Oracle database client 64bit issue with peopletools 8.52 Installation

Hi,
I have installed peopletools 8.52.I saw somewhere like oracle client 32 bit only will support and it will only work.Can someone help me why is it so or we can have 64 bit iitself.If its possible,What settings we need to do to have 64 bit database client.
Thanks in advance.

On Windows server, Apps and batch servers need a 32-bit Oracle client. Period. Nothing more to add. Or wait for PTools 8.53 which will be a real 64-bit application even for the client such as appDesigner and DMS.

Query Regarding Oracle Database Client

Hello,
I'm new to ORACLE and Intented to become Oracle Developer and DBA. I've question regarding Oracle Database Client software.
I know that there is Oracle Database server software but what is this Oracle Database Client. Is there any need to Install it on client machine as client mostly access the database use application software mainly develope in Java or C# etc. So, what is it need.
and one more question regarding SQL *Plus. Is it client process or server process as I learnent that it is client process and if it is. Is it can be part of Oracle Database Client. and can we seperately install the Oracle Database Client on machine on which DB server is aslo Installed.
Looking for reply.
Regards,
Danish Kamran

Certainly you are not mentioning the Oracle version, it is very important. Whenever you post a question reference the oracle version. There is a disk known as the oracle Client (10gR1, 10gR2 and 11gR1), this disk contains all required software to setup a client environment. If you are working with clients such as Java or C# you must have either the jdcb client driver (Jjava) or the ODBC software to access the database, this is included in the Oracle client disk.
Instant Client
There are other options for the client, you can install the instant client, this option allows you to install only the drivers without the Oracle utilities, this is particular useful if you are deploying third party applications and you don't want to install the complete client disk.
SQLPlus
SQL*Plus is a client application that runs on the client side, when you open a session it requests an Oracle server process to be executed on the server side. Once the session has been successfully setup then you can issue SQL commands from the client side. You should be aware that even if you launch SQL*Plus from the server side you will be working with two processes, one for the client and the second one for the oracle server. This connection mode is also known as dedicated server, but you should be aware that there is another connection mode known as shared server, I won't explain it since it already goes off topic.

How to install Oracle Database Client 32-bit libraries.

Dear All,
In the document : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/b31765.pdf
it is written "For 64-bit Linux system installations, you must use the Oracle Database Client 32-bit libraries"
how can i install just the libraries from OUI Database 11.2
Is it must to install these libraries first, whatif I install Oracle11.2 64bit client, and then install the OBIEE. Anyhow i need to install OracleDBClient to connect to Oracle server 11.2.

You can't "just install the libraries", you need a full ORacle client installation. The Oracle client can be installed after OBIEE but you must have an Oracle client to connect to an Oracle database via OCI (which is the recomended approach). 64bit client should be fine as long as it has the 32bits libraries. The 10g client does, not sure about the 11g client. Make sure you install the FULL Oracle client, not the Instant Client. The 32bits client libraries are located under lib32, the lib directory is for the 64bits ones. You might need ot re-link them if they were linked correctly during the client installation. But for more information post a message in the Oracle client forum, this is the OBIEE forum.

Oracle Database Client -- Oracle Database in SSL mode.

Experts,
I am trying to connect to a remote oracle database which in SSL mode. I installed "Oracle database client" on other server and trying to connect to remote database in SSL mode.
Can you please provide brief steps ?
Do I need configure any wallets on client side too ?. If yes, copying wallets from database server to client is enough ?
Please help me.
Thanks

Visual Studio 2010 64bit cann't connect Oracle database through 64bit ODBC Driver

Hi,
I am developing an 64bit And-In software. My OS is windows7 64bit Ultimate. Developer tool is
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate 64bit any-CUP.
Server is SUN server and Oracle database 10.2.0.5 64bit enterprise edition.
I have installed instantclient-odbc-win64-10.2.0.5 on my computer.
I am able to connect through the command line sqlplus user/pass@server.
In date source(c:\windows\system32\odbcad32.exe), ODBC Driver connection successful.
But in VS2010 C#, use Tools -> Connect Database,I get an error 193 (Oracle in
instantclient10_2,c:\ora10_64\SQORA32.dll) cann't be loaded.
SQORA32.dll is 32bit ODBC Driver or 64bit ODBC Driver?
How can I connect database with vs2010 64bit?
Regards

There is no Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate 64bit as far as I know. It's a 32 bit app. Generally you'd need to install a 32 bit client to use the 32 bit tools.
Hope it helps,
Greg

Oracle 10g R2 - Metadata Issue With Version Controlled Resources

We are trying to utilize the Oracle 10g R2 feature that allows user-defined metadata to be attached to XML DB resources. However, we are encountering errors when we try to append/attach metadata to a version-controlled resource (VCR). The following steps were followed:
1. Register a new schema to be used for metadata (XMLSCHEMA.registerSchema).
2. Add a new resource to to the XML DB and make it version controlled (DBMS_XDB.createResource and DBMS_XDB_VERSION.makeVersioned).
3. Checkout the newly created version-controlled resource (DBMS_XDB_VERSION.checkout)
4. Add metadata to the version-controlled resource (DBMS_XDB.appendResourceMetadata)
However, after step 4, the errors shown below are encountered:
========================================================
begin
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [qmxStrCopy: INLOB 2], [], [], [],
ORA-06512: at "XDB.DBMS_XDB", line 890
ORA-06512: at line 2
========================================================
The steps followed for adding metadata to a resource were taken from Chapter 26 of the "Oracle XML DB Developer's Guide 10G Release 2" (http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14259/xdb_repos_meta.htm#sthref2302).
Is is possible to append and maintain metadata to an XML DB version controlled resource (VCR)? If so, what are the correct steps to do this? Note that if this is tried with a resource that is not version controlled, then no errors are encountered.
Thanks,
Steve

It appears that this issue has been solved in the next release of the database

Installing an Oracle Database client on Application Server

Hi all
I have posted before but thought I'd clean up my original question and repost - apologies but I'm desperate for help here.
I have a problem using Oracle Wallet with Application Server and Developer Suite 10g Rel 2 Software Update 10.1.2.3.0 on Windows 2003. The problem arises because the database which ships with this version of Application Server is 10.1.0.5. This database version is not compatible with Oracle Wallet external passwords eg sqlplus /@MY_WALLET_NAME.
So...to get around this I'm looking at putting the 10.2 database client on which will allow me to use sqlplus with the wallet.
My questions is:
Does anyone have any advice for retaining existing Application Server functionality (we use Discoverer, Forms and Reports (RWCLIENT)) with a new Oracle 10.2 home on the server?
I will put on the client so would expect if I copy across the tnsnames & sqlnet ora, the connectivity is all backward compatible. SQL*Plus is obviously backward compatible. I'm not familiar with Application Server so am looking for guidance on any configurations I might need to change to make sure they pick up the right Oracle Home. For example, with the new Oracle Home at the start of the %PATH%, will RWCLIENT work as normal?
Thanks,
Tom

Oracle Database 11g Upgrade Issue

Hi All,
We recently upgraded from Oracle 10g to 11g, and since that we have noticed that we have an issue with a particular query.
The query selects the sum of a column based on the group by of two date columns. The query is returning rows when run in 10g based databases, but we are having to add trunc(date_column) in the 11g based databases to get the output.
Does anyone have a clue what could be happening?
Thanks
Anish.

The new DB Vesion is 11.2.0.2
OS - Solaris 10
It takes the same time in sqlplus also.
The DBA also mentions that he explain plan and the costs looks very different across both the versions.

Lync internal clients have issues with external meetings

We have a pretty easy Lync setup in our company, 2 FE servers in a Enterprise pool, one Edge server (in a pool. we will add edge servers later) and a Reverse proxy (Databases on a SQL server of course). Everything seems to be working well internally. We
have not deployed Enterprise voice yet but that is coming later. Our issue is when our internal clients try to join a meeting from another company. They can join the meeting and IM but as soon as they try to start Voice, they get kicked out of the call. Internal
meetings work fine with voice and video. They can join the meeting using Lync Web App but that is not a satisfactory solution for this. The company that hosted the meeting said users from other companies can join with the lync client without issue. I am a
remote employee and I can join using audio and video from my home. I have tried tracing the issue with the lync client logs but they make little sense to me. My question is, how does the information flow from internal clients to an external meeting> Is
it through the AV service in the Edge?
We have opened the firewalls wide open as a test (closed again of course) and it does not seem to be a firewall issue. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

To both of you, thanks but the articles do not help me. We can host meetings in our Lync 2013 organization without issue and it seems that others from outside can join with either Lync client or LWA. Our remote users connect via Lync client without a VPN
and have no issues with IM, Audio, video or sharing. The issue is connecting to another companies Lync meeting from inside our network. You can connect but as soon as you try to enable audio, you get kicked out. I have seen another post that describes the
issue but there is no solution there either. As I said in the original post, we ran a test where we temporarily opened both the internal and external firewalls wide open for the Edge and Reverse Proxy servers and it had no effect whatsoever so I conclude it
probably is not a firewall issue. Since Edwin verified what I believed in that the communication from the internal clients does go through our companies Edge server when joining a meeting with another company, it leads me to believe that this is
a setup issue with the Edge server but I have followed the setup documents and nothing seems out of place. Our edge server is a virtual server. I am wondering if this could be related to it or maybe this is just the way things are. Can anyone
tell me that their internal users can join a meeting hosted by another company? We have open federation setup at this time and since the company that hosted the meeting claims to have had users from other companies in meetings without issue, I assume their
SRV records work.

10.6 Server, 10.8 Clients (ML) issues with Contacts & Mail

I'm seeing issues with Mail in ML and contacts and our 10.6 server. All users are on a network home directories and using the Address Book service on the server. Mail and Contacts fail/work intermintently when both of them are running. Stopping and restarting either program may solve the problem.
Users of 10.7 clients see no issues. Only users of 10.8 ML have problems with Mail and Contacts. Its very obvious that Contacts and Mail are having issues with each other. I can remove the contents of the Address Book in the local user's library and and relaunch Contacts to run with out problems. As soon as you start Mail problems arise quickly.
While Mail is accessing the address database it will demonstrate long delays.
Any direction or help is much appreciated!

This is a known bug of ML. The operating system is not compatible with AFP home directories. You will notice that FaceTime won't work either. In addition, there are sandbox problems, preferences problems and performance issues.
In my experience, the only possible workaround is to convert all forks and Extended Attributes in the home directories to AppleDouble files and then switch from AFP to NFS. This can result in Spotlight issues, but otherwise, all applications will work fine and much faster.

10.2.8 client login issues with 10.3.9 server

Hi we have just updated our computer lab to 10.2.8 client computers and a 10.3.9 server but I am having issues with the client computer loging into the server I am using LDAPv3 and when I try to have a user login to the server from the client at the login screen I get the login window shake.I can login fine from a 10.3.9 client computer.Any advice would be appreciated.Thanks in advance

Check your 10.2.8 machines Directory Access and make sure LdapV2 is not checked and also that Ldap V3 is checked and configured correctly. I found that if I had both Ldapv2 and v3 on my 10.2.8 clients could not log in. 10.3 clients only have the option for Ldap V3, so it is not an issue.

Installing Oracle Database 11gR2 on Linux with Unbreakable Ente. Kernel

Hello,
I have Oracle Linux 5.5 with Oracle's Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel.
what do I need to have/prepare to install Oracle database 11gR2 on it?
the hardware part and the partitions are done!
1-
Do I need to install/run Oracle Validated Configuration RPM? even if I have Oracle's Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel?
if yes does in means the Oracle's Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel does not prepare/configure the system to host database?
2-
With any of the above
do I still need create or edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file, and add or edit lines similar to the following:
fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
fs.file-max = 6815744
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 536870912
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65500
net.core.rmem_default = 262144
net.core.rmem_max = 4194304
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 1048586
I saw allot of docs out there, but none answered these questions!
so please do not post docs or links to a general sites!
Thank you for the help

Dude wrote:
The intention of Oracle UEK is quite obviously Oracle specific, so I think it is legitimate to ask why not to include the Oracle specific kernel configuration file. The UEK is a drop-in replacement for the existing kernel. Why would we include the oracle-validated configuration options into the kernel package when we already have a perfectly good oracle-validated RPM that can be used with both kernels? Also, the UEK may be Oracle specific, but it's not database specific. Keep in mind that Oracle has thousands and thousands of products. :) I run the UEK on lots and lots of servers, many of which don't run database and many of which have completely different /etc/sysctl.conf configurations.
The list of available packages and add-on's at http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL5/5/base/x86_64/ is growing. So perhaps it's just a matter of continued development.
Not sure what the point of this statement is: there are no plans to incorporate the oracle-validated configuration into the kernel, as it already exists in oracle-validated.

Oracle Database : Date conversion issue between timezones

Hi All,
We are trying to convert date from Eurpoer/Amsterdam timezone to Australia/Sydnet timezone and extracting time out of it.
We are facing issue related to incorrect timing after conversion.
Please find below issue details,
Environment
Database: Oracle 10.2.0.4
Machine: Linux RHEL 4
Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands
Issue: After converting date from Eurpoer/Amsterdam timezone to Australia/Sydnet timezone
SELECT TO_CHAR (FROM_TZ (TO_TIMESTAMP ('201110201416', 'YYYYMMDDHH24MI'),
DBTIMEZONE
) AT TIME ZONE 'Australia/Sydney', 'HH24:MI')
FROM DUAL
Output of above SQL is 22:16.
Expected output is 23:16
Database Timezone (DBTIMEZONE) is set to +02:00 (i.e. GMT + 2) (Europe/Amsterdam)
If we convert date to Australia/Tasmania timezone then we get expected output i.e. 23:16.
Question: Expected time for Australia/sydney is 23:16, but why Oracle database provides 22:16 as output.
Please note that, Sydney and Tasmania comes under same timezone. Still we get different output for both the timezone.
Oracle database considers GMT + 10 for Australia/sydney and GMT + 11 for Australia/Tasmania.
If we want to use Australia/sydney then how should we get correct sydney time?
Regards
Shailendra

I made a test and it showed when I omit TO_CHAR, both queries have the same result 11:15 PM. So it's TO_CHAR which is the 'culprit'. Since this is a globalization issue, you may repeat your question in this forum:

By the way my local timezone is Europe/Berlin, there should be no difference to Amsterdam.
