Installing minimal windows client for ODBC

Does anybody know how to install an oracle ODBC driver to access oracle databases with the following:
- keep oracle client as small as possible (jdbc needs less than 1.5 MB!)
- not to use tnsnames.ora (jdbc does not need this and works fine)
- connecting to databases from workstation as user and not administrator (8.x works but 10.....)
- not to change registry nls_lang entry for connecting to different databases with different settings!
I did never before encounter problems like this with other databases. As we have to user oracle (with ODBC) we have to configure our clients.
btw: odbc driver version is 10g

Thanks a lot for your help,
I got a step further. The mistake was to set the path on the main directory which in my case was C:\Instantclient
instead of the directory created unzipping the installation files: C:\Instantclient\instantclient_10_2
But now I'm in defining the datasouce:
As stated in the help file:
Before you configure the data source, you must configure network database services so there is an entry for each TNS Service Name. To do this, start the Oracle Net Manager by one of the following methods:
From the start menu, select Programs, select Oracle for Windows NT, and select the Oracle Net Manager.
Using the Oracle Net Manager, you can create an entry in the tnsnames.ora file for each TNS Service Name. The Oracle Net Manager is installed when you install Oracle Net Services.
But I don't have any entry in the program group. Does the instant client create an entry as well?
Do I have do install the Oracle Net Services additionally to the Instant client?
In the releasenotes above from legatti they are talking about an TNS_ADMIN entry which has to point to the ora files?
Do I have to define this as systemparameter pointing to the C:\Instantclient\instantclient_10_2 directory as well.
Thanks a lot for every hint

Where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5 ?

Folks,
Hello. I am using Oracle Linux 5 and Oracle Database 11g for PIA.
Before install Oracle DB 11g into Oracle Linux 5, we need to install X Window System according to the document page 2 http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32285.pdf
But I don't know where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5.
Can any folk provide a link to download X Window System and tutorial to install it for Oracle Linux 5 ?

You can address the problem in a number of different ways.
You can install X-windows from the installation DVD or setup access to the Oracle public software repository as described in http://public-yum.oracle.com. In which case, the command to install X-windows is: yum groupinstall "X Window System"
Or, you login remotely and and use SSH with X-forwarding, in which case the software on the server will use the X-Windows server on your client system. This is probably the preferred way since you do not have X-windows installed on the server. For more details about SSH forwarding and howto, please see Install Oracle 11gR2 on Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (64-bit) Howto part 2 Oracle Universal Installer.

Windows client for ARD?

I'm looking in to how to establish a remote desktop connection from Windows to Macs with the stipulation that we not use VNC so I'm wondering if a Windows client for ARD exists.
If not, does anyone have a suggestion for doing RDC from Windows to Mac. I can already do it going from Mac to Windows using MS's client or the open source CoRD, but I'm really hitting dead-ends trying to figure out how to go the other way.

To continue what Templeton Peck said, most any VNC client will work. I personally prefer UltraVNC, and I use that to control 5 different Windows machines from my Mac. While you don't get all the advanced options like sharing clipboards, waking/shutting down, collecting reports etc... You still get full access to the remote Windows machine as you do when you connect to a Mac in ARD.

Install MS windows Service for WLS_REPORTS

Hi
Have installed MS windows Services for WLS "AdminServer" and "WLS_FORMS".
When installing the service for "WLS_REPORTS" installation end up with "The input line is too long"
from "C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\bin\installSvc.cmd" on
set CMDLINE="%JAVA_VM% %MEM_ARGS% %JAVA_OPTIONS% -classpath \"%CLASSPATH%\" -Dweblogic.Name=%SERVER_NAME% -Dweblogic.management.username=%WLS_USER% -Dweblogic.management.server=\"%ADMIN_URL%\" -Dweblogic.ProductionModeEnabled=%PRODUCTION_MODE% -Djava.security.policy=\"%WL_HOME%\server\lib\weblogic.policy\" weblogic.Server"
problably because of the CLASSPATH too long.
How to solve this or any workaround?
Do I have to include all jars in the classpath?
Regards
Tobias

It is not working for me.
I created an external file class.txt. It has:
set CLASSPATH=%WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH%;%CLASSPATH%
Then I updated installSVC.cmd:
set CMDLINE="%JAVA_VM% %MEM_ARGS% %JAVA_OPTIONS% *-classpath @C:\class.txt* -Dweblogic.Name=%SERVER_NAME% -Dweblogic.management.username=%WLS_USER% -Dweblogic.management.server=\"%ADMIN_URL%\" -Dweblogic.ProductionModeEnabled=%PRODUCTION_MODE% -Djava.security.policy=\"%WL_HOME%\server\lib\weblogic.policy\" weblogic.Server"
It creates the service, but when I try to start it, I receive:

Solaris 10 Printer share by Samba SWAT. Then install onto windows client

Hello,
I am having trouble with below.
1) Installing printer on Solaris 10
2) Sharing the printer via SWAT
3) Install the printer on Solaris from Windows client.
Where can I find the basic information for above 3 which I need to achieve?
I have installed the printer locally onto Solaris 10, and was able to print, but I just can't share it to Windows.
And because of that, I am not sure if I am doing the local printer installation in the right way or not..
If anybody can lead me to a good website or good document for printer installation and sharing,
please let me know.
Regards,
Tanuki

Well, if you don't think the online Documentation helpful, then the better way is reading step-by-step instructions from a book. Get to local bookstore, i.e Barne&Nobles or Border or any big local bookstore, there should be pretty good book for Unix Administrator (Solaris version).
If you have time and think you can memorize then, read on the spot; otherwise, buy the book for future reference.
If that's not what you had in mind, then this link of free online book might help : http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/solaris8/chapter/ch04.html
Normally, oreilly online bookstore offers free books to accredited universities, colleges, and organizations. However, if that option isn't for you, it might even offer free sample chapters that might just suit your needs.
hoep it helps.

Virtual Windows Clients for testing

Rather than having a bunch of local virtual Windows clients (Windows 7, Windows 7 64 bit, Windows 8, Windows 8.1) set up with different Office version for testing our own applications, I'd like to have them on Azure. Only for testing code with our development
partners.
So far I can not find any such offering on the Azure portal.
This Q&A seems to suggest that is not allowed.
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/licensing-faq/
Can
customers rent Windows Client desktops on Azure or other Service providers?
No, multi-tenant hosting is restricted in the Product Use Rights of Windows Client, such as Windows 7 or Windows 8. Windows Client Desktops are not available on either Azure or on any other Service Provider such as Amazon or Rackspace.
You can read more about the Microsoft Product Use Rights here.
Can
customers run Microsoft Office and Windows 7 Client on Virtual Machines using License Mobility for Software Assurance?
No. Under the Microsoft Product use Rights (PUR), Office and Windows 7 are not licensed to run on Virtual Machines. In particular, Microsoft Office is classified in the PUR as “Desktop Applications”, which is not included in Licensing
Mobility.
Amazon Workspaces?
Seems to be what I want, although only Windows 7 and Office 2010/2013. I also need Visio as our product is an add in to Visio. http://aws.amazon.com/workspaces/
Is this available on Azure and what are my options to get a simple cloud hosted virtual machine with Windows for testing?
Thanks!

Unable to narrow the minimized window view for Thunderbird

Until a few weeks ago I could minimize the Thunderbird window to fill only half my screen left to right. Now, it will only minimize to about 2/3 of my screen. When I drag the edge to a narrower position it goes only so far and stops. I don't know why all of a sudden this change occurred. Is there a way to make the minimized Thunderbird window narrower? I'm using Windows 7 Professional Version and Thunderbird version 24.4.

sfhowes, I followed your suggestion above but it didn't help. I did disable my only add-on (Lightening 2.6.4 integrated calendar) and restarted Thunderbird and that seems to have solved the problem. I hadn't connected the fact I added Lightening a few weeks ago to the sudden inability to narrow the window problem. Perhaps future versions of Lightening can correct this problem. Thanks for your help.

DNS caching problem when configuring Windows clients for SCAN

I have a Windows 2008 R2 server running apps that connect to a RAC cluster database using the SCAN address. The SCAN address however always returns the same IP when you ping it from that server. If I flush the DNS cache I get a different address, but again the same one all the time. I believe this is caused by the fact that DNS caching is enabled on Windows by default. This has caused problems when one of the RAC nodes goes south and the cached SCAN IP is not responding. The applications lose their connections, try to reconnect, but can't because they keep using the same dead SCAN IP.
I suggested we disable the DNS Client service on those machines so that the SCAN name correctly cycles through the addresses but the Windows admin says not to do this. Is there a documented practice somewhere that this is OK to do for Windows RAC clients? Or is there a way to disable caching just on the SCAN name but leave it enabled from every other host name?
TIA

What happened was the SCAN VIP did not fail over. The node VIP did not fail over. The database instance was running but I could not connect to it even locally as sysdba. I got the message "protocol adapter error". This normally only occurs on Windows for local connections when either (a) the Oracle service is not running, or (b) you didn't set the ORACLE_SID variable correctly. Neither was true.
I tried "crsctl stop crs" but it could not stop the listeners.
I rebooted the server. During the reboot, neither the VIP no SCAN VIPs failed over. It's almost as if CRS either didnt recognize tat the other node had been shutdown, or it didn't care.
I have never seen this happen before.
For the record this is Oracle RAC 11.2.0.1.

Are there any workable Windows clients for messages server?

I've just tried Jitsi which looked promising but won't connect.
Video chat required: any suggestions welcome!

Hi,
Many thanks for the reply but there's no mention of video on the Web site and according to WikiPedia video is not available on Windows:

I'll keep looking!

Automated install of windows drivers for C200 M2

Hi,
I'm hoping to find a way to easily update all my drivers on my C200 once W2KR2 is installed. We automate all our installs and would be great to find a command line way of installing all the drivers, instead of using the GUI.
Thanks for your help

Hello Eric,
I sure there is a vast number of internal Sun/Oracle resources (e.g. InfoDocs in the Sun System Handbook, a database with the support calls and solutions, etc.). The error code from the blue screen can be used to search the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
If you have found a solution, can you post how you solved the issue ?

Official RDP client for all major platforms and certificate issue only on windows

We have been fully embracing RDS and remote apps(working great internally). On the four major platforms OSX iOS Android and Windows we are using the official Microsoft application to connect to "Remote Resources" through VPN. Every platform besides
windows just popped up a certificate error you could accept. The windows client from the windows store was a miserable experience by going to the webpage and installing the certificate into the Trusted Root Certification Authorities. Something no end user
will be able to achieve.
Why is the windows experience worse then the other 3 platforms. I am by no means certificate expert. Is this where we purchase an offical certificate and not have this issue? Still doesn't explain the lack of user friendliness on windows compared to the
other OS'es

Hi,
I understand what you mean. One thing to keep in mind is that making it as easy as it is on the non-windows clients for end users to simply choose to trust the certificate and proceed is a security risk. If the end users would contact their admin
via phone and verify that the thumbprint shown matches the cert thumbprint on the server then it would be okay, but people generally will not do that.

NFSv4.0 client for Windows servers?

Does anyone know if there is an NFSv4.0 client that I can install on my Windows servers (2008 and 2012) to access a file system that supports the NFSv4.0 protocol?
I tried the native Windows "Client for NFS" but it appears to be using NFSv3 (client uses v3 MOUNT commands). I also tried a client from UMichigan, but it only supports v4.1 (separate protocol).
Would really appreciate your help!

Hi,
On Windows Server 2008, you can use Services for NFS with UNIX computers which are running NFS client or server software which complies with version 2 or version 3 of the NFS protocol. On Windows Server 2012, you can use NFS Version 4.1 Protocol Specification.
For more detailed information, you could refer to the articles below:

Problems installing instant client and ODBC

I am trying to install the instant client and ODBC drivers on an XP machine so I can connect to an OracleXE database via ODBC for an application to use.
I have unzipped the instant client and ODBC drivers to c:\Oracle and added an entry to the PATH statement.
When I attempt to add an ODBC connection I get the error "The Oracle client and network components were not found. The components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle version 7.3 or greater client software installation. You will be unable to use this driver until these components have been installed"
Am I missing something in the configuration?
All help appreciated.

did you set your ORACLE_HOME=c:\ORACLE and run the odbc_install.exe?

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

          hope this helps
