Configuring Oracle Net

To configure Oracle Net, you will need to know the System Identifier (SID) of the database to which you are connecting, the full service name of the database, the port number, and the hostname of the computer hosting the database. If necessary, ask your database administrator for this information before continuing.

The following instructions assume you are using the IUGP Oracle research instance:

• SID:iugp
• Service name:sid.iu.edu
• Port:1521
• Hostname:rdc03.uits.iu.edu

If you are using the IU Data Warehouse, refer to the Oracle client configuration information for the IU Data Warehouse below.

1. If you cannot see the 'Oracle Net Configuration Assistant: Welcome' dialog box, move the 'Configuration Assistants' dialog box.
2. In the 'Oracle Net Configuration Assistant: Welcome' dialog box, make sure Perform typical configuration is not selected, and then click Next.
3. In the 'Oracle Net Configuration Assistant: Naming Methods Configuration' dialog box, make sure the 'Selected Naming Methods' box has Local Naming, and then click Next.
4. Enter the full service name (e.g., iugp.iu.edu), and then click Next. If you do not know the full service name, contact the High Performance Systems group to check with the database administrator.
5. Select TCP, and then click Next.
6. Enter your hostname (for the iugp SID, the hostname is rdc03.uits.indiana.edu). Unless otherwise specified, leave 1521 as the port number. Then, click Next.
7. Select Yes, perform test, and then click Next.

   If the login test fails, select Change Login, enter your user information, and then try again.

   When the test is successful, click Next.

8. The UITS High PerformanceSystems group recommends using iugp.iu.edu as the name for the new net service. Enter the name, and then click Next.
   Entering a service name without a domain (e.g., iugp instead of iugp.iu.edu) can cause connection problems.
9. If you want to configure another net service name, select Yes, and then repeat steps 4 through 8 above. Otherwise, select No, and then click Next.
10. Once you have configured all of your net service names, click Next twice, and then click Finish.
11. In the 'Finish' dialog box, you will see 'The installation of Oracle Client was successful'. Click Close.

After following these steps, you are finished setting up the Oracle client. You may want to continue with one of the following sections:

Adding new database services

To configure your Oracle client to connect to an Oracle database on a remote computer:

Win32_11gr2_client.zip

1. From the Start menu, select All Programs > Oracle- OraClient11g_home1 > Configuration and Migration Tools > NetConfiguration Assistant.
2. Select Local Net Service Name Configuration, and then click Next.
3. Select Add, and then click Next.
4. Enter the full service name (e.g., iugp.iu.edu), and then click Next. If you do not know the full service name, contact the High Performance Systems group to check with the database administrator.
5. Select TCP, and then click Next.
6. Enter your hostname (for the iugp SID, the hostname is rdc03.uits.iu.edu). Unless otherwise specified, leave 1521 as the port number. Then, click Next.
7. Select Yes, perform a test, and then click Next.

   If the login test fails, select Change Login, enter your user information, and then try again.

   When the test is successful, click Next.

8. The UITS High Performance Systems group recommends using iugp.iu.edu as the name for the new net service. Enter the name, and then click Next.
   Entering a service name without a domain (e.g., iugp instead of iugp.iu.edu) can cause connection problems.
9. If you want to configure another net service name, select Yes, and then repeat steps 4 through 8 above. Otherwise, select No, and then click Next.
10. Once you have configured all of your net service names, click Next, and then click Finish.

Connecting to Oracle with SQL*Plus

To connect to Oracle with SQL*Plus:

1. From the Start menu, select All Programs > Oracle - OraClient11g_home1 > Application Development > SQL*Plus.
2. At the command prompt, enter your Oracle username followed by @ and the net service name you configured (e.g., username@iugp.iu.edu).
3. Click Enter. When prompted, enter your password, and then click Enter again.
4. If this is your first time connecting to the database, you will be prompted to enter a new password. If prompted, enter a new password, click Enter, re-enter your new password, and then click Enter again.

After you've completed these steps, you will be in the SQL*Plus command-line environment.

If you want to reset your password, at the command prompt, enter password. When prompted, enter your current password, then your new password, and then your new password again. SQL*Plus will confirm a successful password change.

Starting SQL Developer the first time

The first time you open SQL Developer, you must specify the path to the Java executable (java.exe). After connecting for the first time, you will no longer need to set the path to java.exe.

To specify the path to java.exe:

1. From the Start menu, select All Programs > Oracle - OraClient11g_home1 > Application Development > SQL Developer.
2. The 'Oracle SQL Developer' dialog box will prompt you to enter the full pathname for java.exe. Click Browse to find the file.

   The executable is most likely in your ORACLE_HOME directory in the jdkbin subdirectory; for example:

3. When you find the path to the file, click OK. SQL Developer should start.

Configuring and locating an ODBC data source

Programs that use ODBC to connect to remote databases need a way to identify the type of database and the host to which they are connecting. This is managed with an ODBC data source that associates a name with its database connection information. For Oracle, the database connection information is the name of the Oracle Net service you specified when you configured the Oracle client.

1. From the Start menu, click All Programs > Oracle - OraClient11g_home1 > Configuration and Migration Tools > Microsoft ODBC Administrator.
2. Enter a Windows administrator username and password.
3. At the top of the 'ODBC Data Source Administrator' window, select System DSN, and then click Add.
4. From the list of drivers, select Oracle in OraClient11g_home1, and then click Finish.
5. In the window that appears, enter your information, and then click OK.

   For example, to create an Oracle ODBC data source for the iugp database on rdc03.uits.iu.edu:

   • For 'Data source name', enter iugp_ora.
   • For 'Description', enter something to remind you why you created this ODBC data source (e.g., 'Oracle ODBC for IUGP DB on rdc03.uits.iu.edu').
   • For 'TNS service name', enter the Oracle Net service name you created for the database to which you are connecting (e.g., iugp.iu.edu).
   • Leave the 'Username' field blank; you will be prompted for your username when you make an ODBC connection to the database.
6. The ODBC data source you added will now appear in your System DSN list. Click OK to finish your ODBC configuration.
