Changing culture of Oracle client

Hi,
We recently had to re-install our production oracle-client (due to harddrive failure). We installed a new Oracle client (10g) and everything went right back up quite fast.
but...
I belive the new client was installed with a diffrent culture/globalization-settings than the orignal one. Can I some how change this setting? For instance; a query used to result in a value like (in sweden we use commas, not periods for decimal values) :
7,2%
now comes out
7,2.0%
Using that perticular query on the machine where the oracle server is installed still result in the correct(first) result.
Can anyone help me with this?
/D

Hi,
Try this
Environment level This way will effect only client that uses this environment
Terminal session
(Multi-user environment such as telnet)
In UNIX environment, set the environment variable as follows:
In born, korn shell
$NLS_LANG=THAI_THAILAND.TH8TISASCII; export NLS_LANG
Win95/NT/2000 client
1. Run regedit, Registry window will appears
2. Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
3. Select SOFTWARE
4. Select ORACLE
5. Select NLS_LANG
Type the NLS_LANG and then enter the value THAI_THAILAND.TH8TISASCII
Use your appropriate "NLS_LANG" the above one for example.

Supporting both Oracle clients 10 and 11

Hello,
We have to deploy an application to different client computers - each could have Oracle client 10 or 11.
We don't want to ask users to change to another Oracle client, but we can ask them to install ODP support for their client.
My question is: is ti possible our application to be compatible with both Oracle clients (10 and 11)? How to achieve that?
Or it should detect client version and somehow use different ODP?
Thanks

The first thing to do is to go to the organizer preferences>media analysis and be sure the auto analyzer is turned off.

Provider not compatible version of Oracle client after upgrade 4.112.1.2

I had an ASP.NET 3.5 website running
on intranet small business server as production with:
OS Win2008 Standard 32-bit
Oracle Database 11g107 32-bit
Oracle DataAccess 2.111.60 32-bit
On a development laptop,
I upgraded the website to ASP.NET 4.0.
The development laptop had
OS Windows 7 32-bit
VS 2010
Oracle Database 11g201 32-bit
Oracle DataAccess 4.112.12
Application was running without errors.
On the production server,
I uninstalled Oracle Database 11g107,
to include removing Oracle home and install folders,
and in HKLM > Software > Oracle registry folder.
I installed Oracle Database 11g201
and installed the ODP.NET upgrade to 4.112.12.
(except for VS components).
In the website web.config,
I changed the referenced assembly to:
<assemblies>
<add assembly="Oracle.DataAccess, Version=4.112.1.2, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342" />
I changed IIS70 Application pool advanced settings to ASP.NET 4.0,
restarting application pool and website.
Rebooted system.
On starting the application when it accesses the Oracle connection,
I get the dreaded: Provider not compatible.
Exception Details: Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException: The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client
Source Error: An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

It is not the VB.NET Oracle connection code,
as it runs fine on the development laptop.
So I look into the GAC.
GACUTIL /l shows 2.111.60 is still in the .NET
The Global Assembly Cache contains the following assemblies:

Is there a command I need to run to remove the old 111.6.0 Oracle client references from GAC?
Eventhough Oracle ODP.NET installer put a policy to refer the older version to the new?

there are no other versions of ODAC hanging around,

The application works fine in development laptop.
The application works fine on production server when I use SYSTEM.DATA.ORACLECLIENT.
But we need to migrate away from SYSTEM.DATA.ORACLECLIENT according to Microsoft,
and I am sure Oracle would rather have me use Oracle.DataAccess client anyway.

I even tried a trick from another post to move what appears to be Oracle Instant Client components,

and set references for Oracle.DataAccess.dll to LOCAL TRUE.

Oracle Client 11gR2 installation issue on RHEL v5.4 64-bit

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle Client software 11gR2 on RHEL v5.4 64-bit. I have resolved all the libraries dependency as well as Kernel changes as suggested by the installer. The error in the log file is as attached. At present I have "skipped" this error and proceeded with installation.
While installing the client, the installer fails while configuring the Net CA with error:
INFO: Done parsing command line arguments.

Also when I invoke the SQL Client; sqlplus user@db and enter the password, the sqlplus exits without any error and returns to the terminal console. Please note earlier I has getting a SELinux violation and have changed it to "permissive" mode
Please let me know how to resolve NetCA installation and the sqplus issue.
Thanks & regards,
Vinay

Hi,
Thet NetCA error occurs during installation and I believe the installer should take care of the ORACLE_HOME variable setting.
But before invoking sqlplus I have set the ORACLE_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting in the .bash_profile as mentioned in the installation guide. The snippet of the profile file is:
export ORACLE_HOME=~/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/client_1
export JAVA_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME/jdk
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH;
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
export TWO_TASK=mmcoedb
I am able to tnsping to the server/service name too but when I try to login using the user/password using sqlplus, it simply exits without any error.
Please let me know how to resolve the error.
Best regards,
Vinay

Hi,
Often the error "The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client" is raised when the unmanaged dll OraOpsX.dll can't be found, can't be loaded, or is the wrong version. For version 10.2.0.x of ODP.NET and .NET Framework 2.x the file should be called "OraOps10w.dll" and should be found in the %ORACLE_HOME%\bin directory.
Since the ODAC pieces are installed on the same host as the database, are they in a separate Oracle Home or the same Oracle Home as the database software? If there are multiple Oracle Home directories, which one is in the system path first?
I would start with verifying the version of OraOps10w.dll and the system path on the server. You might also confirm that the Oracle Home directory (and everything under it) has the following permissions for Authenticated Users:
- Read & Execute
- List folder contents
- Read

Mark

Getting "The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client"

Hi,
By reading though posts this appears to be a very common and some people have been able to solve it by putting their OracleDataAccess.dll and support files in the same folder as the exe. However, I tried putting the OracleDataAccess.dll, oci.dll, ociw32.dll, orannzsbb11.dll, and oraocci11.dll in the folder and the problem persists.
This application works fine on my development system (Windows 7 64, VS2010 SP1) and 2 of our 3 servers (Windows 2008 R2). But on this one server it does not work! The problem first appeared when a developer installed ODT with ODAC 112030 on server. We installed a full version of the 11.2.0.1.0 Oracle Client (this matches our other servers) and removed the clients created by the ODT with ODAC 112030 install. However, I fear there is something somewhere that was not deinstalled causing the issue. Any thought on how we can track down and eliminate this problem.
Thanks,
Jerry

Oracle client 9.2.7 in 10g database

Hi All,
Our landscape is using oracle 10g (10.2.0.2) database with client version is 9.2.0.7 and currently we are using sap 4.7.
Is there any chance of causing any performance issue in our environment if we continue to follow the above scenario? I would like to know the stable client for 10.2 oracle database.
Thanks
Aby

Hi Aby,
Last time we also running Oracle 10 with sap 4.7 and oracle client 9.x
Before we upgrade to ECC6.
And we only get some problem with our customer program.
Some of our customer program run very slow, and this because oracle choice wrong index for the SQL
So our programmer need to change the program and using hints
This is the only problem we get when we upgrade the oracle to 10g.

Do you have any Date conversion functions in your Oracle datetime fields? I did run into a similar issue when we upgraded the oracle client and the provider started to decipher the metadata of the date columns. The SSIS metadata conversion for the date
columns yielded dates that were not valid. I had to update my queries to use the TO_CHAR conversion to bring it out as a string and then save it to the date field.
TO_CHAR (DATE, 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')

How to install oracle client

hi,
Could any body tell that, how to change the oracle client of forms 6.0.8.26 , from 8.0.2 to 10.1.
i have installed oracle 10.1 client and forms 6.0.8.26 , now i wanted to make the oracle_home of these oracle client and forms to be same.
Any body tried this way ? i would like to know that how it can be done .
Thanks

Use the Oracle home selector to set the default home or create a user/system variable with as name ORACLE_HOME pointing to the correct path of the home.

Oracle Client 64-bit and Oracle Client 32-bit on the same server

Hi,
I have a Windows 2008 server 64-bit with Oracle Client 64-bit and Oracle Client 32-bit installed on different directories (D:\Oracle and D:\Oracle32)
Is it possible to define for certain applications to use the TNSNAMES entry from the 64-bit Oracle Client
and for other applications to use the TNSNAMES entry from the 32-bit Oracle Client
Once I installed the Oracle Client 32-bit (Oracle Client 64-bit version was already installed) and restarted the server I performed a TNSPING and it defaulted to the Oracle Client 32-bit installation path
Thanks,
Barry

Hello,
When you install a new client on a server, it will update the PATH variable, and add the ORACLE_HOME\bin path to it, at the first place. That explains why the tnsping use the last installed ORACLE_HOME.
What you can do if you want only to change the default path to the tnsnames is to set the environment variable TNS_ADMIN to the path where the tnsnames you want to use is located. You can modify this variable in your application if you want to use another tnsnames.
If you want switch from 32 bits to 64 bits client, then you have to modify the PATH variable.
Hope this will help.
Best regards,
Sylvie

Oledb and path length - Oracle client and networking components ...

Hello,
I've been suddenly getting the
"Oracle client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3.3 or later client software installation."
error when trying to connect to an oracle 9.2 database using the msdaora oledb provider.
"..ora92/bin" is in my PATH environoment variable and the hints about setting read and execute permissions on the ..ora92/bin direction didn't work for me. However, what did do the trick, was reducing the length the PATH environement variable to under 182 characters.
Anybody else seen this that can explain what's gonig on here?

This problem has only recently surfaced, but has now appeared on at least two other systems as well as my own. Any system changes must have happened on all three systems. I have "automatic updates" setup on my computer and they maybe setup on the other computers - could the be responsible for breaking oledb?
Other things I have tried:
The Oracle Oledb provider is also not working. It gives me the error:
"OraOLEDBpus.dll: the specified module could not be found"
When I reduce the size of the PATH variable it works too.
I am always able to run executables from the ../ora92/bin directory. So the path is only being wrongly interpreted by the Oledb providers.

Hi,
There is no record option with 11gR2.
There is no need to use '-record' flag to record/save the response file. At Summary page of installation, 11gR2 installer provides option to save the response file. We can perfom the silent installation using this saved response file
Unix:
./runInstaller -silent -responseFile <saved_response-file>
Windows:
c:\software\11.2.0.1\database\setup.exe -responseFile <saved_response-file>
For more details, kindly refer

Oracle Client 11g on Windows 2008 64 bit ASP Connection Problems

Hi,
I'm trying to set up my old ASP applications on a new web server. I've moved from a windows 2003 server to 2008 64 bit.
I've installed the Oracle Client 11g 64 bit drives and if I create a new ODBC connection tat works fine. But IIS will not connect.
Connection string i've been using is:
Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle.1; Password=******; User ID=*****; Data Source=*****
All i get is no provider could be found.
"3706 Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed."
Can anyone help me out / point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Gareth Owen

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. The app pool is running in 64 bit. I've tried installing a 32 bit version of the oracle provider and shifting the app pool down to that and no joy either.
Have tried changing the permissions on the Oracle folder which gives me no joy. It's as if IIS just has no access to the Oracle provider. But I just don't know how to get this working.
Under windows 2003 things just worked when I installed the Oracle provider...

Could not browse pages from IIS after re-installation of Oracle client

Hi all,
Unfortunately, I hit a issue today in the morning. I could not browse pages from IIS after I re-installed my oracle client on my machine. Below is the error massage from browser.

To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].
When I comment a line for OracleWebEventProvider in health monitoring providers in machine.config, it works fine for me. But, Im wondering what went wrong during re-installation and how do I rectify this issue with out a temporary workaround.
Please let me know your suggestions in this regards and thanks for the help in advance.

After I ran the "uninstaller" on the Oracle CD .. there were services still in existance, however, once I deleted the c:/Oracle folder, they were gone. I also re-booted the pc and double-checked, before I tried re-installing.
Thanks !

Hi,
look into services, is there any services is still exist or running with the same name.
or give any other SID which you have given previously.

Conflict with Oracle_Home in OC4J and Oracle Client

Hi,
I've installed the Oracle Container 4 Java - Extended and I have also installed the oracle client. Since the OC4J - Extended use the oracle_home and the oracle client use the oracle_home, a conflict arise. When i try to set the oracle_home to the directory where I installed the java sdk 5.0, my application server run but I cannot connect to the database server. When I set the oracle_home to the path where my oracle client resides, I can connect to the database but I cannot run my application server which is needed during the portal development. Is there any way that I can run both the application server and I can connect to the database server? Your help is highly appreciated.

Hello,
How do you start your OC4J?
The simplest way is to create a command line script and set the ORACLE_HOME there just before starting the container. Do not change the O_H at the OS level for OC4J.
