Connecting to Oracle Data Source using SSIS

Hi Guys,
Please I am working on a BI Project that requires me to connect to an oracle data source using SSIS.
Can someone assist me with the required steps to achieve that.
I dont want to use a third party tool.
Thanks
me

Hi lilutchay,
If the SQL Server Integration Services is Enterprise or Developer edition of SQL Server 2008, we can use
Microsoft Connector Version 1.2 for Oracle to connect Oracle databases with version Oracle 9.2.0.4 or higher, Oracle 10.x or Oracle 11.x. If the SQL Server Integration Services is Enterprise or Developer edition of SQL Server 2012, we can use
Microsoft Connector Version 2.0 for Oracle to connect Oracle databases with version Oracle 9.2.0.4 or higher, Oracle 10.x or Oracle 11.x.
While if we want to connect to other Oracle version databases, we can use
OLE DB provider for Oracle which has been tested in SSIS labs and is recommended by Microsoft.
For the detail steps for Microsoft Connector for Oracle, we can refer to the first blog suggested by Deric. For more details about the use of connecting to oracle using Oracle Provider for OLEDB from SSIS, please refer to the blog below:

Using Oracle Data Source in SSIS using Attunity

Hi,
I am using the oracle data source in SSIS.
* Created the expression that will have query to select source column.
* I need to extract only rows having specific date. This date is a dynamic one i.e Created a variable1 which will be update by function call(return type is datetime) for time being i have assigned the
value(datetime type).
* I have created one more variable2(string type) which will extract only date(dd-mon-yyyy). Below is the query i used.
{"select cast(DATEPART(dd, @[User::Cob_Dt] )as char(2))+'-'+cast(DateName(mm,DATEPART(mm, @[User::Cob_Dt] )) as varchar(3))+'-'+cast(DATEPART( yyyy, @[User::Cob_Dt]
) as varchar(4)) "}
* In source query expression i have used the variable but it showing "as missing expression". Though i tried a lot i cant get. some one please help. Below is thquery
{select * from table_name where ud.system_date =@[User::Date]
and... }
I have tried different formats like enclosing that between quotes(shows same error), then used to_Date() in oracle again shows same error.
If i hard code the value instead of @[User::Date] means its working well.
SomeOne please help me why that error is showing. I cant able to figure out. trying for whole day. PLEASE.
Thanks,

Directly in the source component, or in the expressions property of the data flow?
If the latter, what happens when you preview your expression?

Not able to connect to Oracle Data source in Oracle Essbase Studio 11.1.2.2

Hi,
When i tried to connect to Oracle data source, i get this error "Unable to establigh connection. Ensure that the server is running, the user name and password are correct, and the ohter data fields match the server's configuration" when i tried to select database.
If i change server name from to localhost, it allows to select database and does not give any error. but clicking on next button says localhost is not accepted, it needs machine name. Then how to connect to Oracle Data source?
Edited by: User006 on Oct 10, 2012 12:45 PM

It is possible the Oracle db has not been installed correctly, I take this is a personal install on a laptop, if so did you install the loopback adaptor.
Have you tried the connection using the ip of the machine.

I do not see the port information in your connect string. Is that an issue?

Error in Connecting the Oracle Attunity Source in SSIS package

Hi ,
May this question might have been posted before but as far as i am concerned i was not able to find the solution i am looking after , so please help me out on this .
I am using the Oracle Attunity Software to connect to the Oracle source and the Testing is also successful but during Run time the Attunity Oracle source is failing and the Error found was as shown below

Can latest Essbase version connect to Oracle data sources directly?

Hi
As you know in Essbase 9.3.1, you only can connect to any relational database via an ODBC data source and Essabse cannot talk to relational databases directly. Can Essbase 11.1.1 can talk to Oracle database directly or via OCI?
Chandra

Essbase Studio in 11X add jdbc connections, but there is still no "direct" connection. I'm not sure if I would want one. It would imply that Essbase is now tied directly to Oracle databases and we could lose the flexability to connect to other sources.

Report Designer odbc connection string for data source using a parameter

I am using stand alone report designer 3 for the present and have a question/problem regarding the odbc connection string for MySQL when setting up the data-source
I need to be able to enter a parameter which is the database name i.e. BOE-201401 or say BOE-201312 etc from a list of databases the user can choose from.
at present the odbc connection string points to BOE-201402
the connection string is at present Dsn=Development Server for MYsql;description=MYSQL;server=ldndw01;database=BOE-201402;port=3306
my parameter has the name BOE_DATABASE
and in an expression it is as such
=Parameters!BOE_DATABASE.Value
I want to point the datasource for the report to the parameter value before the user sees the report.

Hi Leslie,
Based on your description, we want to design a report with a dynamic DataSource connection string. There are the basic steps below for your reference:
Create report with static database.
Change data source to report parameter.
Send new database connection string as a report parameter.
More detail information, please refer to the following blog: Dynamic Database in SSRS 2008.

Can SQL*Plus connect via ODBC to NON-Oracle data source?????

I am struggling to understand something. I downloaded Oracle instance client, SQL*Plus and ODBC components with the hopes of being able to connect via SQL*Plus to a non-Oracle/ODBC compliant database.
Is this possible? Or is SQL*Plus ability to connect via ODBC only to an Oracle data source??
Thanks...

sqlplus only connects to oracle. you can use the odbc driver from instant client to allow other applications to access oracle via odbc (e.g. excel). if you need to connect to non-oracle odbc database (ms-access, foxpro, etc.) you need odbc driver for those sources.
you can use sqldeveloper to connect to oracle and non-oracle databases. check otn product info for sqldeveloper for more details.

How to define data-sources-alias.xml to use Oracle data source

Hi,
I created Oracle jdbc Data Source named "MYDS" in Visual Admin. I added the alias = MYDS_ALIAS. I set the Initial Connection to 2. On the Monitor tab, I see a green line running across the screen. The datasource MYDS is connected to the Oracle.
Now, I would like to define "data-sources-alias.xml" to use MYDS.
When creating data-source-aliases.xml it creates the alias by default on ${com.sap.datasource.default} which is the default DB.
I followed the link --> How to point data-source-aliases.xml to another Datasource
and my data-sources-alias.xml is now:
<data-source-aliases>
     <aliases>
          <data-source-name>$</data-source-name>
          <alias>BRANCH50DS</alias>
     </aliases>
</data-source-aliases>
The "EAR generatation has finished successfully", but when "Deploy to J2EE Engine", I got the error below:
1) How to define data-sources-alias.xml to use Oracle data source?
2) I found the link (SDA Deployment error) talking about "sda-dd.xml". How to create "sda-dd.xml" and make it use substitution variables "MYDS"

Connecting through Data Source using JNDI

I would like to connect my application to sql server database through data
source using JNDI. But when i try to bind the data source object with the
logical name, i am getting following exception. How can i ger rid of this
error ? How can i provide the initial context ? I thought Java would create the default initial context by itself. But it doesn't seem to be true. Any type of help would be appreciated.

Thanks you very very much for your prompt reply and helping me out. I have following questions.
1) Now i am able to bind data source object to the logical name. But the problem is that whenever i try to look up the data source object by providing logical name (i.e. DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("jdbc/EmployeeDB") ), it returns always null. I don't know why it doesn't return the correct data source object ?
Following is the code used to bind datasource with the logical name
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "file:/TEMP/jndi");
Context ctx = new InitialContext(env);
//Properties p = new Properties();
//p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
// "com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory");
//Context ctx = new InitialContext(p);
ctx.bind("jdbc/EmployeeDB", sds);
Following is the code used to look up for the bound object
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "file:/TEMP/jndi");
Context ctx = new InitialContext(env);
DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("jdbc/EmployeeDB");
2) I am writing client server application in which my client is going to access the SQL Server 2000 to read/write database related data. The reason behind using the JNDI is that i don't want my client application to kwon which driver (sql) and database i am using. It is going to provide the great flexibility whenever i can make my application to use other database like Oracel, sybase, etc. without changing any code most probably. In this situation, which JNDI service provider to use ? I am not sure about "File System" service provider be the ideal choice for this type of situation. so please let me know which JNDI service provider is the ideal for this situation.
Any type of help would be appreacited.

Unable to Connect to the Data Source with Report Builder when using a closed Excel file

I am using Report Builder 3.0 and to get started I am using an Excel spreadsheet as my data source. I set this up just fine. I can connect successfully if the file is open Excel. But if I close the file, I get the error "Unable to
Connect to the data source".
This is my connection string:
Dsn=Licenses;dbq=C:\USERS\AMEADE\DOCUMENTS\licenses.xlsx;defaultdir=C:\USERS\AMEADE\DOCUMENTS;driverid=790;fil=excel 8.0;maxbuffersize=2048;pagetimeout=5
Works fine if the file is open but stops working when the file is closed. Any idea what I can do?

Hi Alice,
Based on my understanding, when you keep the Excel file open, you can connect to the data source correctly. But when you close the Excel file, the error “Unable to Connect to the data source” is thrown out.
In your scenario, I would like to know if only this Excel comes across this issue. Have you experienced the same issue when you use other Excel files as a data source? As we tested in our environment, we can connect to the data source whether the Excel file
is open. You can refer to this
article to create a data source again then check if you can connect to the data source when the Excel file is closed.
If issue persists, I would suggest you use the
Process Monitor to capture the processes during the connection to the data source. Then check the result of each process to find the exact reason.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,

Help with Creating a Oracle Data Source

Hello:
I am trying to create a Oracle Data source.
I was successful in creating a JDBC Conection Pool.
But I am stumped creating a new datasource that uses the Oracle Connection Pool.
It asks for a JNDI Name and I have no clue what I should enter in this box.
Can somebody help me?
Thanks.

Enter whatever name suits you. This is the name you will use when looking up your datasource in the JNDI tree, i.e.
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
DataSource oracleDS = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("myJNDIName");
