dblink through difference oracle versions [message #57189]

Hi everybody,
I've two oracle instances

1) oracle 7.3.3.0.0 (sqlplus 3.3.3.0.0)
2) oracle 9.2.0.1.0

I created a database link from ora73 to ora92

> create public database link foo
connect to system identified by manager
using 'tns_entry';

If I try to execute the following query on ora73

> select * from dba_tablespaces@foo;

I get ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel

Furthermore, If I try to connect directly to ora92 through sql*plus (on ora73) I get this new error

ERROR: ORA-03106: fatal two-task communication protocol error

However, trying tnsping from ora73 to ora92 seems to work well.

I also tried to make the same thing using another oracle version (8.1.7) instead of 9.2.2, and everything works fine!

Maybe I should upgrade to newer version the database linker...

Any suggestion could be useful
Thanks

Daniele

BTW: You *do* know that the latest version of Oracle 7 is version 7.3.4.5.1 (if I'm not mistaken), right? Because, you might as well hitting a bug. If not, check the listener version. Perhaps a V7 listener has problems with Oracle 9i?

I'd suggest you check out Metalink, Oracle's support site, to find out more specific info. One thing I came across was that the ORA-03113 was most often accompanied by a ORA-07445 in the trace file. If so, it would be useful to post the details too.

Thanks for your help Maaher.
Unfortunately, no error log line has been written in the trace file, neither in the alert.log.

Why did you talk about V7 listener? I'm just trying to db linking from ora73 to ora93 using V92 listener.

Maybe, I did not understand what you ment.
Could you shred some light on this?

Thanks regards

Daniele

Well, it was just a long shot. I was merely repeating some very common symptoms I came across. Sorry, but I can't help you any further. I'm far from a DBA and I really suggest you launch an ITar at Metalink (see previous reply). One thing that I'm pretty sure of is that Oracle 7.3.3 isn't supported anymore. Perhaps 7.3.4 is, but I wouldn't bet on it...

Perhaps there are some DBAs around that might help you out.
