How to install MySQL driver for ODI Studio?

Hi,
I follow the docs to install driver. http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/core.1111/e16453/install.htm#CHDBIFAJ
First I downloaded MySQL Java connector from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/. Then copy the jar file to C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Roaming\odi\oracledi\userlib. But ODI Studio cannot show this JDBC driver, when I created a new Data Server.
Is there any additional step need to do?

Hi Sukande,
Deployment procedure is same irrespective of operating system.
On AIX, you have to copy the file com.sap.aii.adapter.lib.sda to your desktop and modify using winrar as explained in the below article and copy the modified file back to the respective path on AIX server.

Driver for Excel

I am trying to create Physical Connection for Excel. Couldn't find the driver. Whats the driver and url for M.S.Excel

Hi,
you need to use the JDBC-ODBC driver for the excel file. You need to create an ODBC connection for the excel file.
Hope this weblink helps you:

Driver for Officejet 6500 E709a needs to be updated. Currently causes distortion of Excel sheets.

Per Microsoft, the driver for the Officejet 6500 E709a needs to be updated in order to resolve a problem which causes distortion of MS Excel worksheets. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-excel/excel-2010-scrolling-problem/166a8...
From the forum page linked above:
If the issue occurs in safe mode too, change the default printer and check. If Excel works fine after changing the default printer then contact printer manufacturer to update the printer drivers.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

There is always a chance that a glitch has occurred with the original driver install. Therefore, I always recommend, though it may not be an update, reinstalling the printer and software if necessary. It has solved a number of different types of problems.

How do I setup my time capsule to be a hard drive for two macs?

I basically want to be able to use my time capsule as a hard drive for both my imac and macbook pro to save storage on both but obviously to have access to everything on both machines. How do I set this up?
Thanks.

I would recommend you use an excellent backup App that is capable of doing what you want, such as "Carbon Copy Cloner" or "Superduper".

Icloud drive for storage

I have an external hard drive that is dying. I was trying to use Dropbox to store my iTunes and iPhoto library but they are bigger than my hard drive (which Dropbox requires). Does anyone know if iCloud Drive will allow that or is it requiring files to be stored locally? Before I but a new external hard drive I was curious.

An iPhoto library cannot be stored in the cloud. That's because it needs to be on a volume/drive that is formatted OS X Extended (journaled) in order to keep the complex ecosystem of files, links, databases, etc, within the library package intact.
You will need a new external HD. I suggest getting an EHD that is 2x - 3x the size of the HDs that contain the files you want to backup and use it with Time Machine to backup everything up. Excellent drives are available from Otherworldcomputing.com. They have a great reputation for quality hardware and excellent support.

Windows 7 driver for HP Photosmart 7850... HELP!

Bought a new Toshiba laptop with Windeows 7, 64 bit operating system. Cannot get PC to recognize/connect with my HP printer model Photosmart 7850. Went to HP website to install driver and I am not successful I'm told by one person the driver for these two devices is not available or does not exist. Does this mean that I discard a 4 year old HP printer that is in excellent working order and buy new? Tell me it's not true. I followed the directions on the HP website as directed by The Geek Squad, but without success. My pc skills are pretty limited. I need help! Somebody please!

hi,
Check this link regarding the full feature driver of your printer that will work with your Windows 7 computer, click here.
Nevertheless, this is a workaround to use the full feature software driver by using the software driver used for vista, by running compatibility. Click here to download and save the full feature driver for vista on your desktop
>rightclick the filename of the full feature that you downloaded and saved on your desktop
>select properties
>click on the compatibility tab under the properties window
>select windows vista service pack 2 under the RUN THIS PROGRAM UNDER COMPATIBILITY mode
>provide a checkmark for the option saying RUN PROGRAM as an administator under PRIVELEGE LEVEL
>hit apply then press ok!
*double leftclick the filename of the dwnloaded driver to begin installation

Basic question regarding SSIS 2010 Package where source is Microsoft Excel 97-2005 and there is no Microsoft office or Excel driver installed in Production

Hi all,
I got one basic question regarding SSIS 2010 Package where source is Microsoft Excel 97-2005. I wanted to know How this package works in production where there is no Microsoft office or Excel driver installed. To check that there is excel driver installed
or not, I followed steps: Start-->Administrative Tools--> Data Sources(ODBC)-->Drivers and I found only 2 drivers one is SQL Server and another one is SQL Server Native Client 11.0.
Windows edition is Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise, Service Pack-1 and System type is 64-bit Operating System.
We are running this package from SQL Server Agent and using 32-bit (\\Machine_Name\d$\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Binn\DTExec.exe /FILE "\\Machine_Name\d$\ Folder_Name\EtL.dtsx" /CONFIGFILE "\\Machine_Name\d$\Folder_Name\Config.dtsConfig"
/MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E) to run this package. I opened the package and tried to find out what connection we have used and found that we have used "Excel Connection Manager" and ConnectionString=Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=F:\Fares.xls;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES"; and source is ‘Excel Source’
I discussed with my DBA and He said that SSIS is having inbuilt Excel driver but I am not convinced.
Could anyone please clear my confusion/doubt?
I have gone through various links but my doubt is still not clear.

Thanks Shiven:) If Answer is Helpful, Please Vote

Hi S Kumar Dubey,
In SSIS, the Excel Source and Excel Destination natively use the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider which is installed by SQL Server. The Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider deals with .xls files created by Excel 97-2003. To deal with .xlsx files created by
Excel 2007, we need the Microsoft ACE OLEDB Provider. SQL Server doesn’t install the Microsoft ACE OLEDB Provider, to get it we can install the
2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components or
Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable or Microsoft Office suit.
The drivers listed in the ODBC Data Source Administrator are ODBC drivers not OLEDB drivers, therefore, the Excel Source/Destination in SSIS won’t use the ODBC driver for Excel listed in it by default. On a 64-bit Windows platform, there are two versions
of ODBC Data Source Administrator. The 64-bit ODBC Data Source Administrator is C:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe, while the 32-bit one is C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe. The original 32-bit and 64-bit ODBC drivers are installed by the Windows operating system.
By default, there are multiple 32-bit ODBC drivers and fewer 64-bit ODBC drivers installed on a 64-bit platform. To get more ODBC drivers, we can install the 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components or Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable.
Besides, please note that 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components only install 32-bit ODBC and OLEDB drivers because it only has 32-bit version, but the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable has both 32- bit version and 64-bit
version.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000 (& other 1TB drives) for my Early 2005 Power Mac G5

Hello there:
Like everyone and there grandmother I want a terrabyte drive! But I'm a little concerned.
The Power Mac G5 only supports the first SATA spec (1.5 Gb/s) and all the of the new drives being sold these days are of the SATA II spec (3.0 Gb/s) and use NCQ or TCQ technologies.
I’m really trying to avoid having to install a host bus adapter of any sort to use my new drive(s).
I would like to here from G5 mac users that have installed these drives or other terrabyte drives:
Did you have performance problems, did you have to do “special stuff” to get them to work???
Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000 1TB (HDS721010KLA330) - from what I’ve read this drive does not auto-negotiate to the slower SATA I spec and you have to do something to the firmware in Windows- scarry!
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1TB (ST31000340AS)- users of other seagate products have reported a stiff performance penalty when installed in Power Mac G5
And while I’m at I like to here about experiences with the Samsung HD103UJ- I hear lots DOA drives but when these do work their faster that Raptors and that’s super fast!!!
Hopefully my trepidation is unfounded. I just don’t want computer drama... that’s for Windows users ;op
Thanks,
Mike Diaz

Hi-
Welcome to Discussions!
A good place to check on drives, is the Drive Compatibility Data base at Xlr8yourmac.
The Hitachi is reported to be a great drive in the G5, and I have heard/read nothing of this so called "do something to the firmware in Windows" stuff. Mike, the main man at Xlr8 speaks very highly of the Hitachi in his G5.
Another drive that gets great reviews is the Western Digital SE16, and RE2 series. The Green Power also shows to be an excellent drive....
Here's how the "big boys" stack up in a MacPro, tests run by Barefeats, an excellent source on Mac performance related topics. This article tests various drives in the G5.
This article compares the Hitachi, Samsung and WD GP drives.

Internal Hard Drives for Apple Mac Pro

Hello there,
Does any one have some advice on the following internal HDs. I am in Germany and this is what I have found that I am interested in. I just don't know if they all are for Apple Mac Pro because the provider doesn't specify.
1) HD 1000GB Western Digital RE2 GP, SATA, intern, 3,5'', 7200rpm, 16MB Cache, RoHS compliant, 5 years warranty (not bad eh?) = 139,00 €
2) HD 1000GB Samsung SpinPoint F1 HD103UJ SATA intern 7200rpm 32MB Cache 8,9ms: 109,00 €
3) HD Seagate Barracuda ES.2, 1000GB, SAS, intern, 3,5'', 7200rpm, 16MB Cache, 8,5ms, 5 years warranty: 214,00 €
Any bad experience with Wester Digital? Or recommendations for internal hard drives, they are greatly appreciated!
I was wondering too, does it affect the hard drive, that the bigger it is the shorter it will live? I love having 1T, and I already got 2T EXTERNALS from WesternDigital. But I am certainly concerned that the bigger they get, the more chances to fail the might have. Does this make sense?
I am also a little doubtful about internals, they seem to fail faster than the externals, is this true in most cases?
I just want to have the capability of storing my Aperture Library in an internal HD, for easy access and all the images on an external drive.
Thank you for the advice!!
Cheers!
E.

I would get WD Black, Hitachi (latest, not their earlier model) or Seagate (no need to spend on ES).
WD has been excellent in Mac Pro, I just would skip on GP.
I only had one drive with 4 bad blocks in 20 WD drives.
Personally, I would get 4 x 640GB WD Caviar drives for internal. They are fast, quiet, and run cool. And sells for US$80.

The best external hard drives for macs

Can anyone recommend a good external hard drive for a mac computer; preferably the IMac OS 10.5.6 desktop. Thanks!

Personal Experience with the One Touch Series:
Keep a VERY CLOSE EYE on that Maxtor One Touch!
I had two of the 1TB Firewire 800 models at one point. Hard drives failed on one of them within a month. Warranty replaced the unit but not the data. After a year, the tiny fans died and the drives overheated, resulting in total loss of both enclosures and all the data on them (within a week of each other).
Those things are not meant for continuous use. If you only use them for periodic backup purposes, and then shut them off, they may be fine.
Maxtor's setup software for the Mac was a PITA, too. The version included on the disc was worthless. Disk label indicated one version, actual version on the disc was an older, incompatible version. Maxtor sent a replacement disc. It was the same disc with the same problem. Finally located the correct installer on their website. That was a few years ago.
I'll never touch the touch series again as a result.
On the other hand, I've had a SmartDisk FireLite 60 GB (FireWire model) for my Powerbook for 5 years now with excellent performance. I have no problem recommending SmartDisk drives.

Exception: DBD, [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] Syntax error in FROM clause.

Dear experts,
I'm trying to create an universe linked to an Excel File.
I've created the ODBc connection and the DNS Data Source and inserted the table (table name RAC$) in the Universe. however, when I try to map each table field in the universe's Objects I'm getting this error message:
"Exception: DBD, [ODBC Excel Driver] Syntax error in FROM clause.State:37000".
I've tried to rename the table, inserting square brackects and also add new parameters to the universe («Transactional Available = "Yes"» and «Delimited Identifier = "Yes"») but still no solution to my problem.
Any advice, tip or trick?
Thank you. My best regards.

Choosing jdbc driver for Oracle 9.0.1 with sdk 1.4.1?

Hi all experts...
I am really beating my head over this... I had java sdk 1.3.1 installed and i am writing an application for oracle database 9.0.1 The driver i had was a classes12.zip file that i included in the classpath to run the application.
Now, i have upgraded my java to 1.4.1 but my application is not picking up the zip file anymore! I am getting No suitable driver:08001 error and NoClassDefFoundError. I checked the oracle website, they dont have a 9.0.1 driver for sdk 1.4.
Is my current driver compatible?
Do i have to upgrade my oracle DB to 9.2 and use another driver?
Or is just one of those classpath problems?
Part of my code is given below:
private static Statement createStatement(String driver, String url, String user, String password)throws IllegalArgumentException, SQLException, ClassNotFoundException
if (url == null || driver == null)
     throw new IllegalArgumentException("No database specified");
try
Class.forName(driver);
catch(ClassNotFoundException e)
System.out.println("Class not found: "+driver);
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, password);
return conn.createStatement();
CLASSPATH=C:\projects\MauiWSxml\resources\classes12.zip;
I will be grateful to any help ...Pleeeeessseeee
Thanks in advance

Error deploying JDBC driver for SQL Server 2005

Hi all
I'm trying to deploy a JDBC driver for MS SQL Server 2005 (downloaded [here|http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C47053EB-3B64-4794-950D-81E1EC91C1BA&displaylang=en]). When I try to deploy it according to the instructions found [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/51/735d4217139041e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm] it fails.
The error in the logs doesn't give any useful information though. It only says Error occurred while deploying component ".\temp\dbpool\MSSQL2005.sda".
Has anyone else deployed a driver for SQL Server 2005, or perhaps have any suggestions of what else I could try?
Thanks
Stuart

Hi Vladimir
That's excellent news! Thanks for the effort you've put into this. I'm very impressed with how seriously these issues are dealt with, specifically within the Java EE aspects of SAP.
May I make two suggestions on this topic:
1. Given that NWA has such granular security permissions, please could the security error be shown when it is raised? This would help immediately identify that the problem isn't actually a product error, but rather a missing security permission (and thus save us time and reduce your support calls).
2. Please could the role permissions be clearly documented (perhaps they already are, and I just couldn't find the docs?) so we know what is and isn't included in the role. The name is very misleading, as a "superadmin" is generally understood to have no limitation on their rights - so clear documentation on what is in-/excluded would be most helpful.
On a related topic, I came across another issue like this that may warrant your attention (while you're already looking into NWA security issues). I logged a support query about it (ref: 0120025231 0000753421 2008) in case you can retrieve details there (screenshots, logs, etc.). It's basically a similar security constraint when trying to create a Destination. I'm not sure if this is something you would like to include as standard permissions within the NWA_SUPERADMIN role or not, but I think it's worth consideration.
Thanks again for your help!
Cheers
Stuart
