Use HS Generic Connectivity in Oracle Express (XE)

Can I use HS Generic Connectivity in Oracle Express (XE) or do I need a "full" database?

I see you've managed to get HS working on Oracle XE. I am trying to do the same, but am hitting a wall when trying to set the hs_fds_connect_info parameter in that Oracle does not seem to recognise it:-
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
ORA-32003: error occured processing parameter 'hs_fds_connect_info'
LRM-00101: unknown parameter name 'hs_fds_connect_info'
SQL> show parameter hs
NAME TYPE VALUE
hs_autoregister boolean TRUE
Is there anything I need to set elsewhere to enable this? Any help would be appreciated.

Generic connection to oracle

Hi !
I heard about a generic connection to oracle (with OCI ??). The user x connects himself to the serveur with a generic login and password. Then he's connected as "user x".
I'd like to know how does it work, and if it is possible to do audit trail with this type of connection.
Thanks.

Cannot connect to Oracle express database using Oracle forms 10 on win XP

Hello All,
I have installed Oracle Developer Suite 10g along with Oracle Express edition database on Windows XP home edition. (Do get successful installation message)
When i open up Forms builder and try to use connect option- it comes up with user name, password and database dialogue box?
If I enter user name and password I choose while installation express edition database it comes up with the following error:
"ORA-12560:TNS:protocol adapter error"
Have checked the services and they all seem to be running, have tried deinstalling/installing by removing registry values but still no luck.
In fact what ever I type the error message remains the same.
On the other hand I can access Express edition database using user name and password I choose during its installation.
Can any one please reply me what details i need to enter here? Is it same as I set up during express edition database installation? What about database?
Please help. As I am struggling big time.
Thanks in advance.

You may be having the same problem as this guy:
Forms 6i - ora-012203 tns:unable to connect to the destination
You need to start SQL Plus and see if you can log in, too, to make sure there are not other problems.
What are you using for the Database name (the third entry following username and password)?

Generic Connectivity from Oracle 10gR2 to SQL Server using ODBC

Hi,
I have setup an ODBC generic connection from an Oracle 10.2 database (on Win 2000) to a SQL Server database (on a different Windows machine). When I query a column which is of LONG data type (TEXT on SQL Server) my session just hangs, no data or errors are returned, trace file just ends showing the SQL statement I entered, but no errors.
If I query other columns with CHAR, DATE, NUMBER datatypes the rows are returned successfully. As far as I can see from the documentation, the TEXT data type in SQL Server should map to SQL_LONGVARCHAR in ODBC, then that should map to LONG in Oracle, so I wouldnt have thought it was an incompatible data mapping issue.
I hear that LONG is being replaced/deprecated in Oracle, but is it now not supported by the HS ODBC program provided with 10g Rel 2? Has anyone else had a similar problem and found a workaround? Any help is much appreciated.
Kieren.

Hi,
HSODBC is not supported on Windows x64. So that's why you get the error ORA-28545
What you can do is to install DG4ODBC 11g on a 32bit machine.
DG4ODBC can be installed separately from the Oracle Server, for example on the SQL SERVER if you can.
But it is supported only in 32 bit too.
You can download from this website:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle11g/111060_win32soft.html
==>Oracle Database Gateways 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.6.0) for Microsoft Windows (32-bit)
The last option would be to create a virtual machine on your X64 machine with a Windows 32bit and DG4ODBC 11g.
Please let me know if you have any question.
Regards,
Mireille

Oracle Generic Connectivity in Oracle Application Ser ver 10g.

Hi Tak and All!
With the help of your great guidence, I have connect the Generic Connectivty for MS Access and MS Excel successfully in client server environment.
The topology was..
Host A = Custom installation of Oracle9i database + MS ACCESS
Host B = Oracle 9i Database (Complete)
But...
tell me How the Oracle Generic Connectivity will connect in ORACLE APPLICATION SERVER. What will be the concept and topology? Because the client only have the URL which is used for getting application on browser.
I will be extremely thankful.
All these forums always help me.
Thanks
Rana Adnan

It depends. Oracle Reports can connect to Oracle and non-Oracle databases directly, without using Generic Connectivity.
Your Forms application would presumably connect only to the Oracle database. The Oracle database might well connect to other Oracle and non-Oracle databases via database links. The non-Oracle database links would utilize Generic Connectivity.
Given the three machines A, B, and C
A could connect to B and B could connect to C
A could connect to C for reporting queries

Note that this forum is for XE Beta, not EE.
Can you connect from some other client tool, such as sqlplus?
There's a {forum:id=178} forum that may be more suitable, if basic connectivity outside php works (i.e. issue is only php specific).

Find the hostname and service name of the database and use those values in the ORA_CON_DB constant.
Use 'lsnrctl status' on the database host to find the service name.
If you use a "tns" alias, you may need to create a tnsnames.ora file where PHP can access it.
Set the environment variable TNS_ADMIN (on Linux) to the directory containing the file.

Using Safari to connect to ORACLE forms

Hallo,
I want to test Safari as a browser to connect to ORACLE forms (10/11). When I try to do this, it tells me that it needs to download and install the appropriate jInitiator. Although it is already installed on my PC (I am using IE and Firefox to connect) I chose to download and install again.
I have restarted Safari but it still does not connect to ORACLE forms.
How and/or where do I need to configure Safari to find the correct jInitiator and to connect to ORACLE forms?
Regards,
Phlip Pretorius

Okay. We could do some basic-principles troubleshooting if you like. (The issue with that is that I'm not entirely sure if this is a deficiency in the current Safari versions, or if it's a problem with the Safari versions on your PC ... so there's a chance we'd be beating our heads against a wall trying to "fix" this.)
The first thing I'd be inclined to check on would be whether this is a systemwide or user-specific issue on the PC. (This isn't a cure in itself, but can give us a heads up on the possible nature of the problem.)
Head into your User accounts control panel and create a new user account with full administrative rights. Now log out of your usual account and log into the new account. (Don't use fast user switching to move between accounts.)
Launch Safari in the new account, and try connecting to the forms again. Do you get the error message again? or does it connect okay in there?

Error when trying to extend range using an Extreme connecting to a Express

Ok,
My cable modem is connected just fine to my AE. I can run iTunes (which is nice!) off of it, connect to the internet off of my MBP and all. I just bought a AEBS to be able to EXTEND the range of my connection for all of my small townhome. However, when I go to through the Airport Setup Assistant to try and set it up, it keeps coming back with an error that says "Error Setting up WDS" or something like that. I've tried this multiple times. I've tried resetting both the AE and the AEBS...still doesn't work. Any clue?
Thanks,
Ryan

It sounds like you have an older "b/g" Airport Express (AX) and you have configured the device to "join" your wireless network. When the "b/g" AX is configured this way, the ethernet port is not active.
Follow the instructions to setup a WDS arrangement with both of your AX devices. One must be configured as a WDS "main" and the other as a WDS "remote".
Apple's step by step instructions to do this are found on pages 42-44 in the Designing AirPort Networks Guide
If both of your AX devices are newer 802.11"n" devices, you can use a different type of setup. Post back to confirm if that is the case.

How to use bind_variable for connectivity between Oracle and SQLServer 2005

The code specified below could be used as an example of how to call a remote SQLServer 2005 procedure from Oracle.
The problem I am facing is that I am not able to use the dbms_hs_passthrough.bind_variable without exceptions.
Could someone help me out on this?
declare
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.OrcaMessageTranslator
@inp nvarchar(255),
@outp nvarchar(255) output
AS
BEGIN
select @outp = @inp+'output'
END
c integer;
nr integer;
inp varchar2(255);
outp varchar2(255);
sql_stmt varchar2(32767);
begin
dbms_output.put_line('call SQLServer procedure OrcaMessageTranslator');
dbms_output.put_line('value of input variable inp is HowToReplaceThisValueByBindVariable ');
sql_stmt := 'DECLARE @outp nvarchar(255)
EXEC dbo.OrcaMessageTranslator
@inp = N''HowToReplaceThisValueByBindVariable'',
@outp = @outp OUTPUT
SELECT @outp as N''@outp''';
c := dbms_hs_passthrough.open_cursor@pp_preorca;
dbms_hs_passthrough.parse@pp_preorca(c,sql_stmt);
nr := dbms_hs_passthrough.fetch_row@pp_preorca(c);
dbms_hs_passthrough.get_value@pp_preorca(c, 1, outp);
dbms_hs_passthrough.close_cursor@pp_preorca(c);
dbms_output.put_line('acquired value of output variable outp is '||outp);
end;

Hi,
BIND_VARIABLE is useful when you have only IN variable but in your case you have IN and OUT.
I don't know if you use the gateway for MS SQL SERVER or HSODBC/DG4ODBC but here how you can do to call a remote procedure with bind variables:
DECLARE
ret integer;
inp varchar2(255);
outp varchar2(255);
BEGIN
inp :='Hello World';
outp :='';
ret := "dbo"."in_out_proc_test"@tg4msql( inp, outp);
dbms_output.put_line('Input value: ' ||v_ut1||' - Output value: '||v_ut2);
END;
The MS SQL Server procedure belongs to the user "dbo" and the database link
being used is tg4msql.
The following line initilaize the out variables of the procedure with an
empty string:
outp :=''
I hope it helps you.
Regards
Mireille

Preparing for Oracle OCA 11g using an Oracle Express 10g database

As a software application developer, I have been considering Oracle certification for a while to enhance my skill set. Unfortunately I don't have access to a commercial Oracle installation, and would like to use a free version of Oracle Express during my studies. The latest OCA courses largely focus on Oracle 11g, and it would appear that there is no free (Express) 11g database available yet.
Could anyone please advise me whether it would be possible and practical to prepare for the 1Z0-051 Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I and 1Z0-052 Oracle Database 11g: Administration I exams using an Oracle Express 10g database instance, while accompanied by the relevant Oracle 11g study material? In other words, is the overlap between Oracle 10g and 11g sufficient that a solid understanding of 10g could allow me to successfully sit the 11g exams? Furthermore, would the Express edition of the database provide sufficient functionality to prepare for the Administration exam?

(http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_org_id=1080544&lang=US&p_exam_id=1Z0_051 says Exam 051 has been validated against Oracle Database 10g and Oracle Database 11g. Training on either version will be appropriate preparation.).
For 1z0-052 the situation is different. Oracle 10g express edition hides some of the administration tasks ... you really need to be using 11g.
If you dont waht Oracle 11g all over your regular machine then I would typically recommend install Oracle Enterprise Linux either on a spare machine with a dual core or HT processor and with 2GB or more of memory (eg Dell gx280 or better); or using a virtualisation solution on your current machine (ram would need to be 3GB or higher) (eg virtualbox or whatever ... though windows as a guest can have a license issue).

Why to Use EJB rather then Direct Connection To Oracle Thru webDynpro?

Hi
Experts,
I want to know that why to use EJB to connect to oracle rather then direct connection via WebDynpro.
Please Give Me References to how to connect to oracle with EJB or WebDynpro.I want to tell you that i know JDBC,JAVA and basic web Dynpro.
Please Reply Me Dear Friends...ASAP.

EJB are better for a project beacuse the application is scalable, have less maintainence and have better performance.
Have you gone throght these:
Connect Oracle 9.2 DB to Web AS 6.40
web dynpro - database connection
web Dynpro application connecting to oracle

Unable to use Cache connect to oracle

Hi Friends,
I am using TimesTen Cache connect to oracle to connect to Oracle 9i. When I tried to
Command> call ttCacheUidPwdSet('testuser','mypsswrd'); it gave me an error saying
"con1: Command> call ttCacheUidPwdSet('TestUser', 'prashant');
Warning 5105: OCI initialization failed: Error due to failure of ttOCIEnvNlsCre
ate (called from ttBDbEnvAlloc/ttBDbInit).
Warning 5109: Cache Connect general error: BDB connections not open."
can anybody tell me what could be the problem.
And to use cache connect is there a separate installation ? or setting ?
Thanks,
Prashant

What exact version of Oracle client is installed on the TimesTen machine? Are the permissions for the Oracle client directory and files set correctly? Do you have your Oracle environment properly setup (i.e. can you connect to Oracle using SQL*PLUS)? When you installed TimesTen, did the user you used to install it have a valid Oracle environment?
This type of error is almost always due to an unsupported version of the client or an incorrect environment either at runtime or at installation time.
