ODBC trouble Oracle BI Client

Hi all,
I created a cube using awm. I need to use my cube to make excel reports.
Since everything is installed in a unix server. I needed to install BI admin tool in my windows machine Windows 7 , and set an ODBC connection to the Oracle BI Server.
Everything seems to go fine, but when I click Finish , I get the message ODBC Administrator has stopped working
I really can't understand the problem. Not even an error message to rely on. Can it be related to Windows 7 ?
Any information will be helpful ! Thx !!

Unix ODBC and Oracle Instant Client

When I dowloaded Oracle 11 Instant client the the zip file does not contain the libsqlora.so.11.1 file. the odbc_update_ini file contains reference to it. I am trying to configure ODBC on HP UX Pa Risc to use the Instant Client. I have downloaded the UnixODBC driver manager from UnixODBC.org. But I can't seem to figure out how to hook up Oracle 11 Instant Client. Everything I have searched for indicates that libsqlora.so.11.1 is required for the driver manager to work. Who develops this, is it Oracle, is it UnixODBC.org? Do I need to use an older version of Oracle Instanct Client?
Thank you in advance for any help.

is it "libsq.." or "libsql.."? Did you check odbc.zip? "libsqora.so.11.1" suppose to be part of odbc.zip. From which location you have downloaded? because in my install location I can see that "libsqora.so.11.1" is part of odbc.zip file and same has been referred by odbc_update_ini file. Download fresh tar(odbc.zip) and recheck!

ODBC for Oracle 9i client on Presentation Server 4.5

Does anyone have an Oracle 9i ODBC driver or something that will work for an app that is Oracle 9.1 on presentation server 4.5? The application loads but tnsping returns ORA-12504 error.
Tnsnames is same tnsnames file we use on Presentation 4.0 for same app. Don't know how to fix. Vendor says not supported, boss says too bad make it work.
I can't find 9.1 drivers on Oracle site. If someone has them or has a solution please reply to this post.
Thanks

Hi, I appreciate your reply. Let me explain. We use a program called Centricity EMR formerly known as Logician. The program is bundled into an Oracle database. I did get the version wrong. Here is from the About in the program: Logician 5.6.8_1 (125) / DB 5.6.8_1
E&M Advisor 5, 4, 1, 7
Medispan MDDB database 2007.12
Oracle9i Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production
Next item is Presentation Server is a version of Citrix. We currently are in production on Presentation Server 4.0. We want to rollout into a new Citrix farm that is Presentation 4.5. I don't know if you are familiar with Citrix or not. At any rate we load a Logician client to the server and publish it so users can get to it from their thin client (citrix) devices.
The Oracle Home lives on the Oracle database server not on the Citrix servers. We only have one Home per Oracle server.
I don't do a command line tnsping, I have a utility that comes with Logician to check Oracle Server connectivity.
It does the same thing as if I typed tnsping <database name>.
Here is our sqlnet.ora (we don't modify this ever, it is already configured)
# SQLNET.ORA Network Configuration File: d:\oracle\ora92\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN= WORLD
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, ONAMES, HOSTNAME)
Here is tnsnames.ora (we can modify the part in front of the .WORLD and the ip address)
<databasename>.world =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS =
(COMMUNITY = TCP.world)
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(Host = <ipaddress>)
(PORT = 1521)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ORA7)
# (SDU=8192)
I think that is all you asked for. Like I said the Logician client runs just fine in Presentation 4.0. On 4.5 I can't connect to the Oracle but it has to be something simple I can change to make it work. The reason why I think it is ODBC is because Presentation server has a 32-bit ODBC and a 64-bit ODBC. You can't see the service in 64-bit but you can in 32-bit. I just can't figure out how to trick it to pull from 32-bit.
Thanks so much, hope you can help

Using SQLDriverConnect with special characters in password fails, same info with ODBC (Oracle instant client) works fine

Hi,
on a windows 2008 machine that has the Oracle instant client 11_1 installed (11.01.00.06) i am calling SQLDriverConnect in the following way:
std::string str = "Driver={Oracle in instantclient11_1};Dbq=//10.10.101.66:1521/orcl;;Uid=myUser;pwd=a;b";
odbcRc = SQLDriverConnect(hdbc, NULL, (SQLTCHAR*)str.c_str(), str.size(), (SQLTCHAR*)szConnStrOut, 1024, &cbConnStrOut, SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT)) == SQL_ERROR);
as long as the password contains no special chars (namely semicolon) it works fine. but when I try to use special chars in the password It stops working, with an invalid username/password error.
State: 28000 Native error: 1017 Message: [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
i tried different variations of adding " (\") over the password, over the entire pwd=a;b or braces { but nothing seems to work.
the thing is that using ODBC works! what I did was:
open ODBC, go to System DSN tab, add "Oracle in instantclient11_1", then fill the following information:
Data source name: Anything
TNS Service Name: //10.10.101.66:1521/orcl
User ID: myUser
then i press test connection, enter the password "a;b"
and it works!
I cannot figure out what's my problem.
Thanks,
Roy.

I've created your test table in my Oracle database using this extra character and I'm able to describe it properly.
SQL> desc test;
Name Null? Type
ATTIVITÀ VARCHAR2(40)
My character set being used is:
SQL> select * from v$nls_parameters;
NLS_CHARACTERSET
WE8ISO8859P15
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET
AL16UTF16
NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS
BYTE
So as long as it doesn't work for you in your native Oracle database I don't think it would work with DG4ODBC. So yes, it would be best to log a service request so that the Oracle database support can check out the NLS issue.
Edited by: kgronau on Sep 28, 2011 9:21 AM
To be complete here the describe of the MySQL table native and using DG4ODBC:
mysql> create table TEST (attività Varchar(40));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> desc TEST;
---------------------------------------------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
---------------------------------------------------+
| attività | varchar(40) | YES | | NULL | |
---------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.2.0 Production on Wed Sep 28 09:20:17 2011
SQL> desc "gateway"."TEST"@MYSQL_DG4ODBC_EMGTW_1122_DB;
Name Null? Type
attività VARCHAR2(80)
So in general it should work.

Differences between Oracle 10G Client ODBC from 10.1.x to 10.2.x (datatype)

What differences where implemented to Oracle 10G Clients ODBC connectivity drivers between 10G Release 1 and Release 2 concerning datatypes?
I have an application that performs a qualified read returning a group of records (this is successful) and then performs a delete on each record read. No errors occur on completion of the application. When using release 1, the records are physically removed. Using release 2 a portion of the same group of records are not removed. The key for the table is a numeric field with six decimal places (not my design). My applications C code defines the field as a DOUBLE.

I certainly agree that something changed. The question is whether it was a change in function or not. With a lot of these sorts of errors, tracking down the "source" of the error involves finding a change in a piece of code that allowed what was always possible to actually occur. That is, you may have two pieces of code that are functionally identical but that end up allowing the sorts of "round off" errors that are always possible when using doubles. The driver might, for example, now be going down a code path where it shifts a number to the right or left rather than dividing or multiplying by 2, which may make this sort of thing more likely. Functionally, given that doubles don't guarantee infinite precision, these operations are identical, but one may be significantly more likely to cause problems.
Is your application using the ODBC API directly? Or is it going through a higher-level API? If you are going through ODBC directly, you might look to see whether the data types that are being returned by the driver to your code are the same across driver versions.

Oracle 8i Client/ODBC with Windows 2000

Ever since I upgraded(?) to that wonder of modern science, I can't seem to get my Oracle client to work. I've tried every remedy on metalink and still nothing. It's always the same error shown below. Besides moving to Linux, what else is there for me to try?

I'm also having this problem.
I'm setting up a C++Builder Application to work with the Oracle
8i Release 2 (8.1.6) using ODBC. Both the clients and the server
are running Windows 2000 Professional. I get the error
"[Oracle][ODBC]Invalid datetime format" whenever I have a DATE
column with a NULL value in it. I tried downloading the latest
ODBC driver from the Oracle web site but this did not solve the
problem. Right now our only solution is to make all the
DATE columns NOT NULL. Do you have any other suggestions?

Oracle 817 client not available in ODBC Data Source Administrator pick list...

I have installed Oracle 817 client on a PC.
I can see the server, I can see the instance.
I can log into the instance using SQLPlus with no problem.
The product I'm using requires an ODBC connection configured in the ODBC Data Source Administrator.
When I try to configure it in the DSA, Oracle 8 is not in the list.
HELP!

I assume you have Windows on the client. The "Drivers" page of the ODBC_DSA should list all installed drivers. You require:
name= Oracle ODBC Driver
version= 8.01.07.00 (or something similar)
company= Oracle Corporation DO NOT USE the Microsoft one.
If this does not show, then either it was not included in the Oracle Client installation or you have not rebooted after the Oracle Client installation; the ODBC driver is not visible until rebooted.

CR 2008 and ODBC connection using Oracle Instant Client driver?

Two questions.
I'm creating CR 2008 report using an ODBC connection. The ODBC driver is the Oracle Instant Client (version 10.2, I think.)
When I define the connection, I see only a few tables. I do not see the Tables, Views, Qualifiers tree that I see with a normal Oracle Server connection.
Does anybody know why this happens? Is there a CR ODBC driver that works better?
Second question: I have a .NET application that is pointing the report to another Oracle DB. In my db, table names are not unique -- each user has the same set of tables. I find that when the .net applciation sets the datasource, I get connected to the first table with a given name; I do not get the table scoped by the logon user.
In the .net application, how do I scope the table name to a particular user.
Any info helps. Thanks.
Tim

Hi Tim,
Below are the replies to your questions:
Answer 1: Please try the below steps:
- Make sure that in File->Options->Database Tab in the Data Explorer section the corresponding checkboxes are checked for tables, views,system tables,synonyms and stored procedures and the Table name LIKE and Owner LIKE boxes are blank.
- Please try with OLEDB connection and check the results.
- You can also refer to this SAP note no# 1215994, the link to which is given below:
[https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/sno/ui_entry/entry.htm?param=69765F6D6F64653D3030312669765F7361706E6F7465735F6E756D6265723D3132313539393426]
Answer 2: If you are using RAS SDK only then you would be able to change table name. Please let us know if you are using RAS.
If you are using RAS with Java please post your query in the Java forum else if you are using Visual Studio/.NET then please post your question in .NET Forum.
Please update with the results.
Thanks!

Oracle 10g client with 11g ODBC.

We have the Oracle 10g client on users PCs to use the 10g ODBC to connect to a 10g (10.2.0.4.0) database. Now we are upgrading to an Oracle 11g database, 11.2.0.3.0. Is it possible to install the 11g ODBC drivers onto the users PCs without installing the full Oracle 11g client?

Unless you want to go down the Instant Client path, no.
However, there is probably no need to do anything to the clients. Any version of the 10g client should have no difficulty communicating with an 11.2 database. There is likely no need to upgrade the existing clients when the database is upgraded. The only exception would be if your application is trying to use some 11.2 feature that requires changes on the client to support-- those are pretty rare in this instance.
You may want to roll out 11.2 clients on new machines as they come online but that's likely about all that you need to do.

Problem with Oracle XE client (erreur 126 in ODBC driver)

Hello
When I want connect to the server with SQL (XE Client) I wrote :
SQL> connect SYS
password : *********
ERROR
ORA-12560: TNS: erreur d'adaptateur de protocole
SQL>
When I want to install ODBC Driver (Oracle in XEClient), the system return an error : "System error code 126"
Whitch is the problem ?
Please help me !
Regards,
Alexandre

Hello,
Thank you for your help,
XE is installed on Linux Server (192.168.19.30) and is started
XPClient is installed on Windows XP Client (192.168.19.100)
I can connect to XE using http://192.168.19.30:8080/apex
The problem is that I can't use ODBC driver
In other hand, I can connect to the server in SQL command line, using :
CONNECT SYSTEM/*******@192.168.19.30
I saw in Oracle documentation that in Windows it's necessarie to use environnement variables to setup XEClient.
Do you have any idea on how to configure client and ODBC driver ?

System Error 1114 from ODBC driver in Oracle XE Client

Hello,
I am running into some problems connecting to our Oracle 10.1.0.2 database through the ODBC driver supplied with the Oracle XE Client. I set up a DSN, and the test was successful. I can get to the database using that DSN to import data into MS Access, but when I am having problems when I try to connect using a program I have written.
On the first connection, I use the following connection string:
DSN=orcl-xe
and I get the following response:
[28000] [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-01005: null password given; logon denied
which makes sense given that no password was provided.
On the second connection attempt, the user has entered an ID and password, and I use the following connection string:
DSN=orcl-xe;UID=mapper;PWD=brock01
This connection attempt, and subsequent attempts, result in the following error:
IM003] Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 1114 (Oracle in XEClient)
The driver was loaded and responded to my first connection attempt, so I don't understand why the second attempt would fail like this. After the first attempt fails, my program frees the various environment and connection handles, so there shouldn't be any resource issues.
Can someone tell me what system error 1114 means? I saw some information in another forum that indicated that a DLL might be missing, but I've got C:\XEClient\bin as the first entry in my path, and the ORACLE_HOME environment variable is pointing to the correct directory. As far as I know, all of the required runtime DLLs are available in the path.
Thanks,
Bob

I have been developing an Excel application using the Oracle XE client. At first, it created an ADO connection, from which I opened a record set. After this, it created several new QueryTables. This worked great.
Later, among other things, I needed to reverse the order of those connections. After two weeks of wasted time, I finally realized that was why I started getting the "Specified driver..." error. If I used a file that created the connections in the original order, it worked. If I left Excel open, the file that had the connections in the opposite order also worked. However, if I closed Excel and then tried the file that had them in the "bad" order first, it failed.
Somehow, just having created an ADO connection, even in a different file, even closing it and destroying the object, Excel remembered it and knew how to create the QueryTables. By the way, before I realized how to work around it, I noticed that I could create QueryTables in the front end and browse the data through Microsoft Query, but it would fail with the error when I tried to bring the data into a worksheet.
My workaround was to open an ADO connection, close it, and destroy the object BEFORE trying to create the QueryTables. It works, but I can't believe the time I had to waste getting there.

ODBC Error: Could't find Oracle Instant Client in present directory.

I am getting the following error when I try to run odbc_install.exe with the Oracle 10g Instant Client Lite version 2:
Could't find Oracle Instant Client in present directory.
The 10g Instant Client Lite version (including the missing MFC71.DLL and MSVCR71.DLL files) is in the directory. What am I missing here??

Can you detail your configuration? What files are in the directories? Environment variables?

Trouble in extracting Via ODBC to Oracle or Access - Numbers Change

I am running a report that I only want the group records printed. One of the group fields shows a sum of a function from the detail records.
The following function sj_rec is on the detail record
WhilePrintingRecords;
Numbervar clm_sj_amt;
if {SJE_RECORD.SJER_TYPE} in ["S","J"] then
    clm_sj_amt := clm_sj_amt + {SJE_RECORD.SJER_AMOUNT};
if {SJE_RECORD.SJER_TYPE} = "R" then
    clm_sj_amt := clm_sj_amt - {SJE_RECORD.SJER_AMOUNT};
clm_sj_amt;
Then on the Group Record we have disp_sj function
WhilePrintingRecords;
numberVar   clm_sj_amt;
clm_sj_amt;
On the crystal report every thing looks fine.
When I extract the Information Via ODBC to Oracle or Access the numbers change. If I extract to Excel it is fine.
Can you please explain why I canu2019t get on oracle the exact info displayd in crystal ???

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the Data Connectivity - Crystal Reports Forum
Likely differences in how ODBC links and indexes the tables.
