Oracle 9i OCCI and Oracle 8i Database

Hi All
I need to use OCCI on my client side. My database server runs on Oracle 8.1.6.0.0 . Is it possible to use OCCI (ie Oracle 9i) as mentioned?
Prompt reply will be highly appreciated.
Thank you
Ronak Chokshi

I have not seen 9i OCCI yet however, if Oracle's upgrades/new versions are consistent from 7.1 onwards, what you need to worry is to check only the SQL*NET setup, if you are using database server installed on different platform.(either via odbc or oracle's own ole (windows client)). If database is also on the same system, things would be very simple. SQL*NET can be tested using standard sql*plus executed from client side. In case of ODBC setup, odbc has its own test utility by which database can be queried. OTN site has detailed documentation on SQL*NET set up. Hope this helps??

Error oracle.sql.* and oracle.jdbc.driver.* not found when using oracle as a database

I am using oracle as database and weblogic 4.5. I have copied the classes12.zip file in lib directory of weblogic. I am getting the error that oracle.sql.* and oracle.jdbc.driver.* not found when i am importing these packages in a jsp file. what i need to do to import oracle driver packages?I put it in the classpath also.
Please Advice!
Thanks in advance

Hi Anupama,
First of all I would be surprised if you would not like to use the connection pooling feature of weblogic (in which case you might not be needing the import the classes directly), and would like to open direct connections to your database. Anyways for doing that I would recommend you to check out the readme doc that ships
along with the jdbc oracle (classes12.zip etc). I am giving an excerpt over here:
These are a few simple things that you should do in your JDBC program:
1. Import the necessary JDBC classes in your programs that use JDBC.
For example:
import java.sql.*;
import java.math.*;
2. Register the Oracle driver before before calling other JDBC APIs.
(This is not needed if you are using the JDBC Server-side Internal
Driver because registration is done automatically in the server.)
To register the Oracle driver, make sure the following statement
is executed at least once in your Java session:
DriverManager.registerDriver(
new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
3. Open a connection to the database with the getConnection call.
Different connection URLs should be used for different JDBC
drivers. The following examples demonstrate the different URLs.
For the JDBC OCI8 Driver:
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:oracle:oci8:@<database>",
"scott", "tiger");
where <database> is either an entry in tnsnames.ora or a SQL*net
name-value pair.
For the JDBC Thin Driver, or Server-side Thin Driver:
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:oracle:thin:@<database>",
"scott", "tiger");
where <database> is either a string of the form
<host>:<port>:<sid> or a SQL*net name-value pair.
For the JDBC Server-side Internal Driver:
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:oracle:kprb:");
Note that the trailing ':' character is necessary. When you use
the Server-side Internal Driver, you always connect to the
database you are executing in. You can also do this:
Connection conn
= new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver().defaultConnection();
Hope this helps,
Thanks,

Diff Between Oracle BPM Studio and Oracle BPEL Process Manager

1)What is the difference between Oracle BPM Studio and Oracle BPEL Process Manager?
2)What is the connection between Oracle BPM Studio and Oracle BPEL Process Manager?

Hi,
As of today you should install SOA Suite 11g
Fr this you will need to install Database (for development you can use XE)
Run RCU utility to crete DB schemas for SOA Suite.
Install Weblogic server
Install SOA Suite as an option to Weblogic
Create SOA Domain.
It is physically possible to do it in 2GB but is far better on 3 - 4GB
You can consider installing DB on different machine.

Date Formats in Oracle Applications Forms and Oracle Self Service

Can someone tell me what determines the Date format that appears on Oracle Applications Forms and Oracle Self Service ?
*1.* In Oracle HRMS,all dates i see on the Forms are of the Format "MM/DD/YYYY" but my NLS Parameters are not in this format .I'm giving the results for the NLS parameters below.I thought the date formats are determined by the NLS format.Is there something else that determines the date format appearing on Oracle Applications Forms ?
NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS
NLS_DATE_FORMAT     :DD-MON-RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE     :AMERICAN
NLS_LANGUAGE     :AMERICAN
NLS_TERRITORY     :AMERICA
NLS_INSTANCE_PARAMETERS
NLS_DATE_FORMAT     :DD-MON-RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE     :
NLS_LANGUAGE     :american
NLS_TERRITORY     :america
NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS
NLS_DATE_FORMAT     :DD-MON-RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE     :
NLS_LANGUAGE     :american
NLS_TERRITORY     :america
*2* What about the profile option : ICX_DATE_FORMAT_MASK ? Does it determine the Date Format for Self Service alone or does it impact the date format appearing on Oracle Applications Forms and the actual database also ?
*3* If I use a to_date function in ,say, a pl/sql function that i code for some custom requirements,what will be the output of the date format ? Does it take the format given in NLS paramaters or is it determined by anything else?
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
Thanks for your reply ,but I'm still confused ..
Here are the profile options I'm seeing for one of my instance :
ICX: Date format mask - 12/31/1999
ICX: Date language - American English
ICX: Language - American English
ICX: NLS Sort - BINARY
ICX: Territory - United States
ICX: Numeric characters - NULL
NLS parameters are given in my original email.
In Self Service applications(OAF) ,the date format is appearing in "mm/dd/yyyy" format but when i login to Forms based applications ,I see the date format as "dd-mon-yyyy".What determines this date format ?
How can i make the date format to always return one format everywhere ,be it Self Service (OAF) or Oracle Forms ?
I'm getting date format related errors for my code because of default date formats changing intermittently when i log into Self Service.I want to know if there is anyway to prevent this from happening?
Thanks in advance.

Connection between oracle 9i server and oracle 9i client

hi there,
i have installed both oracle 9i server and oracle 9i client in my system.how can i connect these two to have connection between these server and client?
Because i was using only 9i server for creating database and for other purposes.i have not used 9i client yet.
Please write me the answer.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Balu,
If you have the Oracle 9i Client, you can just edit your TNSNAMES.ora file of your client to have a TNS Entry for your new Database & try connecting it. You just need to try TNSPING & ensure that you can reach the Listener.
Are you facing any specific problems ?

About Oracle Heterogeneous Services and Oracle Gateway

Hi All,
I am very new at this topic, I want to know:
1)Oracle Heterogeneous Services and Oracle Gateway same or not?Need license or not?
2)If want Creating Database Link from Oracle 11g to Sybase AS 15.5 Using Oracle Heterogeneous Services what drivers should I install from my pc(windows 7) and from my server(Linux red hat 5)?please give me link for this
3)Is there any link Step by step to configure odbc until creating dblink?
4)what more convenient, connect sybase from Oracle Heterogeneous Services or Oracle Gateway?
Thank you so much for your help
Regards
JOE

Joe,
let copy/paste your questions and comment inline:
1)Oracle Heterogeneous Services and Oracle Gateway same or not?Need license or not?
Let me first clarify one thing, heterogeneous services is the generic mechanism in the Oracle database used by all gateways. The product you are talking about is the Database Gateway for ODBC or the Database Gateway for Sybase.
The Database Gateway for ODBC is available for Linux and Windows. It is the free product which does not require an Oracle license. The license is included in your database license. It is a generic gateway which allows you to connect with any suitable 3rd party ODBC driver to a matching foreign database. As it is a generic connectivity which aloows you to connect to real databases but also to MS Excel or even Text files as long as you have a suitable ODBC driver, its capability is very limited.
The more powerful gateway is the Database Gateway for Sybase. It covers the same functionality as DG4ODBC but it allows you also to work with distributed transactions, it allows you to call remote Sybase stored procedures etc. This gateway is design for Sybase ASE connections, so it is also able to map certain Oracle functions to Sybase equivalents. This Database Gateway for Sybase is NOT for free, it requires an additional license.
2)If want Creating Database Link from Oracle 11g to Sybase AS 15.5 Using Oracle Heterogeneous Services what drivers should I install from my pc(windows 7) and from my server(Linux red hat 5)?please give me link for this
That depends on your preferences. Both gateways are available for Linux and for Windows. When using DG4ODBC you only need to pay attention that you get a suitable 3rd party ODBC driver for this platform with the matching word size (64bit for 64bit DG4ODBC and 32bit ODBC driver for installations of DG4ODBC on 32bit platforms).
The latest software release is currently 11.2.0.3 and it can be downloaded (and installed from scratch) from "My Oracle Support". Just open the Patches & Updates section, look for Patch 10404530: 11.2.0.3.0 PATCH SET FOR ORACLE DATABASE SERVER and make sure to choose the platform you want to use. Then check out the readme as it lists which of these download CD's contains the gateway software.
BTW, the CD contains DG4ODBC and DG4SYBS and it is up to you to decide during the installation which product you want to use.
3)Is there any link Step by step to configure odbc until creating dblink?
The ODBC driver installation differs from vendor to vendor and platform to platform - so we don't have a specific note how to configure the ODBC driver. This kind of question is better handled by the ODBC driver vendor.
Regarding the set up of DG4ODBC on Windows you find suitable information in the knowledge base on My Oracle Support. Just look for:
How to Configure DG4ODBC (Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC) on Windows 32bit to Connect to Non-Oracle Databases Post Install          [Document 466225.1]
and for DG4SYBS:
How to Configure DG4SYBS (Oracle Database Gateway for Sybase) on 64bit Unix (Linux, AIX, HP-UX Itanium and Solaris) Post Install          [Document 437696.1]
How to Setup DG4SYBS (Database Gateway for Sybase) on a 64bit Windows          [Document 1319852.1]
4)what more convenient, connect sybase from Oracle Heterogeneous Services or Oracle Gateway?
It really depends on your needs. DG4SYBS is surly easier to install as this gateway comes with everything you need and you do not have to find a suitable ODBC driver nor get the ODBC driver working. It is also more powerful as you can for example use triggers that replicate data changes in an Oracle database to the Sybase database within the same transaction. When you want to call Sybase stored procedures you can also do that with DG4SYBS. So it really depends on your needs.

What is the different between Oracle Process Manuf and Oracle Discrete Manufatur in oracle?

Dear What is the different between Oracle Process Manufacturing and Oracle Descret Manufacturing in Oracle?

Hi Elad,
Depending on the requirement and the availability we go with implementing a particular database.
For xi point of view there is no difference between oracle and SQL database. However you need to intall the drivers of SQL.
Even there is no difference in the communication channel configuration.
Reward points if found helpful.

API Doc for oracle.forms.ui and oracle.ewt available (Forms 9.0 PJC)?

Hi there,
where can I get the Java Docs for the oracle.forms.ui and oracle.ewt Packages for implementing Forms 9.0 PJC?
Where can I get more docu about building PJCs? Found already some samples and
Thanks, Markus

At this time, the JavaDoc for these classes is not available.
As a general rule you will find that the Methods and properties of the underlying oracle.ewt.* classes closely mirror the equivilent java.awt.* classes, so you should be able to gain a bit more information that way.
And yes setDropDownVisible does pop the combo list down, but it's a protected method which might be why you're having problems with it?
