MSDTC Error

  • When I start the MSDTC service I get the following error on the server:

    Unable to initialze the dynamix link library c:\WinNT\System32\ociw32.dll The process terminated abnormaly.

    Has anybody seen this before. I can ok the messge and the service starts. Is ociw32.dll a SQL Server dll? -JG

  • Here's a link from Microsoft about setting up Microsoft Transaction Server. ociw32.dll, according to the document, belongs to Oracle:

    http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/default.asp?url=/TechNet/archive/transsrv/setup.asp

    quote:


    Oracle Clients on Windows NT or Windows 95

    If your Microsoft Transaction Server components access an Oracle database on a remote Windows NT or Unix system, ensure that the following Oracle client software is present on your Microsoft Transaction Server system. Ensure that the client software is at the proper version level. The table at the beginning of the Required Software section specifies which versions are needed.

    Component

    Oracle OCIW32.DLL

    Oracle SQLLIB18.DLL

    Oracle XA73.DLL

  • Did you ever setup a linked server or a DTS package that referenced an Oracle databse. If so and you removed the client that reference is being fired.
