Win64_11gR2_client still throws 'requires oracle client 8.1.7 or greater'

Hey All,
I just installed the new win64 11g R2 Client on my windows 2008 server machine, with the ASP.NET client, however i'm still getting the error:
System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater
Now I went to the ODBC Manager (64 bit, not the 32 bit) and tested my connections, so i know the client is connecting.
Is there something special i need to use to make this work?
Regards,
Dan Regalia

Is Visual Studio, or your web/asp.net app, 32 or 64-bit? If the app is 32-bit, it needs ("looks for") the 32-bit Oracle client libraries. Maybe that is the case here?
You could use Process Monitor for troubleshooting the issue:

In addition, consider using the Oracle provider instead.

JAVA beans and JAVA related services require Oracle client to be installed?

Can you please advice whether an application server that make use of JAVA beans and JAVA related services require Oracle client to be installed? For an example if the solution build based on Java and JBOSS to be used as application server, do we still require oracle client to be installed and configure the tnsnames in order to communicate to database server?

The amount of information you provide is surprisingly sparse, assuming you want assistance.
So - if you want help, you might wnat to provide some information:
- the operating system (including edition, and major service pack if WIndows, or distro && major/minor release and kernel if *nix)
- the URL froim which you downloaded
- the country yuo are in (since ORacle could redirect to several sitres based on region)
- the command or executable, including directory path, you run or double-click on
- the 'exact' error message, or if a generic one like "Unknown", perhaps a screen shot to convince us that it is actually such a generic message
It's just a suggestion, but answering in such detail actually tells us you are serious about resolving the issue - you put in effort, and that may convince us to return some effort.

Windows 8 operating system + applications requiring 32-bit oracle client

Hi,
We are trying to install oracle 32 bit client on Windows 8 opertaing system
11.2.0.1
Have done so successfully on Windows 7 but Windows 8 says doesn't meet minimum environemnet requirements.
We have a 32-bit appliactuion which requires oracle client
When we tried the 64-bit oracle client on the Windows 7 onne, application didn't work so henec the 32-bit oracle client which allowed the application ro work O.K.
Problem is we need to have this application working in Windows 8 environment.
Any thoughts if can use oracle 32 bit client on Windows and if so where I can download from?
Thanks

Regardless of whether test or production machine, why would you choose an unsupported combination ? Which exact version of Win 8 ?
Certification tab is at My Oracle Support - https://support.oracle.com - access to which requires a paid support contract with Oracle.

Comms between a database and an oracle client is slow

I have a Win2000 server machine (Running MicroStrategy) with Oracle client (9.2.0.1.0) querying an Oracle DB (9.2.0.6.0) on AIX 5.2 (They are connected via Gbit ethernet, ping times are 1ms and no hops enroute). After a lot of testing I have simulated the problem I see in MicroStrategy by running a simple select * from A_TABLE which returns 30,000 rows to the client. When I run this it takes about 2 minutes to complete.
When I run the same query against a copy of the database on Solaris it takes 5 seconds.
When I run the same query from a different PC (same Oracle client) it takes 2 seconds.
I seem to have a problem with this specific Oracle client machine talking to a specific Oracle DB. It happens with Oracle Net connections, ODBC and Oracle Wire Protocol connections.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Marc

I can't see how tuning the Oracle Networking would help as both ends of this problem work OK when talking to other nodes. The DB server certainly performs well with any other client, so tuning at that end would seem pointless. The Win2000 server first display the issue using Oracle Wire Protocoal drivers which don't require Oracle client anyway - there doesn't seem to be much to tune. (AND it works OK against other DBs)

Oracle client

Hi,
We have a windows server (2008 R2) which requires both 32 and 64 bit oracle client installs.
Theory is 2 different accounts on this machine will run various 3rd party services - some require 32 bit, some 64 bit, each service will run under a different account on the server (e.g account32 will run the services requiring oracle 32 bit) and account64 will run the services requiring 64 bit.
With regards the install, shoule we install oracle 32 bit client using account32 and login separately with account64 to install oracle 64 bit client?
Oracle version 11.2.0.3
Thanks

ThanksDoes not really matter. what matters is that the applications can access the require oracle clients executables and files. make sure the paths are properly set.
On my laptop..I have two oracle client(32 and 64). just to encourage you
But to be more safe: "install oracle 32 bit client using account32 and login separately with account64 to install oracle 64 bit client"

Oracle Client 8.1.7

hi all
i have a vb.net application with oracle 10g as Database.
my envoirnment is like this

i am unable to understand that why this problem coccure on my two pcs althogh rest of all clients working properly.
can any body help me.
thanks in advance

- Is the Oracle client in your PATH?
- Does whatever Windows user your application is running as have permission to the directory you installed the Oracle client in?
- More generally, what is different about the client machines that are working vs. the client machines that are not working? Did you install the same version of the Oracle client? Did you install it the same way?

Oracle client still required?

Do I need to install oracle client in order to install ODP.NET? Thanks.

The JDBC thin driver does not require the installation of an Oracle client.
I have heard that there will be a streamlined Oracle client installation process in Oracle 10g. I expect that the 10g client and database will be available some time early next year, based on the latest press releases.

Oracle Client required?

I am running 10gR2 Standard Edition Server on my computer. When I go to install ODT.NET, it want's to install another Oracle Client in a new Oracle Home.
It did the same thing when I loaded the beta of ODT.NET earlier this year. Having two Homes was a pain.
Since I already have all the Oracle Networking I will ever need in my current 10gR2 home, why does ODT require a new Client installation??? I'd rather it just use the home that I already have.
Is there some way to install ODT without creating a new Home?
...don

Mark,
Thanks for the response!
The last time I tried to install ODP, I pointed OUI to my existing Oracle Home, and after the install all my client applications (TOAD, in-house programs, etc) could not find the Oracle DLL's to connect. SqlPlus still worked and my database was still available, but that's all.
So, I've tried installing to a new home and had to deal with two sets of tnsnames.ora's, etc, and I have also tried installing to the existing home but lost my OCI connectability. Apparently I am doing something wrong. Any ideas???

Throws Core Dump for OCISessionBegin() on Linux for Oracle Client v10.2.0.2

hi,
The OCI method, OCISessionBegin() is throwing an core dump on 10g client in Linux on C++, but the same code works fine for 8i and 9i client. Core dumps for 10g Client. 10g tnsnames.ora file is same as of 9i. I just debeggued with the core and says failing in OCISessionBegin() method. I would like to know is there any problem with Oracle Client v10.2.0.2? or how does i can solve the issue? appriciate a quick help in this regard.
Thanks,
Sreeni

Have you looked in the Knowledge Base information at metalink? That would be the place to start.
If that does not work then the next step would be to remove this thread and post in the OCI - OCCI forum where there are people that can actually help you.

Oracle client required for Essbase Installation

Hi
I installed Essbase server and EAS server with foundation services in one Windows Machine.
My RDBMS (Oracle) Is installed on a different Machine.
Do i need to install Oracle client on my Essbase machine to configure with RDBMS? or Oracle Client installation is not required to configure with RDBMS?
Thank you.

You don't need the Oracle client if you want to configure the foundation database as it uses JDBC drivers which are included in the foundation installation.
The Oracle client is useful if you want to set up Oracle ODBC connections to be used with essbase SQL data loads.
Cheers

DT require Oracle9i client and Oracle Services for MTS software

"Distributed Transactions require Oracle9i client and Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server software."
I get the error above when attempt to run a COM+ transaction accessing Oracle9i. I'd been checked the installation of Oracle9i and Oracle Services in the client computer and it is ok.
I am using Windows Server 2003 and the database server is on another Windows Server 2003. The database is Oracle9i Enterprise Edition.
At Stanford's web site (http://www.stanford.edu/dept/itss/docs/oracle/9i/win.920/a95496/ch1.htm#1079911) I found Oracle's documentation that explains this, but it didn't worked for me.
Oracle Services is installed in both machines.
The Oracle MTS Recovery Service is running.
The COM+ component is registered.
When I use the same component with SQL Server 2005 beta 2 it works fine. What else do I need to do?
Thanks in advance.
Caio Pereira

Hi.
I have the same problem, one which works and another which don't (almost though).
I got most of it to work by taking the mtsservices registry entry from the server that works and put it on to the other after i have made the service in Oracle management console for mts.
Now i can search, delete, change but not make a new entry into the database.
And thats where i'm stuck now.
Hope it helps a bit..

Oracle Client requirement for BO XI 3.1 Desktop Intelligence

Will the BO XI3.1 Infoview or Desktop Intelligence work with Oracle 8i Client on the user's desktop? Or do they need to Oracle client versions 9i and greater.

Hi
for Desktop Intelligence XI 3.1 the oldest officially supported version of Oracle is Oracle 9.2 over the native client (Oracle Net Client 9.2). What you can try though is to use the Oracle ODBC driver since Generic ODBC sources are also supported.

Oracle Client Version requirements

We've built a program using VS2005 and ODT 10.2.0.2. The database it is accessing is 9i. In order for the program to establish connectivity with the server, we had to load Oracle Client 10.2.0.2, with the installing user having administrative priviledges. No problem. Things work fine.
However, users access the computer with the program installed via terminal services over their network. If a user who does not have administrative priviledges via Active Directory, a error is generated stating “The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client”.
If the user is given administrative priviledges, this error does not occur. As I ponder this, I wonder if terminal services uses the priviledges assigned to the user to determine the Oracle Client to use on the host computer.
Could this be the case, or am I missing something?
Allen

does the computer with the program installed has multiple ORACLE_HOME (i.e home for 9i client and home for ODP.NET)? I suspect, only administrators can access ODP.NET home.
