Forms6I and Oracle Client

What Oracle Client (8.0.5 or 8.1.6) should be used for Forms6I. Would an 8.0.5 client have performance issues with Forms6I

Hi,
I would be interested in this topic as well.
I'm fooking for functionality which makes possible to store at admin level db access information and EUL, etc., regarding Discoverer, and for each user its own, attached this to SSO users. Thats the way Resource Access Descriptors work in 9i Forms and Reports.
Resource Access Descriptors make possible to provide for our users only the SSO username and SSO pwd. Everything else related to db connection information is handled in the background by the application server's servlets.
Are the Oracle's technologies related to SSO convergent?
I hope so...
Any help or workaround would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Andras

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

How to validate prerequisite for ODP and Oracle Client connection

Hi.
I have a very simple application on .Net that connect to Oracle using ODP (was compiled with Oracle.DataAccess dll 10.2).
I want to check "connection prerequisite" (application will be able to connect to DB) before installing this aplication on other computers?
How can I check that ODP.NET version 10.2 or higher is installed on target host (registry check is not enopugh)?
I know that I can check ODP entries in registry - but this will not check Oracle Client and compatibility between client and ODP.
Also, if ODP was installed by ODAC XCopy installation - registry may be not updated by new ODP entry.
And - if I am installing on the computer, DB was installed on, Oracle Client can be not installed separately.
And one more issue: When I tried to run "test connection" method from installation, that use referenced dll on machine, that has only ODAC (with ODP) 11, - "Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleInit.Initialize()
at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection..cctor()" error message was thrown (policies for both ODAC 10.2 and 11 are exists in GAC (assembly), pointing to Oracle.DataAccess 11 from ODP 2x bin).
So, How and which components can I check to ensure appropriate versions of ODP and Oracle Client were installed and application will be connected?
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
You could check for the presense of Oracle.DataAccess.dll in the GAC. Bear in mind you'd also want to check the version and whether a policy files exists as well as a newer version + policy file will work too (but not without the policy file).
That wouldn't confirm the install is valid and works though, and I don't know of a way you could easily check that, apart from perhaps simply trying to run a small exe that attempts a connection to the database.
With respect to the type initializer exception, that occurs when ODP cant find the right oraops*.dll or oci.dll, usually due to the wrong one being found, but can also occur if one is not found at all. Quite often this is due to the application including ODP in its bin directory rather than letting ODP get picked up out of the gac. Prior to 10.2.0.2.20, ODP loads the dependencies based in PATH so multiple homes can cause it as well. 10.2.0.2.20 and higher ODP loads dll's based on DLLPATH registry entry.
Hope it helps,
Greg

What do I need to install when I install oralce in linux and oracle client

What do I need to install when I install oralce in linux and oracle client in windows?
I want to connect oracle from windows to Linux, what do I need to install or setup? thanks.

Are you trying to install the DB on Linux from your Windows Box? if so, you need to have an XWindows client on your client. You have to SSH or Telnet into the box, set your DISPLAY variable. In fact, it is all in your documentation for the DB install. We still don't understand what you are exactly asking.
Do you have direct access to your Linux machine? If so, and it has a graphical GUI, then you can find install guides for most flavors of Linux at dizwell.com. His are most excellent and show examples, but do not go over the XWindows problem. You would have to resolve that first.
A free XWindows environment for Windows is Cygwin.
Once the DB is running on Linux then all you do is create a TNS entry on it on your client and it connects. It is the same as setting up a connection to connect to Oracle on a Windows box.

Using Notes and Oracle Client in the same application on Linux crashes

This thread is copied from a thread of the same name under Database - General, since I cannot get any replies there.
Could someone from Oracle PLEASE comment on this.
Our application on Linux loads the Notes client libraries and then the Oracle client libraries. The application will crashes when connectimg to an Oracle server. This is because the T_* symbols in libnnz11.so get fixed up into libnotes.so rather than locally into libnnz11.so where the functions are defined.

We have circumvented the problem for the time being by making sure that we load the Oracle libraries before Notes, but we cannot go with that as a long term solution.
In my opinion the Oracle library is wrongly linked since all the T_* functions are defined in libnnz11.so. When we load Oracle first, the loader debug trace shows the correct fixups. When we load Notes first, the loader trace shows the incorrect fixups. We are using dlopen(libor9i.so, RTLD_LOCAL) for Oracle and dlopen(libnotes.so, RTLD_LOCAL) for Notes. libor9i.so has a dependency on libclntsh.so.10.1.
An opinion would really be appreciated.
Thanks,
John Unsworth

Thanks again.
We don't have an Oracle support contract because we do not use Oracle ourselves. We supply an application that synchronises data between multiple data servers and server types, of which Oracle is one and Notes is another, as well as LDAP servers and many other types.
Producing a full resolved binary is therefore not an option since the types of data server are configured when the apploication is installed, and then the client software for each server is loaded as required.
The end user of the application supplies the client libraries and has a support contract for the servers, in particular Oracle and Notes in this case. So the other option is for the end user to raise a ticket using his support contract, but he is reluctant to do that since he considers that this is our problem as we supply the application that is having the problem. So we are in a dead water area. We do not want to take out a support contract just to get what is an Oracle product problem resolved. I imagine that this problem is something that has not been encountered before, because our use of the client library in conjunction with other client libraries is probably unusual.
So that is why I am hoping, without any success so far, that someone from Oracle will pick this up.

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.

Oracle 9i and Oracle Client 7x

We upgraded our database software from 7.3.4 to 9i. The application we are using is the Viking Development System and is still a 16-bit application.
I was able to get certain parts of the program to work on a variety of workstations (95, 98 and 2000), but on each workstation there are pieces that do not work.
Here is some of the errors...
When I try to post the donation transactions, I get the following error messages. A general Protection fault occurred in module sql16w95.dll at 0001:139F
I have renamed the file to sql16w95.dll to sql16w95.old as suggected in bug 2171024.
Now the following message appears...
Unable to load VIP DIctionary Status=3113
There is also a problem with the lookup screen. The actual database information is OK. But it shows some pledge balances are incorrect. They show the balance as being 14.717 instead of 177.17 for example.
I need a solution to these problems.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mark
We are running a 16bit application (Viking Development System) using an Oracle 7 client on a 9i database.

If you want to make sure the application connecting through oracle client
set the pah variable
Enter
C:>path
Oracle bin directories will be displayed along with other variables.see which oracle version comes first.
If it is 10g then the Oracle will use 10g client to establish conneciton but if 9i installation is displayed first then it is going to use 9i client
To change 10g as default client
you can set it 2 ways
Right click my computer>properties?advance tab--click environement variables
select PATh variable..
OR
launch Oralce universl installer
click installed products
click environment tab
Select the 10g home and click the UPWARD arrow at the right hand side to make Oracle 10g as default client
You can see oracle bin directories.Just cut the Oracle 10g installation with bin and paste in front of all the variable in the PATH value

Oracle Database 10g and Oracle Client 9i together

Hi, I've been lost some nights in this problem, in my job I will need migrate my Oracle Database 10g for a new computer, on the other hand, there is a software in this computer wrote in Visual Basic and this running only Oracle 9i Client.
Is it possible configure my new server for run Oracle Database 10g and Oracle 9i Client together?
Thanks!
Emerson

You can certainly use an Oracle 9i client to connect to an Oracle 10g database. Technically, you may have to apply the 9.2.0.4 patchset to the Oracle client to be completely supported, but that may not be strictly necessary.
You can also have both a 10g database and a 9i client installed on the same machine in different Oracle Homes. You may have some issues on Windows, however, if you are using software that is not multi-home compliant (i.e. the Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle) or if you call Oracle command-line utilities (exp, imp, etc) without explicitly setting the PATH first.

Perl and Oracle Client Install

Hi,
When installing the Oracle Client on user machines, does it not install Perl as well? Something like $ORACLE_HOME/perl/.....
I am installing the client and I am not seeing this. Or this only for the non-client versions?
By the way I am installing Oracle 10gR1 (10.2.0.1)

Ya I did the client install as well and noticed that I had it as well, but for the client install on 10gR1 it is not. This is weird. Basically I am trying to apply a patch using OPatch and it keeps saying that Perl is needed. When I downloaded the Perl manually, it still said that it could not reconize Perl. Any thoughts?

Windows 2003 64 bit and Oracle Client install issues

A bit of background. We are a Microsoft shop using SQL Server 2005 / Windows 2003 64 bit servers. We need to have ODBC drivers and Oracle OLE provider to connect and transfer data vis SSIS.
We have installed a package (ODAC10203x64.zip) for OADC 10.0.2.3 which we downloaded from the Oracle website.
We see the software in the program file group. We cannot find the Oracle ODBC drivers, also can't find the Oracle OLE Provider. However the Oracle installation package shows the Oracle OLE Provider has been installed even though we cannot find it anywhere.
Any suggestions?

WINDOWS TERMINAL SERVICES AND ORACLE CLIENT 9,10.1,10.2 BUG

PROBLEM:NON-ADMINISTRATOR USER UNABLE TO USE CLIENT SQLPLUS INSTALL
FIX: NONE... REFER TO Bug No.     4684738
Filed     18-OCT-2005     Updated     06-DEC-2005
Product     SQL*Plus     Product Version      10.2.0.1
Platform     Microsoft Windows Server 2003     Platform Version
HOW I FIXED:
copied instant client basic, instant SqlPlus, instant ODBC (i need ODBC connection)
step1:
login to terminal server as administrator, unzip basic, SqlPlus, ODBC into a new directory on the server, make sure users have basic file rights read,view to new directory.
step2:
copy a working copy of tnsnames.ora (the databases you want to connect to) into the directory where all your instant client files are.
step3:
create SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT variables > click my computer, properties,advanced. create variable SQLPATH set value to path of your instant clent files. create variable TNS_ADMIN set value to path of your instant client files.
step4:
edit the PATH statement listed in SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT variables and add the path to your instant client files at the beginning of the PATH statement.
step5:
logout, login as administrator test instant sqlplus open command prompt enter > sqlplus username?/password?@mydatabase
you should get connected to your database. Repeat step5 only login as a normal user. the normal user should be able to connect to the database.
Issue: it appears instant ODBC not ready for prime time I get error 126, reading forums it appears there are files missing from the install package. The Microsoft ODBC connector for Oracle does work with my MSACCESS applications that connect to Oracle 10G using the afore mentioned process. I will continue to troubleshoot instant ODBC issue and post findings. Oracle has already wasted 12 hours of my time trying to get their junky software working might as well waste another day before throwing in the towel.

You can download the latest JDBC drivers from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html
You just need to place the jar somewhere and add the location to your classpath.

Forms6i and Oracle Database8i Enterprise

Hello all. I am having a very tough time getting my oracle forms 6i and database 8i to talk to each other. If someone could help me out, that would be great. I know you need to install 6i first then 8i enterprise. I know you also have to put in some lines of code into your tnsnames.ora file in order for it all to work. If someone could post what I need to put in (the more detail the better), it would be very highly appreciated.
Thank you,
Guy

Firstly configure the listener in the server and start the services.. u could find the services icon in the control panel of Windows NT, try connecting from the node , even after this, u cannot able to connect, uninstall the complete forms 6i from the client and reinstall in a new directory, and configure the net 8 easy config and specify the proper IP,HOST Name and Exact SID .. u shd. be able to connect, if u r connecting the first time, try using System/Manager Login , much b'fore try connecting to the database using Sql*Net in the server itself, if it works fine .. then u shd. be able to connect from the client using the above suggestions..

Forms6i and oracle 8i

dear all
I installed oracle server 8i and it works fine .after that I
installed oracle forms 6i but I can not connect to the server
from the forms and I found
the following errors
the following error I found when I entered only username and
password in forms query or forms SQL PLUS environment
TNS : unable to connect to destination
and sometimes when I enter the db string I found the
following error:
invalide driver designator
please explain every step in the solution because I am not
experienced developer
best regsrds

Hi,I am a new comer too, and I had the same problem like you.
I solved this problem by this:
You should try copying TNSNAMES.ORA from your oracle_home
directory/Network/Admin (my path is D:\ORA81\NETWORK\ADMIN) to
the Forms' home directory /Net80/Admin (my path is D:\ORANT\NET80
\ADMIN).
It's Marco's solution, but a guy called OT said it didn't work,
I don't know why, he just said his own solution is:
install Forms 6 first, then install the Ora 8i.
Hope this could help you.
