Personal Oracle 8i Net8

Can anyone tell me what I have to do to configure net8 using PO
8i so that I can access the db with tools other than sql*plus.
The documentation states that the "typical installation" creates
a default client profile and net service names. When I run
sql*plus I can connect using scott/tiger however when I try
using scott/tiger@oracle where oracle is a net service name I
created using IPC protocol I get an error "ORA-12560:
TNS:protocol adapter error"
The only default net service name that was created
is "EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA" which produces the following error:
"ORA-12500: TNS:listener failed to start a dedicated server
process"
When installing PO 8 a second time I chose the custom install to
see if there was any other options available for net
configuration the only option I had was the global db name which
I left as "oracle" and the sid seems to be hardwired to "orcl".
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

You have to load the listener for connecting to the PO8i database
.There is a file "tnslsnr??.???" in the \bin directory. execute
this file whenever you start using the local database.once the
listener is loaded, you will be able to connect to the db with
other tools.
From my personal experience, i used PO8 and when i tried to load
the listener it used to give me a GPF error. There was a bug with
PO8 on win98 machines.I had to revert to PO7, which worked
perfectly fine.PO7 does not require the listener to be loaded. It
is only with PO8 version and above that the listener has to be
loaded.
All the Best.
In case of any problem, feel free to contact me.

Report (release 6.0.8.15.0) failure on tcp/ip connection to personal oracle 8.1.5

hi,how can i resolve this problem?
i use personal oracle with a tcp/ip connection and if i run a
report(developed with report builder oracle) i receive a
compiler error .if i run this same form on the server,the form
has no problem.
the only different is a client's call with tns (the listner is
start up)
thank and sorry for my bad english

Hi, how are you?
I read your file. On my computer, I got the same problem. First I installed Personal Oracle 8.15 version under window 98. The oracle home is e:\orale\ora81. Then I installed Form 8i in the orale home e:\oracle\ora. After installation, there are two SQLPLUS. One is under ora81 and another is ora. The one which is in e:\oracle\ora81 is working and it can bring up the database. Another one and Forms don't work. They can not connect to the local database. It means my client which is under e:\oracle\ora can't connect to my server which is under e:\oracle\ora81. I think I shoud set up the connection in tnsnames.ora by using Net8 Easy Config. I did it. It failed. Can you help me?
Thanks.

No, you shouldn't have to to.
If you have Personal Oraacle 8 running properly on your PC, then you can just connect to the database from Developer V6 using your normal username/password. For example, if you log on to SQLPLUS as scott/tiger, then the same will work for your forms and reports. You don't even need to enter a connect string. I have it working OK on a Windows '98 PC, with Personal Oracle 8i, and Forms v6i.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Forms 6i on personal Oracle 8i and polite 8i

Hi,
Does anyone have a clue about the reason I cant get to run forms 6i on personal Oracle 8i or polite 8. I keep getting an error saying no listner, althou I dont need a listner when I am using single machine. same seting was working on polite 8 and forms 6. I can run sql plus 8 fine on same machine. Please respond to my email. thanks

Forms 6 does need a listener to eb able to talk to Oracle 8i even though they are on the same machine. This is because they reside in different Oracle homes and cannot 'see' each other. The listener should be started automatically with Oracle 8i, make sure you have a TNSNAMES entry for the 8i database in your Forms Net8 Oracle Home (probably ORANT or ORAWIN9x - not sure about Windows 2000!).

Connecting Developer 6 to Personal Oracle 8.1.0.5

Developer 6 (Graphics)/Personal Oracle 7.3.3 - Connectivity

SQL*Plus, Forms and Reports, all seem to connect to Personal
Oracle V7.3.3 OK. However when I connect with Graphics, although
I get a message indicating successful completion, the logon
dialogue box is still displayed and the connection hasn't
succeeded.
Any ideas?

Faisal,
You may already have resolved this issue but just in case you
are still getting problems, here is some info that may help.
I faced the same problems with Oracle Developer 6 and Personal
Oracle 7.3.3. Oracle Developer 6 uses Net8 to connect to the db
whereas Personal Oracle 7 uses SQL*Net, hence the TNS problems
you have been getting.
There is a solution. Oracle Support suggested that you had to
have a listener running in order for the connection to work. To
do this you needed to instal the SQL*Net Add-Ons from the
Personal Oracle CD, configure TNSNAMES.ora to point to a dummy
IP address and start the listener. When I tried this I
discovered that you don't infact need amend the TNSNAMES.ora
file or run up the listener. As long as the SQL*Net add-ons are
installed, the connection from Oracle Developer 6 to Personal
Oracle 7 seems to work.
Hope this is of some help.

Connecting two machines using personal oracle

I have a personal oracle 8.0.4 installed on my machine, I tried to connect another machine to use the same database, as a networking both machines were able to access the other but upon trying to connect to oracle I always get TNS message.
Would you please advise.

Make sure that your listener is started along with the oracle version. use lsnrctl command to start view listener status
lsnrctl> status tells status
> start to start
> stop to stop listener
now you need to configure the tnsnames thru net8 easy config or manually. it works
good luck

How to get connectivity between Personal Oracle 8.0.0.3 & Developer 2000 (Any Version

Can anybody tell me how to get connectivity between Personal Oracle 8.0.3 and Developer 2000 Rel 2.1 in Win 98 Environment.
I am able to install either Oracle 8 or Developer 2000 but not both, even if I use different Oracle Homes.
When I posted the same question to www.xperts.com someone wrote to me saying that a patch has to be used to get the connectivity.
I have been trying to solve the problem for last 6 months, but could not do it.
Can you please tell me how to get the connectivity or atleast tell me which version will facilitate connectivity in a stand alone PC.
Thanks and regards,
Ashok

For Windows98. Worked for me, but no guarantee it will solve your problem.
1) Install Dev2K.
2) Install PO8i in a separate Oracle home.
3) Use the following for TNSNAMES.ORA in your DEV2K Home:
# C:\ORAWINKS\NETWORK\ADMIN\TNSNAMES.ORA Configuration File:C:\orawinKS\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle Net8 Assistant
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =

WebDB for Windows NT for Personal Oracle 8i

I have Personal Oracle 8i installed on my notebook and would like to install WebDB for 8i for training purposes. I have a older O'Reilly book about WebDB.
Is there an archive download for WebDB for 8i still available?
This is a similar question to Ashok Harnal about Windows 2000.
Richard Isaacs

Sandy, I am up and good to go. I had no problems with getting Oracle 8i running after I removed and then reinstalled the app - with the automatic programs in my system tray DISABLED or TURNED OFF. If Net8 Config Assistant and Net8 Easy Config did not load during install - you will not be able to get the application running, although after install you receive a message stating that these two files are recommended but not required. Remove and then reinstall Oracle with your tray(bottom right of the taskbar) items disabled. Good luck!

Installation Problem Personal Oracle 8.0.4 on Windows 2000

When trying to install Personal Oracle 8.0.4 on a Windows 2000 machine, i get an Error:
"Unable to delete the NT Service for the SQL *Net V2 Listener".
No previous installation of Personal Oracle is present on this machine as it's a newly installed OS.
Any Help would be appreciated

I tried installing Oracle 8i Personal Edition in Windows 2000. The installer loads and it start installing the files, except when it goes half way through the installation, it quits. I don't know if this is a bug in 8i Personal Edition or not. Because I am unable to install the software on my machine.

How to Download Personal Oracle

After trying several times to download Personal Oracle 9i, I perused this discussion group seeking a solution to a problem that I was having and finding that others were encountering the same problem.
Perhaps you have encounted a difficulty in unzipping the Personal Oracle downloads... I and others have reported the fact that there are mutltiple CRC errors in the downloaded file when you try to unzip it.
Well, after analysing the problem I have found a solution and surprise surprise it is marketedly similar to a problem I discovered with Oracle over 3 years ago... a problem which their tech support insisted had to do with the tuning of my companies server... well now I am not so sure that the problem is not inherant within Oracles handling of LOB's on the web. But instead of arguing an old point... let me detail for our users HOW TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL there ORacle products.
Step by step:
1. Download the product
2. Download a second copy of the product and save it with a slightly different name
3. Unzip both copies with Winzip 8 or better. You must unzip them into seperate directories. Save the unzip log which tells you which files contained CRC errors.
4. Examine both logs and choose the version that contained the fewest CRC errors.
HERE IS THE SECRET... as in the problem my old employer discovered years ago... the errors occur randomly in LOB downloads... therefore the chance of the same file being corrupt in both downloads is very low.
5. The log will tell you which directory is being extracted and which file was corrupt... search the log for the string CRC in Wordpad... then find the missing file in the alternate tree and copy it to the working copy.
6. Repeat for each corrupt file.
7. when completed you can install the product from your working directory.
Its not pretty... but it works.
After searching for work for the last two months I thought it would be a good idea to refresh my skills with the latest version of Oracle... thank you Oracle for forcing me to use my skills to analyse your problems and develop a wotkaround... I now appreciate Postgres even more... I just wish there were employers who recognised that open source software is better supported than commercial products.
Anyone have a job lead in Denver for a developer with 20 years experiance?

Hello...
Simply amazing what it takes to download the 9i.
In fact I am still trying out your tip, and have had to work on 3 different ZIP sets so far!!
Still have one or two files that refuse to download right! (Especially the big ones).
I hope I get closer and closer to the final good set of install files soon!
Anyway, from what you say, it sounds like Oracle employs certain airheads...

Personal Oracle 8.1.6 on Win 98

I tried to install persaonal Oracle 8.1.6 on Win 98 and when I start the Oracle using svrmgrl I got the following error
Cannot open registry
software\oracle\homeo\SID_LIST
starting with default sid
Then it asks for password. I tried all passwords and finally got error
ORA-01031 - Cannot logon to Oracle 8i
I have used UNIX. What is the equivalent of ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME of UNIX in WIN 98. Where all sid's of all startup and shutdown databases are stored.
Any body knows.

There is NO need to have to installations of PO8 on single machine,you can create two or more instances of databases.

Personal Oracle 8.1.5, Installation Problem

I installed Personal Oracle (Windows NT)8.1.5 and
I installed Oracle Client 8.1.6
Personal Oracle (main database: ZEUS) works fine! only if I am at network.
As soon as I undock my laptop, personal Oracle does not allow me to get connection through sqlplus.
I checked listeners:
File:D:\Oracle\Ora81\NETWORK\ADMIN\listener.ora
ZEUS =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = sashb)(PORT = 1521))
(PROTOCOL_STACK =
(PRESENTATION = TTC)
(SESSION = NS)
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
(PROTOCOL_STACK =
(PRESENTATION = TTC)
(SESSION = NS)
seems they are fine. sql.ora - looks like fine as well!
File: D:\Oracle\Ora81\NETWORK\ADMIN\sqlnet.ora
SQLNET.CLIENT_REGISTRATION = sashb
NAMES.PREFERRED_SERVERS =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = sashb)(PORT = 1521))
configuration file ... find!
Configuration File:D:\Oracle\Ora81\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora
ZEUS.LAN.MIL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = SASHB)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = ZEUS)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA.LAN.MIL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
The question is very simple, why the personal Oracle works inside network, and it does not work if I undock my system?
If I need to make any changes, what changes must be done?
It is window NT, Service pack 5.
Personal Oracle installed with default settings at D: drive, with default directory settings.
PS.
I tryed to shutdown database, listeners, and startup listeners, and after this database--did not help. I check registry... seems fine.
What is missed?
Thank you very much.
