You need the files sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora. I think the
sqlnet layer looks for them in /etc initially, or possibly
/var/opt/oracle, but setting the environment variable
"TNS_ADMIN" will override this.
If you want to link the stuff dynamically, then run ldd against
a dynamically linked executable, copy across the libraries you
need to the client, ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes the
library directory, and that TNS_ADMIN points to a functional
pair of sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora files. (Ie, you need a
stanza in the tnsnames.ora file that points across to the
instance on the server).
Or something like that. It's not very neat and Oracle support
would have a heart attack. Unless you are running several client
processes simultaneously static linking may be simpler.

  • Oracle client install on upgraded win 2k desktop

    I recently upgraded my PC from win98 to win2k. I already had the oracle client installed prior to the upgrade. I had to run the sql net config and a message came up saying my installation needed to be corrected. When I tried to reinstall the installer (y2k version), it says the oracle home (orawin95) cannot be used for an nt home but doesn't let me overide the location. I can't even get in to uninstall and start over! Is there a workaround?

    Pl indicate which version of Win 7 - you will need Professional or higher - Home versions are not supported/certified, so things may or may not work as expected.

  • TOAD giving error 'NO Oracle Client installed'

    Hi,
    I have a peculiar problem. I have installed Oracle 11gr2 64bit enterprise edition and then installed Toad 10.5 Trial. All the installations were successfull and I am able to login to the DB using SQL* PLUS as well as Oracle Propitery tool SQL Developer. However when I am trying to run Toad it is saying that 'No Oracle Client installed'.
    Do I need to install the client separately and try to connect the server using Toad or some other configuration in Toad can connect to the Oracle DB server.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Anirban Datta

    No you don't need to install client as you have already installed the database. In the TOAD select the correct installed client home on the right hand corner and try again.
    If not successful then restart your PC or re-install the TOAD again.

  • You have no Oracle clients installed: Windows XP client to Oracle Linux ser

    Hallo! I have Oracle 10g Db running on Redhat Enterprise Linux server.Moreover, I have a windows XP client having Toad 9.06 in the XP client. The client does not have any Oracle Db or Apps installed.
    I would like to connect to the Oracle Db sever via Toad. I have placed the server IP on the the IP text box. I placed port 22 (SSH port).I am not sure which port to place.
    Unfortunately, I get the error no Oracle clients installed.
    How do I resolve this?
    Thanks.

    You need to install oracle database 10g client on your PC using windows XP.
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/10201winsoft-095341.html
    Go to this link , download and install the client on Windows XP box. Then edit the tnsnames.ora file and add the TNS entry of your database which you want to connect.

  • Having two oracle clients installed at the same time

    Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to have two oracle clients installed at the same time on one computer, and if there is a way to be changing the default client between the two. I need to have installed the oracle client 10g and 8 versions on the same computer, because we have a problem with a legacy application that for some reason only works with version 8, and we need the 10g because our new applications requires 8.1 or later. We are still migrating to the new system but we developers need to have the two clients. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Is it possible, sure.
    Technically, clients before 8.1.5 were not multi-home compliant, so having Oracle 8 and Oracle 10g clients on the same machine is almost certainly not supported. On the other hand, I know that a number of developers at Oracle had combinations of Oracle 7 clients Oracle 8 clients, Oracle 8i clients, and Oracle 9i clients on their development machines at the same, so you shouldn't have too many major issues.
    Most "default client" issues come down to which ORACLE_HOME is first in the system's PATH. Ideally, you would leave the Oracle 8 ORACLE_HOME first in the path and explicitly reference the 10g ORACLE_HOME when configuring anything that relies on the 10g client.

  • Is it necessary to have oracle client installed for remote access thru' jdbc type2 driver?

    If I want to use oracle oci type 4 driver, do I need to install oracle
    client?
    or is it sufficient to put dll in classpath and classes12.zip in
    classpath.
    I can then specify in jdbc url the host:port:sid and not use the alias
    from tnsnames.ora
    I will be connecting to remote oracle database ofcourse.
    Komal.

    you need the Oracle client libraries installed.
    And the easiest way to do this is to make an oracle client installation.
    the DLL files should be in your PATH, not classpath.

  • Running in 64 bit mode with the 32 bit Oracle client installed

    I have seen many postings on this issue but none of the suggested solutions have helped me.
    I am running visual studio 2010 professional with SP1 on windows 7 64 bit machine. When I try to run a web service locally and call it with SoapUI, I get the following error message during OracleConnection.Open().
    Attempt to load Oracle client libraries threw BadImageFormatException. This problem will occur when running in 64 bit mode with the 32 bit Oracle client components installed.
    I have tried setting up the build configuration and the project settings to target 32 bit but that has not helped. I have also tried removing the reference to System.Data.OracleClient that shows being under Program Files (x86) and add a new reference to the dll under GAC_64. That too did not work.
    I only have the 64 bit client installed on my machine.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thank you

    1. Visual Studio any version is 32 bit ONLY irrespective of hardware or OS bits.  So to DEVELOP with Oracle Client you MUST install 32 bit Oracle ODAC components. Task manager will show devenv.exe *32 (to confirm 32 bit Visual Studio application).
    2. You can run your web application inside IIS/IIS Express in your PC which independently can be either 32bit or 64bit.  If it is 64 bit, you MUST also install 64 bit Oracle ODAC components which means you'll have to install both 32bit and 64bit in your 64 bit Win7 running on 64bit hardware.
    3. In Visual Studio if you compile with "AnyCPU" as target, the resultant binaries (Web/NonWeb) can be both 32bit or 64bit.  So if target PC is "AnyCPU" or "x64", you MUST install Oracle ODAC 64 bit in the target OS if that target OS is 64bit.  You don't have to install 32bit ODAC in the target PC.
    4. One more catch to above scenario is the target OS could be 64bit simulated OS on a 32bit hardware. In such case you MUST install both 32bit and 64bit ODAC components.
    So while you ask your network team to download ODP.NET/ODAC Components make sure you ask them to download both 32bit and 64bit. Total nearly 600MB.
    Hope this helps many people out there.

  • SSIS used to integrate SQ Server and Oracle - Is it necessary both 32 and 64 bits Oracle Clients installed?

    Hi all,
       SQL Server 2012 EE 64 bits (SOURCE)
        Oracle 12c 64 bits (DESTINATION)
       To make my solution - integrate SQL Server with Oracle - work, i had to install both 32 and 64 bits of the Oracle 12c Client. After that, i had to change the properties of my SSIS package to run on 32 bits only (properties > Debugging >
    Run64BitRuntime set to FALSE). Before i made this change, the execution of my package was failing, but after setting Run64BitRuntime to false, the package ran successfully. Why is that?
       I am thinking of unistalling the 64 bits ORacle Client from my Windows Server, but i fear that if i uninstall, my package stop working. 
       Any suggestions/corrections will be most appreciated. 
       Thanks in advance
       OBS1: I am using ODBC as the source and destination tasks.

    Hi FabrícioPJ,
    The 32-bit and 64-bit versions of a provider have the same ID. Therefore, the SSIS runtime will select the appropriate version of the provider to use. 32-bit SSIS Designer always requires and uses the 32-bit version of a provider at design time. However
    when running the package in 64-bit mode that the Run64BitRuntime project property is True, it automatically switches to the 64-bit version of the provider. When it couldn’t find 64-bit version of the provider, the package would be failed. For more details,
    please see:
    http://dougbert.com/blog/post/64-bit-considerations-for-sql-server-integration-services-final.aspx
    So in your scenario, it seems that there is not a 64 bit provider for Oracle in your environment, so the issue occurs. Please make sure you have installed the correct 64-bit version of the Oracle provider.

  • How to find version and arch of Oracle client installed

    Hi all
    I have sles 10 sp2 x86_64 on which oracle client 10.2 is installed. this installation was not done by me!
    so i dont know what version/architecture (32/64 bit) mode of the oracle client is installed on the client.
    from sqlplus -V i get only the version which is installed and not whether it is 32 or 64 bit. how can i find that out.
    sqlplus -V
    SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
    with a bit of googling i found only the below link which says 10g client 32-bit cannot be installed on a 64 bit system.
    i read this Installing 32-bit RDBMS Client software on x86_64 Linux. [ID 1075717.1]
    Installing 32-bit RDBMS Client software on x86_64 Linux.
    The only release of 32-bit RDBMS Client software that will properly install on an x86_64 Linux OS system is 11gR2 (aka 11.2.0.x)
        * 9iR2 (aka 9.2.0.x) 32-bit RDBMS Client software will NOT install on any x86_64 Linux OS system.
        * 10gR1 (aka 10.1.0.x) 32-bit RDBMS Client software will NOT install on any x86_64 Linux OS system.
        * 10gR2 (aka 10.2.0.x) 32-bit RDBMS Client software will NOT install on any x86_64 Linux OS system.
        * 11gR1 (aka 11.1.0.x) 32-bit RDBMS Client software will NOT install on any x86_64 Linux OS system.
    The answer to "why", is that the 11gR2 Client software is the first version that includes syntax so that a 32-bit object is linked.can someone please throw more light on this?

    If you have "64bit" string in V$VERSION it means Oracle 64bit is running.
    SQL> select * from v$version;

    TNS for Linux: Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production

  • Access Oracle 9i from a Client Application without Oracle Client Install.

    Is it possible to access an Oracle Database from a Client Application without having an oracle Client Installation ?
    I want to write a program that connect to an Oracle Server. I use Borland C++. But my Programs only works with having the Client Oracle Software installed on the Client. Is there any way to realise this ?

    The way that 99% of the people that want to do this manage is to write Java code that connects to the database via JDBC, using Oracle's thin JDBC driver.
    If you absolutely have to use C++, you can purchase thin ODBC drivers from third parties (DataDirect for example) that will connect to the database without the Oracle client. I'm not aware of any thin, free ODBC drivers.

  • Oracle client install on Windows Cluster

    Hi,
    Is it possible to install Oracle Client (v10.2) on a Windows Cluster (win2003 Enterprise Edition) so that it is cluster aware?
    Essentially, I need this to support Linked servers and ODBC connections (to Oracle database) on a Sqlserver instance which is going to be clustered . I am exploring possibilities of Oracle client installation which would require minimal or no changes when server fails from one node to the other.
    Any help or pointers to any documentation gratefully recieved.
    Regards,

    Hello there !!!...
    I have a question like that... I just want to know if you can export data to a MsSQL server that is in cluster.
    Thanks for the response.

  • Recovering an Oracle Client Install

    Hi, I had an Windows XP client pc with Oracle Client 11-1-0-6 installed. In my absence this client was reinstalled with Windows 7. Therefore all my Registry and Start - Programs settings have been lost.
    However my original 11-1-0-6 Oracle Home still exists intact on my C: drive ( i.e. C:\app\itjxt\product\11.1.0\client_2 )
    Is there any way I can use the Oracle installer to register this Client Oracle Home again ( so it appears in the Registry and in START PROGRAMS ) ? or is there a way just to get the installer tio reinstall into the client_2 directory again ?
    please advise,

    JimI'd rip it out by the roots and re-install. In regedit, delete HKLM/software/oracle. THen delete the oracle home. Also, on windows, delete c:\users\<youruser>\.oracle

  • Oracle Client install sequence before EPM install..

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to install EPM 11.1.2.1 on a Windows 2008 R2 Standard Server(64 bit). IIS 7. This a development/proof of concept set up.
    I want to install Foundation, EPM Architect, Essbase, Planning, Reporting and Analysis, HFM, Strategic Finance and FDM on the same machine.
    I want to install an Oracle 11g database 64 bit database to use as repository.
    According to the Installation documents, EPM Architect and HFM support 64 bit Oracle client, but Strategic Finance and FDM require 32 bit Oracle client.
    I installated them in the following order.
    Oracle 11g 32 bit client
    Oracle 11g 64 bit database
    Oracle 11g 64 bit client
    I faced issues in configuring EPM Architect where it didn't recognize ODAC installation.
    1. What should be the order in which I should install the Oracle 11g 64 bit database, Oracle 11g 32 bit client and Oracle 11g 64 bit client ?
    2. To install ODAC (ODP for ASP.NET ), I had to use the custom option for the clients, but the custom option shows listener and MTS services.
    Should I install them for each client ?
    Thanks.

    If you are installing this one machine then I would take the route of Oracle DB, 32bit client, 64bit client
    Cheers

  • Perl and Oracle Client Install

    Hi,
    When installing the Oracle Client on user machines, does it not install Perl as well? Something like $ORACLE_HOME/perl/.....
    I am installing the client and I am not seeing this. Or this only for the non-client versions?
    By the way I am installing Oracle 10gR1 (10.2.0.1)

    Ya I did the client install as well and noticed that I had it as well, but for the client install on 10gR1 it is not. This is weird. Basically I am trying to apply a patch using OPatch and it keeps saying that Perl is needed. When I downloaded the Perl manually, it still said that it could not reconize Perl. Any thoughts?
