Instant Client - Windows 8 Developer Preview

Dear
I have 2 Applications (our product) installed on Windows 8 Developer Preview.
The first runs like a charm
The second (It is the same application) raises the following error:
ORA-12560:TNS:protocol adapter error
Thanks for reply
Cheers
Martin

Unfortunately the informations given are so generic as the error message itself. So only a generic answer is possible:
ORA-12560 is a common error on Windows when a LOCAL connection (no connection through a listener) is used,
1) ORACLE_SID is not set or not set correctly
2) the corresponding database service is not started
Of course since you run in an unsupported environment, other reasons are also possible.

  • MacBook 7,1 CS4206a audio driver crashes on Windows 8 Developer Preview

    I'm experiencing crash on about every 20minutes on Windows 8 Developer Preview.(MacBook 7,1 late 2010 model)(BootCamp 4.0.0 installed)
    It seems that Built-In audio driver is the one that causes the problem.
    I disabled CS4206a driver in Driver Manager to prevent that.
    But I really want my sounds back.
    I've also tried CS4207driver from Cirrus Logic, and a old driver.
    but none seems to be helping.
    Any advice??

    Thank you all for the replies. Unfortunatly, I found that audio driver is not the problem.
    After disablling, removing the audio driver from the system32/drivers, the time til to get crash has indeed EXTENDED, but it still crashes..
    misalaram, thank you for the idea. Formatted windows 8 and installed JUST the graphics card driver directly from the nvidia. Still crashes..
    I think it is sort of like kernel panic. Which microsoft has said that they implemented multi-tasking capable kernel. I think somthing is unstable..

  • How to use trackpad gestures with Windows 8 Developer Preview?

    I have installed a Windows 8 Developer Preview on my MacBook via BootCamp Assistant. I found that it isn't support the trackpad gestures! (ex: two-fingers tap to right-click)
    So how can I use the trackpad gestures with Windows 8?
    Thank you for all reply.

    The BootCamp drivers that you can download and burn to a disc via the Boot Camp application in Mac OS can be installed in Windows 8 (run setup.exe from the disc while in Windows 8, preferably by right-clicking and choosing "Run as Administrator") and will allow you to use all of the current features of the touchpad (including two finger clicking/tapping).  Once you have installed the drivers as described above, you can then click on the arrow in the System Tray and right-click on the black triangle that is for the BootCamp control panel. In those settings you can change how the touchpad responds to your taps, clicks, etc.

  • Instant client and SQL Developer

    Hello,
    I would like to know if I can use the Instant Client along with Ora SQL Developer or TOAD?
    Thank you.

    [url http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/overview/index.html]Oracle SQL Developer comes with client stuff built-in (java based), don't need Instant Client.
    About Toad, see toadworld.com. But, yes, Instant Client should do fine.

  • Windows 8 Developer Preview

    I installed the preview on to my Gateway LT2802u Netbook and for the most part it runs smoothly. However, I'm not a fan of the Metro Style interface that replaced the Start Menu, and there are a few visual changes that suck. Most notibly the integration of the ribbon style interface into the Windows Explorer component, it looks like an absolute mess to begin with. Also a majority of the options such as Device Manager or Control Panel are often difficult to navigate due to the hoops you have to jump through to find the shortcut. I also don't like IE9 opening up in a Metro Style app like interface when you clicked the icon. I have been reading a website called Win Supersite, and Paul Thurrot has had some great reads regarding this developer preview and found workarounds to restore some of the functionality that was nice in Windows 7.

  • ITunes On Windows 8 Developer Preview Help

    I Got this off of the Windows Developer Preview Forums
    Since this is a preview of the operatingsystem, iTunes may not work with the Windows Developer Preview.
    Try these steps, however when you start the sync don't have the deviceplugged in yet.
    1) Close iTunes
    2) Go to Services
    3) Stop "Apple Mobile Device" service
    4) Plug device in, wait for the 1 or 2 chimes
    5) Start "Apple Mobile Device"
    6) Open iTunes
    7) When Sync you might get an "Unable to receive data from syncservices", but it should sync.
    You might also check in the Apple iTunes forums to see if anyone has come upwith a suggestion.

  • Microsoft Band Functionality Issues and Windows Phone Developer Preview

    I just wanted to post this since I ran into this issue and after spending my evening dealing with it wanted to share what I learned. I picked up a Microsoft Band for myself and my wife. I'm running the developer preview on my Lumia 920 and have
    been for awhile now. The band has been working really well for me and I hadn't had any issues. My wife has a new Lumia 1520 and wasn't in the developer preview. Her band was fine for a couple of days but then stopped connecting to her phone. The Bluetooth
    wouldn't connect. I spent over an hour on the phone with Microsoft support which was pretty helpful (I do appreciate that it is US based support and not out in India). But during the troubleshooting I did with the support tech he mentioned that there are features
    that only work if you have the developer preview. Things such as Facebook and Twitter tiles on the Band only work with the latest version of WP 8.1 that you can get through the developer preview. However it also appears that the Band's other
    functions such as Cortana and Text/Email notifications work much better as well when you have the newer version of 8.1 with the Developer Preview. So I just wanted to put that out there, if you are having any issues with your Band sign up for the
    Developers Preview and update your phone and you should see improvements.
    Vincent Sprague

    Can anyone tell me why I have not mail option under Manage Tiles? I am running with the Develop Preview on a Lumia 1020. I am now running the developer preview update, I hope this fixes the issue but it seems it should just be an app issue smh.

  • Windows 8 Consumer Preview Downloads Now Available

    For those of you interested in getting an early handle on what Windows 8 has in store, Microsoft has made the much anticipated Consumer Preview version available today...  Note that this is free, "beta" level software, and WILL expire, so don't expect to just download and use it forever.  Ultimately they're going to charge $$$ for it.
    Main page:  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/consumer-preview
    ISO images available:  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/iso
    Windows 8 Server available to Technet subscribers:  https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/securedownloads/hh442904
    I'm in the process of downloading ISO images now, and will be setting up VMware virtual machines in which to test the various versions.  I will be interested to see how Photoshop works with it (it mostly worked with the Windows 8 Developer Preview version, with just a few glitches).
    Note that these downloads are all quite huge (multiple gigabytes).
    -Noel

    Generally speaking, Microsoft seems to be trying to bridge the "touch screen tablet" market with the "desktop computer" market, all in the name of opening up their own shiny new App Store.  I don't know whether they're going to pull it off, but Apple has become a world economic power with theirs.  It's almost scary to think what Microsoft will be able to do with theirs.  Sounds like opportunity knocking for Windows developers.
    The Windows 8 Metro Start screen, complete with its flat, styleless tiles, has replaced the Start Menu in Windows 8, and there's no Start button at all.  I give it a month at most before someone like Ivo Beltchev, who created the Windows 7 add-on "ClassicShell" package, creates software to restore a workalike to the Windows 7 menu.  I've tried the current version of ClassicShell already with the Windows 8 developer preview and it doesn't seem to run, though I haven't gone to the ClassicShell forums to see whether there's a workaround.
    But using the Win key to pop over to the Metro Start screen, which is the start menu replacement, all the functionality is still there, and there are some advantages.  For example, a number of known bugs in Windows Explorer have been fixed, and they've integrated ribbons into Explorer in a way that actually makes some sense.  So far everything I've tried to run has worked - I get the impression either compatibility was very high on their list, or they haven't done much to the "traditional" APIs.
    Oh, and they've integrated their own anti-malware solution, so there will be no more need for 3rd party packages.
    Interestingly to me, after half a day of testing and getting used to it (and having run the Windows 8 Developer Preview before that for months), the whole Windows 8 system so far feels lighter and more efficient that Windows 7.  There are fewer processes running, they seem to take up less memory, and just a lot of things seem more polished.
    I'm guessing there's just enough "gee whiz" here to make even people who are relatively happy with Windows 7 want to upgrade.

    These are the steps I followed.
    <snipped>I do not see a problem with these steps at all. It is correct. Step 7 is redundant (due to where you placed the tnsnames.ora file) - it's only really needed when you place the file in some other directory where +%ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin+ no longer applies.
    Note that the client itself, needs to load the InstantClient OCI DLL - and this DLL uses the environment settings and the rest to "do its thing".
    If the client loads some other Oracle client DLL, then the bets are off that InstantClient will be used, never mind will work.
    Only a single copy of a DLL can exist in memory. Thus if some other s/w is using some other OCI DLL, then that DLL is already loaded and will be re-used by all other client s/w. None will be able to use the InstantClient DLL itself.
    So make sure that no Oracle client driver is loaded at all. Then ensure that when client s/w requests to load the OCI DLL, it is loaded from the InstantClient directory.
    As far as I recall, the Win32 LoadLibrary() kernel call is made by the application - if the DLL is not yet in memory, the current directory (in the virtual machine for that Windows process) is used. If the DLL does not exist there, the %PATH% variable is used to find and load the DLL. The DLL usage counter is then set to 1. As more processes request the DLL, it is incremented. When a process terminates, the usage count is decremented. When it reaches 0, its unloaded from memory.
    Bottom line to all this is that only a single DLL module (irrespective of the number and versions of physical DLL files on disk) can reside in kernel space, and you need to make sure that the correct physical DLL file is loaded by the kernel.

  • Not able to connect VS Web Developer Express through instant client 10

    I just spent 10 hours attempting to connect Web Developer Express 2010 to an Oracle 10g database. In the end the solution was beyond simple, but with the existing threads there is a lot of talking around the problem. I’m posting this in case it might help someone else.
    Obtain the Oracle instant client software that will work for your database. You will only need the basic package.
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-100365.html
    Extract the contents to a temp location on your hard disk
    Create a directory for the application – it could be anything, but here is what I used
    C:\instantclient
    Copy the extracted files into the directory you just created.
    Right click on my computer and choose properties
    Under advanced and environment variables you will need to add the directory you created above to the system variables PATH. You will need to create a new system variable called TNS_ADMIN and put the same c:\instantclient path in it.
    Create the file tnsnames.ora under the c:\instantclient directory and put your customized entry in it. Below is an example.
    tnsnams.ora file contents
    <Alias for this tnsnames entry> =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <Your Oracle Server>)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = <Your database instance>)
    It’s a good idea to restart your system after this installation.
    In web developer express use the .NET Framework Data Provider for OLE DB.
    Here is the key piece of information!!
    Under server name you need to use the alias from the tnsnames.ora file entry. If you do not do this it will not pick up the SERVICE_NAME parm and will give you some goofy error like:
    ORA-12514: TNS:listener could not resolve SERVICE_NAME given in connect descriptor
    or
    ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
