SQL Developer cannot import connections from a tnsnames.ora

Just try sql develorper today, I saw it can import connections from a XML file or a .properties file? But has no an option to import from a tnsnames.ora ?
I think this should be a basic function. Did I miss it?

You didn't answer the questions:
Would the connection name simply mirror the tns entry? I'm not sure that'd be correct since I frequently have multiple connections defined to 1 DB ( tns entry ) If you program this "connection collection" to be performed at first startup (asking the user if he wants to), before having added any connection, you have a 1:1 relation; problem solved.
If you want it enabled even after adding connections, you can add arbitrary suffixes (_1, _2 and so on).
What username would be defaulted?This is even easier: none.
That's the least the end-user can add. He can even leave it blank if he really wants to be prompted on connecting.

SQL developer cannot see connection info from tnsnames.ora file

Greetings All,
I have been using sql developer for a while. Currently on 3.0.04.34.
I have 16 database connections.
Everything was working fine until yesterday.
Today when I tried to connect to a database from the list of connections I am getting following error:
Invalid connection information specified. Verify url format for specified driver.
When I pull up the property for this connection -connection type is still TNS, Netwrok Alias is now greyed out and what was in Netwrok Alias has shifted to Connect Identifier.
When I try to create a new connection I do not see entry from tnsnames.ora file for the databse I am trying to connect to in the Network Alias drop down list.
I can connect to this database from sqlplus.
Has anyone seen this behavior? Does any one know the fix for this?
Thanks.

Hi,
Maybe your preference settings got corrupted, or the Tnsnames.ora file got moved to somewhere SQL Developer can't find it.
Are you using either:
1. Tools|Preferences|Database|Advanced|Tnsnames Directory, or a
2. TNS_ADMIN environment variable
to point to your Tnsnames? Having one of those should enable the Network Alias drop-down list to get populated. Otherwise, if the values moved to Connection Identifier are correct, then you won't be to connect in that mode without also having an Oracle client installed with an 11.1 JDBC thick driver (ocijdbc11.dll).
If there is no issue with the Tnsnames. ora location, it might be a good idea to use Export Connections to make a backup of your connections. Then you can try deleting the connections from SQL Developer and re-importing them. Even if that doesn't fix the problem, you should be no worse off.

SQL Developer-Cannot Connect

Hi, I have the same problem as the person who posted the question
The history is i already have oracle 10g express edition installed on my system but with it I cannot create tables or execute DML or DDL commands so I downloaded SQL developer .
When it came to the connection I wanted to fill in the Hostname , Port and SID in that order it gave me that same error "The network adapter could not establish connection ", and to fill in those spaces I used the link I saw when opening the Human Resources schema in the express edition(The schema came in the express edition and I used it to learn the SELECT statement). so i tried to use that address and it came in this format :- http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4500:1000:3171371893604961
And since SQL told me to fill those parameters as Hostname:Port:SID I felt the use of the last 3 digits i.e 4500:1000:3171371893604961 would have worked but that is what is giving me the error.
I would appreciate the help. Thank you

SQL Developer and TOAD connection.

Hi,
I am able to see the DDL script for tables using TOAD, but NOT using SQL Developer (2.1.1). Same user, pass, and tnsname file.
They use same tnsname.ora file on my computer. I set basic and TNS connection for SQL Developer.
The connection is from my computer to the server (Oracle 11.1.0.7 EE).
ORA-31603: object "ALARM_DEFINITION" of type TABLE not found in schema "AIRCOM"
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 105
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 3241
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 4812
ORA-06512: at line 1
It is same with packages. I cannot see package body.
What is the different and which additional privileges I need to see the DDL script?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Konstantin

I don't think it's a connection issue. There seem to be differences in how Oracle and Toad access system views to show objects. If you search the boards you see it has effected a couple of people. Sometimes they post what permissions they changed to get things to work for them.
ie... Re: Issue with viewing Package Body in SQL Developer 2.1 RC1
I don't think I've seen any official documentation to indicate what privileges need to be granted in order to see them thought. And I think there is a bug that prevents generating DDL for tables owned by other users. I don't know if that extends to generating stored procedure code.

Problems importing connections from a SAN directory

Is anybody having a problem importing connections from a directory that's on a SAN?
My network is setup so that the Application Data directory is out on a SAN and when SQL Developer opens up the file dialog, current directory is listed as C:\ and entry in the file name field is file://<server>/<path to my stuff>/Application Data/SQL Developer/. This looks fine but when I click on the "Open" button to get the directory listing, an error dialog pops up with the following message:
The directory C:\file:\<server>\<path to my stuff>\Application Data\SQL Developer is not accessible. Please select a different directory.
When I change the current directory to the drive that maps the SAN location, I get the same message only with C: replaced with another drive letter.
If I had to guess, the dialog is not processing the file:// protocol indicator properly before it attempts to get the directory listing. Does anyone have a work around?

Other users also had problems with network shares, so you're right that might very well be the cause of your problems.
As workaround, try mapping the settings folder to a local drive. Add this to \sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf:
AddVMOption -Dide.user.dir=C:\sqldeveloperHope that helps,
K.

Java.sql.SQLException: Cannot obtain connection after 3600 seconds. , Exception = Access not allowed

Using Weblogic Platform 7.0 (installed from platform700_win32.exe),
Running a BPM Doamin(WLIDomain with BPM only).
When I try to access my entity bean(CMP), the following exception is getting thrown.
I have seen a similar post in here, but the answer to that post, which says to
provide ACL. does not apply quite well my scenario.
To do this, I right clicked on the connection pool and selected define Ploicy..
It shows two options
RealmAdapterAuthorizer and DefaultAuthorizer; On DefaultAuthroizer i specified
role accessing the resource would be "everyone". - restarted the server - but
still the same error.
Please suggest a solution if any. Do i have to get some service pack for this?
TIA
Ranjith.

We have never seen a case yet where this was not a permissions problem.
Do you have a fileRealm.properties file as part of your configuration?

SQL Developer 1.5 Connection Problems

Unable to connect to my localhost installation of Oracle 11G in Windows XP environment
SQLPLUS connections look just fine.
I went out to the windows registry to verify the Oracle SID.
The environment ORADLE_SID is set to 'orcl'
I have tried logging in as HR and as SYS. Both work in SQLPLUS. Neither work in Sql Developer.
The connection settings I am using are as follows:
User Name: HR
Password: HR
Oracle Tab Settings:
Role: default
Connection type: basic
OS Authentication: unchecked
Proxy Connection: unchecked
Hostname: localhost
Port: 1521
SID: orcl
Really appreciate your assistance.
Thanks,
Kent

Kent,
Does Oracle monitor this? Yup - I am PM for SQL Developer and various team members, like Turloch, also monitor the forum.
We use thin or thick JDBC drivers to connect to the Oracle Database from SQL Developer, Turloch was trying alternatives. You should be able to connect using the thin JDBC driver, not using tns. (Basic Connection)
When you try the Basic connection, please can you ensure that the Preference (Tools -> Preferences -> Database- Advanced Parameters) "use OCI/Thick driver" is not selected.
Instead of localhost, can you insert the IP address of your machine?
I have one other question - when you installed SQl Developer 1.5, did you install it into a new empty directory?
Finally, if you have a support contract for the Database, you can contact Metalink and open a SR. There you should be able to track your progress and they can help you get connected.

I cannot import fotos from my PC to IPAD, help, pls,

i cannot import fotos from my PC to IPAD, help, pls,

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

To resolve this, you need to reconfigure the "Oracle Application Testing Suite Helper Service" (OATSHelperSvr) to start as a user who has privledges to run open script tests rather than the default SYSTEM user.
Reconfiguring the OATSHelperSvr Service:
1. Open the services panel (Start > Run > services.msc)
2. Find the Oracle Application Testing Suite Helper Service
3. Right Click > Properties then select the Log On Tab
4. Specify an interactive user that has rights to run OpenScript (test by logging in as that user and running tests):
5. Click OK
6. Restart the service after dialogs are closed by Right Click > Restart
7. You should now repeat this process for the "Oracle Application Testing Suite Agent Service" (eLoadAgentMon) Service (Two services in
total)
You should now retry running the test in Oracle Test Manager

Newbie blues: Oracle Sql Developer showing different data from Sqlplus.

Newbie blues: Oracle Sql Developer showing different data from Sqlplus.
First of all; it would be difficult to know less about Oracle than myself.
I just installed a recent copy of the server and am running SQl Developer 3.2.20.10.
I made a small test table , borrowed some pl sql code to add rows, then wrote code to delete some rows. Lots of fun.
In SQL Developer “Select * from t1;” now shows 7 records, which seems right.
I wanted other views of the data and so logged in from the command line using SQLPlus.
The same code here shows the table prior to the delete, with 600 plus rows. Needless to say I’ve logged out and back in again, with no changes.
No fun ! What am I not understanding here ?

did you ever actually issue COMMIT so other session can see the changed data?

Firefox 15.0.1 cannot import bookmarks from Safari 6.0.1

Hello,
Firefox 15.0.1 cannot import bookmarks from Safari 6.0.1.
I have followed the steps below:
1) Export all Safari bookmarks to an HTML file (File --> Export Bookmarks)
2) Import bookmarks into Firefox (Bookmarks --> Show all bookmarks --> Import and Backup --> Import Bookmarks from HTML)
Firefox seems to load the HTML file, but the bookmarks never show up in Firefox.
Any thoughts about why this is happening?
Best,

Aperture cannot import anything from iPhoto and other bugs!!

Aperture is buggy. Recently, I just updated Mac OS X to 10.4.5 and also updated iLife 06. Now I cannot import anything from iPhoto. I tried import images from iphoto or import iphoto library, both not working. I can import images from other directories but jut could not see anything display under iphoto library directory. Trying to use import iphoto library, click choose and then nothing happens.
If you create a smart web gallery, all photos will be automatically duplicated.

I used Pacifist.app to find iPhoto in the iLife '06 install package and then installed the app in the default location replacing the bundle that was there.
the normal method gave me an install error.
Thank you to the person who discovered this.
I was going nuts trying. I have 6 iphoto libraries with 30,000 photos in total and some would import fine and others would not. couldn't tell the difference between them and had forgotten the update. just got a new iMac intel and wasn't paying attention. Causality
