I am working with Essbase installed on a Linux box. I am trying to use SQL and OCI to direct load into my cube. It fails and says that it cannot find libociei.so. Someone suggested that I download and install the Oracle Instant Client on my machine. The catch is that my client machine is windows and Essbase wants a Linux DLL. Why would (and how could) my windows client machine play any role in this? It seems like the Oracle Instant Client needs to be installed on the server where Essbase is. The DLL is a compile on Linux, not Windows! Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I currently have an Ubuntu 18.04 environment. For our course, we need to have Visual Studio, ASP.NET, Microsoft SQL Server and IIS installed. One solution was to install the Windows OS on VMware/VirtualBox, but since Windows OS on a virtual machine is a bit heavy on my laptop, is there any other slightly "light" OS that allows me to install the 4 requirements already mention?
As Lex Li says the IIS is Windows only,VS is only available on Windows and Mac. So you could only use the windows.
Here is a workaround, if you are familiar with the VS code, you could use VS code develop asp.net application, then you could use docker to run the asp.net application with IIS.
More details about how to use vs code in the linux, you could refer to below article:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux
About how to use vs code to test application with docker, you could refer to below article:

I had install a Visual studio 2013 ultimate version and oracle 11g express edition (11.2.0.2.0 64 bit) in my pc.
I tried to open a existing project and try to connect the database, but it throw me the error above. as long as I refresh the database OR conn.open(), it will throw me "OraOLEDB.Oracle provider is not registered on the local machine".
Anyone has experience this issues? or any method that might help on this? I have struggle with this problem for few days.
Your comment and suggestion is much appreciated!!!
Looks like you did not install the "OraOLEDB.Oracle" - it is not included by default.
Check your options in Oracle Universal Installer or you can download it from here 64-bit Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) Downloads
Note, since you installed 64 bit version of Oracle, you also have to compile your application as "x64", otherwise it does not work.
I am trying to install the correct Oracle drivers on my development machine. I'm creating an ASP.NET web site and every time I run I get an error saying that says "The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client". I have tried both 32-bit and 64-bit Oracle drivers but have still had no luck. Can someone lead me to a link for the drivers I need based on my specs?
I'm using Windows 8 64-bit. The database is Oracle 11.2.0.2.0 - 64 bit.
The ODAC112021Xcopy_x64.zip might give you the dll's and client you'll need. Take a look at this previous answer for more detail about deployment of the application.
I wrote a windows desktop tool that is supposed to read / write files to a unix machine. The problem is that I don't have a unix machine to test it on.
Is there something I can install on my windows machine that will mimic a remote unix machine and let me test my application?
Installed VMWare player. In VMWare player installed Lubunto. Works perfectly.
I have a new development machine Windows 7 x64 and am writing an MVC3 application that targets an Oracle database. I have tried everything that I know of to get it running with no success.
Previously, I was developing on a Win7 x32 box and could debug fine locally, but was unable to deploy and run it on a Win2008 x64 Server despite having ODP.Net and 11g Client installed.
"Could not load file or assembly 'Oracle.DataAccess' or one of its
dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect
format"
On my new x64 machine, I can build the project but when i try to run it in via the IDE I get:
"The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client"
I am at a complete loss.
Does anyone have a similar setup that could share detailed instructions of what to install where and how to to reference Oracle.DataAccess in such a way that I can debug in the IDE on my x64 box, and also deploy to x64 server?
It should not have to be this difficult.
I do have this running on Windows 7x64 with the Oracle 11g R2 client that comes with the ODAC installation here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/dotnet/index-085163.html
Make sure you have the x64 version installed locally, and you may have to do the uninstall-reboot-reinstall-reboot tango. I also had weird problems getting it to see TNSNAMES entries and had to go with EZCONNECT strings, but that's not your problem.
In fact, I've also gotten it working on x64 using the 32 bit EF beta and it works fine:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/dotnet/downloads/oracleefbeta-302521.html
Although I don't think the EF implementatinon is 100% ready for prime time yet (we ended up using the DevArt driver instead because it had more reliable support for computed fields - we never did get Computed or Identity Timestamps working in ODP.NET EF Beta, although oddly Primary Key NUMBER fields populated by triggers did work.)
I didn't have to do anything special, and I didn't have to do anything special on the server side either (with both 10g and 11gR2).
So I finally figured it out. Here is what I did step-by-step:
On my Win7 x64 development machine I removed all Oracle products in an attempt to start from scratch (including manually deleting registry keys and files/folders)
I installed "Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Client (11.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (x64) " ON BOTH the dev machine and production IIS server
I selected the RUNTIME option for the installation
During my first attempt the installation complained of not enough room in the PATH
environment variable so I had to cancel the install, remove some path values (which a replaced after the install completed
I installed to C:\oracle was my base path and client_x64 was my HOME so it installed to C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\client_x64
I then installed "64-bit ODAC 11.2 Release 3 (11.2.0.2.1) for Windows x64" on BOTH the dev and production mahcines.
install.bat odp.net4 c:\oracle\odac11.2.x64 odac112x64
The above statement creates a new home named odac112x64
At this point I built a simple console app using the following setup
Added reference to Oracle.DataAccess.dll located in C:\oracle\odac11.2.x64\odp.net\bin\4
Set CopyLocal = FALSE for the Oracle.DataAccess reference
Set the application to build for "ANY PROCESSOR"
The app connected to my oracle database and returned records on both machines
I then created a sample MVC website project with the same connection code as the console app.
When I ran it locally in the IDE it threw an error:
"Could not load file or assembly 'Oracle.DataAccess,
Version=4.112.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342'
or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."
I believe this is because the IDE is 32bit and could not load a 64bit Oracle.DataAccess
I published that exact code to the production server and it ran successfully
At this point my only problem is getting it to run locally for development purposes
I installed "ODAC 11.2 Release 3 (11.2.0.2.1) with Xcopy Deployment" which is the x32 version of ODP.NET
install.bat odp.net4 c:\oracle\odac11.2.x32 odac112x32
When I re-ran the MVC website project locally it worked as expected!
UPDATED FOLLOW-UP INFORMATION #1:
After getting this to work I attempted to apply the same steps to another server and it failed. The problem was that "Allow 32-bit Applications" was set to TRUE in the application pool. DISABLING 32-bit apps (only allowing 64bit) resolved the problem on the new machine.
UPDATED FOLLOW-UP INFORMATION #2:
The ODAC installation on the new machine failed to place the installation and bin directory in the environment path (I hate Oracle). Once that was added, all was running as desired.
I have not worked with ODP.NET for quite some time, so I am running from memory of issues I had when I last used it.
The ODP.NET bits have to be installed on the server (or at least deployed, although I am not sure how that is accomplished off hand). The actual client in ODP.NET is the same Java libraries used for Oracle access. If installed, then you have some type of configuration error or permissions issue with using the underlying Java libraries.
I am not sure what the IDE message is about, however.
