Instance Manager shows green check marks for Node and Listener up for some servers. However, the Database column has a red X 's signalling a "could not connect" status or a question mark, '?' signalling a unknown status. How can this be corrected so that information is shown as to whether databases are available?
In order to retrieve information about a particular database, you must enter login information for that database.
Toad will use this information to check that the database is up. The connection will then be immediately closed.
To enter login information:
1. Click in the 'logon info for database test' box or the 'Connection' column (depending on Toad version) for the appropriate database. A dropdown menu appears with previous login information.
2. Select one of the previous connections, if available, OR select New.
3. If you selected New, the New connection dialog box appears. Enter the appropriate information in the Username and Password boxes and then click OK. The dialog box closes, and the connection is entered in the box.
4. Click Refresh to force Instance Manager to check the database immediately.
