Oracle Client Merge Module

Somebody knows if exists a merge module for Oracle 8i?.
We are deploying an application which uses Oracle 8.1.6 Client with OCI calls between Oracle and Delphi.
We built an installation kit, and we want to install Oracle Client in same setup via merge modules.
Is it posible?
I appreciate some help
Best Regards

Sorry I wasn't sure.... But let me try to give you another idea.
So if you want to protect your schema I suggest to use roles.
I mean collect all schema privileges into two roles.
Set default role for your schema user an almost empty role. (create session)
Plus create a full featured role which is password protected.
So you can implement in your application that when it connects it "SET ROLE" to the full featured one with password of course...
This way only your application can use/see objects in schema...

Is there any re-distributable Oracle client

Hi,
I am development of project that need ODP.NET and Oracle client 9i to be installed with product installation on client machine.I am using Developer install shield 8.0 on windows installer for product installation.
Is there any oracle client redistributable available using windows installer 2.0 merge modules or msi product?
One way is to call setup.exe of oracle client from product intallation.I am looking for alternate solution.
Thanks,
Jevelson

I have been looking for something like this for a while, the alternate approach has been to create a response file and call the setup.exe using -silent and -response options

Hello Wang,

Have you also restored / re-installed the oracle client libs on your windows system? It seems like the oracle client libs are missing.

Client Merge! precautions to be taken from BW point of view

Hi,
We are in a process of merging two clients in R/3 which are typical source systems for BW!
What are the steps that we should take care of while the client merge is on from R/3 side.
these two clients are ofcourse very important for BW system as almost all for everydata load the extraction logic in FM to the ABAP routine in selection of infopacakge is different!
in a scenario such as this, what are the things that should i make a note from BW point of view?
Raj

Hi,
1.Internal table with header line will not support in ECC 6.0 for that u need to create internal table and work area using TYPES.
2.Mostly u need to do some PATCH WORK for the STANDARD programmes.
Patch work in the sense for SPAU objects in Mysap is there any code written by client(INSERT {....END INSERT....}) this type of code u need to add in ECC 6.0 code....
3.Mostly u have to resolve EPC(Extended program check) errors.
In that u will find so many type of errors...Field attribute errors,Perform interface errors,Obsolete stetement errors,....etc.
4.First thing u need to what r the SCOPE and OUT OF SCOPE in your upgradation.
5.If u find any Fmodules obsolete...U just press F1 on that Fmodule it will show which function module can useful instead of that obsolete one...
6.If they want UNI CODE compatiable .....
EX Report...
Go to the attributes of the report...
There u can c a check box to check UNI CODE Errors...
U have to resolve these errors also...
After doing all these things u have to show 0 errors on CODE INSPECTOR fro each n every object...
Thats t as per my knowledge...

What are the softwares that I need to learn Oracle Apps- Financial module?

Hi All,
I'm a PL/SQL developer and supposed to learn Oracle Apps - Financial Module from Technical perspective as a part of my new job requirement. So, could you please help me figure out the softwares required to start learning Oracle Apps. ?
I think, I need servers and clients of E-Business Suite & RDBMS (10 g or 11g). I'm afraid whether 200GB of free disk- space & 3 GB RAM on my Desktop may not be sufficient if I install both servers & Clients.
So, please suggest the essential components of E-business Suite and RDBMS I should get to start learning Financial Module considering the above limitation.
All suggestions are welcomed!

Oledb and path length - Oracle client and networking components ...

Hello,
I've been suddenly getting the
"Oracle client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3.3 or later client software installation."
error when trying to connect to an oracle 9.2 database using the msdaora oledb provider.
"..ora92/bin" is in my PATH environoment variable and the hints about setting read and execute permissions on the ..ora92/bin direction didn't work for me. However, what did do the trick, was reducing the length the PATH environement variable to under 182 characters.
Anybody else seen this that can explain what's gonig on here?
Erik

Hello Kamal,
Thanks for your reply
My system looks like this:
OS: MS Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2
msdaora version: 2.81.1117.0
This problem has only recently surfaced, but has now appeared on at least two other systems as well as my own. Any system changes must have happened on all three systems. I have "automatic updates" setup on my computer and they maybe setup on the other computers - could the be responsible for breaking oledb?
Other things I have tried:
The Oracle Oledb provider is also not working. It gives me the error:
"OraOLEDBpus.dll: the specified module could not be found"
When I reduce the size of the PATH variable it works too.
I am always able to run executables from the ../ora92/bin directory. So the path is only being wrongly interpreted by the Oledb providers.

Oracle 9i and Oracle Client 7x

We upgraded our database software from 7.3.4 to 9i. The application we are using is the Viking Development System and is still a 16-bit application.
I was able to get certain parts of the program to work on a variety of workstations (95, 98 and 2000), but on each workstation there are pieces that do not work.
Here is some of the errors...
When I try to post the donation transactions, I get the following error messages. A general Protection fault occurred in module sql16w95.dll at 0001:139F
I have renamed the file to sql16w95.dll to sql16w95.old as suggected in bug 2171024.
Now the following message appears...
Unable to load VIP DIctionary Status=3113
There is also a problem with the lookup screen. The actual database information is OK. But it shows some pledge balances are incorrect. They show the balance as being 14.717 instead of 177.17 for example.
I need a solution to these problems.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mark
We are running a 16bit application (Viking Development System) using an Oracle 7 client on a 9i database.

If you want to make sure the application connecting through oracle client
set the pah variable
Enter
C:>path
Oracle bin directories will be displayed along with other variables.see which oracle version comes first.
If it is 10g then the Oracle will use 10g client to establish conneciton but if 9i installation is displayed first then it is going to use 9i client
To change 10g as default client
you can set it 2 ways
Right click my computer>properties?advance tab--click environement variables
select PATh variable..

Crystal report merge module

Hi Members,
We have an application developed in Visual Basic6, MSAccess(Datastorage) and Crystal Reports11 (for reporting), and working fine since years.
Now, we have developed the same application using Labview 7.1.
We are using Crystal Reports Ver.11 for report generation, and working fine. (Had to do this because we have invested a lot of $ for Crystal Reports.)
Now we want to distribute the software to our customers by giving them the setup. We are sucessfully able to generate the setup of Labview application and working fine on the customer PC, but it gives problems when generting reports on the customer's PC. We studied the documentation of Crystal reports, and found that they have Merge modules that needs to be included in the Setup. We have done it sucessfully in VB6, using MS-Installer, because they support including .MSM files directly.
We would like to know, how we can include those .MSM files of crystal reports in Labview Application builder,
or
how to include these .MSM files into our setup cd that is to be given to our customer.
Thanking you,
with best regards from,
Kiran V Sutar

P.S. : I have also posted this question on other forum at : http://forums.lavag.org/Crystal-Report-t13349.html
I hope this does not offend anybody, Since I am desparate to get a solution to this.

Sorry for the late reply. Just got back from work. I asked the previous developer. They told me they're using .NET to call the Crystal Report 2013 in VF. Yes we use the SAP Crystal Reports Developer Version for Visual Studio.NET. When i check they reference this C:\Program Files\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\dotnet\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll. Back from my previous concern.
My concern is when i'm going to deploy my application to my client.Will it work if i'm going to add the merge module file to my package from this link SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads? Because it say its for Visual Studio and Framework 4.0.
Do i really need to change my target framework to 4.0 in VS2010 and add the framework 4.0 dependency in my package?
Thank you for your reply......

Crystal Reports XI - Where to find the Merge Module and the Install Shield?

Hi,
I'm using CR XI with Delphi 2006 and I'm having problems with the client side instalation of the program.They say I have to install the Merge Modules through an Install Shield programs.
Where to find this and how to use?
Thanks!

Hi,
Install shield is a part of MS Windows not with the BusinessObjects so I was not able to find any BO document on it.
I have searched over the internet and found some useful links about Install Shield for Windows:
http://gormanonline.com/blogs/msidle/archive/2008/05/02/basic-introduction-to-installshield-and-windows-installer.aspx
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InstallShield
Microsoft Windows includes registry-activated logging services to help diagnose Windows Installer issues. This article describes how to enable this logging service.
Open the registry with Regedt32.exe and create the following path and keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
Reg_SZ: Logging
Value: voicewarmup
You can use this example:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftwindowsInstaller]
u201CLoggingu201D=u201Dvoicewarmupu201D
The letters in the value field can be in any order. Each letter turns on a different logging mode. Each letteru2019s actual function is as follows for MSI version 1.1:
v Verbose output
o Out-of-disk-space messages
i Status messages
c Initial UI parameters
e All error messages
w Non-fatal warnings
a Start up of actionsr Action-specific records
m Out-of-memory or fatal exit information
u User requests
p Terminal properties
+ Append to existing file
! Flush each line to the log
u201Cu201D - Wildcard, log all information except for the v option. To include the v option, specify u201C/lvu201C.
Once activated, the log files that are generated may be found in your %TEMP% directory.
Hope this will give you a clarification about Installation Shield for Windows.

Problem with the clientinstallation runtime and merge module

I'm using CR XI SP4 and as a data source I use a XML file that was defined
with a XSD.
From my application I generate a XML file and start CR through a Delphi
component.
As a parameter I supply a RPT file without data.
That's all working.
Now I want to start my application on a client. Therefore I have created a
MSI file from the 4 Merge files of SP4 and run the installation on the
client.
Used merging modules of SP4 :
1.      CrystalReports11_5_RDC_Designtime.msm
2.      CrystalReports11_5_RDC_License.msm
3.      CrystalReports11_5_RDC_Reportengine.msm
4.      CrystalReports11_5_RDC_Runtime.msm
Then the program crashes with a Windows error.
If I save the Data in the report it works. The data ist not up to date then.
If I install a complete CR XI it works, even when there is no data in the
report.
The data ist diplayed correctly.
What am I doing wrong?
What do I have to install on the client to make it work?
Thanks in advance for your quick help.

Merge Modules X Service Packs

Post Author: marciocallejon
CA Forum: Deployment
Hi,
I've been developing applications using Crystal Reports Developer 9.0 with .Net 2005 for a long time.
At the development machine, I installed the service pack 7.0 and it works fine, but, when I try to deploy the application, using the lastest merge modules, the application crashes.
Comparing the files between the development machine and the client machine, I checked that the files of the merge modules are out of date. If I copy the files manually the aplication starts to work fine too.
Now I ask, how to find the lastest merge modules syncronized with the lastest service packs ?
Thanks, Marcio

Hello Saurabh!
Thanks for the information!
That helps a lot, but I still have a doubt:
I'd like to know if I can deploy an application which was created on CR XI R2(no service packs or Service pack < than the client) on a client computer which has CR R2 SP6 runtime installed.

Merge modules for Business Objects XI service pack 4

I am in the process of developing a deployment package in Installshield 2009 - Basic MSI Project. I tried adding the merge modules I downloaded earlier from the web page, http://support.businessobjects.com/downloads/runtime.asp
Currently I do not see this web page. It would be nice if you could tell me whether do we have a merge module for Crystal Reports XI service pack 4. If we have where from i can download them. Thank you

Thanks a lot for the immediate response. However, I am not using the crystal reports Version, R2 release.
I had actually installed Business Object XI and applied service pack 4 on it. I checked the version in Help->About. It is 11.0.0.
Also my environment is XP Sp2, Visual studio 2003 and Visual studio 6.0. I understand that R2 release is needed if the environment is Visual Studio 2005.
I would like to give a clear picture of the issue I work through.
After deploying the software in the client machine, I came to know that when client tried to print the embedded crystal report (.dsr file) from CrViewer,
1. Page set-up dialog bog gets displayed.
2. After clicking 'OK' button in the page set-up dialog box, nothing happens. It is suppose to bring print dialog.
I simulated this in my development machine (confirmed that Print dialog is is not getting displayed when 'OK' button is clicked from 'Page setup' dialog)
I researched and found out from some web page that if Business Objects XI is updated to Service pack 4, this issue gets resolved
So i applied service pack 4 in my dev. machine and tested the functionality by clicking 'OK' button. This issue is no more.
Next logical step is to propagate the sp4 changes to the installer. I searched for the merge modules corresponding to Business Objects XI - service pack 4. I could not locate it now.
I searched my backup folder, I located some previously downloaded merge modules downloaded from the web page, http://support.businessobjects.com/downloads/runtime.asp
I tried to include these merge modules and received an error message "Internal build error" . My research revealed that inclusion of the merge module, CrystalReports11_RDC_Reportengine.msm (43,306 Kb, 7/4/2007) throws "Internal build error" during compilation of MSI project in Installshield 2009.
Any idea, tips and help to resolve the issue would be appreciated. Thank you.

Merge module and additional directories

I am trying to install crystal runtime on a client machine.
I am using the CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm merge module.
I have opened the module using orca and set InstallViewerVirtualDir to 0 in the property table and the moduleconfiguration table. ( and of course set my key )
I put the merge module into my installation package and ran the install.
I am getting a bunch of subdirectories I do not need. ( I am not running the reports from the html viewer )
The subdir's are css, html, images, js, and prompting.
I downloaded the latest stuff as far as i can tell ( crxir2_fp44_net_mm.zip )
How can I turn off the installation of these files.

I don't know if you really understand yet.
Nothing in my application nothing at all uses the html css, etc.. files.
The report server does not.
My application does not.
If i was calling the report server to display my reports, i could understand. Or if I was viewing the reports in my application in the html viewer. But I am not.
The report server ( it is a web service - my web service nothing to do with your report servers) only opens the rpt file and gets information from them to give to my windows form app ( it never displays a single report ).
My windows app does view the report. But it does so in the activex control. Not in the web control. It does not need the cab files from the server, everything is installed during setup.
I don't care if you install every dll you guys make on my clients computer.
Dll's are understandable, and can't be messed with and clients understand. What I don't like is have 5 or so folders under my windows forms application that contains css, html and image files.
These are just messy and un-needed. Plus more update headaches.
I guess this is really not a big issue.
I just don't understand why a windows forms app has to include all the html files that a web application would need.
Oh well the install does work, and I am not going to go through all the mess that I have had in the past trying to figure out which dlls need to be copied and registered like I have had to do for years. So I guess it is better than it used to be, even if my computer is cluttered with useless files.
I hope I don't sound mad, because I am not. I have used CR for 10+ years now, and I like the product. I just would like to see some improvements on the msm.
Thanks for your response.
I really do appreciate it.
