Coldfusion 9 will not connect to sql database set up as ODBC

I've just installed the 64 bit version Coldfusion 9 on a 64 bit Win 7 machine where I have several SQL Server data bases set up with ODBC.
When I go into CF admin to add a datasource, it will not see the ODBC connections I have set up.
Unless I find a solution I will have to uninstall this 64 bit version of Coldfusion and try the 32 bit version instead.
Just a note, these ODBC data sources were set up using c:\windows\sysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
I hope there is a setting somewhere that I missed.

Have you considered using JDBC rather than ODBC?  I suspect that both Adobe and Microsoft view ODBC as a legacy technology.

  • SQL 2005 will not connect in SQL 2012 profiler

    We have a few SQL 2005 databases that we manage. I went to do a trace on them(recently upgraded to 2012) and it gives me the error, "SQL Server Native Client 11.0 does not support connections to SQL Server 2000 and earlier versions".
    According to MSDN it does.  https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc280356(v=SQL.110).aspx  
    "SQL Server Native Client 11.0 supports connections to SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008, SQL Server 2008

    Any clue why it wouldn't let me connect?

    Can you specify the following parameter in the "connect to server" dialog when you load the Profiler --> click on "options" button and go to "Additional Connection Parameters" tab and paste the following?

  • Dreamweaver PHP file not connecting to SQL Database.

    Hi I am using Dreamweaver CC, I have a MYSQL connection set up. I want to create a recordset and when I choose the define my connection option, it comes up with  a pop-up screen the says: 'testing database connection' it loads for some time and then quickly closes down and comes back up immediately. It should be connecting fine and I don't know what to do as it isn't even giving me an error message to work off of! Any ideas? Thanks

    Jana,
    Your TNSNAMES.ORA file will be found in a path similar to this one:
    C:\Oracle\Ora81\NETWORK\ADMIN
    The file may looks similar to this:
    ORA1 =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = xxx.xxx.xx.xxx)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVICE_NAME = ora1)
    When you log on to SQL*PLUS try:
    USERNAME: system
    PASSWORD: manager
    HOSTNAME: (leave blank)
    If you still get an error, refer to your TNSNAMES.ORA file to see what your host name should be (in my example, it is ORA1).
    If you still get an error after filling in the hostname, launch server manager (C:\Oracle\Ora81\BIN\SVRMGRL.EXE), then try to start the database:
    SVRMGR> CONNECT INTERNAL
    SVRMGR> STARTUP
    Good luck,

  • New ipad 2 will not connect at all to set up

    Just got a ipad 2 this morning and I am trying to set it up with my macbook pro.  But it will show that it is connected.  What do I do?

    If you rebooted the router - unplugged it for about 30 seconds and then plugged it back in - try restarting your iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesn't work, turn WiFi off and then turn it on again in the settings on the iPad.
    Try this as well - Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.

  • URGENT!!!!!!!! Tomcat 5.0 does not connect to the database !!!!!!

    We had an already existing system on tomcat 4.1.18. Since migrating to Tomcat 5.0, we are facing lots of problem while trying to connect to the database. The database in SQL Server 2000.
    The first time i try to connect (after restarting tomcat service) the system is able to connect to the database but after sometime it again stops connecting.
    The beans on our system are able to connect to the database without any problem but when we try using the same via http, it doesnt connect. The classpath is set properly. Also the database drivers are also the latest ones and in the proper place. We have placed them in the common/lib folder. We have checked that normal jsp pages which are not connecting to the database are working fine.
    Please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
    Thanks in advance

    well.....Tomcat is not a database connecting engines.....U would need to check your db connection codes to check if you have missed anything.....so the first question will be
    1. How do u connect to the DB
    2. Which type of JDBC drivers are u using.
    Finaly, tomcat is not at fault...its the fault of you configuration

    Anyone seen this before? We are in the process of uninstalling the Oracle client completely and re-installing it to see if this solves the issue. We only installed the 64 bit version of the Oracle client. I am running on Windows Enterprise 2008 R2 - 64 bit. EAS, Essbase, EIS are all 64 bit installs. I believe Studio is the only one that is 32bit. However we are not currently using this product.
    Thanks,

    Hi Mike,
    With Oracle Support's help, we got 3 of the 5 servers working now. We were using the Datadirect drivers but were configuring them wrong! You have to use the Standard Connection portion in the setup, specifying the Host, Port Number (1521) and the SID. We were using the TNSNames Connection which worked in the past, but apparently does not now.
    So I am down to 2 servers not working. They are both Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise 64 bit, running Oracle EPM Essbase 11.1.2.1. When I Open SQL in EAS it prompts for database (Essbase Server, App, DB) and when I hit ok it pops up with "Network error: Cannot Locate Connect Information For []". We did not do any of the suggestions in the document you linked to get the other 3 servers working. When you hit ok on that error, you then get another error stating, "There are no Data Sources defined. 'SQL data sources' option will be disabled". We do have datasources defined on the server.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Any idea why this exception thrown ? Is this because of weblogic server connections cleanup or something to do with connections?  As per my understanding , JDBC connection will not be released when AM is active/managed mode.  Oracle Doc says
    " That application module instance holds onto the JDBC connection object that it acquired from the pool until the application module instance is removed from the application module pool."

    jbo.ampool.maxinactiveage is set to 20 min which means that If AM in the pool is inactive for 20 min then clean this AM in the next cycle (still that is not our case).  We also set jbo.recyclethreshold="50" means 50 AMs can exists in the pool with managed-state. We set these because of performance reasons.  As per my understanding, AM instance will be deleted (????) but in any action on the UI will pick up another instance of the AM because datacontrolframe is still valid in the session.  Do we have any best practice like jbo.ampool.maxinactiveage should be equal to session time out?. The error seems AM lost the underlying JDBC connection and somehow application is using that stale AM ?. what will be possible reason?.

    So, we checked the database and noticed the schema and their views were damaged and -due to this- they lost all their properties (like data types, for example). So, we had to recompile all of them in order to avoid any loss of data. This was done in TOAD, as per the following info: https://support.quest.com/SolutionDetail.aspx?id=SOL66821
    Finally, once all the views on this schema were rebuilt and fixed, we were able to deploy the Cube again.
    Hope this help in the future. Cheers!!

  • Essbase Studio - Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server

    Hi all,
    I am new to Hyperion and am having trouble deploying what seems a simple cube in Essbase Studio.
    My environment is Windows 2003, EPM 11.1.1.2, SQL Server 2000.
    I have the following two issues which may be related.
    1. The EPM System Diagnostic tool says that Hyperion Foundation cannot connect to the SQL database.
    Error:
    Failed: Connection to database
    Error: java.net.UnknownHostException: <server name: <server name>
    Recommended Action:
    Every other EPM application is able to connect to the database. I have tried re-configuring Foundation Services and checking the config files and nothing looks wrong. I would appreciate advice on how to fix this.
    2 In Essbase Studio, I was able to connect to the database where the source data is, build the minischema and create dimensions and measures. But when I run the cube deployment wizard I get the error:
    Message: Failed to deploy Essbase cube
    Caused By: Failed to build Essbase cube dimension: (Time)
    Caused By: Cannot incremental build. Essbase Error(1021001): Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server. See log for more information
    …ODBC Layer Error: [08001] ==> [[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.]
    I have checked the DSN as well as the connections set up within Studio, and they are all able to connect to the database. I am using the admin user for the Essbase server and have created a different user for the databases where the data resides and the shared services database. I tried using the same user all the way through and this didn’t help.
    Can you please advise what else I can check or change to resolve this issue.
    Also, can you work in EAS with cubes that are created in Studio? I tried looking at it and I got an error that the rule file couldn’t be accessed because it was created in Studio.
    After the above failures, I tried creating a cube in EIS, with mixed success. I have been able to load the members and data without errors. But when I try to view the data in the cube, I am seeing field names for the measures instead of the data itself.
    ...Definitely more questions than answers at this stage of my learning.
    Regards
    Michelle

    Michelle,
    I don't know if you found an answer to you question after so many months but I was hoping I could be helpful.
    The issue you are experience happens often when the dimension that you are getting an error on, in this case TIME, is built from a snowflake lineage and there is a bad foreign key reference. This dimension is most like high-up in your outline build process for Essbase Studio and this prevents the build from happening usually early on.
    Check your logs also. They are in Hyperion > Products > logs > essbase > essbasestudio.
    You can also make your logs more verbose by setting a configuration variable in the essbase studio server.properties file but that should only be used for debugging as it really saps performance.
    And, yes, you can of course edit an Essbase Studio deployed cube in EAS. However, any changes you make to the cube in EAS are subject to being wiped-out upon the next Essbase Studio deployment of that Applicaion/Database combo.
    If you want to provide more detail, screenshots, etc. I would be glad to help where I can.
    Cheers,

However I have an HP Deskjet 3050 J610 printer which will not connect to the router. When I try to connect, the blue light just keeps on flashing but a connection is not found. Consequently my MacBook cannot "see" the printer on the network. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    See if this helps.
    Printer does not maintain wireless connection.

  • My hp c4599 printer will not connect to my wireless network

    My hp c4599 printer will not connect to my wireless network or show up on my computer during the installation even though it is usb connected. But it managed to create its own network where i can print wirelessly by selecting it sort of like bluetooth… I have installed different softwares from the hp website and looked at so many different forums but i cant find the answer. I have reset the printer and wireless network and god knows whatelse. I can also print fine through the usb cable, it just will not connect to my wireless network. I am going crazy P.S. once upon a time it was connected to my wireless network but i cant remember what happened. 
    So can someone please help and please dont be too technical
