Connecting/Linking MS Access 97 to Oracle Discoverer 4.1

Can someone help me connect/link ms access to Discoverer
I want to run reports from ms access via Discoverer.
Instructions in simple step by step please.

Have you tried using the Oracle Migration Workbench? It's
designed to convert various database formats to Oracle.
Hopefully, it'll handle all these sorts of things automagically.

  • Creation of a Custom Folder in Oracle Discoverer Administration Edition

    Hi
    Could anybody help me in solving this problem while creating a Custom Folder in Oracle Discoverer Administration Edition ?
    My Requirement is :
    I Connect to EUL_US/EUL_US@<HOST_STRING> under Oracle Discoverer Administration Edition.
    I selected a Pre-Defined Business Area Eg. General Ledger
    There i created a Custom Folder by Name Test Custom Folder
    The Query which i used in my Custom Folder is
    SELECT NAME FROM GL.GL_JE_BATCHES
    When i Used this Query it says Table or view does not exist.
    The Folder is getting created but without a Query.
    I am not able to preceed further.
    Any Help would be appreciated
    Regards
    Nakul Venkataraman

    Hi Nakul, you may be running into a problem with the sql for your custom folder. For some reason Discoverer Admin will allow you to create a custom folder with sql, but then if you change it and it has any advanced sql, i.e. grouping sets, analytic functions etc., you probably receive an error.
    An option is to create a view using the same sql and create a folder from the database using this view.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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 ?

  • How to connect access database through oracle sql prompt

    i want to connect access database via oracle , i am trying to import all the data in Access table into oracle table how it is possible .
    A.R

    The simplest way, if You have already created tables in Oracle DB, is to open the Access MDB, link Oracle tables via ODBC and build a query to append rows reading from Access tables to Oracle tables.

  • How to connect to a Sql server from Oracle using db link

    Hi All,
    Does anybody have any idea about how to connect to a sql server from oracle database using db link to syncronize the data? I need to pull the data from Sql server table to Oracle tables and relay messages back to the sql server.
    Thank you,
    Praveen.

    we have 2 products - DG4MSQL and DG4ODBC.
    DG4ODBC is for free and requires a 3rd party ODBC driver and it can connect to any 3rd party database as long as you use a suitable ODBC driver
    DG4MSQL is more powerfull as it is designed for MS SQL Server databases and it supports many functions it can directly map to SQL Server equivalents - it can also call remote procedures or participtae in distributed transactions. Please be aware DG4MSQL requires a license - it is not for free.
    Check out Metalink and you'll find notes how to configure both products.

  • Connect to Oracle Discoverer window does not appear

    Hi,
    The Web based Oracle Discoverer 4i does not work properly on my system. I first connect my Microsoft IE to the URL. One the URL there is magnifier icon. Under this icon there is a lable of "Click the image above to start".
    I click this icon and another window pup up. The top left corner of this window shows "Oracle Discoverer" title. Under this title bar are the menu items. The menu items are File,Edit,Sheet,tools, Graph & Help from left to right. The bottom left corner shows "Loading...". But the "Connect to Oracle Discoverer" window never pups up.
    If I connect my browser to another URL I can get "Connect to Oracle Discoverer " window displayed and log into database.
    What is wrong with my first server?
    Thanks for help.
    Wallace

    I'm only guessing, but I've had similar problems in a few cases with the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine. Try getting Discoverer to run with a different JVM, like Oracle Jinitiator.

  • Connecting MS-Access database with Oracle Forms

    Hai,
    Can any one suggest as to how I can connect MS-Access database
    with Oracle Developer Forms. What is the procedure ? Suggest me
    if I need to install any drivers. Waiting for an early reply.
    Warm Regards,
    Raghav.
    email:[email protected]

    Not possible as far as I know.
    Probably because ODBC itself (the defined interface) doesn't support it.
    There is a commercial MS Access (java only) driver that might support it.

  • Connection of MS Access to Oracle

    Please help me out if anybody can help me in this i wanted to connect Oracle server from MS access application sitting on anywhere in network to migrate selected data from MSAccess to Oracle server. I am using DSNless connection using Microsoft ODBC drivers for Oracle but it is saying Oracle Client components need to be installed.Can't we connect thru this procedure without having Oracle client on same machine.

    Justin,
    thanks for your quick replies.
    Using Oracle ODBC 32Bit Test:
    the connection seems instantaneous. I tried to enable connection pooling for Oracle ODBC driver with a wait in the pool for 600s. Maybe this will keep it live and I can instantiate a fake connection every 10 minutes? I do not what else I could try ...

  • Access oracle Discoverer report

    Hi,
    has anyone tried accessing an oracle discoverer report through web dynpro?  Any info will be greatly appreciated!
    Leah

    Yogini is correct, but the solution provided will remove drill capability for all users under all circumstances. This is a "shortcoming" of Disco. If you set up a hierarchy for the users to use for drilling, the users must have the drill out privilege. This has the additional effect of adding the "Drill to related..." feature to most (and I believe all) columns.

  • Oracle discoverer Administration - Business Areas

    Can anyone tell me if it is possible to install the Oracle discoverer Administration edition for a user, but only with query/view rights on Business Areas ?.
    The user should not be able do make changes , but only to view certain BA : eg : folder links, custom folder queries, properties etc.
    Or is there another way of getting the information regarding the setup for a certain Business Area ?

    Hi,
    It depends what version of Discoverer you are using. If you are using a later version (10g) then you can give the user administration privilege but no privilege to change the EUL (e.g. format business area). Then when the user connects to Disco Administrator they get read only access to the EUL.
    If you are using a previous version then you will have to either write a report off the EUL tables that gives them all the information they need (The Oracle provided EUL Definition Business gives most of this information), or implement your own read only constraints using database triggers.
    Hope that helps,

  • How Offiline Data loading is possible from MS Access DB to Oracle DM

    HI All,
    I am new to Oracle.
    I am trying to migrate few tables from MS Access DB to Oracle DB (10g)
    I have used the migration utility from the Sql Developer tool.
    I was successful in creating the schema and also transferring the data for tables.
    But if my data in Access DB is updated everyday then how am i suppose to link this to newly created oracle tables?
    Is there any way to do this?
    And if i want to load the Oracle tables offline using "Generate Offline Data Move Scripts" option in sql developer then how do i do it?
    I tried using the option "Generate Data Move Scripts" right click option on converted object then the utility created few files on my local machine.
    I am not able to make my way fwd.
    Please help me.
    regards,
    Sushil

    Hi Sushil,
    I will try to address each of your questions:
    Q: "if my data in Access DB is updated everyday then how am i suppose to link this to newly created oracle tables? Is there any way to do this?"
    A: Depending on your reasons for maintaining the use of the MS Access database, you have two options.
    1. lf you are continuing to use the MS Access database because the application front end is MS Access forms & reports then you could just create linked tables to the newly migrated Oracle tables. Doing so will mean that any data modified via the frond end forms & reports will be saved directly in the Oracle database.
    2. If you wish to continue saving data to the MS Access database, then transfer it to the Oracle database, then you can just use the "Migrate Data" option in Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench to carry out this task. You just need to ensure that you've an open connection to your migration repository, and have the converted model for the migrated database. You will then just transfer the data online, like you have already done.
    Q: "And if i want to load the Oracle tables offline using "Generate Offline Data Move Scripts" option in sql developer then how do i do it?"
    A: To migrate your MS Access data offline, you need to do the following:
    1. Run the Exporter tool for MS Access, and select the "Export for Oracle SQL Developer" option. On the second screen of the tool, browse to the location of your MDB file, provide a location for the output directory and ensure you select the "Export Table Data" option before you click the "Export" button. This option generates a .DAT file for each table containing data in your MDB file.
    2. In Oracle SQL Developer, once you have carried out your migration, select the Migration > Script Generation > Generate Data Move Scripts menu item and select the Converted Model to generate the scripts for. An "MSAccess" folder will be generated in the path specified in the "Generate Offline Data Move Files" dialog.
    3. Navigate to the "MSAccess" folder generated in step 2, and this folder should contain a "oracle_ctl.bat" file, which
    for your converted model.
    4. Edit the "oracle_ctl.bat" file and update the script to replace <Username>/<Password> with the actual username/password combination required to connect to the migrated schema e.g. for a migrated Northwind database, this combination would be northwind/northwind. Save the changes to the file.
    5. Copy the .DAT files generated in step 1 to the /MSAccess/Oracle folder. The .ctl files refer to the .DAT file in order to load the data into Oracle using SQL*Loader.
    6. Open each of the .ctl files and check the file name referenced on the 2nd line of the file e.g. infile '[Categories].null', where the file name is "Categories.null". The ".null" part must be updated to ".dat". This is a known issue and a fix for this will be available in a future release of the Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench. Save the changes to the .ctl files.
    7. Open up a Command Prompt & navigate to the /MSAccess folder, and run the "oracle_ctl.bat" file to load the data into the Oracle database tables. If you experience any issues during this process, check the output in the command prompt & try to resolve any reported issues. If you are unable to do so, please refer to the Migration Workbench forum - Database and Application Migrations If you cannot find a solution from the existing threads, please post a new thread, giving the full syntax of any reported error messages.
    I hope this helps.

  • Copy access data into oracle with form builder 9i

    hello
    i need to copy/import data and tables from an MS access database into oracle 9i database. the situation is each time i login to my forms applicatin i will need to do that. any idea pls...
    the access db is frequently updated. so when i login into my forms application it needs to be reimport the data from access db. can any1 pls help me?

    To my opinion, there are 3 potential approaches :
    1. rewrite the application, that data are stored directly in the oracle database
    or the program writes flat files somewhere to the file system which are able getting
    imported from the target instance on daily basis or job driven;
    2. The "Access-driven approach" : link oracle tables into the MS-Access application
    using an ODBC-connection and build a macro in Access which is exporting the stuff to
    the target instance; in order to do so, the Oracle Client and ODBC-Drivers needs to
    get installed on the PC where MS-Access is started to start the exportation process
    (which is probably yours).
    You may then create tables in the target instance and link them from within Access
    using ODBC as the datasource
    3. The "Oracle driven approach". explained in detail here, never tried it, but maybe
    worth a look
    http://www.orafaq.com/node/60
    Basically, install the Oracle Software on a PC, configure an ODBC-Connection and start a
    Listener there;
    The target instance (which may no run on a UNIX system) is now able to commuincate
    with the local running listener on your PC which itself is instantiating a connection to
    the Access "Database" using the ODBC-Connection.
    In this way, your PC acts as a database server from the Oracle Net point of view.
    In theory, this could even work, depending on the ability to connect from the
    instance server directly to the given IP of your PC (Security ?? Hmmmz)

  • MS Access ODBC to Oracle missing tables

    When linking Oracle 8i tables to a MSAccess database using an ODBC connection, some of the tables are not being shown in the list for selection. I can't seem to find any differences between those tables that are listed and those that are not. This is a PeopleSoft system using Oracle as the backend database. Please help!!!

    I found my the answer to my own question....I used the Oracle Driver that was installed with my client install. For those of you that are trying to connect to Oracle from Access. I had to create the link using VBA, there is an extra parameter that needs passed in the connection to Oracle, the XSM Parameter. This will create a link in Access called "fsdev_PS_MASTER_ITEM_TBL", the source oracle table is SYSADM.PS_MASTER_ITEM_TBL. You must also have the Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object library installed in the Tools --> References. See the code below:
    Option Compare Database
    Option Explicit
    Function AttachTable() As Variant
    On Error GoTo AttachTable_Err
    Dim db As Database
    Dim tdef As TableDef
    Dim strConnect As String
    Set db = CurrentDb()
    strConnect = "ODBC;DSN=FSDEV;DBQ=FSDEV;DATABASE=;XSM='SYSADM'"
    ' NOTE: DSN is your ODBC Data Source Name; DBQ is your TNSNAMES.ORA entry name
    ' NOTE: YOU MUST PASS IN THE XSM PARAMETER IN NEWER VERSIONS OF ORACLE DB
    Set tdef = db.CreateTableDef("fsdev_PS_MASTER_ITEM_TBL")
    tdef.Connect = strConnect
    tdef.SourceTableName = "SYSADM.PS_MASTER_ITEM_TBL"
    db.TableDefs.Append tdef
    AttachTable_Exit:
    Exit Function
    AttachTable_Err:
    MsgBox "Error: " & Str(Err) & " - " & Error$ & " occured in global module."
    Resume AttachTable_Exit
    End Function

  • Access 2003 to Oracle Migration Queries

    Hi Experts,
    I have taken up a project to migrate Access 2003 application to Oracle 9i.The Forms and Reports will continue to run in Access 2003 with Oracle 9i database. I decide to use Oracle Migration workbench for the migration purpose.What I think is the back-end i.e. database and queries will be automatically migrated to Oracle 9i but I'm not sure about the front end application.
    Do I need to change front end application to point to database in Oracle 9i or OMW will do that itself.I am also confused with lots of queries that reside in current Access database. I presume these queries will be converted to Oracle procedures/views without any manual intervention but will the front-end application also be modified automatically to point to those stored procedures/views. Otherwise an extensive code change will be required which may result in huge cost.
    Currently the Access application is not using any ODBC DSN as it gets connected to the database automatically. Should the database connection be changed to use DSN prior to Migration?
    One more thing, the application is using single-level linked table. Will the linked table get automatically converted and connected or I need to do anything?
    Could anyone help me in this issue by giving some ideas so I can manage the job efficiently and make proper planning before plunging into the real work.
    Thanks & Regards
    S C

    The Migration Workbench will modify the Access mdb file as part of the migration if you request it, to create the necessary link tables to oracle, it will use an ODBC DSN to do this. This is explained in our documentation. This should be transparent.
    However for complex application, you often have a tuning exercise, to ensure that the jet engine does the "right" thing, and there changes are required, e.g. a two way join, you would want that to happen on the server and not done on the client. This would be same tuning exercise, if the back end was SQL Server.
    In the latest release of the Access plugin, we did a better job migrating queries to views, but you need to plug this into your code.
    Yes, the exporter should extract the information about the linked table, assuming the link is valid at the time of extraction.
