customer will not use the correct tnsnames.ora file

Hello all, I installed oracle 10g client on my machine... but here's the thing... I tnsnames.ora several file on my machine (which I can't delete or play with)... and because of this oracle is not able to connect to the database I want it to connect to... I can't do tnsping to the database... is there a way where I can point my client to use a specific tnsnames.ora file? as a pointer? or something where it will look in this file specific tnsnsame.ora?

You can specify what tnsnames.ora for use the TNS_ADMIN environment variable
Switch to the directory that contains your tnsnames.ora to use.

Kind regards

  • I am trying to install a D-Link router, but it will not designate the correct IP address.

    Im trying to install a d-link router and it will not get the correct ip address. I then tested on my roommates with a newer version of windows laptop and the router has worked. d-link technology says I may new new setting lan drivers installed for this problem. help someone?

    original title: router problems

    Make sure that this adapter you set obtain IP and DNS addresses automatically.  Go to your network connections and right click on your internet connection and select 'Properties', then click on (highlighted) Protocol Internet (TCP/IP) and then click on the properties button and make sure that the IP address and DNS are both set to obtain automatically addresses.

    Go to the Services management console (type services.msc in the box run from the start menu) and make sure that the DHCP Client service is set to automatic startup.  Restart the computer and see if things improve.

  • My Norton anti-virus software used to work and now it does not work with the new Firefox update. This corrected soon? Otherwise, I will not use the product

    Since your last update that my Norton toolbar will not work... If it does not work, will not use your product. Can it be fixed quickly?

  • Size of the application icon... Home screen will not use the right one. Help!

    I thought I could include different sizes of icons (ie. 48 x 48, 32 x 32, etc.) and the camera choose the size of the device or the theme-appropriate application icons. Of course, this isn't the case. So, how do you get the device to use the right size for the theme icon?

    For example, I have a Verizon 8330 (curve) and the theme of Verizon uses sizes 48 x 48 icons. If I use a size of 48 x 48 icon to my app, it looks great. However, if I change the theme of one of the standard BB Dimension themes, it will be small scale my icon 48 x 48, 32 x 32, which seems quite bad. Why does not he chooses the icon size 32 x 32 I understand? How can I provide both sizes and have it use the correct size according to the theme? It looks even worse when I use 32 x 32 and he then it extends to 48 x 48. Help!

    You'll have to do it by programming it your application startup.  You can use the following code to get the width and height of the icon:

    int height = net.rim.blackberry.api.homescreen.HomeScreen.getPreferredIconHeight();
    int width = net.rim.blackberry.api.homescreen.HomeScreen.getPreferredIconWidth();
    

    Then set the using the appropriate icon:

    net.rim.blackberry.api.homescreen.HomeScreen.updateIcon( icon );
    
  • Computer will not use the drive when you restart.

    I have a Pavilion dv 9000 and had problems more and more lately (win explorer fails, application launcher fail, blue screens, crashes etc.).

    I decided to use the recovery disk that was created at first boot. According to all the manuals that I found (on - and offline), it is just to put the recovery disk in the DVD-ROM and restart.

    The problem is that nothing happens. The computer does not use the disk when it reboots.

    Anyone experienced the same problem with the recovery disk?

    I'm not having any other problems with the ROM, works perfektly once Windows is running.

    Thank you

    You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Do not use the correct decimal value

    I am using a cell to calculate a simple equation, but the value is incorrect, because program seems to use the wrong decimal length to calculate the answer.

    A cell is formatted with 2 decimals with a value of 54.55%. (Formula for this cell is 90000/165000)

    B cell is formatted in a monetary value of $75,000 with 0 decimal.

    Cell C's function cell A = * B cell with currencies with 0 decimal formatting.

    Cell C should multiple 54.55% $75,000, resulting in $40 913 in cell C, but the result is always $40 909. When I manually type =. 5455 * 75000 in another cell, I will get the result of 40913. So I guess the program is multiplied by the actual value of the % and not the number rounded to 2 decimal places. However this change so the value will be correct?

  • Windows Media Player will not retrieve the correct album information

    A new CD, I bought has a deluxe edition which is not in WMP (fai.music.metaservices.microsoft.com) information store album. It should really be an option to inform them of the missing albums, but it is not available now. In its place, however, is an option for editing the Info manually. We could implement a way (or I could say how) to inform them that there is a hole in their library?

    Hello

    Perform the steps mentioned below and see if it works.

    was: open Windows Media player.

    b: click organize, click Options, and then click the Privacy tab.

    c : Select the check box Update music files by retrieving the news media from the Internet .

    Now navigate to the album you ripped and click on find album info.

    If the correct album information or artist appear in search results, select the entry and then follow the instructions on the page automatically update the album art and media information. If the correct album does not appear in the search results, follow the instructions on the search page using different search criteria or to add the information of media manually.

  • Remote Desktop for Mac will not use the printer driver

    On an iMac with Lion 10.7.3, I try to get an Epson ReadyPrint T20 - TM to use the Epson driver when it is connected to our server Windows 2008 R2 with DRC 2.1.1 but it keeps using a HP Color Laser Jet 2800 Series PS we have not the HP printer and I need some features in the Epson driver.

    I installed the printer on the server and removed several times without alteration. When 'Use a printer connected to the Mac' is selected in the preferences of the DRC the printer is a printer that is redirected, but the use of the driver of HP. Printing from Mac works with all the features.

    Hi all


    I have a querry as

  • My C70 satellite - C - 11 L will not use the Nvida 930 M

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C70 - C - 11 L half a year ago but I was too lazy to go to support so far.
    I bought this laptop because of the fairly large plug. But I was a little shocked when I discovered that this laptop is underperforming massively because he refuses to use the Nvidia 930 M card and use instead of the built-in Intel graphics card. I tried many things like going in the software nvidia and intel, but I can't seem to understand. "The" personal assistant Yoko "doesn't even have a GPU segment.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello FouteMAkelaar,

    There is a way. After installing the drivers of toshiba in mouse right click menu Web site I found properties where I can choose graphics intel or nvidia to run application.

    I have some problems with my Toshiba satellite c70, too. Unfortunately, it is very complicated, room, it is in the bios. To remedy this, I need a dump of the laptop even bios (backup file). Could you please send me your toshiba c70 - c bios backup file?

  • Windows 8 will not mistake The Boot Configuration Data file is missing some required information.

    Yesterday, I downloaded Windows 8, and although using it was confusing I got the hang of it. Today, I used the computer again and everything was fine but then I stopped him and a few hours later, when I turned it on a blue screen appeared and he says:

    Recovery
    Your PC needs to be repaired
    The Boot Configuration data file is missing some information required.
    Leader: \Boot\0xc000000d
    OT: After victory. Download 8 it won't launch
    I have no idea what is happening or how to fix it. Any help to help me understand and solve this problem would be appreciated.

    Met the same question from one day to the other - re install Win 8< week="" old="" decided="" to="" misbehave="" on="" a="" reboot.="" nothing="" untoward="">

    In any case discovered that the automatic startup repair is less useless for me. He could not fix anything whatsoever after the diagnosis and just gave up.

    However, resort to repair (start your windows installation CD) command line prompt, I managed to solve it with the command of the ffg on the command line.

    Bootrec /rebuildbcd

    More info about bootrec available using your favorite search engine.

    for example, this site was useful for me

    http://superuser.com/questions/451277/missing-boot-files-in-Windows-8

    For users in previous posts with problems and have only a version downloaded to Win 8 - well I'd say that you yourself create a DVD of the version uploaded to win 8 - the installation program ask you if you want to create media - that will create a 4.x GB. ISO file that you can burn to DVD. There is enough information on how to do this just search online.

    With regard to creating a way to initiate Win8 installer from USB Eh well I heard the ffg tool works with Win 8 too but cannot vouch for her since have never tried so its at your own risk.
