Mass deployment of Oracle client

What methods are available for mass deployment of the Oracle 9i client runtime? I mean for 100+ PCs at a time. Is there an Oracle-based solution?
My company's preferred method for application deployment is Microsoft SMS 2003. I have tried using two methods so far:
1) Creating an MSI file by using InstallShield AdminStudio and the snapshot process. Then deploy the MSI file with SMS 2003.This only worked on a minority of target PCs. Perhaps I just did it wrong!
2) Creating an Oracle RSP response file for the Oracle Universal Installer and then attempting to get SMS to deploy the whole bundle. I could get the silent install working fine if I manually ran it on individual PCs whilst logged in as an admin, but getting it to deploy with SMS was hopeless.
Has anybody produced a detailed guide on how to mass deploy the client? Or even just some basic tips?!
Any help much appreciated.

MSI files are executed with MSIExec.exe and it comes with a few switches depending on the version. You can check out these links for the respective versions and switches. If you have successfully created .MSI with AdminStudio, you could try these.

There are syntax for the NT4 version too which I can't seem to place at the moment. This should be able to force an installation even if it's been installed previously.
Good luck.

How to mass deploy Windows InTune client software with GPO

I have been looking for mass deploy Windows InTune client software. The only option that I had was with GPO. As we know the exe is not possible to deploy with GPO. Ok, we can play arouund with ZAP files or tranform exe to msi. In my opinion this is
rather »walk-around« the »enginering aproach. So, how can we mass deploy InTune client with GPO. We need to extract the msi from exe. The command is »Windows_Intune_Setup.exe /Extract <destination-directory> ». The command extracts exe to x86 and x64
client msi install. Then we can deploy throw GPO. The »WindowsIntune.accountcert« file must be in the same folder share as described in document http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj676611.aspx.
I have tested the deployment, and works good.

Hi,
Thanks for your sharing here! And this should be post on the Group Policy forum, I will move it there!

Deployment of oracle client application

Hello,
I want to know if i can get connected to the Oracle Database Server 10g from my client system without installing any Oracle Client Software.
i have developed an oracle application using oracle client 10g in C#. i have to deploy this project in the client pc. it asks for a oracle client software.
is it must and should that the oracle client software be installed in the client pc. or any other measures to deploy the application without installing oracle client in the client pc.
thanks
ajith.

I want to know if i can get connected to the Oracle Database Server 10g from my client system without installing any Oracle Client Software.Yes you can connect without installing the client software in oracle 10g, the new tool is rather a folder and some settings called instantclient. See the link [http://www.databasejournal.com/features/oracle/article.php/3371561/Instant-Client-in-Oracle-10g.htm].
i have developed an oracle application using oracle client 10g in C#. i have to deploy this project in the client pc. it asks for a oracle client software.
is it must and should that the oracle client software be installed in the client pc. or any other measures to deploy the application without installing oracle client in the client pc.Depending of the binaries or jar files which you may be using in C#. If it is present in instant client then of course you can connect otherwise you have to install it. Connectivity with oracle database needs some net configuration, when you install oracle client the sql net is being installed. When you install java a java net is installed and using JDBC driver you can connect to the database. That is basic idea behind oracle connectivity.

Deploy oracle client

Dear DBAs,
in case the system administrator wants to deploy the oracle client software on many users' pc, do you have an idea if it's feasable ?
thx in advance

Install oracle client on one pc with updated tnsnames configuration.
Test the connectivity to the application.
Perform a SMS-push or take a image of the configured and apply it to other pc's.
Check with your desktop support team on how to do this.

'The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client' exceptio

Hi
I installed ODAC-11.1.0.7.10 Beta on my development system and developed a .net application which uses Oracle.DataAccess.dll to connect to Oracle10g database.
the application is working fine, means opening connection successfully when I run it from my development system. but the same application is throwing
'The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client' exception when I run it on my 10g database server system.
what I need to do to run the application successfully on the machine where 10g server exists?
any help is appreciated.
thanks,
harry

Hi Harry,
I am not sure why you installed 11.1.0.7.10 Beta as 11.1.0.7.20 has been released and you should not be using the beta at this time. That error message is because the dependencies being loaded by the process are the wrong version. When you deploy an ODP .NET application using 11.1.7.x, you need to make sure you deploy it to a machine where the 11.1.0.7.x dependencies are installed. My guess is if I read your poat correctly is that Oracle.DataAccess.dll version 11.1 is loaded but its finding 10.2 dependencies on the target deployment box.

Deployment of SOAP client...

Hi,
My setup is iAS 10.1.2.0, database is 10.1.0.2, JDeveloper is 10.1.2.0.
I am trying to deploy a SOAP client stub to the database, when I get the errors below. Obviously I will have to load some JARs to correct this.
Having read the "http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/jsp/loadjars.html" page, I am not sure what jar files I will have to load to the 10g database (will I really need the OC4J downloaded files or can I do with the ones supplied in the database directories?), and if there are any obstacles I need to be aware of beforehand?
Cheers,
Jørgen

Following up on the "How-To Install Soap Client Stack in Oracle..." note, I tried to base the install on the JARs available in the database installation, using the following script:
set OC4J_HOME=C:\Oracle\DB\oc4j
set ORACLE_HOME=C:\Oracle\DB
loadjava -thin -user sys/oracle@w2koracleas10g:1521:orcl -resolve -synonym -verbose -grant public %OC4J_HOME%/soap/lib/soap.jar %OC4J_HOME%/lib/dms.jar %OC4J_HOME%/jlib/javax-ssl-1_1.jar %ORACLE_HOME%/lib/servlet.jar %ORACLE_HOME%/jdk/jre/lib/ext/mail.jar
I see two problems from this:
-the SSL classes are not being loaded (I seem to remember having read that these are not supposed to go into the SYS schema, correct?)
-Among others, I receive an error "ORA-29534: referenced object SYS.oracle/soap/transport/http/OracleSOAPHTTPConnection could not be resolved". This last error is preventing me from deploying the webservice client stub.
Any hints/tips are very welcome! -How have you deployed these JARs into 10.1.0.2?

Oracle Client 11G R2

Application Name: Oracle Client
Application Version: 11G R2
Company Name: Oracle
Sequencer Version: 4.6
App-V Client Version Tested On: 4.6
Operating System Sequenced On: Server 2003 R2 SP2
Pre-requisites: None
Client Operating Systems Successfully Deployed To: Server 2003 R2 SP2 (x86), Server 2008 (x86), Server 2008 R2.
Posted by non-Microsoft Employee: Kevin Kaminski, Big Hat Group Inc.
Steps to Sequence the Application:
Before sequencing you may want a dummy user and system ODBC DNS in place so that the sequence can see other DSNs at the machine level.
Launch setup.exe.
Make sure InstantClient is selected and click Next.
Change the installation folder to Q:\Oracle11.001.
Ignore PATH error.
Select Finish.
Click Close.
Most environments provide a TNSNAMES.ORA and SQLNET.ORA files that are customized for the customers environment. It is a good idea to keep these files outside of the sequence to make them easier to update especially if you are going to use multiple sequences with the Oracle client. Make a folder off of the root of C:\ and put the files in there and set the environment variable based on the example below.
TNS_ADMIN=c:\OracleTNS
Create necessary ODBC DSNs.
Known Issues/Limitations: Oracle is working on a client to be supported on Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2. A release is expected in July 2010.
Approximate Sequencing Time: 30 minutes
Other (Optional fields)
App-V friendly copy protection scheme? N/A
Additional Notes/Links: N/A
Custom scripts to assist in the process: Can use pre launch script to update TNSNAMES.ORA and SQLNET.ORA if it is inside of the sequence.

Oracle Client installation

I have installed the Oracle Client on an Windows XP SP2 professional system as a local administrator. I deploy the workstation to a user that only has user access to the machine.
When I try to launch the net manager or configuration wizard, I get nothing. If I elevate the user to an administrator everything works frine.
I am looking for specific instructions in how to run the Oracle client in a limited user context. Client in 9i as well as 10g.
Thank you,
Jason

Hi,
in case the java-written assistants don't start, try to launch the assistant in a dos-box (cmd.exe) and see what their output is. In your case I'd suggest missing privileges on the ORACLE_HOME, especially on %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\*.ora

Mass creation of Oracle HR Self Service Users (for access to all employees)

Mass creation of Oracle HR Self Service Users (for access to all employees)
Hi all,
We have Oracle Human Resources 11.5.7 and recently implement Oracle HRMS (Self Service) for the purpose of Online Appraisal System.
Is there any fast way to create all employees as users of the Self Service instead of creating the users manually one by one in HR?
I would appreciate any feedback.
Thanking you in advance.
Best regards,

Supporting both Oracle clients 10 and 11

Hello,
We have to deploy an application to different client computers - each could have Oracle client 10 or 11.
We don't want to ask users to change to another Oracle client, but we can ask them to install ODP support for their client.
My question is: is ti possible our application to be compatible with both Oracle clients (10 and 11)? How to achieve that?
Or it should detect client version and somehow use different ODP?
Thanks

The first thing to do is to go to the organizer preferences>media analysis and be sure the auto analyzer is turned off.

Oracle Client Merge Module

Somebody knows if exists a merge module for Oracle 8i?.
We are deploying an application which uses Oracle 8.1.6 Client with OCI calls between Oracle and Delphi.
We built an installation kit, and we want to install Oracle Client in same setup via merge modules.
Is it posible?
I appreciate some help
Best Regards

Sorry I wasn't sure.... But let me try to give you another idea.
So if you want to protect your schema I suggest to use roles.
I mean collect all schema privileges into two roles.
Set default role for your schema user an almost empty role. (create session)
Plus create a full featured role which is password protected.
So you can implement in your application that when it connects it "SET ROLE" to the full featured one with password of course...
This way only your application can use/see objects in schema...

WS Deployed on Oracle App. Server, Response issue for some requests

I have a WebService deployed on Oracle Application Server and it's an HTTPS connection. I am facing a small issue and can't figure out
what's going on. For each request there's a response to let know the requester that data is processed successfully or any error. The caller of the Web Service makes a call and sends in an xml data. It's processed on my end and then a return type is an Element that holds the response data. Once in a while the caller does not get a response back even though on my end I don't see any errors and the data is processed successfully.
Here is the signature of the function:
public Element parseData(Element data) throws RemoteException; And I can't figure out why a caller does not receive a response back for some of the requests. Any ideas what might be wrong or how to debug this issue. Is there any place I can look to see for each request is a response going back. I don't know if it's related Network or App. Server and where to start to debug this.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi there.
If the consumer of your service is a .NET client, it will silently ignore any response that is not formated as advertize in the WSDL and will return an empty object to the caller. As you are trying to use raw XML Element, it seams to be a potential explaination.
If you can turn off SSL in your test environment, you may want to run a TCP sniffer tool, on the host where your server is running. You can setup a filter on the IP @ of the consumer or the TCP port of the service comsumed. I'll recommend you look at ethereal as it's a cross platform utility.
Hope it helps.

Oracle Client Download

Is there a way I can download only the Oracle Client?

Yes you can download a client.

In this moment, the Oracle Store is temporarily unavailable due to required maintenance, but it is possible when the Oracle Store will available.

OEM mass deploy question

The docs basically say that every server database has to have the same path for the oracle home. We have some older databases with homes in different directories. Is it really necessary for us to go to each oracle home on the servers and run the Download script or is there a way to use the mass deploy if I get a list of the different oracle homes?

the OS software version is differnet also. Its not going to compile. That is just one example. I am hoping there is a download of multiple versions of unix/linux and I can mass deploy them through the network.
