10g connection manager

Any reasons why this question has been neglected?
Would appreciate a response,thanks

What exactly did you type that gave the error?

It appears you're almost there but you may have taken a small wrong step.

R.

all I typed was cmctl start
and it gave me the error
thanks

simply type cmctl (without the start)

Try

cmctl startup

or

cmctl

Then

cmctl>startup

R.

will try and let you know thanks.

Hi,
its giving me the following error:
TNS-12535: TNS:operation timed out
Please help.
thanks

Hi,
I al really looking for help here.
I installed now 10g Net services on unix server.
Put in a entry in cman.ora and put it at /oracle/product/cman_home/network/admin
Not sure what else needs to be configured.
thanks in advance .

You may be having firewall problems.

Have you tried tnsping to ensure traffic reaches the server?

R.

I can do a tnsping and sqlplus too.
Only when I try to start the connection manager it gives me the error.
thanks

Show content of cman.ora

What is the CONNECT_TIMEOUT value in listener.ora?

Are you doing sqlplus/tnsping successfully from this same machine?

Any firewall rules between this machine and the server?

R.

Contents of cman.ora :
cmanprod = (ADDRESS_LIST=
           (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=prodmachine)(PORT=1630)(QUEUESIZE=32))
       )

cman_admin = (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=prodmachine )(PORT=1830))

The database is on a different server called test machine and 10GOCM has been installed on a different server.
The cman.ora is from the test server machine.
Is there anything else we need to configure.
There are no firewall issues between the two servers.
I can tnsping from test server to database server.
thanks a lot for your help.

>> cman_admin = (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=prodmachine )(PORT=1830))
Can you remove extra space between "HOST=prodmachine )" and retry.
While working with Oracle XE, I got TNS related problem and that problem resolve after removing extra spaces beteen host_name and ")"

In the cman.ora file there is no space between the host and prodmachine name.
thx

The space is only when I cut/paste the entry from my actual file to this forum and replace the hostname that the space is shown.
In the actual cman.ora file there is no space between the HOST=prodmachine and the closing bracket.
cmanprod = (ADDRESS_LIST=
           (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=prodmachine)(PORT=1630)(QUEUESIZE=32))
       )

cman_admin = (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=prodmachine)(PORT=1830))

thats a typo only while while editing for posting the question in the forum.
My parameters do seem correct though:)
thanks

What is the CONNECT_TIMEOUT value in listener.ora?

R.

This is on the database server -listener.ora file.
STARTUP_WAIT_TIME_LISTENER = 0
CONNECT_TIMEOUT_LISTENER = 10
thx

Increase it from the default 10 to something like 60 and try again.

R.

I found out the 10g OCM is very different from all the other lower versions and configuration requires listener.ora and init.ora file modifications.
