Cannot TNSping my Oracle 9i database from the Middle Tier with 9iAS
Windows 2k Server - OS Oracle 9i Database 9.2.0.6.0
Windows 2k Middle tier - Oracle 9iAS
Windows client from Middle Tier.
I installed and created Oracle 9i and have a database that start and works correctly.
I then installed Oracle 9iAS on the Middle tier machine. This installation created 2 Oracle homes.
1. \Oracle\806 for forms
2. \Oracle\iSuites for Webserver
Then I installed Oracle 10G Forms and reports server. That created a home \Oracle\10g
I have 3 tnsnames.ora, one for each home. I have a common sqlnet.ora BUT, I have only ONE LISTENER on the Middle tier. There is no database on the Middle tier.
I included the database from the DB server's tnsnames.ora into the TNSnames.ora of the Middle tier machine.
My home on the Middle tier is set to \Oracle\806. when I try to TNSPING my DB server from the Middle tier, I get this message.
TNS-03505 message 3505 not found, No message file for PRODUCT=Network, facility = TNS.
How can I connect to my database or what is it that is wrong here?. I ahve posted the .ora files of rht e midll tier and the lof of TNSping. Please help with this frustrating problem that is holding up all my work.
Note: the TNSnames.ora were created by the system. I have only included the database octrn section from the DB server's tnsnames.ora. I am not sure about the beq-protocol and why it is there in one of the tnsnames.ora files. look closely, I changed orcl to octrn (ARGV0 = oracle80octrn) in that section of \oracle\806 tnsnames.ora file

For Schwertner:
I am not a DBA and I specialize in Oracle Clinical. I have done te installation after a terrible struggle. However, I am now left with this one headache to make this work. Everything has been inatllaed and configured to an extent. But I am surprised that it gives me an error to connect.
I am currently usingthe Middle tier as a client and hence I will not need a DB or infrastructure. This is only to test the connection. Once this works, I will setup the client and start from there. The Oracle home on the Middle tier is \Oracle\806 because that is where the Forms servlets are I presume.
When I TNSPING from the middle tier, it gives me this error:
TNS-03505 : Message 3505 not found; No message file for PRODUCT=NETWORK, facility=TNS. I am not able to understand this. I found that the msg files .msb are in the \Oracle\806\net80 directory.
How can I use Net GUI?. From where do I get that?.

Look, this is normal.
I had the same problem.
I installed Oracle9i and Forms/Reports server on my laptop.
In PATH environment variable the entries for Forms/Reports server came before the entries for Oracle server.
So if you are using a component give the full path to the executable for avoiding misunderstanding.
What is your computer configuration?
What have you installed - standalone Forms/reports server or OAS9i?
OAS9i for Forms/Reports can be installed only with infrastructure DB.
Standalone Forms/reports server do not needs Infrastructure DB.
The best installation will e on different computers.

-- What have you installed - standalone Forms/reports server or OAS9i?
For this installation of Oracle Clinical, I had to install components for the DB ad Middle tier as per the manual.
OS - W2k server on both DB server and Middle Tier. DB server is the PDC.
1. DB server _ Oracle 9i 9.2.0.1.0 patched to 9.2.0.6.0 - Enterprise edition complete.
Created database orcl - not used.
Then installed Oracle Clinical and patched it.
Created and configured Oracle Clinical database and started and mounted database.
2. Middle Tier.
Installed Oracle 9iAs Enterprise Edition. - component configuration and startup -> Oracle 9iAS Forms Server abnd Oracle 9iAs reports Server. (Then instructed to stop and remove the Forms and reports Services). This created 2 homes as mentioned above for the Forms and Apache Webserver.
3. Installed Oracle 10G - Forms and Reports server. i.e. Oracle Clinical uses this for the reports Server. Dpn't ask me why but that is as per the manual. Another home created \Oracle\10G
4. No database created on the Middle Tier. Used only for Webserver, Forms and reports server and Jinitiator 1.1.8.24
--- So if you are using a component give the full path to the executable for avoiding misunderstanding.
This uses java applet, forms servlets and the web - Formsweb.cfg, default.env and so forth. I will post the contents of the PATH on the middle tier at the end.

In Fall 2005 I have installed (and in Germany now work) standalone Forms/Reports server.
Now I have installed OAS 10g (the most complicated configuration -Business Intellegence - it includes Forms/Reports Server).
I warn you that Forms/Reports Server in OAS 10g (not sure for 9i) cannot work without Infrastructure. And this infrastructure is based on Oracle server installed on the midd tier.
May be you do not need to install OAS9i. Directly install standalone Forms/Reports server 10g (it comes with HTTP(Apache) and works fine.
May be you need OAS9i for the Portal (but Portal configuration also needs Infrastructure Oracle instance at least in OAS10g).
Seems you have to read the manual very careful. Sometimes Oracle people do not write them correct and clear.

From what I see and have carefully checked, the information that I have posted is correct. The installation of Oracle components and Oracle Clinical componenets have ben carefully selected EXACTLY as per the Oracle Clinical manual. Keep in mind that this has been done and working in other companies and I am doing it at home.
My point is simply that I CANNOT tnsping my database from the Middle tier. The OAS 9i Enterprise edition installs all the required services including iSuites Agent, Client cache, Http server, Data gatherer, Paging server, TNSlistener, Webcache, Webcache Admin.
All these services are up and running corectly.
So I don't see any problem.
All the logs were good when I did the install.
Oracel Clinical uses the forms servlet as it is web based using Apache http server.
Oracle Clinical uses 10G componets Forms and Reports only for the Reports server.
There is absolutely no database created on this machine where the Middle Tier has been installed.
I have posted all the information for analysis and the path has been displayed. All I need to know is what needs to be modified to TNSping my database.
The only problem right now is that I cannot tnsping the database on the DB server. Network is running fine and I can oing the DB server from the Middle tier.

OK Shwertner,
I have decided to forget about trying to TNSping my database from the Middle Tier. This is what has happened. Normally, to test the connection we TNSping the database to see that all is well. This did not work for me for some reason or for that matter because according to the Oracle Clinical manual, I was not really installing everything that a normal installation would entail.
All I did was that I attemoted to bring up the Oracle Clinical screen from the Middle Tier (used as a client).
I lauched the Oracle Clincial acreen and keyed in a valid username and password. Then I keyed in the database name along with the domain name and after a few seconds, it simply connected and brought up the Oracle Clinical menu screen. Well, Now, I am on my way to configure the application for use.
Thanks for your insghts. You can take 100 points for your thoughts. If you feel that your commenst were worht more, let me know.
This issue is now closed.

The tnsnames on the middletier is used only to make connection to the backend DB.
If you use the Net GUIs (like NetManager) to create the local name string you can also test if it works. This will also give you waranti
that the actual tnsnames.ora is accessed.
