Create Heterogeneous Services Initialization File

Hello, I am new to oracle as I am a student. I have installed Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Enterprise Edition.
I want to use a Microsoft Excel file as a source file. In the help center it says that I must create the Heterogeneous Services Initialization File in a specific directory using these commands: HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = odbc_excel
HS_AUTOREGISTER = TRUE
HS_DB_NAME = dg4odbc
My question is where should I run these commands ?
If I have to do it in SQL Plus, how do I go to the specific path? When SQL Plus opens it just writes SQL> and I dont know how I can go to the path I want to so I can run the commands.
I can go through the Command Prompt but it obviously doesn't recognize these commands.
Any answer would be enlightening. Thanks.

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/owb.112/e10582/loading_ms_data.htm
You do not need to run the command from Sql*Plus
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = odbc_excel
HS_AUTOREGISTER = TRUE
HS_DB_NAME = dg4odbc
You need to create initexcelsid.ora file in the OWB_HOME\hs\admin directory with the above listing

Oracle Heterogeneous Services to create link With Excel spreadsheet.

Hi
Please adivse how to use "Oracle Heterogeneous Services" to create a database link from Oracle to the Excel spreadsheet.

Dear Anwar,
I'm using XPSP2 10gR2Enterprise
SID=ORCL
host=andor (my PC's name)
Pls help me. I'm struggling with HS also so I've followed your lines, meaning:
I can create the database link, but cannot retrieve data from source. (see 7.)
1a. I have created the Excel file c:\EXCL.xls
NEV DATUM BOOL NUMBER
Stefán Balázs 09.nov TRUE 0
Sebestyén Dénes 10.nov TRUE -11
Tóth Andor 11.nov FALSE 12.3
c: is partition on the same server where 10g sits.
1b. I've created an ODBC system DSN for this excel file, named EXCL.
2. tnsnames.ora has bee nupdated by this:
ORCL =

HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = EXCL
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 0
Listener restarted.
5. in iSQLPlus:
SQL> CREATE DATABASE LINK excl USING 'excl';
Database link created.
6. in Enterprise Manager there is a Database Link:
     database links: EXCL.REGRESS.RDBMS.DEV.US.ORACLE.COM
service name: excl
7. testing the database link says:
The Database Link is not active.
ORA-28545: .Unable to retrieve text of NETWORK/NCR message 65535... ORA-02063: previous 2 lines from EXCL
Please help me to get over this.

Heterogeneous Services & Oracle Generic Connectivity For DBF file?

Dear All,
Can We Create dbf file directly means without using CSV file?
Can we use Heterogeneous Services & Oracle Generic Connectivity for creating dbase DBF file or Writing in dbase DBF file?
I have used it for Excel and Access for connectivity with Oracle 9i
but I dont have any idea about dbase DBF file?
Any help in this reagards will be highly appriciatalble.
Thanks
Rana

HSODBC/DG4ODBC is generic connectivity and you find the generic setup in:
Note.109730.1 How to setup generic connectivity (HSODBC) for 32 bit Windows (Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003)
There is nothing sepcial for DBF's. Just define a system ODBC DSN using a DBASE ODBC driver pointing to the DBF file.
The rest is absolute similar to the note.
If you have already a running HSODBC/DG4ODBC the quickest test is to just define a new system dsn for the DBF file, then change in the init>hsodbc/dg4odbc>.ora file the HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO parameter pointing to the newly created system DSN. Last step is within the Oracle db to define a database link.

I wouldn't think so these days ... however, you could try posting this in the heterogeneous services - which is somewhere on OTN.
If it we me, I'd convert the DBF into something easier to use with Oracle : like XML or CSV

ITS 620 - how to create a service file for SAPGUI for HTML option

Hi,
We have the following configuration :
ITS 620 installed
IIS webserver
NTLM Authentication on webserver
SAP 46C
We have some reports that use the IACs option of creating ITS reports and we are able to create the service files using webstudio where we can save a service id and password so that when the ITS page is called, it logs on the user directly into the system.
Now, we are trying to create a new ITS page for a custom Z transaction and would like to use the SAPGUI for HTML option so that we do not have to use Webstudio to create and modify the HTML pages.
When I call the ITS page for the new transaction, it brings up the logon screen for the user, which we want to avoid. If I create a new service file for this Z transaction without any HTML pages then I get an error.
Is there a way to copy the WEBGUI.SRVC file to a custome SRVC file, I tried to create to copy it to a test file called ZTEST.SRVC for my test transaction called ZTEST and now I get an error.
thanks in advance
N.S.

Hello N.S.
You can create a service file, like ZSERVICE.SRVC. The parameters should be:
~webgui 1
~transaction ztransaction
~client 001
~login username
~password password
~language EN
The "~webgui 1" allows the ITS to use the Webgui to dynamically generate the page (no IAC needed.)
The "~transaction" is the transaction code of your service.
The "~client" is the client number.
The "~login" is the username.
The "~password" is the user's password.
the "~language" is the language for the users.
Note that the last four are required for automatic logon. If end users use a variety of languages though the ~language can be prepended to the URL to support different languages. (Leave it blank in the srvc file then.)

How to use a excel file to create a service component?

Dear all,
I want to use a excel file to create a service to be my data source. I used the wizard to do that but i always got a message. "The data format is not valid, fields in each record must be delimited by tab charactors, and each record seperated by new line charactors". How should I reformat my excel file to fit the requirements? I have already chang the field`s format into 'text' type. Thx ^^

Hi Louis,
[Here|http://img125.imageshack.us/my.php?image=exceltestlo7.jpg] is the result of your data. I downloaded your excel sheet and created a simulated service in 7.1.1 and it works fine.
Below are the steps:
1. Go to Tools -> service component wizard
2. The popup opens : Step1 : Enter the name of your service component
3. Go to Excel spreadsheet Copy the data for which the service needs to be created.
4. Step 2 : Paste the copied Excel data in the popup
5. Step 3 : Define Input -> just click next
6. Step 4: Define Conditions -> just click finish.
Let me know if it helps.
Good Luck,
Dharmi

How to create a service to UPLOAD / DOWNLOAD and send emails with files?

Good afternoon!
I need to create a service that sends files via email or FTP, and a service to upload / download files on a server.
I see on the internet does not have much aid to make it in the ADF.
Could someone send me some links, documentation, so I can get the job done?
Thank you,
Lewis.

"I see on the internet does not have much aid to make it in the ADF." - You are kidding - do you?!
1) Google: ADF Faces file upload
2) Google: ADF Faces image download
3) Google: ADF send mail
I get all the relevant hits (documentation and blog entries) by using these 3 queries in Google.
If you mean "Web Service" by "Service" then better - just Google for Web Service and image handling to find information on this. You don't use ADF to build Web Services, which is why you need to express your search criteria different

Hi,
The gateway file initMYSQL_LOCAL.ora should be placed in the directory -
$ORACLE_HOME\hs\admin
which is the expected location. In your setup this should be -
C:\app\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\hs\admin
If the file is already in that location then make sure that in the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora that in each section every line except the first line starts with at least one space -
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
<space>(SID_LIST =
<space>(SID_DESC =
LISTENER =
<space>(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
Tnsnames.ora
MYSQL_LOCAL =
<space>(DESCRIPTION =
<space>(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
However, there is also a problem with the tnsnames.ora file. You have -
Tnsnames.ora
MYSQL_LOCAL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = MYSQL_LOCAL)
(HS = OK)
) <=== move this bracket
but it should be -
Tnsnames.ora
MYSQL_LOCAL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = MYSQL_LOCAL)
) <=== bracket moved here
(HS = OK)
Of course, with spaces as shown above. They are often lost in the forums.
You may also need to change -
(HOST = localhost)
to -
(HOST = <actual host name>)
but it depends on your setup.
Try these changes and let me know what happens.
Regards,
Mike

Most likely the issue is that the deployment profile is not assembling all the required components, in this case EJB which was exposed as the Web Service.
I also notice that you are deploying to 10.1.2 OC4J, these labs are designed to work with OC4J 10.1.3 Developer preview3 (DP3) not OC4J 10.1.2
Make sure you are deploying to OC4J 10.1.3 DP3, and also double check your deployment profile to make sure all the required components are assembled.

Do you have all of your parameter files set up correctly?
You need to have a hsora file in the hs/admin directory for ioi for instance, initioiDB.ora. In this file you need to set up your hs init parameters. This is an example of what's in one of mine:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = Mapics
HS_DB_NAME = MAPICS
HS_DB_DOMAIN = WORLD
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = ON
The you need to have an entry in the tnsnames.ora file in the network/admin directory for hsodbcxtrad. The sid should be set to ioiDB.
You can find documentation on how to manage heterogenous services in the online documentation.
Managing Heterogenous Services Using Generic Connectivity
Hope this helps
Eric
I have been trying to set up a database link between Oracle and SQL Server, currently both on the same Windows NT machine.
I managed to create the link as follows:
CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK ioi
CONNECT TO IOItest IDENTIFIED BY mba
USING 'hsodbcxtrad';
The link is created successfully.
I then try to run a query and get the following error :
select * from dealer@ioi
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[Generic Connectivity Using ODBC]DRV_InitTdp: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server
Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user '\'. (SQL State: 28000; SQL Code:
18456)
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from IOI
I have added a UID and PWD to the registry settings for the SQL Server DSN but this makes no difference. Do I need to specify a username and password somewhere else ?
Thanks

Synchronization Failed. Error is Firefox service initialization failed.

Synchronization Failed. Error is Firefox service initialization failed.
Synchronization Failed. Error is Firefox service initialization failed.<br />
I have been having this issue for quite some time with Firefox. I am using the Nightly build (23.0a1) and have been using for more than 2 years. Synchronization was working fine till a few weeks ago. Synchronization of XMarks on Chrome Dev works fine and no problem. It's only with Firefox. Things I've tried but no success:
1) I deleted my profile off of xmarks and created a new one and tried syncing again. No success.<br />
2) deleted firefox, deleted the profile folder under AppData. Reinstalled everything fresh, and still no success.<br />
My log file shows the following... Not sure what to check. Anyone help me? Thanks!

Re Patrick's suggestion above, I was able to get Xmarks working again on both my Win 7 laptop and desktop today by uninstalling my Aurora browser completely and then installing the regular release version of Firefox, 20.0.1.
When I uninstalled Aurora, it asked me if I wanted to keep my customizations and personal data, and even though it meant a bit more restoration work later, I decided to try erasing all my Aurora settings and data and starting fresh. (But before doing so, I backed up all my bookmarks by exporting to an html file and my add-on settings via Firefox Sync.
After that, I installed and started with a clean slate version of regular Firefox, and proceeded to then reinstall my various add-ons and import my saved bookmarks from the html file. As soon as I re-installed Xmarks and re-logged into my Xmarks account, the automatic syncing process went fine and no more error messages or failures.
I had been using Aurora for months prior with Xmarks and never had any syncing problem until the first week of April. And at that point, the syncing function broke on both my laptop and desktop, which were both running the daily updated versions of Aurora. So I'm believing that something was changed in Aurora that caused this problem.

About Oracle Heterogeneous Services and Oracle Gateway

Hi All,
I am very new at this topic, I want to know:
1)Oracle Heterogeneous Services and Oracle Gateway same or not?Need license or not?
2)If want Creating Database Link from Oracle 11g to Sybase AS 15.5 Using Oracle Heterogeneous Services what drivers should I install from my pc(windows 7) and from my server(Linux red hat 5)?please give me link for this
3)Is there any link Step by step to configure odbc until creating dblink?
4)what more convenient, connect sybase from Oracle Heterogeneous Services or Oracle Gateway?
Thank you so much for your help
Regards
JOE

Joe,
let copy/paste your questions and comment inline:
1)Oracle Heterogeneous Services and Oracle Gateway same or not?Need license or not?
Let me first clarify one thing, heterogeneous services is the generic mechanism in the Oracle database used by all gateways. The product you are talking about is the Database Gateway for ODBC or the Database Gateway for Sybase.
The Database Gateway for ODBC is available for Linux and Windows. It is the free product which does not require an Oracle license. The license is included in your database license. It is a generic gateway which allows you to connect with any suitable 3rd party ODBC driver to a matching foreign database. As it is a generic connectivity which aloows you to connect to real databases but also to MS Excel or even Text files as long as you have a suitable ODBC driver, its capability is very limited.
The more powerful gateway is the Database Gateway for Sybase. It covers the same functionality as DG4ODBC but it allows you also to work with distributed transactions, it allows you to call remote Sybase stored procedures etc. This gateway is design for Sybase ASE connections, so it is also able to map certain Oracle functions to Sybase equivalents. This Database Gateway for Sybase is NOT for free, it requires an additional license.
2)If want Creating Database Link from Oracle 11g to Sybase AS 15.5 Using Oracle Heterogeneous Services what drivers should I install from my pc(windows 7) and from my server(Linux red hat 5)?please give me link for this
That depends on your preferences. Both gateways are available for Linux and for Windows. When using DG4ODBC you only need to pay attention that you get a suitable 3rd party ODBC driver for this platform with the matching word size (64bit for 64bit DG4ODBC and 32bit ODBC driver for installations of DG4ODBC on 32bit platforms).
The latest software release is currently 11.2.0.3 and it can be downloaded (and installed from scratch) from "My Oracle Support". Just open the Patches & Updates section, look for Patch 10404530: 11.2.0.3.0 PATCH SET FOR ORACLE DATABASE SERVER and make sure to choose the platform you want to use. Then check out the readme as it lists which of these download CD's contains the gateway software.
BTW, the CD contains DG4ODBC and DG4SYBS and it is up to you to decide during the installation which product you want to use.
3)Is there any link Step by step to configure odbc until creating dblink?
The ODBC driver installation differs from vendor to vendor and platform to platform - so we don't have a specific note how to configure the ODBC driver. This kind of question is better handled by the ODBC driver vendor.
Regarding the set up of DG4ODBC on Windows you find suitable information in the knowledge base on My Oracle Support. Just look for:
How to Configure DG4ODBC (Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC) on Windows 32bit to Connect to Non-Oracle Databases Post Install          [Document 466225.1]
and for DG4SYBS:
How to Configure DG4SYBS (Oracle Database Gateway for Sybase) on 64bit Unix (Linux, AIX, HP-UX Itanium and Solaris) Post Install          [Document 437696.1]
How to Setup DG4SYBS (Database Gateway for Sybase) on a 64bit Windows          [Document 1319852.1]
4)what more convenient, connect sybase from Oracle Heterogeneous Services or Oracle Gateway?
It really depends on your needs. DG4SYBS is surly easier to install as this gateway comes with everything you need and you do not have to find a suitable ODBC driver nor get the ODBC driver working. It is also more powerful as you can for example use triggers that replicate data changes in an Oracle database to the Sybase database within the same transaction. When you want to call Sybase stored procedures you can also do that with DG4SYBS. So it really depends on your needs.

Oracle Heterogenous Services

Hi all!
I want to access and query an excel file's data stored in my system in SQL PLUS using oracle Heterogenous Services. I am using 11g database
I done
1. registering odbc DSN name as: cars Driver: Microsoft Excel Driver
2. modified "initdg4odbc.ora" file with following parameters:
# This is a sample agent init file that contains the HS parameters that are
# needed for the Database Gateway for ODBC
# HS init parameters
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = cars
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 0
HS_FDS_TRACE_FILE_NAME = hsmsql.trc
# Environment variables required for the non-Oracle system
#set <envvar>=<value>
3. modified tnsnames.ora as
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: D:\app\node1\product\11.1.0\db_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora

5. created database link:
CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK "LNK" USING 'cars';
6. Finally rebooted the system to get the parameters intialized, and run the query:
