Setting ORACLE_SID and connecting without @SID

I am trying to install ArcSDE on the same server I have my 11g RDBMS. The SDE service fails because of a ORA-12560 error. But, that is not my question just the facts which build up to my question. The server is Windows 2003 64bit. The database is 11g.
In each users environment values I have set ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID yet I still have to put @SID in my sqlplus connections like (sqlplus system/manager@ORCL). If I dont put it in I get ORA-12560 errors.
I think that is why the SDE service wont start. I just dont know why the ORACLE_SID Env Variable isnt being read.

@SID means & requires SQL*Net to connect into the DB.
Without @SID ideally the connection is made using BEQUEATH protocol
post results from the 2 following command using CUT & PASTE
lsnrctl status
lsnrctl service
12560, 00000, "TNS:protocol adapter error"

  • Can I set up and register without using VoiceOver?

    I have a three yr old iMac which just had it's defective hard drive replaced. I am unable to get past the welcome screen to set up using VoiceOver! How do I navigate to the continue arrow once I've highlighted my country? I don't have an end key on my keyboard

  • Upon opening Firefox, all tabs start connecting without any websites, the proccessing grey circle on each tab periodically turns green and back to grey.

    When I start firefox the normal page doesn't open and instead the tabs start connecting and connecting without any website and the grey circle that each tab has turns green and then grey and the process repeats itself. And If I try to type an address I can't because upon pressing 'w', it tries to connect to what I don't know.

    hello, it sounds like a theme or extension might be interfering here. please try launching firefox in safe mode once and see if the issue is occurring there too. in case it's working correctly, please go to firefox > addons > extensions and disable/remove any extension that look suspicious/you didn't install intentionally or that might interfere with the tab loading behaviour.

  • How can I delete my old Laptop from my iPhone (iTunes Wifi Sync) and connect it to my new Laptop

    HI;
    I have an iPhone 4S Factory Unlocked, up to date (iOS 6.0.1). I connect it to my Laptop named "The Love" via USB and opend iTunes and checked Sync over Wifi to enable this feature. Everything works great.
    After a couple months I sold my Laptop and bought a new Laptop named "Raid", I did the smae steeps, connect it to my new Laptop via USB and opend iTunes and I checked Syn over Wifi to enable this feature and hit Apply, also I did the sync via USB cable and it works fine.
    Now I want to sync via wifi, so I went to General --> iTunes Wi-Fi Sync --> here my iPhone still showing "Sync will resume when "The Love-PC" is available", Okay I sold it!! What I will do! I stock! does this mean I will need to find my old Laptop and buy it back????!!!!
    I tried to do those steeps over and over, same result, my iPhone stock with the my old Laptop, It seems my iPhone liked my "The Love" Laptop
    My question is:
    How do I delete this setting? and connect it to my new Laptop?
    All the best;

    Well " even if I plugged it via usb" I meant that I did all the spteps, connect my iPhone via USB, Open iTunes, Check on Sync this device via WiFi, click on Sync, Unplug the iPhone.
    Again I DO NOT HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE USB OR SYNC MY IPHONE THROUGH ITUNES VIA USB
    I HAVE AN ISSUE TO SYNC MY IPHONE VIA WIFI (WIRELESSLY), THAT IS MEAN SYNC MY IPHONE WITH ITUNES WITHOUT USING USB CABLE.

  • I can't set up gmail in my iPad 2. Keep on saying ' can't connect with SSL and ask me whether to connect without using SSL, then I press 'yes' and it said again IMAP is not working and tell me to see network connection and incoming mail server.

Keep on saying ' can't connect with SSL and ask me whether to connect without using SSL, then I press 'yes' and it said again IMAP is not working and tell me to see network connection and incoming mail server. No idea how to do anymore. Already tried to figure out. But not work. Can anyone pls help me?

    Nope, doesn't pass verification. I get the spinner for a minute or so, then the alert about setting it up without SSL. Are you suggesting I disable Fetch and Push BEFORE I enter the account details? Because I never get past the account details screen, unless I choose "Set up without SSL" after the warning.

  • Conected idle instance if i set oracle_sid=orcl which is not actual my sid

    Hello Team,
    My original ORACLE_SID=PROD
    ENV:- UNIX sOLARIS
    NOW IF I SET oracle_sid=orcl (which is wrong) and connect to sqlplus...--Connected to idle instnace--agreed!!
    since sid is different so how it did connected to sqlplus (i mean having wrong sid means wrong oracle_home/no oracle_home, so how did sqlplus got launched).
    Any other OS level file is accessed to get connected to sqlplus??

    When you set ORACLE_SID , oracle will start looking for spfile for this instance to read the instance parameter that enable to start database , if nothing found Error will appear .I dont't think this is correct: this what SQL*Plus STARTUP statement will do but if you don't use STARTUP statement and just want to connect to a local instance defined by ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME SQL*Plus is not going to read SPFILE/FILE because it does not need to do it.
    ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME are used by SQL*Plus to compute a shared memory key that is used to access database instance SGA: that is all what SQL*Plus needs to know in order to access a local instance (i.e. without Oracle Net).

  • How to disconnect internet connection in Time Capsule and reconnect without restarting the whole device?

    Hi, I would be very grateful if someone could tell me how to disconnect internet connection in Time Capsule and reconnect without restarting the whole device?
    The thing is that as I have a dynamic IP address, everytime I restart the internet connection my IP address changes. I sometimes need it to change, so I need to restart the connection. I don't know another way to restart the connection than restarting the whole Time Capsule.
    Thanks!!
    PD: the computer I use is Windows based, using the Airport Utility for Windows, but I also have a MacBook Pro I could use and an iPhone too.

    The utility in windows is very like Mac so the screenshots are from Mac as I don't have windows available now.
    How this works depends on the setup of the TC.. which you did not tell us.. you cannot change anything if you do not have the TC as the main router in the network.
    So on the internet tab you need to share a public IP address.
    On the next tab where you set IP address.
    Click the renew IP address.
    It might work.. and it might not.. the problem is you are not disconnecting the network.. sometimes the hard disconnection is required before the address will renew..
    What about unplugging the WAN port.. then click renew the IP which will fail.. then plug the wan back in again.
    In the end it is easier and faster to power cycle the TC.

  • I am trying to set up my new iPad 2 and to begin I installed iTunes on my laptop and connected the iPad to the USB port. Neither Windows or iTunes recognizes the device. I did everything this site told me to try and still no luck. Help!

    I am trying to set up my new iPad 2 and to begin I installed iTunes on my laptop and connected the iPad to the USB port. Neither Windows or iTunes recognizes the device. I did everything this site told me to try and still no luck. Help!

    You will not be able to see what version you are running until the iPad is activated. It will be in Settings>General>About >Version when you can get to the settings app.
    The slider bar that you are describing sounds like the screen lock side switch and that has no bearing on setting up the iPad or connecting to WiFi.
    Why don't you try rebooting your router? Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again and see if the iPad will recognize and join the network.

  • How to set up internet connection between MacBook Pro and an old eMac?

    I got an old eMac without wifi and a MacBook Pro. I'd like to share the network connection via ethernet cable to my eMac, but I can't get it work.
    I'd like to use it with screenrecycler and it needs a network connection.
    How to do it? How to set up the connection between the client and the host? Could somebedy give me a step by step guide?
    Thank you very much

    Hello,
    First, are you using Wifi for Internet on the MBP?
    System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
    The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list, Wifi on the MBP.
    In Shating on both, enable File Sharing, Screen Sharing, & Web Sharing on both.
    Then with the Ethernet cable between the two, find the IPs of both, or use Finder>Go>Connect to Server>Browse... see what shows up.

  • Scheduling start up, shut down and internet connection without override

    System:
    I have a Mac on 10.5.8 and I have just purchased a new desktop Mac, and I need to be able to apply the solution to this question on both of those computers. I'll also be adding an iphone and ipad in the next couple of weeks.
    Question:
    I need to break a habit and to do it I need some external tools that I can't work around. I want to be able to schedule my computer to start up at noon and close at 10pm, without me being able to click a button or three to override it. I would want to set it for a week at a time and be able to renew at the end of each week.
    Similarly, within the time the computer is on I want to schedule when I have internet connection. For example, Tuesday to Sunday from 12.30-2.00pm, 4.00-5.30pm and 7.00-9.00pm. On Mondays I would want additional access from 5am to noon (which I've just realised would mean that the start up time would need an exception for Mondays as well).
    I can set someone up to do this for me remotely, presumably using Parental Controls (though I'm not sure they work with that kind of specificity) but I can see a hitch in that plan in that I would still want to be able to download software and apps (which require the computer's password which I presume the offsite person would use to set up and then lock the controls.
    I've been using the app Self-Control for the past couple of days and it works....but. I love that I cannot override it, that's brilliant. However, it is still giving me access to some of the sites I've blocked. For example, on tumblr, my blog and dashboard are invisible to me, but I can see the blogs of others if I type in their blog address; I can understand that because it adds a variation to the address, but it seems to be random and constantly changing who and what I can see. Also, it is making a massive number of other sites not work properly (reverting to very old school black and blue Times Roman html), images aren't working and it's blocking sites I've never heard of, let alone put on my blacklist. Sometimes it will let me onto a site then kick me off a few seconds later or if I click onto another page. It is blocking a site I removed from the blacklist. I can't access Google Maps either. So, it has limitations.
    My prime concern is limiting the times (not just the duration of access but the times of day I have access) the computer is on and that I have internet connection.
    I hope someone similarly in need of breaking their computer/internet habit can offer a solution or suite of solutions.
    Many thanks

  • SSO- Connection failed. Make sure user mapping is set correctly and all....

    Hi All...
    I configured SSO Between EP6.0 and BW 3.5...By following this tutorial:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/84/30984076b84063e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
    every thing is working fine...  when i trying to check the preview for an iveiw (it is invoking BEx in the BW
    System) it is again asking BW System username & Password. I already done user mapping between the
    portal user with the BW user.
    After i reviewd my entire work i got one problem at:
    System Administration --> System configuration --> Portal content --> opened my created system object ->
    Selected Connection Tests --> Select Connection test for Connectors --> Click on Test Button --> Here i
    got the following error :  Retrieval of default alias successful
                                       Connection failed. Make sure user mapping is set correctly and all connection parameters are correct.
    I checked the usermapping area and connector Parameters those all are correct according to the document.
    I was stuck at this place from 4 days please advice me what are the causes for this error
    Best Regards
    Abhi...

    Have you tested the SSO setting by running the program "RSPOR_SETUP"?
    Yes Rajesh I tested by running the program RSPOR_SETUP in BW System.
    It is saying connection is success to communicate with RFC Server.
    The problem is comming from the portal side when i test connector properties for System object.
    But it is saying WEB AS Connection properties are success for System object.
    The exact Error Message is :
    Connection failed. Make sure user mapping is set correctly and all connection properties are correct.

  • 3rd node is taking 15% of CPU without any load and connection on the server

    Hi,
    I am struggling to resolve the 3rd node is taking 15% of CPU without any load and connection on the server. but not find clues for this. Please give me some inputs.
    The issue is:
    We have 8 databases on our 3node RAC (11.2.0.1). One of the performance team guy reported that 3rd node is taking 15%cpu utilization when there is no load and connection to the database and at that time the other 2 node are taking only 1%cpu. even i have checked it by using top command and it is almost given same results.
    To come out of this issue, i have two solution in my mind, but i am not sure whether this approach is good or bad. the plans are
    (1). shutdown the databases and check the cpu usage. --to findout is there any thing wrong with Kernel parameters or at system level.
    (2). Shutdown the databases and CRS on the 3rd node and reboot the server.
    If above process is correct then i need to take permission from my manager.
    I am total stuck, what i need to do. Is there any other approach to resolve this issue. Please help me, this is very critical issue for me.
    Also i have checked from GV$SESSION for the active session, but i didn't find any connection apart from oracle processes.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you Guzma for your suggestion,
    When i checked the gv$session for the active sessions from only 2databases, Do i need to check in all the databases and make sure there are no active session and try for the 1st solution.
    -more over i have observed that one of the oracle process is taking 99% of the 15%cpu when i checked from top command. i have tried to find out the what the session is from below, but it given no results from the 2of the DB's.

  • Trying to connect apple tv brand new and the screen says 'activating' setting date and time indefinately

    just trying to connect to apple tv for the first time and the screen just stays at 'activating' setting time and date and wont let me sign in to itunes sharing until the date and time thing is fulfilled.  any thoughts on troubleshooting this issue?  thanks

    Hi I had same problems and couldn't understand most of the solutions on offer as I'm a bit of a Luddite. The problem seems to be getting ATV to register your network time and date details following the upgrade of software. I use a wireless connection at home and my firewall was blocking the ATV from obtaining this information. Instead of changing router settings, firmware etc (which is beyond me) I solved it this way:
    1. Rather than use my existing wireless connection I connected the ATV to my iPhone personal hotspot (iPhone has 3G connection). It may be another network could also be effective.
    2. ATV connected via the iPhone no problem apparently got the network time and date settings ok.
    3. The previous ATV functionality was restored.
    3. I then disconnected from my iPhone hotspot and re-connected to my main wireless connection. All worked fine.
    It seems what you need to do is side-step the router firewall problem. Hope it works for others.
