Installing 10.2.0.5 client on top of 10.2.0.3

Hi,
I am trying to install the Oracle client on a Windows 7 machine (64 bit). I did some looking and found info which recommended installing the Oracle Database 10g Client Release 2 (10.2.0.3), followed by the 10.2.0.5 patch set. I downloaded and installed the 10.2.0.3 client. Next I went to get the patch, not realizing that one must have a support contract in order to download patches. I now see that I can get the 10.2.0.5 client itself. Since I don’t have access to the patch, would it be ok to just install the 10.2.0.5 client?? Would the 10.2.0.5 client replace 10.2.0.3? Or would this approach just lead to trouble?
Thanks for any information or suggestions.

Yes.
I've used a 11Gr2 client to connect to 9i , 10g & 11g datbases. I believe the 11GR2 client is the only one ok'd for Win7 too - check.
I've also known the 9i client to connect to 9i, 10g & 11G dababases - BUT - when a users password expires in 11G, (where mixed case passwords are enabled but not used till now), the 9i and 10g client cannot change it - even to one without any uppercase in it.
Take note that if you are using both 32bit & 64bit ODBC DSN's on a 64bit Windows server , there are separate ODBC Management tools to create the DSN's for 32bit & 64bit. But I digress..
You should always test any compiled client applications - if you have encoded password management within, to an 11G sandpit DB before upgrading the prod instance. We found a requirement to recompile a client executable that did password management, with 11GR2 client libs. By password management, I mean the application had been build with the functionality encoded, to offer a way for the user to change their Oracle password.
I still urge you to upgrade your DB to 11GR2 soon, as 10gr2 is now getting on in years. Risk reduction?
You can always set the DB (or session) parameter "optimizer_features_enabled" to 10.2.0 (or even back to 9.2.0) if some 'tuned' SQL runs slower, or until you have a chance to rewrite the code. [Or let the optimiser automatically capture & evaluate it overnight to find a better plan by itself - the DB is much better/smarter these days]. Oracle also offers 'workload capture and replay' methods to pre-prove all code will perform at same or better levels (and use an existing transfered execution plan for a statement if it cannot) before the move to 11G.

  • RE: Installing Forte 3.0.E.0 on top of 3.0.C.0

    Jens,
    I ran the same road when we were evaluation R3. As far as I know, Forte
    changed Express singificantly between Express 20C0 to 20D0 and again to
    20E0. Express compatibility levels raised from CL5 to CL7.
    So, if you just copied the repository you should have at least the new
    versions of express installed in userapp and included the new express
    objects into your repository. Then integrate and update the workspaces
    in question. This way is very time consuming and probably not supported
    by Forte. Otherwise I would assume unpredictable results.
    What we did is the following: We exported the entire repository and
    started from an new exseed. This should work for you as well.
    I you have further questions please let me know

    Subject: Installing Forte 3.0.E.0 on top of 3.0.C.0
    Hi
    I have installed Forte 3.0.E.0 on a system that previously ran 3.0.C.0
    as well as EXPRESS.
    When I now try to update my (large) workspace, the whole thing freezes
    on my Windows95 client.
    There is no activity on the server. The server is a VMS-AXP, with some
    room left on disks...
    Did I forget something during installation, or do I have to Export all
    the projects from 3.0.C.0 before upgrading to 3.0.E.0?

  • Installing Oracle 8.1.7 Client

    I do not know about the oracle 10g client that which version is that on.
    For your information actually error is ORA-03134: connection to this server are no longer supported.
    The error which i am getting is on SSMA a tool by microsoft to migrate oracle to sql 2008. So that tool is displaying this error when i am trying to connect to oracle by the help of SSMA.That tool may be displaying the error, but it is only passing what it was given by the underlying Oracle client. The MS product really has nothing to do with the underlying problem, and can do nothing to fix it.
    I believe Schavalli is right, you may need to get a 9.2 client in there as an intermediary. I once had a system where the app was built in pro-C and the source was lost so could not be recompiled/relinked. We had to host the db on 10.2 to take advantage of certain security features. Ended up having to have an intermediate 9.2 database for the 8.1 client (and there's where we had to patch up to 8.1.7.4) to connect to, and all of the "tables" in the 9.2 were really just public synonyms to db_links pointing on to the 10.2 database.
    please suggest sth?
    Thanks for help

  • How to create a JAX-WS dispatch client on top of the SAP JAX-WS runtime?

    Hello,
    We have created an ear file that calls a web service using the Metro toolkit.  This code is throwing an exception when attempting to create a client to connect to the calculation service. The exception is coming out of the core JAX-WS classes that are part of NetWeaver. (see exception below)
    Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
         at com.sap.engine.services.webservices.espbase.client.jaxws.core.SAPServiceDelegate.createDispatchContextExistingPort(SAPServiceDelegate.java:440)

         at javax.xml.ws.Service.createDispatch(Service.java:166)
    We have done some research and it appears that as of NetWeaver 7.1 SP3 SAP stopped using the SUN JAX-WS runtime and implemented their own SAP JAX-WS runtime.
    Included below is the code we use to create a client below. It works fine on all the platforms we support with the exception of NetWeaver 7.1 SP3 and higher (already checked SP5 as well)
          //Create URL for service WSDL
          URL serviceURL = new URL(null, tpsWSEndpointWSDL);
          //create service qname
          QName serviceQName = new QName(targetNamespace, "CalculateTaxWSService");
          //create port qname
          QName portQName = new QName(targetNamespace, "CalculateTax");
          //create service
          Service service = Service.create(serviceURL, serviceQName);
          //create dispatch on port
          serviceDispatch = service.createDispatch(portQName, Source.class, Service.Mode.PAYLOAD);
          //invoke dispatch with Source based request
          Source result = serviceDispatch.invoke(new StreamSource(documentToInputStream(request)));
    Does anyone know what we need to change in order to create a JAX-WS dispatch client on top of the SAP JAX-WS runtime? 
    Thanksu2026
    -Chris

    Not that I have a definitive answer, but why should it matter? The web service should be developed independent of TLS. If you are trying to use SSL with then the web service is oblivious to it. If you are trying to use WS security thats a whole other ballgame.

  • Installing oracle 10g and 11g client  on the same Linux RHEL 5.4 host

    Is it possible to install Oracle 10g and 11g client on the same Linux RHEL 5.4 host and have the application switch between 10g and 11g? and how would the 10g and 11g be installed?

    Thanks for your reply.
    Typeically if 10g is installed in /home/roacle/product/10.2.0, are you saying that for 11g, it would be /home/oracle/product/11.0.0 ?
    How about switching the application? Does changing the ORACLE_HOME and PATH environment variable setting enough ? Let's say from
    ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/product/10.2.0/client_1 to /home/oracle/product/11.0.0/client_1

  • Installing Java Development Pieces on Client

    How do I install the missing java pieces on the client machine without installing an entire workflow/database instance?
    I've installed Workflow 2.6.2 on a Linux server. I've installed the 9.0.2 client on my Windows laptop. I can connect to the server with workflow builder, etc.
    Only problem is that none of the Java development pieces were installed on the client. So I cannot, for example, compile the WFTest.java application.

    Robert,
    You can copy the Jar files from your linux install onto your client oracle home.
    Check OH/jlib for the jar files.

    1.     SAP CRYSTAL REPORTS FOR ENTERPRISE 4.0 SP02 WINDOWS (32B)
    2.     SBOP BI PLATFORM 4.0 SP02 CLIENT TOOLS WINDOWS (32B)

    Do i need any more tools to download for clients. Is there a specific procedure in installing these components.
    Kindly guide.
    Thanks and Regards
    Ahmed

    Hi,
    there was a special installation order during XI 3.1 i`m not quite sure if there is one in BI4. To be sure i would recommend the following order:
    BI4 Clients
    BI4 Live Office
    CR for Ent
    The Installation process is pretty straight forward like installing an Office Package. So just only "Next" -> "Next" -> "Finish" and so on.
    You can find the official Installation guides under help.sap.com

    Joe,
    Ideally you would download the files via a web browser, but the Blazer
    browser that comes on the Handspring devices does not support file downloads. The other options would be to use a third party browser
    that does support file downloads; HotSync; IR; or using a memory card, but

    Hello,
    I am attempting to install the Oracle 11gR2 Instant Client using the UI on 32-bit XP. There are ten of these machines, and each is a fresh install of XP. This is the error:
    *SEVERE: [FATAL] [INS-32025] The chosen installation conflicts with software already installed in the given Oracle home.*
    CAUSE: The chosen installation conflicted with software already installed in the given Oracle home.
    ACTION: Install into a different Oracle home.
    INFO: Advice is ABORT
    Oracle has never been installed on these computers. So, there shouldn't be any conflict. I'm attempting to do an unattended installation using a DOS script. I'm using the .rsp file I created while installing on one of the machines using the GUI. BTW, I don't get this error when using the GUI, only while trying to do an unattended installation.
    This is the part of the script that calls the UI:
    setup.exe -silent -nowait -responseFile c:\client.rsp
    I'm firing off this script via Remote Desktop, does that make a difference? I don't have physical access to these hosts.
    Remember, these are fresh installations of XP, there isn't anything installed to create the conflict.
    My OracleHome is C:\app\Oracle\product\11.2.0\client_1
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks. I'm not getting this error when I use the GUI for the OUI. So, I'm not being "asked" anything. This error is only happening when I'm using the unattended installation option. Also, this is Windows, not Linux/Unix, so the path is more like "C:\app\Oracle\product\11.2.0\client_1". But, I checked my client.rsp file, anyway and there are no trailing back-slashes ("\").
    At any rate, I'm letting the OUI build my client.rsp file for me, so there shouldn't be any errors in it -- especially any typos or formatting errors, at least.
    Thanks. Do you have any other suggestions I could try?
