Connecting to SQLserver 2005 via Web Analysis using a JDBC driver

We are currently working on a web analysis suite and have been trying to create a SQL spreadsheet data object.
After downloading and supposedly installing the sqljdbc.jar driver, we are having problems getting a connection to MS SQL server 2005.
We set the classpath to this driver in the operating system (Windows server 2003) but are unsure exactly how to set this classpath in Tomcat 5.0.28 as recommended by the help file. We have tried editing the catalina.bat and catalina.50.bat in the \Hyperion\common\appServers\Tomcat\5.0.28\bin folder to point to sqljdbc.jar, but to no avail.
So....does anyone have any experience on setting up the JDBC driver for MSSQLServer 2005 and making a connection in Web Analysis. Could you please give a step by step account of how this is done?

Hi,
In the past I have used two methods either updating the registry for the web application or by placing the jar file in the following directory
\Hyperion\deployments\Tomcat5\WebAnalysis\webapps\WebAnalysis\WEB-INF\lib
If you do place it in that directory you will need to restart the web analysis web server.
Then in web analysis studio go to file > new > database connection >Relational
Select Microsoft SQL Server
JDBC Driver
com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
Connection string
jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://<servername>:1433;DatabaseName=<dbname>;SelectMethod=cursor
Enter username/password
There is always the Merant SQL server connection that can be used as well.
Cheers

Could not connect to the OLAP server web analysis hyperion

I created a document report in Web Analysis with an administrator user then I created a user in the shared services console and granted him access to the report, but entering with this user I can access the report, but receive the following error message: Could not connect to the OLAP server web analysis hyperion.

Is the user having correct provisioning in Essbase? Which version? (older versions, you'll have to synchronize Essbase with HSS)

How connect to oracle RAC via the RSG using port forwarding

Hi all,
I got a problem trying to connect to oracle RAC via the RSG using port forwarding .
on command line i sue to connect :
sqlplus 'username/password@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=firstRACnode)(PORT=1521))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=secondRACnode)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=MSDP)))'
but when using port forwarding i forward the port 1521 to a local port and make ssh to the DB node ( as normal with other nodes but not RAC) but it never work with me for this situation
can any one give me a help ifthere is any changes should be done on the server side , or if any one faced such a problem and found a solution
Thanks,
Prathap.

Step 1
Create a ssh tunnel from local machine to remote db server. Forward any local port (should not be a well known port or a port in the private/dynamic port range) to connect to the database server's listener port. If the ssh tunnel is into the db server itself, the connection (port forwarding) can be on localhost (as the Listener should be listening on it). Alternatively use a public IP of that db server.
Example (using OpenSSH on Ubuntu 9.4):
Local server port 1527 tunneled to port 1521 on database server 192.168.0.100 using o/s account johnd (we connect to port 1521 on db server via 127.0.0.1):
ssh -X -f -N -o ServerAliveInterval=3 -L 1527:127.0.0.1:1521 [email protected]
Step 2
Run sqlplus and connect to the local fowarded port on localhost, using the applicable connection settings (e.g SID/Service Name, etc).
sqlplus scott/tiger@"(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=127.0.0.1)(PORT=1527)) (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=orcl) (SERVER=dedicated)))"Note that the Listener must not hand our connection off - as the case would be when using RAC for example and connecting via a Service Name and not a SID. We need the Listener that accepts our connection to immediately hand us over to the database instance (via either a dedicated server or a shared server dispatcher process).

Down-/Upload files via Web Services using a NON-SAP system!?

Hello,
is it possible to down-/upload files via web services using a NON-SAP system!?
Regards,
Jens

Hi Jens,
I am not sure about your requirement here. What i could understand is that you want to check whether service could handle file processing?
1) Uploading file - You can build a Webservice which has import/export parameters as the file structures and implement the proxy class in such a way that the passed data is written to application server.
2) Downloading file - Same as uploading file, but the proxy class would have the code to extract data from the application server and pass them as output parameter.
Functionality of Non SAP system: The system which calls these services should be able to convert the output of proxy data into file in case of downloading the file and it should be able to convert the file data into export parameters in case of uploading file.
Hope this helps.

Prasanna

Problems showing german special characters using DB2 jdbc driver

Hi JDBC gurus,
In my application the special german characters(umlauts...) are not shown correctly when I'm using IBM jdbc driver(type 2). When I switch to jdbcodbc driver everything is correct. So is there any trick, some connection parameter, some property or something like this? Something like "setCharset" or "umlauts" or something? I could not find anything in web :-(
It is also hard to imagine that nobody has faced this problem. Or it is very trivial...
The second problem:
I have downloaded a new driver (com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver) but when I try to connect with DB I'm getting
com.ibm.db2.jcc.b.SqlException: No license present. What does it mean - no license? I'm going to clear with our DB admin if the reason can be that I have no rights to connect directly with DB without having client installed locally on my PC. This is only what comes to my mind.
Environment:
DB: DB2 7.x
Web-Server: Tomcat 5.x
Hibernate 3.1.x

Actually the problem is ONLY symbol � - scharfes S. Other umlauts are shown correctly...
What is wrong with that symbol????
Many thanks in advance,
Giorgi

How to efficiently use an jdbc driver

Is it supported to use Microsoft JDBC driver use in Java 7 (and 8) multithreaded applications?

Hello everone
is it supported to use Microsoft JDBC driver (the latest version) with Java 7 multithreaded application?
I am planning to use standard Java 7 threads library and use separate JDBC objects per each thread, i.e. Java threads will not share any JDBC objects among them, only the thread-safe Java collections/data structures will be shared between threads (such as
ConcurrentHashMap etc). The JDBC connections, resultsets, statements, etc will be created and dedicated per each individual thread.
If it is supported - do you expect this design to scale-up well or am I better off using multiple but single-threaded Java/JBDC programs to access SQL Server 2012/2014 from Microsoft JDBC driver?
Thanks

Yes, so long as:
> Java threads will not share any JDBC objects among them,
>do you expect this design to scale-up well or am I better off using multiple but single-threaded Java/JBDC programs >to access SQL Server 2012/2014 from Microsoft JDBC driver?
Using threads should scale better than using processes (at least on Windows), as there is quite a bit of overhead with a process. Each process has it's own JRE, it's own GC heap, its own threads...
The bigger question, though, is how this scales on the SQL Server. Your throughput may be limited by resources on your database server, and the thread's workloads may not be able to run concurrently because of locking.

How to use a jdbc driver in caf

Hi, all.
     I tried to make a ws to access DB with CAF, but I had no idea how to use a jdbc driver(.jar).
    Can anyone do me a favor? Thx
    PS: my server is ce7.1
Edited by: Louis HUANG on Jul 27, 2009 1:09 PM

hi
If you want to interact with db tables in caf,try like this.
it may work..
Using EJB call database tables using jdbc driver.
Expose EJB as webservice.
and using External service option of caf utilise this webservice in caf,do the necessary mappings..
you can search in sdn,how to call DB tables in EJB..

Connecting to exchange server via web interface?

Employer's exchange server has IMAP disabled and IT will not consider adding activesync for iPhone 2.0. Using the web interface via Safari is way too hard on an iPhone to be practical except in emergencies.
Question: The new version of Entourage allows for retrieval and sync through a connection to the exchange web interface. It behaves just like it's connected directly to the exchange server, but is hitting exchange's web server.
Is there anything like this for iPhone? Any way to retrieve mail into the native mail application (rather than web app) by polling the exchange web server?

A few things. Neither will give you the functionality you seem to be after.
1) Use Exchange OMA service (text based view via web) very quick compared to the full image web based application. Has read/write functionality but you are not going to want to write an email via this.
2) Outlook 2007 supports http: access. You could use that to pull the data from your work account to say a home PC and sync your iPhone (albeit once a day).
3) Ask them to install iTunes 7.7 on your work PC so you can sync (I think I know how this would go down in a company )

Change the data source connection of existing reports in web analysis

Executing a Job via Web Services using a Server Group?

When executing a job from Designer or from the Management Console you have the option to select a specific job server or a server group.
But when executing a job via Web Services it uses the first job server with which the repository was associated (i.e. the first job server listed in AL_MACHINE_INFO).
Is there a way to get the job to execute using a server group instead simply choosing the first job server in the list?
Note: We are using FIM to execute the jobs via web services and don't have access to additional parameters.

Joe
Here is the where you can change the server group/job server.
- After you add the Batch/real Time job as a webservice.
- Go to the Webservice Batch Job Attribute and from the drop down choose the "Enable job Attributes" and hit apply.
- After this if you use the WSDL URL http://<Data Services Web Server>:<Web server Port>/DataServices/servlet/webservices?ver=2.0&wsdlxml
- You will see the job attributes that you can change based on the allowed parameters mentioned in the documentation.
The batch job or real time job is published without the job parameters by default. Once you enable the job attributes, remove and re publish the batch job as a web service. The application making the call to this webservice should be able to read the WSDL generated by Data services and pickup all the input and output parameters of the method.
Refer to the Data Services Integrator guide (Chapter 3 : pages 25 - 33 ) to get the exact parameter values permitted via Data Services jobs called via web services.
Hope this helps!
Thanks & Regards

Connecting a 2nd TC via USB to act as archive drive

Hi,
I've been playing around with a number of settings which I have mentioned in other posts to extend my Sky+HD wireless router network. In the end I opted to buy a new dual-band TC (2TB) which seems to have cracked the problem of range and also generally improved the overall reception I get throughtout the house. So problem solved...... not quite!
Now, I simply have the issue of having my old TC (1TB) sitting there redundant. I thought it would be a simple exercise to connect this via the USB ports (using a Male to Male USB connection cable) and then have an archive drive which I could periodically back up the new TC to using the Airport Utility "archive" function. However, when I connect the old TC to the new TC, the new TC doesn't seem to recognise it or more specifically it doesn't show up anywhere on my list of shared drives. If I however connect the old TC to the network wirelessly it's recognised (as you would expect), but then it's no linked to the new TC so defeats the object of hard wiring the two together in the first place.
Any guidance on how to setup both TCs would be very much appreciated, as I think I am almost there with my Apple setup.
Kind regards,
Eugene

You'll need to connect the second TC to the first using an ethernet connection. Just run an ethernet cable from one of the LAN <=> ports on your new TC to the WAN (circle of dots) icon on the old TC.
Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup for the old TC
Click the Wireless tab located just below the row of icons and change the Wireless Mode to Off
Click the Internet icon
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Update to save settings and you will have a green light in about 25-30 seconds.

Can't connect using OCI JDBC driver in OC4J 10.1.3.3 standalone

Hi all,
I've recently upgraded my JDev from 10.1.3.2 to 10.1.3.3 and now I'm unable to establish any OCI connections with my local Oracle 10.1.0.4 database. Not even through a connection pool. The strangest thing is that when I test an OCI connection running from JDeveloper it works fine and the JDBC jars and the oci client are exactly the same.
The error is always the same when I execute a test on a connection pool using the OCI driver:
WARNING J2EE DS-00001 Exception occurred testing connection. Exception: java.sql.SQLException: Closed Connection.
If I just change the driver to the THIN one, the same test works. If I take the same URL from the OCI test and use it in a test class and run it inside JDeveloper, it works also.
I've even downloaded the instant client 10.1.0.5 (which happens to be exactly the same version of the JDBC driver that comes with JDev 10.1.3.3) and tried to use it with no success.
THIN connections are working just fine. The problem happens only when I try to connect via OCI and this problem was not happening in version 10.1.3.2.
Any help?

I found the cause of this problem. It turns out that you must be very careful with the environment variable ORACLE_HOME. On Windows, normally, we don't even set this variable because most applications are able to get it from the system's registry.
Well, it happened that I've edited the script start_oc4j.bat and, for organization reasons, I set the ORACLE_HOME variable with my JDeveloper's home directory (which is the same as my OC4J standalone's). By doing that, I kind of confused the OCI client. Once I removed the "set ORACLE_HOME=C:\JDev" line from the script, everything worked just fine again.
So, always remember: avoid setting environment variable ORACLE_HOME when using Windows and, if you must set it, be sure to do it right.
Regards,
Eduardo.

Connection reset by peer:/Broken pipe using JTurbo JDBC Driver

I am using the JTurbo JDBC driver to connect to a SQL Server 7.0 database. I am using Connection Pooling. After roughly an hour or so, I am no longer to get connections from the pool. Exceptions thrown are "connection reset by peer", followed by "Broken pipe" exceptions on every subsequent getConnection call.
Has anyone found a successfull resolution to this problem using the JTurbo JDBC driver for SQL Server 7.0? I have tried the "autoReconnection=true" option on the URL string for the driver, but this has had no effect.
I am running the Resin app server, version 1.2.7, on Solaris 8 and connecting to a SQL Server database running on NT 4.0. The JVM on Solaris where the servlet is running is 1.3.1.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I do not have an idea about your application server but i do know how i solved it in weblogic. Just see whether this is helpful to you.
Points to be sure of........
1) Make sure that when ever you request a connection from a pool, after you are done with it return it. If you are not returning it and trying to use that reference again, this problem will occur.
2) Look at the capabilities of your app server. Set the connection pool such that
a) All the connections are checked at regular interval with some default select statement from any table in the database.
b) Connections are check when the connection is checked out and returned to the pool.
I the connection object is not ready , close it and create a new one. The app server which manages the pool should implement these feature so that when you get the connection - its the tested and working object.
If your app server does not support - then think of ways you testing it before you using it(Anyway this is not the good solution).

Hi. I don't see our code anywhere in the stacktrace, but I'll assume
it's there somewhere. The basic fact is that our MS SQLServer driver
implements practically zero of the JDBC 2.0 methods. There is a way
to connect to this driver that has the methods defined, but then all
the difference will be that you'll get an exception saying 'this jdbc 2.0
method not implemented'.
