Discoverer 9i connection to ODBC

ODBC data source is created and I can acces it with MSAccess.
I created EUL from Disc.Admin. but when I tried to connect to ODBC message: "You do not have access to End User Layer(EUL).You must create at least one EUL to wich you have access to use Discoverer. Do you want to create an EUL now?" appears.
After entered "Yes" message: "An EUL for this use already exist. If you continue, all existing end user layer info..... will be deleted. Doyou want to continue?" appears. After "Yes" and "connect" first message appears again.
What to do?

Hi Frans Truyens,
This forum is for deveopers discussing
apps for Office.
Based on the description, you want to connect to the database with ODBC driver using C#. As far as I know, we can use ADO.Net to ahciev the goal. Here is an useful link for your reference:
Connecting to an ODBC Data Source Using ADO.NET
If you still have issue about it, I suggest that you get more effective response from
ADO.NET Managed Providers forum.
Also if you have developing issue with C#, you can discuss the issues in
Visual C# forum.
Hope it is helpful.

Can SQL*Plus connect via ODBC to NON-Oracle data source?????

I am struggling to understand something. I downloaded Oracle instance client, SQL*Plus and ODBC components with the hopes of being able to connect via SQL*Plus to a non-Oracle/ODBC compliant database.
Is this possible? Or is SQL*Plus ability to connect via ODBC only to an Oracle data source??
Thanks...

sqlplus only connects to oracle. you can use the odbc driver from instant client to allow other applications to access oracle via odbc (e.g. excel). if you need to connect to non-oracle odbc database (ms-access, foxpro, etc.) you need odbc driver for those sources.
you can use sqldeveloper to connect to oracle and non-oracle databases. check otn product info for sqldeveloper for more details.

MS Visual Studio 2005 + Oracle 10g = Cannot connect to ODBC error: 12154

Hi there!
I've read so many threads of same kind of problems but always some key elements seems to be missing so I cannot solve my problem with the solutions in those threads. So, I'll do my own.
Our environment is...
We have Oracle 8 database with all the data that we have. Now we have our new server, SQL Server 2005 installed and I am trying to transfer data from Oracle to SQL using MS Visual Studio 2005 using available ODBC drivers. System is Windows 2003 64Bit on intel based hardware.
Current installations and settings
I have installed Oracle 10g 32bit and 64bit to separate foldes. Then I made tnsnames and sqlnet files with right settings to specified folders and tested connection with tnsping <servername> command.
Both, 64bit and 32bit connections are working. (Used 32bit CMD for 32bit connection test)
ODBC
I added Microsoft ODBC for Oracle as 32bit driver and Oracle 10g driver for 64bit environment as ODBC driver.
Both environments uses same ODBC names: Myserver and Mytestserver
Debug
First, when I only had 64bit version of ODBC, I had a warning which said that I am using incompatible version of ODBC driver. Then I read from here that I can install 32bit client also and use drivers from that on 32bit ODBC environment and get rid of that message.
Tried to connect Oracle DB with SQL-Plus and it works.
Visual studio 2005 SP2
I have tried to use .Net Providers/Oracle Client dataprovider and .Net Providers for OleDB/Microsoft Old DB for Oracle and also .Net Providers for OldDB/Oracle provider for OldDB
Frist two gives me an error: ORA-12154 TNS: Could not resolve the connect identifier specified
Last one says that OraOldDB.oracle.1 is not registered on local machine
I have absolutily no idea what I can try next?
Anyone who has more ideas? Suggest anything. I might have tried that already, but give a shot anyway. :)

BEST PRACTICES FOR CREATING DISCOVERER DATABASE CONNECTION -PUBLIC VS. PRIV

I have enabled SSO for Discoverer. So when you browse to http://host:port/discoverer/viewer you get prompted for your SSO
username/password. I have enabled users to create their own private
connections. I log in as portal and created a private connection. I then from
Oracle Portal create a portlet and add a discoverer worksheet using the private
connection that I created as the portal user. This works fine...users access
the portal they can see the worksheet. When they click the analyze link, the
users are prompted to enter a password for the private connection. The
following message is displayed:
The item you are requesting requires you to enter a password. This could occur because this is a private connection or
because the public connection password was invalid. Please enter the correct
password now to continue.
I originally created a public connection...and then follow the same steps from Oracle portal to create the portlet and display the
worksheet. Worksheet is displayed properly from Portal, when users click the
analyze link they are taken to Discoverer Viewer without having to enter a
password. The problem with this is that when a user browses to
http://host:port/discoverer/viewer they enter their SSO information and then
any user with an SSO account can see the public connection...very insecure!
When private connections are used, no connection information is displayed to
SSO users when logging into Discoverer Viewer.
For the very first step, when editing the Worksheet portlet from Portal, I enter the following for Database
Connections:
Publisher: I choose either the private or public connection that I created
Users Logged In: Display same data to all users using connection (Publisher's Connection)
Users Not Logged In: Do no display data
My question is what are the best practices for creating Discoverer Database
Connections.
Is there a way to create a public connection, but not display it in at http://host:port/discoverer/viewer?
Can I restrict access to http://host:port/discoverer/viewer to specific SSO users?
So overall, I want roughly 40 users to have access to my Portal Page Group. I then want to
display portlets with Discoverer worksheets. Certain worksheets I want to have
the ability to display the analyze link. When the SSO user clicks on this they
will be taken to Discoverer Viewer and prompted for no logon information. All
SSO users will see the same data...there is no need to restrict access based on
SSO username...1 database user will be set up in either the public or private
connection.

You can make it happen by creating a private connection for 40 users by capi script and when creating portlet select 2nd option in Users Logged in section. In this the portlet uses there own private connection every time user logs in.
So that it won't ask for password.
Another thing is there is an option of entering password or not in ASC in discoverer section, if your version 10.1.2.2. Let me know if you need more information

How can I create a data connection without ODBC (directly with OLE DB)

If connecting to an OLE DB data source, which is not defined as ODBC, the well known error message appears in Acrobat, that the environment is not trusted. The Designer Help says, that the document must be certified in Acrobat to run OLE DB without ODBC. So I certified the document in Acrobat allowing dynamic content for it. But the error message always appears. So I have some questions to this:
How is the correct certification process in Acrobat to define a trusted environment for using OLE DB without ODBC?
Why generates using of ODBC an trusted environment? With using ODBC data sources can be changed external from Acrobat, so I must think, ODBC is absolutely insecure.
Why is OLE DB without ODBC insecure? Here I have a defined connection string, which cannot be changed at runtime (if the form developer this doesn't want).
And why is the first record displayed instead of the error message, if using OLE DB without ODBC, but navigation is impossible?
This seems all very mysterious to me.
Does anyone in the world has ever created an OLE DB data connection (without ODBC) with Designer and Acrobat, which runs in a trusted environment?
Thanks for your answers.
Michael

For the Projects, the trick will be the Asset files. If they will fit onto DVD DL discs, you're OK. If they are too large (DV-AVI is ~ 13GB per hour), then you'll need some type of backup, or spanning software, that will write files across multiple discs. A better choice, IMO, would be a 1 - 2 TB external, where you can use Project Manager, or just Windows Explorer and Copy, to do the entire Project folder with Assets. I'd recommend against a USB and go at least for FW-400. FW-800 would be better, but you'll need FW-800 connections on your computer. eSATA would be the best, but then you'll need eSATA connectors.
Good luck,
Hunt

Connecting on ODBC to an old installation of 7.1 running on DEC Unix 4.0f

We are attempting to connect on ODBC to an existing installation of Oracle 7.1.6.2 running on DEC Unix 4.0f, and are facing a problem.
The TCP/IP adaptor is installed (using CD of Oracle 7.2) and the listener service is running.
We are unable to connect to the server from our client (client is a PC in windows).
The error reported is ORA 12500
Any input will be helpful
Tx

The newer technology stacks (e.g. .NET data access) requires higher versions of Oracle, which in turn is not compatible with that old server.
The long gone Microsoft ODBC for Oracle driver, was built with Oracle7 in mind (but 7.3), but I can't remember ever seeing it with Sql*net v1. In any case you would need to get your hands on a 7.x Client for Windows, which may not be easy, and then you need to get it to install, which probably means you need an old version of Window.
Even if some combination do exist, you will be far off from supported (or supportable) territory. Why can't you upgrade? Developing a new app for such an old environment seems ver far fetched. Are there no other options available to you?

Can't view a report connecting through ODBC(RDO) to DB with InfoView (CMC)

Environment :
Crystal Reports machine :
OS :
Windows Server 2008 64-bit
Crystal Reports Developer 2008 SP0
Crystal Reports Server 2008
DB Server:
Windows Server 2003 32-bit
SQL Server 2000 SP3
What is going on:
All the reports connecting through ODBC (RDO) to the database server work fine in the developer interface (I can preview them) but cannot be accessed if I try to view them in InfoView / CMC ("Please wait while the document is being processed" message box doesn't go away...).
I have tried both the SQL Server driver 6.00.6001.1800 and SQL Server Native Client 10.0 2007.100.1600.22 with the same results.
PS All the reports using OLE DB work just fine, I would prefer to have the ODBC option working through the web interface because I have a few hundreds report to change otherwise ...
Virgil Rucsandescu

Our solution is a php web application, but this is not relevant (in my opinion), and here it is why:
The php code should show the reports by using the direct links given by InfoView
(like http://dev-web:8080/CrystalReports/viewrpt.cwr?id=801&apsuser=user&apspassword=password).
Actually in this moment these links are looking different because currently we're using C.R. 10 + C.R. Server 10, but we are planning to move to CR 2008 + CR Server 2008.
So now I am testing how these direct links do work, they're actually working perfectly till now, but only if I connect through OLEDB to the DB server (SQL Server 2000). Any attempt to do it through the 2 ODBC drivers failed until now.
And I don't want to think about changing the data source hundreds of reports (lot of them having subreports too) ...

Discoverer Plus connection error

Hi all,
I installed the Oracle Business Intelligence and its Tools and I created BI_ADMIN for EUL in Discoverer Administrator. But I get the following error when I connect to Discoverer Plus:
The application encountered an invalid state.
- - Nested exception: org.omg.CORBA.COMM_FAILURE: vmcid: SUN minor code: 201 completed: No
OracleBI Discoverer Viewer was unable to find the necessary data for displaying the results of this event. Please correct any errors and try again.
Please guide me for solving this error.
Thanks

Hi
To follow up on the link posted by CD, summarized here:
"The Discoverer network connection configuration uses a DHCP server to get its IP address. In the insallation instructions for the Application Server it suggests using a Microsoft Loopback Adapter and add a line in the HOSTS file to map the host name with the loopback IP.
This procedure appears to work fine with Discoverer 9.0.4, but doesn't always work with Discoverer 10.1.2
The workaround then is to try assigning a static IP to the server and uninstall the loopback adapter. With a static IP most of these connection errors should go away."
I would also add that you have to make sure that a fully qualified domain name is used on the server. If you have already installed Discoverer without a fully qualified domain name you will probably have to wipe the installation and start again.
Best wishes
Michael

Why should we have to connect to jdbc rather directly connecting to odbc?

Why should we have to connect to jdbc rather directly connecting to odbc.why there should be a bridge?

sandy,
The short answer is: because it should.
The long answer is: bb-ee-cc-aa-uu-ss-ee ii-tt ss-hh-oo-uu-ll-dd.
The really long answer is: JDBC is portable. ODBC isn't... It's yet another Microshite-locked-down psuedo-open technology... So go implement an ODBC driver (in pure java please) if the concept gives you wood.
Or just just use the jdbc/odbc bridge (if you must) like the rest of us.
Cheers. Keith.

Ora-03121 connect to odbc datasource

I am running 8i 8.1.6 oracle, forms 6i, and am trying to connect to a AS400 DB2 database. I have the ODBC driver for the AS400 setup properly. When I try to connect in Forms 6i or SQL*Plus with the connect string odbc:datasource_name I get an error ORA-03121 error saying "No interface driver connected - function not performed". Any ideas? I have searched all over reguarding this error but none are specific to this. Net8 is up and running fine as well....
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

Thanks for the replies! I have used the ODBC test utility that comes with Oracle. It actually works and I am able to run ad hoc queries and such against this as400 datasource (this was prior to my posting). However if I try to connect to it in Forms using the odbc:data_source connect string, I get the ora-03121 error.
I don't think it ever gets to the point of checking the datasource name because I get the same error no matter what datasource name I use, even if I leave it blank.
Could I be using the wrong syntax? My AS400 datasource name is "rainier" and the connect string I use is "user/pword@odbc:rainier".
Thanks again for the replies!

Unix: SQL Server Connection with ODBC (CRsqls24.so)

Hi,
I almost find no information how to set up a SQL Server connection using ODBC on a unix platform.
This is what I get when I try to refresh my crystal report on my BO Server (4.1):
"The viewer could not process an event. Error in file XXX.rpt:
Error loading database information"
.) is the port number really separated from the server by comma? (http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir4/en/xi4sp10_data_acs_en.pdf)
.) where is the right place to speficy the SQL Server isntance name (SQLInstanceA in this case)? I didn't find any information about that?

First off, let me say that in the past (pre v9) when I've tried to use Windows logins with datasources, it never worked. But that doesn't mean that they finally got it working, just that I stopped trying.
What I was referring to in my post is that once you have CF installed, you need to go to the Windows Services screen, open each of the CF processes, click on the LOGIN tab, and change it from the default services login to be whatever WIndows login you have setup in Active Directory. Then restart CF so that it's process is now running under that login with its credentials. Then go to SQL Admin and setup that same login and give it access to the database you want to access. Then go to CF Datasource menu and setup the datasource as you did previously. If CF's support of Windows authentication for datasources does in fact now work, you should be in business.
If it doesn't work, then you'll need to do as I said earlier, and setup SQL logins for the CF servers to use, and then in the CF Datasource setup screens you would specify that login info in the same way that you would have given it the "sa" login info.

Discoverer Plus connections lost..!!

Hi,
We always get emails from users saying that the Discoverer Plus Connections saved on the local machine are lost. They have to recreate the connections again.
What could be the cause of the issue?
I told them not to delete cookies as the connections are stored in IE cookies, but is there any solution for this?
Thanks!
Yogini

Yogini,
10.1.2.48.18 is the basic version of 10g Rel 2 BI. You can see that connectivity issue will be overcomed by this but this version is not stable. Specially if your envrionment is of Oracle E-Business Suite.You can face some more weird issues like icons of toolbar getting disabled etc.
Oracle recommends to go with 10.1.2.54.25 and it is very much stable.only way to reach this version by patch 4960210.There is one more patch over 10.1.2.54.25 for some Discoverer viewer issues.
Moreover the patch is available for both Developer tools and also BI middle tier.
Have Fun..

Database fileds are not coming when connecting with ado and they are coming when connecting with odbc

Post Author: yagya
CA Forum: .NET
Hi , I am using crystal report XI R2 in visual studio 2005 . Backend is sql server 2000. I have made a connection with odbc connectivity and using dsn. I am using a stored procedure as datasource of report. It is working fine all the database fields are available. Now when i try to connect with the ado connection having same stored procedure as datasource of report , I am not getting data fields. I dont know where is the problem in my stored procedure or in report. But when i connect through system dsn using odbc connectivity everything is working fine. A MAP filed dialogue box appears when i try to change the datasource location to ado from odbc.

There is a barely acknowledged issue. For Mac users Apple has released an update to the app, but for iOS users the recommendation is for users to update their ipad to the most recent operating system.
There may be a fix coming for iOS6 users (which seem to be many of those having problems) or there may not be. If your ipad isn't up to date then you can update it and see if that helps, or if you don't want to update then you may want to wait and see if there is either a fix or if it fixes itself.
