Presently i am working with Oracle Jdeveloper 11g Release 1(11.1.1.6.0) as IDE and Rational clear case Remote client 7.1.2 for version control.
While installing the plug in for clear case there was only an option with clear case version 11.1.1.6.38.61.92 and i proceeded with the installation
but when i am trying to connect with clear case using the plugin i am getting an error message "clear case executable is not installed ot not located in your system
environment path".Is the plug in is backward compatible? please Help me to fix this issue.
The ClearCase plugin would only work with a full ClearCase installation on your workstation (where JDeveloper is installed)
But I would be surprised if that plugin would work in a CCRC environment (where you don't have cleartool installed locally)

I want to upgrade SonarQube and I haven't done this before so I have few question. Please could you help me with them?
How can I find which edition is installed on my server?
How can I find if the installed version is licensed or not?
How can I upgrade from 5.6.4 to 6.7 LTS? Do you have upgrade guide for the same?
You can always find which version is installed by logging into the SonarQube web app and looking at the footer of the page or by going to Administration / System / System Info. If you for some reason can't log in to the web app, and installation folder name does not contain the version number as it does by default, look in the "lib" folder for a file that looks like "sonar-application-6.3.1.jar". That will tell you the version number as well.
Here are the general steps for upgrading, from the Upgrade the Server docs:
Download and unzip the SonarQube distribution of your edition in a
fresh directory, let's say $NEW_SONARQUBE_HOME
Manually install the
non-default plugins that are compatible with your version of
SonarQube. Use the Compatibility Matrix to ensure that the versions
you install are compatible with your server version. Note that the
most recent versions of all SonarSource code analyzers available in
your edition are installed by default. Simply copying plugins from
the old server to the new is not recommended; incompatible or
duplicate plugins could cause startup errors.
Update the contents of
sonar.properties and wrapper.conf files (in
$NEW_SONARQUBE_HOME/conf) with the settings of the related files in
the $OLD_SONARQUBE_HOME/conf directory (web server URL, database,
ldap settings, etc.). Do not copy-paste the old files. If you are
using the Oracle DB, copy its JDBC driver into
$NEW_SONARQUBE_HOME/extensions/jdbc-driver/oracle
Stop your old
SonarQube Server
Start your new SonarQube Server
Browse to
http://yourSonarQubeServerURL/setup and follow the setup
instructions
Analyze your projects (and compute your
Views|Portofolios|Application if you own the Enterprise Edition
product) to get fresh data
Before embarking on this, you will want to check out the intermediate upgrade notes for each version in order: 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, and 6.7.
Note that upgrade notes for versions after 6.7 are hosted at the new documentation site.
I just installed STS 3.7.2. Since my application uses weblogic 10.3.6, i tried installed the oracle enterprise pack (oracle weblogic tools). I finally got around to installing it and now everytime STS starts up, it says "Eclipse is running on JDK 1.7..Oracle enterprise pack requies java 8 and above..". The following screens prompt me to pick jdk 1.8. Once i pick the folder location, STS shuts down. upon starting it up again, i go through the same prompt of picking java 8 installation location. Not sure why STS does not remember.
Try modify java home at eclipse.ini

I'm currently using TeamCity 9.0 with MS-SQL as the repository. I want to upgrade to version 9.1.1. I run the installer and I see 9.0 being uninstalled, followed by the 9.1.1 installation. After the installation is done TeamCity won't come back. The Web portal shows this error:
TeamCity server is connecting to MSSQL database. The database server is not started yet, or the database specified in '/config/database.properties' file is inaccessible.
I am using the same user account as the previous installation so it doesn't look like a permissions issue.
According to the documentation the installer should prompt for the data directory, but I never got that prompt.
While uninstalling I removed the TeamCity/lib/jdbc folder (those are the libraries to use MS-SQL). After installing 9.1.1 I copied back the folder and restarted the TC service.
Thoughts?
Check your config/database.properties file, and see if your database is still there.
I may be asking the wrong question here, I'm willing to change it if so.
I have a project that is using the Microsoft.NET Oracle provider (our plan is to change to ODP but we haven't done so yet).
I am trying to get this project to build on a windows 2008 (x64) build server. It builds just fine but our unit tests fail when they hit stuff on the Oracle database.
I had initially installed the 32bit oracle 9i client which is what we currently use on our winxp dev boxes and the previous 2003 build server. But now this gets a message like: Attempt to load Oracle client libraries threw BadImageFormatException. This problem will occur when running in 64 bit mode with the 32 bit Oracle client components installed.
We tried compiling to the x86 platform but that didn't change the error message.
I now have the 11g 64 bit client installed but I am getting a message saying System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater.
So what Oracle install should I be using?
Edit:
I was able to get this to work. Turned out it was the testing causing the problem, by forcing NUnit to run in 32bit mode: Link I was able to get the tests to work using the old 32 bit driver. This would be a crappy answer to the question so I am not using it but will gladly award the correct answer to anyone putting in some good info on transitioning to Oracle 64bit drivers.
When it comes to Oracle, I like to use Oracle Instant Client :
You don't have to install anything on the target machines (including dev boxes !).
You can make sure that your application will run with the specific client you picked.
You could even easily have multiple applications work with different client versions on the same computer.
As a downside, it adds a significant weight to your application (~19Mb minimum).
Check What is the minimum client footprint required to connect C# to an Oracle database? for more information. To know how to set up a Visual Studio project that will work on x86 as well as x64 machines, check my blog post Oracle Instant Client in Visual Studio.
I'm adding a new answer since as of this fall (2012) the ODP Managed Code Beta is available. See this link for more information. It is for us highly stable and we are using it in production, mainly because of these reasons:
No installation (except for entity framework where a simple registration is needed)
It is smaller than the unmanaged version, the footprint is approx 6 MB.
It is NOT "bit sensitive", ie Any CPU will finally work with ODP :)
More intuitive mapping C# types <-> Oracle types (and it solved some problems with EF and model generation from database)
Supports EZCONNECT (all versions of the unmanaged ODP did not), ie no more tnsnames.ora hassles.
But for transitioning to 64 bit, download the managed ODP driver and change the Oracle.DataAccess reference to Oracle.ManagedDataAccess and recompile :)
I think the message "System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater" it's similar to "Oracle client not installed, installed but not found or installed but it's needed 8.1.7 or greater".
Check on regedit if the values are right under the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\KEY_OraOdac11g_home1
Where OraOdac11g_home1 depends on the Oracle Home name for your installation.
Also, try to connect through Visual Studio to see if its possible.
I have had an issue which could relate to what you are seeing.
I initially had the just the Oracle 10g client installed on my machine and the .Net Oracle.DataAccess component version number was 10.2.0.100 - this was for .Net runtime v1.0.3705
I installed ODP.Net and the Oracle.DataAccess component version is now v2.102.2.20 and runs on .Net runtime v2.0.50727 - I cant find the reference as to why Oracle did this - it was something to do with bringing version numbers in line with the runtime version
It took me a day to work this out. We dont use the 11g client yet and I havent used the 8i client for ages so I dont know what the version numbers would be for those clients, but I'd check it if I were you what.
In short, Oracle back-tracked the component version numbers which could be making your 11g component appear out-of-date as opposed to Oracle 8i components
I have found many times that the error "requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater" is a notoriously misleading error. From distant memory I seem to remember that this usually indicates a file IO permissions problem. I think it may be that the ASP.NET worker process (or whichever identity an application is running under) requires some sort of read or write permission to a folder in the oracle client folder hierarchy...
This can be a cause of multiple oracle homes in the environment. Remove the older version oracle home in your build system. try generating the build again with the single home. There are some issues with 9i version ODP.NET and 10G/11G connectivity
I've tried to install "Oracle10g Release 2 ODAC (64-bit) 10.2.0.3 for Windows x64" from:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/windows/odpnet/64-bit/index.html

can anyone direct me to a version that i can install the latesr version of ODP.NET for Windows 2008 server 64bit?
Best regards,
Guy Bertental
It's a really tricky. Before installing ODP.NET you need to already have working connection setup to oracle database. That means:
Step 1:
Oracle install client (never succeeded with that, not recommended) or Oracle client (succeeded on Win7 ultimate 64bit, file win64_11gR1_client.zip, installed with "Runtime" option selected). After client install make sure you can connect. From command line try "tnsping yourtnanamesentry" to check if tnsnames is ok, and after that "sqlplus username/pwd#yourtnsnamesentry" to check if you know valid user and password and really can connect. Memorize or write down oracle home name and path you choosed during install.
Step 2:
Install ODP.NET (I did with file ODAC1110720.zip). Use exactly the same oracle home name, but different path during installation.
Step 3: try connecting with visual studio. For "server name" I used this: "oraclexe:1521/xe". That means I have machine called "oraclexe" which has oracle listener on port 1521, and database with instance name "xe". It's so-called "EZCONNECT" name.
I'm not sure if Step 1 is really needed or not, because maybe step3 really uses just oracle instant client.
I know, it is real pain, but this works. It took me 2 days to connect to oracle, and I had to install almost 1GB of downloaded oracle software. They could and should make that much, much, much, much easier. Like one-click install that just works. This is shame how complicated client install is.
Donwload and install Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Client (11.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) on your development computer.
Delete former references to Oracle.DataAccess on your project.
Add the new reference pointing to this new version.
In Visual Studio, after adding the reference select it, then choose properties to check the setting. Set “Specific Version” true , then check that “Copy Local” is false.
Build your solution using ANY CPU target.
Next, prepare your server. Install Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Client (11.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (x64) . When installing, select the RUNTIME OPTION.
Finally, deploy your solution to your server, as you always use to do. This time it should work.
The trick is to have the same ODAC version (11.2.0.1.0) on both the development and deployment enviroments. This ODAC contains the Oracle.DataAcces.Client which you should reference on your code to access classes like OracleConnection, OracleDataReader, etc.
I had problems because I had developed using ODAC 11.2.0.1.2 (32 bits, latest at this time) but there's no x64 version for this ODAC.
So, always use the latest stable ODAC version which has 32 bits and 64 bits version if you are going to develop on 32 bits and deploy on 64 bits.
Hi Ran into your problem, solution is get a copy of 10204_vista_w2k8_x64_production_client.zip (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/10204-winx64-vista-win2k8-082253.html) run this & it will install the client.
Unpack ODAC10203x64.zip then go to All Programs->OracleHome->Oracle Installation Products & run the Universal Installer. When the installer runs at the Specify Source Location browse to the Stage directory created when you unpacked ODAC10203x64.zip then install as normal.
There is a ODAC112012.zip but this will not talk to Oracle 9 dB's so the above will resolve talking to legacy dB's.
Guy- have a look at this, it may help. Getting Oracle client working is a pain at the best of times, x64 must make it harder.
I had unexpected crashes in my application using Instant Client 10.2.0.3 on Windows Server 2008 x64. After reading a few posts about the lack of support for this platform, I upgraded the client to 11.1.0.7 and it works like a charm !
So I would be surprised if ODP .NET 10.2.0.3 would be stable on Windows Server 2008 x64, if you ever managed to install it. IMHO, your options are :
use another provider (Microsoft+client v11.1, or DataDirect...).
go with the 11.1.0.7 beta version if you dare...
