Basic question regarding SSIS 2010 Package where source is Microsoft Excel 97-2005 and there is no Microsoft office or Excel driver installed in Production

Hi all,
I got one basic question regarding SSIS 2010 Package where source is Microsoft Excel 97-2005. I wanted to know How this package works in production where there is no Microsoft office or Excel driver installed. To check that there is excel driver installed
or not, I followed steps: Start-->Administrative Tools--> Data Sources(ODBC)-->Drivers and I found only 2 drivers one is SQL Server and another one is SQL Server Native Client 11.0.
Windows edition is Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise, Service Pack-1 and System type is 64-bit Operating System.
We are running this package from SQL Server Agent and using 32-bit (\\Machine_Name\d$\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Binn\DTExec.exe /FILE "\\Machine_Name\d$\ Folder_Name\EtL.dtsx" /CONFIGFILE "\\Machine_Name\d$\Folder_Name\Config.dtsConfig"
/MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E) to run this package. I opened the package and tried to find out what connection we have used and found that we have used "Excel Connection Manager" and ConnectionString=Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=F:\Fares.xls;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES"; and source is ‘Excel Source’
I discussed with my DBA and He said that SSIS is having inbuilt Excel driver but I am not convinced.
Could anyone please clear my confusion/doubt?
I have gone through various links but my doubt is still not clear.

Thanks Shiven:) If Answer is Helpful, Please Vote

Hi S Kumar Dubey,
In SSIS, the Excel Source and Excel Destination natively use the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider which is installed by SQL Server. The Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider deals with .xls files created by Excel 97-2003. To deal with .xlsx files created by
Excel 2007, we need the Microsoft ACE OLEDB Provider. SQL Server doesn’t install the Microsoft ACE OLEDB Provider, to get it we can install the
2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components or
Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable or Microsoft Office suit.
The drivers listed in the ODBC Data Source Administrator are ODBC drivers not OLEDB drivers, therefore, the Excel Source/Destination in SSIS won’t use the ODBC driver for Excel listed in it by default. On a 64-bit Windows platform, there are two versions
of ODBC Data Source Administrator. The 64-bit ODBC Data Source Administrator is C:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe, while the 32-bit one is C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe. The original 32-bit and 64-bit ODBC drivers are installed by the Windows operating system.
By default, there are multiple 32-bit ODBC drivers and fewer 64-bit ODBC drivers installed on a 64-bit platform. To get more ODBC drivers, we can install the 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components or Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable.
Besides, please note that 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components only install 32-bit ODBC and OLEDB drivers because it only has 32-bit version, but the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable has both 32- bit version and 64-bit
version.

Weird question in SSIS 2012 package

hi folks:
I've created a SSIS 2012 package in my local machine using
Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Designer
Version 11.0.3436.0
This package contains a script task using .NET framework 4 .
Everything works fine and I decided to deploy to the QA server.
On the QA server, the package wont' work then I decided to open in the SSIS designer with the same version 11.0.3436.0
This is when this weird things happens.
On the QA machine, when I opened this deployed pkg directly in SSIS designer and ran it, the pkg failed with the error pointing to the script task.
Then, I literally opened the script task and closed it WITHOUT changing anything .
After that, I ran the same package in SSIS designer... Guess what, it worked!!!
Weird! could anyone here help explain what just happened? this makes my deployment process a nightmare as I have to literally opened the script task after it gets deployed and change the pkg location as SSIS designer will save the "good"
pkg in a different location other than deployed one.
Thanks a lot!

Hi cat_ca,
According to your description, the first time you run the SSIS package in SSIS designer, the package failed with the error pointing to the script task, you opened and closed the script task and re-run the package, it worked fine.
When we debug the SSIS package, the script component will be compiled to binary. In this case, the binary reverse failed due to some reason, so the script task is not normally build. To troubleshoot the problem, we can make use of logging feature to monitor
execution of an SSIS package.
For more information, please refer to the following documents:

A very basic question regarding data block

Hi All,
I've a very basic question concerning data blocks in oracle forms 10g.
I want to make a view only screen (only query allowed, no update, insert or delete).
I'll have 6-7 fields on the screen but all the fields are not from a single table.
For e.g, let say we've field names to display on the screen are f1, f2, f3, f4..
Out of this f1 and f2 will come from table A and f3, f4 will come from table B.
Now, my question : Is it possible to create a data block using the data block wizard for such situation if we select create data block from table options?
If no, can you please tell me an approach to do this.
Regards,
Navnit

Hello ,
First write your query & select datablock property.
just change the below properties
Query Data Source Type=From Clause Query
Query Data Source Name = (Paste query here)
now you should add the block ITEMs and give their names according to query columns names. shows the column on canvas and run..
Best Regard

Problem with deploying ssis 2010 package

hi,
i have installed vs 2010,sql server 2008 and sql server 2012. i have created ssis package in vs 2010. when i am trying to give connection name for sql serev while deploying package into sql server 2008 or 2012 it is giving error.
error is:
the version of sql server instance does not supported in the selected operation. specify a different sql server instance.(microsoft.sql server.management.integration services)
operation not supported on version 10.50
Please help on this

In my company, I use VS 2008 and SQLServer 2008R2, and I have rptproj projects in VS 2008.
The rptproj project has several rdl files.
Iko says
You can now use Visual Studio 2010 to edit .rtproj report projects and .rdl reports.
You need VS10 SP1, then install the Data Tools for VS10, followed by the installation of SQL Server Express 2012 with Reporting Services and Data Tools.

Basic questions regarding OVM for a pair of physical hosts

We have two servers available to try creating a small production-ready (Oracle supported) environment using Oracle VM. This system is for a service that my department is piloting and we're trying to do it without buying more hardware. If the initial pilot goes well then we'll improve / enhance where we need to.
We are not using Oracle VM right now and I have no experience with it, so I am hoping the forum membership can sanity-check me and answer a few questions.
Here is what we have:
* "BigGuy" - Dell R510 / Xeon X5650 / 6 cores with HT / 24 GB RAM
* "LittleGuy" - Dell R310 / Xeon X3450 / 4 cores with HT / 16 GB RAM
* We do not have a SAN, all the storage is on the physical hosts and there is plenty of it (about 1.5 TB each)
On BigGuy, we were thinking about putting:
A guest to host the production database
A guest to host the production web server
On LittleGuy, we were thinking about putting:
A guest to host the standby database
A guest to host a standby web server (this would be an image of the prod web server that we could bring up if we need to do hardware maintenance on BigGuy)
A guest to host an RMAN repository
If we have to fail over to the standy on LittleGuy then we will revert back to the primary db on BigGuy as soon as possible.
The questions:
1. In general, does this seem a reasonable approach given the nature of the project?
2. I'm confused about where we install the Oracle VM Manager. It seems like we actually need a third physical host for the VM manager and its database. However, we don't have a third machine at our disposal, so can we get by with installing it (complete with an SE database) within the Oracle VM Server running on LittleGuy?
3. Since these hosts are dissimilar, my understanding is that Live Migration won't work, but can I still run virtual machines on each physical host and manage them from the Oracle VM Manager running on LittleGuy (assuming the answer to Question 1 is Yes)? If I understand correctly, BigGuy would be in one server pool and LittleGuy would be in another. Is that correct?
Thanks,
-Tom

There is no HA or Live Migration without shared storage, so you'd only be getting the benefits of generic virtualization. Also keep in mind that Oracle VM Server only provides access to completely unusued local storage, so don't create one big RAID array on your Dells, as the unused space would be unusable. Rather, create two distinct devices, one for the operating system install (which only requires 10-15GB) and another to store your virtual disk images. Also, as you intend to host database instances, I would also recommend creating physical devices for ASM storage for those instances, for the best possible performance.
2. I'm confused about where we install the Oracle VM Manager. It seems like we actually need a third physical host for the VM manager and its database. However, we don't have a third machine at our disposal, so can we get by with installing it (complete with an SE database) within the Oracle VM Server running on LittleGuy?Not easily with OVM3: there is no Oracle VM Manager template and you need Oracle VM Manager up and running to fully configure your Oracle VM Servers. Some customers have had some success creating a VirtualBox instance with Oracle VM Manager and then migrating that instance to an Oracle VM Server guest, but I haven't found a detailed how-to document on this. You could also run Oracle VM Manager as a guest of an alternatively virtualization platform (if one exists).

If I understand correctly, BigGuy would be in one server pool and LittleGuy would be in another. Is that correct?The lack of shared storage makes live migration impossible anyway, so the dissimilarity between the hosts is just an additional factor that would prevent live migration were shared storage to be made available later. However, you can manage multiple physical hosts and server pools from a single Oracle VM Manager instance, so the second half of your question is correct.

Basic question regarding recording of sounds..

So I have this idea that I would like to use some voice during my music making and since I don't own a direct microphone but I do have a microphone on my headset and built-in to my Mac I would like to use one of those.
But I can't seem to find out how to do it in Logic.
I know it's a quite simple question but I still hope one of you can help me
Best Regards.

Hi Simon,
simply set the Audio Device to "built in" and select the Microphone in the OS X Audio Prefs. Should work. Don't forget Logic can only use one Device at once, so if you are using an audio interface, you'll have tu built an aggregate device or switch back and forth.

Basic questions regarding the behavior of tables

I have a table formated with four columns of fixed widths. Lets say, 20, 100, 200 and 80. When manipulating this table graphically I can sometimes added and delete rows very nicely but then, out of the blue, deleting a row causes all remaining rows(columns) to jump to equal widths, 100, 100, 100, 100. This will happen almost always if I delete the last row but never happens if I delete the code. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Basic questions regarding installing Forefront EP Client 2010 on Windows 2012 R2

Hi,
We have a handful of servers and client machines (although these always seem to be expanding) and as such have previously just installed the Forefront Endpoint 2010 Client manually onto the various endpoints with updates being pushed via WSUS from a Windows
2008R2 machine, without running to a full installation of SCCM or the Forefront Endpoint Server. However, trying to install the FEP 2010 client directly onto new Windows 2012R2 servers result in a "This OS is not supported" error.
After checking some articles it appears that FEP 2010 might well be supported on Win 2012R2 (and Windows 8), but only if installed via SCCM. Is this correct?
We do have access to SCCM 2012, but again I have shied away from this. I had hoped that maybe the SCCM Endpoint client could also be installed manually once more, but trying to install this on a Windows 2012R2 machine results in a "Windows compatibility
mode is not supported by this program" error.
Am I barking up the wrong tree and will I now have to finally learn and install SCCM? If so I take it that I can update my 2008R2 WSUS server to firstly Win 2012RS WSUS, then add SCCM 2012?
Cheers
Chris

Hi Joyce,
Thanks for the feedback.
Hi,
>>After checking some articles it appears that FEP 2010 might well be supported on Win 2012R2 (and Windows 8), but only if installed via SCCM. Is this correct?
According to the blog below, Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010 with Update Rollup 1
is supported on Windows Server 2012 R2.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2013/09/16/support-questions-about-win-8.1-and-winsvr-2012-r2-for-configmgr-and-endpoint-protection.aspx
Please make sure you are running FEP 2010 update rollup 1. You could get it from the following link.
http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2907566/en-us
Thanks for the feedback. I should have said that I have indeed tried this. From the initial link you posted I found the "Update Rollup 1 for Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010" (http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2551095/en-us), however, this update
itself apparently requires a prerequisite. Whist I have tried to install the prerequisite (http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2554364/en-us) and the Forefront Update Rollup 1 directly onto a a Windows 2012 R2 machine, I end up with errors:
Installing the Prerequisite result in a "Error code: 1642" in the log file. Have have tried to chase this error, but have not spent too much time digging as yet, but this appears to be more to do with the FEP server than the client.
Installing with the FEP Update Rollup (obviously without the prerequisite), give us three folders (FepExt, FepReport and FepUx), none of which seem to be the client per se
>>Ah, the later problem of trying to install a client from SCCM 2012 onto Windows 2012R2 maybe because I have been using SCCM 2012 SP1, and not SCCM 2012R2??
In SCCM 2012, Endpoint Protection 2012 is integrated so you cannot install FEP 2010 in it.
Best Regards,
Joyce
No no, What I meant was that I had hoped that I could install the client contained within SCCM 2012 R2 installation material manually onto a vanilla Windows 2012 R2 box (which is what I'm trying to do), in the same way that I could install the FEP 2010 on
previous Windows OS. The ISO that I have currently from our systems team is that of SCCM 2012 SP1, not SCCM 2012 R2, and the client within the SP1 package does not install in Windows 2012 R2. I'm tyring to get hold of the SCCM 2012 R2 ISO now, which (from
what I read) should allow me to manually install the client.
I may well play with SCCM later, but is a little over kill for our estate (read 10's of servers and clients, rather than 1000's), however, we should have a campus licence for SCCM.
Regards
Chris

A basic question regarding derived class

Hi,
I am new to Java development, so this might be a very trivial question:
class Base {
public void b() {
System.out.println("Base::b() method invoked");
class Derived {
public void d() {
System.out.println("Derived::d() method invoked");
class Testing1 {
public static void main (String[] args) {
Base val = new Derived();
obj.d();
I expected this to compile ( expecting d() to be treated as a virtual function). However I get an error message : "cannot find symbol : symbol d() : location: class Base".
1. Is it possible to know where I went wrong ?
2. How can I invoked d() method from val ?
Regards,
Anirvan

two things I see are:
1. obj isn't defined anywhere
2. class derived should extend base by: class Derived extends Base

A few basic questions regarding Final Cut Studio & the programs it includes

Ok..first of all..i'm new at video editing. Can a person learn how to use Final Cut pro, on their own? Is it user friendly like imovie?
Secondly... what are the exact names of the programs that come with Fina cut studio?
Are they?
-Motion Pictures
-Live Type
-Cinema Tools
-Final Cut Pro
-Compressor
Do these five programs make up Final Cut Studio? I have access to the above programs, but i'm not sure if its worth installing them or not. Are there any other files that come with these programs?
I'm just wondering if it's worth my time trying to learn the programs or if i'm better off justing using imovie.
Thanks

Ok..first of all..i'm new at video editing. Can a
person learn how to use Final Cut pro, on their own?
Is it user friendly like imovie?
It is not as user-friendly as iMovie, depending on how you define "user-friendly". What do you need to do with it? My friend made a very nice 30-minute short film on iMovie and I still use it for basic projects (wedding videos and slideshows). However, iMovie is just a "toy" compared to Final Cut's capabilities.
Secondly... what are the exact names of the programs
that come with Fina cut studio?
Are they?
-Motion Pictures
-Live Type
-Cinema Tools
-Final Cut Pro
-Compressor
Actually, those are the programs included in Final Cut Pro itself (save Motion Pictures, which is actually just called Motion). The full package of Final Cut Studio includes Final Cut Pro, Motion, Soundtrack Pro and DVD Studio Pro. Go here for more info: http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/
I'm just wondering if it's worth my time trying to
learn the programs or if i'm better off justing using
imovie.
Again, what do you need to use them for? In general, I would recommend learning Final Cut Studio, if you have access to it. There is a learning curve from iMovie, but the Final Cut layout is very intuitive and easy to learn. If video editing is something you want to get into as a career choice, I'd say get crackin' on Final Cut.
Good luck!

He I have a very basic question regarding reporting of invoice lines and related receiver lines

The documentation shows that receiver transaction id and receiver shipment header and line id should be joined to the same columns in AP invoice lines but these columns are not populated. What is the join for Payables and Purchasing 12.0 and beyond. We are on 12.2.4.
Please advise.

Yes, he does not want redirects because it is POF. Also, redirects don't stay in address bar (at the one I created) - once the screen loads you see the same long URL in address bar. He says I should be able to create another public name for the website (made of forms and reports). Maybe I should go with MOD_REWRITE module? I am reading about it now and they say it's more like renaming then redirecting and I think that's more like what my boss is looking for. Key question: if I use MOD_REWRITE to redirect, would the original (long) URL string be displayed once the first screen loads? I am trying to avoid that. I need users to type http://virtualserver/welcome and to STAY that way in address bar.
Thanks.

Basic question regarding c210 install

Hello,
I have installed UCS C series server and able to access CIMC. But, when I try to install ESXi vsphere, I am not able to launch virtual media from Virtual KVM console. On the console, I have this error message. Can anyone explain how to fix this issue?.
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
Thanks,
Karthik.

Karthik,
Sound like you have a couple issues.
1) Unable to launch virtual media - which sounds like you've resolved if you've launched the SCU utiility. Please confirm if this is now working.
2) Issue with RAID controller. Can you detail which controller you have?
If you're using the onboard LSI controller you have the BIOSO set correctly - "SWRAID". If you're using an LSIMegaRAID controller, you'll need the BIOS setting for "Enhanced" SATA mode.
Regards,
Robert

Basic Questions regarding InterMedia

Hi,
I have few questions related to this Intermedia.
1. is it client-server kind of software piece? I mean will it needed to be installed on each and every user's machine?
2. Just to make sure , it's a programmatic way to do the conversion from text document (e.g. MS word) to the database. i.e. user types data in MS Word and then the Java program will be able to take care of the further processing. Right?
3. Is there different kind of API that we need to use interMedia or is it that when we have proper Oracle version it is automatically available?
Thanks-
Kirti

Kirti,
Read the interMediaOverview document
on OTN. That will answer your questions.
interMedia option is part of ORACLE 8i Server. At the time of creating the database you have to install this option.
It provides for managing (loading, retrieving, full-text search) rich data types
Text (clob/blob), Image (OrdImage), Video (OrdVideo), Audio (OrdAudio).
There are tools like Clipboard and Annotator that are part of Media Developer's kit that is downloadable from OTN.
Over 150 document formats are supported and
that includes word2000, pdf etc.
Take care

Very basic question regarding drag/drop files in 10.6.5

Just (finally) updated to Snow Leopard and the simple way of dragging a file to the bar (just above the list of items in the folder) so as to move it to that folder no longer works.
I prefer not to drag it to above other files in the folder and hoping that the file won't end up in a folder (which has now happened several times).
There must be a simple-no-brainer way of doing this as there was before in 10.5 and as far back as I can remember (been using Macs since the mid-90's).
Why did Apple decide to change this? Did they find a simpler way that I haven't figured out?
Thanks for any advice.
RonL

MacRumors forum answered my question almost immediately... and yes they acknowledged that Apple had changed this in Snow Leopard for no good reason.
On both my Leopard and Snow Leopard systems, you cannot drag a file to the title bar (not the "name bar"). On both systems, you can drag a file to the empty space in a window. I just tested to make sure. So, either your description of the problem is completely and utterly inadequate, you are misunderstanding what was said on MacRumors, or someone on MacRumors doesn't know what they're talking about.
How long have you guys been using Macs?
26 years, like baltwo. As a Mac support professional, programmer, web designer and more. I've forgotten more about Macs than you have ever known, I'm sure. Nobody here is impressed that you have used Macs for a little more than half that time, and your rudeness is most definitely not appreciated.
It's one thing to not give me an answer... no problem, fine, but it is an entirely different thing to say that what I have done for years, and that has worked easily for me, has never worked.
You claim that it changed with Snow Leopard. Clearly, it did not. As I've said, I have both Leopard and Snow Leopard systems and have verified that as fact. Once upon a time you could drag to the title bar, but I honestly don't have any idea when that behavior changed. I'd guess in 10.0, but have no way to verify that at this point.

Basic question regarding Contract data exchange between CRM and ERP

Hi,
1) At a very general level, can somebody tell me via what technology are contract documents exchanged between CRM and ERP? IDocs, RFC modules or proxies?
2) Is it possible to sychronise changes in a contract, e.g. if the contract is changes in the ERP system, those changes are auotomatically updated in the CRM contract?
3) Can somebody point me to any documentation on this?
Kind Regards,
Tony.

contracts are exchanged between CRM ans ERP ssytem ny RFC and FM , you use object SALESCONTRACT for this,it is possible to synchronize changes between both the systems
