Instant Client 10.1.0.3 available for most platforms

Instant Client 10.1.0.3 is available for many platforms. Click through to specific platforms on the Instant Client website to see availability. We will try to release the rest of the platforms over the next few weeks, but may be delayed due to holidays in the US.
A notable change in 10.1.0.3 is the availability of the SDK package. These are the header files needed for compiling applications with the Instant Client only (in lieu of using an full Oracle client). There is a demonstration makefile in the package.
Documentation will be released shortly. However, if you are already familiar with developing with Oracle, you should not have any problems.
Another change is the unzipped directory of the packages that includes a X.Y version (10.1.0.3 is in instantclient10_1). This is purely a sanity check to make sure that your unzipped versions will overwrite a patchset of the same major release (the usual intention), but not of a different major release (such as a 10.2.0.1). We hope this helps everyone.
Good luck! Hope everyone enjoys!

The new instant client looks promising on SuSE 9.2.
You need to rework some things, though.
1. setup the dynamic linker:
- add a line "/usr/lib/oracle/10.1.0.2/client/lib" to the file /etc/ld.so.conf
- then run ldconfig
2. create or copy a tnsnames.ora file:
- cd /usr/lib/oracle/10.1.0.2
- md -p network/admin
- copy a tnsnames.ora from somewhere to network/admin/tnsnames.ora
3. add some environment: edit /etc/boot.local
- add a line: export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/10.1.0.2
- add a line: export TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
- add a line: ORACLE_SID=(some TNS name)
4. add another link for convinience
- cd /usr/lib/oracle/10.1.0.2
- ln -s client/lib .
in order to have the so-files also at $ORACLE_HOME/lib which is rather often used in Java-Parameters "-Djava.library.path", for example in JBoss run.sh Scripts.

I have Firefox 5.0.1, and a theme I want to download says that it works with Firefox 4.0b9pre - 7.0a1, but at the top it says that it is not available for my platform. What do I do?

I just downloaded Firefox 5.0.1, and one of the themes I want to download and try out says that it works with Firefox 4.0b9pre - 7.0a1. At the top, though, it says that the theme is not available for my platform. It has happened with some other themes as well, but I didn't check what versions they work with. I don't know what this means or what to do about it. The theme is at this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/z/en-US/firefox/addon/bloomind-ft-deepdark-2/

It says:
<blockquote>"Bloomind FT DeepDark 2" is a theme that has been created to transform the look of Firefox 4 for Windows users. It has been specially designed for Seven, but rendering is relatively accurate on XP and Linux (I can t test it on MAC, but for those who would like to try it anyway on that platform, you can force download and install it).</blockquote>
So try to save that file via the right-click context menu.

When will FaceTime be available for other Platforms?

When will FaceTime be available for other Platforms? Steve Jobs, the CEO of the company at the time, said Apple was working on making FaceTime an Open standard.
With already so many FaceTime enabled devices out there, and with so many financially strapped individuals relying on the cheaper android devices for both their phone and there Internet, opening up FaceTime to all other platforms will make facetime the default videoconference utility. I want to see this implemented for medical calls to nurses and providers in helping them to assess patients from a distance that are unable to travel. Visual/live communication would be a breakthrough.
This can already be implemented with patients who have a iOS devices, or trying to get them to download app that other devices can use....but it is not as seamless as FaceTime. When will this promis be fulfilled?

There are no other options for using FaceTime. GG was referring to other services with a similar functionality such as Skype. Again, none of us here knows what Apple has planned for FaceTime nor when, or indeed if, they will ever open up FaceTime to other developers.
Regards.

Download old Instant Client Version 10.1.0.4 for Linux

Hi to all,
the downloads for version 10.1.0.4 of Oracle Instant Client
for linux seem to be not available anymore.
Where can I download the packages:
instantclient-basic-linux32-10.1.0.4-20050525.zip and
instantclient-sdk-linux32-10.1.0.4-20050525.zip ?
Thanks

for OWB metadata, run this following script
<OWB_HOME>/owb/reposasst/upg/upg10gTo10104.sql
For runtime data
<OWB_HOME>/owb/bin/unix/RT_upgrade_to_10_1
This is only if it's NOT upgrading to 10gR2 database
If you are upgrading to Oracle10g Release 2 with partial export and
import and if you are changing the database instance or the computer
hosting the database, then run the migration script:
For UNIX, navigate to OWB_HOME/owb/bin/unix and run
RT_migrate_to_10_1.sh.
The RT_migrate_to_10_1.sh prompts you for several parameters:
the User Name and Password of your original Runtime Repository
schema, the database connection string for your original Runtime
Repository (in the form of host:port:servicename), the User Name
and Password for your new Runtime Repository schema (whose values
should match the original Runtime Repository), and the database
connection string for the new Runtime Repository (also in the form of
host:port:servicename). Additionally, as it runs, the script prompts
you for SYS User Names and Passwords for the Oracle Database
instances for any Target Schemas and Oracle Workflows being upgraded.

Instant client 11.1.0.7.0 for win32

I've been told by the folks on metalink that the new version of instant client for windows (which I hope has support for Pro*C apps) is due for imminent release but they can't be date specific, as the OTN and support are two entirely different functions (don't they talk to one another?)
Does anyone here know when it'll be available for download?

user10858876 wrote:
When will there be updated packages for Solaris on x86/x64 systems,

Due to Oracle's redicoulus NDA for new release versions no one within Oracle seems to be able to tell us, which as a customer we find unresonable. We were told last year, about this time that we should expect a 11gR1 release around Oracleworld. That came and went. Again we asked, and were told that it "might" be comming out as a 11gR2 version.
Fine. We will renew our support agreement when we know you will support our platform.

In the Installation Document i found like
Minimum System Requirements:
This configuration is typically for 2 Oracle Data Profiling/Quality users and an overnight data

�� Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition with SP 1 (32 bit)ux Suse Version 9.2 Professional and above
so can I install ODI for unix in Solaris

Hi-
You can use below manual installation proceeds as follows :
Step 1. Download a setup for Windows and run it on a Windows machine.
Step 2. Once the setup is finished, FTP all the following files and folders from your Windows machine to you Sun Solaris server :
the entire 'bin' folder (excepting the '.bat' files) - ASCII transfer mode
the entire 'lib' folder - BINARY transfer mode
the entire 'drivers' folder - BINARY transfer mode
Step 3. Once you have transferred all the files, do not forget to configure the odiparams.sh file according to your environment. Also add the appropriate files, used by ODI to connect to your technologies, to the 'drivers' folder.
Does it helpful?
Thanks,

It is widely known that the IOS6 software is available for most Iphones from today, but for some reason this does not seem to be the case, why is this? and when is the new software available?

September 19th, Today, is widely communicated as being the day that the IOS6 Software for the Iphone 4s will be available to replace IOS5.1.1 BUT, I have been trying to update it all day and it still currently says the software is up to date on IOS5.1.1 ? what is going on, is it out today? if not when will it be available?
is anyone else having this issue?

Honestly, I have not even bothered to try to get it yet. I'll do it this coming weekend, when I can do it at my liesure (my iPhone is also my only phone, so I never leap into any update immediately - I like to let the dust settle a bit and see just how it goes - let others be my beta-testers, as it were).

Will Instant Client 10.2.0.1 be available for Solaris 32-bit (SPARC)?

The latest Instant Client release is currently not available for Solaris Sparc 32-bit.
Does anyone know when it will be available?
Thank you.

It is available now.

Instant Client 11 g R 2 for SunSolaris SPARC 64

I have a customer that would really like to know when will Instant Client 11g R2 will be available for SunSolaris SPARC 64, because so far it is only available for Linux.
For any piece of information, I will be immensely thankful.
Thank you and have a great day.

Hi Helios,
Thank you for your help.
What I notice is that Oracle Database 11gr2 release schedule for SPARC was on November 9, 2010. But when you download Instant Client and select the one for that specific platform (Sun Solaris Sparc), it is only available in 11.1, not 11.2.
Do you know who can be contacted about this?
Thank you!

When Instant Client for AIX 5L 32 and HP-UX PA-RISC 32 are released?

Does anyone know when Instant Client for AIX 5L 32 might be release?
and also, Instant Client for HP-UX PA-RISC 32 ?

There isn't much to check. This is the Instant Client and it was downloaded specifically for the 32-bit PA-RISC platform. The "documentation" simply says I should set the "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" environment variable to include the directory where I unzipped the files. It is obviously looking at the libraries when I load my application, otherwise I would get a different type of error message along the lines of "missing Oracle client". FYI, This is not one of the newer 8x00 chips which support 64-bit addressing, but that is the point of the 32-bit option. I assumed this was compiled for my platform (which more specifically is an HP PA-RISC 7300LC 160MHz processor with 768MB RAM). I know this isn't the most modern box, but I would like to have a simple lab environment for my ERP application and save the hassle and additional expense of aquiring a 64-bit compatible workstation. I figure what I have works well with my application, and there is no 9i 32-bit client...so why not try the 10g Instant Client which should be backwards compatible with my database. BTW, the database is not running on this box, it's on a remote server which does support 64-bit and happens to be running Oracle 9.2.0.4.

ORACLE 10 INSTANT CLIENT:The procedure entry point OCILobRead2 could not...

The procedure entry point OCILobRead2 could not be located in the dinamic link library OCI.dll
Is there anyone who can help me to solve this kind of problem?
Thanks in advance.

The solution is that you need to have Oracle 10g client side libraries
installed (or you have to recompile PHP yourself). The oci8 extension
has some version dependent code and the person who builds Windows PHP
builds it with the latest version of Oracle. I was discussing the
impact of this just this week.
Luckily Oracle Instant Client can be downloaded and used for free from

Solaris PHP 5.2.12 Oracle Instant Client Error

We are testing a Oracle Solaris Express 11 Server with the standard Apache and PHP installation. But we need the Oracle Instant client and the oci8 module enabled for our company applications.
We did this by using ./pecl install oci8 in /usr/php/5.2/bin. We set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in /etc/apache2/2.2/envvars
a 32bits solaris (x86) version of the Oracle Instant Client 11.2 is installed in /opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2 with the symbolic link made.
envvars:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2
ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2
ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2
he oci8 module installed and php loads it.
phpinfo(); output:
oci8
OCI8 Support enabled
Version 1.4.6
Revision $Revision: 313688 $
Active Persistent Connections 0
Active Connections 0
Oracle Run-time Client Library Version 11.2.0.2.0
Oracle Instant Client Version 11.2
Temporary Lob support enabled
When we first view a site there is no problem but very randomly we get the following error:
OCIEnvNlsCreate() failed. There is something wrong with your system - please check that LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes the directory with Oracle Instant Client libraries*
but when we use echo getenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH"); in php the output is "/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2"
now the strange this is as randomly as it appears it disappears we can load the web-page without problems and after a couple of clicks the error is back. if we wait a coupe of seconds you can reload the page and it loads normaly.
The error appears to be random and we get it over and over agian, it comes and goes after a cpl of pages are viewed. It seems to appear more when there are multiple users browsing on the website.
Is there a fix for this? is this an known bug? It seems strange the instant client works some times and fails a second later without a change in the system.
Hope someone can help us.

Solved it by compiling apache 2.2.20 into 64bits using:
CFLAGS="-m64" CXXFLAGS="-m64" LDFLAGS="-m64" ./configure enable-so enable-cgi enable-info enable-rewrite enable-deflate enable-ssl
and compiling php 5.3.8 into 64bits:
CFLAGS="-m64" CXXFLAGS="-m64" LDFLAGS="-m64" ./configure with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs with-gd with-zlib disable-ipv6 with-jpeg-dir=/usr/ with-png-dir=/usr/ with-freetype-dir=/usr/ with-pear with-openssl with-oci8=instantclient,/opt/oracle/instantclient_10_2
and using the 10.2.0.4 instant client.
there might be a bug in the 11.x ones, they dont seem to work on Oracle Solaris 11.

Instant client installation unavailable in ODBC data sources

I'm trying to install instant client to enable MS Excel to access an Oracle database. OS is Windows 7.
After installing instant client plus the odbc package, I can't see a new entry in the odbc data sources - only the standard Microsoft sources (Excel, Access, SQL Server) show up.
There's also an Oracle SQL developer installation on my computer. Connection to the database works fine in SQL developer - so the DB does exist and it is accessible.
Steps conducted during instant client installation:
- Downloaded basic lite instant client (11.2.0.3.0) for windows.x64
- Downloaded odbc package for windows.x64
- unpacked zip file to instantclient directory
- executed the odbc_install.exe in the instantclient directory. I'm not sure if this install.exe does anything at all. There was no error message but also no confirmation or reaction of any kind.
- executing the install file from the cmd window gave me a message, that the odbc drivers were already installed. So I guess odbc_install.exe was executed properly
- setting some system variables
     1) path variable: added instantclient directory to the ones already listed in path
     2) tns_admin: new entry, pointing to instantclient directory
     3) ld_library_path: new entry, pointing to instantclient directory
- wrote an tnsnames.ora file using the connect information also used in SQL developer
- saved tnsnames.ora file in instantclient directory
- rebooted computer to activate changes
When opening the odbc data source administration, I'm only able to see Microsoft drivers for Access, Excel, SQL Server. I'd expect to get an Oracle driver option to add to the installed drivers.
Wild & uneducated guesses about what might cause the problem:
- IC is installed on E: drive. Maybe some component is expected to be saved on C: (low likelihood, many others would have complained by now)
- Win 7 often asks for explicit permission to do this or that via popup windows. Maybe the odbc-component encounters such a request ans says "Ummm....???"
Any idea, what I might try to get an oracle entry in the odbc data source list?
Best regards
Peter

I'm not sure to be honest, but what I downloaded did not have a setup.exe.
Does what you're talking about allow you to connect to Oracle databases via ODBC? If so, is it downloadble from the Oracle site?

Unix ODBC and Oracle Instant Client

When I dowloaded Oracle 11 Instant client the the zip file does not contain the libsqlora.so.11.1 file. the odbc_update_ini file contains reference to it. I am trying to configure ODBC on HP UX Pa Risc to use the Instant Client. I have downloaded the UnixODBC driver manager from UnixODBC.org. But I can't seem to figure out how to hook up Oracle 11 Instant Client. Everything I have searched for indicates that libsqlora.so.11.1 is required for the driver manager to work. Who develops this, is it Oracle, is it UnixODBC.org? Do I need to use an older version of Oracle Instanct Client?
Thank you in advance for any help.

is it "libsq.." or "libsql.."? Did you check odbc.zip? "libsqora.so.11.1" suppose to be part of odbc.zip. From which location you have downloaded? because in my install location I can see that "libsqora.so.11.1" is part of odbc.zip file and same has been referred by odbc_update_ini file. Download fresh tar(odbc.zip) and recheck!
