We need to convert our RT db to Oracle, so I ran an upgrade on our
current rt db (3.8.4) and then ran the migration tool from sqldeveloper.
The migration tools created several triggers to emulate the
autoincrement fields of mysql. Do these triggers need to be there? I
assuming that the RT code uses nextval from the oracle sequences. To
try and answer this myself, I thought I would have rt4 install the db
and see if the triggers are created. When trying to run ‘make initialize-database’,
I keep getting a connect error,
Failed to connect to dbi:Oracle:host=localhost;sid=rt4 as user
’rtadmin’: ORA-24327: need explicit attach before authenticating a user
(DBD ERROR: OCISessionBegin)
If Oracle is the db type, I don’t think that a host param should be used. At least
in our case all host/port info is setup in tnsnames.ora. Our new rt4 db will be
on a rac system, so we only want the tnsnames entry used (‘dbi:Oracle:rt4’). If a hardcoded host
and port are used it may not use all available nodes. ‘rt4’ is an alias, the underlying host,
port, and service name can change without affecting RT. Did I setup the config wrong or
how can I change RT not to add the host param.
Thanks You

Hello Scott,
At some point installation for Oracle was simplified, so users don’t
have to configure .ora file with connection details or setup TWO_TASK
environment variable to connect RT to the server. Try to set
DatabaseHost in the config to ‘’ (empty string or undef) and
DatabaseName to SID_VALUE. This should generate the following DSN
“dbi:Oracle:sid=SID_VALUE”. Documentation for DBD::Oracle says that
“dbi:Oracle:SID_VALUE” should work, but it doesn’t say if
“dbi:Oracle:sid=SID_VALUE” is equal. Try it.On Thu, Apr 7, 2011 at 12:39 AM, Scott T. Hildreth shildret@scotth.emsphone.com wrote:
