I got the same error. Then I gave whole string to ./wfinstall and then the Installation pass ok!

Ultrasearch Connection string format issue

Hi,
I have been wrestling with Ultrasearch installation and keep encountering this error when I attempt to load the Ultrasearch Portlet in the 10G MT.
oracle.ultrasearch.query.SearchException: WKG17005: connection failure: Io exception: Invalid connection string format, a valid format is: "//host:port/service_name"
My data_sources.xml file is configured as follows:
     <data-source
     class="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleConnectionCacheImpl"
     name="UltraSearchDS"
     location="jdbc/UltraSearchPooledDS"
     username="Ultrasearch"
     password="*******"
     url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@//hostname:1521:sid"
     inactivity-timeout="30"/>
I have verified the setup of the Ultrasearch user in the database, and have verified the Ultrasearch.properties file setup.
I'm not sure if TNS is setup correctly or if the DAD settings for the portal have something to do with this - I was not able to find any referecne to configuration of those files in the Oracle Documenation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Roy

"jdbc:oracle:thin:@//hostname:1521:sid" isn't a valid url. You have to remove the "//", i.e. "jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:1521:sid".
The syntax "//host:port/service_name" is used when to want to use a service name instead of SID.

Getting quite regular 'format not recognised'

When I try to select one of the movies for streaming from my computer to apple tv there will be a long pause with eventually a yellow triangle and 'could not be played as format not recognised'
This only began when I purchased an airport extreme.
The apple tv, and computers all connect via ethernet into the extreme.
To clarify the formats are correct and have been watched before. Infact frequently if I page pack then select the same movie again, it will more often than not start up just fine.
Has anyone else had this annoying problem?

Smokerz is probably right that when the network link is poor, it shows this error message which is stupid. It should instead say that the network link is of poor quality to support video streaming.
Having said that, my PC which is inside the computer cabinet shows excellent network link quality (-86dbmV noise level compared to a signal level of -50) and connected at 54mbps to my router. The Apple TV and the Philips HDTV is place above the same cabinet. If ATV doesn't have enough error recovery mechanism, then it is definitely a toy for the geeks.
Imagine if we were to connect to our remote servers once in 10 attempts and that connection would drop off after 2 minutes and then we were asked to reboot the servers and power cycle the workstations. Imagine that!

"date format not recognised" in DBMS_SESSION, on page over db_link

Hi,
I have an Apex 4.0 page which has a region that gets data constituted from a connection across a database link.
The host database is 11.1.0.6 and the remote database is 9.0.1. (Both Standard Edition)
I am using EPG.
Intermittently, I receive the following error (having turned debugging on):
Wed, 25 Aug 2010 10:21:53 GMT
ORA-20867: ORA-01821: date format not recognized
ORA-02063: preceding line from CLIFF
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SESSION", line 157
ORA-06512: at "APEX_040000.WWV_FLOW_LANG", line 387

ORA-06512: at "APEX_040000.F", line 294
ORA-06512: at line 30
I'm somewhat confused as to what is causing the generation of this error.
After receiving this error, anything I else that I do that involves building 'pages' works perfectly fine. I can login/out, no problems.
However, if I try and RUN any page within my application thereafter (all of these access local DB information apart the 1 that generates the error), I continue to receive exactly the same error - no matter which page I am trying to access.
Help?
- Tony.

Hi Patrick,
No. I haven't yet applied the patchset. May do that this afternoon now.
I don't believe I've manually set any date formats anywhere. Just entered the Builder with default options (apart from choosing a theme) and away I went!!
What surprises me is that the application has no problems viewing all the data. The functionality all seems fine. I had this working on a previous setup for months,. without any problems, using version 3.2. (This wasn't migrated though, this was a rebuild from scratch.)
From further "tests", the error seems to occur when I edit the page that involves the remote data.
Normally, a user would land on the page from having used a hyperlink column on a previous page's classic report region.
The point at which it all starts to go wrong is if I connect to the page as normal, but then EDIT the page, and then try and re-run it.
The problem with the date format then re-occurs repetitively, no matter which page I try and view. Sometimes pages will load some components, but then generate odd errors with others. e.g. I have a small series of 3 dial charts, all with slightly varying SQL series (same SQL, slightly different where clause). Now I am seeing that 1 may load and 2 may give odd flash errors...
Right now, I just tried to Export my application - and I still got given the date format error!! Sub-sequent retries allowed the operation to complete successfully.
The only way I seem to be able to eradicate the recurring errors is to kill all the currently connected ANONYMOUS users in the DB, and then relog to the application.

TNS connect string

Hi,
I use the following connect string to connect to the database and able to login successfully.
sqlplus scott/tiger@mydb. My tnsnames.ora file looks like
mydb=
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS =
(COMMUNITY = tcp.world)
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(Host = ORCL.INDBA.NET)
(Port = 1526)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ORCL)
Without giving the alias name i.e mydb, how would be I able to connect using the complete connect descriptor giving the details of host,sid,port etc.
I need this in one of my environment for which I dont have the edit privileges on tnsnames.ora file.
Kindly provide me the complete syntax for the same.
Thanks,
Drk

Hello Drk,
Werner was right, you were missing some closing ')'
One in the middle and one at the end ...
Your string, formatted looked like :
(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS =
                                                                 (COMMUNITY = tcp.world)
                                                                 (PROTOCOL = TCP)
                                                                 (Host = orcl.indba.net)
                                                                 (Port = 1526)
                                                       (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = orcl)
You were missing a closing ')' for the ADRESS part and your DESCRIPTION part was also missing a ')'
It should be
(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS =
                                                                 (COMMUNITY = tcp.world)
                                                                 (PROTOCOL = TCP)
                                                                 (Host = orcl.indba.net)
                                                                 (Port = 1526)
                                                  (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = orcl)
So, the good syntax is :
sqlplus "scott/tiger@(DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS =(COMMUNITY = tcp.world)(PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = orcl.indba.net)(Port = 1526))(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = orcl)))"
Next time, be a little more careful when copying and modifying the entry from tnsnames.ora.
You can use spaces without any problem, as long that you enclose your arguments with "
(at least in version 10 and 11 - may be different behaviour in previous versions)
Best regards,
Dave

How do I download RAW pictures from a Panasonic TZ60 into Elements, keeps telling me file damaged or in format not recognised.

I have just purchased a Panasonic TZ60 which is producing some good quality pictures. The camera can be set to save picture in jpeg, RAW and jpeg and RAW but I have been unable to download any RAW pictures into either iPhoto or Elements. Both programmes see the file but won't download and comes up with message saying file damaged or not recognised.
I have tried just transferring RAW picture file to my desktop and then into Elements, still no joy.

Thanks John
Missed updating so went in search and found update path and that has resolved and can now pull in RAW, just need to crack iPhoto now and will be happy again.
Thanks for help

Nikon D90 RAW format not recognised even with latest updates

Hello,
I just tried to import RAW pictures from my new D90 on my Mac (recently installed Leopard, with latest combo update + Aperture update) but it doesn't recognise the format. I can see thumbnails, and JPEG pictures are working fine.
I also tried to manually install the update where D90 RAW support was added (nov 08), but it tells me there is no need to install it since I have a "newer version".
What can I do ?
Do I need to reinstall Leopard and update everything one at a time without combos ?
Thank you
Julien

I figured out what the problem was !
I have a standalone edition of Leopard, and no iLife installed. I installed the iLife from another Mac and it magically worked !
It would have been nice to know that before, though.

GZIP format not recognised by winzip or Java

Hi,
We are trying to achieve the following.
We are trying to zip some data in ABAP using the following CL_ABAP_GZIP and put it into a stream. Unfortunately, when we read the stream in the java client we get a "Not in GZIPFormat exception" and the same does not open using winzip. I have a feeling it is something to do with code redundancy checks (crc) which is not done in the ABAP class. Has anyone faced the same issue? Any suggestions?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Karthik

Hi Karthik,
did you check SAP note 644640? It might help you check actual kernel release.

IPv6 format connection string 10g

JDBC connection strings

We're having a problem connecting to one of our databases using JDBC thin. There seem to be two formats for the connection strings:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@opctest.deq.state.ms.us:1522:TEST8131
jdbc:oracle:thin:@//opctest.deq.state.ms.us:1522/TEST8131
From a java app, the first throws an "Io exception: Invalid connection string format, a valid format is: "//host:port/service_name" " error; the second throws a TNS-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor error.
What confuses me more is that if I test this string from a JSP page:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@opctest.deq.state.ms.us:1522:test8131
it connects fine.
The environment is Oracle9i on Red Hat, running MTS. Java app is running on WinXP. Anyone have an idea what's going on?
Thanks,
Harry

I can see a couple of issues in your connect string:
1. I see you are using the sid in uppercase, TEST8131 instead of test8131. If you are working on a unix environment this makes a difference, so use the lower case instead.
2. You are using the 1522 port, check with your database administrator if the instance is registered against the 1522 port, otherwise the error TNS-12514 will show up. I will assume it currently works fine since you have declared the jsp using the same address works fine with this port.
3. Ensure the hostname can be solved just exactly the way you have declared it (fully qualified domain) from the perspective where the jdbc program is running.
4. the format described here: opctest.deq.state.ms.us:1522/TEST8131 is known as the EZConnect, and it is a 10g feature.

ORA-12546 When connecting without specifying sid in connect string

I am currently having a difficult time connecting to an Oracle 9.2.0.4 database running on Red Hat Linux.
I can successfully connect to this database with sqlplus as oracle whether a sid name is included in the connect string or not. I can also successfully connect to the instance through jdbc with jsp pages. However when I try to connect as root without specifying the sid I get an ORA-12546 TNS: Permission denied. I also receive this error when attempting to connect to the instance through php scripts. Note that root can connect through sqlplus with no problem as long as the sid is included in the connect string. Also note that the oracle user can connect either way.
I turned on tracing and found that this error is occurring before it even gets to the listener as no log or trace entries are generated when the error occurs.
Does anyone have any ideas?

did you set the parameter TWO_TASK ?
