• Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client no Oracle client deployment

  Hello

  We are trying to deploy our application on a server that has no Oracle client installed. We use the managed dll dataAccess with entity framework 5. Our web.config file contains the following:

  < connectionStrings >

  < add name = "CroEntities" connection string connectionString="metadata=res://*/CroModel.csdl|res://*/CroModel.ssdl|res://*/CroModel.msl;provider=Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client;provider = & quot; DATA SOURCE =oracle; PASSWORD = password; PERSIST SECURITY INFO = True; USER ID = user & quot; "" ProviderName "/ >

  < / dataSources >

  < / version >

  < /Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client >

  Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.dll is in our Bin folder.

  At run time, we get the following error: ORA-12541: TNS: no listener.

  The earpiece works very well. My thought is that something is missing in our configuration. When we add some debug information for the value of context. Database.Connection.Database we get empty string that make me think that the information in the configuration file does not in the run-time application.

  Any thought on what might be missed?

  Thank you

  Ken

  The XML tag should be . All lowercase. In your configuration file, you pulled profit some letters in the tag. It's probably why ODP.NET can't read XML.

• error in a WPF application using oracle.manageddataaccess.client

  Hello

  We have problems with a WPF MVVM using Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client application. We installed oracle.manageddataaccess.dll release 12.1.0.1.0 on a developer machine with 64 bit of Windows 7, Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 and Microsoft .NET Framework 4 OS. Installation seems to be ok and oracle.manageddataaccess.dll results to be registered in .net\assembly\GAC_MSIL c:\windows\microsoft. But when we try to compile the application, the following errors occurs

  Error 175: The ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client' not is either not saved in the config machine or the application of the file, or could not be loaded

  errors are caused by the entity data model files (there is an error for each .edmx file).

  Note that the application works on another computer with the same configuration, so I guess that the problem is due to a bad setting on the computer

  any idea?

  Hello

  Finally, we have solved the problem! simply, we uninstalled and reinstalled Visual Studio and Oracle.manageddataaccess in this order. Now it's working. Thank you

• x 64 application entity Framework using Oracle.DataAccess.Client

  I am trying to build a x 64 application Entity Framework using the current Oracle.DataAccess.Client.  I can launch the application as Any CPU and x 86 using the managed provider, but when I compile for x 64, I get the error below when running. If I change the provider to Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client it works with x 86 and x 64 compiler.  Unfortunately, we are unable to use the managed provider until the xml is supported.  I have two clients x 86 and x 64 installed.  Any ideas?

  Alex,

  Finally, we have solved the problem.  It turns out that we had a bad x 64 home path in the PATH variable.  I lost track of what it was originally, but I'm sure the x 64 bin path was correct. I did not notice that it was wrong, until I tried to install the full client and began to see an error indicating that it was missing a dll.  This led me to a post on the forum, in which you indicated that the PATH variable has not been set (ODAC 12 c for xcopy issues).  In our case, it is not missing, just fake.

  This is the behavior that we see if the PATH variable for the home directories and bin is incorrect:

  • Full client: an error of external system (no exceptions).  The error message is that the oraons.dll is missing.
  • XCOPY customer: generates an exception without error message.  The Exception.Message property is empty and there is no inner exception.

  Can the ODP team can add a meaningful message for this exception?  If the exact error cannot be highlighted during execution, a generic name on the path audit would help enormously.  I must have looked at it a dozen times and didn't notice that it was false.  If I had no idea that this could be the cause, it would be discussed more in detail, or had someone else Verify that it was correct.  I hope that we would have solved much earlier.

  Thank you.

• Need Oracle Essbase Client 11.1.2.1.0

  Hello
  

  I need to install Oracle Essbase Client 11.1.2.1.0 on my system (windows 64 bit).

  I see the download links in the Oracle web site for 11.1.2.1.0, but this link does not work.

  http://download.Oracle.com/OTN/Hyperion/11121/EssbaseClients-11121.zip

  Someone could transfer this https://www.wetransfer.com/ zip to my mail: [email protected]

  Thank you, Pablo.

  It must be nice, if you need the client installation files then you will need to put in a request for media SR.

• Solaris PHP 5.2.12 Oracle Instant Client error

  We test an Oracle Solaris 11 Express Server with the standard installation of Apache and PHP. But we have the Oracle Instant client and module oci8 enabled for applications of our society.
  
  We did it using the. / pecl install oci8 in usr/php/5.2/bin. We set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in /etc/apache2/2.2/envvars
  
  version 32 bit for solaris (x 86) of the Oracle Instant Client 11.2 is installed in/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2 with the symbolic link.
  
  envvars:
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH = / opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2
  ORACLE_HOME = / opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2
  ORACLE_BASE = / opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2
  
  PHP and the oci8 module set the charge.
  
  phpinfo(); output:
  
  OCI8
  OCI8 Support enabled
  Version 1.4.6
  Revision $Revision: $313688
  Persistent connections active 0
  Active connections 0
  Oracle Client Run-time Library Version 11.2.0.2.0
  Oracle Instant Client Version 11.2
  A temporary Lob support is enabled
  
  When we discover everything first a site there is no problem but very random, we get the following error:
  
  OCIEnvNlsCreate() failed. There is a problem with your system - please check LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes the directory with Oracle Instant Client libraries*.
  
  but when we use echo getenv ("LD_LIBRARY_PATH"); in php, the output is "/ opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2.
  
  now, the strange, that it's as random as it appears he disappears we can load the web page without a problem and after a few clicks of the error is back. If we wait for a cup of seconds you can reload the page and it loads normally.
  The error seems to be random and we get it over and over again, it comes and goes after a cpl of pages are read. It seems to appear more when there are multiple users browsing the Web site.
  
  Is there any solution for this? is this a known bug? It seems strange that the instant client works sometimes and fails a second later without a change in the system.
  Hope someone can help us.

  A few tips on how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.
  
  Thanks in advance

  This error seems to confirm my suspicions, it is due to the fact that main.o (and perhaps someDotOFile.o too) have been compiled for 32-bit.

  You must also add - maix64 when you compile the two objects in source files.

  I mean, I am not sure that the bit incompatibility really is the problem here, but it would at least explain why the linker can't find these symbols in libclntsh.a.

  I guess you made sure that libclntsh.a is in/oracle/instantclient_10.2, right?
