Mr mshaikh,

Thank you for your responding.

Actually I have installed OAS in my Windows NT server 4.0. In that server itself I went to the
OAS manager. There only I started some orb processes. The following error message has shown.

      Oracle Application Server

      Please wait while the command is being processed on host gssnts2...
      starting ORB processes...
      Returning filename E:\orant\orb\admin\.event
      waiting for ORB to be ready...
      ORB is not responding. Please restart manually...
      OWS-20214 : The OAS processes cannot eb started,because the CORBA orb processes can not be started.

Please help me to solve this problem.

Check to make sure that your machine is recognised by the DNS server. From the command prompt
issue the following command

nslookup oashost.yourdomain.com

Here is an example reply...

Server: dns.yourdomain.com
Address: 192.168.1.1

Name: oashost.yourdomain.com
Address: 192.168.1.20

Here is an example if oashost is unknown to dns server dns

$ nslookup oashost.yourdomain.com

Server: dns.yourdomain.com
Address: 198.192.1.1

*** dns.yourdomain.com can't find oashost.yourdomain.com: Non-existent host/domain

This message indicates that you have found the DNS server but that server does not have a translation for the hostname. If the nslookup does not find the DNS server check the IP address for the DNS machine in your oasjost's TCPIP configuration.

If the command found the DNS server but failed to find your hostname, then register the machine with the DNS server. Make sure your IP address is unique and register your IP address and name with the DNS server administration.
If you don't know your IP address contact your network administrator.
