    Have you checked to see if you have an entry for the database in the services.ora?

    This doc should help

    Hi Jovery,

    I looked at the note you suggested, I ran the lsnrctl status command and received the following result:

    Connecting to (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(PORT=1521))
    STATUS of the LISTENER
    ------------------------
    Alias LISTENER
    Version TNSLSNR for Linux: Version 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
    Start Date 19-NOV-2002 11:58:53
    Uptime 15 days 22 hr. 9 min. 26 sec
    Trace Level off
    Security OFF
    SNMP OFF
    Listener Parameter File /home/portals/NETWORK/ADMIN/listener.ora
    Listener Log File /opt/oracle920/network/log/listener.log
    Listening Endpoints Summary...
    (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=cream.eclecticgroup.co.uk)(PORT=1521)))
    Services Summary...
    Service "PORTALS.world" has 1 instance(s).
    Instance "PORTALS", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
    The command completed successfully


    This shows the service PORTALS.WORLD, it's the database that I can't see - I don't have the option to use the GUI Configuration assistant on this machine.

    The Services.ora file is as follows (no mention of PORTALS)

    cream.eclecticgroup.co.uk = (ORACLE_NODE, cream.eclecticgroup.co.uk, cream.eclec
    ticgroup.co.uk, (PLATFORM=(osName=Linux)(osVersion=2.4.18)(oracleHomes=/opt/orac
    le920)))
    cream.eclecticgroup.co.uk:4443 = (oracle_sysman_webserver, cream.eclecticgroup.c
    o.uk, http://cream.eclecticgroup.co.uk:4443/server-status, unavailable, /opt/ora
    cle920/Apache/Apache/conf/httpd.conf, /opt/oracle920/Apache/Apache)

    Any further ideas would be appreciated.

    Allie

    You could try the following:

    On the target host

    1. Take backups of services.ora and snmp*.ora
    2. Delete the services.ora and snmp*.ora
    3. Stop and restart the agent.
    4. Check to see if the service is added to services.ora

    Did what you suggested with no success, strangely over the past hour I created an instance on another NT machine, this database show's up in the navigator, however the database on the Linux machine still doesn't.

    I refreshed the discovery of all the nodes.

    Thanks for all your help, any new suggestions.

    Very odd

    Do you get any errors/warnings in the following log on the target

    $ORACLE_HOME/network/agent/log/nmiconf.log

    There isn't any log created, there is nothing in the /agent/log directory.

    This is totally stumping me - and metalink dosent' seem to be helping me.

    Is the service now listed in the services.ora or is it still missing. Also can you discover the host if you use an IP address instead of the hostname/dns

    The services are still not in the services.ora file - I added the portals service manually, however as soon as I stopped and started the agent the entries were (as expected) overwritten.

    I have noticed something else, in the navigator tree (where I can't see the database) I also can't see the listener associated with cream (the node) but I can see the listeners for the other 2 NT nodes that are discovered.

    I discovered all my nodes through IP addresses rather than host names.

    For reference I have added the contents of the listener.ora file.

    Thanks again for sticking with this..

    PORTALS =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS =
    (COMMUNITY = tcp)
    (PROTOCOL = tcp)
    (Host = )
    (Port = 10001)
    )
    )

    SID_LIST_PORTALS =
    (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
    (SID_NAME = PORTALS)
    (ORACLE_HOME = /opt/oracle920)
    )
    )

    T01 =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS =
    (COMMUNITY = tcp)
    (PROTOCOL = tcp)
    (Host = 10.0.0.101)
    (Port = 11001)
    )
    )

    SID_LIST_T01 =
    (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
    (SID_NAME = T01)
    (ORACLE_HOME = /opt/oracle920)
    )
    )

    Based on the startup prcess of the IA does any of this help.

    1. First it reads the oratab file to see what services are on the host
    a. Is the oratab file in a default location?
    b. Is it readable by the agent user?
    c. Are the services listed there?

    2. Once the oratab file is read it reads the listener.ora from the $ORACLE_HOME specified in the oratab file.
    a. Is the listener.ora file in the default location?
    b. Is a GLOBAL_DBNAME defined if not it reads tnsnames.ora

    This will create the services.ora file, as you do not have any entries in this file looks like there is a mistake in the definition of one of these files.
    oratab
    listener.ora
    tnsnames.ora

    Can you review them and check they are okay, if you still cannot resolve the problem post the contents and give the locations back on this thread
