Oracle 10g Test

turbolover · Post by **turbolover** » Tue Jul 05, 2005 1:39 am

We have a Oracle 10g Server and I'd like to test for the DB using the Oracle Test. Unfortunately I'm a bit a newbie to Oracle.

I used the setup.exe from Oracle and it wants to install about 1GB - do I have to do this? (rather not)

How do I install the oracle client or what files and modifications do I put where so that Host Monitor can perform the test?

Thank you

Yeah, Oracle Client is pretty big.
To perform Oracle test HostMonitor uses single DLL - OCI.DLL. If you already have Oracle client installed on another system, you may try to copy this DLL to HostMonitor's system. I am not 100% sure it will work, may be Oracle client requires some modifications in registry and so on...

I copied OCI.DLL from the Oracle 10g Installation directly to c:\Programme\Hostmonitor3 (where Hostmonitor resides).

Test Method: check Oracle server
Server (TNS Alias): test.castor.impag.local
Username: a user that can connect to the DB "test"
Password: his/her password

When I "check" the OracleTest it returns "Oracle Error #0:"

Looks like Oracle client requires installation. I checked google but did not find information about simple/light installation...

MicroOracle Client works with Oracle9. Will work perhaps, with Oracle10g.
