Unable to connect to database from windows command prompt

Hi All,
Im trying to connect to Oracle database from my windows command prompt, these are the steps I followed:
1) cd C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\client_1\sqlplus
2) sqlplus username\password@hostname:1521\service_name
I do get the error ORA-06401: NETCMN: invalid driver designator
I did try using the SQLPLUS \NOLOG
Connect username\password@hostname:1521\service_name
I still get the same error.
I did manually type all the commands to make sure no additional charaters coming and etc...How shall I overcome this...

Hi,
you need to make the necessary changes to the %odi%\bin\odiparams.bat config file, under the "Repository Connection Information" section so that startscen knows how to extract metadata from your repository.
You apparently have left the default settings to the Hypersonic demo repository. Is that the technology your repository is hosted on?

Unable to connect to database from D2K

Hi,
GoodDay, This is Ramesh. I have loaded both Oracle 9i & D2K in my PC. But i am getting some error message while trying to connect to database from d2k forms. I entered Usename, Password. The message is..
ORA-12203: TNS: Unable to connect to destination
The second time i entered both Username, Password & Database.
User Name: Scott
Passwors : tiger
Database: ORCL9i (SID name)
please let me know where i am lacking..?
Regards,
Ramesh.

Do you connect when you set username , passwd , database....????
If you can via another tool , for example sql*plus then simply , copy the particular setting tns alias , you use to connect to this db, from [ORACLE_HOME]\network\admin\tnesanames.ora and paste it to [DEV2000_HOME]\network\admin\tnsnames.ora

Pass UTF character literal from Windows command prompt

I'm trying to pass \u00fd (� - 0253) via the windows command line as a parameter to a java app. "DOS" is converting it to a superscripted 2. Any ideas on how to work around this? It works fine if I pass the parameter via a windows program.
Thanks

\00fd is "Latin Small Letter Y With Acute" according to my Unicode crib. But your DOS window doesn't use Unicode, it uses CP437 or CP850 depending on where in the world it thinks you live. (Both of them have the superscript-2 character at the FD code point.) I don't see the y-acute character anywhere in CP437, so if you're in North America (or maybe Britain too?) you can't do that. In CP850 the EC (decimal 236) code point is y-acute.
However you aren't out of luck in either case. There is a DOS command "chcp". If you type "chcp" at the command line it tells you what your code page is. If you type "chcp 850" at the command line it will change your code page to CP850, if it can.
(I am getting all this information from my MS-DOS 5.0 User's Guide and Reference, by the way. I may put it up for sale on eBay.)

Unable to connect to database from forms6i

i have installed form61 and PO8i on my machine and was working perfectly till yesterday.
but today i was able to log into the database but not through the forms.it give an ORA-12203unable to connect to the destination.
Please help in this issue.
I have installed a VC++ compiler today, will that be a problem for this issue...
Thanks in advance
VJ

Since you had installed f6i and o8i in the same m/c so obviously with different homes. It had been earlier working fine with both forms and oracle. And now you can connect from oracle db, But not forms. So the main reason can be that the listener is not started. So check if it is running. If not start the listener and check. If it works fine, if not then check if the tnsnames.ora file is there at the correct location in forms home dirctory. if yes then see, if the network protocal, address and port addresses in listener.ora in oracle home and tnsnames.ora entries in forms home net8 are correct. If not make the correct entries.
Check this, as there shall be a problem with it only as it was working earlier otherwise there can be an error in the network protocols. See if it helps

Did you literally go into your tns file and put all of your specific envirnmental specifications?
Is the listener up and running?
Are you using the right alias?
Hope this helps.

Did you install Oracle client on MDM server. If not please install it and revert with the result..
Please check SAP Note 1350635 - "Problem connecting to database from MDM console" & Note 1363797 -" Oracle connection problem".. Kindly also check the log in MDM console and revert with the result.
Also, Please check Configurations Settings as mention in [MDM installation Document|https://websmp209.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001668492008E] from Page no 42 to 45.

Upgrade SBO-COMMOM SQL - unable to connect to database

Dear Experts,
I'm trying to upgarde from SAP 2007 A PL-42 to PL-49.
I have currently got SQL2000 (for legend system) running under the instance name SERVER and i have installed SQL2005 (SAP uses this) with the instance name SERVER\SQL2005, both running on the same machine called SERVER.
When i try to upgrade the SBO-COMMON database, it installs the DI and reaches a point where it asks for:-
Database Server:-              (I input SERVER\SQL2005)
Database Name:-              (SBO-COMMON)
User Name:-                     (sa)
Password:-                      (password)
When i click the NEXT button, i get the error "unable to connect to database; verify that database TCP/IP port serice is started."
I have verified that the TCP/IP ie enabled,and running on port 1433.
Addidtional Information:
During installation, it tries to access c:\windows\system32\sqljdbc_auth.dll file, when i click the NEXT button, just before i get the TCP/IP error.
Would highly appreciate the help.

Asif

Unable to connect with Database server in MDM

Hi Experts,
I have installed the MDM server 7.1 on windows 64 bit box, but installed MDM console (32 bit).

Can anybody please help me out to fix the issue.
Thanks in advance,

do the following
You need to create tnsnames.ora file even on the host where MDM is installed and define Oracle database host and instance there. Then, MDM user needs to have access to oracle client libraries and needs to have access to this tnsnames.ora file as well. Once you set this up, it will work fine.

Unable to Connect to Database (after server has been re-started)

Hi, I use Essbase Admin Services 7.1.3 and the server was not responding, therefore our IT guys re-started it. Since then I am unable to connect to one of the applications. I have tried to start/Stop the application but it just says "Application did not start". There are 6 databases in this application altogether (3 data and 2 Currency). The application has been there for about 3 years (it holds historic sales data) and there has never been any problems with it. When I tried to Start the application, in the message panel at the bottom it says "Error: 1013015 Unable to Connect to Database (2003)". It's as if there is a problem with this 2003 database but the 2002 and 2004 database are OK. Has anyone ever had this problem and knows how to rectify it?? Thanks in advance. Sarah

It may be that the server restart corrupted the database. Go into database properties and uncheck the box start database with application and then try to restart the application. You can try database validation, or simply reload the database from backup. But you can get the application up and the rest of the databases up by decoupling the database restart from the application start. There will be a .xcp log file in your application directory (and possibly your database directory.) These might help Hyperion Support in identifying the cause of the problem. But the quickest solution would be to reload the database from backup. The serer and application logs can also provide help in identifying the problem. One of the keys is to determine why the server is not responding before restarting the server. It may be that a single application is the source of problem. Typical causes are unscheduled free space restructures, application loads of large databases, and an occasional rogue process. Rather than rebooting the entire box, or even restarting the Essbase server, the safest approach is to only kill the job that is soaking up the cpu cycles, causing the server to be unresponsive. This requires identifying the offending process (esssvr.exe) and killingit. Often that restores the rest of the system to operations, giving you time to focus onthe offending application. You learn thses things when you are pushing the server to its limits (or beyond). If it happens often, you need to do a serious performance audit of teh server and determine whether you need more power and/or memory. And in any case, you are less likely to encounter this sort of problem in the future if you try to limit applications to a single database. This will allow a better utilization of system resources. And also, it's a good idea to shut down applications that you are not going to be using for a while. Every loaded app takes system resources whether or not it is doing anything. So review your list of apps that start on startup and consider unloading apps after completing batch processing. Sorry about the long lecture, but I speak from somewhat painful experience. I hope that this will help you.
