AS400 - which is the connectivity to use?

Hi everyone,
may you tell me which is the right connectivity to use in CrystalReport?
I've to connect Crystal whit AS400 data and made reports ...
Thanks for your help,
LC.

Hi LC,
Crystal only connects to AS400 using ODBC. Once you have the AS400 ODBC drivers installed and then configure a System DSN, CR should be able to connect.
Thank you
Don

Web Acceleration Client Error (513) - Internal Error
The Web Acceleration Client detected an internal error which caused the connection between the Web Acceleration Client and Web Acceleration Server to be broken. Retrying the web page may correct the problem.
I get this error continuously when working in the ancestry.com website. I have to reload the page on almost every search I do on that website. This is the ONLY website that I get this error message on, can work continuously for several hours on other websites and never get this message. I've talked to the people at Ancestry.com support and they made 2 recommendations: turn of antivirus (did not help) or switch to another web browser. I tried both IE 11 and Chrome Version 31.0.1650.63 m and I did not have the problem with either of those 2 browsers getting this error.
Is there a problem with how Firefox and ancestry.com are communicating with each other?

Hello byron.lewis, many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:

Failed to open the connection error using Business View OLE DB

I have a Crystal Report built on a Business View with the db being accessed by an OLE driver. Everything works fine using Crystal Designer, but when I try to access it through BOE I get the "Failed to open the connection" error. I have the ole drivers installed on the server.
We are on BOE 12.1.0.
The db is IBM as400.
Suggestions??

Ok so I spent the day trying to find the differences between the working and the non-working application. I began by adding code one piece at a time to the working application. The goal was to try and get it to break on the deployment server. I found the lines of code that is causing the break on the deployment server. Here it is:
    private void setReportParameters()
        try
            crystalReportDocument.SetParameterValue(0, reportUserName.Value);
            crystalReportDocument.SetParameterValue(1, reportArea.Value);
            crystalReportDocument.SetParameterValue(2, reportCDR.SelectedValue);
            crystalReportDocument.SetParameterValue(3, reportStatus.Value);
        catch (Exception ex)
            throw ex;
This sub-routine is called from my button click code and is used to set the parameters for the report. Once I added this to the working application it broke also. My goal here is to send the parameters to the report from a form the user is filling out. Please keep in mind this code works in Visual Studio 2005 and my local IIS server running on my development machine. It breaks on the target deployment server
The code broke on reports with sub-reports as well as report with no sub-reports. As soon as it was added and deployed the application through the "Failed to open the connection" error.
Thoughts?

Share the connection pool using weblogic

I want to make shared connection with the JDBC driver, I read that the follow syntax:
jdbc:oracle:thin:<USER>/@(PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <HOST>)(PORT = <PORT>)))(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = <SID>) (SERVER = SHARED)))
would let me have the JDBC connections shared with the others regular connections.
Is it true ?
Where to set such parameters in weblogic ?
I'm currently using the JDBC driver ( SERVICES->JDBC->DATA SOURCES-> connection pool (tab) ) configured in the following manner:
URL: +jdbc:bea:oracle://[dbIP]:1521+
Driver Class Name: weblogic.jdbc.oracle.OracleDriver
Properties:
user=ETL
portNumber=1521
SID=LIVDEV1
+serverName=[dbIP]+
Thanks

A 'shared' connection has to do with whether the DBMS spawns a separate OS process at the DBMS end to handle every single connection, or whether it spawns fewer, letting one DBMS-side process handle multiple logically distinct user connections, at some performance cost.
Depending on the DBMS configuration and platform, this may be optional, the default, or impossible. As to clientside properties, try setting
ServerType=shared.
And just to be clear, this has nothing to do with how/whether the connection is to be used at the application end. It will
always be considered as a single logical user, not a port for multiple independent client threads to use at once....

How to create the connection pool using jdbc20 driver?

Hi all,
My configuration is WL4.5 SP5 + jdk1.2.2+WinNT+ Oracle thin driver
8.1.6.
It is creating the connections with weblogic.jdbc.pool.Driver, whereas i
want the connections in the pool to be created with jdbc20 driver. This
how my pool definition is defined.
weblogic.jdbc.connectionPool.PoolName=\
url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@<IP address>:<Instance>,\
driver=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver,\
loginDelaySecs=1,\
initialCapacity=1,\
maxCapacity=40,\
capacityIncrement=2,\
allowShrinking=true,\
shrinkPeriodMins=5,\
refreshMinutes=10,\
testTable=dual,\
props=user=XXXX;password=XXXX
The reason is I want to use BLOB's. I have a message posted in jdbc news
group with the exception i got. But since this more of a environement
issue i am posting it here.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks
John

Here is the correct pool definition.

Oci_close does not release the connection when using DRCP

Hello everyone,
we are currently testing the deplyment of DRCP with 11g. I have the whole thing setup (correctly to my best knowledge), but I am facing an issue. The call to oci_close does not seem to release the connection to the pool as I would expect and therefore we see similar behavior like we were getting without using the DRCP.
Our setup is using two RAC instances running 11.1.0.6.0, I am using PHP 5.1.6 with PECL installed oci8 1.3.4. The DRCP pool is configured and started, each with 100 max servers.
When the webserver is idle it looks, well, idle.
SQL> SELECT INST_ID,NUM_BUSY_SERVERS FROM GV$CPOOL_STATS;
INST_ID NUM_BUSY_SERVERS
1 0
2 0
The script is as simple as it gets:
<?php
$c = oci_pconnect('scott','tiger','IWPPOOLED');
$s = oci_parse($c, 'select * from emp');
$r = oci_execute($s, OCI_DEFAULT);
oci_close($c);
sleep(30);
?>
What I would expect is that the script would connect to the pool, do the work for a tiny moment and then release the connection for usage by other script.
But after I point the browser to the script, I get a 30 second loading time (as expected) but the server is busy all the time, like this:
SQL> SELECT INST_ID,NUM_BUSY_SERVERS FROM GV$CPOOL_STATS;
INST_ID NUM_BUSY_SERVERS
1 0
2 1
After the 30 second sleep, it is released and busy servers are back to 0.
If I load the server with ab using 256 connections:
ab -n 1000000 -c 256 -k http://mywebserver/ocitest.php
the pool is maxed out and the connects are stalling:
SQL> SELECT INST_ID,NUM_BUSY_SERVERS FROM GV$CPOOL_STATS;
INST_ID NUM_BUSY_SERVERS
1 95
2 95
My network config for this service is following:
IWPPOOLED =
(DESCRIPTION =
(LOAD_BALANCE=ON)
(FAILOVER=ON)
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tcp)(HOST = 10.1.16.33)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tcp)(HOST = 10.1.16.34)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = IWP)
(SERVER=POOLED)
(FAILOVER_MODE=
(TYPE=SELECT)
(METHOD=BASIC)
(RETRIES=5)
(DELAY=3)
The phpinfo() look like this:
OCI8 Support enabled

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Don't forget to use oci_free_statement($s); See "Closing Oracle Connections" in The Underground PHP and Oracle Manual. (I was just simplifying this example today for the next release of the manual).
You may also see the "dedicated optimization", where a pooled server in a non- maxed-out pool is retained (unless needed by another PHP process) under the assumption that the initial PHP process might become active again. See http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/php/pdf/php-scalability-ha-twp.pdf
Feel free to email me offline (see my profile) if there are questions/data you don't want to post.

Finding which tablespace the index is using

Hello,
How do I find the tablespace in which the indexes of a particular schema are present. like getting the tablename , table , columname and tablespace present .
I found this in the OEM but did not know how to generate the SQL for that.
Thanks for any help.

I would use dba_indexes instead of dba_segments if you are not interested in physical storage information. The dba_indexes view provided the index_name and owner as well as the table_name and table_owner. The table and index owner might be different and this view will allow you to find all indexes for a table where you do not know the index names. You can join dba_indexes to dba_ind_columns for the index column list.

Can I move an iPhoto book to another iPhoto library (which contain the photo's used for the book)

I have imported a lot of photos from a travel from friends in my iPhoto library. I created and ordered a beautiful book for them, but I do want to get rid of all the photo;s from my library. So I have used iPhoto Library Manager to create a library for all these photos. Unfortunately it did not copy the book itself. So I still cannot delete all the photos from my main library.
Is there a way to copy the photo book (it was a lot of work) to the new library or save it in any other way so I can delete their photos from my main library?

no
Books are just databae entries and can not be moved independently - you can ony move the entire library - you can make a smaller library containing only the book for ease of moving and archiving - see Old Toad's Tutorial #9

Which are the accepted characters used in username and password?

Hello,
I would like to build a program using regex in order to accept the desirable characters username and password must have.
In my pogram i have the followings:
Username: 4 - 7 characters, I accept only letters,digits and _
Password: 6 - 8 characters, everything that is on keyboard such as @,#,$ , > , ) ? , ' , "
What shall i do?Are the previous right?
May you please tell me your opinion as far as accepted characters in username and password are concerned?
Thanks,in advance!

Every restriction you place on a password reduces the available entropy and therefore makes it easier to crack.However, certain resrictions--such as requiring at least one non-letter, not allowing dictionary words, not allowing it to contain the username, etc., while slightly reducing the average time for a brute force attack, can make other very quick attacks--like a dictionary attack--untenable. So there are some restrictions that are a good idea.I will concede this but it I am not keen on protecting a user from his own stupidity. Since this namby-pamby approach is the industry norm I have to go along with it but I hate it.In some cases you may be protecting your own assets from the user's stupidity, depending on what his account gives him access to.

Which is the difference in use of a preselected or not Mozilla Firefox?

When I try to start Firefox browser a question rise asking if i want Firefox to be my preselected browser.
If I say ''No'' the programme keep going on (operates ok.)
Then what is the reason of the question?

Sounds like it is asking you if you want Firefox to be your '''default browser'''. IOW, the web browser that you want to handle internet URL's (or web links) that are opened by other programs that you have installed.

I feel the problem is in the configuration of the server's authentication which is requiring something beyond SQL server authentication.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

One other item of note is the "SQL Server Network Configuration (32bit) "on this server is empty -- no "Protocols for MSSQLSERVER" branch like the 64-bit "SQL Server Network Configuration".
This is perfectly normal if all you have is a 64-bit instance on the machine. You would only see items here if you have a 32-bit server.
The odd part is the Native Client Configuration shows up under (32bit) with Client Protocols...
Yes, you always have a 32-bit client, which is to be used with 32-bit applications.
In any case, whether server is 32-bit or 64-bit is immaterial when you connect.
I'm afraid that I have not worked with TDS packets so that I can say what is wrong with this package, and I don't think I will try to read the TDS spec to say what the problem may be. But the issue seems to be that whatever you are using to create
the TDS packets is not doing this fully correctly.

What is the database string used in the connection box for sybase-merant?

I am using report wizard of Reports Developer 9 to create report for Sybase database. Assume the Sybase database uses the following setting:
user: sa
password: password
computer IP address: 10.0.187.30
computer host name: development
port number: 2468
database name: TEST01
If I use sybase-merant (JDBC Query) as the data connection, I need to input USERNAME, PASSWORD and DATABASE at the Connection Box. What should I input for the DATABASE? I have inputted "sa" as the USERNAME and "password" as the PASSWORD. When I inputted "10.0.187.30:2468:TEST01" as the DATABASE, I got error which indicated the data source cannot be connected. I have also tried "10.0.187.30,2468:TEST01", "10.0.187.30:2468", "10.0.187.30,2468" and "10.0.187.30", but none of them worked.
Thank you.
- Man Ip

Hello,
If you go through the link, mentioned above, an entry is needed to register a JDBC-Driver for your database(sybase).
Driver entry contains a attibute "connectString", which contain the
connection syntax to the datbase.
connectString = "mainProtocol:subProtocol://databaseName"
mainProtocol and subProtocol part of the connection String are defined in config file and "databaseName" has to be mentioned in JDBC Query Connection Diloag.
Sample databasename : database:portnumber
Here database refer to the sybase database user want to connect and portnumber : port on which its running(it will be normally 4100 or 5000).
Please refer the comments in file ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf/JDBCPDS.CONF for more detail.
With Regards
Reports team.

Which data flow source type to use when specifying a connection manager using an ODBC provider

I'm trying to create a SSIS package to connect to an IBM iSeries DB2 database. After running into all sorts of issues seemingly related to data type (issues with packed decimal fields actually having places to the right of the decimal) I decided to
try creating an ODBC data source on my windows server 2008 r2 Administrative Tools - Data Sources ODBC to connect to the iSeries and then create an SSIS connection manager to use the windows ODBC connection. Successfully created the ODBC connection in
windows then successfully added a SSIS connection manger to my project using the windows ODBC connection and tested the connection manager successfully. To create the connection manager I RMB in the connection manager section - select new connection
- select ODBC - select the newly created ODBC connection from the list and operate the ok button. Edited the connection manager specified the userid and pw and connected succcessfully.
Problem is I don't seem to be able to find a Data Flow Source in the SSIS tool box that will let me specify the connection manager using the ODBC connection. The Data Flow Sources in my tool box are "Pointer", "ADO NET Source",
"Excel Source", "Flat File Source", "OLE DB Source", "Raw File Source" and "XML Source".
Can someone kindly show me what Data Flow Source I should be using and how to specify my SSIS connection manager that uses the windows ODBC connection?
Thanks Much in advance for any help, Roscoe
