Old posts doesnt fix -- Cannot start process './dbclient_oracle', error code 128

[Vikas]

Hi All,

We ran into this problem after installing the DB Server and config server. We are using Oracle 10g database and client is already installed on the server. We could connect to the oracle database using the oracle client. Eveyrhing is installed on the same server. I've already gone through the other posts [below], but everything looks okay.

Pasted below the the configuration file snippets and the error that we are seeing.

What errors do you see on the Oarcle side? Are you using the 32 bit Oracle Client?

[Vikas]

We are using 32 bit oracle client 10.2.0.1.0. We can connect to the server with oracle client and dont see any issues with that.

Cheers,
-Vikas

[Steve]

Are you using the correct version of dbclient_oracle?

To find out simply run ./dbclient_oracle at the command line (from the dbserver directory), it should return the Oracle versions it is compatible with.

[Vikas]

Getting this when I execute the 'dbclient_oracle ',

The application has failed to start because OCI.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

We did reinstall of dbserver and config server couple of times. On the other hand we can connect to oracle database using the SQL* plus.

Thanks,

Google is your friend...
According to some post the main reason is that your ORACLE_HOME path is not correctly set up

[Vikas]

We have both database and client on same machine the oracle home refers to the oracle server path and not client. We reisntalled the oracle cleint as well. Now when we execute the 'dbclient_oracle' we get the message. "The application is failed to initialize properly [hex code] Click ok to terminate the application.
We were getting these even before reinstalling the client.

[cavagnaro]

I think you should read the DBServer guide and specially the Oracle part. I do remember my first time with Oracle also had some bad time but then solved it by going step by step.

[Steve]

When you connect with the client, how do you do it? sqlplus username/password@CTIDB?

Also you are getting an error OCI.dll not found, does it exist? Does "cd $ORACLE_HOME"[sup]1[/sup] get you to the same place?

[sup]1[/sup] I think it is "cd %ORACLE_HOME%" on windows machines.

[Vikas]

We are able to connect using "sqlplus username/password@CTIDB"

OCI.dll exists in bin folder of client. %ORACLE_HOME% references to the server location [till BIN folder, tried with one level below as well] on the same machine.

And one correction; we are using 64 bit windows 2003 with oracle client 64 bit.

[Vikas]

The error details are,

Level
Standard

Cannot start process [process name], error code [error code]

The correct Cancel Event is 00-05022.

Actions

Does this gives any hints???

[BenTaylor]

I don't believe the 64 bit Oracle Client works with DBServer.

Try installing the 32 bit Oracle Client.

[Vikas]

Thanks Ben et all,
I installed the oracle client 32 bit on local machine and copied the dbclient_oracle there. And after running this file got the result as mentioned by Steve. Now installing the 32 bit oracle client on server to test the DB server. Just wondering if thats the case then why it is not there in any document.

[Vikas]

[RESOVED]

For the benefit of others.

The issue is resolved after installing the Oracle cleint 32 bit on the local machine. In addition, as referenced in the DB Server user guide ORACLE_HOME should point to the client and ORACLE_SID must be set. And set the PATH to client location till BIN folder

Thanks,
