How to connect to Oracle 8

Dear Experts,

I am in need of connection to a lower version of Oracle (version 8) as one of the sources of DW.
I tried to connect directly via the Oracle Module, but it failed.

Could someone enlighten me please on this subject

OWB & DB Version: 11.2.0.1

Thanks in advance
Rlap

Hi Rlap,
problem with connection of OWB11g to the old database is Oracle compatibility between different Oracle client/server releases.
Compatible combination, you can get Metalink note "Client / Server / interoperability between Oracle Versions support" (id Note 207303.1).
In your case, you can try to use Oracle 9.2 additional data bases - create in this database schema, and then build in this view of schema with db-connect to Oracle8 database.
for example:
Create view v_oracle8_table in select * from oracle8_table@dblink_oracle8

Then in OWB create location and module that refer to the Oracle 9.2 database.

Or you can try to use generic connectitvity (connect to Oracle8 with ODBC) - in this case, you need to install old Oracle (for example Oracle 8.1.7) client with the ODBC for Oracle driver.

Kind regards
Oleg

    Hello

    What do you not sure about?
    If Oracle can be the site of conduct, you can use the gateway for DRDA database and we can help you with that. If you need assistance on setting up DataMirror CDC to connect to Oracle, then you will need to contact IBM because it is one of their products.

  • How to connect to Oracle 11 g 2 of CF9

    Hello

    How to connect to Oracle 11 GR 2 64 bit, database of CF9?

    In CF administrator no Oracle driver is available.

    I need to install the Oracle Client software on server hardware where the CF9 server is installed?

    If so, is the Oracle Instant Client is enough or do I need to install the full oracle client?

    Any idea?

    cordially Claudia

    I assume you are using the Standard edition? Native drivers for Oracle come with CF9 Enterprise, you will need to download the JDBC drivers from Oracle's Web site.

    Oracle Applications Architecture is a framework for distributed computing and at several levels that supports Oracle Applications products. In this model, different servers are divided in several levels/levels as follows:

    -The Office of the range--> browser with Jinitiator or Sun JRE
    ---> Web servers, forms, States, Admin and simultaneous Application layer
    -The layer of database--> Oracle Enterprise Edition database

    The Application layer is the layer that is responsible for:

    -The different servers that deal with the business logic of accommodation
    -Manage the communication between the Office of the range and the database layer

    So, to connect to the database, you can access the application layer, or connect directly to the base. I don't think that it is possible to communicate with the application to another application services. Therefore, you must connect directly to the database which can be carried out as explained in my previous answer. There is no such API that can be used to open and close a database connection. Oracle E-Business Suite is just a database with number of patterns and objects that are perfectly integrated.

    Hello, I tried to connect to Oracle XE using VS 2008 by using the version of two drivers:

    using both, I have the same exception...

    If you are using VS 2008, I advise to use the last available ODP.NET, 11.1.0.6.20. There was a difficulty added to the 10.2.0.4 release and above that best ensures you won't see the error "provider is not compatible with the version of the Oracle Client." Using one of these newer versions will probably solve this specific problem.

    I don't know what version 2.5.7 designates.

  • How to connect to Oracle 12 c with SQLPLUS 6i

    Hi people:

    I have people who still need to use the client of 6i SQLPlus.   They were able to connect to our previous database (11g R2) ok.  People who use more recent versions of SQLPlus can connect ok to the Oracle 12 c database that we use.

    Does anyone know what setting (and how) I want to change the database Oracle 12 c to allow access to an earlier version of SQLPlus?

    Thank you

    Matthew

    I have people who still need to use the client of 6i SQLPlus.

    6i is not the version of the Client, but the forms & reports one, the version of the Client is 8.0.6, too old to be used with the database of 12 c.

    See MOS Client / Server interoperability Support Matrix for Oracle Versions (Doc ID 207303.1)

    BTW, I tried with a client 9i, and I've got ORA-28040: no authentication protocol matching error, as mentioned in the document and 8.0.6 is even two older versions.
