ODBC for Oracle 9i client on Presentation Server 4.5

Does anyone have an Oracle 9i ODBC driver or something that will work for an app that is Oracle 9.1 on presentation server 4.5? The application loads but tnsping returns ORA-12504 error.
Tnsnames is same tnsnames file we use on Presentation 4.0 for same app. Don't know how to fix. Vendor says not supported, boss says too bad make it work.
I can't find 9.1 drivers on Oracle site. If someone has them or has a solution please reply to this post.
Thanks

Hi, I appreciate your reply. Let me explain. We use a program called Centricity EMR formerly known as Logician. The program is bundled into an Oracle database. I did get the version wrong. Here is from the About in the program: Logician 5.6.8_1 (125) / DB 5.6.8_1
E&M Advisor 5, 4, 1, 7
Medispan MDDB database 2007.12
Oracle9i Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production
Next item is Presentation Server is a version of Citrix. We currently are in production on Presentation Server 4.0. We want to rollout into a new Citrix farm that is Presentation 4.5. I don't know if you are familiar with Citrix or not. At any rate we load a Logician client to the server and publish it so users can get to it from their thin client (citrix) devices.
The Oracle Home lives on the Oracle database server not on the Citrix servers. We only have one Home per Oracle server.
I don't do a command line tnsping, I have a utility that comes with Logician to check Oracle Server connectivity.
It does the same thing as if I typed tnsping <database name>.
Here is our sqlnet.ora (we don't modify this ever, it is already configured)
# SQLNET.ORA Network Configuration File: d:\oracle\ora92\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN= WORLD
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, ONAMES, HOSTNAME)
Here is tnsnames.ora (we can modify the part in front of the .WORLD and the ip address)
<databasename>.world =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS =
(COMMUNITY = TCP.world)
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(Host = <ipaddress>)
(PORT = 1521)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ORA7)
# (SDU=8192)
I think that is all you asked for. Like I said the Logician client runs just fine in Presentation 4.0. On 4.5 I can't connect to the Oracle but it has to be something simple I can change to make it work. The reason why I think it is ODBC is because Presentation server has a 32-bit ODBC and a 64-bit ODBC. You can't see the service in 64-bit but you can in 32-bit. I just can't figure out how to trick it to pull from 32-bit.
Thanks so much, hope you can help

Microsoft ODBC for Oracle / Microsoft Server 2008 r2

We are testing the operational system Windows Server 2008 r2 in one of our clients. This system does not accept the installation of the tool Microsoft ODBC for Oracle. We’d like to know how to install this Driver, once Microsoft’s webpage does not mention any help related to this issue (there is instruction only for the installation of MDAC). We’ve consulted discussion forums and all types of ocurrence on the Internet, but we started to think it’s a Bug of the version. Can you inform us what’s the solution for the problem?
We are looking forward to your answer.

We have new webservers (Microsoft Server 2008 r2 64bit) that will need to connect to a variety of Oracle databases.
Our DBAs have provided:
10204_vista_w2k8_x64_production_client
We have installed it, but, notice that the Microsoft ODBC for Oracle driver is not listed.
It would be better for us to use the Oracle client, but, we do need to connect to Ticket Machines that are based on a Oracle v 8 database. (So, basically, if we use a 10g client trying to connect to a oracle 8 database, it will display the error: ORA-03134 Connections to this server version are no longer supported.)
It is not possible for us to upgrade the Oracle 8 database to current, so, we have to use the Microsoft ODBC for Oracle driver.
So, basically, we have a Oracle 8 database that we can not presently connect. (those machines are feeling abandoned)
Ideas? ThanksIf you insist on using the MS driver, you'll have to get that from MS. Why would you have expected it to come with an Oracle installation?
And to get the Oracle driver, you have to do a 'custom' installation and select the Windows components, as it is not installed with a default installation.
And all that aside from the very serious version compatibility issues.

Microsoft ODBC for Oracle on a Windows 7 64Bit OS and Oracle 11g Client

Hi,
I have installed Oracle 11g client 64Bit edition on a Windows 7 Professional 64Bit OS. Trying to connect to Oracle DB through ODBC Driver I get the following Message:
Microsoft ODBC for Oracle:
"The Oracle(tm) client and networking components were not found. These components ar supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3 (or greater) client software installation....".
Any ideas how to resolve that problem?

Hello,
Please verify the ORACLE_HOME directory is listed on the PATH system variable of Windows 7. Please open the Command Prompt
and examine the result of the command PATH.
Hope this helps.

ODBC Error: Could't find Oracle Instant Client in present directory.

I am getting the following error when I try to run odbc_install.exe with the Oracle 10g Instant Client Lite version 2:
Could't find Oracle Instant Client in present directory.
The 10g Instant Client Lite version (including the missing MFC71.DLL and MSVCR71.DLL files) is in the directory. What am I missing here??

Can you detail your configuration? What files are in the directories? Environment variables?

Error using "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle" driver

I am trying to connect to Oracle 10g Express Edition from Access 2003 on Windows XP. I created a DSN using "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle" driver. When I try to connect using ADO, I get this error:
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed
I googled this error and got a lot of hits but no solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am new to Oracle and am coming from SQL Server 2000.
Thanks a lot!

This is the connection string I am using:
Conn1.ConnectionString = "driver={Oracle in XE};Dbq=GMIS_LIVE.WORLD;Uid=Administrator;Pwd=ubs;"
These are the contents of my tnsnames.ora (what entries do I add to make this work)?
XE =

(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = your-a9279112e3)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =

Character Set problem when using Microsoft Microsoft ODBC for Oracle

Hi, all
I am using:
OS: Windows 7 x64 (client and server)
DB: Oracle 11g
ODAC: v. 11.2.0.3.20 32-bit
Connection string: "Driver={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle};Server=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=192.168.0.221)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=geopoisk)));User Id=uid;Password=pwd;"
DB NLS_CHARACTERSET: CL8MSWIN1251
DB NLS_LANGUAGE: AMERICAN
DB NLS_TERRITORY: AMERICA
Client NLS_LANG: UKRAINIAN_UKRAINE.CL8MSWIN1251
When I am trying to access the server through ADO the character set of the values becomes corrupted or wrong. The value should be "Месторождение", but shows "?????????????" instead. When I am trying to connect through Visual Studio 2005 and Oracle client the results of the queries are shown in the right way.

Thanks for the answer. Can you please show me, how would the connection string would look like if I`ll replace my Microsoft ODBC with Oracle one? Thanks alot.

Unable to connect to my Oracle Database with Microsoft's ODBC for Oracle driver

I am unable to connect to my Oracle Database with Microsoft's ODBC for Oracle driver vers.2.573.4202.00 on a Win98 computer.
First, I create a "Net Service Name" in order for the ODBC Driver to find the Oracle server. I then created a System DSN in the ODBC Data Source Administrator and assigned the "Net Server Name" as the server in the "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle Setup". But when I test this DSN with Oracle's provided "Oracle ODBC 32Bit Test vers.2.5.3.1.0" I get an error:
SQLSTATE: NA000
Native Error Code:0
Driver Message:[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]
This error occurred on all three Win98 computers I have tried. It does however, seem to work fine on WinNT 4.0, and believe it or not, on the two Win95 computers I have tried.
Does anyone have any fixes, recomendations, or advice?
Thank you,
Eric Edwards

Why are yu not using the Oracle ODBC driver - these can be downloaded from OTN.
Have you set up a tnsnames.ora entry for the Oracle database you want to connect to? Does this name have a domain name added to it? Check %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\tnsnames.ora for the service name. If it is a name of the form :
name.domain.subdomain
then you should try using this full name when configuring the ODBC data source.

The type initializer for 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleClientFactory'

Hi
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
Version 9.0.21022.8 RTM
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 3.5 SP1
Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio 11.1.0.7.20
I have DB 11.2.0.1 installed on my machine ( OraDb11g_home1 ) and ODT in another home OraClient11g_home1 on my Windows 7 32-bits
After installing ODT I tried to create a new DataSource, it succeeded (test connection is succesful) but while saving I get
"The type initializer for 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleClientFactory' threw an exception." messagebox.
In registry I have both keys
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\ODP.NET\2.111.7.20
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\ODP.NET\2.112.1.0
of course I can connect to db from both homes.
I've been searching for simmilar issues but have not found something that would help me solve this one.

ODP.NET actually consists of several DLLs, some managed, some not. If you are missing one of the DLLs in the chain or it somehow picks up mismatched DLLs from several different versions then you will get this error. So if you hand copied DLL's rather than using an installer, this might be the cause.
Another typical cause of this error is that you deployed your application to another machine (web server) and did not properly install ODP.NET over there.
The best solution is to reinstall ODP.NET using the installer on the machine where you will run your application. If you already have ODP.NET there, make sure it is the right version and perform a clean up to make sure old versions are not lying around.

The type initializer for 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection' threw

Hi All,
I am .Net developer [.Net Fream work 2.0].
In my new windows [C#] project , I have to use oracle Database [11g] which is intalled in one of the server.
I have installed [my local mechine] odp.net and Oracle.DataAccess.dll version is 2.111.7.20.
I added reference the above dll and its working fine in my mechine.
I have build the applicatrion with release option. then i moved the release folder to QA mechine [because QA team needs to test. when the are testing , they are getting below msg
"The type initializer for 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection' threw "
Please could some one can help,
whether i have to intall odp.net in QA mechine also ?
thanks
Babu

Hi,
As per my experience, Type initializer exception by ODP coulod also be due to mismatch between ODP.Net and dependant layers, especially with the service layer, which communicates with the OCI.
So, please do following:
- As suggested earlier, if not installed and then do install the ODP ship home on the target test machine.
- If already installed, ensure that versions do match, essentially you cannot pick a different ODP dll and try to make it work with a different version of ship home dlls.
thanks,
Mrinal

Last I heard, the Oracle client wasn't certified on Windows ME. There are folks who have posted to the Oracle newsgroups with registry hacks to work around the problem if you're interested in going down that path.

License for Oracle Unix client

Let say I have an application running on Unix 64bit (SunOS,HPUX or AIX) accessing a DB with proC, php or jdbc OCI.
From XE doc I understood that it is possible to have the DB running Oracle XE on Linux 32bit and the application connecting to the DB with Oracle SE or EE Client from Unix 64bit.
What license is required for Oracle Unix client?
Is the configuration above free (or am I naive)?

As least Oracle instance client is Free according to Oracle.

Documentation for oracle webcenter wiki and blog server 10.1.3.2.0

Hi
Can anyone tell me where I can get the documentation for oracle webcenter wiki and blog server 10.1.3.2.0. I am specifically interested in this version and not the latest version Oracle® WebCenter Wiki and Blog Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.4.0) because I have heard the older version provided out of the box portlets for creation of blogs.
Since we want blogs very fast, I want documentation of this older version.
Can anyone point them out to me as soon as possible please

You can find the demo portlets here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/webcenter/owcs_10132_demos.html#wiki_blog_disc_samples
I do not believe there were any portlets provided with the earlier release.
Anyway what i think is it should not take you more than a few hours to integrate blogging functionality if you are using the Connection & Task flows provided by WebCenter.
