ODBC Drivers for SQL Server 2005 on AIX for OWB connect

Hi All -
I have a problem whereby I am trying to connect OWB with SQL Server 2005. The problem statement follows: -
Infrastructure: -
OWB Server installed on AIX
Oracle Installed on AIX
SQL Server 2005 source on Windows
OWB Client on windows XP
My problem is: -
I am trying to connect OWB with SQL Server 2005 for which I have to create heterogenous source entry in Oracle home. But AIX box does not have any ODBC drivers installed and hence I can not configure a DSN on the same. Can any one suggest where can I get these drivers and their installation steps.
Thanks in advance!

Error deploying JDBC driver for SQL Server 2005

Hi all
I'm trying to deploy a JDBC driver for MS SQL Server 2005 (downloaded [here|http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C47053EB-3B64-4794-950D-81E1EC91C1BA&displaylang=en]). When I try to deploy it according to the instructions found [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/51/735d4217139041e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm] it fails.
The error in the logs doesn't give any useful information though. It only says Error occurred while deploying component ".\temp\dbpool\MSSQL2005.sda".
Has anyone else deployed a driver for SQL Server 2005, or perhaps have any suggestions of what else I could try?
Thanks
Stuart

Hi Vladimir
That's excellent news! Thanks for the effort you've put into this. I'm very impressed with how seriously these issues are dealt with, specifically within the Java EE aspects of SAP.
May I make two suggestions on this topic:
1. Given that NWA has such granular security permissions, please could the security error be shown when it is raised? This would help immediately identify that the problem isn't actually a product error, but rather a missing security permission (and thus save us time and reduce your support calls).
2. Please could the role permissions be clearly documented (perhaps they already are, and I just couldn't find the docs?) so we know what is and isn't included in the role. The name is very misleading, as a "superadmin" is generally understood to have no limitation on their rights - so clear documentation on what is in-/excluded would be most helpful.
On a related topic, I came across another issue like this that may warrant your attention (while you're already looking into NWA security issues). I logged a support query about it (ref: 0120025231 0000753421 2008) in case you can retrieve details there (screenshots, logs, etc.). It's basically a similar security constraint when trying to create a Destination. I'm not sure if this is something you would like to include as standard permissions within the NWA_SUPERADMIN role or not, but I think it's worth consideration.
Thanks again for your help!
Cheers
Stuart

HotFix4 for SQL Server 2005 doesn't work

I am having problems getting a machine running SQL Server 2008 R2 (Express) to connect to a SQL Server 2005 (Full Standard Edition) DB on another machine via the LAN. It times out when connecting from a C# application. SSMS on the SQL 2008 machine
connects fine, but SSMS on the 2005 machine (connecting to a copy of the same DB on the 2008 machine) says it isn't supported and I need a hotfix.
I downloaded the hotfix link from Microsoft, but when I paste it into the Browser I get a DNS name failure for the Hotfix4 server. I don't want to paste the full link here because it is not made public by MS and you need to request it. However, the
first part of the URL is: http://hotfix4.microsoft.com/SQL%20Server%202005...etc.
I have checked out all of the obvious things in both instances (2005 AND 2008)... Both instances are configured to accept remote connections, both have TCP/IP and named pipes protocols enabled, both are running fine for local connections, both have the SQL
Browser enabled and the Computer Browser Service running on the network.
As the hot fix doesn't install, I am kind of out of ideas.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Pete

How do I install the jdbc driver for sql server 2005, in sql developer 4.0 ?

Hallo together
I need access to tables in a MS SQL Server 2005 database.
One possibility is the JDBC driver.
How do i install this driver ?
Thank you very much for your postings.

Hi,
This is from the documentation -
Database: Third Party JDBC Drivers
The Third Party JDBC Drivers pane specifies drivers to be used for connections to third-party (non-Oracle) databases, such as IBM DB2, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, or Sybase Adaptive Server. (You do not need to add a driver for connections to Microsoft Access databases.) To add a driver, click Add Entry and select the path for the driver:
For Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server: jtds-1.2.jar, which is included in the jtds-1.2-dist.zip download
To find a specific third-party JDBC driver, see the appropriate website (for example, http://www.mysql.com for the MySQL Connector/J JDBC driver for MySQL, http://jtds.sourceforge.net/ for the jTDS driver for Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase Adaptive Server, or search at http://www.teradata.com/ for the JDBC driver for Teradata). For MySQL, use the MySQL 5.0 driver, not 5.1 or later, with SQL Developer release 1.5.
You must specify a third-party JDBC driver or install a driver using the Check for Updates feature before you can create a database connection to a third-party database of that associated type. (See the tabs for creating connections to third-party databases in the Create/Edit/Select Database Connection dialog box.)
Alternative:
As an alternative to using this preference, you can click Help, then Check for Updates to install the JTDS JDBC Driver for Microsoft SQL Server and the MySQL JDBE Driver as extensions.

Mike

Cannot set up data source for SQL Server 2005

Is it possible to use Microsoft's Beta 2 version of the SQL Server 2005 JDBC driver with WebLogic 9.0? I've downloaded the driver and added it to my server classpath, but when I try to create a new data source using the admin console, the drop-down list for Microsoft SQL Server only contains drivers for the 2000 version. If I select "Other" from the list and try to move on, I get a cryptic, page-long error on the admin console. If I just select the 2000 driver and try to manually modify the parameters on the next set of screens, I still get errors when I try to test the configuration. I've successfully used a third-party driver before, but this one does not seem to be working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Sabrina

on the next set of screens, I still get errors when I try to test the configuration. I've successfully used a third-party driver before, but this one does not seem to be working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
SabrinaHere I describe the steps I took to bypass the console in making a new pool.
1 - Edit the script %DOMAIN_HOME%\bin\startWebLogic.cmd to add a line like this:
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;\new_ms_driver\beta2\sqljdbc_1.0\enu\sqljdbc.jar
In other words, you have to explicitly add a third party driver's classes to
the CLASSPATH that will be in effect for the server. Just adding the driver
to your window's class path will do nothing.
2 - Go to the directory %DOMAIN_HOME%\config\jdbc, where you will find
files of the name *-jdbc.xml. Each of these represents a DataSource.
Copy one of them, perhaps either examples-demo-jdbc.xml, or
examples-demoXA-jdbc.xml depending on whether you want to make an XA
or non-XA pool. Make you new file's name like the name of the DataSource,
still ending in -jdbc.xml. Eg: MS_Beta-jdbc.xml
3 - Edit this file to change as much as would be clear for the
driver you want. Eg: change the driver class to the class you want,
the user name, URL, test table etc. Also, change the pool's initial
capacity to 0. This is so the pool can be created without making a
connection. We need that because the password is encrypted, and
there is no manual way for you to add the correct one yet.
4 - go one directory up, and edit the config.xml. Find a
jdbc-system-resource entry corresponding to the original
resource file you copied. Make a new entry in the config file,
like the original, but change the Datasource name to your new one.
5 - If this all went well, reboot your server and go to your data
source in the console, and edit it. Alter the password to what it
really should be, and you can also change whatever else you might
want.
6 - shut down again, and reboot, and you should then be able to go to
your data source in the console and test a connection.
That's it. Here is an example of a jdbc.xml file I made, and
the entry I made in the config.xml:
config/jdbc/newpool-jdbc.xml:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<jdbc-data-source xmlns="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90" xmlns:sec="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90/security"

Arc is not implemented for SQL Server 2005 physical model

I added the Arc in my relational model, which is supposed to provide that references are mutually exclusive (so only one refering column can be not null). However there is not any implementation for this in the SQL Server 2005 physical model. The SQL code generated simply ignores the Arc and allows any values for the columns covered by Arc. If we check Oracle physical model. then it generates some trigger, which controls how many columns have values assigned - this is actually an implementation of Arc. But there is nothing of this kind for SQL Server model...
By the way, implementing this Arc by trigger looks like to heavy approach. The very simple table level check constraint will do the same job. But this is a different subject though.

Server Sizing for SQL Server 2005

Hi Experts,
We are having a SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition, we are planning to do a sizing of the server.
Do we have any standard tool or criteria which can be used to come up with an assessment of the hardware enhancement which can be proposed for the server which host SQL server 2005.
Also is there any standard recommendation when setting up a production environment which would host SQL Server

Homogeneous system copy for SQL server 2005

Hi All,
I am currently investigating for the method to perform system copy for a PI system with SQL server 2005 database. Using the System Copy for SAP Systems Based on NW 7.0 SR2 ABAP+Java as guide, I can see reference to Note 151603. However, I am unable to get a copy of that note. Searching for the note from the official SAP Notes Search area indicated that it is currenytly only avaiable internally.
Would anyone know where I will be able to get a copy of that note?
Thanks,
Wi

PI is version 7.1 (not 7.0) - so you need to use a different system copy guide.

The SQL Server 2005 Eval 180 day license expired on our Discovery System. I un-installed the Eval copy and installed a licensed SQL Server 2005 EE instance. I searched for the SQL Server collation, and found SAP Note 600027, which recommended Binary order for use with the 850 Multilingual Character Set as the collation.
I attached the existing databases using the script provided with the Discovery system. Started up the SAP ERP instance. I then tried to log into the ERP 300 and got a START_CALL_SICK error message. From the error message details I find, "DB CHECK Wrong Server collation. Perform SQL2005 after upgrade steps. Please see note 126973". Note 126973 seemed to refer me to note 799058. However this talks about upgrading....
It appears to me I simply chose the wrong SQL Server 2005 collation type when installing the licensed coipy of SQL Server.
What collation type should be used?
Thanks,
Jay Warling

After reviewing what I did, it appears I neglected to detach the databases before un-installing SQL Server 2005 evaluation copy.
I did stop the ERP system via the SAP MMC before un-installing but did not detach the databases.
I believe the collation is actually correct, but I am stumped as how to proceed with the START_CALL_SICK error message.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jay

JDBC Connectivity for SQL Server 2005 Windows Authentication Mode

Hi Everyone,
In my Scenario we are using SQL Server 2005 with Mixed Mode Authentication. Now we are planning to move only with Windows Authentication Mode.
We have configured DB with Window authentication mode & user id have been configured in PI channels however we are getting error. We checked microsoft site, which says Windows Authentication mode DB can not be connected using JDBC drivers.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313100
In this above link see Basic Connectivity Troubleshooting Section.
Please let me know if someone confirued JDBC Channel Successfuly with Windows Authentication Mode.
Thanks In Advance

I think this issue is related to the way that Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 2008 / 2008 R2 treat users who are logged on to the system with an account that is a member of the local administrators group when SQL is running locally.
If your SQL setup has left you with BUILTIN\Administrators being a member of the sysadmin server role and you start up SQL Management Studio you'd expect to be mapped to the sysadmin role if your user account is in the local administrators group, however
these OS disable this ability and when you try to connect to the database engine SQL server doesn't know you are a member of the local administrators group.
To get round this, close all your open SQL management studio windows and then start a new window by right clicking the icon in the start menu and chosing to run as administrator. This time when you try to connect to the SQL database engine, windows doesn't
"hide" the fact that you are an administrator. If you need to do this a lot you can go to the compatibility tab on the properties of the shortcut and set it to always run as administrator.
Alternatively you can install the admin tools remotely and you don't get this effect.

Setup failed for SQL Server 2005 express edition [SQLEXPR.exe]

Good day All,
My client has already SQL Server 2005 SP3 installed. We are in process of providing him a new .net application but he wants existing version of SQL untouched. We asked him to install SQL Express version (SQLEXPR.exe) and configured web.config to local (.\SQLExpress).
However client is getting message -
"Setup failed.
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=20476&ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=9.00.4035.00&EvtSrc=setup.rll&EvtID=50000&EvtType=sharedsetup%5csharedsetupactions.cpp%40LoadResourcesAction%40sqls%3a%3aLoadResourcesAction%3a%3aperform%400x0"
I am in a fix. What could have gone wrong? Clearly it has something to with already existing version. Just for information, client keeps his SQL services (using SQL Server Configuration Manager) in a stopped state. Could that be an issue?
Appreciate any one helping me out.
Thanks

What is the process for SQL Server 2005 patch update

hi,
i have 2 production SQL Server2005 Database servers in cluster ,
what is the process for applying patches.
Saidireddy

In 2005 you can do it in two ways...
Method 1 :
With SQL Server 2005,
when you start installing cluster service pack (or hotfix), it must be launched on the active node(node
that hosts the instance). When installing the Setup will launch simultaneously "remote silence" on all passive nodes. All nodes in the cluster containing the SQL Server instance are updated in the same time.
Method 2: First you can install in passive node then you can install in the active node, In this way you can save your down time ( If you start in the active node it will check in the passive, and if its installed already then it skips that
and start applying in the active node ), but most of the DBA's follows only first method because they may not aware of this or just they follows Microsoft common method.
SQL 2008 and Later....
1. Apply the hotfix on pasive node N2
2. Reboot the passive node N2
3. Failover on SQL resource : the passive node become the active node
4. Apply the hotfix on the passive node N1
5. Reboot the passive node N1
