    9i Database Problem

    Hi
    We created an Oracle 9i database and deployed our reporting application on it. Our vendor insisted to install 8.0.5 client on the server as their application still use 8.0.5 client. Since then, connecting SYS OR SYSTEM is a problem.
    From the DOS prompt
    SQLPLUS/NOLOG
    (You will see another DOS prompt window opened with

    SQL*Plus: Release 8.0.5.0.0 - Production on Thu Mar 11 14:10:57 2004

    SQL> connect sys/*******@vault as sysdba
    ERROR:

    Or

    C:\>set ORACLE_SID=vault
    C:\set ORACLE_HOME=c:\oracle9i

    CONNECT SYS/*****@vault AS SYSDBA

    and still unable to connect with the 9i TNSNAMES.ORA. but you can connect with 8.0.5 as the application owner.

    Any idea.

    check out your sqlnet.ora file and uncomment the "SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES" parameter

    I have uncommented the SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES and still unable to connect as SYS
    Maybe if I use ORADIM to recreate the PWD file I might be able to. but I am skeptical about that 8.0.0 client install on the 9i Server

    Anybody to suggest a solution to this?
    why should one install 8.0.5.client on 9i database server anyway?

    I think thats something that you should ask your vendor. Ask them to specify what exactly is their application using that needs Oracle 8.0.5 client and that is not available in Oracle9i client.

    Hi,

    You can see an init.ora parameter O7_DICTIONARY_ACCESSIBILITY with the default value of FALSE. Switch it to TRUE (the database will restart) and this will solve your problem. I tried it and worked with 8.0.5 client.
