The DBMS driver exception was: 166

Hi, I have a problem with the creation of a pool using 'thin'. My weblogic is configured with option:
-Doracle.net.tns_admin
In tnsname i has configurate the conection and if i has a sqlplus coneccion is right, and driver for jdbc isin CLASSPATH.
when i trie to make Pool in weblogic (weblogic 8 with SP6) this is message i obtain:
<26-ene-2011 10H13' CET> <Warning> <JDBC> <BEA-001129> <Received exception while creating connection for pool "NuevoPool": 166>
<26-ene-2011 10H13' CET> <Error> <JDBC> <BEA-001150> <Connection Pool "NuevoPool" deployment failed with the following error: 0:Could not create pool connection. The DBMS driver exception was: 166.>
someone has idea where is the problem or some actions to find problem
Thanks so much.

Can you show us what happens when you try to connect using the driver directly to the DBMS,
using the same properties, URL, and classpath as WebLogic, with a simple program like:
------------------------------------------------------------------------- thin.java ---------------------------------
import java.util.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class thin
public static void main(String argv[]) throws Exception
Connection c = null;
try
Driver dr = new oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver();
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("user", "scott");
props.put("password", "tiger");
String URL = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@MyDBMSBox:1531:MYSID";
c = dr.connect(URL, props);
System.out.println("The driver is " + c.getMetaData().getDriverVersion() );
System.out.println("The DBMS is " + c.getMetaData().getDatabaseProductVersion() );
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
finally { try {c.close();} catch (Exception ign){} }
}

    Hi. That means the JDBC driver you specified threw a NullPointerException
    when we tried to make a connection with it...
    Can you show the XML file for the DataSource? It's in the domain's
    config/jdbc directory.

        I've got a  MacBook Pro 1TB HD, the drive was damaged (probably dropped) after I formatted the new drive I was able to get the OSi onto the drive and it's now up and running..But prior to removing the old HD I was able to run CloneZilla to map the drive. The problem I'm having is getting the files and documents back on the new HD.
       I created a folder on the desk top and moved all the files and docs onto it, ( files / docs was originally burnt on a DVD ).  I'm not sure A) how to open the specific files B) which files to extract C) Is it as simple as drag and drop...
       Hope you're able to understand my problem and offer some suggestions, in advance thank you for your time and effort...

    Hi, Steve -
    Yes, the CD-ROM drive must be jumpered as Master in order for it to be bootable.
    Your G4 (PCI) should have two built-in IDE buses - one is usually assigned to the CD-ROM and Zip drives, and the other is used for hard drives. If you have the hard drive connected to the same bus as the one the CD-ROM is on, try switching the hard drive to the other bus.
    Set the hard drive's jumpers as Master.
    Exception - if the hard drive is a Western Digital, it may have a third position, Single, which must be used when the drive is the only device on the bus.
    Note - Cable Select jumper settings will not work on a G4 (PCI).
    Edit - -
    Startup Manager, which is what booting with Option held down invokes, is not available on a G4 (PCI).
    Article #106178 - Startup Manager: How to Select a Startup Volume
    Firewire Target Disk Mode is limited on a G4 (PCI) - it can be the Host machine, but not the Target machine.

  • Why did Windows 7 make the 100MB "System Reserved" partition on my second hard drive instead of the hard drive windows was being installed on?

    I have a Dell laptop with two physical hard drives. When I installed Windows 7, I deleted all the partitions on both physical disks. I installed windows and left the second disk unallocated. So why did the installer decide to place the 100MB System Reserved partition on the disk that wasn't being used?
    http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/8403/partitionsi.jpg

    I found the solution to the problem I described above. Here was the approach to resolve.
    Install SATA Y-Power cable jumper on one of the SATA connectors. This gives me capability to power 3 SATA SSD drives
    Install the third drive.
    Start Windows and initialize the new drive. Now I have 3 drives.
    Clone Drive C (Drive 0) to the new (third) Hard Drive (call it Drive 2). I used Acronis True Image Home.
    Remove Hard Drives 0 and 1 
    - the current drives required to boot Windows and that have my Images and data
    Install the Cloned Drive as Drive 0  and restart
    Windows should prompt me (hopefully) to repair this drive after the boot error.
    Run Startup Repair on this drive (drive 2) by loading the Windows Media CD and selecting the only drive installed (Drive 2)
    If successful, I would have created a Drive that can boot on its own and has my image and data. If unsuccessful, I put back in Drives 0 and 1 and I am back up and running. I this is a zero risk approach.
    Here are the results:
    Success!
    I got the power jumper cable in and executed the steps below. The below procedure worked flawlessly. The loading of the Windows CD took me to a Repair option that sensed a problem with Startup. If failed
    to see the Windows installation on the Cloned drive (now drive 0). This was expected. It asked me if I wanted to fix it. I said yes. The system restarted and there was another boot error. I loaded the Windows CD again. This time it saw the Windows 7 Installation
    and told me there were Startup problems that needed to be fixed. I said yes again. The system restarted and Windows came right up!
    So now I can boot from one drive. I am going to run like this for a couple of days just to be sure. Then I am going to reconnect the other two drives as drives 1 and 2 and figure a way to use them effectively.
    Good luck!

  • The MySQL driver exception!!

    Hi guys, I got a problem with the MySQL driver. I have installed the MySQL connector to classpath. Then I wrote a test program to test if the driver is working well. This test program showed very thing is working well. This test program can connect the database and pick up data from there.However, when I wrote another program that must be using MySQL, the exception "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" occured. That looked like the MySQL driver has not been installed well or is not working well. But how this happened? How can I solve this problem???
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi,thanks a lot for ur reply.
    Another problem in this case is that, I have 2 computers running this "problem" program. Acturely, most of job have been done in 1st machine and this "problem" program works very well. Then for some reasons, I gotta move this "problem" program to 2nd machine. At first, I just move the .class file to 2nd machine, but it appears exception"com.mysql.jdbc.Driver". Then I move all the source code and compile it. It also appears the same exception. Does that mean the classpath in 2nd machine has some problems?
    Thanks for any reply.

  • Watching some movies the other night and my MacBookPro started humming like the disk drive was running, but ther was nothing in the disk drive.  Was I being hacked and is my financial info doomed?        doomed?

    On a MacBookPro useing ox 10.6 It sonded like my hard drive was spining like a disk drive. Disk drive was empty. Was I being hacked? Also the next day time machine asked where to "back up" as ther was no choises available.  It has never asked that before. 

    You were probably hearing the cooling fans speeding up to dissipate the extra heat produced by displaying movies for an extended time.
    We would need more information to figure out why you were asked about where to back up. Was your backup hard drive connected to the computer and turned on at the time?

  • I have a 1st Gen Time Capsule 1tb. It turns on, boots up and turns green for 5-10 mins, but then turns solid orange and then blinks orange.  I have removed the hard drive and replaced the power supply . . . still the same problem.  Suggestions?

    I purchased a used 1st Gen Time Capsule with a 1 tb hard drive.
    When I plugged it in and did the initial setup, it worked fine, but gave me a hard drive error.  A few minutes later the green light turned solid orange, then blinking orange, then the status light went off.  The lights in back stayed on. 
    I removed the hard drive and rebooted, it turned green for 5-10 minutes then reverted back to a solid orange, blinking orange, then went off.
    Next I purchased a remanufactured internal power supply, and installed it (without the hard drive in).  It turned green almost immediately.  After about 15-20 minutes, I decided to try to install the hard drive again, booted it up, and tried to erase the hard drive with was working properly according to the software.  It stopped erasing the disc after about 20 minutes and turned solid orange again, then blinking, then no status light  (but back lights were still lit).
    I'm a bit flabbergasted at this point, any suggestions on what to do next?  I think i've pretty much replaced everything except the logic board, but can't seem to find any information on the symptoms of a logic board malfunction. 
    Thanks!!!!!!!

    A Gen3 is identical board to a Gen4 although they have some differences in firmware and wireless card was updated on every model.. but a Gen3 is substantially faster than Gen1, Gen2 which also have identical boards.
    You can with careful shopping get a Gen3 pretty cheap.
    Most use a delta power supply which I think is a lot better than the flextronics used in most Gen1/2
    You can sell back the parts to ebay.. people still would buy the power supply etc. Even just the case can be useful to a repairer.
    But if the board is gone.. it is hard to repair.. not impossible.. but hard.
    Gen 3 and Gen 4 are not without faults.
    See this page.

    I have fixed it a different way.. by using the small converters you can buy in bulk from ebay for $1 each.. KIS3R33 .. they produce 3.3V at 2A peaking at 3A.. amazing.. I keep using them to replace onboard power converters by removing the inductor and simply power directly.. the end result has worked great. You can simply change the resistors around and get any output from 1v to 20v depending on input.
    Is it worth doing it .. no of course not.. it will waste many more hours than $50 is worth.. but it is kind of fun that you can actually make things work again.
    Here is a pic of the Gen 3 totally powered by me. All onboard power removed.
    This was to track down the fault in the Gen3.. but I am kind of pleased that it ended up neat enough and reliable enough to work for more than a year.. the Gen3 still serves as a way to get Netflix via network for a friend running 24/7.
    The units supply (from left to right)
    1v, 1.1v, 3.3v, 5v, 1.8v
    It is feed by 12v supply which is also directly connected to the hard disk.
    So it is possible to fix.. !! Only got to be a bit crazy.

  • Can I swap the hard drive from MacBook Pro 17 (2009) to MacBook Pro 15 (2006)?

    My MacBook Pro 17 (2009) died. Pushing the power button gets no response. I had had problems with it for some time turning it on, it usually taking many many tries. Plus when I'd try to do a restart after updating software, instead of doing so it'd shut off super quick with a *pop* sound. There was never any of the typical hard drive going bad sounds I've read about and seen in videos. Since it has refused to turn on I've gone through every suggestion I can find to get it to turn back on. Unhook the battery and try starting from just the power cord; the shorting the power pads move; some thing undoing the battery, counting to 10, and then the next steps now escape my memory, but doing more counting to 10 inbetween; unplugging the battery and leaving it sit for 2 days with no power cord plugged in either, then hook it to a power cord and turn it back on; and so many more.
    Also the symptoms just before this fiasco were as follows: I had a CD in the internal drive and was browsing through the images on it via the handy previewer using the space bar. Then I decided to quite, tried ejecting the CD by dragging the icon to the trash, and nothing. I tried again. The same. Then I pushed on the eject key, with the ejct icon popping up on the screen momentarily, but still nothing. Then it appreared as though some things worked and other things were not working. In my frustration I went to the Apple menu and clicked restart with a wince knowing it was going to take forever to turn back on. It did the usual quickly off with a *pop* and made super short lame attempts to turn back on when using the power button. Of course the CD kept trying to spin for a split second and then the little indicator light on the front would go out, then no noise at all.
    Since I do not believe it is the hard drive (of course I could be wrong not being a Mac nerd at all), I was wondering if I can switch the hard drive to my Macbook Pro 15 (2006)?
    I tried this, but it would not read the hard drive. Just a blank grey screen. If it is possible to do this swap, what are the exact steps to do? Please answer like I'm completely illiterate on this, because I really am. I'm super scared of losing everything on the dead MacBook's hard drive. Yeah yeah, I know: then why have I not been backing things up? I had the week prior. Believe me I WILL be doing it daily from now on if I get this mess straightened out!

    OGELTHORPE really sorry to keep bugging you, but it's obvious you know what you are talking about and I'm stuck on thin ice here getting this fixed, because there are no authorized Apple reps here. I would rather shoot myself for messing up, then to trust someone who "says" they can fix my Mac down here.
    I checked out a company owned by ebay that is the same down here, called MercadoLibre. There are quite a few adapters listed there. I'd like to give you links for some and was wondering if you minded taking a look to tell me if any seem to fit the bill. Some have specs in English, others don't. (Google translater is my friend!)

    These are all cost effective enough that I don't care the price - cheap, expensive - whichever will work the BEST!
    I've also looked for the 7200 rpm HDD, and although I found some, I'll be danged if they are not 3.0, instead of the 2.5 that I have. Grrrr! I was willing to spend the $90 for 1tb... or being the non-techie that I am, can this 3.0 go into my 2006 MBP??
    Just so you can see what all is listed right now:
    http://listado.mercadolibre.com.uy/7200-rpm-hdd-2.5-macbook-pro
    Another newbie question: How do I check what the amount if RAM is presently installed in it? (I might be a greenhorn, but I take pride in not being a dumbie and I learn when taught)
    Right now, I'm willing to spend almost anything. I want a few files that are on the HDD at the moment that I was stupid and did not backup on my external. One file I worked on all day due to the dimensions I had to design it at and each effect took a long time to render. I really don't want to do that one again!.. I'm also willing to spend anything that won't cost me the price of a new iMac. Figure that should be the next one I buy that is affordable, but won't be overworked like the MBP was.
    Once again, thanks much for all of your help!

  • My late 2006 iMac stopped finding my back up drive.  I've tried rebooting but no good.  Tried unplugging the external drive and rebooting.  How do I tell my computer to find the external 500 GB dive that is plugged into it?

    I have a Western Digital 500 gig external hardrive that I have been using successfully with Time Machine to back up my files.  A few weeks ago I noticed that the external drive light was ON but not moving back and forth indicating that it was working.  The light was now simply ON but not moving.  So I checked and sure enough Time Machine didn''t "see" it anymore.  When I tried to fix it, the drive is no longer on the list.  Nothing is on the list.  The external drive is not showing anywhere, including the desktop.  And when I tried to switch Time Machine on the list is empty and it wants to "look" at airport for a wi-fi type peripheral.  Help!  How do I get the iMac to realize it has an external drive plugged into it?  I don't even know why it worked when I first got it or why it stopped working.  I only know that Time Machine doesn't have it listed.

    Open disk utility and check the external drive and repair it.  If that didn't fix the problem or if you are unable to see the drive in disk utility then the drive could be bad. 

  • My new HD with a cloned system and apps won't boot the G5 when installed. The clone drive is being journal formatted via usb with OS9 checked in disk utility. First time around, I didn't check OS9, and the G5 didn't boot from the clone drive. Advice?

    My system is a G5 PPC with 2x 2Gig 64bit processors (dual core). 6 gig of ram on board, running OSX 10.4.11. I recently discovered the main drive was actually a laptop drive someone had stuffed in there! (The machine was given to me - yes, really). So I bought a nice new WD Caviar Black 500Gig HD. Hooked it up via usb adapter (G5 won't see it internally). Disk Utility saw it, formatted it with Journal option selected, but not OS9 install.
    After that, I cloned the data on the slow laptop drive complete with all the applications onto the Caviar HD.Sure enough, the G5 can see the Caviar HD with everything on it.
    However, when putting the Caviar HD in where the laptop drive once was, the G5 would not see the disk at all.
    So now, I'm reformatting the drive again but this time with OS9 checkbox ticked in Disk Utility. After this, I will install it into the machine alongside the offensively sluggish laptop drive, and as long as the G5 sees the Caviar HD internally, I will clone from there, rather than via USB hookup.
    I hope this way the system will speed up! There's no way the machine is running as it can do with a pokey little laptop drive in it spinning at 5k surely!
    I am assuming the Tiger 10.4.11 is genuine (I think it is - the X symbol is present on the folder), but I don't have the original disk...
    Any suggestions? Has anyone had this experience?

    Hi BDAqua... downstairs away from unit at the moment. It's a Western Digital Caviar Black 500Gig, twin processors, SATA3 / 6, 64Meg cache on-board... nice. Very quite with minimal vibration (slight).
    However as I'm here I can announce I've solved the problem! The G5 had an original Seagate Barracuda HDD on board as a slave drive. I backed up the dat off that onto the Caviar Black via USB adapter. Then Disk Utility wiped the Barracuda safely.
    Then, I installed SuperDuper! to clone the data from the sluggish laptop master drive onto the Barracuda; I also told SuperDuper! to boot the G5 from the newly image Barracuda.
    After it had done the job I switched off the machine (it may well have rebooted - I was downstairs watching England fail at Eurovision Song Contest), took out the laptop drive and started up the G5.
    Mercifully, it rebooted fine! All details and programs are intact and functioning right down to my screensaver.
    I can report that the machine is noticably (considerably in the case of Logic8 and JamPack) faster and swifter at sourcing data.
    Everything is backed up and I now have a speedier G5! Hurrah!!
    I now have a spare 80Gig drive to hand in a caddy (originally a spare backup) that was made about the same time as the G5. It's my guess that it would fit the G5 internally and probably be seen ok by the system.
    It's worth a try. The Caviar Black will have to go into a caddy and become my backup disk. It has a clone of the OS and all apps, so if something goes badly wrong, I'm safe.
    Just a thought: The more advanced Leopard and Snow Leopard OS may struggle in G5's because the OS itself may require faster HDD's that cannot go into the G5 normally? I see many reports of Snow Leopard running like a bag of bones in people's G5's. Perhaps it's something to do with data retrieval speeds?
    I'm sticking with Tiger!
    I hope this story has assisted someone somewhere... and many thanks to all you kind people who offer to help.
    When Humanity's back is against the wall, this is how civilization will restart and re-establish... guys like us solving problems at desks, on PC's and in garden sheds!

  • How hard is it to replace the hard drive on a 21.5 inch iMac.

    My iMac is telling me the hard drive is failing.  After a web search, I discovered that you need suction cups to take off the glass to replace the drive.  I'm adjust wondering how hard it is to do?  I'm Fairly mechanically inclined, so I think I can do it myself.  I'd just like to know how tricky it is.

    If this is a new 2011 iMac, you can't replace the hard drive except by Apple as they have proprietary software installed on hard drives to monitor the status.
    Very likely it's not, as you would be making a warranty call instead of trying to replace it yourself.
    However, the info is out there to keep in mind when you buy a new iMac.

  • DVD drive does not appear on the "Computer" drive screen

    I have lost access to the DVD drive. It does not appear on the "Computer" drive screen.
    It will start up with a disk inserted but shuts down after a approx 20 seconds without having opened any files.
    The DVD light comes on when it first starts up and then goes off within a few seconds.
    I have re-installed the Toshiba driver and still no access.
    I believe it started when I installed a new WD 1Tb external drive which setup its virtual CD drive on the E: drive which was used by the DVD drive. I have moved the external drive to G: and left the E: drive letter vacant but still not working.
    Any ideas how I can solve this? It would be greatly appreciated.

    I don't know if this will help you but check it anyway

  • Boot Camp crashes after the windows software support download is finished and before the software is installed on the thumb drive

    I have previously installed Boot Camp on this Computer (MBP mid 2012, 15" 2.6 GHZ).  I recently replaced the hard drive and was reestablishing bootcamp again.  While Boot Camp is writing to the USB thunb drive it crashes and rebootrs.  The crash does not generate and message other than a note that there has been an error and the computer is restarting.  I have tried several different thumb drives all with the same result.  It makes me think that the new hard drive (a Seagate Momentus XT 750GB 7200 rpm unit) does not work with Boot Camp.  Does anyone have any thoughts or solutions?

    Hi,
    I solved the problem myself. This might help others.
    Recap:
    The Windows XP Pro CD was always ejected by Boot Camp and it wouldn't mount at all when inserted in the CD slot. The CD was however readable on a Windows Machine.
    It was not easy to detect but the Windows CD was physically deformed. It wasn't flat. It was a little convex (the outer edge was higher than its center). My iMac wasn't able to read it at all but a PC was able until I decided to test it with a full install on the PC. About half way during the installation, it stopped and an error message was displayed by Windows Setup "Disc Read Error - Disc might be damaged".
    I ejected the CD and discovered the deformation. So I carefully placed the outer edge of the CD over a ring and put some weight on its center to try to undo the deformation. I've waited 2 days then retested the CD and it worked at the first attempt. My iMac was happy and so was I. I made a security copy of the CD while it's still readable in case I have to re-install later.
    I find Microsoft cheap of putting their Installation CD in a paper sleeve. If the CD have been stored in a CD case this would not have happened.
    End of the story.

  • The recovey drive. It keeps trying to start but shows error and can not delet it.

    Photosmart D7460 wireless printer. is working fine. But can not turn off the the repair drive that was downloaded.

    Hello bk1863,
    I'm sorry to say that I'm confused by what you are trying to explain.
    The recovery drive is giving an error. What error are you getting?
    You can not delete the recovery drive so that is not something you want to do as it's what is used to recovery your computer in case you have to do a complete system recovery.
    How does your printer play into this?
    Turn off repair drive that was downloaded? Did you download software? 
    What model computer are you using?
