Oracle Client in Oracle 9iLite Setup

Hi to all,
I am hving a Oracle 9i Database running on WINNT. Now i want my Linux Box to access that database certainly i will be needing a Net Assistant on Linux Box ie a Oracle Client.
I want to if I download oracle 9i Lite for linux then will it be having Oracle client to connect to the other database.

Not sure what you want to accomplish. Intalling Oracle9i Lite/Mobile Server on Linux is certainly doable, and in fact it would connect Mobile Server/Linux with the Oracle9i Database/NT during installation. We simply install the Net9 Linux client software on the Linux.

Oracle Client vs Oracle Database

Hi all, I am trying to istall Oracle 9i database on my laptop and I have a few questions. Does the Oracle 9i Database include the Oracle client or di I have to install them seperately?
I have Oracle 8i database running on my system, do I need to uninstall it before installing Oracle 9i or they can both co-exist?
I will appreciate your insight on these questions. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
client software is integrated into server software. It's possible to have both concurrently, 8i and 9i, on your machine. But, especially since this is laptop and not a server machine,
pay attention to the system requirements.

Error in installing Oracle client 11g on Windows 2008 R2 (64bit) XenApp 6

I am trying to install "win64_11gR2_client.zip" Oracle 11g Client 64bit on Windows 2008 R2 that has been clamped and restricted by our security department. Details of the clamp:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/885409
The Windows 2008 R2 server is running on CITRIX XenApp 6.
When we try to install the client on a normal version of Windows 2008 R2 without the Clamp, the installation follows through and successfully. However, when we try to install the 11g Client on the Clamped Windows 2008 R2, we get the error below:
[INS-08802] Unable to instantiate the View class referred by View ID 'SummaryUI'
This indicates the primary issue is with the clamp. My issue now is knowing what exactly is causing the error. what restrictions should I enable from the clamp in order to get the installation working?
Here is the error log:

Installing oracle client 10g with response file

Well, from our .rsp files for Database Client installs:
oracle.client:DEPENDENCY_LIST={"oracle.winprod:10.2.0.1.0"}
oracle.winprod:DEPENDENCY_LIST={"oracle.odbc:10.2.0.1.0"}
# ODBC
#oracle.winprod:DEPENDENCY_LIST={"oracle.odbc:10.2.0.1.0"}
# OLE DB
#oracle.winprod:DEPENDENCY_LIST={"oracle.ntoledb:10.2.0.1.0"}
# ODP.NET för .NET v1
#oracle.winprod:DEPENDENCY_LIST={"oracle.ntoledb.odp_net:10.2.0.1.0"}
If you need ODP for .NET v2, you should complement the Oracle Home with install from ODAC 10.2.0.2.x (what a mess, isn't it).

Provider is not compatible with this version of Oracle client

I am trying to access Oracle(10.2) DB from a .NET 2.0 Console Application.(.exe) in a Win 2008.Web code is also on the same Win 2008 system
The Web application works fine and connects to teh DB , but when I try to run any of the Console applications it gives the error as:
Provider is not compatible with this version of Oracle client.
The Oracle.Dataaccess.dll versions which are available in GAC are 1.102.2.20 and 2.102.2.20.
and the Oracle client installed is 10.2.0.100
The complete error message is:
Unhandled Exception: Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client
at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleInit.Initialize()
at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleParameter..ctor(String parameterName, OracleDbType type, ParameterDirection direction)
Can any of you help me find a reason for this error.
Thanks in advance!!

Hi Greg,
I found out another reason this error was appearing.I am compiling the Console application in a 32-bit machine on 32-bit Oracle client.
The pre-compiled DLL and EXE is then exported to a 64-bit Win 2008 machine.
Also,The code has been compiled with ‘Any CPU’ .
The Web Application on the same system is working because the "Enable 32-bit Applications" is set to True.
Are there any DLLs or EXEs created when compiling in the 32-bit machine which is not compatible with the 64-bit machine?
Please help!!
Thanks,
Veena

What is an Oracle Client and why is it needed

Hi,
I have an application that is using an Oracle database as data source. Application and database is located on two different servers. Now I will move application to a new server and to do this I need to install an Oracle client and install this on the new application server. From my understanding this Oracle client is needed to make it possible for the application server to communicate with the database server. I wonder if someone can tell me more about this Oracle client, functionality, role and why it is needed?
I have been recommended to install the Oracle client 10g version. Where can I download this together with instructions of installation process?
FYI - database used is Oracle 10g EE.

Third-party products (and Oracle's own too) need certain Oracle DLLs in order to connect to the database. This set of files is called the Oracle client. You may also want to learn about tnsnames.ora because you need to edit it in order to use Oracle client to Oracle database.

How to validate prerequisite for ODP and Oracle Client connection

Hi.
I have a very simple application on .Net that connect to Oracle using ODP (was compiled with Oracle.DataAccess dll 10.2).
I want to check "connection prerequisite" (application will be able to connect to DB) before installing this aplication on other computers?
How can I check that ODP.NET version 10.2 or higher is installed on target host (registry check is not enopugh)?
I know that I can check ODP entries in registry - but this will not check Oracle Client and compatibility between client and ODP.
Also, if ODP was installed by ODAC XCopy installation - registry may be not updated by new ODP entry.
And - if I am installing on the computer, DB was installed on, Oracle Client can be not installed separately.
And one more issue: When I tried to run "test connection" method from installation, that use referenced dll on machine, that has only ODAC (with ODP) 11, - "Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleInit.Initialize()
at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection..cctor()" error message was thrown (policies for both ODAC 10.2 and 11 are exists in GAC (assembly), pointing to Oracle.DataAccess 11 from ODP 2x bin).
So, How and which components can I check to ensure appropriate versions of ODP and Oracle Client were installed and application will be connected?
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
You could check for the presense of Oracle.DataAccess.dll in the GAC. Bear in mind you'd also want to check the version and whether a policy files exists as well as a newer version + policy file will work too (but not without the policy file).
That wouldn't confirm the install is valid and works though, and I don't know of a way you could easily check that, apart from perhaps simply trying to run a small exe that attempts a connection to the database.
With respect to the type initializer exception, that occurs when ODP cant find the right oraops*.dll or oci.dll, usually due to the wrong one being found, but can also occur if one is not found at all. Quite often this is due to the application including ODP in its bin directory rather than letting ODP get picked up out of the gac. Prior to 10.2.0.2.20, ODP loads the dependencies based in PATH so multiple homes can cause it as well. 10.2.0.2.20 and higher ODP loads dll's based on DLLPATH registry entry.
Hope it helps,
Greg

Oracle client version :installed

In my system services ,the oracle client shown is OracleOraHome817ClientCache.
But in my Add or Remove Programs , it shows Oracle 10g InstantClient 10.2.0.3 installed as well.
so can I confim that my Oracle client is Oracle 8i, since my system services show Oracle 8i.
Thanks ,
Arc

It is possible to have many Oracle products installed on the same server. Just because you saw a service with client in the name and under add/remove programs something else doesn't mean anything. Which client should you/your application be using? Also, which client do you want to use by default? In that case whatever the home selector has selected first is the default client installed.

How to set commandtimeout for oracle client

Hi ,
does anybody have an idea how to set the command timeout for ODP or MS managed oracle client for oracle.
This property does not seem to be supported . Although there is property exposed for command time out it does not work for odp and for MS oracleclient it is not present at all. Could anyone provide a workaround for it.
Thanks in advance.

ODBC setup error for Oracle Client

Hi,
I'm trying to setup ODBC connection for my Oracle client while installing BO. Following are the steps I followed.
1. Downloaded the Oracle Client from the link http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-097480.html . From that downloaded two zip files. “Instant Client Package – Basic Lite" and “Instant Client Package – ODBC”. Extracted the Zip Files to the folder I created under C: as C:\Oracle\instantclient_11_2.
2. Since I'm setting up in ODBC in windows 2008 64-bit R2. I was advised to install 32 bit . So in cmd prompt, from the location C:\Oracle\instantclient_11_2, ran odbc_install.
3.Created the Environment variables as
i) *TNS_ADMIN - C:\Oracle\instantclient_11_2*
ii) *Oracle_Home - C:\Oracle\instantclient_11_2*
iii) *Edited the PATH variable with ;C:\Oracle\instantclient_11_2*
4. Created the tnsnames.ora file in C:\Oracle\instantclient_11_2. Its content are as follows.
clarity_dev =
     (DESCRIPTION =
     (ADDRESS_LIST =
     (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = claritydev.vip.its.ebay.com )(PORT = 1521))
     (CONNECT_DATA =
     (SID = clarity)
5. From the folder %windir%\sysWOW64\odbacd32.exe, Opens ODBC Data Source Adminsitartor. In that I found my Oracle in instantclient_11_2 and added following details.
Data Source Name : claritydev.vip.its.com
TNS Service Name : clarity_dev
User Id: clarity1
When I test connect it, I get error *ORA-12154:*
*     TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified*
Could you please help, I've seen FAQs for this error, but couldn't find anything which solves. Is there any steps I'm missing? I've checked in DB properties. It uses SID not the Service Name.
Thanks in Advance

Oh, zip files. Right. I usually use the installer.
Try creating it yourself then and see if that does it. I don't normally use these zip files so I'm not sure if it goes somewhere else with them.

Cannot start the setup of Oracle Client 8.1.6 on Pentium 4 Windows 2000 Professional

I need to install the Oracle Client 8.1.6 on a Compaq Evo D500 Workstation running Pentium 4 1.5GHz with 20G hard disk 128MB ram with OS Windows 2000 Professional. The autorun screen popup but no response when I press the Install/Uninstall products. The machine had installed the Oracle Developer/2000 runtime and running healthy. Does anyone know the fix for this problem?

I have the same problem with 8.1.7 on an ACER Veriton 7200 1.7 GHz , 20GB + 120 GB HD 768 MB Memory.
It happens under NT 4.0 Server SP6 and 2000 Server SP2.
The changing of Graphics Card from AGP to PCI does not solving the problem.
Different graphics resolution and colors also.

Connect to Oracle without Oracle Client in Windows?

Hi All,
Is there anyway to connect to Oracle DB without any installation of Oracle Product in Client?
I am using MS ODBC Driver Oracle but It need the "Data Source Name"
It seems that client machine do need to Setup the NET 8 Configure / Tnsname.ora
I can try to set any thing in Oracle Server, But want to minimize the effort doing on the client (Because there are many!).
I am using Visual Basic, WIN XP as client Platform. WIN 2K as Oracle DB Server.
Can anybody give me a hand. Thank you very much!
Eric Yuen

You'll need to install Oracle Client in the client machine. ODBC (or other) connections need OCI and Oracle Net layers.
The Oracle ODBC has a lot of dependencies, probably a thousand files. Unfortunately Client is pretty heavy... managewize also. So that's why you should develop "internet apps". :)
