Accessing Progress Database using ODI

Hi
Has anyone used ODI to access Progress Database? We have such a requirement in our project but ODI is relatively new for me.
Is it possible via a simple ODBC connectivity?
DO let me know if anyone has tried. Thanks

Integrate 300 MS Access Databases using ODI

Hi All,
I am trying to integrate data between 300 similar MS Access databases using ODI. All the source databases have exactly the same data structures. I have done a POC for 3 databases by creating interfaces and could integrate the data between them successfully.
Now that the project is approved ; Going forward I need to integrate data from 297 MS Access databases, so I need to run the same set of Interfaces on 297 source MS Access Databases with Target DB being the same.
This integartion work could be labourious as I need to copy 7 interfaces on 297 databases - IS THERE ANY EASY SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM.
Some one suggested me to use Dynamic Variables in the TOPOLOGY to access all the MS Access databases - BUT NOT SURE IF THAT WORKS.
APPRECIATE your suggestions.
Thanks & Regards
Kay

The issue you face here is that the Access database is connected to through the JDBC-ODBC bridge to the Access ODBC database driver. You will need to have a separate DSN defined for each of the access databases, if you want to address each individually.
An alternative approach is to have one DSN set up, one entry in ODI's topology, one interface etc, and each file you wish to use, you rename to a given name first. Thus, when ODI tries to access the database, the ODBC driver finds the then current file. Note that ODI keeps the database connection for the duration of a SESSION, so if you wanted to process all 300 files sequentially, then you would need to run separate sessions for each of the file executions.
I think this will give you the solution you require without resorting to variables.

How to access remote database using applet

hi all,
I want to know how to access remote database using applet,
Please help me anybody.
Regards
Jesu

If the database is on a public server, you probably can't access it directly (security wise). You can make your applet talk to a server-side application, which makes the database calls on behalf of the applet. But even in an intranet environment this setup is often preferable, because you don't need to distribute a JDBC driver to all your clients.

Integrate source db with target EBS database using ODI

Hi
We have a requirement to integrate our legacy systems to Oracle E-business suite 12.1.1 database 10g. We have several MS-SQL and oracle databases that has to be integrate with our Oracle EBS database. Oracle says to have separate schema for Master and Work repository, and also create a new schema when connecting to the data store and use the same schema as a WORK SCHEMA when creating a physical schema. My question is:
1) What are all the privileges to be assigned to the new schema used as a WORK SCHEMA? Oracle EBS holds many FND schemas and APPS uses the synonyms of all the tables. So what oracle recommends when using EBS with ODI?
2) Do we need to create a separate work schema for each and every SOURCE Database as well?
3) We are not using separate oracle database for ODI we will be creating schemas in PROD to hold ODI data. Our management wants the the odi schema to hold the staging data. Can we use the the same Work schema mentioned in the first point as a staging area as well?
Thank you
Regards
Shahrukh Yasin

Hi Shahrukh ,
There are two ways.(1st one is recommended)
1.You can make source schema in one database and target schema, work schema in another database.
For source schema only read only access privilege.
You must have complete ownership in work schema and target schema(Minimum insert,update,delete).
Here you have to always create one work schema in every target database
2.if all schema present in 3 different database,you also need above criteria.
But here you don't have to create work schema always.its fixed.
This process takes much time for transformation and not an efficient way.

How to access Oracle database using UNIX?

Hi,
Does anyone know how to access Oracle database Oracle 8i that is hosted on unix server via unix command line?
Thanks,
Willy

Well, Oracle probably has a command line tool. I think it's called sqlplus or somesuch. Check you Oracle docs.
Of course, given that this is a Java forum, it's remotely possible that you're actually asking about accessing the database from a Java program.

Can we connect and access SAP database using db adapter?

Hi,
I need couple of details:
1) Can we connect to SAP database using db adapter and run select query to extract data from the SAP database tables?
2) Where can I download SAP adapter? How to install it? and how to plug that in to the JDev?
Cheers

1) Can we connect to SAP database using db adapter and run select query to extract data from the SAP database tables? It is possible as long as back-end DB version of SAP are supported by DB adapter. Oracle recommends SAP connectivity through Oracle Application Adapter for SAP rather than direct connection to SAP Database tables.
2) Where can I download SAP adapter? How to install it? and how to plug that in to the JDev?http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/adapters/pdf/DS_OracleASAdapter_SAP.pdf

Did you shut down the database before moving files?I didn't move any files, I just copied some files to the other node.
Can you connect in sqlplus?Yes that was possible. I also had a connection to the database using TOAD.
After looking for the problem together with a colleague I've found out that I had to add some more listening addresses. The problem was that my nodes node1 and node2 have the IPs 10.10.10.2 and 10.10.10.3 but the virtual server of the cluster which forms the database oracledb for the clients runs on 10.10.10.103. So there was the name for e.g. node1 in the configuration files but also the IP-address 10.10.10.103 which the system couldn't resolve. After adding all possibilities using the Net Manager and after restarting the services it worked fine. At least until now. I haven't tried everything yet... I will go on tomorrow... thx so far.

Remote access database using EM Database Control Console

When I install the Oracle database 10g, it gives me two choices:
1)Using Grid Control for Database Management and
2)Using Database Control for Database Management.
When I select the #2, according to the Guide, I'll be able to manage my database locally. (Assume the database server's IP address is: DB_IP_Address, then I can use: http://DB_IP_Address:5560/em). But wait a minute___
a)What does this "locally" mean? If the Oracle DB is installed in a remote location, and there is no LAN connection to it, can I still access it via the Oracle Enterprise Manager (Database Control Console)? (i.e., via the HTTP protocol)
b)The same question is asked for the iSQL*Plus in regarding to the remote access. I guess the answer to a) above will automatically answer the b) ? (Actually I doubt that I can access remote database using the iSQL*Plus via HTTP protocol).
Thanks
Scott

Hi,
and there is no LAN connection to itWell you'll need some network link in order to connect successfully.
What is meant by locally is that you can only manage databases installed on the local computer.
For example if you installed it on machine "CPTR1", and on another machine "CPTR2", then you can't use http://cptr1:5560/em to manage the databases on "CPTR2. And vice versa.
About iSQL*Plus, in fact, as far as the tns alias is ok from "CPTR1", you can connect to the databases on "CPTR2", "CPTR3", ....

Linux non-oracle user cannot connect to database using TNS

LS,
I've installed Oracle 11gR2 on a linux box (name="ilmserver") running CentOS 5.4 (based on RHEL).
Created user "oracle" and groups "oinstall" and "dba".
Installation under user "oracle" went fine, and logged in as "oracle" user I can - naturally - access the database easily (via SQL+, or using SQL Developer it works via Basic, TNS, and Advanced (=jdbc)).
I have a second user on the linux box called "informatica", on which I have installed Informatica ILM 5.3.2, which uses the Oracle database as its repository.
The "informatica" user has been granted the same groups as the "oracle" user, i.e. "oinstall" and "dba".
I have severe problems accessing the Oracle database as the "informatica" user.
Using SQL Developer I can access the database using the "Basic" method, but not TNS.
But guess what: for ILM to work to its fullest extent I need to implement an environment variable called TNS_ADMIN.
I have implemented it, it sits in bash_profile and as such works fine:
+[informatica@ilmserver ~]$ echo $TNS_ADMIN+
+/home/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/network/admin+
But as for being able to access it:
+[informatica@ilmserver ~]$ cat $TNS_ADMIN/tnsnames.ora+
cat: /home/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/network/admin/tnsnames.ora: Permission denied
Somehow I thought that granting "oinstall" group to "informatica" user would take care of this. Obviously it doesn't. I also granted "dba" group to "informatica", to no avail apparently.
This is then - I assume - also the reason that when I want to connect using TNS from within SQL Developer, the dropdown list is empty (because it's not able to read TNSNAMES.ORA).
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
Thanks heaps!
Cheers, Patrick

Naturally the "oracle" user has full access to its own directories.
A thought just occurred to me. I assume that theoretically it's possible to grant read privilige to informatica user on all these directories... would that do the trick?
But even if so, makes me wonder whether that is "best practice".
Also, I cannot imagine I'm the first person to encounter this scenario, and therefore there must be some standard approach to enable this.
Any suggestions/thoughts?
As for the TNSNAMES.ORA suggestion, I guess that is possible. Makes administration of TNSNAMES a bit more cumbersome though, as in, 2 files to maintain... risk of getting out of sync when making 'quick and dirty' changes without thinking things through too much (which shouldn't happen... but sometimes does anyway).
I'd prefer a solution where "informatica" has genuine access to TNSNAMES.ORA.
Thanks, Patrick

Access a file using applets

hello friends,
i'm trying to access a file using applets but i'm getting security error.
similar error for accessing the data base also so pls if you know help me how to access file/database using applets.

You need to use a signed applet and know where the file is and in an accessable area; signing an applet will not allow you to go on a "fishing expedition" through the file system.

Creating a new access database using JDBC

Hi Forum,
I have a problem in hand. Let me describe the problem:
I want to create an "access database" from java at runtime. "Access database" is file based, so for a database named test, it will have a file test.mdb.
Now, everything's sweet and wonderful, if somebody creates an "empty access database" at the client machine and i then connect to it and create the tables i require.
But the issue is i want to create the database at runtime (the database name and tables are determined at runtime).
Using the JDBC:ODBC bridge driver , i am able to connect to an existing database, but any "create database" statements are not supported.
A last ditch solution would be that i create an empty database using access and copy the file contents in the SQL server database as a a blob object. Then when i want to create a new access database at runtime, i create a file in a particular folder , with an .mdb
extension, copy the file contents from the SQL server (i also have an SQL server connection) BLOB object, and then try to connect to the
.mdb file.
But this approach seems a "quick hack" and can have problems (which i can't see as of now).
Can you suggest a better alternative for the problem.
See the Java Sun forum at this address for a discussion of a similar problem, but sadly with no solution.
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=31&threadID=484731

I have an applet that was previously connected to Oracle 9i. I am faced with connecting to MS Access temporarily for testing purposes.
I have been unable to successfully code connection in java. I have set up the DSN and can access in SQL Worksheet in JDev.
I saw your question regarding creating an access db, and thought you might be so kind as to help me code the connection to access!!!!
Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. I have a huge application to finish with alot of sqlj already completed. Connectivity is not my area of expertise!
Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated!!!
I am not sure if I have to use bridge? Am I progressing in right direction to migrating to SQL Server if need be?

How can I access a database remote without using dblink, synonyms,aliases?

My store procedure access a remote tables using dblink, synonyms, alias, but by business company requirenments I nedd to use another data base access method. My PL/SQL statement looks like
select c.cus_id, c.cus_name, p.bankaccno
into v_cus_id, v_cus_name, v_bankaccno
from customer c, payment@finantial p
where c.cus_id = p.cus_id
Are any method else to connect to several remote databases concurrently?
If Yes, plase say me how is it, or tell me where do I obtain some examples, or any documentation.
Edited by: user518321 on Apr 21, 2009 1:58 PM
Ok, But I must not use any of these data base access method, metioned: dbliks, aliases, synonyms.
Edited by: user518321 on Apr 21, 2009 2:05 PM
Ok, It is enough for now, I am surprised for the response time and for their arguments, thanks a lot.
Edited by: user518321 on Apr 21, 2009 2:50 PM

If you want to access a table in a remote database using SQL, you will need a database link. It would be exceptionally odd for the business to require that you access a remote database and to prohibit the use of database links. What is the business reason for that combination?
If you want to look into rather more esoteric solutions, you could load a JDBC driver for the remote database, write a Java stored procedure that queries the remote table using that JDBC driver, and then cobble together some PL/SQL that joins the two result sets. You won't be able to reference the remote table in SQL and the solution won't scale well as data volumes increase and you'll be writing a whole lot of code to manually join tables together, but it does avoid database links. Of course, whatever concerns lead to the ban on database links would probably apply to loading a JDBC driver into the database and writing Java stored procedures to access the remote database, but since you haven't explained the reasoning behind the restrictions, we're just guessing.

How do I open a pdf stored in a Microsoft Access database using Visual Basic studios 2012

Currently I am unable to find a valid method of being able to open a pdf stored in a Microsoft Access database using Visual Basic studios 2012. I've tried displaying the entire database on a form, but when I do this all the other columns show up with
the correct data besides the one containing the pdf's, it just displays <binary data> in each row down the column. I also tried another method with which you use the database as a dataset and can drag and drop the rows and columns into the form, which
again works for all the other columns besides the one containing the pdf's but this time I'm unable to interact with the column at all.
Not too sure if this is in the correct place, but any answers or help would be appreciated. Cheers.

Alex,
This forum is dedicated to Project and Project Server. You might get better response, if you post to a Visual Basic forum. Here are couple I could find.
