Oracle Merant driver not available

Hi friends,
For Creating ODBC Database Connections for DAC Client, i need to create ODBC connection and for it i tried to give ODBC connection for oracle database and they adviced the below points in the docs like
To create ODBC connections for Oracle databases
1. On the Windows machine that will host the DAC Client, navigate to the ODBC
Data Source Administrator.
Use the System DSN tab of the ODBC Data Source Administrator to create an
ODBC connection to the Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse database using the
Oracle Merant ODBC driver that is supplied with Oracle BI Applications.
For example, you might create a database connection called Connect_to_OLAP.
2. Click the System DSN tab.
3. Click Add.
4. In the list of drivers, select the Oracle Merant ODBC driver that is installed with
DAC, for example, Oracle Merant ODBC Driver in DAC 10g_Oracle - OH1.
But i couldnt find Oracle Merant ODBC Driver in DAC 10g_Oracle - OH1 driver in my System DSN, hence i have installed DAC softwares successfully. Then how it is possible to establish a ODBC Connection to DAC like mentioned in docs.
The drivers that i found are below like
Oracle BI Server 11g_OH161304452
Oracle in OraClient11g_home1
Informatica Data Services ODBC Driver
MERANT OEM 5.3 32-BIT Btrieve
Whether it is possible to establish a ODBC connections using the above drivers or i need to install Merant ODBC driver inorder to establish ODBC Connection.
Kindly advice me.
Regards,
Saro

Hi Svee,
Thanks for the reply again, yes i can find "odbcad32.exe"
C:\WINDOWS\system32 and SysWOW64.
Soon after clicking that, the ODBC Data Source Administrator open(in which it generally opens (via) Administrative tools>>Data Sources(ODBC))
But in that svee, i can find so many Merant drivers under System DSN tab along with the below drivers
Oracle BI Server 11g_OH161304452
Oracle in OraClient11g_home1
Informatica Data Services ODBC Driver
SQL ServerThese are the MERANT Drivers that are available
MERANT OEM 5.3 32BIT(xml, txtfile, Sysbase wire protocol, SQL Sever protocol, Oracle wire protocol etc)
Whether i need to choose any one of those merant drivers. I choosed and tried with Oracle wire protocol but it is returning error like Registry not found.
So, like you said
Since you got Oracle 32 bit client this should work.
I tried with the Oracle client driver "Oracle in OraClient11g_home1" and tried to configure with the user but it resulted in error like ORA-12170 TNS: Connect timeout Occurred. Since my tnsping odbidb1 is pinging.
What might be the problem Svee.
And also i created too many users in my database with the following table spaces like
Users----->Table spaces
DAC---->OBIEE_TOOLS
INFO--->OBIEE_DATA
BIAPPS-->EBSAPPS
BIAPPS--->BIAPPS
In the above i used the user INFO while installing informatica server.
So, whether i need to use the same user INFO while configuring with DAC, in the sense while connecting ODBC connectivity for the DAC(for username/Password) whether i need to use the same user INFO or else i need to use the other user that i created.
Thanks.
REgards,

  • Oracle (OCI8) driver not available!

    I have installed DAC successfully. So I start my client and am trying to create a new connection.

  • I can not update to itunes 10.4, and when I try manually it keeps saying error f drive not available??

    I have tried loads of times to update to Itunes 10.4 but it fails every time and tells me to try and download the file manually then install it but this also fails and keeps giving me a error of "F drive not available"
    I have itunes on a removable hard drive on my laptop if this makes any difference
    Please help
    Thanks

    Open a Windows Command prompt, e.g. Hit Start > Run, type in CMD and press OK. Type in SUBST F C:\<enter>
    This will map F: to C: until the machine is restarted or you enter
    SUBST F: /D at the command prompt. Now you can try uninstalling or upgrading the software again. (If upgrading the software, install the software in the default location, not on the F:\ drive.)

    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.

  • Hp laserjet 1022 driver not available

    I am running 10.8.2 on a MacBookPro.  After the recent update of the OS my HP Laserjet 1022 stopped functioning.  In Mountain Lion, the HP drivers are meant to be installed by the OS. However all my attempts to update the driver software from within System Preferences, to to install a new printer have failed.  I always get an error message saying that the appropriate software was not available on the server. Anyone have any ideas on hwo to fix this, or where to get driver software that I can manually install?

    Power cycle both devices and try by downloading manually necessary drivers:

    After downloading software, try add your printer again.
    Acording to this:

    Your printer is supported.

  • Network Drives not available in Applications?

    Hi,
    I have a mcabook pro running leopard and another mac on my network that is not. This other mac has my firewire drive hooked up to it and all my files are saved there. I can access the other computer and drive just fine through the finder but when I am in an application the other computer and the drive are not available when I am trying to open or save a file. Can anyone help? Is there a way to add an icon for my other computer to the dock or to my desktop?

    That's a large part of the problem. You have more than one font manager on your Mac. If you're not using Font Book, delete it. Then you need to reset its orphaned database so OS X stops trying to control which fonts are, or aren't active according to that data.
    To remove Font Book from the hard drive, follow these steps:
    1) Open Font Book, and then its preferences. Uncheck the box for "Alert me if system fonts change". Close the preferences and shut down Font Book. Put the Font Book application in the trash and delete it.
    2) Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding it until OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally.
    This will reset Font Book's database and clear the cache files in your user account. The main goal in this step is to remove the orphaned Font Book database from the hard drive. With the Font Book application no longer on the hard drive, a new one cannot be created. Which is what we want.
    3) Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
    sudo atsutil databases -remove
    This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and all user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

    Hi,

  • Time Machine external USB drive not available at boot

    I have a late 2012 iMac running Mavericks 10.4.9. I use Time Machine with a Toshiba 3TB external drive.  The Toshiba drive is usually left powered up.  Every time I boot the iMac and try to force a backup, Time Machine reports the Toshiba disk is not available.  When I open Time Machine preferences, the Toshiba drive does not show until I power-cycle it and re-select it.   Also occasionally it reports that I did not eject it properly.  But it NEVER shows in Devices or on my desk top (like a thumb-drive does for example) so I wouldn't know how to eject it anyway.
    Any ideas on where I am going wrong?
    Thanks!
