Instant Client with full client (Solaris)

Hi,
Does the Instant Client come with the full install of Oracle on Solaris, or if there is an option to? Any resources explaining this; I have had a good search on the net but cannot find anything.
I would like to know when libociei.so would be provided, whether this is ever available with the full client. I know this comes with the Instant Client but wasn't sure if it would ever come with the full client/database, or if there was an alternative file that should used.
Thanks.

You are a bit vague.
What do you mean by "Oracle"? Client, Server, ...?
And what Solaris do you have?
You can install Instant Client with the Client installation CD, see
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15692/install_overview.htm#i1106622
or
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15699/install_overview.htm#i1106622
depending on your taste of Solaris.
Alternatively, cou can download Instant Client from http://www.oracle.com.
libociei.so is part of the Instant Client installation, and of Instant Client only.
It is a replacement for the message files and other resource files that come with other Oracle products.
Does that answer your question?

Collision of Instant Client with other Clients (by registry key ORACLE)

Hello,
i'm trying to use Instant Client Basic Lite and Instant Client sqlplus on my Windows XP to connect to Oracle server.
Client files and sqlplus files are in the same directory. I also have installed client 8, 9i 10g and database xe on my PC.
If I try to start sqlplus I receive following errors:
c:\a\-e>sqlplus ntpl/[email protected]:1522/xe
SP2-1503: Unable to initialize Oracle call interface
SP2-0152: ORACLE may not be functioning properly
But if I rename regitry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORACLE to HKLM\SOFTWARE\-ORACLE
it works fine. It seems there is a collision with registry values.
I have already tried to set:
set nls_lang=AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8
but it haven't helped.
Could you help me please?
Thank you very much
Viktor

As far as I know, Instant Client does not use the Windows registry at all.
Is there a chance that you accidentally use the other client?
Which access method do you use? sqlplus? Some API? Which API?
Are both clients in your PATH? In which order?
It's really difficult to sort out problems with multiple Oracle clients on
one Windows machine. I had to resort to Process Monitor in one instance
to figure out what was really going on.

Deployment issue: compatiblity issue with ODP, instant vs full client on PC

After a lot of deployment issues with full client, we thought we had the solution with Instant Client.
It worked great for a while, but now some of our users have full Oracle 11 client installed after installing our Instant Client because of other software that requires full client.
As soon as they install full client, our Instant Client breaks:
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. (mscorlib)
The type initializer for 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleClientFactory' threw an exception.
The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client (Oracle Data Provider for .NET)
Our instant client is compiled with 2.111.6.20, the client is installing a different version (though I tried installing exactly same version does not seem to work either)
I've been experimenting to redirect the version to another assembly but no success.
How can I make Instant Client and Full client co-exist? The whole idea of using Instant was to be independent of other software who needs ODP.NET...
What do you do when 2 apps need different versions of ORacle ODP.NET (e.g. 2.111.6.0 vs. 2.112.1.0)?
Note that I don't have source code access to "our" app, so if it is at all possible through configuration, that is a prefered solution.
I also don't control our customers deployment strategy, they roll out apps over 1000's of PC's

According to documentation at [http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E20434_01/doc/win.112/e23174/featConfig.htm]
>
Configuration File Support
For customers who have numerous applications on a computer that depends on a single version of ODP.NET, the Windows Registry settings for a given version of ODP.NET may not necessarily be applicable for all applications that use that version of ODP.NET. To provide more granular control, ODP.NET Configuration File Support allows developers to specify ODP.NET configuration settings in an application config, web.config, or a machine.config file.
If a computer does not require granular control beyond configuration settings at the ODP.NET version level, there is no need to specify ODP.NET configuration settings through configuration files.
The following is an example of a web.config file for .NET Framework 2.0 and higher:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<oracle.dataaccess.client>
<settings>
<add name="DllPath" value="C:\oracle\bin"/>
<add name="FetchSize" value="131072"/>
<add name="PromotableTransaction" value="promotable"/>
<add name="StatementCacheSize" value="10"/>
<add name="TraceFileName" value="C:\odpnet2.trc"/>
<add name="TraceLevel" value="63"/>
<add name="TraceOption" value="1"/>
</settings>
</oracle.dataaccess.client>
</configuration>

Instant Client with SQLServer2005 Linked Server

I have successfully installed Instant Client 11.2.0.1.0 on my Windows Server2008. I am able to create an ODBC data source selecting the driver "Oracle in instantclient_11_2". I have also been able to link tables from Access to Oracle. I can logon to Oracle through SQLPlus and execute a query against the Oracle database. I am unsure how to set a Linked Server object in SqlServer 2005. When I use "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers" and supply the Product - DBName and Data Source - ODBC data source previously created here is the error I receive:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
"The linked server has been created but failed a connection test. Do you want to keep the linked server?"
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "DB1".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "DB1" returned message "Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 1114 (Oracle in instantclient_11_2).". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7303)
Thanks!

Although the 10.1.0.3 instant client for windows doesn't appear to be "officially out", if I try to download
http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/instantclient/instantclient-basic-win32-10.1.0.3.zip and similar files, the files do exist.
Unfortunately this version still can't connect to my corporate Oracle database:
Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.6.0.0, 64 bit - Production
With the Partitioning option
JServer Release 8.1.6.0.0 - Production
Oh well, back to a full client install of Oracle 9i.
Perhaps the official release when its documented on the Instant Client download page will work.

Instant client with sqlldr (win32)

Hi all,
I am successfully using the instant client(IC) for sqlplus in winXP (32) machines.
Now I would very much need to use the sqlldr in the same IC-environment. Does anybody know, which additional DLLs of the full-client I need?
If I have the choice I could possibly live without certain feature of the sql-loader.
Many thanks in advance for any help in this issue.
Xenofon

You cannot have sqlldr with Instant Client.
Install the regular client.

Instant Client With MS VS-2005

Hi all,
does anyone have an idea how to install Oracle Instant client to work with MS Visual Studio 2005 on client machines.
I am working on a VB application using Oracle 10gR2 database. Should I install Full Oracle Client on each Client PC , or can I install Instant Client ?
Thanks

I tested the Oracle Instant Client with a Oracle 9i release 2 server running on Windows with Visual Studio.net 2005 enterprise.
Here are my tips concerning environment variables:
1. make sure no other oracle directory is in your PATH
2. set your PATH to point to your instant client
3. set your TNS_ADMIN to point to where you tnsnames.ora file is located
4. set your NLS_LANG
5. set your ORACLE_HOME to your instant client
For me, I set NLS_LANG to
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/html/A95493_01/gblsupp.htm#634282
I verified this was using the correct client software by using the sqlplus add-on to the instant client.
For me, I set:
SET NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
Note: before you make any changes, back up your Oracle registry key (if exist) and backup the string for any environment variables.

Instant client with Oracle 8i server

I just installed instant client on my xp workstation, and set up all the variable. I am trying to connect to a Oracle 8i server.

Difference between instant client and full oracle client

Everyone,
I had read the below lines from a goldengate pdf. Someone please explain me what is the difference between instant client and full oracle client?
What is the use of XDK libraries.?
" The full Oracle client must be used with GoldenGate so that the GoldenGate programs
have access to the Oracle XDK libraries. Do not use Oracle Instant Client, which lacks
those libraries. You can download the full client from Oracle’s website."
Regards,
SAKTHi

The dealio is this:
When you install client software, you have several options as to the degree of what you get/install. The big chicken dinner is administrator, so you get all kinds of extra features, add-ons, libraries, utilities, etc. At the hard candy Christmas end is instant client, and that has just enough functionality to, as you may surmise by now, connect a client and that's about it. Various libraries have functionality built in to do whatever extra is required. An example is FAN, or fast application notification, used in Data Guard failover. A FAN API (Java) will detect a failover and re-direct a client connection to the new primary. What GG uses XDK for (specifically) isn't of importance to a user, just the fact that it is available for connecting to Oracle is.

11g Instant Client Oracle.DataAccess 2.111.6.20 vs Full Client 2.111.6.0

My .NET app was developed on a computer where 11g Instant Client Oracle.DataAccess 2.111.6.20 was installed. I copied the application code to another computer where the 11g Full Client Oracle.DataAccess 2.111.6.0 was installed. When I tried to run it I get the following error:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.TypeIntializationException' occured in System.dll
The type initializer for 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection' threw and exception
My .NET app requires the use of sqlldr which does not come with 11g Instant Client so I'm trying to get it to run on another computer with the 11g Full Client which includes sqlldr.
The appilcation was built referencing the Oracle.DataAccess 2.111.6.20 on the computer with 11g Instant Client but the app needs to run on a computer where sqlldr is installed which is on another computer with 11g Full Client Oracle.DataAccess 2.111.6.0.
Am I going to have to install the 11g Full Client Oracle.DataAccess 2.111.6.0 on the development computer to get the app to work or what?

Thanks Mark
The 2.111.6.20 version is already on our production server so I can't replace it. The app that uses sqllder ony runs two weeks out of a year so I'm thinking that I can set up another dev computer(dev2) with the full client and run the app from there. I may try installing both clients but I'm not sure how that will work out yet. I'm still looking into deploying 2.111.6.20 from dev to dev2 like the option 1 you suggested but coping the file from the GAC of dev to dev2 is more involved than I expected. I'm also trying to get the development tools VS2008 installed on dev2 to try option 2 as you suggested.
Configuration
dev 11g Instant Client Oracle.DataAccess 2.111.6.20
prod 11g Instant Client Oracle.DataAccess 2.111.6.20
dev2 11g Full Client Oracle.DataAccess 2.111.6.0
Thank you,

I want to go back to the previous 2014.2 version. .3 is much too buggy and full of error messages. Creating problems as I am on a timeline with my client and I don't have time to fool around with all the problems.

2014 .3 is much too buggy and full of error messages. Creating problems as I am on a timeline with my client and I don't have time to fool around with all the problems.

You didn't mention what error(s) you've encountered? A workaround for the most commonly hit problem is here Re: error in Muse : Object UID:U6875 has two (or more) owners: U3633 and U3165
If you have a copy of your .muse file that has not been saved using 2014.3, you can downgrade by uninstalling Muse and then choose Previous Version in the Filters drop down in the Apps panel of the Creative Cloud desktop app. There will be a popup next to Muse where you can select a prior version to install.

Problem synchronizing windows clients with solaris 10 NTP server

Hello everyone,
I realyy need help on the following:
I tried to synchronize windows 2003 as client with NTP server running in Solaris 10
My Time Zone in the NTP server is GMT+3, and in my windows is also set to GMT+3
When I start NTP server and clients , I got 6 hours delay between the clients and the server
I tried to synchronize the Solaris server with another solaris system, the synchronization is working fine
Your help
Regards
Hakim Fourar

True (but only for later releases). But since he mentioned getting a 6 hour offset after starting them, that makes me think that the systems are communicating, and that the time zones are incorrect.
This is easily verified by using 'ntpq -p' and 'date ; date -u'. The first will show if the client thinks it is synchronized to a server (and what the UTC offset is in miliseconds). The second will show the date in the default timezone and in UTC.
If you're not using POSIX, you'd think that GMT+XX meant east of UTC, but for POSIX, it means west of UTC.

Will OS X Mountain Lion Server work full feature with PC Clients?

I have a small business with mixed PC and MACs, I want to purchase a Mac Mini Server and launch it in our company, we are about 25 employees that might increase to about 40 so I wonder if sevices like Calendar, VPN, Messages, Chat, Mail, Contacts, wiki, profile manager.. etc work with PC Clients, what will and what will not?
I would like if at least, contacts, calendar, mail, wiki, open directory, VPN and iChat work, the basic things one needs in business to work with PC clients, will they work seemlessly, do I need to install certain software on PC clients... any thoughts or pointers?

I recommend using eM Client for windows. The software is not free however I find that windows users seem to like it better then the free software because its more like Outlook with everything in built in.
I would setup both PPTP and L2TP VPN. PPTP for your windows clients and L2TP for your Mac Users. The VPN service on the Mac Server is pretty solid and I have very little problems with windows clients.

SQL developer not installed with the client software

Hi All,
OS: Windows
Clinet: 11g 64 bit
I have installed oracle client for windows 64 bit, as we know with client installation the sql developer also comes with. But in my case, I am able to find every other component but sql developer.
I am thninking of downloading the same from Oracle site, is there a alternate way for the same?
Regards,
Sphinx

What, exactly, did you install?
Did you install the Instant Client? Or did you do a full client install? If you did a full client install, which option did you pick during the installation process-- Administrator, Runtime, or Custom? If you did a full client install that didn't include SQL Developer, you can always restart the Oracle Universal Installer, do a custom install, and choose to install just SQL Developer.
That being said, my bias would generally be to download the most recent version of SQL Developer from OTN separately. SQL Developer gets released much more frequently than the Oracle client so the version on OTN is generally multiple revisions more recent than the version that was shipped with the client. If you're going to be developing code, you may as well leverage all the new features of SQL Developer rather than settling for whatever version was current when 11.2 was released.

RV220W, VPN client, and Full Tunnel vs Split Tunnel capabilities

For an RV220W, which VPN client mode (of the three possibilities) supports which Tunnel mode?
This is mostly a question, and partly "in use" observations.
Background: I have been able to get all three different VPN clients to work with an RV220W, but only one of the three works in "Full Tunnel" mode (SSL VPN). And since I know one of the three -- the Cisco QuickVPN client -- will never with in that mode, do we know if an RV220W will with an IPSec client in Full Tunnel Mode?
If anyone answers yes, the next question will be vpn client and how did you configure it, client and RV220W, to make full tunnel work.
Summary of VPN modes I've gotten to work with an RV220W:
Client
Split Tunnel Works?
Full Tunnel Works?
OS?
Notes
SSL VPN
Yes
Yes
Win7/64
IE10 or IE11
QuickVPN
Yes
No
Win7/64
IPSec VPN
Yes
No

I have to mark this as not a correct answer.
Reason: 0.0.0.0 will not go into either of the fields listed above, message is "Invalid IP address Please enter a value between 1 - 223 at xxx.0.0.0.".
To Michal Bruncko who posted this:
1.) 0.0.0.0 will not work in my router nor in the RV220W online emulator here, (general emulator page here), am I missing something obvious?
2.) Have you used these actual settings on your router, or did you answer in a theoretical, "this should work" way?

Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac. Tried every settings, My iCloud only works with Mail.app

Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac or any other Mac. My iCloud will only work with Mail.app. All the clients I tried work perfectly well as long as I sign in with somebody else's iCloud account. But mine won't work no matter the client (Postbox, Unibox, Airmail...) and no matter the computer.
I can access my account on iCloud.com, but I can't use email clients without getting error messages prompting me to check my password or login.
I was able to use those clients in the past but a couple of months ago I got logged out of Airmail and the issue started just like that!
I tried every possible mail server settings including the following:
IMAP information for the incoming mail server
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Port: 993
Username: The name part of your iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not [email protected])
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP information for the outgoing mail server
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, [email protected], not emilyparker)
Password: Your iCloud password

Those are the correct settings, and they work with any email client that supports Imap.
Try again.
