Connecting to MS SQL Server using ODI Agents

I'll start with an apology, since I'm sure it's something very obvious that I've missed. Other posts have similar, but I think slightly different issues - but they have helped me get this far.
We have ODI set up with two Agents (L and S running on Windows) which successfully connect to Oracle databases.
I'm trying to connect to our first MS SQL Server database, and while a test through "Local (No Agent)" is successful, the connection is not successful when I try through one of the agents.
This is true both when I test through Topology Manager on my laptop and when I use the ODI Topology Manager on the server running the agents themselves.
In attempting to fix the problem, I have updated/checked as follows:
Downloaded updated MS SQL Server drivers (I'm connecting to a MS SQL Server 2005 database). The new MS driver is version 3.0 and I've copied file sqljdbc4.jar to the ODI home drivers directory on both my laptop and on the server which runs the agents.
Checked that we have a newer JRE installed - we have JRE 6 update 7 installed (1.6.0.17_b04) on the server which runs the agents.
Updated the ODI_JAVA_HOME environmental variable so that it points to the jre6 directory on the server which runs the agents.
Stopped and restarted the Agent services.
Closed and reopened Topology Manager.
Configured the SQL Server data server to use the following JDBC driver:
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
Configured the JDBC url as follows (changing the hostname):
jdbc:sqlserver://<hostname>:1433;selectMethod=cursor;integratedSecurity=false
Tested using 'Local (No Agent)' successfully.
Tested through an agent and received the following error:
java.lang.Exception:

I'm sure it's something obvious that I've missed, but I've now spent close to two days researching, testing and drinking too much coffee. Any help would be very gratefully received!
Thanks.

After more investigation and even more chocolate, we've identified the problem and it's now working. For anyone else who strikes this problem in future, here's something to check/consider/try:
Even though Squirrel SQL Client was connecting and working ok using the MS JDBC driver (v 3.0), it recorded this in its logs:
Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" and "Latin1_General_CI_AS" in the INTERSECT operation.
We've found that the open source jTDS driver does not have the same issue as the Microsoft one.
We've installed the current jTDS driver, recorded the driver name (net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver) and the JDBC URL (jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://<hostname>:1433/<database>) and the connection is now working fine.
Hope this helps other people...
Thanks to those of you who offered suggestions and things to check...much appreciated.

How to connect to MS SQL server using JSP?

Hi, i am new to JSP so i would like to know what is the code to create a connection to MS SQL server.
I am using jakarta-tomcat 4 as my server.
sorry for any inconvenient....
pls help me....

This works to start off with but there are more sophisticated/ different ways of doing things,for instance it's best not to access the db via your jsp, rather do this logic in JavaBeans, Servlets or use Struts.Therefore, it's best that you consult with others and find out which is best way to go about creating your web apps.
Here's some code:
In my jsp's I access the bean below , instantiate a statement object and go on from there:
*SOME of the code in the JSP's.
//create bean instance
<jsp:useBean id='dbConn' class='projectsevenhouses.DatabaseConnectionBean ' scope='session' />
//instantiate statement
Statement st = dbConn.getConnection().createStatement();
* JavaBean
package projectsevenhouses;
public class DatabaseConnectionBean implements Serializable {
private Connection conn;
private Statement st;
private String dbURL = "jdbc:odbc:datasource";
private static String driver = "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver";
/** Creates a new instance of DatabaseConnectionBean */
public DatabaseConnectionBean() {
makeConnection();
public void setDatabaseName(String dbName) {
dbURL = dbName;
private void makeConnection() {
try {
Class.forName(driver);
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(dbURL,"sa","");
} catch (SQLException e) {
System.out.println("SQL Cause ->" + e.toString());
} catch (ClassNotFoundException cnf) {
System.out.println("Class Not Found:" + cnf);
public Connection getConnection() {
if (conn == null) {
makeConnection();
return conn;
public void setCloseConnection(boolean close) {
if (close) {
try {
conn.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
conn = null;
Hope it gives u an idea...

Why, in an Oracle forum, are you asking a question about a Quest product connecting to a Microsoft product?
How does this relate to the Oracle Database?

Connect to open ldap server using ODI

Hello,
I need to use openldap as dataserver in ODI. But I'm not sure how to provide valid connection string. My test ldap server:
- host: 172.18.0.106
- port: 389
- base dn: dc=example,dc=com
And (optionally), root access (simple authentication):
- Bind dn: cn=jimbob, dc=example, dc=com
- password: pass
So, I'm trying to begin with anonymous access (read only), this is my connection string:
jdbc:snps:ldap?ldap_url=ldap://localhost:389/&ldap_basedn='dc=example,dc=com'
Unfortunatelly, it does now work:
java.sql.SQLException: ODI-40528: A com.sunopsis.ldap.connection.SnpsLdapDriverPropertyException occurred saying: ODI-40546: A user has not been provided
Why does it ask me for user? ODI documentation says, that user/pass are not mandatory.
What are correct connection strings for anonymous access and root (or other user) access in my case? Both methods works with apache directory studio.

You can set ldap_auth=none for anonymous user.
User/password is mandatory otherwise. Please refer to http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/integrate.1111/e12644/appendix_ldap_driver.htm#CHDHCABH

Connection with SQL Server using DBCO

Hi,
I want to connect to Misrosoft SQL Server using DBCO transaction. I have given the following fields.
DB Connection = test
DBMS = MSS
User Name = user02
password = test
Conn. info = MSSQL_SERVER=tcp:10.100.50.36 MSSQL_DBNAME=New_Wisdom
permanent selected
Connection Limit = 5
Optimum Conns = 2
while executing through the statement as follows,
EXEC SQL.
CONNECT :'TEST'
ENDEXEC.
I am getting the dump ' An SQL error occurred when executing Native SQL.
The error 900 occurred in the current database connection "DEFAULT".' Please suggest me what needs to be added or corrected.

Hi Benito.
I'm not very familiar with MSS but maybe the following will help a little bit.
Depending on the version of your SAP system you can use the transaction DBACOCKPIT to add connections to non-SAP databases. There is an test connection button in that transaction, too. You will find some information about that transaction in some whitepapers here in the SDN. For example have a look at this one: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/1062428c-f1df-2910-b08f-c322feddcd10
ADBC error 16 is just "something went wrong". Is your SAP system using MSS, too? If not you will need the matching DBSL for it on your SAP system.
If you have set up an connection you can use program ADBC_TEST_CONNECTION to check if everything is ok. If I remember it correctly in case of errors it allows you to jump into the trace file. There you should find some usefull information.
Perhaps asking in the Database&OS forum area (there is a MSS forum) might help, too.
Best regards,
Jan

Connect to MS SQL Server 2000 data warehouse

I use a MS SQL Server 2000 database for my web application where I use JSP. I suppose to create data warehouse using MS SQL Server's Data Transformation Service. But I don't know it's possible to connect to a MS SQL Server's data warehouse using JSP. So I want to know is it possible to connect to data warehouse using JSP and if it is how to do it? Thank you.

You can certainly connect to M$ SQL Server using the JDBC driver:

Connecting to a data warehouse is no different from any relational database. (My understanding is that a data warehouse usually means a star schema implemented in a relational database.) This will connect you.
If you're not familiar with JDBC, you might need the tutorial:

Oracle to SQL Server using JDBC

I would like to connect Oracle to SQL Server using JDBC and a java program in oracle using loadjava.
I cannot seem to get a SQL Server driver to work when loaded into Oracle using loadjava. Outside of oracle, they work just fine. Within oracle, I receive class not found exceptions.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

Failure when connecting MS SQL SERVER from ODI ! could not load JDBS driver

i have some trouble with connecting MS SQL SERVER from ODI.
I have already downland jdbs driver 3.0 (and 2.0 ) and copy the sqljdbc4.jar to D:\oracle\product\11.1.1\Oracle_ODI_1\oracledi\agent\drivers( where the oracle jdbs driver is already exitst )....but i have this error :
could not load JDBS driver class..
thanks

After more investigation and even more chocolate, we've identified the problem and it's now working. For anyone else who strikes this problem in future, here's something to check/consider/try:
Even though Squirrel SQL Client was connecting and working ok using the MS JDBC driver (v 3.0), it recorded this in its logs:
Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" and "Latin1_General_CI_AS" in the INTERSECT operation.
We've found that the open source jTDS driver does not have the same issue as the Microsoft one.
We've installed the current jTDS driver, recorded the driver name (net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver) and the JDBC URL (jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://<hostname>:1433/<database>) and the connection is now working fine.
Hope this helps other people...
Thanks to those of you who offered suggestions and things to check...much appreciated.

Get the connected users count from sql server using powershell

Sorry Tom, I dont like to hear "There is no way" :-(
There is always a way in computer to get what you need (at least it is good as Rule of thumb). I am not sure we will find it here (in a voluntary supporting forum).
Now we (or better the architect of their system) should think of the way :-)
Of course doing so in the forum, while we do know the system and only got a glimpse on what is needed, is not the best idea. I will point some issues which can be related to a solution. Those are not a solotions as it is but something we can use for a solution
once something look in the right way.
* A web connects counter is one of the easier thing to do. The basic idea is just to use the connect event and the disconnect event an adding 1 or removing 1 from the counter. This is best to do in the application using static variable as any way the second
the application is down the counter can be go to hell as we know there is no one connect (there for a counter do not use database usually). Using a web dot-net (or asp 3) application this is done most of the time using the global.asa/global.asax file, which
include the application and session events. for example using the method Session_Start
protected void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) {
// Code that runs when a new session is started
* IIS have a build-in loging system where we can log each and every request/response or only logins users. There is lot we can do with this log files including data mining. Using small bulk insert script we can use the SQL agent to insert those logs to the
database and get the information we need.
* any web developer i want to believe know about the Fiddler application which we use to monitor traffic. A proxy is not the only way to to monitor traffic (it is not good for our case as this is in the client side), there are several option in the server
side.
* SQL trigger on logon can be use to get information on who is loging on and can be logging only specific source (like our sharepoint IP or any sharepoint application). This information (what is the application which connect to the server can be retrive
in several solution without using a trigger as well)
*** (I'll be brief ... I'm getting bored... probably the reader feel the same)
* using extended events and/or profiler we can monitor any connection and save the data or just remember it in shared (static) variable (this
blog show how to do it by the way). Again we can monitor specific application or use any filter in order to get only the sharepoint users
.... and i can continue for several days more :-) ...
"If there is a willing, then there's a way"
"If you can't do it, Then someone else probably can"
"Never say never"
I hope this help somehow :-)

How i connect to SQL server using java?

hi every body
i need to connect to a sql server database using java
i do not know sql driver in java

This is certainly the wrong forum for that question. Search in the JDBC forum. This has been asked and answered many times.

How do i connect to sql server using java?

hi ever body
i need to connect to sql server using java
what is the driver i will use?
thanks

Microsoft make a jdbc driver and it is readily available through MSDN. Here is a link http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/data/aa937724.aspx. Whatever jdbc driver you are looking for, Google it, and if it exists you'll find it in 10 seconds.

Problem to connect SQL Server using dg4msql form Linux machine

Hi All,
I have oracle 11g 11.2.0.1.0 on RHEL 4 on one machine and MS SQL Server 2000 on another Windows XP machine. I have to link the oracle database with SQL Server Database. So that we can run queries on SQL Server from Oracle 11 Database.
For this purpose I have installed Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2) Gateway for SQL Server on oracle machine.
For the purpose of configuration, I have followed the instructions of Doc ID (437374.1) available from oracle metalink.
listener.ora file
SID_LIST_LISTENER =

I have created DB link using following statement:
CREATE public DATABASE LINK dg4 CONNECT TO "sa" IDENTIFIED BY "sa" USING 'dg4msql';
when I give select statement, It gives following error:
select * from "Employees"@dg4
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:

ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from DG4
I will appreciate if anyone can help me

The general DG4MSQL configuration is correct as DG4MSQL is loaded and tries to connect to the SQL Server.
Is the IP Address and the SQl Server port (HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=172.16.30.51:1433//Northwind) correct?
Can you ping it from the Oracle gateway machine?
Can you telnet to it from the gateway machine to the SQl Server: "telnet 172.16.30.51 1433"

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.
