Newbee 10g Install problem - additonal info

Hello - I am a small scale independent contractor and brand new to the world of Oracle after 15 years in the MS/Sybase camp. Former co-worker of mine told me to check out 10g and I am blown away. Please have patience with me because I am a complete neophyte with Oracle.
Now I have a problem: Installed 10g server on Windows 2003 server standard edition running MS IIS 6 - worked great, first time, opened server database home page, activated hr user etc , accessed with clients using SqlDeveloper, applications with ADO provider, created new logins, databases etc. Everything great.
But next day, I did some maintenance on the 2003 server, un-installed MSSql Server instance and some old apps and registry entries, etc. Subsequently, I was unable to connect to the Oracle 10g server instance, although the Oracle server service was running - accessing database home page got "page not found" error , no connectivity to clients etc. I re-ran 10g server install and clicked on "repair" - repair ran, everything was back - all's well. But every time I reboot that machine, connectivity to 10g is lost again. I re-ran 10g server install and clicked on "repair" - repair ran, everything was OK again. Did about 5 times - couldn't get it working. I checked everything I know about - all Oracle services,firewalls, IIS security etc, DNS, etc. Finally after losing patience and a lot of random trial and error, playing with DNS, services, IIS security etc, client connectivity seems to have come back to life - I reboot 2003 server and 10g connectivity to clients etc. is fine. Services are running in SCM always.
This is the error message from sqldeveloper on client when trying to connect to server
"An error was encountered performing the requested operation:
Listener refused the connection with the following error: ORA12505 - TNS listener does not currently know of SID given in the connect descriptor. The connect descriptor give was 198.162.1.191:1521:ex
vendor code 0"
from sql*plus command line on server after login, following message displays:
ORA-01034A: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist.
But I'm not sure what caused the problem and how I managed to fix it! And now it has returned again - interrmittent at seeming random intervals. Any help or clues on this mystery would be most appreciated. What went wrong? How did I fix it? How can I reproduce this behavior so I know how to avoid it and fix the deployment again should this happen.
Thanks

Well, first I have the find out where those logs are - I have about 3 hours of experience with Oracle at this point.

  • Can anyone help with 10g install problem?

    Hi there
    I have two problems:
    1. When I try to install 10g on Windows 2003 Ent Server the installer fails with "installation failed" verify enough space, 45mb, in c:\..blah... I have 30gig free on c:\ yet the installer continues to fail. I have also run a scan on the disk for bad sectors etc. I've found a few forum comments but no solution. Any ideas? The exact message is:
    "Error writing to directory c:\docume~1\admin\..' Please ensure that the directory is writable and has at least 45mb of disk space. Installation cannot continue'
    2. I have succesfully installed 10g on XP Pro SP2 however when I launch the em I am presented with:
    "The database status is currently unavailable. It is possible that the database is in mount or nomount state. Click 'Startup' to obtain the current status and open the database. If the database cannot be opened, click 'Perform Recovery' to perform an appropriate recovery operation"
    How do I fix this? I tried various options with no success?
    Thanks
    Ben

    After modifying the listeners.ora file to include the SID I was able to succesfully connect (see below).
    SQL> connect sys/<password>@scratch:1521/ora01 as sysdba
    Connected.
    SQL> shutdown immediate
    Database closed.
    Database dismounted.

    =(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=157.58.52.20)(PORT=1521)))
    OK (10 msec)
    However, when I go into launch the EM console via IE, I am continually presented with the following:
    The database status is currently unavailable. It is possible that the database is in mount or nomount state. Click 'Startup' to obtain the current status and open the database. If the database cannot be opened, click 'Perform Recovery' to perform an appropriate recovery operation.
    I am quite confused now. Am I missing something?
    Thanks.

  • Oracle VM Server 2.2 Install Problems (Management Info Screen Skipped)?

    Hi,
    I am new to Oracle VM Server and I basically following the install guide to install the server on a spare machine we have in the office (a relatively new Dell with an i7 processor and 8gb memory) so we can evaluate it and play with it a bit.
    When running the install from a bootable CD everything goes as expected and documented in the install guide up to point number "11. The Oracle VM Management Interface screen is displayed." - when we install it skips these screens and jumps directly to step "15. TimeZone Selection."
    We continued with the install but when the VM Server comes up we have no network enabled?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Bren

    Hi BOF,
    if the network screen is not displayed during installation, the network card could not correctly be identified, and it may be that the network drivers are not installed.
    If you are lucky, the network is still detected and working, but not with the correct drivers.
    Did you use OVM Server 2.2. or the latest 2.2.1 (which includes some more network card detections?).
    Otherwise I recommended getting the correct network drivers for the card and installing them after the server is running.
    Keep in mind, that OVM Server 2.2 is based on OEL 5.3 (respectivly RHEL 5.3) if you are looking for the correct drivers.
    Maybe this thread on realtek network cards can give you some more information:

  • Forms 10g installed and running on Windows Vista

    <font color=0000FF>Update 12-Dec-2008: </font>Oracle has published NOTE 559067.1 -- How to Install Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 - hence 10.1.2.3 - on Windows Vista, 24-OCT-2008 with some installation help.
    <font color=0000FF>Update 07-July-2008: </font> Added text at the bottom showing how to find patchsets for Forms 10g.
    <font color=0000FF>Update 29-May-2008: </font> This thread was started in November, 2007.  In January, 2008, Oracle released Patch 3 for Forms 10g, which makes Forms 10g compatible with Windows Vista.  As time permits I'll try to keep the information in this post up to date.   Updated information will be inserted <font color=0000FF>as blue text.
    </font>
    <font color=0000FF>Original message begins here:</font>
    This is a second thread I am posting to outline the steps I have used to install Forms on a Windows Vista Home Basic laptop.   The other thread describes installing Forms 6i:
          Forms 6i installed and running on Windows Vista
    Please read through the initial part of that post for the background.  I realize Oracle has not certified Forms 10g to run on Vista, but the time has come for my associates and I to upgrade our old computers to new desktop/laptop platforms, and I would hate to acquire XP machines and be stuck with them for the next 5 years.  <font color=0000FF>(Note: Since first posting this message, Oracle has certified Forms 10g Patch 3 (version 10.1.2.3.0) to run on Vista)</font>  So after another person informed me that he had Forms installed and running on Vista, I went ahead and bought one.  I found that as long as I set the compatibility mode to run Forms programs as Windows XP (and a few other changes), Forms 6i and 10g run quite satisfactorily.
    <font color=0000FF>Update 29-Jan-2008: </font> Unfortunately, it turns out that the Forms 10g Builder running on Vista <font color=0000FF>had</font> a major flaw:   If you try to develop a form, the Builder will crash if you try to compile a procedure that calls another procedure in the form that has errors.  The problem is reported and described in this thread:  Error compiling a form under Vista
    <font color=0000FF>Update 12-Mar-2008: </font> Installing Patch 3 on Vista does not help with this problem -- the Builder still crashes in the same situation.
    <font color=0000FF>Update 25-July-2008: </font> Applying Patch 7047034 has corrected the problem.   See this link within this thread:   Forms 10g: Installing Patch 7047034 on Windows Vista
    Webutil note:  I am stuck in a Forms 6i client/server world, so all my forms must run in that environment.   Therefore I have not used any Webutil software, and I do not know whether that part will run under Vista.
    Internet Explorer note:  On Windows Vista, IE CANNOT be used to run the Web Forms runtime.  It crashes immediately when you try to run a form.  Instead, I can use either Firefox (Firefox 2, Firefox 3.0 Crashes with Forms 10g) or Netscape, as long as they are set to disable java.  <font color=0000FF>[ Correction:   IE7 on Vista now runs the Forms 10g forms.   You just need to add "?config=jpi" to the browser URL when starting the Web Forms session.   More IE/Vista info: [url=http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=642973]Vista JInitiator Problem ]</font>
    The Oracle Developer Suite download page:
        http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ids/index.html
    Oracle Developer Suite Installation Guide:
        http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25016_07//doc/dl/core/B16012_04/toc.htm
    The steps below are those I followed to install Forms 10g (version 10.1.2.0.2)
    I.  Preliminary system changes in Windows
    When I started installing, I got the following error message:    Install has encountered an error while
        attempting to verify your virtual memory settings.
        Please verify that the sum of the initial sizes of
        the paging files is at least 256 MB.To fix this:  Go to Control Panel, System and Maintenance, View amount of RAM and processor speed (under "System"),
    Advanced system settings (in left "Tasks" column), Advanced tab, Settings (under "performance"), Advanced tab:
    Virtual Memory shows a "Total paging file size for all drives: 2337MB.
    Click "change", Uncheck "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives"
    Click "custom size:", set Initial size to: 2048, Max to 4096
    Click set button, then OK, get message:The changes you have made require you to restart your computer before
       they can take effect.Restart the computer.
    II.  Installing Forms 10g
    1.  Download two files from Oracle:
        ds_windows_x86_101202_disk1.zip (626,122,752 bytes)
        ds_windows_x86_101202_disk2.zip (236,880,881 bytes)
    2a.  Before extracting, it is a good idea to shut down any virus protection software.  It can sometimes prevent some files from being created.
    2b.  Extract both into the C:\oracle directory, as disk1 and disk2.
    3.  Using Windows Explorer, change the properties of setup.exe in the C:\oracle\disk1 folder.  (In windows explorer, right click, properties, Compatibility tab.)   Change the compatibility to run as Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
    4.  Right click setup.exe and click "Run as administrator"
    5.  Select "Installation type" = Complete (1.11 GB)
    6.  Received this message:Windows Firewall has blocked this program from
    accepting incoming network connections.  If you
    unblock this program, it will be unblocked on all
    public networks that you connect to.
    C:\users\steve\appdata\local\temp\orainstall...
      2007-10-29_11-59-08am\jre\1.4.2\bin\javaw.exeI clicked "Unblock"
    7.  Received this message:  "Provide outgoing mail server information"  I entered the smtp mail server that I use.
    8.  A summary screen displayed showing 274 products under New Installations.
    I clicked the Install button.
    9.   Received this message:  You can find a log of this install session at:
    C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs\installActions2007.....log
    10.  The installation completed.  Installed products shows Forms 10.1.2.0.2
    III.  After the install completed
    1.  Create a shortcut to the Forms 10 Builder on the Desktop.
    On the shortcut line, after the .exe, add *userid=userxxx/pwxxx@orcl* so Builder automatically logs into 10g database.  If you do step 4 below (creating an easily-accessible folder to use for your forms) change the "Start in" path on the shortcut so it points to that folder.  Otherwise, Forms Builder will not find referenced objects and PLL libraries when it opens a form.  Also do the same on the Start, All Programs shortcut for the Forms Builder.
    Edit:  After applying Patch 3, the following steps are not necessary.
    Set its compatibility to Windows XP.
    Set checkbox: "Run this program as as an administrator."  (Without this, FormBuilder will NOT open a PLL library.)
    Click the "Show settings for all users" and change values there.
    2.  Copy "Start OC4J Instance" icon to desktop.
    Set its compatibility to Windows XP.
    The first time it runs, I got a Windows popup to unblock program named Java.  I clicked "Unblock".
    3.  tnsnames.ora:
    Rename C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
    to:  tnsnames_orig.ora
    If you created a tnsnames.ora file for Forms 6i, just copy it to the path above.  If not, do this:
    Create a new tnsnames.ora file, copying entries old file on my old laptop, which contains all the connections I use.
    Delete the old laptop entry, replace with new entry for the new local ORCL connection on new laptop from tnsnames file renamed from the c:\oracle\... ...\10.2.0\db_1\ path.
    4.  Optional:  Create an easily accessible folder to store fmb files:
    C:\users\steve\.1\fmb10
    You don't really want to keep drilling into C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\forms, and then find your .fmb file among the several dozen oracle-supplied files.
    To create a folder named .1, you have to open a CMD.exe (Windows DOS) window, and type the Make Directory command:
    MD .1
    That will create the folder within the current directory -- mine defaults to C:\users\steve
    Note:  If you also need to use Forms 6i like me, DO NOT EVER open a .fmb file in the Forms 10 Builder from the Forms 6i folder.  If you compile it, or even worse, save the .fmb, Forms 6i *cannot ever* access the file.  Instead, always use the File Manager (Windows Explorer) to copy the fmb from the fmb6 folder into the fmb10 location.
    5.  Change the Forms 10g Default.env file using a text editor.
    This file replaces all the settings originally written to the Windows Registry (GREAT idea, Oracle!  I hate the registry.)  No more Regedit.  The default.env file is located at: (DevSuiteHome_1 path)\forms\server\default.env
    Locate line with:  FORMS_PATH= and add:
        ;C:\users\steve\.1\fmb10
    Add a new line:
    FORMS_MMAP=FALSE
    The above allows compiling an fmx while the form is running.
    Add a new line:
    FORMS_ROWLOCK_OPTIMIZATION=FALSE
    (This fixes Oracle bug number 3949854, which prevents automatic skipping if the same value is typed over another value. TAR 4806199.993 Automatic Skip failure...)  See bug 4068896
    Add a new Line:
    FORMS_RESTRICT_ENTER_QUERY=False
    This allows use of Query-Where window in enter query, after entering a colon in any input field.  Without this, Forms returns FRM-40367: Invalid criteria in field nnn in example record.  Oracle shut it down to prevent "sql injection" attacks.
    6.  Jiniator setup:
    Run file jinit.exe in C:\oracle\DevSuiteHime_1\jinit\jinit.exe
    It installs Jinitiator 1.3.1.22.
    I installed it in C:\oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.22\
    For Firefox, make sure a copy of file \bin\NPJinit13122.dll resides in   C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins.
    For Netscape, the path is:  C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator 9\plugins
    7.   Browser settings
    See the note above about using Firefox 2 and not Firefox 3!
    In Firefox 2 go to:  Tools-> Options-> Content
    Uncheck the "Enable Java" checkbox
    --Firefox terminates if this is not done!
    Note:  After my system automatically installed updates to either java or Firefox, re-check the "Enable Java" setting.  I am suspicious that one of these installs re-enables java in the browser.
    Also note:  some web sites cannot display properly if java is disabled.  Example:  U.S. time website: http://www.time.gov   Use Internet Explorer to view these.
    In Netscape make the same changes as Firefox.  Without disabling java, it also terminates when you try to run a form.
    Creating a url to use in the browser:
    Try this:
        http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet
    If it does not work, change the 8889 port number as follows:
    Open file:  C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\install\portlist.ini
    Note the number in line:
    Oracle Developer Suite HTTP port = 8889
    Use the number as the port number.
    You can also change the 127.0.0.1 to the computer name:
    Control Panel, System and Maintenance, See the name of this computer (under "System").  Mine is "steve-PC"
    So the alternate URL is:     http://steve-PC:8889/forms/frmservlet
    To try out the URL, start the OC4J instance set up above.  Then start either Netscape or Firefox, and enter the URL.  You should get a welcome screen.
    If the above URL works, start up the Forms Builder, and open Edit, Preferences.  On the General tab, uncheck the "Build before running" check box (optional).  On the Runtime tab, set the "Application Server URL to the url above.
    To run a real form, add this to the URL after frmservlet, (with no spaces):
        ?form={formname}&userid={userxxx}/{passwordyyy}@{connect-string}
    but replace the parts in curly braces with the appropriate values.  Example:
        http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet?form=ABC&userid=abc123/zyx@orcl
    Setting up Forms Builder to directly run a form in the browser:
    Run the Forms Builder.  Go to Edit, Preferences, Runtime tab.
    Set the Application Server URL to:
        http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet
    (or use whatever URL string you developed above)
    Set the Web Browser Location to:
        "C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator 9\navigator.exe"
    (or an equivalent to run the Firefox browser).
    8.  FORMSWEB.CFG file changes
    The file is located at:
    C:\ORA_DS_101202\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\server\formsweb.cfg
    I changed the following two lines in the file, but these are my personal preferences:
    separateFrame=true
    lookandfeel=Generic
    9.  FMRWEB.RES file changes
    For Oracle help:  Enabling Key Mappings
    The file fmrweb.res defines actions (triggers that run) when a function key is pressed while running Forms.  The one released has unix-style key mapping, but I prefer keys originally mapped for Windows PC Forms users. There is a fmrpcweb.res in the same folder that can be renamed to fmrweb.res.
    In the C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\forms path, I renamed fmrweb.res to fmrweb_orig.res.
    I have a file that I prefer to use, so I put it into the folder as fmrweb.res. The contents are listed below. It is organized so the most important keys are listed alphabetically at the top (URFD column is the sort column), followed by a group of less-important keys.  These are keys that are available to users, but they either would not use, or are disabled within most forms.  The URFD column in the second set starts with a hex A0 character, which is a high-order space, so collates after normal alphabetic characters.  (Note: If you want to copy the text below and use it, the hex A0 character has been changed by the forum software to a space. So you would need to use a text editor with hexadecimal character capabilities to replace the space with the original character. )
    My file has special keys defined for F2 (I use it for a debugging Key-F2 trigger in my forms), and a "Cursor to Home" F12 function. All the rest are pretty much the same as in the released fmrpcweb.res file, only mine are organized alphabetically on the URFD column.
    The Web Forms fmrweb.res file is editable using any programming editor (NOT MS Word!!!). The old Client/Server key mapping file, fmrusw.res, could only be changed using the Oracle Terminal program (and it is a pain to use).
    Here is the main part of my fmrweb.res file:#

    I followed your instructions and installed Developer Suite 10G on Windows Vista Home Premium edition. I have Oracle 11G DB running on the same machine.
    Two points, Steve:
    1. When I tried to set the maximum virtual memory to 6110 an error message displayed from Windows and told me that I can't set the maximum virtual memory to more than 4096. I set it to 4090 and it worked and I got nothing wrong during the installation process.
    2. After installing JInitiator and disabling Java on Firefox I called the http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet page and everything seemed to be OK because the Oracle Forms Services logo appeared and then a successful installation message appeared , but as I clicked (ok) to continue a gray screen appeared inside the browser (like the one displayed when you try to run a Java applet inside a browser) and then I wait to death till something appears but sadly nothing. I just get a blank gray screen inside my Firefox browser.
    Do you have any idea what to do to solve the problem?
    Regards

  • Missing isqlplus.conf in 10g install?

    Hello
    I have installed 10g database including client and companion CD onto a Linux machine (Red Hat AS 3). All seems to work OK but I cannot get iSQL*plus to work via Enterprise Manager. The sign-on screen comes up but when I try to conenct to <hostname>:5560 I get a connection refused message.
    The isqlplus application starts ok (isqlplusctl start). I cannot find however a file isqlplus.conf which seems to be relevant, there is a file isqlplus.ini which is a windows file?
    Hase anyone managed to get a browser conenction into isqlplus in 10g?

    Problem solved!
    CJJ thank you for the reference which was extremely valuable.
    The problem was that issuing the command "isqlplusctl start" as the Oracle user didn't actually start the service despite the fact that the message saying that it had started was written to the terminal! I was puzzled as to why there was nothing written to the application log until I saw it was owned by root. If I issue the command as root however then it works fine and I can access iSQL*plus from within Enterprise Manager.
    David hope this work for you!
    Thanks again CJJ
    Regards...Chris

  • Openmotif error during 10g install.

    I am trying to install a Oracle 10g database on top of a RHEL 3 operating system. The operating system is fully patched. I think that may be the problem, but would like some verification on that. The openmotif version listed is openmotif-2.2.3-3.RHEL3. Install is looking for openmotif-2.2.2-16. It, of course, fails. I assume I must somehow rollback to the previous openmotif version or is there a newer download of 10g that will work with my current version of openmotif? Another machine has 10g installed on it, but I know it was installed before the most recent openmotif version was installed. It is still working even with the new openmotif. Thanks for any help. I went to the Red Hat Network site and looked at openmotif packages available and it does not list the 2.2.2-16 version as available.

    I have exactly the same problem under Windows XP. There seems to be a bug that looks very simular to the error we have, and there is a patch for it (bug 3555863), but the patch does not work, because you need to execute clscfg again during the patch execution, but clscfg craches whenever I try to execute it.
    So, I do not know a workaround yet. Did you find out anything in the meantime?

  • OS 9 Install problem on imac G3

    hello all,
    i have an OS install problem on my imac . I just finished formatting the drive . the drive is
    paritioned :
    1st partition = HD1: 5.5 Gb
    2nd partition = HD2 : 2.5 Gb
    3rd partition = HD3 : 110+ Gb
    Then, in order to save some time ( i thought ) , i tried directly install os 9 from an imac
    DV CD , on HD1 : i thought i d be quicker so i would have to start with os 8.5 then upgrade to 8.6 and etc .
    that turned out to be a bad idea. the system install warned me it couldnt install Air port because the hardware wasnt compatible . it gave me two options : either ignore this message or quit . i chose ignore : again certainly a bad choice .
    After the install was finished , the mac wouldnt start on HD1 . the sytem install is apparently incomplete ,or anycase it doesnt work .
    i then installed os 8.5 from original imac tray load install CD on HD2 , and it works fine .
    now the question is : what should i do with my bad os9 system ? i need an operating system on this partition. perhaps i can trash it and reinstall mac os8.5 on it ? i hope there is a way to get out of this without formatting the drive again .
    thanks for any advice .

    about the os9 CD : it is a retail verson , only not of the same imac model .
    That is not a retail version of OS 9. A retail version of OS 9 has no dependencies on any model of Mac. You have a machine specific disc which probably won't work with your iMac.
    1/ i dont know how to reformat a partition without formatting the entire drive . perhaps you can explain .
    In OS X you use Disk Utility and only select the partition that you want to reformat. It has been ages since I used OS 8 so I'm not sure if it is even possible using "Drive Setup".

  • Nano install problems. Works on USB 1.1!

    Twelve months ago I went through the getting an IPOD to install properly problems with my son's IPOD, on his all singing all dancing new PC. Only finally resolved this by installing via the firewire port rather than USB. Therefore it was with some trepidation that I recently got a Nano for my wife's birthday, but hey I thought someone like Apple would have got their act together in the interim and installing should be straight forward. Have they? NO! Tried installing the Nano on my aging Pentium III which has a USB 2.0 PCI card, and for which all other devices plugged into it worked OK. Couldn't even get Windows to properly recognise it "A problem occurred during harware install your device may not be working properly". Tried Apple's suggestions and other users suggestions all to no avail. Firewire install option is not a possibility with Nano, but finally thought why not try one of the USB 1.1 ports on my aging computer, and guess what it installed first time and works without any problems. Transfer rate is not to bad either 850 songs in 1hr 10min. The only slightly different thing I did (which some other users also say) is not to re-boot the computer at the end of installation when it prompts you to and start using Itunes straight away and do some downloading then re-boot later.
    Not much comfort to users with newer PC's but if you have an older computer with a USB 1.1 port and have install problems, try it as it may work for you as well.
    Like every one else with install problems on PC's I say "come on Apple" individually or together with Microsoft please get this sorted out. My view of Apple was that they have great products (still true) that are easy to use (still true) and install without problems (patently not true).
    Pentium III 800   Windows XP  

    Gosh, I have tried this many times. Over several days. I have also reset the shuffle, which as far as I can tell, consists of turning it on and then off.
    Last night, it started updating the music via the keyboard USB 1.1, which I know takes forever. Then it lost communications and quit.

  • Wireless Mouse and Keyboard Install Problem

    I am trying to install my wireless keyboard and mouse onto my Mac OS X 10.3.9. My dad had this computer before me and had the mouse and keyboard paired and working. After it was shipped to me, I attempted to pair these again with no luck. THe bluetooth won't recognize either and if i try and run the KeyboardandMouse.pkg as instructed, the icon simply isn't there when I insert the disk. I've attempted to pair using the system preferences, but it cannot locate either the keyboard and mouse. Yes, I do have new batteries installed and the lights do blink when switched on. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Hello again:
    Try trashing the BT preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restarting.
    If that does not work (although it will take you a bit of time), I think I would try an archive and install:

  • Running Oracle 9i client code against an Oracle 10g install on PC

    On Unix I am able to run Oracle 9i client code against an Oracle 10g install by setting ORACLE_HOME to the Oracle 10g install location and then creating a symbolic link (example: ln -fs libclntsh.so.10.1 libclntsh.so.9.0).
    On PC (in particular XP SP2) I want to do something similar without using "junctions" or "junction points". Is there a way to set an environment variable or ini file to have my 9i client code point to the right libraries? I keep getting an error saying that my client code will not run due to "orasql9.dll" not being found. The "orasql10.dll" is installed on my machine.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    You might want to check metalink doc,
    Client / Server / Interoperability Support Between Different Oracle Versions
    Doc ID: Note:207303.1
    Even your application built on 9i, doesn't mean it will not work with 10g database. From what I can see, running 9i executable under 10g installation to create mixed blood breed will do more harm than good. Not only it's not supported but also the outcome is unpredictable.

  • Logic Studio Install Problems

    Purchased Logic Studio a couple weeks ago.  The first set I recieved would not install correctly and it errored out several times regardless of how I went about installing it.  Contacted Apple Support and they indicated I may have a bad set of disks so I returned my set and recieved a new set yesterday.  Install problems continue but now different.  Orginal set woudl load a coiuple of disks then error out.  This set will laod the install disk then when asked to insert the Audio Content 1 disk the computer will spin th edisk around a few times the spit it out.  Tried several times and even tried inserting other content disks.  I've read some of the conent here and some mention a possibel bad DVD Drive but I do no think my DVD Drive is the problem since after trying the Logic Studio set I successfully installed FrameForge.
    When I attempted to install the first set of disks last week I was able to select all the options, SoundTrack Pro, Mainstage, etc.  On this set my SoundTrack Pro option is grayed out and I cannot select it to load.  I read here last week, when the first set would not load, to remove everything associated with Logic Studio and try again, which I did.  Is it possible there are remneants remaining somewhere on my system that is disallowing the SoundTrack install this time?
    My system config is:
    Processor: 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory: 16GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048MB
    Software: Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)
    1TB Internal SATA Disk (This is the drive I am attempting to load on)
    256GB Flash Storage
    12TB (RAID 5 Configure to 6TB) Pegasus External
    This evening I will call Apple Support again, but any advice from the audience is much appreciated.

  • Solaris 8 Install Problem - Partition(s)

    First, I am a relative "newbie" when it comes to SUN Solaris and System Adminstration, though I know enough UNIX to be dangerous (read "get me into trouble" - hahaha).
    I tried to do an "upgrade" to the O/S (2.7) on my Ultra 5, but when doing an "initial install", the system will only allow me to set the partitions/slices manually at the cylinder level. Any attempts to do so have failed, as I keep getting an "overlapping cylinder" error message, regardless of how I try to setup root, /usr, etc. The Solaris 8 O/S setup swap as follows:
    Starting - 3275 Size - 1110
    FYI, I was trying to do the install using the Solaris 8 CDROM, Solaris build date 2/02.
    Overall, I appear to be having a lot of issues with the Seagate Medalist ST34321A (4.1 Gbyte) drive that came with my Sun Ultra 5. The drive appears to work correctly, but an attempts to "wipe out" the drive (reformat) have not met with success.
    Any suggestions anyone can provide regarding the install problem would be appreciated.

    If you are trying to Upgrade to Sol 8 it is strongly suggested that you do not use the Installation CD. Use CD 1 of 2 with a boot cdrom. You will have to answer the sysid questions and then should get prompted for Initial Install or Upgrade. If you do not get the Upgrade prompt then there is a problem with your original Sol 7 system. Things like nfs mounts in vfstab, links to /var/sadm/patch, pkg or install/contents.
    An Upgrade should not be asking you to lay out filesystems. It should use your existing ones.
