• DBMS_SCHEDULER - trying to create and run a UNIX shell script from Oracle

  How can I run Script Shell Unix from Oracle using DBMS_SCHEDULER?
  
  After reading many examples online, I finished the 3 steps below.
  Create program, create jobs, run task. On my 3rd stage, I get the following error.
  How can I make sure that the work was created?
  
  ORA-27475: "APPS. POSPAY_FILE_CHECK_JOB' must be work
  
  (1) create the program

  BEGIN
    dbms_scheduler.create_program(
       program_name => 'POSPAY_FILE_CHECK_PROG',
       program_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
       program_action => '/home/ldcgroup/ldccbc/POSPAY_USC2_CHECK.sh',
       number_of_arguments => 0,
       enabled => TRUE,
       comments => 'Test Program'
       );
  END;

  (2) create jobs

  BEGIN
  DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
     job_name          =>  'POSPAY_CHECK_FILE_JOB',
     program_name      =>  'POSPAY_CHECK_FILE_PROG',
     enabled           =>   TRUE);
  END;
  /

  (3) the job (not calendar, I'll run this a concurrent request of EBS)

  BEGIN
     DBMS_SCHEDULER.run_job (
       job_name => 'POSPAY_FILE_CHECK_JOB');
  END;
  /

  Of [documentation | http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10595/scheduse002.htm#i1009668]

  The job is created disabled. You must enable it with DBMS_SCHEDULER.ENABLE before the Scheduler will automatically run it.
  
  Jobs are set to be automatically dropped by default after they complete. Setting the auto_drop attribute to FALSE causes the job to persist.
  

• Cannot create a database in Oracle 11 g. TNS Protocol card error.  . Missing ORA files.

  I want to start by saying: I went through several forum threads about errors in Protocol TNS, .ora files, installation guides and you name it.  I am new to Oracle 11 g, and I bought the book for a course of database, I don't take in college;  However, I'm not a newbie to technology and I have SQL experience.  My Oracle experience has been a disaster so far, and I am a tester of application by trade! I spent an entire week, just try to get the software installed correctly before finally creating this discussion on your forums.  So I'm sorry to disrupt your forums.  I know that you have 1,000 other subjects with a similar scope, but I have received no help from Oracle and none of the proposed solutions have previously solved my problem.  Let's get to it.

  My system: 6 core AMD, Windows 7 Ultimate SP1, 16 GB RAM, multiple disk drives, if you need anything else to say.

  I am trying to install software: Oracle 11 g SQL Database Standard Edition (it came with my book SQL Oracle 11 g and I need company for the moment)

  Environment: Windows 2008 Server Virtual Datacenter

  Client VM: VMWare

  Problem in short: when I try to install the software and create a database, everything is successful, until the database Configuration Wizard attempts to finalize the process.  All the prereq check Oracle directories are created and etc.  To the database Configuration Wizard, I always get the following error message:

  ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

  If I try to launch sqlplus and enter my credentials of the default Oracle, I get the same error (I am basically unable to get to the SQL > screen).  I noticed that I only have a sqlnet.ora file in my folder "OraHome_1/NETWORK/ADMIN", and I have not all listeners or tnsnames file in this directory. The sqlnet.ora file reads as follows:

  sqlnet.ora # Network Configuration file: C:\app\Administrator\product\11.1.0\db_1\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
  # Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

  # This file is actually generated by netca. But if customers can opt for
  # install 'Software Only', this file does not exist and without the native
  authentication #, they will not be able to connect to the database on NT.

  SQLNET. AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)

  NAMES. DIRECTORY_PATH = (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)

  I look at my running services and find that I 3 running Oracle services (at this point, I tried to uninstall/reinstall several times, none seems to be a COMPLETE uninstall, while some of these services were not there before...):

  Oracle ORCL VSS Writer Service (started)

  (Disabled) OracleJobSchedulerORCL # I will revive it with no other success

  OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener (on the way)

  I tried to launch another listener using the following cmd command, but I still received the TNS error trying to create a database or connect to sqlplus.

  lsnrctl start LISTENER

  I admit, I am quite sleepy at this point, and I'm not figure this tonight.  I'm not having my hand held through the process, but I could really use some help here.  I understand that my VM disk drive is probably fragmented at this point and I'll probably need to start over from a clean installation of OUR.  I also understand that I keep missing a crucial procedure during initial installation because it is quite obvious that this will not work without the listener or tnsname files.  I tried to interpret the samlples, but an example of the syntax would be really useful.  Also, what users to manually configure these standard files?  It seems that a lot of my trouble could have been avoided if the installation had been easier.  On the contrary, the flame of the fact that I'm more efficient with Microsoft, that the fact that I am new to Oracle.  I could just go to mysql, but I want to give a chance to Oracle.  I just need a nudge in the right direction to get database database server installed.

  I really appreciate any idea that anyone can provide.  I know that you have had other similar subjects historically, but none that I found helped me to this day.  I'm a major network, so I understand that TNS is an Oracle proprietary protocol.  I also understand that the listener is required to actively receive information about this port; I even took down my firewall temporarily to make sure it wasn't a problem.  I even understand that connection strings are needed to associate the database Oracle, Oracle with my Microsoft OS and etc.  What I don't understand, why this was so complicated. Help, please.  I'm just tired of banging my head into the wall on this one.

  Your friend.

  Enter the user name: ops Sham $
  Enter the password:
  Connected to:

  Because, despite the "ops$"... ops$ feint isn't an authenticated OS account. This is a database of authenticated account. It's only a database of authenticated account because you gave it a password. From your previous post to Justin:

  -quote from the previous post to start-

  SQL > CREATE USER ops$ sham IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY.
  Created by the user.
  -suspend - quote

  OK, at this point, you have an authenticated os account "$ops Sham".

  -quote to continue-
  SQL > GRANT CONNECT TO the Sham ops$;
  Grant succeeded.
  -suspend - quote

  Now, the operating system account 'sham' should be able to connect with a simple "sqlplus / '.

  -quote to continue-
  SQL > grant dba to simulacrum of ops$;
  Grant succeeded.
  -suspend - quote

  Now, anyone who uses the operating system account 'sham' can connect without a password and have all the privileges listed in the role of "dba".

  -quote to continue-
  SQL > alter the simulacrum of $ ops user identified by shamos.
  Modified user.
  -end quote-

  But now change you your account "$ops Sham" and gave it a password. OPS$ feint is therefore more than a bone authenticated account. It is now a database authenticate the account, but with a rather misleading name. At this point, if you are trying to connect as "sham of the ops$", you will need to provide a password.

  Note: most web links either saying, we can choose to connect with DB.
  I want to know the difference why this sqlplus command / error display

  Because you're tying to use authentication with an operating system account that is not an operating system os authenticated account in the database. Put "ops$" on the name of the account is NOT what makes an authenticated os account. What makes authenticated os sets the account as "identified on the outside. If you create as 'identified by somepassword', OR if you CHANGE to 'identified by somepassword' then it is NOT authenticated os.

• Setting server or client SQLNET.ora

  Hello

  I do not understand if sqlnet.ora-oracle documentation. I have my perception of this file is only a client-side configuration file.

  MetaLink docID: 151972.1 describe the detection of connection dead DCD, but we're not sure if we set this client-side or server-side?

  Greetings * T

  SQLNET.ora files are optional on the client and the server. However, if you need to configure something that is only done by the sqlnet.ora, you must create the file (if it does not exist).  DCD is a device by which the * server process sends a probe packet (ping) to the customer in order to see if the client is still alive and he answers.  Thus, this configuration is performed on the server.

  (for example, another setting aside server in the sqlnet.ora is 'sqlnet.inbound_connect_timeout')

• entries ADRCI SQLNET.ora

  My team application ask to add the bottom of the entries in the customer oracle sqlnet.ora file no server:

  DIAG_SIGHANDLER_ENABLED = FALSE
  
  It affects my database somehow? Disadvantages there?
  
  Kind regards

  That the definition of these parameters on fake change structure of directories of my trace files?

  No, I don't think that these false setting can change the directory structure, because the automatic diagnostic repository (ADR) is a directory structure that is stored outside the database. Setting these false stops just to create the path and save the files that are needed to send the support of Oracle. When the DIAG_ADR_ENABLED parameter is set to OFF, the tracing of the non - ADR files is used.

  See Structure, content and the location of the automatic diagnostic repository:

  I meet emca error before and it is just resolved when I created lisnter.ora, so I want to try it.

  I doubt that listener.ora was the cause.

  Although experience is a better teacher.

  No, trying to find the cause of a problem is a better teacher, just try things at random - it's a good way to teach you things like "emctl start dbconsole does not work without a listener.ora", which is clearly false.

  Once start emca

  The command is not 'emca,' maybe that's your problem.

  I don't know what are your specific references, when you say that the documents "tell us differently', but I think the best description/definition of"net service name"is located in the Setup Guide glossary. To quote:
  ======================================================================
  NET service name

  A simple name for a service that resolves to a connect descriptor. Users to formulate a connection request from a user name and password with a net service name in a connection string for the service to which they want to connect:

  SQL > CONNECT user_name
  Enter the password: password
  SQL > @net_service_name

  Depending on your needs, the net service names can be stored in a variety of locations, including:

  Tnsnames.ora, on each client, local configuration file

  Directory Server

  Service external naming, such as the Information Service Network (NIS) or cell Directory Service (CDS)
  ======================================================================

  The net service name is in your example of your tnsnames.ora, "ORGDB."
  The name of the service is, of course, "orcl.orgdb.com".
  'Domain name' is a standard networking term.
