I have a JBOSS aplication server connect to database. When I tested on local, everything was ok. But when i test on real system , have a message "connection time out" on log file of app server while Oracle db still active. I viewed OEM, the system is executing the query :
"SELECT a.path songFilePath, a.BEAT beat from vp_song a, mst_my_album b "+
"where "+
"a.BEAT = b.BEAT "+
"and b.my_album_id IN "+
"(select my_album_id from (select my_album_id, ROW_NUMBER() OVER
(order by my_album_id asc) "+
"R from mst_my_album where msisdn = ?) WHERE R BETWEEN ? and ?)";
But this query is not very hard.
what is meaning for port number,in listener.ora file associated with ? is there any difference for port number in windows & in linux server.,?

In one of our RAC envrionment, we have more than 15 databases in a server running in AIX Operating system.the Listener file I am able to find only one entry (SID). But while trying to execute lsnrctl status it displays all the 15 SIDs in the list hosted in the ser ver. Not sure how it works?
As we created another one new database in the database, where i need to add this SID in the listener.ora file to reload the listener.
I want connect mssql in oracle by orale Gateways 11g

my steps :
1. set initdg4mssql.ora

but it's error. i want to know where is the error.
Possible to call a tnsnames file from master tnsnames like the principle of ifile in the init.ora...My primary tnsnames.ora has a lot of development entries which are repointed frequently, it would work with logistics if I could manage these in a second tns file and load from primary so when my dev instances are repointed I'm not editing the master tnsnames
View 4 Replies View RelatedHow to find out the database TNSNAMES.ora file if there are multiple .ora files with different names in Oracle_home/network/admin directory ?
View 6 Replies View Relatedwe have an environment with many Oracle databases in different versions (v8, V9, V10 and V11). Besides that, there are many versions of the Oracle Client in use, ranging from V6 to V11. Many of the clients have a TNSnames.ORA and as was to eb expected, many of these are old as well with a lot of (by now) invalid information in there.
Is there any reasonable maximum size to the TNSnames.ORA file?What are the consequences from going over the max size? Are there alternatives to using TNSnames.ora which you would recommend?
I need to Update Oracle tnsnames.ora file with the some new entries ....i was looking for ora 92, but could not find a proper link to download.now I have oracle 11 g, but i cant find tnsnames.ora file in that...is it because my installation was not proper...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having problem with my tnsnames.ora file.seems the file cannot handle connection information for more than one DB. It worked fine in the beginning, after that, whenever i had to connect to a DB, i had to keep switching and renaming 5 files, with respect to whichever database I want to connect to. this is the entries in the file, for 2 D's and it wont work, with just one in each it works, but not for two...

I am sure, nothing wrong with teh IP/virtualname, cause with just one of these in the file, they work excellent.I tried leaving line between the connection strings for each DB, without leavin lines, etc..

I have one production server with oracle 11g R2 DB. I have to change Server Hardware and thats why I have to install oracle 11g R2 DB on New hardware and test it. I had installed DB with software only option and copied the cold backup of production server. The hostname and ip address of both the servers are different. I had change the "db_domain" parameter into init.ora with the hostname.Now my question is that can the same db runs on the same network with different hosts. Change of "db_domain" parameter into the init.ora is enough or i have to follow some other procedure.

I have googled and read many sites, but am still getting the same error, no matter what I do. I am newbie again (was a DBA in 1990...when I used to have the same error and fix it in seconds...not sure why this problem still lingers in Oracle) so most likely I am overlooking something.

My client get the error Ora-12514 when he tries to connect to the db.Well;
1) we restart the services: "OracleServiceOrcl" and listener but nothing changes
2) We restart the server and nothing changes
3) We checked the dump and he was done on March,26th. No db export yesterday. Is there any link with the clock change of this week-end (location of the server: France)?
4) The lsnrctl services listener command run successfully but it doesn't mention the instance ORCL.
Im planning to install OID. I will use it for Oracle Net name resolution and Enterprise User Security.
How is this product licensed? Is it included in a enterprise rdbms license?
I have an Access DB which I'm using to connect to an Oracle DB at work. There are several Oracle DB's that I can connect to using Access but this one I'm not able to connect to. I get the Oracle error ORA-25153 Temporary Table Space is empty.

I'd got this error, TNS-12542, address already in used on my multithreaded application.
After finding some documents about this error, it happen because other application used same port as my listener. But i'd assured that only my listener, but it didn't happen in the first running process, but after some processes (hundreds of processes).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am facing a issue on DBCA Installation, when i tried from off-shore.
a. When Iam connecting a server using production / Model VPN , and try to start Installing DBCA Using X11-Forwarding of putty,

c. First time it fails and second time its went to success, Whereas when i take alog of server ping request - I am getting a frequent "Requested time out" due to network fluctuation.
So let me know is the network fluctuation affects the Installation through VPN, if So how to overcome and is any workaround on that ?
We're deploying a new product release however this build uses Oracle 11G. We want to perform a side by side install for testing purposes. These are low usage systems so installing another Oracle build will not hinder the system.
We intend to test for a couple of weeks and migrate data, then uninstall the 10G. I'm in the process of installing 11G now, the 10G is up and running. I don't want to impact the 10G install. I'm installing 11G in /home/oracle/oracle11G directory. I would like to use 1 Listener.ora file. I've broken down the install bellow.
10G
SID "processing"
Oracle home /home/oracle/oracle10g
/mnt/Oracle/Oracle10GData
/mnt/Oracle/OracleRedoLog
11G
SID "processing11G"
Oracle home /home/oracle/oracle11g
/mnt/Oracle/Oracle11GData
/mnt/Oracle/Oracle11GRedoLog
I've copied the listener.ora file bellow.
LISTENER_PROCESSING =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST= X (PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 1.1.1.2)(PORT = 1521))
[code].......
LISTENER_PROCESSING2 =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = X (PORT = 1522))
[code]......
Do I need to specify the databasename for Processing2? Also the front end boxes (managers) are two different servers so Processingweb1 and processingweb2.
I want to connect ORACLE-11gR2 that is on linux with an MS sql server. DO i need to use some third party drivers like easy soft ? Can i configure the database gateway without any third party drivers ?
Secondly if my oracle is on linux, can i configure the gateway on a seperate windows machine(that will connect to linux oracle and ms sql server) as i have found the gateway installation setup only for windows version.
I would like to implement connect time fail over from my JDBC thin client. The client will try to first connect with dedicated connection mode, if the connection time crosses more than two seconds, then connection will be opened with shared mode. To implement this, I have put the following connection string in my JDBC URL. I am able to connect to database with this URL, however it seems fail over does not work. Is it because, my database listener is not configured with dynamic service registration. If I implement the dynamic service registration, is fail over going to work? Note, I want to fail over in the same database instance but with different listener.
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(FAILOVER = TRUE)
(LOAD_BALANCE = FALSE)
[Code].....
Which parameters are required in init file for 'Dynamic Listener Registration'? (for default port/ protocol). I understand that Local_listener is required only if we are using not default protocol, port.
Also which cases we need listener.ora file? I understand we need it for 'Duplicate Database' using RMAN as well as for 'Data Guard'. what else will need it?
We had an escalation wherein one of team members accidentally deleted an LDAP entry for a database. We use Oracle Net Manager to add/delete the connect descriptor.
Are there any logs using which we can find out as to who deleted the entry.
