ISQL Plus on release 9.2.0.4.0

Hello Alison et al,
we have the version 9.2.0.4.0 installed on our machines, (64 bit version) but we do not have installed iSQLPLus. (or so it seems). We need to download it, is it possible to have a separate installation to install the web based iSQL Plus?
Does this iSQL Plus use only port 7778 or is it configurable?
thanks for all and best regards,
Aaron Zammit

As I recall, there is nothing additional to install, but you may need to configure your HTTP server to enable this functionality. The port number is configurable.
See the "SQL*Plus User's Guide and Reference" for details.

    Thanks

    The form you use should work when your change
    "hr/your_secret_password" to a valid username, password
    and connect identifier like "hr/hr@MYDB". Don't forget to
    configure MYDB in your tnsnames.ora file on the machine that has
    the iSQL*Plus server.
    What was the error you got?
    The full URL syntax did seem to go missing from the 9.0.1 doc.
    See below for the full syntax. This should be appearing in a
    forthcoming FAQ.

    What syntax can I use to run an iSQL*Plus Dynamic Report?
    You can run a dynamic report by entering the report URI in the
    location field of your browser, or by making the report server a
    link or the action for an HTML form. The iSQL*Plus 9i Release 1
    documentation has examples of these.
    The general syntax for running a dynamic report is:
    {uri}?[userid=logon&]script=location[&param...]
    where uri
    Represents the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)
    of the iSQL*Plus Server, for example:
    http://host.domain/isqlplus
    where logon
    Represents the log in to the database to which you
    want to connect:
    {username[/password][@connect_identifier]}
    where location
    Represents the URI of the script you want to run.
    The syntax is:
    http://[host.domain/script_name]
    The host serving the script does not have to be
    the same as the machine running the iSQL*Plus server.
    where param
    Specifies the named parameters for the script you
    want to run.
    Named parameters consist of varname=value pairs.
    iSQL*Plus will define the variable varname to equal value prior
    to executing the script e.g.
    ...script=http://server/s1.sql&var1=hello&var2=world
    This is equivalent to the SQL*Plus commands:
    SQL> define var1=hello
    SQL> define var2=world
    SQL> @http://server/s1.sql
    iSQL*Plus, SQL*Plus and SQL keywords are reserved
    and must not be used as the variable names (varname). Note also,
    that since variables are delimited by the ampersand character,
    there is no requirement to enclose space delimited values with
    quotes. However, to embed the ampersand character itself in the
    value, it will be necessary to use quotes.
    For compatibility with older scripts using the &1
    variable syntax, varname may be replaced with the equivalent
    variable position as in:
    ...script=http://server/s1.sql&1=hello&2=world
    Note the & is the URL parameter separator and not
    related to the script's substitution variable syntax.
    Commands and script parameters may be given in any
    order in the dynamic report URI. However, please note that if any
    parameters begin with reserved keywords such as "script" or
    "userid" then it may be interpreted as a command rather than a
    literal parameter.

  • ISQL*Plus: Internal error (no valid library could be found)

    I install iSQL*PLUS on middle tier (9i AS 1.0.2.1) according to documentation, when I trying to connect I am getting Internal error (no valid library could be found). The TNSNAMES.ORA file is correct.
    Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

    My first suggestion is to use the HTTP listener on the RDBMS bundle. This is what iSQL*Plus 8.1.7 Beta was built for.
    The HTTP servers on the iAS and Database releases require mods to be compiled differently.

  • Where is iSQL*Plus distribution zip file for Oracle 8i (8.1.7)?

    I am running Oracle 8i (8.1.7) under Windows 2000. The iSQL*Plus Installation and Users Guide Release 8.1.7 Beta for Windows says the iSQL*Plus distribution zip file can be downloaded from the Oracle TechNet site (http://otn.oracle.com). I went there but could only fine iSQL*Plus for Oracle 9i. I even clicked on a link for the 8.1.7 version but ended up on a page with the 9i version. Can the 8.1.7 version still be downloaded? If so, what http address will get me to it?
    I want to run iSQL*Plus on my PC to see if I can access my oracle database from an iMAC (apple computer).
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    John,
    iSQL*Plus 8.1.7 beta was available only for a short time. That version was in beta testing and not intended for long term use. iSQL*Plus 9.0.1 (with Oracle9i release 9.0.1 for Windows) is more stable, and has more features. iSQL*Plus 9.2.0.1 (just released with Oracle9i release 9.2.0.1 on most platforms!) is even better. You might want to install a version of Oracle9i and use the new, production releases of iSQL*Plus.

  • ISQL*Plus script parsing problem with the + operator

    Hi,
    You have most likely caught this one already.

    and there is no error or warning in the relink.log.Does the log say that all files were linked/generated succeessfully?
    by the way, i found my X server was not set correctly.i have installed the X display during installations. is there anything relationed about this error?X-Server is required for concurrent processing, and I believe it has nothing to do with forms.

  • Why I am not able to login by ISQL*PLUS?

    Hello any one can help me?
    I installed RHEL.4 with my pentium 3 machine with 512mb of RAM. I installed with 4 partition /,/boot, /oracle and swap partition.Linux is running pretty fine. i installed Oracle 9i release 2 successfully without any error except agent get fail. Now i skiped the DBCA database creation and created manually using OMF.Now I am not able to connect my database by using ISQL*PLUS. can i get help? as well as how to login in iSQL*PLUS as sysdba? should i configure apache induvidually if yes how to do that?

    Make sure your Apache http server is up and running, this is the entry point to your isqlplus in 9iR2
    apachectl start
    Once started, get access to the regular url to your apache home page:
    http://hostname:ApachePort/isqlplus
    investigate which one is the port used by your http server, Oracle by default sets it to 7777. This can be found at the httpd.conf configuration file.
    On the other hand, in order for you to access as isqlplusdba, this should be enabled at the isqlplus.conf file found at the $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/conf directory, you will find both, sqlplus and isqlplus locations declared on the same file, the second one is commented. It is configured so you provide a password by means of the regular apache authentication mechanism, it's up to you if you wan to use it or just rely on the sysdba password to gain access to your database.

  • TNS error connecting to db using iSQL*Plus

    I am trying to use iSQL to access our database (Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0) for the first time.
    I have reviewed Note 185707.1.
    I start the HTTP Server on my client PC.
    I bring up my web browser (IE version 6).
    I enter in the URL http://<<host>>:7778/isqlplus.
    ISQL*Plus login page is displayed.
    I enter a valid user, password and connection identifier and receive the ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name Error.
    In the Note referenced above, there are instructions for configuring the iSQL*Plus Server, but I am not sure what that is (or where it is). It says to enter a new connection identifier in the tnsnames.ora file as follows:
    connection identifier = (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=www.oracle.com) (PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=orashop)))
    but I am confused as to how this would be different from my existing connection unless we are supposed to put this in literally then use connection string orashop (which seems unlikely).
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Tracy

    You have a couple of options.
    1. Leave the connection identifier empty to connect to the default database (just like in SQL*Plus command line).
    2. Confirm you can log into SQL*Plus command line using the same connection identifier.
    3. Confirm that your tnsnames.ora file contains the correct connection information for the database you are trying to connect to.
    The 'orashop' example is only an example.

  • The quality of iSQL PLus

    Just a quick question to all of you out there, using iSQL Plus: are you not disappointed in what Oracle have made? I mean, Oracle have been betting on the Java technology for 4 - 5 years, however, they have not used it to make a superior "platform-independent-run-anywhere" version of the classic SQL Plus tool. Does this not seem strange to you all that after all these years they release a "platform independent" version of SQL Plus that has LESS features than the original - and is far less user friendly (I never thought that possible until now)???
    Am I the only one who is amazed by this? I feel that Oracle should be making a new version of SQL PLus in Java - with all the "bells and whistles" that we have come to expect from a "Windows environment"
    What do you all think? I would like to know.
    regards,
    Unknown

    Hi Alison,
    I have "revealed" myself! I am the "Unknown" who posted the initial query. Thanks for your reply - very informative. I appreciate your point of view regarding speed issues, however, I do feel that you (read Oracle) have made the wrong decision in terms of which technology to use for rewriting SQL Plus.
    I guess the problem in the past for ORacle has always been to cater to the "lowest common denominator", as the Oracle RDBMS runs on ALL platforms. Therefore SQL Plus never could be a particulary "advanced" tool in terms of functionality and user-friendliness. But that's just the way it had to be.
    These days, there is Java which can (theoretically) run on all platforms (that support Java). Yes, Java does not run as fast as C++ etc. etc. - I don't want to get into that discussion - however, I have been working with HTML, Java and Oracle RDBMS for 4 - 5 years, and Java has really come of age in that time.
    Through my work and own personal experience, I have discovered a fact about websites (read HTML) that hasn't changed over the years - it is extremely limited in terms of functionality and user-friendliness. HTML is not - for me - an acceptable technology to write GUI's for applications/data entry systems nor RDBMS tools such as SQL Plus.
    So, given this to be true (I believe this to be so), then what other choices are there? Well, there's Flash and Director. Both very impressive technologies, however, they only can work on Windows and Macintosh. There is also Java, which is also a very impressive technology, albeit with its own set of limitiations. Nevertheless, Java has an advanced API for writing GUIs and it runs on Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac, and presumably other platforms.
    For me - Java is the logical choice of technology for rewriting SQL Plus. It gives you the ability to write "user friendly" Windows like applications, which will run on all platforms. Now, I am not saying that there wouldn't be issues/problems with Java; of course there are. Just like any other technology. You have to weigh up the pros and the cons before embarking on designing/developing an application. However, in this case, I feel the pros far outweigh the cons.
    Now, unlike alot of other system designers/developers, I actually "eat what I serve" - I use Sun's Forti (written entirely in Java) as my Java RAD tool, I use TogetherSofts "TogetherJ" as my design tool for Java (also written in Java), I use a Java based interface for the version control software we use here at work.... in fact, the one thing I am missing is a good Oracle tool written in Java. I currently use Quest's SQL Navigator, however, its quality is decreasing.
    Anyway, I am digressing! My point is simple - Java will enable you to write a highly functional RAD tool for Oracle to replace the prehistoric and particularly un-user friendly tool SQL Plus. YES - you are right - it most probably won't load as fast as a web page, but once it is loaded it will run quickly. I strongly suggest that the iSQL Plus team take a look at Sun's Forti (very impressive tool - no, the MOST impressive tool I have seen for Java) as well as Quest Software's SQL Navigator. I think the iSQL Plus team would get alot of good ideas and inspiration from them.
    There is, of course, another problem here - and that is datababe connectivity. Unfortunately, Oracle have been increasing the size of their JDBC drivers ever since day one, to the point that it is PROHIBITIVE to download them to an applet. I'm sure the JDBC team have a bazillion excuses for this, however, I am personally not buying it. For me, the exhorbitant size of the drivers is a sign of badly designed code. Regardless of my personal views, the size of the JDBC drivers mean that it is not feasible to write a SQL Plus applet which download the JDBC drivers. The only solution is to use CORBA and/or RMI.
    Okay! That's probably enough from me for now!!! Please don't take this as "Oracle bashing" - I have invested alot of time into Java and Oracle, and I am more than happy to be of some assistance, however small. You asked about what features I thought were missing - well, look at Forti and SQL Navigator. That will give you some idea of what I expect. But, to summarise, I consider the following features to be necessary:
    1. Code to be displayed in multi-colours (user definable). Such a simple thing, yet SO useful
    2. SQL results to be displayed in a tabular/grid-like format, with copy/paste functionality plus porting to text files.
    3. In-built stored procedure editor - like in SQL Nav. Very nice.
    4. Debug functionality
    5. Tuning module - for DB tuning
    6. Some kind of Tree Navigator window, which allows one to traverse all database objects (see SQL Nav)
    7. Ability to generate DDL scripts from current DB objects (see SQL Nav)
    8. Ability to define one's own shortcut keys (see Forti - very very sexy)
    Alison, please feel free to email me at [email protected] if you wish to discuss this futher and/or post a reply to this "disccussion"
    yours sincerely,

    Hi,
    I would appreciate a little more info regarding
    ISQL*Plus. Here is my Oracle config on a XP:
    SQL*Plus: Release 9.0.1.0.1
    Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.0.1.1.1 - Production
    With the Partitioning option
    JServer Release 9.0.1.1.1 - Production
    Do I have iSQL*Plus ? I look in my
    %ORACLE_HOME%/apache/apache/htdocs/ folder and
    I do not see an iplus folder.
    If I have the iSQL*Plus software what is the
    link/address to give my browser ? Does my browser
    require some new settings?
    Any document or web site you could refer me to
    would be greatly appreciated.

  • Problem with ISQL Plus

    Hi All,'
    here i am facing one problem with ISQL plus
    i am connecting ISQL plus from Oracle Enterprise manager(OEM) while connecting it throws an error
    "connection was refused when attempting to contact <servername>:5560"
    Please help me out

    After the port you are reporting on your thread, 5560, it looks like you are using a 10g release, however it is advisable to specify both, the os and db version at the start of your thread, isqlplus has had several architectural changes throughout the different oracle versions since it first appeared at 9iR1 going through 10gR2. There have been people who are even surprised to find out it is no longer installed with 11g and unnecessarily find a hard time trying to set it up.

  • ISQL*PLUS load script component

    Hi all,
    I am sorry if this is not the correct forum to post in..
    I would like to find out if anyone knows how to implement a text file loading mechanism from a jsp. It is similar to the iSQL*Plus script loading function:
    1) User connects to the server from client terminal.
    2) Browse for text file in client terminal.
    3) Load content of text file into a textarea on a jsp.
    What technology can be used? Java bean? Servlet? Any guide, advise or sample code would be appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Thanks for the report. The fix for this is indeed already in our 9.0 code (which will be the next release of iSQL*Plus)
