Oracle 10.2.0.3 - LINUX 64bit to sql server 2003

I have applied Patch 5965763 and installed DG4ODBC in seperate oracle home
I have the Data Direct ODBC drivers for linux 64-bit and am using ddsqls24.so driver
my connection to sql server 2003 is "AFMAC"
my listener on 11.2 works and is started from the 11g home
my previous listeners are working from the 10g home
i have create the database link: create database link AFMAC connect to "mysql" identified by "mysql" using 'AFMAC';
select * from dual@AFMAC;
select * from dual@AFMAC
ERROR at line 1:

I have exhausted my searches and have not found the issue. any suggestions?
below are my files:

Oracle EBS R12 on OS Linux 64bit vs Windows 2003 64bit

Dear All,
Oracle EBS R12 with DB 10gR2 64bit
on Linux- 64bit vs Windows 2003 64bit
Any data/whitepaper/comments, those can help to take decision with respect to performance on OS Linux- 64bit vs Windows 2003 64bit.
Management wants basically following:
•Technical advantages/disadvantages of Linux 64bit
•Technical advantages/disadvantages of windows 64bit

Please refer to:

Connecting Oracle(64bit) to SQL Server(32bit) with heterogeneous serv ODBC

Hi,
We are planing the migration of 32bit Oracle 9.2.0.8 (MS Windows Server 2003 EE SP1) to 64 bit Oracle 10.2.0.4 (MS Windows Server 2003 Standard x64 Edition SP2).
We have tested the migration using export/import procedure, and everything passed ok.
The problem is because the database we are planning to migrate (32bit) using Oracles heterogeneous Services ODBC agent in connection to 32 bit SQL Server 2000. When we have tried to implement that on 64bit 10.2.0.4 oracle we always get the message:
ORA-28545: error diagnosed by Net8 when connecting to an agent
Unable to retrieve text of NETWORK/NCR message 65535
Then we looked up the metalink and find the document: Is Generic Connectivity Available On Linux Or Windows 64-bit Platforms ? [*ID 361676.1*]
Is there any way to make the connection between 64bit Oracle 10.2.0.4 and 32bit SQL Server using system DSN within the Windows ODBC Data Sources with choosing the SQL Server driver?
The option with Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC) isn't free.
Thanks

Hi everyone
As far as I am aware, you need to install the Discoverer EUL into an Oracle database and then use an ODBC connection to SQL Server. This is because Discoverer has hooks into the Oracle database and is looking for features that only exist in an Oracle database. If you are using an Infrastructure, which is mandatory when using 4i, you can use that database to store your EUL using an ODBC connection over to SQL Server.
I hope this helps
Best wishes

Migrate oracle 10.2.0.5.0 enterprise on windows server 2003 32bit to Linux

Hello,
I am trying to find any white paper regarding the benefits of migrating oracle database from windows server 2003 32bit
to RedHat linux server 64bit.
The current db version on windows is 10.2.0.5.0
The new version on linux will be 11.2.0.3.0
If anyone crossed such a white paper describing the pros & cons for such a migration..
Thanks alot.
Edited by: user7320646 on Jan 9, 2013 5:45 AM

John makes some very good points but I would like to clarify one thing from his post: you are planning three migrations:
1. From 32bit -> 64bit
2. From Windows to Linux
3. From Oracle 10gR2 to 11gR2
The second of these is the one most liekly to give you grief. You certainly should not attempt to combine it with a database upgrade. Either move the database to RHEL and then upgrade it, or upgrade it on Windows and then move it to the new server.
Of these, the first is the least controversial. So it's a nice point whether it is worth upgrading from Windows 32bit to Windows 64bit prior to moving to Linux.
Cheers, APC

Oracle (Linux) to MS SQL Server 2000 (Windows 2003) with OTG

I have Oracle 9i Release 1 running on linux and i want to use Transparent Gateway to connect to MS SQL Server 2000 running on Windows 2003. Is it possible to setup this connection?
If yes, please include the detail approach of installation.
Thank you....

Dear kgronau
i tried the transperent gateway in Win2003
both sqlserver and oracle 10 g onthe same os (win2003)
Created listener and tnsname settings as per the documention spec..
then created a database link for sqlserver here.
my transpernet gateway works without any problem,
Then,
I have Oracle on Linux also,
i created a tnsname settings here for the win2003 listener (for sqlserver connection).
then created a database link for sqlserver here
im not able to connect sqlserver.
i tried to desc one table (sqlserver)
the following error i get,
do you have any idea, what i have missed???
SQL> DESC CUSTOMERS@SQLDB
ERROR:
ORA-02068: following severe error form SQLDB
ORA-03135: connection lost contact
please give some hints what is the problem
remember the listener is running on windows 2003

Oracle 10.2.0.3 64-bit to SQL Server 2005 64-bit on Windows 2003 64-bit

I have not been successful in setting up HS ODBC to allow Oracle to connect to SQL Server with the above 64 bit editions. Is it possible in 10.2.0.3 Win 64-bit or must we use another method to connect? Any advice would be much appreciated.

The bad news at the beginning:
There is no HSODBC for Windows 64bit nor a gateway.
It is planned for 11gR2 to provide gateways for Windows 64bit.
As all 10g gateways have been desupported and you start with a new project so I would suggest you start with the supported gateways release 11g. The other advantage of 11g is we here offer a database gateway for ODBC (follow up product of HSODBC but which can now reside on its own machine and there isn't anymore the restriction it must be used with a database from the same Oracle_Home.
Not sure about your environment and operating system preferences, but you can install and 11g gateway for Windows on a 32bit Windows machine. Or if you prefer a Unix OS you can install it on this machine.
So your env lokks like the Oracle db is running on machine A, the gateway on machine B and the SQL Server on machine C.
The products we offer are DG4ODBC and DG4MSQL. The gateway for ODBC is a generic one which uses a 3rd party ODBC driver to connect to the SQL Server. We do not provide you any ODBC driver. You need to get one on your own, install it and configure it. The Gateway for SQL Server is ready to use after the configuration.
Difference between both products is the capability of the gateways. The ODBC gateway is generic and thus offers only limited capabilities. For example only a few functions are supported which results in POST PROCESSING. Post processin means, if a function is not translated to a function the remote database can understand, all records from the remote database are transferred to the Oracle database and the result is then processed locally. Depending now on the amount of data this might cause performance issues.
The gateway for SQL Se4rver is designed for SQl Server connections and thus supports a lot of functions it can map to the SQL Server syntax and no post processing is done. In addition it supports distributed transactions.

Oracle DB on Redhat 5 connectivity with MS sql Server

Dear All,
Env.
Oracle EBS R12 – DB 10gR2 with RAC on Redhat linux 5
We want to connect OracleDB10gR2 to MS sql Server 2000/2005 on Windows 2003.
What is the way or which utility(ODBC) can be used to do this, anybody help us with detail??
Regards

HSODBC is what you'll want to do that, but you'll need a SQL Server ODBC driver that runs on Linux, and you'll have to get that from a 3rd party unless MS provides one.
Assuming you have Metalink access, the following note should help:
Note.264567.1 Ext/Pub How To Setup Generic Connectivity - HSODBC - on Linux:
Hope it helps,

Oracle R12 EBS Forms not getting invoked in Windows server 2003

Hi,
I have installed Oracle EBS R12 in my personal laptop with Win2003 server as base OS. Until all these days I was able to launch the forms and work on EBS without any issues.
Today when I tried to login in and open a form, the system is just not responding. It is not launching the form applet. I checked the Java options and everything remain correct. My internet explorer settings are also proper and no firewall is existing. JRE version installed is 1.6.0_07. I even tried invoking test form from Oracle Forms options, but no form was launched.
The same issue happened a month before and I ended up installing Oracle again. However, I dont want to go to that option and requesting your valuable help to get this fixed.
Java console log is as mentioned below. Kindly check and help me getting this issue fixed.

Asif,
Finally I got the issue fixed. Did not download Java or any JRE version; because, the available version itself was Java 6 and the JRE version was 1.6.0_07.
The issue seems to be that, if the 'JRE Auto-Download' in Java control panel is set to 'Always Auto-Download' then java is trying to use the latest version available in their server. I then changed the setting to point to 'Prompt User' and tried opening a form and it worked!!!
Sounds like a solution to this issue and hope it doesn't recur. Will keep posted if I face any. Thanks for your help!
Navigation:
DO NOT TRY TO CLEANUP OR RE-INSTALL JAVA. TRY THE BELOW BEFORE YOU PERFORM SUCH THINGS.
Step1: Clear all cache and cleanup the history/temp memory in your browsers.
Step2: Close all your browsers (IE, Netscape, Chrome, Mozilla etc).
Step3: Check if your Java version is SE6 and JRE is pointing to version 1.6. You can check this in Java control panel -> General and Java tab respectively.
Step3: Control Panel --> Java (DClick) --> Go to Advanced tab --> expand "JNLP File/MIME Association" and "JRE Auto-Download" --> Select "Prompt User" in both and "Apply"
           In addition to this have the "Debugging" option enabled and "Show console" in the same tab.
Step4: Open IE and login to Oracle Apps. Click on any form. now Java will enable and you will be able to see the console messages. In a few moments(depending on your system speed), the forms should be displayed.
If this doesn't fix the issue, then copy paste the entire console message and post a question in this forum for help. Enjoy your EBS!!

Is 64bit MS SQL Server interchangeable with 32 bit?

Does anyone have any experience using a 64bit Windows Server
/ 64bit MS SQL with Coldfusion? We currently use the same, but on a
32bit server, and were hoping to purchase a new box that would have
more horsepower. (Our Coldfusion servers are separate, 32 bit
machines)
If you do, and it's easy-cheesy, I'd love some sort of
validation of some sort before we make the purchase. :) And if so,
are there any "gotchas" we need to look out for?
Many thanks!

No, I attempted to use the Microsofl OLE DB Provider for Visual Fox Pro to access the .dbf from Excel,
and it behaved identically to the way it did in SQL Server.
I can use the Microsoft Excel Data source in SQL Server to link an excel file to SQL Server perfectly fine.

Hi,
We got a "strange" error installing Oracle db on MS win Ser 2003. When the installation procedure created the database it stopped with Ora-604 and Ora-2248. My first thought was the language problem but I'm not sure.
Below you'll see the trace.log
If anyone can give me a clue, it would most appreciated !
Thanks a lot,
Jacques

Yes, there's a known problem, not with german language, but with territory Switzerland, see on metalink:
ORA-604 / ORA-02248 WITH NLS_LANG SET TO TERRITORY SWITZERLAND
Doc ID: 334481.1
ORA-02248 is only the last error, you have others:

Thread-3 12:33:59:88 StepErrorHandler.setIgnorableErrors:250 setting Ignorable Error: ORA-01109
Not sure whether this related to the same problem. As a workaround you may change the territory, for example to GERMANY. If that works you hit the bug mentioned in the metalink not. Normally NLS_LANG is set in the registry.

Oracle 10.2.0.4 PGA on Windows Enterprise server 2003 32 bit

Hi all,
i have a question about PGA. Querying v$pgastat the values "Total freeable PGA memory" and "PGA memory freed back to OS" are always 0. My Database is configured in DSS mode.
Any IDEA?
Thanks....

Yes i have already executed these query and the result is that the amount of "pga memory" in use for each process is different from "total pga allocated" and i'm not able to understand why oracle dosen't release memory back to OS.
My current setting is:
4gb available on OS
PGA= 800MB * (2 Gb *80%)*50% -- pga_aggregate_target=800Mb
SGA=700MB --sga_target=700Mb
Each time that virtual memory allocated for oracle.exe is beyond 2.7 gbyte i get ora-04030
Maybe each PLSQL in not written right and each session does not release memory. is there a workraound to free memory at system level and not at session level through DBMS_SESSION.FREE_UNUSED_MEMORY.
Best regard,
Simone ABATE

How to connect to a Sql server from Oracle using db link

Hi All,
Does anybody have any idea about how to connect to a sql server from oracle database using db link to syncronize the data? I need to pull the data from Sql server table to Oracle tables and relay messages back to the sql server.
Thank you,
Praveen.

we have 2 products - DG4MSQL and DG4ODBC.
DG4ODBC is for free and requires a 3rd party ODBC driver and it can connect to any 3rd party database as long as you use a suitable ODBC driver
DG4MSQL is more powerfull as it is designed for MS SQL Server databases and it supports many functions it can directly map to SQL Server equivalents - it can also call remote procedures or participtae in distributed transactions. Please be aware DG4MSQL requires a license - it is not for free.
Check out Metalink and you'll find notes how to configure both products.

Connecting ms sql server from oracle using db link

Hi,
Source : Oracle 11g on linux
destination : ms sql server 2005
i need to create the db link from oracle to ms sql server to view the tables , is it posibble without configuring the gateways( as looks like it is licenced product)
Please let me know any alternative to achive this
Thanks
PGR

There are 2 gateway - the commercial Database Gateway for Ms SQl Server which requires a license and the Database Gateway for ODBC which is for free. The license for DG4ODBC is included in your database license. You only need to install a suitable ODBC driver on your Linux box (for example use the MS SQl Server ODBC driver for Linux - details can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=36437 ). and then configure the gateway using the My Oracle Support Note:

Data loading from Oracle to SQL Server

Hi,
I am trying to Push the data from Oracle which is running in HP-UNIX to SQL Server. But don’t know the efficient way to connect the SQL server from oracle which is running on HP-UNIX.
I have heard about oracle Heterogeneous Connectivity but don’t know exactly how to implement it in Unix environment. If you have some guide of step by step process it will be really helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Sajal

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/gateways/index-100140.html
HowTo articles are available on My Oracle Support:
How to Setup DG4ODBC on 64bit Unix OS (Linux, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX) (Doc ID 561033.1)
How to Setup DG4MSQL (Oracle Database Gateway for MS SQL Server) 64bit Unix OS (Linux, Solaris, AIX,HP-UX) (Doc ID 562509.1)
Please read also this note:
Functional Differences Between DG4ODBC and Specific Database Gateways (Doc ID 252364.1)
The license for DG4ODBC is included in your RDBMS license, but you need to purchase a Third-Party ODBC driver for MS SQL Server.
The license for DG4MSQL is not included in your RDBMS license.
There is also a forum for the gateways:
Heterogeneous Connectivity
