I've recently started to learn about Oracle WebCenter.
I'm running Oracle UCM on VBox(downloaded from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/webcenter/downloads/owcs-portalfw-vbox-284132.html) and what I'm trying to do is create Content Repository Connection in the JDeveloper installed on my Host OS, but such option is simply missing from the menu. I mean there are few types of connections, but JDeveloper in VBox has more of them.
Creating Content Repository connection in the VBox works fine, but unfortunetly the whole OS in the VBox works very slowly.
Does anybody have any ideas how to fix this problem, so I could add Content Repository connection in the Windows OS?
Thanks in advance.
You need to install the WebCenter extension for JDeveloper - use help->check for update in JDeveloper and check the Fusion Update center.

So I downloaded Oracle 19c DBMS. Then I downloaded Sql Developer. When I try to add a new connection, I get the message
How do I get past this. I have seen some other threads on this but none of the solutions that I understand seem to fix it. I need to keep the connection type as local. Is there somewhere I can go and just adjust this path?
EDIT
I used just a basic connection and the name database name in the service name box and it worked. The initial setup instructions I had were dated and not set up for 19c. One of the comments in the answer below suggested this.
For 20.4.1 and bequeath connection you must have a 21c instant client as we're using a 21c jdbc driver.
If you're not on Linux, that means you'll need version 20.4.0 so you can use a 19c Instant Client.
Windows 21c Clients should be available later this Summer.
Edit/Update: Version 21.2.1 now supports 19c and 21c Clients. 21c Instant Clients are rolling out across supported platforms. Currently avail for Linux, soon to include Windows and OS X.
In my case, the DB connection changed from Network Alias to Connect Identifier post a company pushed update, simple fix after hours /days of trouble shooting.

Ran into this error with Oracle SQL Developer and the fix for us was to in Oracle SQL Developer:
Tools -> Preferences
In the tree view on the left Expand Database and select Advanced
In Use Oracle Client click Configure...
Set the path to your Oracle home (should looks something like C:\Path\To\Oracle\19.n)
Check the Use Oracle Client box
In the Tnsnames Directory set it to the folder containing the tnsnames.ora file (should looks something like C:\Path\To\Oracle\19.n\network\admin)
Click OK
Relaunch Oracle SQL Developer
So I have successfully installed Oracle DB 19c and connected it to Oracle SQL Developer. I am able to create tables and run queries. Furthermore, I can connect to ADW with both python and SQL Developer and any changes that I commit are seen in all locations. I am trying to connect the ADW database to Power BI. I am running all this on a personal Windows 10 Pro laptop with plenty of SSD & RAM.
In a new window of Power BI I click Get Data and then Oracle Database followed by Connect. When I do this I get a pop up that says:
The recommended provider ('Oracle.DataAccess.Client') is not installed. You can continue with your current provider, however it has been deprecated and may not work correctly.
I clock OK. Enter my Server as the TNS Name that I have used for my python and SQL Developer instances. In my ADW database, I have a table called TEST. It's a simple table with 1 column with the years 2015 through 2020 in it. Been using this to test to see if things are working. So I click on the DirectQuery and run the SQL statement SELECT * FROM TEST under the Advanced options menu and select OK. A sign in window pops up and I select the Database table and enter my correct ADW username and password. The same one that I can use to access this table from SQL Developer and then select Connect. When I do, I get this error:
Details: "The provider being used is deprecated: 'System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater.'. Please visit https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=272376 to install the official provider."
So I go to the website and download the ODAC122011_x64 file from Oracle and unzip it. When I double click the setup.exe file inside the directory I get a yes/no user control account menu and I select yes and then a command prompt window flashes very quickly and then nothing happens. I ran a super slow motion capture from my phone to capture what the command window showed and below is what I see:
Starting Oracle Universal Starter...
Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 color Higher than 256 . Actual 4294967290 Passed
Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from C:\Users\<my username>\AppData\Local\Temp\OraInstall2020 09:20_09-04 {???}
Please wait .._
It does nothing after this I have tried running the oui.exe file under the install subdirectory and get nothing and I have tried running the install.exe file in Oracle Universal Installer that I acquired when installing Oracle DB 19c and I get the following error when I target the install.exe file for installation:
OUI-10118:C/Users/{my username}/Downloads/ODAC122011_x64/Setup.exe is either a directory or a corrupt file. Specify a valid filename.
This is a file that I just directly downloaded from Oracle's website and unzipped to a directory with no spaces in the directory location. I have the latest version of Java installed (JDK 15).
I am not sure the proper work around here. Why can't I get my Power BI to connect to my Oracle ADW table using the methods described in this article. Those are the instructions that I used. It appears that I need this ODAC application but I don't understand why it won't install.
Can anyone help me resolve this issue? Thanks!
Edit: I am using 64-bit on each application.
Update: Still having issues. I checked the log and this is what I am seeing:
Using paramFile:
C:\Oracle\Oracle_PowerBI_ODAC\ODAC122011_x64\install\oraparam.ini

the client version need not match the server version, Removing all other versions, and making sure that I had the x64 version,
You need the latest ODP.net library to use Oracle. Please download it here:http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/dotnet/utilsoft-086879.html
I figured out the solution after reviewing this post. Apparently having over 2TB of free space on a hard drive causes this problem. You have to go into command prompt and create a temporary file to get your free space under 2TBs using something like this:
fsutil file createnew temp_1TB_file 1200000000000
Run the setup.exe again and then delete the temp file after.
Update: After doing all this I still was running into the same issues in Power BI. Then I read the troubleshooting notes from this page more closely and realized that I might have found the problem when it said:
If you downloaded Power BI Desktop from the Microsoft Store, you might be unable to connect to Oracle databases because of an Oracle driver issue.
I uninstalled the PowerBI Desktop that I had installed from Microsoft Store and installed it from the download from its website and tried connecting to Oracle ADW again through PowerBI and IT WORKED!!! So much troubleshooting but it finally works!
I'm unable to create a new database connection on SQL Oracle Developer because the login window to enter the details do not appear. Only the login windows for "Oracle NoSQL Connections" and "Database Schema Service Connections" appear.
I've tried re-installing the developer but that doesn't seem to help. I'm using a mac and have JDK 8 installed. I'm fairly new to SQL and coding in general so any help would be appreciated.
Let's try this - it will usually do the trick.
Open and bash terminal, and cd to your home directory.
Then, cd to .sqldeveloper
You should see one or more system directories, appended with the version number of SQL Developer - these directories hold the settings, connections, etc for your copy of SQLDev.
Rename that directory. Then try starting SQL Developer.
Two additional things
i'm assuming you have Oracle JDK and not OpenJDK - OpenJDK isn't supported
i'm assuming you have a recent version of SQL Developer (20.2 is latest)
I had to recently re-install OS X on my MBP and am in the process of re-installing all of my apps. One app that worked just fine in the past, but is now giving me errors is Oracle SQL Developer and I can't for the life of me figure out what I am missing.
Here's what I have tried:
Downloaded and installed SQL Developer on my machine.
Downloaded the Instant Client related files - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/intel-macsoft-096467.html (I installed all of the 64 bit related stuff on this page - Im on a 64 bit machine), combined it into one folder and moved it my /usr folder using this guide: installing Oracle Instantclient on Mac OS/X without setting environment variables?
I also installed this the JDK: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
I also set up my TNSNames.ora file and copied it to my /etc folder (This is required on a mac)
Here's my problem - If I attempt to connect to my Oracle instance using the above, it throws this error:
An error was encountered performing the requested operation:
no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path
Vendor code 0
This occurs whether I use basic or the TNS connection type.
So my question to my fellow developers is - Am I missing something in terms of the install above? I have tried googling for that particular error message and not found anything useful. At first glance, it seems like SQL Developer is looking for some file.
Thanks in advance for your answers!
EDIT - The version of SQL Developer that I am trying to install is 3.1.07 and I am trying to connect to an 11G instance.
Go to Tools > Preferences > Database > Advanced, and make sure Use OCI/Thick driver is un-checked.
Once done, try creating a connection and test. I also think you might be running an in-compatible version of Java in your newly installed OS X, so try installing JDK 1.6.0_11 or above, if the solution doesn't work.
I want to install access 1.x to open a mdb file of that type, but I can't install the program and it give me this error:
"install a Windows for Workgroups driver"
Somewhere in internet I find that you need to install from a diskette the odbc:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Microsoft/Development/MS_Access/Q_22103622.html
but I can't find that diskette nowhere!
What can I do? how can I open this mdb file?
Well, today early morning, i was trying again with this and found that you can import the database using access 2007, like it written in this forum:
http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/re-unable-open-access-1-x-file-t1068111.html
"Create a blank database and then use the import feature in the Tables to import the old mdb object.
You may need to do little reformatting but you will see most of the data."
It add you the tables in the new database.
Thanks for the help :D.
