WebDB Listener and tnsnames settings?

Since I am new to the world of Oracle, I am struggling to get
WebDB (2.0) working with Oracle (8.0.5) on RH 5.2 Linux.
The installation works perfectly, and I can connect to the
administration pages via my browser. However, when I attempt
to create a site, the progress bar gets to about 10% and stops
(I have left it over-night with no change). Looking at the
process table, I noticed one of the oracle processes zombied
on me.
I suspect that I am missing correct configuration in listener.ora
and tnsnames.ora. Could someone post (or email) an example for
me please?
Regards,
-Matthew

Dynamic registration feature is available since Oracle 8i. The registration is performed by the PMON process of each database instance that has the necessary configuration in the database initialization parameter file. Dynamic service registration does not require any configuration in the listener.ora file.
see Oracle documentation

Help on Listener and Tnsnames.ORA

Hi guys,
I just installed Oracle Discoverer Admin Ed Rel 4 recently and i can't connect to Discoverer as well as SQL+ due to listener and tnsnames problem. Can you pls. help me to configure the .ORA files needed for the connection. I was trying to build database and connections local to my laptop. Is this possible using TCP-Loopback?
Appreciate any help...
Thanks.
Enzo

There's another possible problem on the Windows platform: Database and Discoverer are installed in different Oracle homes, many people configure the sqlnet files inside the database's ORACLE_HOME, which are not read automatically by the other home(s). So solution is to copy all configuration files to ORACLE_HOME\network\admin of all ORACLE_HOMEs OR to set TNS_ADMIN, which points to one central location.

How can I config listener and tnsnames for 2 instances?

Now I can create 2 instances on single machine but I can't config listener and tnsnames for them.
Every time that I reconfig tnsnames, the newer is available but the old is unavailable. For example, there are instance A and instance B. When instace A can be connected instance B can't be connected. The error message is "ORACLE not available", although instance B is already started.

Insert into listener.ora
after the characteristics of
first database
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = <global_dbname>)
(ORACLE_HOME = <oracle_home>)
(SID_NAME = <second_sid>)
Copy Paste the sid_desc of your first db
and insert it with the second sid
lsnrctl restart
and the outputs messages will show you
two instances and the extproc.

How configure correctly Listener and TNSNAMES

Hi to All,
This is my scenario.
Actually I have 2 machine under Linux, the SERVER01 and SERVER02.
1) On both is installed Oracle DB Version 9.2.0.4.0
2) On SERVER01 is installed Apache and PHP
3) On SERVER01 run an application PHP that use a DB located on the same server.
This is the LISTENER:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (SID_NAME = orcl)
      (ORACLE_HOME = /home/oracle/OraHome1)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS_LIST =
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = server01.lan)(PORT = 1521))
      )and the TNSNAMES is
orcl =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = server01.lan)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SID = orcl)
)Now I need configure Listener and TNSNAMES in order to use with my Application on SERVER01 another DB (for example SID = MYDB2 and alias = MYDB2) located on SERVER02 (IP 192.168.99.98).
I have tried with this Listener and this TNSNAMES:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (SID_NAME = orcl)
      (ORACLE_HOME = /home/oracle/OraHome1)
    (SID_DESC =
      (SID_NAME = MYDB2)
      (ORACLE_HOME = /home/oracle/OraHome1)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS_LIST =
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = web.server01.lan)(PORT = 1521))
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.99.98)(PORT = 1521))
)But when I restart the listener this error is returned:
TNS-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
TNS-00515: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
Can someone help me to configure correctly the listener and resolve my problem ?
Thank You and best regards.
Gaetano

(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = server01.lan)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = server01.lan)(PORT = 1521))server01.lan doesn't look like a valid hostname to me. Were you able to ping to this hostname?

How to configure listener and tnsnames.ora on 10g version

how to configure listener and tnsnames.ora on 10g version

If you are on linux platform, on command prompt execute netmgr and configure listener fromt there. Or go to $oracle_home/network/admin/listner.ora write the following
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
For tnsnames.ora write the following
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
)

Setting the listener and tnsnames.ora

Hi,
I have two node cluster database 10.2.0.4 on Linux. Someone messed up with the tnsnames file and also the local,remote listener setting are gone during the switchover.
Now I just want to replace the new tns entries,listener entries, set the local/remote listener and then register the local/remote listener. During these changes it will not affect the applications, but just want to know is there any specific steps which I have to keep in mind.
Thank you.

Hi
Did you not back them up? :-)
The answer to your question is yes. Basically, you need your listener referenced in the listener.ora for each node, then you need to reference those listeners in your tnsnames.ora - one for your local listener and another for your remote listener. A good starting point will be what you've got in your LOCAL_LISTENER and REMOTE_LISTENER parameter - that will show the names of the entries you need to create in the tnsnames.ora. I have all entries in the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora on both nodes just for simplicity but you don't have to do that.
Any idea what port you used for your listener? The default 1521?
A couple of examples from my test system:
listener.ora (we use port 1550 by the way):
LISTENER_DEVDB_NODE1 =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node1-vip)(PORT = 1550)(IP = FIRST))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node1)(PORT = 1550)(IP = FIRST))
tnsnames.ora
LISTENER_DEVDB_NODE1 =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node1-vip)(PORT = 1550)(IP = FIRST))
LISTENER_DEVDB_NODE2 =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node2-vip)(PORT = 1550)(IP = FIRST))
LISTENERS_DEVDB =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node1-vip)(PORT = 1550)(IP = FIRST))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node2-vip)(PORT = 1550)(IP = FIRST))
So our local listener is LISTENER_DEVDB_NODEn for each and REMOTE_LISTENER is LISTENERS_DEVDB on each node.
Hope that helps. Any further questions let me know....
cheers,
Mark

Adcfgclone.pl dbTechStack on Target DB removes listener and tnsnames files

Hello:
I am doing a first-time clone from my PRD to my TST instance, and have undergone the following steps:
1. perl adpreclone.pl dbTier on Source DB
2. perl adpreclone.pl appsTier on Source AppTier
3. Copy APPL_TOP, COMMON_TOP, ORACLE_HOME, IAS_ORACLE_HOME from Source AppTier to Target AppTier.
4. Run perl adcfgclone.pl dbTechStack on Target DB.
At this point is where I start running into issues. The dbTechStack deletes/recreates the tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora, and listener.ora files, and the DB can no longer startup. The below is in the logfiles. Am I doing something wrong? I guess the issue is not so much with it deleting/recreating the files, as it is with the values it puts into the files (i.e. DB port = 3001)

Meaning of sqlnet, listener and tnsnames

I am a newbie.
what is the purpose of sqlnet.
what is meaning of i the listener:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
what is the meaning of in tnsnames:
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = PLSExtProc)
This is a windows 10g database on my laptop.
I am getting error message when connecting using Toad:
ORA-12514 - tns Listener could not resolve service name given in connect descriptor
Thank You....................

first, open the net manager assistant, and add you database to the services of your listener, after this check your tnsnames.ora file, to see if the database service is on the file, for more information, search in the database documentation chapters about Oracle Net.
And sqlnet.ora, is the file that recognize the way you will connect to the database, try to read, the Oracle Databas 10g Administrator's Guide.

Configuring listener and tnsnames

I have installed Oracle 10g Database, Oracle AS Infastructure, Oracle AS Middle Tier on the same machine. Can anyone tell me how to configure the single listener for all the 3 Oracle Products.

It would be easier to help you if you provided OS and Oracle versions...
Anyway, you shouldn't need any particular configuration : just start the listener from the highest Oracle version involved (probably the database).

Debugging WebDB listener?

Hello,
for customer support I maintain a (frozen) development environment using Forms 6i and WebDB listener on Win2K. This has been stable for years... After recent installation of UMTS hard- and software suddenly the connection between WebDB listener and JInitiator 1.3.1.17 gets broken. I am able to connect to the forms server, but the JAR files are no longer downloaded correctly. They cannot be cached anymore:
Downloading http://dbmw1:88/forms60java/f60all_jinit.jar to JAR cache
java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer: JVM_recv in socket input stream read
at java.net.SocketInputStream.socketRead(Native Method)
at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(Unknown Source)
WARNING: Unable to cache http://dbmw1:88/forms60java/f60all_jinit.jar
connectMode=Socket
serverHost=dbmw1
serverPort=9000
Turning off caching does not solve the problem as certain classes are not found.
I see that the above JAR file is transferred to the IE cache with the correct size, but not to the JInitiator cache. The WebDB listener creates many temporary files in C:\ where they did not show up before, one file having the size of the desired JAR file.
I tried several things to track down the problem:
1. Run SysInternals RegMon and FileMon -> no further hint what might be wrong.
2. Deinstall UMTS software -> problem persists.
3. Reinstall JInitiator -> did not help.
4. Twist settings for JIT and caching -> did not help.
5. Increase debug levels with JInitiator -> did not yield useful information.
6. Increase logging information of WebDB listener -> same result.
7. Debug running listener process with WinDbg -> did not work.
8. Install UMTS stuff on other machine and track installation with InCtrl5 -> Critical changes could not be identified. Some DLLs installed, some REG keys modified (TCPIP service).
Did anyone experience similar problems with WebDb listener? Especially the temporary files in C:\ are suspicous. I know that the WebDB listener solution is outdated and I might try to get Apache working with Forms 6i but I hope to find that small screw that needs to be twisted half so that my environment will be operable again. And no, reverting my system on behalf of a tape backup is not a valid solution as I depend on the UMTS networking for the future.
Thank you in advance,
Lars

WebDB Listener service Forms6i/windows2003

I have Insatled forms6i on server Windows2003 without any problem.
When I run the Oracle Insataller he show me that "Forms Web CGI" is instaled.
But In control panel Idon't have the service Oracle Webdb Listener, and in D:\oracle\oraforms\bin I don't found the wdblsnr.exe!!!
The forms that I isntall I downlaod it from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/forms/index.html
Some one can help?

You'll need to edit the webdb files manually.
But you should probably just install the 9i version of Forms and work with the supplied OC4J instead.

How to write the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora

Hi, there
I store my oracle database in the machine A. In the machine B,
it only install the oracle without create database. How should
I write the
listener.ora and tnsnames.ora? So that the machine B could
acces the database which store in the machines A.
Could you give me a simple example and with some description.
Thanks you very much!!

1 - you can simply copy the files from the server to the client.
If they are correct, it must work fine
2 - Follow the examples inside the
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/samples
3 - Follow my examples:
I will try to make it simple:
The server must have the listener.ora. The client does not need
it if you don't have a database there.
I cannot tell you what is mandatory in the file, and what is not.
The listener.ora has the interface (addr or name)
to listen, the port/proto, and some info about your database
($ORACLE_HOME and Name).
#--- Listener.ora -- my minimal settings ---
LISTENER =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL= TCP)(Host=Server)(Port= 1521))
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL= IPC)(KEY = ORCL))
STARTUP_WAIT_TIME_LISTENER = 1
CONNECT_TIMEOUT_LISTENER = 10
TRACE_LEVEL_LISTENER = OFF
TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT=OFF
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST=(SID_DESC=
(SID_NAME = SACS)
(ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/805)))
#---- end of listener.ora ---
Both machines can, and should have similar TNSNAMES.ORA:
tnsnames.ora has the address or name of the server, and the Name
of the database you wish to connect to.
#--- tnsnames.ora --- minimal.
ORCL = (DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host=Server)(Port =
1521)))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = SACS)))
#--- end of tnsnames.ora ---
And finally sqlnet.ora, that is very usefull for setting secure
networks or
just logging for looking for errors. You can also set your
keepalive timeout.
#--- sqlnet.ora
TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT = OFF
names.directory_path = (TNSNAMES)
SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME = 10
#-- end of sqlnet.ora --

Oracle 10g I don't have the files listener.ora, tnsnames.ora and sql.ora

Hi folks,
I uninstalled my Oracle 10g and when I re installed I got success, but when I went to the folder \network\admin didn't have the files listener.ora, tnsnames.ora and sql.ora. I have been trying during more than one month start my listener only because I need access the Oracle database from my Java application and I got the message:
java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
As additional information, I got no problem to access the SQL*Plus.

Thanks ALL, I GOT IT, but I used other solution.
Since I installed and uninstalled the Oracle several times, it keeps also many different Services for the listener. I don't know why, it didn't create a Service for my actual instalation with its path. In other words, all the services remained in the services.msc panel, had the path that was already removed from the Windows folder.
Then what I did, was that I picked one service, took its name (OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListener), went to regedit to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListener] and simply changed the image path that was setted for the one that was removed (C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db_2\BIN\TNSLSNR ) for mine that is installed right now
(C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db_1\BIN\TNSLSNR). Nothing more and finally works.
I have tried something in the services.msc panel before, as you can see in this forum at the thread "I can't start listener in the Control Painel/Admin Tools/ Services", but I never got
success.
Appreciate your time!!

Listener.ora and tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora

Hello newbie here, trying to look into simple RAC setup with 2 nodes (A.this.com, B.this.com), one service (PROD.this.com), one listener and one instance on each node (listener PRODlist1 using instance PRODinstance1 on node A, listener PRODlist2 using instance PRODinstance2 on node B), one database (ORCL).
db global db name = orcl.this.com
I would like loadbalancing=on, with TAF basic (no preconnect, retries 10, delay 5.)
With dynamic service registration.
What should the tnsnames.ora and listener.ora and sqlnet.ora look like?
Have read all sorts of literature, getting confused...

I post my sample configuration here:
DBA1.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(FAILOVER=ON)
(LOAD_BALANCE=ON)
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.1.1)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(BACKUP=DBA2)
(SERVICE_NAME = DBA.WORLD)
DBA2.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(FAILOVER=ON)
(LOAD_BALANCE=ON)
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.1.2)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(BACKUP=DBA1)
(SERVICE_NAME = DBA.WORLD)

Listener.ora and Tnsnames.ora created in a different location

Hi All,
I have both the files i.e Listener.ora and Tnsnames.Ora in a location called D:\OraHome_1 and not in D:\OraHome_1\Network\Admin !! Also I do not have the sqlnet.ora file in either of these two locations.
Though conn sys/pswd@sid is working fine and DB is also up and running, "conn / as sysdba" is not working. I would like to restore these files in their actual location and make "conn / as sysdba also working".
Thanks in advance

Is perhaps TNS_ADMIN set to d:\orahome_1 ?where do i check this parameter ?
What does output of following tell youc:\> tnsping sid
C:\WINNT\system32>tnsping sid

Used parameter files:
Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 'complete host name')(PORT = 1521))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = SID)))
OK (30 msec)
***NOTE*** this leaves a blank space when it says 'Used parameter files:' Isn't this unusual ....!!
You may not need the listener.ora - it is kinda "optional". Not sqlnet.ora either. There are defaults to survive on.That's fine but I still would like to know why these files got created in a directory different from oraclehome\network\admin?

WebDB Listener and tnsnames settings?
