Oracle Client installs with validated rpms

Hello,
I'm new to the Oracle on Linux world (OL6), so hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
I'm needing to set up some Oracle clients (11.2) on middle tier/application servers
Looking around for a simple/repeatable way of meeting the pre-install requirements and was considering using the "validated" rpms.
The oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall rpm i believe is really for a database server setup, so it's doing some group/kernel parameter/package setup that i suspect isn't really required for a client only setup.
Do people use those validated rpms for client only installs?
Might there be a "Oracle Validated Client preinstall" rpm out there?
Should I just script the package installs and user/group creation?
Looking for some real world suggestions on how to make the client requirements/install process quick and easy!
Thanks
Steve

10.2.0.1 is not supported/certified on Win 2008, so expect issues with the install and/or with using the software.
Why cannot you use a supported version - minimum is 10.2.0.4, which is only available to customers with an Extended Support contract

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)

Edit;
some corrections, specially about 9.2 version

Oracle Client Installation 11.2.0.2 with OCI libraries

Hi All,
I need to install Oracle Client 11.2.0.2 with OCI libraries. How to install the OCI libraries, where can I find the install files for OCI.
Thank you

Hi;
Please see:

Where do I find the Oracle Client installation for HPUX

I thought I could install the Oracle Client on my HPUX Itanium server from these zipfiles:
hpia64_11gR2_database_1of2.zip
hpia64_11gR2_database_2of2.zip
But, after unzipping them, I'm not locating "clientadmin.rsp" which I was expecting to find in the binary distribution.
The only .rsp files I'm finding are these:
./database/response/dbca.rsp
./database/response/netca.rsp
./database/response/db_install.rsp
Is the install media for Oracle Client going to found somewhere else? I'm having quite some difficulty locating it.
Locating the "Instant Client" was easy, but that's not what we're trying to accomplish here. We want to run the "Administrator installation of Oracle Client".
Any help is, of course, greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
...Chuck...

It seems that my concern is that I haven't got the correct binary (zip) files yet. After extracting BOTH files I'm left with the following, top-level structure:
$ pwd
/home/szpqw7/11gR2Client/database
$ ll
total 80
drwxr-xr-x 12 root sys 8192 Dec 16 09:41 doc
drwxr-xr-x 4 root sys 8192 Dec 16 09:41 install

drwxr-xr-x 14 root sys 8192 Dec 16 09:41 stage
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 5386 Dec 16 09:41 welcome.html
$
As you can see, there is no "client" directory there. What binary should I be looking for that would contain the folder you are suggesting??

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"}

# 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).

Oracle Client Installation. ODBC "not configurable".

Hi people.
I need your help to solve a problem in a installation of Oracle XE Client.
I install Oracle XE Client in a Windows XP.
In Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> ODBC
Later in the flap: Controlers
I don't see the "Oracle in XE" controler.
OK. I look in the directory and exists the sqora32.dll, etc. etc.
Do you know how resolve this?
Oks. That's my problem. Now I tell you what I do trying to solve it.
I find in other forums that I can utilize, the normal 10g client or use Instant Client.
Important question: If I take one of this solutions. Have a cost associated?
How much is the cost for instant client?
How much is the cost for normal 10g client?
The interesting of XE in this phase of my project is that is completly FREE !!!
It give me the opportunity of migrate in a later time to a more sofisticated version of Oracle but at this moment I dont complete my product. ;-)
I will try with this solution but I have intrigue and desire of drive the XE software not patch it.
The documentation is recurrent to a document that doesnt explain nothing about my problem.
I tried to register the dll with the following command:
regsvr32 C:\XEClient\bin\sqora32.dll
And obtained the following message (followed by other):
Error Cannot Load Resource File sqresus.dll
Do you know how resolve this?
Best regards
Roberto

Hello Stevens,
Thanks for the reply. I have installed 11g r2 64 bit client and I have tried this way too C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
Like I said, the (sysWOW64) is for the 32-bit. You now assert you installed 64-bit, so that is not applicable
but there were no drivers found. I didnot find any odbc folder in oracle client home. Could you please suggest what needs to be done next.
Now we know you installed 11.2 client. Like I said, the ODBC drivers are NOT installed by default on that version.
And so you need to do as I said in my last post:
do a default installation, then go back and do a 'custom' installation, specifying the same ORACLE_HOME as before, and selecting the ODBC components.

Where to download Oracle client installation .exe file

Hi,
I need to install an Oracle client on a Windows Server 2008 (32-bit), how do I do that?
I want to install Oracle client version 10.2.0.4 (Instant Client Package - Basic: All files required to run OCI, OCCI, and JDBC-OCI applications).
I can't find a .exe installation file, does anyone one know if there is a .exe file available and if so where can I download it? I have just found .jar installation files.

Guys,
Sorry for hijacking this thread – what would you recommend to run ODP.NET on 2008 R2?

ORACLE 8i INSTALLER WITH P4 ISSUES AND TNS ERROR WITH 9i

I want to thank those that have been of help on this subject matter. Finally after 2 agonised weeks, I was able to get around the Oracle 8i installer not able to run on my Pentium 4 laptop. Also having problem logging in to 9i SQL*PLUS. I just want to reinstate that by renaming the file symcjit.dll to symcjit.old does not work automatically. I tried it on Oracle 8.1.6 and 8.1.7(Enterprise/Standard/Personal) many times. Although it did work with Oracle Personal 8.1.6 at one point in time after the system has already 9i installed. After uninstalling the 9i, the installer stopped working again. I WAS NOT SURE IF ORACLE HAS THIS ORACLE 9i DATABASE ENTERPRISE/STANDARD/PERSONAL FOR WINDOWS NT/2000/XP ON CD. THE ONE I BOUGHT IS THE 9IAS AND 9IDS (2 Boxes) WHICH WILL NOT CONFIGURE YOUR DATABASE FOR YOU.
When I was about to give up after doing some more research, then I saw the download for "Oracle9i Database Enterprise/Standard/Personal Edition for Windows NT/2000/XP". I followed the exact direction, but did everything in my directory and not DOS since I don't know the command for unzipping files in DOS. By unzipping all the files in their respective folders Disk1/Disk2/Disk3, and going to install/win32/setup.exe, the rest of the installation went smoothly, when the system prompt for the location of the next disk, just type 2 and then 3. The installation configured everything like tnsnmaes, instances, databases e.t.c. All I did was suppied the password for Sys and System.
By downloading this particular file, I was able to bypass any configuration which is a pain, but not for you DBA guys out there. THE DOCUMENTATION FOR THESE CD,s DID NOT GIVE EXACT STEP BY STEP FOR CONFIGURATION, ONLY INSTALLATION. I AM A DEVELOPER AND NOT A DBA. Orale 8i is more easy to confugure than 9i. I WAS ALSO ABLE TO INSTALL 6i, 9ids AND SQL NAVIGATOR ON TOP OF THIS 9i, AND ALL CONNECTIONS WORKED PERFECTLY BY USING SYS OR SYSTEM AND THE PASSWORD I SUPPLIED DURING INSTALLATION.
AGAIN THANKS TO EVERYBODY USING THIS FORUM. YOU GUYS ARE GREAT AND DOING A GOOD JOB HELPING OUT OTHERS. LET'S KEEP IT ROLLING!!!

O yea, I used WinZip 8.1 and it created correct directory stucture - that's the whole problem

How does Oracle client communicate with a database server

Looking to idenify how Oracle Database Client for OpenVMS communicates with database server and whether the protocol used is secure. Realize that it is using whatever the configured network protocol is (ie. tcpip) but is languauge it uses ( ie. SQL, etc..) secured/encrypted and if not what steps can be taken to encypt

I have installed oracle client 10g on client pc for getting connection to Oracle databse 10g (runng on windows server) usng ODBC through SAGE ACC PAC (ERP). Working fine earlier. Now all of a suddent user starts complaining about database connection. When checked his pc registry values. Two values of ODBC keys are reset to null. Those are DSN and DRIVER values. How come this values reset to null? What is causing this to reset?Nothing in this has anything to do with the sever. You need to check what the client did on his machine that caused registry to get modified?
How does oracle ODBC works with Oracle database? Need to know all the steps involved?The connectoin from any client is initiated by a client process. This client process is supposed to get a server process to do his work. So if this is done, the client can work now with oracle . Please see the concepts guide for the gory details of the entire process.

ORA-12154 in new oracle client installation (ASP applications)

Hello,
I've got a test server with an Oracle 10.2 client that has some web services running on it. They connect using the oracle client to a database in another server. Untill this morning they were working great but then I has some trouble and I had to reinstall the Oracle client again. Now I have installed once any Web Service tries to open a connection to my oracle database I get an ORA-12154.
I've tried to run (in my test server) a simple console application that opens a connection to the same database with the same connectionstring and queries a table and it works great, so I think that there might be some problem with asp.net applications or something like that....
Does somebody know how can I solve that??
Thanks in advance!

after you reinstall Oracle client, run netca to configure your tnsnames again. Or if you have copy of old tnsnames.ora file put under new client ORACLE_HOME/network/admin

How to catch the error code thrown by Oracle client installation?

Hi everyone,
Recently, I'm writing a bat file to install Oracle 11g client for windows, I know the command line should be below, but how to find the error code it return? like the command line I want to run in Windows, the errorlevel will return 0 if the command line is pass, otherwise it will return no-zero:
oui.exe -silent -waitforcompletion -nowait -force -responseFile ...\response\clientruntime.rsp
BTW, I know I can find the error info under the path ...\Oracle\Inventory\logs, but I think it is better if you can tell me another way to catch the error in command line. I just wish that I can determine whether the Oracle provider installation is pass......
Thanks
Lindsay

ORA-12154 Oracle Client Error with VirtualBox

This is rather lengthy and I am not sure this is the right forum for this question but it does involve the Oracle Client.
My development environment consists of a single workstation that is not connected to a network. The OS for the database is Linux CentOS (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 or 4). The database seems to run fine from the Linux OS - OEM and SQLPlus run as well as all the other utilities (lsnrctl, etc.).
The database front-end has to be Access 2003. This is requiring that I run Windows from VirtualBox so I can do the FE database development.
In addition to this when I try to create a system (or any other) DSN, I get the following behaviors.
- Start up the "Microsoft ODBC Administrator"
- Select the "System DSN" tab
- Click "Add..."
- Select driver: "Oracle in OraClieht11g_home1"
- Enter the following data in the following fields
Data Source Name: "orcl_hr"
TNS Service Name: "orcl"
- Click the "Test Connection" button
This initiates a wait of about 1 minute
- In the "Oracle ODBC Driver Connect" dialog, enter the following data in the fields
Service Name: "orcl"
User Name: "hr"
Password: <the hr password>
This initiates another wait of about 1 minute after which I get an error dialog with the following message:
Unable to connect
SQLState=08004
[oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
On the Windows side the ORACLE_SID is defined as "orcl"
On the Linux (db server) side, the following files have the listed contents:
Listener.ora
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = local.net)(PROT = 1521))
)sqlnet.ora
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)tnsnames.ora
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = local.net)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
)Another data point: I notice that the client software has a SqlPlus application. When I try to log on to the database through this app I get the error: ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error.
Is there a VirtualBox problem? Can it be fixed?
Edited by: DBelt on Jun 29, 2009 10:19 AM

The OracleClient install does not create either of the sqlnet.ora or tnsnames.ora files. These are created in the ORACLE_HOME/network/admin direcory of the host machine, however -- as well as the listener.ora file.
One question I have before we procede much further is what is the "Instant Client" anyway? As I said earlier, I am not even sure this is the proper forum for my question since it involves the OracleClient software -- I know what the OracleClient is but not the "Instant Client".
That said, I am able to telnet port 1521 from the host if I uset the literal IP address only (using <local.net> does not work). I am completely unable to ping the host at all from VirtualBox (I am operating in NAT mode and this seems to be a documented "feature" of VBox).
The "sqlplus user/pwd@(DESCRIPTION=...)" comment does not work. I have tried several iterations: 1) as provided above with the double-quotes resulting in a display of the proper syntax for invoking sqlplus, 2) without the quotes, and 3) replacing the double-quotes with parentheses. The outcome of experiments 2) and 3) is a syntax error occurring at "(" for the former or at user/pwd for the latter. (I am substituting proper values for the user, pwd, and local.net placeholders.)
I am starting to wonder if my problem may lie in trying to run the client from VirtualBox in NAT mode.
Another question has to do with the ODBC Administrator -- Where does it get its list of "TNS Service Names"?

Can I use regular Oracle Client version with Oracle XE Database?

Should it work? Should it be legal or not?

The regular Oracle client is only for those who have a "licensed" Oracle database server. For Oracle XE, it is NOT ok to use the full Oracle client. However, you can use the instant client against Oracle XE. Problem is that client utilities such as sqlldr won't be available in the instant client. Another option will be (if you are using linux) is to mount the Oracle XE installation directory to other machines as your client. Unfortunately the standalone XE client is not that useful given that it only includes sqlplus (which is why I recommend using instant client instead).
