Oracle 8i Client install over Oracle 9i

I am trying to install Oracle 8i Client over top my Oracle 9i installation to support 8i EXP processess. It is appearing that it works (i.e. Universal Installer runs through everything like it is installing) but afterward if I run the Univ Installer to look at installed programs it is all still version 9.2 items and my migration of 8i to 9i still does not work. How do I force an overwrite?
Pretty sure I am not a P4 so that should not be the issue. Am I missing something on how to get 8i over top 9i?????
Thanks for any help,
Miller

If you want to install that software you have to do it in a different Oracle Home. If you want to export a database or part of it with the export uitility of Oracle8i client you will be able to do it without installing Oracle8i Client on Oracle9i.

Tuxedo 8.0 Client install over RedHat 2.1 fail

Hi,
I'am trying install Tuxedo 8.0 Client over
RedHat 2.1 Advanced Server. The installation
hangs and the ps command shows a java process defunct.
I suspect that the .java_wrapper packaged
in the tuxedo80_linux.bin fails.
Does somebody have any idea?
Thanks in advance.

Oracle client install on upgraded win 2k desktop

I recently upgraded my PC from win98 to win2k. I already had the oracle client installed prior to the upgrade. I had to run the sql net config and a message came up saying my installation needed to be corrected. When I tried to reinstall the installer (y2k version), it says the oracle home (orawin95) cannot be used for an nt home but doesn't let me overide the location. I can't even get in to uninstall and start over! Is there a workaround?

Pl indicate which version of Win 7 - you will need Professional or higher - Home versions are not supported/certified, so things may or may not work as expected.

No classes12.zip included with Linux Oracle 8.1.7 client install??

I noticed on the linux client install - it includes a
lclasses11.zip, but this is not the JDBC classes that come with
Windows clients.
1.) What is the lclasses11 or 12.zip files for?
2.) Do I need to copy Windows client classes12.zip, etc to a
linux client? What aren't these included?
Thanks

Running in 64 bit mode with the 32 bit Oracle client installed

I have seen many postings on this issue but none of the suggested solutions have helped me.
I am running visual studio 2010 professional with SP1 on windows 7 64 bit machine. When I try to run a web service locally and call it with SoapUI, I get the following error message during OracleConnection.Open().
Attempt to load Oracle client libraries threw BadImageFormatException. This problem will occur when running in 64 bit mode with the 32 bit Oracle client components installed.
I have tried setting up the build configuration and the project settings to target 32 bit but that has not helped. I have also tried removing the reference to System.Data.OracleClient that shows being under Program Files (x86) and add a new reference to the dll under GAC_64. That too did not work.
I only have the 64 bit client installed on my machine.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you

1. Visual Studio any version is 32 bit ONLY irrespective of hardware or OS bits. So to DEVELOP with Oracle Client you MUST install 32 bit Oracle ODAC components. Task manager will show devenv.exe *32 (to confirm 32 bit Visual Studio application).
2. You can run your web application inside IIS/IIS Express in your PC which independently can be either 32bit or 64bit. If it is 64 bit, you MUST also install 64 bit Oracle ODAC components which means you'll have to install both 32bit and 64bit in your 64 bit Win7 running on 64bit hardware.
3. In Visual Studio if you compile with "AnyCPU" as target, the resultant binaries (Web/NonWeb) can be both 32bit or 64bit. So if target PC is "AnyCPU" or "x64", you MUST install Oracle ODAC 64 bit in the target OS if that target OS is 64bit. You don't have to install 32bit ODAC in the target PC.
4. One more catch to above scenario is the target OS could be 64bit simulated OS on a 32bit hardware. In such case you MUST install both 32bit and 64bit ODAC components.
So while you ask your network team to download ODP.NET/ODAC Components make sure you ask them to download both 32bit and 64bit. Total nearly 600MB.
Hope this helps many people out there.

Can apex 4.2 be installed over Oracle XE10g DB?

Hi All,
I have to install Apex 4.2 over Oracle XE for reporting purposes. I got the APEX 4.2 downloadable from OTN. I followed the tutorial http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21673/otn_install.htm#BABHHIJB. Now when i ran +@apxrtins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/+ command and changed the admin password and tried to open the homepage of my DB and unlocked APEX_PUBLIC_USER account, it shown me that as blank. So i thought i need apex listener for this to open up. I installed apex Listener using java -jar apex.war command. Even now, i am getting a blank page over this, no error comes up over SQL PLUS for Apex Listener. I am not able to trouble shoot this .
So after doing all this a question came to my mind can apex be installed over ORACLE XE? I have read a forum where it says yes you can install but i did not find anything relevant more than that.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Avi,
I have to install Apex 4.2 over Oracle XE for reporting purposes. I got the APEX 4.2 downloadable from OTN. I followed the tutorial http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21673/otn_install.htm#BABHHIJB.
Why did you use the Installation Guide for APEX 4.1 when you are installing APEX 4.2?
Now when i ran @apxrtins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/ command So you just want a runtime installation?
tried to open the homepage of my DB Which would that be?
Note two things:
1. The "database homepage" that ships with your XE is a special APEX application. This application will be lost as soon as you upgrade or reinstall APEX, because it has been "tailored" into the scenario XE using the APEX version that shipped with XE.
2. A runtime installation does not have the web based GUI (workspace login, application builder, etc.). It's really just the APEX runtime for deploying your applications (through a SQL interface like SQL*Plus or SQL Developer). If you want more, you need a development environment (full install).
A third aspect would be the question whether you've upgrade your APEX images to 4.2.
So after doing all this a question came to my mind can apex be installed over ORACLE XE?Yes, as documented in the [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/install.42/e35123/pre_require.htm#BABFCFBC]Oracle Database Requirement section of the Installation Guide for 4.2, you can install APEX 4.2 on XE databases since 10.2 XE. I can assure you from personal experience that this actually works with and without APEX Listener.
Side note: You need APEX Listener if you want to use certain features like RESTful Webservices built into APEX 4.2.

Oracle 9i client install fails to load disk 3

I downloaded the Oracle 9.2 database software from OTN. I'm trying to install the 9i client from this software. I've extracted the disk1, disk2, disk3 to separate directories. I run the install from disk1 and it gets about 90% into the install, then it requests disk 3. When the "Disk Location" dialog box comes up I set the path to the appropriate location for disk 3. Then I click OK. The OUI comes right back with the same dialog box. I have verified that the path to disk is correct. Any ideas? The install cannot get past this.

Negative. The installer only asks for disk 3. I'm installing from the Oracle 9.2 Enterprise Edition download. I'm just choosing to install the client. I just figure for a client install, it doesn't need to access the contents of disk 2. Incidentally, even if I direct the installer at disk 2, I receive the same results. Nothing happens.

TOAD giving error 'NO Oracle Client installed'

Hi,
I have a peculiar problem. I have installed Oracle 11gr2 64bit enterprise edition and then installed Toad 10.5 Trial. All the installations were successfull and I am able to login to the DB using SQL* PLUS as well as Oracle Propitery tool SQL Developer. However when I am trying to run Toad it is saying that 'No Oracle Client installed'.
Do I need to install the client separately and try to connect the server using Toad or some other configuration in Toad can connect to the Oracle DB server.
Please help.
Thanks,
Anirban Datta

No you don't need to install client as you have already installed the database. In the TOAD select the correct installed client home on the right hand corner and try again.
If not successful then restart your PC or re-install the TOAD again.

You have no Oracle clients installed: Windows XP client to Oracle Linux ser

Hallo! I have Oracle 10g Db running on Redhat Enterprise Linux server.Moreover, I have a windows XP client having Toad 9.06 in the XP client. The client does not have any Oracle Db or Apps installed.
I would like to connect to the Oracle Db sever via Toad. I have placed the server IP on the the IP text box. I placed port 22 (SSH port).I am not sure which port to place.
Unfortunately, I get the error no Oracle clients installed.
How do I resolve this?
Thanks.

You need to install oracle database 10g client on your PC using windows XP.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/10201winsoft-095341.html
Go to this link , download and install the client on Windows XP box. Then edit the tnsnames.ora file and add the TNS entry of your database which you want to connect.

Having two oracle clients installed at the same time

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to have two oracle clients installed at the same time on one computer, and if there is a way to be changing the default client between the two. I need to have installed the oracle client 10g and 8 versions on the same computer, because we have a problem with a legacy application that for some reason only works with version 8, and we need the 10g because our new applications requires 8.1 or later. We are still migrating to the new system but we developers need to have the two clients. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Is it possible, sure.
Technically, clients before 8.1.5 were not multi-home compliant, so having Oracle 8 and Oracle 10g clients on the same machine is almost certainly not supported. On the other hand, I know that a number of developers at Oracle had combinations of Oracle 7 clients Oracle 8 clients, Oracle 8i clients, and Oracle 9i clients on their development machines at the same, so you shouldn't have too many major issues.
Most "default client" issues come down to which ORACLE_HOME is first in the system's PATH. Ideally, you would leave the Oracle 8 ORACLE_HOME first in the path and explicitly reference the 10g ORACLE_HOME when configuring anything that relies on the 10g client.

Perl and Oracle Client Install

Hi,
When installing the Oracle Client on user machines, does it not install Perl as well? Something like $ORACLE_HOME/perl/.....
I am installing the client and I am not seeing this. Or this only for the non-client versions?
By the way I am installing Oracle 10gR1 (10.2.0.1)

Ya I did the client install as well and noticed that I had it as well, but for the client install on 10gR1 it is not. This is weird. Basically I am trying to apply a patch using OPatch and it keeps saying that Perl is needed. When I downloaded the Perl manually, it still said that it could not reconize Perl. Any thoughts?

Intune client is unable to install over VPN

Hi,
Has anyone come across this problem before?
Where the Intune client is unable to install over a VPN connection?
I'm deploying the client to our users using AD Software Installation.

There is no technical reason why you cannot deploy the Intune client over VPN. Can you deploy other software over VPN? What errors are you getting?

10g Client connections over SSL

Hello,
I have some lightweight applications that need to connect to our 10g server over SSL. Right now, the scripts work fine using the Instantclient (10.2). I was told that the only way to connect over SSL is to have the full Oracle client installed, which I am loathe to do simply because the intent of the scripts is that they are as "light" as possible, though they do need to be encrypted.
I'm having a hard time believing that my only option for an encrypted connection is the full Oracle client, which is waaaaaay bigger than the scripts that need to connect.
Can anyone help point me in the right direction?
Thank you!
Todd

To my knowledge, Oracle 10g comes with SSL Required Support Files for Instant Client. But whether that is enough for SSL connection, is another question. May be you can get help form the Instant Client Forum

OBIEE 11g on Linux - do I need a DB Client Installed???

I have installed an 11gR2 database on an OEL Virtual Machine, and on a separate VM installed OBIEE 11.1.1.5.
The RCU created the metadata required for BI - and out of the box, OBIEE works absolutely fine.
Now I'm trying to migrate a database and RPD etc from another (Windows) environment... and I'm getting errors:
"Oracle Error code: 12154, message: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified at OCI call OCIServerAttach. [nQSError: 17014] Could not connect to Oracle database. (HY000)."
This suggests that I need an Oracle Client installed on my OBIEE server, to enable it to connect to my DB server.
This seems odd - as RCU has created the metadata fine, and OBIEE is obviously using it? Do I really need a client now? Please could someone explain?
Thank you!

Oracle client should be installed in the OBIEE machine, then add Oracle server information to tnsnames.ora file . Later copy the tnsnames.ora into OBIEE installed directory, for more information see the following link.

Hope it helps you.

OWB x64 bit client installed with RDBMS does not work?

Has anyone tried the OWB 11gR1 (11.1.0.7) client installed with Oracle database x64? I found out that I could not perform the following tasks:
1. could not create a new table
2. could not import MDL file the first time for a project (only project name is added; I had to run the second time to get all the profile and maps imported)
It throw out an OWB internal error and hangs after having the above two problems. Is there any configuration need to be done to get it to work correctly?
Thanks,
htu

The OWB x64 bit client is broken:
https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=130:15:1377335913212499434::::p15_database_id,p15_docid,p15_show_header,p15_show_help,p15_black_frame,p15_font:BUG,8871963,1,1,1,helvetica
This is what is this document:
"Only server side functionality (repo creation, ControlCenter, OMB) is supported on server platforms. Design client needs to run on Linux-32 or
Windows-32. This is not a bug in OWB. "
Has anyone tried the OWB client installed with x32 Oracle database? Does the OWB client with 32 database work?
Thanks,
HT
