Accessing MS Access from UNIX

Dear all,
We have a java program running on a UNIX (AIX 4.3) application server. This program has to connect to a Microsoft Access DB located on a Samba/Mixed file server.
We can't use any MS Windows/NT environment.
Is there a solution for this problem?
Please help!
Thanks in advance
Marc

you may use JDBC in your Java Application.
JDBC FAQ states:
5. How can I use the JDBC API to access a desktop database like Microsoft Access over the network?
Most desktop databases currently require a JDBC solution that uses ODBC underneath. This is because the vendors of these database products haven't implemented all-Java JDBC drivers.
The best approach is to use a commercial JDBC driver that supports ODBC and the database you want to use. See the JDBC drivers page for a list of available JDBC drivers.
The JDBC-ODBC bridge from Sun's Java Software does not provide network access to desktop databases by itself. The JDBC-ODBC bridge loads ODBC as a local DLL, and typical ODBC drivers for desktop databases like Access aren't networked. The JDBC-ODBC bridge can be used together with the RMI-JDBC bridge, however, to access a desktop database like Access over the net. This RMI-JDBC-ODBC solution is free.

JDBC Receiver Adapter to MS Access from Unix.

Hi experts,
I am trying to connect to MS Access Database and have the communication channel config as per this weblog:
/people/sameer.shadab/blog/2005/10/24/connecting-to-ms-access-using-receiver-jdbc-adapter-without-dsn
My driver is -->> sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
My connection is -->> jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=/windowsservername/xxx/Lookup.mdb
My Adapter Monitor gives me this exception:
Error when attempting to get processing resources: com.sap.aii.af.service.util.concurrent.ResourcePoolException: Unable to create new pooled resource: DriverManagerException: Cannot establish connection to URL 'jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=/windowsservername/xxx/Lookup.mdb': java.lang.NullPointerException
The database is in Windows system and XI (SP20) is in Unix system.
Do I need to install an ODBC driver in the Unix server? Do I need to set up a data source of ODBC for MS Access Driver?
Any idea?
Thanks,
Jose.

First of all your XI system (UNIX) has to have the proper driver for the MS access installed in the system. You need to follow some steps in SDM to install the same. Pls take help of XI Basis for this.
Second, once you install the driver get the connection string from the MS Access DB admin. Pls note the connection string should have proper IP (or domain name).
pls reward points if helpful.

MS-ACCESS from Unix system..

Hi,
I have a MS-Access database on Windows 2000 server. I need to write a java program running on a Unix system (AIX, Solaris or Linux) that accesses the database on the windows 2000 server. I can make it work on windows box using JDBC-ODBC bridge. How can I do that from a unix box? Thanks.

The easiest way is to get a pure Java JDBC driver for
MS Access. I am rather certain that that does not exist. There are certainly systems that provide a java only driver which allows one to access MS Access. But they involve more than just java.
(Every time I searched the JDBC driver list for MS Access drivers all I found were proxy drivers.)

File Access from DB Server/Unix Mounting

We have an Oracle Database that runs on Unix Box and a cold fusion application/web server runs on a Windows box. We have a data intensive stored procedure that gets data from DB, does lot of massaging and then create bunch of html files with sorting capabilities etc. This process happens upon user request from website (cold fusion/html page calling Oracle stored procedure). After this, the cold fusion server need to get access to these html files to display to the user.
Our Unix DBA's does NOT want to do File Mounting as they think the windows box is not secure. Hence we are exploring other options.
Below are the options we are exploring. But very well open to suggestions...
1. Let cold fusion query the data from Database and let it do the data manipulation/massaging
2. We explored the external tables (based on file) but the files are dynamic and could not find a way to do this
3. FTP transfer from Unix to NT box but there could be time delay and may not be available for immediate display
4. Create a temporary table, let the DB procedure insert data into table. Then Cold fusion will query from there.
Any other suggestions?

Hi,
Its not required to handle for #
just read the dataset into the string and split the string into work area fields seoparated by TAb delimiter.
Eg:
READ DATASET <filename> INTO l_string.
SPLIT l_string
               AT cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab "Horizontal tab
              INTO l_funcloc_clas-tplnr
                   w_funcloc_clas-class
                   w_funcloc_clas-klart
                   w_funcloc_clas-atnam
                   w_funcloc_clas-atwrt
                   w_funcloc_clas-atfor.
append w_funcloc_clas to l_funcloc_clas.

Configure ODBC to access a CSV file on Linux for access from BI Server

How to configure an ODBC connection to a CSV file on Linux for access from the BI Server Repository physical layer
I am migrating a working windows OBIEE installation to Linux and can not seem to connect to csv files on Linux (from th BI server also running on the same Linux machine).
I am using SUse Linux Enterprise server / 10 (Slash 10) standard odbc drivers
My odbc ini file entries are:

The csv files I want to use are in the directory /data/oracle/OracleBIData/idc to which I have set up a working and checked connection ([idcbicsvfiles]) on the linux machine itself.
The error message I get when I select view data in the physcial layer is:
[NQODBC][SQL_STATE: HY000][nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred.
[nQSError: 43093] An error occurred while processing the EXECUTE PHYSICAL statement.
[nQSError: 16023] The ODBC function has returned ans error. The database may not be available, or the network may be down.
Please can anybody give me a clue on how to get this working e.g. a working odbc.ini file from your own installation (and/or a tip for the odbc driver choice/configuration)
P.S. I know this is not supported by Oracle but can not imagine, that nobody is using this.

User used in SAP for accessing to unix server

Hi ..
I'm new on this topic ...
I'd like to know where is configured the user into SAP for accessing to UNIX.. i mean, in my understanding when a job is created into SAP for running a script located into server unix, Sap has to login to unix and it has through and user id, where is configured that ...
the case in question here is the following ..
we are testing the sent of infomation ...
1.- user creates the information from sap and it is delivered into a folder
2.- the owner of those files is a strange user into the server where they were delivered.
3.- this means that that user does not exist into the unix server where were delivered the information ...
i'd like to know, where is cofigured the user into SAP for accessing to unix to deliver the information ...
could you please let me know that ?
thanks.

Hi Daniela,
User is <SID>adm user, it's SAP Default user for communicating to Unix or any OS. When you install the system, <SID>adm is the adminstrator user.
For the 2nd item it is strange user, it could that the folder it is creating files might not the local file system, it is from diffferent server NFS mounted to this server. If the other system doesn't know about the <SID>adm it keeps a stange user as owner this files.
Even though that strange user doesn't exist, as long as your <SID>adm user has write access to this folder,it will create the file. But owner can be different.
Hope this answers. If yes, please assign points.

How do I setup my Time Capsule (3rd Generation) to be accessed from the internet while I'm traveling?

How do I setup my Time Capsule (3rd Generation) to be accessed from the internet while I'm traveling? It is installed on my home network behind my TWC broadband router.

Ok.. since the TWC modem is also a router.. all configuration takes place on this box.. NONE whatsoever takes place on the TC.
There is no airport utility 7.7.3 but there is a firmware of that number for the latest AC model TC..
Is it tall like this.
Then it is Gen5.
otherwise it will have a firmware.. 7.6.4 or earlier and the airport utility must be 6.3 or earlier.
Open the Airport utility and give us a screenshot of the summary page.
That will also help us determine that you have the TC, which version and how it is setup.
You might want to press the edit and also give us the Internet and Network tab as they should be set correctly as well.
I have created a DDNS through DYN.com although I am not sure how to implement this into the TC.
You do not do anything in the TC.. set it up in the Ubee router.
Port forward 548 to the TC in the Ubee router.
And make sure the TC has a static IP in the Ubee router.
Overall if you find this too hard I strongly recommend you buy a product designed for remote access .. eg WD MyCloud.. they are cheap and easy peasy to setup for remote access.. by PC or Mac and since it is built outside of Apple you not bound up in Apple limitations built into all their equipment to prevent you using it the way you want.. rather than apple want you too.. eg BTMM and iCloud being the only way apple provide for access to the TC and only when it is the main router of the network.
You are fighting hard because Apple made this hard.. not easy.

Trying change my credit card info from previously lost credit card but can't since it says I'm accessing from new device and asks for security code for a card i no longer have. What can I do?

I've recently gotten a new laptop and replaced my damaged iphone. Apparently these 2 scenarios qualify as "new devices". This is fine but I also had lost my credit card previously that was connected to my iTunes account, and got a new one with all different numbers. When I try to change my billing information to this new card it won't let me because it says
"Your account has been accessed from a new device, and you must verify your payment information before you can make purchases."
and it asks for the security code of the card I had lost and replaced! I am not able to change my billing info to my new card thus because I can't get past this.
Can anyone please help?

Read-only file access from network volume

I get an read-only file access from network volume problem while sharing a drive from Snow Leopard to a Tiger install. Most of files were opening well, but *.fp7 (FileMaker) and *.xls (Excel) files won't open dealing with a read-only error.
As descibed in the last post of http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1406977 the client have the same share name of the server. Renomming it resolved the error!
Thanks!

right then, as it looks like I'm talking to myself....
I have just wiped clean the Macbook Pro.
I installed Leopard from scratch, then installed Office 2008.
Logged back onto the network share, and the read-only error came up again, ONLY in Excel.
bugger.
Did the same thing with my Macbook and all is fine.
Copy the file to the local hard drive, opens ok.
I then copied the file to another Mac on the network.
mmmm, opens fine.
what's the difference....
mmmm, the machine it opens fine from is running 10.4
the machine which hosts all the data is running 10.3.9
could this be the problem.
Just done a software update check on the 10.3 machine and there are some security updates that need doing.
Going to run that now and see what happens, otherwise I think the iMac running 10.3.9 is going to need to come up to 10.4 and fingers crossed this will solve it.

Hello All,
we have created shared folder on multiple client machine in domain environment on different 2 OS like-XP,Vista, etc.
from some day's When we facing problem when we are access from host name that shared folder is accessible but same time same computer when we are trying to access the share folder with IP it asking for credentials i have type again and again
correct credential but unable to access that. If i re-share the folder then we are access it but when we are restarted the system then same problem is occurring.
I have checked IP,DNS,Gateway and more each & everything is well.
Pls suggest us.
Pankaj Kumar

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the same shared folder can be accessed by name, but can’t be accessed be IP address and asks for credentials.
Please try to enable the option below on the device which has shared folder:
Besides, check the Advanced Shring settings of shared folder and confrim that if there is any limitation settings.

Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?

Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?
A little background info. I use Captivate 7 and currently have over 100 projects that I maintain on a quarterly basis. I publish using the SWF format and upload the swf/htm files to a server where they are then accessed from a few locations (within our online documentation, in our software product, on two different websites). Many of the projects are linked so some will be viewed as a series and others viewed as a standalone video. Each video uses the same template and includes an intro and end slide. Now my organization wants to implement a new intro to all videos (those I publish and those from several groups across the organization). My current intros provide overview material for the specific video so the new intro, which is an animation with audio in mp4 format, would need to be placed at the start of each project. The issue is, the intro adds 9 seconds to every video and in many cases doesn’t add any value (say, if a user accesses the video from within our product or views the videos as a series). I’ve talked it over with my boss and we want to try to add the intro only to videos accessed from site X, not any other location. So now to my question. Is there a way to play an external mp4 file (intro) only when the published project is accessed from a specific site, therefore eliminating the need to update each project? Maybe there's a way to add a parameter or variable to the URL or the html code?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Please let me know if you need additional information.

AimeeLove,
I have a solution for you. You may have to modify the code a little bit based on how long the timeline animation is for your clock. I based mine on 3 seconds to complete a minute hand sweep around the clock.
Milliseconds for each point on the clock:
12 = 0
1 = 250
2 = 500
3 = 750
4 = 1000
5 = 1250
6 = 1500
7 = 1750
8 = 2000
9 = 2250
10 = 2500
11 = 2750
In the mouseover section for 12 o' clock, put this code...
myVar = setInterval(function(){
     var pos = sym.getPosition();
     if (pos > 0 && pos < 50){
          sym.stop(0);
          clearInterval(myVar);
},10);
When you point to the time, the setInterval method loops every 100th of a second and checks the current position of the timeline. When the timeline reaches the range between 0 and 50 milliseconds (almost impossible to hit 1 specific point), the timeline will stop at 0. Also, the clearInterval will be fired to stop the loop.
In the mouseout section, put this...
sym.play();
clearInterval(myVar);
It start the clock again, and it also clears the loop in case you mouseout before you reach the range.
Make sure that myVar is a global variable so you can clear it from the mouseout section.
Repeat this for each point on the clock. To avoid potential conflicts, you may want to use my12, my1, my2, etc. instead of myVar. I put the milliseconds at the top that you would use as the beginning of the range. 50 milliseconds should be enough to catch it. So, for 5 o' clock, you would make your range between 1250 and 1300.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
Fred

I want to take remote access from an iTunes library off of my iPad ...when I hit edit from the remote app it pulls that library up ..if I delete it I just want to make sure that I'm not remotely wiping out the library, just access to it from my iPad ?

Call the apple store you got it from and ask them. Sometimes in the past they've extended the 'no questions asked return' but only Apple can tell you for sure.

I can't get home sharing to turn on on my computers. I have a PC running windows XP that has a large library on it that I want to access from a newer windows 7 PC. I have turned home sharing on in both, same apple ID. I just will not come up. Any ideas?
