Hi Again,

I can set instance orcl in svrmgr. I can connect to SQL through internal, but not with system... If I try to go into SQLPlus with system it gives me the same 2 error messages.

This leads me to believe somehow I have created a permissions/login problem. I have been working on this all day today. I have created a os system user that has Admin privileges and is a member of Admin as well as ORA_DBA groups.

I will continue with this tomorrow... as I have not been able to get into the OEM.

If the ServiceOrcl in "Services" says started... does that mean that orcl is started and accessible? How else can I test it?

Thanks, Cadence
