Connecting Oracle Reports (9i or higher) to a DB2 database

Hi all, this may just be a newbie question. In Oracle reports, is it possible to generate reports getting data from a DB2 database? I asked this because the clients of one of our projects requires us to print reports on both their oracle and db2 databases. We were thinking if we should use Oracle Reports as our standard reporting tool for this. What do you guys think?
Also any good articles, docs and info abt this topic is very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time in reading this post.

Personally, if it is feasible to do so, I would prefer to export and import specific application schemas or tablespaces rather than doing a full export and import. That's more of a personal preference thing.
I wouldn't be overly concerned about moving to a different operating system-- moving to a different Oracle version is likely a far more drastic change. That said, there are a number of things in Oracle that are operating system and/or version specific that have the potential to cause you problems, so you need to do a thorough test. Well over 99% of the features are going to behave exactly the same, but every application of sufficient complexity seems to manage to find one odd-ball scenario where something changes between releases.

    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:

  • Try to connect oracle in portal 4.0 and cannot create database connection for the realm

    hello,
    i have try to use the method in configuring Weblogic Portal for Oracle Database.
    I have made all with no problems
    but when i stop and i start the weblogic portal i have this error
    java.lang.IllegalAccessError: Exception[com.bea.p13n.security.realm.RDBMSException
    : An error occured creating a database connection for the realm.]
    Any one have a solution? Thx!

    Jean-Philippe,
    This usually is due to a DB configuration issue. Check your RDBMS realm
    username, password and driver properties. Check your database is running and
    have enough Connection free.

  • Help needed for MySQL 5 database DSN less connection with Oracle reports

    Hi,
    I am using Oracle Develper Suite and java (J2EE) for my application. I am using MySql 5 as database tool. I want to use Oracle reports of Oracle Develper suite. I have created some reports by first creating system DSN for MySql database and then connect Oracle reports to that DSN by "jdbc:odbc" connection string provided in Oracle Report developer wizard. This is working fine.
    I want to generate reports without creating system DSN (DSN less) so that i can use my application on any computer without creating DSN for Oracle Reports. I am deploying my application on OC4j as "EAR" file.
    Help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
    Regards.

    Using an 8i client, you will need to configure the tnsnames.ora file with appropriate connection information if you are using local naming. If you are using host naming or something like an Oracle Names server to resolve TNS aliases, you can skip the tnsnames.ora configuration. A default installation of the Oracle client, though, will probably be using local naming.
    If the tnsnames.ora file is configured, or you have configured an alternate way of resolving TNS aliases, you should be able to use the connection string
    DRIVER={Oracle ODBC Driver};DBQ=<<TNS alias>>;UID=system;PWD=managerIf you wanted to move to the 10g client (the 10g Instant Client could be useful here), there are some streamlined naming methods that could be used instead of configuring the tnsnames.ora file.

  • Regarding tutorial of how to call Oracle Reports from APEX

    Hi,
    I'm trying to call Oracle Reports from APEX using this tutorial.
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/howto_integrate_oracle_reports.html
    But in the step of 'Create the Oracle HTML DB Application', 'OE' doesn't appear in the LOV of Existing Schema, even though the sample schema exists in the schema and they are unlocked. And when I type 'OE' directly without using LOV, and press Next, the message 'Schema is reserved or restricted' appears.
    How can I create the workspace based on OE schema?

    Hello Shohei,
    I know your following the tutorial, but if you want to call oracle reports from apex it is quite easy though if your working with oracle reports 9i or higher. Just create an html region and put in the source the html code for referencing an url like to_report
    Or reference the same url from a button placed on the HTML region
    (you can create a package that would create the whole URL and returns it as a string, easier for scalability)
    Hope this can help you to (tutorial is good but try and learn from scratch is also good ;-) )

    It looks like your JDBC driver is not found. Have you deployed the driver to XI?

  • Connectivity of Websphere with Oracle reports running on Oracle 9i AS

    How can we connect to Oracle Reports services and in turn generate reports; by accessing it from an application running in websphere, which is running on different machine in the same network. Our environment is such that we are forced to use these two application servers.

    we're currently looking at building the reports j2ee thin client for ibm websphere - however do not have a scheduled date for this. you can see if the j2ee thin client meets your requirements by looking at the doc for it for the bea client:
    http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/Tools/thinclient/bea/Readme.html
    is something like this for websphere what you are looking for?

  • Oracle reports 10g High Availability

    Clustering is deprecated with 10g application servers and High availability is recommended by Oracle for fail over of Report services (standalone).
    I would like to get any incite , oracle references as to how the recommended solution could be implemented both for cold and hot fail over of report services within the same subnet.
    the architecture of our environment is that two hosts (one of them being standby) run report services using namingservice discovery mechanism and requests are manually redirected to the standby service in case one of them fails.
    how could this be transformed into hot fail over ?
    Regards

    Read the section on High Availabilty in the Publishing Reports to the Web manual, and the section on Reports in the High Availability Guide.

  • Changing Database Oracle Reports Connection.

    Hi Fellows.
    I would like to know if it is possible to Change Oracle Reports Connection (Ver2.5) after the end user fill in the Parameter Form. I have about 21 agencies with a Database in each one and the end user have to choose the agency what he wants to query. Send some ideas to see what can i do.
    Thanks for your Help!
    P.D. I had reading Oracle Reports help and I had found something about but did not work (CONNECT DB scott/tiger@inventory).

    Don't know how to do that, but I have a suggestion (not a very good one, i agree). You can use lexical parameters to achieve this.
    You may have all of your Report client connecting to the same "dummy" database. In this DB you'll create database links for all other agencies (databases).
    In the parameter form, you create a DB_LINK parameter listing all available agencies (DB Links).
    In your report query, you'll use a lexical parameter. I'd look something like that:
    select bla bla bla
    from TABLE_NAME@'&DB_LINK'
    As I said, it's not a very good idea, but I don't know an alternative either. If you already have lots of reports, you'll have to alter each one. I don't know if DB Links are a feasible solution for your environment. Don't know if you have the time for that...
