How to connect from InformixDB to SQL Server 2012 (and copy data)

Hello guys
I try to build a connection from an Informix (Informix2000) database to my SQL Server 2012.
I really dont know how to do this...
The plan is to build a job in the night in which data is beeing copied from the InformixDB to my SQL Server 2012
The SQL server should be like a "archive server" (same data as informix DB , but the data should stay for 2 years)
Any idea if this is possible ? (what im trying to do)
Can i do this with ODBC Connection ?
Thanks a lot and Regards, Dominic

Thanks a lot guys... but what im trying to do is not to migrate the hole Informix DB to SQL 2012, i just want to copy some data into my SQL Server (archive). in the informix DB the data is only 30days back... i want to transfer every week
the data and let it on the SQL Server 2 years back. (SQL Server should be like an archive system)
Hello ,
Then you need to create an SSIS package to migrate data from Informix to SQL Server 2008 since Informix is old I dont know which connection provider to use but you can try ADO.NET connection provider
Can you check below link

Hi ,
Thanks for your reply.
Contents of my initMYSQLSERVERDSN.ora file is
# This is a sample agent init file that contains the HS parameters that are
# needed for an ODBC Agent.
# HS init parameters
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = MYSQLSERVERDSN
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 0
HS_FDS_TRACE_FILE_NAME = hsmsql.trc
# Environment variables required for the non-Oracle system
#set <envvar>=<value>
set ODBCINI=c:\WINDOWS\ODBC.INI
SALIHKM.DOMAIN.COM is my system in which Oracle Test DB is Installed.
SQL Server is in another location.
In Tnsnames i specified ip address.
One more doubt.
I am using 10g Release 2 demo version.
whether it will support Hetrogeneous Services?
How to know whether a database supports HS or not?

How to open sdf files in SQL server 2012?

How to open sdf files in SQL server 2012?
I couldn’t figure out how to open the sdf files in SQL server 2012
Thank you
Best
Jamal

I don't think it's hard if understood the question properly you can try this I do it most of the time and this might be the solution for you, sometimes minor simple click is a life saver:)
1.
Open SQL Server Management Studio, or if it's running select File -> Connect Object Explorer... and click the
connect drop down arrow
2.
In the Connect to Server dialog you will see Database Enghine, Analaysis Servie on so on and you go head change Server type to
SQL Server Compact Edition
3.
From the Database file drop-down as shown below click the drop down arrow and select <
Browse for more...>
4.
And you will see C:\, D:\, G:\
drive and so on and open, your SDF file where it is located
I hope this has been informative for you and good luck

Migrating Data from MySQL to SQL Server 2012

Hi all,
I'm Migrating a database from MySQL to SQL Server 2012, using SSMA for MySQL v5.2.1258. I've got the schema migrated over and have resolved any migration issues (stored procedures / views), but when it comes to migrating over the data I'm just hitting
a wall.
None of the data is migrating and when the migration report is displayed every table has a red x against it's Status. The Output box has the following:
Data migration operation has finished.
0 table(s) successfully migrated.
0 table(s) partially migrated.
64 table(s) failed to migrate.
I've seen on the forum that someone else was having the same problem
(http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlservermigration/thread/b835f4b3-3d93-42a4-9b6b-d21d3dfd8dab/)
I've set the project settings mode to default, still getting the same error and tried using both Client Side Data Migration and Server Side migration, with both giving the same result. I've tried going through the step-by-step blog as well.
I am doing something really stupid? There are 64 tables, so don't really want to try doing exports from each table and importing it into the new database.
Hope someone can help.
Cheers
Alex

Hello,
I don’t have suggestions for you, but you can try contacting the SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) Team via e-mail ([email protected])
to see if they can provide a solution on this scenario.
Hope this helps.

Install AD / SQL Server 2012 and SharePoint 2013 on a single server as Development Environment

Hi All,
I'm planning to prepare a SharePoint 2013 development environment. The current idea is to install Domain controller, SQL Server 2012 and SharePoint 2013 all on a single server. Even though this is for development purposes,
would there be any limitations specially when it comes to SP 2013 functionalities according to your experience?
Some articles i referred.

Hi
i understand this is a sandbox environment but you should be able to install everything.

How to connect musicdb to Microsoft SQL Server

hi..
i have tried musicdb example with mysql, but i need to connect it to SQL Server.
i have created a similar DB in SQL SERVER, however i am not able to create a user, similar to musicdbuser and musicdbpass in SQL SERVER.
Also in the Administrator console i followed these steps.
1. Applications->web Applications->deployed the war file-> OK
2.Resources->JDBC->Connection Pool->New->Name ='musicdb-jdbc-pool-SQLserver'->Resource Type='javax.sql.Datasource'->Database Vendor='Microsoft SQL SERVER'-> Next
added properties Values
databaseName musicdb(this is the database i created in MS SQL SERVER)
databaseSourceName musicdb(this is the DSN name i created in control panel->ODBC connections)
networkProtocol TCP
user sa (this is the username that i use to start SQL SERVER)
password syntel123$ (this is the password that i use with the above user )
portNumber 1443
serverName localhost
then i click finish.
if i say ping to this connection , i get success!!
3. then i goto resources->jdbc->jdbc resources->new->JNDI Name="jdbc/musicdb"->pool name="musicdb-jdbc-pool-SQLserver'"->ok
4. Then i click resources->connectors->connector connection pool->new->Name="mep/musicdb"->resource adapter="ds-jcr-connector-jaxrs"->next->finish
5 Then i click resources->connector resources->new->JNDI name="mep/musicdb"->pool="mep/musicdb"->ok
however when i hit the URL http://localhost:8080/musicdb/resources/albums
i get the following error
type : Exception report
message
description: The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.
exception: javax.servlet.ServletException: com.sun.jersey.api.container.ContainerException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.sun.mep.ws.vtms.util.ConnectionPool

root cause: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.sun.mep.ws.vtms.util.ConnectionPool

Hi,
I was able to create a JDBC connection pool for SQL Server successfully and will share the key steps, and was able to create a MEP user with an ECBO connection configured for the SQL Server; However, it looks like there is a "false positive" problem. Even though the user was created with the SQL Server connector whose associated JDBC connection pool passed the Ping test, doing a sync as that user changed the MySQL database album table and not the SQL Sever album table. MEP didn't give any error at all. I will bring this up with our engineers.
Here are the steps for at least getting GF JDBC connections with SQL Server working.
1. With MS SQL Sever 2005 Server Management Studio,
created a 'musicdb' database, a 'musicdbuser' user with password 'musicdbpass',
and added the 'album' table with
name (varchar(30) primary key, not null)
artist (varchar(30), not null)
date_published (datetime, not null)
rating (int, not null)
username (varchar(30), not null)
2. With MS SQLServer Configuration Manager, enable TCP/IP on static IP address
and 127.0.0.1 on port 1433 and restarted the SQL Server service
3. Downloaded Microsoft's 2.0 Driver for SQL Server 2005
4. Copied the driver sqljdbc4.jar to GF_HOME/domains/mep/lib/ext
5. Restarted GF
6. Login to GF Admin Console
7. Create Resources -> JDBC -> Connection Pool
name: musicdb_pool_sqlserver
resource type: javax.sql.DataSource
datasource class: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDataSource
8. Create Resources -> JDBC -> Resource
name jdbc/musicdb_sqlserver
9. Go back to musicdb_pool_sqlserver and click Additional Properties then add
user: musicdbuser
password: musicdbpass
serverName=localhost
portNumber=1433
databaseName=musicdb
10. Click General tab and click Ping. Get Success!

How to recover from mdf file (SQL Server 2000)

Hi,
My database corrupted because when I was running an update query, there is a power failure. After the computer booted, I cannot open the database anymore, it just not responding. Then I stop the sql server service, and tried to rename the .mdf and .ldf. After that it worked normally, but I need the data from the corrupted mdf file, I tried to attach the database but it just hanged. I even tried to attach without the .ldf file but it didn't work either, so I concluded that the problem is with the mdf file.
Is there any way to recover my data ??
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Edwin

Try this undocumented stuff provided by Kevin [MS].
==========
1. Back up the .mdf/.ndf files at first!!!
2. Change the database context to Master and allow updates to system tables:
Use Master
Go
sp_configure 'allow updates', 1
reconfigure with override
Go
3. Set the database in Emergency (bypass recovery) mode:
select * from sysdatabases where name = '<db_name>'
-- note the value of the status column for later use in # 6
begin tran
update sysdatabases set status = 32768 where name = '<db_name>'
-- Verify one row is updated before committing
commit tran
4. Stop and restart SQL server.
5. Call DBCC REBUILD_LOG command to rebuild a "blank" log file based on the
suspected db.
The syntax for DBCC REBUILD_LOG is as follows:
DBCC rebuild_log('<db_name>','<log_filename>')
where <db_name> is the name of the database and <log_filename> is
the physical path to the new log file, not a logical file name. If you
do not
specify the full path, the new log is created in the Windows NT system
root
directory (by default, this is the Winnt\System32 directory).
6. Set the database in single-user mode and run DBCC CHECKDB to validate
physical consistency:
sp_dboption '<db_name>', 'single user', 'true'
DBCC checkdb('<db_name>')
Go
begin tran
update sysdatabases set status = <prior value> where name = '<db_name>'
-- verify one row is updated before committing
commit tran
Go
7. Turn off the updates to system tables by using:
sp_configure 'allow updates', 0
reconfigure with override
Go

How to join a Domain Controller Server to an two-tier (SQL Server 2012) and Sharepoint 2013 (SP2013) farm

Hi,
I am trying to build a 3-tier SharePoint 2013 farm.
1. SQL Server 2012, Windows 2012 VM
2. DC Server, Windows 2012 VM
3. SharePoint 2013, Windows 2012 VM
I didn't built the DC server. Someone else did. However, I created about 14 service domain user accounts for SQL Server and SharePoint install and operation.
I was able to join the SQL Server into the SharePoint server farm using SharePoint 2013 Product Configuration Wizard. When I start the Central Admin, and click on Servers in the Farm, I only see the SharePoint server and SQL server,
but the DC server is not listed. Any suggestion on what did I miss?
Thanks
Jean

You cannot join the Domain Controller to your SharePoint farm. You must instead join each server from that farm to the domain that is served up by that DC. You will want to uninstall SharePoint and probably SQL before you do this. If it's
an option, I would re-provision your VMs completely and start fresh. Once you login to a new server, join that server to the target domain like this:
http://www.petri.co.il/join-windows-server-2012-to-domain.htm
You'd have to ensure that your DNS resolves to the target domain on the server being joined to the domain. If it doesn't, you can always use HOSTS entries to overcome that in the short term.
Once you've joined both the future SQL and SharePoint servers to the domain, you can install SQL Server and then SharePoint on their prospective servers to create your farm.
I trust that answers your question...
Thanks

Can SharePoint 2010 read data from an external SQL Server 2012 data Source?

Hi,
I would like to Know whether SharePoint can read the data from a SQL server 2012 external data source?
I am not talking about SharePoint internal database. I need to get the data from an sql database which is used by some other application. For My SharePoint server I am using SQL 2008 R2 as an internal database engine. But I need to get some other data from
another data Source which is configured in SQL server 2012. Can any one help me on this whether is there any problem on accessing the data from SQL 2012. If there is no problem for that, please provide me the version of SQL data source compatible with
SharePoint 2010 and SP 2010 sp1.
Thanks!
Regards,
Henoy

Hi Romeo ,
I have already visited this page. But there is no answer for my question. I just want to know whether we
can done the same from a SQL 2012 server.
Please help me to know whether SharePoint 2010 is Compatible to get the data from SQL 2012 external data source.

Domain computers can't runt RD Web applications when connected from outside company – Windows server 2012 R2

Hi Everyone,
I have a question related to RDweb service.
I have successfully installed RD web role on windows server 2012 R2.
All went ok. I also installed a valid third party certificate.
I can connect from outside to the server and run applications using any devices: Ipad’s, mobiles and laptops.
The problem is that: Any Computer/Laptop that is joined on the domain can connect to RDWEB from outside the company BUT CAN'T RUN ANY APPLICATIONS. The RD session is taking long time it failes.
Note that from inside the network is working.
What it can be?
Thank you in advance,
Criss

Hi,
The internet connection from where I’m doing the tests is quite good. I think the error with the latency is not relevant because probably the computerRD gateway it doesn’t allow it and that way it fails with this error. For a computer that never been joined
on the domain is working perfect no delay at all..
We are using RD Gateway … installed everything on the same machine Windows server 2012 R2.
When I click RemoteApp I see the remote the prompt of RD gateway, I click ok, then nothing happened for 2-3 min. after this time it brings the error with the delay.. OR “couldn’t connect on the remote computer because an error occurred on the remote
computer that you want to connect to.”
Again, the connection is failing ONLY when we try to connect from outside the company and it happened ONLY with the Computers that are joined on the Domain.
EX: An user (with Office Laptop - joined on domain) can connect to RD Gateway and lunch the RemoteApp’s from inside LAN but when is leaving Home can’t run the Remote App;s. In the meantime he can connect and run RemoteApp’s with his private computer.
What it can be different between the Office and his home private computer?
For Outside users we’ve have open only port 443 on firewall. Why need to open UPD 3391?
I’ve notice that if I take a laptop that is working and join it on the domain it will have the same issue. If will dis-join it will still have the same issue after all.
Thank You
