Trouble setting up with Oracle Client

[txblackbird]

Hello All,

I am trying to set up my Windows 10 laptop using the Oracle client with PLD. I have tried the 11g and 12 clients but get the same results. Basically, PLD never really picks up my Oracle environment. I am not currently attempting to sign in at start up, rather cancelling and then going to Help | Support and looking at information there. I have verified that there is more information in the registry than what PLD is seeing.

I tried looking at other threads but didn't really find anything that matched what I was experiencing. I have also tried setting my Oracle Home folder manually via Preferences and that didn't seem to help either. So I am open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Check that SQL*Plus and tnsping are working before using PLD.
What options did you use in the client setup?

 

[txblackbird]

I have sqlplus working and verified with both tnsping and actually logging in to my server.

When I installed the client I selected the administrator option.

However,I think the problem was that I did not have the latest version. I am trying to match my work set up on my laptop so I have been comparing between the two systems. I noticed that my laptop version was "Version 11.0.6.1776" but my work version as "Version 11.0.6.1796". So I downloaded the latest version and it appears to be working properly now.

Thanks for the help.
