RDA ---Can not connect to the database

Folks,
I am trying to generate an RDA output for ORACLE SUPPORT
Database:10.2.0.4
Server: Win 32bit SP1
STEP 1: ran rda.cmd -S to collect config info
STEP2: run rda.cmd to generate output
at this time it asks me the password of the system username as sysdba and errors out saying
the following
Processing Initialization module ...
Enter the password for 'SYSTEM@abc as SYSDBA':
Please re-enter it to confirm:
The database to be analyzed (abc) does not appear to be accessible.
Please do one of the following:
- If the database is not started, start it in another session, then press
'Enter' to continue this script after the database has been started;
- Interrupt this script, start the database or solve the connection
problem, and next re-run rda; or
- Hit 'Enter' to continue this script without gathering information from
the database.
If you choose to continue without database connection, some information will
be missing and Oracle Support may request that rda be re-run.
Press 'Enter' to Continue
RDA-00501: Database access disabled due to a connection problem
Has anyone encountered this issue

Well, I'm not sure if Oracle can't even figure it out. I found this in a connection troubleshooting guide specific to windows....maybe give these a try just to verify again.
Troubleshooting Steps Common to Unix and Windows
Connection Issues
If RDA is unable to connect to the database, and the user is declared as a SYSDBA user when running the setup, ensure that a connection is possible with as the user using AS SYSDBA. For example, if SYSTEM is specified as the username, make sure that you can connect using the following command in sqlplus:
connect system AS SYSDBA
If you cannot connect, run the setup again and answer N to that question, or edit the setup file (setup.cfg) and set SYSDBA_USER=0. You can also use the 'TSTdb' test module to obtain more elements on the connection problem. This test can be performed using the following command(s):
For Windows run:
rda.cmd -T TSTdb or rda.pl -T TSTdb
For Unix run:
rda.sh -T TSTdb or rda.pl -T TSTdb
If you use TWO_TASK enviroment variable is used to connect to the database, then unset TWO_TASK and run RDA on the server local to the database. This is necessary because RDA depends on a local connection to the database, and automatically unsets TWO_TASK before performing any function.

  • Could not connect to the database

    I have installed Oracle 11.5.10.2 and ADI 7.1.3.10.5
    I can logon to oracle 11i but I cannot logon to ADI using the same username and password of oracle 11i.
    In the ADI define databases form I have the following:
    GWYUID: applsyspub/pub
    FNDNAM: apps
    NCA Connection: (blank)
    Server ID: (blank)
    I receive the following message:
    ''Could not connect to the database. Invalid Username or Password''
    I can use tnsping and tnsping80 successfully from the client.
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thank you.

    Starting from 11.5.10 and above, you have to provide the 'Server ID'. Change the current value of 'Server ID' to match APPL_SERVER_ID value found in your dbc file.
    Find the dbc file under:
    $FND_TOP/secure directory
    The Server ID field is one of the parameters used in setting up the database definition in ADI.

  • Can't connect to the database after 1-2 day, Named Pipes Provider, error: 40,Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 121

    HI
    I have a problem. I can't connect to the database. It said : 
    An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.  When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider,
    error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 121)
    When I restart the server, I can connect normally. But after 1-2 days, it can't be connected. 
    How can I fix this?

    Hi Lee,
    Please refer to the following article to configure SQL Server 2005 to allow remote connections:

  • 10GR2: API5022:can not connect to the specified repository.

    Hi
    Today I have started getting the following message when try to connect to the Design Center in 10GR2:
    'API5022:can not connect to the specified repository. Verify connection information'
    Nothing has changed in the repository for several days, though we were able to login to the Design Center yesterday without any issue. This is happening for all users, so is not a client problem.
    Also, we can login to the repository via repository browser, administrator and various query tools. Therefore, the connection details are ok.
    Has anyone else encountered this in 10.2? If so, any suggestions would be very much appreciated...
    Thanks

    The problem might be caused by changing the LOCALE setting to a value that is not recognized.
    The selection in the preferences does not allow to reset to an empty value, nor does OWB allow to cancel the selection.
    This setting is stored locally outside any database at the following location:
    C:\oracle\OWB102\owb\bin\admin\Preference.properties.
    where the first part is the OWB homedir
    After I changed the content into the following, I was able to start OWB and connect to the repository again without any errors:
    #Locally Cached Preferences - DO NOT MODIFY
    #Wed Apr 25 21:14:29 CEST 2007
    LOCALE=en_US
    Even though it says not to modify, remember that the only alternative would be re-installing OWB.
    Hope this works for anyone having this problem.
    Regards,
    Patrick.

    I've been having this problem for weeks and have found no solution to it. There are lots of other people with this issue too if you look back on the boards. I even e-mailed AND called Apple and have had no luck. I tried all the suggestions they gave me and all the ones I found on here- nothing worked. I even uninstalled and re-installed iTunes (boy was that a pain!) and no difference.
    The weird part is that I have an old laptop that works and if I buy music with the laptop I can download it with my regular computer buy buying does not work on my regular computer. That tells me it's not a connection issue. I can't get to my account either.
    I can't figure out why an issue that has kept so many people from purchasing a product has been ignored!

  • Can not connect to the internet. This is a new problem since I have been using firefox for years.

    I can not connect to the internet. I called mediacom due to the problem and they connected me to internet explorer. They indicated I should contact you for help in connecting to the internet. It appears firefox has made some kind of change since last night since I was using firefox for my internet connection last night. Something has changed. Your help will be appreciated.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyhole_Markup_Language
    The only way that file opens thru IE8 for me ''(but not actually in IE8)'' is by using the Zip Utility (then IE closes) that is in WinXP and then opening the two image files in the Windows Fax and Picture Viewer.
    I think Firefox is trying to display that file because the MIME-type is for '''''text/plain''''' instead of the appropriate MIME-type of '''application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml''' or '''application/vnd.google-earth.kmz'''
    That is something that needs to be configured in the server that is hosting that file type. Sorry, I don't know how that can be fixed. The one support person here that might know lives in Europe ''(I believe)'', so you might need to wait for an answer.

  • URGENT!!!!!!!! Tomcat 5.0 does not connect to the database !!!!!!

    We had an already existing system on tomcat 4.1.18. Since migrating to Tomcat 5.0, we are facing lots of problem while trying to connect to the database. The database in SQL Server 2000.
    The first time i try to connect (after restarting tomcat service) the system is able to connect to the database but after sometime it again stops connecting.
    The beans on our system are able to connect to the database without any problem but when we try using the same via http, it doesnt connect. The classpath is set properly. Also the database drivers are also the latest ones and in the proper place. We have placed them in the common/lib folder. We have checked that normal jsp pages which are not connecting to the database are working fine.
    Please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
    Thanks in advance

    well.....Tomcat is not a database connecting engines.....U would need to check your db connection codes to check if you have missed anything.....so the first question will be
    1. How do u connect to the DB
    2. Which type of JDBC drivers are u using.
    Finaly, tomcat is not at fault...its the fault of you configuration

    IP routing doesn't work the way many folks might initially think it does; functional IP routing requires manual configuration and the establishment of static routes and default routes specific to the local network configurations, and it's very easy to get it wrong, or to get the default route swapped. Multiple NIC boxes don't magically work, either. (Been there, done that, wondered what happened to my network when the paths got reordered or my route settings were messed up, etc.)
    Routing configuration errors can be quite subtle, too. (Again, voice of experience. Ever had a thousand-seat office LAN accidentally routing through your desktop? As the, um, unnamed guilty party discovered, getting into that configuration was subtle. Seeing the performance crater on the fellow's box and on the LAN was obvious.)
    Knowing how IP routing works is a prerequisite to getting this configuration to work; there's manual configuration required. Clearly something has gone weird here.
    What to do? Read up on IP routing. I'll again suggest the threads and the manual mentioned earlier.
    And in general, I prefer to avoid using my comparatively expensive Mac boxes as sub-optimal IP routers or as firewall boxes. General-purpose operating systems and generic x86 boxes are going to be inherently poor IP routers. Dedicated routers (or embedded or surplus x86 boxes with routing software loaded) offload the Mac boxes here, and are also typically easier to configure manage. And "real" IP routers can have hardware specific to efficiently routing packets. Use of an outboard firewall or firewall-router box also greatly simplifies gateway routing, too; it's a configuration that many folks and many businesses tend to use.

    I'm from the USA but am on vacation in Brazil; I have a great WiFi connection but can not connect to the iTunes Store. Is this because I am out of the Country?

    Thank you very much for your insight; I guess I had assummed that iPads/iPhones/iPods were here in Brazil and further assumed that the iTunes store would also be available.
