RPAS ODBC connection problem

I’m working on integration of OBIEE and RPAS, and I could use some help. Could anyone help me with a problem?
I’m trying to connect the RPAS ODBC driver from my pc to the RPAS running in a Linux Virtual Machine.
I’ve already connected that to the Management Console and, when I create an ODBC connection the Service Data Source names are presented to me (I think the connection is working). But, when I try to test the connection, I receive a message telling the connection was closed(dropped?) unexpectedly.
any ideia of whats happening?

Hi Jeff,
I just tried to create a new report using the native driver and there is no option to use Trusted Authentication. This would be why it's failing.
I don't believe we fully supported Native driver in Cr XI. Try downloading CR Xi R2 and install SP6 from this info:
Go to this link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc and download the trial version of CR XI R2 and use your XI keycode, then apply the patches which you can get to by clicking on the BusinessObjects tab above, then Downloads.
Direct link to the Trial version: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
I tested it in R2 and the Trusted Authentication option is there so your reports should work.
Thank you
Don

ODBC Connection problem with SQL Native Client driver with CR 11

I am having an issue connecting my crystal reports to an ODBC connection that uses the SQL Native Client driver (Version 2005.90.2047.00). My reports work fine when using the SQL Server driver (Version 2000.85.3006.00). The ODBC connection is setup to use Integrated Windows Authentication and is defaulted to go to the correct database. When I test the ODBC connection in the 'ODBC Data Source Adminstrator' it connects fine.
The reports are trying to connect to stored procedures on a SQL Server 2005 database. I can log onto the ODBC connection in CR X1. When I try to set the Datasource connection for one of my reports to the ODBC connection I created, I get the following error:
'Some tables could not be replaced, as no match was found in the new data source. Please specify the table required for any unmodified tables.'
When I drill down to the SP and try to update the datasource location of the SP directly I get the following errors:
'Data Object cannot be opened/accessed'
and
'Unknown Database Connector Error'
As I said, I don't have any problems when using the SQL Server 2000 driver. One other thing to mention, when I initially connect to the ODBC connection in CR X1 with the SQL Native Client driver, it asks for a username and password. I leave these blank since I'm using Windows Authentication.
Any advice would be appreciated.

32 bit vs 64 bit odbc connection problems

Good morning,
I am trying to connect a powershell script that worked fine on a 32 bit system, but now will not work on a 64 bit system. This script connects to a odbc connection and connects to a remedy ticket system and pulls information to move over to my Outlook
calendar.
The error am getting is:
Exception calling "Open" with "0" argument(s): "ERROR [IM014] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application"
At C:\Users\Public\Documents\RemedyCRQ.ps1:25 char:17
+ $connection.Open <<<< ()
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DotNetMethodException
The code that is running this is below:
$script:showWindowAsync = Add-Type –memberDefinition @”
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
public static extern bool ShowWindowAsync(IntPtr hWnd, int nCmdShow);
“@ -name “Win32ShowWindowAsync” -namespace Win32Functions –passThru
$null = $showWindowAsync::ShowWindowAsync((Get-Process –id $pid).MainWindowHandle, 2)
$connection = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection
$command = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand
$command.Connection = $connection
$remedyTickets = @()
$connectionString = "DSN=remedy"
$connection.ConnectionString = $connectionString
$connection.Open()
I would appreciate it if someone had some insight to offer. I've looked around and have created the ODBC connection on the 32 bit odbc version c:\windows\sysWOW64\odbcad32.exe. Doesn't seem to have changed anything. Ive created it both
as a user and system DSN.

Add the below code in to your Script.
if ([environment]::Is64BitProcess -eq $True)
C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -File "script filename"
Exit
Note: The path I used is for Windows 7, you need to figure out the path for your OS.

ODBC Connection problems

If anyone can help, please do - I've been at this for 8 hours now and am no further forward!
I'm trying to create a form with about 10 fields (2 of which are drop down lists) that users will enter data into over an intranet. The data should then go into an Access 2000 table sitting on a server.
For the moment though, everything I'm doing is local to my own PC (no test environment)and I've created the ODBC links through system DSN. The connection tests fine, but when I try to link to my table within Adobe Designer (the OLEDB Connection Dialog box) I get a "Could Not Open Table "tablename"" error message.
I've noticed that at this point, my access lock file appears in my file system but this shouldn't make a difference - I've written fairly complex sytems using basic Access built in tools but this is a flat file so should be simple (or so I thought). I also can't delete the lock file until I come out of the designer.
I don't know where to start with XML, SQL or VB so everything I'm using is built into the software. I've read most of the forum postings and I'm hopeing that as a lot of you know much more about web technologies that this NewB you'd be able to help....
Thanks in advance.

I have a simular problem when using following connection string there is a error:
Provider=MSDASQL.1;Persist Security Info=False;Extended Properties="DSN=MS Access Database;DBQ=C:\Access2000\text.mdb;DefaultDir=C:\Access2000;DriverId=25;FIL=MS Access;MaxBufferSize=2048;PageTimeout=5;UID=admin;"
Connection sor Source XXXXX faild because the environment is not trusted
How can I make the environment trusted?

Its urgent......

well,i think nobody has interest in my question.I have asked two questions.
1)Can anybody tell me the compatibilities of JDBC-ODBC bridge versions,oracle and ODBC drivers?
2)And can u tell me how to connect to oracle through a pure Java JDBC drivers (type 4 drivers) on a standalone system?
But u advise me not to use JDBC-ODBC bridge without studying the other part.

Oracle 9i DB ODBC Connectivity Problem

i have oracle 9i release 9.0.1.0.1 and i want to use the oracle 9i DB in my VB Appplication how can i connect to the DB and what driver should i use.

You will need to install the Oracle client on whatever machine(s) your application will be running on. The Oracle client will include a version of the Oracle ODBC driver. You can download an updated version from OTN, you just need to make sure that you match the version of the driver and the version of the Oracle client, i.e. the 9.2.0.x Oracle ODBC driver should be used on a 9.2 Oracle client, the 9.0.1.x Oracle ODBC driver should be used on a 9.0.1 Oracle client.
Realistically, it doesn't matter much which version of the Oracle client you use. All else being equal, I would probably install the 9.2 Oracle client, but if other versions of the client are already installed, I wouldn't sweat it too much.

11g 64-bit unable to create ODBC connection

Hello,
I am currently facing issue related to ODBC connection. Details of configuration is as follows
OS: Vista 64 Home Premium
Oracle DB 11g 64bit: ver 11.1.0.6.0,plus the addition of the fix for bug 7389110 (as per release notes)
ODBC driver location: C:\app\oracle\product\11.1.0\db1\BIN\sqora32.dll
It appears and works well from 32 bit ODBC connection manager. However, it's not visible/available from 64 bit ODBC connection manager. Oracle installation repository appears under 64 bit area ("Program Files") and not under "Program Files (x86)". Assuming it might be a problem with installation I have also tried copying registry entries under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC with no luck.
Any help to create ODBC connection is much appreciated
Thanks,
Hemant
Please do not respond to this question here. I am moving it to ODBC forum area

ODBC connection not able to see all schemas

Hi everyone,
We have noticed an unusual problem that just recently started. In our database, I have created a read-only user - only has the ability to connect to the database, and SELECT ANY TABLE. Then we have some applications (Crystal Reports and Lotus Notes Agents) that use this user to query data. The applications use an ODBC connection, and when we initially set this up, everything worked beautifully.
However, suddenly we have noticed that the ODBC connection is not able to see all of the schemas in the database. We have tested and confirmed this - using either 9.02 ODBC or 10.01, this happens with both of them. I created a couple new ODBC connections, one for each version, then I try to create a new Crystal Report, using this ODBC connection - when I connect using the read-only user, it connects just fine, but when it shows me all of the schemas available, I am only seeing about half of them (and of course not seeing the one that I really need to see).
However, when I use Microsoft Access, and try to import some External Data, and I use the same ODBC connections, then I AM seeing all of the schemas.
Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Any ideas on what I can do to troubleshoot?
Thanks,
Brad

I'm trying to get this issue figured out. Can you
tell me what you mean when you ask me to log in
directly as the same user using ODBC and query
ALL_TABLES - how would I do that?Using whatever Oracle database account you use in Crystal, log in to the database using SQL*Plus (or your favorite GUI like SQL Developer) and run a query like
SELECT owner, table_name
FROM all_tablesDoes that query show all the tables you expect, or are you missing some?
Also, you mention a parameter in the ODBC API that
controls which schemas are returned - is there any
way to see that value?An ODBC trace might show the value, I don't recall if the actual value is written out in the trace. Different front-end tools often have a place that allows you to filter out certain schemas, which is generally done by passing in a parameter to this ODBC API call. I don't know enough about your tools, though, to know where this might be.
Are there any other ODBC drivers I could try?There are plenty of third party ODBC drivers out there, but I would tend to be suprised if the ODBC driver was at fault here. You could also try patching the ODBC driver and/or Oracle client to the most recent patchsets.

Visio Database Wizard fails - ODBC connection to MS SQL

When I try to create an ODBC connection in Visio's 2010's Database wizard I get the error: "Cannot set the database context information. Additional error information:ODBC Error: s1009. Database cxweba does not exist."
Note that the database name is cxwebapp_bkk. I get the same error if I connect to any database on that server, and it always truncates the name in the error message (if that is a hint to the error).
Using Visio 2013, after connecting to the database: when I select the database object I get the error message: "The selected table has only one field or contains no definition information. The Database Wizard requires a minimum of one key field
and one additional data field."
I have this problem using both SQL Server driver (6.02.9200.116384 and SQL Server Native Client 11.0 (2011.1102.2100.60).
I do not have this problem connecting to a MYSQL database with either version of Visio, nor do I have this problem when I link link to the same SQL database in a drawing and link shapes in that drawing using the "Link Data to Shapes" under the
Data tab.

Hello,
What's the version of the SQL Server instance you connect to? It seems that the Database Wizard in Visio 2010 not work well with the Microsoft SQL Server ODBC driver. Did you try to use the Generic OLEDB Provider for SQL Server?
Since the issue is more related to office Visio, please post the question in the following forum. More experts there will assist you:

Multi Value Parameter with ODBC Connection

Hi Everyone . . .
I am stuck, and have been since Monday :/ . . .
Backgroud:
I am using Report Builder 3.0 with an ODBC connection to build reports off of our Vertica DB. This part is going swimmingly, thanks to the help I recieved from this forum.
Now, some of the queries that I am using (or reports I guess) require parameters. I was attempting the @Parameter and quickly realized this was not possible with the ODBC connection. I have solved this issue by using the ? as the parameter.
Works nicely, not as clean, but serves the purpose.
Most, all of my parameters to this point have been single value parameters. Now, however, we are dabbling in allowing our report users to select multiple Users as a parameter. This is where I am stuck...
I have flipped the parameter checkbox to "Allow multiple values", I then recieved an error saying this:
Cannot add multi value query parameter 'UserName' for dataset 'RankingQuery' because it is not supported by the data extension.
Here is what I have done: I have gone to the Dataset properties for the appropriate query that the parameter is being fed into > then to the Parameters tab. In the Parameters tab instead of selecting the @UserName parameter from the drop down
I clicked the Fx buttone and inserted the UserName Parameter from there it looks like this: =Parameters!UserName.Value(0)
Now because of this last step my report runs without error, however, when I select multiple user names from the parameter drop down I only recieve data for the first person selected in that drop down.
Am I missing something? Does anyone know how to fix this? Please help!
Thanks everyone.
Travis

Hi There
Thanks for your posting. Can you please try this way? Go to your dataset properties and then go to filter tab and add filter like this
Please choose your dataset filed name from the dataset in which you would like to apply the filter for your parameter
UserName
Put operator=in
And please put value like= Parameters!UserName.Value
Please do not put Parameters!UserName.Value(0)
I hope this will resolve your problem
Many thanks

ODBC connection to Oracle 7 will not reset

We are using Oracle JDBC drivers for all but one of our
datasources which is an old Oracle 7 database. The ODBC connection
to this database will not reset when the database is bounced or the
database server is rebooted. We have to restart the ODBC service to
reset the connection. Is there another way to do this automatically
or perhaps another driver out there we can use? We are running
ColdFusion MX 6.1 Enterprise.

Wow, I can't believe that you are still using Oracle 7. In
fact, unless you are on 7.3.4 you aren’t even Y2K compliant.
Of course, I'm not even sure if there is an upgrade path from 7.x
to 10g, but I would consider migrating off of 7 to anything else.
Otherwise, you are going to have more and more compatibility
problems. In fact, you can no longer even get ODBC drivers from
Oracle for versions older than 9i.
Good luck.

Report Designer odbc connection string for data source using a parameter

I am using stand alone report designer 3 for the present and have a question/problem regarding the odbc connection string for MySQL when setting up the data-source
I need to be able to enter a parameter which is the database name i.e. BOE-201401 or say BOE-201312 etc from a list of databases the user can choose from.
at present the odbc connection string points to BOE-201402
the connection string is at present Dsn=Development Server for MYsql;description=MYSQL;server=ldndw01;database=BOE-201402;port=3306
my parameter has the name BOE_DATABASE
and in an expression it is as such
=Parameters!BOE_DATABASE.Value
I want to point the datasource for the report to the parameter value before the user sees the report.

Hi Leslie,
Based on your description, we want to design a report with a dynamic DataSource connection string. There are the basic steps below for your reference:
Create report with static database.
Change data source to report parameter.
Send new database connection string as a report parameter.
More detail information, please refer to the following blog: Dynamic Database in SSRS 2008.

Creating ODBC Connections to SQL Server

I have posted a Question to two Forums about a problem I'm having connecting to SQL Server using an ODBC Connection. Suddenly we can connect using on the IP Address of the virtual server not its name. So we can connect using 192.168.16.122\GEMSQLSRVR
but not GEM-SERVER\GEMSQLSRVR. Where should I be asking the question?

Seems you have a name resolution problem. You could try them here for SQL
SQL Server Data Access forum on MSDN
or depending on you OS
Windows 7 / 8.1 IT Pro forums on TechNet
