Why is Oracle Client needed?

Hi
May I know why do I need to install Oracle client in another desktop, whereby other desktop without installing Oracle Client and PeopleSoft Client, they also can access into the URL.

Do you mean by reading manual guide or go for the course?I don't know your background, but abviously not Peoplesoft. I don't know where you are from and the comany you are working for. I don;t know what the company you are working for is expecting from you, but they must understand that you need much more help than asking on a forum for learning. Do they realize that ? Could be very uncomfortable situation for you doing something one something you don't know...
Without Oracle client, you cannot access to the database. Without acces to the database, you cannot run sql (if you do customization - new or modification of existing). Without access to the database, you cannot run DMS (import/export/update/delete...).

  • Why does RMI client needs to specify codebase

    Anyone,
    I'm trying out a dynamic class loading tutorial.
    my question is why does the client need to define
    java.rmi.server.codebase.
    I can understand why the server needs it, as it is downloading classes
    it does not have information about. But why does the client need to specify the codebase

    The client has to annotate the codebase property if it is calling remote methods with parameters, whose subtypes are not defined in the server. This way server has a change to dynamically locate and load those classes from specified codebase.

  • Help !!! why does the client need to specify codebase

    Anyone,
    I'm trying out a dynamic class loading tutorial.
    my question is why does the client need to define
    java.rmi.server.codebase.
    I can understand why the server needs it, as it is downloading classes
    it does not have information about. But why does the client need to specify the codebase

    Lets say you have a Remote interface with a method:
    void compute(Task task);
    Now, the clients of this remote interface want supply
    a zillion of custom tasks to be executed on the
    server, but how the hell the server knows where to get
    the actual classes for those tasks?You fool. its for the server to hand the client the reference to a stub, or to specify FOR the client where the stubs are, so that the CLIENT can get a reference to them, to make the call.
    This is where the
    client codebase comes to the scene. Client codebase......you mean codebase info that is sent TO the client, so it can find the classes.
    A client annotates
    it and it gets written to the manifest part of any
    serializable object (Task implentation) being passed
    over then net so the server could find and download
    the actual class of the object.
    Rubbish.
    I hope I made myself clear. as mud.
    You might want to check
    out this link also:
    http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/guide/rmi/cod
    base.htmlI read this and i still dont see anything about CLIENT codebase. I see stuff about codebase, and the server trying to make the client aware of where it can get the relevant classes.
    What a fool you are. Dont bother replying. I have had enough of your autocratic rubbish.

  • Patch level Oracle client

    Hi,
    Does the Oracle client needs be on the same patch level as the Oracle database (10.2.0.4)?
    Your answere is appreciated.

    Hi,
    Patchsets are recommended when you have problems with your installation or when you need to get to a higher version to keep on having full support. For example, for some platforms it would be necessary to upgrade to 10.2.0.4 database version before March 2009 to keep on having full support. If you are having no issues I think its not necessary to upgrade your client. If you want to be sure of the supported versions of every product you can check it at [metalink.oracle.com].
    If this answered your question or was helpful please qualify.
    Thanks!!!

  • What is an Oracle Client and why is it needed

    Hi,
    I have an application that is using an Oracle database as data source. Application and database is located on two different servers. Now I will move application to a new server and to do this I need to install an Oracle client and install this on the new application server. From my understanding this Oracle client is needed to make it possible for the application server to communicate with the database server. I wonder if someone can tell me more about this Oracle client, functionality, role and why it is needed?
    I have been recommended to install the Oracle client 10g version. Where can I download this together with instructions of installation process?
    FYI - database used is Oracle 10g EE.

    Third-party products (and Oracle's own too) need certain Oracle DLLs in order to connect to the database. This set of files is called the Oracle client. You may also want to learn about tnsnames.ora because you need to edit it in order to use Oracle client to Oracle database.

  • We have a set of oracle clients running on T5220 zones that need some help

    Greetings all -
    We have a set of oracle clients running on T5220 zones that need some help.
    If, for example, I execute the query "select (all) from dba_objects", trace output reports 90% of the elapsed time spent under "SQLNet message from client".
    Here are OS details for the clients: Solaris 10 5/08 s10s_u5wos_10 SPARC
    Running "uname -a" from the client gives:
    (SunOS bmc-ste-app 5.10 Generic_127127-11 sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5220)
    Here are OS details for the dataserver: Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2
    Running "uname -a" from the dataserver gives:
    (2.6.18-92.1.6.0.2.el5 #1 SMP Thu Jun 26 17:44:55 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)
    The RDBMS is 10.2.0.4
    Again, please note, there is no application in the picture here. We are just running a simple catalog query (select * from dba_objects) from sqlplus. Why the wait on something like this? The wait also occurs when a different query is used (select (all) from SYS.COL$ where rownum < 50000). And it doesn't matter if I used the full client or the instant client. I still get the same high-wait.
    We had thought - maybe this is a network thing - so we put a test client on the same subnet as the dataserver. This helped - but not enough. The wait is still way too high even with firewalls taken out of the equation.
    We've also looked at arraysize, SDU, kernel settings. And we've spent time going over tkprof, truss and sqlnet-tracing.
    Has anyone ever had to solve this HIGH WAIT ON CLIENT issue? Is there a work around or some tweak I'm missing.
    Is anyone configured like we are (linux dataserver, solaris clients)? If so - did you see anything like this?

    Hello,
    We have the exact same issue. Did you ever solve this issue? We have a t5220 and have just upgraded our 11.5.10.2 11i system on it from 9.2.0.8 32-bit sparc to 11.2.0.1 64-bit sparc. Things should be faster but arent, and our consultant has tracked it down to high wait times when the apps tier using forms connects to the database tier on the same box. So even though the t5220 is both server and client, there is something about the client sql connection.through TNS that his having trouble. Thanks for any information. We've also created an S/R with Oracle.
    Note: I am well aware of the other issues with the CMT server series but this particular issue seems independent of the regular / known issues and remains a mystery to us. Other known issues with the CMT servers for SPARC:

  • 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();

    conn.close();

  • Does Admin server need Oracle Client

    I have a setup where the admin server resides on a different server than the managed server. To setup a Data Source/connection pool does the admin server need to have the Oracle client setup for the data source to work which is targeted ONLY to the managed server.
    Thanks

    JohnHi John, no, and we recoomend highly that you use the oracle driver
    in the thin mode, which needs no Oracle client installation at all.

  • Do we need Oracle client?

    me know.If you are using the OCI driver then you must have the client installed.
    The client install would also allow you to use "tnsping" which determines connectivity to the oracle database.
    The oracle data is installed on another computer correct? (If it is on your desktop then there is no point in not also having the Oracle client installed on your desktop.)

  • Acces Oracle DB, do i need oracle client locally

    i have asp.net application which acces an Oracle DB throught ODP .net, my project includes the Oracle.DataAccess.dll, my test server has a oracle 10g client on it so i can access the DB fine, although the DB is on another server, wheni move my application to my live server and open my application (logon.aspx connects the DB ) i get this error :Unable to load DLL 'OraOps10.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)
    do i need to have an Oracle Client installation on my production server, can I not just access using ODP without having to have a client locally?

    In your live web server, you will have to install ODP.NET using the OUI installer. The ODP.NET can be downloaded from "http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/windows/odpnet/index.html". When you run the installer, you will have to select the ODP.NET component and install it.
    Just GAC'ing Oracle.DataAccess.dll will not work as it requires several other unmanaged dlls to implement ODP.NET functionality.

  • Does JDBC application need oracle client

    We are going to wirte java application that going to use jdbc connection to Oracle database. The question is does this application require to have oracle client software to connect to Oracle?
    Thanks.

    No, I don't thinks so that you don't need a client for using JDBC

  • What do I need to install when I install oralce in linux and oracle client

    What do I need to install when I install oralce in linux and oracle client in windows?
    I want to connect oracle from windows to Linux, what do I need to install or setup? thanks.

    Are you trying to install the DB on Linux from your Windows Box? if so, you need to have an XWindows client on your client. You have to SSH or Telnet into the box, set your DISPLAY variable. In fact, it is all in your documentation for the DB install. We still don't understand what you are exactly asking.
    Do you have direct access to your Linux machine? If so, and it has a graphical GUI, then you can find install guides for most flavors of Linux at dizwell.com. His are most excellent and show examples, but do not go over the XWindows problem. You would have to resolve that first.
    A free XWindows environment for Windows is Cygwin.
    Once the DB is running on Linux then all you do is create a TNS entry on it on your client and it connects. It is the same as setting up a connection to connect to Oracle on a Windows box.

    Yes.
    Although we haven't shipped any library specific to 816, you can use the library that is
    in
    $WL_HOME/bin/oci815_8 directory.
