Sqlplus "/as sysdba" is not working

We created oinstall group & oracle user (group is oinstall) on Solaris 10, 64bit SPARC box. And installed oracle 10g release 2. From the UNIX box sqlplus "/as sysdba" is not working.
sqlplus
Enter user-name: sys as sysdba
Enter password:
is working fine.
What could be the problem? Please help.
Thanks,
Prasad

For any of a number of reasons, you do not have 'operating system authentication' enabled.
This setup is fairly well described here http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/dba.htm#sthref149

sqlplus -help
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
Copyright (c) 1982, 2007, Oracle. All Rights Reserved.
Usage 1: sqlplus -H | -V
    -H             Displays the SQL*Plus version and the
             usage help.
    -V             Displays the SQL*Plus version.
Usage 2: sqlplus [ [<option>] [<logon>] [<start>] ]
<option> is: [-C <version>] [-L] [-M "<options>"] [-R <level>] [-S]
    -C <version>   Sets the compatibility of affected commands to the
             version specified by <version>. The version has
             the form "x.y[.z]".     For example, -C 10.2.0
    -L             Attempts to log on just once, instead of
             reprompting on error.
    -M "<options>" Sets automatic HTML markup of output. The options
             have the form:
             HTML [ON|OFF] [HEAD text] [BODY text] [TABLE text]
             [ENTMAP {ON|OFF}] [SPOOL {ON|OFF}] [PRE[FORMAT] {ON|OFF}]
    -R <level>        Sets restricted mode to disable SQL*Plus commands
             that interact with the file system.     The level can
             be 1, 2 or 3. The most restrictive is -R 3 which
             disables all user commands interacting with the
             file system.
    -S             Sets silent mode which suppresses the display of
             the SQL*Plus banner, prompts, and echoing of
             commands.
<logon> is: (<username>[/<password>][@<connect_identifier>] | /)
           [AS SYSDBA | AS SYSOPER] | /NOLOG
    Specifies the database account username, password and connect
    identifier for the database connection. Without a connect
    identifier, SQL*Plus connects to the default database.
    The AS SYSDBA and AS SYSOPER options are database administration
    privileges.
    The /NOLOG option starts SQL*Plus without connecting to a
    database.
<start> is: @<URL>|<filename>[.<ext>] [<parameter> ...]
    Runs the specified SQL*Plus script from a web server (URL) or the
    local file system (filename.ext) with specified parameters that
    will be assigned to substitution variables in the script.
When SQL*Plus starts, and after CONNECT commands, the site profile
(e.g. $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/glogin.sql) and the user profile
(e.g. login.sql in the working directory) are run. The files may
contain SQL*Plus commands.
Refer to the SQL*Plus User's Guide and Reference for more information.

Sqlplus / as sysdba--how it works

When we login as
sqlplus / as sysdba
we login as SYS user, but how no userid or password is given but still we login as SYS user ??

Try this :-
[timepass@adc2110341 bin]$ ./sqlplus / as sysdba

We have checked, this is a known bug.Bug 4657820 - NLS:XENT10201-050913:FAIL TO INSTALL WINDOWS XE UNDER RUSSIAN LOCALE.
The simptom is that installation fails without error messages when the installation is performed under the following locale.
- Russian
- Estonian
- English - South Africa
- Spanish - Dominican Republic
The workaround is to change the user locale to something else before the XE installation.

Sqlplus can connect but can not work!

Essentially, what you've done is the equivalent of 'here's a picture of my garage. Why won't my car start?'

Grant sysdba to rmanuser did not work but later worked.Need explnatn pls...

Hi Members,
I'm running a test 9i RAC. I'm trying to setup RMAN to backup data from RAC. One of the requirements to setup RMAN recovery catalog (database) is to grant/create a user on target database with sysdba privileges. Hence i created a user named 'RMANUSER' with default tablespace users and temporary tablespace temp.
When I try to grant sysdba to RMANUSER, it says granted but when i check v$pwfile_users, RMANUSER is not listed.
instance connected to is orcl1:
conn sys/pwd@orcl as sysdba
SQL> show parameters remote_login
NAME TYPE VALUE
remote_login_passwordfile string EXCLUSIVE
SQL> grant sysdba to rmanuser;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> select * from v$pwfile_users;
USERNAME SYSDB SYSOP
SYS TRUE TRUE
I tried the above even on orcl2 with no result. I read somewhere that I need to create a new password file with orapwd and hence i created new password file on both instances.
on orcl1:
orapwd file=/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/dbs/orapworcl1 pwd=password entries=5
on orcl2:
orapwd file=/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/dbs/orapworcl2 pwd=password entries=5
The good thing is I renamed the old files and created new orapw files.
After creation of new files, When I try to grant sysdba to rmanuser, I received the following error: ORA-01999:password file mode has changed from 'exclusive' to 'shared'
But show parameters remote_login was still "exclusive"
SQL> show parameters remote_login
NAME TYPE VALUE
remote_login_passwordfile string EXCLUSIVE
Now, there were no users in v$pwfile_users
SQL> select * from v$pwfile_users;
no rows selected
Also I was unable to connect to sys with sysdba privileges. I was only able to connect without sysdba.
SQL> conn sys/oracle@orcl
Connected.
SQL> conn sys/oracle@orcl as sysdba
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
SQL> conn sys/oracle@orcl
Connected.
SQL> shutdown immediate
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
I was also unable to shutdown the database. Hence I reverted back to the old orapw files on both instances(servers). Then I just tried if the grant sysdba to rmanuser would work, and luckily it worked.
SQL> grant sysdba to rmanuser;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> select * from v$pwfile_users;
USERNAME SYSDB SYSOP
SYS TRUE TRUE
RMANUSER TRUE FALSE
But I'm unable to understand as to how it worked now. The orapw files are attached below for your reference. Any inputs are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. orapworcl1 is the old one which works now. orapworcl1-new was the newly created file which does not work and gives insufficient privileges error.
[root@sunny1pub ~]# cat /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/dbs/orapworcl1
]\[ZORACLE Remote Password file ORCL INTERNAAB27B53EDC5FEF41 SYS 8A8F025737A9097A _�RMANUSED1C5D743B0B4A7F0
�
[root@sunny1pub ~]# cat /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/dbs/orapworcl1-new
]\[ZORACLE Remote Password file INTERNAAB27B53EDC5FEF41 SYS 8A8F025737A9097A
[root@sunny1pub ~]#

Thanks for your feedback. I think you got me wrong here. Even orapworcl1-new was orapworcl1 when i created and tested it. You could see the filenames in orapwd line. I just renamed it now after all the testing just to post it. I do understand that the file name needs to be orapworcl1 and orapworcl2 on both the instances for it to work. One more thing that i forgot to add is that all the below ones work:
sql> conn sys/pwd@orcl
connected
sql> conn sys/pwd@orcl as sysdba
connected
sql> conn rmanuser/pwd@orcl
connected
sql> conn rmanuser/pwd@orcl as sysdba
connected

Lsnrctl and sqlplus do not work after installation

I install Oracle 10g on my Linux, but it does not work. For example when run lsnrctl or sqlplus, nothing happens. Any idea?

Hi,
Create a bash profile .bash_profile in your home path as follows:
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
export PATH
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/oracle10g
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/10.2.0/dbhome_1
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
export ORACLE_SID=TESTDB
Save this setting and run this file first time
$. .bash_profile
Once you run this I hope sqlplus should work provided you supply correct path and directories names to this file.
Use netca to recreate your listener and start it.
$lsnrctl start
$lsnrctl status
Hope it will help.
Best regards,
Rafi.

I coud not connect by sqlplus / as sysdba

export ORACLE_SID=prod
sqlplus / as sysdbait gives the following error:
ora-01030:insufficient privilege
how could i login by / as sysdba? do i need some setting?

You should create a special group for 'dba'.
Some installations also prefer you create an 'oinstall', but I prefer not to use it myself.
Rather, I just use the 'dba' group.
You should have an entry in your /etc/group file similar to:
dba:!:201:oracle
Then, in your password file, you should see the 'group' field (4th field) with the group ID that is in the /etc/group file.
oracle:!:215:201::/home/oracle:/usr/bin/ksh
Above, notice that the password entry notes the Oracle User ID (UID) is 215, and the Group ID (GID) is 201.
This is just an example (of course), and yours will be different.
As a recommendation, you might make a DBA group with ID 501 and then change the Oracle group ID to 501.

Sqlpuls command is not working at Linux

Hi,
Oracle 11g has been installed successfully at Linux. Please find below output that I got after executing ‘uname –a ‘ command:
Linux <server_name> 2.6.9-89.0.25.ELsmp #1 SMP Mon Apr 19 06:05:15 EDT 2010 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
$ORACLE_HOME is also set properly.
But when I am executing sqlpuls command, it is getting hung, not asking for user id & password prompt
$ sqlplus
$ sqlplus / as sysdba
Could you please throw some lights on this?
Regards,
Amitava

Check if the PATH is set properly. In the documentation, you can see how to set it.
If it still doesn't work, try running it directly from its directory:
1 cd /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin
2 ./sqlplus

Apex Instance 3.2 is not working anymore!

Hello Community,
i have Apex 3.2 installed on a ORACLE Standard Edition One. Everything worked fine.
After some updates the apex does not start anymore on it's adress: [http://192.168.250.30:8081/apex]
Im just seeing the ORACLE enterprise Manager which says the Database is down.
The TNS-Listener is started.
Does anbody has a solution?
Gruß
Philippsen

"After some updates.." - Which updates?
"ORACLE enterprise Manager which says the Database is down" is database down or not? Can you connect on it and query the database using SQLPlus?
Do:
lsnrctl stop
lsnrctl start
sqlplus / as sysdba
shutdown immediate
startup
lsnrctl status
Give us output of last command if all other before pass without error.

SAP* and DDIC password is not working in Cleint 000

Hi,
I have Installed ECC 6.0 IDES Server on Windows 2k3 with Oracle database. First time i was able to login to 000 client with SAP* (default pwd) and did some post installation steps. Now the password is not working.
I tried the following:
Go to cmd prompt.
Sqlplus /nolog
conn /as sysdba
sqlplus>UPDATE SAPSR3.usr02 set uflag=0 where mandt='000' and uflag=128;
All the SAP users were Unlocked.
Then i tried delete command.
sqlplus>DELETE SAPSR3.usr02 where mandt='000' and bname='SAP*';
it says " 0 rows deleted "
Parameter login/no_automatic_user_sapstar= 0 is set.
Then Restarted the SAP server and tried logging with password pass it says user and password incorrect.

Hi,
As I have given in the earlier pls go through that link.
And also ...It is good practice to put back the automatic sapstar to 1 as this will not allow other to use same way as sap* /pass and log into the client.
The first thing is like create one more user in the 000 ,and also other super user incase if you have to use 000 with super user and have your own mechanism like have cutomised program and tcode with which you can activate 000 super user and use some thing like this...or it is only known to SAP BAsis Administrator.etc..
And also do not work on 000 for regular development or prd work make a copy of this client and start using them .
This has to be used only for Support pack other SAp related activities.
The first step after installation is to make a copy of these refrence clients.And start using them.
Secondly create the sap* usermaster in 000 and remove profiles .
And enable parameter login/no_automatic_user_sapstar to 1.
with this we are securing the super user from misuse.
Incase of emergency you need to delete the sap* user master from Oracle level then activate the prifile parameter and the loginto the 000 client using sap*/Pass.
Hope this helps.
Get back if you need more information.
Thanks.

Login button not working on Applicatin Express Login screen

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade default apex version that comes with xe to apex 3.2.1. I've listed down the steps I followed to upgrade apex.
After following all the steps, I'm able to login to my application, however not able to login to apex workspace using url http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/ as the login button is not working.
Also there is no image for Application Express on the top of the page. I did try http://127.0.0.1:8080/i/ and it returns list of images.
Below are the steps I followed to upgrade apex
1. Downloaded apex_3.2.1.zip to C:\Software
2. unzip apex_3.2.1.zip to C:\Software\apex
3. started command prompt and set these variables
set ORACLE_HOME=C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server
set ORACLE_SID=xe
set ORACLE_PATH=C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\bin
set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\lib
3.1 Shutdown the listener and job services
4.
sqlplus /nolog
CONNECT SYS as SYSDBA
@apexins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/
5.
sqlplus /nolog
CONNECT SYS as SYSDBA
@apxchpwd
6.
Stopped and Started the Database, also the listener and job processes
7.
sqlplus /nolog

Any clue on where could I have gone wrong?
Thanks,
