BI Publisher JDBC for Unidata database

Does any one know how to setup the BI Publisher - JDBC add a data source to connect to Unidata database?
I followed up the IBM Unidata JDBC instuction and found it not really working at all.
Any one been setup like that please give me a light.
thanks

JDBC for Unidata 5.1?

Does anyone know if there is a jdbc driver for Unidata 5.1?

I've have the same question regarding Unidata 5.2. Did you ever get a response or any sort of resolution? I checked the Informix site (informix.com) and one of their documents said that version 6.0 (due out in Q3 or Q4 of 2002) was going to be JDBC compliant. Obviously, that doesn't help us much, but I'm still searching for a work-around.

Jdbc for mySql Database

I want to connect to MySql Database. My program Source is :
import java.sql.*;
@SuppressWarnings({"ALL"})
public class test {
public static void main(String args[]) throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException, IllegalAccessException, InstantiationException {
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver").newInstance();
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:odbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306, "root", "edlovema1017");
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
stmt.executeUpdate("DROP TABLE users");
There is an error when my program is running.
this error :
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
     at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)
     at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39)
     at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25)
     at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585)
     at com.intellij.rt.execution.application.AppMain.main(AppMain.java:90)

1) How do you compile that?
in
getConnection ("jdbc:odbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306, "root", "edlovema1017");closing " is missing for the first parameter
2) why jdbc:odbc:mysql not just jdbc:mysql ?
3) as sabre150 stated, use
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver")instead of
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver").newInstance();4) NEVER leave connection opened - add con.close() at the end
5) Specify the database name, e.g.
getConnection ("jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/mydb", "root", "edlovema1017");6) good luck

JDBC connection for Unidata (6.1) database

Does any one know from the BI Publisher JDBC data source how to connect to a Unidata 6.1 database?
I have installed the UnidataDK on the BI Publisher machien, but not sure what's the setting for the class driver and connection string.
And also what else need to do for Oracle BIPublisher applicaton to know the Unidata driver path etc.
Appreciate anyone can give me a light.

Hi,
according to this document, Unidata JDBC driver class name is {noformat}com.ibm.u2.jdbc.UniJDBCDriver and URL format is jdbc:ibm-u2://<host>[:<port>]/<account>[[;name=value]...]{noformat}

How to set JDBC Data Sources in Oracle MapViewer for Oracle database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1)

How to set JDBC Data Sources in Oracle MapViewer for Oracle database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1)?
The following is my configuration in the conf\mapViewerConfig.xml:
<map_data_source name="mvdemo12"
jdbc_host="127.0.0.1"
jdbc_sid="orcl12c1"
jdbc_port="1522"
jdbc_user="mvdemo"
jdbc_password="7OVl2rJ+hOYxG5T3vKJQb+hW4NPgy9EN"
jdbc_mode="thin"
number_of_mappers="3"
allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi="true"
editable="true"/>

But it does not work.
After use "sqlplus mvdemo/[email protected]:1522/pdborcl", it connected to the Oracle database 12c.
Does anyone know it?
Thanks,

For 11.1.1.7.1 use the syntax for jdbc_sid, i.e.
//mypdb1.foo.com as described in the README,
- MapViewer native (non-container) data sources can now use database service name in place of SID. To supply a db service name, you will use the same jdbc_sid attribute, but specify the service name with double slashes in front, such as follows:
<map_data_source name="myds"
 jdbc_host="foo.com"
 jdbc_sid="//mypdb1.foo.com"
 jdbc_port="1522"
/>
For 11.1.1.7.0 use a container_ds instead.
i.e. instead of using
<map_data_source name="my_12c_test"
 jdbc_host="mydbinstance"
 jdbc_sid="pdborcl12c"
 jdbc_port="1522"
 jdbc_user="mytestuser"
 jdbc_password="m2E7T48U3LfRjKwR0YFETQcjNb4gCMLG8/X0KWjO00Q="
 jdbc_mode="thin"
 number_of_mappers="6"
 allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi="false"
 editable="false"
 />
use
<map_data_source name="my_12c_test"
 container_ds="jdbc/db12c"
 number_of_mappers="6"
 allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi="false"
 editable="false"
 />
In my case the Glassfish 3.1.2.2 JDBC connection pool definition was
Property
url jdbc:oracle:thin:@mydbinstance:1522/pdborcl12c.rest_of.service.name
Uncheck the Wrap JDBC Objects option in Advanced panel, i.e. the Edit JDBC Connection Pool Advanced properties page.
Add a JDBC resource for that newly created pool
Use that in mapviewerconfig.xml as above

I want JDBC driver for Sybase database...

Hi All:
Can any one help me with JDBC driver for Sybase database ? I have surfed the net, but not able to find a Sybase driver that works correctly.
Also, can you please let me know if anything special needs to be done in case of Sybase database connection, apart from what we normally do to connect to a database like "Oracle" or "MS SQL Server".
Thanks and Regards,

And why do you think someone using Oracle might know the Competitor's drivers?
Having said this: you should give jTDS a try:
http://jtds.sourceforge.net
Also, can you please let me know if anything special
needs to be done in case of Sybase database
connection, apart from what we normally do to connect
to a database like "Oracle" or "MS SQL Server".It's all in the docs of the driver

JDBC for non-relational Databases.

Hi All,
correct me if I am wrong in my understanding,
1. JDBC are a set of specifications (as interfaces etc..) which each
vendor is expected to provide implementation.
2. JDBC is for relationsla databases only (like oracle,MySQL etc..) it
does not take into account the access to non-relational databases.
3. If 2 is true, is there an equivalent of JDBC for non-relational
databases?
TIA.

1. JDBC are a set of specifications (as interfaces etc..) which each
vendor is expected to provide implementation.
Broadly speaking, yes. It doesn't have to be the vendor that provides the implementation, and an ODBC driver (to be used via the JdbcOdbc bridge) is adequate if a native JDBC driver is not available.
2. JDBC is for relationsla databases only (like oracle,MySQL etc..) it
does not take into account the access to non-relational databases.
It expects tabular results. Aside from that I don't think it mandates anything about the design of the underlying system. Certainly it's entirely agnostic about syntactic issues.
For example, it can talk to Excel spreadsheets, via the JdbcOdbc bridge, and Excel is by no stretch of the imagination a relational database. IMS is not a relational database, but that has a JDBC driver.
3. If 2 is true, is there an equivalent of JDBC for non-relational
databases?
2 is not true, and I'm not aware of any "non relational" database connection standard, probably for this very reason. There may well be vendor specific tools for talking to some systems.

XML Publisher with Non Oracle databases

Hi,
Can we use XML Publisher with non oracle databases like Postgres ,mySQL etc.

Hi
Not sure if you're talking Apps or non but you can do it equally with both. Check out the Data Engine in the user guide and look for Distributed Queries. XMLP will need a jdbc connection to the db but you can then pass a query and get XML back.
You can even write one query to pull back say customers from Oracle and their invoices from MySQL, you'll get a merged data set back with a master detail relationship btw customers-invoices

"Error while accessing porting layer for ORACLE database via getSessionId()

My ejb3.0 Entity is created from Emp table in scott/tiger schema of an Oracle 10g database. I am guessing I made some mistake creating the datasource or uploading the driver, because when I run my application, I get a long exception stack trace. The bottom-most entry in the stack trace is:

JDBC for JDK1.1 connection with Oracle 8.0.5

I have a client running Oracle 8.0.5 on an NT machine. I have downloaded the 8.0.5 OCI8 and thin JDBC from Oracle web site.
Using the JdbcChecker.java sample code, I am unable to make a connection to the Oracle DB. I tested JDK1.1.8 with the new jdbc and also with the jdbc that originally came with Oracle (orant\jdbc\lib) but to no avail. I tested JDK1.2.2 with the 8.1.5 jdbc, also no luck. I compiled and ran the code each time, using
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@" + database, username, password);
where database is a.b.c.d:port_no:sid
The error that came out for jdk1.1.8 was:
(after printing out 'connecting...')
java.sql.SQLException: Refused: ROR=(CODE=12505) (EMFI=4)))) ....
Is there a daemon or something that is not running? I am new to Oracle but not to jdbc. My client has used Oracle a lot but not doing any java programming with it.
What am I missing here?
Thanks.

Could you verify that the listener for the database is configured properly and that it is running?

Regarding File to JDBC/MS Access database

Hi all,
I am trying to insert some values in to MS access database table.I kept the .mdb file in the local PI folder.I am getting connection error
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=//test/data/input/Employee.mbd': SAPClassNotFoundException: jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
i have given the configuration as:
JDBC Driver: jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
Connection: jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=//test/data/input/Employee.mbd
Please give me some pointers.
Regards,
Anika

Hi Anika,
Also please check for :
You can set the configuration as following:-
JDBC Driver : sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
Connection : jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ= Full Path of DB file;
eg of full path:D:\USERS\Employee\employee.mdb
Please go through these steps: (Assuming you are working on Windows)
1) An ODBC driver for your database must be installed on the Windows computer running the application server.
Check if there's an ODBC driver for MS Acess on the application Server.
2) To connect through an ODBC driver, you must install the Sun JDBC-ODBC Bridge driver on the Windows computer running the application server. The driver comes with the Sun Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition, for Windows.
Also there is another point.
sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
This driver is a part of the JDK kit and so, you need not install the driver on your XI server. Check the SAP Note JDBC FAQ for this info.
3)Define a DSN on the Windows system hosting your application server.
4)These parameters you need to give while configuring the JDBC receiver adapter channel

What the Enviroment required for java databases programs?

Hi guys
What the enviroment required for java databases programs?
If I have oracle of version 9i and java 1.4.1 platform
do I need Jdeveloper platform ?

What the enviroment required for java databases programs?What do you mean by "environment"?
f I have oracle of version 9i and java 1.4.1 platformYou just need to download Oracle's 9i JDBC driver (ojdbc14.jar) and put that in your CLASSPATH. Then write JDBC code to connect to Oracle and issue SQL commands.
do I need Jdeveloper platform ?No, JDeveloper is an IDE. Not required.
Why Java 1.4.1? We're up to Java 6 now. You're two major versions of the JDK behind.

JDBC for Postgresql(on Linux): java.lang.NullPointerExceptio--Please HELP!

I'm trying to build a JSP web application with Apache Tomcat 4.0 on Linux, using PostgreSQL database.
The test page for building a connection to the database is very simple.
However, unfortunately, I always get the following error message from the web server.
The code is also show below.
I have another Tomcat server working on Window2000 with Oracle. So I change the JDBC driver to Oracle on that machine, and it works fine.
I guessed I might have some problem with the Tomcat setting, but I'm not sure what I need to change.
The directory of my web application is built under the webapps.
And I've added JAVA_HOME, JAVA_HOME/lib/tool.jar, and JDBC for PostgreSQL to my CLASSPATH.
Is there any other configuration that I missed?
Please help if you see the problem.
Thanks a lot in advance.

URL parameters for a Database Source in SES

Can anyone provide us a valid url format for creating a Database Source in SES? I have followed the SES Admin documentation, and have tried a variety of options, but am not getting the results I desire.
I have set up a view to my database table using the following syntax:
create or replace view test_tablename2 AS
SELECT 'docserver?docid=' || id URL,
id KEY,
'en' LANG,
POSTDATE LASTMODIFIEDDATE,
DOCUMENT CONTENT,
'text/html' CONTENTTYPE,
SUBJECT TITLE
FROM tablename2;
I also set up the Database Source in SES with the following parameters:
Database Connection String: jdbc:oracle:thin:@IP Address: 1521: MAINDB
URL Prefix: http://<SES computername.domain>: port/
(I can't include the IP address, tablename, or machine names in this forum because they are classified).
So, it crawls fine and gives me the expected number of documents found. And, when I search the source, I get a list of results. But, when I click on the link to the document, I get a 404 Page not found error. The url for the found doc shows as: <SES computername.domain:port/docserver?docid=1866
If I click on the "cached" link, I can see the document just fine and the url displayed is:
http://computername.domain:port/search/query/cache.jsp?id=438567&q=%&fid=
So, obviously, I still don't have the url for the docsever right.
Anyone have any ideas, please?
thanks,
Leah

Hi Leah,
The display URL for a Database Source should point to a separate server that provides web access to the document. It is not meant to point back to the SES instance. As the Admin Guide states:
"This connector requires that there is URL-based access to the records in the result set of the view or query."
In other words, the display URL should be something you can copy/paste into your browser location bar to view the document, with the other server rendering the document information to a user completely independently from SES.
HTH,
Mark

The SYSVAL table entry for the database version (16) does not match the required version

We upgraded from Tidal Enterprise Scheduler (TES) 5.31 to 6.1 on fresh Windows x64 2008 R2 servers. I did a fresh install but our DBA restored a copy of our database from pre-prod which was at 5.31.

As far as i know 6.1 is not compatible with the 5 db schema, so you will need an update / migration plan for the db also.
