Oracle client 9i doesn't work for windows ordinary user

Hello All,
I've installed oracle 9i client on windows xp. Client software works for user belonging to windows administrators group. it doesn't works for ordinary users not belonging to administrators group. Particularly when i run sqlplus from command line i get following error :
Incorrect environment variable PLUS_DFLT
Program execution error.
i also need access to Oracle ODBC driver.
When i try to configure ODBC source (created by user with administrator privileges) by common user i get following errors :
The setup routines for Oracle for Oracle in OraHome9i ODBC driver couldn't be loaded due to system error code 5
Could not load the setup or translator library
Very appreciate for any help.
Regards Arkadiusz Masny

It sounds like the users on the machine do not have access to the Oracle home directory. Check the permissions of the folder by right properties, select the user and check that they have read and then select advanced. Tick the "replace permission entries....." box and apply. This will re apply all user rights in all folders and subfolders. Try again.

Application Restart and Recovery APIs doesn't work for windows services

I am using the Application Restart and Recovery mechanism (provided in Windows API Code Pack for Microsoft.NET Framework) to collect some information (i.e. stack information when there's an unhandledexception) before my windows service crash down.
It works well for windows form applications, but the callback method wouldn't be called if the host is a windows service.
I have checked the article: https://msdn.microsoft.com/zh-cn/subscriptions/downloads/cc303708
But it doesn't specify clearly whether it works for a windows service. It seems that the recovery will only be activated when the user interacts with the error dialog of Windows Error Reporting (clicking "close" on the dialog, for example).
So I am wondering is my guess right that the Application Restart and Recovery mechanism doesn't work for windows services. Or is there a better way to meet my requirement?

I would suggest trying ARR if that's what you want to use. The restart portion won't work, but it doesn't need to as if you fail out of your service, the Windows service controller will handle recovery (up to and including restarting your service).
You configure those recovery actions either through code or one of the built in administrative tools for services such as services.msc.
DebugDiag/ADplus and similar tools ultimately do use built-in APIs; you don't need to add anything external to collect debugging information. You do however have to write a good deal of code to do somethings. It's pretty simple to use the unmanaged
function that I pointed out before and
MiniDumpWriteDump to write a minidump when you hit an unexpected error(the dbghelp.dll that comes installed with Windows has it so you don't need anything additional installed). You can even write a basic debugger that literally debugs a process using
only kernel32 functions (see
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms679301(v=vs.85).aspx if you're interested).

Oraclle 11g instant client x64 doesn't work in windows 7 x64

First of all I've read the software requirements in the installation guides for 11g instant client x64 and no support for Windows 7 is mentioned.. I'm not sure if this is the case any how here is the details of the problem:
I downloaded instant client (basic) and (sqlplus) and unzipped them on drive E, afterwards I created tnsnames.ora file with the following:
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = IGGY) (PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = ORCL)
and saved it in the instant client directory, afterwards I included the instant client directory in the user variable PATH value, and created system variable TNS_ADMIN and added the location of tnsnames.ora in the value.
Now the problem starts when I open MS-DOS and type: sqlplus system @ORCL, It then prompts for the password and when I try to enter anything the cursor doesn't move unless I press enter and the result is that I get the following error:
ORA-12154: TNS: COULD NOT RESOLVE THE CONNECT IDENTIFIER SPECIFIED
Any idea what the reason of this problem is?

Hello again,
I was able to reproduce ORA-12154 and the error raised beacause my DUMMY-HOST was not reachable. Using the correct hostname/IP address solved the issue. Can you check if you are able to ping and to telnet your hostname (IGGY).
Regards,
David

My Mic Doesn't Work for Windows 7!

My laptop Model is a Satellite M305-S4910 I just last week got my laptop upgraded to Windows 7, but when I use video chat on MSN Messenger or Skype or any type of Audio Recording it doesn't work, or when chatting it seems like my voice is from a far distance, Please I need help, It's the only why for me and my boyfriend to talk from overseas, I really need this mic to work Please help me
Thank You

Thanks Chen, but still the same result.
I'll narrow down the scenario(actually two scenarios) as per the way it's behaving on Windows 7 machines.
Case - 1
1. I do a SetEnvironmentVariable remotely.
2. I go to that remote machine and search in advanced settings -> system env variables window. Dont click on the OK Button. Close these windows.
Result: Yes it is there as an entry.
3. I open up a command prompt and type 'set'
Result: No it is not set.
4. Again open up advanced settings -> system env variables window. Click on the OK Button. Close these windows.
5. Now open up a command prompt window and type 'set'
Result: It is set now
Case 2:
1. I do a SetEnvironmentVariable remotely.
2. I go to that remote machine and search in advanced settings -> system env variables window. Dont click on the OK Button. Close these windows.
Result: Yes it is there as an entry.
3. I open up a command prompt and type 'set'
Result: No it is not set.
4. I do a system restart.
5. Open up a command prompt and type 'set'
Result: It is set now
Any idea why this is behaving like this(more or less like setting a user level env variable), please ? I've to some way get through this obstacle to advance further. Thanks a lot for the support

DVD software doesn't work for Windows 8

I bought a new Lenovo Slim USB Portable DVD Burner. With the drive came the following software: BurnNow, DVD Movie Factory, WinDVD. Unfortunately that software will work in Windows 7, but it won't install in Windows 8. How can I get the software for Windows 8?

You can try setting the installer (and then the application .exe's) to run in compatibility mode. See this for more:
http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-8/run-a-program-in-compatibility-mode-in-windows-8/
Note: If you don't get the Compatibility tab on the Properties for the installer apps, try copying them to a folder on a local drive first and running them from there.

Graphic card driver update doesn't work for Windows 8.1 upgrade (Ideapad Y500)

I upgraded my windows 8 to Windows 8.1 today and it probably is a huge mistake. After the upgrade my Ideapad Y500 started to look weird (Firefox stopped working). I searched around for solution and was told that I probably need to upgrade the driver to my graphic card. So I went to the driver download page and downloaded the NVIDIA GeForce GT750M Second VGA BIOS Update for Windows 8.1
I followed the instruction to run the "Winflash_Yx00s.bat" file, but after I seleted "yes" to let it modify the system, there is a very fast flashing a little black window (too fast for me to see what it is), and nothing happens afterwards. I checked to make sure that nothing is running in the background. After waited for half an hour I tried to restart the computer and still nothing happens. The display still looks weird.
Please help me!

Windows XP Quicktime doesn't work for Windows XP!!!

Ok. I bought Quicktime PRO for windows since it had features like looping.
But... it does not play wmv files!!!
The ultimate insult is that there is a wmv plugin for MAC version of quicktime.
And there's no obvious way to rant directly to Apple, or get my money back.
I do see that there has already been one post on this with no answer... thought I'd try again

QuickTime Player can't open Windows Media Player formats. It never could and you should have seen that when reading the Web page carefully.
The plug-in for Mac users is endorsed by Microsoft and is intended to replace the Windows Media Player for Mac. Microsoft hasn't updated WMP for Mac since 2003 and has discontinued it.
Flip4Mac is third party software that enables most WMP formats be played via QuickTime. Ask them to write a Windows version.

Setting environment variables remotely doesn't work for Windows 7

Hi,
$RemoteMachineList = 'machA', 'machB'
$session = New-PSSession $RemoteMachineList
Invoke-Command -Session $session {[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Role",0,"Machine")}
The above is the code snippet which I've tried for setting a machine level environment variable. After executing this code in a collection of XP and Windows 7 machines, when I go and check the advanced settings->system environment variables, I can see
the new entry "Role" in all the machines. But unfortunately, this env variables actually gets set only in XP machines(I did a set command from a cmd prompt/or an echo command) whereas in Windows 7 machines, this doesn't exists even though it
shows up in the advanced settings->system environment variables.
Tried in several machines, only Windows XP is yielding the required result.
Please help.
Thanks in advance !

OPA download - doesn't work for Windows 8 & Microsoft 2013?

I downloaded the OPA software on to my laptop however when I am in a project and right click "Rules" - I do not have any options to "add new word document" or "add new excel document".
Also, when I open a Rules doc that someone had sent me, I do not have OPA in the ribbon.
Do you know if OPA runs on windows 8 and microsoft word/excel 2013?
Thanks for your help!

Per this thread: When will OPA 10.4.3 be released?

OUTLOOK 2013 permission shared calendar Free/Busy doesn't work for some the users Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2003 that use outlook 2007/2010

Hello,
We are in coexitence organisation (transition Migration) Exchange 2003 sp2 and Exchange 2010 sp1.
Users in Exchange 2003 use outlook 2007 and outlook 2010
Users in Exchange 2010 use outlook 2007, outlook 2010 and outlook 2013.
Issue: users in Exchange 2003 can't open outlook 2013 user calendar when he has Busy/Free information as default permission in his calendar.
User in Exchange 2010 with outlook 2007 can't also open outlook 2013 user calendar when he has Busy/Free information as default permission in his calendar.
Is it normal ? or exist some configurations to do in order to coexist all thoses clients and servers ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Does this issue occur on Outlook only or both Outlook and OWA?
Since you have double checked the permissions via multiple methods, it seems there is nothing problem on permission. Please make sure the migration from Exchange 2003 server completed successfully.
If in OWA everything goes well (cannot see details), it should be an issue on the Outlook client side.
I suggest run Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins.
I suggest re-create profile to refresh the caches.
Thanks

[BUG]: MakeWritable doesn't work for mac

I'm trying to use oracle.jdeveloper.refactoring.util.MakeWritableHelper in my plugin, and I found it doesn't work for MAC. The byte code shows it only check the osname for "Windows" and "Linux".
and some Jdeveloper refactoring feature failed due to can't make file writable, they may also related to this class.

My MAC version is OSX 10.5.4.
I don't have a stacktrace. It just fails silently.
You can easily reproduce this bug by reformat a readonly file.
Here is the code I reverse engineered from oracle.jdeveloper.refactoring.util.Util.java:
public static boolean setReadOnly(java.net.URL url, boolean readOnly)
boolean ret = false;
java.lang.String cmdarray[] = null;
java.lang.String platformPathName = oracle.ide.net.URLFileSystem.getPlatformPathName(url);
java.lang.String osName = java.lang.System.getProperty("os.name", "");
if(osName.startsWith("Windows"))
cmdarray = (new java.lang.String[] {
"ATTRIB", readOnly ? "+R" : "-R", (new StringBuilder()).append('"').append(platformPathName).append('"').toString()
else
if(platformPathName.equalsIgnoreCase("Linux"))
cmdarray = (new java.lang.String[] {
"chmod", readOnly ? "u-w" : "u+w", (new StringBuilder()).append('"').append(platformPathName).append('"').toString()
if(cmdarray != null)
java.lang.Runtime runtime = java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime();
try
java.lang.Process process = runtime.exec(cmdarray);
if(process.waitFor() == 0)
ret = (new File(platformPathName)).canWrite();
if(ret)
oracle.ide.model.Node node = oracle.ide.model.NodeFactory.find(url);
if(node instanceof oracle.ide.model.TextNode)
oracle.ide.model.TextNode textNode = (oracle.ide.model.TextNode)node;
textNode.isReadOnly();
catch(java.io.IOException e)
e.printStackTrace();
catch(java.lang.InterruptedException e)
e.printStackTrace();
return ret;

The key message -

Looking up that error gives -

// *Cause: The connection request could not be completed because the listener

Apache Sling JCR Resource Resolver doesn't work for the anchor tags which is been rendered through j

Certainly I realized that Apache Sling JCR Resource Resolver doesn't work for the anchor tags which is been rendered through jquery or javascript.
e.g.
In Felix Console , in Apache Sling JCR Resource Resolver configuration I have added following mapping.
/content/myproject/-/
So If any anchor tag is there like <a href="/content/myproject/en.html"> click me </a> then it will be mapped to "/en.html" automatically.
But the problem is there in following scenario.
I have an anchor tag as follows.
<a href="#" id="test"> click here </a>
And I am assigning the href to anchor through JQUERY.
<script>
$("#test").attr("href","/content/myproject/en.html");
</script>
Ideally this should have been mapped to "/en.html".
But it is not mapping to "/en.html". It still shows "/content/myproject/en.html".
How to resolve this.
Thanks,
Sai

In a servlet you have access to the resourceResolver so if you know which attributes contain links then it's relatively easy to apply resourceResolver.map to those links.
Your challenge is clearly how do you know which attributes are links and which aren't. Its is the same challenge that makes parsing the response and rewriting it on the way out difficult - the JSON doesn't have any semantic meaning so how do identify which attributes require rewriting. There really is no good answer ot that question in my experience - all the options have down sides.
Create some convention - all attributes matching this pattern X get mapped before being converted to JSON (could be attributes whose name ends in link, or it could a convention applied to the value of the attribute - if the attribute is a string that starts with /content apply the resource resolver mapping. In this case you have train your developers to follow this convention which is the down side.
Create some configurable list of attribute names that require mapping. This is brittle, requires training and is easy to break.
Implement a client side version of the resource resolver mapping. It wouldn't be as full proof as server side mapping (because that takes into account but you could make it work for simple logic like stripping of /content/site/en. If ou are just trying to solve the simple version of this issue - stripping off the top of the repository path this might be your best option.
Not worry about it and set up Apache 301 redirects that catch any long URLs and redirect them to short URLs (so configure apache to look for any URL matching /content/site/en and strip off /content/site/en and do a 301 redirect to the shortened URL. You end up with a lot of extra HTTP request because of all the 301s but it would work (I wouldn't recommend this option - but it is possible).
