Encrypt data x-fer via DB links?

1. Is it possible to encrypt the data transferred between two 8i databases via a database link?
2. Can this be done WITHOUT Advanced Security Option? How?
3. If ASO is required, can data xfer encryption be limited to a subset of all clients?

You can encrypt data over a database link, but you need to use ASO to do so.
I'm not sure what exactly you mean by a subset of all clients. Since ASO needs to be configured both on the client and on the server, you could certainly configure ASO on some clients and not on others. If you're asking to encrypt a subset of data going over a database link based on the original client, I'd need a bit more information about what you're trying to accomplish.

  • JDBC Thin driver doesn't support writing data into remote database via database link

    Dear Oracle Guru:
    Please confirm: Oracle JDBC thin driver does not support writing data to remote database via database link.
    The following errors occur when trying to write data into a remote database via database link through jdbc thin driver:
    ORA-03106: fatal two-task communication protocol error
    ORA-02063: preceding line from FDBE.PAPDSRAS1
    ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from PA
    SQL statement is a prepared statement using a SQL like: insert into mytable@pa (col1,col2) values (?,?).
    Thanks.
    null

    Thanks, Dan.
    I still think it is a driver problem, because I can do similar things in a stored procedure or in PL/SQL Developer to copy records from a local database table to a remote database table via database link (insert into mytable@pa select * from mytable). The value for distributed_transactions of our database is 10.

  • Changing fields in form opened in query mode via a link from a report

    I have a summary report which allows me to access a form via a link: The form opens up with its fields populated with the corresponding record from the report.
    Can additional code be added to the after displaying page section of the form such that some of the fields can be assigned with different values from those in the original record? If so, can anyone offer some sample code for this?

    Hi,
    You can access and set the values of the columns in forms by using certain apis. All the columns in the form are available in the session which can be accessed and set.
    Sample Code
    declare
    flightno number;
    ticketno varchar2(30);
    tdate date;
    persons number;
    blk varchar2(10) := 'DEFAULT';
    begin
    flightno := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
    p_block_name => blk,
    p_attribute_name => 'A_FLIGHT_NO');
    ticketno := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
    p_block_name => blk,
    p_attribute_name => 'A_TICKET_NO');
    tdate := p_session.get_value_as_date(
    p_block_name => blk,
    p_attribute_name => 'A_TRAVEL_DATE');
    persons := p_session.get_value_as_number(
    p_block_name => blk,
    p_attribute_name => 'A_NOF_PERSONS');
    p_session.set_value(
    p_block_name => blk,
    p_attribute_name => 'A_FLIGHTNO',
    p_value => to_char(NULL)
    p_session.set_value(
    p_block_name => blk,
    p_attribute_name => 'A_TICKETNO',
    p_value => to_char(NULL)
    p_session.set_value(
    p_block_name => blk,
    p_attribute_name => 'A_TRAVEL_DATE',
    p_value => to_char(NULL)
    end;
    The above code sets and gets value of the form fields. The form field is accessed by prefixing "A" to the form column name. For example if the column name is "DEPTNO" then to access or set value to it you should refer to the session variable "A_DEPTNO".
    Thanks,

  • Sharing an imported PDF via a link

    I uploaded/imported an AcroForm to my FormCentral (FC) account, added the submit button in FC and now I'd like to share a link to the file for users to access the form, vs me having to send them a the Submission-Enabled PDF version that I downloaded.
    I thought there was a way to share the PDF via a link, however, the "copy fillable form link" button is greyed out. My understanding is that the form that I uploaded to my FC account is hosted on the Adobe server, so why can't I generate a link that I can have others point to - to access the form?  Or is the option to share direct links to the form ONLY for Web/HTML forms created within FC?
    Please advise.

    Hi; 
    The Import AcroForm feature allows you to use a form you have already authored, not requiring you to re-author in FormsCentral, to collect your data in FormsCentral and access features like Submission Reciepts, Notifications and the reporting available allowing you to share access to the responses etc.  The Imported PDF does not create an HTML fillable form and does not provide any URL to the form.
    You can host your form on a website and create a link to download the PDF from there rather than attaching the PDF to email, but there is no URL provided by FormsCentral.  How complex is your form?  Could you re-create it using our authoring?
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • Webi - Pass Hierarchy Filter via Document Link

    Hi
    I am creating WEBI reports on BO 4.0 SP2 patch 8.
    I want to pass the parameters from Webi report 1 via document link to Webi report 2.
    Within report 1 you can filter the data by the following:
    Parameter 1: Customer
    Parameter  2: Calender Month
    Parameter 3: Profit center Hierarchy
    Parameter 1 & 2 work perfectly the selected customer and month passes to report 2.
    However Parameter 3: hierarchy is giving me hassles.
    I enter the Hierarchy into the document prompt text and key in editing the document link.
    On selecting the hyperlink I get the error message:
    " Invalid answer 0HIER [ ] for variable ZPCTR_GRP error message WIS 00013."
    Has anybody been able to pass a filtered Hierarchy via Document Links on BO 4.0?
    Regards
    Graham

    Hi,
    I haven't seen this particular issue come through support.
    the warning seems to suggest that an invalid selection has been made, however the brackets [ ]  show nothing!  So perhaps the string's been provided in the wrong format, or text is being returned when infact it needs key. (i'm speculating)
    a few questions to begin:
    - Are you passing a hiearchy interval as a range  parameter ?  (i.e. 2 or more nodes/members from different levels in the hierarchy)
    - Do you notice a difference when using the other viewer technology: DHTML (WEB) vs JAVA (Rich) ?
    It might be worth using the TraceLog service on the webi processing server and DSL_bridge (APS) to capture your workflow, and get more details error messaging.  Also, RSTT trace in BW may catch something of interest.
    Good luck

  • Encrypt data send from a non-SAP system to ECC.

    Hi,
    We are tryign to encrypt the credit card details send from web (non-sap system) via a xml file to ECC.
    From Basis side, I have exported the public key from the ECC for the web server to encrypt the CC details while sending via xml.
    The external web consultants encrypted the cc detail with the public key and send it via xml but that was not able to decrypt at the ECC side.
    The developers were using the FM 'CCARD_DEVELOPE'at ECC to decrypt the data in the xml file. It was saying SSF error: No data transfered.
    Meanwhile SAP CryptoLib is installed and credit card encryption/decryption is working fine for CC details entered via GUI interface.
    Is there anything I am missing out here to encrypt CC details send from a Non-SAP system to ECC.? Do we need to load the SAP cryptolib in the non-SAP system to ecrypt this data at the senders end. Or is there a alternate solution for this ?
    We are in ECC6.0/RHEL/Oracle10204.
    Appreciate your help.
    Thanks

    Hi Nelis,

    This note does not get any information regarding encrypting data from a non-SAP system to SAp system.

  • Multi-Row insert/update/delete not working via db-link

    App. Version: 2.0.0.00.49
    DB: Oracle 9i, not sure about the build
    Problem: Multirow Update/Insert/Delete doesn't work via db-link.
    Error received: ....ORA-1460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested....
    Where: Tabular Form generated via Wizard
    Side note: It's working properly when local table(s) is/are used, it's not working via db-link or view.
    I've encountered this error with single update/insert/delete operations before, but was able to fix it via using temp-variables (v_xyz := :Px_xyz; as the proposed v('Px_xyz') was really slow with my scripts)...but with the automated DML-action I don't see a way to edit it accordingly.
    Workaround found:
    1a) Use local* collection on HTML-DB-Server, then write single row updates/deletes/inserts to the remote DB via DB-Link
    1b) Use local* table on HTML-DB-Server, then write single row updates/deletes/inserts to the remote DB via DB-Link
    * Local = on the same server that HTML-DB is running on...
    So,...to my questions:
    1. Can someone confirm that this is a "known feature" (aka bug)?
    2. Can someone tell me if this "known feature" has been eliminated in the newer version of HTML-DB/APEX (> 2.0.0.00.49)?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Do you have a small test case program that demonstrates this? A JDeveloper project showing what exactly is the problem when trying to use the BDB SQL JDBC driver to insert data into the BDB SQL database? What do you mean by "not working", do you get any errors, you do not get errors but you do not see the data in the database etc?
    What are the versions of Java, JDeveloper, ADF and BDB SQL you are using, and on what OS?

  • Encrypt data of application server..

    Hi,
    Is there any way to encrypt data of application server using a .exe file from user desktop..

    A similiar requirement was imposed by the German tax law (=> http://www.elster.de): encrypted transmission of (tax) data.
    But: due to German export control regulations SAP is not permitted to ship cryptographic software with its products. However, once you've "promised" to comply with those regulations (=> you need to contact the SAP contract department via your local subsidiary) you will be enabled to download the SAPCRYPTOLIB (without any extra charges).
    The SAPSECULIB (part of the shipment) allows only "harmless" cryptographic operations, such as digital signatures.
    The SAPCRYPTOLIB (subject of export control, see above) offers a superset of functionality (compared with SAPSECULIB), particularly the capability to encrypt data.
    The challenging part is the (public) key management. If you only have one single intended recipient (like in the ELSTER scnenario) the configuration is comparably simple. However if you have many potential recipients you need a more sophisticated PKI.

  • Trying to Sync Z10 via Companion Link with ACT 2013

    Hi All,

    I have no experience with the third-party application you are referring to but I have the feeling that it is designed to sync with devices using Legacy Conduits.
    Legacy Conduits used on OS4 and before (and a very few of the early OS5 devices): Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, Memo Pad.
    Extended Conduits used on modern devices: Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Memos.

  • Export to Excel, via a Link on action page

    I have two questions.
    1) How can I export to excel, via a link.  So for example I have a form  and a user clicks submit and I cfoutput the data in a table on the same  page (action page is the same as the input page).  Now, once the data is  output, I would like a link on that same page so the user can click and  it will export the table to Excel.
    I have tried:
        <cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment; filename=test.xls">
        <cfcontent type="application/msexcel">
        <cfoutput query="qTest">
        <table>
        <tr>
        <th>Account</th>
        <th>Amount</th>
        </tr>
        <tr>
        <td>#qTest.ACCOUNT#</td>
        <td>#NumberFormat('#qTest.TotalAmt#', "_(999,999,999.99)")#</td>
        </tr>
        </table>
        </cfoutput>
    But once the page is loaded it tries to export automatically.  How can I  get it to export via a link?
    Also, someone suggested wrapping the cfoutput in a <cfsavecontent  variable="xyz"> tag, but once I do that, how do I put the "xyz"  variable into the <cfcontent> tag?  Or where do I use it?
    Thanks guys

    Here's some additional ways that you can format your output Excel Spreadsheet using CSS - I just copied this from one of my applications to give you an idea. Outputting to Excel is really nice because you can email the file off and you can put links into the cells or whatever. I normally display on the screen, then have the Excel Output button and just copy the whole query over to the Excel output page - it works for Office 2000 to 2007, haven't checked it on later versions. I kept this simple, but you can do all sorts of things with the Styles to make it look pretty. I did not include the query stuff as that would just clutter this up, but you'll get the picture.

  • Connecting to a cube via a linked server

    Hi
    I want to connect to a SSAS cube via a linked server. When I ran a query against the SSAS cube from directly from the SQL server it runs fine.
    If however I run the query in SSMS from my PC I get
    OLE DB provider "MSOLAP" for linked server "SSASServer01" returned message "The following system error occurred: .".
    Msg 7373, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
    Cannot set the initialization properties for OLE DB provider "MSOLAP" for linked server "SSASServer01".
    In the properties on the linked server I've defined an account to use for the connection to get round the double hop issue
    Any Ideas why I'm still getting the error?
    Alex

    Hi Mr P,
    According to your description, you get the error 7373 with message "Cannot set the initialization properties for OLE DB provider "MSOLAP" for linked server "SSASServer01"." when connecting a SSAS cube via linked server.
    Right?
    In this scenario, based on the error code 7373, it points to the issue of MSOLAP provider, please firstly check the properties setting for MSOLAP. Make sure the "Allow Inprocess" is selected. You may also have other options selected depends on
    your query.
    Also check if ports for your server (1434 and 2383) are listening proper locally and externally. Please refer to a similar thread below:

  • EFS, password change denies access to encrypted data

    Hi,
    Has anyone had the issue with admin changing users password in Console One

    Laptop users are using EFS to encrypt their data.
    These users have WinXPPro SP2 and we are running ZfD 6.5SP2.
    I have found IR 1 for ZfD 6.5 SP2 which includes TID3003874 "Personal IE

    not fix the issue.
    Could someone explain in more detail what this fix does as I may have

  • What happens to encrypted data when the server is destroyed?

    Backups to tape are encrypted with a certificate. 
    But what happens if the backup server is destroyed? Do I lose all the backup data on those tapes?
    Can I backup the certificate or is it specific to that specific DPM server?
    In the case of a catastrophic datacenter failure, where everything is lost except the tapes and the certificate, what is the process for recovering the encrypted data?

    You can absolutely backup the certificates used for DPM encryption and you should store those somewhere safe (for example, burn to CD and put in a fireproof safe offsite somewhere secure in an encrypted file).
    This section of TechNet describes the process: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj628058.aspx
    If you had to recreate a DPM server to read the tapes then you'd need to the certificates in the correct certificate store on the DPM server, in addition you'd need to ensure you had the certificates for the certificate chain, if there is one, in the correct
    locations in the cert store.
    Once a cert expires, do not delete it from the DPM until all the tapes that have used that cert are no longer in use or have been overwritten.
    The data would need to be imported through the recovery section in DPM but you'd be able to read and recover the data if the certs were present. No cert = no recovery.

    A few months ago, using hints I found on the internet, I was able to use diskutil command line utililty to create an encrypted partition of the same sort as when turning FileVault on in Security Preferences.  File Vault doe not appear to offer a way to choose some pargt of the disk storage such as an entire drive of a folder on a drive.  I was able to do it and it worked.  When I mount the disk partition to the system (usualy by plugging it in and turning it on), I'm asked for the security pass phrase or key to decrypt it.  Once mounted with the key supplied, I can access it as any other mounted disk with the type of access restrictions that might be present on any disk.Since I want the data to be truly privatem U decline to put the key into the a known place such as the keychain.  I don't want just anyone who has a log on to this iMac to b e able to read this data.  I want them to need to enter a private key to mount the data. 
    My only problem with this is the hoops I needed to go through to do this.  It is complicated and invovlves setting up special partitions for the purpose.
    Searching Finder help for encrypting data it offered a solution for data on a removable drive.  The stepsare very simple and easy to do:
       a) Mount the files to be encrypted if they are not  online.  They also need to be in a folder or even an entire partition.
        b) Open Disk Utility (GUI version)
        c)Choose File > New > Disk Image From Folder (or New-> Disk Image ffrom a Device).
        d) Select the folder or disk you want to encrypt.
        e) A save dialog will pop up.  Select the name of the archive you wish to create and select a location.  I choose a removable disk partition which has enouh space.  Select Compressed if you wish.  Then Select Encryption and choose the key size for encryption from the drop dwon.  When you click Save, Disk Utility begins creating a disk image that is (possibly) compressed and probably encrypted.  Once done, the files in the folder or partiion are hiddent behind the encryption.  To get to them, you much open the DMG file and supply the password to unlock the encryption.  You can save the key in the keychain if you are not worreid about who can get in.  If you wish to restrict access to fewer people, keep the key secret and provide a recovery mechanism that is suitable for you need.
       f)  One the archive is created, the disk partition containing it may b4 mounted on the system (if it is not there already) and by opening the dmg file you will be asked for the key.  The system will validate that the key works and the encryption and comprewssion are working.  The archive will be mounted as a virual disk.  It can be accessed by any useer of that computer unless the file permissions get in the way.  Mounting it only when the computer is being used by authorized people allow you to mount and dismount the archive for use during a limited time.
    I have a couple of questions here.  Is there an easier way to do this?  Is this encryption as strong as that used in FileVault? 

    No. I don't know why it would not be, except it is easier for a person to leave the disk mounted where anyone can then see it. With FileVault forcing a password on wake from sleep, it will likely be encrypted if anyone found it.
    I'm not sure why you went to the trouble you did before, except the instructions might have been to create an encrypted partition as opposed to creating the disk image. Disk images have been around for at least a decade.
    If you plan on backing up the image with Time Machine, use a sparse bundle disk image as it will write the data to small files, called stripes. Only the stripes that change get backed up instead of the entire image.

  • Error not getting while executing procedure via db link

    Hi,
    I am executing a database procedure remotely via database link from SQL prompt (SQL > EXECUTE REPLICATE_DATA@DBLK_SALE), and while getting any connectivity issue system is not giving any error (it is just showing as not responding)..
    if I am executing the same procedure directly in the remote database then it is giving error as
    ORA-02055: distributed update operation failed; rollback required
    ORA-02068: following severe error from DBLK_SALE
    ORA-03135: connection lost contact
    Can someone can help me on this
    Regards

    Dear 823755,
    You can think the Database link as a new sqlplus session to the distributed database. You should have defined a user to connect to that remote database and the user has to have the necessary privileges to revoke the relevant object. Does it have that privilege? Can you even connect to the remote database instance?
    SQL> SELECT * FROM DUAL@DBLK_SALE;Regards.
