Sqlplus is not working

Hi;
I'm trying to to work with sqlplus form a Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 7) 2.6.9 78.ELsmp server. The problem is I can not get response once I type sqllplus; or sqlplus / as sysadmin, or sqlplus /nolog. Previos to call sqlplus I do export ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID.
Any idea what's happenning.
Thanks

[oracle@PRODSERVDB1 ~]$ sqlplus
After that, nothing happens. The cursor remains in the same position, but it doesn't given any error. I cancel the process thru Ctrl C.Type the command alias to check whether sqlplus have been aliased (many of us alias it and run it via rlwrap ) - could be incorrectly aliased.
Run it by specifying the actual executable. But before you do, confirm the executable is okay. Use "+file $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus+" and see what it says. If its looks okay, then execute it using the full path too.

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.

JDBC ok but SQLPLUS does not work

Hi all,
I created a java app that can connected to a Oracle DB with JDBC, however, when I try to get connected to my DB using the SLQPLU I laways get this error:
[oracle@ipsm-sn01 ~]$ sqlplus myuser/mypass@orcl
ERROR:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
The SID is properly exported:
export ORACLE_SID=orcl
The JDBC url looks like:
jdbc.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:orcl
jdbc.username=myuser
jdbc.password=mypass
I have read a lot of entries about a file named TNSNAMES.ORA, I have no such file set; but the java app has been running for months without it, so I think that's not the root cause.
Thanks in advanced.

Thanks in advanced.If you are to use a SQL*Plus on your desktop, the TNSNAMES.ORA is required. I think the reason why you are not getting any issue at all when you are running it thru java app is because the java app is doing that for you creating an image of TNSNAMES.ORA or the likes of it thru some interfaces to connect to the database. An example of this is our application user. They don't have any TNSNAMES.ORA installed on their PC when they run our inhouse apps connected to the oracle database.

Sqlplus is not working in oracle client machine.

In one of the application server on which Oracle client is installed, While login thru unix shell script im getting below error.

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" 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

GROUP BY is Not working in Reports Builder 9.0.4

I have test run a query from both Jdev & SQLplus.
It works fine, and I have used the GROUP BY in Reports before (that is what makes this so frustrating).
The query looks something like this:
SELECT
a.programid,
nvl(sum(b.fy06),0.00) sum06,
nvl(sum(b.fy07),0.00) sum07,
nvl(sum(b.fy06 + b.fy07),0.00) total
FROM
table1 a
left join table2 b on a.item_id = b.item_id
WHERE 1=1
GROUP BY rollup(a.programid)
As I mentioned this works fine from Jdev or sqlplus, but not when I run the report from Reports Builder 9.0.4 I get an error after the Param form runs and before the BeforeReport trigger.
The error reads as follows:
ORA-00937: not a single-group group function
SELECT ==> a.programid, nvl(sum ....the rest of the query....
Can anyone give me suggestions on what may be causing this, or preferably give any advice as to how to fix it.
Thanks for your time.

Good Morning Everyone,
We have similar Warning Message, too.
We used Report Builder 10.1.2
In Toad, there is no problem like other.
If you have a chance, please share with us.
Thanks in advance

Condition specified in expression 2 is not working as expected

I have an application variable that I'm setting in a page-level computation. It is conditional: it should only be (re) set when :request is not Delete, and when the application item is either null, or when a specific string is NOT contained in the application item. I have the condition type as PL/SQL, and am using both expression 1 and expression 2.
Expression 1:
nvl(:REQUEST,'DELETE') <> 'DELETE' (this condition is working)
Expression 2:
nvl(instr(:MD_Refresh_Tables, 'HDB_SITE'),0) < 1)
(this condition is not working. :MD_Refresh_Tables is the application item being
set. And I've checked out the SQL in sqlplus and it's doing what I think it is.
However, when MD_Refresh_Tables contains 'HDB_SITE', the computation is
still being made, which is problematic for how I want to use this variable,
because it then contains 'HDB_SITE' more than once.)
Am I not understanding how expression 1 and expression 2 are used in conjunction with each other?
thanks,
Carol

Carol,
You start with a specific condition type. Depending on the type, it may require neither Expression 1 nor Expression 2, or it may require Expression 1 only or it may require both Expression 1 and Expression 2. The type of condition, i.e., its name, suggests which, if any, of those two fields would be required. If your condition type is PL/SQL Expression, you put the PL/SQL Expression in Expression 1 and leave Expression 2 empty.

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.

Help! Script that works in 8.1.7 does not work in 9.2.0

I have a generic hot backup script that runs well in our 8i environment where I source the username and password for SYS from a secured txt file. However I could not get the script to work in our recently installed 9.2.0 environment.
Below is an extract of the hot backup script:
# Set environment
. ${HOME}/BACKUP/${DBNAME}.env
CONNECT_STRING=`${HOME}/admin/Util/syspass.sh sys $DBNAME`
export CONNECT_STRING
#Define some commands and files
SQLPLUS="${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/sqlplus -s ${CONNECT_STRING}"
TIME_STAMP=`date +"%d-%b-%Y"`
# Test for duplicate filenames
$SQLPLUS <<-EOF
var numfiles number;
BEGIN
SELECT count(*) into :numfiles
FROM dba_data_files a, dba_data_files b
WHERE a.file_name != b.file_name
AND SUBSTR(a.file_NAME, INSTR(a.file_name, '/', -1) + 1)
= SUBSTR(b.file_NAME, INSTR(b.file_name, '/', -1) + 1);
END;
exit :numfiles
EOF
FILE_ERROR=$?
echo "Number of duplicate files $FILE_ERROR"
if [ $FILE_ERROR -gt 0 ]; then
echo "Aborting, ... $FILE_ERROR duplicate filenames"
exit
fi
As per the extract above,
in our 8.1.7 environment,
(1) the command CONNECT_STRING=`${HOME}/admin/Util/syspass.sh sys $DBNAME`
will result in CONNECT_STRING=sys/xxxxxx@<sid>
(2) the command SQLPLUS="${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/sqlplus -s ${CONNECT_STRING}"
will result in SQLPLUS=/usr/oracle/product/8.1.7/bin/sqlplus -s sys/xxxxxx@<sid>
(3) and when issue $SQLPLUS <<-EOF
it connects fine and execute the procedure successfully.
in Oracle 9.2.0,
(1) the command CONNECT_STRING=`${HOME}/admin/Util/syspass.sh sys $DBNAME`
works fine with result same as in 8.1.7 - CONNECT_STRING=sys/xxxxxx@<sid>
(2) the command SQLPLUS="${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/sqlplus -s ${CONNECT_STRING}"
works fine with result SQLPLUS=/usr/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/sqlplus -s sys/xxxxxx@<sid>
(3) However, when issue $SQLPLUS <<-EOF returns an error:
ERROR:
ORA-28009: connection to sys should be as sysdba or sysoper
How can I fix that??
Is it because of the username/password structure (sys/xxxxxx@<sid>)??
I would like to keep such username/password format if possible.
I have also tried to hard coded the username/password for variable SQLPLUS as:
SQLPLUS="/usr/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/sqlplus -S '/ as sysdba'"
But it still doesn't work when issue $SQLPLUS, it returns the following:
Usage: SQLPLUS [ [<option>] [<logon>] [<start>] ]
where <option> ::= -H | -V | [ [-L] [-M <o>] [-R <n>] [-S] ]
<logon> ::= <username>[<password>][@<connect_string>] | / | /NOLOG
<start> ::= @<URI>|<filename>[.<ext>] [<parameter> ...]
"-H" displays the SQL*Plus version banner and usage syntax
"-V" displays the SQL*Plus version banner
"-L" attempts log on just once
"-M <o>" uses HTML markup options <o>
"-R <n>" uses restricted mode <n>
"-S" uses silent mode
Any ideas as to how to have the script run in 9.2.0??
Your help is much appreciated.

Hi, I tried CJs suggestion; however it still doesnt work for me.
I tried assigning the command line to a variable, I tried to log in directly from the command line, and both dont work (see below). What did I do wrong??
$ SQLPLUS="/usr/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/sqlplus -S \"sys/xxxxxx@<sid> as sysdba\""
$ echo $SQLPLUS

My first comment is that even though you are using a secure encrypted text file, putting the SYS password on the command line can make the password available to anyone on the server who can perform a ps command:

Starting in Oracle 9 (others will correct me if I am wrong) you cannot connect to the sys account without specifying as SYSDBA or SYSOPER.
My testing (9.2.0.3) resulted in your ORA-1013 using "sys/password@dbname as sysdba". Using "sys/password as sysdba" works just fine. I seem to remember if you want to use @dbname, you will need to use password file authentication instead of OS authentication.
My suggestion -if possible - is to use plain "connect / as sysdba" in your SQL Script and have ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID set correctly in your environment (do it in ${HOME}/BACKUP/${DBNAME}.env) :
sqlplus /nolog <<-EOF
connect / as sysdba;

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
connect sys as sysdba
@apxldimg.sql c:\software
8.
sqlplus /nolog
connect sys as sysdba
exec dbms_xdb.setListenerLocalAccess (l_access => FALSE);
Any clue on where could I have gone wrong?
Thanks,
