Heterogeneous Services & Oracle Generic Connectivity For DBF file?

Dear All,
Can We Create dbf file directly means without using CSV file?
Can we use Heterogeneous Services & Oracle Generic Connectivity for creating dbase DBF file or Writing in dbase DBF file?
I have used it for Excel and Access for connectivity with Oracle 9i
but I dont have any idea about dbase DBF file?
Any help in this reagards will be highly appriciatalble.
Thanks
Rana

HSODBC/DG4ODBC is generic connectivity and you find the generic setup in:
Note.109730.1 How to setup generic connectivity (HSODBC) for 32 bit Windows (Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003)
There is nothing sepcial for DBF's. Just define a system ODBC DSN using a DBASE ODBC driver pointing to the DBF file.
The rest is absolute similar to the note.
If you have already a running HSODBC/DG4ODBC the quickest test is to just define a new system dsn for the DBF file, then change in the init>hsodbc/dg4odbc>.ora file the HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO parameter pointing to the newly created system DSN. Last step is within the Oracle db to define a database link.

I wouldn't think so these days ... however, you could try posting this in the heterogeneous services - which is somewhere on OTN.
If it we me, I'd convert the DBF into something easier to use with Oracle : like XML or CSV

How do I start on Oracle Generic Connectivity?

Hi, I am new to Oracle and can i know where i can get info on setting up Oracle Generic Connectivity to connect Oracle with non-Oracle databases?

The documentation is a good place to start. The relevant
link:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96544/gencon.htm#1656
For supplementary material do a google search on
oracle generic heterogeneous services.
Hope this helps.

Oracle Generic Connectivity in Oracle Application Ser ver 10g.

Hi Tak and All!
With the help of your great guidence, I have connect the Generic Connectivty for MS Access and MS Excel successfully in client server environment.
The topology was..
Host A = Custom installation of Oracle9i database + MS ACCESS
Host B = Oracle 9i Database (Complete)
But...
tell me How the Oracle Generic Connectivity will connect in ORACLE APPLICATION SERVER. What will be the concept and topology? Because the client only have the URL which is used for getting application on browser.
I will be extremely thankful.
All these forums always help me.
Thanks
Rana Adnan

It depends. Oracle Reports can connect to Oracle and non-Oracle databases directly, without using Generic Connectivity.
Your Forms application would presumably connect only to the Oracle database. The Oracle database might well connect to other Oracle and non-Oracle databases via database links. The non-Oracle database links would utilize Generic Connectivity.
Given the three machines A, B, and C
A could connect to B and B could connect to C
A could connect to C for reporting queries

Using Oracle Generic Connectivity to connect from Oracle to Microsoft Acces

I am trying to connect from Oracle to Access using ODBC. I followed the steps described in oracle documentation but was not sucessful. Could you plase take a look at my code let me know where I went wrong. It is as follows :
1)Created an ODBC connection for Microsoft Access called 'MSACCESS' (System DSN). And associated accdb1.mdb to this ODBC connection.
2)Created a table called orders in accdb1.mdb.
3)Added the foll lines in tnsnames.ora
accdb1 =
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=
               (PROTOCOL=tcp)
               (HOST=kdandapani.170systems.com)
               (PORT=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=accdb1)
(HS=OK)
4)added the following lines in listner.ora :
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME=accdb1)
(ORACLE_HOME=c:\orasrv)
(PROGRAM=accdb1)
5) Copied inithsodbc.ora to iniths_accdb1.ora in the ORACLE_HOME/hs/admin directory. Added the following line there :
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = MSACCESS
6)Created the foll dblink :
create database link access1
using 'accdb1';
7)tried to access table ORDERS in the MSACCESS database with the foll SQL -
select * from orders@access1;
Resulted in the foll error message
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name

hi,
I am new to Generic Connectivity i have just followed all the steps you wrote once in this forum but i m getting the following error :
SQL> SELECT * FROM LOGIN@MSACCESS;
SELECT * FROM LOGIN@MSACCESS
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28509: unable to establish a connection to non-Oracle system
ORA-02063: preceding line from MSACCESS
Following are the steps you suggested in this forum :
1)Created an ODBC connection for Microsoft Access called 'MSACCESS'. And associated accdb1.mdb to this ODBC connection.
2)Created a table called ORDERS in accdb1.mdb.
3)Added the foll lines in tnsnames.ora
MSACCESS.170SYSTEMS.COM =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = kdandapani.170systems.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = MSACCESS)
(HS = OK)
4)This is how the listner.ora looks after I added SID_NAME=MSACCESS :
# LISTENER.ORA Network Configuration File: c:\orasrv\NETWORK\ADMIN\listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =

(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:\orasrv)
(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
(SID_NAME = MSACCESS)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:\orasrv)
5) Copied inithsodbc.ora to iniths_MSACCESS.ora in the ORACLE_HOME/hs/admin directory. Added the following line there :
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = MSACCESS
6)Created the foll dblink :
create database link MSACCESS
using 'MSACCESS';
7)tried to access table ORDERS in the MSACCESS database with the foll SQL -
select * from orders@MSACCESS;
I have used my login table instead of orders. But i got an error that i have stated earlier.
Can you please help me ? if possible than please forward your reply to : [email protected]

Install issue Oracle XE 10g - missing dbf files

After installation of Oracle XE 10g on Win XP SP3, I can not logon.
Errors:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
After checking several threads in this forum, I found, that the setup did not
install any dbf file.
I can not guess, what caused this problem.
Several de-installs and installs. Download other (newer) installation package did
not help.
Installation on another Win XP SP3 has the same problem. On a brand new Win XP installation
it worked, but I need it on the other machine too.
Can anybody help? Any hints?
Thank you.
Manfred

If you don't get the .dbf files, installer didn't finish all the setup tasks.
Check the docs for all the deinstall steps, especially the registry cleanups, leftover bits there can keep it from working :(

Crystal Report Performance for dbf files.

We have a report which was designed 5 -6 years ago. This report has 4 linked word doc and dbf file as datasource. This report also as 3 subreports. The size of field in dbf is 80 chars and couple of field are memo field. The report performance was excellent before we migrated the crystall report to 2008. After CR2008 the system changed and it is suddenly really slow. We have not change our reports so much it should have an influence on performance. When the user presses the preview button on printing tool window the control is transferred to Crystal. Something has happened inside black box of Crystal ( IMO ). the dll we have are crdb_p2bxbse.dll 12.00.0000.0549 . The issues seems to be of xbase driver (not possible to use latest version of crdb_p2bxbse.dll and dbase files with memo fields).

Hi Kamlesh,
Odd that the word doc is opened before the RPT, I would think that the RPT would need to be opened first so it sees that the doc also needs to be opened. Once it's been loaded then the connection can be closed, CR embeds the DOC in the RPT so the original is no longer required.
Also, you should upgrade to Service Pack 3, it appears you are still using the original release. SP1 is required first but then you should be able to skip SP2 and install SP3.
You did not say what earlier version of Cr you were using? After CR 8.5 we went to full UNICODE support at which time they completely re-built the report designer and removed the database engines from the EXE and made them separate dll's now. OLE objecting also changed, you can use a formula and database field to point to linked objects now so they can be refreshed any time. Previously they were only refreshed when the report was opened.
You may want to see if linking them using a database field would speed up the process. Other than that I can't suggest anything else as a work around.
Thank you
Don

Generic Connectivity for 64-bit 10gR2 on Windows

I want to create a database link from a Windows oracle database to SQL Server 2005. The obvious solution seemed to be generic connectivity using HSODBC.
However, I don't have HDODBC.EXE in my 64-bit oracle home.
Doing some investigation, it seems that HSODBC was never supplied/supported on 64-bit windows, and the solution is to use the 11g gateways installed in a separate home and use DGODBC.EXE.
Is this correct?
HSODBC was free with 10g. Is DGODBC still free, or would I have to license it as a gateway product?

Hi Jim,
yes, this is correct. You can use DG4ODBC 11.2 which is the follow up product of HSODBC and which is now available for 64bit Windows.
Like HSODBC the follow up product DG4ODBC is still for free.
You can get the latest software from "My Oracle Support" portal - look for the 11.2.0.2 patchset: 10098816: 11.2.0.2.0 PATCH SET FOR ORACLE DATABASE SERVER and make sure you've selected the 64bit Windows patchset
The Oracle Gateways software can be found in p10098816_112020_platform_5of7.zip.
Download this CD and install the gateway software into its own Oracle_home.

How to connect with dbf file driver in C#.

Hi
I am using the following command in powerbuilder application to connect dbf file and to select the record from dbf file.
DBemp.dbparm="ConnectString='Driver={Microsoft dBase Driver (*.dbf)};Dbq="+ls_path+";Uid=;Pwd='". It is working fine in powerbuilder . I am looking for the same command to apply in C#. Please any help would be very appreciate.
I had used the following command in C# before but it is not working in every machine
OdbcConnection dBaseConnection = new OdbcConnection("Driver={Microsoft dBASE Driver (*.dbf)};DriverID=277;Dbq=" + filePath +";");
The above command in C# is working fine in some machine but some machine it is not working especially 64 bit operating system.
If I can get the same command as in powerbuilder , I think would be working in every machine. Please can u help
DBemp.dbparm="ConnectString='Driver={Microsoft dBase Driver (*.dbf)};Dbq="+ls_path+";Uid=;Pwd='".
With Many Thanks

Does it work if you go to Project Properties and force 32-bit or 64-bit modes? (For example, uncheck the ‘Prefer 32-bit’ option, then select ‘x86’ in Platform Target for Debug and Release configurations. Then try the ‘x64’ Platform Target
too).

Connect to dbf file from jsp with servletexec??

I am trying to connect to a dbf file from a jsp page on an win2003Server with ServletExec. But i get the exception "no suitable driver".
It works fine with the exact same code and file on my winxp machine. This is the connectionstring: url = "jdbc:odbc:;DRIVER=Microsoft dBase VFP Driver (*.dbf);Sourcedb=E:\\Data\\der\\Solutions;Sourcetype=dbf";
I can create a "Microsoft dBase VFP Driver" odbcConnection from the controlPanel and than use the connection from MicrosoftAccess and it works as it should. But I can't use it from the jsp code like this: url="jdbc:odbc:testdriver" .
It feels like I am missing something in servletexec. Like a classpath to the odbcdriver. But in all my other installations I have not done anything more than installed the servletexc correctly and added the classpath for parser.jar and jaxp.jar.
Am I missing something here???

Try putting a Class.forName( "my.jdbc.DriverClass" ) before DriverManager.getConnection( url, user, password ), where "my.jdbc.DriverClass" is the fully-qualified class name of the JDBC driver class. I think that JDBC driver classes have static initializers that register the driver class with the DriverManager. I had a similar problem and the Class.forName( ) fixed it.
If that doesn't work, double-check your URL.

Generic Thumnails for RAW Files in Photoshop CS4

I recently purchased a copy of Adobe CS4 and for some reason all my RAW files show as generic thumbnails in Photoshop. I have done a lot of searching so I have already taken the following actions:
1. Updated RAW plugin to 5.5
2. Purged cache folder
3. Manuall purged cache folder
When I purged the cache folder the thumbnails were working in Bridge but not Photoshop.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Due to the thumbnail producer in earlier versions of Photoshop being buggy and causing corrupted / loss of data, it was taken out, being replaced by one generic file icon for all Photoshop files. Bridge still has the ability to read the files properly to preview them though as it is written by Adobe so they can control it better i guess. This cannot be changed very easily but i think it can be done somhow, but still at the risk of running into the problems the old preview icons had (not that i personally ever had any).

Oracle IBR : API for converting files in PDF

IBR and WCC Version : 11.1.1.6.0
Currently We have configured IBR with UCM for converting documents to PDF format. Is there ant IBR API available so that without checking in the document in WCC , we can call the IBR API and get the document converted to PDF and it would be done through synchronous call.
thanks in advance.
Yogesh

Hi Yogesh ,
Without having the content in WCC server you can convert it to PDF using the OIT Modules which is the actual engine that does the processing in WCC as well . For doing this you will need to have the PDFExport module deployed on your client machine and then with that conversion can be done .
This is the link for OIT PDF Export module : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/content-management/downloads/oit-dl-otn-097435.html
Infact all the modules of content processing / conversion can be done as an independent stand alone application using OIT . Each of those modules are available from the above link.
Hope this helps .
Thanks,
