Developer 6i and DB2 connectivity.

I am using Oracle8i with Developer 6i.
I need to connect to DB2/400 (running under OS/400) from Forms Developer 6i
i have IBM AS400 Client Access (version : 3, release : 2,
modification level : 0 ) installed on this machine, which
is working allright, i have checked it by using datatransfer from
AS/400.
the username on DB2 is ORACLE (password is same as username).
i have created ODBC system data source (named SYSDB2) for OCA connection
while i connect from sqlplus, it connects with some error messages as
shown below, however it works allright for querying.
SQL> CONN ORACLE/ORACLE@ODBC:SYSDB2 ;
ORA-00022: invalid session id; access denied
ORA-00022: invalid session id; access denied
ORA-00022: invalid session id; access denied
Error accessing PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE
Warning: Product user profile information not loaded!
You may need to run PUPBLD.SQL as SYSTEM
Server not available or version too low for this feature
ORA-00022: invalid session id; access denied
Connected.
SQL>
i have run PUPBLD.SQL but had no affect on these messages .
When i try to create data dictionary views for DB2 from this connection
by running script (Db4dmbld.sql) it does not create data dictionary.
its fine till this happens, the real problem is that i am
unable to connect to db2 by using odbc datasource from forms6i.
when i try to connect it shows some special characters in a
message box which can't provide any information.
please let me know if there is any fix to this problem.
regards,
aamir.

Hi,
the site where you can find it is http://technet.oracle.com/doc/gateways.htm
The gateway has no database functions. The gateway provides an interface by which the Oracle server can direct SQL operations to a DB2 database.
Using a database link, the gateway is identified to the Oracle server. The database link is the same construct used to identify other Oracle server databases.
Tables on the DB2 server are referenced in SQL as:
table_name@dblink_name
or
owner.table_name@dblink_name
If you create synonyms or views in the Oracle server database, you can refer to tables on the DB2 server using simple names as though the table is local to the Oracle server.
When the Oracle server encounters a reference to a table on the DB2 server, the applicable portion of the SQL statement is sent to the gateway for processing. Any host variables associated with the SQL statement are bound to the gateway and, therefore, to the DB2 server.
The gateway is responsible for sending these SQL statements to the DB2 server for execution and for fielding and returning responses. The responses are data or messages. Any conversions between Oracle datatypes and DB2 datatypes are performed by the gateway. The Oracle server and the application read and process only Oracle datatypes.

Thanks Samson for you only reply on the
topic, would you kindly tell me where can i find Oracle's Transaction Gateway for AS/400?
Inspite all appreciation that i feel for you, What i think is that Gateways are used to establish connections between two databases not between a tool and a database like forms and AS400.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

DreamWeaver CS5, PHP and DB2 Connections

Hi,
I have been playing around with a XAMPP server, a mySQL database and DW CS5. This all works great and DW is a great assistant compiling the necessary PHP code so I dont have to worry about all that.
I do have a number of DB2 database I would like to attach to and there is nothing untuitive in DW allowing me to connect to DB2 databases. Has anyone seen any useful examples here
All my Apache and DB2 server are running on Linux hence Windows samples will not be that useful to me.
ThnX in advance for any hints.

Oracle 8i and DB2 Connectivity

Hi,
I dont know whether this is right forum to post this query.
I want to connect to DB2 from Oracle 8i. I have read some documentation about Oracle gateways but it is not clear of how exactly we can connect to DB2.
If any one has done this before please let me know th detail steps of how we can connect to DB2.

You can use oracle product Interconnect. If you search on interconnect you will get your answer.

CR2008, C# and DB2 - Connection Info

I have a report, originally created in Crystal Reports ver 9, and I have loaded it successfully in CR 2008 (stand alone). I am able to run that report just fine, it prompts me for the parameter needed for the report, then it promts me for an ODBC data source, which I select, and it runs as expected.
BTW, this report was generated using a COMMAND to specify the necessary tables and fields for the report instead of selecting specific table and field names (since the list of tables is unavailable via the ODBC link)
However, in my C# code, I cannot get it to run. It would appear the information required in the ConnectionOnfo object isn't appropriate for an ODBC datasource, unless I'm over looking something. So can somebody help me out with setting this up so it runs correctly?
        private void RunReport()
            ReportDocument oRpt = new ReportDocument();
            try
                oRpt.Load(this._Settings.ReportDirectory + this._ReportFile);
            catch (Exception err)
                Console.WriteLine(err.Message);
                Console.ReadKey();
            ConnectionInfo connInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
            // the ODBC DSN on this system is GS30QA, but I'm not sure how to specify this via the ConnectionInfo
            // object... So instead I'll list the actual elements for the cnnection
            connInfo.DatabaseName = "GS2007";
            connInfo.UserID = "secret";
            connInfo.Password = "secret";
            connInfo.ServerName = "PHX-VM-GS30QA1";
            Tables oTables = oRpt.Database.Tables;
            foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table oTbl in oTables)
                TableLogOnInfo tableLogonInfo = oTbl.LogOnInfo;
                tableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = connInfo;
                oTbl.ApplyLogOnInfo(tableLogonInfo);
            oRpt.SetParameterValue(0, 0);
            // this fails, with an error message of
            // {"Failed to open the connection.\rFailed to open the connection.\nUSPS_ItemizedManifest {DA872B86-5A97-4CF5-B099-2C866D933351}.rpt"}
            oRpt.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, @"C:\NET 2.0 Projects\Logicor.GSRouter.Reports\Logicor.GSRouter.Reports\Outputs\test1.pdf");

Sorry to necro this post, but I was temporarily pulled off this specific project to handle somethig else that was considered a
higher priority. Now that I'm finished with that task, it's time to revisit this. Unfortunately, there's been no progress.
Also, so everything is clear... When I run this report in the Designer, and press F5 the report promts me to choose an ODBC DSN, and
I choose this very same one and the report runs. I just cannot get it to run via the code, it's unable to connect to the DB,
although I don't know why since it's obvious the report runs in the designer just fine.
I did as the last post said:
// name of the 32 bit System DNS on this machine
connInfo.ServerName = "GSDEMO";
// name of the actual database
connInfo.DatabaseName = "GS2007";
connInfo.UserID = "secret";
connInfo.Password = "secret";
Tables oTables = oRpt.Database.Tables;
foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table oTbl in oTables)
    TableLogOnInfo tableLogonInfo = oTbl.LogOnInfo;
    tableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = connInfo;
    oTbl.ApplyLogOnInfo(tableLogonInfo);
    // this return false, but I expected that because it's never been able to connect. I need to know why, which is what I've
    // never been able to discover.
    bool blConnected = oTbl.TestConnectivity();
    Console.WriteLine("Connected: " + blConnected.ToString());
The error I get this time is

How to access SAP netweaver development Studio and PDK?

Hi All,
I have access to EP server on my machine with super admin role .Is there any way I can acess SAP netweaver Developer Studio and PDK through EP server or I have to install in my local machine?
Thanks in advance,
Jasmine.

You'd want to install the NWDS application locally no matter what (unless everyone has a thin client/citrix connection via dumb terminal). You can however, opt to install a local instance of EP or use a central instance. Here's how I see the two approaches:
1-install the NWDS on developers' machines and deploy to a development instance of EP
<b>PROS:</b>
i-developers can develop locally and only connect to the EP server for deploying/testing
ii-share development (although not very efficiently) and test each others' iViews etc.
iii-demo your work online to business users directly
iv-connect to the corporate SAP R/3 and other ERP systems
<b>CONS:</b>
i-you can only use this while connected to the network
ii-could be slow over a slow/remote network connection
iii-developers may not be able to do everything on the portal server (may not have super admin access)
2-install the NWDS on the developers' PC along with a test EP environment
<b>PROS:</b>
i-develop and deploy locally, without a network connection, anywhere and anytime, fast and efficient
ii-enjoy full access (super admin) to the Portal - to be able to test pretty much everything
<b>CONS:</b>
i-may not be able to connect to the company SAP R/3 and other ERP systems, unless you're connected to the network and have configured the connections
ii-not able to get others to test or demo your development without having to port them to a central EP instance
I think a developer needs every resource they can get, therefore I suggest a combination of the above two scenarios, an instance of EP locally and a central instance of EP for the best of both worlds

SQL0904N and SQL30081N while using DB2-Connect driver

Scenario:
Application program : Java on Unix
Database : DB2 on Mainframe
Database driver : IBM's DB2 connect
Usage : A number of connections are taken by the program and are used as long as the program is alive
(Life time of the program is variable. It can be as long as many days -- in a sense the program acts like a daemon process that runs as long it is not stopped).
Scenario:
-To one of the table using a load utility, such as BMC, data is loaded
-Database goes to copy-pending status
-Database is started by using the following command : "START DATABASE(database name) SPACENAM(table space name) ACCESS(FORCE)"
Doubts:
1. What happens to the connections that the program has opened to the database?
2. Does the database relinquish all the resources (like the sockets it would have opened for the communication with the driver) held by it during restarting?
(at least before restarting, it is evident that no query on the table in question is possible. A typical SQL0904N, which is non-availability of resources, is thrown)
3. Can the above scenario cause a SQL30081N, which is resetting of connection by peer i.e. database in this case?

Yes, there is a high probability for such things, you may want to consider using a connection pool instead of opening 2 connections once at the start of the program and using them all for days.
Have a look at the following link to get an idea on how to implement a simple connection pool.

SQL Developer Blocked and is not allowed to connect to database ORA-200001

SQL Developer Blocked and is not allowed to connect to database gives ORA-200001.
i found on net that DBA can write triggers which can deny connection to database from certain appplication.
so i want a way to change application name so that when it connects to database
the V$SESSION will have different value (other than SQL Developer) in column PROGRAM and/or MODULE (which i think is used by dba to restrict the connection).
one more way is
i am using jdbc url to connect to database
in java we can change properties of connection to change the PROGRAM in V$SESSION.
but i am not java expert so dont know how and where to make the changes
either way my aim is to connect to database such that V$SESSION will have different value (other than "SQL Developer") in column PROGRAM and/or MODULE

This is not system configration or credential issue.
This is a check which is put DBA using logon trigger
to check certain user loging in using certain application.
only some users using particular username are getting this error when they try to logon using oracle sql developer
the same users when uses different username(some generic user names created to access database) to access the same database then they are able to login.
similarly if they login using SQL navigator they are able to login with both their own and the generic user name
more over of all the database instances this is only happening on some of the instances and all of them are development instances.
following will help you understand
USER | DBUSERNAME | DATABASE | APPLICATION | ACTION
X | X | DB1 | Oracle Sql Developer | Blocked
X | G(Genric) | DB1 | Oracle Sql Developer | Login Success
X | X | DB1 | Sql Navigator/SqlPLus | Login Success
X | G(Genric) | DB1 | Sql Navigator/SqlPLus | Login Success
X | X | DB2 | Oracle Sql Developer | Login Success
X | G(Genric) | DB2 | Oracle Sql Developer | Login Success
X | X | DB2 | Sql Navigator/SqlPLus | Login Success
X | G(Genric) | DB2 | Sql Navigator/SqlPLus | Login Success
I just want to bypass this check which i think uses V$SESSION and columns PROGRAM and/or MODULE to check the application used by particular user.
if i can override these values some where in oracle sql developer before loging in the DB then i can clearly pass this check and login to database.

SQL Developer and TOAD connection.

Hi,
I am able to see the DDL script for tables using TOAD, but NOT using SQL Developer (2.1.1). Same user, pass, and tnsname file.
They use same tnsname.ora file on my computer. I set basic and TNS connection for SQL Developer.
The connection is from my computer to the server (Oracle 11.1.0.7 EE).
ORA-31603: object "ALARM_DEFINITION" of type TABLE not found in schema "AIRCOM"
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 105
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 3241
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 4812
ORA-06512: at line 1
It is same with packages. I cannot see package body.
What is the different and which additional privileges I need to see the DDL script?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Konstantin

I don't think it's a connection issue. There seem to be differences in how Oracle and Toad access system views to show objects. If you search the boards you see it has effected a couple of people. Sometimes they post what permissions they changed to get things to work for them.
ie... Re: Issue with viewing Package Body in SQL Developer 2.1 RC1
I don't think I've seen any official documentation to indicate what privileges need to be granted in order to see them thought. And I think there is a bug that prevents generating DDL for tables owned by other users. I don't know if that extends to generating stored procedure code.

Connections to Sybase and DB2

Hi,
Does SQLDevelopeer can connect to Sybase and DB2 databases, do I have to pay something else?
Regards,

hi,
SQLDevelopeer can connect to Sybase and DB2 databases besides other databases. You need to include JDBC driver jar files in SQLDev preference settings. Please check help doc for more information.

Need to find out a way to figure out how DB2 connect to Oracle and data mirroring etc.

Hi, Gurus,
I just take over a project which source is ICOMS as400 db2 database. Seems data mirro CDC is used to replicate from DB2 to oracle.
I am very new to this datamirror CDC , plus I am new to figure out how db2 connect to oracle, is that through db link or what? or is there tnsnames entry?
I would like anybody in this forum can point me to the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

user9233598, if mirroring/replication from DB2 to Oracle already exists then question is what product is being used? If the product has already been purchased then I do not think it is very likely that management is going to want to purchase another product so I do not see how extra-cost Golden Gate or other Oracle Gateway features apply if those are not currently in use. If Golden Gate or the Oracle Transparent Gateway are in use then you already have your answer
Oracle supports ODBC/JODBC and the replication application on the AS400 likely uses these features or a thick Oracle client as the interface to Oracle.

How to connect Weblogic 6.1 and DB2 under OS/390

Hello,
which JDBC Driver do I need in order to connect Weblogic 6.1 to DB2 OS/390.
And where can I get this Driver?
With best regards
Stefan Stössel

In order to use IBM's JDBC driver to connect to DB/2 on the mainframe, you will need to
use DB2Connect. You can also get third-party drivers from companies such as Neon
Systems that support this without DB2Connect...

Stefan StösselHi. As far as I know, IBM is the only source of JDBC drivers for DB2, so you should
get the appropriate driver from them, for the platform on which you want to run
WebLogic. Once you have this driver, and can connect to your DBMS using the driver's
own simple example programs, show me the few lines of code that make the connection,
and I'll show you how to define a pool so WebLogic can do the same.

ASP db2 connection

I'm new to ASP and experienced db2 user in C/S applications.
I have developed a dynamiz page with Dreamweaver usin ASP
VBscript and tried to connect db2 satabase. In defining the
connection and preparing the record set everything went well and
with DW I connected to dns, tested the connection and played with
SQL everything fine. But when I tried the same thing using ASP
page, the connection did not work and I got an error message
showing the connection line on the program. The connections string
seemed O.K. and the ASP program seems O.K. but application does not
work and I get error.
I do the same thing to Access tables everything works well,
again with ODBC.
Probably there is an issue with IBM DB2 connection using
ODBC.
Attached the connection code and the line of ASP program
where I get error message

appreciate any help, thx in advance

One thing I like about MSSQL databases is that you can manage them using Access itself. This is done by creating an Access project file with an ADP extension. It presentsna dialog for the server connection which uses the same information as the connection string. Once connected, you can manage the database the same way as you would a regular Access database in almost every aspect. You can import and export, create tables and Queries, etc. One noticeable difference is that you're presented a lot more options for datatypes for your table fields. One downside is that the web Hist must allow remote connections which some do not for security reasons. Another is that I don't know how applicable this would be in a ASP.net environment, but that's not supported by DW and even classic ASP is fading fast. Beyond MS-based solutions is PHP with MySQL, a different animal in many respects but conceptually similar to the overall principles of dynamic websites. I still manage a small number of ASP sites, and a couple years ago decided I was overdue in choosing which technology I needed to learn. I went the PHP route because I still wanted to use DW and many Web Assist extension which many now only support PHP. (not to say I won't ever delve into dot net, but I need to be able to hand code PHP at least to the extent that I can with VBscript)
