Tnsnames.ora file does not seem to load in SQL Developer
I've really tried my best to figure this out on my own ... through the Help, this forum, and Internet in general. I apoligize in advance for having to ask this, since I'm sure this is a common issue. This particular form entry was really close:
Database Connections will not load tnsnames.ora
But, I just can seem to figure out why, or where entries from my tnsnames.ora file are loading into SQL Developer.
- I have the TNS_ADMIN system environment variable defined to the directory where tnsnames.ora is stored - C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\NETWORK\ADMIN.
- I do not see a TNS tab as the forum entry above indicates anywhere in SQL Developer - This may be my problem.
It seems that this issue could be cleared up with better directions on how to import tnsnames.ora entries into SQL Developer. Is there any specific direction on how to get your tnsnames.ora file setup correctly with SQL Developer running on Windows XP - Besides the Help which mentions the setup of TNS_ADMIN, but doesn't really tell you what the expected result is, or where the entries will be, or how to verify this is working?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

Using Windows XP/Vista...
After testing in our environment, it appears that SQL Developer 1.5.1 (5440) does in fact ignore the TNS_ADMIN environment variable and ONLY looks in the Oracle Home directory (network/admin). We define a central network location for our tnsnames file and have the tns_admin setup to point there instead of locally for our users.
When selecting to add a new connection (in 1.5.1, it works in previously releases... meaning 1.2.something) and selecting TNS, the drop-down remains empty. However, if I exit SQL Developer and then copy the tnsnames file to the local network/admin directory I can then re-launch SQL Developer and the drop-down is populated. Exiting SQL Developer again, deleting the local copy of tnsnames, and then launching SQL Developer yet again results in the drop-down being empty.
All other Oracle-related applications function as expected (as they have for years) using the TNS_ADMIN environment variable.
Any suggestions/ideas?

SQL file does not open in Mac with SQL Developer
Hi,
I have my .sql extension files in mac associated with SQL Developer, but when I open the file SQL Developer does not start; nothing happens.
I checked all the associations and it seems correct.
Any suggestion?
Thanks,

Anyone???Hi Mike,
I can provide solution if you can tell me the registry value(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\sqlwb.sql.9.0\Shell\Open\Command). I believe there is an extra %1 which is causing this.

Let me see if I can get my IT guys to temporarily grant me registry access. As I said above, it's locked down, but maybe if I ask
reeeeally nicely :-) I will keep you posted. Thanks!
EDIT: The IT gods have smiled on me. The value for the key above is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\ssms.exe" /dde
Not sure if that helps, but there you go. Thanks!

Hey Mike,
Actually edit didnot trigger the email :)
Change that to
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\ssms.exe" %1 /dde
(add %1 and that should fix this forever)

MSI transform file does not seem to be preventing updates
So I have noticed that in the last few versions, the MSI transform file (MST) that i have been using does not seem to be working in terms of stopping the update nag on the users machines.
My transform file has the following entries:
4. under property, change the ISCHECKFORPRODUCTUPDATES to 0 and the AgreeToLicense to Yes
5. Under Checkbox, also change ISCHECKFORPRODUCTUPDATES to 0
Has there been a new key added or something? Becuase my users are still getting prompted, even with these changes.I think it was previous versions of flash which had been installed outside of the gpo that was causing it. The problem has dissapeared somewhat, or well I havent noticed it on the last few flash updates. I would make sure that the version of flash on the machine is the one installed via GPO. It could be that the user or an administrator had installed a non GPO/MST version of it, which was I think the case with us.
I attached both my transforms for acrivex and plugin for version 11.5.502.110, but it should be similar. I have not noticed the popup in a while so i think i got rid of the problematic flash copies on the machines due to reimaging or uninstalling old flash on a case by case basis. sorry to say!
Oh i cant upload files, oh well. its just 3 properties:
But if anyone else has the problem and knows a solution, feel free to update! there could be another property in there somewhere, however like i said I have not seen the behaviour reoccur, especially on newly imaged machines. -
The installer has been stuck at "44 minutes remaining" for about 2 hours now, I don't want to quit the installer incase I lose any files. I have no idea what to do now
Before doing the archive install I ran disk utility and came up with no problems. I have completed two previous archive and installs after a few issues I had with my MB. I suspect my HD is failing however it has never just stopped loading like this before.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.So your n 10.5 and you have archived and installed before, and it stalled this time,
You likely ran out of drive space or even hit a bad sector on the drive.
Reboot the machine holding the shift key down, that hopefully should get you in so you can delete the previous archived versions of OS X.
Your user accounts and files are stored seperate and even if archived with OS X, it's a copy of the orginals.
Once you get in, copy these like Users folders to a external drive as soon as possible and disconnect. -
Mac turns on, but does not seem to load OS.
A few days ago my 27-inch iMac running snow leopard, would turn on as usual,but would get to the first screen which is typically white. Usually, theapple logo appears seconds later and you can see the spinning icon below itshowing the process of loading in the OS. Generally, this would take lessthan a minute and I was up and running.
However, a few days ago, I turned on the computer, it came up to the whitescreen and just froze there - no logo, no progress icon - nothing. Iwaited for over five minutes and then I just held the power button on the backand it shut down. Tried again, same issue. Feeling a bit nervous, Iturned off the power strip and waited for about 30 seconds and turned the stripback on. I then turned on the Mac, and she fired right up as usual. Was relieved to say the least...
However, it is doing this all the time after each time I shut down. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, what did you do to correctit? Or, what might be causing this in the first place?
The reason I am concerned, about two weeks ago, I updated my Flash player;and then yesterday, I get an article from a friend about a Trojan Horse that disguisesitself as the Flash Player update and can affect Adobe apps. This may becoincidence, but it makes me a bit uneasy. Any advice would beappreciated...I came on here to look for a solution to the same problem, I had read in various places that 800Mhz ram is fine i a 667Mhz system as the 800 is just a maximum speed, also have installed 1 higher speed module in another imac with no problems.
My parents asked me to upgrade the RAM in their mid-2007 aluminium 20"imac and the 800Mhz was slightly cheaper so I thought I might as well go for it. Upon installing the sticks the computer refused to turn on, I then checked online to discover one stick of faster RAM with a slower stick is ok but two sticks of faster DDR2 is unacceptable for some reason. I sighed deeply at my stupidity and the wierdness of this quirk and installed both the old sticks of ram back in the system.
It now exhibits the problem you outlined, power button = lit blank screen, chime sound but no signs of OS loading.
Tried leaving it unplugged for a while to reset PRAM but to no avail, tried holding the power button while plugging the power lead in after reading it on another forum and all this did was add a fan stuck on full power to the list of things it does when I turn it on....
I've broken my parents' imac, help!! -

[ The load file does not exist ]
I deleted the user from the userlist and reprocessed security. I added the user again in the admin group and reporcessed user security. Same error.
When the user logs on on citrix using her profile and starts Webexcel using my profile - no problem.
My profile has administrator rights and she may not have them. So I really want her into the usergroup.
We renamed the file to upload to a file with 8 characters - same problem.
Anyone any experience with this error and how to solve it ?
Thanks for your reply.
JohanHello,
From what I understand from your log file, this is a custom import package. It is failing into the last step, loading data into the cube and it seems there is no file to be loaded. If the same package is working well for the other users, this means that the user has not enough security rights to load data from that file (maybe the file contains data for which the user is not authorized to see).
To understand better what is happening, just try to activate the debug using the DEBUG(ON) instruction into EvModifyPackage. This will create more information regarding the parameters passed to your tasks and you will be able to identify the file name passed to Dump&Load task.
You can verify then into Private publication\user name\Temp files the content of file (and the content of all temporary files generated by your package) and this will help you to understand where is the problem.
Hope this can help you,

In large PDF files the cursor moves at warp speed with a mind of it's own, I've tried slowing it down in Sys Pref with no luck. On small files cursor action is normal. This happens in Safari, Preview and other programs that use PDF files. Sorry to say this does not seem to be a new problem with 7.# I've had it with prvevious versions of operating system Right now I'm using a Apple wireless mouse and key board. Using the USB keyboard and mouse the same problem does not go away.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2. -
I have a Mac Book Pro with 10.6.8 and want to back up my files using a flash drive. It says I did it but when I tried to check on my other Mac - an I Mac with 10.5.8, thedata does not seem to be there. I cant see photos, etc.. It shows the backup as a file and shows various system info. but there are no photos or other files shown.
Thanks for any advise.
MikeA PowerPC Mac, if that's what it is, won't be able to see an Intel Mac's formatted data. Also ExFat formatting is not supported by 10.6.3 or earlier. I would try viewing the backup on another Intel Mac with at least 10.6.4. If it isn't there, then the backup never really took place. I much profer a hard drive with Carbon Copy Cloner.

My mac is becoming too slow. It takes long to open word documents, pdf files or excel documents or even safari. Can anybody suggest something? I have tried to reduce the number of open applications, but does not seem to work.
Hi ...
Checked to see how much free space there is on the startup disk lately?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.

If disk space is not the issue, booting in Safe Mode deletes system caches that may help.
A Safe Mode boot takes longer then a normal boot so be patient.
Once you see the Desktop, click the Apple menu icon top left corner of the screen.
From the drop down menu click Restart.
See if that makes a difference ... -
With Windows 7 I upgraded itunes to 11. Now in my itunes library, when I click on a song "original file could not be found" comes up. This happens with over 2000 songs, but it seems to be ones I recorded from cd's. Locate does not seem to work. Has anyone else had this problem?
Highlight a song that is supposedly missing, press CTRL+I to Get Info, say no when asked to locate the file, then look at the summary tab. Where does iTunes "think" the file should be? Where is it really? You may need to give a configuration file a minor tweak.

HELP! Serious problem: Time Machine does note seem to back up newer files
I have a serious Time Machine issue. I noticed that after the initial backup of about 110gb, it seems to stopped backing up recently added files. Like for example, I downloaded a file into my Desktop at 6 hours ago and the file is still there right now but when I go to Time Machine, the file is not in any previous hourly back ups even though some if them were taken after I added the files.
I also tried ripping a DVD and placed the file into my Movies folder, but the same thing happen. I tried "Back Up Now" to see if the files will be added, but the 700mb file does not get copied. I watched the system preferences and it only copied 5mb of file. Why is this happening?
Also, my when I first started Time Machine backups a few hours ago, my Documents folder has 34 files in it. It now has 48 files with files being added regualrly during the next few hours but when I looked at ALL the hourly backups, they are still showing that I have 34 files!!!
Please help. I have a 500gb External Hard drive that I formatted using GUID partition scheme. It does have a SuperDuper ackup of it of my Tiger. Do I have to reformat the drive and have Time Machine start on a completely new drive?
Thansk a lot!I have been having the same problem for some time now and only noticed it when I tried to recover a file only to find it had not been backed up. Brief details
* The initial backup (apprx 105GB) completes ok - I have checked this
* Subsequent new files are not added to the backup. I have checked this both via the Time Machine application and manually searching through the backup drive. I have also tried this with different types of files; mp4, xls, doc, text, email messages in mail etc. none get backed up. I have also tried amending an existing file but the amended file is not backed up
* Nevertheless the console log shows that the hourly back ups are being completed with no apparent problems
* I do not have any exclusions selected in Time Machine preferences
* I have not been able to replicate this consistently but occasionally after a reboot I get this console log message
12/26/07 8:23:36 PM /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd693 Event store UUIDs don't match for volume Macintosh HD II
12/26/07 8:23:37 PM /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd693 Node requires deep traversal:/ reason:kFSEDBEventFlagMustScanSubDirs|kFSEDBEventFlagReasonEventDBUntrustable|
HD II is my backup drive. Time Machine then appears to start a more extensive backup. I do not think it is a full backup as it takes no more than 10minutes. Once this finishes the backup then looks accurate with all files present. However the error then re-occurs and no new files are added to the backup
* I have spoken to Apple Care but no idea
* I have tried all of the following in no particular order; repair permissions; reformat the backup drive; delete .plist file; reset NVRAM; alternative drive; force a rebuild of the spotlight database; my host name does not include any odd characters etc etc
All very tedious...any insight greatly appreciated -
I have down loaded a track which was initially missing 1min 30 seconds. iTunes enabled me to reload the rack which is now complete on the PC. However, syncing with my Ipad2 does not seem to replace the incomplete version with the full version. Can anyone out there help?
Thanks SThanks for the response. Unfortunately, I've un-checked the track and re-synced the Ipad as suggested, but then re-checking and re-syncing han no effect. The track is still missing the final minute and a half or so. I've tried it twice, but the effect is the same.
Any other ideas? Would un-checking the entire music collection and staring again work, or is that a road to disaster? -
SQL Developer is not able to identify the Tnsnames.ora file
Hi,
I have installed the following in the laptop having Win XP:
1) Oracle 10gR2 Client software in the D: drive of laptop. Tnsnames.ora is located in this clients Network\Admin path. This client is used to access the databases on the other servers.
2) Oracle 10gR2 Database software in the E: drive of laptop. Right now there is not Tnsnames.ora file in this softwares Network\Admin path. This db software has been installed to create local databases in the laptop.
3) Oracle SQL Developer Version 2.1.1.64 is also installed in C: drive of laptop.
The problem which now I'm facing is that the SQL Developer is not able to identify the Tnsnames.ora file mentioned in the above point-1 which contains entries of databases on the different servers. Could you please help me out in solving this problem?
Thanks in advance.
MAKI forget what version I was using at the time, but when I had an ORACLE_HOME defined for the environment and TNSNAMES file defined in SQL Developer (different one than was in ORACLE_HOME), that I would see results from both tns files. I don't know if that is still the case. I have since dropped my ORACLE_HOME environmental variable.
