How to determine the location of Oracle Client

Hi folks,
how can I determine the location on a given machine where the Oracle Client was installed ?
My java-application, which has used the 9i-Client until now, has to run with a 10g-client in future. The problem is: for a transition period, it has to use both clients optionally. So when the application starts running it doesn't know which client is installed on the machine.
There are never installed both clients, so before starting the jvm I have to decide which one has to be used, since I have to set the right classpath for accessing the jdbc14.jar.
Are there any settings (e.g. ORACLE_HOME or something like that) which are used in the same way in both clients (and on different platforms) ?
Thanks
Jens

Hi Amit,
If you are not able to check the note 118823 or you can't able to find the solution. Just start client copy in test mode, there you can get the size of the client then you can cancel the client copy(which is in test mode).
Hope it will resolve your doubt.
Thanks
Kishore

The bundle patches are found by build number. If you go to metalink and check the bundle patches, there is a build number associated with them, usually also contained in the xellerate/config/Version.props file. This is written to the XSD table during patching. Once installed, there is no identifier that says "BPXXX applied".

How to modify the database by Oracle-ridc-client

How to modify the database by Oracle-ridc-client

First of all, from your question it is not very clear what kind of modifications you intend to do - one correct answer to your question could be "call any non-read-only service", which will result as insert/update/delete to a table somewhere. My guess is that this is not the answer you are looking for.
While working with RIDC (or CIS to answer your other thread at once) you have to understand that you integrate primarily with the application layer of your solution. If you want to modify the database scheme, you might, for instance, add a new metadata field - this is OK, because there is a service that you may call to achieve that. On the other hand you might want to change the db scheme directly (e.g. add a new column to a standard table); here neither RIDC, not CIS will help you unless you create a custom (server-side) service that you will call. Note, however, that you should be doing this only if you are really sure what you are doing.

How to determine the mount point for directory /tmp ?

Folks,
Hello. I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2 whose OS are Oracle Linux 5.6) in VMPlayer and according to the tutorial
http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/10/11gr2-rac-on-linux-56-using-vmware.html
I am installing Grid infrastructure. I am on step 7 of 10 (verify Grid installation enviroment) and get this error:
"Free Space: Rac2: /tmp"
Cause: Could not determine mount point for location specified.
Action: Ensure location specified is available.
Expected value: n/a
Actual value: n/a
I have checked the free space using the command:
[root@Rac2 /]# df -k /tmp
Output:
Filesystem 1k-blocks used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 30470144 7826952 21070432 28% /
As you see above, the free space is enough, but could not determine mount point for /tmp.
Do any folk understand how to determine the mount point for directory /tmp ?
Thanks.

I have just checked "/home/oracle/.bash_profile". But in my computer, there is no "oracle" under /home directory.Is this your first time Linux and Oracle installation? I had a brief look at your referenced link. The reason why you do not find a "oracle" user is because the instructions use "ora11g" instead, which, btw, is not standard. The directories of your installation and your installation source can be somewhat different from known standards and you will have to adjust it to your system.
My best guess is that you have either missed something in the instructions or you need to ask the author of the blog what is wrong. The chance to find someone here who has experience with these custom instructions is probably unlikely.
I suggest you try to locate the cluster verification tool, which should be in the bin directory of your grid installation. Alternatively you might want to check the RAC, ASM & Clusterware Installation forum: RAC, ASM & Clusterware Installation

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

How to determine the ROWNUM in a Master Detail Form

Hello,
I am working in a Master Detail Form with Orders and Order Items Information; and I created a process that allows the users to select a Product ID on a tabular form, and the next column is populated automatically with the Product Description.
To achieve that, I followed some instructions by Denes Kubicek (http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:241), but my case is slightly different:
<ul>I am using a wizard-created tabular form, instead of a manual tabular form; and </ul>
<ul>Instead of using another page as a Popup to pass the parameter of the ROWNUM, I am using a plug-in called “Tabular Form Super LOV” which is a modified version of the SkillBuilders’ Super LOV that works on Tabular Forms. </ul>
The Product ID is returned in the correct row by the plug-in; but in the case of the Product Description, it is always returned into the first row; and my problem is that I don't know how to determine the row where the user clicked to call the plug-in.
I set up an example in apex.oracle.com in case someone would like to look at it:
Workspace: ediazjorge
Username: test
Password: test
App Name: Sample App
App Number: 1550
BTW, I am using Apex 4.1.1.00.23 and Oracle DB 10.3.2.
Thanks in advance,
Erick

Hello VC,
Thank you for your time and help.
Unfortunately, it is still not working properly:
1. When the Popup LOV opens, the first row of the tabular form is 0, the second row is 1, and so on. How can I assign the values starting with 1 and in the format *0001* ? (I am still a novice on Apex and new to JavaScript :-), sorry about that).
--2. Also, when I close the Popup LOV, the value of P1_ROWNUM is ‘undefined’ again so I'm not sure if the Product Name column will be populated.--
3. And finally, you are using the jQuery Selector uPopupLOVIcon, which is an attribute of the Cloudy Theme. In my real application (Apex 4.1.1.00.26), my element looks like: *<img src="/i/lov_16x16.gif" width="16" height="16" alt="Popup Lov" alt="List" style="vertical-align:middle;" align="middle" />*. What do you recommend me to use as a jQuery Selector?
Again, I really appreciate your help and time. I think you solved the most difficult part.
Thank you so much,
Erick
Update: I just found out that the problem with my comment 2 is because I didn’t delete the previous dynamic action that set the value to P1_ROWNUM.

How to determine the field size

I am going to make a multiplatform application that hopefully
will run on linux and windows 2000.If the os is 2000, then I will use
vb.net/aspx else I'll use java servlets. I make the connection
to the web server ( through HTTP) not directly to database server.
So, the resultset will be stored in the String object. The columns
will be separated by delimeter. Our problem is how to determine
the size and type of the fields of mssql,oracle and postgres database
so that we can include it in the String object.
Ex.
String sResultSet=new String();
ResultSet rs=statement.executeQuery(sSQL);
while(rs.next()){
sResultset=sResultSet + rs.getString(field1) + "||" + rs.getString(field2) + "||";
vertical bars acts as delimeter
supposedly this is the code:
sResultset=sResultSet + rs.getString(field1) +"_" + rs.getFieldType() + "_"+
rs.getFieldSize() + "||" + rs.getString(field2) +"_" + rs.getFieldType() + "_"+
rs.getFieldSize() + "||";
supposedly this is the code if rs.getFieldType() and rs.getFieldSize() methods are existing
Anyone can give me an idea how to get the field type and field size of the database?
thanks in advance

Yes, but I dont know how to do it.
Can you give me an example of using it.
Thanks in advance

How to determine the Cluster name ?

Grid version : 11.2.0.3 on Solaris 10
When we start installing Grid Infrastructure, we specify a Cluster Name.
Question1.
How can I determine the cluster name of a 11.2 RAC Cluster ? We maintain a DB inventory. For each cluster , we want to specify the Cluster name.Hence we require the cluster name .
Question2.
The cluster name is of no functional importance. Right ? I don't remember using Cluster Name in any commands (srvctl, crsctl,...)

To determine the cluster name,[oracle@iron1 ~]$ olsnodes -c
ironcluster
[oracle@iron1 ~]$I wouldn't say it has much technical significance, though it is used as a default in a few other names.

How to determine the Support Team from Reported-by?

Hi All,
We need to determine the support team based on reported-by.
I have concluded it is only possible by customization of developing ZBADI from these threads:
Re: How to determine the Support Team from the Reported by?
Automatic determination support team based on own specs?
Re: Route tickets based on Message creaters's location
So we have created ztable which has relation between SAP component, Reported-by and Support Team.
Now i need to develope a ZBADI and assign to the action definition SLFN0001_ADVANCED_FIND_PARTNER(i hope).
Can anyone help me out with the piece of code. Because i don't which FMs to be called for read and update the support desk message.
Note: Action definition SLFN0001_ADVANCED_FIND_PARTNER uses method call Z_CRM_DNO_PARTNER_1(which is a copy of CRM_DNO_PARTNER_1 and applied some correction as per note: 1041455).
Thanks in advance.

The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client... again!

Please, please, please help me!
I get the error, "The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client", intermittently on my Test Server. Strangely, without restarting the server or IIS, my application suddenly decides that I don't have the right Oracle client. I don't have any such issue on my local machine even though I'm using the same Oracle 11g client from Beta 1.
I have Oracle 11g (D:\Oracle11g\product\11.1.0) installed. I tried specifying which assembly to use in my web.config:
<compilation debug="true" defaultLanguage="c#">
<assemblies>
<add assembly="Oracle.DataAccess, Version=2.111.5.10, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342" />
</assemblies>
</compilation>
I'm not even trying to use a 10g client with the Providers as discussed here: "The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client"
What I don't understand is why this error comes and goes?!?! Has anyone experienced anything like this?

The server is Win 2003. The local development machine is WinXP.
...I was trying to wait to install Beta 2 because of the nasty bugs reported on this forum.
I'm now seeing that ORACLE_HOME wasn't set on my server because my co-worker removed the path. Somehow it was able to find an Oracle Home on the server, but apparently, it didn't always find the same home causing this error intermittently.
Now, my question is how can I get my application to use the 11g Client as its Oracle Home, while my co-worker can use 10g Client as his Oracle Home? To be a bit more specific, he needs to use an ODBC client to connect because his application uses Classic ASP.
Is this possible, or are we going to have to set up separate machines?

'The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client error' popping up randomly

I have several asp.net pages running on an application server which generally work without issue. However I've had the Server error "The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client error" crop up twice seemingly randomly that affects all of my pages that interact with the DB server. A simple reboot of the application server solves the issue and the pages run again with no problems. What could be causing this problem?

Sorry if I wasn't clear initially. Basically I've got 2 different applications in 2 different IIS folders on the webserver, each with several asp.net pages. They work fine for a period of time and then inexplicably that error gets thrown and affects all of my asp.net pages in both applications. The admin tells me that the other older applications on the same server are unaffected. A simple reboot of the server fixes the issue until the next time it happens (I can't identify any consistent point where this crash happens, the admin originally suggested that there might be something in my code causing a memory issue). I had the same applications hosted on my local machine for a time and this never happened as well as it never happening when I run them in localhost. How can I trace whether or not another part of my application is trying to load ODP.NET by itself? How can I verify the DLL search order for my application?
