Hey there,

thanks for the release of this promising tool.
I've downloaded it and installed it. At the start of the tool, an error dialog is shown that stated, that there is no access to my oracle home directory.
As the CallStack shows, there was no access to the tnsnames.ora.
I've set extra permissions to everyone but no success, the error message still pops up.

Do you need some extra information? Do you create some log files that i can send you?

I would like to have some testing on the tool.

Thanks in advance,
Joerg

    Hi Joerg,

    Thanks for your post.

    Taking you up on your offer for extra info:
    1. Do you have permissions set for your sqlnet.ora?
    2. Can you tell us the path of where your tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files are kept?
    3. Can you connect to your databases via manual connection?

    Thanks,

    Alice.

    The tnsnames.ora file is at path
    C:\Oracle\product\11.1.0\client_1\Network\Admin
    SQL developer tool and our .Net application works fine with the tnsnames.

    The stack trace is
    Application does not support just-in-time (JIT)
    debugging. See the end of this message for details.

    Thanks for the stack trace.

    Do you have multiple entries in your tnsnames.ora with the same identifier?

    Answers to your questions:
    1. Do you have permissions set for your sqlnet.ora?
    For testing I've set permissions for everyone. This should not be a problem.
    2. Can you tell us the path of where your tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files are kept?
    My Files are in the first home C:\ORANT\NETWORK\ADMIN.
    3. Can you connect to your databases via manual connection?
    Yes, I've no problems using .net Code or Tools like Sql Developer.

    I've played with your Dlls to reproduce the error.
    The code fills a Comboxbox with the Values of "RedGate.Oracle.Utils.GetOracleHomes()" and selects the first index.
    This causes the call to the method "RedGate.Oracle.Utils.TNSNames.GetTNSEntries(string oracleHome)" (in my case c:\orant\network\admin).
    When I call this method via my own application, the error could be reproduced.
    When I try to call the method "GetTNSEntriesFromFile" with the path "c:\orant\network\admin\tnsnames.ora" manually, the list is successfully filled.
    Maybe there is an error with the path in the function "GetTNSEntries" in combination with my first home?

    Please let me know if this helps.

    Best regards,
    Joerg

    UPDATE:
    I've tried to check what goes on in the named methods with reflector.
    It seems that the method "GetTNSEntriesFromFile" gets the value of the registry key from my first Oracle Home without the path to the tnsnames.ora and tries to open the path instead of the file.
    Maybe thats the problem with the "access denied" error.

    UPDATE2:
    I've updated the TNS_ADMIN Key to include the file "tnsnames.ora" and then the app starts up.
    Maybe I've a corrupted regitry keys but the problem is solved so far.

    I am getting the same error. I went through my tns file and there is no duplicate keys. I am curious as to what was meant by updating the TNS_ADMIN key to include the name of the file? Where is this key located?

    I meant the registry key "TNS_ADMIN" in "HKLM\Software\Oracle\KEY_YourOracleHome" to include the complete path to the tnsnames.ora.
    In my case, there was only the path to the folder "c:\orant\network".
    After I added the path to filename, the key value is now "c:\orant\network\admin\tnsnames.ora".
