How to start to use Oracle client to access Database ?

Folks,
Hello. I have just installed Oracle Client into directory /home/myOracle/Oracle_Client. But I don't know how to start and configure the client to access Oracle Database.
Can any folk tell me how to start to use Oracle client to access Database ?

I have earlier managed to install the Oracle Client (32-bit) in 32-bit clients and servers Oracle Client 10.
The reason that it went well before was the exellent setup and configurationprograms we got with that version.It seems you are confusing the "full" Datbase Client with Instant Client.
Now I'm trying to install the Oracle Instant Client 11g R2 both 32-bit and 64 (of the latest revision) on a 64-bit Windows 2008 Server .
I have managed to install the driver but the setup doesn't give me any Net Configuration Assistant or Net Manager to help with the configuration.What setup? Are you not using just the zip files?
What are you installing exactly, i.e. what install media (file) did you download?
So I haven't succeded in configuring it despite I I read the readme-info that comes with the Instant Client files.There's not much to configure - that's sort of the point of Instant Client. Just drop a few files in a folder, set PATH and off you go.
Doesn't <instant client dir>\sqlplus user@'hostname/servicename' work?

How to use Oracle Client

Dear Buddies,
To the best of my knowledge I understand that Oracle Client is a minimal package to get connected to the Oracle Server in order to access the database. Corrrect me if I am wrong.
I have installed it based on the steps given in http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html
and also other sites.
How do I start using it? If SQL Plus, all I have to do is launch the SQL Plus, get connected and start using the database. How should I use this Instant Client? Please guide me. Is it compulsary to use it with SQL Plus? or some other tools?
I also tried the methods mentioned in this pdf http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/oraclenet/files/OracleNetServices_NetEasyConnect.pdf
but it doesn't help me as well.
Expecting your support and reply.
Thanking you in advance.

You need a client program that uses Oracle client to connect to an Oracle Database.
One such program is "sqlplus", it is the command line interface.
Its usage is described extensively in
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/toc.htm
See specifically
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/ch3.htm#sthref610
for how to connect to a database.

How do I check the oracle client version?

Hi All,
     How do I check the oracle client version installed from the OS level. I do know my database version I need to check which client is being used. Is there a table where this information is stored.
Thanks
Shabna

disp+work.exe -V will tell you which OCI version was used during compiling and linking.
Oracle uses release independent DLL Names (Unix people would say Shared Libraries) and therefore the SAP Kernel will dynamically load any Oracle Client Version found in the standard DLL Load Path during startup.
If you have more versions installed on your computer and you are not shure which one is loaded you can use Process Explorer (freeware, see www.sysinternals.com) to find out which one is loaded. If they belong to an Oracle_home (up to release 9.2) refere to Oracle Universal Installers Inventory information in order to find out which exact version is used.
If an Oracle10 Instant Client is used, there is no corresponding Oracle_Home. In this case you can use Windows Explorer (right click on the DLL -for example oci.dll), select properties, the Version Tab and File Version).
But unfortunately Oracle is not updating the File Version every time they are patching something.
An SAP ABAP Server Integrated Resource is the version information disp+work.exe -V is listing (evquivalent to SM51 - Release Information).
<b>Datenbank Client Library : OCI_10201_SHARE (10.2.0.2.0)</b>
OCI_10201_SHARE is telling us the compile/link environment, the number in brackets (only available starting with Oracle10) tells us the the result of an Oracle Client GetVersion call. Unfortunately this one does also not reflect the installed Minipatch version up to now.
Here are some results on 10.2.0.2 Windows X86_64:
SM51: Datenbank Client Library : OCI_10201_SHARE (10.2.0.2.0)
Explorer (OCI.DLL located in the same directory as disp+work.exe):
   10.2.0.2.0 Patch2
Explorer (oraociicus10.dll - the instant client implementation, this version is the one actual since mini patch 10.2.0.2.5 and it was definitely changed in 10.2.0.2.5):
   OraOCIICUS10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0
   oracore10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   oranls10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   orasnls10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   oraunls10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   oravsn10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   oracommon10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Patch1
   orageneric10.dll - 10.2.0.2.0 Patch2
   oraclient10.dll - 10.2.0.2.0 Patch2
   orapls10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Patch1
   orasql10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   oraxml10.dll - 10.1.0.2.0
   orahasgen10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   oraocrutl10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   oraocr10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   oraocrb10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   oranbeq10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   orantcp10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
oracommon10.dll from the rdbms server does report 10.2.0.2.0 Patch5 at the same time. compare it with the version information of oracommon10.dll included in oraociicus10.dll. Both patches are included in the same patchset (10.2.0.2.5).
there are two possible conclusions about this:
1. the version infomation is not very reliable.
2. the Oracle Patch and Build environment is not very reliable

How to start and stop Oracle Application Server from ANT

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
You can use: startManagedWebLogic.sh, it is in your domain directory and you have to execute it in this way
./startManagedWebLogic.sh managedServerName http://adminServerHost:adminServerPort
For instance, in my case I use:
unixserv01:/webportal/domains/appServerWeb/bin>startManagedWebLogic.sh managedServ01 http://pelma3w3per01.mesaperu.next:7001
You have to run it on the machine where the managed server was installed.

HOW TO GET INFORMATION ABOUT THE CLIENT MACHINE AT DATABASE LEVEL

hi, you can use the sys_context function, like this:
select sys_context('userenv','current_user'),
     sys_context('userenv','os_user'),
     sys_context('userenv','host'),
     sys_context('userenv','ip_address'),
     sys_context('userenv','instance'),
     sys_context('userenv','sessionid'),
     sys_context('userenv','terminal')
from dual;
Is this what you 're looking for?

How to connect sql server using oracle Client

Hi,
I am working in oracle9i and windows os 32 bit.
I need to connect SQL server 2000 from my oracle client..
I heard about heterogeneous connectivity ...
Please expalin me the steps what to add and how to connect the sql server...
Regs....

Are you trying to connect to SQL Server from your Oracle database (i.e. create a database link in Oracle to SQL Server)? Or are you trying to connect to SQL Server using your Oracle client software (i.e. SQL*Plus)?
The former just requires Heterogeneous Services with Generic Connectivity. The latter is functionality that has been depricated and probably no longer works in your environment.

How to start manually an oracle 8i database with a bat file?

Hi all,
I know it's not the place but it is a really common question: how can i start manually an oracle 8i database on windows 2000 without using a service? I don't remember the command. I tried: oracle start SID without success...
Thanks
JMi

Dear JMD,
If you would like to startup the Oracle instance using a batch file then first create a SQL file (say ABC.SQL) wherein enter the following two lines:
connect internal/<INTERNAL_PASSWORD>
STARTUP
<INTERNAL_PASSWORD> above is the password for the INTERNAL user account (default password is "oracle")
Then create a batch file (say START.BAT) and enter the following single line:
<ORACLE_HOME>\bin\svrmgrl @<ABC_DIR>\ABC.SQL
where <ORACLE_HOME>\bin\svrmgrl is the full path of the SVRMGRL.EXE executable and <ABC_DIR> is the directory in which you have placed the ABC.SQL file.
Now you can startup the Oracle database by simply double-clicking on the START.BAT batch file.
Ciao!

How to start and shutdown Oracle Applications 11i?

Currently, I've installed an Oracle Applications version 11i under Sun Solaris environment. However, I encountered problems when I tried to backup the whole system for fallback purpose. I'm not really sure about the procedures in shutting down the Oracle Applications components. So, is there anyone could tell me such procedures, hopefully including the command used for shutting down the whole application system? Thanks.
Besides, I would like to know how can I start Oracle Applications 11i as a daemon? If cannot, how can I start the server within the UNIX shell? Thank you very much.

You will have specified a common directory in your installation, which is usually referred to as COMMON_TOP.
Under <COMMON_TOP>/admin/scripts there are a host of shell scripts for stopping, starting apps components. Also, under the database Oracle Home (816 or 817) you will find an appsutil directory with similar scripts.
Typically these two directories will be in your PATH.
You can create a stop script, typically as:
adfrmctl.sh stop
adrepctl.sh stop
adfmsctl.sh stop
adfmcctl.sh stop
adapcctl.sh stop
adcmctl.sh apps/apps_password stop (wait till FND processes cease, a sleep 300 might suffice)
adalnctl.sh APPS_<SID> stop
addlnctl.sh <SID> stop
addbctl.sh stop
A start script would call the same scripts in the reverse order, substituting stop for start.
