Unable to use SQL Plus (Windows 2003 x64 Server)

Hi all
I have some trouble with tnsname.ora ...
I have installed Oracle Client 10.2.0.1.0 with the ODBC Driver and SQLplus etc.
Now I have configured in the "Net Manager" some "Service Naming" as I did
on other servers before. Then I Test the connection in the "Net Manager" it
seams to work fine.
When I now try to connect in SQL Plus the following error comes up:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
I did already do this:
- Add "...\NETWORK\ADMIN" to the Path Variable of the server
- sqlnet.ora looks like:
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES)
- tnsnames.ora looks like:
MyName.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myDomain.net)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = DBSIDxx)
I am accessing like MyName.WORLD ...
What do I have to do to get this working ???
Thanks for any comments!
Best regards

1) Please verify that there is only one tnsnames.ora file on your system.
If there are several (other than in 'samples' directories), please make them all look the same and try again.
2) If not, please post the contents of your tnsnames.ora AND sqlnet.ora files.

Re-read your original message and noteiced you posted the tnsnames.ora stuff.
Your alias is 'MyName.world', therefore you want to access using the connect string such as
SQLPLUS system/[email protected]
If you want to use SQLPLUS system/password@myname (no .world) then either remove it from the alias or add the default_domain info in sqlnet.ora

How to configure windows 2003 x64 server to run CFUSION MX7

1.If you install Internet Information Services (IIS) on a
computer that is
running Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition, IIS must be
configured to run in
32-bit emulation mode. To do this, follow these steps on each
front-end Web
server that is running Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition:a.
Click Start,
click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
b. At the command prompt, move to the
%drive%:\Inetpub\Adminscripts
folder. Note that %drive% is the drive on which Windows
Server 2003 is
installed.
c. In the Adminscripts folder, type the following command,
and then
press ENTER:
cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64
1
Note The value "1" for Enable32bitAppOnWin64 specifies
32-bit mode.
The value "0" specifies 64-bit mode.
d. Type iisreset, and then press ENTER.
e. Close the Command Prompt window.

Thank you sir.
BTW, if this enables 32 bit emulation mode, does that mean it
runs both 32 bit & 64 bit extensions, or just 32 bit
extensions?

SQL Developer on Windows 2003 x64 Edition "failed to initialize..."

I am trying to run sqldeveloper on Windows server 2003 x64 and I get the following error:
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000018). Click on OK to terminate the application.
I get this error with the version with jre, and with the version without the jre.
I have Java 1.6 installed on that server (applet shows up under x86 control panels)
I can reproduce this on two different win 2003 x64 servers, but it works fine on a windows 2003 standard (32 bit)
Any idea how to fix this?
thanks.

This might not be the right place to post this question, but will give it a shot . . .

Connecting Oracle using SQL Plus in command window through LDAP settings?

Hi
Just like to know if it is possible to connect Oracle using SQL Plus with connection type as LDAP.
Generally we connect to Oracle in cmd window as
username/password@DBServiceName
Similarly is it possible to connect Oracle using SQL plus cmd window using LDAP configuration settings.
Eg:-
If my LDAP server is oid:123:456
Context is: cn=OracleContext,dc=abcdefgh,dc=com
DBService is: xyz
Regards
jc

Specify the -L command line option to SQL*Plus, i.e.:
sqlplus -L username/password@db @blah.sql
(this will prevent the second prompt for username/password if the initial login is unsuccessful for any reason, like an invalid password).

High swap file utilization - 11g on windows 2003 x64

Hi,
I'm running database 11.1.0.6 patch set 10 on
Windows Server 2003 x64 standard
HP DL380 dual quad core + 8GB RAM
2 x 72GB 15K SAS mirror for OS
6 x 72GB 15k SAS RAID-5 for data + logs (i know ideally logs need to move to a RAID-1 set etc)
dedicated mode
database is about 10GB (main set of tables about 1GB)
SGA + PGA 4GB (auto memory management)
server has been set to network application mode such that less mem is allocated to the system cache etc.
Large Page support has been enabled (not confirmed if this is working, any ideas how to?)
Looking at the page faults and page out perf mon stats it looks too high/ too much given the arrangement above. The majority of the page faults are coming from the Oracle.exe process. But I cannot explain why specially if Large Page is setup then the SGA etc should be locked in to RAM as I understand.
side note I was seeing similar behaviour on the older 10.2.0.1 DB that had same mem config for the same set of data.
Any ideas people?
Thanks

JA,
On the server, open Task Manager and then select the Processes tab. Make certain that it is configured to show the Page Faults column and click on the entry for the Oracle instance so that it is highlighted. Then, open a command prompt and start SQL*Plus with the /NOLOG command line parameter. Make note of the current value of Page Faults and then connect to the database instance using SQL*Plus using the SYS user account (or some other account). You will probably find that the Page Faults value jumped by about 302 as a result of the login, and the value just might jump again when you disconnect from the database. Keep in mind that each session connecting to an Oracle instance running on Windows will require at least 1MB of memory immediately on connection as an additional thread is created (assuming shared server is not used). If each memory page were 4KB in size (as is the standard in Windows), there would likely be at least 256 (1MB / 4KB) page faults for each login, and possibly the same amount per disconnect. With this in mind, I am not so certain that 500 page faults per second is a high value for a Oracle process running on Windows if users/applications are constantly connecting and disconnecting from the Oracle database instance.
To determine if there is a performance problem caused by memory utilization, what you may want to do is take a look at the PF Usage value on the Performance tab of Task Manager. This is NOT the page file usage, regardless of the warnings that appear in Enterprise Manager - this is total memory allocation including RAM and swap file usage. There is an interesting thread where I discovered the actual meaning of PF Usage here:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.databases.oracle.server/browse_thread/thread/b62c4d761cace2a6
If the PF Usage is considerably less than the amount of the RAM in the server (8GB RAM -> PF near 7GB is OK), you will likely be OK, as long as you do not attempt to move multi-gigabyte files around - doing so could cause short term memory starvation issues for Oracle. You might want to verify that the File and Printer Sharing option of the network card is set to "Maximize throughput for network applications" so that Windows will limit the memory used for file caching.

Can Rapid Installer be used in a Windows AMD X64 Environment?

Can Rapid Installer be used in a Windows AMD X64 environment to install 64-bit versions of EP 7.0/ESS/MSS, SAP Java AS, and MS SQL 2005; and if not, does Rapid Installer 32-bit have to be executed remotely from a 32-bit system?

Can v read a client text file using SQL*plus??

We have a requirement like this: We need to read a text file to find spelling mistakes. Problem is the file has to be always moved to the DB machine, which is a Linux box and then run a stored procedure which uses UTL_FILE. Now in order to show the spelling mistakes of the file the user will have to again copy the file with the spelling mistakses (output file) from Linux to Windows.
Is there a way to do it using SQL*Plus, where the text file is in the client machine???? Then users don't have to copy the file to and from the Linux box.

SQL*Plus is a client software and whatever code you write using SQL*Plus, it ultimately run on the server. So the answers to your question is "no".

Netweaver 04 on Windows 2003 x64 (amd64)

Hi all,
Can anybody tells me where I can find the corresponding Installation Master Software and the SAP Kernel 6.40 Unicode for installation on Windows 2003 x64 (amd64).
I can not find it on the SAP Marketplace myself.
On the PAM (Product Avalability Matrix) the software should be available but I can not find it.
Please help. It becomes very urgent.
Kind Regards

Hi Paul,
Normally you should find it on the following path:
(http://service.sap.com/swdc)
Download => Installations and Upgrades => Entry by Application Group => SAP NetWeaver => SAP NETWEAVER => SAP NETWEAVER 04 => Installation and Upgrade => Windows Server => <your DB>.....
Installation Master MS SQL (for example) for the Windows X64 is a CD named 51031282...
Hope you can find the one you are looking for....
Regards
Rolf
Ps.: If you can't see or find the right CD/DVD's it could also point to missing authorization on the Marketplace...

Windows 2003 x64

Hello, I use windows 2003 x64 where is installed itunes 10.5.2.11; with ipad2 no problems to sycronize data; but the iphone is not recognized from windows (is recognized only as imaging device). Any suggerstion found over internet don't run; if I move my iphone to another pc, running windows seven64 run correctly.
What I can do ?
Thanks

Hello,
Unless you find Windows XP 64 Bit Edition device drivers for the X220, it is likely many of the ThinkPad specific features will not work, or only provide basic functionality. You can always disable the Desktop Composition and Themes services to give the operating system a more Classic Windows feel.

Can I use SQL *Plus 11.1.0.7.0 to connect Oracle Express 10g

Hi guys:
I download "Oracle 11g ODAC *11.1.0.7.20* with Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio", trying to use SQL *plus to see if configuration is alright.
But after entering account/pwd, I got a error:

Hi EdStevens,
Following the instructions in previous post, I can connect with SQL plus (the database is on the same box* as your sqlplus client); I just enter sqlplus in windows console.
In addition, i am still curious about how SQL plus connect to a remote* box. Could you shed more light on that?SQLPlus connects to a remote db the same way any other app does. After all, sqlplus is just another client app.
It's all in the connect string. So say, at a command prompt you enter
$> sqlplus scott/tiger@mydbso in the above example, 'scott' is the user, 'tiger' is the password, and 'mydb' is the tns service name. Of course, the OS passes all that to sqlplus as a command line parameter. Internally, sqlplus makes a call to the tns layer and passes it the connect information it has. TNS will take a look at the tnsnames.ora file and find an entry for 'mydb', and from there it will get the name or ip address of the host server, a port number, and a service name. That information will be passed on down the network stack for routing. (If a name was provided instead of an ip address, the OS network stack will use whatever means are at its disposal - a hosts file, a dns lookup, or whatever, to get an ip address). The request will arrive at the specified host and placed on the specified port. If everything was configured correctly, there will be an oracle listener process monitoring that port. It will pick up the request and see if it recognizes the service name. If it does, it will spawn a user server process on a different port to complete the connection, then get out of the way and continue listening for more requests.
This is how it happens most of the time. There are a lot of other variants, but that's the gist of it.
More information can be found in the fine documentation at tahiti.oracle.com.

Logging into ORACLE 9I using SQL*PLUS.TNS Error

I have installed Oracle 9i for windows and am trying to login using SQL*PLUS
user: system
pwd: manager
Host String: BHURU
It says TNS could resolve service name.
I have all the services running in the admin monitor.
Am I missing something? Please advise.

Can you post your tnsnames.ora file contents and listener.ora contents here?
There may be tons of things wrong with the error actually,
ORA-12154:     TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
Cause:     A connection to a database or other service was requested using a connect identifier, and the connect identifier specified could not be resolved into a connect descriptor using one of the naming methods configured. For example, if the type of connect identifier used was a net service name then the net service name could not be found in a naming method repository, or the repository could not be located or reached.
Action:
- If you are using local naming (TNSNAMES.ORA file):
- Make sure that "TNSNAMES" is listed as one of the values of the NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile (SQLNET.ORA)
- Verify that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists and is in the proper directory and is accessible.
- Check that the net service name used as the connect identifier exists in the TNSNAMES.ORA file.
- Make sure there are no syntax errors anywhere in the TNSNAMES.ORA file. Look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters. Errors in a TNSNAMES.ORA file may make it unusable.
- If you are using directory naming:
- Verify that "LDAP" is listed as one of the values of the NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile (SQLNET.ORA).
- Verify that the LDAP directory server is up and that it is accessible.
- Verify that the net service name or database name used as the connect identifier is configured in the directory.
- Verify that the default context being used is correct by specifying a fully qualified net service name or a full LDAP DN as the connect identifier
- If you are using easy connect naming:
- Verify that "EZCONNECT" is listed as one of the values of the NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile (SQLNET.ORA).
- Make sure the host, port and service name specified are correct.
- Try enclosing the connect identifier in quote marks. See the Oracle Net Services Administrators Guide or the Oracle operating system specific guide for more information on naming.
