Cannot connect to TimesTen using ODBC

Hi,
I have a TT datastore setup on an AIX server. I have a DSN on the AIX server setup in such a fashion that I can connect to the TT datastore and query the TimesTen database.
Now I installed a TT client on my windows XP laptop and I am trying to establish a connection from the ODBC to the AIX TT database.
On the XP client I have setup a dsn as test3 it has the following TTC settings:
TTC_SERVER = aix server name
TTC_SERVER_DSN = CacheData_tt70 (this is the dsn used to connect to tt dadatabase on the AIX server machine)
TTC_TIMEOUT = 60
Now when I try connecting from the Windows XP box I use the following command:
connect "dsn=test3;UID=ttadmin;PWD=ttadmin";
I am getting the following message:
12701: DatabaseCharacterSet attribute required for data store creation. Refer to the TimesTen documentation for information on selecting a character set.
What I don't understand is that I have ALREADY created the datastore on the AIX server. I do not see what the issue is here.
Last thing ......The datastore was created with character set AL32UTF8. The Oracle database that is used in the Cache Connect was created w/ a character set of AL32UTF8.
Any help from anyone would be appreciated.

Hi Susan,

PI 7.11: Cannot connect to server using message server:...

Hello Guys,
we make the Application Management for a Customer PI System.
Scenario:
- the SAP Gui Connection to the ABAP Stack is routed via SAPRouter and Works fine.
SAP Gui -> our SAP Router -> VPN Box from Customer -> Firewall Customer -> ABAP Stack PI System
- WebAccess its working fine, the Customer use Webdispatcher on every PI Server...
Browser -> VPN Box from Customer -> Firewall Customer -> Java Stack (Port: 5xx00 btw. 81xx (Webdispatcher))
Problem:
Our Problem ist, we can not proceed the Integration Builder or the ESB, the Java Web Start works fine and open the Logon Screen Correctly -> but i fill the Logon Screen with my User name and Password and press Logon come the follwing Error:
"Cannot connect to server using message server: ms://<hostname>.<domain>:8134/P4"
In the Details from the Error Message:
"<hostname>.<domain>:53404 Reason: com.sap.engine.services.rmi_p4.P4IOException:
Cannot open connection to host: <IP-Adress of Central Instance> and Port: 53404"
The Customer says, the Firewall is open with the IP Adresses and P4 Port but i dont think so...
Can everybody help me, or have tips for me! I have checked a lot of OSS Messages (PI High Availabilty etc... its all correct on the System)
Sorry for my bad English
Best Regards,
Markus

Hi Markus,
did you check if the browser is using a proxy? (In this case your scenario unfortunately won't work).
P4-port should generally be routed via a proxy (described in the help.sap.com), but within the PI-Tools(JNLP) the proxy-usage is not implemented. There is even a SAP-note that describes how to check the JavaWebStart-Proxyconfiguration, but this won't help either.
If there is a proxy defined in the browser everything is working fine till you pass the logon-screen but even with the correct "javaws"-settings you won't be able to go on.
(This problem is pretty bad if you do have developers and the SAP-servers seperated because of security issues. I'm hoping that this malfunction will be solved with upcoming patches.)
Solution: Establish a connection without any proxy in between.
E.g.: a terminal server in the same network
It would be helpful to find more people with the same problem to force a fix from SAP for that.
If anyone else is having problems with this, please add a comment to this thread.
Best regards
Christian

Cannot connect to server using message server: ms://xiidhasoft:50004/P4

Hi SAP Guru's
When PISUPER or any any of the enduser is trying to login in the Integration Builder , they are getting error
Cannot connect to server using message server: ms://xiidhasoft:50004/P4
I have tryed to search in SDN and got below solution but no success
1. Exchange Profile of PI - http://host:port/exchangeProfile
2. Check with the rmi port number.
3. if rmi port number is empty or any number is present ( check with Tr code: SMICM - services - check for p4 port number - it will be ex: 5<nr>04)
4. fill the rmi port number as present in the P4.
OR
implement note 864268
I have Netweaver PI 7.1 .
Please suggest some alternative solution.
Thanks & Regards
Vinay Patel

You may check your local PC Java Network Setting.
Troubleshooting:
Probably Javau2122 WebStart does not detect the correct Proxy Settings. In this case please proceed as follows:
To change the Proxy Settings for Javau2122 Web Start:
1. Click Start --> Run and enter javaws. Press button OK.
2. Control Panel -> Programs ->Java -> Network Settings...
3. Select Direct Connection to switch off the proxy settings and press button OK.
If this still does not work, select Use proxy server to set manually the HTTP Proxy and Port.
Contact your network administrator for the correct settings.

It sounds like you need updated drivers. They are hard to find for that thing. This is what I found on a cursory search:

You should consider contacting the manufacturer or cell provider that sold you the modem for support.

Connecting to TimesTen using DataSource in WebLogic on Linux

We are trying to use weblogic 9.2 to connect to TimesTen7.0, both are on Linux.
We have installed Oracle 10g client and then installed TimesTen 7.0 Client on the Linux server hosting weblogic.
Created Client DSN in /var/TimesTen/sys.odbc.ini file as follows:
[ODBC Data Sources]
TTclientMaster=TimesTen 7.0 Client Driver
[TTclientMaster]
TTC_SERVER="TTServerHostName"
TTC_SERVER_DSN=TTmaster
When we are trying to create DataSource in weblogic Admin console it does not show up TTClient Driver in the list.
We tried setting up using "Others" for driver and databasetype but then it asks for databasename which we don't have since TT uses DSN.
We are looking for any pointers or references that can explain how to configure weblogic to use TimesTen using TT 7.0 client DSN.

If you have access to a copy of TimesTen 6.0 you can look in the AppServer Configuration Guide (appsrv.pdf) that was shipped with that release. This guide is currently being rewritten and so is not yet available for 7.0.
If you can't get hold of a copy, e-mail me at [email protected] and I'll send it to you.

Cannot connect to database using the Upgrade Simulation Tool

I have installed the Upgrade Simulation Tool on my system and when I try to run the tool my system works in the for awhile in the background and creates the _Simulation mdf and ldf files and a .bck file. After 3 or 4 minutes it gives me an error "Cannot connect to the database".
It looks to me like it is connecting to the database because it is creating the files in the SQL Data folder. I have tried to run it on several databases and get the same results.
Thank you, Jeff

Hi,
You may not have the ability to upgrade it directly.
He does have the ability.
When downloading Pl 42, it is cleary marked as "Upgrader", which means it can be used for upgrade (in this case simulation) from a lower version than 2007A
Patchlevel which are marked as "patch" are suitable only for updating the PL within the very same version of SAP Business One.
This tool should run under 2007 system I believe.
The Upgrade Simulation tool was designed in orderto test an upgrade, therefore it can run at a machine where 2005 version is installed. Technically speaking it creates a second SBO-common, which can be used only with the special designed (read only) client of the tool.
Jeff, you should check access rights of your SQL Data folder.Maybe grant user "Everyone" modifying rights to that folder. In addition you could try to detach a DB and move the related *.mdf and *.ldf to another folder where no access denied rights were applied.
If using MSSQL 2005 create via ODBC a Native Client connection to the Server, although you might just working locally only.

Mario

Cannot connect to Oracle through ODBC.

Please help, I don't know what else to try.
I'm writing automated test scripts and frequently need to access the database to verify data values. These scripts run under multiple environments and have to validate several different flavors of database products. I use ODBC to establish the database connection and this works well under everything except the following environment:
Database Host:
Windows Server 2008, Standard Edition
Oracle 10g
Client:
Windows Server 2008 Standard (64-bit)
Oracle 11g client software installed.
Following recommendations here on the Oracle site, I used the OUI to remove the Oracle ODBC driver that is installed with the client software and installed RDBODBC3320_x64.msi.
I was unable to connect to the database at all using the Oracle 10g client software under this environment, but it is my understanding that Oracle 11g should work. I don't have much choice. The Oracle 10g client refused to install in this environment.
I am able to create a DSN for the database using the ODBC Data Source Administrator. I specify the configuration correctly, but when I try to test the connection, it returns the error:
FAILED: Service Connection test
rc=-1
SQLState=08S01
[Oracle][ODBC][Rdb] Connect Ret -1 Err# 10061
WSAECONNREFUSED Connection refused
I interpret this to mean that I'm reaching the server and database, but it isn't recognizing the connection as being from a legitimate account. Am I wrong?
From this client machine, I am able to connect to and query the database using SQLPlus, so it isn't that the database is unavailable from the test machine.
On the host server, I am able to create an ODBC configuration that tests successfully. That is, of course, the 10g version of the ODBC driver.
I hope someone can supply an answer, this is a high visibility item that is making me look foolish.
Thanks,
Dave P.

Hi Dave,
It's difficult to make decent recommendations without knowing for sure even what kind of database you're connecting to, or what issues you're having exactly. "No success with the 64 bit flavor" doesn't provide much info to go on.
Here's the bullet points that will hopefully get you working, assuming you're connecting to "regular" oracle and that this whole RDB thing was a wild goose chase. If you're actually connecting to an RDB database, skip all the steps below and go post in the RDB forum to get their advice. If you're not sure what the difference is, or what you're connecting to, ask someone who knows.
*1)* Are you ultimately trying to connect with a 32 bit app or a 64 bit app, from the 64 bit 2008 box?
- What kind of "scripts" are you writing? VBSscript you're executing from a DOS prompt? If so, how are you invoking it exactly? Just by typing filename.vbs?
- Are the scripts running with 32bit cscript.exe or 64 bit cscript.exe?
The bottom line is that 32 bit apps need 32 bit client software, and 64 bit apps need 64 bit client software, and you need to have the right stuff installed. The first thing you need to figure out is whether you're running 32 bit app or 64 bit process. Usually you can open Task Manager and look for the process name in the Process tab; if there's a *32 next to it, it's 32 bit. Otherwise it's 64 bit.
*2)* Once you determine what bitness the software you're running is, you then need to download and install that bitness of Oracle client software. You can get 11.2.0.1 here:
32 bit 11.2 client:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/112010-win32soft-098987.html
64 bit 11.2 client:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/112010-win64soft-094461.html
*3)* After downloading the client.zip and extracting it, run setup.exe, take the defaults, chose Custom install type, select ODBC driver and SQLPlus from the list, and the installer will automatically install the Oracle software as well.
Note: You could use Instant Client for this as well; but you'll have to download and install SQLPlus and the ODBC driver in addition to the instant client itself, and using the OUI and the Full client installation is "easier" as it doesn't require manual installation like Instant client does, so less error prone.
*4)* Configure tnsnames.ora for that install so the client knows where you want to connect to, test it using sqlplus from that install location to make sure you have it right.
*5)* If you want to configure a 32 bit dsn, you need to use the 32 bit administrator ( c:\windows\syswow64\odbcad32.exe).
64 bit dsn's you configure via c:\windows\system32\odbcad32.exe (or via control panel > odbc administrator).
*6)* Run your app, hopefully you're dialed.
*7)* Profit.
Hope it helps,
Greg

Cannot connect to database using SQL*Plus

Hi, I have Oracle 10g XE installed in my labtop and I cannot connect using SQL*Plus.
I can connect using the broser User Interface though, which I was able to do after doing the following procedure to change the password of the sys account:
-     open a command prompt
-     - type sqlplus
-     On the “Enter user-name” line, type /as sysdba
-     On the SQL> prompt, type alter user sys identified by NewPassword;
But the thing is that even though I am able to connect using sys/NewPassword from my browser UI, I dont get the same result when doing it using the SQL prompt.
What I am trying to do is this:
SQL> connect sys/NewPassword
Then I get first a warming saying that I need to use either sysdba or sysoper to connect to the system account, but neither of those work.
Can anyone advice me on this matter?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for that.
I run the command to list the usernames on the database and I got SYS and SYSTEM in the list. But again, when I try to use SYS with a password that I know is working because I can access it through the browser UI, it doesnt work. It seems like this sys is different to the sys I used in the UI.
I dont know if I am explaining myself correclty... In the Browser UI I use sys, and a password and I get connected to the sys account. However, if I try to use the same sys.password combination from my sqlplus prompt, I get error messages
Does this make sense at all?

Cannot connect to internet using apple applications

Hi,
I cannot connect to the internet using these apple applications: Safari, Software Update, iTunes.
I can connect to the internet using Firefox and iChat.
I have just reinserted my OSX 10.4 discs and reinstalled the software (making an archive and using my old settings choice). But it still doesn't work.
Why won't apple applications connect to the internet?

I'm having a much smaller problem (just accessing certain sites) which I think may have begun with 10.4.11. I'd agree that you might want to try launching the disk utility and repairing permissions. Then you may want to run Software Update again and see if it finds other updates that may be required. Sometimes after a revision patch application, especially if you don't apply patches soon after their release, there are other applications and stuff which need to be updated after you've run the initial update. It's not a typical thing, but it does happen on occasion.
The only time I've really had a problem with an update was, I believe, 10.4.9... I think I let Software Update do it's job, but wasn't ready to save and quit an open document or two, so just did something I'd done before, without issue... I "force-quit" Software Update. This was not an advisable move, as it turned out. Indeed, I think that time, after staying up all night trying to suss out the problem, was when I found a couple other people who'd had similar issues with the update because it required a second re-start after patch application. In my sleep-deprivation-induced state of temporary insanity I selected a user name which I now find rather embarrassing... I don't remember picking "MacCrackHead", actually... LOL ... but that's another story.
If you have an external drive that you've backed up your system install to, you may be able to boot off of it and see if things work normally (as I did when I moved from 10.4.8 to 10.4.9 and had the issues)... Ultimately I ended up making a second back-up of my external back-up and running the 10.4.9 update offline. It went well, so I cloned my back-up back to my normal start-up. I can't remember now what the issue was then, but it was pretty problematic for me.
My routine, when I see an important update available is now:
1) Don't update when Software Update finds something;
2) Save my work and close all applications.
3) (Recommended): Bring my back-up clone of my start-up drive up-to-date.
4) Run software update.
5) Restart when it tells me to (required for many updates, and all system version updates)
6) Run software update again on re-boot to see if there's anything else that follows... (usually none)
7) Run disk utility and repair permissions.
Good luck resolving your issue, Lisa.

Cannot connect to Internet (using Safari)

Hi all.
I got my Macbook (unibody) for about 7 months ago. I have never had any problems with it, but now suddently Internet has stopped working. I am using only Safari. It just says "cannot connect to Internet" when i try get online. The weird thing is that Internet works to all other computers here at home, but not on mine. I have checked that all the cords are plugged in and all lights are on. I have tried using the internet cords for the other computers on my Mac, but they dont work. The cord i am using is working on other computers too, so there is nothing wrong with it. It is like my Mac doesn´t "recognize" that i have the cord plugged in. When i am on the systems settigns it says that everything is offline, and when i am on the Ethernet settings it does not have any IP adress written or anything, and i have chosen "Use DHCP".
What should i do? I was watching a movie yesterday and had the laptop in my lap, maybe it got overheated or something? Or is it something wrong with the network card? Please help, this is so frustrating!

Problem connecting Dev server using odbc

We are running siebel 8.0.0.5 on solaris 10 on Oracle DB (10.2.0.4). We are planning to upgrade it to siebel 8.1.1.10. I just want you to help me with few parameters and executables as me new in SADMIN . When tried using odbc connection on dev its througing below mentioned errors
To check the ODBC connection:-
Test the connection by navigating to $SIEBEL_HOME/bin and entering the command:-
odbcsql /u database_account_name /p password /s OBDC_DSN
bash-3.00$ pwd
/appl/siebel/siebsrvr/bin
bash-3.00$
bash-3.00$ ./odbcsql /u sadmin /p sadmin123
ld.so.1: odbcsql: fatal: libsslcosa.so: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed
bash-3.00$
bash-3.00$
bash-3.00$ ./odbcsql
ld.so.1: odbcsql: fatal: libsslcosa.so: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed
bash-3.00$
bash-3.00$ odbcsql
bash: odbcsql: command not found

Also verify the access provided to the library files and entries mentioned in the .odbc.ini file in /siebsrvr/sys folder. ODCBSQL depends on the entries in this file.

Cannot connect to receiver using AirPort Extreme due to password protection

I have a new AirPort Extreme and Harman Kardon receiver. I am trying to connect the HK receiver to my home network, after entering in all the necessary info (IP, subnet mask etc) I still cannot connect to internet radio, Pandora etc. I called HK and they say it is because my home network is password protected. They recommend I disable to the password and keep it without a password. Is this the only option I have?

There is no reason to do this if your HK receiver cannot connect using wireless, as appears to be the case here. You must have misunderstood the HK support person, or they misunderstood you when you spoke with them.
The information in the manual only talks about a wired Ethernet connection. There is no information that I can find that would indicate that the HK Receiver will be able to connect to the wireless network using wireless.
Unless you can provide another link that would indicate otherwise, you will need to plan to connect the HK receiver using a wired Ethernet cable, or use a pair of EOP adapters to send the signal over the AC wiring in your home.
It would also be possible to use an AirPort Express to connect to the AirPort Extreme over wireless by locating the AirPort Express near the HK receiver and then in turn connecting a short Ethernet cable from the AirPort Express to the HK receiver.

Cannot connect to web using "Public" wirless connection

When I try to connect to the web using a Public wireless hot spot (like in airports), I get an error message about an invalid certificate, and cannot connect. If I try to bypass it, I get big time Warning!, Danger!, Better not do it! stuff. Same results in several public hot spots. Running Firefox 3.6.6 with XP Pro.
Any explanation/help will be greatly appreciated!

If no light, try connecting to a different port on router or try using a cable that you "know" works.
had a customer have a same problem...turns out his port 1 was shorted.

Iphone 4 internet cannot connect to pc using USB cable

Who know whant happen of this.before i can connect to PC and right now update to IOS 7 and cannot connect to PC while using iphone internet.

Hello there Alex,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your personal hotspot is not working when connected to your computer via USB.
I recommend this article to help troubleshoot what is happening named:
The instructions are different depending on the version of your OS:
iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756
USB troubleshooting
If you are using USB to connect your computer to Personal Hotspot and you are unable to get an Internet connection, check your computer's network settings. You may need to adjust your computer's network settings to disconnect and reconnect the USB Ethernet interface.
Select your operating system for instructions:
Mac OS X
Windows XP
Windows Vista or Windows 7
Cheers,
Sterling
