Question

SQL Agent and Oracle Error

Asked by: Trancedified

This is the error I'm getting:

Oracle client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3.3 or later client software installation.    Provider is unable to function until these components are installed.

I only have ODAC installed and that's all, not the full-blown Oracle database. This is on a Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) Developing on this server was fine, I could run packages within BIDS, create a deployment utility and actually run the package from Integration Services, it's when creating a SQL Agent Job and trying to execute the steps where I get the above error.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

When you run it under SQL Agent it runs under the SQL Agent service account. Set the SQL Agent service account (start / run / services.msc) to your account and it will probably work.

I assume this is all on the one computer (SQL Agent is running on the the same server you are developing on)

nmcdermaid:

I found my solution. Since I was installing oracle client and ODAC onto a production server, a reboot is a no-no at the moment. So after reading a few forum posts. We did a scheduled reboot of the production server, and that fixed everything.

What's odd is the Oracle client and ODAC installations never asked for a reboot at the end of the install.

Thanks for replying though.
