Can I create a linked server to this ODBC datasource (odbc driver by Progress OpenEdge) on Sql Server 2000 ?

I installed the Progress OpenEdge ODBC driver for 32 bit database on my win7 workstation -- I used odbcad32.exe located at C:\Windows\SysWOW64 to configure the driver for 32 bit applications -- per the screen Shots here and I am able to connect to the datasource
from Excel Query.
I am able to connect to this ODBC datasource from Excel Query and see all the tables -- as in the screen shot. I can also access this datasource from a C# app.
Question: if I can connect to this ODBC datasource from Excel -- does this mean I should be able to create a linked server to it? I tried the following from SSMS Linked Serber Wizard on a Sql Server 2000 (I have used the Linked server wizard
successfully in the past as well as linking with Tsql SPs). This will at least create a mock Linked server on the Sql server 2000 (this does not work on sql server 2008 -- I tried), but when I try to view the catalogs -- I get the error in the screen
shot below. If the answer to my question is "YES" yes I should be able to create a linked server to this ODBC datasource what is the way to do this? I added the UserID and Password in the Security tab, but I did not see where to add the
port (4000). What do I enter for the Product Name? Can it be arbitrary or does it have to be something specific?

Yes, you should be able to set up this as a linked server - from a 32-bit instance of SQL Server. That is, you can't use a 32-bit driver on 64-bit SQL Server. Now, since you have SQL 2000, I assume that this is a 32-bit instance. (But there was a 64-bit
version for Itanium of SQL 2000.)
For the Provider string, I would guess that you should enter something like
Driver={Progress 11.3 OpenEdge Driver}
just like you do in your application code.
Basically, in the provider string, you specify your connection string, except that you take out the provider name, which is a separate parameter to sp_addlinkedserver. Since I know nothing about Progress, I can't give any specific details.
The error message you get is somewhat puzzling, since this refers to SQLOLEDB which is the provider to access an SQL Server instance.

How can I create a link from a CHM file to a webhelp file?
The CHM output (accreditation.chm) is stored in a parent directory, and the webhelp output (index.htm) is stored in a child directory.

Open the usual Link dialog and enter the relative path from where the CHM will be installed to where the webhelp will be installed.

Can I create a link for captions in Adobe Captivae

can I create a link for captions in Adobe
Captivae

Hi HAMADART and welcome to our community
I'm a bit fuzzy on what you are looking for.
If you are asking if you can create a hyperlink from a text
caption that will open a URL or something, the answer is that you
can, but not like you think. You would insert a caption and place
it, then insert a click box object and program it to point to the
URL. Then place the click box object over where you want your user
to click.
If you are asking if you can create a link that forces the
Closed Captioning to display, first off I'd wonder why a link when
clicking the CC button is so easy. But if you are asking if there
is a way to cause Closed Captioning to display without user
intervention, you need to take a look at fellow Adobe Community
Expert Paul Dewhurst's site and use one of his widgets.

Can I create a "new" iTunes library on an external hard drive and transfer my iTune library to save space on my laptop

Can I create a "new" iTunes library on an external hard drive and transfer my iTune library to save space on my laptop hard drive

Yes. Just copy all your music to a folder on your external. Then delete the music on your computers hard drive.
It is not quite that simple. If you do that you will end up with many broken links and will have to re-create your library from scratch . iTunes does not like it when you move or rename files or folders and doing so between drives is guaranteed to result in exclamation marks indicating you have broken the links to all your media files.
If you are content with moving the whole library to an external drive (usually the best thing for most people), try:
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Drivers 4.0.2206 timeout on first connection to SQL Server Express after it sleeps

Our builds kick off and run integration tests. They are configured to hit a SQL Server Express server.
If the builds have been quiet for a while, the first test to connect fails after stalling for 20 minutes.
Subsequent tests are fine.
Reversing test order does the same thing, with a different test.
We noticed in the SQL Server express log the server saying it is waking up after being idle.
Microsoft SQL Server Express with Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Drivers 4.0.2206.
Connection times out after 20 minutes.Occurs with the first connection made after the SQL Server Express server wakes up from going to sleep.Connections after the first are just fine, until SQL Server Express sleeps.SSL enabled. Timeout duration for the connection failure is unaffected by setting timeout options for the connection. Work around:
cron-like job that runs every minute that makes a simple query on the server keeps the server from going to sleep.
Has anyone else run into this?

Hello,
SQL Server Express will go to sleep if idle, this behavior is not configurable.
When SQL Express transitions from idle to active some of the memory that was released needs to be reclaimed; this results is a slight lag during "startup time" when you're first connecting to SQL Express.
The other sort of sleep occurs when a database with AUTO_CLOSE unloading itself after a period of inactivity. This can be resolved by setting AUTO_CLOSE to false.
You can refer to the following blog about more details about this:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlexpress/archive/2008/02/22/sql-express-behaviors-idle-time-resources-usage-auto-close-and-user-instances.aspx
You can try to upgrade the SQL Server Express to a non-free version to get rid of this.

So when you tried starting SQL server service it gave the error right ? or when you click on SQL server services in SQL server configuration manager(SSCM) you get this error. Can you be more clear. As far as I read your question it has something
to do with permission. Close SSCM window and this time right click on SQL server configuration manager and select run as administrator and check if you can see SQL server services

OWB 10g -- Can't Create Database Links for Data Source and Target

We installed OWB 10g server components on a Unix box running Oracle 10g (R2) database. The Designer Repository is in one instance. The Runtime Repository and the Target are in another instance. The OWB client component was installed on Windows XP. We create a data source module and a target module in OWB. The data source is on another Unix box running Oracle 9i (R2) database. We try to create database links for data source module and target module, respective. But when we created and tested the DB links, the DB links were failed.
For the database link of data source, we got the following error message:
Testing...
Failed.
SQL Exception
Repository Error:SQL Exception..
Class Name: CacheMediator.
Method Name: getDDEntryFromDB.
Repository Error Message: ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred
For the database link of target , we got the following error message:
Testing...
Failed.
API2215: Cannot create database link. Please contact Oracle Support with the stack trace and the details on how to reproduce it.
Repository Error:SQL Exception..
Class Name: oracle.wh.ui.integrator.common.RepositoryUtils.
Method Name: createDBLink(String, String, String, String).
Method Name: -1.
Repository Error Message: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended.
However, we could connect to the two databases (data source and target) using the OWBs utility SQL Plus.
Please help us to solve this problem. Thank you.

As I said prior the database link creation should work from within the OWB client (also in 10).
Regarding your issue when deploying, have you registered your target locations in the deployment manager and did you first deployed your target location's connector which points out to your source?
I myself had some problems with database link creations in the past and I can't remember exactly what they were but it had something to do with
- the use of abnormal characters in the database link name
- long domain name used in as names.default_domain in my sqlnet.ora file
What you can do is check the actual script created when deploying the database link so see if there's something strange and check if executing the created script manually works or not.

Can't create symbolic link on a cifs mount (on a linux VM 14.10 Ubuntu)

I created a file share on an azure storage and mounted the share on a VM using:
# mount –t cifs //ACCOUNT_NAME.file.core.windows.net/SHARE/mnt/DIRECTORY
-o vers=2.1,username=ACCOUNT_NAME,password=ACCESS_KEY,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777
Everything works fine except I can't create symlinks inside the share! I get the following error:
"Operation not supported"
cifs should support symlinks....I am using a VM with Ubuntu 14.10.Been researching this for 2 hours and no solution as of yet! All suggestions appreciated!

Thanks Malar,
In my opinion, there is something wrong in the smb.conf file of the server. In order to support symbolic links, unix extensions must be disabled there. Also the sfu option needs to be enabled. I tried everything possible on the client (VM) end. The issue
is clearly from the server
Best,

How can I create a link that allows users to convert a Wiki pages into PDF format.

I am working on an enterprise Wiki library site collection, but I want to create a link named “Convert to PDF” , which allow users to convert the current Wiki into a pdf file. I need this link to be displayed some where in all the exsiting Wikis pages, and
on any new wiki page. Can anyone advice if there is already such as capability within sharePoint 2013.
Thanks

Hi,
For your requirement, we can add this link to the master page, then it will appear in the pages which apply this master page.
To convert the current page to PDF, you can take consideration of using jsPDF.

Can't create multiple links on same page

This is odd...when editing a page in Contribute, I can create
a link (of any type), but when I go to create another link, I get
the error "You are not allowed to perform that action....". (We are
in Contribute 3.11 and using DW templates with very simple editable
regions.) However, if I publish the page then go back into Edit
mode, I can create the second link! But then the same error occurs
if I try (right away) to create a third link.
This is frustrating and I can't imagine I have to publish the
stupid page after every link. Anyone have any ideas as to why this
might by happening? Thanks in advance!

Can't create database link when password has special character

I'm trying to execute the following statement within sqlplus
create database link alpha connect to scott identified by tiger! using 'db_alpha'
note that the password for the account has an exclamation point in it. the command fails. I've tried placing the password in quotes (') and double-quotes ("). The double-quotes work, but then the link fails to function properly.
We are required to have a special character in our passwords... so how do I get that special character into the password for the database link?
Thanks in advance,
Darren

for some weird reason, I can't post the reply I want. every time I try, the forum hangs and doesn't save the message. give me a sec...
I have put the password within double quotes... so I'm starting to think the problem is something else. I've been reading other posts regarding creating database links and I've obtained limited results. Here's what I've done, and the results I'm getting.
(names changed to protect the innocent)
My oracle database is on SYSA. I'm on SYSB. I set my TWO_TASK=SYSA and just use sqlplus to connect as user1.
I want to run a command on user2's tables. Normally I would just grant read access to user1 on user2's tables and use a command like
nert spaces to get this to save (weird forum bug here, I can't delete the text to the left)
SQL> sel{color:black}{color}ect * fr{color:black}{color}om u{color:black}{color}s{color:black}{color}e{color:black}{color}r{color:black}{color}2{color:black}{color}.{color:black}{color}m{color:black}{color}y{color:black}{color}_{color:black}{color}t{color:black}{color}a{color:black}{color}b{color:black}{color}l{color:black}{color}e{color:black}{color};
However, user2 is for test data and those tables get dropped and recreated often and it is cumbersome to try to remind everyone to recreate the grants. So I can't trust that user1 will have access to user2's tables. So my goal with the database link is to create a private (for user1 only) database link and access the tables that way, that way I bypass the grant issue. This works out better for me because we only change that password every 2 months. I just recreate the database link once every two months, rather than recreate grants multiple times every week. Well, that's the theory anyway.
Back to creating the database link, I thought my issue was the special character in the password because if I remove the exclamation point everyting works (except that the password is invalid). Below is what it looks like when I do this...
Attempt #1:
SQL> create database link BLAH connect to user2 identified by "tiger" using 'BLAH';
Database link created
SQL> sel{color:black}{color}ect * fr{color:black}{color}om my{color:black}{color}_{color:black}{color}table{color:black}{color}@{color:black}{color}BLAH;
sel{color:black}{color}ect * fr{color:black}{color}om my{color:black}{color}_{color:black}{color}ta{color:black}{color}ble{color:black}{color}@{color:black}{color}BLAH
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
ORA-02063: preceding line from BLAH
So that looks like it's just a password issue. If I put in the correct password... the error changes to this...
Attempt #2:
SQL> create database link BLAH connect to user2 identified by "tiger!" using 'BLAH';
Database link created
SQL> sel{color:black}{color}ect {color:black}{color}* fr{color:black}{color}om my{color:black}{color}_{color:black}{color}table{color:black}{color}@BLAH;
sel{color:black}{color}ect * fr{color:black}{color}om my{color:black}{color}_ta{color:black}{color}ble{color:black}{color}@BLAH
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02085: database link BLAH.AAA.BB.CCC.DDD connects to
DEVDB.AAA.BB.CCC.DDD
To me, that doesn't make sense. If the link isn't working... how did it get the "invalid username/password" in Attempt #1?
Anyway, in perusing other forum posts, one post said to put in the full text from the tnsnames.ora file instead of the alias. So I do a little cut/paste and try this...
Attempt #3:
SQL> create database link BLAH connect to user2 identified by "tiger!" using
2 '(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = server001.aaa.bb.ccc.ddd)(PORT = 9999)))
3 (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = devdb)))';
Database link created.
SQL> sel{color:black}{color}ect {color:black}{color}* fro{color:black}{color}m my{color:black}{color}_{color:black}{color}tab{color:black}{color}le{color:black}{color}@BLAH;
sel{color:black}{color}ect {color:black}{color}* fr{color:black}{color}om {color:black}{color}my_{color:black}{color}tab{color:black}{color}le@B{color:black}{color}LAH
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02085: database link BLAH.AAA.BB.CCC.DDD connects to
DEVDB.AAA.BB.CCC.DDD
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Darren

How can I create a link to a pdf file and show it in the same webpage or in a new tab

It is no problem to create a link. But the formats are limited and - unbelievable - the pdf format is not supported??!
Where are the parameter (_blank or _self) to show it for example in the same webpage or in a new tab??!

PDF is media. It is not a web document. Your end users must have plug-ins and helper apps installed on their device to see PDFs in browsers. Depending on their settings, the PDF file may or may not launch in the browser window. On my system, PDF files download and launch inside Acrobat Professional; not my browser.
The safest approach is to provide a screenshot on your page with a direct link to the PDF file so people can handle it as they wish. See example: http://www.adobe.com/manufacturing/3dpdfsamples/3dsolutions/
