What's wrong with my listener.ora?

Hello.
I must say I've never understood how listener.ora works (it used to work but someone modified it), but by now it'd be enough to know what's wrong with this:
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC2))
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = zippo)(PORT = 1522))
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = CSR2)
(ORACLE_HOME = /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0)
(SID_NAME = CSR2)
My problem is that when I try to connect from my PC "sqlplus csr_admin@csr2/csr" I get "ERROR: ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve service name"
This is my entry in my local tnsnames.ora:
CSR2.world =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = zippo)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = CSR2)
An this, the entry in the entntry at the server's tnsnames.ora:
CSR2 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = zippo)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = CSR2)
Release 9.2.0.3.0
Thanks in advance.

It's funny but the date I posted this topic isn't OK (more than 3 years ago)

    I Need to know what's wrong  with my iPod 5. it turn itself off this morning when I was listening to music. The iPod is new I bought it 35 days I even have the receive to prove that is 100% mine and not stolen.. Please help me I work really hard to save the money for it and now I can use it is not fair.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • What's wrong with this function

    What's wrong with this Function(PL/SQL) in this formaula column definition in Reports 6i
    function currdateFormula return Date is
    curr_date date;
    begin
    select to_char(sysdate, 'DD-MM-YYYY') into curr_date from dual;
    return(curr_date);
    end;
    I get the following error in compiling
    REP-1401. 'currdateformula'.Fatal PL/SQL error occured. ORA-01843 not a valid month.
    The SQL select to_char(sysdate, 'DD-MM-YYYY') from dual; worked well in SQL Plus prompt.
    I got a clean compile when i use just sysdate in the function (see below).
    function currdateFormula return Date is
    curr_date date;
    begin
    select sysdate into curr_date from dual;
    return(curr_date);
    end;
    Appreciate your help

    hello,
    what you are trying to do :
    fetch the current date and return it as the result of the formula-column.
    what you are actually doing :
    fetch the current date, convert it to text, assign this text to a date-variable which causes an implicit type-conversion.
    in your case you create a date-string with the format dd-mm-yyyy. the implicit conversion then tries to convert this string back to date using the NLS settings of your session. depending on your NLS_LANG and NLS_DATE_FORMAT this might work, if your session-date-format is dd-mm-yyyy which obviously it is NOT as you get the error.
    what you should do :
    select sysdate into curr_date from dual;
    this fetches the sysdate and stores it in your date-variable. there is no type conversion needed what so ever.

    Hi, everyone:
    when I insert into table, i use the fellowing SQL:
    INSERT INTO xhealthcall_script_data
    (XHC_CALL_ENDED, XHC_SWITCH_PORT, XHC_SCRIPT_ID, XHC_FAX_SPECIFIED)
    VALUES (SELECT TO_DATE(HH_END_DATE||' '||HH_END_TIME,'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS'), HH_SWITCHPORT, HH_SCRIPT,'N'

    For starters, an insert select does not have a values clause.

    ...and why are you doing a UNION on the exact same two queries?
    (SELECT TO_DATE(HH_END_DATE||' '||HH_END_TIME,'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS') ,HH_SWITCHPORT ,HH_SCRIPT ,'N' FROM tmp_healthhit_load WHERE HH_SCRIPT !='BROCHURE' UNION SELECT TO_DATE(HH_END_DATE||' '||HH_END_TIME,'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS') ,HH_SWITCHPORT ,HH_SCRIPT ,'N' FROM tmp_healthhit_load WHERE HH_SCRIPT !='BROCHURE');

    Hi,
    thank you for your answer, but the problem is, if I deleted "values" as you pointed out, and then execute it again, I got error like "ERROR at line 3:
    ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel", and I was then disconnected with server, I have to relogin SQLplus, and do everything from beganing.
    so what 's wrong caused disconnection, I can't find any triggers related. it is so wired?
    I wonder if anyone can help me about this.
    thank you very much

    Hi,
    acturlly what I do is debugging a previous developer's scipt for data loading, this script was called by Cron work, but it never can be successfully executed.
    I think he use union for eliminating duplications of rows, I just guess.
    thank you

    Scratch the VALUES keyword then make sure that the select list matches the column list in number and type.
    1 insert into marktest
    2 (fld1, fld2, fld3, fld4, fld5)
    3* select * from marktest
    UT1 > /
    16 rows created.

    Hi, Jagan:
    thank you very much for your answer.
    but when I execute it, I still can get error like:
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
    so wired, do you have any ideas?
    thank you very much

    And this one,
    Aother question about SQL?
    I thought I already told him to deal with
    ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
    problem first.
    There's nothing wrong (syntax wise) with the query. (of course when no "value" in the insert)

  • What is wrong with my IPhone? If you take a video you can't hear the audio but if I do a voice memo you can

    I don't know what's wrong with my iPhone, I can listen to music but if I try to take a video you can't hear my voice, if I take a voice memo you can hear my voice.

    try exiting the app and double clicking the home button. the multitasking apps will show up. delete all of them by holding them down and pushing the red circle (dont worry that doesnt remove them from the phone, just completely closes the app and makes your device run faster) then power off your phone by holding down thw lock button and sliding the red arrow when it comes up. wait about 5 seconds after its completely off and turn it back on. then try using the mic. hope this helps

  • What's wrong with my browsers?

    When i first got my macbook the internet was going really slow but then i changed the dns server to 4.2.2.2 and sometimes change it to 4.2.2.1 and the internet got better but now my browsers are acting funny.
    One moment i'm surfing webpages with safari or firefox.... Chatting with AdiumX or MS Messenger... and suddenly it just stops... Msn is getting time-out's, Safari says I'm not connected.
    But Airport sais it is still connected to my wireless network (with all the black bar's filled). It has valid IP adress etc, But everywhere I want to go on the internet it sais I'm not connected.
    When I disconnect the airport en let it reconnect with my wireless network, the connection is fine.
    how can i fix this?

    Most users shouldn't be manually entering DNS addresses, and those DNS addresses you mention probably aren't intended for end users. Is Level3 your ISP?
    That doesn't answer 'what's wrong with my browsers?', but a good start would be to configure your network according to your ISP's instructions. If you have DNS problems then, you might try using OpenDNS.

  • What's wrong with networking since Leopard?

    Hi,
    I'm with Mac since years. I was a PC User once and spent hours with all kinds of network troubles. What convinced me with Mac right in the beginning was easy networking: It just worked!
    But since Leopard things got worse: I have several MBP's, iMacs, Airport Extreme's and Airport Express's at different places which I installed, and I face the same problems at EVERY place:
    - I can't connect to AExtreme for several reasons: timeout, security incompatibility, ...
    - Sometimes only two Macs are allowed to connect to one AExtreme
    - Airport doesn't find Aiport or any other networks for minutes
    - After connecting to the router, can't get an IP (self-assigned IP only) - other PCs get an IP.
    - Aiport Extreme crashes (yellow blinking)
    - connection loss (even when AExtreme is very close)
    Now I know about networking, about configuration, I've done this for years. Whatever I do, problems disappear and appear again, at different times, at different places with different hardware.
    What is wrong with Leopard? Such problems remind me of times with Windows98 and stuff like that.

    What's wrong with networking since Leopard?
    on my network and many i have setup there have been no problems with leopard. However there are always teething problems with new operating systems. Thankfully with leopard only a tiny percentage of users experience technical difficulties.
    can't connect to AExtreme for several reasons: timeout, security incompatibility,
    is it set to use WPA/WPA2
    Airport doesn't find Aiport or any other networks for minutes
    sometimes my macbook pro takes a while to show up any networks if there are lots in the area this is because it is scanning them all.
    After connecting to the router, can't get an IP (self-assigned IP only) - other PCs get an IP.
    What kind of router are you using? What happens if you powercycle the router?
    # Aiport Extreme crashes (yellow blinking)
    # connection loss (even when AExtreme is very close)
    Have you tried resetting your AE to default. reinstalling its firmware or checking for a firmware update?
    Have you tried changing hte wireless channel your networ is broadcasting on?
    What is wrong with Leopard? Such problems remind me of times with Windows98 and stuff like that.
    Did you upgrade install your leopard installation or did you do clean (erase) installations?
    Have you tried created new network locations?

  • What's Wrong with My Computer?

    I have a G5 desktop computer, I believe it's referred to as a "Power Mac." My mom purchased it some years ago, I think in late 2005 shortly after this particular model was on the market.
    Info is:
    Version 10.5.8
    Processor 4 x 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5
    Memory 4.5 GB DDR2 SDRAM
    Hard Drive 240 GB (127 GB unused/available)
    My mother wasn't using this computer for many years, and my 13" Macbook was giving me trouble, so she gave this one to me. It's all been great (she maxed out the memory and hard drive space when she bought it, even though it is outdated and insignificant compared to current models), except for one little thing... Browsing the internet is usually fine when it's only one window, but not always. However, it is almost a guarantee that while trying to operate multiple windows and trying to play a video, Safari will crash. And not just once in awhile. I'm talking about on a daily basis. During regular offline computer use, like Photoshop or iTunes, the computer will sometimes grey over (as if someone put a fairly thick grey film over the entire screen), and tell me I have to restart the computer. So what's wrong with it? I presume it is a physical issue (failing memory, mother board, etc.), but what?

    Your computer is not remotely "maxed out" with RAM.
    You're describing a G5 Quad like mine (though mine was built in June of 2006), and maxed out means having 16 GB of RAM installed, like mine has.
    The Frolick wrote:
    …the computer will sometimes grey over (as if someone put a fairly thick grey film over the entire screen), and tell me I have to restart the computer. So what's wrong with it?…
    That's called a Kernel Panic, and, yes, it is most often caused by hardware problems, such as bad RAM or mismatched RAM.  I can't imagine how you get to 4.5 GB of RAM without exponentially increasing the risk of mismatched RAM.
    RAM has to be installed in matched pairs, starting from the center slots and spreading outward: 4*3*2*1*1*2*3*4
    On the other hand, my own personal experience has led me to conclude that Safari is a piece of cr@p.  It causes problems just being active in the background, causing other applications to fail.
    Check your RAM carefully, starting with just one pair of matched RAM sticks in the two center slots, then adding one pair at a time.  Check your hard disk with Apple's Disk Utility.
    The kernel panics can be caused by a damaged directory too, so if you own Disk Warrior, run it.  If you don't own DiskWarrior, at least Repair Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility and use Verify Disk/Repair Disk with it.
    I'd also recommend downloading and installing Applejack and run it according to the instructions.
    Good luck.

  • What's wrong with my iPod's Cover Flow??

    I have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen, 32Gb, and recently updated to IOS 5.
    Since then, the iPod's cover flow feature is extremely slow, doesn't flow smoothly, and crashes after a few (15-20) seconds.
    Today I noted something else: some album covers appear pixelated and blurry, even though HD. Those covers looked just fine until now.
    As a side note, I have in use 30 of the 32 Gb (that's a lot of music, I know). Could this be related? I never had those problems before IOS 5, though.
    What's wrong with my iPod?
    Thanks for your help!

    so as I see it people with this problem have 3 options
    - Make all of your album art a maximum of 500X500 pixels
    - Wait for an IOS update that fixes the problem
    - Scrap ipods and buy another brand of music player
    Using photoshop to do it with, it took me about an hour to resize, change, and resync all of my 1400 songs(86 albums)

  • What's wrong with my Final Cut Pro 7.03?

    What's wrong with my Final Cut Pro 7.03?
    I have just started up a new project.
    Every time I try to ad a clip in top of each other a "general error" shows up. The sequence viewer turned red and it displays that I have to close and reopen the window to restore.
    The only "new thing" I do - is the use/brand of camera.
    Now I use the canon D5 mark 3 for my project (before D5 mark 2)
    What's wrong??? Do I need to update my Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 And how do I do this???
    Final Cut Pro 7, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

    Did you use Log & Import?  Or did you at least convert the D5 files before importing?  FCP doesn't work with those files natively.

  • What is wrong with this code? on(release) gotoAndPlay("2")'{'

    Please could someone tell me what is wrong with this code - on(release)
    gotoAndPlay("2")'{'
    this is the error that comes up and i have tried changing it but it is not working
    **Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 2, frame=1:Line 2: '{' expected
         gotoAndPlay("2")'{'
    Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1
    Thanks

    If you have a frame labelled "2" then it should be:
    on (release) {
        this._parent.gotoAndPlay("2");
    or other wise just the following to go to frame 2:
    on (release) {
         this._parent.gotoAndPlay(2);
    You just had a missing curly bracket...

  • My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?

    My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?
    I have a two and half year mac book pro... I've had some issues with the screen looking scrambled when I quit certain applications, but now it's turned into something worse.  I'll be working on my computer and the thing will freeze.  When I force restart, the first screen, the apple logo, will be a blue tint and won't boot up normally.  Then I try safe mood and it will then boot just fine.  But there are blue stripes on my screen.  The screen alternates from a blue tint to normal and if the computer freezes again the screen will become completely blue with black stripes.  I haven't tried reinstalling my software because I don't have the startup discs that came with my computer.  If I was sure that would fix it I would purchase them, but if it's a hardware issue I'm afraid that I'm screwed.  I've been able to successfully get the blue off my screen by putting it to sleep and then waking it up, but that's not working well anymore either. 
    Does anyone else have experience with this?  Is it the firmware or what?  I have a MacBook Pro from early 2011 and I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    Please help... Thanks!

    I just experienced this exact same issue with my early 2011 15" macbook pro. Since like a month after purchasing it I had issues with the screen randomly going dark on me. I sent it in for repair inder waranty they replaced the gpu and logic board but I continued to have the same issues with the screen randomly going black sometimes I would need to reboot it in order to get the screen to go back on but it happened so infrequently and I used the computer for school so disnt find the time to resend it in to apple. Just last night the screen started to display the blue screen with black verticle lines on it. I called apple and explained to them  the issues that had been ongoing since I purchased the laptop but they said because I was now outside of warantee that any repairs at thia point wouldn't be covered. Fml so glad I spent 2200 on this future proof macbook pro what a joke my sister purchased a toshiba laptop for 300 4 years ago and it still running like a champ. I loved my macbook but at the price I paid I expect it to last longer than 2 years before leaving me high and dry. *** apple??
