ODBC access to an Oracle DB running on Windows Server 64 bit?

I'm being told by a company that there is no way to connect via ODBC from my Mac to an Oracle database hosted on a Windows 64 bit server. Does anyone know whether that is true, and if not, what tool or driver one could use to make the connection?
Thanks,
~Andrew

Hi,
I was setting up VMware vCenter 4.1 (probably the only well known and largely used product with this lethal mix) and needed to setup an ODBC access to Oracle on the 32 bit side of Windows to setup the Update Manager server component, which is still a 32 bit application)
The problem with Oracle configuration is that in no way I found a 32 bit ODBC registered driver after the setup (of the 32 bit client and the 64 database server). I tried some third party driver for oracle (e.g. easysoft).They registered in the 32 bit ODBC manager but they never got a successful connection.
Also if this vCenter requirement is questionable (more questionable considering that the setup of this 32 component is not allowed on a 32 separate OS, not because it is separate but because is a 32 bit OS) I would get it working.
Could suggest a way to get this working?
Thanks
Fabio D'AlfonsoWhen you install the Oracle client software on Windows (which is necessary to support ODBC, as the Oracle ODBC driver sits on top of the native client software) the ODBC driver is NOT installed by default. You have to go back and do a "custom" install and select the "Windows components".

How to display MICR font in XMLP where APPS is running on WINDOWS Server?

Hi,
I'm working on check printing reports with XMLP. In the output I need to print the check number in the last line of the page in MICR fonts. To do this I have followed the below steps...
1. Installed the font (MICRe13b5.ttf) in local machine.
2. Also placed this font in "\apps\ued02\applmgr\common\util\java\1.4\j2sdk1.4.2_04\lib\fonts" folder on the WINDOWS 2003 SERVER.
3. We placed "xdo.cfg" in "\apps\ued02\applmgr\common\util\java\1.4\j2sdk1.4.2_04\lib\fonts" and "\apps\ued02\applmgr\common\util\java\1.4\j2sdk1.4.2_04\lib" folders.
We made an entry for the MICR font in the xdo.cfg file.
When we run the report it's showing the MICR Line in NORMAL FONT (ARIAL).
Can someone help me how to display the MICR fonts where Oracle Apps running on WINDOWS server?

The xdo.cfg contains below info.
<config version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/config/">

<fonts>
<font family="MICRe13b" style="normal" weight="normal">
<truetype path="\apps\ued02\applmgr\common\util\java\1.4\j2sdk1.4.2_04\jre\lib\fonts\MICRe13b5.ttf"/>

How 2 get dynamic images where APPS running on WINDOWS SERVER?

Hi,
I'm working on check printing reports with XMLP. In the output I need to display the digital signature (dynamically) depending on the check amount.
For this, I have followed below steps...
Method 1:
=========
1. Placed the digital signature images (i.e., signature1.jpg, signature2.jpg, signature3.jpg etc.) in OA_MEDIA path i.e., "/apps/ued02/applmgr/common/java/oracle/apps/media" path.
2. In the RTF Template, inserted a dummy image.
3. In the "web" tab of the dummy image, entered the location & name of the image as "url:{concat('%[OA_MEDIA]%/','CF_IMAGE')}".
where CF_IMAGE is the xml element/tag which holds the digital signature image name derived from the report dynamically depending on the check amount.
This worked perfectly where Oracle Apps running on unix server.
But, when I tried this where Oracle Apps running on WINDOWS SERVER, the digital signature is NOT getting displayed.
Can someone help me how can I display digital signatures dynamically in XMLP reports where Oracle Apps running on WINDOWS SERVER?

The xdo.cfg contains below info.
<config version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/config/">

How to restrict users working on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2

Dear All,
We are having an infrastructure setup of around 500 client computers managed through group policy.
Recently the domain controllers have been migrated from Windows Server 2003 to Server 2008 R2.
Since this account requires extremely strict environment, we need to figure the solution for restricting the users from access anything locally.
It would be great if you can assist me with the following query.
How to restrict users logged on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and browsing other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2 ?
Can we disable Network Tab on the left hand pane ?
explorer.exe is blocked already, but users are able to enter the Windows Explorer by clicking on the name which is visible on the Start Menu.

>   * explorer.exe is blocked already, but users are able to enter the

You cannot block explorer.exe when you do not replace the shell - the
desktop you see effectively IS explorer.exe...
Your requirement sounds like you need a custom shell:

Can Oracle 9i run in Windows 2008?

Hi All,
Can Oracle 9i run in Wondows Server 2008 environment?
Thanks,
Sam.
Edited by: user6533646 on 2010年3月17日上午12:08

Oracle 9i is desupported.
To the best of my knowledge Oracle 10g is also not supported on Windows 2008.
Go ahead and try installing if it works its great. Of course I will not recommend it for official use.

Oracle XE 11g and Windows Server 2008 - 64 bits

Hello,
my questions are :
- is Oracle XE working on 64 bits (windows)
- if it doesn't :
- is an update coming ?
- is there any solution to make Oracle XE running with Win2008 Server 64 bits (i tried, but i had many problems with execution of listener)
Thx for your informations.

Hello, and welcome to the OTN forums!
You could have used the search forum to find answers to these frequently asked questions...
However, I give you a short intro:
- is Oracle XE working on 64 bits (windows)There is no general answer to that question. As you've found out, there is no installer for 64bit Windows. As for 32bit, there are several Windows versions that are listed in the [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18803/toc.htm#BABHICJH]System Requirements section of the XE Installation Guide, and a few you won't find there, e.g. Vista or Home Editions. This means you'll probably experience problems when trying to install on any OS version not listed there. Some of them might be worked around, others may not.
Since your target is Windows Server 2008 (edition?), you might get a more precise answer when you search for that.
- is an update coming ?See {thread:id=2277728} .
In addition to that, {thread:id=2278170} contains an overview for the state of all operating systems.
- is there any solution to make Oracle XE running with Win2008 Server 64 bits (i tried, but i had many problems with execution of listener)The safest way would be to use a VM with a supported operating system.

Oracle 8i compatible with Windows Server 2008?

Does anyone know whether Oracle 8i can be run on Windows Server 2008? My organization has only a license for Oracle 8i and we're buying new servers coming with Windows Server 2008.
Thank you, Chaiyong

There is no such thing as a licence for "Oracle 8i" there is only a licence for Oracle. Do you mean that you're out of support ?
In any event 8i is desupported.
Best bet is to install P2V a VMware Windows 2000 and leave it at that.

Oracle gateway for Oracle 10g DB on Windows 64 bit server

Is there any place that I can find Oracle dateway for Oracle 10g DB on Windows 64 bit server? I can only find Gateway for Oracle 11g on Windows 32 bit server. Please help me to identify this. Thanks.

yingkuan:
Thanks a lot. The link tells the details. It seems that Oracle has not release Gateway for Oracle database 10.2.0.x on Windows 64 bit server. Probably they don't do it.
So under this circumstance, if I want to install Gateway (32 bit) on Oracle 10.2.0.3 DB on Windows 64 bit server for Teradata, I probably have to install Gateway software in another Oracle Home, then configure it right. Please give more advice on this. 32 bit Gateway will work for 64 bit database?

Best practice for install oracle 11g r2 on Windows Server 2008 r2

Dear all,
May I know what is the best practice for install oracle 11g r2 on windows server 2008 r2. Should I create a special account for windows for the oracle database installation? What permission should I grant to the folders where Oracle installed and the database related files located (datafiles, controlfiles, etc.)
Just grant Full for Administrators and System and remove permissions for all others accounts?
Also how should I configure windows firewall to allow client connect to the database.
Thanks for your help.
