10g Client only

Hi All,
AIX 5.3
As there is no 10g Client on separate file any more, I believe the Client installation should be an option at the beginning of OUI run?
I have to install Client only, but the OUI offers me Database installation and no other option.
What am I missing here?
What's the way to install 10g Client only?
Thx,

The client media is found on the database download page and is a separate download.
Try:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/index.html
Enterprise/Standard Edition for AIX5L:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10201aixsoft.html
For Enterprise/Standard Edition for AIX5L, download both 10gr2_aix5l64_client.cpio.gz and 10gr2_aix5l64_companion.cpio.gz
I would encourage the installation of the Companion CD for 10g because some Oracle apps like OID will require the companion cd if you decide to use your own database in place of the 10g database home provided by the OID media. Separate media for the 10g client is a change from 9i where the database and client install options were options within the same OUI and install media (at least for Windows and Solaris as I recall them).
I have not installed on AIX -- the OS I typically support is Solaris. For Solaris, the database installation and patching is pretty much identical to the client installation except for the base installation where you elect to either install either the database media or the client media. During the client install of 10.2.0.1, select the admin install. This is the install with the largest disk space requirement and will pretty much preclude the issue where some component you later need is missing. I tried installing the instant client and found that much of what I needed was missing (again, install was Solaris/SPARC).
The basic install outline is:
Client 10.2.0.1
Patchset 10.2.0.4 (or .5 when it comes out). FYI - 10.2.0.4 is the same download for client and database.
Opatch - most current version --- again, same for client and database
CPU patch - most current version ---- again, same for client and database.
If you don't have the patch id's for 10.2.0.4, opatch, and CPU, I can snag them for you on Metalink.

Using 10g client across network

I have my 10g database installed on a SuSE 10.0 box and everything seems to work as expected there. I configured the database to permit remote access to the web administration interface, then opened the firewall to permit http on port 8080. I can now access the web administration interface from a Windows XP Pro box.
I have installed only the client software on the XP box and I would like to connect to the database on the SuSE box with SQL*Plus. I am so far frustrated, and puzzled. The 10g client-only install didn't put the tnsnames.ora file on the XP box, or any of the other usual configuration files I came to know and love from versions 7 and 8i. Also, none of the usual environment variables were created during the install on either the SuSE or the WinXP boxes.
Can anyone point me to resources explaining this? None of the Oracle-supplied docs seem to mention any of this.
Thanks.

Is it possible?Why would you even consider doing this? It's like saying "+I have a Lightning F-40 bicycle and GSX R1300 Hayabusa Turbo superbike. I would like to fit my bicycle wheels on the superbike+".
Surely that does not make any sense at all?

Oracle 10g client and Outlook Address Book

I have looked everywhere that I can think of, and nobody seems to have an answer to this problem. I support an extensive VB6 application, and one piece of functionality, which has been working without problems using Oracle 8i and 9i client, is now having problems when we use it on a client with 10g client installed.
The functionality in question is the ability to click a button that opens the user's Outlook Global Address Book, and return the e-mail address of the address selected. When the application is initially opened, the address book opens without problem. Once the user connects to Oracle (from within the application), from that point on, until the application is closed and restarted, clicking the button to open the address book produces the not-so-helpful error message "This application has failed to start because BJABLR32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." The .dll is present, and the error only occurs AFTER an Oracle connection has been opened. I'm using an ADODB connection to connect to Oracle.
I have tried closing the connection, and setting the connection object to nothing, but this doesn't seem to make any difference. The Oracle connection appears to be working fine, the recordsets that are returned have the correct data in them, and updates perform correctly as well.
I have a sample application (about 175 lines of code) that I can use to consistantly reproduce the error.
If anyone can shine some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated. If this needs to be posted to a different forum, please let me know that as well. This forum seemed to be the closest match that I could find for this problem.

I am having the same problem, did you find an answer? other than resetting the Path, I shouldn't change all the client machines path

Exp/Imp In Oracle 10g client

Hi All,
I want to take one schema export from Oracle 10g Client. I am in new Oracle 10g.
In oracle 9i, we can using exp/imp command for Export and Import from Client itself.
I heard about in Oracle 10g, we can use Expdb/Impdb in Server only. Is there any possibility to take exp/imp in Client also.
Pls help me...
Cheers,
Moorthy.GS

To add up to expdb from oracle client
NETWORK_LINK
Default: none
Purpose
Enables an export from a (source) database identified by a valid database link. The data from the source database instance is written to a dump file set on the connected database instance.
Syntax and Description
NETWORK_LINK=source_database_link
The NETWORK_LINK parameter initiates an export using a database link. This means that the system to which the expdp client is connected contacts the source database referenced by the source_database_link, retrieves data from it, and writes the data to a dump file set back on the connected system.
The source_database_link provided must be the name of a database link to an available database. If the database on that instance does not already have a database link, you or your DBA must create one. For more information about the CREATE DATABASE LINK statement, see Oracle Database SQL Reference.
If the source database is read-only, then the user on the source database must have a locally managed tablespace assigned as the default temporary tablespace. Otherwise, the job will fail. For further details about this, see the information about creating locally managed temporary tablespaces in the Oracle Database Administrator's Guide.
Restrictions
When the NETWORK_LINK parameter is used in conjunction with the TABLES parameter, only whole tables can be exported (not partitions of tables).
The only types of database links supported by Data Pump Export are: public, fixed-user, and connected-user. Current-user database links are not supported.
Example
The following is an example of using the NETWORK_LINK parameter. The source_database_link would be replaced with the name of a valid database link that must already exist.
expdp hr/hr DIRECTORY=dpump_dir1 NETWORK_LINK=source_database_linkDUMPFILE=network_export.dmp LOGFILE=network_export.log

Oracle 10g client not connecting to Oracle 8i server

I have oracle 8i server already installed. I downloaded Oracle 10g client recently. I installed it on one machine and trying to connect to 8i server. I used TNSnames.ora which was already present on the machine. After entering the username, password and service name in SQL plus, I got a error saying server version not suported. Does 10g client not support 8i server or am I doing something wrong ?

There is an 8.1.7.4 patchset for Windows.
If you take a look at the Instant Client forum, there are some discussions on this where one of the Oracle product managers (Mr. Jue) has chimed in. At present, only connections to 8.1.7.4 and higher are supported. It is expected that the first 10g patchset will fix this bug and allow connections to 8.1.7.0 and above databases.

Install Oracle 9i client on a computer with Oracle 10g Client

Hello all!!
I'm using a computer with Oracle 10g client, and I access two databases. One server has Oracle 10g server, and the other server has Oracle 9i server.
I want to install 9i client, to have it also in my computer. I haver read that I just have to install it in a different ORACLE_HOME, but I have a doubt.
If I install 9i client, would I be able to use the utilities, (exp, expddp, sqlldr) of both versions, or which version will be used in the command line for the utilities.
Thanks a lot!!!

To start with, Home Selector is a "9i thing" (and older), in 10g there's the OUI -> Installed Products... -> Environment tab instead.
About the 9i dbca with other Oracle products installed. If you use launch.exe to start via dbca start menu shortcut, it uses ora92\assistants\dbca as working directory ("start from"). So when not looking for "numbered dlls" like oracore9.dll, a later/different version will be loaded if earlier in path, since loading goes through jre directories, ora92\assistants\dbca, then the dir's from path variable. From there it may start to link in libraries from different homes (on my laptop, "launch.exe dbca" uses files from 2 additional home paths!)
But, if you instead use dbca.bat started from ora92\bin, it will look in the right directories first and there's no dll mess-up. (But only when using the correct cwd!)
Plain and simple: stay very far away from multiple-general-home installs. It is possible to install allright, in different homes and all very nicely, but there will be pain when you decide to use the stuff (perhaps with sql*plus as the only exception, but I've run into bugs with that too).

Oracle 10g client with 11g ODBC.

We have the Oracle 10g client on users PCs to use the 10g ODBC to connect to a 10g (10.2.0.4.0) database. Now we are upgrading to an Oracle 11g database, 11.2.0.3.0. Is it possible to install the 11g ODBC drivers onto the users PCs without installing the full Oracle 11g client?

Unless you want to go down the Instant Client path, no.
However, there is probably no need to do anything to the clients. Any version of the 10g client should have no difficulty communicating with an 11.2 database. There is likely no need to upgrade the existing clients when the database is upgraded. The only exception would be if your application is trying to use some 11.2 feature that requires changes on the client to support-- those are pretty rare in this instance.
You may want to roll out 11.2 clients on new machines as they come online but that's likely about all that you need to do.

Oracle 10g client on Sol 10 x86

Hi. I apologize if this topic has been covered before.
I'm trying to install the 10g client on solaris 10x86. When I run the installer with ignoreSysPreqs, the OUI gui is distorted and the text is unreadable. This is a vanilla 10 install with no patches applied as of yet. I don' t want to just presume that this is a bug so I'll assume it's an isolated issue. Can anyone suggest anything?

The patches that are mentioned as requirements in the database installation guide are quite old and should all be included in the latest releases (u9 and u10), so you should be able to install oracle without access to OS support and patches. But I still want to strongly advise against this (for production). If you don't have a support subscription you may also not have a license to run solaris (you can download the software for free, but are only allowed to use it for 90 days) and even if it is possible to install and run Oracle right now, there might be a time when (db) support asks you to install certain OS patches.
So if this is for a proof of concept only, go ahead, but if you want to run this in production, better get support and licensing.

Connect Oracle 10g client to the Oracle 10g database behind a firewall

I need to connect an Oracle 10g client to the Oracle 10g database (windows server 2003 box) behind a firewall. I ran into this problem: Port redirection. Port redirection requires the Oracle client to connect to the database using a different port (usually a randomly selected TCP port) than the default or originally configured one. If there is no firewall between the server and the client, port redirection will not affect the actual connection. However, if port redirection does occur with the server behind a firewall, the client will be likely to suffer from a connectivity failure. The reason is simple: the newly assigned port based on port redirection is often blocked by the firewall. Such failures are not uncommon on Windows platforms.
I don't know how to stablished an unique TCP port.
I Enabled USE_SHARED_SOCKET on the Oracle database server, windows registry. Acording to what I read,that will force the server machine to share its port 1521 and thus all clients will stay on that port when connecting to the database. Noticeably, port redirection will not occur with USE_SHARED_SOCKET enabled, but that's true in oracle 8 or oracle 9. In oracle 10g this solution doesn't work.
I will apreciate any help about this. Please!
Thanks in advanced.

Three solutions in order of preference
1 Use Connection Manager on the server (only installed using a Custom Install). This will tunnel all traffic through a single port. It will also allow you to configure allowable nodes
2 Set up shared server to use a fixed port. Disadvantage: shared server has overhead and the number of connections is limited
3 Use shared_sockets. Disadvantage: when you stop the listener everyone is disconnected.

Oracle 10g client on Domain

We have some problems with a Oracle 10g client instalation:
We installed in a Windows 7 Pro OS on Domain, using an Admin User, Oracle 10g Client. If I use that user, I can connect to DB. If I change the user for a restricted one, I can't.
Sample: Using the restricted user, I try to run SQL Plus for Windows; it starts, but after I fill the User, Pass and DB information, SQLPlus closes without showing any error or warning. In the same way, I can't run any program using the Client.
If I change the privileges for that user to Administrator in the Active Directory, all works without problems (without any change in the configuration)
Any idea about the permisions I should give to the user without giving Admin privileges.
Thank you
Rafael B.

Welcome to the forums !
Pl indicate which version of 10g client was installed. The only version of 10g that is certified on Win 7 is 10.2.0.5. Other versions may or may not work as advertised.

Oracle 10g Client

We are having difficulty getting the Oracle 10g client working for some users. The client installs fine, and works when we are logged in as an administrator, but not as the normal users.
The Oracle Client and our applications are installed on a Citrix Metaframe server (thin client server) running Windows 2003 Server. We install the Oracle client (10.2.0.1.0) on the C: drive, which is hidden from the end users. We then grant permissions to the Oracle directory on the C: drive for them to access the oracle client.
After we install, grant permissions, check environment variables and registry settings, we run Sql Plus to check that we can connect to the database. This all works fine when logged in as an admin ( as do our applications ). But when we try to run SqlPlus as a normal user, we get the login screen, and as soon as we try to connect, the program crashes.
If I run a batch file to try to login to the dos version of SqlPlus, I receive the error:
SP2-1503: Unable to initialize Oracle call interface
SP2-0152: ORACLE may not be functioning properly
I have only found a couple of references to these errors, suggesting that the ORACLE_HOME path must not contain a \ backslash at the end of the path. But this is not the problem.
I even tried refreshing permissions to the registry itself, but that didn't help. I'm really not sure at what point the client is not working, so I'm having trouble debugging.
Any suggestions?

We have run across this problem as well and granting 'Create Global Objects' solves it. However, our Windows administrators are resisting implementing it on production servers, saying it's potential security risk.
Has anyone run across this resistance in their shops and been able to overcome it? I can't find any good documentation that will allay the fears of the Windows groups. Their resisting this change is holding up a project.
Thanks,
Paul

10g client install -- "Error in accessing system registry"

Yes, I am the administrator - there is just one account on my machine and it is me.
I am attempting to install 10g client in hopes of fixing another problem. Everything is a problem it seems.
When I launch setup.exe I get ...
"Error in accessing system registry. You may not have enough permissions to modify registry. Installation cannot continue."
My environment is ... Windows 7 Pro, I do have an Oracle Express Edition installed but since I am having a 32-bit vs. 64-bit issue with an app I am developing in C# 2008 Express, I thought I would try installing the 64-bit 10g standard edition client.

I didn't know this about Windows 7...
http://www.blogsdna.com/2168/windows-7-how-to-open-elevated-command-prompt-with-administrator-privileges.htm
I had to open a command prompt with Administrator privileges. I was tipped off by your link which had paragraph 1.4 Managing User Accounts with User Account Control and states,
To ensure that only trusted applications run on your computer, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows 7 provide User Account Control. If you have enabled this security feature, then, depending on how you have configured it, Oracle Universal Installer prompts you for either your consent or your credentials when installing Oracle Database. Provide either the consent or your Windows Administrator credentials as appropriate.
You must have Administrator privileges to run some Oracle tools, such as Database Configuration Assistant, Net Configuration Assistant, and OPatch, or to run any tool or application that writes to any directory within the Oracle home. If User Account Control is enabled, and you are logged in as the local Administrator, then you can successfully run each of these commands in the usual way. However, if you are logged in as "a member of the Administrator group," then you must explicitly invoke these tasks with Windows Administrator privileges. All the Oracle shortcuts that require Administrator privileges will be invoked as "Administrator" automatically when you click the shortcuts. However, if you run the above tools from a Windows command prompt, you must run them from an Administrator command prompt. OPatch does not have a shortcut and has to be run from an Administrator command prompt.
I followed the instructions concerning the elevated command prompt and then tried the Oracle 10g standard edition client install. I got past the registry problem but then I ran into a Universal Installer 10.2 problem. A window popped up stating, "Abnormal program termination. An internal error has occurred. Please provide the following files to Oracle Support:"
"Unknown"
"Unknown"
"Unknown"
Maybe that is due to 10g not being supported on Windows 7. So NOW I will try 11gR2. :-)

OCS 10g Clients to OCS 9.0.4.2 Backend

Hi folks
Since I'm migrating a lot of users to ocs 9.0.4.2 and also migrating to 10g soon, i'd like to install the client tools on the pc's only once. Is it possible to use the 10g client tools against a OCS 9.0.4.2 backend?
Regards, Christian

I know that the Calendar client 10.1.1 is certified against server 9.0.4.2, don't know for other clients. You should raise a TAR, as the support definetly can provide you with this information.
Regards
