Oracle Client in Citrix Server

It is fail to install Oracle8i Client Release 3 (8.1.7) in our Citrix Metaframe server via Add/Remove programs. After I select the location of Client 8i installation path and press Next button, nothing was appeared. The oracle client installation never start.
But I can install the oracle client in any desktop machine using this CDROM and I can use Add/Remove program in Citrix server to install Visual Basic program and other program.
I don't know why nothing happen when I execute the Oracle client installation.
Please help and advise.

Bug in 817
If your running from the CD, then you need to copy all the files to your network somewhere.
Once on the network/hard disk, search the contents of the CD for a file named symcjit.dll and rename to symcjit.old. There will be more than 1 of these files, and you must rename all of them.
Then run setup again.

The amount of information you provide is surprisingly sparse, assuming you want assistance.
So - if you want help, you might wnat to provide some information:
- the operating system (including edition, and major service pack if WIndows, or distro && major/minor release and kernel if *nix)
- the URL froim which you downloaded
- the country yuo are in (since ORacle could redirect to several sitres based on region)
- the command or executable, including directory path, you run or double-click on
- the 'exact' error message, or if a generic one like "Unknown", perhaps a screen shot to convince us that it is actually such a generic message
It's just a suggestion, but answering in such detail actually tells us you are serious about resolving the issue - you put in effort, and that may convince us to return some effort.

Any docs on HOW TO INSTALL ORACLE CLIENT ON OBIEE SERVER?`

Thanks...

Generally speaking the way to installing Oracle Client does not depend directly on the product that is going to use it
If some product requires some specific Oracle Client versions or Oracle Client configurations you should find this information in the product documentation (i.e OBIEE Server) and not in Oracle Client documentation.
You can find Oracle Client documentation (named "Database Client") in the Installation sections of tahiti.oracle.com. For example for 11.2: http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/portal.portal_db?selected=11&frame=#microsoft_windows_installation_guides.

Oracle client for siebel server configuration

Hi ,
To install siebel as prerequisite we are installing oracle client on the siebel server machine. Our client is providing ldap.ora instead of tnsnames.ora file. Through out my earlier projects we used to have tnsnames.ora entry which is having connection details of database. CAn you Please confirm instead of having tnsnames.ora , can we use ldap .ora which is having Db server details in it. Have you ever seen other clients using this way without tnsnames.ora for siebel installation.
Can you please provide any documentation which confirms that we must need tnsnames.ora, not ldap.ora.
Thanks much in advance.

ODAC vs oracle client on Windows server 2008

Hello,
Apologies in advanced if this is a silly question.
I am currently working with a .NET application team that connects to oracle. I am attempting to host there application on my servers. I have tested connectivity to there DB with SQLplus using the 11.2 oracle client.
The application team is asking me to install Oracle Developer tools on the server to replace the client. One of the members of the operate team told me that this is a requirement for there application to talk to oracle. I don't necessarily think they are correct, are there any oracle dependence that would require to ODT to be installed to run a .net application on a server? It's my understanding that ODT is primary used as a plug in for VS.
Thanks in advance,
Dax

DaxDax,
You are correct that you do not need the Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio to be installed on the server. What the team is probably meaning to ask is for you to install "Oracle Data Provider for .NET" which is also part of the ODAC install. They probably got the two names mixed up.

Oracle client with Citrix Xenapp 64 bit

Hi,
I have below queries :
1) Can we install Oracle 9i client 32 bit on Citrix Xenapp 64 bit machine ?
2) Can we install Oracle 9i client 64 bit on Citrix Xenapp 64 bit machine ?
3) Can we install Oracle 11g client 32 bit on Citrix Xenapp 64 bit machine ?
4) Can we install Oracle 11g client 64 bit on Citrix Xenapp 64 bit machine ?

Queries do not make much sense.
Oracle does not provide client db drivers for a hypervisor or vritual machine system software. It provides it for the operating system used.
Oracle provide client drivers, 32bit and/or 64bit, for a number of operating systems and operating system versions. Does Oracle provide drivers for Windows XP? Yes. For Windows Vista? Yes. For Windows 7? Yes.
See Instant Client Downloads.
Whether such a driver works on a Windows o/s that is running in a virtualised container, and can provide database connectivity, depends on the nature of that container's support for the underlying operating system, and the configuration of that container ito of network connectivity to the real world.
Oh yes - using Oracle 9i in any shape or form also does not make sense. It is a product discontinued years ago.

2 Oracle Clients in the server

Guys,
we have a server which has an Oracle 8.1.7 installed. Since we developed a new .net application that requires Oracle 9iR2 Client, we have to install an Oracle 9iR2 also on the same machine. However, we are having problems executing stored procs that has an out parameter particulary with a clob datatype. I assume that the .net is still using the old oledb drivers of 8.1.7 instead of 9iR2. What should we do?

I have a somewhat similar issue. I think your assumption may be wrong though:
"However, because the Oracle Provider for OLE DB is a COM component, only one instance can be active at a time. This means that a later OLE DB installation will render the previous one inactive."

Problem connecting Oracle client 11g to server 11g

I'm trying to connect a second computer to the Oracle Server computer with a client. I have a listener running, and correct settings for the net manager. The error that I get is:
"the test did not succeed, ORA 12170: TNS connect timeout occurred. there may be an error in the fields entered (they are correct), or the server may not be ready for a connection. Is there something I have to do with the router? I'm on a wireless connection is there any problem with that?

We need to see your tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files on your client computer.
We need to see the results of
lsnrctl statusfrom the database server
In addition to the following boilerplate comments, I've been doing a series of articles on tns connection issues at edstevensdba.wordpress.com
=================================
A couple of important points.
First, the listener is a +server side only+ process. It's entire purpose in life is to receive requests for connections to databases and set up those connections. Once the connection is established, the listener is out of the picture. It +creates+ the connection. It doesn't +sustain+ the connection. One listener, with the default name of LISTENER, running from one oracle home, listening on a single port, will serve multiple database instances of multiple versions running from multiple homes. It is an unnecessary complexity to try to have multiple listeners or to name the listener as if it belongs to a particular database. That would be like the telephone company building a separate switchboard for each customer.
Additional notes on the listener: One listener is capable of listening on multiple ports. But please notice that it is the *listener* using these ports, not the database instance. You can't bind a specific listener port to a specific db instance. Similarly, one listener is capable of listnening on multiple IP addresses (in the case of a server with multiple NICs) But just like the port, you can't bind a specific ip address to a specific db instance.
Second, the tnsnames.ora file is a +client side+ issue. It's purpose is for address resolution - the tns equivalent of the 'hosts' file further down the network stack. The only reason it exists on a host machine is because that machine can also run client processes.
Assume you have the following in your tnsnames.ora:
{code}
larry =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myhost)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = curley)
{code}
Now, when you issue a connect, say like this:
{code}
$> sqlplus scott/tiger@larry
{code}
tns will look in your tnsnames.ora for an entry called 'larry'. Finding it, tns sends a request through the normal network stack to (PORT = 1521) on (HOST = myhost) using (PROTOCOL = TCP), asking for a connection to (SERVICE_NAME = curley).
Where is (HOST = myhost) on the network? When the request gets passed from tns to the next layer in the network stack, the name 'myhost' will get resolved to an IP address, either via a local 'hosts' file, via DNS, or possibly other less used mechanisms. You can also hard-code the ip address (HOST = 123.456.789.101) in the tnsnames.ora.
Next, the standard networking process delivers the message to port 1521 on myhost. Hopefully, there is a listener on myhost configured to listen on port 1521, and that listener knows about SERVICE_NAME = curley. If so, the listener will spawn a server process to act as the intermediary between your client and the database instance. Communication to the server process will be on a randomly selected available port. At that point the listener is out of the process and continues to user port 1521 to await other connection requests.
What can go wrong?
First, there may not be an entry for 'larry' in your tnsnames. In that case you get "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified" No need to go looking for a problem on the host, with the listener, etc. If you can't place a telephone call because you don't know the number (can't find your telephone directory (tnsnames.ora) or can't find the party you are looking for listed in it (no entry for larry)) you don't look for problems at the telephone switchboard.
Maybe the entry for larry was found, but myhost couldn't be resolved to an IP address (say there was no entry for myhost in the local hosts file). This will result in "ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist"
Maybe there was an entry for myserver in the local hosts file, but it specified a bad IP address. This will result in "ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist"
Maybe the IP was good, but there is no listener running: "ORA-12541: TNS:no listener"
Maybe the IP was good, there is a listener at myhost, but it is listening on a different port. "ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error"
Maybe the IP was good, there is a listener at myhost, it is listening on the specified port, but doesn't know about SERVICE_NAME = curley. "ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor"
================

Oracle client 9i and server 10g

Sorry for incovenience..
Edited by: Chanchal Wankhade on Oct 19, 2012 4:15 AM

Are the query plans the same on the two servers? Do they have the same data? The same initialization parameters? Are your statistics accurate?

Instant Client with SQL Server - HELP!!

G'day all...
My goal is to connect to a server using Oracle Database version 8.1.7.4, from a server which does not have either Oracle Database or the full Oracle Client, preferrably using SQL Server DTS packages.
With that said, I have installed instant client basic and instant client ODBC suppliment on our first development server using the instructions at the following link without any difficulties, although I do admit that I only have a tnsnames.ora file and not a sqlnet.ora file:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/oci/instantclient/instantclient.html
The trouble is, when I attempt to deploy it on any of our other servers it fails. When I attempt to connect using Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle in a DTS package in SQL Server I get the following error message:
HResult of 0x8004005 (-2147467259) returned Unexpected error occurred. An error result was returned without an error message.
(Note: This is seen on all other servers I've tried this on except for the first one).
I have also tried setting up a System ODBC connection using the Instant Client driver but it returned this error message:
Unable to connect
SQLState=S1000
[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-12705: invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified
In desperation I have also tried installing the Oracle RDB Driver and the Oracle 8.1.7.8.1.0 ODBC driver. Both appear to install successfully yet nothing seems to work.
As far as I can tell,l these are the differences between the first server and the other servers:
- First server is MS SQL Server 2000 version: 8.00.760, rest are 8.00.818
- First server is running MS SQL Server Analysis services, rest are not
- First server is MS Windows 2000 Advanced Server, rest are MS Windows 2000 Server
So my first question: Does anyone know if the Instant Client tool works with SQL Server version: 8.00.818?
My second question: Can anyone else suggest something that I haven't tried yet, short of installing the Full Oracle Client on this server? Not that I'm opposed to doing that, it's just that it's a last resort idea as of now...
Please help - need to roll this into production soon...

Kent, I see that many others have reported that error (doing
a google search), but I see no ready answers. I saw something that
reminded me of a connection string value that I've seen answer some
problems. May be worth a shot for you: try adding this string to
the connection string (in "advanced options") for your datasource:
AuthenticationMethod=Type2
If it doesn't solve it, remove it. But keep it handy in case
it ever may help with some other problem.
Here's one other possible answer for you:

Transfer data from 2 oracle version to sql server 2005

Hi,
I have two database servers on different machines. They are
1) Oracle 8.1.7.4
2) Oracle 7.3.1.4
I have to create agents which can transfer tables from these two databases to one machine having sql server 2005 database.
Please tell me what are the options. What drivers i need to install on machine having sql server 2005 so that i can transfer data from both oracle versions.
Thanks
Rajneesh.

You could create a linked server. Install the Oracle client on the server with SQL Server 2005, setup the TNS to your Oracle databases, create the linked server and then grab the data that way. There are migration tools as well but if the database is small in size I found linked servers to work and give me better control over the migration. This assumes that the database is not very large. If it is really large a migration tool might be a better option.

Which oracle client works with both Oracle 11.2.0.2 and BizTalk 2006 R2

Hi there
My Oracle11.2.0.2 is installed on linux server. My Biztalk2006R2 is installed on Windows Server 2003 R2 x64. I have already installed BizTalk Adapter for Oracle on the Biztalk server and now require to install Oracle Client to make Biztalk able to retrieve data from Oracle11.2.0.2 using the oracle client.
From the following link,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa559822%28v=BTS.20%29.aspx
I came to know that the only oracle clients compatible with Biztalk adapter for oracle are as below:
1) Oracle client 8i
2) oracle client 9i
3) oracle client 10i
Now I need to install an oracle client on biztalk server in order to make biztalk talk to oracle and retrieve data from it.
Question1: which of the above clients should i install on biztalk server that is compatible with both Oracle11.2.0.2 as well as Biztalk server 2006 R2?
Question2: How to install and configure this client to make it work correctly?
Please help.. thanks.

The Biztalk Adapter interface with Oracle software has information, requirements per referenced document that does not make sense.
E.g. "10i" does not exist and the requirement "Oracle ODBC driver 9.2.0.5.4" means that only 9.2 Client can be used. (Mixing parts from one Database Client product version with another version is not allowed/supported/certified.)
Btw, does that machine happen to have Itanium hardware? (probably no, since you stated x64)
For Oracle's OS requirements, 2003 was certified with/from 9.2.0.3 (and likely also terminal patch set version 9.2.0.8). Not sure about Server 2003 R2, 32 or 64-bit. I'm pretty sure 10.2 was certified on 2003 R2, but the note likely refers to 10.1 versions (before it was known it would be labeled 10g, g for grid replacing the i ).
This FAQ may have some more information: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/windows/faq-100614.html
For Oracle client - server interoperability and certification, there's a support matrix on MOS. See doc id 207303.1.
It seems 9.2 is supported on the wire to operate with 11.2 server, but Client with at least patch set 9.2.0.4 is required.
So, I guess best bet is to find updated requirements.
If you manage to get hold of 9.2.0.5, after verifying that 2003 R2 is ok, then it looks like the puzzle could be put together for a complete picture.
For ease of install, take a look at the Instant Client. (However, there's no 9.2 IC, that type of client install came later)
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-097480.html
Edit;
some corrections, specially about 9.2 version
