  • Oracle 10g client not connecting to Oracle 8i server

    I have oracle 8i server already installed. I downloaded Oracle 10g client recently. I installed it on one machine and trying to connect to 8i server. I used TNSnames.ora which was already present on the machine. After entering the username, password and service name in SQL plus, I got a error saying server version not suported. Does 10g client not support 8i server or am I doing something wrong ?

    There is an 8.1.7.4 patchset for Windows.
    If you take a look at the Instant Client forum, there are some discussions on this where one of the Oracle product managers (Mr. Jue) has chimed in. At present, only connections to 8.1.7.4 and higher are supported. It is expected that the first 10g patchset will fix this bug and allow connections to 8.1.7.0 and above databases.

  • Oracle 10g client connect to oracle 11g server

    Hi All,
    In my system, i have installed oracle 11g server(11.1.0.6.0). while i try to connect to this server by 10g client in my friends system,which is in the same network,it is showing
    ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist,
    then i tried with other system (using oracle10g client), its showing
    ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
    then i tried with one another system (using oracle 9i client) -- its is connected.
    what may be the problem. not connecting using oracle 10g client. and also different error.

    Hi,
    The client version is 10.2.0.1
    this version may not be connect to oracle 11g?
    If so then which are the client version will connect to oracle11g server(11.1.0.6.0).A 10.2 client will connect to an 11.x database, but the sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora files must be configured correctly. The errors you reported are not uncommon and have been diagnosed repeatedly on this forum. Let's not confuse the issue by comparing / copying files from various machines, as that has already created a moving target of error messages.
    On the client that is exhibiting the problem ...
    Do you have a single ORACLE_HOME? A single TNSNAMES.ORA?
    On that machine, at a command prompt, do a tnsping on the service in question. Also try to connect with sqlplus. Copy the entire session -- commands and results -- and paste it all back here.
    On the server machine, log on as the owner of the oracle software, and at a command prompt enter the command "lsnrctl status". Again, Copy the entire session -- commands and results -- and paste it all back here.

    my 9.2 client can not connect to 10g server,
    It says that "this application requires that you have been granted to select any dictionary privelege".
    my 10 g client connecting normally, but i have many terminal computers with 9 client.
    Tell me how to connect to 10g server from 9 client please.

  • TNS-12541: No listner on Windows VISTA (oracle 10g client)

    Hi all,
    After installing an Oracle 10g Client for Windows Vista, when trying to connect to the database, i got the error No listner (TNS-12541). I checked the database listner but it's running and i can connect there from XP OS client. Does anybody have an idea about that.
    tnsping give the same error also but when i ping the server it gives response.
    Any body has experioenced the same problem, if yes could you help please it's very urgent.
    Thanks regards
    raitsarevo

    raitsarevo,
    First of all: it's not very urgent. Very urgent requests end up in a SR at http://metalink.oracle.com.
    Oracle doesn't support all editions of Vista and 10g may not even support Vista at all. Please refer to the download page for 10g at http://otn.oracle.com for further details.
    A non-supported edition of Mickeysoft usually results in Oracle Net issues.

  • WIS 10901 / Linux / BO XI3.1/ Oracle 10g client

    I have been installed a server with Linux 4.8 with Bo XI 3.1, Oracle 10g client. When i refresh a report of WebIntelligence on Infoview i recibed the error:
    (CS) Unable to bind to configuration object (WIS 10901)
    (CS) DBDriver failed to load /bo/bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86/dataAccess/RDBMS/connectionServer/libdbd_oci11.so (libclntsh.so.11.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file to directory) (WIS 10901)
    Someone can help me with this issue.
    Thanks.

    I ended up reinstalling the Oracle client and even included an extra component (oracle.javavm.client:11.1.0.6.0 - Oracle Java Client), but the error did not go away.  I made sure I had a valid TNSNAMES.ORA entry and still it did not work.  I checked another server that was working (disabled all but one in CMC to prove it worked) and I found no differences, bother servers reported the following for the /lib32 file:
    $ file libclntsh.so.11.1
    libclntsh.so.11.1: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
    So then it occurred to me that I had installed my last server a little differently from the others and that perhaps I had installed Oracle last and not first.  I still and not sure, but I just logged into the server and did a "stopservers" and "startservers" and guess what, no more error.  I will be watching this, if it throws another error I will post back here, but it seems to me that the old trick or restarting when all else checks out is still a very good solution.
    It occurs to me now that when I had originally started the SI Agent on the problem server that I had not done so with "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" set.  I probably did a "su boappaccount" and my system does not pass that variable through to the new session, I should have done "su - boappaccount" or even "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib32:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" would have worked.  I am not 100% certain this was my problem.  So if Oracle is installed, your lib32 files are good, TNSNAMES is good, then I would make sure that the session that originated the current BO SIA instance did so with the "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" enabled.

  • Connect Oracle 10g client to the Oracle 10g database behind a firewall

    I need to connect an Oracle 10g client to the Oracle 10g database (windows server 2003 box) behind a firewall. I ran into this problem: Port redirection. Port redirection requires the Oracle client to connect to the database using a different port (usually a randomly selected TCP port) than the default or originally configured one. If there is no firewall between the server and the client, port redirection will not affect the actual connection. However, if port redirection does occur with the server behind a firewall, the client will be likely to suffer from a connectivity failure. The reason is simple: the newly assigned port based on port redirection is often blocked by the firewall. Such failures are not uncommon on Windows platforms.
    I don't know how to stablished an unique TCP port.
    I Enabled USE_SHARED_SOCKET on the Oracle database server, windows registry. Acording to what I read,that will force the server machine to share its port 1521 and thus all clients will stay on that port when connecting to the database. Noticeably, port redirection will not occur with USE_SHARED_SOCKET enabled, but that's true in oracle 8 or oracle 9. In oracle 10g this solution doesn't work.
    I will apreciate any help about this. Please!
    Thanks in advanced.

    Three solutions in order of preference
    1 Use Connection Manager on the server (only installed using a Custom Install). This will tunnel all traffic through a single port. It will also allow you to configure allowable nodes
    2 Set up shared server to use a fixed port. Disadvantage: shared server has overhead and the number of connections is limited
    3 Use shared_sockets. Disadvantage: when you stop the listener everyone is disconnected.

  • Oracle 10g Client

    We are having difficulty getting the Oracle 10g client working for some users. The client installs fine, and works when we are logged in as an administrator, but not as the normal users.
    The Oracle Client and our applications are installed on a Citrix Metaframe server (thin client server) running Windows 2003 Server. We install the Oracle client (10.2.0.1.0) on the C: drive, which is hidden from the end users. We then grant permissions to the Oracle directory on the C: drive for them to access the oracle client.
    After we install, grant permissions, check environment variables and registry settings, we run Sql Plus to check that we can connect to the database. This all works fine when logged in as an admin ( as do our applications ). But when we try to run SqlPlus as a normal user, we get the login screen, and as soon as we try to connect, the program crashes.
    If I run a batch file to try to login to the dos version of SqlPlus, I receive the error:
    SP2-1503: Unable to initialize Oracle call interface
    SP2-0152: ORACLE may not be functioning properly
    I have only found a couple of references to these errors, suggesting that the ORACLE_HOME path must not contain a \ backslash at the end of the path. But this is not the problem.
    I even tried refreshing permissions to the registry itself, but that didn't help. I'm really not sure at what point the client is not working, so I'm having trouble debugging.
    Any suggestions?

    We have run across this problem as well and granting 'Create Global Objects' solves it. However, our Windows administrators are resisting implementing it on production servers, saying it's potential security risk.
    Has anyone run across this resistance in their shops and been able to overcome it? I can't find any good documentation that will allay the fears of the Windows groups. Their resisting this change is holding up a project.
    Thanks,
    Paul

  • Running Oracle 9i client code against an Oracle 10g install on PC

    On Unix I am able to run Oracle 9i client code against an Oracle 10g install by setting ORACLE_HOME to the Oracle 10g install location and then creating a symbolic link (example: ln -fs libclntsh.so.10.1 libclntsh.so.9.0).
    On PC (in particular XP SP2) I want to do something similar without using "junctions" or "junction points". Is there a way to set an environment variable or ini file to have my 9i client code point to the right libraries? I keep getting an error saying that my client code will not run due to "orasql9.dll" not being found. The "orasql10.dll" is installed on my machine.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    You might want to check metalink doc,
    Client / Server / Interoperability Support Between Different Oracle Versions
    Doc ID: Note:207303.1
    Even your application built on 9i, doesn't mean it will not work with 10g database. From what I can see, running 9i executable under 10g installation to create mixed blood breed will do more harm than good. Not only it's not supported but also the outcome is unpredictable.

  • Differences between Oracle 10G Client ODBC from 10.1.x to 10.2.x (datatype)

    What differences where implemented to Oracle 10G Clients ODBC connectivity drivers between 10G Release 1 and Release 2 concerning datatypes?
    I have an application that performs a qualified read returning a group of records (this is successful) and then performs a delete on each record read. No errors occur on completion of the application. When using release 1, the records are physically removed. Using release 2 a portion of the same group of records are not removed. The key for the table is a numeric field with six decimal places (not my design). My applications C code defines the field as a DOUBLE.

    I certainly agree that something changed. The question is whether it was a change in function or not. With a lot of these sorts of errors, tracking down the "source" of the error involves finding a change in a piece of code that allowed what was always possible to actually occur. That is, you may have two pieces of code that are functionally identical but that end up allowing the sorts of "round off" errors that are always possible when using doubles. The driver might, for example, now be going down a code path where it shifts a number to the right or left rather than dividing or multiplying by 2, which may make this sort of thing more likely. Functionally, given that doubles don't guarantee infinite precision, these operations are identical, but one may be significantly more likely to cause problems.
    Is your application using the ODBC API directly? Or is it going through a higher-level API? If you are going through ODBC directly, you might look to see whether the data types that are being returned by the driver to your code are the same across driver versions.

  • Oracle 10g Client and ODAC Side-By-Side

    Hi there, I was unable to find an answer to my query by using search, but apologies if this is a double-post.
    I'm having some issues with a ASP.NET application running on a Windows XP Pro machine. The machine has Oracle 10g client installed (oraClient10g_home1), and also ODAC (ODACHome2).
    The part of my web application that accesses our Oracle DB (10g), always gets a ORA-12154 error when it tries to connect, but SQL*Plus and tnsping for this TNS both work on the machine.
    When I use tnsping from the command line it looks like its using parameter files from the ODAC home, rather than the 10g client home.
    On my development machine (where ODAC is not installed), the application works fine.
    Does anyone have any idea if there are any issues having both of these clients installed?
    Or otherwise where my problem could be?
    Thanks very much in advance,
    James Simm

    Thanks for the link, however it hasn't solved my issues:
    The version of ODP.Net installed is 10.2.0.2.20, and the Oracle Client is 10.2, so according to that link it should be able to automatically switch between Oracle Homes.
    The application I'm troubleshooting doesn't actually use ODP.Net, it uses System.Data.OracleClient, but ODP.Net is required for another application.
    I'm extremely stuck, as I cannot understand why I'm getting ORA-12154 when every other Oracle application on the machine can access it.
    Please let me know if there are any other things I can try, or if you need any information from me?
    Thanks in advance,

  • (again) oracle 10g client and oracle 10g express in one computer

    hi again, sorry if this question looks like a double post to you.
    Well this is quite embarassing yet still make some headache for me. I have my office PC installed with Oracle 10g client using admin component option, for connecting some application with database on remote server. Now, after I have developed some basic map using Oracle 10g Express on my home PC, I want to test it in my office network. But everytime I tried to install Oracle Express, it web interface will working normally while all other aplication can no longer connected with remote server from the client. If I remove Oracle Express, all client connection will working again as if nothing happened. I already created Microsoft LoopBack connection using IP 10.10.10.10, edit TNSNAMES.ORA, etc that could possibly helpful but nothing fixed. Strangely, if I install Oracle 10g Database version, all connection to remote server working again, and map application also working. But this kind of installation takes up all my PC resources (grrrr!). Any more suggestion?
    best regards
    net2surfin

    I'm sorry if the information not accurate, but the client connection made by application which try to connect is simply "not resolved" and show no error code/number at all. I'll try to connect from sqlplus though, maybe the error number will be known from this way.
    About 10.10.10.10 tcp loopback, I got this work around from here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b14316/reqs.htm#BABGCEAI
    in the Ora Database Preinstallation requirement, where it states like this:
    +16.In the Properties dialog box, click Use the following IP address and do the following:+
    a.IP Address: Enter a non-routable IP for the loopback adapter. Oracle recommends the following non-routable addresses:
    +■192.168.x.x (x is any value between 0 and 255)+
    +■10.10.10.10+ <---- this is the value suggested that I've been used in my home PC
    b.Subnet mask: Enter 255.255.255.0.
    c.Record the values you entered, which you will need later in this procedure.
    d.Leave all other fields empty.
    e.Click OK.
    I'll try to remove the loopback later and see the ORA environment, to see the result. In the mean time, all suggestions is highly appreciated.
    thank you n best regards
