[Quoted] 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
[Quoted] 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
[Quoted] 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
[Quoted] 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
[Quoted] 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
[Quoted] can I get a copy of the older SQL*Net and tha adapters?
Any advice would be gratefully accepted
