Path of Sqlnet.ora and Tnsnames.ora

Hi all
Why I have one
Sqlnet.ora
in
C:\ORAWIN95\NETWORK\ADMIN
and
one in
C:\ORAWIN95\NET80\ADMIN
and
Tnsnames.ora
in
C:\ORAWIN95\NET80\ADMIN
and
C:\ORAWIN95\NETWORK\ADMIN
and
C:\ORAWIN95\NET80\TNSAPI
why they are duplicated?
thanks
Sobrinho

It looks like you have (or had) multiple versions of SQL*Net.
Oracle 8 put everything in %oracle_home%\net80 while Oracle 7 and 9 use %oracle_home%\network

  • Meaning of sqlnet, listener and tnsnames

    I am a newbie.
    what is the purpose of sqlnet.
    what is meaning of i the listener:
    SID_LIST_LISTENER =
    (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
    (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
    (ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db1)

    what is the meaning of in tnsnames:
    EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))

    This is a windows 10g database on my laptop.
    I am getting error message when connecting using Toad:
    ORA-12514 - tns Listener could not resolve service name given in connect descriptor
    Thank You....................

    first, open the net manager assistant, and add you database to the services of your listener, after this check your tnsnames.ora file, to see if the database service is on the file, for more information, search in the database documentation chapters about Oracle Net.
    And sqlnet.ora, is the file that recognize the way you will connect to the database, try to read, the Oracle Databas 10g Administrator's Guide.

  • Database connectivity requiring oracle wallet, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora

    We have a new datasource that I need to write a report against.  In order to access the db, I have to install an Oracle wallet on my pc that contains a certificate.  I then have an entry in the sqlnet.ora file that references this wallet, and I have an entry in my tnsnames file.  I wrote a report successfully on my pc.  We then have our Business Objects installation on a Sun Solaris machine with Unix.  We installed the wallet, added the sqlnet.ora entry, and the tnsnames.ora entry.  I am able to connect to the db from the unix command prompt by typing sqlplus username@dbname successfully.  However, when I place my Crystal Report in Bus. Obj. I cannot get it to work.  I go to the CMC, select the report, choose Process, Database.  I am entering Use custom database logon info and choosing Oracle as my database driver.  I then enter the tnsnames entry into the server and enter my username and password and check the use use same database logon as when report is run.  I get the error The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect.  I'm guessing the report is not using the certificate in the wallet when it is trying to log on, but I'm not sure.  Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with this?  Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi Angie,
    you should install the 32bit Oracle driver on your Solaris machine and adjust the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable (in the profile of the BOBJ installation user) to point to the path of the 32bit libraries of your Oracle driver.
    BOBJ is not a native 64bit software and can therefore work only with the 32bit versions of the database drivers.

  • TNSNAME.ORA and SQLNET.ORA

    Hi there!
    My problems is regarding connection to Ora Frms/reports which for so many days I am trying but to no avail.
    Some are suggesting to copy TNSNAME.ORA AND SQLNET.ORA for in order to work better connection on FORMS/REPORT.
    Kindly advice on how to do it.
    thnaks
    null

    If you use 8i, form and report use TNS
    config from sqlplus. If you can get in sqlplus does not mean you can log in
    form ad report. You need to Config the TNS in an option called something like
    'Network Config Assistant'or similar. You should find it from the list.
    Another is to edit the TNSname.ora in the admin directory under you form and report initial path with the command from the previous mail

    db global db name = orcl.this.com
    I would like loadbalancing=on, with TAF basic (no preconnect, retries 10, delay 5.)
    With dynamic service registration.
    What should the tnsnames.ora and listener.ora and sqlnet.ora look like?
    Have read all sorts of literature, getting confused...

    I post my sample configuration here:

  • Help on Listener and Tnsnames.ORA

    Hi guys,
    I just installed Oracle Discoverer Admin Ed Rel 4 recently and i can't connect to Discoverer as well as SQL+ due to listener and tnsnames problem. Can you pls. help me to configure the .ORA files needed for the connection. I was trying to build database and connections local to my laptop. Is this possible using TCP-Loopback?
    Appreciate any help...
    Thanks.
    Enzo

    There's another possible problem on the Windows platform: Database and Discoverer are installed in different Oracle homes, many people configure the sqlnet files inside the database's ORACLE_HOME, which are not read automatically by the other home(s). So solution is to copy all configuration files to ORACLE_HOME\network\admin of all ORACLE_HOMEs OR to set TNS_ADMIN, which points to one central location.

    1 - you can simply copy the files from the server to the client.
    If they are correct, it must work fine
    2 - Follow the examples inside the
    $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/samples
    3 - Follow my examples:
    I will try to make it simple:
    The server must have the listener.ora. The client does not need
    it if you don't have a database there.
    I cannot tell you what is mandatory in the file, and what is not.
    The listener.ora has the interface (addr or name)
    to listen, the port/proto, and some info about your database
    ($ORACLE_HOME and Name).
    #--- Listener.ora -- my minimal settings ---
    LISTENER =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL= TCP)(Host=Server)(Port= 1521))
    (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL= IPC)(KEY = ORCL))
    STARTUP_WAIT_TIME_LISTENER = 1
    CONNECT_TIMEOUT_LISTENER = 10
    TRACE_LEVEL_LISTENER = OFF
    TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT=OFF
    SID_LIST_LISTENER =
    (SID_LIST=(SID_DESC=
    (SID_NAME = SACS)
    (ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/805)))
    #---- end of listener.ora ---
    Both machines can, and should have similar TNSNAMES.ORA:
    tnsnames.ora has the address or name of the server, and the Name
    of the database you wish to connect to.
    #--- tnsnames.ora --- minimal.
    ORCL = (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host=Server)(Port =
    1521)))
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = SACS)))
    #--- end of tnsnames.ora ---
    And finally sqlnet.ora, that is very usefull for setting secure
    networks or
    just logging for looking for errors. You can also set your
    keepalive timeout.
    #--- sqlnet.ora
    TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT = OFF
    names.directory_path = (TNSNAMES)
    SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME = 10
    #-- end of sqlnet.ora --

  • Tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora & listener.ora files are not exit

    DB version: 10.2
    Hello All,
    I just joined the project and notice tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora & listener.ora files are not exit under $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin.
    But still we can connect to the database,
    From command prompt or via enterprise manager studio from client site.
    Any idea?
    OR
    what is the best way to create above files in the existing database?
    DN

    tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora are client side files, listener.ora and sqlnet.ora are server side files.
    Listener.ora need not exist if using defaults and dynamic registration of services. It may be possible to cope without all those files, depending on the environment.
    Is the database on the local or remote computer and how are you connecting (from sqlplus)?
    Maybe you have a tnsnames.ora somwhere else? (Try using find command) Maybe TNS_ADMIN is set?

  • TOAD/OID and TNSNAMES.ORA

    We had OID installed on a trial basis here to replace tnsnames.ora files on servers, laptops and desktops. We have since uninstalled and removed all files and registry entries of the application from the server where it was installed.
    I had my laptop set up to use OID and I removed my TNSNAMES.ORA file. I have since removed all files from my laptop that had anything to do with OID and I put in a new TNSNAMES.ORA file. At the present time I can delete my TNSNAMES.ORA file from my laptop and TOAD will still connect to Oracle. However, SQLPlus or any other tool I use to connect to Oracle will not connect. Also, I can connect to Oracle databases that are not in my current TNSNAMES.ORA file.
    I have scanned my laptop looking for TNSNAMES.ORA files. I have set my registry to include a TNS_ADMIN entry to point to my current TNSNAMES.ORA file and I have set up user and system variables to point to my current TNSNAMES.ORA file but nothing seems to stop TOAD from using the Oracle connection strings that were established in OID. By the way, I uninstalled TOAD, cleaned out all files and registry entries that I know of; then I reinstalled TOAD. That didn't help either.
    Does anybody have any ideas of where I can look to resolve this?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Is it possible, you are a 'victim' of hostname resolution? If there's a constellation like:
    1)You have a host named host.something.com
    2) You enter 'sqlplus scott/[email protected]'
    then Oracle generates
              (DESCRIPTION=
              (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=*)(SERVICE_NAME=host.something.com))
              (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=host.something.com)(PORT=1521))
    Connect will succeed if you have a corresponding configuration on the server side,you don't need any configuration files on the client side.
    BUT, since you have sqlnet.ora, which points to tnsnames as name resolution, it would mean TOAD ignores yout sqlnet.ora. Nevertheless host name resolution could be an explanation for this mysterious behaviour.

  • Listener.ora and Tnsnames.ora created in a different location

    You may not need the listener.ora - it is kinda "optional". Not sqlnet.ora either. There are defaults to survive on.That's fine but I still would like to know why these files got created in a directory different from oraclehome\network\admin?

  • Dead conection detection and sqlnet.ora

    Hello,
    I´m having some doubts regarding the sqlnet.ora.
    I´m configuring the sqlnet.expire_time=10 parameter in sqlnet.ora, restarted the listener and then I connected via a web conection and turned off my computer (client connection)
    Sometimes in 18 or 20 minutes the connection closes, sometimes it remains connected for hours. I turned the trace on and I see a message that the net service read the sqlnet.expire_time = 10 parameter.
    What could be wrong ? Anybody here had this kind of problems configuring dead conections detection ?
    Another doubt. How can I set a inactivity time ? for example , if the user don´t make a query in 30 minutes he´s disconected... I already tried it configuring in Enterprise manager but it also failed.
    SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME
    Purpose:
    Determines time interval to send a probe to verify the session is alive
    Default: None
    Minimum Value: 0 minutes
    Recommended Value: 10 minutes
    Example:
    sqlnet.expire_time=10
    Thank you in advance,
    Felipe

    looking at the trace files we can see that the expire time is configured to 5 minutes . But making tests (like disconecting the net cable) I see a user conected and the 20 after 20 minutes it still conected ...

  • Connect with ldap.ora and sqlnet.ora

    Hi

    Hi VRamirez,
    That's a pretty cool workaround. I'm sorry to hear it didn't work perfectly.
    Here is the "low tech" workaround anyone can use -

  • Listener.ora and tnsnames.ora

    What are the differences between the files listerner.ora and tnsname.ora in terms of their functions? Their contents are so similiar. Thks.
    A beginner

    I need to use ADO with the connection string
    "provider=sqloledb; server=OrclServer;

    And the rest of the connection string you are trying to use looks like one for odbc dsn-less connection. Be sure you are using the correct syntax when you have decided on the type of data access api that is suitable for your application and database.
    You should probably be using OraOLEDB.Oracle data provider, Like Sybrand suggested. Also, be aware of other obsolete providers such as msdaora and msdasql - I'd suggest that you do not use these for a new application (unless you really know what you are doing).
    If you are developing with .NET Framework, then you have another range of data providers to choose from. If you are developing for Oracle data sources, the one from Oracle should be your first choice: ODP.NET.

  • Setting the listener and tnsnames.ora

    Hi,
    I have two node cluster database 10.2.0.4 on Linux. Someone messed up with the tnsnames file and also the local,remote listener setting are gone during the switchover.
    Now I just want to replace the new tns entries,listener entries, set the local/remote listener and then register the local/remote listener. During these changes it will not affect the applications, but just want to know is there any specific steps which I have to keep in mind.
    Thank you.

    The answer to your question is yes. Basically, you need your listener referenced in the listener.ora for each node, then you need to reference those listeners in your tnsnames.ora - one for your local listener and another for your remote listener. A good starting point will be what you've got in your LOCAL_LISTENER and REMOTE_LISTENER parameter - that will show the names of the entries you need to create in the tnsnames.ora. I have all entries in the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora on both nodes just for simplicity but you don't have to do that.
    Any idea what port you used for your listener? The default 1521?
    A couple of examples from my test system:
    listener.ora (we use port 1550 by the way):
    LISTENER_DEVDB_NODE1 =
    (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node1-vip)(PORT = 1550)(IP = FIRST))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node1)(PORT = 1550)(IP = FIRST))
    tnsnames.ora
    LISTENER_DEVDB_NODE1 =
    (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node1-vip)(PORT = 1550)(IP = FIRST))
    LISTENER_DEVDB_NODE2 =
    (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node2-vip)(PORT = 1550)(IP = FIRST))
    LISTENERS_DEVDB =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node1-vip)(PORT = 1550)(IP = FIRST))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node2-vip)(PORT = 1550)(IP = FIRST))
    So our local listener is LISTENER_DEVDB_NODEn for each and REMOTE_LISTENER is LISTENERS_DEVDB on each node.
    Hope that helps. Any further questions let me know....
    cheers,
