Database Client

Hi,
I am installing Hyperion Essbase 11.1.2.2. with no other parts of the Hyperion product set and my database is on a different server, do I need to install Oracle Database client on my Essbase Server as a pre-req - or is there sufficient client functionality with the standard Essbase install such that I can access my remote DB for HSS purposes without?
thanks,
Robert.

You shouldnt need the Oracle client, configuration and communication to the Shared Services database will be through JDBC which does not need any client installation.
Cheers

How to install Oracle Database Client 32-bit libraries.

Dear All,
In the document : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/b31765.pdf
it is written "For 64-bit Linux system installations, you must use the Oracle Database Client 32-bit libraries"
how can i install just the libraries from OUI Database 11.2
Is it must to install these libraries first, whatif I install Oracle11.2 64bit client, and then install the OBIEE. Anyhow i need to install OracleDBClient to connect to Oracle server 11.2.

You can't "just install the libraries", you need a full ORacle client installation. The Oracle client can be installed after OBIEE but you must have an Oracle client to connect to an Oracle database via OCI (which is the recomended approach). 64bit client should be fine as long as it has the 32bits libraries. The 10g client does, not sure about the 11g client. Make sure you install the FULL Oracle client, not the Instant Client. The 32bits client libraries are located under lib32, the lib directory is for the 64bits ones. You might need ot re-link them if they were linked correctly during the client installation. But for more information post a message in the Oracle client forum, this is the OBIEE forum.

Installing an Oracle Database client on Application Server

Hi all
I have posted before but thought I'd clean up my original question and repost - apologies but I'm desperate for help here.
I have a problem using Oracle Wallet with Application Server and Developer Suite 10g Rel 2 Software Update 10.1.2.3.0 on Windows 2003. The problem arises because the database which ships with this version of Application Server is 10.1.0.5. This database version is not compatible with Oracle Wallet external passwords eg sqlplus /@MY_WALLET_NAME.
So...to get around this I'm looking at putting the 10.2 database client on which will allow me to use sqlplus with the wallet.
My questions is:
Does anyone have any advice for retaining existing Application Server functionality (we use Discoverer, Forms and Reports (RWCLIENT)) with a new Oracle 10.2 home on the server?
I will put on the client so would expect if I copy across the tnsnames & sqlnet ora, the connectivity is all backward compatible. SQL*Plus is obviously backward compatible. I'm not familiar with Application Server so am looking for guidance on any configurations I might need to change to make sure they pick up the right Oracle Home. For example, with the new Oracle Home at the start of the %PATH%, will RWCLIENT work as normal?
Thanks,
Tom

Query Regarding Oracle Database Client

Hello,
I'm new to ORACLE and Intented to become Oracle Developer and DBA. I've question regarding Oracle Database Client software.
I know that there is Oracle Database server software but what is this Oracle Database Client. Is there any need to Install it on client machine as client mostly access the database use application software mainly develope in Java or C# etc. So, what is it need.
and one more question regarding SQL *Plus. Is it client process or server process as I learnent that it is client process and if it is. Is it can be part of Oracle Database Client. and can we seperately install the Oracle Database Client on machine on which DB server is aslo Installed.
Looking for reply.
Regards,
Danish Kamran

Certainly you are not mentioning the Oracle version, it is very important. Whenever you post a question reference the oracle version. There is a disk known as the oracle Client (10gR1, 10gR2 and 11gR1), this disk contains all required software to setup a client environment. If you are working with clients such as Java or C# you must have either the jdcb client driver (Jjava) or the ODBC software to access the database, this is included in the Oracle client disk.
Instant Client
There are other options for the client, you can install the instant client, this option allows you to install only the drivers without the Oracle utilities, this is particular useful if you are deploying third party applications and you don't want to install the complete client disk.
SQLPlus
SQL*Plus is a client application that runs on the client side, when you open a session it requests an Oracle server process to be executed on the server side. Once the session has been successfully setup then you can issue SQL commands from the client side. You should be aware that even if you launch SQL*Plus from the server side you will be working with two processes, one for the client and the second one for the oracle server. This connection mode is also known as dedicated server, but you should be aware that there is another connection mode known as shared server, I won't explain it since it already goes off topic.

Oracle Database Client -- Oracle Database in SSL mode.

Experts,
I am trying to connect to a remote oracle database which in SSL mode. I installed "Oracle database client" on other server and trying to connect to remote database in SSL mode.
Can you please provide brief steps ?
Do I need configure any wallets on client side too ?. If yes, copying wallets from database server to client is enough ?
Please help me.
Thanks

Windows 7 - Oracle 10.2.0.5 Database Client Installation (32bit)

Where can I get this?
I tried installing the 10.2.0.3 client, and the 10.2.0.5 patchset - but that got me nowhere. It seems like the patchset is for the DB server, not the client (unless there is something I am missing due to obtuseness.).
Is there a standalone installer for the 10.2.0.5 db client?
The following announcement indicates it will be made available: https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&doctype=ANNOUNCEMENT&id=1061272.1
It also says to check https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&id=742060.1 for specific release dates. This document, however, does not specifically mention the client. The 10.2.0.5 release for Windows 7 was July 19/2010.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sadly, that doesn't help at all.
1173433.1 has instructions for installation of the database server, not the client. I want to install only the client.
Here are the explicit steps I am trying:
1) Installing the Oracle 10.2.03 Database client (Administrator install, 10203_vista_w2k8_x86_production_client.zip)
2) Attempting to install the 10.2.05 patch set (p8202632_10205_WINNT.zip) by either:
On the "Specify Home Details" page, if I select the client directory instead of the default DB directory (C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1 instead of C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1) it gives the following error:
OUI-10136:An Oracle Home with name OraClient10g_home1 already exists at location C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1. Please specify another location for Oracle Home.
or
Onthe "Product-Specific Prerequisite Checks" page, it will give the following error:
Checking for Oracle Home incompatibilities ...
Actual Result: NEW_HOME
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
Problem: This software can only be installed into an existing Oracle Database 10g Oracle Home.

Database Client licening for Oracle XE

Hello,
When I mention Database Client, not instant client. Everything I have read says that the Database client, is tied to the Database License. But nothing spells out how that is with Oracle XE. Oracle XE seams to be licensed by CPU, because you are only allowed one. There is a specific feature in the Database Client that I would like to use.
I have been trying to get an answer to this from Oracle Licensing and they have not been getting back to me. I think its because I am a small startup with little to no money.
Is there a separate license needed to distribute the Oracle Database Client with Oracle XE? Is there an example anyone can share?
Thanks

XE doesn't have hard limit on how many users. Actually your question is not clear, are you asking for limit of how many users you can create or how many users can connect concurrently.
If first, there's no limit. If second it's only limited by the resources especially memory like other user demonstrated.
also you need to check parameter processes and sessions, these parameter will limit how many process/session can connect to database.

Database Client - Server Interoperability betwen different platforms

Hi everyone,
we run a 11.1.0.7 on HP-UX Itanium servers. We use COBOL, and connecting to database is via Database Client libraries (COBOL precompiler, client libraries linked to application). Application, Client and Server are on the same server.
Now we are planning to move database to different server and even to different platform. So finally we would have a HP-UX server with a Database Client software (the same version as database server) with a COBOL procompilers libraries and the database server on different server on IBM AIX server.
Do you thing this is a problem? As I expect there wouldn't be a problem because client and database comunnicates on platform-free (endian-free) protocol OCI or whichever protocol it is.
Thanks for any reactions,
Michal

Oracle database client 64bit issue with peopletools 8.52 Installation

Hi,
I have installed peopletools 8.52.I saw somewhere like oracle client 32 bit only will support and it will only work.Can someone help me why is it so or we can have 64 bit iitself.If its possible,What settings we need to do to have 64 bit database client.
Thanks in advance.

On Windows server, Apps and batch servers need a 32-bit Oracle client. Period. Nothing more to add. Or wait for PTools 8.53 which will be a real 64-bit application even for the client such as appDesigner and DMS.

Database client is must for GG??

Hi All,
Is Database client necessary for installing Oracle Goldengate?
Im going to configure GG in the same server where database is running.
Thanks,
Harry

All of the GoldenGate builds require database client software to be at least installed -- even if GoldenGate isn't connecting to a database -- except the version of GoldenGate that comes with the OGG Java or flat-file adapter. The adapters come bundled with a version of GoldenGate core called a "generic" (no-database) GoldenGate, which has no runtime dependencies on any database client. All the other database-enabled versions of GoldenGate (GG for DB2, GG for MySQL, GG for Oracle, etc) won't even be able to start "ggsci" or "extract", simply because the DB client runtime library dependencies are missing. This implies that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or, on Windows, PATH) needs to be correctly configured in order to run any version of GG that has database functionality -- even when you aren't using the database functionality.
If you have GG installed and it is just acting as a pass-thru pump (no transformations, mapping, user-exits, etc) -- then there's no reason for GG to access any database, since there's no need for metadata. A "generic" build of GG would be able to do this, but then so could any build of GG (as long as you have the DB client software installed... btw, Oracle instant client is useful for this.) And, btw, it's worth mentioning that the flat-file & Java adapter (for Java targets) can be plugged into any build of GoldenGate; they don't have to run in the "generic" no-database version of GG. (The JMS capture is the only component that requires the no-DB generic GG.)
If you have some mapping or transformations going on, then it's possible to use a "source-definitions" file instead of connecting back to the source datatabase for metadata. <ul>
<li> The downside of connecting back to the source-database for metadata is that the trail data may be from several minutes ago (or several hours ago -- or for test data, even weeks or months ago) -- so the metadata is out-of-sync with the trail data. Trail data is meaningless without correct & current metadata.
<li> The downside of source-def files is that they have to be updated whenever you update your DDL. (Source-defs files describe the trail data -- just like DDL does, but source-def's are GG's database-neutral metadata file format. These are generated via "defgen" on the source database.)
<li> if capturing DDL (only possible in like-to-like scenarios for Oracle-to-Oracle), then you won't be using source-def files. </ul>
(That was probably more detail than necessary ... : - ))
Hope it helps,

Can't modify TNS timeout on database client outgoing request -

Dear all,
I have two Oracle Database connected by dblink over TCPIP. One is a client for the other.
When my client application (in db client) try to retrieve data from the db server and this one is shutdowned, It receives this message ORA-12535 "TNS:operatin time out" (no bad !) but after at minus 2 minutes and sometimes too long time. This is not good for my client application. I need about 30 sec for this application. When I launched oerr tools -with this sqlcode 12535 - to get some explanation, Oracle talks about CONNECT_TIMEOUT parameter in listener.ora file, I did not think this was relation with my issue (because I want to connect and not to listen) but I tested and it did not work.
Is someone know how to manage this time out ?
Tkanks by advance
Regards.

I Frederic,
Thank for your reply.
Yes I restarted the listener after the update - I also tested dynamic mode with set command ....- but it didn't work.
I think like I previously said CONNECT_TIMEOUT is not the good parameter because this is for the listener and for my client db I don't need it.
The server machine is sometimes under stress because many access and many applications and sometimes we have to do some maintenance works. I need to get an acceptable response time in timeout to switch all requests to another server.
Regards.

No users available ; no database client tool

Hi,
during a system copy we are stuck due to the fact that we can not logon to the 4.6C system. SAP is up-and-running without errors.
The database runs on the IBM Mainframe with zOS with DB V8. The SAP application server runs on AIX. Since it is a older version it runs with the ICLI-client as interface for connection between SAP and DB2; not DB2Connect.
The problems are multiple
we can not apply a new saplicense to the system (not even a temp license), because we get saplicense connection errors.
SAPLICENSE (Release 46D) ERROR ***
    ERROR:   Creation of license table failed
    DETAILS: DbSlExecute failed with return code 107
DSNT408I SQLCODE = -204, ERROR: SAPLOD IS AN UNDEFINED NAME

DSNT415I SQLERRP    = DSNXISUB SQL PROCEDURE DETECTING ERROR
DSNT416I SQLERRD    = 40 0 0 -1 0 0 SQL DIAGNOSTIC INF ...
We have no high privileged users on the system (they now can not login, because of license problems). Furthermore no password of SAPStar.
A way to go would be to delete the sapstar-user in the database. The problem is that we can not find the tool to connect to the database. This installation works with the ICLI-client, so if we use DB2Connect (db2) we also get the message that ICLI-server is use. So connecting here is not possible.
db2 => connect to T67 user t67adm
Enter current password for t67adm:
SQL30081N A communication error has been detected. Communication protocol

where the error was detected: "10.96.18.123". Communication function
detecting the error: "recv". Protocol specific error code(s): "73", "*", "0".
SQLSTATE=08001
How can we logon to the system? Is there ICLI-client tool (besides DB2Connect) to execute the SQL-statement to delete the sapstar-user?
Or is there any other way?
Please help requested. Thanks in advance.
best regards,
Paul Geraedts

How did you copy the system?
Will the SAP instance start? "sapstart"
You can get into DB from the SYSTEM Z side using spufi and DB2 commands.
Find a DBA they should be able to get information .
The first thing I see strange is
[code]
DSNT408I SQLCODE = -204, ERROR: SAPLOD IS AN UNDEFINED NAME
[/code]
If really did copy the table should be there.
from UNIX appserver sidadm run saplicense -get does this command work?
