Oracle Public YUM errata for a particular release version

Hello,
The "el5_latest" repository seems to contain several updated packages for various Oracle Linux releases, but it is apparently not possible to use Oracle Public Yum to restrict updates to a specific release version. Is this correct? Is this available with a ULN subscription, or if there is another way how to apply errata for a specific Oracle Linux release version?
For instance:
# yum install rpm*.el5_7.2
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
This system is not registered with ULN.
ULN support will be disabled.

If you have a ULN subscription, you can limit your channels to the specific update release base and patch channels. The public-yum.oracle.com site now just contains the base channels, i.e. the same package set as each ISO, along with the latest channel, which will update an OL5 machine to the latest packages.

Installation of Oracle Client 32 bit on Windows 64 bit

Hi ,
I'm trying to install the 32 bit Oracle client (release 11.2.0) on a Windows server with 64 bit (Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, Service Pack 1).
It's my understanding that this is supported and should work. However, the 64 bit Oracle client (release 11.2.0) is already installed on the server.
We need the 32 bit client since an older application requires this.
The GUI for the install of the client starts fine - but when the step "Finish installation" the GUI suddenly disappeares. The logfile of the installation ends
with
INFO: Setting the value for INSTALL_TYPE variable
INFO: Variable "INSTALL_TYPE" wird auf "InstantClient" festgelegt. Der Wert wurde von der Befehlszeile empfangen.
INFO: adding the variable oracle_install_NoMigration to command line args table
INFO: adding the variable oracle_install_RACInstall to command line args table
INFO: adding the variable oracle_install_WindowsSystemDirectory to command line args table

INFO: Creating & Initializing the Session Interface Manager
INFO: Calling OiicInstallAPISession's prepareForInstallOperations
INFO: Do the iterator execution till Summary
INFO: Initialisieren des Installationsbestands
INFO: Einrichten des Installationsbestands
I'm executing the installation as a local admin - I've tried the installation with setting the compatibility mode to Windows 2000. No success at all :-(
Did I get it wrong that ths 32 bit client is certified with this windows version? Does anybody have experience with the same situation?
Any help will be appreciated!

Is it possible to have Oracle client 7 and 9 at the same time?

I have Windows XP and I need to have both clients at the same time in the same machine.
Is it possible to have multiple oracle homes, one for each client version?
thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick replay...I supposed that answers but I have seen some info where it said that Oracle Client releases previous to 8.0.4 supports only single home.
The case is my customer has already installed and Oracle Client 7 to access some old database, now we need to install on the same computer a Oracle Client 9.2, you mean there is no problem with this ?
Thanks in advance....

Oracle Client 11G R2

Application Name: Oracle Client
Application Version: 11G R2
Company Name: Oracle
Sequencer Version: 4.6
App-V Client Version Tested On: 4.6
Operating System Sequenced On: Server 2003 R2 SP2
Pre-requisites: None
Client Operating Systems Successfully Deployed To: Server 2003 R2 SP2 (x86), Server 2008 (x86), Server 2008 R2.
Posted by non-Microsoft Employee: Kevin Kaminski, Big Hat Group Inc.
Steps to Sequence the Application:
Before sequencing you may want a dummy user and system ODBC DNS in place so that the sequence can see other DSNs at the machine level.
Launch setup.exe.
Make sure InstantClient is selected and click Next.
Change the installation folder to Q:\Oracle11.001.
Ignore PATH error.
Select Finish.
Click Close.
Most environments provide a TNSNAMES.ORA and SQLNET.ORA files that are customized for the customers environment. It is a good idea to keep these files outside of the sequence to make them easier to update especially if you are going to use multiple sequences with the Oracle client. Make a folder off of the root of C:\ and put the files in there and set the environment variable based on the example below.
TNS_ADMIN=c:\OracleTNS
Create necessary ODBC DSNs.
Known Issues/Limitations: Oracle is working on a client to be supported on Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2. A release is expected in July 2010.
Approximate Sequencing Time: 30 minutes
Other (Optional fields)
App-V friendly copy protection scheme? N/A
Additional Notes/Links: N/A
Custom scripts to assist in the process: Can use pre launch script to update TNSNAMES.ORA and SQLNET.ORA if it is inside of the sequence.

Nslookup fails were as tnsping works - Oracle Client on Linux 4.0

Hello Gurus,
I am able to connect to Oracle DB on the Linux server and not from Oracle client on Linux box. I have installed Oracle Client windows version on my laptop and same release and version for Linux on Linux box.
When I try to connect to the DB from Oracle Client installed on Linux box give me ORA-012545:Connect failed because target host or object does not exists.
I have tried tnsping and the server name (hostname) ,IP and DB of the server it works.
When I tried nslookup servername (hostname) , IP and DB it fails.
Anyone over there please help me out. This is something silly happening works on Windows Oracle client and not on Linux Oracle Client. One thing to do add Linux Oracle Client has Virtual IP to it. ITs host file has an entry for local host as follows : 127.0.0.1 localhost.local.domain localhost.
Also when I tried to create netservice names using netca it's just clean.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance

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.

Win64_11gR2_client still throws 'requires oracle client 8.1.7 or greater'

Hey All,
I just installed the new win64 11g R2 Client on my windows 2008 server machine, with the ASP.NET client, however i'm still getting the error:
System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater
Now I went to the ODBC Manager (64 bit, not the 32 bit) and tested my connections, so i know the client is connecting.
Is there something special i need to use to make this work?
Regards,
Dan Regalia

Is Visual Studio, or your web/asp.net app, 32 or 64-bit? If the app is 32-bit, it needs ("looks for") the 32-bit Oracle client libraries. Maybe that is the case here?
You could use Process Monitor for troubleshooting the issue:

In addition, consider using the Oracle provider instead.

Hi,
Often the error "The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client" is raised when the unmanaged dll OraOpsX.dll can't be found, can't be loaded, or is the wrong version. For version 10.2.0.x of ODP.NET and .NET Framework 2.x the file should be called "OraOps10w.dll" and should be found in the %ORACLE_HOME%\bin directory.
Since the ODAC pieces are installed on the same host as the database, are they in a separate Oracle Home or the same Oracle Home as the database software? If there are multiple Oracle Home directories, which one is in the system path first?
I would start with verifying the version of OraOps10w.dll and the system path on the server. You might also confirm that the Oracle Home directory (and everything under it) has the following permissions for Authenticated Users:
- Read & Execute
- List folder contents
- Read
Regards,
Mark

'The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client' exceptio

Hi
I installed ODAC-11.1.0.7.10 Beta on my development system and developed a .net application which uses Oracle.DataAccess.dll to connect to Oracle10g database.
the application is working fine, means opening connection successfully when I run it from my development system. but the same application is throwing
'The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client' exception when I run it on my 10g database server system.
what I need to do to run the application successfully on the machine where 10g server exists?
any help is appreciated.
thanks,
harry

Hi Harry,
I am not sure why you installed 11.1.0.7.10 Beta as 11.1.0.7.20 has been released and you should not be using the beta at this time. That error message is because the dependencies being loaded by the process are the wrong version. When you deploy an ODP .NET application using 11.1.7.x, you need to make sure you deploy it to a machine where the 11.1.0.7.x dependencies are installed. My guess is if I read your poat correctly is that Oracle.DataAccess.dll version 11.1 is loaded but its finding 10.2 dependencies on the target deployment box.

How do we determine the version of the Oracle CLIENT software??

I am sure someone in a large organization has had to deal with this...
We have hundreds of machines in our environment and over the years have loaded the Oracle client software on many... So now I am looking at implementing the July set of Oracle Security patches and there are patches for the Client machines in this release...
Looking at our list, we have machines with oracle 8, 9 and 10 (and almost every subversion known to Oracle) Clients out there... and of course each of these versions and sub-version use a different patch for windows...
so the question is, is there a quick way of identify exactly what version of the software is loaded... preferably programmatically... Running SQL*Plus on each machine manually is probably not an option.
We already have software that can scan each machine identify if a specific program is loaded and it's size and maybe pull the contents... (I know there is a $ORACLE_HOME/inventory/ContentsXML/comps.xml file in 10g that might tell us what we need to know, but I don't know if it goes back to 8/8i or not...)
This would also help me plan a migration plan for some of these older clients also...
Thanks.
Michael

This is a little late, but may be it will help someone else in the future.
There may be an easier way, but this is what works for me.
Log into ADI. Go to the Request Center. Click the ‘tool’ icon.
It looks like a hammer and screwdriver.
On the next screen, look in the bottom left corner.
It will show the version of ADI.
HTH,

Oracle 10g release 2 client

Can someone please help answer these questions for me. I am trying to make a case for me to use the Oracle 10g client for a new .NET system, that is going against an Oracle 9i database server. I would like to take advantage of the new speed improvements, latest bug fixes, and the ref_cursor in/out support for batching operations. I am having to prove myself here, and I am having difficulty finding documentation to help me.
1. I see in the documentation that the Oracle 10g release 2 client now supports ref_cursor in/out as apposed to just OUT from previous releases. Does this mean that I can now pass record set from .NET application into a PL/SQL stored procedure? Was this a limitation of the client or the ODP.NET? Is there a sample I can see? What is puzzling me here is that the ODP.NET version is not release 10.2 also.
2. I know that the Oracle 10g clients are backwards compatible to Oracle 9i database connectivity. Is this documented somewhere that I can refer to?
3. I know that the Oracle 10g and Oracle 9i clients can both be installed on the same system without interfering with each other. Is this documented somewhere that I can refer to?
Any other issue I am forgetting about? Thanks.

ODP.NET 10.2 is now available to download on OTN.
Output REF Cursors can be passed back into another stored procedure as an input REF Cusor. This feature works with just 10gR2 DB servers.
Output REF Cursors can be read, but you can only pass back as an input REF Cursor only the portion of the REF Cusor that has not yet been read.
Chapter 2 of the ODP.NET indicates the version of the DB server is necessary. If you are using 10.2, the oldest DB server you can use is 8i.
The ODP.NET doc also indicates that ODP.NET is multiple Oracle Home compliant.

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.
