Here are a couple of thoughts: - path variables point to incorrect Oracle client Add an environment variable on your machine: ORACLE_HOME=C:\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1 - tnsnames.ora does not exist or has incorrect connection details Add an environment variable: TNS_ADMIN=C:\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\network\admin
The Oracle modules will use the 2 environment variables to find the libraries and tnsnames.ora file. I notice in your TNSNAMES you have 2 ORCL entries. I would change one to ORCL.EXTRA (as you really shouldn't have 2 entries with the same name). I have found it best to use an entry with the same name as the database (something like the following). MYDATA = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = mydata) ) ) Fred -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Kathy Morris Sent: Monday, March 07, 2011 12:01 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Oracle 11G and AR 7.6.04 64Bit Install issues ** Also - during the install I noticed the system does not proceed when the message below is on the screen. arserver.validation.dbauser.input.validateCLIclientlibrary -----Original Message----- In a message dated 3/7/2011 3:01:42 A.M.

Whilst looking through the installer logs, it seemed that the BMC installer gets confused between using either the Service Name or the SID string as SID to connect to Oracle... and since the default install of Oracle sets different values for these, this error comes up... Since I'm not an Oracle dba and did not have more time available to battle with a "research installation", I had to abandon the install at that point. HTH.

I have a 64-bit laptop. I installed 11g Oracle on Windows 7. I am trying to install AR 7.6.04 on Oracle 11g. During the AR install, I selected 64 bit. I am getting error messages and cannot proceed with the installation of AR System. The database seems to be running successfully. During the install when I connect to the database using DBMS account, I get a warning message that says: Possible causes - path variables point to incorrect Oracle client - tnsnames.ora does not exist or has incorrect connection details - missing 64 bit oracle client libraries My system path is: C:\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\bin;C:\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\lib; My tnsnames.ora displays: ORCL = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = orcl.Servername) ) ) ORCL = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.x.x)(PORT = 1521)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = orcl.Servername) (SID = orcl) [ (GLOBAL_NAME=DatabaseName) ] ) )
