Oracle thin client stop working

I just applied hotfix 3 to my MX 7 standard deployment and
all my thin client connections to Oracle database now stop working.
When I tried to verify those data source in Administration, I
received the error "java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver
available". All the connect work fine before the hoxfix.
My configuration is:
Windows 2000 Server
Coldfusion MX server version 7,0,0,91690
Java version 1.4.2_05
Java VM Specification Version 1.0
Java VM version 1.4.2_05-b04
Java Class Version 48.0
Please help.

Thank you for your assistance but my thin client connect is
still not working. I found the jvm.config file in directory
c:\ColdFusionMX7\runtime\bin. The content of the file is as follow:
# VM configuration
# Where to find JVM, if {java.home}/jre exists then that JVM

Are you talking about Coldfusion classpath or JVM

Database connection encryption and integrity with ColdFusion and Oracle thin client

As ColdFusion datasource we are using the Oracle thin client to connect with the database. So, basically we are using a JDBC URL such as jdbc:oracle:thin:@... and as Driver Class oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver. This works successfully however we would like to set encryption and integrity parameters as well. In Java this is done similarly by setting a Properties object prior to getting a connection as follows:
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.put("oracle.net.encryption_client", "REQUIRED");
prop.put("oracle.net.encryption_types_client", "( DES40 )");
prop.put("oracle.net.crypto_checksum_client", "REQUESTED");
prop.put("oracle.net.crypto_checksum_types_client", "( MD5 )");
OracleDataSource ods = new OracleDataSource();
ods.setProperties(prop);
ods.setURL("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:main");
Connection conn = ods.getConnection();
Is there a way that I can pass these parameters to the ColdFusion datasource. Ideally, I would love to do this centrally in such way that a change to all the cfquery or cfstoredproc is not needed.
I also know that in application servers such as Oracle AS there is an option when creating a datasource which says "Add Properties". In there you can add such properties. So, I was thinking of maybe creating a JNDI DS in the app. server and then magically connecting to it but this may have some impacts on the app.
Besides this I was also thinking of communicating with the CF datasource through the CF admin API (cfide.adminapi.administrator) and also the option of extending the Oracle driver so that when CF connects with it these params are already set.
I would love to have your professional opinion and suggestions on this.

I believe the thin driver actually needs the IP address (not the DNS name). Also, is "java" the name of the Oracle instance to which you are trying to connect?
Try the following:String driver = "jdbc:oracle:thin";
String dbIP = "W2RZ1NXG01's IP address";
String dbPort = "1530";
String dbSid = "java";
String dbUser = "Admin";
String dbPswd = "apassword";
String cnctStr = driver + ":@" + dbIP + ":" + port + ":" + dbSid;
try
    Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
    con = DriverManager.getConnection( cnctStr, dbUser, dbPswd );
    stmt = con.createStatement();
    stmt.executeUpdate(createString);
    stmt.close();
    con.close();
catch(SQLException ex)
    System.err.println( "The following SQLException occurred: " + ex );
    System.err.println( "Message: " + ex.getMessage() );

Hi,
You can try to change the Lync Profile name. After you do it, Lync will create a new Profile. The Lync Profile path is following:

If the issue persists, please repair Office 2013 and then test again.

Setting up oracle thin client for 9i?

Does anyone have experience stting up data pools using oracle's 9i thin client that ships with BEA WLS 6.1? I am on a Sun Solaris box running Solaris 8 and oracle client 9i. I have followed all of the instrcutions (that I can find anyway) and it does not seem to work. Can someone please tell me exactly what to put in each field on the console for the Data Pool and in the classpath?
Thanks in advance!!
Adam

Hi Adam,
Configuration of a connection pool for oracle 9 is the same
as for oracle 8.
The only thing you should do is downloading a new
classes12.zip that supports oracle 9, and putting it in to
weblogic class path.
You can download classes12.zip from otn.oracle.com.
To put it to the weblogic classpath you need to modify
weblogic startup script.

Oracle Thin Client Error when Inserting

Cold Fusion 8 fully patched on Windows Server 2008 fully
patched
Oracle 8.1.7.1 on Linux as DB with Network Option
(encryption)
Oracle Client 10.2.0.3 Thin Client (tried with ojdbc14 and
ojdbc12 classes)
SELECT, DELETE, UPDATE statements all work just fine.
When an INSERT statement is sent to the DB it is processed
(the insert is made and committed!) but we are getting a database
error message "Typlänge größer als Höchstwert"
which translates approximately to typ length is larger than the
limit.
Several threads show this as a problem when the return from
the db is too large but this is definately not the case (a simple
insert of one small row).
The SQL that is run at the DB includes a suffix of "RETURNING
ROWID" which is not part of our SQL and is apparently added by CF
or the thin client. We do not handle the return value (we tried but
that did not help either).
Due to the fact that the INSERT is actually made and
committed, we assume the problem must be at the client end and not
in the database.
This is a blocking problem and appears to be confined to CF 8
with the Thin Client.
CF 8 with an ODBC connection to the same DB works OK.
Be very glad for any help as we want to go to production with
this environment.
Cheers
Thomas

I noticed in LiveDocs for
cfquery
for CF 8 that the
result parameter is a little different than described for
CF7 in that it mentions the ROWID being returned for Oracle insert
statements.
What happens when you try including a result parameter (even
if you don't end up using the result_name.ROWID variable)?
result Optional Name for the structure in which cfquery
returns the result variables. For more information, see Usage.
The cfquery tag also returns the following result variables
in a structure. You can access these variables with a prefix of the
name you specified in the result attribute. For example, if you
assign the name myResult to the result attribute, you would
retrieve the name of the SQL statement that was executed by
accessing #myResult.sql#. The result attribute provides a way for
functions or CFCs that are called from multiple pages, possibly at
the same time, to avoid overwriting results of one call with
another. The result variable of INSERT queries contains a key-value
pair that is the automatically generated ID of the inserted row;
this is available only for databases that support this feature. If
more than one record was inserted, the value can be a list of IDs.
The key name is database-specific.
result_name.ROWID Oracle only. The ID of an inserted row.
This is not the primary key of the row, although you can retrieve
rows based on this ID.
I have a hunch that there are differences between Oracle 8i
and 10g in how the rowid value is being "returned".

Oracle OCI driver stops working after a while of disuse

I am using wl server 8.1, oracle oci driver (oracle 9i client), on solaris.
When i create a connection pool using the oci driver, it connects, and i
test it, and the tests run fine.
The Application works for a few days. Then eventually after disuse, say over
the weekend, I get exceptions in the log (the message is at end of email).
This is because it gives me a sql exception saying it cannot resolve the
service name. The database is up and running, confirmed.
I tried testing the connection pool manually through the console, and it
failed with the service name exception. But it would connect fine when i
used sqlplus to connect to the databse, using the same service name.
Why does this deteriorate over time? Is there a specific test that would
prevent this from happening?
Once i restart the weblogic server, the connection pool connects fine. But
this is not a solution, since I can't be restarting the server all the time.
Any one got any ideas?

-AyanHi. Is there a firewall between the weblogic server and DBMS? There is
a problem with OCI losing connectivity to the DBMS. OCI may be keeping
a socket open as long as the process (weblogic) is running.

Quick Connect VPN client stopped working - now won't uninstall

I've been using the Cisco QuickVPN client for months, then it stopped working...doesn't get past "Connecting..." (and other clients are still able to connect to our RSV4000 router without issue). So I finally decided to just install and reinstall the software, except now I can't even do that...it gets hung at "Preparing Installation" in the InstallShield Wizard. Can you help me get this uninstalled so I can start from scratch please???

Just to let you know.. I fixed MY problem.. I get my machine to connect to a different wifi network and run quickvpn to the same rv082 (the other end of tunnel) and guess what it is now working! Even when I hook my laptop to my original wireless network, my quickvpn is now connecting to same endpoint as before. I powered down my system numerous time and have no problem. I don't know whether this lady's quickvpn problem is same as mine but i would suggest her to bring her machine (hopefully it is a laptop) to a different router and see if her quickvpn is now connecting!

Connection from jdeveloper to Oracle cloud service stopped working

My connection to the Oracle cloud using a jdeveloper application server connection stopped working. The connection worked fine for a couple of days and I was able to deploy apps using it.
I get the following error :
Testing Cloud-Admin ... failed.
listApplications failed.
Check username, password, domain, instance.
Check cloud sdk location & version: Tools->Preferences->Oracle Cloud
0 of 1 tests successful.
I double checked the AUTH details and also made sure the sdk location was correct and the same one that worked correctly earlier.
Thanks.

So this works intermittently without any changes ? Sounds peculiar, I haven't had such issues though there have been few occasions where the connection did not work, but those have always been very brief and rare. The only thing I can think of is some sort proxy issue. You probably need to contact the JCS support to get the issue investigated ..

Method getCustomDatum() and Oracle thin client

Hello All,
I am using WL6.1 and an Oracle thin driver. I am using the Oracle Intermedia classes
for Java in order to retrieve images for jsps and servlets.
Trying to use the Oracle classes caused class cast exceptions. When using the
weblogic.jdbc.vendor.oracle.OracleResultSet, I got the error
"java.sql.SQLException: getCustomDatum is not supported by the Weblogic JDBC Driver".
I was wondering if anyone else has run into this problem? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,

Do you mean that I need to get to get a connection directly to thedatabase using
the Thin driver instead of getting the connection via the pool?Yes, this is the first option. Note that with using thin driver directly
you loose all advantages of using weblogic JDBC subsystem like
transactions, connection pooling and caching of prepeared statements.
I'd go with a stored procedure.

Hi Richard,
This feature is not supported by weblogic because
oracle Datum is not serializable. In case you have a
strict requirement, you will need to switch to using

moving processing to stored procedure.

Client stops working and getting DCOM error in event viewer

Hi
I am getting these errors after upgrading the client from 2007 to 2012.. the client works for a certain amount of time then stops functioning as expected. Logs not moving and get error when manually cycling policy etc from client.

The service is running and the ccmexec.log does not stop but its rolled over since the issue occurred. About 30% of the logs continue logging and the rest stop with no action.I done a WMIDiag and I could see issues with missing namespaces and DCOM errors.
I am unistalling the client and reinstalling which fixes the issue for a short period of time, then I will do a WMIDiag once its working then monitor. Once it breaks I will do another WMIDiag and fetch the logs in to see if there are any indicators to why
this is happening.
Is there anything else you would do at this point?

Oracle 10g Client not working from Vista Business

Hi,
I have installed Oracle 10g Rel2 DB on my desktop (OS Vista Ultimate X64 bit) and try to connect from my new laptop (OS Vista business) after installing the client software which does not work, whereas I am able to connect to same database from my other laptop using Windows XP. The tnsnames.ora files on both laptops have the same contents. Moreover, the SQL Plus is also not working on the vista laptop, I mean when I try to login the window closes down itself it doesn't stay open even to give any error message. . . Any ideas would be a great help . . .thx

Did you install the Vista specific Oracle client?
