check your process, you probably have one called mysql. There's probably a windows services starting it, order them by status and you will find the one starting mysql

Implementing active data service proxy for MySQL database

Hi,
I am referring "Oracle Fusion Developer Guide - Building rich Internet Application..." to implement Active data Service to update Af:Table for any change in the MySQL database.
The book discusses of a class which extends ADS "BaseActiveDataModel" which should handle starting and stopping of active listener and listener registration.
1. Does this class is sufficient to detect changes coming from MySQL database or is it specific to Oracle database?
2. Also the book does not discuss about the code for starting stopping or registering active listeners. Can someone guide me to some reference material or to a right place which explains me what kind of code does these methods require?
3. Also I wonder if anyone knows, if we can differentiate between events generated from different database tables. (I guess we need to do that by using 'instanceof' operator and comparing ViewObjects from my project).
(Just trying to develop my understanding around various ADF concepts.)
Thanks!!
(Have also referred http://technology.amis.nl/2012/06/18/notifying-adf-applications-of-database-changes-fast-and-lean-using-database-query-result-change-notification-part-one/
not sure if that's the way I need to register the listener. ADF should have made that easy.)

How to get data from MySQL into Analysis Services Tabular Model

Hi,
I have a problem with Analysis Services Tabular Model and MySQL ... I have to use several MySQL databases as a source of Tabuar Model ..
Is there any way to get connection working from Tabular Model to retrieve data from MySQL database. I have a situation that in MySQL server there is several databases with same schema, one for each customer. I have planned to join these customer databases
to one Tabular Model, create roles and users for each customer to query their data.
What do I have to do to get this working ?
Pasi

Hi ,
In Tabular model out of the box there is no direct connectors available for MySQL. Please see the list of supported Data Sources
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg492165.aspx
But i think if you can establish a ODBC connectivity with data source to MYSQL , you can use the ODBC connection to retrieve the data from MySQL. Please try this and post the results here if it is possible or not.

Php data service with something other than localhost for mysql

Hello
I'm trying to use an external host as an mysql source.
I've used the 'generate from template' option and filled it out with the correct data.
The php code is on my localhost on my mac.
I've made a testfile in php to test my service and it seems to work and get the data from the database.
But flashbuilder doesn't see an operation and when I try to refresh it says:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: protocol = http host = null
I get the same error if I try to 'generate from database' and I click the 'connect database' button.
in the hostname field, I've tried the url to the server and also the IP (in case of a DNS problem), but either of them generate the same error.
I hope some one can help me, so I can really start trying out the new data services.
Thanks

Thanks for replying, it works now!
At first I got the error below, but after putting a ZendFramework folder in the /Library/Webserver/Documents folder my settings got accepted.
Warning: require_once(Zend/Loader/Autoloader.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Users/johan/Sites/test/tempgateway.php on line 27
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'Zend/Loader/Autoloader.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/Library/WebServer/Documents/ZendFramework/library') in /Users/johan/Sites/test/tempgateway.php on line 27
I think this is some kind of bug too, since I let the project wizard create a local ZendFramework folder in my project automatically, but it did not get used.
It would really be great to have the webroot on a remote server through ftp or maybe afp in a private network to the remote server, but with only tapping into the remote database already solves a lot of problems for the workflow.
In order to make this work (mysql remote connection) one should create a user on the mysql server with host '%' instead of 'localhost'.
Since this is not very secure, you could also set the host to your external IP (if its not dynamic), or give that user only rights to your testdatabase.

Strange scenario,Oracle can not display the data in mysql correctly

I use Heterogeneous Service+ODBC to achieve "oracle access mysql"(any other method?),and now i find Oracle can not display the data in mysql correctly:
-------mysql------------
mysql> create table tst(id int,name varchar(10));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> insert into tst values(1,'a');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from tst;
------------+
| id | name |
------------+
| 1 | a |
------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> show create table tst\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
Table: tst
Create Table: CREATE TABLE `tst` (
`id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
`name` varchar(10) DEFAULT NULL
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
-------------oracle ------------------
SQL> select count(*) from "tst"@mysql;
COUNT(*)
49
SQL> select * from "tst"@mysql;
id
1
SQL> desc "tst"@mysql;
Name Null? Type
id NUMBER(10)

You can make the following query on the result page:
"select * from the_table where movietitle = ? and cinema = ?"
then you set movietitle and cinema to those which the user selected. If the resultset contains more than 0 rows, that means the movie is available.
Below is the sample code, it assumes you have a connection to the database:
PreparedStatement stat = myConnection.prepareStatement("select * from the_table where movietitle = ? and cinema = ?");
stat.setString(1, usersMovieTitleSelection);
stat.setString(2, usersCinemaSelection);
ResultSet res = stat.executeQuery();
if (res.next()) {
out.print("The movie is available");
} else {
out.print("The movie is not available");
}Now just add that to your JSP page. Enjoy ! =)

Error while running a job in Data services

We are using Data services BO XI R3 tool.
We have created datastore for Oracle database 8i using Microsoft ODBC DSN. This is the source datastore.
When job is to pull the data from source to 10g target, we get the below error in log file:

Is this a UNIX/Windows error?
Please let us know how this can be resolved.
Thanks in advance!

I restart the jobserver and it work, for a moment :P, but now says more...

I check if mysql DB has thas tables (they were created when I setup DS), but i don't know why this erros says No database selected the odbc file looks correct...

MS Access 2003 and Data Services 3.0

I want to access MS Access 2003 from Aqualogic Data Services 3.0. The documentation tells me that Aqualogic Data Services 3.0 supports MS Access 2003
I read the "Extending Database Support" from the Administration Guide to deploy the xml file ... I did it successful!
But I can't configure the data source in the console to point to Access2003. How can I do it?

Thank you Mike for the answer.
The aqualogic Data Services release 3 support MS Access 2003, as you can verify in "Relational Providers Included With ALDSP" in this manual:
http://edocs.bea.com/aldsp/docs30/admin/aldsp-wrapper-ext.html#wp1134932
In the http://localhost:7001/console, when I go to the "Create a New JDBC Data Source", only those DB appears in the Database Type: "adabas for z/OS, CICS/TS for z/OS, Cache, Cloudscape, DB2, DB2 for z/OS, Derby, Enterprise DB, FirstSQL, IMS/DB for z/OS, IMS/TM for z/OS, Informix, Ingres, MS SQL Server, MaxDB, MySQL, Oracle, PointBase, PostgreSQL, Progress, Sybase, VSAM for z/OS , Other".
But the "MS Access 2003" didn't appears in this menu. The MS-Access.jar file was copied into ALDSP\provider path, and another items was created succesfully as shown in the "Deploying the rational provider" in http://edocs.bea.com/aldsp/docs30/admin/aldsp-wrapper-ext.html#wp1136406
I wants to create the datasource for MSAccess 2003. How can I do it?

Unable to create records in database using PHP Data Service

Hello, I've been stuck on this for a few days and search up and down for this on the net, no response I've found has worked, so I come to you...
Here are the steps I've taken, I think it's pretty standard
1. I have a macbook pro running osx 10.7.3
2. I installed MAMP all default (I've acually reinstalled this because someone suggested this might fix it)
3. Thru phpMyAdmin I created a database called my_test
4. In that database I created a table, this is the export of that table: (I've also tried this with InnoDB which is the default)
CREATE TABLE `customer` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`name` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
`email` varchar(150) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE KEY `id` (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;
5. I created a new Flx Project (Running Flash Builder 4.5.1 Premium)
     Project Name: PHPTest
     Application Type: Desktop (Although I've done the same thing with Web and got the same results)
     >> Next
     Application Server Type: PHP
     Web Root: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/
     URL Root: http://localhost:8888/
     Clicked 'Validate Configuration' and that worked
     Output Folder: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/PHPService (default by Flash Builder)
     >> Finished
6. On the Data/Services tab on the bottom I click 'Connect to Data/Service...'
     Select 'PHP'
     >> Next
     Select 'Click here to generate a sample'
     Select 'Generate from database' radio button
     Username: root
     Password: root (default for MAMP)
     Host name: localhost
     Server port: 8889 (default for MAMP MySQL port, the HTTP port default is 8888 which in both cases seem to work but every video I've seen that uses MAMP on youtube uses 8889)
     Database: my_test
     Click 'Test Connection' (works)
     Table: customer
     Primary Key: id (this field is greyed out and Flash Builder selects 'id' which it figures out from the SQL table)
     >> Click OK
7. Then if I don't have the Zend Framework folder in my /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/ folder it tells me its going to create that and I say alright. Then Flash Builder says stuff about how this is really only for testing and not production server ready and I say alright.
8. Then it takes me back to the Form from Step 6 when I get the chance to select 'Click here to generate a sample'
     These fields are now filled with this data automaticly:
     PHP Class: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/PHPTest/services/CustomerService.php
     Service name: CustomerService
     Service package: services.customerservice
     Data type package: valueObjects
     >> Click Next (shows all the functions that will be now availible)
     >> Click Finished (End of the forms and it opens Dreamweaver to the php file it created CustomerService.php which I have no need to edit so I close that down)
9. Back in Flash Builder I switch to design view and drag a datagrid onto the big white area in the middle, whatever that is called.
10. Then below in Data/Services tab on the bottom I click drag the function 'GetAllCustomer' on top of the datagrid.
     I say yes to rebound and click ok and the view of the datagrid is updated with the colums from the 'customer' table in mySQL.
(Now let me say that when I hit save and compile this, if I actually had records in this table that I insert thru phpMyAdmin, this does show in the datagrid. So for the whole CRUD thing I am able to get the R which is Read)
11. Now going back to the design view in Flash Builder I will create a form to create records in the table... (I guess this isn't really a step)
12. In the Data/Service tab on the bottom I select 'createCustomer' function and then there is an icon called 'Generate Form' that looks like a white piece of paper with a gear on the bottom of it.
13. This opens up a new form and since I don't have a crazy bunch of fields in my table I just click Finished (If you click next you can specify which fields you want to exclude from the form but this time I don't need to)
14. This actually creates 2 forms if you look at the code, the second just shows the return type from when you click 'CreateCustomer' button on the first form. Because they overlap in design view I drag the form out of the way so you can see the input form, the return form, and the datagrid
15. Then I save and compile...
(Also if your actually reading this I didn't remove the id form field, I get the same result either way, but if you do remove the form field in the code/design you also have to update the button function to not deal with the id before it gets sent off to the php page since in this case the MySQL table is set to auto_increment the id, sorry this doesn't make much sence but this little area doesn't matter much either way)
16. Now fill in whatever data you want for name and email, try differnt numbers in the id field like 0, nothing, 1, 1000 and click 'CreateCustomer'
(For me nothing happens, no return is put in the return field, no error pops up and the datagrid is not updated with the new record, also going over to phpMyAdmin and checking out the table browse doesn't show any changes either, I know the button is calling the function because if I add a state change in that function it changes, it would seem that the line:
createCustomerResult.token = customerService.createCustomer(customer2); doesn't do anything)
So any idea what is wrong here, I'm convenced it's something stupid easy simple I just can't see it.

Unable to connect to the server to pull data from mysql

Hello,
I am novice working with Flash Builder 4 and I just created a test application which runs well in my computer pulling data from Mysql using PHP and populating a datagrid. But when I transfered it to the my hosting provider failed. I have been doing some modifications to the gateway.php and amf.config.ini to solve some of the issues. Now the application try to run but doesn't populate the data in the datagrid. I included a tracking point in my data service file to read the connections variables, but they come up in blank.

Hello Jdesko,
Thank you for you prompt response. Yes, I have changed the connections variables in my dataservice ( I didn't post real values). You are right, after all I didn't make changes on the gateway.php except to add some tracking points. The one that I changed is the amf.config,ini. The application runs without any error exceptions, but don't populate the datagrid. According with the tracing is stoping just when establishing the connection to the database. Please let me know if you have any other clue. thanks

Zend AMF Data Service Return Problem

Hi Folks,
I am working with FB4 and Zend AMF/PHP and MySQL. I began integrating the PHP stuff using the great article by Mihai Corlan called 'Working in Flash Builder 4 with Flex and PHP. I followed all the steps exactly, aside from creating my own app-specific PHP classes and functions, etc... I 'hooked up' the Zend stuff just like the article, created a text datagrid, just like the article, and viola!, it worked. I then tweaked it a bit and interwove it into my 'real' component. So far, so good.
Then I created a second PHP class with a different 'get data' type of function. It queries a different table in MySQL, but is essentially the 'same' as the query/function in the initial PHP class.
In FB, in the Data Services window, I choose the 'Connect to Data/Services' function, just like the first time. I then find/select my PHP class file and FB 'interrogates it' enough to show me the function that exists in the class. I 'finish' the operation and it adds a new 'service' to the list of services in that window. Again, so far, so good.
The problem comes when I try to 'test' the service or 'configure return types' (which basically requires a 'test' operation anyway). I can enter the 'input' params just fine, but when I try to execute the call, I get the following error:
InvocationTargetException:There was an error while invoking the operation. Check your operation inputs or server code and try invoking the operation again.
Reason: An error occured while reading response sent by server. Try encoding the response suitably before sending it. e.g. If a database column contains UTF-8 characters then use utf8_encode() to encode its value before returning it from the operation.
I don't know where to go after this. Again - the 2nd PHP class is essentially identical to the 1st. The function in it is essentially identical, differing only by the input params, the name of the function and the actual SQL it sends to MySQL. There is no special text, no special characters, no image stuff, nothing. I do not 'encode' the results of the function in the first class - in fact the code in the second class is practically identical to the first. I do not know what the error is talking about. My guess is that it's more of a generic message.
I can debug the PHP code just fine from within a seperate instance of Eclipse. The function runs/returns just fine - an array of PHP-defined objects (simple strings).
Any insights or advice would be welcomed.   Thank you,
-David Baron

Thank Jorge, but that was not the issue, though, it may be related.
I checked the mySQL my.ini file, and there was already an entry for:
[mysql]
default-character-set=utf8
I added the 'default-collation=utf8_unicode_ci', like you suggested, but that didn't do anything.
I checked the Apache httpd.conf file, and added the following line 'under' the "DefaultType text/plain" line:
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8    but that did not do anything.
I checked my mySQL database, all the tables involved. They were already at UTF-8 (default). However, some of the 'varchar' columns were defined as 'latin 1-default collation'.   I changed them all to utf-8 (default table collation), but that did not help either.
Finally, I found the problem, though I don't really know if it is "my" problem, or ZendAMF's problem, or Adobe's problem.
It turned out that 'some' of my data had a 'bad' character in it. Specifically, I had 'copied and pasted' some data from MS Word into mySQL Workbench. Some of the data included the 'elipsis' character - you know, when you type "..." (dot dot dot) in MS Word, it replaces the three periods with a single elipsis character. Although PHP could easily query and assemble this data into a nice object array, I noticed that that character showed up (in PHP's debugger) as a 'box' character, meaning "bad character". Thus, I guess, Zend AMF and/or FlashBuilder could not 'bring over' and/or deal with this type of character. As soon as I replace the few instances of that character with three periods, everything began to work perfectly.
So... what to do about this? I thought I was through with silly encoding/decoding of data when I left JavaScript and HTML behind in moving to FlashBuilder technology. Am I really going to have to worry about this kind of thing? Or might this be a bug/deficiency somewhere in the stack?
Thanks for your help,
-David

Error while creating Repository in Data Services Managemnet Consloe

Hi All,
I am new to Business Objects Data Services, currently i am working on Data Services, can any one please solve my problem. I am trying to create a Repository in Data Services Management Console of database type MySQL. The details what i provided, is given below:
Repository name:Repository_ONE
Database type:MySQL
Machine name: the system name on which MySQL is installed is provided
Database port: port on which MySQL database installed is provided ie., 3306(default)
Database Name:BOE120 (Here i provided the database name which was installed while BO Edge series is installed)
Finally username and password are maintained. When i click on Test i am getting an error message "Table 'boe120.al_version' doesn't exist", here i am not understanding why this error message is getting. So can anyone please through some ideas to resolve this issue.
Thanks & Regards
Ramakrishna Kamurthy

you can use the same database, but did you create the DS repository during DS Installation ? while installation it will ask you if you want to configure the repository or skip configuration ? if select yes to configure the repo, it will ask you to enter the database login details, you should use the same login details in management console. did you create the repo during installation ?
or From the Data Services program menu, select Repository Manager
Enter the login details, and click on get version, does this returns a version or same error ? if you get the same error then click on create button to create the repo once that completes, you can register the repo in management console

Problems on Windows 7 Professional 64 with PHP data service

I've created a data service using PHP in a PHP Eclipse project and I'm trying to connect to it from my new Flash project. When I try to create a custom data type via the Configure Return Type dialog, "Auto detect the return type from sample data" radio button, I get the following error:
There was an error while invoking the operation. Check your operation inputs or server code and try invoking the operation again.
Reason:
Warning: mysqli::mysqli() [mysqli.mysqli]: (HY000/2003): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) in C:\Users\davidk\workspace\php-global-includes\mysqlAccess.inc.php on line 11

Note that I've tested the GetPlayData class and the getProductVersions() method with some simple "unit testing" code and it works fine when I execute it directly. It just won't run when called from this dialog.
I tried to debug the gateway.php process that is used to do this connecting without much success so far.
Is Windows 7 supported for PHP data service development in this beta release? I'm using Version 4.0 build 253292

One more clue: the message from the exception shows that the global variables I'm using to configure the MySQL connection parameters are not set somehow. Maybe I need to upgrade my Zend Framework?
Nope. I upgraded to the latest Zend Framework and it still did not work. The global variables are not working. When I hard coded the connection parameters into the constructor of the GetPlayData class, then it worked fine. I just switched to using define() to create constants instead of using the globals and that worked, too.
It is as if globals set in one include file are not available in another include file. I agree that using them might be a bad programming practice of sorts, but it seems wrong to disallow / not support something that is part of the core language!
So, I don't know if this is a Windows 7 thing or just a general behavior. Globals within the same file seem to work fine still, but not from another include file.
So the answer for me is to not use these cross-include file globals in code that is going to be used from Flash Builder.

How to update Data Services (ALDSP 2.5) from WebLogic Server 9.2 correctly?

Hi,
I need to update some physical data service in ALDSP 2.5 on WLS 8.1 SP6 (8.1.6) via Static Mediator API from WebLogic Server 9.2 MP2 (9.2.2) application. I have reviewed the article about interoperability of ALDSP 2.5 and WLS 9 here:
http://edocs.bea.com/aldsp/docs25/appdev/ejbclt.html#wp1090900
Firstly, I had a problems with the interconnection between 9.2 client and ALDSP 2.5 due to some missed methods/classes. Finally, I've added the following libs to my WLS 9.2.2 pre-classpath in such an order:
MyDSPProject-ld-client.jar (built with Ant script using XmlBeans 2.0)
wlsdo.jar (from ALDSP 2.5)
xbean.jar
xqrl.jar
wlxbean.jar
ld-client.jar (from ALDSP 2.5)
I do the update in the way shown in attached java file.
After submit method call, I've got two copies of a new item added in the DB and also an exception that is shown in attached log-file.
What is the possible cause of this issue?
I use MySQL DBMS version 5.0.45.
I've also tried MS SQL 2005 but it simply had the same results.
DSP audit log is also attached.
Thank you in advance!
Best Regards,
Vitalii Tiutiunnyk

The problem is that your client is WLS server, and WLS server has network class loading disable (for security), and the result from the call requires a class that is not on the client. The call succeeds, but the the network class load for the result fails, and the WLS 9.2 framework (incorrectly) retries the call (and you get either a duplicate key exception or a second row inserted). Putting the server jar in the client classpath solves the problem.
If you wanted more information or help, you can contact BEA Customer Support and tell them it is regarding the CR I mentioned.

Shared hosting, Coldfusion 8 & Livecycle Data Services ES

I want to develop a CF/Flex/Air online/offline application that uses Livecylcle Data Services (LCDS) to synchronize client (SQLlite) and server (MySQL) databases. I'm a coldfusion developer (MX6) and have done some Flash work (AS2). I'm going to learn Flex, Air and AS3.
I can only use shared hosting. I'm confused about the licensing of LCDS and if there is shared hosting that provides it. I Googled for Coldfusion/Flex/LCDS web hosting and the only one I found was way too expensive, e.g.$250/month.
But I just read that LCDS is included with Coldfusion 8. So does that mean web hosting with CF 8 (Enterprise) automatically includes LCDS?

It really depends on the hosting provider. The ColdFusion 8 install (Standard & Enterprise) have the ability to install a LCDS "trial" which after 30 days will revert to LCDS ES which is free, as long as the server that it's installed on has no more than 1 processor (up to 2 cores though I believe).
To more specifically answer your question, it really depends on whether the individual hosting provider has installed and offers this option to their clients. The use of LCDS with Flex required configuration of a data-management-config.xml file and certain ports may need to be opened up for rtmp vs. polling transfer methods. I'm not sure exactly how this would work given a shared hosting environment and if you could sandbox the configurations per client.
The sure way to get this setup (and the method I've used for the past few years) is to get yourself a dedicated box (which can be had for less than 100 dollars, especially given the processor limitation on the LCDS licensing) and get yourself a license for CF8 while they're still available. CF9 will still support LCDS integration, but the install isn't seamless like it is with CF8. During the install process for CF8 you can choose to install LCDS and after a bit of configuration you're all set.

Import data from mySQL into flash?

I am new t this and therefore do not know if it can be done, but I want to import certain data from mySQL into a flash project. I know how to do this in PHP but not in action script. Help Please!

You can use the data -> connect to php in FlashBuilder and generate a php sample file from your mysql db and use that as the service in your flex project.
