Which Oracle Client to install with BO XI4

Hello,
To install BO on Oracle , we should have the Oracle DB installed with the client.
But Which option should i choose from instant client, administrator,runtime or Custom.
I already installed the Instant client and BO XI 4 SP2 Patch 8, if another client has to be insatlled, can i do it after te BO insatalltion or should i start from the begining?
Regards,
Hassan

Hi,
i always used the runtime installer. In XI 3.1 the instant client wasnt sufficient enough. Did you used the instant client also for the connection to the CMS and Audit DB oder did you used the shipped DB?
Maybe they changed it in BI4 and the instant client is enough. But to be 100% safe i would use the runtime.
Regards
-Seb.

Attempt to load Oracle client libraries threw BadImageFormatException. This problem will occur when running in 64 bit mode with the 32 bit Oracle client components installed.

Hello guys,
            Problem has been solved -
Attempt to load Oracle client libraries threw BadImageFormatException. This problem will occur when running in 64 bit mode with the 32 bit Oracle client components installed.
1. If you install 64 bit oracle this is not an issue. Install 64 bit oracle.
2. Download odp.net 32 bit from below link:-

3. installed the odp.net.
4. open the visual studio 2010.
5.Select new - project - asp.net web application - project name -ok

You do not need to do anything in VS. You do need to configure both tnsnames.ora files, because the drivers do not share any data.

Any help is greatly appreciated, I have tried couple of solutions going through some threads online but no use and place dt tell install 1og r 11g 64-bit

Hi,
Based on the error message, we should confirm whether Oracle client tool has been installed on the Report Server at the beginning. If the Report Server installed is 64-bit, we should also install a 64-bit Oracle client tool on the Report Server. Besides, we
can also try to bypass tnsnames.ora file when connecting to Oracle by specifying all the information in the data source instead of using the TNS alias to connect
to the Oracle database. Please see the sample below:
Data Source=(DESCRIPTION=(CID=GTU_APP)(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST= server01.mydomain.com)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=OracleDB)(SERVER=DEDICATED)));

Which Oracle client to use? with CRS2008 on Windows 2008 R2 64bit

Hi,
We are setting up a standalone Crystal Reports 2008 Server on Windows 2008 R2 64bit. This server will serve some reports that will pull data from an Oracle 11g DB. Several Oracle 10g/11g, (32bit or 64bit) DB client has been tried, but CRS cannot connect to the oracle DB using any of them. Which oracle client is known to be working well on this setup?
CRS 2008 <> Windows 2008 R2 64 bit <> Xeon E5600 series machine
Thanks,
Steve

Hello,
CRS2008 v1 supports Oracle 9.2, 10g R1, 10G R2 and 11g R1.
The client to use on those version are the same as the server meaning if you have a 11g R1 server then you can use an Oracle Net Client 11G R1. But you can use also a JDBC, ODBC, OLEDB Oracle 11G R1.
If you have a CRS2008 v0, then Oracle 11G is not supported. Only 9.2, 10g R1 and 10G R2.
I hope this will help you
Regards,
Philippe

Which oracle client do I Need?

I need to connect to vision instance on a remote server using my machine. I came to know that I need to have oracle client installed on my machine.
Can someone clarify which oracle client do I need? I am running on windows- XP on NT Server. Version of Vision instance is 11.5.10.2.
I appreciate for your help. URL Link should be great.
This is what I download and unzip to C:\Oracle\instantclient_10_2.
instantclient-basic-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip
Is it the correct one?
Thanks.

Your setting
-Doracle.net.tns_admin=/usr/local/oracle/oas03/network/admin
is ok if this directory contains the correct tnsnames.ora file.
I have done some poking around, and I suspect that you use an old JDBC driver.
I have written a sample Java program that tests a connection with java.sql.DataSource using JDBC thin and tnsnames.ora, and it works fine with Oracle 10.2.0.3 but fails with Oracle 10.1.0.5 with exactly the error message you get.
The property oracle.net.tns_admin exists only since Oracle 10g R2 (see Metalink note 333686.1).
With 10.2.0.3 I was not able to reproduce your error message, when I set a wrong oracle.net.tns_admin I get "Io exception: could not resolve the connect identifier", and when I omit the property altogether, I get "Io exception: Unknown host specified".
Please double check if Vision uses the JDBC driver you think it does!
Yours,
Laurenz Albe
PS: maybe the test program is useful for somebody. I will post it:
* Test a DataSource connection with tnsnames.ora
* Usage:
* java -classpath .:/oracle/dir/ojdbc14.jar -Doracle.net.tns_admin=/tnsnames/dir tnsname user password
public class DataSourceTest {
public static void main(String[] args) throws java.sql.SQLException {
if (3 != args.length) {
System.err.println("Usage: java DataSourceTest <TNS-Name> <user> <password>");
System.exit(1);
// enable the following for trace output
// need to use ojdbc14_g.jar for this
/* java.util.logging.Logger logger = java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger("oracle.jdbc.driver");
logger.setLevel(java.util.logging.Level.FINEST);
java.util.logging.Handler handler = new java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler();
handler.setLevel(java.util.logging.Level.FINEST);
logger.addHandler(handler);
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleLog.setTrace(true); */
oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource ods = new oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource();
ods.setURL("jdbc:oracle:thin:@" + args[0]);
java.sql.Connection conn = ods.getConnection(args[1], args[2]);
java.sql.ResultSet rs = conn.createStatement().executeQuery("SELECT user FROM DUAL");
rs.next();
System.out.println("Successfully connected as user " + rs.getString(1));
conn.close();

Patch 5482266. Which oracle home to install it to

Hi,
Patch 5482266 Installation has a default home ODACHome1. My Oracle Client is installed in OraClient10g_home1.
Should I switch it to the existing OraClient10g_home1 home or install to the new home? Or it does not matter?
Checked release note, but nothing is mentioned there.
Thanks.

That patch is for "ORACLE DATA ACCESS SOFTWARE FOR WINDOWS RELEASE 10.2.0.2.20 : ORAMTS PATCHSET 10.2.0.1.0 "; which means you must be having some issue with existing release (from existing home). So you should be running the patch against your existing home and not the new one.
You can make a backup of your existing home before proceeding with the patch so that you can revert the changes, if needed.

Which oracle client works with both Oracle 11.2.0.2 and BizTalk 2006 R2

Hi there
My Oracle11.2.0.2 is installed on linux server. My Biztalk2006R2 is installed on Windows Server 2003 R2 x64. I have already installed BizTalk Adapter for Oracle on the Biztalk server and now require to install Oracle Client to make Biztalk able to retrieve data from Oracle11.2.0.2 using the oracle client.
From the following link,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa559822%28v=BTS.20%29.aspx
I came to know that the only oracle clients compatible with Biztalk adapter for oracle are as below:
1) Oracle client 8i
2) oracle client 9i
3) oracle client 10i
Now I need to install an oracle client on biztalk server in order to make biztalk talk to oracle and retrieve data from it.
Question1: which of the above clients should i install on biztalk server that is compatible with both Oracle11.2.0.2 as well as Biztalk server 2006 R2?
Question2: How to install and configure this client to make it work correctly?
Please help.. thanks.

Edited by: manibest on 19-Dec-2012 03:27

The Biztalk Adapter interface with Oracle software has information, requirements per referenced document that does not make sense.
E.g. "10i" does not exist and the requirement "Oracle ODBC driver 9.2.0.5.4" means that only 9.2 Client can be used. (Mixing parts from one Database Client product version with another version is not allowed/supported/certified.)
Btw, does that machine happen to have Itanium hardware? (probably no, since you stated x64)
For Oracle's OS requirements, 2003 was certified with/from 9.2.0.3 (and likely also terminal patch set version 9.2.0.8). Not sure about Server 2003 R2, 32 or 64-bit. I'm pretty sure 10.2 was certified on 2003 R2, but the note likely refers to 10.1 versions (before it was known it would be labeled 10g, g for grid replacing the i ).
This FAQ may have some more information: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/windows/faq-100614.html
For Oracle client - server interoperability and certification, there's a support matrix on MOS. See doc id 207303.1.
It seems 9.2 is supported on the wire to operate with 11.2 server, but Client with at least patch set 9.2.0.4 is required.
So, I guess best bet is to find updated requirements.
If you manage to get hold of 9.2.0.5, after verifying that 2003 R2 is ok, then it looks like the puzzle could be put together for a complete picture.
For ease of install, take a look at the Instant Client. (However, there's no 9.2 IC, that type of client install came later)
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-097480.html
Edit;
some corrections, specially about 9.2 version

Oracle client version :installed

In my system services ,the oracle client shown is OracleOraHome817ClientCache.
But in my Add or Remove Programs , it shows Oracle 10g InstantClient 10.2.0.3 installed as well.
so can I confim that my Oracle client is Oracle 8i, since my system services show Oracle 8i.
Thanks ,
Arc

It is possible to have many Oracle products installed on the same server. Just because you saw a service with client in the name and under add/remove programs something else doesn't mean anything. Which client should you/your application be using? Also, which client do you want to use by default? In that case whatever the home selector has selected first is the default client installed.

Installing 10.2.0.1 Oracle Client after installing XE

Hi all,
I have a oracle XE installed on a enterprise linux.
Now, i wanted to install the10.2.0.1 oracle client in the same system but i get the following error when installing with oracle universal installer 10.2.0.1:
OUI-10133:Invalid staging area. There are no top level components for Linux for installation in this staging area.
I tried with:
ORACLE_BASE=/usr/lib/oracle and group name = dba (from XE installation)
and with:
ORACLE_BASE=/oracle and group name = oinstall (suggested in 10g client manual)
but i get the same error.
Can anyone tell me what's the problem?
Thanks,
Celio

It sounds as if the products.jar (or similar) is missing from the stage directory on your installation disk.

Which oracle client for aix 6 xi31 sp3?

I need oracle client 10.2 for a installation of xi31 sp3 on aix 6 with an oracle 11g db in order for ldap to work properly.
My apologies for my lack of DB (oracle) experience, however, can someone please tell me which file I need for this and the associated link to download it?

Hi,
   Please explain in more details what do you mean "which files"?
   If you mean getting the physical files, then :
      To download BOE XI 3.1 with SP3, you need to log onto the SAP Support Portal (aka: Service Market Place) - http://service.sap.com/
      The Oracle D/B and the Oracle client will need to come from Oracle website. You will need to check with Oracle to see how you can get your hands on the files.
      As for AIX 6.1, I assumed that should already been setup since you quoted that in your last note.

On Windows 2003 64-bit, Which 10g Client to Install ?

hello again,
I have a server with the Windows 2003 Enterprise 64-bit operating system.
I need to install Oracle 10g Enterprise onto the server.
I noticed there are 2 install folders for the 10g Client R2 - one is R2 x32 and the other is R2 x64. I want to be sure I install the best, most problem-free version of the client.
Are there any known issues with using the 64-bit client? Sorry for the lame question - I googled and didn't find much.
Thanks, John

That's correct. And the primary application that will be installed is 32-bit. But I don't think it needs to interact with the client tools at all.
We are upgrading the server from 32 bit to 64, the OS and the database from 9i Enterprise 32 bit to 10g Enterprise.
I may just install the 32 bit client to avoid any problems.
Thanks, John
(The hardware is way ahead of the software)

Which TWAIN DLLs are installed with which Adobe apps?

I was just curious to know which Adobe applications install the TWAIN DLLs (e.g. TWAIN32.DLL). I seem to be having some conflicts with some other scanner-based tools I'm using and was wondering which app(s) install those DLLs...
Thanks!

Does this mean that if for example I purchase and install Adobe Flash CS3 it will install all the fonts listed under CS3 in this list: http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/fonts-installed-by-adobes-creative-suite#CS3 ??

Which lion version is installed with internet recovery?

Would very much like to know which version of lion will be on my system when I perform the Lion internet recovery. I assume it downloads the latest build so I do not need to update Lion again. I also assume that there will be no difference in Lion version when I perform an erase and install or just an install over the existing installation.

AMPiper wrote:
I just reinstalled Lion yesterday because my Recovery HD wasn't there. 10.7.3 was what was downloaded and installed.
I downloaded about 2 days agao and got the 10.7.2 version. so it now looks like Apple has updated to the .3 version.
I'm glad I have USB thumb drives of the .2 version cause .3 didn't do anything for me except slow down my Mac.

I can not fint the texture files, which should have been installed with the CS6 and CC? why?

I installed Photoshop CS6 a while back. Later on I discovered that the texture files where missing, or not included? Later I installed Photoshop CC, to see if the texture files were included here. But no, it was not. As far as I concern, I know that the texture files are included, and should have been installed, but they were not. Someone have any idea why?

In Photoshop CC 2014, Filter Gallery opens the dialog below, and "Texture" is the last folder.
