Instant Client Connection Problem - Excel 2007 to Oracle 10g

Dear users,
I would some help to connect Excel to Oracle.
I am using Excel 2007 (32-bit) on Windows Vista Enterprise 64-bit. I want to connect to an Oracle 10g database through our local network using ODBC. I need to fetch some data once into an excel sheet.
There are no firewall issues or connection issues between my current machine , as I can connect from my machine, using SQL developer as a local client to the Oracle Database which is on another machine on the network.
I tried to make an ODBC connection but Oracle is not listed as a driver.
I beleive ODBC is the best way to do this, but please correct me if I am wrong.
It is an Oracle 10G database.
I downloaded instantclient-basiclite-windows.x64-11.2.0.2.0.zip a
I also downloaded the extra ODBC components: *Instant Client Package - ODBC: Additional libraries for enabling ODBC applications.
I unzipped both in a folder called C:\instantclient_11_2
The system path included that. I checked after rebooting.
I placed my tnsnames.ora (which I copied from the server) in that folder.
I got ti from the server : D:\Oracle\Ora10gR2DB\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
I ran the exe "odbc_install" and It told me the ODBC was intalled successfully.
When I went the control panel, administrative tools, ODBC
In the user dsn tab
I added a new entry. I chose the Oracle driver (previously it was not in the list)
Used the following values
Data Source name: OracleL
Description 123
TNS Service NAme: I chose fro ma drop down menu our prod environment. (There are two entries with the production name, one in caps and the other in lowercase)
Userid: my username
I tried Test the connection and got this:
Unable to Connect
SQlState=S1000
[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
Any suggestions please.
Thnaks in advance.
A.
Thanks for all your help, in advance.

You probably should remove current ic packages and get the 32-bit ones instead.
Start over.

A client connection problem....

Hi All,
I have a client connection problem.
The project which i did with C# (vs.net 2005) and Oracle XE , works well on my developer machine but i am getting a connection string error on the client side. The error comes from System.Exception class not from OracleException.
The properties of the Oracle.DataAccess reference are ;
Description: Oracle.DataAccess.dll
Runtime Version:v1.0.3705
Version: 10.2.0.100
Path: C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\bin\Oracle.DataAccess.dll
The sample code is:
using Oracle.DataAccess.Client;
using Oracle.DataAccess.Types;
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
OracleConnection cnn = new OracleConnection();
OracleCommand cmm = new OracleCommand();
try
cnn.ConnectionString = "USER ID=" + textEdit1.Text + ";PASSWORD=" + textEdit2.Text +
";DATA SOURCE=" + textEdit3.Text + ";";
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
cmm.Connection = cnn;
cmm.Connection.Open();
cmm.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmm.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM FORMS";
OracleDataAdapter ad = new OracleDataAdapter(cmm);
ad.Fill(ds);
gridControl1.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];
cmm.Connection.Close();
cnn.Dispose();
catch (OracleException oexx)
MessageBox.Show(oexx.Message,"From OracleException");
cmm.Connection.Close();
cnn.Dispose();
catch (Exception exx)
MessageBox.Show(exx.Message,"Fromn Exception");
cmm.Connection.Close();
cnn.Dispose();
And the error message is:
'user ıd' is an invalid connection string attribute --> Oracle.DataAccess
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Adam

1. What is the client machine locale? Is it Turkish by any chance?
2. Try using lowe case "user id" in the connection string instead of upper case "USER ID".

If this does not work, then Oracle HSO will also not work.
Once you have confirmed that this is working, then configure the HSO service for Oracle.
If that fails, enables ODBC client tracing for that HSO service (in the init file for that service) to see exactly what ODBC calls Oracle is making and which of these are failing.

Instant Client Installation problems

I am trying to install the 10g Instant Client to connect to our Oracle database via ODBC in Windows. I have downloaded the Instant Client Basic and the ODBC packages and put them into one folder on my hdd, ran the odbc_install.bat and added the folder to my PATH Environment variable. But when I try to create a new ODBC data source, the TNS Service Names don't make any sense and look like characters not readily found on my keyboard!
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a walk through instruction manual available somewhere?
Please help!!
Many thanks

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?

2504 controller + 2602 APs = wireless clients connectivity problems

Hello, everybody!
I have a connectivity problems of wireless clients. The symptoms are:
1) Some clients receive 169.254.x.x., instead a correct DHCP addresses, less in a minute connection drops, and in controller's "Monitor" > "Clients" tab these clients are marked as "Excluded".
2) Most of the clients receive the correct addresses from DHCP (192.168.2.x), but also loose connection soon.
3) Wireless clients with correct addresses can't ping each other, gateway and an address of the controller's dynamic interface (all of them are in same subnet).
4) And the most suspicious problem is that some machines are unable to connect to APs after several attemps to do that. I mean, I configure controller and change some options, trying to understand, whether they were applied or not and constantly connect and disconnet certain PC to the SSID. After five or ten attempts I can't connect to the SSID. During these attempts, the others PCs stay connected, without interruptions, and they could be reconnected again. It's like some kind of port security works, but I'm not sure...
Do you have any ideas which options should I configure?
My configuration:
I have three interfaces on the controller: virtual, management (default) and dynamic (it is set to the WLAN)
I have one SSID, WPA/WPA2, AES/TKIP, authentication PSK.
My clients are a/b/g/n, all are permitted on the controller. No custom security policies were applied.
All the devices are in a single room: controller, one AP and different clients: desktop, notebooks, iPad, Nokia Lumia, etc.
I have an internal DHCP Server on the controller and it works perfectly well.
I can provide all the screenshots required from web-interface of the controller...
Many thanks in advance for all ideas that you have about these problems...

Hi, there!
The problem was solved.
1) APIPA address receives only single machine with Win8 - I think there are some firewall issues
2) Other devices have been loosing connection because they were mobile devices, like iPad and Lumia. If you keep working with it, it doesn't drop the connection
3) The dynamic interface address and gateway address were inaccessible because i had not used an appropriate port on the controller. =)))) Firstly, it was just a guess, but it proved.
Now, everything works with WPA2, AES, PSK...
It is a very good day!)
The only question remains: why I can't connect machines, which have a static IP? During the controller initialization, I said "yes" for permitting static IPs...
Guys, many thanks for your help!

Problem in em in Oracle 10g (10.2.0.3.0)

Hello all,
I m facing the following problem in oracle 10g (10.2.0.3.0). When I log on to em, database instance is shown inactive(status down). However, checking the local services I realised that instance is up and running. How could i correct that problem so that database status on em web console is shown correctly???
please your help

If not on Windows, we have AIX servers overhere and also see a lot of times databases being inaccessible from OEM.
This is because of a bug in the Agent using a certain perl version, which causes the agent to be inresponsive.
Check following:
sqlplus system/<password>@SID
This check ensures that you mistake the start of a SQLplus connection as SYS to be that the database is running.
If the above statement connects your database and Listener are up and running.
Preferably do this check from the server running the OEM.
If that connection works, bounce the OEM services ( and database ), just to see if it has started correctly.
Also restart the Oracle Agent on the target server.
If these checks still show the database as being down ( wait a couple of minutes after the restart to let the agents communicate statuses ) then report back.

To answer my own question, I'd say it's necessary to install the tarball, NOT the Debian files, for the Enterprise edition (perhaps to Standard is enough?).
After installation at (for example) /usr/local/oracle, the "proc" precompiler should be at /usr/local/oracle/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin
The env.variable ORACLE_HOME should be set,
export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/local/oracle/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1

Urgent: problem running reports in Oracle 10g application server

Hi all,
our problem is that we deployed a jsp report as Ear file in Oracle 10g application server in infrastructure node.deployment says successfull.when we try to run that report it says 401 unauthorised.while sending request we are passing the database username,password &sid is this correct or any configuration setting to be done to make it run.
one morething normal jsp works fine.when we run reports jsp it gives the above mentioned 401 error.

hello,
when you deploy reports JSPs they still require the reports specific componentes (e.g. TLD file, classes, ...) etc be available. i doubt that's the case in your ear file.
thanks,

No suitable driver when connect MS SQL server from Oracle 10g using JTDS

Hi,
I have developed a java servlet application connection to MS SQL using jtds-1.2.jar. I have try to deploy this application to Oracle 9ias and it works fine.
However, when I deploy the same application to Oracle 10g (10.1.2.0.2), I encounter this error - java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver.
I have copy the jtds-1.2.jar to Ora10g/jdbc/lib, Ora10g/j2ee/home/lib and also the Ora10g/j233/OC$J_GENERAL/applications/sampleApp/sampleApp/WEB-INF/lib folder, and also setup the data source via the EM interface. The data-source.xml entry is as follows:
<data-source location="jdbc/ess" class="com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource" xa-location="jdbc/xa/essS" ejb-location="jdbc/ess" connection-driver="net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver" username="scott" url="jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://202.xx.xx.xx:1433/sampleDB" inactivity-timeout="30" name="ess"/>
</data-sources>
Is there any configuration that I've forgotten to set?

Which I believe from what you have entered is:
Ora10g/j2ee/OC4J_GENERAL/applib
There's a general JDBC 3rd party driver set of documentation here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_11/web.1012/b14012/datasrc.htm#sthref592
This is not using jtds-1.2.jar but it shows how another set of 3rd party jdbc libs are used with the server.

But I don't fix the problem.
Someone has some idea of like solving this bug or problem?
Thanks in Advance.

Error is on small caps but it is straight forward:
".. error: invalid compressed data to inflate ..."
Your oracle media is corrupt. Redownload it and verify the downloaded zip file.
