Can I make an ODBC connection?

I would like to be able to use the wizards in Dreamweaver CS3
that help you create recordsets, etc. I'm using ColdFusion, but I'm
working from somewhere that I cannot get the CF Admin password. So,
when I click on any of the buttons for the wizards, I get stuck at
the "Step 4. Specify the RDS Login information for the ColdFusion
Server" step.
My database is SQL Server, and I'm able to create a local
connection to it (on Windows XP) by going to the Control Panel >
Administrative tools > Data Sources (ODBC). Can I use this as a
work around to use the wizards since I can't connect directly
through the CF Admin? I know the ODBC source I created is set up
correctly, but I don't know how to get to it from the DW wizards.
Thanks,

Hi Bala
1. So you have OBIEE with RCU in Oracle 11g Database. This is good.
2. I have not integrated 8i db for reports. But can share some ideas. Coming to your actual reports which are in Oracle 8i, first you need to configure a DataSource from BI Publisher. You can use either JDBC or JNDI connectoin. For JDBC, you need to specify db host, port, sid, username/password and for the Driver select Oracle 10g. I guess mostly Oracle 10g should support oracle 8i database also. Test connection and see if that passes. In case if it failes. We can try the JNDI Approach. For JNDI, from weblogic admin console, you need to create a DataSource and give all Oracle 8i DB Details and again select Oracle 10g Drivers. Test the connection. Now in Publisher you can create the JNDI connection and give the above datasources jndi name. Advantage of using JNDI approach is you can connect to lots of different databases also like MySQL etc. From BI Publisher I could see only few databases to connect to.
3. Coming to loosing the features, I think mostly you may not loose many features. Because once we connect to 8i database, all you do is map your tables/columns and generate the sql query. You can also have your custom query. So its all the sql stuff that matters and this particular area may not have anything to do with core OBIEE features. May be you cannot use some advance sql query from 11g database for your 8i db.
If you already have OBIEE domain created, before you do anything, first go to weblogic console and create a datasource for 8i database and see if this is successfull. Or try from BI Publisher itself.
Thanks

  • I have two facetime users, both connecting to our enterprise wireless network (Cisco WCS) and they can't make a facetime connection from IPAD to IPAD.  Are there any apple protocols or other settings that need to be enabled on WCS?  No firewall involved.

    I have two facetime users, both connecting to our enterprise wireless network (Cisco WCS) and they can't make a facetime connection from IPAD to IPAD.  Are there any apple protocols or other settings that need to be enabled on WCS?  There is no firewall inbetween the two connections, as this is all on our internal network. 
    Both devices can connect to the network, but when they try to talk to each other they can't make the connection.
    Thanks.

    If anyone ever comes across this and has the same issue, here's what I did to fix it:
    My Linksys router has a Network Mode setting, and I had to change it from "Mixed" to "Wireless-G only".  (I would've used N but one of the NICs in my house is too old to support it.)  Anyway, after making this change, Facetime works fine on the phone.  Hope this helps someone else!

  • Can't Create the ODBC connection for Oracle 10g

    Hi,
         I am working with Oracle 10g Database Release 2 in windows XP professional. I am trying to create an ODBC connection for oracle but become failure because its generating the following errors:
    system error code 998
    could not locate the setup or translator library
    Please help me how can I solve this problem and create the ODBC connection for oracle 10g database.

    could not locate the setup or translator libraryThe symptom described is typical of an incorrect system env PATH setting (used by the data source admin tool), compared to that of the Oracle Home (specifically, path $OH/bin). The odbc driver config routine will search directories listed in PATH variable for necessary libraries (Client dll's). If some library fails to load (from e.g. oraoci*.dll or oraclient10.dll) it will probably error out, as in your case.
    Are you creating the odbc dsn on the databse server host or on some other machine? I.e. are you using the db host as a client or not?

  • How can I make my wifi connection automatic?

    Hi All,
    we have a Timemachine and have a network setup on it. How can I make my connection to that network automatic when I turn on my macbook and eliminate all other close by net works? please email me at: [email protected]
    thnks
    Ken

    i would like to know how to make my wifi connection invisible to others
    This is not really possible, since there are any number of free utilities on the Internet that will reveal a "hidden" network in seconds. Anyone who wants to see your network will be able to do so very quickly and easily.
    iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad often have difficulty connecting to a "hidden" network as well.
    If you still want to do this......
    Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click the Wireless tab at the top of the next page
    Click the Wireless Options button near the bottom of the page
    Enter a check mark in the box next to Create hidden network
    Click Save
    Click Update at the lower right of the window and allow a minute for the Time Capsule to restart

  • Latest version of Firefox can't make a secure connection without disabling firewall, why?

    ''dupe of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/920138''
    After upgrading to latest Firefox, can't made a secure connection. It spins and either times out or says connection refused. Running PC Tools Firewall and when I disable it, secure connections work. Tried one tip of removing Firefox from firewall list and then re-adding it, but it didn't help.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • I can't make a wireless connection.

    Just installed snow leopard and had no real issues with file transfer from tiger, but unable to make a wireless connection with airport.

    the Netgear needs to have WPA2 security, as the iPhone does not do WEP.
    Also be sure IPv6 is enabled, as thjs is what the iPhone defaults too.

  • Can you create an ODBC connection with a VI ?

    One VI came up when I searched example code; however, it had problem with loading a VI (see attached) and seemed limited. I wanted to be able to create an ODBC for connecting a SQL Server database that is hosted on the network.

    Your error message states that your VI has no block diagram, so it could not convert to LV 7. It must have been saved with the option to not include the block diagram.
    To answer your question about ODBC, I believe you need the Database Connectivity Toolset, comes with Enterprise Toolset or Toolkit, to make database connections and SQL queries. It works well and is worth the extra money. Visit NI website to learn more about this toolset.

  • FTP Client can not make a Data connection in Extened Passive Mode

    When i send the command "EPSV" to the FTP server , it reply with the message :
    229 Entering Extened Passive Mode (|||60238|)
    It seems the Server accept Extended Passive Mode.
    But then i send the LIST command to the server , after a few seconds i got an exception :
    java.Net.ConnectException : Connection timed out : connect
    In my Java Program, after sending the "EPSV" command to the server and receiving the port number, my program then initiate a data connection by calling : Socket dataConnection = new Socket(serverHost,serverPort) , serverHost is the host of the FTP server, and serverPort is the port that the server send me.
    I think the problem here is that the initiate of data connection is failed. But i dont know why.
    Can anyone explain for me ? I really appreciate.

    You may be a newbie, but at least your questions are intelligent.
    Abstracting the network part - yes, this can be done, but you should keep in mind that the VI will still be running on the remote target, so you should not use this to plug directly into your RT code. In these cases, a communication module is very good because it decouples the undeterministic comm from the RT code. You can do this either using a protocol, as you mentioned, or by calling the VIs running on the cFP. For example, a VI could be used as a repository by having an uninitialized shift register which maintains its value between runs (this is known as a LV2-style global) - the cFP app will write values into it and the PC app will read values from it.
    To do this, you open a reference to the application running on the cFP and then you call VIs dynamically by name. By using the Call by Reference Node you can call the VI and use its connectory pane. All the primitives you need are in the Application Control palette and you should be able to find some examples in the example finder (Help>>Find Examples) by searching for "dynamic" and other similar terms. Attached is a simpified example.
    To transfer data in a real-time target, I believe your best bet would be RT FIFOs.
    To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here, here, here, here, here and here are a few you can start with and here are some tutorial videos. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
    In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf).
    You should also follow the online communities (this one, the LAVA forums, Info LabVIEW).

    1. Use code tags
    2. Create the connection before you try to use it
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/basics/connecting.html
    Also, put your code in a try catch finally. And close the connection in the finally.
