Hi,
Ou Requirement is we want to connect to Oracle Applications using discoverer plus and discoverer viewer.
Application Server used : 10.1.2.0.2
Oracle Applications : R12 RUP4
We have installed application server 10g with OID and when we try to connect to oracle applications we are getting
A connection error has occurred.
- Failed to connect to database - Unable to connect to Oracle Applications database: invalid username/password.
Regards
Ketan

Hi,
I think better to check with your sysadmin or DBA on this, I had the same isuse before but Apps 11i with Discoverer, I talked to ERP sysadmin and worked fine.
Since applications userid cannot talk with Discoverer schema (eul10_us) and it should directly talk with APPS user and then APPS user can talk with Discoverer user.
To the best of my knowledge I provided.

Unable to connect to Oracle Applications database (afscpgcs) after clone

Hi,
I have just moved (clone using rapidclone) two of our 11.5.10.2 install from a solaris SPARC 8 to 10 . After the clone, while discoverer 10g works perfectly well in one environment, it is giving the error below in the another environment.
- Failed to connect to database - Unable to connect to Oracle Applications database (afscpgcs)
Notes:
1. For the 2 environments, nothing as changed apart from the hostnames.
2. The password has not changed on both - from source to targets.
3. This happens when launching discoverer 10g from Apps.... discoverer works well on it own if not launched from apps.
I raised a SR with oracle and the 2 things they said have not worked. they said
1. change signon password case parameter - but I cannot find that in the list of system parameters on our system.
2. The other note says apply patch 6430269 and I can confirm this patch has been on the system for sometime.
Please advise on this if you have come accross this before and you can help here.
Thanks

Thanks for your concern. I have used the notes you listed but no luck. One thing I have to point out here is that I have always cloned from solaris 8 to 8 for years without this problem. Now I am cloning from solaris 8 to 10 and the problems is on just one environment. The other is working well. The problem seems to be related to the apps password but the password has not changed at all. Also, I have tried to change the password to something else and ran autoconfig but no luck. Please help

Unable to Connect to Oracle 10gR1 database from JDeveloper 11g using OCI

We are migrating our application from OC4J to Weblogic server. As a part, I am trying to create a database connection in JDeveloper 11g (11.1.1.3.0 - Build JDEVADF_11.1.1.3.PS2_GENERIC_100408.2356.5660) to Oracle 10gR1 database. Previously I had Oracle 10g Client installed in the machine. Created a database connection using OCI driver and when I try to test connect, I got "Test Failed: no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path". I searched through Metalink and forums and one suggestion was to install Oracle 11g Client on the machine where Jdeveloper 11g is installed. I installed 11g R1 client and tried the same test connection using OCI driver. Now I am getting "Test failed: ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified" error.
The same database connection works good with Thin driver with both Oracle 10g client and 11gR1 client.
Previously I had Jdeveloper 10.1.3.2 and Oracle 10g Client and I was able to connect to database without any errors.
Could you provide me the steps for this or if I missed any steps?
Steps to Replicate:
For the error: no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path
1) Install JDeveloper 11g (With embedded Weblogic Server)
2) Install Oracle 10g Client on the same machine
3) Create a database connection in the "Application Resources --> Connection"
4) Use OCI driver. Enter the host details about the Oracle 10g R1 database
5) Test connect to the database.
ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified

4) Use OCI driver. Enter the host details about the Oracle 10g R1 database
5) Test connect to the database.
Note: Tried the same scenarios with Oracle 11gR2 client as well. It was not working at all.
Any ideas and pointers would be great.

1. will my problem get solved after i install oracle 11g client on my machine.Yes, your problem should get solved. The version of the Oracle 11g Client must match the version of the JDev's JDBC drivers. Alternatively you may install an Oracle 11g Client and replace JDev's Oracle JDBC drivers with these from the installed client. Please, read carefully my 1st posting above in this thread.
2. can i patch JDeveloper 11g on my machine to work with 10g client, or can i do the same with 10g client.You might succeed if you replace JDev's built-in JDBC drivers (which are 11g versions) with 10g versions, but I do not recommend you to try that because JDeveloper 11g and ADF 11g may be using some 11g features that do not exist in 10g drivers, so you may have problems.
I also have PLSql developer installed on my machine and it works well.PL/SQL Developer does not use JDBC drivers, so it is not an relevant example in this case.
My generall recommendation is to use Oracle JDBC Thin drivers. Oracle claimed that OCI drivers had better performance, but this was really true about earlier releases. Current Oracle 11g JDBC Thin drivers offer excellent performance and they offer all the features of the OCI versions (which was not true about earlier releases). In my opinion, the most important disadvantage of Oracle JDBC OCI drivers is that most versions have native memory leaks so all the RAM would get consumed after long application execution. The fact that WebLogic Server does not offer Oracle JDBC OCI drivers by default anymore says that Oracle discourages the usage of the OCI driver in favour of Thin driver.

Unable to connect to Oracle Applications through SYSADMIN

Hi,
I have just installed Oracle Applications 11.5.10 on windows machine.
everything is completed successfully. Now while connecing through SYSADMIN account, error description says " You have insufficient privileges for the current operation."
Please guide me to resolve the issue.
Regards,
Neeraj

Hi Neeraj,
To solved that issue we changed hostname, to eliminate the underscore character, you will need to do that if you are going Internet Explorer on your clients.
After that, you will need to follow a special procedure to recreate your context files in the Apps and database tiers.
Try to follow Note: 218089.1 "Frequently Asked Questions About Using AutoConfig With Oracle Applications Release 11i", sections Net Services and Database Connectivity.
Sorry, but I don't have in this moment the exact Note number that I followed to solve that issue.
HTH.
Kind regards,

Unable to connect to Oracle XE database

Hello
I have installed the XE database and it is running just fine. I have even been able to create a Discoverer EUL against it and I have no problems.
Today I downloaded Raptor and tried to create a new connection. I followed the instructions here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/project_raptor/howtos/howto_connect_xe.html
but these do not work. When I click Test ot Connect the system appears to try and connect but then I see this message in red "Status :Failure -lo exception: Got minus one from a read call"
Anyone have any ideas?
Best wishes
Michael

What OS are you running on? I connect to XE every day using v804 and our QA did full certification testing against XE.
I have one connection that is for system (named 'XE-system') and another for my user.
Hostname = 127.0.0.1
Port = 1521

Hi gurus,
What can i do to rectify this error. After my installation the oracle aplications worked very fine, but after i restart my system i get the error message below.Please help help help help.
"Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, changeOnOHSInstall and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

What is your OS? If you are running Windows, your database must be fully started before the applications processes start. This is usually accomplished by starting both the database and applications manually from the scripts provided with the apps.

Invalid username/password when running VSM1.3

Hi, I have the issue of invalid username/password when running VSM 1.3.
When I ran authentication.java , I got the error as follow:
oracle: Exception thrown from getService method of ServiceLocator class: Lookup error:javax.naming.AuthenticationException:Invalid username/password for current-workspace-app(admin);nested exception is: javax.naming.AuthenticationException:Invalid username/password for current-workspace-app(admin)
When running the web app, I got same message "Invalid username/password ".
I checked the database. There are 4 records for admin,apparelowner,electowner and guest.
My oracle db has japanese character set.
I have read all the threads about the topic of VSM.
But unfortunately I didn't find a clear conclusion and solution for this issue.
Is it an issue of locale? Really appreciate your reply.

JAVA SCRIPT application: Invalid username/password combination. If you continue to get this error, try entering your email address as your username.

Every time I start up Firefox, I get the following:
JavaScript Application
"mfernandez1957" Invalid username/password combination. If you continue to get this error, try entering your email address as your username.
What do I do?
Another issue is hang ups, I mean every few seconds it hangs up and I get (Not Responding), which is frustrating when you're entering data or whatever and in the middle it freezes so then you have to go back and retype stuff that never got entered. It even hangs right out the gate, I get (Not Responding), I mean, before Firefox is even fully loaded, it hangs, it even hangs (though considerably less frequently) with all my plug ins currently disabled. So that's another issue.
If y'all can help, I would be grateful.

hello, please try to [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] and see if this can address the issue...

"ORA-01017 invalid username/password: logon" --- Help Please !!!

Hello Peter,
Sorry for sending an unexpected mail.
I am stuck and really want your help. I have seen your email address on OTM website.
Aim: To run the JAVA code samples provided in Oracle 9i DATA MINING suite
on windows 2000.
I have installed Oracle 9i enterprise edition and
also Oracle 9i Data mining (ODM).
I have lot of problems in username/password authentication.
everytime I run the ODM setup, irrespective of the default
name/password
which is ODM/odmpw it says "ORA-01017 invalid username/password: logon"
I was just working on the Oracle 9i DataMining installation and found something really interesting
I was wondering if you can solve this:
1. I created user SCOTT and ODM using SQL Plus queries by logging system/manager.
and when I typed "select username from dba_names" it gave me ODM and SCOTT as
users and hence I was happy.
2. Then I uninstalled DATA MINING suite and reinstall it thinking this time it should
get ODM/odmpw as username and password as and DBA user/password being
system/manager. When uninstalling DATA MINING suite ODM user gets dropped
and when reinstalling ODM suite, it never make ODM user back in Oracle 9i database.
Hence it is not finding ODM user anymore and hence "ORA-01017 invalid username/password: logon"
error occurs.
Now can you tell me what can be done in order to make the ODM recreate when installing
DATA MINING suite.
Please reply me as I am badly stuck.
I at least know why problem is occurring now looking for solution.
Thanks
Nishant
