Using VPN to connect to Windows XP server running Oracle Database

Trying to connect to a hotel PMS system (Micros Opera) through my mac. The system runs through internet explorer on PC and is based on an Oracle Database. The DB stores both the data and application. I have it set up and working via VPN in Parallels, but still have not been able to make it work on the mac side. All I needed to do in Parallels was add the VPN connection, direct IE to http://operettaserver and everything worked perfectly.
I have a feeling it has something to do either with browser compatibility or ports. On windows, it runs best in IE, but will load in Firefox. Can't get it to load in Firefox or Safari on the Mac side (even when I plug the computer directly into the network). The VPN connection seems to be OK on the Mac -- when i type the local IP it redirects to the server, but the login page does not open. I can, however, access shared folders.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be the issue? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
JK

It looks like a file transfer protocol issue here. Which is the OS on the server? Is it Mac or Windows.
You can try this Apple Support article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=ServerAdmin/10.5/en/c1ns5.html

How to connect to a Sql server from Oracle using db link

Hi All,
Does anybody have any idea about how to connect to a sql server from oracle database using db link to syncronize the data? I need to pull the data from Sql server table to Oracle tables and relay messages back to the sql server.
Thank you,
Praveen.

we have 2 products - DG4MSQL and DG4ODBC.
DG4ODBC is for free and requires a 3rd party ODBC driver and it can connect to any 3rd party database as long as you use a suitable ODBC driver
DG4MSQL is more powerfull as it is designed for MS SQL Server databases and it supports many functions it can directly map to SQL Server equivalents - it can also call remote procedures or participtae in distributed transactions. Please be aware DG4MSQL requires a license - it is not for free.
Check out Metalink and you'll find notes how to configure both products.

Sun Solaris Server Running Oracle 9i

If I am running Oracle 9i, what version of Oracle can I install on my MS Windows desktop to access it. Should I purchase and install Oracle 9i Client? Is there a free download available? My Oracle 9i includes Application Server and the regular CD packs.
We also have a Windows NT server running Oracle 8i. Same question to access it, for a PC must I install Oracle 8i Client? Is there Oracle client software I can get that will interface with the 9i and 8i servers?

I'm also wondering about 10g's ASM. Is that
something recommended. We have alot of in-house
hardware expertise, and the idea of using Automated
Storage Management seems too simplistic at first
glance.It sounds like you have SAN experts.
ASM simply compensates for
1) the need for a clustered file system in the RAC case; and
2) SAs and Storage Admins 'experts' who recommend stuff like RAID 5 as being best for a database (as compared to 1+0) and then argue that the SAN is great because of the huge cache ... not realizing that the cache is compensating for the RAID 5 deficiencies.
You see, ASM simply provides you with a file system in the case when no file system is available (raw disk). It can complement, or replace, the SAN environment.
I strongly encourage you to look at the ASM manual supplied with 11g in depth. The conclusion is pretty common, and pretty commonly wrong. However, as with everything else in Oacle, the only true answer is 'it depends'. (Docs are available at http://docs.oracle.com or http://tahiti.oracle.com)

I use VPN to connect to my school. FX 3.6 worked great, FX 4 b not.

Hello there,
I use VPN to connect to my school, it used to worked great with my previous version of FX 3.6 in Windows XP.
I am now using a new PC with Windows 7 and FX 4 beta, but VPN would not work. I installed JAVA successfully but this did not solve the problem. VPN at my school uses JAVA or ActiveX. Please advise.
Thanks.

Hi
If you're trying to connect using the server's name you have to know which host server to use to resolve the name. If you don't know simply use its IP address:
eg: instead of: smb://servername
use: smb://IPaddress (this would be the private non-routable IP address)
This should work? Depending which VPN Method you're using to Tunnel to the host network and how the host network is configed it may not do name resolution that well.
If it used to work in the past it may have been because a static entry for the host network's DNS Server was placed in your Network Preferences Pane? Or if your connection was via PPTP or L2TP appropriate LAN settings were assigned once the connection was made to the host site? In other words a set of IP addresses matching the host site's LAN IP topology.
Perhaps the current method you're using now of building the VPN Tunnel is via IPSec IKE/ISKAMP? In which case you may have to 'tell' your remote network which DNS Server to use at the host site for name resolution.
A possible reason why it 'works' for the Windows side is because name resolution - most of the time - gets by without using fully qualifiable domain names. For example pinging an IP address in DOS to find a name works (most of the time) if you simply supply just the server name. This is not necessarily the case on the mac.

OS X client connecting to Windows 2003 Server SMB

My OS X 10.6.7 clients are connecting to Windows 2003 Server SMB share. They open files and edit them. Strange thing is that in Windows 2003 Server Open Files the files opened are listed like this:
filename.tiff:AFP_Resource
and the user is unable to save the file to the same location.
Anyone else experienced the same problem?

Hello,
Please make sure you change RemoteServer with the computer name of the intended SQL Server server.
Make sure the SQL Server instance have enable TCP/IP and Named Pipes protocols. Use the following article to enable them:

Running oracle database xe (express edition) on windows server 2008 r2

Is it supported to run Oracle Database XE on Windows Server 2008 R2?
Database XE is only supported as 32-bit. Current builds of Windows Server 2008 only come in x64 configurations.
Here are the Database XE system requirements for windows:
[http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18803/toc.htm]
The docs say that 32-bit windows is required, yet they also say that windows server 2008 is supported.
Windows Server 2008 R2 came out in 2009, and in R2 they eliminated 32-bit OS (though there is the WOW64 subsystem to run 32-bit programs within the 64-bit OS).
See:
- [Wikipedia page about windows server 2008 with info on R2|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Server_2008#Windows_Server_2008_R2]
- [Wikipedia page on "windows 32-bit on windows 64-bit"|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WOW64]
Thanks,
Matt

Hello Matt,
Is it supported to run Oracle Database XE on Windows Server 2008 R2?No.
The docs say that 32-bit windows is required, yet they also say that windows server 2008 is supported.So this means that only 32bit versions of 2008 will be supported.
Windows Server 2008 R2 came out in 2009, and in R2 they eliminated 32-bit OS (though there is the WOW64 subsystem to run 32-bit programs within the 64-bit OS).Which is probably why 2008 R2 is not supported.
You can either take the VM approach and install a 32 bit Windows or 64 bit Linux host, or you can queue in the list of persons waiting for a 64 bit Windows release. See the following thread for details (and the queue) for the latter: {thread:id=2277728}

Move database from server running Oracle 11G to server running Oracle 12c

I'm trying to find out the easiest way to migrate a database from a server running Oracle 11G to a server running Oracle 12c. I have tried using RMAN's duplicate database command but have run into far too many issues when trying to setup both servers before running the duplicate command. If someone could provide some clear guidance on configuring both servers for the RMAN Duplicate command then that would be great. The other thing I have tried is performing a cold backup of all the files for the database (control files, data files, etc.). Copying them to the new server and then recreating the control file to include the correct location and names for the datafiles and redologs. After recreating the control file the database will not start up. I'm suspecting this is due to the version differences. If you can provide me clear (ie. migration for dummies) instruction for getting either of these methods to work it would be greatly appreciated. I'm also open to any other method you can think of to achieve what I'm trying to accomplish. Thanks, Paul Noyes

How to connect to Window 2003 server using "connect as"

How can I set up Lion to easily connect to specified shares in the windows 2003 server. I want to authenticate as a user other than the one I am logged into on my Macbook? I am setting this up for teachers in a school. The macbook may be used by multiple teachers. Best way (simplest) please.

Hi
Let's pretend the Windows Server has an IP address of 10.10.10.254
Go Menu > Connect to Server > smb://10.10.10.254. When prompted enter the account credentials of a user (username and password) that exists on the Windows Server. Alternatively you could use cifs://10.10.10.254. Either one will do. Assuming no 'silliness' on the Windows Network Administrator's part the share should mount.
For ease of connectivity afterwards you could tick the 'remember password using keychain manager' box. Personally I find keychain manager more trouble than it's worth. However you deal with this as you see fit. If it's multiple users using the same workstation I would not enable the option.
Once mounted you can view the Server Share on the user's Desktop by enabling the option in the Finder. It should appear as a blue-ish drive icon on the Desktop. Add the icon in that User's Login Items in the Accounts Preferences Pane. Think of it a little like the Windows equivalent of "mapping a network drive".
Next time that user logs into their local account and provided the workstation is connected to the same network, the share point should mount.
You could also or alternatively drag the share icon to the right hand side of Dock. Click on it to re-connect to the share after you've disconnected from it.
HTH?

Establishing Palm Desktop 4.1.4 connectivity on Windows 2003 Server - using m500

Admittedly, this is a legacy problem solution. I was told by tech support that Palm could not support the m500 on Windows 2003 Server. Via another connectivity solution, I learned that the pnp services needed to connect the palm m500 to my Windows 2003 server could be established. I went to the link:
Installing SSDP and UPNP services under Windows 2k3
(the link url is: http://alantechreview.blogspot.com/2008/03/installing-ssdp-and-upnp-services-under.html)
followed the procedure, then installed Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and was able to hotsync my m500 to that instance of Palm Desktop.
Hope this helps someone.

Using IPSec to connect from Windows 2012 to a Sonicwall

In order to establish an IPSec connect from a Windows 2012 Server to a SonicWall, you must first connect to the sonic wall via L2TP or PPTP?
Can someone confirm this is correct?
Thanks.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
As per my research, generally when we are implementing IPsec connection we use PPTP as a connection method. PPTP, L2TP, and SSTP depend heavily on the features originally specified for Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). PPP was designed to send data across dial-up
or dedicated point-to-point connections. For IP, PPP encapsulates IP packets within PPP frames and then transmits the encapsulated PPP-packets across a point-to-point link. PPP was originally defined as the protocol to use between a dial-up client and a network
access server.
