Can't uninstall Oracle 10g client

Wow. I'm not sure this experience could have been any more frustrating. Now I can't uninstall oracle 10g client...
Some of the components you selected cannot be deinstalled because they are installed using Installer version 10.2.0.1.0. Please use Installer version 10.2.0.1.0 or higher
WHAT? Where do I find this new installer? I just want to revert back to 9i client so that hopefully my oledb connections to my oracle database will work again.
UPDATE: Okay. I managed to uninstall Oracle 10g client. It didn't solve my problem :(
I still get this error...
ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified
I just want to pretend like this whole upgrade episode never happened. What a nightmare.

I just had to click on the same setup.exe icon i used to install it. i didn't realize there was an uninstall option in the setup application.
As far as the error is concerned. When I installed 10g it set one of the registry values for 9i to "NA". Once I changed that registry value back to what it was it worked again. I guess Oracle changes the registry value of old installations in order to ensure they are not active anymore. Since I wanted a side-by-side installation of 10g and 9i I didn't want 9i deactivated. Everything is working fine now.

    I used to 10gR1 version to check out change manager. It was indeed buggy. It was quite easy to configure though and bear in mind, that it's here only for backward compatibility reason. This won't be available in the next versions.

  • TNS-12541: No listner on Windows VISTA (oracle 10g client)

    Hi all,
    After installing an Oracle 10g Client for Windows Vista, when trying to connect to the database, i got the error No listner (TNS-12541). I checked the database listner but it's running and i can connect there from XP OS client. Does anybody have an idea about that.
    tnsping give the same error also but when i ping the server it gives response.
    Any body has experioenced the same problem, if yes could you help please it's very urgent.
    Thanks regards
    raitsarevo

    raitsarevo,
    First of all: it's not very urgent. Very urgent requests end up in a SR at http://metalink.oracle.com.
    Oracle doesn't support all editions of Vista and 10g may not even support Vista at all. Please refer to the download page for 10g at http://otn.oracle.com for further details.
    A non-supported edition of Mickeysoft usually results in Oracle Net issues.

  • Error to connect oracle 10g client and designer BO 4.0

    hello,
    I try to connect oracle 10g client and designer BO 4.0.
    I created an ODBC connection to function in the administration tools of data sources but I can not connect once in designer.
    I tried using the driver directly oracle designer 10 but I have the same error that is this:
    DBD: ORA-12154: TNS: connection identifier specified could not be resolved
    someone there had the same concerns?
    cordially

    Hi,
    so it looks like that your TNSNAMES.ORA file isn`t properly configured. Thats why you can connect with the IDT to your Oracle Database.
    Your DBA`s should sent you the correct TNSNAMES.ORA file or the entry for your DB prior. After the tnsping works, you will be able to use the IDT properly.
    Regards
    -Seb.

  • Oracle 10g Client and ODAC Side-By-Side

    Hi there, I was unable to find an answer to my query by using search, but apologies if this is a double-post.
    I'm having some issues with a ASP.NET application running on a Windows XP Pro machine. The machine has Oracle 10g client installed (oraClient10g_home1), and also ODAC (ODACHome2).
    The part of my web application that accesses our Oracle DB (10g), always gets a ORA-12154 error when it tries to connect, but SQL*Plus and tnsping for this TNS both work on the machine.
    When I use tnsping from the command line it looks like its using parameter files from the ODAC home, rather than the 10g client home.
    On my development machine (where ODAC is not installed), the application works fine.
    Does anyone have any idea if there are any issues having both of these clients installed?
    Or otherwise where my problem could be?
    Thanks very much in advance,
    James Simm

    Thanks for the link, however it hasn't solved my issues:
    The version of ODP.Net installed is 10.2.0.2.20, and the Oracle Client is 10.2, so according to that link it should be able to automatically switch between Oracle Homes.
    The application I'm troubleshooting doesn't actually use ODP.Net, it uses System.Data.OracleClient, but ODP.Net is required for another application.
    I'm extremely stuck, as I cannot understand why I'm getting ORA-12154 when every other Oracle application on the machine can access it.
    Please let me know if there are any other things I can try, or if you need any information from me?
    Thanks in advance,
    James Simm

  • (again) oracle 10g client and oracle 10g express in one computer

    hi again, sorry if this question looks like a double post to you.
    Well this is quite embarassing yet still make some headache for me. I have my office PC installed with Oracle 10g client using admin component option, for connecting some application with database on remote server. Now, after I have developed some basic map using Oracle 10g Express on my home PC, I want to test it in my office network. But everytime I tried to install Oracle Express, it web interface will working normally while all other aplication can no longer connected with remote server from the client. If I remove Oracle Express, all client connection will working again as if nothing happened. I already created Microsoft LoopBack connection using IP 10.10.10.10, edit TNSNAMES.ORA, etc that could possibly helpful but nothing fixed. Strangely, if I install Oracle 10g Database version, all connection to remote server working again, and map application also working. But this kind of installation takes up all my PC resources (grrrr!). Any more suggestion?
    best regards
    net2surfin

    I'm sorry if the information not accurate, but the client connection made by application which try to connect is simply "not resolved" and show no error code/number at all. I'll try to connect from sqlplus though, maybe the error number will be known from this way.
    About 10.10.10.10 tcp loopback, I got this work around from here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b14316/reqs.htm#BABGCEAI
    in the Ora Database Preinstallation requirement, where it states like this:
    +16.In the Properties dialog box, click Use the following IP address and do the following:+
    a.IP Address: Enter a non-routable IP for the loopback adapter. Oracle recommends the following non-routable addresses:
    +■192.168.x.x (x is any value between 0 and 255)+
    +■10.10.10.10+ <---- this is the value suggested that I've been used in my home PC
    b.Subnet mask: Enter 255.255.255.0.
    c.Record the values you entered, which you will need later in this procedure.
    d.Leave all other fields empty.
    e.Click OK.
    I'll try to remove the loopback later and see the ORA environment, to see the result. In the mean time, all suggestions is highly appreciated.
    thank you n best regards

  • 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

  • WIS 10901 / Linux / BO XI3.1/ Oracle 10g client

    I have been installed a server with Linux 4.8 with Bo XI 3.1, Oracle 10g client. When i refresh a report of WebIntelligence on Infoview i recibed the error:
    (CS) Unable to bind to configuration object (WIS 10901)
    (CS) DBDriver failed to load /bo/bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86/dataAccess/RDBMS/connectionServer/libdbd_oci11.so (libclntsh.so.11.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file to directory) (WIS 10901)
    Someone can help me with this issue.
    Thanks.

    I ended up reinstalling the Oracle client and even included an extra component (oracle.javavm.client:11.1.0.6.0 - Oracle Java Client), but the error did not go away.  I made sure I had a valid TNSNAMES.ORA entry and still it did not work.  I checked another server that was working (disabled all but one in CMC to prove it worked) and I found no differences, bother servers reported the following for the /lib32 file:
    $ file libclntsh.so.11.1
    libclntsh.so.11.1: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
    So then it occurred to me that I had installed my last server a little differently from the others and that perhaps I had installed Oracle last and not first.  I still and not sure, but I just logged into the server and did a "stopservers" and "startservers" and guess what, no more error.  I will be watching this, if it throws another error I will post back here, but it seems to me that the old trick or restarting when all else checks out is still a very good solution.
    It occurs to me now that when I had originally started the SI Agent on the problem server that I had not done so with "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" set.  I probably did a "su boappaccount" and my system does not pass that variable through to the new session, I should have done "su - boappaccount" or even "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib32:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" would have worked.  I am not 100% certain this was my problem.  So if Oracle is installed, your lib32 files are good, TNSNAMES is good, then I would make sure that the session that originated the current BO SIA instance did so with the "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" enabled.
