Nslookup fails were as tnsping works - Oracle Client on Linux 4.0

Hello Gurus,
I am able to connect to Oracle DB on the Linux server and not from Oracle client on Linux box. I have installed Oracle Client windows version on my laptop and same release and version for Linux on Linux box.
When I try to connect to the DB from Oracle Client installed on Linux box give me ORA-012545:Connect failed because target host or object does not exists.
I have tried tnsping and the server name (hostname) ,IP and DB of the server it works.
When I tried nslookup servername (hostname) , IP and DB it fails.
Anyone over there please help me out. This is something silly happening works on Windows Oracle client and not on Linux Oracle Client. One thing to do add Linux Oracle Client has Virtual IP to it. ITs host file has an entry for local host as follows : 127.0.0.1 localhost.local.domain localhost.
Also when I tried to create netservice names using netca it's just clean.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance
Thanks
Shiva

Applying patchset 10.2.0.3 to 10.2.0.1 Oracle client on Linux

Hi folks,
I want to apply patchset 10.2.0.3 to a 10.2.0.1 Oracle "Client" on Linux (both 32bit and 64bit). So, I started with the 64bit Linux.
1. installed the 10.2.0.1 Client,
2. downloaded the patchset 10.2.0.3 (5337014) for 64bit Linux,
3. read the documentation for the 5337014 patchset
I also downloaded the patchset 5601428 (specified in document 412160.1 referenced in the patchset document), and patchsets 4689959 and 5632264 (specified in document 396671.1 - which is Time Zone related).
I understand that if I do apply the 10.2.0.3 patchset to a 10.2.0.1 database server installation, then I need to apply the patchsets 5601428 and 4689959 (or 5632264) but for just applying the patchset 10.2.0.3 (5337014) to a 10.2.0.1 client, do I still need to apply 4689959 and/or 5632264 ?
will simply (only) applying 10.2.0.3 (5337014) will do the job on the Oracle Client ?
I have done this so many times for the Database Server but haven't done it for the Oracle Client - did search the forums and Metalink but did not find anything specific to applying patchsets to Oracle Client installations.
Thank you and Best regards
Zafer

Somebody replied my query on Metalink telling me applying the patchset is the same as the server and to follow the installation manual instructions :) Oracle patchset installation help file (document) could be clearer for the Client installation (as they did include explicit sections for RAC's, etc in the same doc).

Oracle Clients on Linux only

I just want to have the Oracle clients (sqlplus, sqlload, sql*net

I've installed Oracle Client 8.1.7 on a Linux machine. I want to connect to a Database on a Oracle Server, which is installed on a Win NT machine.
During installation I gave the name, host, port(1521) of a database, which was promptly registerd in ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora file.
When I try connecting to the database, I get the TNS Error :
could not resolve service name
What is the problem? Even tnsping on the host gives a similar message :
Failed to resolve ......
Please help....thanx....
null can you do a ping (not tnsping) on your windows machine from Linux?
If you copy the same tnsnames.ora entry over to your windows machine and try connecting to your database
using Windows client (using this copied tnsnames.ora entry), can you connect sucessfully or you get the
same error message again?

Failed to install 64-bit Oracle client on Windows 8.1

I just tried to install the 64-bit client on Windows 8.1 with 16GB of ram.
First of all, I got the INS-13001 warning that my environment does not meet minimum requirements, even though I was just installing a client!
I chose to ignore the warning and installed anyway.
It doesn't look like the install completed successfully.
For one thing, it did not create a bin folder.
Also when I tried to remove it using the OUI, I was told to use the deinstall utility in the deinstall folder, which is not there either.
How am I supposed to remove this seemingly incomplete installation?

Actually, what I was trying to do was get a serious answer rather than a smart-a$$ response.
If you've used software a little, you would realize that saying something is not yet "formally supported" does not mean that there is not a way to make it work. TONS of software does not yet claim it will work with Windows 7, but somehow magically it does. Possibly with problems or issues to workaround, but functional.
I was asking, if on my development machine, there is a way to make the current client work.
In any event - it turns out installing the 32-bit client rather than the 64-bit client does seem to make most things work, at least well enough for my current needs.
Thank you for your very informative response anyway.

Graphical Oracle Client for Linux

Hello,
I'm used to work with pl/SQL Peveloper at work but at home I use linux. I wonder if there is a similar powerfull graphical client for oracle that runs on linux.
I need at last the following features:
-view/edit data in tables
-create/test views
-create/test stored procedures
-create tables using diagrams or vice versa (nice to have)
Any suggestions? What is the best linux software for that purpose?
David

And JDeveloper is another. (Although I'd call it power-hungry rather than powerful ;) )

Oracle Client for Linux

We are in desperate need to install the ProC precompiler and accompanying libraries on a Linux Redhat 7.3 system. I cannot seem to locate the software on any of our current packages, and am finding it hard to locate them on the oracle web-site. All 'n need to do is connect a .pc program, written in ProC, to an existing Oracle server on a different server/platform.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as we are in a desperate need to implement this as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance.

Response from caragh cooney.
The ProC client libraries are part of the Oracle Server distribution only and not available standalone. The
currently available server releases are not certified on RedHat 7.3 and Oracle has no plans for such
certification on RedHat 7.3.
Thanks!

Installing Latest Oracle Client & ODT for Windows 7 64-bit

I have a Windows 7 64-bit. I would think that using 32-bit Java, 32-bit Oracle Client and 32-bit ODAC would work just fine on this operating system. However, I had no luck getting it to run. Here is what I did and a few reasons why I prefer to never work with Oracle products:
Installed 32-bit JDK/JRE (1.6 Update 25)
Installed 32-bit Oracle Client (11g R2) Home 1
Tested connectivity from SQL Developer successfully
Installed 32-bit ODT (11g R3) to Home 1 (installer noted upgrades and new installs)
Failed connectivity from all things windows (ODBC, ADO, ADO.Net)
Uninstalled 32-bit ODT
Failed to uninstall 32-bit Oracle Client Home 1 (oraparam.ini file missing among other issues)
Installed 32-bit Oracle Client (11g R2) Home 2
Failed to uninstall 32-bit Oracle Client Home 1 (told to use deinstall tool)
Failed to uninstall 32-bit Oracle Client Home 2 (told to use deinstall tool)
Failed to run uninstall tool in Home 1 (told to download standalone deinstall tool)
Uninstalled 32-bit Oracle Client Home 2 (completed successfuly with errors - seriously?)
Uninstalled 32-bit Oracle Client Home 1 (completed successfully, but couldn't delete folder)
Oracle.DataAccess and Oracle.Web are still installed in GAC. Uninstall attempts fail (access denied)
Installed 32-bit Oracle Client (11g R2) Home 1
Tested connectivity from SQL Developer successfully
Tested connectivity from .Net 3.5 successfully (using 32-bit 2.0 dll)
Tested connectivity from .Net 4.0 successfully (using 32-bit 2.0 dll)
Does anyone have any suggestions on getting Oracle Data Tools for Windows to work before I try that again?

I realize ODT uses ODP, but installing release 3 upgraded the .Net 2.0 ODP DLLs (which were installed from the Oracle Client 11g Release 2 install) and added the .Net 4.0 DLLs. After that install everything stopped working from Windows land and then it took the better part of two hours to get it back to what it looked like prior to the install. The other thing weird thing I noticed is that although Oracle.DataAccess is registered in the 2.0 GAC I cannot add a reference that way using VS2010. I have to manually add a reference to the file path. Although it still appears I do not have to have the assembly copied locally to run, so the GAC registration seems to be working in that regard.

SQLplus in Oracle Client

Hi,
I tried to install an 11g oracle client in linux. As I've compared the files with the files when you install using the oracle instant client, I can see that they are almost similar. Now I've setup and tried to run sqlplus and it is working.
I've read that you only need to put a tnsnames.ora file where the client files are located to connect to a database. I did that but when I tried to connect to a database included in the tnsnames.ora file, I get the following error:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
Is there anything that I need to set up?

ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
$ oerr ora 12154
12154, 00000, "TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified"
// *Cause: A connection to a database or other service was requested using
// a connect identifier, and the connect identifier specified could not
// be resolved into a connect descriptor using one of the naming methods
// configured. For example, if the type of connect identifier used was a
// net service name then the net service name could not be found in a
// naming method repository, or the repository could not be
// located or reached.
// *Action:
//   - If you are using local naming (TNSNAMES.ORA file):
//      - Make sure that "TNSNAMES" is listed as one of the values of the
//        NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
//        (SQLNET.ORA)
//      - Verify that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists and is in the proper
//        directory and is accessible.
//      - Check that the net service name used as the connect identifier
//        exists in the TNSNAMES.ORA file.
//      - Make sure there are no syntax errors anywhere in the TNSNAMES.ORA
//        file. Look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters. Errors
//        in a TNSNAMES.ORA file may make it unusable.But you may not need tnsnames.ora : see Using the Easy Connect Naming Method

Oracle 9i client for linux & PHP

I'm looking to connect PHP on my linux server to a remote oracle server running 9i. I have been unsuccessful in finding good documentation on this process, as most people are either using windows or connecting to a local server.
As far as I can tell, you must install the oracle client for linux, then recompile PHP with oracle support. So:
1) Is this the best method to do this, and if so where can I get an oracle client for linux?
2) Is there a location where I can get the oracle extension for PHP without having to recompile PHP?

I believe the extensions are refered to in the php.ini
and need to be setup.
;Windows Extensions
;Note that MySQL and ODBC support is now built in, so no dll is needed for it.
extension=php_oracle.dll
;Don't know if this is needed and whether there is a
;php_oci9.dll
;extension=php_oci8.dll
which can be found by this:
extension_dir = "C:\WINDOWS"
I am trying to perform a similar task, well, sort of. I am running Oracle 9i (9.2.0.1.0) on a Win2003Server machine and do not want to build PHP either.
Please let me know if you find your answer.
Thanks

Hi all,
currently I am facing a situation where I cannot connect to oracle 10g server running on 10.1.0.4 version.
I tried using sql plus and toad (with oracle client 10.1.0.3) but get error during login where I can get a connection.
Error reported by sql plus : Error accessing PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE
Warning: Product user profile information not loaded!
You may need to run PUPBLD.SQL as SYSTEM

Is there any chance that the server can restrict the versions of the clients connecting to it?. Is there any way to locate the current supported clients for the oracle server running. ( I have tested with 10.1.0.4 oracle client and it works fine )
Please advise

cant login into sql plus but can connect to the database

Windows XP is not officially supported for a BOBJ server installation. Can you consider installing BO on a Windows Server machine?

Which oracle client works with both Oracle 11.2.0.2 and BizTalk 2006 R2

Hi there
My Oracle11.2.0.2 is installed on linux server. My Biztalk2006R2 is installed on Windows Server 2003 R2 x64. I have already installed BizTalk Adapter for Oracle on the Biztalk server and now require to install Oracle Client to make Biztalk able to retrieve data from Oracle11.2.0.2 using the oracle client.
From the following link,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa559822%28v=BTS.20%29.aspx
I came to know that the only oracle clients compatible with Biztalk adapter for oracle are as below:
1) Oracle client 8i
2) oracle client 9i
3) oracle client 10i
Now I need to install an oracle client on biztalk server in order to make biztalk talk to oracle and retrieve data from it.
Question1: which of the above clients should i install on biztalk server that is compatible with both Oracle11.2.0.2 as well as Biztalk server 2006 R2?
Question2: How to install and configure this client to make it work correctly?
Please help.. thanks.

Edited by: manibest on 19-Dec-2012 03:27

The Biztalk Adapter interface with Oracle software has information, requirements per referenced document that does not make sense.
E.g. "10i" does not exist and the requirement "Oracle ODBC driver 9.2.0.5.4" means that only 9.2 Client can be used. (Mixing parts from one Database Client product version with another version is not allowed/supported/certified.)
Btw, does that machine happen to have Itanium hardware? (probably no, since you stated x64)
For Oracle's OS requirements, 2003 was certified with/from 9.2.0.3 (and likely also terminal patch set version 9.2.0.8). Not sure about Server 2003 R2, 32 or 64-bit. I'm pretty sure 10.2 was certified on 2003 R2, but the note likely refers to 10.1 versions (before it was known it would be labeled 10g, g for grid replacing the i ).
This FAQ may have some more information: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/windows/faq-100614.html
For Oracle client - server interoperability and certification, there's a support matrix on MOS. See doc id 207303.1.
It seems 9.2 is supported on the wire to operate with 11.2 server, but Client with at least patch set 9.2.0.4 is required.
So, I guess best bet is to find updated requirements.
If you manage to get hold of 9.2.0.5, after verifying that 2003 R2 is ok, then it looks like the puzzle could be put together for a complete picture.
For ease of install, take a look at the Instant Client. (However, there's no 9.2 IC, that type of client install came later)
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-097480.html
Edit;
some corrections, specially about 9.2 version
