To Find the version of Oracle Instant Client in SAP

Hi,
I am a newbie in SAP with oracle. I have planned to upgrade the Oracle Instant Client Version in our systems.
The following is our system specificatiosn:
SAP : ECC6.0
Database : Oracle 10204
OS : HP-UX 11.23 ia64
I have the following observations with respect to finding the version of the Oracle Instant client in SAP.
a) As per the SAP note : 819829, the version of the Oracle client can be found using the command "genezi-v" under the path
genezi -v
Client Shared Library 64-bit - 10.2.0.4.0
System name:    HP-UX
Release:        B.11.23
Version:        U
Machine:        ia64
b) From the SAPGUI, I have found the version of the DB Client library as OCI_102 (10.2.0.1.0).
Following are my queries:
1) Which of the above methods can be considered to find the correct version of Oracle Instant client in SAP?
2) If the method b gives the correrct version --> Where does this value is picked up from OS level?
with regards,
Arul

Hello Arul,
just look at a work process trace file .. you will find a section like this while starting SAP or restarting the work process.
Loading DB library '/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run/dboraslib.o' ...
Library '/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run/dboraslib.o' loaded
Version of '/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run/dboraslib.o' is "700.08", patchlevel (0.110)
Got LIBPATH=/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run:/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run:/opt/kerberos/lib:/oracle/client/10x_64/i
Oracle Client Version: '10.2.0.4.0', (dbsl 701 140910)
There you can find the actual used client version ... also SAP delivers a file called SAPIC_README in the oracle client directory, which gives you information about the client version and its applied patches.
Regards
Stefan

Make sure that you have only one Oracle Client on the client machine.
Delete/uninstall all others. Best uninstall all Oracle Software on that machine and reinstall one client.
Before you try to connect from a PHP script, try to connect with sqlplus. If that works, proceed.
The PHP you use must compiled and linked against the Oracle client version you use, else it won't work.
Now try again. If you still get the same errors, post the error messages and relevant parts of the PHP script.
Be aware that this forum is for Instant Client, so there might be better forums for PHP questions.

Solaris PHP 5.2.12 Oracle Instant Client Error

We are testing a Oracle Solaris Express 11 Server with the standard Apache and PHP installation. But we need the Oracle Instant client and the oci8 module enabled for our company applications.
We did this by using ./pecl install oci8 in /usr/php/5.2/bin. We set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in /etc/apache2/2.2/envvars
a 32bits solaris (x86) version of the Oracle Instant Client 11.2 is installed in /opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2 with the symbolic link made.
envvars:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2
ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2
ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2
he oci8 module installed and php loads it.
phpinfo(); output:
oci8
OCI8 Support enabled
Version 1.4.6
Revision $Revision: 313688 $
Active Persistent Connections 0
Active Connections 0
Oracle Run-time Client Library Version 11.2.0.2.0
Oracle Instant Client Version 11.2
Temporary Lob support enabled
When we first view a site there is no problem but very randomly we get the following error:
OCIEnvNlsCreate() failed. There is something wrong with your system - please check that LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes the directory with Oracle Instant Client libraries*
but when we use echo getenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH"); in php the output is "/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2"
now the strange this is as randomly as it appears it disappears we can load the web-page without problems and after a couple of clicks the error is back. if we wait a coupe of seconds you can reload the page and it loads normaly.
The error appears to be random and we get it over and over agian, it comes and goes after a cpl of pages are viewed. It seems to appear more when there are multiple users browsing on the website.
Is there a fix for this? is this an known bug? It seems strange the instant client works some times and fails a second later without a change in the system.
Hope someone can help us.

Solved it by compiling apache 2.2.20 into 64bits using:
CFLAGS="-m64" CXXFLAGS="-m64" LDFLAGS="-m64" ./configure enable-so enable-cgi enable-info enable-rewrite enable-deflate enable-ssl
and compiling php 5.3.8 into 64bits:
CFLAGS="-m64" CXXFLAGS="-m64" LDFLAGS="-m64" ./configure with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs with-gd with-zlib disable-ipv6 with-jpeg-dir=/usr/ with-png-dir=/usr/ with-freetype-dir=/usr/ with-pear with-openssl with-oci8=instantclient,/opt/oracle/instantclient_10_2
and using the 10.2.0.4 instant client.
there might be a bug in the 11.x ones, they dont seem to work on Oracle Solaris 11.

TOAD 8.5 with Oracle Instant Client 10: ORA-03134

Hi,
I have tried TOAD 8.5.0.50 and also TOra 1.3.16 to connect to the database via Oracle Instant Client 10, but I am restricted with this error message:
"ORA-03134: Connections to this server version are no longer supported."
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong? Earlier version of TOAD works alright. We are using Oracle 8i. Are there any compatibility issues between Oracle database version with Oracle Instant Client version?
Thanks.

Just want to share with everyone. This is a reply that I got from another forum:
this is a oracle bug!
connections with the 10g client are supported to 8.1.7.0 and above.
the bug in the client causes this error.
you are only able to connect to 8.1.7.4 and above.
i made a service request but oracle is not able to patch the
instant client.
you have to use 10.1.0.3 client or above
Regards.

Your PATH includes "C:\instantclient_11_2;O:\ora11202". This hints that you have multiple versions of Oracle installed, which is common cause of issues.
Do you need Instant Client? If you already have an Oracle DB you don't really need Instant Client unless you have a particular version requirement.

ODBC Error: Could't find Oracle Instant Client in present directory.

I am getting the following error when I try to run odbc_install.exe with the Oracle 10g Instant Client Lite version 2:
Could't find Oracle Instant Client in present directory.
The 10g Instant Client Lite version (including the missing MFC71.DLL and MSVCR71.DLL files) is in the directory. What am I missing here??

Can you detail your configuration? What files are in the directories? Environment variables?

'The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client' exceptio

Hi
I installed ODAC-11.1.0.7.10 Beta on my development system and developed a .net application which uses Oracle.DataAccess.dll to connect to Oracle10g database.
the application is working fine, means opening connection successfully when I run it from my development system. but the same application is throwing
'The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client' exception when I run it on my 10g database server system.
what I need to do to run the application successfully on the machine where 10g server exists?
any help is appreciated.
thanks,
harry

Hi Harry,
I am not sure why you installed 11.1.0.7.10 Beta as 11.1.0.7.20 has been released and you should not be using the beta at this time. That error message is because the dependencies being loaded by the process are the wrong version. When you deploy an ODP .NET application using 11.1.7.x, you need to make sure you deploy it to a machine where the 11.1.0.7.x dependencies are installed. My guess is if I read your poat correctly is that Oracle.DataAccess.dll version 11.1 is loaded but its finding 10.2 dependencies on the target deployment box.

The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client... again!

Please, please, please help me!
I get the error, "The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client", intermittently on my Test Server. Strangely, without restarting the server or IIS, my application suddenly decides that I don't have the right Oracle client. I don't have any such issue on my local machine even though I'm using the same Oracle 11g client from Beta 1.
I have Oracle 11g (D:\Oracle11g\product\11.1.0) installed. I tried specifying which assembly to use in my web.config:
<compilation debug="true" defaultLanguage="c#">
<assemblies>
<add assembly="Oracle.DataAccess, Version=2.111.5.10, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342" />
</assemblies>
</compilation>
I'm not even trying to use a 10g client with the Providers as discussed here: "The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client"
What I don't understand is why this error comes and goes?!?! Has anyone experienced anything like this?

The server is Win 2003. The local development machine is WinXP.
...I was trying to wait to install Beta 2 because of the nasty bugs reported on this forum.
I'm now seeing that ORACLE_HOME wasn't set on my server because my co-worker removed the path. Somehow it was able to find an Oracle Home on the server, but apparently, it didn't always find the same home causing this error intermittently.
Now, my question is how can I get my application to use the 11g Client as its Oracle Home, while my co-worker can use 10g Client as his Oracle Home? To be a bit more specific, he needs to use an ODBC client to connect because his application uses Classic ASP.
Is this possible, or are we going to have to set up separate machines?

Hi,
Often the error "The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client" is raised when the unmanaged dll OraOpsX.dll can't be found, can't be loaded, or is the wrong version. For version 10.2.0.x of ODP.NET and .NET Framework 2.x the file should be called "OraOps10w.dll" and should be found in the %ORACLE_HOME%\bin directory.
Since the ODAC pieces are installed on the same host as the database, are they in a separate Oracle Home or the same Oracle Home as the database software? If there are multiple Oracle Home directories, which one is in the system path first?
I would start with verifying the version of OraOps10w.dll and the system path on the server. You might also confirm that the Oracle Home directory (and everything under it) has the following permissions for Authenticated Users:
- Read & Execute
- List folder contents
- Read
Regards,
Mark

The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client

We are running Server 2012 64 bit with multiple homes one is 32 bit and the other 64 bit. We installed the 64 bit first then the 32 bit next in order to get our Classic ASP WebSite that is using COM+ and OLEDB to see the provider.
C:\oracle\product\12.1.0\x86
C:\oracle\product\12.1.0\x64
The other Websites are ASP.Net 4.0 and are running in 64 bit application pools. They are using a DAL .Net assembly built x64 with a reference to the 64 bit ODP.Net version 4.121.1.0 in C:\oracle\product\12.1.0\X64\client_1\odp.net\bin\4.
I also see there is another folder C:\oracle\product\12.1.0\X64\odac_1\odp.net\bin\2.x with version 2.121.2.0. We are on running Framework 4.0 but when I switch to this version it works but with the version out of the bid\4 we are receiving the following error when the 64 bit Websites call the assembly:
The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

I have not been successful in getting this to work after spending endless hours, so any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Oracle Client/ODP build with certified Visual C++ Libraries so application using ODP.NET requires "runtime components of Visual C++ Libraries" to be installed.
Oracle Database Client installation includes the Visual C++ Libraries but ODAC doesn't contain these libraries which may cause such issue.
Please check the Note 43208.1 for the particular version of Visual C++ installs with Oracle Database Client installation(e.g. 11.2.0 Database Client installs Visual C++ .NET 2005) and also you can refer the windows event log error massage to verify which version of Visual C++ is missing.
thanks and regards

Another: The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client

Hi everybody,
We still have problems with the ODP dll. with our .Net development. I copied all the dlls as mentioned here: [http://splinter.com.au/blog/?p=156] and in many other posts here in the forum. The .Net development works fine on our Development PCs (WIN XP32) and on many other PCs in the company. But we still have some PCs (As well WIN XP32) that come up with the Error: The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client.
Has anyone an idea???
Thanks a lot for your help
Best Jan

Hi Jan,
If there has never been any Oracle Client software installed on the machines, it seems unlikely that there would be Oracle policy files and version(s) of Oracle.DataAccess in the GAC. But, yes, the CLR will look to the GAC first for loading the Oracle.DataAccess assembly. I'm not sure what Framework or Domain setting would be involved here if there is no Oracle client installed. Are the machines configured the same as far as Regional/Language settings, etc?
One thing you might be able to try is to create an application configuration file and enable ODP.NET trace in the file. This is an ODP.NET 11.1 new feature. However, it's possible the error will prevent the trace file from being created. You would create a file named YourApplicationName.exe.config and here is a sample of the minimum content to enable ODP.NET trace:
{noformat}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<oracle.dataaccess.client>
   <settings>
     <add name="TraceFileName" value="c:\odpnet2.trc"/>
     <add name="TraceLevel" value="1"/>
   </settings>
</oracle.dataaccess.client>
</configuration>
{noformat}
I wish I had an easy answer for you!

'The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client error' popping up randomly

I have several asp.net pages running on an application server which generally work without issue. However I've had the Server error "The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client error" crop up twice seemingly randomly that affects all of my pages that interact with the DB server. A simple reboot of the application server solves the issue and the pages run again with no problems. What could be causing this problem?

Sorry if I wasn't clear initially. Basically I've got 2 different applications in 2 different IIS folders on the webserver, each with several asp.net pages. They work fine for a period of time and then inexplicably that error gets thrown and affects all of my asp.net pages in both applications. The admin tells me that the other older applications on the same server are unaffected. A simple reboot of the server fixes the issue until the next time it happens (I can't identify any consistent point where this crash happens, the admin originally suggested that there might be something in my code causing a memory issue). I had the same applications hosted on my local machine for a time and this never happened as well as it never happening when I run them in localhost. How can I trace whether or not another part of my application is trying to load ODP.NET by itself? How can I verify the DLL search order for my application?

CR 2008 and ODBC connection using Oracle Instant Client driver?

Two questions.
I'm creating CR 2008 report using an ODBC connection. The ODBC driver is the Oracle Instant Client (version 10.2, I think.)
When I define the connection, I see only a few tables. I do not see the Tables, Views, Qualifiers tree that I see with a normal Oracle Server connection.
Does anybody know why this happens? Is there a CR ODBC driver that works better?
Second question: I have a .NET application that is pointing the report to another Oracle DB. In my db, table names are not unique -- each user has the same set of tables. I find that when the .net applciation sets the datasource, I get connected to the first table with a given name; I do not get the table scoped by the logon user.
In the .net application, how do I scope the table name to a particular user.
Any info helps. Thanks.

Answer 2: If you are using RAS SDK only then you would be able to change table name. Please let us know if you are using RAS.
If you are using RAS with Java please post your query in the Java forum else if you are using Visual Studio/.NET then please post your question in .NET Forum.
Please update with the results.
Thanks!
