Oracle Database Gateway for MS SQL server

Hi,
we have Oracle Database Appliance.
OS: Oracle Linux 5 x64
DB: 11.2.0.3 enterprise (Oracle Database Gateway for MS SQL server at the same version)
Communication with remote DB is OK, but CPU load is too high without any reason. CPU waste, useless HW load, energy waste.
Enterprise manager console:
http://81.89.49.222/em.JPG
OS top:
http://81.89.49.222/top.JPG
Please can you help me how to solve this issue? How can I restart these procesess? Any ideas?
Thank you
Michal

Need help trouble shooting Database Gateway for MS SQL Server setup, getting ORA-28546 error

Dear All,
I am trying to setup Oracle Database Gateway for MS SQL Server(I don't have admin access to the MS SQL Server). When I try to test the dblink connection, I get the following error.
I issued select * from dual@xyz;
ORA-28546: connection initialization failed, probable Net8 admin error
ORA-28511: lost RPC connection to heterogeneous remote agent using SID=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=dg4msql)))
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from xyz
28546. 0000 - "connection initialization failed, probable Net8 admin error"
My setup is the following.
1. Oracle 11gR2 running on Oracle Linux 6, the same version gateway is installed on the same server, but different home directory.
2. Oracle DB home directory is /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1, gateway home directory is /u01/gateway.
3. I use the same listener.ora file for both the db and the gateway.
4. the contents of my listener.ora, tnsnames.ora and the initdg4msql.ora are below.

Obviously, I would like to get this setup to work, but I also have couple other questions regarding this setup.
1. When installing the gateway, it asks to run the root.sh script. the root.sh script as for the following.
Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory: [/usr/local/bin]:
The file "dbhome" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n)
[n]: n
The file "oraenv" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n)
[n]: n
The file "coraenv" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n)
[n]: n
is the above answer correct?
Thanks for reading.

Oracle Transparent Gateway for MS SQL Server

Hello,
I successfully installed the Oracle transparent Gateway for MS SQL Server for Oracle 8i. Now I am doing the same for Oracle 9i.
Does anyone know how to 'create a new gateway service' on 9i???
This is how you would do that on 8i on the Windows box...
1) At the MS-DOS prompt, enter:
> set GTW_EXE=TG4MSQL.EXE
2) To create a new gateway service name, enter:
> GTWSRV73 sid -CREATE | MORE
-where sid is the gateway sid.
Does anyone know how to do those steps for 9i Oracle Transparent Gateway?
Thank you.

Oracle gateway for MS sql server 2005

Is Oracle 9i Gateway for MS SQL Server compatible with SQL 2005? If not what are the other options?

Check the support matrix at metalink.
But be advised that Oracle 9i is in desupport mode.

How to configure distributed transaction in Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC? (ORA-02047)

I am connecting from Oracle to another database server (MS SQL Server, DB2 the error message is the same) through an ODBC connection using Oracle SQL Developer. (This is how I set up)
I want to query the schema of a non-Oracle database using the data dictionary mapping of the Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC.
This works well:
select * from all_tables@katimssql;
But this doesn't:
create table alltables_mssql as
select * from all_tables@katimssql;
Output:
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-02047: cannot join the distributed transaction in progress
ORA-06512: at "SYS.HS$_DDTF_SQLTABLES", line 58
ORA-06512: at line 1
Does anyone know the solution of this?
Thanks in advance,
Kata

I tried these, none of them worked, the error message is the same.

HS_TRANSACTION_MODEL = READ_ONLY_AUTOCOMMIT
HS_TRANSACTION_MODEL = READ_ONLY

Hi Kata,
this won't work as the ALL_TABLES is not a table that exists in your SQl Server - instead it is a "mimicked" table. This means the gateway will check if you have on your SQL Server a table called all_tables and when there's no table it will start an internal mechanism to check out what sort of tables exist in your SQL Server database. So the gateway is starting internally another transaction to get details from the foreign database and DG4ODBC can't participate in distributed transactions at all. Instead of using all_tables you have to use a real SQL Server table like SQ Server sys.objects or sys.tables.

What are the advantage of using Oracle Database when compare to SQL SERVER

Hi all
Please tell anyone about
what are the advantage of using Oracle Database when compare to SQL SERVER

Hi,
There are various differences between the two.
1. SQL Server is only Windows, but Oracle runs on almost all Platforms.
2. You can have multiple databases in SQL Server, but Oracle provides you only one database per instance.Given that the very term 'database' has s different meaning in the two products, this "difference" is absolutely meaningless.
3. SQL Server provides T-SQL for writing programs, whereas Oracle provides PL/SQLWhich means what? Both products have a procedural programming language. They named them differently, and the languages are not interchangeable. Means nothing in comparing the features/strengths/weaknesses/suitability to purpose.
4. Backup types in both are the same. (Except Oracle provides an additional backup called Logical Backup.)You make that sound like "Logical Backup" is something more than it is. It is nothing more than an export of the data and metadata. Many experts don't even consider it a backup. I'm sure SQL Server provides the same functionality though they probably call it by some other name.
5. Both provide High Availability.Well, I guess they both have a suite of features they refer to as "High Availability". But what does that really mean? The devil is in the details. Remember, the two products don't even agree on what constitutes a "database".
6. Both come in various distributions.???

If you are going for an Implementation, you can try SQL Server Express Edition and Oracle XE which are free to use.
Then you can choose whichever is comfortable for your needs.

Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC with Oracle XE

Dear Colleague,
Is it possible to use the Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC in conjunction with the Oracle Express Edition (or does one have to use the Standard or Enterprise Editions)? If yes, are there any restrictions when using the Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC in the context of Oracle XE?
Best regards,
Randy

Hi,
As it says, as long as you have an RDBMS license then you do not need a separate license for DG4ODBC. If the confusion is where it says "Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC can be installed and used on a machine different" then that is just to clarify that you can run the gateway on a completely separate machine from where the licensed RDBMS is running, but you can also run DG4ODBC on the same machine where the RDBMS is installed.
If you install 11g DG4ODBC on the same machine where you have a 10g RDBMS then it must be installed into a separate ORACLE_HOME.
If this is still not clear then please get back and let us know exactly what you need clarifying.
Regards,
Mike

Error using Oracle Database Gateway for DRDA

Hello All,
We're encountering issues while trying to query a table using a db link to DB2 database.
We are running oracle 11g R1 on windows and we have DB2 installed on the box. We've installed database gateway for DRDA also on the same box. The gateway is running on a different home location within the same machine. But we get the following error while trying to query across the db link. Would be great if you can take a look and suggest appropriate changes.
ORA-28545: error diagnosed by Net8 when connecting to an agent
Unable to retrieve text of NETWORK/NCR message 65535
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from UDB
Here's how we configured the gateway:
Listener:
SID_LIST_LISTENER=
(SID_LIST=
(SID_DESC=
(SID_NAME=DB2)
(ORACLE_HOME=E:\app\Oracle\product\11.1.0\db_1)

DRDA_RECOVERY_USERID=ORADRDA
DRDA_RECOVERY_PASSWORD=ORADRDA
DRDA_ISOLATION_LEVEL=CS
DRDA_DISABLE_CALL=TRUE
DRDA_CODEPAGE_MAP=codepage.map
heres how we created the db link:
CREATE DATABASE LINK udb CONNECT TO ORACLE IDENTIFIED BY "welcome1" USING 'dg4drda.idc.oracle.com';
and this was the sql executed
select * from employee@udb;
Really appreciate your assistance.

Hello Mike,
Here's the entire listener entry (I've changed the SID to DB2. Consequently I have also changed the SID in tns and gateway init under folder "11.1.0\tg_1\dg4drda\admin"
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = XPONE)(PORT = 1521))
SID_LIST_LISTENER=
     (SID_LIST=
          (SID_DESC=
               (SID_NAME=DB2)
               (ORACLE_HOME=E:\app\Oracle\product\11.1.0\db_1)
               (PROGRAM=g4drsrv)
          (SID_DESC=
               (SID_NAME=PLSExtProc)
               (ORACLE_HOME=E:\app\Oracle\product\11.1.0\db_1)
               (PROGRAM=extproc)
I've also added the necessary IP entry to my host file.
Here's the listener log. I've grabbed it for 2 consecutive attempts to bind the package.

Import Oracle DataBase dump file Into Sql Server With out connection oracle using c# code.

Hi All,
I would like to ask how can imports my dump oracle database file data and struct into sql server 2005
with out make connection oracle.
best regards.
Hakim.

Hi Hakim.
Based on your title, what I understood there is a issue regarding transfer oracle db dump to sql database using C# code. Am I right? If so, I am afraid there is no build-in method which meet your requrements in .NET framework. You must provides
OraDump Export API to allow developers integrate corresponding capabilities into their applications. These capabilities are about export data from Oracle dump files into popular databases like Microsoft SQL server. Every developer
having OraDump Export API can write just few lines of code on C# or Visual Basic to implement the appropriate export process.
I am search a third-party link, but it's a paid service.

If you don't have to with code, Please refer to: Migrating Oracle Databases to SQL Server 2000

Transparent Gateway for MS SQL Server on Win 2000

Can anyone tell me where I can get this software from? I was led
to believe it was part of the 9.0.1 CD Pack for Microsoft
Windows but it doesnt appear to part of it. Do I have to
purchase another piece of software or can I download it from
somewhere?
Regards,

The gateway is available on the Oracle database CD v9.0.1. There
is no separate CD for the gateway as of v9.0.1.
You can install the gateway but choosing the custom install
option during the installation process.

Oracle DB 10g r2 & Microsoft SQL Server 2008

Hello,
I have a need to load data from Oracle 10g r2 to SQL Server 2008 and vice versa. I am new to heterogeneous connectivity. How do I connect to SQL Server from Oracle and vice versa(connect Oracle from SQL Server).
The Oracle version : Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.5.0
The SQL Server Version : Microsoft SQL Server 2008Both databases are located on different machines. Oracle is hosted on Solaris UX and SQL Server 2008 is on Windows Server 2008.
Any documentation in this regard will help.
Please advise.
Thank you much for your time in reading this post.

When you want to connect from Oracle to a SQL server you need to use a gateway. Oracle offers 2 different kind of gateways. The gateway which is for free is based on a 3rd party ODBC. It is called Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC) and allows you to connect to any foreign database as long as the ODBC driver is compliant with the gateway requirements documented in the manual.
As it allows you to connect to any foreign database it only supports a few Oracle functions which is able to map to foreign database equivalents. All other functions are post processed.
The more powerful product is Database Gateway for MS SQL Server (DG4MSQL) which is designed for MS SQL Server connections. Thus it supports many more functions which it is directly mapping to SQL Server equivalents and it is also able to participate in distributed transactions and to call SQL Server stored procedures. This DG4MSQL gateway is not for free and requires a license.
I would suggest to check out My Oracle Support and look for this note:Master Note for Oracle Gateway Products [Document 1083703.1]
It contains a reference to many other notes describing the differences between DG4ODBC and DG4MSQL and it also contains links to common set up notes.
After looking at this note you'll notice that on Unix most 3rd party ODBC drivers are commercial drivers and you might need to purchase them as well. Sometimes the license costs for these drivers are more expensive then purchasing the DG4MSQL. Another option would be to install DG4ODBC on a Windows platform, for example on the SQL Server machine and you could then use the MS SQl Server ODBC driver which is for free and you then have a complete solution for free.
