    Hello, check if your gateway software that you is installing is 64bits, I think you have gateway software 32 bits.
    If you are sure that you have Gateway software 64 bits, check if the next RPM were installed:
    libstdc++-devel-3.4.3-22.1
    glibc-devel-2.5-58

  • Problem with "Database Gateway for SQL Server"

    Hello,
    i am testing the different technologies for connecting an oracle database with a sql-server database.
    The way using 10g-generic-connectivity with ODBC works fine, but the 11g-DG4MSQL makes problems.
    Environment:
    Server PEGASUS (32bit Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2) with Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.4.0
    Server OBELIXUS (32bit Windows 2000 Sp4) with MS-SQL-Server 2005
    On PEGASUS i have installed the gateway in a new oracle home directory:
    "D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1" => home directory of 10g
    "D:\oracle\product\11.1.0\tg_1\" => home directory of the gateway

    How mentioned above, the access from oracle to sqlserver using MSSQL(10g hsodbc.exe) works fine.
    But when trying to acces the sqlserver using MSSQLDG (11g dg4msql.exe) I get the following error:

    At first your configuration is not really correct.
    =====================================================
    In the LISTENER.ORA from 10g, you must only refer to the database and hsodbc 10g
    D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\listener.ora:
    SID_LIST_LISTENER =
    (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
    (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
    (ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
    (PROGRAM = extproc)
    (SID_DESC =
    (GLOBAL_DBNAME = INTEGRAT)
    (ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
    (SID_NAME = INTEGRAT)
    (SID_DESC =
    (SID_NAME = MSSQLTEST)
    (PROGRAM = D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\bin\hsodbc)
    (ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)

    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = pegasus.cursor.de)(PORT = 1521))
    ===========================================================
    Then you have to create a new listener (new name) in the gateway oracle_home on a different port than instance database:
    D:\oracle\product\11.1.0\tg_1\network\admin\listener.ora
    SID_LIST_LISTENERGTW =
    (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC=

    (ORACLE_HOME=D:\oracle\product\11.1.0\tg_1)
    (PROGRAM=D:\oracle\product\11.1.0\tg_1\BIN\dg4msql)
    LISTENERGTW=
    (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = pegasus.cursor.de)(PORT = 1522))
    To start it, use the command below:
    D:\oracle\product\11.1.0\tg_1\bin\LSNRCTL start listenergtw
    ===========================================================
    D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora:
    match the DG4MSQL with the listener on 1522 port
    HSODBC match with binary10g on listener 1521 port
    MSSQLDG =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = PEGASUS)(PORT = 1522))
    (CONNECT_DATA =(SERVICE_NAME = DG4MSQL))
    (HS = OK)
    MSSQL =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = PEGASUS)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =(SERVICE_NAME = MSSQLTEST))
    (HS = OK)
    Try to configure and let me know your feedback
    regards,
    Mireille

  • Need help trouble shooting Database Gateway for MS SQL Server setup, getting ORA-28546 error

    Dear All,
    I am trying to setup Oracle Database Gateway for MS SQL Server(I don't have admin access to the MS SQL Server).  When I try to test the dblink connection, I get the following error.
    I issued select * from dual@xyz;
    ORA-28546: connection initialization failed, probable Net8 admin error
    ORA-28511: lost RPC connection to heterogeneous remote agent using SID=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=dg4msql)))

    Obviously, I would like to get this setup to work, but I also have couple other questions regarding this setup.
    1. When installing the gateway, it asks to run the root.sh script.  the root.sh script as for the following.
    Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory: [/usr/local/bin]:
    The file "dbhome" already exists in /usr/local/bin.  Overwrite it? (y/n)
    [n]: n
    The file "oraenv" already exists in /usr/local/bin.  Overwrite it? (y/n)
    [n]: n
    The file "coraenv" already exists in /usr/local/bin.  Overwrite it? (y/n)
    [n]: n
    is the above answer correct?
    Thanks for reading.

  • Oracle Tuxedo 8.1 With Oracle 11g Database

    Hi,
    I have an old application that must be compiled with oracle 8.1 and Oracle9i Database.
    We are migrating to Oracle 11g Database, and now we have some inssues to compile with Oracle 11g Database. For example some Libraries that the Tuxedo XA Resource Manager needs from the Oracle Database, that just u can found on older versions like Oracle9i (kpudfo.o file).
    what can be the solution for that problem?
    An Oracle 11g database config or a Tuxedo config ?

    Hi,
    When you say "Tuxedo XA Resource Manager" I'm not sure what you are referring to. Do you mean the Tuxedo transaction management servers (TMS) servers that are built with the buildtms command? If so, if there are linking errors, it has to do with either your library paths or the RM definition for Oracle Database in the $TUXDIR/udataobj/RM file. Tuxedo itself only uses the XA switch from the resource manager such as Oracle database. Now the resource manager may require a bunch of libraries, which is why I suggested you check your library path. If the above doesn't help, can you post the error you are getting and what is generating/creating the error?

  • Oracle 11G Linux ( Oracle Database Gateway for SQL Server 11.1.0.6.0. )

    Hi,
    I am tring Gateway for SQL Server ..
    I want to Select Oracle Database Gateway for SQL Server 11.1.0.6.0 at the time of installation, but It is not coming in the Avaliable Components List..
    Is there any prerequisite for SQL server ?
    Any Help please ?

  • How to configure distributed transaction in Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC? (ORA-02047)

    I am connecting from Oracle to another database server (MS SQL Server, DB2 the error message is the same) through an ODBC connection using Oracle SQL Developer. (This is how I set up)
    I want to query the schema of a non-Oracle database using the data dictionary mapping of the Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC.
    This works well:
    select * from all_tables@katimssql;
    But this doesn't:
    create table alltables_mssql as
    select * from all_tables@katimssql;
    Output:
    Error report:
    SQL Error: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
    ORA-02047: cannot join the distributed transaction in progress
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.HS$_DDTF_SQLTABLES", line 58
    ORA-06512: at line 1
    Does anyone know the solution of this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Kata
    Details:

    initkatimssql.ora:
    HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=katimssql
    HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = ON
    HS_TRANSACTION_MODEL = READ_ONLY_AUTOCOMMIT
    I tried these, none of them worked, the error message is the same.
    HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = off
    HS_TRANSACTION_MODEL = SINGLE_SITE
    HS_TRANSACTION_MODEL = READ_ONLY_AUTOCOMMIT
    HS_TRANSACTION_MODEL = READ_ONLY

    Hi Kata,
    this won't work as the ALL_TABLES is not a table that exists in your SQl Server  - instead it is a "mimicked" table. This means the gateway will check if you have on your SQL Server a table called all_tables and when there's no table it will start an internal mechanism to check out what sort of tables exist in your SQL Server database. So the gateway is starting internally another transaction to get details from the foreign database and DG4ODBC can't participate in distributed transactions at all. Instead of using all_tables you have to use a real SQL Server table like SQ Server sys.objects or sys.tables.

  • Error using Oracle Database Gateway for DRDA

    Hello All,
    We're encountering issues while trying to query a table using a db link to DB2 database.
    We are running oracle 11g R1 on windows and we have DB2 installed on the box. We've installed database gateway for DRDA also on the same box. The gateway is running on a different home location within the same machine. But we get the following error while trying to query across the db link. Would be great if you can take a look and suggest appropriate changes.
    ORA-28545: error diagnosed by Net8 when connecting to an agent
    Unable to retrieve text of NETWORK/NCR message 65535
    ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from UDB

  • Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC with Oracle XE

    Dear Colleague,
    Is it possible to use the Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC in conjunction with the Oracle Express Edition (or does one have to use the Standard or Enterprise Editions)? If yes, are there any restrictions when using the Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC in the context of Oracle XE?
    Best regards,
    Randy

    Hi,
    As it says, as long as you have an RDBMS license then you do not need a separate license for DG4ODBC. If the confusion is where it says "Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC can be installed and used on a machine different" then that is just to clarify that you can run the gateway on a completely separate machine from where the licensed RDBMS is running, but you can also run DG4ODBC on the same machine where the RDBMS is installed.
    If you install 11g DG4ODBC on the same machine where you have a 10g RDBMS then it must be installed into a separate ORACLE_HOME.
    If this is still not clear then please get back and let us know exactly what you need clarifying.
    Regards,
    Mike

  • What are the privileges required for explain plan in Oracle 11g database

    I am facing the problem in doing a explain plan for a view in Oracle 11g database. When I select from the view like this:
    select * from zonewisearpu
    It does a select on the view but when I give explain plan like
    explain plan for
    select * from zonewisearpu
    I get the error like insufficient privileges.
    Please let me know if things are getting missed out as I guess system level privileges are required to execute this.
    I hope, my question is clear.
    It’s a humble request to revert urgently if possible as I need to complete a task and do not know the way out.
    Regards

    Thanks for your reply. I have found out that an explain plan is possible on the user's own objects and is not possible on the granted objects from a different schema. For eg, if I do a explain plan on a view querying on tables from a different view, it would not allow the explain plan to proceed. This could mean that explain plan needs different privileges than just a select.
    Requesting for a revert to this.
    Here is a simple test case that I have perfomed
    SQL> create user test1 identified by test1;
    User created.
    SQL> create user test2 identified by test1;
    User created.
    SQL> grant connect, resource to test1,test2;
    Grant succeeded.
    SQL> create table test1.tab1 as select * from v$session;
    Table created.
    SQL> connect test2/test1
    Conencted.
    SQL> show user
    USER is "TEST2"
    SQL>
    SQL> explain plan for
      2  select sid,serial#,status,username from test1.tab1 where username<> '';
    Explained.
    SQL>
    So, as can be seen I am able to do a explain plan from user test2 for tables belong to user test1.
    As far as privileges are concerned, following is the list
    SQL> select * from dba_role_privs where grantee in ('TEST1','TEST2') order by 1;

  • Oracle 11G database for 64 bit windows installation error

    Hi,
    I downloaded the 11G 64bit for windows and unzipped the files into one folder and ran the setup.exe as an administrator. It opened up the java screen and I chose, create and configure a database. Next screen I chose, Desktop Class, when I click next it dies. It does not show me teh next screen. I went to the appdata folder and saw this error but not sure what to do EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005). Please help. Thanks for your time and help.

    Hello, have you tried to create new administrator user, and install using that newly created user...?You found this to be a band-aid solution in your specific instance.

Under the circumstances, I would not be offering this up as a generalized solution, as you are doing in this thread and in others:

    I have been doing Oracle DBA work since v 7.3, and have never seen advice like this to be anything more than a work-around the real issue.

  • Oracle Database Gateway for MS SQL server

    Hi,
    we have Oracle Database Appliance.
    OS: Oracle Linux 5 x64
    DB: 11.2.0.3 enterprise (Oracle Database Gateway for MS SQL server at the same version)
    Communication with remote DB is OK, but CPU load is too high without any reason. CPU waste, useless HW load, energy waste.
    Enterprise manager console:

    OS top:

    Please can you help me how to solve this issue? How can I restart these procesess? Any ideas?
    Thank you

  • Factors for increase in memory occupied by Oracle 11g database

    I wanted to know all the possible factors which can account for the increase in the memory required for an Oracle 11g database. Let’s take an example,
    1) Say if the memory allocated for an Oracle 11g instance is 8GB which is 50% of the memory of 16GB allocated to the machine on which Oracle 11g is installed.
    2) The max sessions are 300.
    With this example in mind, I had the following queries:
    1) Is the memory taken by 100 sessions or 300 sessions going to be within the limit of 8GB allocated to the Oracle?
    2) Say if the max sessions is increased to 400, would the memory taken the 100 extra sessions would be within 8GB or would that be extra?
    I hope my query is clear.
    Please revert with the reply to my query.
    Regards

    Memory is allocated for the session only when that session is created by the listener, and the memory used by that session will fluctuate depending on the workload it's doing.
    300 or 400 it won't pre-allocate all the memory for the fixed maximum number of sessions, it's dynamic. What oracle does is allocated all the memory you gave it in the PGA and the SGA and will do it's best to work with it for the current workload, it won't suddenly eat more memory without you telling it's okay to.
    The only scenario I could see this happening is if you have a lot of sessions and a small PGA. In that case, oracle does go ahead and eat more memory than you gave it because it can't make due with the current PGA. So it eats more memory so sessions can be created and maintened. See PGA over- allocation.
    To quote the good ol' docs:
    Over allocating PGA memory can happen if the value ofPGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET is too small. When this happens, the Oracle Database cannot honor the value ofPGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET and extra PGA memory needs to be allocated.

  • What should i do with an Oracle 11g Database, MySQL database and a dump file.

    I just joining to a new work field, almost about a database and i know "NOTHING" about this field.
    My company has a system that running by Oracle Database, the problem is that Oracle Database will cost a lot of money when my company expands.
    So the quest is converting Oracle Database to MySQL database.
    Of course i cant try to convert it in the main Database, so i create one Oracle 11g Database on my LocalHost, and it already actived in " Localhost:1158 " etc.
    I have another Sever test that already set up MySQL database, and a dump file from the system.
    So I want to ask these 2 questions :
    1. How to create an new Oracle Database from that dump file ?
    2. Is it alright if i use tool to convert Oracle Database into MySql, or i should do it manually ?
    Thanks alot.

    I predict that converting to MySQL will cost your company more as it expands. As you expand managing contention becomes more important - Oracle does this for you. I do not think MySQL does, so you'll have to write more code to deal with this, costing the company money. A big part of making application scalable and reliable is to use stored procedures, how good are MySQL's compared to PL/SQL's. What other features are there that MySQL has that will benefit your company that Oracle doesn't. What do you need to think about as your company expands that need to be taken care of in the database. I would have thought a migration from MySQL to Oracle would be more common to deal with expansion.
    As you know "NOTHING" you need to think about what each database can give you for the next 10 years to cope with you businesses potential requirements, and extimate how much it will cost to implement these requirements, then make the decision
