Cannot create new Data Source - Oracle ODBC does not show in System DSN

On Windows 7 x64, Installed Oracle 10g to use ODBC to connect to Oracle database but am not able to create new data source as Oracle ODBC does not show in System DSN.... only shows SQL server etc etc...

If you installed 32-bit Database Client, try the 32-bit ODBC admin tool: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
Note that 10.2.0.5 is the earliest "10g" version supported on Win 7.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/relnotes.102/b15680/toc.htm#BABEBBJF
As an alternative, try the 11.2 Instant Client.

Instant Client on 64-bit Windows 7: Driver does not appear in System DSN

Instant Client on 64-bit Windows 7: Driver does not appear in System DSN tab when creating a new Data source.
What I did so far:
I downloaded the basic and odbc zips for Window 64-bit.
Unzipped the basic zip.
Unzipped the odbc zip to the same directory.
Added the dir path to the System Environment Variable called Path.
Double-clicked on the odbc_install.exe to run it from Windows Explorer.
Then I tried to add the driver to create a new data source but it does not appear in the list of drivers.
From a cmd window, I navigated to the instant client directory and tried to run odbc_install again.
I got the message: Oracle ODBC Driver with same name already exists.
What am I missing?

hello, I did it like that you say,but the result also is "oracle odbc driver with same name already exists". I don't kown what can I do it ,Thank you!

Authorization Issue on creating New Data Source

Hi Experts,
   We met several issues after we upgrade one of our BW system from 3.5 to BI 7.0.
   We have a customized role for our BW developer which name is SYN:BC_USER_FOR_BWDEVELOPER. When we assign this role to the users, the users should have access to create new data source, create/change on ODS, infocube, infobjects,etc. The developers also need access transformation roles and BEX Web Templates.
   After we upgrade our BW system from 3.5 to BI7.0. All the access has been denied. Then I tried to added many authorization objects in the developer role, then the developer role can access all the data source except transformation rules.
The following is the authorization objects which I have added:
S_RS_BCS
S_RS_BITM
S_RS_COMP
S_RS_COMP1
S_RS_CTT
S_RS_ERPT
S_RS_HIER
S_RS_ICBE
S_RS_IOBJ
S_RS_IOMAD
S_RS_ISET
S_RS_ISOUR
S_RS_ISRUM
S_RS_THJT
S_RS_TOOLS
S_RS_UOM.
S_RS_DS
S_RS_ISNEW
S_RS_DTP
S_RS_TR
S_RS_PC
S_RS_OHDST
S_RS_DAS
S_RS_BTMP.
I am not sure whether there are any other authorization objects or sth should be added to the developer role, could you give me some suggestions?
Thanks,

When i execute create transformation rules with the account which already have bw_all role, the system shows you have no authorization.
The following is the error after i execute /nsu53:
Authorization check failed.

Created new data source, does not appear in the list

Hi I created a new data source using information provided in http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/apis/pdstutorial/textPDS/PDS_1.html. But the new data source I created does not appear in the wizard. Could some body give me a clue? Can somebody point me to more detailed documentation on how to integrate a new data source into Reports Builder?
thanks
Srinivas

Hi
I desperately need help to troubleshoot why my data source is not appearing in the list eventhough I feel I have done things as per the tutorial. From reading the tutotial I am not clear -
- If specifying an icon is mandatory. If I don't specify an icon my datasource should still appear right?..without an icon?
- It is mandatory to implement the editor. I have hard coded things because I don't foresee any interaction by a user with the data source. There is just one column which WILL always appear if this DS is chosen.
- Finally in the integration instructions(http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/apis/pdstutorial/textPDS/PDS_5.html) they mention that the classes have to be compiled with "report build" , is that a tool?
thanks
Srinivas

How to register 10g ODBC driver list in the Create New Data Source window

Hi
I've checked the dll for the odbc is in the correct home path. However, i don't see the list of the driver when i try to create a new data source. Is there a way besides reinstall the client again.
Thanks
Rgds
Ung

Hi Joe,
According to your description, after you run C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe, Access driver is not displayed when you expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>ODBC>ODBCINST.INI node.
The issue is caused by wrong path of odbccad32, please make sure that you are using Administrator account or you have administrative privileges, then refer to the following steps:
Go to Control Panel.
Click Administrative Tools.
Right-click Data Sources(ODBC) to open Properties dialog box.
In Target text box, type %windir%\syswow64\odbcad32.exe
In Start in text box, type %windir%\syswow64, then click OK to save the settings.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Wendy Fu

Creating new Data Source Error - Database connection Failed

Successfully installed and configured 11.1.1.3.0. Planning and Essbase dev.
Went to Workspace > Administer > Classing Planning Administration > Manage Data Sources > Create Data Source.
Entered all info about the application database , etc. Getting error "The database connection failed" (I was able to connect with no problem during the install)
SQL server 2005 is on the same physical server.
The diagnostic tool shows database connection passed for planning. A new database was created for the new application.
The server event viewer shows these errors.
"Login failed for user 'xxx-hyperion'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection."
Group Policy Error "The client-side extension could not apply computer policy settings for 'Default Domain Policy {xxx}' because it failed with error code '0x80070003 The system cannot find the path specified.' See trace file for more details. "
The Group Policy client-side extension Group Policy Services failed to execute. Please look for any errors reported earlier by that extension.
Any help is appreciated.

Datasource for the application.
I have created a sql db for this planning application (my datasource). See my first message for more details.
When you create a new planning application, you need to associate it with a data source. Since this is a new install, I don't have any data sources available yet.
So, "To create, edit or delete data sources, click Manage Data Source."
This page lets you validate your connection to the database and essbase server. My essbase server connection validates! The database connection does not validate after I enter all the relevant information.
SCREEN INFO BELOW
Fields displayed with an asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Data Source Name *:
Data Source Description:
Select Database Platform
Microsoft SQL Server
Application Database
Server * :
Port * :
Database *:
User *:
Password *:
Click "Validate Database Connection"
ERROR ---> Database connection failed.
So it does not let me create a data source for my new planning application, so I cannot create a new planning application.
Thanks in advance.

We traced the issue to a new data source that was added were we found that along with the the expected jndi name entry in the jdbc xml file, there were two blank entries:
<jndi-name>weblogic.jdbc.DataSource.EOI</jndi-name>
<jndi-name></jndi-name>
<jndi-name></jndi-name>
The data source was deleted, consoles restarted, the data source recreated and the issue occured again. To get by the issue we had to manually remove the blank tags from the xml file.
We created 2 new data sources, and it only happened on the one. The same data source each time. Additionally, this issue did not occur when these changes were made in our lower (development, qa) regions.
The version is the same in all three regions.
WebLogic Version:
WebLogic Server Temporary Patch for 9324911 Wed Feb 03 22:38:01 PST 2010
WebLogic Server 10.3 Fri Jul 25 16:30:05 EDT 2008 1137967
Is this a known issue? And if so, is there a way to avoid it, other than to start constantly checking the newly created XML files?
Thank you
ted

Yes, this is a common issue and documented in Oracle Docs:
WebLogic Server: Getting "weblogic.common.ResourceException: is already bound" exception with JDBC JNDI name (Doc ID 1154250.1)
The only fix is that you need to remove the empty value entries.

Problem creating new data sources

hi -- I've just created a file DSN data source (Microsoft ODBC for Oracle Driver), and in Crystal, have used the ODBC (RDO) data source type, pointing to the file DSN. (I'm accessing an Oracle 10g database on a Unix server.)
The connection to the database is successful, but when I use the Database Expert to pick the actual object (eg table) that I want the report to access, I get the following strange results:
Not all schemas are visible
For the schemas that are visible, only stored procedures are shown. No tables, views, or anything else.
When I create an Oracle Server data source, all schemas and their objects are visible. The report works fine.
Can someone explain to me why the File DSN is not showing me all schemas and objects?
Thanks,
Carol

All -- Thanks for your suggestions. I probably should have given you more information up front:
- I've already updated the database using Set Datasource Location.
- I've already verified that the database explorer is including views and tables
and is not restricting based on LIKE.
- I did as Sourashree suggested and created a system DSN -- it also only shows
me the stored procedures.
I have successfully created a non-ODBC data source just using the Crystal Reports
data source type of Oracle Server. It works just fine -- tables, views, everything I need
shows up in the explorer. So, my question about the File DSN is really just academic,
out of curiousity (I struggled with it so long I'd like to know why it doesn't work!).
If you can help me out, that would be great. But I see no reason the Oracle Server
data source won't meet our needs.
Thanks,
Carol

Cannot create a data source to local database

I have a Windows 8 PC that I am using for testing purposes to create a desktop application. I have installed a copy of Visual Studio community and SQL Server 2014 Express.
I have created a database and I can use both SSMS and the Tools menu in VS to see and manipulate the database. However what I can't do is create a data source so that I can connect the database to my app.
I have tried a number of methods (including trying to create an ODBC connection) but each time I get an error message indicating that I do not have access rights.
Can someone please help me with connecting my app to my datbase please.

Hi,
You can create a JDBC DataSource using the Visual Administrator GUI as given in the link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/c0/3ad4d5cdc66447a188b582aad537d3/content.htm
In your J2EE Application you can obtain the connection using InitialContext lookup for 'jdbc/<Alias Name>'.
Also please select the correct SQL Engine option

Created a new user profile but it does not show on Login screen or fast sw

I have created a new profile that I want to be an admin profile. The creation of the profile went ok. I can see and edit the profile. When I reboot or logout, the login menu only show the inital profile that I set up when I got the system. The new user id also does not show up when I go to my fast switch menu.
My original user id is set to automatically logon when the system is started. I did try and set the new userid to be the one that started automatically on bootup and then both profiles appeared in the startup menu and fast switching menu.
If I switch back to having my original user id be the id that automatically logs in on bootup then the new user id disappears again from the login and fast switch menus. I really don't want to startup on my admin id.
Any ideas?

No not yet. I am still researching the problem. I was hoping someone in the discussion forum could help. Let me know if you find a resolution.

Oracle.DataAccess does not show up in VS 2008 list of data providers

Hi
I have an application which uses VB .Net 3.5 on Win 7 64bit machine with Oracle11gR2 64bit client in the machine.
The problem I am facing is that Oracle.DataAccess does not come up under the Data provider drop downs in VS 2008.
I have checked that the dll is actually present in C:\oracle\11gR2client64bit\odp.net\bin\2.x and I can also see the installed entry for the Dll in C:\Windows\assembly with the correct version.
Am I missing something?
Any help would be appreciated, I have been stuck on this for 8 days now.

I am installing snow leopard on a new drive unformatted but it does not show the disk to install it on.? do i need to format first with one partition?

I have installed a new drive on my mac book and more ram but the snow leopard install asks which to install the system on but then does not show the drive.
do I have to partition it and name it first. -- if so just one partition?

Do this:
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
When formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the OS X installation.

I have an old ipod shuffle and I cannot get it to sync because it does not show up in my devices list...? HELP!!!

I cannot get my old ipod shuffle to sync because it does not show up in my devices list!!! I have tried letting it die and then plugging it in and still no success!! HELP!!!

To sync via wifi you first have to connect to computer via USB and check the box in the Summary pane for the iPod in iTunes that sync via wifi.
Note you can only sync with one computer. If you change syncing computers you have to restore the iPod on the second computer.
