Can I install Oracle XE on a system that has the Instant Client installed?

Hello,
After installing Oracle XE (Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2 for Windows x64) on my Windows 8.1 64-bit system, I can not connect to the "Get started" url (http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950).
The output of "Start database" shows:
The OracleXETNSListener-service is being started.
The OracleServiceXE-service is being started.
The OracleServiceXE-service has been started.
The OracleXETNSListener service refuses to start. Could the presence of the Instant Client have something to do with this?
The Instant Client is installed in C:\Apps\Oracle, with a tnsnames.ora in C:\Apps\Oracle\network\admin.
Oracle XE is installed in C:\Apps\OracleXE.
There is a system wide environment variable ORACLE_HOME, pointing to C:\Apps\Oracle.
In the registry under HKLM\Oracle there are keys KEY_odac, KEY_ORACLE_HOME, KEY_XE, ODP.NET and OracleMTSRecoveryService.
HKLM\Oracle\KEY_ORACLE_HOME\ORACLE_HOME = C:\Apps\Oracle
HKLM\Oracle\KEY_XE\ORACLE_HOME = C:\Apps\OracleXE\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server
Thanks,
George

XE was the last installed Oracle product. I installed it on my development laptop, so I can use an Oracle database when not connected to the company network.
The instant client was broken by the XE install. Uninstalling Xe fixes this, even without a reboot.
The output of tnsping is:

Oracle Express 11g and Instant Client

I installed Oracle Express 11g on a Win 7 32 bit machine.
I verified from another machine I could connect to this instance using SqlPlus.
On a different Win 7 32 bit machine I downloaded and installed instant client.
I'm unable to connect to the Oracle Express 11g instance.
Firewall is turned off and User Account Control is set as low as it will go.
I set the PATH as it tells you too.
I did create a TNS_ADMIN pointing to tnsnames file I'm using.
But when I try connecting in SqlPlus using 'system @ dbname' I keep getting the following error message:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
I'm out of options.

Upgrade Oracle Patches

Hi Markus and ALL,
My Production Server consists on DB(Central instance) and APP(Dialog instance) servers on different machine. I have patched 10.2.0.2 on DB Server. i faced error (OCL.DLL file is using another person) during patching and tell me it is compulsory to patched on APP servers if yes then what are the Prerequisites for patching on Application Server.
regards,
majamil

The Patch comes with a README file, read it and follow it. It´s not enough to "just install" the patch, you need to run some SQL scripts after the patch was installed.

Oracle Dev Tools 10.1.0.4 and R2 Client

Hi,
I have installed the 10gR2 Client (including 10.2 ODP.NET).
Now I want the Dev Tools but the only version available is 10.1.0.4. If I choose the same oracle home, OUI will reinstall ODP.NET 10.1.0.4 and other older files...
Do I have to wait for Dev Tools 10.2 ?? If not, how could I install it without have two version of client and ODP.NET ?
Thx

Hi,
If you want to use the 10G Release 2 client with ODT you will need to wait for the next release which is due before the end of the year. As you noted, your other option is to use the 10.1.0.x client / ODT / ODP.NET installation.

Toad with Oracle Instant Client 10.2.0.1.0(not able to locate tnsnames.ora

Hi,
I have both Oracle Client 9.2 and Instant Client 10.2.0.1.0 on my laptop. How to make Toad 8.5.1 locate tnsnames.ora file for instant client.
When I open Toad, and selects "Instant Client 10.2.0.1.0" as installed client, it shows the error message "tnsnames.ora not found!"
Below is the setting:
Instant Client - 10.2.0.1.0
ORACLE_HOME_NAME: C:\Program Files\PHP\
ORACLE_HOME: C:\Program Files\PHP\
ORACLE_SID:
NLS_LANG:
SQLPATH:
LOCAL:
C:\Program Files\PHP\ exists.
C:\Program Files\PHP\ is in PATH.
Client DLL: C:\Program Files\PHP\oci.dll
Client Version: 10.2.0.1.0
Home is valid.
Thanks
Ashutosh

Sal, your comment is pretty irrelevant to the question :^)
user570251, since you are restricted to using Windows, it will not be easy for you to use two different Oracle clients on the same machine.
Basically, you'll have to change TNS_ADMIN whenever you want to change between clients.
Why do you need two client versions on your computer?

Laurenz Albe

Triying to intall oracle instant client

Hi Buddies;
I have to install oracle instant client in linux5 Red hat Enterprise.
I got to create the next:
Instant Client Package - Basic and Instant Client Package - SQL*Plus unzip it and make sqlplus runnable from anywhere ( set new PATH or copy to defined PATH) and test SQLPLUS sqlplus user/passwd@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(Host=IP or hostname)(Port=port))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=sid)))
Is the first time I doing this; So I proceed to download the following files:
instantclient-basic-linux32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip
oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.3-1.i386.rpm
I unzipped the firt one and now I got a new directory (instantclient_10_2) whi these files:
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 72480394 Nov 15 2006 libociei.so
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 67053 Nov 15 2006 genezi
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 5486009 Nov 15 2006 libnnz10.so
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 1398088 Nov 15 2006 libocci.so.10.1
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 18825267 Nov 15 2006 libclntsh.so.10.1
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 1600090 Nov 15 2006 classes12.jar
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 1545954 Nov 15 2006 ojdbc14.jar
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 120135 Nov 15 2006 libocijdbc10.so
My doubt is, which of them to execute?
And what I have to do with file oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.3-1.i386.rpm?
Besides, I don't see anything related with sqlplus, and I understand I need that.
May be this is something simple, but I not sure what to do.
Could somebody help me ?
Thanks and best Regards;
Al

At first try to check the Instant Client download page again: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/linuxsoft.html
As you can see there are several categories of packages and description for these packages.
Instant Client Package - Basic: All files required to run OCI, OCCI, and JDBC-OCI applications
Instant Client Package - Basic Lite: Smaller version of the Basic, with only English error messages and Unicode, ASCII, and
Instant Client Package - JDBC Supplement: Additional support for XA, Internationalization, and RowSet operations under JDBC
Instant Client Package - SQL*Plus: Additional libraries and executable for running SQL*Plus with Instant Client
Instant Client Package - SDK: Additional header files and an example makefile for developing Oracle applications with Instant
Instant Client Package - ODBC: Additional libraries for enabling ODBC applications
Instant Client Package - WRC: Workload Replay Client used to replay workload for RAT's DB Replay Feature
You need to download those packages which are required for your application (for example).
Packages are provided in two versions. ZIP and RPM (for Redhat Package Manager).
You don't need to download both of versions. You can choose only one - ZIP or RPM, it depends on you.
Now you said, you need to use SQLPLUS.
1.So, you need to download these two packages (assume that you are running 32bit Linux):
instantclient-basic-linux32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip
instantclient-sqlplus-linux32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip2. Unzip these packages and you will see new directory named instantclient_10_2
3. Place this directory where you want (i.e to /opt directory)
mv instantclient_10_2 /opt/4. set the environment (still using /opt directory)
export PATH=/opt/instantclient_10_2:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/instantclient_10_2Note: To make this settings permanent put this commands to shell profile file (i.e.: For bash it is .bash_profile file) in user's directory or to /etc/profile file to make this settings global for any user.
5. Tnsnames file. By default TNS settings is searched in these directories and in order as follows:
/home/<current user>/.tnsnames.ora (Note the dot in .tnsnames.ora in this case)
/etc/tnsnames.ora
/<path to directory where the instant client directory is located>/instantclient_10_2/network/admin/tnsnames.ora (in our case it's the /opt directory)
Hope that helps.

Collision of Instant Client with other Clients (by registry key ORACLE)

Hello,
i'm trying to use Instant Client Basic Lite and Instant Client sqlplus on my Windows XP to connect to Oracle server.
Client files and sqlplus files are in the same directory. I also have installed client 8, 9i 10g and database xe on my PC.
If I try to start sqlplus I receive following errors:
c:\a\-e>sqlplus ntpl/[email protected]:1522/xe
SP2-1503: Unable to initialize Oracle call interface
SP2-0152: ORACLE may not be functioning properly
But if I rename regitry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORACLE to HKLM\SOFTWARE\-ORACLE
it works fine. It seems there is a collision with registry values.
I have already tried to set:
set nls_lang=AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8
but it haven't helped.
Could you help me please?
Thank you very much
Viktor

As far as I know, Instant Client does not use the Windows registry at all.
Is there a chance that you accidentally use the other client?
Which access method do you use? sqlplus? Some API? Which API?
Are both clients in your PATH? In which order?
It's really difficult to sort out problems with multiple Oracle clients on
one Windows machine. I had to resort to Process Monitor in one instance
to figure out what was really going on.
Yours,
Laurenz Albe

11g Instant Client Oracle.DataAccess 2.111.6.20 vs Full Client 2.111.6.0

My .NET app was developed on a computer where 11g Instant Client Oracle.DataAccess 2.111.6.20 was installed. I copied the application code to another computer where the 11g Full Client Oracle.DataAccess 2.111.6.0 was installed. When I tried to run it I get the following error:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.TypeIntializationException' occured in System.dll
The type initializer for 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection' threw and exception
My .NET app requires the use of sqlldr which does not come with 11g Instant Client so I'm trying to get it to run on another computer with the 11g Full Client which includes sqlldr.
The appilcation was built referencing the Oracle.DataAccess 2.111.6.20 on the computer with 11g Instant Client but the app needs to run on a computer where sqlldr is installed which is on another computer with 11g Full Client Oracle.DataAccess 2.111.6.0.
Am I going to have to install the 11g Full Client Oracle.DataAccess 2.111.6.0 on the development computer to get the app to work or what?

Thanks Mark
The 2.111.6.20 version is already on our production server so I can't replace it. The app that uses sqllder ony runs two weeks out of a year so I'm thinking that I can set up another dev computer(dev2) with the full client and run the app from there. I may try installing both clients but I'm not sure how that will work out yet. I'm still looking into deploying 2.111.6.20 from dev to dev2 like the option 1 you suggested but coping the file from the GAC of dev to dev2 is more involved than I expected. I'm also trying to get the development tools VS2008 installed on dev2 to try option 2 as you suggested.
Configuration
dev 11g Instant Client Oracle.DataAccess 2.111.6.20
prod 11g Instant Client Oracle.DataAccess 2.111.6.20
dev2 11g Full Client Oracle.DataAccess 2.111.6.0
Thank you,

System Core Dumped after Oracle patch upgrade 9.2.0.6 to 9.2.0.8

Hi,
We are continously getting dumps on our BW Central instance server after we did an Oracle patch upgrade from 9.2.0.6 to 9.2.0.8.
Following is our system environment
SAP Release.............. "640"
Application server....... "abci"
Operating system......... "SunOS"
Release.................. "5.10"
Hardware type............ "sun4v"
Database server.......... "abdb"
Database type............ "ORACLE"
Database name............ "ABP"
Database owner........... "SAPABP"
SAP kernel............... "640"
Database version......... "OCI_920 "
Patch level.............. "175"
Following below is the Core Dump that is generated for any process chains that we schedule on our BW server
Runtime Errors         SYSTEM_CORE_DUMPED
Date and Time          14.04.2008 09:26:17
ShrtText
     Process terminated by signal 11.
What happened?
    The current ABAP program had to be terminated because the
    ABAP processor detected an internal system error.
    The current ABAP program "SAPMSSY2" had to be terminated because the ABAP
    processor discovered an invalid system state.
What can you do?
    Make a note of the actions and input which caused the error.
    To resolve the problem, contact your SAP system administrator.
    You can use transaction ST22 (ABAP Dump Analysis) to view and administer
    termination messages, especially those beyond their normal deletion
    date.
Error analysis
    An SAP System process was terminated by an operating system signal.
    Possible reasons for this are:
    1. Internal SAP System error.
    2. Process was terminated externally (by the system administrator).
               Last error logged in SAP kernel
    Component............ "Taskhandler"
    Place................ "SAP-Server awci_ABP_00 on host awci (wp 5)"
    Version.............. 1
    Error code........... 11
    Error text........... "ThSigHandler: signal"
    Description.......... " "
    System call.......... " "
    Module............... "thxxhead.c"
    Line................. 9780
How to correct the error
    The SAP System work directory (e.g. /usr/sap/c11/D00/work ) often
    contains a file called 'core'.
    Save this file under another name.
    If you cannot solve the problem yourself and you wish to send
    an error message to SAP, include the following documents:
    1. A printout of the problem description (short dump)
       To obtain this, select in the current display "System->List->
       Save->Local File (unconverted)".
    2. A suitable printout of the system log
       To obtain this, call the system log through transaction SM21.
       Limit the time interval to 10 minutes before and 5 minutes
       after the short dump. In the display, then select the function
       "System->List->Save->Local File (unconverted)".
    3. If the programs are your own programs or modified SAP programs,
       supply the source code.
       To do this, select the Editor function "Further Utilities->
       Upload/Download->Download".
    4. Details regarding the conditions under which the error occurred
       or which actions and input led to the error.
Kindly help.
Regards
Sachin
Edited by: Sachin N on Apr 14, 2008 12:26 PM

No. If the environment would be wrong the system wouldn´t start up.
Core dumps are in 99 % of the cases program errors (in the SAP kernel or in an interface (libdbora*)), misaligend accesses of data etc.
If you encounter such an error have a look in the C-Stack. If you can´t see where the error is happening opening an OSS call. Most of those errors are fixed by installing the latest patches for the kernel and the database interface.
