Communicating with xstring to Oracle Inter Connect

Hello,
We're using Oracle Inter Connect to communicate between SAP and other applications. To do so, we build remote enabled function modules.
We now have the problem that Inter Connect does not find RFC's which have parameters which are reffered as TYPE (fe i_matnr type matnr).
We want to use the xstring as importing and exporting parameter, but we can not refer to it as LIKE (fe i_matnr like mara-matnr).
Does anyone have expirience with this problem or has a solution?
Regards,
John

No suggestions?

"An error occurred when communicating with the server. Check connectivity with your administrator to determine whether further action is necessary", then attempt to approve TimeSheet.

Kind day, colleague.
It was required to organize a statement chain for TimeSheet of employees, as we realized. Everything is good, but at linear managers in PSW opportunity to execute Approve when viewing TimeSheet of the employee remained, and in attempt to approve TimeSheet there
is a mistake.
500 Internal Server Error
"An error occurred when communicating with the server. Check connectivity with your administrator to determine whether further action is necessary. "
Accept, is carried out as it is necessary.
It is a bug or we not correctly realized approval chain?

issue is related to the user booking time against a task that was past the finish/end date listed in the Project Schedule.
To resolve the user needs to submit their time on a valid task that is still within the current reporting timeframe, or have the Project Manager
update the task in questions so that the finish/end dates are at or beyond the submission period and then republish the project. After that, the user should be able to go in and submit their timesheet with success.

Communication with database using TCP sockets connection

Hi all,
I am bit of a newbie when it comes to databases. In a project I realised over te passed few weeks, I communicated with an 11g database using an application I created with VS Express. It uses an ODBC connection. I now want to connect a PLC to the same database. These PLC's don't have the ability to install an ODBC client so I need something different.
I am easily able to open a TCP socket on the PLC and send data from there. I would like to know if I can start a TCP sockets connection with our 11g server and send all queries directly. The other (already suggested) option would be to have the PLC connect to a PC that reads this information and hands it over to the ODBC connector, but that would mean I need an extra PC just to 'translate'.
I have been searching these forums for socket, TCP and more and feel it is possible, but I need a good document as a reference to show/tell me how it's done.
Thanks in advance,
Marijn

The TCP/IP interface to Oracle is undocumented (and hugely complex anyway). You'll need to use a higher layer iterface or setup your own infrastructure.
We need more information about what is available to you inside the PLC.
Can you use Java? If so, perhaps use thin JDBC?
Can you sent HTTP requests? If so you could set up your own Web services to handle this.
If you can only use C or C++, Oracle has interfaces there too.. it's called OCI (Oracle Call Interface) and thats as close to the networking layer as you can get.
Finally if you can use .NET Oracle has a Fully Managed Oracle Data Provider for .NET that you could use.
But if all you can do is super low level network access and none of the above then you will need to set up an intermediary as you mentioned.

Getting a "Your network preferences prevent us from communicating with the server" error in dw 5.5

Hello, lately i noticed dw 5.5 can't seem to use browserlab, it says "Your network preferences prevent us from communicating with the server"
I can connect to BC and other ftp servers no problem, I've also turned off my firewall to be sure and it still won;t connect.
The only info I found on this error is a tip on how to turn off browserlab, which in turn gets this error, Not sure why you would wnat to shut the feature off, but no tip to turn it on. The tip on editing the registry doesn;t help because itsyays to change the registry key to 0 and all communication of adobe products will be turned off, however the key does exist and is set to 1, so I can;t even try that tip in reverse to enable, itshould be communication already.
Any help would be appreciated, I am just competinga site and was about to check it in all the browsers, an incredibly useful and time saving feature, but I can't now.

Phil, the only screenshot I've seen from you is the error message (and I can't seem to view the others you just posted), so apologies if I told you something you'd already tried. We still think there should be a solution to this, it's just that debugging issues this way can be a little difficult, so please bear with us.
At this point our best guess is that there is a registry setting that got changed that is causing the issue for both of you. We have been able to repro the issue on Windows XP by setting the following 32-bit registry entry to 0. The issue was fixed by changing it back to 1. We've also tested on Windows 7 and verified the same thing with the 64-bit registry entry. Apologies if I'm suggesting something that any of you has already tried, but no details were provided about which registry entry you checked or what article you were looking at.
From the CSLive team:
"To my knowledge the only way to get that error message is to disable CSLive in the registry. The Customer does not mention the exact article or reg value that he is looking at in his post but it should be:
For 32-bit systems: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\AdobeOnlineDefault.
For 64-bit systems: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe\AdobeOnlineDefault
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/846/cpsid_84665.html
He should delete the AdobeOnlineDefault entry in the registry and try again. (he may need to stop and restart CS55Services Manager or reboot machine)."
Let us know if this fixes the issue for you or not. As with any change to the registry we recommend you make a backup first and proceed carefully.
Thanks,
Mark

Error on timesheet submission "An error occurred while communicating with the server.

Hello, we have many users who are encountering errors submitting timesheets following our migration to Project Server 2013 (SP1 April 2014 CU). The error is:
An error occurred while communicating with the server. Check connectivity with your administrator to determine whether further action is necessary.
This follows the specific timesheet, if I open a delegate session on my machine, I can reproduce the error. However, simply deleting and recreating the timesheet has resolved it for many users, at least until the next timesheet submission.
Has anyone seen this sort of widespread behavior and have a solution beyond deleting and recreating the given timesheet?
Thanks!

Hello Joncantrell
I just ran into issue and found a way to resolve, though it may not be the best. I think it is a bug, but here is how I fixed it.
1) Delegating as the user
2) Deleted the timesheet
3) Going line by line, I check each task that had a status of "Not Submitted" and "Send Progress for Select Task".
4) The error came up only for one task.
5) Open that schedule, remove resource from task, saved and published.
6) Deleted and recreated timesheet
7) Submitted timesheet and processed normally.
I hope this helps
Cheers!

Database connection encryption and integrity with ColdFusion and Oracle thin client

As ColdFusion datasource we are using the Oracle thin client to connect with the database. So, basically we are using a JDBC URL such as jdbc:oracle:thin:@... and as Driver Class oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver. This works successfully however we would like to set encryption and integrity parameters as well. In Java this is done similarly by setting a Properties object prior to getting a connection as follows:
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.put("oracle.net.encryption_client", "REQUIRED");
prop.put("oracle.net.encryption_types_client", "( DES40 )");
prop.put("oracle.net.crypto_checksum_client", "REQUESTED");
prop.put("oracle.net.crypto_checksum_types_client", "( MD5 )");
OracleDataSource ods = new OracleDataSource();
ods.setProperties(prop);
ods.setURL("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:main");
Connection conn = ods.getConnection();
Is there a way that I can pass these parameters to the ColdFusion datasource. Ideally, I would love to do this centrally in such way that a change to all the cfquery or cfstoredproc is not needed.
I also know that in application servers such as Oracle AS there is an option when creating a datasource which says "Add Properties". In there you can add such properties. So, I was thinking of maybe creating a JNDI DS in the app. server and then magically connecting to it but this may have some impacts on the app.
Besides this I was also thinking of communicating with the CF datasource through the CF admin API (cfide.adminapi.administrator) and also the option of extending the Oracle driver so that when CF connects with it these params are already set.
I would love to have your professional opinion and suggestions on this.

I believe the thin driver actually needs the IP address (not the DNS name). Also, is "java" the name of the Oracle instance to which you are trying to connect?
Try the following:String driver = "jdbc:oracle:thin";
String dbIP = "W2RZ1NXG01's IP address";
String dbPort = "1530";
String dbSid = "java";
String dbUser = "Admin";
String dbPswd = "apassword";
String cnctStr = driver + ":@" + dbIP + ":" + port + ":" + dbSid;
try
    Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
    con = DriverManager.getConnection( cnctStr, dbUser, dbPswd );
    stmt = con.createStatement();
    stmt.executeUpdate(createString);
    stmt.close();
    con.close();
catch(SQLException ex)
    System.err.println( "The following SQLException occurred: " + ex );
    System.err.println( "Message: " + ex.getMessage() );

Question about Communication with Oracle 7

Hi,
Generally we use Oracle Snapshots for Communication, but since Oracle 9.2.0.5 do not work with Oracle 7.1.5.2.4. we are thinking about do use Oracle Interconnect for this Link.
Now I have the following two Questions about Communication with Oracle 7:
1. Is an Adapter for Oracle 7.1.5.2.4 available?
2. From your experience, does it make sense to install Oracle Interconnect for implementation of only one read only Link with 3 Tables if an OAS for BI is available?
Thanks,
Hannes

1. The Oracle database adapter is for Oracle 8i and up. I checked the code needed in the database and doubt that will work in Oracle 7.
1. The other option Advanced Queuing also needs 8i and up.
2. For me it doesnt make sense that you want to connect to Oracle 7. Oracle 7 is unsupported and should not have to be developed against. Also the license costs for Oracle Interconnect ~17K without any discount is a bit steep for read only links to three tables. Having the OAS means you wont have to pay another additional ~17K for the apps server.

I get an error message when trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. The message says "windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have anything connected to my computer. How do I fix this?

I'm trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. I went through the process of bootcamp telling it to install windows 7. Once the windows boot manager started an error message came up. The error message says " windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have a usb connected to my computer. I am using windows 7 professional install disc. I can't figure out what i am doing wrong. The same message keeps coming up over and over. Am I doing something wrong or is it something else?

Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
"P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.

I connected my iPod to my PC and got a message 'The software for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly.

I connected my iPod to my PC and received a message box that read "The software for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall the iPod's software." Not sure what I need to do. I did uninstall all of my iTunes and related software components and then reinstalled the latest version of iTunes but that did not correct the problem and I now can't access my iTunes library at all.

Another thing is that iPod Touch shows up fine...I've tried every other ipod from older 4gig Nanos to 120gb Classics and none of them work..this is really annoying!

Oracle 10g ODBC driver with Windows 7 32 bit connecting to Excel

Hi Everyone,
I'm having an issue connecting to our oracle 10g database (64 bit system) from a 32 bit windows 7 installation running excel 2010/2007 using odbc drivers. Our excel spreadsheets worked without issue in windows xp.
In windows 7 I have been able to install the odbc driver via the following method:
1. Download the oracle 'basic' client and oracle 'odbc' client from www.oracle.com and extract the contents:
instantclient-basic-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115
instantclient-odbc-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115
2. Create a folder 'oracle' and place the instantclient_10_2 folder inside.
3. Ensure all the basic and odbc files reside in this folder.
4. Create a 'network' folder within instantclient_10_2
5. Create an 'admin' folder within 'network'
6. Create sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora files within the 'admin' folder:
7. Run 'obdc_install' within the instantclient_10_2 folder
8. Download and run the oracle odbc driver exe file from www.oracle.com (ORA10203.exe)
9. Go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Data Sources and create a new System DN
This allows excel spreadsheets connecting ONLY to oracle to function.
Unfortunately some of our spreadsheets connect to both a MySQL database as well as oracle. Spreadsheets connecting only to MySQL also function correctly, however, as soon as the vb associated with a spreadsheet includes a mysql call followed by an oracle call the spreadsheets fail. In Excel 2007 excel crashes completely everytime. In Excel 2010 the mysql data is generated, then when the script hits to oracle odbc connection there is a long pause, the oracle ODBC driver connect pops up requesting a username/password (this didn't happen in xp), then the data source selection pops up, then the username/password connect screen pops up again, and finally it fails with a runtime error '1004' General ODBC error.
If you look at the VB script it's failing at the Refresh BackgroundQuery statement in the ODBC connection block:
With Worksheets("Oracle1").QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"ODBC;DSN=Oracle_ODBC;UID=user;PWD=password;SERVER=ORACLE_LINUX;", _
Destination:=Worksheets("Oracle1").Range("A1"))
.CommandText = strSql
.Name = "Oracle1_data"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.BackgroundQuery = True
.RefreshStyle = xlOverwriteCells
.SavePassword = True
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.PreserveColumnInfo = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
Does anyone know how to get around this? It's very important!!
Also if you try to edit the oracle ODBC connections in Control Panels -> Administrative Tools -> Data Sources, ODBC crashes 95% of the time.
Advice greatly appreciated!!

Well, here's what I'd check anyway..
1) get Process Explorer from http://sysinternals.com
2) make a mysql connection, get a list of dll's loaded (include the location and version columns in the lower pane output)
3) close that, then make an ora odbc connection, get a list of dlls.
4) close that, then make a mysql connection followed by an ora odbc connection, get a list of dlls
5) compare the lists of loaded dlls. In particular, the difference between #3 and #4, is there a dll dependency that gets loaded by oracle's odbc that comes from a different location when you've opened a mysql connection first?
May or may not help, but might turn up a difference to help point you in a direction.

Oracle Discoverer 4i (portal db - oracle 8i) connectivity issue with 11g database

Hi All
We have oracle discoverer 4i with portal db (oracle 8i).
We connect to the external databases using db links in the portal db and the reports will use the db link to retrieve the data from views in the external databases.
External databases we were connecting is oracle 10g version and now we have upgraded these databases to 11g version.
Now i have a created a new db link to this 11g database and i have created a new EUL in portal to connect to this 11g database.
But when i try to create a report using the discoverer from this new EUL after login to the discoverer we get a "cannot connect to database" error.
We have all the necesscary privilege to the user and the new database link works perfectly fine. (when we try to query directly using SQL plus from portal database using this db link the query works perfectly fine).
Im not sure if this is a compatibility issue in connecting from oracle disc 4i to a 11g database.
Can any one advise if this is the case and if there is any workaround for this?
Regards,
Raj

Are you saying you are having issues with a database link between 8i and 11g (pl post exact versions to 4 digits) ? If so, it should be expected as database links between these two versions are not supported. Is there a reason you cannot upgrade the portal database to at least 10gR2 ?

OID Replication - Unable to test Oracle Net connections to a node with SQL

Hi all,
I am implementing OID replication and currently stuck on the verification part where I should use SQL*Plus to verify if TNSNAMES.ORA is configured correctly.
First server installed as a regular OID installation. Second server is installed with a high availability option.
Server1: name: server. Domain: domain.com
Server2: name: oid1. Domain: galaxy.com
My TSNAMES.ORA:
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = server.domain.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
OIDREP =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = oid1.galaxy.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
So, the configuration instructions state to test both WITH and WITHOUT the domain name:
IMPORTANT: Test Oracle Net connections to all nodes from each node in the DRG.
Use SQL*Plus. Test both system@net_service_name and system@net_service_name.domain.
IF THIS DOES NOT WORK, THEN ASR REPLICATION SETUP WILL NOT BE SUCCESSFUL!
So, my SQL*Plus statement "*sqlplus "sys/abcd1234@orcl as sysdba"* works just fine.
But the command "*sqlplus "sys/[email protected] as sysdba"* fails with ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
Thanks in advance for your input.

Vijay,
Thank you for your help. I was able to connect to my first instance without any issues. My next problem is updating TSNAMES with the second server, I am still getting the error message when connecting via SQLPLUS. May be my SQL statement wrong?
sqlplus sys/[email protected] as sysdba" or sqlplus sys/abcd1234@OIDREP as sysdba Neither one is working :(
Here is my TSNAMES. For now, I am using IP addresses
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.192.141)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =

Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to my computer

I have an HP Pavilion dv6 notebook; Product # WF536AV, running Win 7-Home. Without warning, when trying to boot one day I got the following error message:
Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. May be caused by unplugging removable storage while in use or a faulty hhd or CD drive. An unexpected I/O error. Error Code oxcoooooe9.
I have a 500GB WDC hhd that seems to run hot.
Cannot get into F8 Advanced Options, although I can get into BIOS (F9 & F10)

c) is the hhd simply failing. I do not have an extra to swap out and try
d) may the Win 7 Recovery disks bad, perhaps, and should I then download a Win 7 ISO file and try that?
Thanks for any help. This is highly frustrating. I have already spent about 8 hours on this!
