Oracle Initialization Failed -- likely missing libraries/dlls

[Former Member]

Hi,

I've installed MDM 5.0 server with oracle 10.2 as the database on Windows 2003 server.

When I try to create a repository for the first time I'm facing the following issue "Error initializing database engine"

The log says:

***************************************************

Oracle Initialization Failed -- likely missing libraries/dlls

OCI Init

ERROR CODE=0 |||

Last CMD:

**************************************************

I'm able to connect to the database through SQL plus also the tnsping tests are successfull.

Please let me know your ides to resolve this issue.

Hi All,

As we have two different versions of oracle (32 bit and 64 bit) in the same host. After restarting the server, the OCI.DLL of the oracle client (either 32bit or 64bit) loads depending on which version of the database is started first.

In our case when I restarted the host, I've started the 32 bit database and that loaded the 32 bit OCI.DLL file and which is the cause for the issue.

Hi Varadharajan,

Can you provide the detailed steps performed to resolve the issue.

Even we have installed MDM 7.1 SP 10 Oracle 11.2.0, But we have 3 SAP instance running on the system:

1) SRM:

Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production

2) CRM:

Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.2.0 - 64bit

3) MDM:

Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production

when the server is restarted the MDM is not able to connect to the Database.

Thanks to provide the exact steps of execution.

Hello

Please be aware that MDM is using OCI library to access

ORACLE DBMS.

Make sure OCI library is propely installed.

Best Regards.
