Mac OS 9 Client and Oracle 9i

We have some Mac Clients with OS 9. They are actually connected via Oracle Products for Macintosh (SQL*Net 2.3) on an Oracle 8i Instance. Now we want to migrate to Oracle 9iR2. Can we use the same client configuration? Is there any newer client software for Apple Macintosh?
Thanks for your help

Currently you can use the OCI8 client - it works fine against Oracle 9iR2 - and it works in Jaguar and Panther. You can even use Powerbuilder or Xcode to compile your apps.
(the OCI8 client includes the necessary Net8 files)
if it's java, there is also a JDBC/Thin driver.

DT require Oracle9i client and Oracle Services for MTS software

"Distributed Transactions require Oracle9i client and Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server software."
I get the error above when attempt to run a COM+ transaction accessing Oracle9i. I'd been checked the installation of Oracle9i and Oracle Services in the client computer and it is ok.
I am using Windows Server 2003 and the database server is on another Windows Server 2003. The database is Oracle9i Enterprise Edition.
At Stanford's web site (http://www.stanford.edu/dept/itss/docs/oracle/9i/win.920/a95496/ch1.htm#1079911) I found Oracle's documentation that explains this, but it didn't worked for me.
Oracle Services is installed in both machines.
The Oracle MTS Recovery Service is running.
The COM+ component is registered.
When I use the same component with SQL Server 2005 beta 2 it works fine. What else do I need to do?
Thanks in advance.

Hi.
I have the same problem, one which works and another which don't (almost though).
I got most of it to work by taking the mtsservices registry entry from the server that works and put it on to the other after i have made the service in Oracle management console for mts.
Now i can search, delete, change but not make a new entry into the database.
And thats where i'm stuck now.
Hope it helps a bit..

Difference between oracle client and oracle server?

Hi,
could any one please tell me the difference between these things?
1.)oracle client and oracle server
2.) installtion of oracle client and oracle server
Thanks in advance.

Take a look at the general client - server computing model, described e.g. in this wiki.

Trying to understand text encodings between windows clients and oracle DB

I am focusing on a "maybe bad configured" oracle windows xp client connecting into a well configured oracle db server (10g for example). Instead of just keep the correct client settings to make it work I would prefer to understand what is really doing the oracle client with all the posible bad configurations regarding encodings.
When the client executes something like "SELECT 'Col1', N'Col2' from dual" before sending the sql sentence into the server the sentence itself should be encoded.
But the way the sentence is encoded or the fact that some magic encoding transform occurs depends on the technology used (Java Thin, OCI, Oledb, etc..) and sometimes it depends on the windows setting "Languages for Non-unicode programs" and sometimes it depends on the client NLS_LANG setting on the registry. Or maybe thigs are simpler and I simply got confused... Here we could add that maybe some third party tool could do some other "helpfull" hidden magic encoding transformation to make it work and things become interesting
A second time when all this encoding stuff should be considered is when the results of the sentences are retrieved on the client.
At this point the client receives an byte stream from the server (that could be a VARCHAR column or a NVARCHAR column). Again depending on the technology used the client could be specting a utext, text (OCI) or a CHAR, NCHAR (in JAVA) or a SQL_C_WCHAR, SQL_C_CHAR (in OleDb), etc...
Well, I'm not sure at all about the first point. Is all the sentence encoded in the same way before sending it to the server (ie is sended as plain text) or before the client parses the sentence and it understand that is sending a SELECT statement that returns two cols (one varchar and the other nvarchar)? For example the N, the ' and the Col2 are sent using the same encoding?

Section: Generating ECID by Native/WS/Jolt clients and Domain Gateway
We are using Jolt Clients, via JSL for executing Tuxedo Services. The problem, we always face while debugging is cross relation. It would be extremely useful for us if we could get the ECID printed in webserver and tuxedo server process. Can we get ECID using any programming API in jolt client and in Tuxedo server process ? It would help us to correlate web, Tux and server logs

Connection Errors between Oracle 8 Client and Oracle 8.1.6 EE

Our current application has been developed using PowerBuilder 6.5 and Oracle 8.1.5. Since PB 6.5 does not have a "native driver" for 8.1.5, we have used their driver for Oracle 8.0.5 for Net8 connectivity to the server. Everything works fine.
Recently, I downloaded the current version of Oracle 8.1.6 EE from Technet to try out the compatibilty of our software with the next version of 8I, it failed. The error seems to be somewhere between the 8.0.5 Oracle Client Software and the downloaded Oracle 8.1.6 EE Server software. Some how we have lost the ability to declare cursors. I tried declaring a cursor in a procedure through SQL*Plus and it failed their as well. I have even tried the Oracle 8.0.6 Client, with same results.
Has anyone seen this? If so, what should I do?
Thanks,
Jason

HOW TO SUPPORT TWO-TASK COMMON ERRORS - 1012295.102
Troubleshooting
===============
Two-task common errors are generally RDBMS related issues, but could be caused by a problem with SQL*Net, or an application (i.e. Pro*C).
ORA-03106
======== Possible reasons for the ORA-03106 errors include:
1. Incompatibilities between the client application and the RDBMS server.
For example, version incompatibilities, or a client trying to use a feature not supported by the database kernel.
2. When using database links or gateways.
3. Network or SQL*Net problems.
4. Corruptions.
5. PL/SQL - language related.
check the NLS_LANG variable on the client and server.

Mac creative cloud client and application manager hang up

I have tried several times to download lightroom using my creative cloud account and each time, the computer attempts to open the creative cloud client and/or the application manager program which proceeded to attempt to open, to no avail.

I have the same problem in Windows.
Application manager starts the download then says download corrupt try again later.
Trying latter doesn't help.
I also cant download the trial version of Lightroom direct from Adobe to try and install it without application manager. The trial download link doesn't work.

JDBC Thin Client and Oracle Long Datatype

I am using Wepshere 4.0.2 , JDBC 2.0 (thin driver) and oracle 9i.
I have a procedure which takes Oracle Long Datatype as its parameter.
I use following code to execute procedure.
String dataforsql="AAA000000003 123123 07/01/200301/01/2003";
byte[] bytes = dataforsql.getBytes();
InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes);
cstmt=conn.prepareCall("call nscw.CPPF_SAVEPDCRAWTABLE2(?,?,?)");
cstmt.setAsciiStream (1, is,bytes.length);
The above code works perfectly for data upto 4000 bytes. Once the data crosses the 4000 mark.
i get a procedure error
ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested

cstmt.setAsciiStream (1, is,bytes.length);Oracle's support for CLOB (and BLOB) columns using set{Ascii,Binary}Stream() generally s*cks. You'll have to read Oracle's own JDBC manual (you can read it online at http://technet.oracle.com) for whatever sequence they recommend.
E.g. for insertion and updation of CLOBS, you're supposed to use an oracle-specific function (EMPTY_CLOB()) as the value in the INSERT/UPDATE statement, and then do a SELECT, getClob(), and use Clob APIs to update the actual column value. At least officially. Or you have to use some Oracle-specific APIs in oracle.sql.Connection and oracle.sql.CLOB.

(again) oracle 10g client and oracle 10g express in one computer

hi again, sorry if this question looks like a double post to you.
Well this is quite embarassing yet still make some headache for me. I have my office PC installed with Oracle 10g client using admin component option, for connecting some application with database on remote server. Now, after I have developed some basic map using Oracle 10g Express on my home PC, I want to test it in my office network. But everytime I tried to install Oracle Express, it web interface will working normally while all other aplication can no longer connected with remote server from the client. If I remove Oracle Express, all client connection will working again as if nothing happened. I already created Microsoft LoopBack connection using IP 10.10.10.10, edit TNSNAMES.ORA, etc that could possibly helpful but nothing fixed. Strangely, if I install Oracle 10g Database version, all connection to remote server working again, and map application also working. But this kind of installation takes up all my PC resources (grrrr!). Any more suggestion?
best regards
net2surfin

I'm sorry if the information not accurate, but the client connection made by application which try to connect is simply "not resolved" and show no error code/number at all. I'll try to connect from sqlplus though, maybe the error number will be known from this way.
About 10.10.10.10 tcp loopback, I got this work around from here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b14316/reqs.htm#BABGCEAI
in the Ora Database Preinstallation requirement, where it states like this:
+16.In the Properties dialog box, click Use the following IP address and do the following:+
a.IP Address: Enter a non-routable IP for the loopback adapter. Oracle recommends the following non-routable addresses:
+■192.168.x.x (x is any value between 0 and 255)+
+■10.10.10.10+ <---- this is the value suggested that I've been used in my home PC
b.Subnet mask: Enter 255.255.255.0.
c.Record the values you entered, which you will need later in this procedure.
d.Leave all other fields empty.
e.Click OK.
I'll try to remove the loopback later and see the ORA environment, to see the result. In the mean time, all suggestions is highly appreciated.
thank you n best regards

Mixing Instant Client and Oracle Versions

I have a customer with an Oracle 10.2.0.1.0 database running on Windows XP x64. I'm building a new development machine, and trying to install the matching Instant Client SDK. All I see are versions 10.2.0.3.0 and 10.2.0.2.0 for Oracle 10g2.
I assume the 11g versions are likely to cause some problems. Will it be a problem to install a slightly newer version, or will I have to patch Oracle for the customer? Since there's no actual DBA, I get stuck with all the DBA work, even though I'm a developer, and I try to avoid unnecessary DBA work.

If you have access to download the files from the customer's installed oracle, you can get whatever you need for the SDK there. It will match the exact version number, and be a lot smaller. If you need to run the program on a machine without the installed client or server software, you can use something like a dependency walker to find what DLL's you're missing, if any. Hopefully it won't be too much.

Mac OS X Intel and Oracle

When will Oracle support OS X.
Especially for Developers is the intel OS X a very nice machine.
But I'm waiting for more than a year for the Oracle Database.
When will we get the OS X Intel version?

There is more to this wish than seeing Oracle databases certified for OS X Server.
I want to believe that one of the reasons Oracle is so competitive is that they made a wise decision to make so much of their software available for download on OTN. I am among the developers that took advantage of this for educational purposes, and having so many people with Oracle skills had to have helped Oracle sell. Contrast this with Informix, which had a dedicated following (and to be fair strengths in certain applications). But trying to get "play" versions of Informix was impossible, and see where they are now.
Back to OS X, I believe we are seeing the Mac approaching a critical mass on the desktop. I still have my Dell/XP, but only because of a few holdout applications that don't run natively on my Mac (I know about VMware and have it, but it's only close, not the same).
Not even Apple loyalists (and I am not one of them) can tell Steve what to do. This should not stop Oracle from porting at least XE to OS X. And even if it never makes it to OS X server, there's a good argument to support OS X on Intel for the desktop. Even if Apple is now focused on being the iPhone company.

Multithreaded clients and Oracle JDBC-drivers?

Are the thin and OCI8 drivers for Oracle multithreaded? (I know they're thread safe)
I.e. Can many threads share the same Connection object (and statement objects) to do their requests without the requests being serialized to the DB?
Sun's javadoc of package java.sql says:
We require that all operations on all the java.sql objects be multi-thread safe and able to cope correctly with having several threads simultaneously calling the same object.
Some drivers may allow more concurrent execution than others. Developers can assume fully concurrent execution; if the driver requires some form of synchronization, it will provide it. The only difference visible to the developer will be that applications will run with reduced concurrency.
For example, two Statements on the same Connection can be executed concurrently and their ResultSets can be processed concurrently (from the perspective of the developer). Some drivers will provide this full concurrency. Others may execute one statement and wait until it completes before sending the next.
One specific use of multi-threading is to cancel a long running statement. This is done by using one thread to execute the statement and another to cancel it with its Statement.cancel() method.
Restated again for Oracle; Will threads run concurrently when using the same connection and statements, or will the calls be serialized?

In the connection pool, I specified:
user
password
url
In the deployment tool (Sun Java Appl. Server 8 BE Update 1), I specified the "Resource Reference" for the EJB. This leads to the following entries in sun-ejb-jar.xml:
<res-ref-name>jdbc/pdisasdb</res-ref-name>
   <jndi-name>jdbc/pdisasdb</jndi-name>
      <default-resource-principal>
         <name>myname</name>
         <password>geheim</password>
      </default-resource-principal>
</resource-ref> The strange thing is, that now it works without this entry - but I am not gaga, yesterday it doesnt...

OEM 2.1.0 and Oracle 8.1.5 onb Linux

Hi
I have a probleme with OEM (2.1.0 on NT simple client) and Oracle 8i (8.1.5 on RedHat Linux 6.0 the server)
My Agent run with no probleme and when I search this agent via my Enterprise Manager Console I have no probleme (the agent is find).
But via the console if I try to connect to my database I have a message ORA-12545 Connect failed because target host or object does not exist ! Why ?
If I try to connect via Sqlplus or DBA Studio Standalone I have no probleme.

Hello Serge,
You need to check your tnsnames.ora file. You need to very that the service name you are using on the NT client is really connecting you to the linux server.
The Oracle docs cover how to set it up.
it goes something like this
Also do a search for Jesus M. Salvo's how to on setting it all up. He is on the OTN check back about 2 months or so.
I would send you a copy of my tnsnames.ora file, but I cannot get it (not on server now)

Mac OS X Client Import Error

I am attempting to install and use Cisco VPN Client 4.9.01 for Mac OS X under 10.5.1 (Leopard)
The install seems to go fine, along with application launch. The issue is that importing a PCF file doesn't work. Here are the steps.
1. Select Import.
2. Navigate to PCF file, select.
3. Message "File blah blah foo bar imported successfully."
4. No connection entry appears in the list.
5. Looked in folder, profile is indeed there.
6. Can use client through command line, utilizing correct profile.
Thanks,
Kevin
(I'm a programmer, completely at the mercy of the Lords of Networking here assembled. Please take mercy on this bit basher by helping me out.)

You should be able to import a pcf file from a Windows client to your MAC OS X client and copy it to the /etc/CiscoSystemsVPNClient/Profiles directory. There are several features on the Windows client which are not available on the MAC Client. Any keywords within the pcf file related to these features should be ignored by the MAC OSX client.

Connecting client and server on a same PC

Hi,
I installed oracle personnal DB 10g on my computer then I installed the client 10g on the same computer,
I would like to know how to configure the files ("HOSTS",...) so I can enter on the client and work on the database. (It well help me simulate the work before having a real server)
I already create a database on the oracle personnal named"ONDA" but I don't know what ip adress use and what to do.
I tried some tutorials but doesn't work

Iam using Oracle 10g client and Oracle 10g R2 on the same computer (windows xp)Separate installations? Not needed, as the db installation includes a full client.
Can you show where I had to write this "$ lsnrctl stat"
and where I had to write this "$ sqlplus user@'hostname:port/servicename'" ?at the command prompt. (the '$' is just shorthand for the command prompt itself. at the prompt, you enter 'lsnrctl status'.)
Whats is my servicename ?ONDA
Can you give me please a quick tutorial ?

I put the adress 127.0.0.1 for both server and client on the file "HOSTS"
I wroteon HOSTS:
127.0.0.1 server
127.0.0.1 client
should just have
127.0.0.1 localhost
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxx somehostnamewhere 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' is a fixed ip (servers -- and your database is a server process) need fixed ip addresses
where 'somehostname' is whatever name you want to use to refer to your computer.
then I went to \network\admin\tnsnames.ora and I wrote:
ONDA =

(CONNECT_DATA =

My database (on sever ) is named ONDA
I don't know what to do on the listner? wich listner modify (server or client) ?There is no such thing as a 'client listener'. The listener is, by definition, a server-side process.
DId you read -- and heed -- the installation instructions, especially those concerning installing a loopback adapter and a fixed ip address?
