Will Upgrade Assistant work with MS SQL Server

We have ODI installed om MS SQL Server 2005. Current version of ODI is 10.1.3.5 and would like to upgrade to 11.1.1. My question is can we use upgrade assistant to create 2 instances of ODI that has old 10g Repository DB and 11g Repository DB or is Upgrade Asssitant work only when repositories are installed on Oracle 11g.
Thanks,
Giri

It's possible, but it's tough, you'll have to edit the ODI database to change the connection string to one that the new ODI likes, and the java driver to one Java likes.
For SQL Server 2005, the JAVA_DRIVER it wants is: weblogic.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
The connection string it will want will be like : jdbc:sqlserver://<host>:<port>;selectMethod=cursor;databaseName=<database_name>;
Hope that helps, let me know if you want more info.

  • How to get JDev 10.1.2/ADF working with MS SQL Server Identity Column

    Hello JDevTeam & JDevelopers,
    I want to use JDev/ADF with a MS SQL Server 2005 database that contains tables employing IDENTITY Columns.
    Using JDev/ADF and DBSequence with an Oracle database employing before triggers/sequences accomplishes what I am trying to do except I want to accomplish the same thing using a MSSQL Server 2005 database. Unfortunately I cannot change the database.
    I have been able to select records but I am unable to insert records (due to my lack of knowledge) when using MS/SQL Server Identity Columns with JDev/ADF.
    The following are the steps taken thus far.
    Step1: Create table named test in the 2005 MSSQL Server (see script below).
    Step2: Register 3rd Party JDBC Driver with JDeveloper; Using use Tools/Manage Libraries. Create a new entry in User Libraries with the following;
         Library Name     = Ms2005Jdbc
         Class Path     = C:\dev\Ms2005Jdbc\sqljdbc_1.0\enu\sqljdbc.jar
         (note: Latest TYPE 4 JDBC driver for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - free at http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/ref/jdbc/)
    Step3:Create New Database Connection;
         Connection Name = testconn1
         Type = Third Party JDBC Driver
         Authentication Username = sa, Password = password, Check Deploy Password
         Connection
              Driver Class = com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver     
              Library = Ms2005Jdbc     
              Classpath = C:\dev\Ms2005Jdbc\sqljdbc_1.0\enu
              URL = jdbc:sqlserver://192.168.1.151:1433;instanceName=sqlexpress;databaseName=test
         Test Connection = Success!
    Step5: Create a new application workspace using Web Application default template
    Step6: In Model project, Create new Business Components Diagram.
    Step7: Create new Entity Object. Goto to connections/testconn1, open tables and drag table test onto the diagram.
    Step8: Generate Default Data Model Components by right-clicking on Entity Object. Except all the defaults.
    When I test the Appmodule I select the view object and can scroll through all the records without error. If I try to insert a record, I get JBO-27014: Attribute testid in test is required.
    Going back to the EntityObject I deselect the Mandatory attribute and re-run the test. Now when I try to insert it accepts the value for testname but it does not update the PK testid like it would using an "JDev/ADF/DBSequence/Oracle database/before trigger/sequence" solution.
    Going back to the EntityObject and selecting refresh on insert does not solve this problem either. Changing the URL connection string and adding "SelectMethod=cursor" did not help and changing the SQl Flavor to SQLServer produced errors in the Business Components Browser. I've tried overriding isAttributeChanged() and other things as well.
    I am totally stuck! Can anyone provide a solution?
    Thanks for you help,
    BG...
    Create table named test
    use [testdb]
    go
    set ansi_nulls on
    go
    set quoted_identifier on
    go
    create table [test](
         [testid] [int] identity(0,1) not null,
         [testname] [nvarchar](50) collate sql_latin1_general_cp1_ci_as not null,
    constraint [pk_test] primary key nonclustered
         [testid] asc
    )with (pad_index = off, ignore_dup_key = off) on [primary]
    ) on [primary]

    Figured it out!
    When using the MS SQL Server 2000 Database with the MS JDBC 2000 Driver you specify the SQL Flavor to SQLServer. However setting the SQL Flavor to SQLServer with MS SQL Server 2005 Database and the MS JDBC 2005 Driver will *** fail ***.
    When working with the MS SQL Server 2005 Database and the MS JDBC 2005 Driver you set the SQL Flavor to SQL92 and the Type Map to Java.
    If using a named instance like I am you would specify the URL = jdbc:sqlserver://<db host ip address>:<listening port>;instanceName=<your instance name>;selectMethod=cursor;databaseName=<your database name> (note: leave out the < >)
    The 2005 Driver Class is different then the 2000 and is specified as com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
    Note: In a default MS SQL Server 2005 installation the listening port will change *** everytime *** the host is restarted! You can override this though.
    For the primary key you need to deselect the Mandatory attribute in the EntityObject editor.
    Set Refresh on insert/update = no.
    Set Updateable = never.
    Now my Primary Keys which get their values from the Identity Column are working with ADF in a predictable way.
    Simple enough but I have been away from this stuff for awhile.

  • Will Migration Assistant work with an external drive?

    I'm upgrading the hd in my Powerbook and for various reasons have the new drive in an external enclosure. It's got a fresh OS installed and all I need to do now is copy all the data from my old drive that's still in the Powerbook to the new drive in the external enclosure. What's the best way to do this? I know I shouldn't just copy everything over and I got error messages using Disk Images. A friend suggested Migration Assistant but that only seems to want to work with complete computers, not external drives. I've got a G5 in the office too that I can employ if needed.
    I want to keep all my settings and prefs intact as I'm told Migration Assistant will do.

    As long as the Firewire hard drive is a bootable drive for Mac OS X it should work with the Migration Assistant. These two companies offer that kind of drive:
    http://www.macsales.com/
    http://www.cooldrives.com/
    While it doesn't matter for the machines you quoted, if you choose to migrate to a newer Intel Mac, it won't work. This article explains what to do in that case:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=435350&tstart=10

  • Binding in Prepared Statement is not working with Microsoft SQL Server JDBC

  • "Hide Instance" setting not working with 2012 SQL Server Database Engine

    I have turned on the "Hide Instance" setting in SQL Server Configuration Manager on my SQL Server 2012 Database Server. After several restarts of my SQL Server/Agent/Browser services, as well as the server, I am still able to browse for the Instance
    from another computer.  I can also find the instance by running the "sqlcmd -L" command.  Is there another step to get this to work?  I have seen other people suggest that you disable the SQL Browser service, but we would like to avoid
    that.

    Hi,
    According to the description, I know the you are able to find the instance in the Browse for Servers window from another computer after turning on the ‘Hide Instance’ setting in SQL Server Configuration Manager. Are you able to connect to the instance as
    well?
    Make sure that the HideInstance has been set to 1 in the below registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.instancename\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib
    Note: You may take a backup of the key before make any changes on the registry keys.

  • Menu Parameter does not work with MS SQL Server

    I need to create a “Menu Parameter” from a “List of Values supporting "All" and multiple selection. This parameter happens to be a list of funds. The DB is SQL Server.
    We have a stored function that takes a comma separated list of funds as a parameter. SQL Server 2005 does not support array lists as bind parameters to stored procs/functions so we do not have a choice.
    The Menu parameter is effectively a bind parameter but I cannot use it directly due to the sql server limitation mentioned above. I really only have 2 choices:
    1) Oracle could generate the comma separated list like many BI tools do. This does not seem to be an option but it could not hurt to ask is this is available.
    2) Convert the bind variable to a comma separated list prior to passing it into the function. This is what I have tried to do below. This also has a problem in that the @liststr variable goes out of scope during execution. I see the error in the BIPublisher logs. This query works fine in Toad and Aqua Data Studio but fails when I run the report complaining about an undefined variable @liststr.
    - Convert bind variable to comma separated list of values
    DECLARE @listStr VARCHAR(MAX)
    SET @liststr =
    SELECT COALESCE ( COALESCE(@listStr+',' ,'') + fgcode , @listStr)
    FROM FundGroup where fgcode in ('AOMF ALL')
    - Pass the csv into the function
    select *
    from PeriodPNLNoNAV('1/1/2012', '1/31/2012', @listStr, '')
    order by fgdesc

    Hi Martin.
    I try to resolve this problem ( sqlserver masking) but I can't found the OBE mentioned.
    You or anyone have examples about masking MS SQLServer, because in the Oracle documentation suggest that is possible but not "how do it", except the use of heterogeneous services.
    Thanks in advance.

  • What will I do with the SQL Server (2012/2014) (Standard/Enterprise) Licenses?

    What will I do with the SQL Server (2012/2014) (Standard/Enterprise) Licenses?
    Are these the same as software product keys, or just some pieces of paper the company needs to have on hand?
    In which case, when we install SQL Server 2014, (and when looked for videos) - there is only 1 product key value to be put in, is there some other screen in the setup to input the License bought ( in our case will be Core licenses).
    So in addition to the Core Licenses do will a Product key be needed? Would product key from an msdn work, as it is the licenses that we will buy to indicate that we bought to run the software on server X?
    Thanks for any indications.

    I will answer your question point wise
    1. Keeping license key is good idea it helps you during audit and you have proof that you are using a valid Microsoft License. Plus in scenario of disaster where whole box gets damanged you might need to install SQL Server again in that case during
    reinstallation on setup page where you need to enter key you might need need it. If you are missing your paper then you are in trouble.
    2. Only on product key page license key is required and it is not required anywhere else during installation. Unless you enter valid product key installation will not proceed further.
    3 License makes you a valid owner of Microsoft product with restrictions on how much hardware resource you can use how much max connections you can make etc. Key lets you install it on Windows machine making sure that you are using valid Microsoft product.
    This was just a general idea please speak to your licensing specialist for more details. This is technical forum and we generally ask user to speak to licensing expert for such queries.

  • Iphoto library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Will my Facebook albums remain?

    I just upgraded my computer to yosemite and that includes the iPhoto application.
    After opening iPhoto it says "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto." I'm worried that if I chose to upgrade I will 1. lose all my photos and 2. have my synced facebok albums taken off Facebook.
    One time I moved my iPhoto library to an external hard drive and lost all my Facebook album photos so I don't want to make the same mistake.
    So does anyone know if I chose to go through with this upgrade will I lose my photos in the iPhoto and the synced albums on Facebook? If I do lose photos, how do I go recover my previous iPhoto version?

    Just to confirm. When I saved a copy of my iPhoto library on my external harddrive that's "backing-up" right?
    Also, is there anyway on Facebook to tell which albums are synced with my iPhoto so that I know which ones will be gone if something does go wrong?
    Sorry one more question Larry. I keep reading issues people are having with upgrading their iPhoto to 9.6 and the upgraded iPhoto does not recognize their library (see: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6676471). If this happens to me and I have to repair or re-install my iPhoto will my Facebook albums be affected?
    Thanks for your help Larry I appreciate it

    Hi there! Actually, Roboform works with modern versions of Firefox. Please update to Roboform 7.9.0, and update Firefox to version 22 immediately. Continuing to use Firefox 3.6 is leaving your computer at risk for MAJOR security holes, plus known stability and performance issues. Please update immediately.
    Also, Firefox will work perfectly fine with XP SP2, but there is no reason why you shouldn't update XP to SP3

    Introducing the new Microsoft ODBC Drivers for SQL Server - Microsoft SQLNCli team blog - Site Home - MSDN Blogs
    who states that named instance connections are not supported using that driver.
