Specified Database not available

Hi All:

"The Specified Database is not available" but the database service has started in fine.After that i am tried to connect sqlplus there also i am getting the above mentioned error..please any one can help to solve this issue ...

In order for you to check environment variables in windows, check the advanced system properties, at the environment variables section. There you will see declared the PATH environment variable.
The default ORACLE_SID can be explicitly set at the DOS prompt or it can be verified from the windows registry. The ORACLE_HOME is declared at the windows registry too. The default Oracle Home is the one that appears first declared in the PATH environment variable.
On the other hand, do you have further log files, such as the alert.log where more detailed error messages are recorded

Specified database not found

Hi!
Well, one old subject, I recall (had this written here long time ago) -- ZCM 10.3.4, trying to backup db from command-line, but ...
SQL Anywhere Backup Utility Version 10.0.1.3960
Specified database not found
DB is there and accessible and running and ZCC is ok and ZCM does work and db is via Sybase Central accessible etc. and probably when I restart ZCM services on server it will be backed up also with utility, but ... any ideas how to accomplish this wo services restart. Can't dbping server. Server name is also written ok in command etc.
More thanks, Alar.

J2EE database not available via test

Hi Experts,
I have installed NW 7.0 portal Ehp2 system on Solaris cluster with logical name . Now when I try to start SAP with the startsap script . it is not starting the database (Oracle) . It just checks whether DB is running and giving message J2EE database not available via test , and asking to check JdbCon.log .

BUG: JDev 10.1.3 ADF BC Synchronize With Database not available

I am using the "Business Components from Tables" wizard to create my ADF model.
If I specify a package that is 3 nodes deep (a.b.model) then JDev creates a structure that looks like this...
Applications
--MyApplication
----Model
------Application Sources
--------a.b.model
If I specify a package that is 4 nodes deep (a.b.c.model) then JDev creates an extra level in the Navigator like this....
Applications
--MyApplication
----Model
------Application Sources
--------a.b.c
----------model
The side effect of this extra level is that the "Synchronize With Database" option is no longer available when bringing up the context menu for either the "a.b.c" node or the "model" node.
Bob

The problem appears to not be with the Wizard.
Instead, the problem is tied to the Navigator Flat Level control.
If I increase the flat level to a point where the entire package appears in a single Navigator node, then the "Synchronize with Database" context menu item is available.
If the flat level is decreased to a point that the package splits into multiple Navigator nodes then the context meny item is no longer available.

Database not available Backupserver instance not available

Hi all
I'm new to SAP Sybase ASE i installed a ECC6 with SYBASE database15 while starting the server the DB is not going to up and i could not find any proper solution and i'm attaching the logs please help to clear the issue.
Regards,
Chidananda.

Hi Chidananda,
According to your attaching files, ASE instance and backup server instance were running on the machine....
Why don't you check first the ASE process using showserver command as below with sapadmin user or sybase admin user.
#showserver
if dataserver(ASE) and backup server are running on the machine you can see the process as a result of showserver command.
1.if there is a dataserver process you can check the connection to the DB instance with R3trans as below.
#R3trans -d
This is R3trans version 6.24 (release 742 - 11.08.14 - 17:21:00).
unicode enabled version
R3trans finished (0000).
2.if there is no dataserver process, restart the SAP instance or DB instance using stopsap/startsap
#startsap or startsap db
Checking syb Database
Database is running

Can't update software through app store, since Feb. Says no updates available. Error says server with specified hostname not available.

Can't update any software or apps through appstore. Updated Itunes after several months by download, install. Using my own Macbook on my network, never had this problem. Re-installed Mountain Lion. Removed file softwareupdate.plist from Library preferences. Repaired disks and permissions. Any ideas? seems like a small issue, but this is pretty serious going forward.

Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Keep in mind that no one here represents Apple or can help with customer-service issues.
Step 1
A purchased app can only be updated by signing in to the App Store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to buy it. There's no way around that limitation, which also applies to free apps. If you can't sign in with the buyer's ID, delete the app and reinstall it. You'll have to pay for it again, if applicable.
Step 2
From the App Store menu bar, select
Store ▹ View My Account
Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.

Analyzer calculation of sum without not available data fields

Hi, I use Hyperion Analyzer 6.1.1.00206. I would like to calculate sum of some members. So I did the following Analysis Tools | Calculations and selected the sum of desired members. But if data field does not have a value (no data = n/a) then sum of members is also n/a (no data)! Is there a way to specify the "not available" is treated as 0? Thanks, Grofaty 

Yes, Click on File, then Preferences then DEFAULT FORMATTING TAB and at the bottom it gives you the option of selecting "REPLACE MISSING DATA WITH" Zero or text. I believe yours is set on text "n/a". Just select "zero" button and click ok. This should solve the problem. Best of luck Benjamin M Hoffmeyer Marketing Analyst SSP CIRCLE K

And I can not find any control files on my PC.
Can I create one?

Yes. This is correct. There is no control file. In fact, there is nothing in C:\OracleXE\oradata\XE. It appears that the install did not create a database, so I figured I'd try to create one myself
but did not haev any success. Should the install have created a database? I did install the same product on a laptop and it seemed to work fine. The problem I ran into was that it does not have
enough memory to be useful, only 512 Meg. So I decided to install it on my desktop PC with 3 Gig. This is where I am having the problem. I tried a re-install but still no database was created.

Shared Services database content not found in the specified database."

Trying to configure Version 11 and get the error: "Shared Services database content not found in the specified database". Relevant details on my issue as below:
- I'm running Windows 7 and SQL Server 2008 on my local machine.
- I did have a previous installation of Hyperion 9 on my machine which I uninstalled before installing 11. However, after uninstalling, I could still see the Hyperion EPM (empty folders) in my "All Programs", which I manually deleted.
- Now I've installed Essbase 11, and for now am trying to configure Hyperion Foundation only (Common Settings and Configure Database is greyed out, I checked deploy to applicaiton server. I left the calculation manager and workspace blank).
- The next window is the "Configure Shared Services and Database Registry" option. I chose "Perform 1st time Configuration of Shared Services Database". When I enter the relevant details, I got the error mentioned above. My error log file entries are as below:

I believe version 11 supports Windows 7, but correct me if I'm wrong. What's going on here? Any suggestions on what I should try ?

Actually when I installed version 9, I never got around to configuring shared services and so never had a shared services database in SQL Server to begin with.
One question about the registry entry you told me to delete: The (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hyperion Solutions) which currently exists would be the entry for version 11 which I have installed right? It's the only entry for Hyperion Solutions in the registry.
After uninstalling versino 9, C:/hyperion still existed on my machine (though it didnt have all the subfolders which it did prior to uninstalling), so I manually deleted it before installing verison 11.
I wouldn't mind installing it on a compatible version of windows, but the thing is that at this point this is all that is available to me.
and I don't have any other oracle products.
thanks....

Hi,
I think it is essential to set the official ip and the correct hostname in the /etc/hosts file.
Per default there is the loopback IP bound to the hostname and localhost, you should change this to the desired IP.
it should be something like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
192.168.1.1 yourhost.yourdomain yourhost
Otherwise you will face some other nasty side-effects, with nfs for example.
Hope that helps
Michael

ORA-01034: ORACLE not available error while creating ASM or database

Hi all,
I am using oracle database 10gR2 on windows 2000 pro system.
I have Installed oracle software and there was no issue with that but now I am facing ORA-01034: ORACLE not available error while trying to create asm instance or even while creating database through dbca.
I have tried creating the asm instance manually and it was succeeded. Also database creation was successful through manual steps.
Any idea guys?? How to resolve this issue??

Hi FK,
On Windows, it can sometimes mean that the services are not running. I have a check here:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_check_verify_windows_services.htm
Have you tried using oradim?
http://www.dba-oracle.com/tips_oradim_utility.htm
The oradim utility provides more than just the ability to start and stop Windows databases. Windows oradim can create and edit databases. It also allows DBAs to configure script-based installation mechanisms.
The oradim utility is used on the Windows platform to perform these tasks.
C:\oracle9i\bin\oradim -startup -sid ORCL92 –usrpwd manager
-starttype SRVC,INST -pfile C:\oracle9i\admin\ORCL92\pfile\init.ora
• startup – Indicates that the specified instance should be started.
• sid – The SID of the database to start.
• usrpwd – The password for the database user.
• starttype – Specifies whether to start the instance, the service, or both
Hope this helps. . .
