Ora-00164 with generic connectivity

Hello:
I have an Oracle 9iR2 database over linux RHAS 2.1 and try to replicate data to an informix server. For that purpose i have another oracle 9i over windows 2000 (brige) to make the replication using database triggers on tables in the Ora9i windows database. When i make transactions directly on the windows database, the data is replicated without problems to the informix server, but when i make the transactions on the linux database to the tables on the windows database via dblink the ora-00164 fires. I use autonomous-transaction on the triggers over the windows databse to make the replication.
Is there any way to overcome this problem??????
Any other alternative to make the replication work will be helpful.
Thanks
Andrés Wong

I tried this and get the same error message.

ORA-12514 with Easy Connect only

Greetings,
On linux with a recent local install of Oracle XE:

Without the Easy Connect connection identifier is it that I'm connecting via IPC? This is preventing me from remotely connecting via sqlplus or JDBC over an SSH tunnel of 1521 (the box is firewalled).
Thanks!

Well, I've gotten it to work by changing 'localhost' to 'myhost.mydomain.local' (name changed to protect the innocent) in tnsnames.ora and listener.ora, adding myhost.mydomain.local to my local DNS server such that it resolves to eth0's external IP, and restarting oracle. After that...

The command completed successfully...which is notably different from before. After that I can connect with:
sqlplus system/password@localhost/XEAlso of note, using the external IP directly in tnsnames.ora and listener.ora did not work.
So my new question is, why does Oracle need a HOST=hostname--where hostname resolves to an external IP--to startup correctly? Though I have 1521 firewalled from the outside world it seems like an unnecessary security hole.

ORA-12519 with servlet connect

Hi,
I'm facing a strange behaviour on my tomcat webserver with a servlet. I'm using Oracle 10g as the database and try to access it with my servlet.
The doPost-method throws the following exception while trying to establish the connection to the RDBMS:
"SQLException:
Connecting not possible:
Listener refused the connection with the following error:
ORA-12519, TNS:no appropriate service handler found The Connection descriptor used by the client was: localhost:1521:DBTEN"
After starting my servlet, the connection to the database for other applications blocks with the same error message
for a few minutes. After these few minutes connecting to the database is possible again!!! Restarting the database and the listener also helps...
public void doPost( HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response ) throws IOException, ServletException {
Connection conn = null;
response.setContentType( "text/html" );
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
String connStr = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:DBTEN";
try{
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
}catch( ClassNotFoundException cnf ){
out.println( "CNFException: "+cnf.getMessage() );
//retrieve Connection
try{
conn = DriverManager.getConnection( connStr, "scott", "tiger" );
}catch( SQLException sqle ){
out.println( "SQLException: <BR> Connecting not possible: <BR> "+sqle.getMessage()+"<BR>" );
When I put that part in a 'normal' main program everything is ok. I can connect to the database and access tables with select statements and everything is ok.
public static void main(String[] args) {
Connection conn = null;
//retrieve Connection
try{
String connStr = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:DBTEN";
try{
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
}catch(ClassNotFoundException cnf){
System.out.println( "CNFException: "+cnf.getMessage() );
conn = DriverManager.getConnection( connStr, "scott", "tiger" );
}catch( SQLException sqle ){
System.out.println( "SQLException:"+sqle.getMessage() );
Does anyone have an idea what the problem is in this case?
Regards,
Lars

To open a connection use something like this:

ods.setUser("username");
ods.setPassword("password");
ods.setURL("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE");
ods.getConnection();
Instead of this:

Frm-40375 and ora-306500 with ODBC connection

Hi experts,
I am getting frm-40375 , ora-306500 when clicking a button on form , the code behind the button is actually connecting to a database other than oracle using the ODBC connection and importing data in variables and than inserting in an oracle table.
The error only appears on other PCs and not on my pc , means there is no problem in the code and is working fine on my pc (importing the desired data when using my pc).
The question is what is missing on other PCs or in other words what is additional component in my PC.
Please tell when and why this ora-306500 occurs.
Hope I defined the problem correctly.
(the following is part of the code
connection_string:='user/pass123@ODBC:abcd123';
connection_id := EXEC_SQL.OPEN_CONNECTION(connection_string);
cursorID := EXEC_SQL.OPEN_CURSOR(connection_id);
Using Oracle 9i Database
and 6i Forms
Thanks in advance
Edited by: zulfffi on Jun 29, 2010 11:08 PM

ora-306500I seriously doubt this is actual error code.
AFAIK - Oracle errors have not yet reached 6 decimal places.
please use COPY & PASTE in the future

Generic connectivity to Sybase and outer join problem

I have a need to query records from a Sybase database running on Linux
(32-bit) and am using Oracle 10.2.0.3 with generic connectivity (no
specific heterogeneous service/transparent gateway for Sybase on Linux, that I see). We have installed
an ODBC driver on the Oracle server and can query the Sybase database
without difficulty except for outer joins.
I have tried using both the Oracle syntax and the ANSI syntax. Both
return results that are consistent with using an inner join. The ANSI
query, run directly against the Sybase database returns the correct
data (of course, removing the database link syntax).
I was looking into the possibility of using dbms_hs_passthrough, but
it does not appear to be part of the generic connectivity.
Is there a better/right way of doing this? Aren't outer joins supported?
Thanks,
Vince

As a followup, I did get dbms_hs_passthrough working and am able to get the correct data back. However, I would like to leave this as a backup.
Aren't outer joins supported in the generic connectivity?

Error creating a multisource data foundation with generic odbc connection

Hi all,
we've created a generic odbc datasource connection to a Pervasive database.
When creating a single source data foundation and universe with this connection everything works fine.
When we try to create a multisource data foundation we can add the connection,
but while trying to expand the connection we get the error message "Owners are not available".
Same message when trying to inert a table.
(We've created both a 32 bit and a 64 bit DSN)
System: BO 4.1 SP2 PL3
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Silvia

Hi Silvia,
The generic odbc is not a supported connection for a multisource universe.
This information is available in the product availability matrix.
1. Log into the SAP Support Portal
2. choose the Tab for Release & Upgrade Info
3. Choose the Link Product Availability Matrix.
Hope this helps!

Help with circumvention of ORA-01472: cannot use connect by on view with ..

Hi,
Any help resolving the following would be v. helpful.
The Aim
Produce a hierarchical report of all users and the privileges they have via the various roles they are granted.
The SQL
select lpad(' ', level*2,' ')|| granted_role from (select grantee, granted_role
from dba_role_privs
union
select role, granted_role
from role_role_privs
union
select role, privilege
from role_sys_privs
union
select 'All users', username
from dba_users)
start with grantee='All users'
connect by prior granted_role = grantee;
The error
ORA-0147: cannot use connect by on view with DISTINCT, GROUP BY, etc.
The database
Oracle 8.1.7.4 (Yes I know ....)
The Solution
[Thanks in advance]

What if you create a table first
create table role_grants as
    select granted_role, grantee
       from (select grantee, granted_role
               from dba_role_privs
             union

               from role_role_privs
             union
             select role, privilege
               from role_sys_privs
             union
             select 'All users', username
              from dba_users)
Then run the hierarchical report
select lpad(' ', level*2,' ')|| granted_role
   from role_grants
   start with grantee='All users'
   connect by prior granted_role = grantee

Generic Connection with weblogic.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver

Hi,
I am able to setup the SQLServer Generic connection in jdeveloper no issue with that, but i am trying the same in the server with jython as follows:

How to do a Generic Connectivity (ODBC) ?

Hello,
Generic Connectivity provide Oracle Database to connect another
database via ODBC. In my case, it is Oracle 8.1.6 which connects
to Sybase Enterprise 11 on Win NT. The Module "Generic
Connection" is installed. I view it by the Oracle Universal
Installer and I have configured the Windows ODBC Manager to
connect to Sybase.
This is what I've done step by step:
1. C:\Oracle\Ora81\hs\Admin\iniths_syb.ora
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = SPS_NACIONAL
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = ON
HS_FDS_TRACE_FILE_NAME = hs_syb.log
2. C:\Oracle\Ora81\Network\Admin\Listener.ora
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = nacional)(PORT = 1521))
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = oracle)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:\Oracle\Ora81)
(SID_NAME = oracle)
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = hs_syb)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:\Oracle\Ora81)
(PROGRAM = hs_syb)
I reload the listener by the following command :
lsnrctl
stop
start
3. C:\Oracle\Ora81\Network\Admin\Tnsname.ora
ORACLE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = oracle)
hs_syb =
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID=hs_syb)
(HS = OK)
I test the tnsname at the prompt command line :
tnsping hs_syb
(It's OK)
4. Database Link
CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK syb
USING 'hs_syb';
5. Test database link
select * from emp@syb;
And Errors occur :
ORA-28509: unable to establish a connection to non-Oracle system
ORA-02063: preceding line from SYB
6. I read again the documentation
http://technet.oracle.com/doc/oracle8i_816/server.816/a76960/hs_g
enco.htm
and I found some tables to be feed with data by the HS_ADMIN
packtage :
This is what I have added :
EXEC DBMS_HS.CREATE_FDS_CLASS ('hs_syb','Uses ODBC Driver')
EXEC DBMS_HS.CREATE_FDS_INST ('hs_syb','hs_syb','SYC Sybase
System 10/11')
EXEC DBMS_HS.CREATE_INST_INIT
('hs_syb','hs_syb','HS_DB_NAME','SYBDATA','F')
(Drop procedure :
EXEC DBMS_HS.DROP_INST_INIT
('hs_syb','hs_syb','HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO')
EXEC DBMS_HS.DROP_FDS_INST ('hs_syb','hs_syb')
EXEC DBMS_HS.DROP_FDS_CLASS ('hs_syb');
I test one more time the connection,
And I have the same error message as step 5.
7. I put in the initialization file (initoracle.ora) the
parameter
Hs_Autoregister = true (It is true by default and it doesn't
change errors. Is it another parameters for HS ?)
In fact, I don't really understand the notion of "AGENT" for HS
(Heterogeneous Services) in Oracle. Is it something to enable or
is it automatic because the iniths_syb.ora file is in the path
ORACLE_HOME\hs\admin ???
What is it missing for the Generic Connectivity ? Any
suggestion ? Say me what is the wrong step in this process or
what I have forgotten.
Thank you in advance.
Jobar Team

Hello
You're right, step two needs to set (PROGRAM = hsodbc). I understand this when I saw hsodbc.exe in the path ORACLE_HOME\Bin (and at prompt I try agtctl.exe but without sucess, an utility for Heterogeneous Services).
Now when I test the connection I can hear Oracle running something.
This is what I've done step by step (following my previous message)I test with Sybase Entreprise and Sybase Anywhere :
8. C:\Oracle\Ora81\Database\initoracle.ora
I set a parameter in init file and I reload Oracle database :
global_names = false
OR in SQL+
alter session set global_names=false;
WITH SYBASE ENTREPRISE
9. C:\Oracle\Ora81\hs\Admin\iniths_syb.ora
At the beginning my iniths_syb.ora file was wrong then I correct parameters by viewing errors in C:\Oracle\Ora81\hs\trace :
#Using a dsn file generate by the Windows ODBC Manager
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO="FILEDSN=C:\sybase.dsn"

12. Test Database link
CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK anywhere

select * from anytable@anywhere;
In SYBASE ANYWHERE I've got this data
select * from anytable
go
dateini col1 col2
2002-02-01 00:00:00.0000 1.5000 1.4000
In ORACLE I've got
SQL> select * from anytable@anywhere;
dateini col1 col2
01/02/02 1 1
There isn't the decimal.
The reason doesn't like to be 1.4 or 1,4 because in Anywhere and in Oracle It is the same insert "insert into anytable values ('02/02/01', 1.5, 1.4)".
13. Now I try a select of one column
select col1 from anytable@anywhere;
this error occur :
ORA-00904 invalid column name
I am sure that this column exist ! "select * from anytable@anywhere;" and "select count(*) from anytable@anywhere;" are OK.
14. And this doesn't work anymore :
insert into bx_surcharge@anywhere values ('01/02/02',1,2);
ORA-02047: cannot join the distributed transaction in progress
15. Step 6 and 7 doesn't mean to be necessary ? And Where are used parameters of the "ODBC Connectivity Requirements" in the documentation. http://technet.oracle.com/doc/oracle8i_816/server.816/a76960/hs_genco.htm (And How to use Datatype Mapping ?)
So How to successful a ODBC connection (Maybe I forget some parameters) ? For me, using a connection with ODBC is generic and have to work fine with any type of datasource, isn't it ?
Have you got any idea to deal ? Thanks a lot.

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)

(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:

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.

Is HS Generic Connectivity(db2/400 odbc) supports Distributed Transaction?

hi,
Is HS Generic Connectivity(db2/400 odbc) supports Distributed Transaction?
I am getting an error as follows
"ORA-02047 cannot join the distributed transaction in progress" when i am trying a transaction, which is inserting in to db2/400 and updating in Oracle.
if it does not support this, what is the best way
to do such things using generic connectivity.
(eg. by committing each sql statement ?)
my db is oracle 9i 9.2.0.4.0
remote db is db2/400 connected with client access ODBC.
Thanks

Hi,
one of the restrictions of generic connectivity is, that distributed transactions are not allowed.
See manual: 7-6 Oracle9 i Heterogeneous Connectivity Administrator's Guide
- Generic Connectivity agents cannot participate in distributed transactions; they
support single-site transactions only
So you can only commit after each statement or you have to use the GATEWAY

HS generic connection to ingres

Hi, I'm having a small problem with setting up a connection from oracle to ingres.

Looks like its actually connecting ok, as it includes the message "Created new ODBC connection (16585544)"
The ODBC driver is from CA (ingres) v3.5
- not sure that this fully supports all the requirements specified in the doc, and its not very well documented.
- the latest version available from their website is 2.8 which has some docs to say what it supports:
"The Ingres ODBC driver is a 2.x ODBC driver that supports all core and level 1 functions plus the following level 2 functions:
SQLExtendedFetch (through Microsoft Cursor Library only)
SQLForeignKeys
SQLMoreResults
SQLNumParam
SQLPrimaryKeys
SQLProcedureColumns
SQLProcedures
SQLSetPos (through Microsoft Cursor Library only)"
In order to test the configuration, I also copied the entries in the tnsnames and listener files, created a separate DSN, and set up a connection to an Access database - and this works fine, so I don't believe it is a configuration problem.
Is there anyone out there who has tried to connect to ingres, and is there an issue with the ingres ODBC driver.
Any help appreciated.

I'm using the Ingres 2.80.00.64 driver on NT successfully with hsodbc delivered with V92 Oracle database release.
About the provided trace file... Normally you should have a look at the odbc driver AND the hsodbc log file to see the real cause.
But according t the file you provided:
This error is normal: [G000]
The S1009 needs more clarification and thus an ODBC driver trace would help as well.

About the generic connectivity error.

I use the Generic Connectivity to link a mySQL database and appeared some mistakes:
ORA-28500: [Generic Connectivity Using ODBC][MySQL][ODBC 5.1 Driver]Access denied for user 'SA'@'SERVER' (using password: YES) (SQL State: S1000; SQL Code: 1045)
Is that the reason why?
I checked once, that my ODBC parameter establishes normally.

you need to surround the username and password while creating the database link to SQL Server with DOUBLE QUOTES.
Look at the error message; it states: SA instead of sa.
As MS SQL Server usernames/passwords as well as columns and tables are case sensitive for some settings you need to define the db link using double quotes as follows:
create database link server connect to "sa" identified by "PaSSworD" using '<tns alias>':

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.

Could not find symbol 'SQLAllocConnect' for generic connectivity

Hi,
I am using Oracle 10gR2 64-bit on Linux 64-bit. I am trying to connect to an MSSQL box on Windows. I know that hsodbc is officially not supported on 64-bit OS.
My connection using freetds works as well from unixODBC (verified by tsql, isql). The problem is in the next layer up - hsodbc. I copied it from a 32-bit Linux box as it was 0 bytes on 64-bit box.
Here is what I have in initSQLGUY.ora -
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = sqltest
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 4
HS_FDS_TRACE_FILE_NAME = freetds.trc
HS_FDS_SHAREABLE_NAME = /usr/local/lib/libodbc.so
# ODBC specific environment variables
set ODBCINI=/usr/local/etc/odbc.ini
set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/opt/oracle/product/10.2/lib32
where sqltest is the name of my dsn. My listener.ora has -
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = SQLGUY)
(ORACLE_HOME = /opt/oracle/product/10.2)
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
(ENVS=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/opt/oracle/product/10.2/lib32)
My tnsnames.ora has -
sqlguyid=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=myhost.mydomain.com)(PORT=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA= (SID=SQLGUY))
(HS=OK)
with this configuration, tnsping works -
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION= (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=myhost.mydomain.com)(PORT=1521)) (CONNECT_DATA= (SID=SQLGUY)) (HS=OK))
OK (0 msec)
However my db link fails with -
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[Generic Connectivity Using ODBC]DRV_InitTdp: DB_ODBC_INTERFACE (718): ; [C077]
Could not find symbol 'SQLAllocConnect' in dynamic library
DB_ODBC_INTERFACE (722): ; [C079] Failed to load dynamic library
'/usr/local/lib/libodbc.so'
ORA-02063: preceding 3 lines from SQLGUYLNK
I am sure that others have gotten this to work in the past. I must be missing something trivial. Can anyone please point out what I need to do to get this working?
Thanks

You didn't explicite mention it, but I assume you are using a 32bit ODBC driver?
The SQLAllocConnect function is built into the ODBC driver manager which is refered in your case as: /usr/local/lib/libodbc.so
- check out this library exists and has sufficient permissins to be loaded by the Oracle user
- check out this library is 32 bit
- check out this library contains the SQLAllocConnect symbol
