Instant Client 11.1.6.0.20 and Microsoft Ole DB for Oracle

Will these 2 components work together?
I have latest IC installed on a test PC running legacy Microsoft Data Access Components 2.81 SP1 and VB6. I've removed the full Oracle Client and deleted all Oracle registry entries prior to installing the IC, yet I cannot seem to make these work together.
Any suggestions? thanks.

Did you check if Instant Client 11.x include support for OLE DB apps?
I remember it as not possible with any 10.x release, but at least according to the ODAC / Odp.net Downloads page for Win 32-bit (see the README for Xcopy version), it seems as if the Oracle Provider for OLE DB now can be deployed with Instant Client, using the latest 11.1 ODAC package.
The Microsoft OLE DB data provider for Oracle was designed around Oracle 7.x and supported for use with v7/8 of Oracle client/net libraries. The component was desupported quite some time ago by Microsoft and Oracle both. (reference needed - lookup in MDAC support notes and Oracle support for OCI 7 calls in current versions.)
Please do not use ancient software components - doing so will bring hell to potential users, trying to integrate and support such apps.

Dreamweaver 8 and Microsoft Office 2008 for mac

Hi everyone
Not sure if this is a Word or Dreamweaver problem.
I am running Dreamweaver 8 on a G-5 OSX-Tiger.
I just installed Microsoft Office Home and Student 2008
edition on my machine.
It install just fine, however when I need to paste a word
document into Dreamweaver it will not paste. If I go back to Word
2004 I can paste just fine.
Anyone have any suggestions.
Thanks so much

If you don't need it there is no reason to install it. Just depends really on what you will be doing if both would be good for you. Might want to wait on the second one untill you see if you need it or not.

Reconciliation and the Key Column for Oracle DB

I have a oracle DB with the key column called employee number (ie. 12345)
In the form for my reconciliation, I assigned the employee number to an extended attribute called employeeId as below. This field is defined in the User Extended Attributes object already.
<Field name='accounts[Lighthouse].employeeId'>
<Expansion>
<ref>global.identity</ref>
</Expansion>
</Field>
When I view a user in the debug page, I don't see the employeeId being populated. Do you know why?
Thanks

Yes, I'm able to populate other fields fine. Right now I just populated the 7 fields within IDM. The problem is the employee number is the key column in the schema and with ActiveSync, it works fine right now using ActiveSync.identity so I tried the same thing for reconciliation but it does not seem to work.
I could try to map the employee number in the schema but i want to try to figure out other ways first.

2008 R2 Server and Microsoft identity Management for Unix - Lost groups

I couldn't find a group that fit this one so I'm putting in the general group- If their is a better group please reply with it - Thx
We have 2 Windows 2008 R2 servers and 2 linux boxes running NIS/Kerberos. One of the Linux servers also runs a secondary NIS server for performance reasons. Unix Services syncs the account db in NIS format to it, the other server connects
and auth's directly off of the AD server. We have had this setup for over a year now and it's run with out problem. Today I ran the Microsoft Identity Management utility and lost NIS group on the Linux server that runs it's one NIS server.
On the Linux server that connects directly to the AD box the groups all appear with an id command from the command line. It looks like the Unix for Windows services app nolonger will sync to a Linux NIS server. I feel this is a bug due to
the fact that I recently update the two Windows 2008 R2 server to the latest patch releases a few days ago.
Does any one have a fix for this or could Microsoft look into it.

Need to know base table and base column name for Oracle view columns

I am trying to load metadata for some views and that requires me to know what the final table and column name would be corresponding to the view column.
For example, if I have a view x_v that is select a,b from x_v2; and x_v2 is a view that is select a,b,c from x;
I need to get the following information.
View View Col Base Table Base Col
X_V A X A
X_V B X B
and so on.
Is it possible to get this programmatically using any SYS schema tables or Dependency tables?
I tried an indirect approach wherein I lock tables using LOCK TABLE or FOR UPDATE OF. But I'm not too sure if I can go down to the level of individual view columns.
Can you help me with this?

Thanks. I was looking at some indirect approaches.
I came up with this script that does it faster than dependencies but thats just for tables and not column mapping.
declare
cursor bt(cp_sid number) is
select u.name uname, o.name oname
from sys.obj$ o, sys.user$ u
where o.obj# in (select id1
from v$lock
where sid=cp_sid)
and u.user# =o.owner#;
cursor c_sid is
select sid
from v$session
where audsid =userenv('sessionid');
l_sid number;
l_view varchar2(100):= 'PER_PEOPLE_V';
l_schema varchar2(10):= 'APPS';
begin
open c_sid;
fetch c_sid into l_sid;
close c_sid;
dbms_output.put_line('SID: '||l_sid);
execute immediate 'lock table '||l_schema||'.'||l_view||' in row share mode nowait';
for i in bt(l_sid) loop
dbms_output.put_line(i.uname||'.'||i.oname);
execute immediate 'alter table '||i.uname||'.'||i.oname||' disable table lock';
execute immediate 'alter table '||i.uname||'.'||i.oname||' enable table lock';
end loop;
end;
It basically uses locks on views to verify locks on the base tables.
Just wondering, can we use FOR UPDATE OF statements to get to the columns?

Managing and configuring log files for Oracle 9ias

Hi all,
I'm wondering where I can find documentation on managing and configuring log files like:
ORACLE_HOME/admin/ sid/*dump/* ORACLE_HOME/assistants/opca/install.log ORACLE_HOME/webcache/logs/*
ORACLE_HOME/dcm/logs/*
ORACLE_HOME/ldap/log/*
ORACLE_HOME/opmn/logs/*
ORACLE_HOME/sysman/log/*
ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/ OC4J_instance/log/*/* ORACLE_HOME/config/schemaload.log ORACLE_HOME/config/useinfratool.log
because I didn't find anything in document like:
Oracle9 i Application Server
Administrator�s Guide
Release 2 (9.0.2)
May 2002
Part No. A92171-02
So, if anyone has any idea...
Thanks in advance

Does anyone know how or if it is possible to send the stdout and/or stderr to the log4j type of logging? I already capture the stdout and stderr to the flat file. But I would like to timestamp every line to compare and diagnose problems with each application that encounters problems. Each web app is using log4j to their own application log4j log file. When they encounter errors or resource draining problems, I would like to see the container logs and see what was occuring inside the container at around that same time.
Any ideas?

Self-signed certificate and Microsoft Git Provider for Vistual Studio 2013

I am setting up an in-house Git server with a self-signed certificate for SSL.
How do I configure Visual Studio 2013 with Microsoft Git Provider to allow connections to projects with a self-signed certificate?
Visual Studio gives med the following error message:
"An error occurred. Detailed message: An error was raised by libgit2. Category = Net (Error).
An error occurred while sending the request."
When I use Fiddler to decode the SSL connection, everything works great.

Database connectivity problem with instant client.

Guys,
I've installed the Oracle instant client basic and ODBC files in my system.
But when I create a system DSN and test the connectivity my database connectivity,it fails with
ORA-12637:Packet receive failed error
My TNSNAMES reads below:
ONDSP101.DIGITALINDIASW.NET =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = namesrv1.xy.zz.com)(PORT = 1522))
(CONNECT_DATA =

(SERVICE_NAME = ONDSP101)
and my SQLNET as below:
AUTOMATIC_IPC = OFF
TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT = ON
SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT=20
NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN = na.pg.com
NAME.DEFAULT_ZONE = na.pg.com
SQLNET.CRYPTO_SEED = "kdg:9yv2$-plo*u6b2x!"
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH = (ONAMES,TNSNAMES)
NAMES.PREFERRED_SERVERS =

(Port = 1522)
(ADDRESS =
(COMMUNITY = TCP.xy.zz.com)
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(Host = namesrv2.xy.zz.com)
(Port = 1522)
I've placed my TNSNAMES and SQLNET file in the same folder having the instant client files and I've set my TNSADMIN,LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH environmental variable to the folder location.
Note:I'm able to connect to the database using SQLplus.
Thanks,
Bhagat

These days I very seldom use ODBC for Oracle - most recently it was simply to get Enterprise Architect to "talk" to Oracle. I never used it for my client applications (unlike in the fast distant past), so what I know about ODBC is seriously outdated.
Even so, a few comments. :-)
Have you tried creating a user DSN, in case a system DSN somehow works different environment wise?
The above error description sounds like the original TCP connection was successful (i.e. it is not a host unknown or not reachable error). Subsequent packets seem to fails.
To confirm, run the listener on namesrv1.xy.zz.com with logging enabled and have a look at the listener.log - does it show a connection being accepted/handled from your PC when you use the ODBC DSN?
Have you tried the Oracle ODBC drivers? When getting EA connected I had problems (also with Instant Client) and Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle. Downloaded and installed the Oracle ODBC driver and it worked just fine first time around.
PS. You should raise this topic on the Instant Client Forum instead.

Triying to intall oracle instant client

Hi Buddies;
I have to install oracle instant client in linux5 Red hat Enterprise.
I got to create the next:
Instant Client Package - Basic and Instant Client Package - SQL*Plus unzip it and make sqlplus runnable from anywhere ( set new PATH or copy to defined PATH) and test SQLPLUS sqlplus user/passwd@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(Host=IP or hostname)(Port=port))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=sid)))
Is the first time I doing this; So I proceed to download the following files:
instantclient-basic-linux32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip
oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.3-1.i386.rpm
I unzipped the firt one and now I got a new directory (instantclient_10_2) whi these files:
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 72480394 Nov 15 2006 libociei.so
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 67053 Nov 15 2006 genezi
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 5486009 Nov 15 2006 libnnz10.so
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 1398088 Nov 15 2006 libocci.so.10.1
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 18825267 Nov 15 2006 libclntsh.so.10.1

-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 120135 Nov 15 2006 libocijdbc10.so
My doubt is, which of them to execute?
And what I have to do with file oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.3-1.i386.rpm?
Besides, I don't see anything related with sqlplus, and I understand I need that.
May be this is something simple, but I not sure what to do.
Could somebody help me ?
Thanks and best Regards;

At first try to check the Instant Client download page again: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/linuxsoft.html
As you can see there are several categories of packages and description for these packages.
Instant Client Package - Basic: All files required to run OCI, OCCI, and JDBC-OCI applications
Instant Client Package - Basic Lite: Smaller version of the Basic, with only English error messages and Unicode, ASCII, and
Instant Client Package - JDBC Supplement: Additional support for XA, Internationalization, and RowSet operations under JDBC
Instant Client Package - SQL*Plus: Additional libraries and executable for running SQL*Plus with Instant Client
Instant Client Package - SDK: Additional header files and an example makefile for developing Oracle applications with Instant
Instant Client Package - ODBC: Additional libraries for enabling ODBC applications
Instant Client Package - WRC: Workload Replay Client used to replay workload for RAT's DB Replay Feature
You need to download those packages which are required for your application (for example).
Packages are provided in two versions. ZIP and RPM (for Redhat Package Manager).
You don't need to download both of versions. You can choose only one - ZIP or RPM, it depends on you.
Now you said, you need to use SQLPLUS.
1.So, you need to download these two packages (assume that you are running 32bit Linux):
instantclient-basic-linux32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip
instantclient-sqlplus-linux32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip2. Unzip these packages and you will see new directory named instantclient_10_2
3. Place this directory where you want (i.e to /opt directory)
mv instantclient_10_2 /opt/4. set the environment (still using /opt directory)
export PATH=/opt/instantclient_10_2:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/instantclient_10_2Note: To make this settings permanent put this commands to shell profile file (i.e.: For bash it is .bash_profile file) in user's directory or to /etc/profile file to make this settings global for any user.
5. Tnsnames file. By default TNS settings is searched in these directories and in order as follows:
/home/<current user>/.tnsnames.ora (Note the dot in .tnsnames.ora in this case)
/etc/tnsnames.ora
/<path to directory where the instant client directory is located>/instantclient_10_2/network/admin/tnsnames.ora (in our case it's the /opt directory)
Hope that helps.

Can't find example oci makefile with instant client

A couple of references indicate that Instant Client comes with an example make file. Where is it?
I've installed all the instant client rpm files, including the 'developer' file. But I can't find the example makefile. The 'developer' rpm file is described on the download web page as follows:
*Instant Client Package - SDK: Additional header files and an EXAMPLE MAKEFILE for developing Oracle applications with Instant Client
So far I can't find the example makefile. I see the header files and some shared library (.so) files but no example makefile.
Anybody know how to find the example makefile?
Anybody have any pointers on how to make OCI programs on an instant client system? My programs already run on another system. The other system has a full blown Oracle development environment instead of instant client.
I am trying to make the programs on a RedHat enterprise linux 4 system (actually a clone of RHEL4 called centos4).
thanks,
David

Never mind. Don't bother. I think I found it.
I forgot that it's not called "Makefile", "makefile", or anything that you might ordinarily think to look for. It's called demo.mk instead.

Odbc instant client configurtion on Intel core i7,Windows 7,64 bit system

Hi all,
I tried to install the odbc instant client on the above mentioned configuration following the instructions given in the instant client package after downloading from the link given below(Basic and odbc packages).
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html
But i cannot get this to work,i cannot find the microsoft odbc for oracle driver in the data sources in the system dsn tab.Did anyone come across such a scenario and make this work.It would be great if you can help find a way out of this.
Thanks!

You getting everything mixed up. First it's not the "odbc instant client", but the Oracle Instant Client. The Oracle Instant Client is not an ODBC driver but Oracle native drivers (OCI). Secondly the "microsoft odbc for oracle" driver is, as it's names implies, a Microsoft driver, not an Oracle driver so it's never going to be installed by the Oracle Instant Client. Finally you shouldn't need to use ODBC for Oracle. Use OCI to connect to Oracle databases.

10G Instant client and import command

Hi all,
Am using the 10G instant client and need to use the import command through this client but cannot find it anywhere. Does the 10G instant client provide this functionality or anyone know of a workaround for this.
All replies much appreciated,
Tom

Thats a pity. I thought I read someplace that you dont lose any client functionality by using the instant client as opposed to using the client cd install. Is it just that the instant client replicates the connection functionality of a normal 300mb client install?

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?

Instant client for SQLLDR

I see Oracle provides several instant client downloads. Is there a SQLLDR instant client, or a lite version that doesn't require the whole Oracle client for Linux (both 64 and 32 bit)?

yes - i am sure - things to consider:
the sqlldr needs to be from the same O/S (if obv, sorry)
you need to copy the contents of the rdbms/mesg/ folder so the status messages can be displayed.
make sure you've got a ln to bin and lib.
here is a typical instant client folder contents:
rdbms/mesg/ (directory)
network/admin/tnsnames.ora (directory & file)
lib     ->     ../instantclient_10_2
bin     ->     ../instantclient_10_2
install          (directory)
libclntsh.so.10.1
libociei.so
libnnz10.so
libocci.so.10.1
libclntsh.so.10.1
ojdbc14.jar
libocijdbc10.so
classes12.jar
sqlplus
libsqlplus.so
libsqlplusic.so
glogin.sql
sqlldr
hope this helps; let me know
also - i still have no exception or idea if Oracle Support will support this.

Php 5.1.2 doesn't seem to recognize the --with-oci8-instant-client option

I just tried configuring php 5.1.2 with the --with-oci8-instant-client option and could never get phpinfo() to show the oci8 section...
Finally went back and tried php 5.1.1 and it worked.
If anyone else could verify this behavior, maybe the PHP folks should be notified??

Discovered the issue:
the configure script changed the format of the config option
in php 5.1.1:
--with-oci8[=DIR] Include Oracle (OCI8) support using an ORACLE_HOME
install. The default DIR is ORACLE_HOME
--with-oci8-instant-client[=DIR]
Include Oracle (OCI8) support using
Oracle Instant Client. DIR is the directory with the
Instant Client libraries. On Linux it will default to
/usr/lib/oracle/<most_recent_version>/client/lib
Other platforms will need to have it explicitly specified
HOWEVER, in php 5.1.2:
--with-oci8[=DIR] Include Oracle (OCI8) support.
The default DIR is ORACLE_HOME.
Use --with-oci8=instantclient,/path/to/oic/lib
to use Oracle Instant Client installation
This explains why the --with-oci8-instant-client option is ignored. The new format is:
--with-oci8=instantclient,/path/to/libs
