BR*Tools 7.x, Oracle 10.x, instant client 10.x and Kernel 6.4

All,
Please keep in mind I am running Kernel 6.4
When upgrading a 9.2 database to 10.2, the documentation indicates you should upgrade BR*Tools to 7 and the instant client to 10.
Can I have the following configuration running and working:
Oracle 10.2.0.4
BR*Tools 7
InstantClient 10.2
Kernel 6.4
I ask - b/c I don't believe the 10.2 instant client supports the 6.40 Kernel - but I could be wrong (and I hope that I am).
Any help on this is appreciated.
Thanks,
Sean

Hi Sean,
Please go through the following sap notes also:
948294 - AIX JFS2: mount options to use with Oracle 10g
830576 - Parameter recommendations for Oracle 10g
since we have upgraded from 9.2 to 10.2 and
we have tested successfully BRTOOLS 7.00 (39) on Dev server,
also BRTOOLS 6.40 (40) is successfully running on Production server server

Instant Client 11.1 and Visual C++ 2005

Hi..
I'm trying to develop a simple program in c++ using OCCI in MS VC++ 2005 but I can't seem to link the right files.
Can someone help me out with some steps to how to make things work? I'm not used to Visual studio and even less to Oracle libraries.
Since I wanted to not use a lot of space I've downloaded the Instant Client 11.1 and the Instant Clien SDK from the same version. I've been palying with the PATH variable and some extra linking libraries in Visual Studio but I'm still getting some errors.
Are those the only things I have to download and how can I put it to work with Visual C++?
Thanks..

ligacao = env->createConnection (user, passwd, db);
where db is a string in the form of: dblocation:1521/apexMy db string is either:
"//host:port/SID" where SID is of the form DBNAME.DOMAIN, i.e. the full database name as entered in dbca;
or
"SID", where SID is just the DBNAME "alias" (I guess) configured in tnsnames.ora, $ORACLE_HOME/NETWORK/ADMIN.
Note that I'm no expert in these things. I figured out the first form from the doc, and was shown the second by an Oracle Consultant who did the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora himself. See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/network.111/b28316/naming.htm#NETAG255

MIT Kerberos integration via Oracle ASO for Instant Client

Is Oracle planning on adding support for the Oracle ASO module (specifically for the use of MIT Kerberos authentication) to the Oracle Instant Client?
Last time I checked (about 2 years ago) they had not, but I'm hoping they are working on it.
Update: I originally posted this back in Feb 2007, and now it's June 2007...... No replies..... Does anyone know if Oracle will add support for MIT Kerberos Authentication to the Instant Client?

I haven't seen many requests of ASO support being requested for Instant Client nor have I heard of it being included any time soon (in any Instant Client-related press). You should pose the question to Oracle support or your Oracle sales representative.

Instant Client for Win32 and ODBC Application

Hi.
I just want to know how will Instant Client handle an ODBC Data Source in Windows 9X/2000/XP.
Will it be a new ODBC Driver?, Can developers like me ship that "driver" with the application so that the end user could just open the application and use it without any other installation?.
How many disk space will Instant Client need?, do we need to set up the Instant Client to connect to the source, as we need to do with the current client software, or will it be enough to set the Connection String?
Thank for your help, I am developping a little application for my company that need to access an Oracle Database and need to be installed for many users on Windows XP Desktop Machines.

I noticed your reply to this topic and I am
having the same problem with OLE DB or ODBC.
I posted the following on another message and
nobody has answered. There are also no examples
in the Oracle web site on how to connect to a
remote client using ADO. Any help will be
appreciated, Tony.
I am trying to create an installation package
from Visual Basic (version 6.0) that will let
me connect to a remote Oracle database. Does
anyone know what needs to be installed on the
client machine? I created a standard package
and it does not work on the client.
My connection string is as follows:
Dim adoCn As New ADODB.Connection
adoCn.Provider = "OraOLEDB.Oracle"
adoCn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=PSYTEST" _
& ";User ID=SYSTEM" _
& ";Password=Ciao" _
& ";PLSQLRSet=1;" _
& ";Remote Server=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
adoCn.Open
The xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the
server. The program works when I use it on
the local machine, but it does not work when
I create an installation package and I install
it on a remote client machine.

Instant Client for ARMv7 and ARMv8?

I don't see Instant Client binaries being available for any of ARM architectures (arm-linux). Considering that ARMv7 is already available on server market and ARMv8 is coming soon enough, will there be any binaries compiled for such architectures (soft and hard fp versions)?
I would prefer not to use any kind of gateway (x64-84 machine) to access the database.

Make sure that you have only one Oracle Client on the client machine.
Delete/uninstall all others. Best uninstall all Oracle Software on that machine and reinstall one client.
Before you try to connect from a PHP script, try to connect with sqlplus. If that works, proceed.
The PHP you use must compiled and linked against the Oracle client version you use, else it won't work.
Now try again. If you still get the same errors, post the error messages and relevant parts of the PHP script.
Be aware that this forum is for Instant Client, so there might be better forums for PHP questions.

Oracle instant Client and memory

Hello everybody,
I have just installed the Oracle Instant Client on my Linux server (Redhat distibution), I recompiled PHP (4.4.2 version) with the oci8 extensions and I reboot Apache (1.3.34 version)...
In short, the installation of OIC goes perfectly (No error messages...), and I can request a remote Oracle server from a PHP file. (All this, for one PHP script that I use only once a day, to load data in a MySQL table).
However, since I installed the OIC, my Apache processes exceeds the 200 MB and my server has a commit memory more than 2GB (sometimes it goes until 5GB).
Is it a problem that can come from the OIC ? Maybe, a parameter could fix that problem ?
Thx in advance.
Maat

If you can't upgrade from PHP4, you should upgrade at least the OCI8
extension. All PHP 4 releases have a very, very old version of OCI8.
Steps to upgrade are given in the free Underground PHP and Oracle Manual
The Instant Client Basic package uses a chunk of (shareable) memory
for all its NLS data. The Instant Client Lite package uses a smaller
footprint.
Make sure you know what you are measuring and whether what you are
seeing actually has an effect on performance.

Instant Client to connect to Oracle 8i

Does anyone know where I can download a version of Instant Client that is compatible with Oracle Server 8i (8.1.7.0). The only download I can find is for 11.1 and that's not compatible.
All I'm trying to do is setup some OLE DB data sources in SSIS to pull Oracle 8i data into sql server 2005, but getting a little bit more than I bargined for...
Thanks

Here
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/winsoft.html
you can find Instant Client 10.1 and 10.2 for Windows.
These can be used to access Oracle 8.1.7.4, but they do not include an OLE DB provider.
If you want to use OLE DB to access an Oracle 8 server, you'll have to install the regular client (10.2 optimally).

Triying to intall oracle instant client

Hi Buddies;
I have to install oracle instant client in linux5 Red hat Enterprise.
I got to create the next:
Instant Client Package - Basic and Instant Client Package - SQL*Plus unzip it and make sqlplus runnable from anywhere ( set new PATH or copy to defined PATH) and test SQLPLUS sqlplus user/passwd@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(Host=IP or hostname)(Port=port))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=sid)))
Is the first time I doing this; So I proceed to download the following files:
instantclient-basic-linux32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip
oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.3-1.i386.rpm
I unzipped the firt one and now I got a new directory (instantclient_10_2) whi these files:
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 72480394 Nov 15 2006 libociei.so
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 67053 Nov 15 2006 genezi

-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 120135 Nov 15 2006 libocijdbc10.so
My doubt is, which of them to execute?
And what I have to do with file oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.3-1.i386.rpm?
Besides, I don't see anything related with sqlplus, and I understand I need that.
May be this is something simple, but I not sure what to do.
Could somebody help me ?
Thanks and best Regards;
Al

At first try to check the Instant Client download page again: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/linuxsoft.html
As you can see there are several categories of packages and description for these packages.
Instant Client Package - Basic: All files required to run OCI, OCCI, and JDBC-OCI applications
Instant Client Package - Basic Lite: Smaller version of the Basic, with only English error messages and Unicode, ASCII, and
Instant Client Package - JDBC Supplement: Additional support for XA, Internationalization, and RowSet operations under JDBC
Instant Client Package - SQL*Plus: Additional libraries and executable for running SQL*Plus with Instant Client
Instant Client Package - SDK: Additional header files and an example makefile for developing Oracle applications with Instant
Instant Client Package - ODBC: Additional libraries for enabling ODBC applications
Instant Client Package - WRC: Workload Replay Client used to replay workload for RAT's DB Replay Feature
You need to download those packages which are required for your application (for example).
Packages are provided in two versions. ZIP and RPM (for Redhat Package Manager).
You don't need to download both of versions. You can choose only one - ZIP or RPM, it depends on you.
Now you said, you need to use SQLPLUS.
1.So, you need to download these two packages (assume that you are running 32bit Linux):
instantclient-basic-linux32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip
instantclient-sqlplus-linux32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip2. Unzip these packages and you will see new directory named instantclient_10_2
3. Place this directory where you want (i.e to /opt directory)
mv instantclient_10_2 /opt/4. set the environment (still using /opt directory)
export PATH=/opt/instantclient_10_2:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/instantclient_10_2Note: To make this settings permanent put this commands to shell profile file (i.e.: For bash it is .bash_profile file) in user's directory or to /etc/profile file to make this settings global for any user.
5. Tnsnames file. By default TNS settings is searched in these directories and in order as follows:
/home/<current user>/.tnsnames.ora (Note the dot in .tnsnames.ora in this case)
/etc/tnsnames.ora
/<path to directory where the instant client directory is located>/instantclient_10_2/network/admin/tnsnames.ora (in our case it's the /opt directory)
Hope that helps.

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.
Yours,

Oracle 11g INSTANT CLIENT for Mac OS 10.8 with SQLLDR and WRAP

To Oracle please upgrade INSTANT Client 11g and/or 12c (future) and include two additional utilities I always use SQLLDR and WRAP. Currently I have to open a Linux VM to wrap and use SQL*Loader. I would prefer to do it all in the terminal window.
Actually I would like to see sqlldr and wrap utilities included with all instant clients (Linux, Windows, Mac OS, etc)

Can you see the difference? (btw i am sure, genezi -v as sidadm worked with 11.2.0.1)

PS: the cause for the behavior is, that there is always a client library in the $ORACLE_HOME directory too. And you have to be careful which one you (genezi) picks...

Libnspr4.dll fails to load if Oracle instant client installed

I have tried Instant client 10.2 and 11.2 and this dll fails to load. If I go back to Oracle full client 10.1 the Message queue works correctly.

I'm trying to load from .\lib and I've found that it is really looking for .\lib\lib. That is workaround for now.
Something is changing where . is.

Instant client with ODBC driver

Hi, I have problem with the instant client version 10.2 with ODBC driver. I have the instant client base package and ODBC package installed in my computer. the Oracle ODBC driver did appear in the ODBC driver list, when I test the connection with driver, it gives error "Unable to connect, SQLState=08004 [ORACLE] [ODBC] ORA-12154 TNS could not resolve the connect identifier specified" I have another computer which has Oracle 8i client installed and works fine. I copied sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora to the instantclient installation folder, same error appears. here is the contents of sqlnet.ora:
# SQLNET.ORA Network Configuration File: c:\oracle8i\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES)
here is the contents of tnsname.ora:
# TNSNAMES.ORA Network Configuration File: c:\oracle8i\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
barkeep =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = barkeep)
I test the host connection with telnet, it works.
can anybody out there walk me through how to set up instant client?
thanks.

Thanks Sanjay - I had this problem and your suggestion fixed it: setting the TNS_ADMIN did the trick.
Note: This was on a development PC which already had the Oracle Client drivers installed (so I already had a different TNS_NAMES.ORA in that installation).
It is worth noting that on my target deployment machine which DOESN'T have the Oracle Client drivers (just the InstantClient + Instant-ODBC) I didn't need to set TNS_ADMIN
I'm using the 11g InstantClient (11.1.0.6.0 32 bit)
Hope this helps someone, and thanks again Sanjay for posting :o)

Instant client and jdbc bug 6362104

I am having a problem with the latest version of the instant client for Linux and tomcat. The error message I get is: "Error while registering Oracle JDBC Diagnosability MBean" which has been determined to be bug 6362104. It looks like there is a patch for the jdbc but I was wondering if there will be a patch for the instant client to correct this?
I ran the check java -jar ojdbc6.jar and it is definitely the unpatched version as the plus sign does not show up on the word Production. Is it as simple as getting the patched jar file and copying it in?

Hi:
I had already downloaded and installed the base package, the SQLPlus package and the ODBC packages from Oracle. I unzipped all 3 into a common directory, and ran the .exe that installs the Oracle ODBC dlls etc so that the Windows ODBC Data Source Administrator knows about them. ( Before that, the Oracle ODBC choice wasn't in the admin pulldown). My problem is in trying to now create an ODBC data source using those Oracle drivers. The Windows admin tool still seems confused in that I can't select the ORCL service I know to be out there.
What am I trying to achieve?: I have a perfectly fine Oracle 10gR2 database running and I have connected to it with some Java based web services and isqlplus etc. to do what I need to do. Other users are creating a C++ application on Windows XP that needs a database, and would like to use my database via ODBC connections.
What application?: A custom C++ application that merely wants to store some data in very simple tables in the 10g database.
Why ODBC?: Well, other than the PITA driver installation, it's a fairly good way for a C++ program to connect to Oracle. I'd rather not have to have them worry about OCI or Pro*C or whatever it is.
Why have I chosen Instant Client?: I was under the impression (as I think I stated in the initial message?) that it was the way to give access to these C++ coders to the database with the smallest Oracle footprint on their machines. I know I could load the entire Oracle Client and I may have too, but Instant Client's raison d'etre is so that one does not HAVE to load a big fat Oracle client, is it not?
Thanks
