Suggestions for the Oracle Developer Tools for VS2005

I'd like to start a thread for constructive feedback of the Beta version of these Oracle Developer Tools for VS2005.
First off, check the known issues here before posting:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/dotnet/odt10202rn.html
So, here are my issues:
- In the Oracle Explorer, when you right click on a large table and click "Retrieve Data..." it hangs the IDE until an apparent timeout value of 30 seconds, then shows a message box stating that "The query is taking a long time. Would you like to continue" ...waiting? I think the better approach here is to follow MS. In Menu Tools -> Options -> Database Tools -> DataConnections, there is a setting to limit SQL results to x number of rows. I think ODT should do one of the following. 1. Read this value and apply it. OR 2. Hardcode a value of 100 - 500 rows. 3. Add a setting similar to MS in the Options...
- In the Oracle Explorer, when you right-click on a view and click "Design..." the code for the view opens, but is not very readable because the line breaks are interpreted a little boxes. After dumping it into a hex editor, you can see the little box characters are Linefeeds (Char(10)). If these are all replaced with Carriage Return+Linefeed (Chr(13) + Char(10)), and pasted back into the editor in VS2005, it works perfectly. Note: My Oracle 9i Server is running on the Linux platform.
- I know this is a known issue, but this one's a biggie for me. Drag and drop is not supported from Oracle Explorer to the XML Schema Designer. Will Drag-and-Drop of tables generate TableAdapters as well with the Fill methods?
- Pre-existing Triggers don't seem to be visible in the Oracle Explorer.
Thanks,
-Tony

Hi
I am new to Oracle but not to VS. I have downloaded and installed the newest tools for Developer, having first tried the install for VS2003.net (which refused to install on my VS 2005.) I got the beta download and installed it, but my oracle explorer shows nothing. Any attempt to add a connection results in an error ORA-12560:TNS:protocol adaptor error. I had the full install of 10g r2 on my notebook, but removed it and opted for the XE version. I removed the Oracle_Home environment variable prior to installing XE. I am trying to connect to the HR database, and the account is unlocked. I saw a reference to the tnsfiles file, and that seems to be the problem, but I don't know what to do about it. Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer help.

Connection Problem When Using Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio

I tried to create an Oracle Connection in my Visual Studio 2008 after installing Oracle 11g, Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) with Oracle Devleoper Tools for Vissual Studio version 11.1.0.6.20.
I followed the directions according to "Building .NET Applications Using Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio, when I click Test Connection, I keep getting the error message below.

I solved the problem.
This is what I did for the benefit of the embryonic newbe like me.
On the Add Connection Dialog
1.     For Data source name I selected Local Database
2.     I clicked on the specific User Name and I typed SYSTEM
3.     For Password, I typed orcl (the password I setup during the installation) (HR did not work for me for User name and Password according to the tutorial instructions)
4.     For Role, I selected Default
5.     Connection Name, I selected Local Database
6.     Before proceeding any further went to Windows XP SP3 where I was operating from, under Start Menu, I selected Administrative Tools then Services
a.     On the Windows Services (Local) Dialog, under name, I selected OracleServiceORCL and OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener. I clicked on them one at a time

What is the future for an Oracle Development tools?

I mean, Oracle Developer looks like Cobol 10 years ago. It is a tool, but it is hardly to support and learn. Many of pepole prefere non-Oracle tools now.
Do Oracle plane to desupport Developer, switch to JDeveloper or license a something from a Borland one more?
It can be able to develop on C++ or PL/SQL (Serverlets), but Visual Rapid tool is preferable.

I think that the only problem with Forms
are some "basic" bugs that Oracle spends
too much time to fix them. Except this,
Forms is the best tool to develop ERP
applications (database intensive). It just
happend yesterday in our company. We recently
participated in a competition to develop a
sales system, with reports, images, technical
data, etc. The team from USA with VB and
SQL Server spent 18 months developing the
system and we with Forms and Oracle DB spent
, believe it or not, 1 month with more
functionality, specially in queries and
much faster to execute. I agree that with VB
for example, we can create wonderful GUI
screens but to do so, we spend more time,
the system will be larger, difficult to
maintain (because of more code) and many
times, not reliable. Besides I have never
seen a tool where we can run without any
change in client/server or WEB. We have
compared Forms in the last 6 years with
many other tools like VB, VC, Gembase,
Fabasoft, Obsydian, Progress, etc. None of
them could surpass Forms in performance,
development time and application
functionality (transaction, database,
query, data secuity, etc). Even GUI is not
far from these tools. Sometimes portability
is much more important than GUI richness.
We use Forms since we had VAX/VMS and
we could move from this to Windows 3.11,
Windows NT and now WEB without any big
headache. About the learning curve, we have
3 students that were able to learn and be
productive with Forms in 2 months. Compared
with our older systems developed with COBOL
we are now 2 to 10 times faster to develop
and maintain applications, with much less
bugs. All because of application standards,
less code, standardized screens, object
classes, libraries and stored procedures.
The last tool comparison was with Java but
again, the programming effort to achieve
only half of the functionality that
our Forms applications have, was huge. Not
to mention that this Java application
required 70Mb of memory to execute against
22Mb from WEB Forms (client/server only
12Mb). Besides WEB Forms was 5 times faster
to execute when, for example, navigating in
a tabular block.

Suggest me the good binding tool for axis2

Dear Experts,
Please tell me which binding tool is good. Right now i am using axis2, rpc client for consuming my webservices. It is giving some problem when passing hibernate beans having one-many mappings as objects. for ADB it is working fine. JiBX is giving problem when compiling it self.
Thanks
Ramesh

ADB is fast but the generated API is difficult to use. It's the default in Axis2. I prefer to use Apache Spring Beans since the API of the generated classes is much more elegant and easily understood.

Developer tools for Apps 11i

Hi,
I have recently installed Oracle Apps 11i on Oracle Linux. I am using this installation to learn about Oracle applications and in particular HRMS.
Now I would like to install the Oracle developer tools (Forms, Reports, SQLPLUS, etc) on a windows PC so that I can access the 11i installed database (I believe version 9i Oracle enterprise 9.2.0.6.0).
I have the following questions
1. Is there a single install that would install all the tools on the PC?
2. Since the database is 9.2.0.6.0, should i install the 9i version of the tools or should i go straight to 10g
3. Which tools should i be installing and is there a link for downloading them?
4. Do i need to install oracle client 9i?
5. Do i need to install anything on the server side (oracle linux) for the tools to work? and are there any links to installation instructions?
I have spent about 3 hours looking up information about what to install and with the different versions, etc it is a bit confusing.
I am not a dba, so my knowledge is not extensive.
Thanks in advance for your help
Steve

1. Is there a single install that would install all the tools on the PC?Oracle Developer 6i
2. Since the database is 9.2.0.6.0, should i install the 9i version of the tools or should i go straight to 10gYou are looking for a development tool, so you need to download/install Oracle Developer 6i (which has nothing to do with the database version).
3. Which tools should i be installing and is there a link for downloading them?Oracle Forms Developer/Services 6i Release 2 for Windows 98/NT/2000/XP
http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/forms/htdocs/winsoft.html
4. Do i need to install oracle client 9i?No.
5. Do i need to install anything on the server side (oracle linux) for the tools to work? and are there any links to installation instructions?You need to register your host through OAM or disable the SQLNet restriction so that you can connect to the database. Check the following note for more details:

Unable to sign up for any Oracle Develop sessions at OOW 2006

Has anyone with a full conference pass been able to sign up for the Oracle Develop Sessions through the Schedule Builder tool? I talked to a customer service rep a couple weeks ago, and she said there was a problem with their Schedule Builder tool and thought it would be fixed later that day, but I still can't get any OD sessions to show up.
thanks

Tns problem with Oracle 11g ODAC 11.1.0.6.21 with Oracle Developer Tools

I installed the full
Oracle 11g ODAC 11.1.0.6.21 with Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio
now I am at the good old "[ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified]" error.
I copied the same tnsnames.ora as used on the db server
onto the client "C:\Oracle\product\11.1.0\client_2\Network\Admin".
The host name is right since a normal ping works. TNSping is not available.
but I get the [ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified] error.
The listener is running and the instance as well since it all works on the source server.
I tried it with
SET path=c:\oracle\product\11.1.0\client_2\bin
but tnsping is still not recognized.
sqlplus works on the other hand when I set it to
SET path=c:\oracle\product\11.1.0\client_2\
what is going on...

hey
u can post your query here, and i think everyone here is to share opinion so do not hesitate to do so and please try to google before posting here,
and we know no one is expert like some people saying 'boring questions' you just try to overcome your problem and you will definitly get your problem solved .
some mpeople ar still there who answeres hopeless questions and say nothing about them but when a fresher askin a qustion is not tolarated by them they think everyone is born DBA here
they always tend to discouraging people here on forums,and i think they are vvolunteers to reduce crowd here on forums, inspite of there experience and people respect them they can not control their anger
so please post you tns here, i think there are ways to ask people to google and search docs first, but not like this
thanks and regards
VD

What are best free tools for a Oracle development DBA?

Hi, I have been production dba for years. I am familiar with full cycle of database installation, configure,backup recovery, etc.
Now my role is going to change to development dba soon. I have no problem to create instances. Then to the data modeling, data normalization, etc, what kind of tools I can use?
Any good suggestions or documents you can provide?
Thanks in advance.

The only good tools for normalizing your database are you own intelligence, knowledge, and experience. A great place to feed your knowledge and borrow someone else's experience is in Ken Down's blog, The Database Programmer.
As for PL/SQL development tools, try SDDM's older sister, SQL Developer.

Need the Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.3 for Windows XP & Windows 7

Hi All,
Need the Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.3 for Windows XP & Windows 7 for developing Custom Forms and Reports to be used in R12.1.3. Please provide a link from where I can down the same.
Thanks in Advance,
Kiran Panditi.

The base release is available here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/downloads/index.html
In order to get to 10.1.2.3, you must then install Patch ID 5983622
Installation on Windows 7 is only supported for Win7 (32bit) and requires special installation instructions found in MOS Note 1292919.1 . Not following these instructions will result in failure to install the product properly.

Development Tools for R12

Hi,
I am positive this has been answered before on Metalink but I can't seem to get the definitive answer from metalink nor can I find one in the Forums here. So, here is the question again.
We will be upgrading from 11.5.10 to R12.1.3 on Linux later this year. I am in the process of getting all the following development tools necessary for our R12 development on Windows clients. So, I need to install the appropriate patched versions of these dev tools on Windows 7/Windows XP machines to work with our Apps R12.1.3 going forward. Metalink suggested that I follow the link in note "437878.1 - Upgrading OracleAS 10g Forms and Reports in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12". I still could not understand whether I need to install Developer Suite 10.1.2 and apply the patch listed in the note or Install Oracle Application Server 10.1.2 (from OTN?) and apply the patch listed in the note to bring the tools up to 10.1.3 version. This is where my confusion lies. Again this is separate from the middle tier software for R12 - this is for client development that will then be FTPed to middle tier and compiled there/
1. Oracle Forms/Reports Builders - Do I download Developer Suite 10.1.2 or App Server 10.1.3?
2. Oracle BI Publisher - What version and where do I get this from?
3. Oracle JDeveloper for OA Framework - What version and where do I get this from (Metalink or OTN)
Thanks in advance for any leads or direction.

Venkat

Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse vs Eclipse tools for Oracle WebLogic

are these two plugins the same thing ?
Thanks
-Serge-

Thanks, I also got a response from Duncan Mills
" WebLogic comes with Workshop for WebLogic which is the BEA WorkShop (full edition) rebranded and with all the new features to support 10.3 of WebLogic.
The Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (OEPE) is a brand new and separate product that is being developed in parallel on an Eclipse 3.4 core from the ground up, pulling in the key open source projects that Oracle already works on for Eclipse (WTP / Dali) plus a bunch of the key stuff such as AppXRay and WebLogic tooling from the WorkShop product line.
You'll see some more detailed announcements on this very shortly.
Both OEPE and Workshop for WebLogic are free of course "

Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 10 Technical Preview

Hi, I've never developed a plugin for Office before. I've downloaded the technical preview of Windows 10 and have it running via Boot Camp on my MacBook (Looks good! I'll buy it when it comes out). Obviously with this being in beta it's understandable that
there are problems, so this is just a heads up on one particular problem. Maybe there's already a solution or workaround?
I've downloaded Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition, brought a copy of Microsoft Office Home And Student 2013 and am currently in the process of installing Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2013.
The only problem though is that when I try to install it I get the following message:
http://s22.postimg.org/dxh1gtra9/Install_Problem_Office_Plugin_Tools.png
Here is the log:
http://pastebin.com/7wWkSfjF
I also tried to download the file directly and run that.
http://s3.postimg.org/tj9vb660j/Install_Problem_Office_Plugin_Tools2.png
I right clicked on the file and noticed an options called "Troubleshoot Compatibility". There was a wizard, and I ran through the wizard a number of times through different routes but none of them worked. I was unable to find the option which turned
off compatibility mode. I then searched for answers online which told me to do some things in the regedit program but that didn't seem to solve the problem.
Anyway, I understand that this is a beta version of Windows 10 and that there are going to be problems but thought it would be best to let you know. Perhaps I should just bite the bullet and buy Windows 8.
Many thanks,
Lawrence

How to download and Install bos.loc.utf.EN_US Package for the Oracle BI locale setting english-usa language in Windows 7 64bit

OBIEE 11G Installation error during configuration steps with message "Distributing Repository" failed.
I searched lot of forums but all they say, install bos.loc.utf.EN_US Package for the Oracle BI locale setting english-usa language. From where we can download this package.
Thanks in advance.

But I am assuming that when I make the installer, the 32-bit Run Time Engine is appened with the installer, as show below
Since from the picture you can see its including the support installers from '\Program Files (x86)\'
The application runs queries to fetch data from database in SQL server 2008, and for that I am using a Microsoft SQL Native Client 2008 R2 64 bit ( this is the only version that installs on either PC, even the one on which I developed my LV Application).
I am not using any driver, only toolkits for reports - and for that I un-checked the "Remove unused polymorphic VI instances" when making the executable, otherwise LV throws up an exception that share variable are not being included.
Yes I did reboot every time after I ran the installation.
Still getting the same error.
