Oracle Client Side connectivity issues from a Windows XP Machine

I am sure most of you guys may have addressed this issue of the time delay the client application takes to retrieve the data from the Oracle database. However, here's my problem.
We have installed a VB application running on Windows Xp along with an Oracle 8i client. Now when the application tries to connect to the database at times the data fetching speed is quick and at times its really slow... takes almost 15-20 minutes.. We're not sure if this is an application issue/oracle client configuration issue or a network issue..
We've wasted alot of time blaming the network/connectivity.. However, is there anything that we would need to check at the clients pc.. oracle config etc.etc.. ???
Please help..

Might want to try out a couple of things:
When it's running slow:
1. ping the server to see the response time of the server.
2. check the CPU usage on the server. There could be a resource crunch taking place due to other large and/or multiple transactions going on.
3. kill the VB connection and run the SQL from the command prompt and see how long it takes. Sometimes executing an SQL from the application may take longer, while from the command prompt, it's quicker. In this case, application tuning is required.
4. check to see the CPU and memory usage on the client PC itself. If there are multiple applications in use chewing up these resources, it can and will slow things down on the client PC itself.
Oracle client does not require configuration as such.

  • Connectivity issues from Oracle to Sybase

    Friends.
    I have connectivity issue from Oracle 9.2.0.1 to Sybase 12.5 ASE .I am connecting through the database link in oracle to access the tables.
    The error message i am getting :
    select count(*) from TEST_TABLE@IND_TEST;
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
    523 80
    ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from IND_TEST
    Please guide me how to solve this error message. is it version incompatible now?
    Thanks
    Rocky

    Hi,
    You are now making the connection to the Sybase database but there is a problem with the user and password used in the database link.
    Sybase is case sensitive for names so you need to surround the user/password in double quotes to make sure they are passed to Sybase in the correct case -
    create database link ind_test connect to "sybuser" identified by "sybpass" using 'tnsnames_ora_entry' ;
    where sybuser is the userid as created in Sybase with the password sybpass.
    If they were setup in Sybase in mixed case then it would be -
    create database link ind_test connect to "Sybuser" identified by "Sybpass" using 'tnsnames_ora_entry' ;
    Regards,
    Mike

  • I am trying to remote into a Windows Server 2003 from a Windows 7 machine and having issues

    I am trying to remote into a Windows Server 2003 from a Windows 7 machine.  It says "The terminal server has exceeded the maximum number of allowed connections".
    My first stop in trying to solve this problem was here:
    [URL="http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows/command-line-hack-for-terminal-server-has-exceeded-the-maximum-number-of-allowed-connections/"]howtogeek.com[/URL]
    And it says:
    [I]
    [INDENT]This problem happens because Windows only allows two remote terminal services connections when you are in administrative mode, and you’ve either got two people already on that server, or more likely, you’ve got a disconnected session that still thinks
    it is active.
    The problem with this error is that you have to actually get on the server console to fix the problem if the server isn’t in a domain. ([B]If you are in a domain, then just open Terminal Services Manager and log off or disconnect the sessions[/B])[/INDENT][/I]
    So it seems to suggest that all I have to do really is to run the  Terminal Services Manager but I cannot find it.
    This web site from mssqltips.com [URL="http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1981/remote-desktop-error-terminal-server-has-exceeded-the-maximum-number-of-allowed-connections/"](click here)[/URL] says all I need to do is first execute "mstsc /
    admin" from the command line.  But, when I do that, I get a message when I try to remote to the server, that says this: "To log on to this remote console session, you must have administrative permissions on this computer".
    So, what now?  What do you suggest?

    Hi Bobby,
    Yes, it is by design. By default, Windows Server only accepts two concurrent administrative sessions (Administrative Mode). It means that only two administrators can work on the server at
    the same time.
    If you would like more concurrent sessions, you need to purchase RDS CALs, install Terminal Services related server roles with proper configurations on the server.

  • Connectivity Issue - Server Network - Windows Servers

    Hello
    I'm  having connectivity issues, from my network, with the Servers Network  that's located behind the Ace 4710... I'm monitoring the servers and i  get Timeouts with a simple ICMP monitor... This problem is only with Windows Servers...
    I  never have problems regarding the access to the Admin context, but in  the context that i use to load balance the applications i have problems
    reaching directly the servers...
    For  example... I have two servers and i lose connectivity with one of them  for about 2-5 minutes and then i regain connectivity... If i undo the ft  group and redo the ft group i regain instant access to the server... As i said this problems only appear with Windows Servers...
    Thanks in advance...

  • How do I connect to Time Capsule from a Windows 8.1 machine which is on a Windows domain. I have been able to connect from a Windows 7 machine on a Windows domain to a Time Capsule. Airport utility is not displaying the Time Capsule Win8.1 machine

    How do I connect to Time Capsule from a Windows 8.1 machine which is on a Windows domain. I have been able to connect from a Windows 7 machine on a Windows domain to a Time Capsule. Airport utility is not displaying the Time Capsule Win8.1 machine.
    I have checked that the firmware has been updated to 7.6.4 . Similalrly the Win8.1 machine has been loaded with the update specified in another discussion.

    Firstly how are you connecting to the TC.. wireless or ethernet?
    Please open a command window and ping it.. ping by name and by IP address.
    If ping succeeds at least by IP it should work.
    In windows explorer type
    \\10.0.1.1 (or whatever the TC ip is.. that is the default).
    Having the airport utility for windows loaded can help the process. As it loads bonjour for windows.
    7.6.4 firmware on the TC is useless. It works better on 7.6.1
    If the ping does not succeed by either name or IP address yet you have internet through the TC, then your network is setup wrongly. You are have firewalls blocking local IP. Take down all the firewalls.

  • Webrtc connection issue from chrome to firefox

    In my webrtc video application when there is always a connection issue from chrome to firefox.
    If the user on Firefox joins first to the room and the 2nd user on chrome joins second then ther is no issue. It connects smoothly.

  • Connecting a hard-wired Windows Vista machine locks up my Airport Extreme N

    I just installed a new Airport Extreme 802.11n.
    I have 3 computers...
    1. Hard-wired Mac Pro
    2. Wifi connected Powerbook
    3. Windows Vista machine--works with Wifi, but I can't plug it in without locking up the modem
    I'm using DHCP with a comcast connection.
    Everything works great until I plug in the Windows Vista machine. This immediately locks up the router and prevents internet access on all hardwired machines (wifi still works). It disappears from the Airport Utility and needs to be unplugged and reset to reappear.
    Obviously this has something to do with the IP address assignment and DHCP.
    What settings need to be changed so that I can have both my Mac Pro and Windows Vista machine hard-wired?

    Hello LeeMI. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Just to make sure, your network configuration, with the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), should look something like the following:
    Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > /[WAN port] AEBS /[LAN port] > (Ethernet cable) > /[Ethernet port] Main computer ... is this correct?

  • Remote desktop connection issue with an RDP client while connecting to some of windows 2008 and 2003 operating system flavors and not receiving SDin value choice 26 from DomainMCSPDU

    Hi Team
    We have our RDP client and i came across with one issue "Expected data got 3" with this client.
    This issue is getting while connecting some of below operating system flavors.
    Microsoft Windows 2008 Enterprise edition
    Microsoft Windows 2008 Standard edition
    Microsoft Windows 2003 servers
    When we are trying to get RDP to those servers with our client, getting "Expected data got 3" error. One more main thing here is the specified error is not getting for all the servers of same operating system in above list.
    Able to get the RDP console for those servers using mstsc client.
    When i read the [MS-RDPBCGR] specification, i found the below points
    mcsSDin (variable): Variable-length PER-encoded MCS Domain PDU (DomainMCSPDU) which encapsulates an MCS Send Data Indication structure (SDin, choice 26 from DomainMCSPDU), as specified in [T125] section 11.33 (the ASN.1 structure definitions
    are given in [T125] section 7, parts 7 and 10). The userData field of the MCS Send Data Indication contains a Security Header and a Valid Client License Data (section 2.2.1.12.1) structure.
    In my code i am not getting SDin value as 26. Is it the problem with Remote desktop Licensing in RDP servers as specified in the specification like "The userData field of the MCS Send Data Indication contains a Security Header and a Valid
    Client License Data (section 2.2.1.12.1) structure."
    Could you please explain me is this issue is happening due to Licence configuration in RDP server and please provide support with server side configuration if any because our code works for other servers ?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Pavan G.

  • Java Stored Procedure / Server Side / Client Side / connection

    Hi,
    I would like to know if we can know at the runtime with a JDBC api if the stored procedure is running in client side or in server side ?
    THANKS

    You wrote
    "Java stored procedures -- by definition - are stored in the 8i rdbms. !!"
    From the Oracle8i Java Stored Procedures Developer's Guide
    Release 8.1.5
    A64686-01
    "If you create Java class files on the client side, you can use loadjava to upload them into the RDBMS. Alternatively, you can upload Java source files and let the Aurora JVM compile them. In most cases, it is best to compile and debug programs on the client side, then upload the class files for final testing within the RDBMS"
    This means that you can create shared classes that are used on both the client and server side. The source does not need to reside within the server (according to their documentation). Please also note the following from the Oracle8i JDBC Developer's Guide and Reference Release 8.1.5 A64685-01 for using the getConnection() method on the server:
    "If you connect to the database with the DriverManager.getConnection() method, then use the connect string jdbc:oracle:kprb:. For example:
    DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:kprb:");
    Note that you could include a user name and password in the string, but because you are connecting from the server, they would be ignored."
    So if you're coding a shared class that is to run on both the client and server side, you might do something like this:
    Connection conn =
    DriverManager.getConnection(
    System.getProperty("oracle.server.version") == null
    ? "jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:1521:ORCL"
    : "jdbc:oracle:kprb:"),
    "youruserid","yourpassword");
    As stated earlier, the userid and password are supposedly ignored for server connections retrieved in this manner. I haven't tried this yet, but it is documented by Oracle.
