Porting Number Question

Hello,
I am currently enrolled in a family shared plan with my parents, and I would like to deactivate this add-on line and create my own.
Is it possible to port my number to the new line? Can I do this online? I'm planning to shop for the phone online, and not to go to an actual store.
Thanks,
Donny.

I believe it is possible as long as you port the number before you get rid of the line your porting from. I would get the phone I want, get the temporary number( whatever number comes with it), when you set up your new account I would say wait a day, then port the number over from your shared line, to your own new line. Because whatever line you are porting from well be in operable once you port it's number to another account. I just did something similar to this. My contract with sprint was about to be over, so all I needed to do was, wait til I got my phone from verizon, after starting my new contract. It came with it's own number, but when the contract was about to be over, instead of losing my number FOREVER, I could just port it to my new verizon phone. Once you create your verizon account you can port the number by going to Manage My Account and then going to Change My Number.

HTTP Installation & Port Number Questions?

Hi All,
I am trying to install the HTTP server from the companion cd I only select the HTTP server to be installed, is this correct??
When configuring the DAD file for the apex 3.1, what is the port number that I have to write is it 7777 or 8080?
Regards

Hello,
The default is 7777, but you can verify that by opening the httpd.conf file in your Apache directory.
You'll see a line with Port there.
Also when you run for ex. http://localhost:7777/ do you see Apache? If not it's probably using a different port.
Regards,
Dimitri

Select Listener Port Number from which_table?

I'm writing a SQL script that, among other things, disconnects from Oracle and then reconnects to the same instance as a different user. I'm able to query v$database and v$instance to get most of the information I need (host, service name, etc) for the reconnect part. The only part I'm missing is the listener port number. I could hard code it to 1521, but that isn't very flexible. Currently, I'm prompting the user (which is normally me) for the listener port number in the SQL script, but that just seems a little bit lame. So my question is this: is there a view or table somewhere in the sys schema that I could use to view the listener configuration? I'm mostly working with 10gR2+ databases.

That is possible, but it needs to be a standard Oracle configuration if the script is to remain generic and portable. The script is actually working fine as-is. I was just trying to go the extra mile and determine the port number automatically. I could also prompt for a TNSNames entry as suggested by others, but I don't always have an entry defined for all of the Oracle instances in my company on every workstation that I work from.
Here is the script for anyone that is interested. It started out as a script that I found online, but the original did not work with 11g case-sensitive passwords and it only worked for local connections on the server.
Description:
Allows a DBA user to impersonate another user (without knowing the user's password).
Similar in function to using the SU command in Unix/Linux.
Note:
This script temporarily changes the impersonated user's password and may cause other
connection attempts by that user to fail during the moment that the temporary password is in effect.
WHENEVER SQLERROR EXIT
SET VERIFY OFF
ACCEPT username CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the username: '
ACCEPT listenerport NUMBER DEFAULT 1521 PROMPT 'Enter the listener port [1521]: '
-- Define substitution variables and column mapping.
COLUMN username NEW_VALUE username
COLUMN password_hash NEW_VALUE password_hash
COLUMN host_name NEW_VALUE hostname
COLUMN instance_name NEW_VALUE servicename
-- Populate substitution variables.
SELECT

-- Get the user's password hash(s) and apply appropriate formatting for case-sensitive password if needed (11g+ passwords).
NVL2(spare4, spare4 || ';' || password /* 11g+ */, password /* pre-11g */) AS password_hash
FROM sys.user$
WHERE name = UPPER('&username');
SELECT host_name, instance_name
FROM v$instance;
-- Set the user's password to a temporary value.
ALTER USER &username IDENTIFIED BY TempPass;
-- Use the temporary password to connect to the database as the user.
CONNECT &username/TempPass@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=&hostname)(PORT=&listenerport))(CONNECT_DATA=(UR=A)(SID=&servicename)));
-- Reset the user's password to the original value using the original password hash(s).
ALTER USER &username IDENTIFIED BY VALUES '&password_hash';
SHOW USER
UNDEFINE username
UNDEFINE password_hash
UNDEFINE hostname
UNDEFINE servicename
UNDEFINE listenerport
WHENEVER SQLERROR CONTINUE
SET VERIFY ONAnd by so doing you just kicked the user's password expiration on down the road, negating the benefit of havng a password expiration.
Also, you locked out the legitimate user of this account, until such time as you reset it back to the original. And in the mean time, if this happens to be an account used by some automated process, that process doesn't know the new "temporary" password and runs a risk of locking the account from too many invalid connection attempts. Try to become SYSMAN or DBSNMP from this, and you will very quickly kill OEM.
This has "bad idea" written all over it. What problem is it supposed to be be solving?

How to know the port number to which the server process is listening

I have created oracle 10g Release 1 database(orcl) in Windows Xp Professional edition through DBCA . I also created one more database(sample) manually .
The ORCL server process listens to port no 1521 and
SAMPLE server process listens to port no 1522
Once I start the OracleServiceORCL (Service for orcl) from services.msc and check the listener status it displays
Service "orcl" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "orcl", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
But when I start OracleServiceSAMPLE (Service for sample) from services.exe and check the listener status there is no change . Only when i start the instance the dynamic registration takes place with port no 1521 .
There is no entry for listener parameter in init.ora file . My question is how is the service ORCL able to get itself registered with the listener even before the instance is up ?
And how can i know which port no is linked with which server process?
Also if we provide a different port number(other than 1521 say 1522) in tnsnames.ora for a service and consider the listener is listening to both 1521 and 1522 . Now consider that port number 1521 is free . In this case to which port number will the service be listening to ?
The listener file looks like this
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db_2)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = irobo)(PORT = 1521))
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = irobo)(PORT = 1522))
The tnsnames file has the following entry
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = irobo)(PORT = 1522))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = ORCL)
SAMPLE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = irobo)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = ORCL)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
)

Service "orcl" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "orcl", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...[coe]
The status tells you the instance is up. Starting the service often means the instance gets started also, but whatever "often" means, "READY" means "The instance is up, running and taking callers".
Your statement that "ORCL [is] able to get itself registered with the listener even before the instance is up" is therefore factually incorrect: you started the service, that started the instance. The instance is up and running. Instances that aren't running don't exist. Things which don't exist don't register themselves. Things which HAVE registered themselves therefore do exist.. and if they say they are "ready", it means they are completely, 100% up and running and behaving quite normally.
I have not set LOCAL_LISTENER initialization parameter.How is this happening ?
You only need to set LOCAL_LISTENER if (a) you're not using TCP/IP, (b) you're not using port 1521. Otherwise, PMON is hard-coded to register itself with listeners running on port 1521 and using TCP/IP and you don't need to set LOCAL_LISTENER to achieve that.
Server Processes do not listen. Listeners do (there's a clue in their name). Listeners receive a call to connect to an instance, they spawn a server process to handle your call, and then they connect you to that server process (or send a message back to you telling you how to contact the server process). Each server process of course receives communications from its dedicated client on a specific port (usually in the 50000+ range), and that port is chosen randomly by the listener when it's spawning it. It's a bit blurry and vague to call that server process port a port on which server processes "listen", however.
If you're talking dedicated server, each client causes one new server process to be spawned, and there is a one-to-one correspondence between server processes and the port that server process happens to accept client communications on.
If you're going to ask a listener to do listening duty on multiple ports, I'd first question your need to do that and I'd then point out that unless your client tnsnames.ora knows to talk on the second or subsequent port numbers, the listener is never actually going to make use of that second port.
In either case, the port the listener listens on has nothing whatsoever to do with the port your client-to-server-process communication ends up taking place on.

DOES EIGRP USE AS NUMBER/process number as it's PORT NUMBER between the routers in the same AS/group?

in this posthttps://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/9805551/eigrp-port-number there is an answer which seems a little weird, the question asks about the EIGRP port number, and someone answers that "The port number is the EIGRP AS."
I goggled all over the net but could not find any single clue about it!! is that really so, I mean DOES EIGRP USE AS NUMBER AS PORT NUMBER?
I know stuff about routing, EIGRP,RTP and so on, please don't state the obvious and just give some link to some document on Cisco, about this subject.
BTW there's a link under the mentioned post but it doesn't load, I don't know, anyway thank you

Replacing Host Name and Port number throughout Environments

So I am currently working on a project that have several classes using simple JDBC code. I'm switching all of it to use JNDI instead of what is currently being used. I'm using Weblogic and the plan is to have the code run in a cluster.
Here is a code Snippet of some of the code.
Context ctx = null;
Hashtable ht = new Hashtable();
ht.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
ht.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,
"t3://hostname:port");
My problem lies in the the "t3://hostname:port" String. I don't want to hardcode that since I know its bad code practice but my question is what is the best way to replace that with the Host Name and Port number as I move environments. Should I have a Class with a Static Variable and just reference that through the other classes or should I put it in some Property file and read the value from there? Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

would it be something like this?
Properties properties = new Properties();
          try {
     properties.load(new FileInputStream("src/jndi.properties"));
     String url = properties.getProperty("url");
     System.out.println(url );
     } catch (IOException e) {
     }

How to create multiple instance of Jboss with different port number

Hi all
Please tell me steps to create multiple instance of Jboss with diffrent port number.
I tried with this steps, but it does not work for me.
In conf/jboss-service you will find the binding manager.
   <mbean code="org.jboss.services.binding.ServiceBindingManager"
     name="jboss.system:service=ServiceBindingManager">
     <attribute name="ServerName">ports-01</attribute>
     <attribute name="StoreURL">../docs/examples/binding-manager/sample-bindings.xml</attribute>
     <attribute name="StoreFactoryClassName">
       org.jboss.services.binding.XMLServicesStoreFactory
     </attribute>
   </mbean>Please help me on this.
Thanks in advance

It is the name of the website for JBoss. That seems rather obvious to me, and you would have found out for yourself if you had tried it.
Your question is not a Java question and doesn't belong in these forums. It is a JBoss question and you should ask there, or more probably have a look at the JBoss documentation first.

Changing the port number in 10g Discoverer- Middle Tier & Infrasctructural

Earlier I had insalled 10g discoverer which incudes both Middle Tier & Infrastructural Tier with default port numbers.
Now i would like to change the default port numbers to other port numbers. This is because , i am got to do another discoverer installation with default port numers.
In this case i have one question. Is it required to change all the port numbers that exist in the file "portlist.ini" of both Middle Tier & Infrastructural Tier.
What change still i need to do in Oracle 11i application front.
Thanks
Naveen

I did troubleshooting to verify the group, but this just changed the port number back to the default in the listener.ora & tnsnames.ora.
So I did all the steps again to change the port number from the default to another - via lsnrctl status, i see that the new port number is being used, I can also log in to the database via Toad using the new port number, in v$parameter i see that the local_listener is registered on the new port number....only under the Fail Safe manager, the port number (under listener parameter) has not changed....it still shows the default port number. Anyone know how to change this???

The OC4J port number

I have installed Oracle pids on a desktop.
I want to change /Set the Port number.
Where do i set the Port Number.

Hi Deepak,
If you are talking about (stand-alone) OC4J, there are several ports that it uses. You set them in the configuration (XML) files that are located in the "j2ee/home/config" subdirectory.
The nature of your question implies to me that either you haven't read the documentation, or you haven't understood it. I will assume the former. In which case, allow me to suggest the following Web sites (and I recommend that you study the material contained in them -- assuming you want to become proficient with OC4J :-)

Port Number in Oracle9i for running isqlplus

Hi all,
Just yesterday I installed Oracle9i in my PC which OS is WinXP. After installing, I faced a problem whenever I tried to run isqlplus.
Because from Oracle Enterprise Manager console I found Host (pc) & PORT (1521). So, when in IE i gave (http://pc:1521/isqlplus) it couldn't run. But after so many attempt, when I use PORT No. 80 instead of 1521, isqlplus window was open and run successfully.
Now my question is : Why PORT NUMBER is change from Console Manager & WinXP port no.?
Can any one clarify this? Does it differ in various OS?
Sans

Hi user514582,
I don't know why the port has changed but here is the solution to change it back:

LOAD BALANCE (CSS) and Portal Port Number based on Instance Number

Hi,
My doubt is about LOAD BALANCE (CSS) and Portal Port Number based on Instance Number.
I have to install 3 servers machines and 2 servers databases cluster. There will be a HIGH AVAILABILITY environment. There will be a MIGRATION and UPGRADE.
Today there are 2 servers machines in Windows NLB. Today my production Portal is 6 6.20.
Once, I did something for LABORATORY TEST. Migration (6 6.40) and Upgrade (7.0)in two other machines. But they were with Windows NLB. When I did the installation, for each server machine and during the instalation I had to give one Instance Number for each and in result there was a different Port Number for each.
But I accessed both machines throught a virtual url(dns) with a specific port number. And it works!
NOW, with a HARDWARE LOAD BALANCE _ CSS I don't know how to do.
A guy who works with it tell us that couldn't redirect one Port Number for different port numbers. He couldn't configure the CSS like this.
My question is: Is he write? And if he is, there is a way to give the same instance number for my 3 new Portal servers machines? Example: 5(02)00.
Could you understand?
I need help.
Regards,
cheers,
Nivia

Nivia,
I have used F5 for load balancing, I am sure you can do the same with CSS. Yes, you can configure a virtual IP on the load balancer with standard ports (80 or 443) and load balancing the traffic to multiple servers with different ports. You can have different ports for each instance.

About localhost and port number

following jdbc:microsoftLsqlserver:// , why is the host name localhost and the port number is 1433? how to change the port number into others? please help
thanks

"localhost" is usually but not always set up as a hostname for current host, and resolves to the IP address 127.0.0.1
You can connect to any host or port you want (that has a database running on that port), just change the values in the connection URL.
If your question is "how can I get SQL Server to run using a different port", you'll need to consult Microsoft's documentation for that.

Host name, port number and service name

Hi!
I have a question that will sound easy and stupid, but not for me.
during the instal of 9iAS.There is a screen ask to provide the host name,port number and service name.
Did host anme is only the name of my PC?
and what is the port number?(windows XP)
what is the format of the service name (orcl)?
Thanks
Kamal

if you used LDW as the connection/service name when you setup this connection to CMS DB, then no further changes to BOE configurations will be needed.
If you used the service name PO and now it is changes to NEW_PO - then you'll have to update CMS DB connection info in CCM>SIA>Properties>Connection.
See Admin guide for details.
p.s.
BOE services should be stopped while your changes on Oracle side are done and before you change the TNS file and connection info in CCM.

Tomcat Server Port Number: Why do I have to enter the port number?

My ultimate goal is to setup a website that displays data from a database. I will use Java, Apache, Oracle, and whatever else I need to create a website the uses servlets, JavaServer Pages, and JDBC.
I�ve got four Pentium III computers:
1. Windows 2000 Server to be the web server (MyWebServer, IP = 10.10.1.1).
2. Windows 2000 Professional to be the database server (MyDatabaseServer, IP = 10.10.1.2).
3. Windows 2000 Professional that I use to develop and test (MyDeveloperPC, IP = 10.10.1.3).
4. Windows 2000 Professional that I use as a client to connect to the website (MyClientPC, IP = 10.10.1.4).
I installed Java Web Services Developer Pack on MyWebServer. It requires Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE), so I installed that first. The files I downloaded and installed are as follows:
J2SE: j2sdk-1_4_0-rc-win.exe
JWSDP: jwsdp-1_0-ea1-win.exe
After installing these products, I set the environment variables as follows:
JAVA_HOME = c:\j2se
JWSDP_HOME = c:\jwsdp
Path = c:\j2se\bin;c:\jwsdp\bin; [and other previous statements]
On MyWebServer I start Tomcat (from the JWSDP menu option). It starts properly (as far as I can tell).
Then, from MyClientPC I open Internet Explorer and in the address box I type:
http://10.10.1.1
�The page cannot be displayed�.
I then try again and add the port number:
http://10.10.1.1:8080
This displays the page c:\jwsdp\webapps\root\index.html.
Here�s my question: Why do I have to enter the port number to get a page displayed? Do I have to have Apache HTTP Server running on MyWebServer to display pages without entering the port number?
Thanks for your help.

Oh simmy1, so silly....
You have to enter the port number because Tomcat is running on that port (probably 8080). You actually don't NEED apache at all. Most people use it an HTTP listener because historically, servlet engines and application servers had shitty listeners. (WebLogic 5.1 was really bad.) Not sure how they stack up today.
Port 80 is the default port that browsers will look at. (Try it, hit these forums with http://forum.java.sun.com and then hit it with http://forum.java.sun.com:80. See? Same thing.) If you don't want to have to enter a port number, just make sure whatever is running at the front of your network is serving on port 80. It doesn't matter if its apache, tomcat, weblogic, iis or whatever. There is nothing wrong with running Tomcat on port 80, although using a webserver proxy like apache is generally recommended.
And don't listen to simmy1, this is his second bonehead post I've seen today: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=45&thread=231154
