Cannot connect to JDBC data source

We are trying to configure Visual Composer to connect to the backend BI-ABAP
BI database which is DB2, from the Visual Admin on the windows box.
Downloaded the driver for DB2 JDBC from IBM website
(ibm_data_server_driver_package_win64_ALL_LANG_v97.exe) Not sure if this is the correct driver, because we are unable to connect to the BI
Landscape information
BI- ABAP: NW 701 SP4 AIX 6100-3/DB2 v9.5.0.4,FIXPACK 4
BI-JAVA: NW 701 SP4 WIN2003 X64/SQL2005 SP3
When i run this url http://servername:port/TestJDBC_Web/test2 i i get the following error

Exception Message: The form cannot connect to the data source. Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'

When opening a form in SharePoint 12013 that was created from Infopath 2013, I get the following error.
You do not have permissions to access a database that contains data required for this form to function correctly.
An entry has been added to the Windows event log of the server.
Log ID:5566
When I go to the log files on the SharePoint server. I see the following error.
Exception Message: The form cannot connect to the data source. Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'
I am guessing this has something to do with the UDCX connection and the database.
Can anyone help me get this fixed?

Hi Jim,
Please check the following kb article when it occurs 5566errro with the UDCX conection file, try the method of using the Secure Store Service to store alternate credentials for the data connection method, or the method of stating the credentials
in the UDC file explicitly.
Also check if it could help with setting sql server as "SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode".

Cannot connect to the OLAP source - when Scheduling WebI Report

Hi,
I am confused by seeing the above mentioned error on random days....
Scenario - WebI report scheduled daily:
Some days the report works fine and other days it is not processing correctly but gives me this error message "Cannot connect to the OLAP source".
Our connection is via BICS and it is SSO. Data Source is BW and we use BEX.
Person who scheduled report has admin rights, our version is 4.0 SP7 P5.
Please advise if anyone has faced this issue and if there is a solution, did try the community but only found that the key store was a problem but that was previous versions.
Any help or input is much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Sarat.

Hi Sarat,
This problem can occur for multiple different reasons, so it's hard to give an advice for such symptom. Could you look at trace files from SemanticLayer component (it is hosted in APS with DSLBridge service), you should find clearer errors which can then be analyzed. There is no need to activate logs if it is still at level 'Unspecified', errors have level high enough to be output by default.

Creation of connection pools and data sources

Hi,
is there a possibility to create jdbc connection pools and data sources not manually, with a script or a mbean?
That would be helpfull, because at the moment every developper has to do that for himself (because of the individuals generated passwords).
Thanxs

The weblogic.management.configuration.JDBCDataSourceMBean
defines a non-transactional JDBC data source.

Standalone application can't get JDBC data source from Weblogic 10.3

We have the following configuration :
A Weblogic server 10.3 (default installation).
The server contains a JMS queue (jndi name: "DMQ") and JDBC data sources (jndi names: Oracle thin XA - "dataSource", MS SQL - "dataSource1")
We have built wlfullclient5.jar for Java 1.5 ([http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs103/client/jarbuilder.html#wp1078122]) (according to the docs)
And now we use a test standalone application with the wlfullclient5.jar :
public static void main (String[] args) throws NamingException {
bq. Hashtable<String, String> env = new Hashtable<String, String>(); \\ env.put(Context.+INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY+, "weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory"); \\ env.put(Context.+PROVIDER_URL+, "http://serv1:7001"); \\ env.put(Context.+SECURITY_CREDENTIALS+, "weblogic"); \\ env.put(Context.+SECURITY_PRINCIPAL+, "weblogic"); \\ InitialContext ic = new InitialContext(env); \\ \\ System.+out+.println("Get DMQ"); \\ ic.lookup("DMQ"); \\ System.+out+.println("Get dataSource"); \\ ic.lookup("dataSource");
bq. System.+out+.println("Get dataSource1"); \\ ic.lookup("dataSource1"); \\ System.+out+.println("Done"); \\
Here is the output when connected to WLS 10.3:

But at the same time the output when connected to WLS 10.0 is :
Get DMQ \\Get dataSource \\Get dataSource1 \\Done
(so that the test passed)
Could you give me a piece of advice ?
Thanks,
Sergey

I hit the same problem as yours. This issue is caused by JDK version. The JDK used by Weblogic 10.3 is java 6, while your client program's jdk version is java5. So change the both of them to java 6. This issue will be fixed.
Don't forget to rebuild the wlfullclient.jar which also should be java 6.
Good luck!

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

Using JDBC Data Sources with ADFBC, NoInitialContextException

Using JDBC Data Sources with ADF Business Components, NoInitialContextException
I follow the instruction in the link below to create an ADF Swing application using datasource. I am using JDeveloper version 10.1.3.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/howtos/10g/usingdatasources/using_datasources.html
The ADF generated code looks like this:
JUMetaObjectManager.setErrorHandler(new JUErrorHandlerDlg());
JUMetaObjectManager mgr = JUMetaObjectManager.getJUMom();
mgr.setJClientDefFactory(null);

ctx.put(DataControlFactory.APP_PARAM_ENV_INFO, new JUEnvInfoProvider());
ctx.setLocaleContext(new DefLocaleContext(null));
HashMap map = new HashMap(4);
map.put(DataControlFactory.APP_PARAMS_BINDING_CONTEXT, ctx);
mgr.loadCpx("datasource.view.DataBindings.cpx" , map);
final FormMain frame = new FormMain();
frame.setBindingContext(ctx);
I got this error when executing the last line: frame.setBindingContext(ctx);

If I configure the application module connection type as JDBC URL, everything works.

Can someone show me how to adjust the generated code by ADF to use datasource?

ADF BC has a bug. With Data Source in Application Module, application module does not connect. Use JDBC Connection URL.

Setting up JDBC Data Source for JCA Database Adapter in WLS - only SID?

Following the documentation for setting up a connection for use with the JCA Database Adapter (http://otnbeta.oracle.com/fmw11g/582tj30eapvb/integration.1111/e10231/life_cycle.htm), section 2.4.1, Step 8 simply says "Enter the connection properties in the Connection Properties page, and then click Next"
In the "Create a New JDBC Data Source" screen of the WLS Administration Console there is the entry field vaguely labeled as "Database Name:" Of course I entered the Oracle RDBMS service name (which we should ALWAYS be using), only to be informed upon clicking next, that WLS was expecting the SID.
Two things:
1. At least through this maintenance console, it appears that BEA did not understand the whole concept or value of Oracle RDBMS logical service names versus the SID (I have seen this in several products that Oracle has acquired). Best practice would be to use the Oracle RDBMS service name, which doesn't appear to be an option in this console.
2. The OFM documentation should be more helpful in explaining.

Compare to the analogous setup in OAS 10.1.3.4/EM... far better clarity in the maintenance console and option of either SID or service name.

WLS 10.3.4: How to use OS authentication for JDBC Data Source

Hello all,
As a preface, I've tried searching the forum/Google for "OS authentication" and reading the WLS JDBC doc to no avail - if it's documented somewhere, a RTFM link would be much appreciated.
I'm trying to set up a JDBC data source on WLS that leverages the OS Authentication capability of the Oracle database. If it would help, I can go into the reasoning behind why I want to do this, but basically, it's to simplify the config/deployment of a COTS application. What I have in the database is an "identified externally" user that corresponds to the OS user that is running the WebLogic Server. Normally, in tools such as SQL*Plus, I would use "/@db" as the username/password (in other words, no username and no password specified), and I would be logged in as the "idenfitied externally" user. I want to configure the same thing for a WebLogic Data Source, but if I leave the username/password blank, testing the connection in the WLS console gives me "invalid username/password, login denied" I've also tried using "/" as the username, as was documented in a quite old WLS faq, but that gives me the same result.
Is there some magic switch I need to flip?
Thanks,
John

Hi John, there's no way to do that with connection pools, which is how WLS datasources get their
connections, or middleware in general. WebLogic would have no way of knowing which if any of the
pooled connections was appropriate for the current 'user', which is not the application user, but
instead is the OS identity of the person who started the WebLogic server! If you start up your
WebLogic server, and people start pointing their browsers to it, doing various stuff, the OS knows
you started WebLogic, and maybe with the help of OCI, Oracle's JDBC might know it was you who
started WebLogic's OS process, but what does the OS know about any user that may be running
a browser or application elsewhere (even if on this same machine), when that browser or application
connects to your WebLogic server process?
HTH,
Joe

JDBC Data Sources: Potential Issue with JDeveloper 10.1.3.4

I think I found a bug or issue with the latest JDeveloper 10.1.3.4 release when using JDBC Data Sources on the Embedded OC4J container.
To state the issule bluntly, If I use a JDBC Data Source in an ADF Faces application, I get the following error on the screen when I run my application if I create a simple page using a Form layout for database data:
[http://cs.uwindsor.ca/~ruston7/jdbcError.jpg]
Or if I use a simple drag and drop ADF Faces Table:

I also tried this on a different computer using a fresh install of JDeveloper just to make sure that the copy of JDeveloper that I downloaded didn't have a fluke in it.
Thanks!

M. Ruston,
It must be something on your side. i just tried the same thing using the employees table from the HR sample schema (it has a date column). It works with JDBC URL and datasource both.
Just out of curiosity - if you look at the properties for your Business Components project at the business components section, what does it show for the SQL Flavor and Type Map?

Cannot connect to Business Data Connectivity Metadata Store

I am trying to connect to an external data source (web service) that is hosted on another server through SharePoint designer.
I go to the external content type section->new content type-> External system "click here to discover external data sources and define operations"
Add connection->data source type ="wcf service"
enter url in the "service metadata url" and "service endpoint url"
Try to connect. While trying to connect, it gives me this error
"Cannot connect to Business Data Connectivity Metadata Store"
error details: "The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error. For more information about the error, either turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults(either from ServiceBehaviorAttribute or from the <serviceDebug> configuration
behavior) on the service in order to send the exception information back to the client, or turn on tracing as per the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 SDK documentation and inspect the server trace logs."
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello.
This solution with New-SPTrustedRootAuthority helped me in the following situation (which is like the one in the topic):
I have a WCF service hosted on the SharePoint web site with dynamic binding. SharePoint web site is configured with host header (DNS alias) and SSL. Kerberous is enabled (this config does not work with NTLM only). I use Secure Store Service identity (Windows
type) when configuring BSC connection to the service. When I try to connect to this WCF service from SharePoint Designer to create an external content type, I get this errror: "Cannot connect to Business Data Connectivity Metadata Store".
These two steps resolved the issue:
1) Add SSL certificate of the web site where WCF service is hosted to the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" of "Certificates (Local Computer)"
2) Run the following command in SharePoint PowerShell console:
foreach ($cert in (Get-ChildItem cert:\LocalMachine\Root)) { if (!$cert.HasPrivateKey) {New-SPTrustedRootAuthority -Name $cert.Thumbprint -Certificate $cert } }

Copy the JDBC data sources to another weblogic domain?!

we have a weblogic domain that has around 20 JDBC data sources
is there an easy way to copy the JDBC data sources to another weblogic domain?!

You can make a WLST script that creates the datasource(s) and target it to whatever servers/clusters you like,
but as implemented, for security reasons, certain aspects of the datasources themselves are encrypted to
operate only in their originating environment, so for instance, you cannot inadvertently email access to the
company's DBMS to your new friend in Nigeria.

Difference between DataSource & JDBC Data Source Factory

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what the difference between a 'DataSource' and 'JDBC Data Source
Factory' is ? I see both these on the Weblogic admin console. I have reviewed
the documentation but it is not clear to me what the difference between the two
is and what situations each on is appropriate for.
Thanks,
Raju

Hi Sree,
I have read literally ALL the online documents related to JDBC Data Source Factories
including the one you provided below, but I still do not understand what they
are for. I have also searched in Google but to no avail.
I will try to be more specific as to where my confusion lies.
1)Why would anyone ever choose a JDBCData Source Factory instead of a Tx Data
Source or plain vanilla (not XA) Data Source? EJBs connect just fine with the
latter 2.
2)What should go inside the properties box?
a) http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs70/ejb/EJB_environment.html#resourcefact states
that connection properties should go in here
b)Then, the document goes on to describe a syntax for binding a Connection Pool
to a JNDI name, all in the properties box. I have never been able to successfully
create a data resource factory with a JNDI name. I get no errors, but it appears
no where in the JNDI tree
c)If this mysterious syntax associates a resource factory with an existing Connection
Pool, then why go through all the fuss of redefining the Driver Class Name, URL,
etc., when those are already defined on the Connection Pool?
When you setup either a Data Source or a TX Data Source, WebLogic does not require
that information since it was all setup in the pool. Why is it needed here?
Thanks in advance for you help.

Lync monitoring Details reports are not getting opened, Getting SQL error like "Cannot impersonate user for data source 'CDRDB"

Hi,
Two month before, We have deployed Lync 13 set up with lync monitoring and archiving service enabled. After configuring we have the Lync monitoring and archiving services are working fine... few weeks back I have changed the Admin Password
of the Lync Setup. After that Lync Monitoring and Archiving services are not working.
when I try open Lync monitoring service from web UI,
http://localhost/ReportServer_LyncMonitoring/
Web UI is opening but Reports home page is not Accessible , Getting error Like
"An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Cannot impersonate user for data source 'CDRDB'. (rsErrorImpersonatingUser)
Log on failed. Ensure the user name and password are correct. (rsLogonFailed)
The user name or password is incorrect"
Please help me to trouble shoot this problem.
Thanks,
Rajarajan.D

Hi Rajarajan.D
You probably need to update the password against the CDRDB datasource in SSRS Report manager, take a look at this article: http://lyncme.co.uk/microsoft-lync-server-2013/cannot-impersonate-user-for-data-source-cdrdb-rserrorimpersonatinguser-error/
