PowerBuilder connectivity with Oracle 9i or 10g

We are working on a project that involves migration of data from Informix to Oracle 9i/10g. The application is built on PowerBuilder 6.0.
We need to have the application continue to run in PowerBuilder 6.0. We are trying to find out if necessary drivers are available in the market to establish connectivity between PB6.0 and Oracle 9i or 10g.
It will be of great help if you could share any information you may have on this.

I know it's possible-- I work at a site that is running PowerBuilder and Oracle 9.2. I don't do much work with the PowerBuilder app, but I thought it was just using ODBC to make the database connection. If so, you should just be able to use Oracle's ODBC drivers.

1. Is the connection url correct?
"jdbc:oracle:thin:@PLANET:1521:ORCL" is fine.
2. Is the TNS listener started?
c:\oracle\product\ora10\bin> lsnrctl status
3. Is a firewall between client and database server?
Connection url with firewall would be different.

How to use JavaMail 1.4 with Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4.0.0)

Hi all,
I'd like to know if it's possible and how to use JavaMail 1.4 with Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4.0.0), Windows version.
With the following code, I can see that the mail.jar used by the server is the one included in the jdk installation :
// I'm testing InternetAddress.class because I want to use commons-email-1.2.jar that requires mail.jar 1.4 (or higher) and activation.jar 1.1 (or higher)
// and I know that inside the commons-email-1.2.jar file, I need to call the InternetAddress.validate() method that throws a java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress.validate()V if it is used with mail.jar 1.2.
Class cls = javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress.class;
java.security.ProtectionDomain pDomain = cls.getProtectionDomain();
java.security.CodeSource cSource = pDomain.getCodeSource();
java.net.URL location = cSource.getLocation();
System.out.println(location.toString());
This code returns : file:/C:/oracle/app/jdk/jre/lib/ext/mail.jar and this mail.jar file has an implementation version number: 1.2
- I've tried to include my own mail.jar (1.4.2) and activation.jar (1.1.1) files in the war file that I deploy, but it doesn't work (the server still uses the same mail.jar 1.2)
- I've tried to put the mail.jar (1.4.2) and activation.jar (1.1.1) files in the applib directory of my OC4J instance, but it doesn't work (the server still uses the same mail.jar 1.2)
- I know that a patch exists : I've read the following document: How to Make Libraries such as mail.jar and activation.jar Swappable ? [ID 552432.1]
This article talks about the Patch 6514136, but this patch only applies to : Oracle Containers for J2EE - Version: 10.1.3.3.0
Can you please help me ?
Thanks in advance for your answers,
Laurent

I strongly suggest to upgrade to AS 10.1.3 to get this.
Think of future support of AS 9.0.4. You will get not critical patch updates anymore.

Cannot establish connection with Oracle database

Hello
This is the first time I use BOE server with Crystal Report to execute some tests, and one issue is blocking me now, and I am not even sure if this is the right Forum where I should post it.
I installed BOE server XI 3.1 SP4 on Linux machine (new installation), and then I uploaded some existing Crystal Report templates that are working fine on another BOE server. Those CR templates have to establish a connection with a remote Oracle database to get the data, and we pass all credentials for this purpose.
The first time I run my first test I received this error that I could not find anywhere on the web :
ErrorLog 2011 8 10 7:05:52.505 14215 356 (Administrator:82) (../reporthandler.cpp:12462): CReportHandler::buildReportViewerError: CSResultExceFailed to open the connection." FileName:"../reporthandler.cpp" LineNum:12458 ErrorCode:756 ErrorMsg:"Failed to open the connection.
{FBAD55EE-BEAF-11E0-BC1C-005056813A72}.rpt" DetailedErrorMsg:""
I believe that the CR was not able to establish the connection with Oracle, so I install Oracle Client on the same machine (test remote connection ==> pass), I set the ORACLE_HOME variable, and I edit the file <installation_home>/ bobje/java/CRConfig.xml to add the path to ojdbc14.jar, and finnaly restart the tomcat server. However I am still getting the same error message.
Is there any hint that can help me troubleshooting this issue?
Thank you

do the reports use native oracle connectivity or JDBC ?
what version of Oracle client did you install ?
was it 32bit or 64bit client ?
what your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable set to ?
what does it say in the CMC when you look at CR report's DB properties ?

Correct version of jdeveloper to use with Oracle App Server 10g 10.1.2.0.2

Hi,
I just want to be sure, I am new to JDeveloper and I would just like to verify/ask what correct version of JDeveloper should we use so we could deploy the finished applications on our Oracle Application Server 10g 10.1.2.0.2 without errors?
Looking at this support matrix: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/htdocs/11/as_supportmatrix.html#1013
I think we can use JDeveloper 10g (10.1.2)?
I downloaded Jdeveloper 10.1.2 from this link: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/jdev/htdocs/soft10g.html.
Will this work well with Oracle Application Server 10g 10.1.2.0.2?
Thank you very much,
Mickey

Yes, it works well.

Using multipool Connections with Oracle 8i OPS Parallel Server

Does anyone have any experience using multipool JDBC connections with Oracle 8i OPS? During a oracle node failure, we are seeing all of the connections fail. Any help you could give me her would be greatly appreciated!

HalHi Hal. All that seems fine, as it should be. Tell me how you
enact a failure so that you'd expect one pool to still be good

The network adapter could not establish the connection with Oracle

I installed Oracle in my laptop (windows 2008), and install Hyperion 11.1.2, when I configure Hyperion, it pops up with "the network adapter could not establish the connection with Oracle"?

Hi,
This usually means that the connection details you have put in for Oracle are incorrect or Oracle can not be contacted.
Double check your configuration connection details and make sure you can access Oracle using them details.
Cheers

Oracle workflow with oracle stardard edition 10g

I have read this document id on metalink about the difference between different edition of oracle database 10:
271886.1
but there is anything about oracle workflow.
Can I use Oracle workflow with oracle stardard edition 10g?

I would suggest to get in touch with your Oracle vendor to find out more details on this one. Looks like an additional license.

Forms 6i is not connecting with Oracle 11g database?

Forms 6i is not connecting with Oracle 11g database?
How to resolve this issue?

Hi,
Once you installed the Forms and Reports, you need to configure the paramters like tnsnames.ora in you path.
There will be one folder in the Installation path of Forms and Reports search for tnsnames.ora file..and you need to Updated the file as per the which ORACLE Server you are connecting and then try.. it..
Default path for forms will be "ORACLE_HOME/net80/admin".. search for tnsnames.ora and modify it..

Exmpl of Servlet connect with ORacle

Hi folks,
Can anyone send me example of Java Servlet connectivity with Oracle.
i m not able to connect servlet with oracle.
u guys can reply me on [email protected]
thanks
dal hit

No.
The code for connecting to Oracle from a Servlet is no different from connecting to Oracle from any other Java application. So tell you what, you show us what you've tried and the error message(s) and we'll help you debug it.
99.999% of the time it's a failure to put the driver Jar file into the classpath, the specifics of which vary from application server to application server. Which one are you using?
u guys can reply me on [email protected]
We can, but we won't. This is not your personal bugfixing service. Pay if you want that kind of help. If you want it for free, do it through the forums or go away.
Probably you'll never read this response, but that's your problem not mine.

"stack overflow" when trying to connect with Oracle ODBC

Hi,
I'm trying to connect to Oracle DB (8.1.7.3.0) from WinNT 4.0 SP6 with Oracle ODBC driver 8.0.6.6.0. I've been trying to connect with "Oracle ODBC Test" and with "MS Query". In either way I end up with Dr. Watson reporting about "stack overflow". Before starting to upgrade ODBC driver I wanted to ask - should these versions of driver and DB work together at all (even unofficially)? Or may I be missing some other thing? Any hints, ideas are welcome.
Regards,
Madis Priilinn

Thank You for replying, Justin!
Yes, I can connect successfully to the database through other tools - at the moment I tried SQL*Plus, Net8 Easy Config and Schema Manager.
The Oracle client in the NT machine is 8.0.5.0.0. And unfortunately I do not know anything about the Oracle installation on this machine and at the moment I don't have that person near me too whom to ask also. But I think the installation was ok, because the connection through ODBC was working before the DB upgrade as far as I understood (sorry, again at the moment I don't know what was the previous version of DB. I will ask that information as soon as possible).
The main problem that bothers me at the moment is that I can't install 8.1.* series OraODBC driver with 8.0.5.0.0 Oracle Installer. I managed to install 8.0.6.6.0 version of the driver, but not the newer ones. As far as I've understood I have to upgrade the whole Oracle in the NT machine to upgrade that installer. Am I correct?

Madis Priilinn

Extending Domain with Oracle Access Manager 10g

Chapter 10 - Extending the Domain with Oracle Access Manager 10g
- Section 10.4.3 Installing WebGate on OAMADMINHOST, WEBHOST1, and WEBHOST2
Question:
How many webgate instances should be created?
1) Is there only on instance and the three installation share the same ID?
2) Is there two instances? one for the web cluster, the other for the OAM Admin Console server?
3) Is there three separate webgates and instances?
Thanks

It should be this way:
Ebiz:
1. Integrate OAM with OASSO
2. Register OASSO and OID with Ebiz11.5.10.2
3. Protect the resource in OAM
4. Verify if authentication is successful for this resource.
Obiee:
1. Integrate OBIEE with OAM
2. Verify if authentication is successful for this resource.
IWA:
1. Install IIS webser and webgate
2. Create authentication scheme which protects / of IIS web server.
Create a Form Authentication Scheme(this scheme should protect OBIEE and EBiz resource) which will have challenge redirect to IIS web server where IWA is configured and / is protected.
Login Flow:
1. User tries to access ebiz or obiee resource.
2. Form Authentication Scheme will challenge redirect to IIS web server where IWA is configured.
3. As IWA is configured. User will be automatically get ObSSOCookie.
4. User gets redirected back to the requested resource.
There is a My oracle support doc which talks in details about this setup.

Installing Forms&Report Services with Oracle Application Server 10g Rel 3

Can I Install Forms & Report Services with Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 some how?
I am thinking of installing Forms & Reports Services in separate home with Oracle Application Server 10g Rel 3.
Does any body has any different idea so that they both can run more smoothly together.
Thanks

They WILL NOT RUN TOGETHER. We have discussed this many times before. They must be in separate homes.
