TimesTen issue with connection string on a 64-bit system

Hello dear members,
I need to write code in vbscript that is creating a connection to oracle timesten database.
The TimesTen database is located on a unix server, and the client application is on windows server.
this is my code:
Set mCnTT = CreateObject("ADODB.connection")
mCnTT.ConnectionString = "Provider=MSDASQL.1;DSN=" & TT_DSN & ";" & "TTC_SERVER=" & TT_SERVER & ";" & "TTC_SERVER_DSN=" & TT_SERVER_DSN & ";" & "UID="& TT_UID & ";" & "PWD=" & TT_PWD & ";"
mCnTT.Open
When ran from 64-bit application it will work fine.(I tried it on a stand-alone vbscript)
My problem is that I need this code to work on a 64-bit system server, BUT from a 32-bit application (QTP)
and I'm getting the following error:
"[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data Source name not found and no default driver specified"
any idea how to build a connection string that will work? Maybe use a differnet provider?
is MSDAORA provider supporting timesten?
any suggestions will be welcome!
thanks,
Rachel

So you will be running a 32-bit application on 64-bit Windows connecting to 64-bit TimesTen on a Unix server; is that correct? Assuming that it is then you need to:
1. Install the 32-bit TimesTen Windows client rather than the 64-bit TimesTen Windows client (a TT 32-bit client will work with a TT 64-server just fine)
2. Use the 32-bit ODBC Administrator applet to configure the DSN rather than the default 64-bit applet
Point (2) is especially important. 32-bit and 64-bit ODBC DDNs are held in completely different places in the Windows registry; 32-bit Apps can't see/use 64-bit DSNs and vice versa.
None of this is directly related to TimesTen; this is all standard Windows 64-bit functionality and issues.

  • I'm having issues with connecting my iPhone 4 to iTunes?

    Here's some information:
    Apple product: iPhone 4
    Computer: Windows 8 (originally) to Windows 8.1 (upgraded version)
    Okay, I'm having issues with connecting my iPhone 4 to iTunes. I've connected it via U.S.B. and now everything's not working right the 10th time. Am I to redownload the iTunes software once again or will I never be able to add music anymore?

    Close any open applications.
    Click the Apple icon top left of the screen.
    Select the bottom option in the cascading menu: Log Out (your user name).
    Log in a Guest.
    This will dertermine if there is a problem with your Admin account.

    I have contacted apple via email and tried all the steps they have recommended and it is still not working. 
    I have tried disabling my McAfee and that does not work either. 
    Anyone that the phone number to apple express so I don't have to keep waiting for them to email within 48 hours? 
    Thanks. 

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

  • HP Advisor stops working on my Pavilion p6330f with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit system

    My computer is a  Pavilion p6330f  with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit system.  It bothers me when I get error messages and can't seem to correct the problem.  After loging onto my computer  a message comes on that the HP Advisor stopped working. When I attempt to load the HP Advisor it gives me the same message and does not come up. 

    HP Advisor-one of the first things I uninstall, flaky software.
    Have you tried the update for Advisor from your support & drivers page?

  • Issues with connection to Officejet Pro 8500

    Hi folks,
    I have a user at home with a Officejet 8500 connected to a BT home hub via wifi. it worked initially when we set it up a few months back however rarely and intermitantly since then. It notmally shows as offline in print properties and the HP app cant connect to it.
    Some network basics
    Router IP: 192.168.1.254
    Printer IP: 192.168.1.66 (via DHCP)
    Alt Printer IP: 192.168.1.100 (Static IP Attempt with no joy)
    Other devices in network:
    Desktop pc (Not work kit)
    Iphone (his wifes)
    Laptop PC (work kit)
    We do have him connected via VPN however Im inclined not to believe that its aproblem witht hat as we have a dozen users with the same setup and the VPN dosent cause them headaces.
    Pining the hostname of the printer results in a weird IP  external IP address (87.239.20.209) not the local one. Ok so I put a change in the hostfile to point to the Printers IP. No joy there.
    Tried a static IP.... you know just cos... (and in my mind best practice for a printer anyway!)
    So Any ideas or any one experianced similar issues with this?
    Cheers in advanced folks

    We have been having offline issues with this same printer.  I have tried to install all new software to a Win 7 64 bit computer but the full software cannot complete.  It detects the printer on the network, goes through the network settings but when it gets to Installing Your Printer, it fails with this statement:  'Printer setup has failed to complete. Click retry to try installing the printer again or click next to continue installation without connecting to the printer now.'
    Now, I am connected via the web to the printer and all is well on the status screen.  I have updated the firmware too.  I read through many blogs of others having the same issue with no real resolution.   All those that were connected to it are now showing 'offline' even though they can ping it and access it directly on the web - but none can print.  I have tried downloading and installing the HP Print and Scan Doctor but it needs the 'full' software installed in order to run.....but the full software cannot complete it's install because of the above. 
    I have always loved HP printers but this one deserves to be in the land fill!

  • Dell Laptops E7440 & E7240 - Issues with connecting to MDT 2012 deployment share

    Hi,
      Good afternoon.Need help on this please
    -Test laptops Iam using are 2 * E7440 and 1*E7240. One laptop of model E7440 has our image installed and other two (1*E7440 & 1*E7240) are shipped from Dell with default Win 7 64 bit OS.
    -Test desktops Iam using are Dell Optiplex 3020 & Dell 3010 . Both models have our own images of Win 7 64 Bit.
    -Laptops and desktops are on same network .
    -For OS deployments we have MDT 2012.
    -While there are no issues with desktops, all the laptops mentioned above don’t connect to MDT deployments share . The detailed error message I get when I run a litetouch ISO is ‘A connection to the deployment share could not be made. Connection OJ.Possible
    cause:invalid credentials. Retry : Try again to connect to the deployment share.’
    -Have injected all possible network & storage drivers mentioned by Dell &  Intel into MDT boot image but the problem still persists. Still WinPE doesn’t detect network adapter wherein IPaddresses are not picked in WinPE mode.
    -Have been testing each and every driver by manually loading them into Winpe mode to see if they pick up the IP addresses and I finally found one driver by name ‘e1d63x64.inf ‘ which I downloaded directly from Intel website. This one is picking IP Address
    in WinPE mode when loaded manually. Also have tested the connectivity to MDT server in WinPE mode with net use command and it was successful.
    Have injected this driver into MDT Laptop deployment share, regenerated the ISO and tried again however Iam still unable to connect to the deployment share with litetouch ISO.
    The above driver is very much part of set of network drivers on Dell website too.But it doesn’t work.
    -Have also tried combination of network & storage drivers from Dell website  (along with the above one mentioned ) injecting them into the MDT laptop boot image but no luck.
    -Every time I make changes to drivers in boot image,I update deployment share & recreate boot image .
    -This very litetouch iso connects to  MDT deployments share for Dell desktop models 3010 & 3020 but have issues with laptop models E7440 & E7240. This means any connectivity or access issues can be ruled out. Also no problem with our image cause
    this happens even with brand new shipped laptops with your inbuild win 7 OS.
    -Have tried all options suggested on internet,tested all the drivers suggested but no luck.
    -For example I tried latest E7440 netwrok & storage drivers ,Dell Win PE drivers,drivers from Intel website,etc  individually as well as in combinations but the issue persists.
    -If you google many express similar issues with these laptop models.
    Though I used the drivers suggested by various bloggers,nothing worked for me.
    Any help on this is appreciated.Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I have several E6420, O3010 and since a week also some E7440 and E7240 on site.
    I never had issues using the current Dell PE package for MDT.
    At the moment my PE contains only the drivers from the Dell PE 3.0 package (WinPE3.0-Drivers-A13-D67JC)
    and all my systems mentioned abobe have no issues connecting to the deployment share.
    (btw: I have also some older E6400, E6410 and O390 I do no longer support, they
    are supported by the pack Dell-WinPE-Drivers-A05.CAB according
    to the Dell site, but I just started a deplymenst on a E6410 and is is also workign with just the latest PE pack)
    I'd
    suggest you start over with your deplyoment share using at least MDT2012 Update 1.
    Create a folder "PE" under "Out-of-Box Drivers" and extract latest Dell PE pack and import he drivers there
    Create a selection profile e.g. "PE Drivers" and include just the "PE" folder created above
    When configuring the Windows PE  settings of your deployment share select "PE
    Drivers" selection profile for the driver injection in the "Drivers and Patches" to keep the PE image free of not needed drives.

  • Security issues with connecting pdf to database

    I have a pdf form that is being called from a webform as part
    of a web application. The PDF has two dropdown lists that I was
    populating from a SQL Server Database. I had created a special user
    that had select access only to the tables for the dropdowns.
    My question is are there any known security issues with
    regard to allowing a pdf to connect to a database this way. The PDF
    is being called from a secure connection but I don't know if
    opening this database connection to populate these dropdowns
    exposes a security hole of any sort. If it does, do you have a
    solution to make this secure? I am asking because another developer
    on the project brought up the issue of this design creating a
    security risk and I haven't been able to find anything online
    discussing it either way.
    Thanks!

  • Nokia E50, issues with connecting and managing mes...

    Hi
    I'm using Nokia E50 and Nokia PC Suite for a few years now on. Recently I wanted to do my usual maintenance task: copy all messages to PC and delete them from the phone. Issues start here.
    At first I had problems with connecting but finally I manage to do it. After dozens of tries PC Suite finally updated contact list. Then I moved to messages tab. It took a while to download all messages (aprox. 700 in inbox, 600 in sent - I had many more few times before when everything was working ok). I can copy them to PC, but I can't delete them. After selecting message(s), trash icon is grayed out (menu item too). I can read message but can't delete it. Why?
    I've downloaded latest version of Ovi to see if that would help. Ovi managed to download contact list (after a loong waiting) but failed to download any message. Messages says that it's trying but after one hour nothing happend.
    I'm trying this on 2 different machines (Windows 7 and Windows XP), with cable and blue tooth. Efects are always the same. Phone is connected because I can copy files, but when I'm trying to download messages or do backup, software says phone is not connected or tries to copy data with no luck.
    Any hint will be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Marooned

    After deleting aprox. 150 messages from Inbox and from Sent, both programs were able to download complete list of messages and PC Suite finally reenabled trash icon.
    Seems like too much messages causes those program to fail? And why in the past they were working properly with bigger amount of messages?
    Well.. one can say "problem solved" but will reappear again in the future with lots of messages. I need to remember to grab them from the phone more frequent.

  • Having issues with connecting to various applications

    I first noticed my connection issues with the iTunes store.  It just wouldn't connect and an error message popped up.  I figured it had something to do with iTunes.
    But then I noticed my Skype wouldn't connect.
    And when I click on the "File Explorer" tab pinned to the taskbar, it thinks for 30 seconds, the whole screen will blink once and it will never pull up.
    Everything else runs smoothly. I can browse the internet. Play my music in iTunes (just can't open the store).  I can open Word documents without any issues.  I checked the Windows firewall and it is set to allow both iTunes and Skype. This issue
    only started a few days ago.  And last night I made sure my Windows was up to date.
    I have a Samsung laptop with Windows 8.  Any idea what might be going on?

    Hi,
    We need more information to analyze your issue. What's error message when you attempt to connect the Skype?
    And how about when you launch "File Explorer" via the original source instead of pinned shortcut in taskbar?
    I would like to suggest you run App troubleshooter to see if it could be fixed:

    Meanwhile, please update all your drivers especially video card.

  • Sling mapping issue with Query String

    For a button component, URL behaves differently with query string. Please let me know the sling mapping example for query string.
    Button component behavior across env:-
    Working Scenario:-
    - In Author edit mode, URL pointing to "/content/<websitelink>"
    - In Author preview mode shows URL "<host>:<port>/content/<websitelink>.html"
    - In Publisher mode shows URL, "<host>:<port>/<websitelink>", we do not want "/content" before website link so it is fine.
    Failure Scenario with query string:-
    - In Author edit mode URL pointing to "/content/<websitelink>?username=han"
    - In Author preview mode with URL "<host>:<port>/content/<websitelink>?username=han"
    - In Publisher mode, <host>:<port>/content/<websitelink>?username=han - Here we see the content, which is not acceptable in our scenario.
    Please let me know the mapping changes when we have a URL with query string.

    1) I assume you configure as per the rules mentioned in http://sling.apache.org/site/mappings-for-resource-resolution.html --> 'Mapping Entry Specification' under /etc/map. Based on the configuration in /etc/map and the website that we publish, it translates and shows all the applicable combination in the Felix console http://<host>:<port>/system/console/jcrresolver.
    2) How does Adobe CQ 5.4 resolve the right mapping, if we have multiple map folder like below in /etc directory with the same website with different rules.
    etc/map --> http --> <website> with property sling:match, sling:internalRedirect
    etc/map.publish --> http --> <website> with property sling:match, sling:internalRedirect
    etc/map.publish-stag --> http --> <website> with property sling:match, sling:internalRedirect
    Kindly clarify.

    I have not attempted to analyze your SQL statement.
    Here is a test set up:
    CREATE TABLE T1(
      USERNAME VARCHAR2(30),
      FROM_DATE DATE,
      TO_DATE DATE,
      COMMENTS VARCHAR2(100));
    INSERT INTO T1 VALUES ('Uma Shankar', '02-Nov-09','05-Nov-09','Comment1');
    INSERT INTO T1 VALUES ('Veera','11-Nov-09','13-Nov-09','Comment2');
    INSERT INTO T1 VALUES ('Uma Shankar','15-Dec-09','17-Dec-09','Commnet3');
    INSERT INTO T1 VALUES ('Vinod','20-Oct-09','21-Oct-09','Comments4');
    INSERT INTO T1 VALUES ('Mo','20-Oct-09','05-NOV-09','Comments4');
    COMMIT;Note that I included one additional row, where the person starts their vacation in the previous month and ends in the month of November.
    You could approach the problem like this:
    Assume that you would like to list all of the days of a particular month:
    SELECT
      TO_DATE('01-NOV-2009','DD-MON-YYYY')+(ROWNUM-1) MONTH_DAY
    FROM
      DUAL
    CONNECT BY
      LEVEL<=ADD_MONTHS(TO_DATE('01-NOV-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'),1)-TO_DATE('01-NOV-2009','DD-MON-YYYY');Note that the above attempts to calculate the number of days in the month of November - if it is known that the month has a particular number of days, 30 for instance, you could rewrite the CONNECT BY clause like this:
    CONNECT BY
      LEVEL<=30Now, we need to pick up those rows of interest from the table:
    SELECT
    FROM
      T1 T
    WHERE
      (T.FROM_DATE BETWEEN TO_DATE('01-NOV-2009','DD-MON-YYYY') AND TO_DATE('30-NOV-2009','DD-MON-YYYY')
        OR T.TO_DATE BETWEEN TO_DATE('01-NOV-2009','DD-MON-YYYY') AND TO_DATE('30-NOV-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'));
    USERNAME        FROM_DATE TO_DATE   COMMENTS
    Uma Shankar     02-NOV-09 05-NOV-09 Comment1
    Veera           11-NOV-09 13-NOV-09 Comment2
    Mo              20-OCT-09 05-NOV-09 Comments4If we then join the two resultsets, we have the following query:
    SELECT
    FROM
      T1 T,
      (SELECT
        TO_DATE('01-NOV-2009','DD-MON-YYYY')+(ROWNUM-1) MONTH_DAY

        DUAL
      CONNECT BY
        LEVEL<=ADD_MONTHS(TO_DATE('01-NOV-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'),1)-TO_DATE('01-NOV-2009','DD-MON-YYYY')) V
    WHERE
      (T.FROM_DATE BETWEEN TO_DATE('01-NOV-2009','DD-MON-YYYY') AND TO_DATE('30-NOV-2009','DD-MON-YYYY')
        OR T.TO_DATE BETWEEN TO_DATE('01-NOV-2009','DD-MON-YYYY') AND TO_DATE('30-NOV-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'))
      AND V.MONTH_DAY BETWEEN T.FROM_DATE AND T.TO_DATE

  • Anyone have any information about iphone 6 and 6  issues with receiving Unknown caller IDs from pbx systems?

    We are seeing any issue with iphone 6 and 6+ phones receiving "Unknown" on the caller id when they receive a call from a PBX system. All other versions of iphones are not having this issue. I have read several forums and it seems to be a carrier issue with the new LTE towers. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

    yes its a new issue for me too.  Are you a ATT customer? My brother has iphone 6 but with another carrier and has no problems..

  • Issue with Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit driver

    ,Issue with Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit driverw Hello, I have a 2004 Dell Dimension DIM900 and a couple months ago it began making a loud crackling noise sporadically. It sounds like real ear-piercing static, like when a microphone is being plugged in, only in short random bursts at alternating pitches so I originally thought my speakers were blown. I turned them off and decided to use a headphone set only to hear the same annoying sound.
    I looked in the sound settings and read that I have a Sound Blaster 24-bit internal driver in my system, assuming that information is correct.
    What can I do? I did the search and read the read on those X-Fi drivers that had a similar problem, but I didn't know if that was the same as this because the thread concluded that their problem was exclusi've to systems with Nvidia dual SLI graphic configurations and X-Fi drivers. ? Any input would be appreciated, thanks!

    Hi IT5,
    May I know if this Li've! 24bit came pre-installed on your Dell computer or did you purchase & install the sound card separately?

  • Issues with connecting iMac wirelessly to a Netgear router

    The iMac in question being a 2.66GHz model bought in August 2009 running OSX 10.6.6, and the Netgear Router being a DG834GT. The iMac is being exceptionally temperamental when it comes to connecting to the wireless network. Strangely enough there are times when it will connect fine, but most of the time it will either connect for a minute or so and then drop, or just not connect. When the latter happens it seems like it is giving a different error message every time, sometimes saying that a preferred network isn't available, sometimes saying that the password is wrong (when it isn't), sometimes that the ISP has failed (ISP is Orange) and so on. Even when it says it is connected Safari then seems to think it isn't.
    We also have a MacBook Pro, an Xbox 360 and two Windows based laptops that have all never had a problem connecting to this router wirelessly. Yet the iMac, the most recent piece of technology by far, just can't seem to stomach it.
    Is there something that can be fundamentally changed with the wireless settings that will fix this? Or, in fact, anything that will fix this?

    Unfortunately we are already using WPA (which my MacBook Pro has no problems with), so nothing to change there.
    Interestingly we have just called up Apple to see if they have any ideas for a quick fix, and they suggested wiring it up, which should somehow fix the wireless aspect of it as well. So after carefully moving the iMac and stringing some wires into fairly dangerous positions, it is now wired up. However, upon disconnecting the wire it worked for all of thirty seconds wirelessly before cutting out again. However, I do recall in my mind something about connecting a Mac via a wire first and then fiddling with something to help it work wirelessly? I don't know what that is though, so suggestions are appreciated.
    In the very short term connecting it via a wire works, but really a solution needs to be found asap. If the wireless issue can't be sorted I expect I will have to invest in a very long ethernet cable and run it from the router to the iMac, which whilst obviously not ideal is certainly possible.
