Multiple oracle client (81 and 9i) on NT4.0

Hi All,
I have installed 2 oracle client in my PC but it doesn't work properly when I choose the oracle home uses Oracle installation product -> Home selector
2 oracle clients in my PC uses different oracle home as below:-
Oracle816 --> OraHome81
Oracle9i --> orahome9i
Both oracle client are intalled in the different path as below:-
c:/orant/
d:/ora9i/
When I choose the OraHome81 from home selector and logon to db uses TOAD, somehow and don't know why, it will still point to orahome9i.
Can some one tell me how to solve this?
Thanks.

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.

Multiple Oracle Clients on Same Machine for different apps

I was not able to find info that answered this so sorry if I missed something that explains this.
At our site we have many applications some I know lots about some I'm not even aware of because we have mulitple sites. The application I develop uses an Oracle 8.1.7 database. In the next year we are going to be upgrading to a 9i database. The app I program for is written in VB and uses 0040 with the 7.3.4 version. We want to upgrade our client to the latest version to use all the features of the 9i database when that times comes. Can we have our 9i client on the same machine that may have other apps that require the 8i client or even the 7.3.4 client without breaking them? The other apps may or may not use 0040. Some of these apps are Oracle Forms applications and some can be anything under the sun.
I still need to do testing to see what breaks but thought someone may already have the answers some of my ?'s Any tips or info you can provide would be great.
Thanks

Two possible answers
1) Oracle added multi-home support to the Oracle client in 8i (may have been 8.0, I'm really not sure). This allows you to set up multiple 8i and above clients on a single machine in different Oracle Homes and should solve the majority of your problems. Having a 7.3.4 client installed wouldn't be supported, but 8i clients should have no difficulty connecting to a 7.3.4 database.
When Oracle added multi-home support, not all the Oracle client products were made multi-home compatible. The ODBC driver, for example, wasn't multi-home compatible until significantly later patchsets. I belive that OO4O has been multi-home compatible since the client has been, though.
2) From a technical standpoint, you should be able to have a 7.3.4 client alongside 8i and above clients. In my experience, this works, but isn't something that Oracle supports.

Is it possible to have Oracle client 7 and 9 at the same time?

I have Windows XP and I need to have both clients at the same time in the same machine.
Is it possible to have multiple oracle homes, one for each client version?
thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick replay...I supposed that answers but I have seen some info where it said that Oracle Client releases previous to 8.0.4 supports only single home.
The case is my customer has already installed and Oracle Client 7 to access some old database, now we need to install on the same computer a Oracle Client 9.2, you mean there is no problem with this ?
Thanks in advance....

With multiple Oracle Clients how do you know which one ADO is using

Currently using Oracle client 8.1.7 to connect to a 10g database with the following connection string.
Driver={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle}; CONNECTSTRING=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=127.0.0.1)(PORT=10001))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=Falcon2))); uid=Falcon;pwd=*******;"
If I add a second, newer client, how do I tell ADO to use the newer client?
Thanks,
Dave

Can't find how and where to downaload the Oracle Client 8i and Developer 6i

All,
I am looking for downloads at OTN for the following.
1. Oracle Client 8i
2. Oracle Forms and Reports 6i
I had them installed on my m/c but lately I have been getting SQL*Net connection failures. I have been suggested to install the whole developer tools again.
Any help in this regard is appreciated.
Regards,
Susheel K Raina.

Here is the link - I just verify prior to posting it here.
http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/forms/content.html
For the Oracle 8i client, download the 8i database server and do a custom installation - client installation is one of the options.
hope this proves useful

Multiple oracle client configuration 9i / 10g - variables question

Our ETL tool sits on a Windows application server.
The ETL tool communicates with Oracle databases using SQLNet Client.
The database we need to output to is 10g. The target for this database is defined in the tnsnames.ora file.
We need to read from 8i, 9i, and 10g databases. The details of these are also in the tnsnames.ora file.
We would like the default client on the application server running the ETL tool to be the 10g client.
We would like the 9i client to be installed alongside the 10g client, with the 10g client being the default. We can then create an ODBC connection using the Oracle SQORA32.DLL driver that is packaged as part of the 9i client installation.
Our ETL tool will then read from the 8i database using the 9i ODBC connection, outputting to a 10g database via the 10g SQLNet client. (We encountered ORA-03134: Connections to this server version are no longer supported when connecting to our 8i database because the version was so old, and we cannot patch it due to business requirements).
Problem:
How do we configure the clients to allow this? What is the best way? What should the PATH be set to / should ORACLE_HOME / TNS_ADMIN be defined etc? Are there any other variables that we need to set?

Oracle client 9i and Oracle RAC 11g

Hi,
Would appreciate to help me in following. I have installed RAC 11g on one site and on another site I have machine with installed client 9i. All traffic between them going through firewall.
Client is using by application that opening from 8 to 12 sessions to server with permanent high load. Periodically we are getting error "end-of-file communication" that means disconnections with DB.
Can it be compatibility issue between 9i client and 11g server or most probably firewall killing connections?
On the same site that installed DB, we are using 11g client and there everything working perfectly. So it can be only firewall or client 9i issue.

My version of client is 9.2.0.7. It should be compatible as per this doc:
https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?_afrLoop=163455558495377&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=1814k31djx_120#115

Are the query plans the same on the two servers? Do they have the same data? The same initialization parameters? Are your statistics accurate?

A few of questions concerning the Oracle Client

Hi
Firstly, I'd just like to say that what I know about Oracle could be written on a very small postage stamp that had somehow been torn in half and then in half again.
Apologies for the waffle...
One of my roles within our organisation, is to create and deploy application using Novell ZENWorks to our users who will shortly be moving to a purely Windows XP SP2 environment.
Q1-Is the Oracle 8 client fully supported by XP SP2?
Our organisation runs multiple Oracle DB's and up until now, separate application objects have been created for each DB with that DB's settings in it's TNSNAMES.ORA file which is pushed out along with that application object. The trouble is that some users need to access more than one DB which means that they sometimes have multiple copies of the Oracle Client installed, using different TNSNAMES.ORA files depending on what DB they want to connect to.
Q2-Can I either carry out one install of say the Oracle 9 client and have one TNSNAMES.ORA file with all the DB settings in? Or even better still, can I install the client on one of the shared volumes on the server (I realise that I'd have to copy certain files to the workstation) and then get all the workstations to run the client from there?
Q3-Our preferred method of deploying applications is to use MSI's, but for some reason Oracle only supply some kind of primative and cumbersome response file system which I've found often gives random results depending on what the weather is like. Is there a better way of getting the client onto the workstations without having to mess around editing RSP's?
Sorry for posing such potentially dumb questions
James

Q1-Is the Oracle 8 client fully supported by XP SP2?AFAIK Oracle 8 products are no longer supported. Use 9i client instead.
Anyway here is link to certification matrix: http://www.oracle.com/technology/support/metalink/index.html
Or even better still, can I install the client on one of the shared volumes on the server...I guess this won't working. Install Client on each machine and share only tnsnames.ora, or you could resolving tnsnames from OID (LDAP) server.
Is there a better way of getting the client onto the workstations without having to mess around editing RSP's?You could make manual install and record the response file. That responsfile you could use on other machines. You don't need edit anything. Sorry, I can't see anything primitive and cumbersome on RSP. You can choose manual installation or using responsfile, there is not other option.

Using TOAD 7.6.0.11 with Oracle Client 10g (Release 2)

So far, I've been using Oracle Client 9i.
I decided to install Oracle Client 10g and thus copied 9i's tnsnames.ora over to 10g. The problem is when I fire up TOAD. It doesn't show the 10g client in the drop down menu nor in the Oracle Home Editor button. It only shows 9i (i.e., ias_home)
How do I make 10g visible to TOAD?

Oracle Client x86 on Windows 7 x64

Buenas,
No tuve problemas al instalar el Oracle Client de 64bits en mi windows 7, pero cuando configuraba el PL SQL Development me surgieron un error, como el PLSQL es de 32bit y el Oracle Client de 64 no me detectaba el Oracle_home x ende tampoco oci.dll.
La solucion seria instalar un Oracle Client de 32bit en Windows, pero cuando instalo me sale los siguientes errores:
- Incompatibilidad con el sistema operativo.
- Configuracion del Oracle Asistente.
Es decir la instalacion termina con errores.
Alguna solucion para esto.
Traslate Google:
Good,
I had no problems installing the 64-bit Oracle Client on my Windows 7, but when setting up the SQL PL Development came to me a mistake, as is PLSQL Oracle Client 32bit and 64 did not detect the ORACLE_HOME x thus not oci.dll .
The solution would be to install a 32bit Oracle Client on Windows, but when I install I get the following errors:
- Incompatible with the operating system.
- Oracle Configuration Wizard.
That is the installation terminates with errors.
Any solution for this.

Solucion:
Editar C:\client\stage\prereq\client\refhost.xml
Y agregar:
<CERTIFIED_SYSTEMS>

Oracle client

Hi,
We have a windows server (2008 R2) which requires both 32 and 64 bit oracle client installs.
Theory is 2 different accounts on this machine will run various 3rd party services - some require 32 bit, some 64 bit, each service will run under a different account on the server (e.g account32 will run the services requiring oracle 32 bit) and account64 will run the services requiring 64 bit.
With regards the install, shoule we install oracle 32 bit client using account32 and login separately with account64 to install oracle 64 bit client?
Oracle version 11.2.0.3
Thanks

ThanksDoes not really matter. what matters is that the applications can access the require oracle clients executables and files. make sure the paths are properly set.
On my laptop..I have two oracle client(32 and 64). just to encourage you
But to be more safe: "install oracle 32 bit client using account32 and login separately with account64 to install oracle 64 bit client"

Changing culture of Oracle client

Hi,
We recently had to re-install our production oracle-client (due to harddrive failure). We installed a new Oracle client (10g) and everything went right back up quite fast.
but...
I belive the new client was installed with a diffrent culture/globalization-settings than the orignal one. Can I some how change this setting? For instance; a query used to result in a value like (in sweden we use commas, not periods for decimal values) :
7,2%
now comes out
7,2.0%
Using that perticular query on the machine where the oracle server is installed still result in the correct(first) result.
Can anyone help me with this?
/D

Hi,
Try this
Environment level This way will effect only client that uses this environment
Terminal session
(Multi-user environment such as telnet)
In UNIX environment, set the environment variable as follows:
In born, korn shell
$NLS_LANG=THAI_THAILAND.TH8TISASCII; export NLS_LANG
Win95/NT/2000 client
1. Run regedit, Registry window will appears
2. Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
3. Select SOFTWARE
4. Select ORACLE
5. Select NLS_LANG
Type the NLS_LANG and then enter the value THAI_THAILAND.TH8TISASCII
Use your appropriate "NLS_LANG" the above one for example.
