Batch Command to Switch between two Oracle Homes

1 New Member
I have two Oracle Homes (9iR2 & 10g R2) installed on Windows Server 2003. I have jobs running on my 9i database for backup and they are now failing because the default home is now10g as that was installed last. I need a command which will switch my Oracle Home to 9i so I can run these jobs. I can use the Universal Installer to change homes, but I need a batch command so I do not need to do so manually. I have tried ohsel -switch "Oracle Home Name" but it returns the message, “only one home installed". I have also tried SET ORACLE_SID=SID and input the SID for my 9i home, and while it does not return an error message I find I am still in the 10g home. Anyone know how to resolve?

So, after reading some messages about os.system, and looking at the popen stuff and trying it a bit, I still have not found a way to keep a command window open for several commands (on Windows 2000/XP), while seeing the normal output in a command window. All I want to do is do what a batch file does, but I want to actually have functions and associative arrays and all the other niceties of python. What's the deal with that? I thought...

Hi. We had a PC that had Oracle Client 8.0.5 and 8.1.7 installed in Default_Home (c:\orant) and Default_Home1 (c:\oracle). A third party package, installed certain components of Oracle Client 9.0.2 in another Oracle Home which it called ora92 (c:\oracle\ora92). Since we no longer need Clients 8.0.5 and 8.1.7, I decided to uninstall all Oracle clients and install Oracle client 9.0.2. I used Oracle installer to

I have a windows batch file that executes a SQL Server bcp command. I would like to obtain a return code if the bcp command fails. However, I cannot seem to find the return code (if any) for bcp. For example, if the bcp command is improperly formatted, or has a bad password, I want the batch file to return an error. Right now, my batch file simply executes and returns success, even when the bcp command fails. Has anyone run into this...

I'm running a batch file using the Shell function. When I manually launch the batch file, the window remains open, since I use the 'pause' statement. But when I launch the batch file within Access, the Shell window becomes a blip on the screen and then is gone. Why does the Shell window not stay open on the screen? I want to visually verify that the batch file is functioning properly and then close the window myself. Am I missing a...

I need help closing a CMD window when it is executed from Access. 1) The batch file is called from Access. 2) Access closes, 3) the batch runs a copy of the access database (creating a backup) 4) Once the copy is complete, the batch file opens the Access database again 5) EXIT should close out the cmd window but it does not execute that line

Hi, I have been developing Web Services in VS2005. Usually I use the built in server in VS2005 to test and develop the Web Service. However I now want to make this Web Service available to other computers (and applications) in our local company network. When the service runs it accesses an Oracle database and pulls some data out. It works fine when running in VS2005 server. To allow the Web Service to

Hi. I have a number of batch jobs that are ran nightly on our Windows 2000 based Oracle 8.1.7 (soon to be 9i) server. I have these designed just right, so the Windows Scheduled Tasks runs them and then a parser goes through the output and, in case of errors, sends me a page... The database is our financial system which requires users to login using Oracle based user ID / Password.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
