DTS execution from client machine fails connecting to Oracle

I have created a DTS package that pulls data in from Oracle into SQL
Server. When I run it directly on the server (from Enterprise
Manager), it works fine. When I run it from Enterprise Manager on a
client machine that does not have the Oracle client software, it does
not run, giving me the error: "The Oracle client and networking
components were not found...". I was hoping I wouldn't need to have
the client software installed on a machine other than the server where
Sql Server is running. The problem here is that there are a number of
machines from where I would like to execute this DTS package that I do
not want to install/configure the Oracle client software. I don't
quite understand why the configuration of the client is important
here. In my mind, when I am using enterprise manager from a client
machine, I am using it sort of like a terminal services client to
connect to the server. I guess there is a lot more happening in the
background.

Thanks for any feedback,
Marcus

Do you have the proper ODBC driver that you are using in the DTS on the
client machine? same as the one on your server.

The Oracle client is required. So is paying attention to the license
agreement.

I'm having a terrible time installing the Oracle 8.1.7 client on my Windows 2000 version 5.0 SP 4 machine. I did a search of this forum and found this: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=8.1.7+client+install+failure&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&selm=fEhI6.27829%24aW5.355302%40dfw-read.news.verio.net&rnum=1 The problem is that this advice assumes that the s'ware exists on a CD. I downloaded mine from technet.oracle.com. There IS no CD.

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).

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 want to connect to an oracle database from my client pc, OS is win2k or XP. Can I connect to an oracle database without having the full oracle client installed? If so what would be the minimum install on the client to get this connection? Oracle version is 9i? I found the .NET Managed Provider for Oracle and it looked like it still needed the oracle client?

Hi, This might seem like a basic question but I have some doubts, please humour me. I have a client-server application using java where each client on each machine needs to directly communicate directly with the database. Do I need a separate db2 connect on each such machine. Please advice.

Perhaps I should be a bit more specific. When using this code to connect to a remote XML-RPC server (C++, xmlrpc++0.7 library): import xmlrpclib server = xmlrpclib.Server("http://10.10.101.62:29500") print server.Connection_Request("roberto") the Python command line 'hangs' until I kill the server. Then, the correct output is suddenly displayed:

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,...
