Connect Oracle Reports to SQL server

Dear All,
I am using SQL Server 2005 and want to connect Oracle Report 6i to SQL Server 2005 without installing Oracle Database. Installing both the databases slows down the machine.

Hi,
As far as I know this is possible using ODBC and Oracle Open Client Adapter (OCA), but I do not know the details and the howto's.
Probably you'll get a better answer when posting this question at the Reports forum:

Connecting Oracle(64bit) to SQL Server(32bit) with heterogeneous serv ODBC

Hi,
We are planing the migration of 32bit Oracle 9.2.0.8 (MS Windows Server 2003 EE SP1) to 64 bit Oracle 10.2.0.4 (MS Windows Server 2003 Standard x64 Edition SP2).
We have tested the migration using export/import procedure, and everything passed ok.
The problem is because the database we are planning to migrate (32bit) using Oracles heterogeneous Services ODBC agent in connection to 32 bit SQL Server 2000. When we have tried to implement that on 64bit 10.2.0.4 oracle we always get the message:
ORA-28545: error diagnosed by Net8 when connecting to an agent
Unable to retrieve text of NETWORK/NCR message 65535
Then we looked up the metalink and find the document: Is Generic Connectivity Available On Linux Or Windows 64-bit Platforms ? [*ID 361676.1*]
Is there any way to make the connection between 64bit Oracle 10.2.0.4 and 32bit SQL Server using system DSN within the Windows ODBC Data Sources with choosing the SQL Server driver?
The option with Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC) isn't free.
Thanks

Hi everyone
As far as I am aware, you need to install the Discoverer EUL into an Oracle database and then use an ODBC connection to SQL Server. This is because Discoverer has hooks into the Oracle database and is looking for features that only exist in an Oracle database. If you are using an Infrastructure, which is mandatory when using 4i, you can use that database to store your EUL using an ODBC connection over to SQL Server.
I hope this helps
Best wishes

Connect oracle forms to sql server 2000

Kindly tell me what kinds of scripts i have to install in SQL Server.

Hi,
You have 2 major options:
1. Use Generic Connectivity with your Oracle 9i database running on Solaris. However it requires a proper ODBC-Driver to be installed on Solaris capable of connecting to Microsoft SQL Server
MetaLink DocID: 245549.1 - How to setup Generic Connectivity - HSODBC - on SUN Solaris
Remark: Oracle 9i has been de-supported, should you run into new bugs they wouldn't be fixed by Oracle
2. Install and use the Database Gateway for ODBC 11g on the same machine which hosts the SQL Server database. Usage of this gateway is included in the Oracle database license. DG4ODBC also requires an ODBC-Driver but this one is mostly already present.
Another option would be to install the Database Gateway for MS SQL Server (DG4MSQL) 11g on the same machine which hosts the SQL Server database. However this gateway requires an additional license. The big advantage of this gateway over DG4ODBC is that it supports the two phase commit protocol (distributed updates) and calling of SQL Server stored procedures. Also the dataype mapping is better compared to DG4ODBC.
One thing though; in order for you Oracle 9i database to cooperate with one of the 11g gateways a patch for bug 5965763 on top of 9.2.0.8.0 is required. See also MetaLink DocID: 457808.1 for more details.
I hope this get you going.

Ed

Connect Oracle 9i to SQL Server: platform incompatibility

Hi,
we want to connect an Oracle 9.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production to a SQL Server.
The Oracle DB is on a HP-UX Itanium 64bits machine.
The SQL Server is on a WIN2000 machine.
Our first choice to get them connected was an ODBC and HS.
However, as far as we know, there is not HS for our platforms combination.
We have also tried to use another Oracle BD in a WIN machine as a middle tier.
Single queries work fine, but advance plsql blocks render in several errors (some due to db version, others to the way the oracle manager works)... so this solution also fails.
We have read about Transparent Gateway. But since it uses HS, we are not sure our platform combination is supported. Moreover, on the whitepaper is said "stored procedures are not supported", which it is a hard backdraw.
Any suggestion or workaround?
Thanks in advance!
Alberto.

You can use TG4MSQL, the Gateway to SQL Server.
The big advantage of the gateways is: they are independant from an Oracle db.
This means, you can run an Oracle DB on machine A, have the gateway installed on machine B and run the foreign database on a 3rd machine!
The TG4MSQL is only available for Windows based 32bit platforms, so in your case you can install the gateway on the SQL Server machine or -if you don't have access to it- on a 3rd machine running MS Windows operating system.

Connecting Oracle DB with SQL server

I need to connect an Oracle Data Base to a SQL Server throught a BPEL process. Somebody knows about a TUTORIAL or maybe other guide.....pls this is urgent.
Thanks

Reading you post, I asssume you want to select data from an Oracle database and pass this information to a BPEL processs. This process will store the data into a SQL Server database.
Create BPEL process, with two partner links, using the DB adapater. One partner link is using the Oracle databas, the other one SQL Server.
Therefore you must add/change your oc4j-ra.xml, to add an Oracle DB connection and an SQL Server connection: The file can be found at
$ORACLE_HOME\j2ee\OC4J_BPEL\application-deployments\default\DbAdapter

SSRS report through data subscription - Connect to 2 different SQL server DB for excel attachment in EMail Deliery

I need to connect to 2 different SQL server without creating linked server for generating report. Is it possible in SSRS 2008 report service?

Yes possible
You would just required created two data sources which points to both your SQL Servers. And inside report you can create datasets based on each of these data sources to retrieve and display the data from them. In cases where you would require merging the
data from both the systems you can use functions like Lookup, LookupSet etc. Reports created in SSRS can be rendered in a variety of formats like Excel, PDF, CSV etc

Error when using Oracle Migration WorkBench (Sql Server 2k to Oracle 8i)

I'm trying to migrate a Sql Server 2k database to an Oracle 8i schema using OMWB. After using BCP to collect metadata information on the source database, I tried to capture the source data model and got a "Capture aborted" message on the progress screen (even though then it appears a dialog window reporting "0 errors and 0 warnings", funny!). Down there is the error log OMWB generated. After reading some posts, I changed some columns of the OMWB dictionary that holds the source database name, but still got the same error. If someone can enlighten me on this toppic, I'd greatly appreciated it.

Unable to configure Oracle Publisher in SQL SERVER 2008 R2

Hi, All,
I am trying to talk to my Oracle database from SQL server. I already had Oracle Client 11g installed in my SQL server.
Following the guidance in the technet on configuring the Distributer successfully. I now trying to configure the Publisher, by choosing "Adding Oracle Publisher" option. Then it prompt for the user id & password, I have enter the login (which
is replication user id created in Oracle). I encounter following error msg:
TITLE: Distributor Properties

I have search the guideline on this error in Technet and do what I can to troubleshoot but still got error.
Kindly pls help me.
Thank you.
Avelyn

1.Make certain that a current version of the oracle client code is installed at the distributor”, please install corresponding version of Oracle
Client tools on Distributor Box
2.Are you able to connect to your Oracle server from the Distributor Box?if so,Distributor
box needs to have Oracle client tools installed on it before you can setup replication , I hope you have installed the Oracle client tools on Distributor Box. If yes, check if using SQLPlus you can connect manually to Oracle server or not from your Distributor
Box.
Moreover,Please refer the below
Before attempting to configure the Oracle Publisher, SQL Server verifies that SQL*PLUS is accessible through the system path on the Distributor. If SQL*PLUS cannot be loaded, the following error message is shown:
"Unable to run SQL*PLUS. Make certain that a current version of the Oracle client code is installed at the distributor."
Try to locate SQL*PLUS on the Distributor. For an Oracle 10g client install, the name of this executable is sqlplus.exe. It is typically installed in %ORACLE_HOME%/bin. To verify that the path of SQL*PLUS appears in the system path, examine the value of the
system variable Path:
Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
Click the Advanced tab, and then click Environment variables.
In the Environment Variables dialog box, in the System variables list, select the Path variable,
and then click Edit.
In the Edit System Variable dialog box: if the path to the folder that contains sqlplus.exe is not present in the Variable
value text box, edit the string to include it.
Click OK on each open dialog box to exit and save changes.

Please help.
Thanks

Thanks for your response, it got me closer to my goal. I'm still facing one problem:
Let me explain what I need to achieve
Purpose
Execute an Oracle stored procedure which in turn executes a stored procedure on remote SQLServer which updates local tables on that SQLServer.
Observations
The execution of both procedures completes successfully. However, an explicit COMMIT statement must be issued on the Oracle session which initiated the transaction before any data could be read from the SQLServer updated table.
The following is test exercise for proof of concept.
PL/SQL code
declare
out_arg integer;
ret_val integer;
begin
out_arg := 0;
ret_val := "dbo"."ZZZ_SP"@DBLINK_SQLSERVER(10, out_arg);
dbms_output.put_line(to_char(out_arg));
end;
SQLServer code
ALTER procedure [dbo].[ZZZ_SP] (@arg1 integer, @arg2 integer output)
AS
begin tran tran1
insert into dbo.PA01LOG(msg) values('ddd')
commit tran tran1
set @arg2 = @arg1 * 100
select -1
GO
I have put the Oracle gateway in Single_Site mode to avoid two phase commit. I want SQLServer to be able to run its own transaction management. I don't want Oracle to be responsible for completing the transactions which take place within SQLServer.
I fear there might be a gap in my knowledge.
Any ideas why I need to issue a COMMIT in Oracle session to release the lock from SQLServer table?
Thanks

How to establish a trusted connection with JDBC for SQL SERVER 2000

Hi!I am using jdk 1.4 and eclipse 3.3.
I create a servlet in eclipse with in-build tomcat.
When I run it ,it was working perfectlly has it was suppose to work.
In this servlet I connect to a sql 2000 database using jdbc-odbc bridge driver.
But when I tried to deploy the servlet on tomcat 5.5 manully on the same machine ,it gave me error saying
[Microsoft][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Login failed
for user 'sa'
I searched around some post and found that ok ,I need trusted connection
But I have 2 Questions
1). Why was in eclipse I was able to connect to the SQL server and why not in the servlet which I deployed manully on tomcat.
2). How do I create a trusted connection with JDBC for SQL server 2000
Thnaks for your help in advance.

Hi! duffymo ,QussayNajjar ,dvohra09 .
Thank for help.
The ideas are really great.
I am trying generate reports for my company.
When I used eclipse the code worked perfectly.
below is code which I used
out.println("Calling For Class Name<br>");
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
out.println("Calling For Class Name success Now calling database <br>");
1). jdbcConnection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:SQLJasper");
2). jdbcConnection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Driver={SQL Server};Server=ServerName;Database=tempdb");
3). jdbcConnection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Driver={SQL Server};Server=ServerName;Database=tempdb","UID=UserName","Password=Password");
out.println("connecting to database success<br>");
I had tried to connect the database using this three way.
In 1st I tried using DSN name .
Next 2 self explainer for expert like you.
I used to 2nd variant to connect in eclipse and it worked fine.
I not an expert in java ,I just doing some research on jasperReport.
My best guest is that eclipse is using some library files of which I have no clue.
Thank's for your help,I appretiate it.
Once again thank a billion.
Sorry for the messy righting.

Srini,
yes you can use report Buider with Sql Server through jdbc driver.
When you define the report datasource, you just have to set the JDBC conection infos.
