Using Oracle 9i Client and 10g Server on the same box

Hi,
All our applications are compiled using oracle 9i and the proc compiler for oracle 9i.
However we run the applications against a 10g database which has oracle9i and 10g co-hosted on the same both. We achieve this by using the oracle 9 libclntsh.so shared library which uses shared memory (I assume) rather than having a listener and tnsnames.ora entry.
My question is, is it support by oracle.
Thanks,
Iain

You can achieve this by install them into different ORACLE_HOME

  • How can I connect to Oracle and SQL server at the same time?

    I have been trying to find a way to connect to Oracle Database through the developer 2000 and SQL server at the same time. I need to return some data from Oracle Database and some from the Sql Server Database. And update both through SQL. I find there is such a thing as the Oracle Transparent Gateway for SQL server. I can't find it on any of my CD's or through OTN downloadable files. If anyone can point me where to get this. Or tell of another way this can be accomplished I would appreciate it. TIA.

    As far as I know you have 3 options depending on your specifications. I don't think option #3 will work if you need to actually join a
    SQL Server table to an Oracle table.
    1. Oracle Transparent Gateway. I haven't used the Oracle Transparent Gateway but my understanding is that Oracle gateways are
    separate purchased products from Oracle. I've never seen any free/development versions of it anywhere. You'll need to contact
    your Oracle sales rep about it.
    2. Heterogeneous Connectivity. There's something called Heterogeneous Connectivity that could work for you - depends on what
    version of Oracle you're on and what OS. You basically set up an ODBC data source on the Oracle server and modify the listener.ora
    and tnsnames.ora files. You can then create a database link to SQL Server just like you would to any other Oracle database. You can
    check your Oracle documentation for how this works. There's also some very good documents on Metalink that tell you how to do this
    as well as a Heterogeneous Connectivity forum on this site.
    3. Use the exec_sql package available in Developer 2000. This allows you to open and execute cursors to remote databases within
    Developer. We have an account validation process that uses this - when a person enters an account number in a form while logged
    into Oracle it validates the account is valid in our main accounting DB2 database. We also pull HR information from DB2 into Oracle
    this way. If you're using Forms 6i exec_sql is a built-in command, in Forms 5.0 and 5.5 you have to add it as an attached library to
    the form. I think you also need the OCA options installed from the Developer software to have access to the library in Forms 5.0 and
    5.5. The library will be in the $ORACLE_HOME\oca20\plsqllib directory for these versions. The Developer documentation should have
    additional information.

  • 7 and 6.1 on the same box

    Hello,
    Is it possible to install WLS 7 and 6.1 on the same box? I still would like
    to retain 6.1 for development for existing clients, and at the same time be
    able to test/develop on 7..
    Thank you,
    Makoto

    Yes.
    Install WLS 61 & 7 in different BEA homes and in different folders.
    You should be able to use both of 'em at the same.

  • BW and R/3 in the same box with a single instance  ECC 5.0

    Hi anybody using this scenario of having bw and r/3 in the same box....we are planing to consider in our project.
    will be happy if anybody can provide me some help on this.
    thanks and regards
    neel

    HI Neel Kamal,
    I think its a better option to distinguish OLTP like R/3 or ECC and OLAP like BW rather on a single instance
    from the above posts
    Let us know if this holds good
    Thanks,

  • Strange problem with SQLPLUS when client and server on the same box

    Hi,
    I have the problem with SQLPLUS when clinet and server on the same machine.
    With client and server on the same machine i am running the command
    sqlplus -l username/password@connect_identifier as SYSDBA.
    With this command, even if you pass in wrong username or wrong password or both as wrong you can able to connect to database and execute queries.
    Once Connect_identifier is correct and trying to log in as SYSDBA ,sqlplus will log in to DB with any username and password.
    How to get rid of this behaviour. Is there any way to do this.
    I am running this command by creating a process in C#

    Thanks for the info.
    How does Oracle/SQLPLUS allows any username or password to log in to DB with SYSDBA Privillages? What is the concept behind this.?
    This is explainted in the above mentioned link:
    Operating system authentication takes precedence over password file authentication. If you meet the requirements for operating system authentication, then even if you use a password file, you will be authenticated by operating system authentication.

  • Two different 10g installations in the same box

    Hi,
    I installed oracle 10.2.0.2 and 10.2.0.4 in the same box, using different paths as ORACLE_HOME, but the same user... I am gettin this errors when trying to create an instance:

  • Developing for BizTalk 2009 and BizTalk 2013 on the same box

    I currently have Visual Studio 2008 installed and setup on my local machine for doing BizTalk 2009 development.  We are migrating to BTS 2013 soon. 
    I also have Visual Studio 2013 installed (but no BizTalk 2013 components installed).  Will I be able to develop for both versions of BizTalk on the same box?
    Has anyone successfully done this?
    My machine is Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit.  And I have also installed BTS 2009, Developer edition as well.

    Hi Chris,
    I don't think BTS 2009 and BTS 2013 (or for that matter any two versions of BizTalk) can be installed on the same OS. MS SQL Server and Visual Studio cannot
    distinguish which instance is started. Use Microsoft Virtual Server instead.

  • ABAP and JAVA Stack in the same box

    Hi all,
    I have installed Java Sneak preview first and after I installed ABAP Sneak in the same box.
    Everything is working fine but I noticed a little detail.
    My jcontrol.exe service disapeared from SAP Management Console.
    I mean before installed ABAP Stack my MMC had 2 divisions in my J2E instance:
    server 1 with 2 Process msg_server.exe and enserver.exe
    server 0 with 2 Process jcontrol.exe and igswd.exe
    After installed ABAP Stack, my server 0 became part of NSP Instance and jcontrol process is not displayed anymore anywhere.
    Instead I see now msg_server.exe and disp+work.exe and igswd.exe that of course are Process of the ABAP system.
    Does anyone have a nice explanation for this?
    Regards,
    Mauricio

    Hi mauricio,
    I was installing Netweaver sp15 both Java and ABAP version on one PC. But it seems they are working.
    Can you please tell the procedures to follow, to have good installation?
    If I load java version first and then ABAP i get error at step 11.
    Did you parttition the drive in to 2 or you installed on the same partition?
    Your help will be greatly apprecieated.
    Thanks

  • Crystal Report 8.5 and 9 installed on the same box

    Is it possible to have Crystal Report 8 and 9 installed on the same server?

    Hi Michael,
    You can install Crystal Report 8.5 and 9 on same box.
    However, there are chances that dll may conflict and few issues may occur.
    Try to install on different harddrives.

  • 9ias R2 infrastructure and middle tier on the same box

    Can someone please point me to a referece where the details of installing 9iasR2 on the same box are located? I need information on the install and especially on the Unix scripts and the appropiate enviroment variables that need to be configured to start/stop iASR2. i.e. dcmctl needs to be called twice? for each httpd server instance?
    If at all possible, notes on Reports and Forms variables startup scripts would be helpful. I've search through metalink but only found crumbs...

    Claudio,
    Check out the Oracle9i APplication Server Administrator's guide - chpt 2 and 3 lay this out pretty well. In my case, my infrastructure is in "isuites" and my base is "isuitesDB", so it is fairly clear (but could be clearer) which service belongs to which install.
    I don't remember where, but also in that document is info that specifically states the order that must be followed in starting up each of the tasks.

  • BI and ERP (HR) on the same box

    Hello,
    the question is about running together in one instance the transactional system (SAP HR on Netweaver 2004s) and the BI of the Netweaver 2004s.
    Any experiences with that or criteria for going for that architecture?
    Kind regards, Ralf

    Hi Ralf,
    It should work I guess though I have no experience with this.
    We have installed Solution Manager and BI on the same box.

  • Oracle 11G database and Application Server installed on same server

    What are the pros and cons installing Oracle 11G database and Oracle Application Server (Forms and Reports) on the same server?
    Thank you in advance, Sonya

    Some may want their data in a separate network zone for security reasons.
    It also depends if it is the same people that do maintenance on db and appserver.
    It is lower cost with one server, and only 1 Os to set up.

  • Business One, Terminal Server, and SQL Server on the same machine

    Hi,
    We have a customer who has a machine with Win Server 2003 R2.  They are using it as a Terminal Server with Business One for multiple users and as a SQL Server.  The have memory leakage issues which they believe are caused by our add-on, which, when it fails, has over a gig of ram allocated to it.  Our add-on was created using VB .NET 2005 and should be able to depend on the GC to prevent memory leaks.  Is there something about this approach that is problematic?  Should they have SQL Server on one machine and terminal server with Business One on a different machine?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    we have many customers that have this situation. all on one server.
    the only thing that i recommend is that the server has POWER !
    4 Gigabyte RAM should be minimum and the server should have 2 quadcore processor. -> this results in 8 cores and enough power.
    regards

  • How can i use an barcode scanner and a keyboard at the same time on Ipad

    HI I am looking to find a way to use a barcode scanner and the on screen key bard at the same time, so far i cant seem to find a way to do it.
    Does any one know how this can be done.
    thanks

    It is possible, I use multiple versions, however Firefox official policy is that you use firefox3.6 or 5 ; not firefox 4 which is not secure and not supported.
    The easiest solution may be to use firefox portable http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36 although firefox 3.6 will itself not be supported for much longer.
