Today in my program, we hit with an almost uncertain error. We were trying to create listener using EM console but it was throwing us an error that the location is not the right one when the location was perfectly alright. I am not sure what actually is the error but despite the best effort, I couldn’t get any clue.
Now , this was not solved but in the meanwhile some one asked me that what is the use of NetProperties file which is available in $ORACLE_HOME/network/tools. This file is used by the network related tools, for example Net manager, Net Configuration Assistant etc. Despite searching alot, I couldn’t find anything about it either. Grrr!
Well , both the things didn’t lead to no where but some how in the search, I stumbled upon a workaround that we need to do these changes in the Netproperties file to make EM work,
1)Go to $oracle_home/nework/tools
2)In the file Netproperties, comment the line INSTALLEDCOMPONENTS=ORACLENET
And it did work. Now the million dollar question is what does this setting means and why did comment it? And the zillion dollar question( since the starting) remains yet a mystery that what does Netproperties file control?
Search continues….

NetProperties File, EM & Mystry Continues….

Hi Aman,
I went through your blog to find info related to what is use of ‘NetProperties’ file in Oracle8i.
My problem is, i am making some configuration for other application, using ‘Net8 Configuration Assistant’ shortcut of Orcle 8i.
after configuration, ‘NetProperties’ file and its contents remaining same, but sequence of its values like ‘INSTALLEDCOMPONENTS’ is changing.
So, my doubt is, is this going to affect functionality of Oracle8i.
Any help regarding this, is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Vishwanath
