Connect to Oracle using BCS

Hi , I have existing BCS connection which connect me to Oracle Database , I am trying to create new External content types using same connection but not sure if I can use same Application definition file or need new way to define these content types ,
I think I can not use SharePoint designer to create external content types with Oracle DB .. please suggest.

yes, you can reuse the same app def file... you'll need to add the ECT's and the methods (and any actions that relate between existing/new ECTs)... then just import the new app def, which will overwrite the previous one... since the previous ECTs should
still exist in the app def file, they'll remain in place, and will be supplemented with new ECTs.

Connecting to Oracle using JDBC

Hi all,
I am a new to Oracle. I am trying to connect to Oracle using JDBC
The URL with which I tried to connect was:
jdbc:oracle:oci8:@myServiceName,user='myLogin',password='myPassword'
I get an error (ORA-12154)
- TNS could not resolve service name
When I use the same userid, password and service and connect thru' SQL*Plus it goes thru'. Is there any parameter which I am missing. Can anyone throw some light on this. I am held up with this issue badly.
Thanks for all your help and time.
Regards,
Latha

Server:AIX 3 5Is it true or mistake ? I don't think Oracle 10g has ever supported on that AIX version.
Anyway, what OS user did you use ?

User permission issue in connecting to Oracle using java in Cent OS

Hi ,
I am facing a peculiar issue and since I am new to Cent OS, I hope somebody can help me.
I am using Cent OS 4.2 and I installed Oracle client 10.2 in cent os 4.2.
I am having a java application which connects to Oracle server in another Linux system using Oracle OCI driver which comes along with Oracle client
I have a user called user1 which belongs to group group1 as primary group and my application runs under this user user1.
This user is a member of oinstall group (which is the group for oracle uesr which has access to oracle client directories/files)
But when my application tries to connect to Oracle server, I am getting connectivity error saying "Oracle driver not found" or "cannot load libocijdbc10.so". All environment variables like ORACLE_HOME, PATH,CLASSPATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH are set properly.
The permissions to Oracle folder/files are rwx for owner(oracle user) , rx for group(oinstall) and none for others
What we observed are
1. When the application is start under root user, it works
2. When we give rx permission to others, it works
3. When we make oinstall group as the primary group for my user user1, it works
My questions here
1. Why it is not working even though my user user1 is a member of oinstall group
2. Why it is working when I make oinstall as the primary group
3. Is there any difference in security policy of RHEL and Cent OS
4. How can I access libraries from multiple folders which created by different user and belongs to different groups, if this is the case
I never faced this issue in RHEL4
Hope some body can help me.
Regards
Sunil

Direct connect to Oracle using Delphi

How I can direct connect and transfer data from Oracle Database using Delphi.
Not via ODBC driver!!!

There are several BDE replacements that allow you to connect to
Oracle from Delphi with out BDE or ODBC
DOA- Direct Oracle Access from Allaround Automation ~$200.00
http://www.allroundautomations.nl/index.html
NCOCI8 is freeware.
Goto to www.kylecords.com and they list BDE replacements.
I use DOA and their PL/SQL developer systems from Allaround
Automations and they are both excellent systems with excellent
support.

Problem connect to oracle using ORACE

Hi,
Has anybody been able to connect to Oracle 10g using the latest ORACE(Free PL/SQL code editor)? The application hangs when I click on connect. Do I have to install the Oracle Instant Client if I have Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition installed?
Any sort of help would be greatly appreciated.

Do I have to install the Oracle Instant Client if I have Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition installed?
No, But make sure that ORACLE_HOME variable is set correctly.
What is the name of the PL/SQL editor you want to use?
You can try SQL Developer.It is free as well.

Cannot Connect to Oracle using SSIS

I am working with a client that has the following: a Windows Server Standard 2003 with SQL Server Standard 2005 installed. Oracle 10g is installed on a Linux Red Hat server. All are 64-bit and have the most current service packs installed. We are trying to pull Oracle data to SQL Server using SSIS and/or the SQL Server Import/Export wizard. the 10g client tools are installed on the Windows/SQL Server box. We can connect from there to Oracle using both SQL *Plus and Aqua Data Studio. However, when I try to import data to SQL Server using with the .Net or OLEDB provider, I get the error stating that I have to install the Oracle client tools.
Can anyone help with this? No one on the Microsoft side seems to have an answer.
Many thanks!
Jeanne

I am also facing the same problem. I have read a related article on
http://stevemchugh.blogspot.com/2007/02/adventures-of-ssis-and-oracle-in-64bit.html
Although the problem solved in this article is not of exact nature as posted in this post but it still provide some thoughtful inside of SQL server 2006 64 bit and Oracle 10 g SSIS connectivity.
If some succeeds in this please also help in figuring out my problem

i am realy stuck with this so any one can help me with this probelm
thanks alot,

thanks for your reply,
yes i changed the server name and i verified the location of the JDBC driver file(s) on my computer. any way i solved my problem.
you know there was a misunderstanding in what you mean by classpath, i thought that i have to change the classpath from control panel>system>advance>enviroment variable
and then select classpaht and edit it. i was doing this but this is didn't work.
then i don't know why i did that
i went to java program and select my project,right click on it and then select properties>java build path and then select "add external Jars" button and then i simply choose them and add them to my project. and finaly it worked.
thanks alot

Connect to Oracle using DAC Client in command line

Hi,
I'm trying to connect to Oracle DB using DAC client. I have configured a connection and tested, it works. When I use the connection to connect to the DB, its giving me an error
"unknown error, please start in command line mode and see the stack error"
How do I start in command line mode? Could anyone provide more information on this.
Thanks in advance,
RK

In oracle db, you can create 3 different types of users:
(1) create user x identified by pwd.
In this case the user x will connect to the db using username/password, in this example x/pwd
(2)create user ex identified externally;
In this case the user ex will connect to the db using "/" and the sqlnet.authentication_services parameter value in the client and server sqlnet.ora will be used in determining the oracle external authentication adapter to use. For oracle windows client/db server, this is by default set to NTS. NTS is the oracle windows authentication adapter.
(3)create user gx identified globally as 'CN=gx,O=Oracle';
In this case also the user gx will connect to the db using "/" and oracle ssl will be used to authenticate this user to the db.
It would not be possible to "Create user x identified externally" and connect with x/pwd.
Please clarify.
To help you in isolating the problem, I will need the following info:
(1)
what are you connecting as to execute your plsql. Are you using sqlplus ? How are you connecting (connect "/ as sysdba", connect "/", connect x/pwd) ?
(2)
what create user statement did you use to create the user
(3)
is odp.net and the db server on the same machine.
(4)
did you run your plsql from the same machine as the db server.
(5)
if odp.net is on a different machine than db server, did you try connecting from odp.net machine to db server, using sqlplus ?

Unable to connect to oracle using type4 driver

hi
     I was trying to connect to oracle Database using type 4 thin drivers on win98.
     I downloaded the driver from oracle site and also downloaded some more drivers
     from other sites.While connecting to data base I ran into problems I am working
     for about two days on this thing but couldn't succeed.
     I get the following message:
          Connection refused ...........
     The driver is succefully loaded but when it tries to connect using
     conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@server:1521:orcl","userid","password");
     it gives the above message.
     now I think that I am giving the host name incorrect I couldn't find
     any way in oracle to figure out the host name.
     I am giving
               "jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:orcl"
          I have also tried other options for host name like localhost etc.but it
     didn't resolve.I think that the listener for oracle is not listening at the port 1521.
     I tried telnet to check that but it failed to connect at this port.I tried to do this
     with mysql to connect at port 3306 using telnet it succeeded.
          Second thing is that I tried to create a service name in oracle using TCP/IP protocol
     giving the above mentioned host names at all the attempts it gave the error that it has performed
     an illegal operation .
          I think that there are some settings needed for oracle to listen at this port which
     I dont know or I am giving the host name wrong . I shall be extremely thankful if u help
     me to solve this problem.
                                   Regards
                                             shAhzad

It has been a long time since I tried to run Oracle on Win98 (or Win95) for that matter, but I don't believe that there is a listener in the traditional sense since you would be using Personal Oracle. Your first step should be to make sure you can login to Oracle using the standard client and SQLPLUS. You could then use TNSPING to see if the listener is listening (you will need to setup TNSNAMES.ORA properly but you can use the Net8 Assistant or whatever). Next I would suggest you try using the OCI client instead of the thin client.
If you can, it would be much better to install Oracle on an NT, Win2K, or Linux machine. Oracle on Win98 is not really the same thing.

Unable to connect to Oracle using OS authentication (sqlplus / as sysdba)

Hello,
When I try to connect locally ,using OS authentication ( sqlplus / as sysdba ), on a Oracle database, I get "ORA-01031: insufficient privileges" error.
OS: Windows XP
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Prod.
connecting as sysdba using sys/pasword works.
I have setup :
-> Log on as a batch job
-> Log on as a service
I am also member of ORA_DBA group.
I mention that connecting "/ as sysdba" worked many months after I've installed the Oracle database. But at some moment in time connecting "/ as sysdba" was no longer possible.

Hi,
I have the same issues from the beginning..
I have two Oracle homes ( One for earlier installed SOA10g, and another for current installing SOA11g).
I have the right sqlora.net file. I have removed the old path and reset to point the new oracle home. I have this home entry as the first entry in my Universal installer too.
I AM ABLE TO CONNECT WITH sys USER AS SYSDBA on THE SAME SYSTEM ( I MEAN WHERE i INSTALLED THE DATABASE) USING THE command prompt.
But I am not able to connect as the SYSDBA with sys ACCOUNT through the SQLDeveloper tool. or RCU tool? Any help please. Again I am able to connect as a normal user through the SQL developer using the SYSTEM account.

How to connect to oracle using type4 driver in JSP

Trying to connect to Oracle using Web App

Hi Guys, I'm hoping someone here can help. This question goes out to anyone who has tried to connect to an Oracle database via web application written using Java Server Pages and Servlets. There is a specific file called the context.xml that contains the connection parameters to Oracle. Please note thread of conversation derived from a Java forum I've posted to earlier.
The bottom line is that "orcl" is the SID value for the Oracle database. The connection pool apparently isn't able to create connection objects based on the SID value given. When I attempt to run the test.jsp page in the browser I get the error message noted below. I still don't know how to fix this and simply must get it working.
Any advise is welcome.
Alan
I'm putting together a test page test.jsp in Tomcat that attempts to access my Oracle database running on the same machine. The point here is just to make sure I have the connection parameters correctly set before proceeding too far into the web application.
In my context.xml file I have the following:
<Resource name="jdbc/myoracle" auth="Container"
              type="javax.sql.DataSource" driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver"
              url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:orcl"
              username="BASIC_USER" password="tiger" maxActive="6" maxIdle="3"
              maxWait="10000"/> In my web.xml file I have the following:
<resource-ref>
      <description>Oracle Datasource example</description>
      <res-ref-name>jdbc/myoracle</res-ref-name>
      <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
      <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>My test.jsp page simply attempts to open a connection with the database and to display data from one table.
When I go into the browser to open the page I get the following SQLExceptioin error:
SQL Problem: Cannot create PoolableConnectionFactory (Listener refused the connection with the following error: ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor )
SQL State: null
Vendor Error: 0
It refers to the SID value in the descriptor. Well...you can see from the descriptor that I've written "orcl". That is the SID. url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:orcl"
At this point I'm spinning my wheels. I don't know what else to do to make this work.
Please advise.

Re: Tying test jsp page in Tomcat
Jul 23, 2009 12:31 AM (reply 1 of 2) (In reply to original post )
Click to email this message
Oracle docs say:
ORA-12505:TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor
Cause: The listener received a request to establish a connection to a database or other service. The connect descriptor received by the listener specified a SID for an instance (usually a database instance) that either has not yet dynamically registered with the listener or has not been statically configured for the listener. This may be a temporary condition such as after the listener has started, but before the database instance has registered with the listener.
Action:
- Wait a moment and try to connect a second time.
- Check which instances are currently known by the listener by executing: lsnrctl services <listener name>
- Check that the SID parameter in the connect descriptor specifies an instance known by the listener.
- Check for an event in the listener.log file.
