Hi,
Need to know which is the best way to connect to sqlserver2000 database from oracle. [this connection will be use purly for backend processing only not for frontend]
Scenario: need to fetch/insert/update the data present on sqlserver2000.

SQL Connect problem - migration from Oracle 7.3.4 to Oracle 8.0.6

Our development environment has just been upgraded from HP10.20
to HP11 and the database from Oracle 7.3.4.0 to Oracle 8.0.6.0.
I am now having problems with one of the PRO*C programs. The old
executable( compiled in the old enviroment HP10/Oracle734) is
working fine in the new environment. But after I successfully re-
compiled this program in the new environment, the new executable
is not working and stops at the statement: 'EXEC SQL CONNECT:
userid'. I have checked the userid and Oracle settings, they are
correct. Right after the EXEC SQL, I've tried checking the
status of connection, but it never gets there. The
only change to the make file is using
$(ORACLE8_HOME)/precomp/lib/env_precomp.mk instead of using
$(ORACLE7_HOME)/precomp/env_precomp.mk
Other PRO*C programs which are using exactly the same connecting
statemment are working fine.
Anyone have any ideas, I would appreciate them?
Thanks,

I am upgrading with precisely the same varaibles that you encountered
and am receiving the same inability to do a simple CONNECT with
Pro*C. Were you able to resolve this problem? If so, please reply
with some guidance.
Thank you.

How to get connected to OIPM from Oracle WebCenter Document Capture

Hi,
How we get connected from Oracle WebCenter Document Capture(ODC) to Oracle WebCenter Cintent:Imaging (OIPM). OIPM is 11g and ODC is 10g. Pls suggest any doc or link.
Thanks and Warm Regards,
RR.

Reading your previous question once again, now I think you have actually asked a simpler question than I answered to. Is it that you just need to anyhow send data from ODC to IPM?
If so, it is a standard functionality of ODC, called Commit Profile. I have never worked with IPM, but there is one to UCM and it works the way that you use administrator's login (such as sysadmin in 10g or weblogic in 11g) for authentication and then you map ODC user to a metadata field (in UCM there is a mandatory field called dDocAuthor and there should be value of an existing user; but you can you the administrator here as well, if ODC user info is not important for you). I believe IPM will behave similar.
What you have to check, whether commit profiles are available for IPM 11g, but I believe they are.
As for the documentation, the link I mentioned before contains both installation and configuration manual, so you should find all the info there.

How to get connected MS SQL from Oracle

I need to connect MS SQL Server (MSDE exactly) to Oracle 8.1.7
and operate it from Oracle side (some clever data imports from
client's sql server machine to bigger Oracle server). I tried to
use ODBC from client to oracle and works fine, but I need "the
other way". Any Ideas?
Please help,

Hi,
You can download the 11.1.0.7 patchset from My Oracle Support -
support.oracle.com
as patch 6890831.
Once logged in click on 'Patches and Updates' and enter the patch number as 6890831 and choose whichever platform you are running.
the readme explains how to apply the patch to an existing 11.1.0.6 install.
The url you posted is only for complete product installs, but 11.1.0.7 is only a patchset that must be applied to an existing install.

Trying to connect to AS400 from Oracle = ORA-28545

Hello,
I woul like to connect to an AS400 DB from an Oracle DB (OS: Windows Server 2003 SP2 - 32 bits, DB: Oracle DB 10g Release 10.2.0.1.0).
To that, I have done the following steps:
1) Create System DSN
Name: AS400_DTA
Driver: iSeries Access ODBC Driver
2) Edit tnsnames.ora:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = AS400_DTA)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\bise1\db)
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = HOST)(PORT = 1521))
3) Edit listener.ora:
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = AS400_DTA)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\bise1\db)
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
4) create initAS400_DTA in D:\oracle\bise1\db\hs\admin:
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = AS400_DTA)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\bise1\db)
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
5) Restart the listener
6) Create DB link:
create public database link AS400_DTA connect to "user" identified by "pwd" using 'AS400_DTA';
In this step I have the following error:
Link : "CRPDTA.REGRESS.RDBMS.DEV.US.ORACLE.COM"
Error : ORA-28545: error diagnosticado por Net8 al conectar a un agente
Unable to retrieve text of NETWORK/NCR message 65535
ORA-02063: 2 lines precediendo a DTA
What I am doing wrong? How can I solve the issue?
How can I test the ODBC drivers to ensure that connectivity is made to the AS400 database?
If I execute > tnsping AS400_DTA, the result is:

I appreciate any idea/suggestion.
Thank you in advance!

Monica,
The error reported from the tnsping is -
Adaptador TNSNAMES utilizado para resolver el alias
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.18.125.103)(PORT = 1521))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = AS400_CRPDTA)) (HS = OK))
TNS-12541: TNS:no hay ningún listener
so looks like a problem with the listener and it is also reporting the SID as AS400_CRPDTA and not AS400_DTA as you have in the tnsnames.ora. Are you accessing the correct tnsnames.ora file ?
Also, the listener.ora entry is -
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = HOST)(PORT = 1521))
Are you using the actual host name in the HOST entry instead of (HOST = HOST) ?
What is the output from issuing -
lsncrtl
then the 'status' and 'services' command ?
And an obvious question - did you stop and start the listener after adding the new entry ?
Also, this is completely incorrect -
4) create initAS400_DTA in D:\oracle\bise1\db\hs\admin:
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = AS400_DTA)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\bise1\db)
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
The initAS400_DTA.ora file should only have these entries -
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFORMATION =AS400_DTA
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=debug
And finally, 10.2 HSODBC is now desupported and you should install and use the replacement product which is the 11g Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC).
The following note has links to further information -
Note.1083703.1 Master Note for Oracle Gateway Products
If you want to continue to use HSODBC then refer to this note -
Note 109730.1 How to setup generic connectivity (HSODBC) for Windows NT
but we strongly recommend you install and use DG4ODBC so that you are on a fully supported version.

Mike

Connect Sql Server From Oracle Both on Windows

I want to connect my SQL Server running on Windows2003 with my oracle database 10g which is also on windows through some odbc which i have also created on my machine running oracle 10g. Can some one guide me with simple steps.

Generally most folks use OLEDB rather than ODBC for that.
If you have Metalink access, check out the following note:

Connecting SQL server from Oracle 11g

Hello,
I know there are several threads available to this post but please help me in
*step by step process to follow in connecting 2 servers.
I tried everything in internet but got Connection closed error after tnsping of DNS name. Do i need to run any instance sort of thing in SQL server?
I dont have any access on SQL server.Whatever i have to do that has to be only in Oracle server.I got all those information and created ODBC (using SQL server driver) and tested the connection successfully in Oracle server. Altered INIT*.ORA,TNSNAMES.ORA and LISTENER.ORA but when pinging TNS awfully getting the afore said error.

Need help!

Hi,
Did you check the address you use in the listener.ora: 192.168.1.16 is the address of Oracle Server and not from MS SQL SERVER?
Or try to modify to get that:
LISTENERMSSQLDSN =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =

ORA-28500 and ORA-02063 while connecting MySQL from Oracle-

Dear All,
My Database is Oracle 11gR2 Rac of 2 nodes and on Linux 64-Bit operating system.
Version of my MySQL database is 5.5.17 it is on Linux 32-Bit operating system.
I am trying to connect MySQL database from Oracle database using a database link.
These are the step by step process that I am following to achieve my target. All my processes are on one node of Oracle RAC.

5) Now I edit listener.ora file and add the entry. After entry my listener.ora file is like this:
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = LISTENER))

(SID_NAME = test)
(ENVS=LD_LIBRARY_PATH = /usr/local/lib:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/lib)
6) After these entries the listener status after RESTART is as following:

7) Then in the tnsnames.ora file I added the following entry:

(CONNECT_DATA =

(HS = OK)
When i tnsping test, it works.
8) I edit the .bash_profile file for Oracle
ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_BASE were already pointing to the correct destination, I added:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/lib:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/hs/lib:/usr/lib64:/usr/lib

ODBCINI=/etc/odbc.ini
export ODBCINI
ODBCINSTINI=/etc/odbc.ini
export ODBCINSTINI
ODBCSYSINI=/etc
export ODBCSYSINI
9) Then i configured $ORACLE_HOME/hs/admin/inithsodbc.ora
And Modified these lines:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = test
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = ON
HS_FDS_TRACE_FILE_NAME = odbc_test.log

10) Then i created a database link with the following command:
Create public database link test connect to test identified by test using ‘test’;
I tried username and password in database link with double quotes also.
11) Now Finally when I try to select records from mysql table:
select count(*) from "table"@"test"; -- I have tried with and without double quotes
I get the following error:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
ORA-02063: preceding line from TEST
How to get through this error, and how to check logs for HS?
Your help is required.
Regards, Imran

Hi,
In your listener.ora for the DG4ODBC entry you had -
(ENVS=LD_LIBRARY_PATH = /usr/local/lib:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/lib)
but this should also include the path for the driver manager directory which in your case is /usr/lib64 so could you add this ?
The error -
Failed to load ODBC library symbol: /usr/lib64/libmyodbc3.so(SQLSetDescRec)
indicates the /usr/lib64 directory cannot be accessed.
The entry should then look like -
(SID_DESC =
<space>(PROGRAM = dg4odbc)
<space>(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1)
<space>(SID_NAME = test)
<space>(ENVS=LD_LIBRARY_PATH = /usr/local/lib:/usr/lib64:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/lib)
<space>)
The spaces may have bene lost when posting but there should be at least one space in the file as indicated by the <space>.
After making the change then stop and start the listener.
If you still have problems then please post again the current versions of the configuration files, the full errors shown in SQLPLUS for a select and the output from a debug trace showing the errors.
The information shows you are using the 3.51 MySQL ODBC driver so could you also try with the latest version of the 5.1 driver and see if you have the same problem ?

Mike
