To Find the instance name in RMAN catalog

Hi ,
I have rman catalog which got registered 150 databases. Am able to get the dbname,id for the 150 databases but not able to get the server name (host name) of the correspoding databases in catalog views as well as in db views.
Kindly revert us if you know any other analyisis or way to find the server names.
Regards
Krishnan

What does RMAN care if RAC is involved or not?
Oracle provides RMAN for backing up and restoring the database. RMAN enables you to back up, copy, restore, and recover datafiles, control files, SPFILEs, and archived redo logs. RMAN is included with the Oracle server and it is installed by default. You can run RMAN from the command line or you can use it from the Backup Manager in Oracle Enterprise Manager. The procedures for using RMAN in RAC environments do not differ substantially from those for Oracle single-instance environments. Refer to the Oracle Backup and Recovery documentation set for more information about single-instance RMAN backup procedures.

  • Where do I find the Instance Name for EPM Batch Script Utility?

    I am trying to find the Instance Name for the EPM Batch Script Utility. I have done the obvious...looked at the Deploy settings in EPM, but the Instance field is not even listed. I have tried 'Default', 'localhost', 'Planning', 'epmsystem1' and " " (nothing).
    Anyone know where I can look? The script will not deploy without this option (I have tried removing the field altogether). This is the error I am getting:
    2012-12-05 03:02:21,908 INFO Parameters(ApplicationName, InstanceName, ApplicationServer, HubProject, datasourceName, waitForCompletion, deployOption, RefreshOutline, CreateSecurityFilters)

    Thanks!

    Hi all,
    I referred Andy's suggestion to set both App Server name and instance name as PLANNING_LWA.
    It worked in Planning 11.1.2.3
    My deploy string set as followed:
    set bpmaserverurl=http://localhost/hyperion-bpma-server;
    set workspaceurl=http://localhost:9000/workspace;
    login;
    Execute Deploy
    Parameters(ApplicationName, InstanceName, ApplicationServer, HubProject, ClearAll, CheckIntegrity, waitforcompletion, purgeTransactions,  deployOption,  datasourceName,CreateOutline,RefreshOutline,CreateSecurityFilters,SharedMembersSecurityFilters,ValidateSecurityFilterLimit,Notes)
    Values ('HRPLN1', 'PLANNING_LWA', 'PLANNING_LWA', 'Planning', 'false', 'false', 'true', 'true', 'AppView','HRPLN_DS','false','true','false','false','false','HRPLN1 redeploy by batch client');
    Thanks Andy!!

  • How can I find the Host Name and Instance #

    I am having trouble finding the host name and instance #. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Kyle,
    Hope you are doing good.
    if it is the R/3 server, the easiest option would be to navigate to /nSm51 .  
    Hope this helps.

    I have tried from so many forms. This is so frustrating. Thank for everyone/anyone who wants to help. So this is what happened: I had to uninstall my previous sqlserver 2012(which worked great) for some reason, and I uninstalled everything from that download.
    Then I installed the trial edition of sql server 2012 (64 Bit) and It wouldn't connect to the database. (Error mentioned above.) My local DB is COWBOYS. (COWBOYS is also my computer name.) After this, I have tried downloading sqlexpress and sqlserver 64bit
    many times and cannot connect to my local DB. 
    How do I connect to my Local DB? 
    Also, I think this might help: (When I run sqlserve.exe, which I was able to find in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn, I get an error: Your SQL server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with(Error getting
    instance ID from name). Please uninstall then re-run setup to correct this problem.
    I would happily re install it, if it wasn't my 20th time.
    I don't have any remote connections, I don't use username/password, only window authentication. I work mostly on visual studio, but without able to store /retrieve data, I don't know how to survive.
    May be the solution is very simple, but I am too frustrated. 
    Some of the things I have tried:
    From a command prompt, enter one of the following commands:
    net start "SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)" OR 
    net start "SQL Server Agent(instancename)"(for instance)
    on my sql configuration, I cannot start anything because there is nothing there to start. I can post more details, if that would help. Also, some more details about the error:

    Any one that can help me, I will be greatful. Thank you so much. p.s. please ask me anything if you have any questions.

    It sounds like there are a couple things going on here.  First check if you have a successful install of SQL Server, then we'll figure out the connection issues.
    Can you launch SQL Server Configuration Manager and check for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) if default instance or SQL Server (other name) if you've configured your instance as a named instance.  Once you find this, make sure the service is started. 
    If not started, try to start it and see if it throws an error.  If you get an error, post the error message your hitting.  If the service starts, you can then launch SSMS and try to connect.  If you have a default instance, you can use the machine
    name in the connection dialog.  Ex:  "COWBOYS" where Cowboys is the machine name.  However, if you named the SQL Server instance during install, you'll need to connect using the machine\instance format.  Ex:  COWBOYS\Romo (where Romo
    is the instance name you set during install).
    You can also look at the summary.txt file in the SQL Server setup error logs to see what happened on the most recent install.  Past install history is archived in the log folder if you need to dig those up to help troubleshoot, but the most
    recent one may help get to the bottom of it if there is an issue with setup detecting a prior instance that needs to be repaired.

  • Find the Class Name in a static method

    Hi All,
    I am trying to find the class name inside the static main method. I want to write one main method that loads an instance of the class. Other folks have suggested tricks with the security manager or creating an Exception to look at the stack trace, but these methods don�t reflect the inheritance. I want SUBCLASSES to be able to run from the command line using the inherited main method.
    public static void main(String args[]){
          JPanel thisJPanel = (JPanel) Class.forName(????).newInstance();
    }Any Ideas

    I want
    SUBCLASSES to be able to run from the command line
    using the inherited main method.Someone pointed this out already but more directly, static methods are not inherited.
    The behavior you desire ca be achieved using the Factory pattern.
    The idea of being able to subclass an application is a little bizarre. Why don't you just do something like this:
    public static void main(String[] args){
        // check that there is at least one parameter 
        JPanel thisJPanel = (JPanel) Class.forName(args[0]).newInstance();
    }

  • Get the instance names of clips attached to a movieclip

    I want to get the instance names of all the cmovieclips that
    are attached to a movieclip.
    Is there a simple way to do this.
    I imagine this is something that can be done with AS3 but can
    it be done with AS2?
    regards J

    you're welcome.
    FYI: a for...in loop loops through all the accesible
    properties (in the broadest sense of the meaning, includes
    methods/functions and variables etc). Each time it finds one it (in
    this case) assigns the property name to the variable 'unknown'
    the code inside the loop just checks
    a) is it a property that references a movieclip instance and
    b) is it the same property name as the movieclip instance's
    _name property (this is to avoid listing additional references to
    the same movieclip instance that may be set up as variables in your
    McA's scope).
    I just read that and I'm wondering if it actually will help
    you understand... its quite complicated to describe,sorry...
    although its simple to understand once you get used to it. To learn
    you should experiment with a few for.. in loops on different
    objects and see what trace outputs you get.

    A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The

    How Can i solve this?

    1. Make sure SQL Server Service is running
    2. If a named instance, make sure SQL Server browser service is running
    3. Make sure SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections
    4. Examine the SQL Server error log for messages confirming that SQL is listening on the expected network interfaces and ports
    5. Test server connectivity with PING from the client machine
    6. Test port connectivity using TELNET or PowerShell to the server and port (from step 4) from the client machine.  For example
    a. TELNET <server-name> 1433
    b. PowerShell: 1433 | % { echo ((new-object Net.Sockets.TcpClient).Connect("YourServerName",$_)) "server listening on TCP port $_" }
    7. Check firewall settings if step 5 or 6 connectivity test fails

    Hi,
    As far as I understand what you are asking for I would suggest 4 data dictionaries that will help you to know the table name from the column names
    1. USER_TAB_COLS
    2. ALL_TAB_COLS
    3. DBA_TAB_COLS
    4. COLS
    These can give you detail information about the columns and respective tables at user, schema, dba level. Further information on the table can be found by querying ALL_OBJECTS table giving table_name as Object_name, or you can join the data dictionaries too.
    To know about various data dictionaries avalible in Oracle please query select * from cat;
    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    hi all,
    how to find the File name using the FTP Adapter with BPEL.
    Regards

    Found the solution for this.
    First In the mediator's routing rule use assign property $in.property.jca.file.FileName to $out.property.jca.file.FileName
    In the BPEL's receive activity go to the properties tab and get the property to a BPEL variable. That should do it.

  • How can I make the Instance name the same as the name of the Movie clip in an animation.

    Hi, I am an animator for a small game project and I have this really big problem. Even though I used flash for animation for a long time I am a newbie when it comes to something technical. I just received a request to make every movie clip that I use  to have a consistent <Instance name> in every frame of the animation. Only if they told me this earlier... Is there an easier way to make the <Instance name> the same as the name of the Movie clip used other than manually entering it. I have 16 characters with 12 body parts with 20 animations each with about 6-7 frames for each body part it will take me months and nightmares evey night to enter everything by hand. Please help me keep my sanity!
