How to create connection to cluster of Oracle database server?

Hi, all!
I have to create connection to Oracle cluster. How to do that?
I can make a connection to one server but to cluster ....
I saw many documents but without any result.

Hello
Two servers with oracle database server installed organized as a cluster.
Both server work in parallel, when one of them stop work the other takes connection automaticaly.
The connection to the cluster is not usual as a one server.
I have to specify both servers.Any time i can make a connection to one of them but when he stop work my connection will be broken.
Because of that the servers work under oracle server software.
So i can make a connection to one of them and both.
This is made because it is for production firm with many test computers that work 24/7 and send information to this oracle server.
So i have to make a connection to the general oracle cluster (the two servers simultaneously).
I saw some connection strings to do tha written on Visual Basic but i have no idea how to do that in C/C++.
There is no information about that in the Oracle tutorials and manuals.
I need this explanation because i make a connection without TNS config file.
Can you help me?
I will be very appreciated.

Cannot connect to Oracle database from SQL Server

Hi
We have set up a SQL Server linked server and tried to use this SQL Server linked server to connect to Oracle database. We are using SQL Server 2008 and Oracle client 11g 11.02.00.01. However, we got this error message:
Msg 7347, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'OraOLEDB.Oracle' for linked server 'OurLinkedServer' returned data that does not match expected data length for column '[OraOLEDB.Oracle].Ourfieldname'. The (maximum) expected data length is 6, while the returned data length is 2.
We are able to connect some of the tables ok but some of the tables are not connected and got the above error message.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot
Tom

Hi
Here is more information. We just found out that the Oracle database team changed the character set to something else and then they changed it back to UTF8.
Currently, it is using UTF8 character set on the Oracle side. Will this causing us this error message on our sql server linked server?
The error message said "The (maximum) expected data length is 6, while the returned data length is 2."
This refers to a field/column with char(1)
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated
Thank you
Tom

Not able to connect remote oracle database over VPN

I can not connect remote oracle database over VPN. tnsping is ok and it shows the server information of remote database. i can also telnet the 1521 port of remote database server. I can connect the same server when it is located in the same LAN. Please help me out this is very urgent.

First, this is a forum of volunteers. There is no "urgent" here.
"Urgent" means one of two things -
1) people are dying, or
2) you have a customer-facing, revenue-producing production system that is down.
(And to get some perspective on the second case, keep the first in mind.)
For the first, you call whatever civil emergency service seems appropriate.
For the second, you open an SR with Oracle - which requires a paid-up support contract. For *them* to consider your problem "urgent", you will need to demonstrate that your problem falls under item #2. I seriously doubt your problem fits that criteria.
You don't have a support contract? Now you know the exact dollar figure that your company places on the data.
That said, you need to understand a few things about your specific problem,
First, port 1521 is only used by the listener to accept a connection request. Once it gets that request (and finds that it is for a service (sid) that it knows about, it will fork a server process and tell the requesting client that it can communicate with that server process over some other port .. a randomly chosen port number in the "high" range. It could be your vpn is blocking that other port, whereas your internal firewall is not.
But this is just an educated guess since I cannot find "can not connect remote oracle database over VPN" in any error message manual. If you had mentioned the VPN along with an actual oracle error message we could be much more precise in our diagnoses and recommendations.
---- edit 22 Sep
It occurred to me that I just assumed you were using the same client machine in both cases ... a laptop that you use both at work (local network) and home (vpn). If that assumption is false, there are probably problems with your tns setup on the home (vpn) machine.
But again, it would be much easier to help if you gave us an actual error message.

Error when installing 9.0.1.4.0 patch set for the Oracle Database Server.

Hi to all.
Currently, i am trying to install patches for portal server.
The server OS is Sun Solaris 8.
We are using Oracle9iAS.
Now, we are installing 9.0.1.4.0 patch set for the Oracle Database Server.
We managed to install the patch, but have problem with the Post Install Action.
We managed to run
-ALTER SYSTEM ENABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
-@rdbms/admin/catpatch.sql
-ALTER SYSTEM DISABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
-CONNECT / AS SYSDBA
-update obj$ set status=5 where type#=29 and owner#!=0;
-commit;
But, when we come to the next command, which is to shutdown, it gives us like
this..
SQL> update obj$ set status=5 where type#=29 and owner#!=0;
1402 rows updated.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> shutdown immediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01219: database not open: queries allowed on fixed tables/views only
We tried to startup the database..it gives us this error..
SQL> startup
ORA-01081: cannot start already-running ORACLE - shut it down first
So, we tried to shutdown again..
SQL> shutdown immediate
ORA-01089: immediate shutdown in progress - no operations are permitted
I been informed that this is maybe a Database problem related. Any ideas?
Best Wishes,
Rushdan Md Saad.

Patchsets could be obtained (only) from http://metalink.oracle.com
You need to have valid CSI for access.
P.S: Sorry Werner, I didn't see you post.

Help needed in connecting to oracle database in unity

Hi,
I have been trying to connect to Oracle database in my codes. I have tried using OdbcConnection and OleDbconnection. But both did not allowed me to connect to the database. The database, testDb, can be accessed using SQL plus as well as the SQL developer. I even tested the connection successful using ODBC data source administrator.
the following is my code for the connection string:
OdbcConnection connectionString = "Driver={Oracle ODBC Driver};Server=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP )(HOST=127.0.0.1)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=Te stDb)));Uid=scott;Pwd=password;";
the error i got is [ODBC Driver Manager] Data Source name not found and no default driver specified.
for the driver parameter, i have tried using "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle". It gives me another error stating that the oracle and network components are not installed.
I even tried "Oracle in OraDb11g_home1" which was specified in the ODBC Data Source Administrator. The same error came out.
Below are some of my specifications:
Platform: Windows 7 64bit
Oracle: Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (64bit)
Unity: 4.1.2
Can someone please help me with this? What is it that i have done wrong?
Thanks.

whenever localhost (127.0.0.1) is used, this means that no remote client can ever connect to this system
The problem involves ODBC configuration & has nothing to do with Oracle.

ODI topology connection error - oracle database

Hi,
I'm trying to connect to oracle database installed on a remote server through odi client installed on my windows machine. Oracle db is on RHEL 64 bit, I believe. I know the connection details such as hostname, sid etc but i'm not able to establish a connection using the oracle jdbc driver. I can perfectly connect to the db via sqldeveloper using tnsnames and also basic connection which rules out the possibility that i might be giving incorrect SID name in ODI connection since I'm using the same details for both
Error which i received is:

tnsping works fine. To solve the problem, I changed my JDBC connection string to another format which uses connect description with service name and that solved the problem. This is what I used.
jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(LOAD_BALANCE=on) (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=) (PORT=1521)) (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=) (PORT=1521)) (CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=)))

Failed to Establish Connection with SQL Database Server (EAS)

Hi,
We have recently installed version 11.1.2.1 of essbase. Everything is working just peachy. One of my users tried to build a load rule using an Oracle ODBC data connection and gets the error:
Failed to Establish Connection with SQL Database Server. See log for more information.
When I look in the log I see this:

I have tested that the ODBC connection can connect to the database. The sql query has been dumbed down to select '1' from dual. I have not included the word "select" in the query.
Anyone seen this before? We are in the process of uninstalling the Oracle client completely and re-installing it to see if this solves the issue. We only installed the 64 bit version of the Oracle client. I am running on Windows Enterprise 2008 R2 - 64 bit. EAS, Essbase, EIS are all 64 bit installs. I believe Studio is the only one that is 32bit. However we are not currently using this product.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
With Oracle Support's help, we got 3 of the 5 servers working now. We were using the Datadirect drivers but were configuring them wrong! You have to use the Standard Connection portion in the setup, specifying the Host, Port Number (1521) and the SID. We were using the TNSNames Connection which worked in the past, but apparently does not now.
So I am down to 2 servers not working. They are both Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise 64 bit, running Oracle EPM Essbase 11.1.2.1. When I Open SQL in EAS it prompts for database (Essbase Server, App, DB) and when I hit ok it pops up with "Network error: Cannot Locate Connect Information For []". We did not do any of the suggestions in the document you linked to get the other 3 servers working. When you hit ok on that error, you then get another error stating, "There are no Data Sources defined. 'SQL data sources' option will be disabled". We do have datasources defined on the server.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

Connection to Oracle BI server using BRIO

Hi,
I read in the administrator manual that it's possible to connect to Oracle BI Server with third-party tools over ODBC. The instructions say to configure a DSN on the remote machine using the Oracle BI Server driver. Does this mean that I need to install this driver or perhaps a client this driver is packaged with in order to complete this connection?
Is there some other way to connect to Oracle BI server using Brio?
Any help appreciated.
Thank you!
Some background:
We have Oracle BIEE 101320 installed with connections established to our warehouse. We have Oracle Answers (Siebel Analytics) configured and have dashboards running off the BI server.
There are a lot of folks here who use Brio. We'd like to get them to connect to the Oracle BI server rather than to the data warehouse.

Hi
We are a Hyperion partner and have just started looking at Oracle BI Enterprise Edition. When I installed it it automatically creates an ODBC DSN on the server called AnalyticsWeb. I am working directly on the server and I can then connect using Hyperion Interactive Reporting Studio using an oce which points to the DSN. So Brio Explorer/Designer would be the same. Working on a separate client machine I guess you would need a DSN on that machine. Not sure you would do this but if you do a custom install on the client of the client tools, you should see Oracle BI Server as a data source.
BUT...
I imported the Hyperion Sample database into the Oracle metadata repository using the Admin tool, and then connect to it using Hyperion IR studio. While I can see the tables in the catalog, when I drag them into the Datamodel, they just disappear. I would be interested to see what you get.

Issues when trying to connect to Oracle database

Hi
We have set up a linked server in SQL Server to connect to an Oracle database. We are using SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise (64 bit) on Windows Server 2008 and Oracle client 11g 11.02.00.01 connecting to Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production using UTF8.
Most tables are selectable without error, however, we got this error message for some:
Msg 7347, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'OraOLEDB.Oracle' for linked server 'OurLinkedServer' returned data that does not match expected data length for column '[OraOLEDB.Oracle].Ourfieldname'. The (maximum) expected data length is 6, while the returned data length is 2.
This error message refers to a column of type char(3)
Will the characterset cause this error (I’ve read that SQL Server doesn’t support UTF8)?
If not, is there some other resolution that anyone can think of?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!
Tom

Thank You for replying, Justin!
Yes, I can connect successfully to the database through other tools - at the moment I tried SQL*Plus, Net8 Easy Config and Schema Manager.
The Oracle client in the NT machine is 8.0.5.0.0. And unfortunately I do not know anything about the Oracle installation on this machine and at the moment I don't have that person near me too whom to ask also. But I think the installation was ok, because the connection through ODBC was working before the DB upgrade as far as I understood (sorry, again at the moment I don't know what was the previous version of DB. I will ask that information as soon as possible).
The main problem that bothers me at the moment is that I can't install 8.1.* series OraODBC driver with 8.0.5.0.0 Oracle Installer. I managed to install 8.0.6.6.0 version of the driver, but not the newer ones. As far as I've understood I have to upgrade the whole Oracle in the NT machine to upgrade that installer. Am I correct?

How to connect to oracle database from visual basic 2010 express edition

I have installed visual basic 2010 express edition on windows xp. But visual basic 2010 express edition supports Microsoft sql server database file,Microsoft sql server compact 3.5, Microsoft access database file. I want to connect to oracle database from visual basic 2010 express edition. So what drivers are required and how to do connectivity?

Hello,
I wasn't clear on what you were using to make the connection. I had a look in Visual Studio 2010 (don't have express to test sorry).
I think you mean the Data Sources available under the menu Data-> Datasources. this seems to match the description you give when I
look at the list of datasource options.
In here you can make ODBC connections via the Microsoft .net Data Provider .
If you select ODBC as a datasource you can see listed the DSN's you created - for example I see 2 which use the Oracle ODBC driver.
This assumes you installed an Oracle Client + the oracle version of the ODBC driver (comes with the oracle client).
Once you created a server connection then you should see it in the server explorer.
You can also download the Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio which is an add on for VS.
** I suspect this is only for VS 2010 and I didn't see that Express was supported.

Let me know if that helps.

How to get service name and listening host to connect to oracle DB server?

I have successfully installed oracle db client 10g release 2 on my winXP. But when I tried to use Net Congiguration Assistance to connect to oracle db server. I do not know what is the "service name" and listening "host" I supporse to enter. Where can I get the names?
PLEASE HELP! THANKS!

machine name or IP = machine name or IP address of the database server
To know the service name do the following on the server :
$ lsnrctl services

$The service name is test10 in my case. Of course you have to use yours.

Connect to Oracle database from SQL Sever

Can you help on an issue of connection from SQL Server to Oracle database:
In SQL Server, I create a "linked server" to connect to Oracle database on a different machine. But it will take a unreasonable time (about 30 seconds) to call a Oracle query from SQL Server.

No there are no entries required in the TNSNAMES.ORA
When you are using ODBC for connection, Oracle does not look fo rany enteries in TNSNAMES.ORA file.
Now I am able to connect to both SQL Plus and Forms 6i. But while connecting to SQL Plus its giving an error
Error accessing PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE
Warning: Product user profile information not loaded!
You may need to run PUPBLD.SQL as SYSTEM
Server not available or version too low for this feature
Connected to:
Oracle Open Client Adapter for ODBC 6.0.5.35.0
Microsoft SQL Server 08.00.0534
Also while disconnecting the Windows Program Error comes, and the application closes abruptly.
