Oracle WebService Management / Gateway doubts ?...

hi all,
i have some doubts with OWSM. i created one sample gateway
called Gateway_test. While creating it in component url i have given
http://172.28.10.71:8888/gateway
1) While specifying this URL, Can i use any port number..?
After that, i registered creditrating service to it. Now in service details it specifies
tht
Client Access URLs
Service URL: http://172.28.10.71:8888/gateway/services/SID0003001
Service WSDL URL: http://172.28.10.71:8888/gateway/services/SID0003001?wsdl
But this URLs are not working...? it means Gateway is not running.
Plz anyone can help me out.?

Hi Mishit,
did you configure the gateway with the registered component ID?
Regisitering the Gateway via the OWSM Console is not enough. You have to copy the Component ID into a properties file used by the Gateway in order to establish the connection between the Gateway and the Policy Manager.
To do this :
Stop OWSM
C:\oracle\owsm\bin> coresv stop
Edit the file %OWSM_HOME/config/gateway/gateway-config-installer.properties and update the gateway.component.id attribute with the Component ID generated before :
ex: gateway.component.id=C0003001
Save the gateway-config-installer.properties file and re-start the OWSM :
C:\oracle\owsm\bin> coresv start
1) While specifying this URL, Can i use any port number..?
The port number is the default OC4J (Oracle's J2EE container) port number.
Hope that helps.
Regards
Kersten

Retrieve Client IP Address in a Oracle WebServices Manager Custom Policy

Hi everybody,
For some reasons i had to implement a custom policy in the OWSM, to restrict the access to webservices by Client IP Addresses. I´ve been following the examples for custom policies mentioned in the books: "Oracle Web Services Manager, Oracle Web Services Manager" by Sitaraman Lakshminarayanan, and the "Oracle® Web Services Manager Extensibility Guide 10g (10.1.3.3.0)" by Oracle. I followed the examples mentioned in those books to implement my Custom policy, the policy is successfully deployed to OWSM and it works, only by the issue that when i want to retrieve the Client Ip address it returns null, and following the example by the Oracle Guide, the HttpServletRequest its also returns null, im desperated because in every site that i finally find some info about it, quotes any of these 2 examples in those books, and mine doesnt work! this is the code of the custom policy, i´ve combined the 2 aproaches:

Hi again
copied your code for testing. And it works fine.
So both the code and policy-step definition is fine, log output below.
What is your log output?
Using soapui to send the request will give the ip of my localhost, using the test client will give the ip of the server, because that is the actual client.
I guess the server ip is 192.168.0.1 in your case, as you are testing from test console.
anyway, results from SOAPUI:

OIM integration with Microsoft CRM by using webservices? (OIM: Oracle Identity Management)

Hi Guys,

We currently have ILM 2007 in our environment with limited usage at the moment. We are looking at purchasing Oracle Identity Manager to implement an enterprise wide IAM solution.
We were wondering if it is possible to continue using ILM like a middleware between our AD forests and the Oracle IdM. Where the Oracle IdM is the overarching IAM solution and Microsoft ILM 2007/FIM 2010 is like the metadirectory for our AD forests.
Is this possible without installing the Oracle Management Connector on any of our DCs and using ILM as the directory that Oracle IdM connects to. All AD account provisioning/de-provisioning, acct updates, password sync/reset will be initiated from the Oracle IdM to ILM and then implemented on AD. In order words no direct interaction with AD domain controllers from Oracle IdM, everything will go to ILM and ILM in turn applies it to AD.
Is this possible?yes

Is there a custom connector that will work with ILM 2007/FIM 2010Yes, if you write one you will have a custom connector

Is this a simple customization or something that can be problematic and expensive?It won't be simple. Problematic and expensive maybe, depends on how good you are with OIM and ILM

Oracle Performance Management doubts

Hi All,
I have some questions related to Oracle performance management and hope they will get answered over here:-
Que1. The weight of all objective should be 100 but in my case it is allowing any value. What I need to do to restrict it?
Que2. Can we do objective setting and Appraisal process simultaneously? That would be allocate objective and rating in parallel?
Que3. When and how the rating provided by manager would reflect in the Performance (People --> Assignment --> other --> Performance) widow and what would be the effective date. I have completed all setup and process but the final rating is still not available.
Que4. What is difference between Talent management, Performance management and Workforce performance Management?
Que5. When I include the Appraisal in the PMP and select the Appraisal template (that just has final rating) and click on the "Go to Task" against "Manage appraisals" (to initiate it) I do not see anything. Do we/manager need to create plan every time using the link Appraisal.
Sorry for asking too many questions.
Thanks,
Avinash

Que1. The weight of all objective should be 100 but in my case it is allowing any value. What I need to do to restrict it?
ANS : This is a seeded one. If you want to restrict it you have to customize the page.
Que2. Can we do objective setting and Appraisal process simultaneously? That would be allocate objective and rating in parallel?
ANS : There is a checkbox "Allow Objective Setting outside of the period" (something like that).
Que4. What is difference between Talent management, Performance management and Workforce performance Management?
ANS: AFAIK, Oracle Talent Management and Oracle Performance Management are same. Prior to Oracle Performance Management, the module name was Oracle Talent Management.
Que5. When I include the Appraisal in the PMP and select the Appraisal template (that just has final rating) and click on the "Go to Task" against "Manage appraisals" (to initiate it) I do not see anything. Do we/manager need to create plan every time using the link Appraisal.
ANS : You can schedule the concurrent program, "Mass Appraisal Creation".
Hope it helps!.

Power Query/Data Management Gateway data refresh not working

Pretty new to o365/Power BI, but here's what I've got going on (hopefully someone can help me out):
I created a data management gateway and data source. The data source says it's online in the PowerBI admin center, and it seems to be working correctly. I can open Excel 2013 on my desktop (logging in as my trial o365 account which has Power
BI associated with it) and connect to the data source via Power Query using the oData option. I make sure to import the data into the model, and then open up the PowerPivot window and create a simple pivot table using the data in the model.
that all works just great. The problem comes when I upload the workbook and try to update it. I've tried a few different ways.
1. When I try to manually refresh the workbook by opening it in my o365 site and going to data-->refresh I get the following error:
      An error occurred while working on the Data Model in the workbook. Please try again.
      We were unable to refresh one or more data connections in this workbook.
      The following connections failed to refresh:
      Connection: Power Query - dbo_DimProductCategory
      Error: Out of line object 'DataSource', referring to ID(s) 'a75593f3-c34d-4f83-9458-49aa2cece164', has been specified but has not been used.
      The following system error occurred: Class not registered
      The provider 'Microsoft.Mashup.OleDb.1' is not registered.
      Power Query - dbo_DimProductCategory
2. When I go into Power BI and go to "Schedule Data Refresh" for the workbook, I get the following error:
      Sorry, the data connections in this report arenâ€™t supported for Scheduled Refresh.
      Technical Details â–¼
      Correlation ID: B3CE4B10-2137-E593-6FCF-189B73465190
      Date and Time: 03/31/2014 06:20:39 PM (UTC)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you need additional information, I'd be happy to provide it.

Hey Guy,
Thanks for the reply.
The "data source type" of the data source in Power BI is "SQL Server" (there was only that and Oracle available to select from)
The "data source type" that Power Query is using in Excel is "From oData Feed"....which is using the Power BI data source....which is using the data management gateway.
A few follow up questions if you have a second
1. Do you know when PowerQuery data refresh will be supported? (just a general idea....weeks, months, next year?)
2. Is there any other way to connect to (and be able to refresh) PowerBI data sources referencing "on prem" data via the data management gateway? I tried using the oData feed URL in non-PowerQuery areas of excel (excel data tab, PowerPivot directly)
but it didn't work. If there's some other way to connect to and refresh on prem data, i'm all ears :D
Really appreciate your help, thanks for taking the time.

Oracle Content Management SDK

Let's see if we can get a thread going in regards to Oracle's << apparent >> intent to cease bundling iFS with the
Oracle 9i Database Server. In a statement shared with me just a little bit ago, Oracle states that licensing implications
for current database customers using what is to be called << in 9.0.3 >> the Oracle Content Management SDK is to be
determined...
Bunk! Now that they have people roped in, they're going to break the API out, and license << big $$$$, no doubt >>
it separately! Go Micro$oft! errrr... oracle...

Robert,
I would say that there are pro's and con's to both arguments. If you want to make use of iFS with ID, Web Cache etc then you're going to need a copy of 9iAS anyway and as iFS becomes more integrated with various applications then you can see where Oracle is coming from.
If you are a software house developing solutions based on iFS then this makes the licensing issue much cleaner and simpler for clients to understand (something which we have come up against as iFS is availabe in 9iDB and 9iAS). It also means that iFS should receive greater exposure within Oracle as the account managers are more likely to do something with it as it is a revenue generator.
Naturally the other side is if you are developing an application or just using iFS in house then having to purchase 9iAS can seem like unwanted overhead. I think over the coming months we are likely to see iFS more tightly integrated with iAS so eventually to make use of that additional functionality you will need a copy of iAS. I guess it depends what you are doing with it as the API is likely to be packaged in a similar way as other dev kits.

Sorry I didn't see this before, but it wasn't on the most recent posts. Please see related post here OVM Sparc - Can't discover local disks
The net is that the initial support for Oracle VM Manager with Oracle VM Server for SPARC only supports NFS for repository (and virtual disks).

Oracle Vm Manager login timeout

We are testing Oracle Vm Manager and notice that the timeout when logged into the web interface is really low. It logs you out after a minute the you have to refresh and login again. It is driving us crazy. Is there a way to increase the logout time for the Manager web interface?

Hi,
another option is the following:
Include some shared="true" into /opt/oc4j/j2ee/home/config/secure-web-site.xml

Hi Lincy,
Individuals who come forward voluntarily to help others here are from different capacity of knowledge and awareness. In addition, the OP should be considerate enough to understand the posters who come up to answer may be also occupied with the retrospective official and personal obligations which may also lead to non-availability.
As long as the posted question is familiar with to the individuals coming up to help, obviously there is no doubt we will help as long as it is provided that we are not personally obliged with some other works. But there may also be certain areas where each and every volunteers are aware of. This could be the probable reason which keeps certain answers unanswered. But you may also raise an SR in case you urgently require resolution.
But anyways best of luck mate, and hope your questions be better dealt
when i post ,doubts related to oracle property manager in EBS General Discussion ,i get no replies
What is the issue you have?
Thanks &

Fresh install of Oracle VM Manager Template into Oracle VM Server

Hi,
I am trying to install the Oracle VM Manager template and then
create an Oracle VM Manager client.
I have already done a 'fresh install' of Oracle VM Server.
I do not have another machine available to use to contain the
'Oracle VM Manager', therefore, I am attempting to install the
Oracle VM Manager template directly into an Oracle VM Manager Server and
run the client.
I am following the instructions of the Oracle VM Server Users Guide
in section 4.3.
When I extract the zip file contents into the
/OVS/seed_pool directory, I get the following files.
Deploy_Manager_Template.sh
OVM_EL5U3_X86_OVM_MANAGER_PVM.tgz
So far, so good.
Next, I used 'tar' to help me extract the directories of the .tgz file.
So far, so good.
Next, as instructed, I used 'python' and 'print randomMAC()' to create a new MAC address.
Inside the /OVS/seed_pool/OVM_EL5U3_X86_OVM_MANAGER_PVM/vm.cfg file
I modified the vif MAC address. I replaced the
xx:xx:xx with the 'last three' that were generated by the python randomMAC
function from above.
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3E:<my generated numbers>', ]
So far, so good?
In the Oracle VM Server Users Guide in section 4.3.,
The next step, expains that I should run
xm create mv.cfg
I did this. When I ran this I received back the error.
Using config file "./vm.cfg"
Error disk is not accessible.
When I peek inside my vm.cfg file.
I see file references starting with the following
file:/OVS/running_pool/ ...
Of, course my running_pool directory is empty.
(Again, this is a fresh install of Oracle VM Server).
My first question is the following.
Sometime in this process was I supposed to run
the the following executable?
./Deploy_Manager_Template.sh
If so, should I have done this early?
Was the modification of the vif (of adding the MAC address
into the vm.cfg file, something I 'should have not done'
or 'something that could be ignored' because the
'./Deploy_Manager_Template.sh' would have done this for me?
My second question is the following.
Would the following process be 'more correct?'
..1 Not modify the vm.cfg' file.
..2 run ./Deploy_Manager_Template.sh.
..3 In the /OVS/running_pool/ directory find my
vm.cfg file of interest, then modify the vif with a new MAC address.
..4 In /OVS/running_pool/Change my current location to my directory of interest
run xm create vm.cfg (to run my Oracle VM Manager)?
Any help or ideas whould be appreciated.
Thank you very much,
AIM

Hi,
This is the README file for Oracle VM Manager 2.2.0
Readme for Media Pack B57738-01
Print: Access key=P Close: Access key=C
Oracle VM Templates for Oracle VM Manager 2.2.0 Media Pack v1 for x86 (32 bit)
=====================================================================
Template Version 2.3
Oracle VM Manager Version 2.2.0
This document contains:
1. Prerequisites for Oracle VM Manager virtual machine (VM) deployment
2. Oracle VM Manager Template description
3. Creating an Oracle VM Manager Virtual Machine from
Oracle VM Manager Template
4. Deployment Interview
5. Known Issues
For more information on Oracle VM Manager, please refer to
the "Oracle VM Manager Installation Guide" and the "Oracle VM Manager
User's Guide" available at:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15458_01/index.htm
1. Prerequisites
================
- A new install of Oracle VM Server 2.2 that has NOT been managed by another
Oracle VM Manager. Manager Template 2.2 is intended to be installed on Oracle
VM 2.2 server. If you have a new Oracle VM 2.1.5 server and want to deploy
Oracle VM Manager template, please use the Oracle VM 2.1.5 Manager template.
Note: root access to the server's dom0 is required.
- It's highly recommended that you upgrade the default agent (ovs-agent-2.3-19)
to ovs-agent-2.3-27 or later. You can get the latest Oracle VM 2.2 packages
from Oracle's Unbreakable Linux Network (http://linux.oracle.com).
Note: Alternate location to get Oracle VM agent 2.3-27 is
http://oss.oracle.com/oraclevm/server/2.2/RPMS/ovs-agent-2.3-27.noarch.rpm
- A working directory of the Oracle VM Server 2.2 has at least 4GB free space
for downloading and installing the template. The working directory can be any
directory on the Oracle VM server except /OVS/running_pool.
Note: The /root partition of the default Oracle VM server install may not have
enough space to temporarily host the template installation. Please use other
directory that has sufficient free space.
- At least 15GB of free space in the cluster root storage repository. For storage
and repository configuration, please refer to Oracle VM 2.2 Server User Guide:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15458_01/doc.22/e15444/storage.htm
and
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15458_01/doc.22/e15444/repository.htm
- At least 2GB of free memory on the Oracle VM Server
- A static IP address for the Oracle VM Manager
- If enabling HA (high availability) for the Oracle VM Manager,
mount a clustered OCFS2 or NFS filesystem on /OVS. If ext3 or a
local OCFS2 filesystem is used, enabling HA will cause the high availability
prerequisite checking to fail. The Oracle VM Manager configuration
process will exit without completing the configuration.
- The Oracle VM Manager will register the first VM that it detects.
To have Oracle VM Manager be the first VM registered,
make sure there are no virtual machine images besides the Oracle VM Manager
virtual machine in the /OVS/running_pool directory on the Oracle VM Server.
- A desktop or other system with a VNC Viewer installed
The steps below assume that the Oracle VM Server used is not currently
or was not previously managed by another Oracle VM Manager. If this is not
the case, the instructions below will ask user clean up Oracle VM Agent DB
before running the Oracle VM Manager.
2. Oracle VM Manager Template Description
=========================================
The Oracle VM Manager Template is distributed as one archive file which
includes:
File Version
OVM_EL5U3_X86_OVM_MANAGER_PVM.tgz 2.3
Deploy_Manager_Template.sh 2.3
The OVM_EL5U3_X86_OVM_MANAGER_PVM.tgz archive contains two disk images,
a VM configuration file and a readme file:
- Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3 x86 system disk image
- Oracle VM Manager 2.2 disk image
- vm.cfg
- README
The system image is a JeOS (Just enough OS) installation of Oracle
Enterprise Linux 5.3. It is a smaller footprint install that contains
the only packages needed by Oracle VM Manager.
Oracle VM Manager is configured to use Oracle Database 10g
Express Edition (included).
Deploy_Manager_Template.sh is used to check the prerequisite and
create virtual machine.
During the first boot of the Oracle VM Manager virtual machine,
the Oracle VM Manager configuration process will create server pool
and import the Oracle VM Manager virtual machine.
Two OS user accounts are created by default:
user: root password: ovsroot
user: oracle password: oracle
The user 'oracle' belongs to the 'oinstall' and 'dba' groups.
The default vnc console password is 'oracle'
3. Creating the Oracle VM Manager virtual machine
=================================================
1) Download the Oracle VM Manager Template (V19215-01.zip)
from http://edelivery.oracle.com/oraclevm
2) Login to the Oracle VM Server's dom0 as 'root'
Copy V19215-01.zip to your working directory with at least 4GB free space.
You can choose any directory on OVM Server except /OVS/running_pool.
This zip file contains the archive file OVM_EL5U3_X86_OVM_MANAGER_PVM.tgz
and a deploy script Deploy_Manager_Template.sh
3) As root, run
# unzip V19215-01.zip
4) As 'root', run the deployment script:
# chmod 755 Deploy_Manager_Template.sh
# ./Deploy_Manager_Template.sh
The deployment script Deploy_Manager_Template.sh will complete the following
tasks:
a) prerequisite checking
b) uncompress OVM_EL5U3_X86_OVM_MANAGER_PVM.tgz file to directory
/OVS/running_pool. This directory will contain the files following files:
/OVS/running_pool/OVM_EL5U3_X86_OVM_MANAGER_PVM
|- System.img (OS image file)
|- Manager.img (Manager image file)
|- vm.cfg (VM configuration file)
|- README (Readme file)
c) generate and assign new MAC address to the virtual machine
d) interview the user for VM and VM Manager configuration parameters
(next section 'Deployment interview' provides the list of questions)
e) create and boot the virtual machine from the Oracle VM Server
command line
f) display the access information for Oracle VM Manager and Oracle VM
Manager VM
4. Deployment Interview
=======================
The deployment script will prompt a user to enter
a) Agent password
The agent password is required for the prerequisites check.
b) Storage configuration
Storage Source: NFS address, OCFS2 partition path
The script will automatically detect your cluster root storage repository
if you have configured it. Or it prompts users to input their storage source
and the script tries to set it up as cluster root.
NOTE: how to manually create your own storage repository in OracleVM server 2.2.x
1) Register your storage source. Example:
/opt/ovs-agent-2.3/utils/repos.py -n myhost:/mynfslocation
/opt/ovs-agent-2.3/utils/repos.py -n /dev/sdb3
Note that the storage source should have at least 15GB free space.
If the storage source is successfully registered, note down the uuid genereated
by the command above, such as:
51d4c69b-e439-41ac-8b31-3cc485c993b0 => /dev/sdb3
2) Mount your storage repository.
If the agent version is 2.3-27 or higher, execute:
/opt/ovs-agent-2.3/utils/repos.py -i
otherwise, complete the following commands:
[1] mkdir -p /var/ovs/mount/$(echo <uuid> | sed s/-//g | tr '[:lower:]' \
'[:upper:]')"
where '<uuid>' is the uuid noted down in step 2)
[2] mount your storage source to the directory made in step [1].
3) If /OVS exists, delete or move /OVS
mv /OVS "/OVS.$(date '+%Y%m%d-%H%M%S').orig"
create a symbolic link from storage repository to /OVS
ln -nsf /var/ovs/mount/<UUID>/ /OVS
c) Network configuration
Static IP address
Netmask
Default Gateway IP address
DNS Server IP address
Hostname
d) Password for database accounts:
'SYS' and 'SYSTEM' (the same password the same password is used)
'OVS'
'oc4jadmin'
'admin'
e) Web Service configuration (supported in template in version 1.2)
Web Service password (at least 6 characters)
Enable HTTPS or not
f) SMTP server (outgoing mail server SMTP hostname)
E-mail Address for account 'admin'
g) Data for the manager services configuration:
Oracle VM Server Pool Name
Oracle VM Server login user name
Oracle VM Server login password
Note that Oracle VM Manager is critical for managing Oracle VM Server Pools.
Do not pause, suspend or shutdown this virtual machine! Configuring
HA is recommended for this virtual machine so that Oracle VM will
automatically restart the Oracle VM Manager virtual machine if there
is a server crash.
5. Known Issues
===============
1) You may see messages on a virtual machine's console similar to these
when the virtual machine is booting up:
Fatal: No PCI config space access function found
rtc: IRQ 8 is not free.
i8042.c: No controller found.
These messages can be ignored.
2) Mail server check fails.
Bug #7140 in bugzilla.oracle.com
Oracle VM Manager installer only checks the default SMTP port 25 for the
mail server. If the SMTP port is not 25, the check fails, and you will
see the following message:
Mail server '<mail server hostname>' check failed, want to re-enter it(Y|n)?
You can enter 'n' to skip the mail server checking. You will also see the
send mail checking fails with following message:
Failed to send mail to '<Admin e-mail address>'
want to re-enter the e-mail address(Y|n)?
You can enter 'n' to skip the send mail checking.
3) OEL VM console may display error messages similar to those below:
BUG: warning at drivers/xen/fbfront/xenfb.c:143/xenfb_update_screen() (Not
tainted)
Call Trace:
[<ffffffff803aa461>] xenfb_thread+0x135/0x2c5

[<ffffffff802338ca>] kthread+0x0/0x132
[<ffffffff80260b1a>] child_rip+0x0/0x12
This will not cause any problems.
4) If you accidentally power off Oracle VM Manager virtual machine through
Oracle Manager UI, and restart the virtual machine from OVM server command
line, although Oracle VM Manager virtual machine is running normally,
the virtual machine status in Manager UI will stay in 'Shutting Down'.
This is expected, as the virtual machine status sync will only happen when
the virtual machine status is "Error" or "Powered Off".
To re-sync the virtual machine status, please complete the following steps:
1. Log on the Manager UI;
2. Navigate to the 'Virtual Machines' tab;
3. Select Oracle VM Manager virtual machine, "OVM_EL5U3_X86_OVM_MANAGER_PVM";
4. Choose 'Reset' from 'More Actions' dropdown list;
5. Click 'Go' button, the status will become "Running" after a while.
5) (Bug 9191053) For OVS agent version 2.3-19, the following High
Availability scenario will not work.
"If a Virtual Machine Server fails, all running virtual machines are
restarted automatically on another available Virtual Machine Server."
For OVS agent 2.3-19, Oracle VM Manager virtual machine will not be
automatically restarted on any other available Virtual Machine Server,
but on the original Virtual Machine Server when it becomes available again.
To fix the issue, please upgrade OVS agent to 2.3-27 or the latest version.

Is Oracle Project Management has all features which Microsoft Project Plan?

Hello Experts,
Customer wanted to start using Oracle Project Management suit completly along with little Microsoft project plan. as of now most of the projects are using microsoft project plan for project management and Oracle Project suit is for Costing and Billing.
But in order to start this initiative, we need to explain the difference which Oracle Project Management can not able to do but Microsoft project plan can. Based on this management will take the decesion.
As per my understanding, Orace Project Management can perform all the tasks except scheduling. As it supports scheduling from third party software like Microsoft project plan / primavera etc.
Rest I think Oracle Project management suit is equally matured to perform all the project management task which Mircosoft project management can perform.
So experts , can you please confirm my understanding and provide me some light on this topic.
Thanks :-)

Hi,
First of all, I would like to know what are the various things you are performing with a Microsoft project plan apart from scheduling the resources to a specific project .
Through Oracle Project Management, you can control the visibility of a resource,assign it to a particular project and control the tracking of the time in various assignments.If that is what you are trying to achieve through Oracle Project Management icnluding the other features it has, you can surely go for it.
Let me know if you have any doubts on it.

Tanvi

Add rule to oracle connection manager

Oracle 11.2.0.4 on Linux.
I need to add a rule in my oracle connection manager.
Now I do not use rule:
(rule_list=
(rule=
(src=*)(dst=*)(srv=*)(act=accept)
(action_list=(aut=off)(moct=0)(mct=0)(mit=0)(conn_stats=on))
I can add a rule like this:
(rule_list=
(rule=
(src=*)(dst=dbxx-int.dbc.cineca.it)(srv=service_name1_ext)(act=accept)
(src=*)(dst=dbxx-int.dbc.cineca.it)(srv=service_name2_ext)(act=accept)
(action_list=(aut=off)(moct=0)(mct=0)(mit=0)(conn_stats=on))
Since my two service_name end with ext can I use a single rule like this:
I can add a rule like this:
(rule_list=
(rule=
(src=*)(dst=dbxx-int.dbc.cineca.it)(srv=*_ext)(act=accept)
(action_list=(aut=off)(moct=0)(mct=0)(mit=0)(conn_stats=on))

this forum is commonly used to connect from Oracle databases to foreign databases using Oracle's gateway product. A connection manager can't be used here. You might ask that question in the generic database forum:
General Questions
but in my opinion you should log a service request to get assiatance.
