Oracle 8.1.7.0-8.1.7.5 Drivers--What Can I do to get them working

See ODBC-Agony for earlier thots.
I have spent about 2 weeks attempting to get Oracle/ODBC connectivity from a Win98 Oracle 8.1.* client to a WinNT4-SP6 with Oracle 8i 8.1.0 server with java support. I have connectivity with SQLPlus and when the Administrative client is installed I can connect with the DBA console etc. I cannot get the Net8 assistant or the Net8 Configuration assistant to run either.
This setup is being used to prototype both a California Dept. of Health services intranet application and State-Federal inspection system. I feel that I am close to functionality but obviously I need the ODBC/OLEDB connectivity to my MS Visual Basic and C++ apps to communicate with the Oracle server.
Thanks for your time and considered response.

Thanks Justin for your response.
I have totally reinstalled the client using the latest universal installer(Version 2.0.1) and things are getting better. I have Client 8.1.7.0.0 and ODBC driver (ver. 8.01.75.00) installed on my WIN98 SE machine now. I can add ODBC source in ODBCAdmin with no problem but when the test button is click I get two message dialogs. The first is titled OCI.DLL and states "one of the library files needed to run this application cannot be found". After clearing this message as second dialog pops up titled "Testing Connection" with this message; "Unable to connect, SQLState = IM004, [Microsoft][ODBC DriveManager] Driver's SQLAllocHandle on SQL.HANDLE_ENV failed". This error has been consistent through out this problem.
My second problem persists. When I click the icons for Net8* Assistant or Net8* Config assistant I get a momentary hourglass cursor icon which reverts to the arrow icon. When I enter the Ctrl-ALT-DEL sequence it shows the JREW running. When it is selected and shut down it relays a not responding message. I have also cleaned out the previous Java Runtime environments and Allowed the Universal install engine to just replace one JRE. Thanks for any insight you can give me. Larry Upjohn

APEX Oracle 11g HTTP Server - Cannot get SSL working

I have installed APEX on Oracle 11g with the Oracle HTTP Server on MS Windows server.
Data base up and running, APEX up an running.
All works as expected on port 7777
When I try 4443 I get error message re self signed certificate by Oracle, but if I click through error message I get an https connection.
I want to replace default cert with a locally signed cert, and get SSL working on 4443, then switch to port 443.
I have used the Oracle Wallet manager, generated a CSR, had this signed by my corproate CA, and installed the corporate CA cert and the newly signed server cert into the wallet (with Auto Login Set) and saved it in:
D:\orahttp\Oracle_WT1\instances\apex\config\OHS\ohs1\keystores\infosec2wallet
This creates two files: ewallet.p12 and cwallet.sso
I then manually add the group/users "SYSTEM" and "Administrators" to these two files to match the security tab on the default wallet.
I T then go to the ssl.conf file located at:
D:\orahttp\Oracle_WT\instances\apex\config\OHS\ohs1\ssl.conf
and changed the entry:
#SSLWallet "${ORACLE_INSTANCE}/config/${COMPONENT_TYPE}/${COMPONENT_NAME}/keystores/default"
SSLWallet "${ORACLE_INSTANCE}/config/${COMPONENT_TYPE}/${COMPONENT_NAME}/keystores/infosec2wallet"
I then stop and start the Oracle HTTP Server - ohs1 from the start menu.
Then I try to connect from my desk top machine using the following URL:
https://us-pghinfosec2.ariba.com:4443/pls/apex/f?p=101:1:
I get the clasic MS IE Message:

Click Tools , and then click Work Offline.
Click the Favorites Center button , click History, and then click the page you want to view.
==========
I am at a loss as to what to do. It acts like Oracle HTTP can not open my wallet.
I suspect it needs the password to the wallet but I cannot find any place to specify the password, and Auto Login should have addressed that issue.
Any insights welcome.

Hello Lakshmi,

I got your point but in our case HTTP Server and Oracle Database (APEX) running on different machines.
Oracle HTTP Server running on a Windows 2003 server and Oracle Database running on Sun Solaris machine.
So do i need to change Oracle 10g HTTP Server? do i need to install Oracle 11g HTTP SErver?
Please let me know if my question is not clear.

<li>Oracle HTTP Server running on a Windows 2003 server and Oracle Database running on Sun Solaris machine.As long as [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/install.42/e35123/otn_install.htm#BHAFJJDA]dads.conf is configured correctly there should not be a problem with this.
From Original question:
We are having Oracle APEX 3.1 version on Oracle 10g Database and Oracle 10g HTTP Server as web server in our organization.How did this setup of APEX worked?(i.e. on different machines)

So I can update my Oracle Java Applet Plug-in to Development Kit 7, Update 65, can you link me to the correct Oracle download page from your Plugin Update page?

When I periodically accessed your Plugin Check and Updates web page in the past, I really appreciated you connecting me to the correct Plugin Updates vendor web page when I clicked on your red Update Now button. This time, however, your Java Applet Plug-in "Update Now" button linked me to the Oracle Java "7u65 Updates Release Notes" instead of the usual download page. It seems rather unexpected for me, or any other conscientious user for that matter, to search the appropriate "JDK 7U65" file download from the Oracle website.
Thank you,

This is getting way too complicated for normal peop.
First: the "Update Plugin" does not work, it goes to a page with all sort of computer jargon but no "Update button" anywhere.
Second: this forum jscher2000 gives a good solution, but I downloaded the incorrect java update, because my computer is 64 bit. how am I supposed to know my browser is what it refers to and that FF is 32 bit.....???$%^&*()??
Third: some of those "critical update" software are not even on my computer....well at least I don't think it is, I search for "shockwave" and did not find it.
I love Moz FF but the updating is starting to get out of control. why give us (computer idiot) an auto recommendation update not tailored to our computer? Perhaps in big letters at the top there should be an explanation "this is general suggestion these plugin needs updating, not to tailored with your computer, do your own research"
and/or add info I need to know like the 32 bit thing, took me forever to download the 64bit update for JAVA and it was the wrong one.
Now I am just afraid to update anything for FF because it is too darn confusing.

How can I do to get Oracle ODBC driver in Windows?

Hello,
Please, I need help to use Oracle ODBC driver in Windows 7. I installed Oracle Client 10g with the ODBC driver, but I can't use it. OracleODBC driver don't appear in the driver list when I want to create a new datasource. How I can do to get Oracle ODBC driver for create a new datasource?
Thank
Edited by: user4528703 on 13 mars 2010 02:01

Hello,
To get the ODBC driver you should run a custom Oracle Client installation and Select
Oracle Windows Interfaces 10.2.0.1.0.
Then, you'll get the Oracle ODBC Driver 10.2.0.1.
But, be aware that Oracle didn't certify Windows 7.
So, if afterwards, you experience some trouble, think to install Oracle with Xp compatibilty mode, or
wait to Oracle 11.2.0.1 which will be certified on Windows 7.
Hope this help.
Best regards,

Oracle BI Spreadsheet Add-in 10g 's API has forgotten what OLAP is !

Hello,
Did you know that since the 10g, the news API to reach AW is in SQL language?
Never mind, after all, since one obtains what one wishes!
The problem is that this interface generates an SQL request BY Excels cell!!
100 cells = 100 sql requests!!!
Forgotten the OLAP operations where one LIMITS the axes according to what one wishes to post! :o((
Did you note the same thing as me? For example, during all the Excel session, the STATUS of dimensions remains with ALL STATUT…
The old ones which know the multidimensional will wonder what you can make in a multidimensional system which cannot manage the STATUT of dimensions any more, and well, not large thing….
Oracle noted that an OLAP server could not summarized with SQL and has to preserve Oracle OLAP. It is the same thing for an OLAP API, we hope that Oracle awakes and corrects quickly this error!

Yes, BUT :
In SQL would you send an SQL statement for each cell? No, you would have WHERE clauses like this: (for 2 columns and 3 lines)
WHERE -
DIMENSION_IN_PAGE = "CODE1" and -
DIMENSION_IN_COLUMN in ("CODE2", "CODE3")
DIMENSION_IN_LINE in ("CODE4", "CODE5", "CODE6")
This WHERE clause would be translated in OLAP like this:
LIMIT DIMENSION_IN_PAGE to 'CODE1'
LIMIT DIMENSION_IN_COLUMN to 'CODE2' 'CODE3'
LIMIT DIMENSION_IN_LINE to ‘CODE4’ 'CODE5' 'CODE6'
What API does is 5 sql statements for all the combinations of column and line, it's crazy don't you think? (Clause where with only one code for each dimension...)
An SQL API does not excuse this. I really think there's a "bug" in this API
Don't you think?
If you use a "heavy" cube with "on the fly calculations" and "HOLAP architecture" this API is a catastrophe (90% of elapse to loop over cells and 10% of elapse for fly calculations and HOLAP...).
Hope I'll be understand.

Oracle 11.1.0.6 RDBMS Upgrade to 11.2 What Patch Number for Linux?

I have Oracle RDBMS 11.1.0.6 on 64bit Linux two node RAC and trying to find out what is the patch number to upgrade the database to R2. Thanks

Patches are only used within a release. 11.2 is '11g Release 2' - a new release. This is no longer a patch, it is an upgrade.
You perform the upgrade as per the Upgrade manual in the doc set. PLEASE read that manual before you attempt te upgrade. There are a few steps and concepts that are significantly different from a patch.
The starting point for an upgrade is the freely downloaded s/w. The software is a completely fresh install, but the database gets upgraded.
By the way, I would not recommend jumping on 11.2 for an existing production environment until a careful evaluation has been made - upgrades always introduce significant changes and they could adversely affect an existing application is not properly tested and understood. Budget a few weeks (at least) to understand the differences.

Can weblogic server 5.1 version work with Oracle 9.2.0 thin JDBC driver?

we have an applicaiton using weblogic 5.1 and Oracle database 8.1.6. Is that possible
to upgrade databse version to Oracle 9i without weblogic upgrade? If yes, what
JDBC driver should be used? Oracle 9.2.0 thin JDBC driver or weblogic jDriver?
Is there any known issue with the JDBC driver under that architecture?
Please help.

Please help.Hi. Any weblogic server can be used with any JDBC driver. Just upgrade the
JDBC driver to the latest/best one for Oracle9i, and make sure it's the first
thing in the server's weblogic.classpath (not the java.classpath). I recommend the
thin driver. Because it's all java, it is much more reliable. There is no known
issue with standard JDBC with that or any other driver. Some non-standard Oracle
calls which arer available from Oracle's driver classes are available through
weblogic, and some are not.

Does Oracle support OOPS concept?if it is YES , in what ways...Please ..

My question is . The Oracle Database 9i does it support ALL OOPS concepts.? How it can be implemented in pl/sql
or sql plus..

Information on OOPS support can be found in the Oracle9i Application Developer's Guide - Object-Relational Features
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96594/toc.htm

Cannot connect on oracle drivers, but can with datadirect... Why is it?

First, I used 10.2 drivers and got the same error as someone in this forum:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified
Of course, ojdbc14.jar, orai18n.jar and ons.jar were in classpath. Then I found in mentioned thread, that 10.1 drivers don't have this trouble. I've downloaded them (funny, but ons.jar was absent) - the program started swaring about absense of ons.jar. Then I added it from 10.2, and got the following:
oracle.ons.ONSException: oracle.ons.oraclehome not set
     at oracle.ons.ONS.<init>(ONS.java:160)
     at oracle.ons.ONS.getONS(ONS.java:624)
     at oracle.ons.Subscriber.<init>(Subscriber.java:54)
So, the question is: what the hell does this mean? I tried DataDirect drivers, and everything worked fine, but I wanted to use standard ones...
And yes, the DB I use is Oracle Express Beta 2. Maybe, the answer is 42... sorry, "beta 2"?
:))

Well, I've solved the problem with 10.1 drivers (the reason was that I called before connection the following method - setFastConnectionFailoverEnabled(true);
I thought it stated for fast reconnection on network failures). But the problem with 10.2 drivers persists. Of course, I can (and will) use 10.1, but the question is - whether the problem mentioned (ORA-00604,ORA-12705) is common for all those who use non-western locales?

Trying to get connected to Oracle via tcp redirection, cant get it working.

Hi All
I have an oracle server behind a firewall, and i want to connect to it directly.. Let's say the Oracle is on 10.0.0.1 and I want to connect to it over internet. Machine has a public IP of 12.34.56.78 and an open port 80.
I have a software that will take any bytes sent to port 80, and send them to 1521, and same for reverse direction, so I run this on the box with oracle, and I can certainly TELNET 12.34.56.78 80 just fine.. And I can TNSPING it after I set this host and port in tnsnames
But it seems that oracle "knows" its IP address is 10.0.0.1 and when I connect a client to 12.34.56.78 port 80, the client is then seen (sniffing the network traffic) to immediately try connecting to 10.0.0.1 on some random port in 4000 range, as if oracle has told it "ok, now connect to me on 10.0.0.1 4000"
What is going on/how can I stop oracle behaving in this way?

Charred,
Let's say you put the tns listener listening on the public IP and in port 1521, this is only the way in. On the way out the TNS process does a hand-shake between the user process connecting from the outside and the server process forked inside the machine to serve that session, but it comes out through a different port, in a random range.
What you need to do is to let the binaries of Oracle pass whatever they want through the firewall instead of opening ports. I'm assuming your firewall technology lets you do that.
Hope it helped.
