Installing and using the instant client

Hi, we are having some troubles with understanding how to use the instant client.
We are using a windows client, connection to our Oracle database via odbc, so we can make some staticstics.
We used to use the full oracle client 8 install, but when that gave us some troubles, so we wantedto switch to a newer release, and saw that there was an instant client. Thinking that i didnt need to install the full oracle client i downloaded the basic package and the odbc addon.
I unzipped the two archieves in c:\oracleodbc on a clean computer.
I added the c:\oracleodbc path to the %path%
I added TNS_ADMIN system variable pointing to c:\oracleodbc
i ran the odbc_install.exe program.
I would now think that i could access the oracle database via odbc without having to install the full oracleclient, but it does not work.
When i try to add a odbc connection in microsoft odbc manager i get the following error when i choose the oracle odbc driver:
"The setup routines for the Oracle in instantclient10_2 ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 126"
When i click ok to that i get a new error window with the title: "Driver's ConfigDSN, ConfigDriver, or ConfigTranslator failed" and the error text:
"Could not load the setup or translator library"
I was not planning to use any TNS files, but just use the quickconnect string, to connect to the right oracle service.
Do i still need to install the full client for it to work or what ?
Hope someone can help out.
Thanks in advance.

I'm replying to an old thread, but did any of you ever got this resolved?
I've got a fresh Windows 2003 Server install, from which I'd need to establish an ODBC connection to an Oracle database.
I've downloaded Instant Client Basic and ODBC add-on, unzipped them into D:\oracle\instantclient10_2\ , added the path into PATH, TNS_ADMIN and ORACLE_HOME environment variables and run the odbc_install.exe successfully.
Trying to create an ODBC connection (System DSN) results in "The setup routines for the Oracle in instantclient10_2 ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 126".
I don't have MFC71 on the server and I couldn't figure out where to get those - I won't install MS Visual .NET just for this. MFC42 appears to be included in the OS.
Where can I get an older version of Instant Client instead?

I'm trying to distribute a DB Application using the Instant Client provided

Hi!!
I'm trying to distribute a DB Application using the Instant Client provided by Oracle.
I've checked the FAQ of Oracle and says the Instant Client supports all existant versions of Oracle.
But I've also seen in another posting that the oci.dll needs the same Oracle version file it was created with.
I need to distribute an application that provides all the 8i, 9i and 10g versions.
Do I have to distribute the oci.dll for each version?
I just wanted to check if this was true.
One more question, when I uncompress the Instant Client, many files appear from which
I only left oci.dll, oraocci11.dll and oraociei11.dll and erased them all, but the program
still works. Is it ok?
thanx

I am not sure what you mean if you say that you "need to distribute an application that provides all the 8i, 9i and 10g versions".
If you mean that you want your application to be able to access Oracle Databases of versions 8, 9 and 10, then you can use Instant Client 10.2.0.4 which is able to connect to all of them.
If your application does not need more than the three DLLs you mention to run, that should be fine.

How to install and use the Gnome-DO application in oracle enterprise Linux

My Oracle Enterprise linux is 5.3,
I want to install and use the Gnome-Do(http://do.davebsd.com) in my box.
Please help me regarding this.
With Regards
DSK

According to Google, Gnome-Do has known issues about CPU bugs and hogs and the latest incarnation does not seem to be available for RHEL and clones. You should have more luck with Linux Desktop distributions like Fedora and Ubuntu. Or you could try to build from source using the info at: http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/Installing_Do. Good luck - I wouldn't bother.

How to install and use the Khmer unicode Khmer MEF1 and Khmer MEF2?

How to install and use the Khmer unicode Khmer MEF1 and Khmer MEF2?
from www.mef.gov.kh in the bottom of the page, you can get the unicode for the ms office

I think that stuff is for windows, a waste of time trying to use it on a Mac.
There is no need to download anything for Khmer on a Mac. Apple provides Khmer fonts and keuyboards with OS X.
OS X Mountain Lion: Type in another language
MS Word for Mac does not support Khmer. Use TextEdit, Pages, Nisus Writer, LibreOffice instead

Compilation and use of instant client

I have two questions:
1. Can I compile a ProC and OCI program with Instant Client (10.1.0.4 or 10.2)? If so, how do I do it? what settings need to be done?
2. Oracle 10g can be installed on SunOs 5.8 and above. Can I use Oracle Instant Client (which is 10g also) on lower level machine, like SunOs 5.7 ? Is there a matrix which shows the platform that instant client can be used?

Thanks Toliver for the quick answer.
I still have some missunderstanding regarding the second question.
I saw Oracle's Client/Server interoperability matrix, but this matrix (at list the one I looked at) only stated the combination of which client version can work with which Oracle's Server version.
The senario I am interested in is this:
I compile a C program which uses ProC and OCI in SunOs 5.8, against Oracle server 10.1.0.4.
Now, the program need to use Instant Client 10.1.0.4, and connect to 8i, 9i, and 10g databases.
The tricky part is that the program actually runs on SunOs 5.7 (where SunOs 5.7 is not stateted as a platform for 10g), but the 5.7 machine is not where the database is. The program connects other machines which has 8i,9i and 10g databases.
Will It work?

Unix/Linux: How can other OS-users use the Instant Client?

Hello,
I have a question concerning the practical use of Instant Client. I'm new to this topic and followed the installation guide for Instant Client and installed the software from CD as "oracle"-user belonging to "oinstall"-group.
My question:
How can I now grant access to the installed libraries which belong "oracle:oinstall" with a completely different user, lets say "tsmith" who belongs only to OS-group "users" ?
What is the most recommended way to grant access to other users?
(in the documentation I found the following statement "the only user accounts that should belong to the oinstall group are the Oracle software owner accounts. For example, the oracle user"....that would mean, it is not recommended to put the user "tsmith" into the "oinstall" group, isn't it?)
Please tell me, how do you grant the access to Instant Client from other user accounts in daily life?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
Regards
FireFighter

Oracle tends to be as restrictive with access permissions to the installed software, which is good in principle, but often leads to problems and bugs.
I'd say that if Instant Client is the only Oracle software you have installed in this Oracle Home, you can safely loosen the permissions on this Oracle Home.
I'd change directories to 0755, normal files to 0644 and executable files (files that have executable permission for the owner) to 0755.

I am having trouble installing and using remote desktop client and admin on the same imac. I need help?

Can you give me a step by step on getting the client and the admin part of remote desktop to work? I am new to this and I need for remote desktop to work to install the Faronics Deepfreeze enterprise console on the new imac in office. The OSx version is 10.8.3 Any help will be greatly appreciated. Also, when I go to install the admin, it says that the remote desktop client is not updated and I cant get mac app store to show any updates. May be doing something wrong.

This is what I usualy do to setup ARDclient on a client computer.
on the client computer
go to menu bar (white bar at top of the screen)
click on the apple menu
chose system preferences
click show all button
click Users & Groups
click the lock to unlock
click + to create a new account
chose new account: type "administrator"
name the user some thing applicable like "ARDuser"
set a secure password
click create account
click show all button
click sharing
set the computer name to some thing descritpive that identifies the computer
check remote login
click on remote login
set allow access for: "only these users"
click the +
chose the ARDuser from the list
click select
check remote management
click on remote management
set allow access to "only these users"
click the +
select the ARDuser from the list
click select
check: observe, control, genereate reports, open & quite applications, delete and replace items, start text chat or send messages, restart & shutdown, copy items
click ok
click the lock to lock system preferences
click show all
quite system preferences
At this point you should be able to connect to the client using Apple Remote Desktop using the ARDuser setup above. Make sure the client and the ARD computer are on the same network the same way. IE both on ethernet or both on wifi. On the same internet conenction, if your were trying to conenct to a client over the internet there is more involved.
on the ard computer:
open apple remote desktop
from the left column select discover
make sure the list is set to bonjour
the client computer should show up on the list, with the name set above
select the client from the list
click control
you will be prompted for the user/pass to log into the computer. that's the ARDuser setup in the steps above.

How to install and use certificates on client?

Hello everyone, and first of all sorry for my poor, italian-accented english.
I have some questions about SSL and certificates. I'm developing a java desktop application, which should connect to a https server, authenticate with a previously downloaded certificate and then gain access. Some specs: I work on a Windows Xp Pro machine with Netbeans 6.1 and jdk 1.6.0_07.
Now, I'm using HttpUnit libraries to connect the first time, login with basic authentication and download the certificate, but after i get it I'm not sure how to install the certificate (using java, it has to be an automated procedure) on the client machine and then how to use it to connect to the server. I've tried to use the code I've found here and after using it I can see the certificate inside Control Panel > Java > Securiy > Certificates > System, but I'm not sure I'm installing it in the correct way and/or in the correct path.
Everytime I try to connect to the server I get back a HTTP 403 forbidden exception. Does someone know any tutorials/howtos/example codes to suggest to me? Or could tell me what's the right installation procedure using java? Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance
K.

After banging my head on my keyboard for a lot of hours, I've got it!
I was trying to install a *.pfx certificate, and that was bad. I tried to convert it in *.p12 or *.cer but that workaround didn't work. Finally I've found a small code to use a *.pfx certificate without installing it and... it works! No more 403 errors now, I can get that damn page. :)
Here is the class I've used (I've found it somewhere googling around but I've lost the link, sorry. Anyway, I've modified it a little)

How to install and use the CP2102 USART to USB Converter?

First off, I did a quick search and found that some people had had success in that the cp210x driver was already installed on their machines. I did a modprobe and it returned nothing (not an error).
I searched around on the net a bit and found a very useful USART to USB converter bridge (http://www.nexuscyber.com/cp2102-usb-to … Mgod5UQAdQ). The CP2102 is a programmable device with many settings insofar as the data framing is concerned. As such, a driver for the device must be used to interface and modify these parameters.
On the Silabs website I found this driver (http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/page … ivers.aspx) for linux (kernel > 3.x.x). The problem is that this driver is just a single C program with zero documentation. An include make file is about as useful considering it has a single line in it that fails (for me) at run-time.
obj-m = cp210x.o
KVERSION = $(shell uname -r)
all:
make -C /lib/modules/$(KVERSION)/build M=$(PWD) modules
clean:
make -C /lib/modules/$(KVERSION)/build M=$(PWD) clean
The driver source can be found here (http://pastie.org/private/kulx2zqdyvkafoxekwjq)

Can anyone provide some guidance on the steps to install this driver (or at least where to look) and why there is such a lack of documentation? Are there assumptions here that I am not aware of? How is anyone suppose to use this? If you look in the source there are structures being used as arguments to functions that are never defined as far as I can tell. Perhaps they are part of the header files included at the top, but I could not find some of those on my machine either.
Has anyone had success using this device?

ewaller wrote:<hopeful>Do you have an oscilloscope? </hopeful>
First, I think you have a mismatched Baud. Check your settings in GtkTerm. It could also be the uController. I know you said you have it set for 9600 Baud, but are you sure? The divisor settings are dependent on your clock frequency. Are you sure you are using the correct divisors for the frequency of your crystal? And are you using a crystal, ceramic oscillator, or external oscillator for your time base?
I did not think the internal RC oscillators were that bad off, so I was using the internal 8MHz (DIV8 = 0 fuse bit). Taking your advice I just refused the AVR and set it to use a 20MHz clock (external crystal oscillator) to no avail. The setting in GTKterm is certainly 9600 baud.Referencing the datasheet for the Atmega328P we have:
Which gives a a UBRR register value of 129 corresponding to normal speed (U2Xn = 0). This is all computed for me at compile-time via this formula:
20,000,000/(16*9600) - 1 = 129.2 ~ 129 truncated.
That the two devices can communicate tells me they both might be using the same wrong Baud.
I was also suspicious of this .. I do not have a trivial way to test this though. Perhaps some workaround using timers is about the best I can do; no oscilloscope here. Doing a quick high-level test I did find something rather interesting though. Both devices are set to run at 9600 baud. One device is operating at 8MHz (internal oscillator) and the other is using an external 20MHz crystal. I am getting UART communication between the devices, but certainly not the characters I'm sending..
The other problem is that I think you have "Local Echo" turned on in GtkTerm. This places the system in "Half Duplex" mode in which data are not expected to be echoed from the Atmel. That you are getting two characters when the pins are shorted tells me you get the local echo and the loopback. Then the loopback is missing, you still get the local echo. Also, make sure you have parity turned off.
GTKterm does not actually show you what you are typing into the terminal. That is, when you type a character then nothing is displayed to the screen. Presumably this character is sent out as you type it. I was under the impression that local echo would just echo what I type to the screen as well as send it out. Thank you for the clarification.

Is there a step by step instruction on how to install and use the ae render engine?

The answers on the adobe are in computer-ese and I just don't get it. Currently I am using ae 5.5 on a 2.8 eight core with a quad core waiting to be accessed for rendering.
ERIC

I'm not sure I understand your question. The render engine is installed with you installed CS5.5 If you want to use another computer for rendering all you have to do is to install AE on that computer, open up the render engine (it says what it is in name of the app) and then open your project file, pick the comps you want to render and press render.
If you are trying to get the render engine to work in the background then you need to do a bunch of other stuff and we need to know all about your system, operating system down to the last decimal point, memory, and projects to point you to what may be the best setup. We also need to understand what you want to be doing with this machine while it is rendering. Things like working on another project in AE while rendering may require different settings than working in Photoshop or answering email's while rendering.

I previously purchased Lightroom 5 I have a new computer and want to install and use the full version of this instead of paying the monthly fee. How can I do that?

Hello,
I previously had a Mac Book Air and just recently purchased a Mac Book Pro. I previously had Lightroom 5 on my Mac. I would like to have the purchased version running on my new Mac and not pay the monthly fee to use Lightroom. I have the product key in an email from when I purchased Lightroom. I also have the trial version of Lightroom installed on my computer but my trial version has expired. How do I validate the Product Key? Thank you!

If the trial version is not presenting you with an option to activate it then you might be best off just uninstalling it and reinstalling via the download link(s) below...

How do i install and use the lacie hard disk

i bought the 1TB Lacie Rugged Hard Drive because I have run out of disk space on my Mac desktop. Once I plug it in, I can't seem to format it for the Mac and then use it to transfer my iPhoto library from my desktop to the Lacie Hard drive. Please help! Thanks.

I went into Disk Utility and into Erase and selected Mac OS Journaled and hit "Erase" (I hope that wasn't a big mistake.)
... it was only a mistake if the LaCie drive has multiple partitions on it. Sometimes they have a utiliy partition that I like to remove.
Then when asked whether I wanted to use Time Machine to back up everything on my Mac, I hit "yes". (I hope that wasn't a big mistake.)
... it was only a mistake if you didn't want TimeMachine to use it.
So now the Lacie image on my desktop has turned from orange to green (Time Machine?) and is backing up 700,000 things. . .I just want to free up space on my Mac so I was thinking of moving my iPhoto library from my Mac over to the Lacie Hard Drive. Will I be able to still do that, given what I just did above? If so, do I just drag the iPhoto library icon onto the green (Time Machine?) icon on my desktop?
... if the LaCie has enough space this should be fine. You might run into problems later when TimeMachine starts to fill up your drive; iPhoto might start giving you errors if there isn't enough freespace.

Can you install and use the software "infuzer" with IPad

Can someone advise if yo can do the above, and if so how?

Only if it is available in the App Store.

Formication : How to install and use it

Hi,
I need some help. I would like to install and use the Formication CGI but I don't find any documentation usable for someone who never installed any CGI
Does someone use it and can teach me how to install and use it ? Or maybe there is a documentation somewhere ?
Thanks for any help

>I thought it was something well known here.
I'd never heard of it before.
Find here the message from the Mac OS X Server Mailing list where I found it.
Hi all..
We are currently moving: from WebStar / Lasso 6.x / FMS 5.5 to
Mac OSX Server / Apache / Lasso.850 / FMSA 8.
On our WebStar webserver we used FlexMail to handle e-mails sent from a
html-form, unless we wanted databases/Lasso to get involved.
I understand FlexMail cannot be used on Apache so I have been looking around
and searched the list for any tool to do the same job.
--> What tool to send e-mails directly from web-forms
with a reasonable option to format the e-mail and
generate a response page.
Henning, most of the people that transition from WebSTAR to iTools Apache use Formication.
Formication is a Perl version of Flexmail, so it has all the features of Flexmail, plus more. It was designed by one of the developers of the original Flexmail.
When you convert from WebSTAR to Apache you can keep your script intact.
With iTools, all you need to do is to add the action:
Flexmail /cgi-bin/formication.pl
and the .flx handler,
and the scripts run unchanged.
>I also found that there is an invisible file
inside. It's a .htaccess file
I'd totally missed that, and it's likely to be the
critical link.
yes... I supposed it was something important but.... well hidden...
By default, as shipped by Apple, .htaccess files are
ignored. You need to explicity enable then in
/etc/httpd/httpd.conf
Both 'Action' and 'AddHandler' (the two directives in
the .htaccess file) require FileInfo override for the
directory. Therefore, at the very least you need to
add:
<pre class=command><Directory /path/to/your/form>
AllowOverride FileInfo
Directory></pre>
to your httpd.conf so that apache will read the
.htacess file.
Alternatively, since you have to edit httpd.conf
anyway, you might just want to add those directives
to the <Directory> block, which will save Apache
having to read the file each time the form is used.
Thanks a lot Camelot,

Installing and using different software on different computers of Master collection simultaneously

No. It's not possible. You have 2 activations that are valid for all apps and that is that. Read the EULA
