Oracle 10g Client R2 Install

Hi,
I have recently installed the Oracle 10g Database release 2 and now want to install the client. I would like to install the client on the same pc as one of my standard users so I can write scripts(using sqlplus) and run them as this user, but the original oracle home was installed as oracle:oinstall. How should I proceed?
Thanks,
Chris.

You don't need client for this. You could use binaries from existing database installation.
Just setup the enviroment (ORACLE_HOME, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and other oracle variables except ORACLE_SID) and PATH for other user and it is done.

I can't install Oracle 10g Client in x86-64(Intel EM64T)

Dear All,
Recently, I tried to install the Oracle 10g client in Redhat Enterprise Linux 4.0 with x86-64 (Intel EM64T) platform. As I know,that is either Oracle 9i or Oracle 10g has been certified to Redhat AS 3.0 operating system.
How can I install Oracle 10g normally under all x86-64 platforms? Or, When does Oracle to release out the patch for all x86-64 versions?

Please reffer to Installation section.

Install Oracle 9i client on a computer with Oracle 10g Client

Hello all!!
I'm using a computer with Oracle 10g client, and I access two databases. One server has Oracle 10g server, and the other server has Oracle 9i server.
I want to install 9i client, to have it also in my computer. I haver read that I just have to install it in a different ORACLE_HOME, but I have a doubt.
If I install 9i client, would I be able to use the utilities, (exp, expddp, sqlldr) of both versions, or which version will be used in the command line for the utilities.
Thanks a lot!!!

To start with, Home Selector is a "9i thing" (and older), in 10g there's the OUI -> Installed Products... -> Environment tab instead.
About the 9i dbca with other Oracle products installed. If you use launch.exe to start via dbca start menu shortcut, it uses ora92\assistants\dbca as working directory ("start from"). So when not looking for "numbered dlls" like oracore9.dll, a later/different version will be loaded if earlier in path, since loading goes through jre directories, ora92\assistants\dbca, then the dir's from path variable. From there it may start to link in libraries from different homes (on my laptop, "launch.exe dbca" uses files from 2 additional home paths!)
But, if you instead use dbca.bat started from ora92\bin, it will look in the right directories first and there's no dll mess-up. (But only when using the correct cwd!)
Plain and simple: stay very far away from multiple-general-home installs. It is possible to install allright, in different homes and all very nicely, but there will be pain when you decide to use the stuff (perhaps with sql*plus as the only exception, but I've run into bugs with that too).

Is Oracle Client 10 part of Oracle 10g Developer Suite install?

Hello,
I am currently using Oracle Client 9i for Business Objects. I suppose once I move to Oracle 10g Developer Suite, I'll need to move this to Oracle 10g Client. Is this a separate install from the developer suite?
Thanks.

A Developer install should be including it's own Oracle Client -- ie Oracle_Home. That is how I've seen it in older versions -- haven't done Developer installs for quite a few years now !
See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25016_08//doc/dl/core/B16012_04/chap2.htm#i1018939 and http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25016_08//doc/dl/core/B16012_04/chap3.htm .
The 10g Developer install is expected to be seperate from existing ORACLE_HOMEs

Installing oracle 10g client

maybe this question seem silly.
but I am using ODP to access oracle 10.1.0.2 and i want to know how to access database from client to the database server throw ODP.
And asking is there version called oracle 10g client should i install before install ODP or ODP that i download it is enough? and if it is enough how i can configure it to access server?

That's from ODP.NET FAQ:
Oracle9i Client Release 2 (9.2) or higher (included with ODP.NET installation)
Althought the statement is for 9i, it remains true for 10g, ODP.NET has the necessary Oracle client components included.

TNS-12541: No listner on Windows VISTA (oracle 10g client)

Hi all,
After installing an Oracle 10g Client for Windows Vista, when trying to connect to the database, i got the error No listner (TNS-12541). I checked the database listner but it's running and i can connect there from XP OS client. Does anybody have an idea about that.
tnsping give the same error also but when i ping the server it gives response.
Any body has experioenced the same problem, if yes could you help please it's very urgent.
Thanks regards
raitsarevo

raitsarevo,
First of all: it's not very urgent. Very urgent requests end up in a SR at http://metalink.oracle.com.
Oracle doesn't support all editions of Vista and 10g may not even support Vista at all. Please refer to the download page for 10g at http://otn.oracle.com for further details.
A non-supported edition of Mickeysoft usually results in Oracle Net issues.

Oracle 10g Client and ODAC Side-By-Side

Hi there, I was unable to find an answer to my query by using search, but apologies if this is a double-post.
I'm having some issues with a ASP.NET application running on a Windows XP Pro machine. The machine has Oracle 10g client installed (oraClient10g_home1), and also ODAC (ODACHome2).
The part of my web application that accesses our Oracle DB (10g), always gets a ORA-12154 error when it tries to connect, but SQL*Plus and tnsping for this TNS both work on the machine.
When I use tnsping from the command line it looks like its using parameter files from the ODAC home, rather than the 10g client home.
On my development machine (where ODAC is not installed), the application works fine.
Does anyone have any idea if there are any issues having both of these clients installed?
Or otherwise where my problem could be?
Thanks very much in advance,
James Simm

Thanks for the link, however it hasn't solved my issues:
The version of ODP.Net installed is 10.2.0.2.20, and the Oracle Client is 10.2, so according to that link it should be able to automatically switch between Oracle Homes.
The application I'm troubleshooting doesn't actually use ODP.Net, it uses System.Data.OracleClient, but ODP.Net is required for another application.
I'm extremely stuck, as I cannot understand why I'm getting ORA-12154 when every other Oracle application on the machine can access it.
Please let me know if there are any other things I can try, or if you need any information from me?
Thanks in advance,
James Simm

(again) oracle 10g client and oracle 10g express in one computer

hi again, sorry if this question looks like a double post to you.
Well this is quite embarassing yet still make some headache for me. I have my office PC installed with Oracle 10g client using admin component option, for connecting some application with database on remote server. Now, after I have developed some basic map using Oracle 10g Express on my home PC, I want to test it in my office network. But everytime I tried to install Oracle Express, it web interface will working normally while all other aplication can no longer connected with remote server from the client. If I remove Oracle Express, all client connection will working again as if nothing happened. I already created Microsoft LoopBack connection using IP 10.10.10.10, edit TNSNAMES.ORA, etc that could possibly helpful but nothing fixed. Strangely, if I install Oracle 10g Database version, all connection to remote server working again, and map application also working. But this kind of installation takes up all my PC resources (grrrr!). Any more suggestion?
best regards
net2surfin

I'm sorry if the information not accurate, but the client connection made by application which try to connect is simply "not resolved" and show no error code/number at all. I'll try to connect from sqlplus though, maybe the error number will be known from this way.
About 10.10.10.10 tcp loopback, I got this work around from here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b14316/reqs.htm#BABGCEAI
in the Ora Database Preinstallation requirement, where it states like this:
+16.In the Properties dialog box, click Use the following IP address and do the following:+
a.IP Address: Enter a non-routable IP for the loopback adapter. Oracle recommends the following non-routable addresses:
+■192.168.x.x (x is any value between 0 and 255)+
+■10.10.10.10+ <---- this is the value suggested that I've been used in my home PC
b.Subnet mask: Enter 255.255.255.0.
c.Record the values you entered, which you will need later in this procedure.
d.Leave all other fields empty.
e.Click OK.
I'll try to remove the loopback later and see the ORA environment, to see the result. In the mean time, all suggestions is highly appreciated.
thank you n best regards

Oracle 10g client not connecting to Oracle 8i server

I have oracle 8i server already installed. I downloaded Oracle 10g client recently. I installed it on one machine and trying to connect to 8i server. I used TNSnames.ora which was already present on the machine. After entering the username, password and service name in SQL plus, I got a error saying server version not suported. Does 10g client not support 8i server or am I doing something wrong ?

There is an 8.1.7.4 patchset for Windows.
If you take a look at the Instant Client forum, there are some discussions on this where one of the Oracle product managers (Mr. Jue) has chimed in. At present, only connections to 8.1.7.4 and higher are supported. It is expected that the first 10g patchset will fix this bug and allow connections to 8.1.7.0 and above databases.

following are the steps tht i followed:

Oracle 10g client with 11g ODBC.

We have the Oracle 10g client on users PCs to use the 10g ODBC to connect to a 10g (10.2.0.4.0) database. Now we are upgrading to an Oracle 11g database, 11.2.0.3.0. Is it possible to install the 11g ODBC drivers onto the users PCs without installing the full Oracle 11g client?

Unless you want to go down the Instant Client path, no.
However, there is probably no need to do anything to the clients. Any version of the 10g client should have no difficulty communicating with an 11.2 database. There is likely no need to upgrade the existing clients when the database is upgraded. The only exception would be if your application is trying to use some 11.2 feature that requires changes on the client to support-- those are pretty rare in this instance.
You may want to roll out 11.2 clients on new machines as they come online but that's likely about all that you need to do.

WIS 10901 / Linux / BO XI3.1/ Oracle 10g client

I have been installed a server with Linux 4.8 with Bo XI 3.1, Oracle 10g client. When i refresh a report of WebIntelligence on Infoview i recibed the error:
(CS) Unable to bind to configuration object (WIS 10901)
(CS) DBDriver failed to load /bo/bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86/dataAccess/RDBMS/connectionServer/libdbd_oci11.so (libclntsh.so.11.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file to directory) (WIS 10901)
Someone can help me with this issue.
Thanks.

I ended up reinstalling the Oracle client and even included an extra component (oracle.javavm.client:11.1.0.6.0 - Oracle Java Client), but the error did not go away. I made sure I had a valid TNSNAMES.ORA entry and still it did not work. I checked another server that was working (disabled all but one in CMC to prove it worked) and I found no differences, bother servers reported the following for the /lib32 file:
$ file libclntsh.so.11.1
libclntsh.so.11.1: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
So then it occurred to me that I had installed my last server a little differently from the others and that perhaps I had installed Oracle last and not first. I still and not sure, but I just logged into the server and did a "stopservers" and "startservers" and guess what, no more error. I will be watching this, if it throws another error I will post back here, but it seems to me that the old trick or restarting when all else checks out is still a very good solution.
It occurs to me now that when I had originally started the SI Agent on the problem server that I had not done so with "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" set. I probably did a "su boappaccount" and my system does not pass that variable through to the new session, I should have done "su - boappaccount" or even "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib32:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" would have worked. I am not 100% certain this was my problem. So if Oracle is installed, your lib32 files are good, TNSNAMES is good, then I would make sure that the session that originated the current BO SIA instance did so with the "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" enabled.

Connect Oracle 10g client to the Oracle 10g database behind a firewall

I need to connect an Oracle 10g client to the Oracle 10g database (windows server 2003 box) behind a firewall. I ran into this problem: Port redirection. Port redirection requires the Oracle client to connect to the database using a different port (usually a randomly selected TCP port) than the default or originally configured one. If there is no firewall between the server and the client, port redirection will not affect the actual connection. However, if port redirection does occur with the server behind a firewall, the client will be likely to suffer from a connectivity failure. The reason is simple: the newly assigned port based on port redirection is often blocked by the firewall. Such failures are not uncommon on Windows platforms.
I don't know how to stablished an unique TCP port.
I Enabled USE_SHARED_SOCKET on the Oracle database server, windows registry. Acording to what I read,that will force the server machine to share its port 1521 and thus all clients will stay on that port when connecting to the database. Noticeably, port redirection will not occur with USE_SHARED_SOCKET enabled, but that's true in oracle 8 or oracle 9. In oracle 10g this solution doesn't work.
I will apreciate any help about this. Please!
Thanks in advanced.

Three solutions in order of preference
1 Use Connection Manager on the server (only installed using a Custom Install). This will tunnel all traffic through a single port. It will also allow you to configure allowable nodes
2 Set up shared server to use a fixed port. Disadvantage: shared server has overhead and the number of connections is limited
3 Use shared_sockets. Disadvantage: when you stop the listener everyone is disconnected.
