Oracle Discoverer 4i (portal db - oracle 8i) connectivity issue with 11g database

Hi All
We have oracle discoverer 4i with portal db (oracle 8i).
We connect to the external databases using db links in the portal db and the reports will use the db link to retrieve the data from views in the external databases.
External databases we were connecting is oracle 10g version and now we have upgraded these databases to 11g version.
Now i have a created a new db link to this 11g database and i have created a new EUL in portal to connect to this 11g database.
But when i try to create a report using the discoverer from this new EUL after login to the discoverer we get a "cannot connect to database" error.
We have all the necesscary privilege to the user and the new database link works perfectly fine. (when we try to query directly using SQL plus from portal database using this db link the query works perfectly fine).
Im not sure if this is a compatibility issue in connecting from oracle disc 4i to a 11g database.
Can any one advise if this is the case and if there is any workaround for this?
Regards,
Raj

Are you saying you are having issues with a database link between 8i and 11g (pl post exact versions to 4 digits) ? If so, it should be expected as database links between these two versions are not supported. Is there a reason you cannot upgrade the portal database to at least 10gR2 ?

  • Phpmyadmin connection issue with mysql database on local computer

    Got mysql and phpmyadmin installed on my iMac. I open phpmyadmin site in safari and try to login to the database and I get the following error:
    "Safari can’t open the page “http://imac.local/phpMyAdmin/index.php?lang=en-utf-8&token=872752b265e4d375dddae b18d06bd85b” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection, which sometimes occurs when the server is busy. You might be able to open the page later."
    I can connect to the sql database okay from the mysql manager gui just fine. Any suggestions?

    Hi David-
    Thank you for your QUICK and CORRECT reply!  Yes, creating the _mmServerScripts folder in my SSL folder on my remote server did the trick!!
    I did try to setup a testing server using one of your tutorials, but I received FTP errors.  Since I have a working website with remote and testing flagged on the same server and for my ease of understanding, I copied the setup as closely as I could (less the SSL add-on).  Mind you, I originally setup that website 3 years ago, so I'm a bit rusty.  I'm not a web developer and don't do this for a living, thus I get by with instructions from the books I own, web tutorials, Adobe forums, etc., but I have not taken any classes.  It's not my choice to work with PHP, but I have to in order to pull data from database tables into my web pages.  Since I don't do this for paying customers, I don't have to setup anything too fancy (thank goodness).  I would like to know how to debug and write java script code, but I lack the time and patience (mostly patience).
    Besides...Adobe does such a good job with their products, that I can get by pretty well without having to know everything.
    Again, THANK YOU!!!
    PS- Would you mind replacing my root site info above with the following:  www.sitename.com/ssl/

  • CR2008 connectivity issue with BOE Universes(sap and non sap universes)

    Hi Experts !!
    Recently we tried to build/connect to a Universe in Crystal Reports2008 via 'Make a new connection tab'.
    The universes are of SAP BW or non SAP Lying in BOE Servers and we are trying to build reports on them by conncting/utilizing the universes as a database for Crystal Reporting.
    Our issue is most of the time we are not able to connect to the Universes and the connectivity blows out by some 'communication Error' thing initially.
    While at some other points in time, the connectivity takes us to the Universe and we are able to select few characteristics and key figures from the Universe but the moment we go futher and try to run by pressing 'OK' button it blows out and say' LOGON FAILED'.
    Apparantly, it is an connectivity issue with BOE server and from the different blogs it looks like it is a known issue for long.
    The proposed issue resolution were like either CR2008 should be SP2 with BOE SP3 or there should be some additional .dll files defined in the paths in case of MSSQL database. None of this applies to us as we are on CR2008 with SP3 and going back to SP2 is probably not a viable option for us, and we are using Oracle as underlying database in this specific case.( i would like to tell you here that we are able to connect to Oracle Database directly though).
    We have raised a message with SAP and was just wondering if we do have some solution/workaround already available to this known issue in place please?
    Thanks&Regards.

    Hi Amit,
    Moved to Universe Forum.
    If you have a case logged then no point posting here also, this is a public site and not a case management tool.
    Once you do get the solution from your case please post it here also to help others if they have the same problem.

  • Connection issues with Safari 3

    I'm having some connection issues with Safari 3.
    When I connect wirelessly, Safari won't load any web pages. I go and use Firefox and everything is just peachy.
    I've reset Safari, emptied the cache and whatnot. I went in and checked the permissions, everything checks out.
    When I connect with Ethernet, there's nothing wrong, which is my dilemma.
    Help would be greatly appreciated.

    There are a number of posts in the Leopard forum from people with direct experience with upgrading from Panther to Leopard. Here is a relevant thread from there that should reassure you.:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1418714
    Your system should be fine for Leopard, but you will probably need a current version of Photoshop if you don't already have it. See this download:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/products/pdfs/leopardsupport.pdf
    Also, Leopard doesn't run Classic (OS 9) apps.
    One caveat - first make a bootable backup "clone" of your present system onto an external firewire drive so you can recover if anything goes wrong. You can use the "Restore" tab of Disk Utility to make such a clone, and there are also Panther-compatible versions of Carbon Copy Cloner (v 2.3) and SuperDuper (v 2.1.4), both excellent for this.
    It's even possible to a create second Panther clone on a different external volume to create a "dual-boot" system, using that volume to continue to run old applications that you can't run with Leopard.

  • Connection issues with EA4500

    I had bad connection issues with my mobile device, so i pressed reset on my EA4500 router, and now when i connect to my network, it gives my limited connection even though i have 5 bars of signal. Not sure what to do now...

    Resetting the router will erase all the settings you configured on the router since the initial setup. You manually configure the router's wireless settings so your wireless devices can have internet access again.
    Procedure: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=cfb50c0dc992443ab2405a782cca60f7_19073.xml&pid=80&...
    Make sure to use a computer that is hardwired via Ethernet cable to the router.

  • I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on my MacBook. Constantly dropping internet connection or message "error connecting to the network" comes up. No wireless connectivity issues with windows 7 laptop or iphone.

    I have a MacBook with Snow Leopard 10.6.8. The last few weeks it has been constantly dropping internet connection, and one of these messages appear on the page: "Safari cannot open this page because the server where this page is located isn't responding" or "Safari cannot open this page because you are not connected to the internet" comes up. I will check Wifi and I am connected. No wifi connectivity issues with iphone or windows 7 laptop, this doesn't happen with either of those devices. I have unplugged and reset router, cleared cache, still happening. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

  • SFTP connection issue with Dreamweaver 2014

    I have a very weird SFTP connection issue with Dreamweaver CC (2014). I am on a Mac running 10.9.4 and have no problem connecting to my server through SFTP with Dreamweaver CS 6. However, using the exact same settings on CC (2014), I get the following error: "An FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to host. Your login or password is incorrect. Please check your connection information".
    I am truly at a loss here. Command line connection works without problems.
    Any thoughts?

    Hi there,
    Try after rebooting your system or in a different user account on MAC.
    Is there any limit with number of login sessions with your SFTP?
    Could you check with Filezila or similar FTP client and connect to your site, see if you get any error there?
    Thanks.

  • Query regarding connecting dashboards with SQL DATABASE using WSDT

    Hello Sir,
    I am trying to connect dashboards with Sql database via WSDT, but i have encountered the same problem as described in your SAP community blog (SAP Web Service Design Tool: From web service creation to Xcelsius consumption).
    when i tried connecting CR server with WSDT ,it still shows that total number of available licenses is 0.
    What can be done to solve this issue.
    for your detail reference, we are using CRS NUL version's 60 days Evaluation keys and same with Xcelsius Departmental edition.
    I would really appreciate, if you revert back to my mail as soon as possible

    Which version of Crystal Reports are you using? The regular ReportDocument SDK probably isn't robust enough to handle this, unless you create a connection using that connection string at design-time which you don't change at runtime. You might be able to add those properties using the in-proc RAS SDK, though. This is available with CRXI R2 as of SP2, and CR2008.

  • Anyone else having repeated wifi connectivity issues with the OSX version 10.8.5?

    I just updated the software on my iMac to OS X version 10.8.5. Now I am having repeated connectivity issues with the wifi in my house. This is the only device that is having these issues. My phone, ipad and tv are not having any problems at all.
    It happened immediately following the update. I was sending emails and browsing before the update without a problem.
    from apple:

    I had a message like that last week - only it asked what browser I would be using - I just quit safari - purges caches etc - and at that time noticed I was getting RSS feeds through PUBSUB - tracking them down to the top sites view I never use - I deleted all of the top sites (most of which I don't go into so it must have been a preset) that included MSN and Google - I don't use google so that was pointless.  (deleting a top site means you are blocking it from that page)    Have not had the message since so it must have had something to do with top sites activity.
    Just a note:  Did see somewhere probably BBC tech - that Google was going to stop supporting older web browsers.

  • Connectivity Issue with FIOS

    Hey all,
    Has anyone in the Tampa, FL 33629 area had connectivity issues with their FIOS services? My current setup is a Motorola modem that is plugged into a D-Link Router that was provided by VZ.  At the D-Link located outside of the house the connectivity light is flashing red and according to the legend it indicates that it has passed the test but is having communication issues.  This has been occurring over the past few weeks.  The first call to customer service, after diagnostics where run and the outside unit was unplugged and battery were removed as well as all modems and routers being reset, the service rep scheduled a tech to come out.  The next morning it seemed like everything was back to normal.  Since then we have had intermittent service and I am currently without phone and Internet access (bundled the phone, TV, and Internet) for a couple of days due to their internal service report and dispatching system being unavailable.  Just curious if anyone else has encounter this issue.
    Thanks,
    JB
