ODAC 11g to connect to 9.2 DB

Is it recommended to use the latest ODAC client to connect to a 9.2 DB? My main issue is that I'm developing within Visual Studio 2008, which is supported by the latest ODAC client, so I would prefer to use that one.

You can use the latest ODAC client (11g) with a 9.2 DB server. That is a supported and tested combination, which the ODP.NET documentation indicates.

How to install ODAC 11g 11.1.0.6.21

Hi All,
Appologies if this question has already been answered.
I'm trying to access data from our Oracle 10g database hosted on a Windows 2003 server.
I've downloaded ODAC 11g 11.1.0.6.21.zip onto my client PC.
I've unzipped the package and ran through the installer. You have two options on what to install:
Client or Server. I installed the client. The installation was successful.
What are the next steps to being able to create a project in Visual Studio 2008 that can access Oracle data?
Do I need to copy either a sql.ora or tnslistener on my client, before I can actually access any data?
The documentation then says to run EZSETUP, but reading around I don't need to actually do this!?
Do I need to install anything on the server?
I've added a reference to Oracle.DataAccess and used an Imports statement to import the namespace. When I try create a connection and use the Open method I get an OracleException.
Kind Regards,
Ynyr

What OracleException do you get?
Yes, you need to create a TNSNames.ora entry so the client knows how to connect to the database, or use the EZConnect connect string: //hostname:port/service_name .
You dont need to "install" anything on the server to run an ODP.NET app. But if you're going to use MSDTC distributed transactions you need to run oramtsadmin.sql to create the appropriate objects on the server, if you're goint to use the ASPNET membership provider, etc, you need to run those scripts on the database.

ODAC 11g Beta 11.2.0.1.1 is not working

Hi ,
I am new on ODP.net.
I have oracle 11.1.0.6.0 database and client installed on my computer and i am building a client application using dot net 2010 (4.0 framework ) .
when i download and run ODAC 11g Beta 11.2.0.1.1 and try to connect it is sending error
The type initializer for 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection' threw an exception. when initializing the oracleconnection.
Can any body help me.

Hi,
This exception is thrown when different versions of the dependencies are being picked up and loaded by the process.
Are you deploying the application or a specific machine?
What type of application is being tested here? i.e console, ASP.NET, etc.
Make sure you are referencing the 11.2.0.1.1 assembly and that DLLPATH in the registry to pointing to the proper location for its dependencies.
Make sure there are no old versions of the ODP dependencies in the application/bin directory and that you are picking up the assembly from the GAC.

Problem when install ODAC 11g " Updating registry key "

Hi every one,
I have O/S Windows XP with service Pack 3 , and i install Oracle DataBase 10g Release 1 , and install Microsoft Visula Studio 2005.
The problem is :
When install ODAC 11g v.11.1.0.6.21 and the install reach ( progress ) to 60% i see a message _" The specified Home Nam e was not found in the registry "_ , with two option :
* Stop installation of all product.
* Stop installation of this component only.
By the way,the installation process stop when it is : Copying files for ' Oracle Services For Microsoft transaction Server '
Can any one tell me what is the problem ?
with regards
Naif

Well, the MTS services that is part of ODAC 11g is for Oracle DB 11g. So if you are using Oracle Database 10g, you cannot install that. Just check off the components you need to install and leave the others unchecked.

Can't get past OCX error when installing ODAC 11g on Windows Server 2003

I have been trying to install ODAC 11g on Windows Server 2003 and can't get past the OCX error when registering oravsdbgeng11w.dll. I've read every message on this forum even remotely related to this problem and tried every solution offered. I have done a clean install into a new Oracle home, and made sure Instant Client is always included. All service packs and automatic updates have been installed. For what it's worth I have successfully installed ODAC 11g on Windows XP Pro.
If anyone out there has been able to get this up and running and would care to share the wisdom that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Michael, as you already noticed, every time I have seen this issue it has been because ODT was being installed into an Oracle home where no client exists, or perhaps installed into an old oracle home where the client was an old version (eg Oracle10), or the client was broken. Usually though, the user unchecked the instant client checkbox during the ODAC install.
So you say you checked instant client and you still got the error? That doesn't add up...
Are you using 32-bit windows? If you are using 64 bit windows be sure to tell us.
Why don't you try avoiding using instant client at all, in case it is somehow not getting installed properly.
You can do this as follows:
1) Under the download links on OTN, go to the database download page.
2) Download the Oracle Database client 11g for Microsoft Windows
3) Run this installer and Install ODP.NET 1.x and 2.x into a new Oracle home from this client install, but nothing else. If ODP.NET is not listed there (it has been a long time since I looked at that) than just install a minimal Oracle client install.
4) Close the installer
5) Go back and install ODAC and this time choose "Oracle Server" radio button during the install (rather than the client install)
6) Install ODT and ODP.NET at least and be sure they are being installed into the Oracle home created in the first steps above.
This will avoid use of Instant Client and will hopefully avoid the OCX error. Let me know if this solves your problem.

Can 11g client connect to 10g server?

I am very new to Oracle, so hope this isn't too basic of a question. I thought I saw something through my searches where the clients were backward compatible to older versions of the server. Will this work, 11g client connecting to a 10g server?
I have a custom windows app that uses the Oracle client to pull data from an Oracle server at another location and pushed the data into a MS-SQLExpress database for a local cache to be used during th day. I do not have the source for this custom app or the time to re-create this custom app. We just installed a new Windows 2008 R2 (64bit) server and I just need to get the client back on the new server so the custom app will work again. The old server was running 8.1.7 client, but going to 64bit OS I want to use a more current client to avoid issues with 32bit/64bit compatibility problems.
I am downloading the 11g 64bit client now, but want to make sure I'm not wasting my time and need to get a different client. Please advise.
Thanks!

In general, yes, you can use a later version of the client to connect to an earlier version of the database and vice versa. But that only generally works for a few major releases. Unfortunately "10g" and "11g" are somewhat ambiguous-- both could be referring to one of two major releases.
Metalink 207303.1 is the client/server interoperability matrix. If by 11g you mean 11.2 and by 10g you mean 10.1, the 11.2 client will not work with a 10.1 database. If the client is 11.2 and the database is 10.2, it should be at least 10.2.0.2. If the client is 11.1, the database should be 10.1.0.5 or 10.2.0.2 or higher.

Does ODAC 11g 64-bit exist or not

I have been investigating whole day how to get the oracle drivers to work with SQL Server integration services in both 32bit and 64bit runtime. ODAC 11g 32bit helped to get the driver visible and working in 32bit. Now I need 64bit version. Some sources suggest that it exists somewhere in "oracle metalink" and some say there is not such thing. So, is there? And to get it (I am not Oracle customer)? Or should I uninstall all and try 10g version?

Are you trying to get ODP? Or OLEDB?
ODAC is the marketting name for a download bundle, not a product in itself.
ODP.NET, which is included in the ODAC bundle, is available in 64 bit as part of the full client installation, as is OLEDB.
Downloading 11.2.0.1.0 full client for Win x64 will give you the equivalent functionality of 11.1.0.7.20 ODP, and OLEDB as well.
11.2.0.1.2 ODAC which includes ODP.NET with .NET 4 support does not have an x64 equivalent at this point.
Hope it helps

ODAC 11g et Oracle database 11g ??

Hello,
I don't understand the difference between the installation of client through ODAC 11g and Oracle database 11g :
- http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/da...ft-087491.html
- http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/da...ft-098987.html
Do we need to install both (must we install both together ?) ? Why do we have choice between those two installations ? What's new or better with ODAC instead of standard client ?
Thanks in advance !

I started to run the Universal Installer. I was asked to select an Installation Method and I chose Custom. I selected the components I wanted to install.
The next screen which appeared started to do a de-install.
Is this going to de-install my current 11g install and then install only the products I selected in the list from custom?
Or, will this keep my 11g installed and just install the additional products?
Otherwise, I do not see anyway through Universal Installer to just add additional products.
Thanks for your time.

11g client connection to XE fails

Hi,
I have installed the 11g client beta and Oracle XE on the same system running Vista Ultimate.
The 11g client can connect to Oracle 9i running on remote systems.
The XE sqlplus can connect to the local XE instance (and remote Oracle instance).
When I try to connect my application to the XE instance I get an exception:
Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException: ORA-12532: TNS:invalid argument
In sqlnet.log I get:
Fatal NI connect error 12532, connecting to:
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=now2)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=XE)(CID=(PROGRAM=C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\InstallUtil.exe)(HOST=NOW2)(USER=nisse))))
VERSION INFORMATION:
TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 11.1.0.4.0 - Beta
Windows NT TCP/IP NT Protocol Adapter for 32-bit Windows: Version 11.1.0.4.0 - Beta
Time: 28-AUG-2007 10:54:48

Tns error struct:

nt main err code: 502
TNS-00502: Message 502 not found; No message file for product=NETWORK, facility=TNS
nt secondary err code: 51
nt OS err code: 0
The connecting string I use is: "Data Source=(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = now2 ) (PORT = 1521)) )(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER=DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = XE )));Max Pool Size=16;Connection Timeout=15;User Id=nisse;Password=XXX"
When I change HOST and SERVICE_NAME it works perfectly well to connect to a remote Oracle instance.
Disabling the local firewall does not help.
In the PATH, the 11g client path comes before the XE path. (No ORACLE_HOME set)
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Strange. I have 10g XE with the 11g ODAC beta, but I can connect using localhost as my TNS host name. Another solution may be using the IP address for localhost: 127.0.0.1
One thing to keep in mind is that SQLPlus comes with 10gXE, not 11g ODAC beta. So, the version of SQLPlus you are using is really from the 10g Home.
Ming Man,
It sounds like you need to copy over a tnsnames.ora file to your new ODP.NET 11g Home or some other general Oracle connectivity configuration not set.

OBIEE 11g ODBC connectivity error

Hi all,
I am getting the following error when I tried to access a simple query through Answers.
"*Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).*
*Error Details*
*Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P*
*State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS.

*SQL Issued: SELECT s_0, s_1, s_2 FROM ( SELECT 0 s_0, "BISample"."Product"."BRAND" s_1, "BISample"."Target"."REVENUE" s_2 FROM "BISample" ) djm*"
What I did was
1. Create a DSN 'orcl', 32 bit Oracle ODBC driver. Tested and worked against the Oracle database.
2. Import metadata using Local, ODBC 3.5 and DSN = orcl
3. Build a simple BMM and subject area
4. In the phyiscal layer, right click on a table, and select view data/update row count. Error with message "The connection has failed"
5. Hoping for the best, create a simple query in answer and got the above odbc driver error in results tab.
Interestingly, if I edit the connection pool and use OCI (my SID is also orcl), then everything works fine.
I'm new to OBIEE and hope someone can tell me if I have missed a step or make any mistakes!
Thanks!

Hi All,
I am able to connect SQL Server database with OBIEE 11g RPD offline and imported metadata and verified update row count/view data but when i was trying to publish the same RPD the data is not returning also "update row count/view data" is giving and error "The connection has failed."

Environment:
OBIEE 11g/WLS 10.3.3/Oracle database 11g installed on RHL 5
Client tools are installed on local Vista 32 bit system.
Oracle database is working fin, where as SQL Server is giving issues.
You want me to create a ODBC connection in RHL 5 server to connect to SQL Server ? i am little bit confused here how to create !
same time i have created ODBC for oracle apps database and imported and able to view data in RPD when i am in Online mode.
When i open RPD in online mode and trying to import the data i dont have access to local machine ODBC's which is expected and if i change to "Remote Server" nothing is showing here.
Appreciate your comments on the above.
Thanks

Oracle 11G + Database Connection taking too much Time

Hi ,
I am using Oracle 11G . When i try to connect to oracle database
sqlplus system/impetus@database
it takes too much time ( more than 1 min )
I am not getting why this is happening ?
Before some day it was working fine but suddenly the problem occurred.. Is this issue is related to log files generated by oracle or memory related issue ( sga and pga)..
Any Help please ?

Darn! /tmp/capture.log does not contain what I expected it to contain.
So a different approach is needed.
issue the following command:
script /tmp/capture.log
#now you are in a new shell & issue the next 3 lines
strace sqlplus system/impetus@database
exit
Ctrl-d (Control D)
now issue the following commands.
ls -l /tmp/capture.log
wc -l /tmp/capture.log
Post the results from 2 commands above back here

Jdev 11g Production: Connection Name FOD Not Defined (Tutorial: ADF Visuali

I tried out the following tutorial: ADF Visualization Components. I follow the step by step to install Jdev 11g and the FOD schemas. The step by step tutorial is helpful but ran into a problem in the beginning when I tried to run the FOD Module as stated. The following message came up when I right click the FODModule and select run, "Connection Name FOD Not Defined". I have created the connection as stated in the tutorial and can access the FOD database and see the tables.
I search the form and I don't see anyone else running into the same problem. Can any help me out.

Oracle 11g XE Connectivity Problems

Hi to all and thanks for the attention !
Quick facts
OS : Microsoft Server 2008 R2 (x64)
Oracle Version : 11g XE (x32)
Database name : XE
I've been fighting over with providers for a whole day and I can't seem to make this work out,
I have an application(Web, on a IIS 7) that connects to a schema, the connection uses a Oracle Provider For OleDB, well at first I was getting a "Provider not registered" error, that was easy I only had to make the app run on x32 and puf the error changed, so I quickly set up the Data Source ( with the data source manager located in WOW64 ) with a oracle ole db provider, no problems, I can click on it, it will ask me for a user/password and when I click test connection I works just like I would expect it to work, now back to the application, when i set the connection string up, I get a error from the app : ORA-12154 TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified. So went up and tried making a udl ( invoking again the x32 ), same error ORA-12154 so I started digging and so far so good what I got is, "try tnsping <instance_Name>", did it, and got an OK (40ms) (though I had to navigate to bin folder, which was not explained in the posts, perhaps this means something ?) and also registered the oraoledb11.dll with regsvr32
Oh ! And I can connect to the database with sqldeveloper
I know really little of Oracle, any thoughts ?
Thanks again !

ORA-12154 ALWAYS only occurs on SQL Client & no SQL*Net packets ever leave client system
ORA-12154 NEVER involves the listener, the database itself or anything on the DB Server.
ORA-12154 occurs when client requests a connection to some DB server system using some connection string.
TNS-03505 is thrown by tnsping & is same error as ORA-12154 thrown by sqlplus or others.
The lookup operation fails because the name provided can NOT be resolved to any remote DB.
The analogous operation would be when you wanted to call somebody, but could not find their name in any phonebook.
The most frequent cause for the ORA-12154 error is when the connection alias can not be found in tnsnames.ora.
The lookup operation of the alias can be impacted by the contents of the sqlnet.ora file; specifically DOMAIN entry.
So post the content of the sqlnet.ora file.
