Oracle12c SQL*NET blocked by Windows 2008 firewall - what is the correct solution?

Hello,
I have a question with regards to the SQL*NET traffic being blocked by the Windows 2008 firewall. This document shows that disabling the firewall can resolve the problem:
https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?_afrLoop=166773506396122&id=1472931.1&displayIndex=13&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=o4dq0hlih_112
Is this really the solution?
From what I understand from other documents is that just enabling port 1521 will not resolve any issues, as SQL*NET can use redirection to other random ports. That is probably the reason why the Oracle installation does not alter any firewall settings.
What other methods do people use to connect a client to a DB server?
This document shows what other methods to use, but who uses them?
https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?_afrLoop=166043735580557&id=68652.1&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=o4dq0hlih_78
Does anyone use the Oracle Connection Manager for example?
Thanks
Richard

I configure firewall to allow DB Server to start new network connections

  • What is the best solution for running windows based programs

    I have one program that I need windows for.  What is the best solution for doing this without painfully slowing down my mac.

    Depends on your needs.
    BootCamp requires reboot and uses all physical resources of the system.  Only OSX *or* Windows can run.  Better for gaming or memory intensive tasks.  BootCampAssistant must set up the boot sector to make it work.  Also BCA required to remove it.
    VM (virtual machine) like Parallels which "hosts" Windows while still running OSX.  You split RAM between the two environments.  VM is just another program so no special boot sector changes needed, but not good for graphics or RAM intensive programs.
    Other recommended alternates to Parallels (paid) are VM Fusion (paid) and VirtualBox (free download from Oracle.com).

  • What is the correct boot camp support driver for late 2009 Macbook for windows 8.1

    I have late 2009 Macbook with OS X 10.9.4.  I want to run boot camp for windows 8.1, but unable to due to the fact that it can only run Windows 7.  What is the correct Boot Camp Support Software so that I can run Windows 8.1?

    Thanks for the info, but unfortunately there is no current support software or update for my issue at this time.  I found the information under Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating system.  Hopefully Apple will fix this issue promptly!

  • Sql 2008 r2 cluster side by side with sql 2012 cluster on Windows 2008 R2

    We have a SQL 2008R2 active/passive SQL cluster running on Windows 2008 R2 cluster.
    I would like to add a SQL 2012 clustered instance to the same Winows 2008 R2 cluster.
    Are there any issues involved having a SQL 2008 R2 clustered instance running side by side with a SQL 2012 instance in same Windows 2008 R2 cluster?
    Are there any pitfalls/"gotchas" to watch for with SQL 2012 cluster install?
    Thank you so much!

    Hello,
    Two instances, one SQL Server 2008 and the other SQL Server 2012, side-by-side, is fully supported.
    I would like to recommend you to assign a different port (not port 1433) to the non-default instance
    to avoid an IP address conflict between both instances.
    Hope this helps.

  • Upload Ftp commands in C# program are blocked by Windows 7 firewall

    Hello everybody,
    I have developped a C# application which launches a Ftp command file.
    But I cannot upload the files.
    When I run the Ftp command file manually, it works.
    And when I disable the Windows 7 firewall for domain, the C# application works.
    Here is the Ftp command file :
    OPEN 100.100.100.100
    user usr_essai
    pwd_essai
    binary
    cd dir_essai
    mput "C:\Essai_Ftp\*.doc"
    quit
    And here is the Ftp log file when I try to run the C# application :
    ftp> Connecté à 100.100.100.100
    OPEN 100.100.100.100
    220 ESSAI1
    ftp> user usr_essai
    331 User usr_essai, password please
    230 Password Ok, User logged in
    ftp> binary
    200 Type Binary
    ftp> cd dir_essai
    250 Change directory ok
    ftp> ftp>
    mput "C:\Essai_Ftp\*.doc"

    200 Port command received
    425 Unable to open the data connection
    ftp> ftp>
    quit
    221
    I have tried to exclude some programs from the firewall.
    I have created out going rules for excluding "ftp" and "w3wp.exe" in the firewall.
    But none of these actions have made the C# application to work.
    Do you have an idea ?
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Laurent.

    IPOD model A1059 appears frozen and is unresponsive to all click wheel entries. Reset does not work.  Does not show up in ITunes or in Windows Explorer.  What is the problem and is there a fix?

    If you are unable to reset the iPod (assuming the hold switch is not in the On position either), then you'll have to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then connect it to a charger and leave it to charge for a couple of hours.

  • What's the correct recovery process once upgraded to Windows 10? (No OneKey Recovery)

    I have a Z50-70 laptop that came preinstalled with Windows 8.1. It is a OEM version, with the product key stored in the Bios. It is a UEFI install. It currently has OneKey recovery installed, which, if I understand correctly (I haven't actually used it yet), allows you to recover from a recovery partition in the hard disk. This isn't a "fresh" Windows 8.1, but an image provided by Lenovo that takes you back to the state the laptop was in when originally purchased (will have all Lenovo software and drivers preinstalled). According to the official Lenovo upgrade guide, before performing the Windows 10 upgrade, we should uninstall basically all Lenovo software, including OneKey recovery and it won't work in Windows 10. Questions: 1. What's the correct process to recover the system from within Windows 10 if something goes badly wrong? I think Windows 10 has a built in "reset your computer" functionality in Settings which I assume is what we would be expected to use. Would this take me to:a. A completely fresh install of Windows 10?b. An image created during the 8.1 to 10 upgrade, containing all my files etc at the point of performing the upgrade?c. Or would it use the Lenovo recovery partition (that OneKey Recovery would have used if it was compatible) and take me back to Windows 8.1?d. Something else? 2. Once I've performed the upgrade and Windows 10 has successfully activated, I believe I could create a bootable media with the Windows 10 ISO, boot into it and install a completely clean installation of Windows 10 and it would activate. I could theoretically do as many fresh installs from the bootable media as I want, so long as initially I did the upgrade (not a clean install), and the laptop hardware doesn't change. Is that correct?2a. If so, during the first clean bootable media install process, would I be safe to compeletly remove the Lenovo recovery partition entirely, and from that point onwards rely on Windows 10's "Reset your PC" functionality? Could I could even just use reinstalling Windows 10 from bootable media again as a way of recovering? If I understand correctly, it doesn't make sense to keep the recovery partition it if it can't be used within Windows 10. I think it I had a regular desktop PC with a retail version of Windows, then all the above would be fine. The added complications here are that 1. I have no Windows 8.1 product key (it's handled alll by the BIOS), and 2. I have no recovery disks. I want to make sure I understand everything fully before upgrading, and potentially doing a clean install using bootable media, so that I don't end up messing something up and ending up with either a laptop that I can't recover, of a Windows installation that isn't activated. Thanks.

    Update for anyone else reading: I just uninstalled OneKey recovery on my Windows 8.1 installation, in preparation for the upgrade. So as far as Windows is concerned, OneKey Recovery has been completely removed. The good news is that I then shut down the laptop, pressed the novo button, selected "System Recovery" and I was still greeted with the OneKey recovery program where I could choose to restore from factory image, or a custom image. Therefore I assume that once I've upgraded to Windows 10, I will always have the option to restore to factory Windows 8.1 if I ever need/want to. The confusion seems to be that the OneKey recovery software is actually two separate softwares: 1. OneKey Recovery #1 is installed within the hidden recovery partition that is responsible for performing a system restore from the image of your choosing - either the factory image or a custom image created by OneKey recovery software #2. OneKey Recovery software #1 is always accessible via the Novo button. 2. OneKey Recovery #2 is installed on the Windows 8.1 installation, that is responsible for creating custom system images. You can also choose to restore the system from here, but as far as I can tell, this just restarts the computer and loads up OneKey software #1, which allows you to perform the recovery. OneKey Recovery #2 is the software that Lenovo told us to uninstall before upgrading to Windows 10. However, uninstalling OneKey Recovery #2 will leave OneKey Recovery software #1 in tact.As far as I can tell, this means that uninstalling OneKey Recovery #2 means that we lose the ability to create custom system images, but we retain the ability to restore from a system image. Can anyone confirm that I've understood correctly, and that what I've said above is indeed the case? I'm still a little unsure about what Windows 10's built in "Reset this PC" will do though - whether it will use Lenovo's recovery partition or perform a clean Windows 10 install.

  • NAC reports "Windows Update Agent is not the correct version"

    We just switched from CAM validation to Windows Update validation using NAC agent 4.7.2.10 (Clean access) and are begining to see lots of 64 bit Vista/Win7 machines with the "Windows Update Agent is not the correct version" issue.  We have 9 cases in less than a day and growing fast.
    Is there a resolution for this issue? Suggestions anyone?

    Hi Sam,
    I'm having the same issue, but on Windows 7 32-bits machines.  Were you able to overcome this problem?... I haven't been able to identify a pattern on machines that prompt "Windows Update Agent is not the correct version", but it happens randomly.  Our workaround is to reboot the machine, and then Agent completes posture validation without any prompt.

  • Windows 2008 x64 TS Printing - The data area passed to a system call is too small

    Hi,
    I have a Windows 2008 TS using Easy Print. The server has two quad core cpu's with 16Gb of ram and is running a light processing accounting program for 80 users. The machine and easy print both work fine until the server reaches about 5Gb of memory in use. Once this happens user's documents stop printing with event id's 6161 The data area passed to a system call is too small being logged. None of the hotfixes seem to be applicable to my scenario as I am not getting the common "Access Denied" error. I have increased received and transmit buffer sizes on both NIC's to the 2048 maximum, and set the Sizreqbuf setting in the registry - to no avail.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thanks for the post.
    The Event error 6161 is caused by one of the following conditions:
    The printer is not reachable on the network
    Windows cannot allocate sufficient memory
    There was invalid or incomplete data received by the print spooler
    A driver upgrade failed
    There is a bad printer device driver
    For more information, please refer to the following article:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773865(WS.10).aspx
    In this case, I assume that this issue may be caused by the insufficient memory.
    In Event Viewer, examine the event and look for the following text: "Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 8. Not enough storage is available to process this command".
    If so, please collect system information for 60 seconds and generate a System Diagnostics Report:
    Open an elevated Command Prompt window. (Click Start, point to All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.)
    At the command prompt, type perfmon /report and then press ENTER. Reliability and Performance Monitor will start collecting data to create the System Diagnostics Report.
    When the report is ready for viewing, locate the Diagnostic Results section of the report, and then check for any warnings (indicated by Warnings in the report). You can follow links to additional help on resolving warnings from this section. In addition, you can expand each category in the Basic System Checks section to see more details about why warnings appear. Also, the Performance section provides process-level details about top consumers of resources. You might need to increase the size of the paging file or add physical memory.
    Thanks,
    Miles
