Database-Related Errors

Problem:

Connection to the database fails with the following entry in the AuthMinder Server log file:

ReportError: SQL Error State:08001, Native Error Code: 30FD, ODBC Error: [DataDirect][ODBC Oracle driver][Oracle]ORA-12541: TNS:no listener

Solution:

Check for the following:

• Listener service on your database server.
• The TNSnames.ora file settings on the system where AuthMinder Server is installed.

Problem:

Connection to the database fails with the following entry in the AuthMinder Server log file:

TNS:listener could not resolve SERVICE_NAME given in connect descriptor

Solution:

Check for the following:

• Database is started. If it is not, this message appears.
• If the database is running, probably the database has not registered yet with the listener. This occurs when the database or listener just starts up. Normally this problem should be solved by waiting a minute or so.
• If you are using static registration, ensure that the SERVICE_NAME entry that is used in the connection string (TNSNAMES.ORA, NAMES, OID, ...) matches a valid service know by the listener.
• You can use C:>tnsping SERVICE_NAME - to check the status or C:>lsnrctl services - to verify all the services that are known to the listener.

Problem:

Connection to the database fails with the following entry in the AuthMinder Server log file:

Database password could not be obtained from securestore.enc

Cause:

The database details may not be available in the securestore.enc file.

Solution:

Use the DBUtil tool to update the securestore.enc file with the database details. See CA AuthMinder Administration Guide for more information about how to use DBUtil.

Problem:

Connection to the database fails with the following entry in the AuthMinder Server log file:

ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel

Cause:

This is a generic error that indicates that the connection has been lost. This can be caused by reasons such as:

• Network issues or problems
• Forceful disconnection of a Server session
• Oracle Database crash
• Database Server crash
• Oracle internal errors, such as ORA-00600 or ORA-07445, causing aborts
• Oracle Client or TNS layer inability to handle the connections

Solution:

Check for the possible causes that are mentioned in the preceding list.
