Oracle 9i Client

I have the Oracle 9i CD's. One of the options on this CD is to Install the Oracle 9i Client.
What is the best way to create a package for the Oracle 9i Clinet like say an MSI file so that it can be delivered to 100 Workstations?
We need the Oracle 9i Client to be distributed to 100 Windows XP Workstations.
What is the best way to do this preferably with an MSI File if possible.

always some maybes and compatibility issues... :-/
The product Instant Client is "10g" family, yes, but it could work -- at least it seems to be cert'd with as old as 8.1.7.4. See HOWTO Note:273972.1 and Client Server interop Note:207303.1, if Metalink access is available.
If your app supports only 9i, that's (yet) another matter!
And as APC points out, be aware that the Client side should be handled with care. It's filled with riddles. I have stumbled upon incompatibility even between OEM 10.2 (incl. Client) and Instant Client 10.1... ouch

  • Oracle Lite and Oracle 8i Client on Win98

    I've had Olite v8i running on my Win98 machine for a while now. I just installed Oracle 8i Client on my machine. Now, my JDBC driver for Oracle Lite does NOT work. What could have happened here??
    Thanks.

    HI Jeremy,
    I think, Your PATH was cranked up.
    The JDBC driver for OLite normally does not use any OCI DLLs, so that should not be the problem. As I said, the OLite dlls may be missing now from the PATH.
    Any error messages? "Does not work" is a bit... fuzzy.

  • Unable to install Oracle XE Client on Ubuntu 8.04 - "no such user"

    Hi,
    I've just installed Oracle XE client on my desktop machine (64bit Ubuntu 8.04), and I had to manually create some users and groups:
    sudo groupadd nobody
    sudo groupadd oinstall
    sudo useradd -s /bin/bash -g oinstall -G dba oracle
    sudo passwd oracle
    before the install would complete, due to what appears to be incorrect arguments to useradd by the installer.
    It took quite a lot of hunting to find the above, and I'm a little concerned since no one else seems to have had the same problems.
    I installed using:
    $ sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture oracle-xe-client_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb
    (the force-architecture was required for the server install on my server, so I did the same here)
    I read the install instructions on the oracle pages
    (http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/files/install.102/b25144/toc.htm#BABFEDEI) and didn't see anything about having to manually create these accounts, and I seem to have followed the rest of the instructions correctly.
    What did I do wrong? I'm probably going to have to do it again sometime, and I'm a little concerned that I might have just been causing trouble for myself by doing those extra manual steps.
    Note that I had to provide a password for the oracle user; how does oracle manage to log in using this account, since I didn't have to provide it anywhere?
    Any help/advice would be appreciated,
    many thanks,
    William
    BTW I'm really not happy with the preview/post message thing in this forum; I'm using Firefox 3.0.1 and if you use preview then the back button clears the entire text (yay, thanks!); I tried to be more cunning next time, and use the back button instead, but then none of the "preview", "post message" and "cancel" buttons work... so this was my third attempt at writing this message, and it's somewhat shorter than the original, like my patience :p

  • How to specifiy the provider to be Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client when creating a dynamic connection string with EF Code First from Database?

    I am trying to use the relatively new Code First from Database with the newest EF (6.x) and on an Oracle database (11g, but I have installed the newest ODTwithODAC). First of all, it works fine as long as the connection string is inside the App.Config file. But when I try to build it dynamically in the C# code (or rather, statically at the moment) it fails. I have it working with a dynamically built connection string when doing Model from Database though, so I'm at a loss right now.
    First, I have created a second constructor for the context class that takes a string and does base(connectionString). Then I build the connection string via
    OracleConnectionStringBuilder oracleBuilder = new OracleConnectionStringBuilder();
    oracleBuilder.DataSource = "TEST.BLA.COM";
    oracleBuilder.UserID = "ABC";
    oracleBuilder.Password = "abc";
    oracleBuilder.PersistSecurityInfo = true;
    string connection = oracleBuilder.ToStrin();
    Now trying to open an EntityConnection by giving to it this provider-specific connection string (or even the static one from the App.Config) doesn't work; I get "keyword not supported: user id"). Trying it by creating a context and giving this connection string doesn't work either. I'm pretty sure that this is because I didn't specify the provider to use; after all, it should use the Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client provider and not an SQL Server based one.
    I then tried to get around this by using an EntityConnectionStringBuilder on top and specifying the provider keyword there, but then I get "keyword not supported: provider" when using it in the context constructor, and "the 'metadata' keyword is always required" when using it with the EntityConnection constructor.
    As I said above: I bet it's the provider that I have to specify somehow, but I don't know how. The code that does work is the following:
    using (var context = new Model())
    context.Database.Connection.Open();
    context.Database.Connection.Close();
    When I read context.Database.Connection.ConnectionString, it is exactly the provider-specific connection string I created above, but I don't know where to specify the provider again. Do you know of any way to do this? Certainly there must be one.
    PS: I have also posted this question on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27979454/ef-code-first-from-database-with-managed-oracle-data-access-dynamic-connection because it is quite urgent and I'd like to use Code First from Database. Otherwise I'd have to go "back" to using Model from Database again, which is not ideal because we have updatable views where the .edmx-file has to be edited after every reload of the model, while with Code First from DB inserting into the view automatically works.

  • Database connection encryption and integrity with ColdFusion and Oracle thin client

    As ColdFusion datasource we are using the Oracle thin client to  connect with the database. So, basically we are using a JDBC URL such as  jdbc:oracle:thin:@... and as Driver Class oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver. This works successfully however we would like to set encryption and  integrity parameters as well. In Java this is done similarly by setting a  Properties object prior to getting a connection as follows:
    Properties prop = new Properties();
    prop.put("oracle.net.encryption_client", "REQUIRED");
    prop.put("oracle.net.encryption_types_client", "( DES40 )");
    prop.put("oracle.net.crypto_checksum_client", "REQUESTED");
    prop.put("oracle.net.crypto_checksum_types_client", "( MD5 )");
    OracleDataSource ods = new OracleDataSource();
    ods.setProperties(prop);
    ods.setURL("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:main");
    Connection conn = ods.getConnection();
    Is there a way that I can pass these parameters to the ColdFusion  datasource. Ideally, I would love to do this centrally in such way that a  change to all the cfquery or cfstoredproc is not needed.
    I also know that in application servers such as Oracle AS there is an  option when creating a datasource which says "Add Properties". In there  you can add such properties. So, I was thinking of maybe creating a  JNDI DS in the app. server and then magically connecting to it but this  may have some impacts on the app.
    Besides this I was also thinking of communicating with the CF  datasource through the CF admin API (cfide.adminapi.administrator) and  also the option of extending the Oracle driver so that when CF connects  with it these params are already set.
    I would love to have your professional opinion and suggestions on this.

    I believe the thin driver actually needs the IP address (not the DNS name). Also, is "java" the name of the Oracle instance to which you are trying to connect?
    Try the following:String driver = "jdbc:oracle:thin";
    String dbIP = "W2RZ1NXG01's IP address";
    String dbPort = "1530";
    String dbSid = "java";
    String dbUser = "Admin";
    String dbPswd = "apassword";
    String cnctStr = driver + ":@" + dbIP + ":" + port + ":" + dbSid;
    try
        Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
        con = DriverManager.getConnection( cnctStr, dbUser, dbPswd );
        stmt = con.createStatement();
        stmt.executeUpdate(createString);
        stmt.close();
        con.close();
    catch(SQLException ex)
        System.err.println( "The following SQLException occurred: " + ex );
        System.err.println( "Message: " + ex.getMessage() );

    Can Oracle 11g client even be installed on the Windows 7 Home Premium 64?
    Thanks!

    Hi;
    As mention here home OS not supported, so as mention here again if you make some googling you can find link&blog which is mention to create WM machine, install linux(you can use OEL linux which is free and can be download from e-delivery site) than you can make 11g installation on it

  • 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.

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function odbc_connect() in /var/www/html/waseem.php on line 20
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Is the problem with oci_connect or odbc_connect?
    The phpinfo() output shows '--without-unixODBC' which may be a root cause. There is no 'odbc' section shown in the phpinfo() output so I wouldn't expect odbc calls to work.
    But if the issue is with OCI8, then make sure that Oracle environment variables and LD_LIBRARY_PATH are set BEFORE starting Apache.
    More information on OCI8 and PHP is in http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/php/underground-php-oracle-manual.html
    Also see http://wiki.oracle.com/page/PHP+Oracle+FAQ
    The PHP forum on OTN is http://www.oracle.com/technology/forums/php.html

  • JVM Crash With Oracle OCI Client

    Hi
    My app is running on Windows 7 64 bit, Jboss 4.2, launched from Eclipse, and runs fine when I use the Oracle thin client (10g, 32bit). However when I try to use the OCI client, I get this:
    # A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
    # EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x6d906f21, pid=4740, tid=5656
    # JRE version: 6.0_21-b07
    # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (17.0-b17 interpreted mode windows-x86 )
    # Problematic frame:
    # V [jvm.dll+0x106f21]
    I'll post the contents of the log in another message because it's too long to fit here. Using the thin client is NOT an option unfortunately as the thin driver is missing some functionality that we need to use.
    I've installed the Oracle client in a folder that doesn't contain spaces, or parentheses (c:\oracle\.....) and the JDK is installed in a similar directory (c:\java\...)
    I've tried both 32bit and 64 bit versions of JDK1.6 and the Oracle 10g client. I have also tried mixed mode and interpreted mode JVM (Xint) with the same results.
    ojdbc14.jar is in my JBoss server's lib directory, and ocijdbc10.dll is in my path (c:\windows\system32).
    Anyone any ideas what's going wrong? Been trying to fix this for days now. Appreciate any help.
    Richard

    Sorted it (well, my colleague did anyway). We installed a fresh version (32 bit) JDK (6u21), the Oracle 10g (10.0.3) client (32 bit) and made sure that there were no other OCI DLLs anywhere. I had some in the JBoss bin directory which I had copied in earlier that morning and forgotten about. So, the only OCI DLLs I have now are in Oracle's installation directory. Once we removed those erroneous DLLs from the JBoss directory, the server made the connection successfully. I don't full understand why, because I was getting the error earlier without the erroneous DLLs being present too, so I think there was some additional interaction going on somewhere. One other thing that may have been important is the tnsnames.ora file I had. We found a post that said the tnsnames file generated by the installer, when it only has one entry in it, can include dodgy whitespace at the end which can cause problems. So, just to be on the safe side we added a second entry (to another DB) - maybe that was something to do with it.
    So, the Oracle 10g client and OCI driver DOES work on Windows 7 64 bit (at least for me anyway)

  • Oracle 8i Server (32 bit) and oracle 9i client (32) bit on Win 2003 64bit??

    Hi,
    1st server (DB Server)
    OS : Windows 2000 Server
    Oracle 8i Server (32 bit)
    2nd server (Web Server)
    OS : Windows 2003 SP2 (64 bit)
    Oracle 9i client (32 bit)
    After i installed, oracle 9i client (32 bit) in Windows 2003 SP2 (64 bit), i managed to install and configure tnsnames and connects using SQL Plus. However, i CANNOT see Oracle in ODBC.
    Que 1 : Why? Why i cannot see any Oracle in ODBC? Is it because of 64 bit?
    Que 2: If i installed Oracle 9i client (64 bit), will it solve the problem?
    Que 3: Will my .Net software gives problem when application installed in IIS interacts with DB server???
    thanks

  • How to install Oracle Database Client 32-bit libraries.

    Dear All,
    In the document : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/b31765.pdf
    it is written "For 64-bit Linux system installations, you must use the Oracle Database Client 32-bit libraries"
    how can i install just the libraries from OUI Database 11.2
    Is it must to install these libraries first, whatif I install Oracle11.2 64bit client, and then install the OBIEE. Anyhow i need to install OracleDBClient to connect to Oracle server 11.2.

    You can't "just install the libraries", you need a full ORacle client installation. The Oracle client can be installed after OBIEE but you must have an Oracle client to connect to an Oracle database via OCI (which is the recomended approach). 64bit client should be fine as long as it has the 32bits libraries. The 10g client does, not sure about the 11g client. Make sure you install the FULL Oracle client, not the Instant Client. The 32bits client libraries are located under lib32, the lib directory is for the 64bits ones. You might need ot re-link them if they were linked correctly during the client installation. But for more information post a message in the Oracle client forum, this is the OBIEE forum.

  • How to install Oracle 817 Client on Redhat Linux7.2

    I try to install oracle 817 client on a dell server running Redhat Linux7.2, the installer won't start. Are there any pre-requisites I have to set for client install to work on linux? Does 817 installer work on Linux7.2?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Joe,
    I have the same issue. It's probably due to an incompatibility of the jdk 1.1.8 on the CD.
    Have you tried using another one ? http://www.blackdown.org/

  • Using SQLDriverConnect with special characters in password fails, same info with ODBC (Oracle instant client) works fine

    Hi,
    on a windows 2008 machine that has the Oracle instant client 11_1 installed (11.01.00.06) i am calling SQLDriverConnect in the following way:
    std::string str = "Driver={Oracle in instantclient11_1};Dbq=//10.10.101.66:1521/orcl;;Uid=myUser;pwd=a;b";
    odbcRc = SQLDriverConnect(hdbc, NULL, (SQLTCHAR*)str.c_str(), str.size(), (SQLTCHAR*)szConnStrOut, 1024, &cbConnStrOut, SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT)) == SQL_ERROR);
    as long as the password contains no special chars (namely semicolon) it works fine. but when I try to use special chars in the password It stops working, with an invalid username/password error.
    State: 28000 Native error: 1017 Message: [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
    i tried different variations of adding " (\") over the password, over the entire pwd=a;b or braces { but nothing seems to work.
    the thing is that using ODBC works! what I did was:
    open ODBC, go to System DSN tab, add "Oracle in instantclient11_1", then fill the following information:
    Data source name: Anything
    TNS Service Name: //10.10.101.66:1521/orcl
    User ID: myUser
    then i press test connection, enter the password "a;b"
    and it works!
    I cannot figure out what's my problem.
    Thanks,
    Roy.

    I've created your test table in my Oracle database using this extra character and I'm able to describe it properly.
    SQL> desc test;
    Name Null? Type
    ATTIVITÀ VARCHAR2(40)
    My character set being used is:
    SQL> select * from v$nls_parameters;
    NLS_CHARACTERSET
    WE8ISO8859P15
    NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET
    AL16UTF16
    NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS
    BYTE
    So as long as it doesn't work for you in your native Oracle database I don't think it would work with DG4ODBC. So yes, it would be best to log a service request so that the Oracle database support can check out the NLS issue.

    To be complete here the describe of the MySQL table native and using DG4ODBC:
    mysql> create table TEST (attività Varchar(40));
    Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
    mysql> desc TEST;
    ---------------------------------------------------+
    | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
    ---------------------------------------------------+
    | attività | varchar(40) | YES | | NULL | |
    ---------------------------------------------------+
    1 row in set (0.00 sec)
    SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.2.0 Production on Wed Sep 28 09:20:17 2011
    SQL> desc "gateway"."TEST"@MYSQL_DG4ODBC_EMGTW_1122_DB;
    Name Null? Type
    attività VARCHAR2(80)
    So in general it should work.
