Heterogeneous services help !!!

I am trying to connect to mysql 5 from oracle 9i both on same machine in windows 2003.
I am using generic connectivity through mysql ODBC connector.
For that I have :-
Downloaded and install and configure Mysql ODBC connector 3.51
Configure :
DSN :-Mysql5
description:- XXXXXX
server :- localhost
user :- oracle ( mysql user )
pass :- oracle ( mysql pass )
Database :- oraclecall ( created in Mysql )
test connection success !!!
created "initMysql5.ora" in $ORACLE_HOME\hs\admin , and its parameters are :-
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = Mysql5
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 0
IN listener.ora add new entry :
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = Mysql5)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle)
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
tnsnames.ora entry :-
Mysql5 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = compaq-60b3b6a3)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = Mysql5)
(SOURCE_ROUTE = YES)
(HS=OK)
sqlnet.ora entry :-
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, ONAMES, HOSTNAME)
then , lsnrctl stop --> lsnrctl start
then created a public db link Mysql5 connect to oracle identified by oracle using Mysql5
the link is created succesfully.
Then finally when i tried to access the mysql table , it giving error :-
SQL> select * from tester@Mysql5;
select * from tester@Mysql5
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name
Please any one help Me in this !!!!

  • 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.
    http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:4406709207206
    And for the Heterogenous Services, look at the doc guide of it here,

  • 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

  • Heterogeneous Services & SQL Server

    I understand that connecting an Oracle database to a SQL Server database can be done using the Heterogeneous Services which will set up a Transparent Gateway to the SQL Server data. Where can I get the agent needed to connect the two though? Are there different agents for different Oracle/SQL Server version combinations?
    I have the paper 'Oracle8 Distributed Database Systems Release 8.0 A58247-01, Chapter 7: Administering Oracle Heterogeneous Services', and it is very helpful in getting the basics, but I need more info for my particular situation. Supposedly the agent has an Installationand User's Guide which would assist me also.

    Do you have any pending statements in dba 2pc pending?
    Your init parameters seems good. you need to check with the network guys for the packages sent from Oracle is received by sql server and vice versa. Hope there is no block on redirect ports.
    You can enable tracing and see if you get any valid points in this direction.
    As you said about trigger, look for the privileges in sql server does the user you are connecting has all the privilege on the associated tables. Also the conditions on the trigger has to be satisfied for the execution.
    Also you need to add some HS parameters for the recovery in case you may need.

  • 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 & Oracle Generic Connectivity For DBF file?

    Dear All,
    Can We Create dbf file directly means without using CSV file?
    Can we use Heterogeneous Services & Oracle Generic Connectivity for creating dbase DBF file or Writing in dbase DBF file?
    I have used it for Excel and Access for connectivity with Oracle 9i
    but I dont have any idea about dbase DBF file?
    Any help in this reagards will be highly appriciatalble.
    Thanks

    HSODBC/DG4ODBC is generic connectivity and you find the generic setup in:
    Note.109730.1 How to setup generic connectivity (HSODBC) for 32 bit Windows (Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003)
    There is nothing sepcial for DBF's. Just define a system ODBC DSN using a DBASE ODBC driver pointing to the DBF file.
    The rest is absolute similar to the note.
    If you have already a running HSODBC/DG4ODBC the quickest test is to just define a new system dsn for the DBF file, then change in the init>hsodbc/dg4odbc>.ora file the HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO parameter pointing to the newly created system DSN. Last step is within the Oracle db to define a database link.

  • 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.

    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

    The link is created successfully.
    I then try to run a query and get the following error :

  • Oracle heterogeneous services in 10g r2

    The dba configured oracle heterogeneous services to connect to a SQL Server database.
    The purpose of doing this is to select from a view in SQL Server.
    We are able to select. But as soon as a where clause is introduced, the session just hangs.
    So we thought it might be because we are accessing a view.
    We then created a table in SQL Server and inserted all the data into the table. However, the select with a where clause does not work.
    We then created a table in Oracle and selected from the view in SQL Server to insert data into the oracle table . Once the data is in an Oracle table, we are able to select and use a where clause. We do not want to bring data into Oracle as the data architect is trying to avoid a duplication scenario.
    The DBA is not able to find what is wrong. Can someone please help. Have you seen a similar issue?
    The oracle version is 10.2.0.4 and sql server is 2000.
    Thanks,
    ksd

    If the application is using sequences, it cannot require that values are not skipped. Oracle sequences will never be gap-free. And assuming that there are multiple users, the order of transactions and the order of sequence generated values cannot be guaranteed.
    I suppose that if your failover process was manual and scheduled and the downtime window was sufficient (i.e. you're failing over because you're taking one server down for scheduled maintenance, not because there was an unexpected fault), you could set up a script that would shut down the application, iterate over the sequences on the master getting the next value, alter the local sequences (presumably by altering the increment, selecting the next value from the local sequences, and returning the increment to 1), and then allow the application to start on the new server. If your downtime window is sufficient, when the primary has an unscheduled failure, you could potentially do a SELECT MAX(primary key) on each table on the local system (while the application is down), alter the sequences and then allow the application to start running. Neither is a particularly pretty option, and the latter option can be quite expensive if there is a lot of data.

  • 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.

  • Create Heterogeneous Services Initialization File

    Hello, I am new to oracle as I am a student. I have installed Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Enterprise Edition.
    I want to use a Microsoft Excel file as a source file. In the help center it says that I must create the Heterogeneous Services Initialization File in a specific directory using these commands: HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = odbc_excel
    HS_AUTOREGISTER = TRUE
    HS_DB_NAME = dg4odbc
    My question is where should I run these commands ?
    If I have to do it in SQL Plus, how do I go to the specific path? When SQL Plus opens it just writes SQL> and I dont know how I can go to the path I want to so I can run the commands.
    I can go through the Command Prompt but it obviously doesn't recognize these commands.
    Any answer would be enlightening. Thanks.

    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/owb.112/e10582/loading_ms_data.htm
    You do not need to run the command from Sql*Plus
    HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = odbc_excel
    HS_AUTOREGISTER = TRUE

  • 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.
