How to make Oracle Developer Suite use different Oracle client version

Hello,
I have installed Oracle Developer Suite 10g (9.0.4) on Win7 32bit
When I run Oracle Forms or Oracle Reports or any DB tool (like SQL Navigator or PL/SQL Developer) and trying to connect to remote Oracle DB 10g (10.2.0.5.0) I get an error ORA-02248: invalid option for ALTER SESSION.
Then I've installed Oracle Instant Client 10.1.0.4.0 and made DB tools use this client and error was gone, but I still get that error using Forms and Reports.
So my qustion is, can I make Oracle Forms and Reports use any other Oracle Client but that was installed with Oracle Developer Suite? Or any other suggestions are welcome how to fix connection issue in Forms and Reports?
I have read many threads and some suggested to set NLS_LANG. Done that, but it didn't help :(

The better question is why are you trying to use an obsolete Oracle product on such a new OS and expecting it to work properly? Are you also using MS Office 95 on this machine? Attempting to hack a solution is fine if you are just learning to use a product or just playing around. However, I would never recommend attempting to do what you are doing.
Oracle Forms 9.x was desupported years ago, long before Windows 7 was released. Trying to use it in this manner is risky at best and not something that should be done in a professional environment. If you are a student or just home user trying to learn on your own, I would recommend that you use a virtualization product like Oracle Virtual Box and create a vm of an older OS. For example XP, then install on that platform. If you are a licensed user of Win 7 Pro or higher, I believe Microsoft is still giving away (for free) "XP Mode". Details here:

  • How to make a text formatting tools in oracle developer suite 10G R2

    Dear Oracle Expert,
    This is my configurations:
    ===============
    1) OS-> windows 7 (Ultimate-32bit)
    2) Oracle Developer Suite 10G R2
    3) Oracle Database 10G
    I create this form but i want it in that way. So, i can format the text written in text box, such as BOLD, Italic, make a url link etc.
    How can i do that using Oracle Developer suite 10G R2.
    Best regards,
    Shimul

    Mr.François Degrelle ,
    Is this the proper command for sign-in the jar file
    set PATH=C:\DevSuiteHome_1\jdk\bin;%PATH%
    C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\webutil\sign_webutil     C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\java\frite.jar
    I am bit of confusing for this command C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\webutil\sign_webutil cuz here sign_webutil is used for webutil configuration. Just let me assure, that this is the right command or not. And if your answer is no, then what it will be.
    Thanks in Advance

  • Using Oracle Developer Suite 10g with the 10g Express Edition Database

    I'm new to Oracle and I'm taking an SQL college level course using a text book entitled "Guide to Oracle 10g". Our text book came with Oracle Developer Suite 10g (9.0.4.0.1) but no database. We adopted the 10g Express Edition (XE) as the database. I have both the database and the Developer Suite loaded on Windows XP Pro. I've been using the database for months now and it runs fine and the Developer Suite installed OK.
    However, I would like to use some of the Developer Suite apps (for learning purposes) with the database but I can't seem to log on to the database through the Developer apps when I open them and use my 10g XE database user-name and password. For starters, I would like to see if I could use the edition of SQLPlus (release 9.0.1.4.0) that comes with the Developer Suite because it has configuration options that are not available in the SQLPlus command line version that 10g XE contains (which otherwise works fine).
    When I open SQLPlus (Developer Suite Version) and try to log on with my database user name and password (and no host string), I get the error:
    ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
    I did search the discussion forum first and also reviewed some Oracle pdf's including the concepts pdf but came up empty. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on how to succeed or a determination of the compatibility of 10g XE with the Developer Suite. Thanks kindly.

    I think your last idea might be helpful at this point and in case it matters, they are both installed on a sinlge machine (laptop). Thanks in advance:
    Here is the Developer Suite tnsnames.ora:
    # TNSNAMES.ORA Network Configuration File: C:\DevSuiteHome\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
    # Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

  • How to Install Oracle developer suite in Ubuntu

    I'm using Ubuntu hardy 8.04, and I have to use oracle developer suite to create some report. Does anybody know how to install the thing in Ubuntu. The documentation mention that I have to use Red Hat Enterprise, which I don't have.

    No Oracle support for Ubuntu is disappointing.
    Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) desktop is more robust than Redhat.
    I prefer using Ubuntu to Windows and will move everything to Ubuntu when I can get my applications installed/supported. I already have SQLDevelper running under Ubuntu and it works just fine.

  • Oracle developer suite installed under a different Oracle Home

    I have Oracle 10g r2 installed on a RHAS4 server.
    I installed Oracle developer suite 10.1 on this server. In the installation procedures, there are specific instructions to not install it under the ORACLE_HOME for an existing database installation.
    Oracle was already installed under /usr/lib/oracle (don't ask me why, I didn't do it).
    I installed oracle developer suite under /oracle/dev. If I set ORACLE_HOME to /usr/lib/oracle, proc responds with:
    Symbol `kpccapCTarr' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking
    PCC-F-NOERRFILE, unable to open error message file, facility PR2
    If I set ORACLE_HOME to /oracle/dev, it works correctly.
    This appears to require me to switch my oracle home setting each time I switch between using Pro*C and sqlplus. This in very inconvenient. I have worked on many, many systems in the past which had one ORACLE_HOME for both the RDBMS and the development tools.
    Is this a new constraint introduced by Oracle? Where does this restriction come from?
    Is there something I don't understand and have I installed the developer suite incorrectly?

    It looks to me this is a mess; i have installed oracle 10g on rhas4 and it didn't install under that folder. I'd suggest to run oui/run installer and show what are the oracle_homes found there; maybe you should reinstall it in the proper locations, under different accounts, etc.

    your 10.2 server uses obviously some different client libraries than your 10,1 developer version.
    You may check this with ldd proc and ldd sqlplus.
    Perhaps you can live with a wrapper script for starting sqlplus or proc meanwhile ?

  • Login vào Oracle Developer Suite 10g, HOW ?

    I already installed a package of Oracle Developer Suite in my pc.
    During installing progress, it does not require me to setup user name and passowrd, but it ask me about username, password and Connect String when I use Oracle Designer or other tools in the package.
    Does anyone know what default username, password and the string is to login ?
    Beside that, how to reset the default username, password following to my option.

    It seems OP has NO database at all,neither local nor remote. And 'installed on PC' looks like homework,no remote access to databases. So a local database has to be installed, the '2 Day DBA' tutorial may help:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14196/toc.htm
    By the way 'scott/tiger' doesn't help when dealing with Developer Suite and Designer.

  • How to install Oracle Developer Suite 8 on windows 8 64bit

    Hi, everyone.
    I have facing problem. How to install Oracle Developer Suite 10g on windows 8. Please send me step by step install.
    Thanks
    Mbulur.

    No version of Forms/Reports is currently supported on Windows 8. Also, because Error Correction support for versions older than 11 have ended, no new certifications will be provided for those versions. I would recommend you consider upgrading to Forms/Reports 11.1.2.1 as we are hoping for Win8 certifications in the future for this version.

  • Using Oracle Developer Suite 10g Without the Oracle Database

    I have never used Oracle, but have used MS SQL Server 7. I need to learn Forms. An Oracle salesperson suggested I download Oracle Developer Suite 10g (the demo product). It includes the Oracle Developer Suite (with Forms Developer), and many other programs.
    The salesperson said it includes a database server, but I suspect it does not. I only downloaded the package last night, and have begun to skim the documentation, but I see nothing that looks like a database server.
    In SQL Server 7, the database engine is run as a service and you create and manage your tables (do all the database admin stuff) using SQL Enterprise Manager.
    So, does this package include a database engine/server? Or must you also have the Oracle Database?
    I don't see a demo version of the Oracle Database - is there one?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi,
    The Developer Suite does not contain a demo version of the Oracle Database.
    You can download the database from this page:
