How to install Oracle Services for MTS (9i)

OK, I'm confused. I thought installing OraMTS components would be the same in 9i as in 10g.
In 10g I load the universal installer, and Oracle Services for MTS is present as a tickable, installable option
If I load the 9i installer (or point the 10g installer at the 9i stage directories) the option for Oracle Services for MTS just isnt there as a tickable option
How did you guys with 9i get the installer to put MTS on? (oramts.dll and it's friends)

From the base 9.2.0.1 media, start up OUI, choose Custom install type and tick Windows Interfaces (installs odbc, ole db, oramts, ...). If you have Metalink access, you may want to apply a patch set e.g. 9.2.0.7.
You can get 9.2 ODAC (which also includes Oracle's .Net Data Provider), from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/windows/odpnet/utilsoft.html to install just the Windows Interfaces directly, or to upgrade these files in a patched Client (patch sets seems to not affect/update these dlls).

How to get "Oracle Services for MTS" working?

I've implemented the microsoft code example (see at the bottom) for the use of distributed transactions (with system.transactions and MTS support). The code works fine as long as I use only MS sqlserver.
Well, I tried one connection to an oracle database and one connection to the sqlserver - and here the trouble starts ;-)
Oracle doesn't care about the transaction. After the command is executed the changes are made to the oracle database at once (no commit has occured at that point) even if the second command isn't successfull.
I suppose at the moment that the problem must be something around the interaction between MTS and oracle database, more precisly the oracle Services for MTS.
I've installed the odp.net client (ODAC1020221.exe).
The installer tells me that oracle data access components 10.2.0.2.21 and within the Oracle Services for MTS are installed.
But I cannot find a service with that name in the service list, OracleMTSRecoveryService is listed, but I'm not sure if that's the right one.
So here are my questions:
What's the name for 'Oracle Services for MTS' in the services list?
Do I have to install more than the odp.net client to get the MTS support running?
Is there a mistake in the code I'm running?
any help is welcome ...
thanx in advance!!!
And here's the code I'm working with:
[Transaction(TransactionOption.RequiresNew)]
public class Worker : ServicedComponent
[AutoComplete]
public void Test()
using (TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.RequiresNew, new TimeSpan(0, 5, 0)))
DbProviderFactory theFactory = DbProviderFactories.GetFactory("Oracle.DataAccess.Client");
using (DbConnection connection1 = theFactory.CreateConnection())
try
connection1.ConnectionString = ".........";
connection1.Open();
DbCommand command1 = theFactory.CreateCommand();
command1.Connection = connection1;
command1.CommandText = "Insert into user (name, surname,benoid) values ('hans','wurst','32315134512345')";
object returnValue = command1.ExecuteNonQuery();
using (SqlConnection connection2 = new SqlConnection("Data Source=localhost;Database=UserManagement;Trusted_Connection=true;"))
try
connection2.Open();
//this command fails
SqlCommand command2 = new SqlCommand("Insert into uuuu (name, vorname) values ('hans','wurst')", connection2);
object retValue = command2.ExecuteNonQuery();
catch (Exception ex)
return;
catch (Exception ex)
return;
scope.Complete();
}

hey what's up you figured out your problem with M$DTC/Oracle 11i with ODP.NET trying to do a TransactionScope?
I saw your problem - and I ran into the same.
Re: 10g Express + ODP.NET (version 2.111.6.20) > support TransactionScope?
Trying to install "Oracle Services for MTS" not sure how but working on it now. Doc looks old however,

Installing Oracle Services for MTS (9.2) on a 8.1.7 Database

Hello,
I'm trying to run the script oramtsadmin.sql which comes with the Oracle Services for MTS 9.2 on a 8.1.7 database.
When trying to compile the UTL_ORAMTS package I get the following error:
The following error has occurred:
PACKAGE BODY MTSSYS.UTL_ORAMTS
On line: 0
PLS-00908: The stored format of UTL_ORAMTS is not supported by this release
Any idea where I can find a copy of this wrapped package that can be compiled on a 8.1.7 database ?
thx,
Piet Neyrinck

I have the same problem. The documentation sayes that it will work with 8.1.7, but when I run the script I get the same error

Error while Installing Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server

I downloaded "Oracle9i Database Release 2 Enterprise/Standard/Personal Edition for Windows NT/2000/XP" and installed the personal edition. It did not install successfully and gave this error message:
Error while Installing Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server
The specified key was not found while trying to GetValue
- stop installation of all products.
- stop installation of this component only.
The installation of Oracle 9i Database was unsuccessful
The Integration tools and client installed just fine from the same download. Why didn't the database install successfully? All the other components seemed to install just fine and the database appeared to be created - but I could not open it and there was not start menu option for DBA Studio.
I am running Windows 2000 professional with Service Pack 3 on a 2 GHz Pentium4 machine with 512MB Rambus RAM, 32bit color graphics ATI All-in-Wonder card, about 40GB of disk space, a local peer-to-peer network via cat5 cable to another Win2k P3 machine, and Creative Soundblaster Audigy card. Do I need to adjust any network settings? Would it help or hinder if I installed MS IIS? WinNT has a Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) but Win2k has COM+ instead; does that make a difference in terms of the installer looking for MTS? Do I need to configure COM+ in some special way / change settings?

HI Salman,
I am doing the following.
1. I am installing Oracle 10.2.01 Database(Not Client) on my windows Xp laptop. While installation i Choose the custom option and Check the Oracle Windows Interface. In that i check the "Install Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction server" checkbox. The installation goes on fine till 99% and when it tries to install the
Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction server it gives an error saying that "Microsoft Transaction server" was not found on the system.
I had previously installed the same on my laptop and it was working fine. but after uninstallation when i try to re install i get this problem.
If i go to the services.msc option in windows i still see the OracleMTSRecoveryService option even when i have uninstalled oracle. But when i try to start the services i get the following error
Could Not start the OracleMTSRecoveryService on the local computer.
Error 3: The system cannot find the file specified.
Any help on how to resolve this issue will be highly appreciated

Ganesh,
From the trace provided, it appears that the OraOLEDB had problems loading the OraMTS.DLL appropriately. Can you check to see if the OraMTS.DLL is in your %ORACLE_HOME%\bin and your PATH is set with %ORACLE_HOME%\bin included?
Another possibility is that an older version of OraMTS.DLL resides in your
%ORACLE_HOME%\bin. If you invoke "dumpbin /exports oramts.dll" at the DOS command line, one exported function should be called "OraMTSSvcEnlistEx". If you don't see this, then that means you should try reinstalling OraMTS 8.1.7 again.
Hope that helps.

I can't start Oracle Services for MTS

Hello there, Oracle users!
I am new here, as new to the Oracle technology. We are developping a
software which must be transaction compliant, and we're on microsoft
platform, and thatswy we're using sql2000 and microsoft transaction
server for our application server components.
But one of our clients wants to use oracle 8i db as the resource manager. We had to make the proper work mts with oracle. I've red all of the oracle documentation within this topic, and i successfully installed
the Oracle Services for MTS on our development machine at the workplace.
(created the mts_proxy_info table, granted the specific roles to a specific db user, the specific privileges, and so on), and
it is working nicely, the log says "accepting new enlistment requests",
everything is wonderful.
But at the client, i repeated all of the steps (the only difference is,
that they have the server on a HP-UX machine instead of winnt and i had not access to the oracle server, i just gived the sql script to the oracle dba guy there (maybe he missed something?)), and when i wanted to start the oracle services for MTS on the Application server, the log says this: "incorrect password, or username". I really don't
undestand it, because i can connect through the OLEDB driver with the
specified username, password and Service name. (in a datalink (udl), for example)
If anybody had an idea i would be very happy
thanks in advance,
daniel szabo
ps: the app server config is:
nt 4.0 server
sp 6
option pack 2
iis 4
mts 2
script host 5.5

Daniel,
In pre-8.1.7.4.0 beta implementations, your application server e.g. IIS or MTX.EXE hosts MTS transactional components. When such components acquire OLEDB or ODBC connections to Oracle and external service setup for that database i.e. OracleMTSService<id> joins the MTS transaction on behalf of the Oracle database which quite often runs on a non-Windows platform e.g. Solaris. We restrict each database to have one and only such service. This brings in scalability and availability issues. In 8.1.7.4.0 we have embedded the transaction join and commit logic in the clientside dll. There is no OracleMTSService<id> for a given database. The only service needed is a recovery service one per Windows machine on which Oracle Svcs For MTS is installed. This service is automatically created on installation of the product and doesn't connect to the databases. Instead the involved databases connect to the service via HTTP to resolve any MTS-related transactions that are in-doubt.

MSDTC, Vista, Oracle Services for MTS and TransactionScope

Hi there,
We're using .NET 2.0 TransactionScope on a Vista client. By default this will create a distributed transaction using MTS which will then be proxied using Oracle Services for MTS. However we consistently get the following error:
ORA-00161: transaction branch length 100 is illegal (maximum allowed 64).
According to this thread http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=943955&SiteID=1 Microsoft made some changes in MSDTC in Vista which are likely to have caused this problem. They say they were co-ordinating with Oracle to determine an appropriate fix.
Is this an acknowledged issue? Has it been fixed and if not, when will it be fixed?
Kind Regards,
Dean Ward

FYI, the following code reproduces the issue...
using (TransactionScope txScope = new TransactionScope())
using (OracleConnection oracleConnection = new OracleConnection("Data Source=Test;User Id=Test;Password=Test"))
oracleConnection.Open();
using (OracleCommand oracleCommand = new OracleCommand("SELECT 'Test' FROM Test", oracleConnection))
oracleCommand.Connection = oracleConnection;
using (OracleDataReader oracleDataReader = oracleCommand.ExecuteReader())
while (oracleDataReader.Read())
System.Console.WriteLine(oracleDataReader.GetString(0));
txScope.Complete();
}

DT require Oracle9i client and Oracle Services for MTS software

"Distributed Transactions require Oracle9i client and Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server software."
I get the error above when attempt to run a COM+ transaction accessing Oracle9i. I'd been checked the installation of Oracle9i and Oracle Services in the client computer and it is ok.
I am using Windows Server 2003 and the database server is on another Windows Server 2003. The database is Oracle9i Enterprise Edition.
At Stanford's web site (http://www.stanford.edu/dept/itss/docs/oracle/9i/win.920/a95496/ch1.htm#1079911) I found Oracle's documentation that explains this, but it didn't worked for me.
Oracle Services is installed in both machines.
The Oracle MTS Recovery Service is running.
The COM+ component is registered.
When I use the same component with SQL Server 2005 beta 2 it works fine. What else do I need to do?
Thanks in advance.

How to install Window service for Managed Servers of a Cluster

Dear All,
          I am preparing a production setup consist of three machines A,B and C. Machines A is the Admin Server which hosts a cluster consist of two managed nodes. I intend to schedule both these nodes, targeted to two different machines (machines B node-b and machine C host node-c), as startup task on daily basis. I have no Node Manager running on machine A, but on machine B and machine C.
          I am only interested to schedule started task for node-b and node-c only. I need to know how to install the Windows services for the node-b and node-c since there are targeted on remote machines. Starting managed server as Win sevice works in the case of standalone managed servers but not sure when it comes to cluster setup.I appreciate if you can throw some light on this question.
          Thanks
          Kris

Krish,
          >Let say I gracefully shutdown both managed servers while >Admin is running. Do you think both these nodes while be >brought up ? I dont think they will come up.
          If you require an automatic restart when the managed server did not enter a failed state you can use the weblogic.Admin utility to ping the servers and kick off a server startup in the normal way with nodemanger see:
          http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/admin_ref/cli.html
          http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/adminguide/confignodemgr.html
          If your servers entered a failed state you can use weblogics self health monitoring.
          >Can we use JMX MBean to start managed servers ?
          Yes.
          As long as the nodemanagers are running you can start the managed servers using scripted commands using the weblogic.Admin class or your own java app using JMX.
          I think you may also be able to use WLST
          http://dev.bea.com/codelibrary/code/wlst.jsp
          hope this helps
