WINDOWS TERMINAL SERVICES AND ORACLE CLIENT 9,10.1,10.2 BUG

PROBLEM:NON-ADMINISTRATOR USER UNABLE TO USE CLIENT SQLPLUS INSTALL
FIX: NONE... REFER TO Bug No.     4684738     
Filed     18-OCT-2005     Updated     06-DEC-2005     
Product     SQL*Plus     Product Version      10.2.0.1     
Platform     Microsoft Windows Server 2003     Platform Version
HOW I FIXED:
copied instant client basic, instant SqlPlus, instant ODBC (i need ODBC connection)
step1:
login to terminal server as administrator, unzip basic, SqlPlus, ODBC into a new directory on the server, make sure users have basic file rights read,view to new directory.
step2:
copy a working copy of tnsnames.ora (the databases you want to connect to) into the directory where all your instant client files are.
step3:
create SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT variables > click my computer, properties,advanced. create variable SQLPATH set value to path of your instant clent files. create variable TNS_ADMIN set value to path of your instant client files.
step4:
edit the PATH statement listed in SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT variables and add the path to your instant client files at the beginning of the PATH statement.
step5:
logout, login as administrator test instant sqlplus open command prompt enter > sqlplus username?/password?@mydatabase
you should get connected to your database. Repeat step5 only login as a normal user. the normal user should be able to connect to the database.
Issue: it appears instant ODBC not ready for prime time I get error 126, reading forums it appears there are files missing from the install package. The Microsoft ODBC connector for Oracle does work with my MSACCESS applications that connect to Oracle 10G using the afore mentioned process. I will continue to troubleshoot instant ODBC issue and post findings. Oracle has already wasted 12 hours of my time trying to get their junky software working might as well waste another day before throwing in the towel.

You can download the latest JDBC drivers from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html
You just need to place the jar somewhere and add the location to your classpath.

  • Windows Terminal Services and Swing

    My large swing application is being accessed remotely using Windows Terminal Services RDP protocol and is performing dreadfully in terms of screen updates. Is there an answer for this problem? Any suggestions?
    Regards
    David

    In my opinion the real problem is not at all in your application.
    1) Window terminal services (RDP)
    Each time that the screen changes is send to client all the screen.
    This is also for mouse moving.
    Using more efficent software, like Citrix that is based on RDP, are
    send to client only the dirrefernces, and mouse moving is managed
    only by client side.
    This gives advantages in performances.
    Window terminal Server, also, needed a strong Server to run, in my
    experiences more than 10 connections my cause a performances
    problems in many cases.
    2) The network
    Is needed an efficient network for ship quicly all data traffic generated
    for that fat application, minimum 100 Mbit.
    If the network is just congestionated for others think (internet browsing,
    an lot of file exchange and so on) the performances of terminal server
    is bad. (terminal server ships a lot of information across the network)
    3) Your application.
    Control if too many repaint() or revalidate() are called.
    For do that simply u can override that methods in this way in your costom components:
    public void repaint()
    super.repaint();
    System.out.println("Repainting of MyComponent");
    the same think for revlidate.
    Now, lanching your application, u can control how many times for transaction those methods are invoked.
    My doubt is that, every time that a repaint or a revalidate occurs,
    Terminal Server reshape all the screen for client (not so sure about
    that)
    I say u that because I have had a similar problem (flickering).
    I have see that flickering was caused by serval repaint invocation
    by swing itself.
    I had solved it simply do that
    public void repaint()
    if (!wBatchMode)
    super.repaint();
    The variable wBatchMode is setted to true (for example in my custom
    JTable) util I append columns and rows.
    If u look for swing code for each column added, the repaint methid is
    invoked.
    When i have finished to populate my component i set the wBatchMode
    variable to false, so the repaint method occurs only one time and no
    flickering occurs.
    So, if is true that Terminal Server for every revalidate/repaint reship
    the screen, this method may be help u.

  • 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?

  • WEBVPN and Windows Terminal Services

    Does anyone have a copy of a config to set up WEBVPN with Windows Terminal Services? I have opened port 3389, but something does not seem to be working correctly.

    Hi Paul,
    you don´t say exactly what is not working but anyhow here is example config:
    Under Configuration | Tunneling and Security | WebVPN | Port Forwarding you put the following into the fields:
    Name: Terminal Server
    Local TCP Port: 2000
    Remote Server: 10.172.24.100
    Remote TCP Port: 3389
    Now after the user has logged into the WebVPN and click-ed on Application Access he will see a window. In the window there are 6 columns. In the Local column you will see something like 127.0.0.1:2000 and in the Remote column 10.172.24.100:3389. The user will type 127.0.0.1:2000 in the computer field in the Remote Desktop Connection window
    Hope this helps,

  • SSGD vs. Windows Terminal Services

    I'm using one Windows Terminal Services server with 20 clients in my office. My question is, what advantages (ands disasvatages such as serial port forwarding) can I expect from using SSGD?

    advantages (ands disasvatages such as serial port

    SSGD will also use the Terminal Services. The advantage you get is, that you can deposit the access also from the outside (= Internet) and not only to the inside.

  • Out of memory using Windows Server 2003 and Oracle 9.2.0.3

    Hi,
    I just installed both Windows Server 2003 and Oracle 9.2.0.3. The server I am using has 4 gigabytes of memory installed, and windows shows that to be the actual physical memory on the server. The paging file is 8 gigabytes for a total of 12 gigabytes of virtual memory.
    Using the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant, I create a new database using default values. After verifying the installation worked OK (database started, queries ran), I attempted to change some of the memory parameters and was able to start the database using about 1.4 gigabytes of total SGA, with the O/S using about .3 gigabytes for a total of 1.7 gigabytes. I then attempted to change the buffer cache + 1 gigabyte for a total of 2 gigabytes. Now the database will not start and I get an out of memory error ora-27102 with an additional O/S memory error of "O/S Error: (OS 8) Not enough storage is available to process this command".
    So, I have two problems:
    1) With 4 gigabytes installed, and the O/S using only about 300 megabytes, why isn't Oracle able to take advantage of the memory on this machine past the 1.7 gigabytes (as reported by Windows task manager).
    2) How do I change the spfile memory parameters so the database will start using spfile? I can start the database pointing to a pfile with lesser memory parameters, but I don't know how to effect change on the spfile, since I cannot start with the spfile.
    Both these technologies (9.2.0.3 and Server 2003) are new to me, so any insight would be appreciated!
    HERE ARE THE SPFILE PARAMETERS THAT WORKED:
    SGA (M)
    Shared Pool=104
    Buffer Cache=960 ***
    Large Pool=0
    Java Pool=64
    Total SGA=1128
    SGA Max Size=1321
    Aggregate PGA Target=1500
    Current PGA Allocated=22868KB
    WINDOWS MEMORY INFO FROM TASK MANAGER SHOW:

    Total=1748184

    *** When I change this to 2048 the database did not start.
    Thank you.

    CREATE SPFILE
    Purpose
    Use the CREATE SPFILE statement to create a server parameter file from a client-side initialization parameter file. Server parameter files are binary files that exist only on the server and are called from client locations to start up the database.
    Server parameter files let you make persistent changes to individual parameters. When you use a server parameter file, you can specify in an ALTER SYSTEM SET parameter statement that the new parameter value should be persistent. This means that the new value applies not only in the current instance, but also to any instances that are started up subsequently. Traditional client-side parameter files do not let you make persistent changes to parameter values. Because they are located on the server, these files allow for automatic database tuning by Oracle and for backup by Recovery Manager (RMAN).
    To use a server parameter file when starting up the database, you must create it from a traditional text initialization parameter file using the CREATE SPFILE statement.
    All instances in an Real Application Clusters environment must use the same server parameter file. However, when otherwise permitted, individual instances can have different settings of the same parameter within this one file. Instance-specific parameter definitions are specified as SID.parameter = value, where SID is the instance identifier.
    The method of starting up the database with a server parameter file depends on whether you create a default or nondefault server parameter file. Please refer to "Creating a Server Parameter File: Examples" for examples of how to use server parameter files.
    See Also:
    CREATE PFILE for information on creating a regular text parameter file from a binary server parameter file
    Oracle9i Database Administrator's Guide for information on pre-Oracle9i initialization parameter files and Oracle9i server parameter files
    Oracle9i Real Application Clusters Administration for information on using server parameter files in a Real Application Clusters environment
    Prerequisites
    You must have the SYSDBA or the SYSOPER system privilege to execute this statement. You can execute this statement before or after instance startup. However, if you have already started an instance using spfile_name, you cannot specify the same spfile_name in this statement.
    Syntax
    create_spfile::=
    Text description of create_spfile
    Semantics
    spfile_name
    This clause lets you specify a name for the server parameter file you are creating.
    If you do not specify spfile_name, Oracle uses the platform-specific default server parameter filename. If spfile_name already exists on the server, this statement will overwrite it. When using a default server parameter file, you start up the database without referring to the file by name.
    If you do specify spfile_name, you are creating a nondefault server parameter file. In this case, to start up the database, you must first create a single-line traditional parameter file that points to the server parameter file, and then name the single-line file in your STARTUP command.
    See Also:
    "Creating a Server Parameter File: Examples" for information on starting up the database with default and nondefault server parameter files
    Oracle9i Database Administrator's Guide for Windows (or other appropriate operating system specific documentation) for default parameter file names
    pfile_name
    Specify the traditional initialization parameter file from which you want to create a server parameter file.
    If you specify pfile_name, the parameter file must reside on the server. If it does not reside in the default directory for parameter files on your operating system, you must specify the full path.
    If you do not specify pfile_name, Oracle looks in the default directory for parameter files on your operating system for the default parameter filename, and uses that file. If that file does not exist in the expected directory, Oracle returns an error.
    Note:
    In a Real Application Clusters environment, you must first combine all instance parameter files into one file before specifying it in this statement to create a server parameter file. For information on accomplishing this step, see Oracle9i Real Application Clusters Setup and Configuration.
    Examples
    Creating a Server Parameter File: Examples
    The following example creates a default server parameter file from a client initialization parameter file named t_init1.ora:
    CREATE SPFILE
    FROM PFILE = '$ORACLE_HOME/work/t_init1.ora';
    Note:
    Typically you will need to specify the full path and filename for parameter files on your operating system. Please refer to your Oracle operating system documentation for path information.
    When you create a default server parameter file, you subsequently start up the database using that server parameter file by using the SQL*Plus command STARTUP without the PFILE parameter, as follows:
    STARTUP
    The following example creates a nondefault server parameter file s_params.ora from a client initialization file named t_init1.ora:
    CREATE SPFILE = 's_params.ora'
    FROM PFILE = '$ORACLE_HOME/work/t_init1.ora';
    When you create a nondefault server parameter file, you subsequently start up the database by first creating a traditional parameter file containing the following single line:
    spfile = 's_params.ora'
    The name of this parameter file must comply with the naming conventions of your operating system. You then use the single-line parameter file in the STARTUP command. The following example shows how to start up the database, assuming that the single-line parameter file is named new_param.ora:
    STARTUP PFILE=new_param.ora

  • Oracle Client 64-bit and Oracle Client 32-bit on the same server

    Hi,
    I have a Windows 2008 server 64-bit with Oracle Client 64-bit and Oracle Client 32-bit installed on different directories (D:\Oracle and D:\Oracle32)
    Is it possible to define for certain applications to use the TNSNAMES entry from the 64-bit Oracle Client
    and for other applications to use the TNSNAMES entry from the 32-bit Oracle Client
    Once I installed the Oracle Client 32-bit (Oracle Client 64-bit version was already installed) and restarted the server I performed a TNSPING and it defaulted to the Oracle Client 32-bit installation path
    Thanks,
    Barry

    Hello,
    When you install a new client on a server, it will update the PATH variable, and add the ORACLE_HOME\bin path to it, at the first place. That explains why the tnsping use the last installed ORACLE_HOME.
    What you can do if you want only to change the default path to the tnsnames is to set the environment variable TNS_ADMIN to the path where the tnsnames you want to use is located. You can modify this variable in your application if you want to use another tnsnames.
    If you want switch from 32 bits to 64 bits client, then you have to modify the PATH variable.
    Hope this will help.
    Best regards,
    Sylvie

  • About Oracle Heterogeneous Services and Oracle Gateway

    Hi All,
    I am very new at this topic, I want to know:
    1)Oracle Heterogeneous Services and Oracle Gateway same or not?Need license or not?
    2)If want Creating Database Link from Oracle 11g to Sybase AS 15.5 Using Oracle Heterogeneous Services what drivers should I install from my pc(windows 7) and from my server(Linux red hat 5)?please give me link for this
    3)Is there any link Step by step to configure odbc until creating dblink?
    4)what more convenient, connect sybase from Oracle Heterogeneous Services or Oracle Gateway?
    Thank you so much for your help
    Regards
    JOE

    Joe,
    let copy/paste your questions and comment inline:
    1)Oracle Heterogeneous Services and Oracle Gateway same or not?Need license or not?
    Let me first clarify one thing, heterogeneous services is the generic mechanism in the Oracle database used by all gateways. The product you are talking about is the Database Gateway for ODBC or the Database Gateway for Sybase.
    The Database Gateway for ODBC is available for Linux and Windows. It is the free product which does not require an Oracle license. The license is included in your database license. It is a generic gateway which allows you to connect with any suitable 3rd party ODBC driver to a matching foreign database. As it is a generic connectivity which aloows you to connect to real databases but also to MS Excel or even Text files as long as you have a suitable ODBC driver, its capability is very limited.
    The more powerful gateway is the Database Gateway for Sybase. It covers the same functionality as DG4ODBC but it allows you also to work with distributed transactions, it allows you to call remote Sybase stored procedures etc. This gateway is design for Sybase ASE connections, so it is also able to map certain Oracle functions to Sybase equivalents. This Database Gateway for Sybase is NOT for free, it requires an additional license.
    2)If want Creating Database Link from Oracle 11g to Sybase AS 15.5 Using Oracle Heterogeneous Services what drivers should I install from my pc(windows 7) and from my server(Linux red hat 5)?please give me link for this
    That depends on your preferences. Both gateways are available for Linux and for Windows. When using DG4ODBC you only need to pay attention that you get a suitable 3rd party ODBC driver for this platform with the matching word size (64bit for 64bit DG4ODBC and 32bit ODBC driver for installations of DG4ODBC on 32bit platforms).
    The latest software release is currently 11.2.0.3 and it can be downloaded (and installed from scratch) from "My Oracle Support". Just open the Patches & Updates section, look for Patch 10404530: 11.2.0.3.0 PATCH SET FOR ORACLE DATABASE SERVER and make sure to choose the platform you want to use. Then check out the readme as it lists which of these download CD's contains the gateway software.
    BTW, the CD contains DG4ODBC and DG4SYBS and it is up to you to decide during the installation which product you want to use.
    3)Is there any link Step by step to configure odbc until creating dblink?
    The ODBC driver installation differs from vendor to vendor and platform to platform - so we don't have a specific note how to configure the ODBC driver. This kind of question is better handled by the ODBC driver vendor.
    Regarding the set up of DG4ODBC on Windows you find suitable information in the knowledge base on My Oracle Support. Just look for:
    How to Configure DG4ODBC (Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC) on Windows 32bit to Connect to Non-Oracle Databases Post Install          [Document 466225.1]     
    and for DG4SYBS:
    How to Configure DG4SYBS (Oracle Database Gateway for Sybase) on 64bit Unix (Linux, AIX, HP-UX Itanium and Solaris) Post Install          [Document 437696.1]     
    How to Setup DG4SYBS (Database Gateway for Sybase) on a 64bit Windows          [Document 1319852.1]     
    4)what more convenient, connect sybase from Oracle Heterogeneous Services or Oracle Gateway?
    It really depends on your needs. DG4SYBS is surly easier to install as this gateway comes with everything you need and you do not have to find a suitable ODBC driver nor get the ODBC driver working. It is also more powerful as you can for example use triggers that replicate data changes in an Oracle database to the Sybase database within the same transaction. When you want to call Sybase stored procedures you can also do that with DG4SYBS. So it really depends on your needs.

  • 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.

  • How to validate prerequisite for ODP and Oracle Client connection

    Hi.
    I have a very simple application on .Net that connect to Oracle using ODP (was compiled with Oracle.DataAccess dll 10.2).
    I want to check "connection prerequisite" (application will be able to connect to DB) before installing this aplication on other computers?
    How can I check that ODP.NET version 10.2 or higher is installed on target host (registry check is not enopugh)?
    I know that I can check ODP entries in registry - but this will not check Oracle Client and compatibility between client and ODP.
    Also, if ODP was installed by ODAC XCopy installation - registry may be not updated by new ODP entry.
    And - if I am installing on the computer, DB was installed on, Oracle Client can be not installed separately.
    And one more issue: When I tried to run "test connection" method from installation, that use referenced dll on machine, that has only ODAC (with ODP) 11, - "Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleInit.Initialize()
    at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection..cctor()" error message was thrown (policies for both ODAC 10.2 and 11 are exists in GAC (assembly), pointing to Oracle.DataAccess 11 from ODP 2x bin).
    So, How and which components can I check to ensure appropriate versions of ODP and Oracle Client were installed and application will be connected?
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi,
    You could check for the presense of Oracle.DataAccess.dll in the GAC. Bear in mind you'd also want to check the version and whether a policy files exists as well as a newer version + policy file will work too (but not without the policy file).
    That wouldn't confirm the install is valid and works though, and I don't know of a way you could easily check that, apart from perhaps simply trying to run a small exe that attempts a connection to the database.
    With respect to the type initializer exception, that occurs when ODP cant find the right oraops*.dll or oci.dll, usually due to the wrong one being found, but can also occur if one is not found at all. Quite often this is due to the application including ODP in its bin directory rather than letting ODP get picked up out of the gac. Prior to 10.2.0.2.20, ODP loads the dependencies based in PATH so multiple homes can cause it as well. 10.2.0.2.20 and higher ODP loads dll's based on DLLPATH registry entry.
    Hope it helps,

  • LabVIEW license for terminal servers and thin clients (e.g. LTSP)

    Does NI plan to provide a license agreement for terminal servers and thin
    clients?
    I've been told to purchase a multi-seat license. That doesn't make much
    sense since the thin clients won't be accessing DAQ hardware. They're
    just used for developing the LV source.
    Comments/suggestions?

    Yes, this is a very good point. Quite a unique situation when compared to
    text based languages. Keep in mind I certainly don't mind paying for that
    but I see no need to pay for much of the other features - like running it.
    This is certainly one of the other features you pay for with LV. Since
    we never plan to run the app on the thin client, why pay for that
    feature?
    What we do is crank out source code on the thin clients. We then send the
    source code to this wireless mobile DAQ station running WindowsXP. From
    there we can roll it up to our clients' target systems. That machine is
    used for debugging then compilin
    g so it has its own LV Prof Dev license
    installed on it. Also, it can be operated locally or remotely via remote
    desktop (one user at a time).
    I know it may sound strange but it works great. And as the NI Software
    License Agreement(NISLA) specifies, we have separate licenses on all
    machines that load LV into local memory. The thin clients load nothing
    into local memory, hence no need for a separate license.
    > I express myself clearly in the hope of guidance. I am a one man shop
    Yes, this is understandable. Installing one license on multiple machines
    is a big no-no. However, that is not what I'm trying to do. Take a peek
    at the "Grant of License" and "Single Seat License" sections of the NISLA.
    > You say "That doesn't make much sense since ..." One of my clients has a
    Ha! How about this scenario: As wireless hardware (bluetooth, wifi)
    becomes more common, perhaps NI will have a peer scanner on all PCs with
    LV installed. That way if you get within 100 feet of a P
    C with the same
    LV serial number, you get locked out and it sends a small message to the
    NI batcave.
    Thanks for the response. I'm hoping NI chimes in soon.

  • Windows 2003 64 bit and Oracle Client install issues

    A bit of background. We are a Microsoft shop using SQL Server 2005 / Windows 2003 64 bit servers. We need to have ODBC drivers and Oracle OLE provider to connect and transfer data vis SSIS.
    We have installed a package (ODAC10203x64.zip) for OADC 10.0.2.3 which we downloaded from the Oracle website.
    We see the software in the program file group. We cannot find the Oracle ODBC drivers, also can't find the Oracle OLE Provider. However the Oracle installation package shows the Oracle OLE Provider has been installed even though we cannot find it anywhere.
    Any suggestions?

    I Have an active Directory setup within my office, and I wish to take advantage of Windows Deployment Services to deploy office workstations for our employees.
    I have 1 requirement.
    The DHCP server is an Mikrotik RouterBoard.
    I need to know what options I need to set to allow our clients to PXE boot into WDS.
    No one really seems to know what needs to be done.
    Since there are options for using a 3rd party DHCP server software, I cant see why this will not work.

    check here: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/DHCP_Server
    you will probably need to use these:
    Sub-menu: /ip dhcp-server network
    next-server (this may need to be set to the ip address of your WDS, so that your RouterBoard performs a referral to your WDS)
    [this may be the only thing you need, if all your computers are on the same subnetwork]
    otherwise you might need to explore these:
    boot-file-name (not sure about this one)
    dhcp-option (the usual options needed are option 66 and option 67)
    EDIT: this may help you:

  • Microsoft SQL 2005, Terminal Services and Tiger

    We found a great application we need to use at work. Unfortunately, it runs only on Windows. We will need to run it on a Windows server, running SQL Server 2005, and Macs interacting with it using MS Terminal Server. At least that is what someone at Dell said. This ends up being a huge and complicated purchase for us.
    All this is totally foreign to me. I set up our Mac network, using OSX Server 10.2, migrating up to 10.4. We have 16 computers on the network, and it runs reasonably well. I did not need months of training to set it up. There are many things I do not understand and features that I have zero idea about...but for email, web, ftp and application serving, it works well.
    We have 13 Macs, 2 Windows boxes and one UNIX box on the network.
    Has anyone used SQL 2005? Has anyone had to connect thru Terminal Services to a Windows Server?

    Hi John!
    Using Terminal Services on a Windows server is common in corporate environments and solves a lot of issues where Macs can't run Windows-only software.
    Since the Windows server will be the only Windows machine on your network and you only need it for a specialized purpose, you can probably get by with purchasing Windows Small Business Server Premium, which comes with a SQL Server. You'll have to ask the vendor if this version will work with their product. See this link on Microsoft's website http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/sbs/default.mspx.
    Many third party database applications will facilitate the setup of the datbase with the SQL server, but they won't support the SQL software and its security. I'd advise hiring a contractor to help with the installation and setting up a backup (preferably someone that can become familiar with your environment and provide ongoing support).
    Hope this helps! bill
