SQLdeveloper can't connect to 10g Dbase

Hi, Everyone.
I have been trying to make a connection to 10g database using oracle sqldeveloper (versions 1.2 , 1.5.0, 1.5.3, 1.5.4 and 1.5.5) for the past two weeks but to no avail.
I always get the following error when using any of the abovenamed versions:
Status: Failure - Test Failed: oracle.i18n.text.converter.CharacterConverterOGS.getInstance(I)Loracle/sql/converter/CharacterConverters;
My problem is exacly similar to [this unanswered thread|http://kr.forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=653738]
However, I am able to successfully make connection to Access database. I have tried different tricks and made sure that the OS locale is English (US). I am also sure that I have been entering the connection details properly:
That is; Connection Name, Username, Password are correct, the Role is 'default', Connection Type is 'basic', Port is '1521' and the SID is 'MyDB'. Whenever I press 'Test' I get the above error, and am so frustrated. Am using Windows Server 2003.
Can someone point me in the right direction please!
best,
Meldo

thanks John.
I have posted it at the right forum

  • Can not connect Oracle 10g express edition from report builder.

    I have newly installed report builder . Different home was selected for Report builder and oracle. Oracle database server is also in the same machine. But i am not able to connect my oracle 10g express edition database. It throws error ORA-12154 : TNS could not resolve service name.( same error displayed while trying to connect from SQL Plus).But from toad i am able to access the database. May be because here I am able to select the proper home.
    Here i am adding my tns entry

    (SERVICE_NAME = XE)
    can any one suggest what the actual problem is?
    Thanks ..........

    Hello,
    Oracle 10g XE is rather specific and, I'm not sure that you can upgrade it to 10.2.0.4 .
    However, Oracle published an Upgrade Guide for Oracle Express Edition but, it's limited to *10.2.0.3*:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/server.102/b32391/toc.htm
    But be careful:
    Once you have upgraded to Oracle Database 10g, you cannot downgrade back to Oracle Database Express Edition.Hope this help.
    Best regards,

  • DTP plugin can't connect to 10g DB that uses SERVICE_NAME instead of SID

    Hi,
    I am trying to set up a connection to a database that uses a service name instead of a SID (see below for the TNSNAMES entry. It gets an ORA-12505 error because the listener does not know of SID given in connect descriptor. The Connection descriptor used by the client was:
    tdc-sun-77-vip.unix.tdc.xxxyyy.com:1521:SRV_TMS_TNV.
    My understanding is that the url for JDBC for service name should use a "/" instead of a ":" to separate the port from the service name. The dialog for creating the connection in SQL Developer has radio buttons to choose between SID and Service Name, so it can generate the url appropriately. The wizard for the Eclipse plugin does not have this option and the plugin always uses a ":" as the separator.
    If anyone else has encountered this and gotten around it I would appreciate knowing how.
    I am using the Oracle Database Tools 1.2.0.200907171332 for Eclipse Galileo.

  • How to connect Oracle 10g from OBIEE on Linux?

    - OBIEE 10.1.3.4.0 is running on Cent 5 Linux M1 (*64* bit). My Oracle database is running another similar machine M2.
    - I installed oracle 64 bit client on M1 but could not connect to run the report, connection issue. Even nqcmd didn't helped.
    - I guess it was because OBIEE is *32* bit application and hence need 32 bit client.
    - I tried installing Oracle 32 bit Linux client on M1 but installation fails with some dependency (Not sure if we can install 32 bit client on 64 bit machine)
    Q1 - Any suggestion at this point?
    Q2 - Is there any way we could connect OBIEE to Oracle via ODBC drivers. I could not found any odbc driver/so file when I wan installed 64 bit client. Any suggestion for this?
    Thanks in Advance!

  • How can SQLDeveloper connect to 10g DB on server but UI cannot

    How can SQLDeveloper connect to 10g DB on server but the User Interface on local laptop cannot? What does the UI need that SQL Developer doesn't need?

    What kind of UI are you talking about?
    SQL Developer can use different type of connection method to connect to Oracle database.
    For example, basic method of SQL Developer is JDBC Thin connection, in which case, SQL Developer will use JDBC driver that come with it, don't need any other thing installed.
    SQL Developer also can use TNS method which will require Oracle client installed and TNS names configured.

  • BAM can't connect so SOA Suite 10g

    Hi,
    I'm trying to use BAM 11g TP4 out of my existing BPEL project, which is deployed on an oc4j (SOA Suite 10g). Unfortunalety I have to use JDeveloper 10g, so there's no way to get BAM Connection, which forced me to usa a JMS Adapter.

    Hi,
    may be you have to use ODI to read JMSQ and to put data to BAM11gTP4 because it does not work with SOA10g. Alternative you can use WebServces to publish BAM11g Dataobjects.

  • Upraded Sql Developer and can't connect to Oracle

    I just updated to the Dec 2009 release and now I can't connect
    When I click the plus or right click on Connections and select "New Connection" nothing happens.
    If I monitor processes in task manager it shows a brief spike in cpus and a small increase in memory usage but nothing happens in the app.
    I also noticed that when I close the application it does not leave memory. I have to kill the process via the task manager to get rid of it.
    If I go back to version 1.5.1 it works fine. It also leaves memory when terminated
    Using winxp r3.

  • Error to connect oracle 10g client and designer BO 4.0

    hello,
    I try to connect oracle 10g client and designer BO 4.0.
    I created an ODBC connection to function in the administration tools of data sources but I can not connect once in designer.
    I tried using the driver directly oracle designer 10 but I have the same error that is this:
    DBD: ORA-12154: TNS: connection identifier specified could not be resolved
    someone there had the same concerns?
    cordially

    Hi,
    so it looks like that your TNSNAMES.ORA file isn`t properly configured. Thats why you can connect with the IDT to your Oracle Database.
    Your DBA`s should sent you the correct TNSNAMES.ORA file or the entry for your DB prior. After the tnsping works, you will be able to use the IDT properly.

  • Error when trying to install oracle client (can't connect to X11 error)

    Hi guys,
    I need help to install Oracle Client 10g. I am quite a novice so I am totally hopeless when it comes to difficult or linux-kind-of-terms.
    I can't use GUI at all, so everything got to be done through putty.exe
    my local pc (where the putty is, IP 192.168.8.194) -> linux red hat 4 IP 192.168.8.31 (where the oracle client should be!)
    when I run the runIntaller I receieved error mentioning about DISPLAY variable haven't set yet.
    I did set it trhough putty as follow
    DISPLAY=192.168.8.194:0.0
    export DISPLAY
    no luck...I still hit an error that eventho this time the error is like below;

    ==============================================================================
    When I run the xclock using GUI I can see it pop up on my screen, but when I run xclock trhough putty, I see that it just went blank...is that right because I am using putty or what?
    Can you guys please help? Everyone that had this problem like find the solution real easy...I just so frustrated because this setting is just not working, and I have no idea what to check. Do I need extra library or something to install this?
    Please remember that I can use GUI in my test server but I can't use any GUI at all when I am implementing this.
    Thanks thanks thanks.
    Daniel -

    Hi-
    You are right. putty is just a simple console without X11 in it. how come it didn't even cross my mind?
    Thanks for the reply. I solved it by using third party software called xdeep, from what I got from internet looks like this and the software you were talking about hold the same purpose. This xdeep is pretty easy to configure and in just few seconds I can launch the installer! Gee...!
    For those guys that having the same problem as me then find xdeep software from google and browse on the configure webpage. I found a step by step configuration setting from the internet too and it's real easy.

  • Can't connect to weblogic embedded LDAP from an init block

    Hi
    I am trying to use weblogic's embedded LDAP directory in an OBIEE RPD initialisation block, using 10g security model in OBIEE 11g. I need the internal user, BISystemUser, to be validated by an init block in the rpd, but I am not able to configure the weblogic LDAP in an init block, as it is done with AD, for example.
    I am following the instructions on "Viewing the Contents of the Embedded LDAP Server from an LDAP Browser" section of this document, http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/web.1111/e13707/ldap.htm#i1104934 and I am getting: "LDAP bind failure: Can't connect to LDAP server". Weblogic is up and running, I can connect to its console, OBIEE, etc.
    I am using this settings on OBIEE:
    Hostname: localhost (I've tried using the actual hostname)
    Base DN: dc=bifoundation_domain
    Bind DN: cn=Admin
    Port: 7001
    (I've already reset LDAP's Admin password to a known value).
    The curious thing is that I can connect to the same LDAP using the same settings with LDAPExplorerTool2 opensource tool.
    Does anyone have an idea what else is missing?
    Thank you.

    i also have this problem..do u have any solution?

    Please any help would be appreciated I have been at this for days, thanks.

    This has to be some kind of bug with 10g express because I see lots of people having similar problems. I'm in the process of uninstalling 10g, and I will re-install it see if that makes a difference. Again if anyone has any other ideas please keep them coming because this is utter BS it shouldn't be this hard.
