Connecting with 10g client fails

[Pim-Jan Veenendaal]

A very simple com+ test application with DOA 4.0.3 cannot connect to an Oracle 10g server using an Oracle 10g client. The exception says "Initialization error, SQL*Net not property installed, OracleHomeKey: SOFTWARE\ORACLE, OracleHomeDir: ". I read the source code but cannot figure it out that easily.

All other Oracle tools and applications on that machine are fine. The test application is running just fine on my own workstation using the 8i client.

I noticed some differences in the registry. Directly under the Software\Oracle key are no subkeys like "ALL_HOMES" and "HOME0".

Does anyone know how to fix this?

For Oracle10g support you will need to upgrade to the current 4.0.7 release. Version 4.0.3 will indeed not work.

Thanks, I could have read it in the version history notes.

I will ask my manager to purchase a new license. Is this the 4.0.9 version or the promised and upcoming 4.1 version?

You can upgrade to 4.0.7 without any additional costs. This is not the upcoming 4.1 release.
