DB2 + ODBC Heterogeneous Services, get API4006

Hi,
I am trying to pull meta data from DB2 using Oracle Heterogeneous Services. I am able to create db link and it works in SQLPLUS. But when I try to use this link in OWB, it gives error:
API4006 and API2421, cannot determine version information for the specified database link.
My enrironment is OWB10g + ORACLE10g + AIX
listener.ora entry:
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = hsodbc)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/OH_10gdb)
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
(ENVS=LIBPATH=/u01/app/odbc/lib:/u01/app/oracle/OH_10gdb/lib32)
tnsnames.ora entry:
hsodbc =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = rdw1 ) (PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID= hsodbc))
(HS=OK)
db link:
create public database link mylink connect to user identified by passward using 'hsodbc'
Is there any solution or work around on this?
Any input will be appreciated.

My enrironment is OWB 9.0.2 + ORACLE9i + WINDOWS
I am also getting the same error.
Did you find the solution.Pls reply.

Heterogeneous Services through ODBC

There has been some different remarks about if Heterogeneous Services through ODBC will be available in XE. So now when we are getting close to the production release of XE I want to know what the final answer is on this feature

For the sake of future readers: This works! I just paraphrased this approach to successfully create a dblink to my Sql Server 2000 EE running on MS W2K Svr. It took some time to sort out the details, and then to discover that the test in Tak Tang's excellent writeup did not work for me. I could not do: select table_name from all_tables@mydblink; without getting:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[Generic Connectivity Using ODBC]
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from DBLINK_IMS
However, when I finally woke up and tried: SELECT * FROM <MySmallTable>; I realized that it was actually working.
I hope this hint is helpful to future readers. Many thanks to TTang for his excellent writeup. Thanks also to Oracle for an excellent product.

Heterogeneous Services ODBC to MS SQLSvr - ORA-00904 error

Hello, I have successfully setup a heterogeneous Services ODBC to MS SQLSvr using the steps outlined at http://www.orafusion.com/art_orahs.htm.
My problem is, the only queries that run without errors are SELECT * FROM tablename@xxx. When I try SELECT colname FROM tablename@xxx I get an ORA-00904: "colname": invalid identifier. Any thoughts?
Also, will I be able to update MS SQLSvr tables using this link?
Thanks.

Hello, Your suggestion worked. Even though all the column_names are lower case, if I surrounded the column names with double quotes the query would work.
Another question. I'm wanting to update a SQLServer table with data from a Oracle table using a query like:
INSERT INTO sql_table@xxx
SELECT * FROM oracle_table ;
Is this possible? I'm getting a "ORA-02025: all tables in the SQL statement must be at the remote database" error message which looks like I can't.
Thanks.

Oracle Heterogenous Services using JDBC (not using ODBC)

Dear Friends,
I need to configure Oracle HS to connect with MS SQL Server using JDBC as our company don't want to go for ODBC connection.
Operating System is HP-UX
Oracle Database Version is
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bi
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.3.0 - Production
CORE 10.2.0.3.0 Production
TNS for HPUX: Version 10.2.0.3.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.3.0 - Production
Can anyone please help me.

The options you have for Heterogeneous Services are ODBC and OleDB.
JDBC is not an option.
The only other option is Transparant Gateway, a separately licenseable product.
I don't know whether Transparant Gateway relies on other drivers.
From the Sqlserver end there is MSDTC.
Oracle generally doesn't underdocument their products.
You can safely assume if it isn't documented, it isn't there.

Generic Heterogeneous Services

I’m trying to implement Heterogeneous Services using the generic
ODBC driver supplied with Oracle 8.1.7. I am attempting to
connect to a ForPro database running on a NT server from Solaris
5.7 running Oracle 8.1.7. Up to this point I have not been able
to properly configure the Listener so that it will run with the
non-Oracle listener information in the Listener.ora file. I get
an error (TNS-12545) “Connect failed because target host of
object does not exist”
Has anyone tried to connect to FoxPro on an NT server?
Were you able to do this with the generic ODBC driver supplied
by Oracle?
Can you post a copy of the relevant sections of the Listener.ora
and tnsnames.ora files?
If using an after-market ODBC driver, which one did you use?
Any help supplied will be greatly appreciated. I have very
little time to determine if it is possible to make this
connection and to get it working.

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

Running INSERT into SQL Server using Heterogeneous Services

I am running into a show stopping issue trying to insert into a SQL Server table via Oracle.
Basically, I have my Heterogeneous Services set up correctly and I am able to hit the SQL Server database with my INSERT statement. But what is happening is I seem to be manually controlly row locks. I believe HS is issuing the following to the server before my INSERT statement is run:
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ COMMITTED
SET IMPLICIT_TRANSACTIONS ON
Also, it does not seem that I ever issue the COMMIT TRANSACTION
command. This leaves the row locked forever... unable to complete the
insert generating an error and not inserting my record.
I would GREATLY appreciate any help you could provide, this is a critical issue.
Thanks in advance,

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

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:

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 ?

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.

ORA-02063: preceding line from MYSQL_LOCAL

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))

(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.

Heterogenous Services in 8.1.7?

Does anyone know if the Heterogenous services (database links through ODBC) are available in the 8.1.7 release for Linux. The readme didn't say it wasn't like it did for 8.1.6. If it is there, has anyone gotten it to work?

Have u got the replaction manager wizard on 8.1.7 - the same problem i am also facing i f u have any solution to find it out please send me.
And one more thing have u ever configured replication successfully - If yes please send me steps in short. as I am unable to configure it.
Regds,
Amit.

What happened to Replication Manager in 8.1.7?
Does it only exist as part of the DBA Studios package?
I have tried using this but have found one major flaw. When using a replication administrator user for handing replication, I cannot specify the Tablespace to replicate objects to. All the other storage parameters are available except TABLESPACE.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Help with heterogeneous services

Hello.
I have been asked to try to create a dblink from an oracle 9.2 database on a solaris machine to a mysql 5.1 database on a windows xp machine.
I need to know what software I need to get and install on both machines and what settings on the oracle server are needed.
I just hope that someone who has done this before can help me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If you are looking for a tutorial sort of thing for Heterogenous Services than this thread over Asktom is a good resource. Look inside it an example given by Tak Tang for connecting Oracle Database with MS Excel. Take it as a reference to do your work.

And for the Heterogenous Services, look at the doc guide of it here,
