Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Designer/2000 needs SQL*Net not Net8 ??
Greetings Gentlebeings,
I have an interesting problem trying to
configure Designer 2000 2.1.1 on an NT4.0 (SP4) client.
I have Oracle 8.0.4 running on a Sun Solaris machine and 8.1.5 running on an
NT 4 server. I have the client software
for 8.0.4 on my client and can use SQL Plus (3.3 and 8.0) to connect to
either server. I am also able to use OEM
to administer either database from my client.
I have been asked to install Designer 2000 2.1.1 to install on a client,
which I've done, and have performed all the
preconfiguration steps on the 8.1.5 database and am at the point of running
the Repository Administration Utility
from the client to set up the repository.
Unfortunately, it seems that Designer 2000 uses SQL*Net not Net8 to
communicate and I do not have I cannot configure
SQL*Net because I get an error message indicating that there are no protocol
adapters installled. I know that the TCP/IP
adapter IS installed because I use it for SQLPlus and OEM, so it seems that
SQL*Net is not recognising the protocol
adapters that work with Net8.
Should I forget about Designer 2000 2.1.1, as it seems thath it may be too
back level for my environment? If so,
which version should I go for? Is it possible to have both SQL*Net and Net8
resident on my client? If so, where
can I get a copy of the older SQL*Net and tha adapters?
Any advice would be gratefully accepted
