Mixing Oracle 7 and Oracle 8i client

I don't know whether this is the right forum for this, but I could not find any other appropriate one.
We have a situation where a customer has Oracle7 client side installed for use by an application. Now we need to install Oracle8i client,for the same customer, for use by a new application. Will this result in some kind of clash? How does one handle this kind of multiple client versions?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Problems with mixed 10.5 and 10.6 client

We run a small network based on 10.6 server. Most users are network user accounts. I'm seeing strange behaviour when a user moves from a 10.6 client to a 10.5 client. Address book needs to be reimported, spotlight reindexes, iTunes Library needs to be rebuilt etc.
Is anyone seeing the same issues, and are there any workarounds?

just to close down an old thread. Mail on 10.6 and 10.5 are not interchangable, neither are the two versions of Address Book. I've had to limit users to either 10.5 or 10.6 macs and will eventually get them all to 10.7, retiring to PPC machines.

Mixing 10.4 and 10.5 clients with 10.5 Server

This is the question of a neophite, but in looking through documentation and these boards I do not see a definitive answer to the following:
I am starting the process of installing a 10.5 server in an office environment that to date has consisted of standalone desktop clients. Some of these machines are running 10.5, others are still running 10.4. This is a low-budget operation, so we'd like to keep it that way unless absolutely necessary. I am trying to understand how the issue of preferences, etc. will work once users are logging into a server with centralized home directories. In particular, if a single user sometimes logs in from a 10.4 based client and sometimes logs in from a 10.5 based client, is there a version conflict between preferences saved in ~/Library, or any other files stored there? Is there inherent backwards and forwards compatibility so it is not an issue? Or, are these preferences separated somehow within the home directory tree? Or, does it blow up in the user's face?

Yes you want to setup an Open Directory.
Server Admin -> Open Directory currently says the Role is Standalone Directory. Is that OK or should it be an Open Directory Master?
Try these things Open Terminal on the Server and type "sudo changeip -checkhostname" without the quotes
If that all comes back good then DNS should be fine
It was fine.
On the client machine in a local administrator account open terminal and type "host yourserver.dnsname"
the name you type there is the one that got returned from the changeip -checkhostname command
the ip address that it give you back should be the IP address of the server (either a 10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x) iff all is good jump down 1 step to the Directory Utility step below
Reported an error.
if it is not then
Open system preferences on the client and select network then in the Ethernet or Airport whatever one you use in the DNS Sever section type the servers IP address (10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x)
Done. Now the "host yourserver.dnsname reports the correct IP address.
Open Directory Utility and delete whatever server is in the list and add a new one using the DNS name ie. yourcomany.private not an ip address
RESTART the machine
Here's where it fails, same as before. I get the error:
There was no response from server.stpeterspress.private. Please check that the address you entered is correct.

Database connection encryption and integrity with ColdFusion and Oracle thin client

As ColdFusion datasource we are using the Oracle thin client to connect with the database. So, basically we are using a JDBC URL such as jdbc:oracle:thin:@... and as Driver Class oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver. This works successfully however we would like to set encryption and integrity parameters as well. In Java this is done similarly by setting a Properties object prior to getting a connection as follows:
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.put("oracle.net.encryption_client", "REQUIRED");
prop.put("oracle.net.encryption_types_client", "( DES40 )");
prop.put("oracle.net.crypto_checksum_client", "REQUESTED");
prop.put("oracle.net.crypto_checksum_types_client", "( MD5 )");
OracleDataSource ods = new OracleDataSource();
ods.setProperties(prop);
ods.setURL("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:main");
Connection conn = ods.getConnection();
Is there a way that I can pass these parameters to the ColdFusion datasource. Ideally, I would love to do this centrally in such way that a change to all the cfquery or cfstoredproc is not needed.
I also know that in application servers such as Oracle AS there is an option when creating a datasource which says "Add Properties". In there you can add such properties. So, I was thinking of maybe creating a JNDI DS in the app. server and then magically connecting to it but this may have some impacts on the app.
Besides this I was also thinking of communicating with the CF datasource through the CF admin API (cfide.adminapi.administrator) and also the option of extending the Oracle driver so that when CF connects with it these params are already set.
I would love to have your professional opinion and suggestions on this.

I believe the thin driver actually needs the IP address (not the DNS name). Also, is "java" the name of the Oracle instance to which you are trying to connect?
Try the following:String driver = "jdbc:oracle:thin";
String dbIP = "W2RZ1NXG01's IP address";
String dbPort = "1530";
String dbSid = "java";
String dbUser = "Admin";
String dbPswd = "apassword";
String cnctStr = driver + ":@" + dbIP + ":" + port + ":" + dbSid;
try
    Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
    con = DriverManager.getConnection( cnctStr, dbUser, dbPswd );
    stmt = con.createStatement();
    stmt.executeUpdate(createString);
    stmt.close();
    con.close();
catch(SQLException ex)
    System.err.println( "The following SQLException occurred: " + ex );
    System.err.println( "Message: " + ex.getMessage() );

Oracle 8i Server (32 bit) and oracle 9i client (32) bit on Win 2003 64bit??

Hi,
1st server (DB Server)
OS : Windows 2000 Server
Oracle 8i Server (32 bit)
2nd server (Web Server)
OS : Windows 2003 SP2 (64 bit)
Oracle 9i client (32 bit)
After i installed, oracle 9i client (32 bit) in Windows 2003 SP2 (64 bit), i managed to install and configure tnsnames and connects using SQL Plus. However, i CANNOT see Oracle in ODBC.
Que 1 : Why? Why i cannot see any Oracle in ODBC? Is it because of 64 bit?
Que 2: If i installed Oracle 9i client (64 bit), will it solve the problem?
Que 3: Will my .Net software gives problem when application installed in IIS interacts with DB server???
thanks

Oracle Instant Client and OUT Parameter of custom type in Stored Procedures

Hi @ all!
I try to set up a simple client application, that calls a stored procedure via Instant Client from C#.
The stored procedure and assiciated types looks like this:
TYPE MYVALUE AS OBJECT
      Id      INTEGER,
      value     FLOAT
TYPE MYVALUELIST AS TABLE OF MYVALUE;
PROCEDURE ReadValues( ID IN INTEGER,
                                    RESULTSET OUT MYVALUELIST)
                                       IS
...I created an Oracle Command executing this SP and added OracleParameters for ID and (where I got stuck) the RESULTSET.
Is it possible to pass a parameter with a custom type from C# in some way?
I already tried it as a function with SELECT * FROM TABLE(ReadValues(1));
With my parameter RESULTSET as the RETURN type. But since I use DML within the procedure, this does not work inside of a query...
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Greg!
Sorry, I misunderstood the forum topic then. =(
Anyway, in the example you provided in the link, this is nearly exactly my situation. But there the Oracle.DataAccess.Client is used, where the OracleDBType can be called to initialize an object of type person. I use the instant client libraries called by using System.Data.OracleClient. There is only the OracleType enum, that does not contain an object or something similar.
So I do it right now after trying a bit with a ref cursor parameter and an OracleDataAdapter - the ref cursor is passed back from Oracle as a DataReader, so die DataAdapter is able to use it for a .Fill():
OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand();
cmd.Parameters.Add("RESULTSET", OracleType.Cursor).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
OracleDataAdapter odr = new OracleDataAdapter(cmd);
DataTable result = new DataTable();
odr.Fill(result);Within my stored procedure I just added the following OUT parameter:
PROCEDURE ReadValues( ID IN INTEGER,
                                    RESULTSET OUT sys_refcursor)
                                       IS
currentlist MYVALUELIST;
... [Adding elements to that list] ...
OPEN resultset for select * from TABLE(currentlist);It works now, but I don't like that solution that much since I'm always afraid that there are lots of opened cursors idyling around. Do I have to close this one explicitly after filling my table by the DataAdapter?

Error to connect oracle 10g client and designer BO 4.0

hello,
I try to connect oracle 10g client and designer BO 4.0.
I created an ODBC connection to function in the administration tools of data sources but I can not connect once in designer.
I tried using the driver directly oracle designer 10 but I have the same error that is this:
DBD: ORA-12154: TNS: connection identifier specified could not be resolved
someone there had the same concerns?
cordially

Hi,
so it looks like that your TNSNAMES.ORA file isn`t properly configured. Thats why you can connect with the IDT to your Oracle Database.
Your DBA`s should sent you the correct TNSNAMES.ORA file or the entry for your DB prior. After the tnsping works, you will be able to use the IDT properly.

Location of tnsnames.ora for Tora and Oracle XE Client

I Googled far and wide and did not see a CLEAR answer to my question, hopefully this will help others.
I have installed the debian oracle-xe-client and tora packages (tora rebuilt for oracle) on Ubuntu 8.04.
However, I did not know where I was supposed to place the tnsnames.ora file for my databases. I have tried running Tora with the environment variable of TNS_ADMIN set to the file where I placed my tnsnames.ora, however that did not work as Tora did not 'see' the file or its entries apparently. I know this works because I copied it from a Debian Etch box with the client and server installed.
I had even added a 'network/admin' directory structure to the //usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/client (ORACLE_HOME) with the tnsnames.ora but also with no success.
Now for the solution:
Simply remember that TNS_ADMIN points to the directory where the tnsnames.ora is and it will work. :)
I do have a suggestion that both Tora and sqlplus use a config file to set these directory(s) in addition to the overriding ability of the environment variable, TNS_ADMIN as is usually the case with UNIX apps (and thus expected).
Thank you,
Jason

The ODBC Instant Client Readme that is included in the install also indicates that %ORACLE_HOME%/network/admin/tnsnames.ora is the correct default location. What about OCI?

Difference Between Oracle ADF and ADF Rich Client

Hello Gurus,
I want to know the difference between those two:
Oracle ADF:
http://goo.gl/6Q1i2
and
ADF Rich Client:
http://goo.gl/L31ra
I downloaded Jdeveloper 11g (11.1.2.3.0)
I did this tutorial which It adf right? http://goo.gl/8Mf7c
and this other is rich client right? http://goo.gl/7Krew
Can I please know the advantages of them over the other one? THANKS !!!

ADF Faces Rich Client Components are a part of Oracle ADF.
So Oracle ADF uses ADF Faces as the components for the rich web UI, but it also offers things like simplified database access through ADF Business Components, an advanced ADF Controller layer, and simple data binding.
I would suggest starting with this seminar:

Oracle 10g Client and ODAC Side-By-Side

Hi there, I was unable to find an answer to my query by using search, but apologies if this is a double-post.
I'm having some issues with a ASP.NET application running on a Windows XP Pro machine. The machine has Oracle 10g client installed (oraClient10g_home1), and also ODAC (ODACHome2).
The part of my web application that accesses our Oracle DB (10g), always gets a ORA-12154 error when it tries to connect, but SQL*Plus and tnsping for this TNS both work on the machine.
When I use tnsping from the command line it looks like its using parameter files from the ODAC home, rather than the 10g client home.
On my development machine (where ODAC is not installed), the application works fine.
Does anyone have any idea if there are any issues having both of these clients installed?
Or otherwise where my problem could be?
Thanks very much in advance,
James Simm

Thanks for the link, however it hasn't solved my issues:
The version of ODP.Net installed is 10.2.0.2.20, and the Oracle Client is 10.2, so according to that link it should be able to automatically switch between Oracle Homes.
The application I'm troubleshooting doesn't actually use ODP.Net, it uses System.Data.OracleClient, but ODP.Net is required for another application.
I'm extremely stuck, as I cannot understand why I'm getting ORA-12154 when every other Oracle application on the machine can access it.
Please let me know if there are any other things I can try, or if you need any information from me?
Thanks in advance,
James Simm

(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

Oracle 9i Client and System.Data.OracleClient Problems

I have an application server that has an ASP.NET webpage that queries an Oracle database on another machine through ODP.NET.
The app server's machine's OS is Microsoft Windows XP SP2 with IIS and .NET 2.0 Framework installed and configured correctly.
The following Oracle software is installed (from OUI inventory listing)
Oracle Services For Microsoft Transaction Server 9.2.0.7.0
Oracle ODBC Driver 9.2.0.7.0
Oracle Provider for OLE DB 9.2.0.7.0
Oracle Objects for OLE 9.2.0.7.0
Oracle Data Provider for .NET 9.2.0.7.0
Oracle 9i Client 9.2.0.1.0
Sun JDK 1.3.1.0.1a
When the ASP.NET page attempts to connect to the Oracle instance on the remote machine via the Data provider I get the following message...
System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Exception: System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater.
Source Error:
An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.
<<snipped>>
I know the connectivity between the client on the app server (SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.1.0)
and the remote database (Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0)
is working since sqlplus sessions connect and the NET Manager tests through Local Service Naming succceed.
I've tried the "ORACLE_HOME permission changes" solution for Autenticated users as articulated here ....
http://jasondotnet.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!BD40DBF53845E64F!122.entry
but the error persists.
In the list of oracle installed products above, I installed the first 5 (ODP.NET) before the last 2 (Oracle 9i client). Would this matter ? At first I thought perhaps the ODP.NET component didn't "know" about the client since it was installed before there was one on that app server.
Feeback much appreciated.

Well I figured it out. I guess...
1) Uninstalled all Oracle Software Products
2) Rebooted the machine.
3) Manually removed C:\oracle\ora92\.
4) Installed and configured the following
* Oracle 9i Client 9.2.0.1.0
5) Installed and configured the following
* Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server 9.2.0.7.0
* Oracle ODBC Driver 9.2.0.7.0
* Oracle Provider for OLE DB 9.2.0.7.0
* Oracle Objects for OLE 9.2.0.7.0
* Oracle Data Provider for .NET 9.2.0.7.0
6) Gave the following accounts Full Control over the ORACLE_HOME directory
* ASP.NET Machine Account
* Internet Guest Account
* Launch IIAS Process Account
6) iisreset
Conclusion....
The order in which Oracle components are installed does matter.

Oracle 9i client and COM+ transaction = error

CR 2008 and ODBC connection using Oracle Instant Client driver?

Two questions.
I'm creating CR 2008 report using an ODBC connection. The ODBC driver is the Oracle Instant Client (version 10.2, I think.)
When I define the connection, I see only a few tables. I do not see the Tables, Views, Qualifiers tree that I see with a normal Oracle Server connection.
Does anybody know why this happens? Is there a CR ODBC driver that works better?
Second question: I have a .NET application that is pointing the report to another Oracle DB. In my db, table names are not unique -- each user has the same set of tables. I find that when the .net applciation sets the datasource, I get connected to the first table with a given name; I do not get the table scoped by the logon user.
In the .net application, how do I scope the table name to a particular user.
Any info helps. Thanks.
Tim

Hi Tim,
Below are the replies to your questions:
Answer 1: Please try the below steps:
- Make sure that in File->Options->Database Tab in the Data Explorer section the corresponding checkboxes are checked for tables, views,system tables,synonyms and stored procedures and the Table name LIKE and Owner LIKE boxes are blank.
- Please try with OLEDB connection and check the results.
- You can also refer to this SAP note no# 1215994, the link to which is given below:
[https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/sno/ui_entry/entry.htm?param=69765F6D6F64653D3030312669765F7361706E6F7465735F6E756D6265723D3132313539393426]
Answer 2: If you are using RAS SDK only then you would be able to change table name. Please let us know if you are using RAS.
If you are using RAS with Java please post your query in the Java forum else if you are using Visual Studio/.NET then please post your question in .NET Forum.
Please update with the results.
Thanks!
