Anyone has any experience using application developed using Oracle PL / SQL Web toolkit and deploying it on WLS 10.3 ?
We have an old application created in Oracle PL / SQL Web toolkit which is currently hosted on OAS. The client wants us to migrate the application to Weblogic server (10.3). I wanted to know if anyone has heard of any plug-in or has any experience in doing this ?
Any pointers in this direction will be really helpful.
Thanks.

Did some digging around this is what i found:
There are two ways of getting this migration done without re-writing the code:
Install OHS(with mod PL/SQL) using Oracle SOA Suite 10g(10.1.3.3) and use .
Upgrade HTML DB from its existing version to Apex 3.2 or higher.
Oracle Documentation says there are 2 ways of doing it: In order to run, Oracle Application Express must have access to either the “embedded PL/SQL gateway” or “Oracle HTTP Server and mod_plsql”.
With Oracle 11g documentation website confirms that Oracle HTTP server is still compatible:
“Oracle HTTP Server: Starting with Oracle Database 11g, Oracle HTTP Server is available on a separate media shipped with Oracle Database. In the previous releases, this product was available as a Companion CD component.
Note: To install Oracle HTTP Server, use the Oracle Fusion Middleware Web Tier Utilities 11g (11.1.1.2.0) media or download.”
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32002/whatsnew.htm#sthref10
To set up OHS and mod_plsql this is the official guide (Downloading from OTN and Configuring Oracle HTTP Server)
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10513_01/doc/install.310/e10496/overview.htm#CHDCEJIE
[EDIT:] Let me add this, PL/SQL Web Toolkit & mod_plsql has NOTHING to do with Weblogic. The mod is designed to run on an Apache Instance. Oracle OHS is nothing but modified Apache 1.3. You can dare and try to install modplsql (Or its opensource version mod_owa) on vanilla Apache 2.2 instance but the risk is all yours...

I have BizTalk 2016 server running on my local machine and want to migrate all the settings and applications to remote server. I am trying to implement using BizTalk migration tool provided by Microsoft Announcing: BizTalk Server Migration tool
Would appreciate if provided a sample demo on this application/tool or any other implementation available to migrate.
My advice, don't bother with this tool. I've never even heard of it so...no one is actually using it.... ;)
Anyway, the correct procedure is very simple...
Build new BizTalk Server environment
Deploy your apps
Export .msi and bindings
OR -
Build the apps with BizTalk Deployment Framework
How can i sync sql server 2008-R2 (remopte server and local) using Microsoft Sync Framework?
there are tons of documentations about that framework, but i could n't find a step-by-step guide for synchronization.
i downloaded Sync Framework 2.1 SDK From here
just a framework and after installation there are some dlls in program files folder.
now what should i do and which Tools should i use?
where can i downlaod those tools?
i saw a tool (PUTTY.exe) in one of servers that i have access. what is this tool and is it in relationship with sync framework?
i have two databases(sql server 2008 - R2) : A in Local And B in a Web server.
both of these databases are the same and i just want to sync their data with a scheduled program.
thanks in advance
the documentation includes a walkthrough/tutorial, see:
Tutorial: Synchronizing SQL Server and SQL Express
this should work with SQL Server to SQL Sever as well and you should find the same in the documentation that gets installed with the SDK.
here's a sample using WCF:

I Have an asp.net web service that uses an oracle database. It works when I run it locally but when I upload to the server it gives me ORA-1017. The project on the server is an identical copy of what I have on my local computer, so the password is the same. I tried to install Oracle client 11g r2 because I have been told that the other (don't know which one) oracle client converts the password to uppercase. I don't have much experience with oracle and don't know what is wrong. Any help is appreciated.
The server is Windows Server 2003 32bit, the oracle version is Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production . The oracle server is on another machine.
Update1:
It works now. I reinstalled the oracle client from here. I selected Administrator at the beginning, it seems it matters. There were also 2 clients installed on the server so probably that created problems also, I'm not sure. One client should be enough, it can connect to all oracle versions. This should also work with ODAC as suggested by Andy Arismendi. There is also an (confusing, at least for me) answer here about connecting to oracle that suggests oracle instant client (I think).
So the 3 packages are:
Oracle Client (3rd download link from the top)
ODAC
Oracle Instant Client
You should install only one of these. I don't know the difference between them. It seems they contain similar components.
This doesn't directly address your question but have you looked at ODAC Oracle Data Access Components? This is a .NET library you can use to access the database.
This is a good walkthrough for how to use it. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/dotnet/vs2010-oracle-dev-410461.html
Passwords in versions prior to Oracle 11g were case-insensitive - 11g upwords supports case sensitive passwords. If the server was upgraded from 10g to 11g - the passwords remain case-insensitive till they are changed.
So I'd say try changing the password.

My course requires me to connect to an Oracle database server at the university for my project. I am provided with a url (like oracle.xyz.edu) and username and password. How can I connect to the database from Visual Studio. I have only dealt with SQL Server 2008. I don't know how to go ahead with setting up the database. I tried to install Oracle Instant Client, but could not find a setup exe to install. The instant client download zip consists of a set of files. Where can I find the steps to connect to Oracle database from VS.
Do you need to use the Oracle Instant Client? Or would it be acceptable to you to download and install the full version of the Oracle client?
The full version of the Oracle client is generally what ought to be installed on a developer machine. The Instant Client is a very slimmed down version of the client that is designed for developers to distribute along with their Windows applications on machines that do not have or need any way to access the database other than via the application. As a developer, I'd strongly recommend the full version of the Oracle client if only because it includes various additional utilities like SQL*Plus and SQL*Loader.
The full Oracle client is available for download from OTN on the same page that the database is available. For example, the Oracle 11.2 client for 64-bit Windows is a 615 MB download on the OTN site.
Don't use ODBC. Use ODP.NET (Oracle's Instant Client) Oracle Data Provider for .NET. (Read technical notes in provided link.)
So I developed a web application in ASP.NET and SQL Server 2008. Part of the SQL code I implemented as a .NET assembly (instead of t-sql) because it is performing intense calculations that are better written in C#.
Now I am ready to deploy my application, but I am stuck looking for a hosting company that allows this. Scratch out Discount ASP (see this forum post). I tried emailing other hosting companies and I either get no reply or they say they will not support it.
Any recommendations? What's the big deal with having CLR enabled in SQL Server?
it is disabled by default and most shared hosts will be reluctant to enable it because of the potential added security issues. You could post a request to webhostingtalk. Some options:
Amazon EC2 with SQL Server or SQL Server Express Edition, a VPS (1and1 has a pretty good deal right now) running Express Edition, or of course your own dedicated box
On Amazon EC2 you get your own dedicated box, so you are free to enable / install what you see fit. You could configure a vanilla server then install the SQL Enterprise eval if you wanted.
Your own dedicated box with SQL Express may be your best bet.
