Cannot create SQL Server 2005 DSN in CF Administrator

I have just started using SQL Server 2005 on a laptop running
Windows Vista. When I try to create a new DSN in CF administrator,
I keep getting the following error message:
Connection verification failed for data source: sps
java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC
Driver]Error establishing socket to host and port
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException:
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket to
host and port
I have no problem creating the database or adding tables to
the database, but I just cannot create the DSN. Has anyone run into
this before and how can I fix it???? I've never seen this message
before in SQL Server 2000, which is running just fine on my PC with
Windows XP.
HELP!!!

See if this helps:

Creating Sql Server 2005 External Data Source

Hey guys, I'm trying to connect to an SQL Server 2005 database directly from the BAM external Data Source.
I have the driver name and the connection string, login and password. I also have the driver, but BAM doesn't seem to have a "drivers" folder. So when I try to connect, I get:
BAM-00008: Invalid Oracle driver name
Source: "java.lang.ClasssNotFoundException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver" ID: "InvalidOracleDriverName"
Has anyone done this before? Am I only allowed to connect to an Oracle Database from BAM? Thanx!

Hi,
I use BAM with SQL Server External Data Source and works fine.
In the Architect set this parameters on conection with SQL Server (EXTERNAL DATA SOURCE):
Driver: SQL Server
Connection string / URL: SERVER=<host>;DATABASE=<name_db>;
<host> = ip or name of the server
<name_db> = name of the database on the SQL Server
I use BAM 10.1.3.3.0 with SQL Server 2005

PeopleTools 8.49 PeopleSoft Database Cannot Connect with MS SQL Server 2005

Folks,
Hello. I am working on PeopleSoft PIA. My system is Windows Server 2003, MS SQL Server Express 2005 Standard, PeopleTools 8.49. I am setting up PeopleSoft Database \PsMpDbInstall\setup.exe and got the errors as follows:
Error: Setup fails to connect to SQL Server. The default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connection.
Then I type in "sqlcmd" in Command Prompt and got the same error as follows:
Name Pipe Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server. MS SQL Native Client: the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connection.
In order to fix SQL Server 2005 remote connection problem, I have done the 3 steps as follows:
Step 1: In SQL Server Surface Area Connection, enable local and remote connection, TCP/IP and Name Pipes, SQL Server browser Startup type "automatic" and status "running".
Step 2: Create exception for SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server browser Service in Windows Firewall.
Step 3: Add the default SQL Server Port 1433 into Windows Firewall.
But the above 3 steps cannot resolve SQL Server Express 2005 remote connection problem. Can any folks help to resolve this problem ?
Thanks.

Folks,
Management Studio can connect with SQL Server 2005 successfully.
I have turned off Windows Server 2003 firewall completely. But "sqlcmd" in Command Prompt still connect with SQL Server 2005 because its remote connection is not allowed.
Is the "not allow remote connection" problem caused by Windows Firewall or SQL Server 2005 itself ?
Thanks.

Cannot connect to Oracle 11gR2 database from SQL Server 2005

Both SQL Server (Windows) and Oracle (Linux) are in 64bit environments.
I have done the following on a Windows 2008 R2 with SQL Server 2005:
Install InstantClient from Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Client (11.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (x64) to C:\Oracle
Install oledb from 64-bit ODAC 11.2 Release 3 (11.2.0.2.1) for Windows x64 by executing install.bat oledb c:\oracle odac
Note: Not sure whether 11.2.0.2.1 version of ODAC will cause any problem since I cannot find 11.2.0.1.0 version.
I have checked the Allow inprocess of OraOLEDB.Oracle provider in SSMS.
I have executed sp_addlinkedserver @server = 'ORACLE_TEST', @srvproduct = 'Oracle', @provider = 'OraOLEDB.Oracle', @datasrc = '##.##.##.##:1521/TEST'
The ##.##.##.## is the ip address of the Linux server which has the Oracle 11gR2 database TEST.
I have executed sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname = 'ORACLE_TEST', @useself = 'FALSE', @rmtuser = 'xxxx', @rmtpassword = 'yyyy'
The xxxx is the oracle username and yyyy is the password for the oracle user xxxx.
I know the oracle database TEST is up since I have setup connection in Oracle SQL Developer having:
##.##.##.## as the hostname
1521 as the Port
xxxx as the username
yyyy as the password
TEST as the service name
When I click Test Connection for the linked server ORACLE_TEST in SSMS, it just hang.
When I issue a query like select count(*) from oracle_test..xxxx.table1, it just run forever. I'm not so sure how to query an oracle table. I have also tried select count(*) from oracle_test.xxxx.xxxx.table1.
When I retype the password in the Linked Server Properties, it just run forever.
Do I need to create a tnsnames.ora on the Windows machine?
Do I need to change the tnsnames.ora on Linux machine?
I'm very new to Oracle.

This forum is dealing with connections from an Oracle database to SQL Server - so the Oracle database is the driving site and this is the way round from your linked server set up.
As you're suing the instant client you might post your issue in the instant client forum:

Creating and Using View Objects on JDev 10g against SQL Server 2005

I'm currently working on this project on Jdeveloper against a SQL Server 2005 DB (I couldn't talk this people to migrate to Oracle... :-( ), and it's the first time I work with JDev against a database other than 10g.
I had no problem making the connection, and I can see the DB in Conections->Databases, but when I create an app. module, and create entities and views and add them to the app. module to access them through the Data Controls, these don't work. I can see the view on the Data Controls, and when I drag them to my jspx page it shows the menu that let's me choose whether I want to create a table, or a selection, or a tree, but once I choose one, it does nothing.
I've search all over the internet and haven't found a solution, so I come to this forum desperate for help, seriously.
Please get in touch; if anyone knows another solution that doesn't involve not using JDev or SQL Server 2005, please let me know, because I basically need to have a few selectonechoice showing some data from a few tables.
Thanks for reading this post, and hope to get help.
Carlos.

Hi,
can you run the model in the ADF BC tester ? If this is possible the SQL Server doesn't seem to be the problem. Are you on JDeveloper 10.1.3.3? If not, just get this latest build

Error when creating a FDM application on SQL Server 2005

Hi,
we are getting this error when creating a FDM application on SQL Server 2005
Error: EPMCSS-07003: Failed to validate identity. Invalid identity . Check identity.[SET_ROLES_LIST]
We are using Windows System Integration although we have also tested with sa user.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Based on the error message it appears to be having a Shared Services issue. Verify that the "ADMIN" account is being used for the HSS connection and that you are using "ADMIN" to create the application and see if the same error is returned.

Creating MS SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services OLAP connection

Hello,
I am trying to add an OLAP data source in BI Publisher (which is part of the OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 suite I have installed). However, the connection never seems to create - I don't get an error or a success message when I test the connection. However, if I cancel out of the create connection screen, I get this error: "Your request was denied as you have no permission to access the data.". This is odd since the credentials I am using have admin rights to the OLAP cube I am attempting to connect to.
SETUP
OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 x86_64 bit Linux
MS SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services running on Windows Server Enterprise (32 bit) 2007 SP2
Windows users are able to connect to the Windows/SQL server via Excel 2007 and its built-in Analysis Services "Other Data Sources" option. Authentication is done via Windows Active Directory LDAP
QUESTIONS
1) In the BI Publisher connection screen, can I enter my AD username/password, or because I am connecting from a Linux Server, do I need to authenticate via a different method?
2) In the connection string, the initial catalog I am attempting to connect to has spaces in its name. Could this be an issue?
3) Given the "no permission to access data" message I am getting, is it possible I am reaching the SQL Server but need to set up a local database, non-AD account to access the OLAP catalog?
4) Are there any logs in the OBIEE server that I can check for more details?
Thanks!

With the new productivity pack for Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 (Service Pack 2) you can access SSAS 2005 through the new OLAP tool called Voyager. The productivity pack is due out sometime in the next few weeks.
Hope this helps.

Cannot set up data source for SQL Server 2005

Is it possible to use Microsoft's Beta 2 version of the SQL Server 2005 JDBC driver with WebLogic 9.0? I've downloaded the driver and added it to my server classpath, but when I try to create a new data source using the admin console, the drop-down list for Microsoft SQL Server only contains drivers for the 2000 version. If I select "Other" from the list and try to move on, I get a cryptic, page-long error on the admin console. If I just select the 2000 driver and try to manually modify the parameters on the next set of screens, I still get errors when I try to test the configuration. I've successfully used a third-party driver before, but this one does not seem to be working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sabrina

on the next set of screens, I still get errors when I try to test the configuration. I've successfully used a third-party driver before, but this one does not seem to be working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
SabrinaHere I describe the steps I took to bypass the console in making a new pool.
1 - Edit the script %DOMAIN_HOME%\bin\startWebLogic.cmd to add a line like this:
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;\new_ms_driver\beta2\sqljdbc_1.0\enu\sqljdbc.jar
In other words, you have to explicitly add a third party driver's classes to
the CLASSPATH that will be in effect for the server. Just adding the driver
to your window's class path will do nothing.
2 - Go to the directory %DOMAIN_HOME%\config\jdbc, where you will find
files of the name *-jdbc.xml. Each of these represents a DataSource.
Copy one of them, perhaps either examples-demo-jdbc.xml, or
examples-demoXA-jdbc.xml depending on whether you want to make an XA
or non-XA pool. Make you new file's name like the name of the DataSource,
still ending in -jdbc.xml. Eg: MS_Beta-jdbc.xml
3 - Edit this file to change as much as would be clear for the
driver you want. Eg: change the driver class to the class you want,
the user name, URL, test table etc. Also, change the pool's initial
capacity to 0. This is so the pool can be created without making a
connection. We need that because the password is encrypted, and
there is no manual way for you to add the correct one yet.
4 - go one directory up, and edit the config.xml. Find a
jdbc-system-resource entry corresponding to the original
resource file you copied. Make a new entry in the config file,
like the original, but change the Datasource name to your new one.
5 - If this all went well, reboot your server and go to your data
source in the console, and edit it. Alter the password to what it
really should be, and you can also change whatever else you might
want.
6 - shut down again, and reboot, and you should then be able to go to
your data source in the console and test a connection.
That's it. Here is an example of a jdbc.xml file I made, and
the entry I made in the config.xml:
config/jdbc/newpool-jdbc.xml:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

Creating multiple graphs dashboard in Crystal XI using a single View from MS SQL Server 2005

How to create multiple graphs dashboard in Crystal XI using a single View from MS SQL Server 2005?
I need to use Crystal XI and create a dashboard which shows some sales data and stuff, multiple graphs on a single screen.
My tech team says they can display one graph per page but not 4 graphs on the same page as it uses a common view from SQL Server 2005.
How to manage this? Can we call in multiple views / graphs in the same page? Say 4 graphs on the same page?
We use ASP or .NET for calling crystal reports into the App.
Regards,
Akshay.

Have you tried creating multiple sections, putting each graph in a separate section and then underlaying the sections so they appear next to each other?

OWB 11.0.0.7 and SQL SERver 2005

We did search quite a bit but couldnt get this working...
We are using OWB 11.1.0.7 64bit on Windows 2003 Server 64bit R2
We have to pull data from a SQl Server database – SQL SERVER 2005 64 bit on Windows 2008 R2 64 bit
WE followed the procedures given in Oracle documentation –
1. creating a ODBC DSN connection
2. creating a init ora file for that connection
3. creating a listener
We tried with both HSODBC and DG4ODBC... We can connect to SQL server through OWB...the connection is successful but I cannot import the tables into OWB. It simply hangs forever. (in the init ora file we have put the HS_FDS_SUPPORT_STATISTICS=FALSE) We have to pull data from SQL server on an ongoing basis. However we found a workaround – we can create a remote link to the SQL server database by creating an entry in the tnsnames. However this connection is very slow – we have to pull thousands of records on daily basis. IT takes quite some time to do this. We have tried different combinations after Goodling.
Could you shed some light on this? Is it a bug in OWB 11.1 that we cannot connect to SQL Serer or are we missing something? Will it be ok if we go for 11.2?

Be wary about the differences between initialization settings for generic ODBC vs specific SQLServer gateway, they are different.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/gateways.111/b31049/apd.htm#BABHEBCE
The installation guide has details in the SQLServer section for when the SQLServer gateway is used that you should follow (specifically under configuring SQL Server Views for Data Dictionary support - needed for importing tables definitions into OWB when you use SQLServer gateway);
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/gateways.111/b31042/toc.htm
If you have an existing database link this can be used in OWB. When importing the tables you need to be aware that if it is a SQLServer gateway you will need to configure the SQLServer instance as in the gateway doc above). Just because you can query table data does not mean the gateway is configured properly.
Cheers
David

Hi,
Following solution might help you to resolve the issue.
Solution1:
Issue happens because universe connection to the Database is not responding and the Data Source Name is not configured to write SQL Server 2005 database.
Resolution
Created new DSN connection under SYSTEM DSN to SQL Server 2005 Database.
Import the universe from the designer.
Go to File->Parameters.
Edit Connection.
On the Database Middleware Page expand SQl Server 2005->Select SQL Server 2005 driver.
Change the DSN to new DSN connection
Test the connection.
Save the Universe and Export it to the repository.
Solution2:
I am taking Oracle as an example over here.
This can be caused when the SQLNET.ora is located in a remote location using mapped drives.
Resolution
To resolve,
check the registry [HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORACLE] you should see a folder called HOME0
look for any paths that contain a mapped drive partition
Change the mapped drive letter to a UNC path (
server\folder)
Open a command prompt and do a tnsping using the tnsname and verify the location of the SQLNET.ora or TNSNAMES.ora
If the path is not updated to the new path
Reboot the server

DB Connect from BW on Oracle to MS SQL Server 2005

Hello,
I am having issues replicating Meta-Data from SQL server databases via DBCONNECT to SAP BW.
For instance we have the CCM DB and the Siebel DB. We can transfer meta-data from CCM with no problem (SQL Server 2000) but we cannot transfer meta-data from Siebel (SQL Server2005).
Our SAP BW is system is on an Oracle database.
CCM is on OS Win 2003. SQL 2000 SP4.
Siebel is on Win 2003 Server Enterprise 5.2 and SQL Server 2005 SP2.
I already have the dbsl for SQL server installed in the BW system. When I do a Connection Check of the source systems in RSA1, it says "Source system connection OK".
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ajay

Hi,
I don't think the 32 vs. 64 bit is the issue. Have you tried checking OSS note: 512739. It describes the prerequisites for accessing MS SQLServer via DB Connect. Normally problems occurs due to unsupported data types being used in SQLServer - in such cases you have to create views in the source system and then use these views instead of the actual database tables. In the view you can perform the necessary data type conversion.
