How to make/connect a SP_2010 List a Web Database

I have a MS Access front-end data entry database in a local network that is connected to a SP_2010 List that I use as backend.
> I build another front end (let call it Dashboard DB) to display this database data
> I then copy the SP List structure and data, make a Table and populated for my Dashboard DB, converted it to a Web Database, upload to SP_2010 to test, it works fine great SP/Access feature.
> Now I need to replace the Web Database table with the SP List? Or link it.
What I want to accomplish is to do data entry form a Local Network Client to a Web Database. How can I make my List the Web DB data source? I’ve seen that with SharePoint Designer you can make External Content Type, can this be done?
Before someone ask, the data entry cannot be converted to Web DB (too complex)
How can I make a SP_2010 List a data source (backend) for a MS Access database that has been upload to SP as Web Database?

You can do that via SPD and BCS. Check out my article at

How to make connection to ORACLE 7.1.6

Hi,
May I have suggestions on how to make connection to ORACLE 7.1.6 on UNIX box?
Thank you very much for help!
Jane

Oracle 7.1.6 hasn't been supported by Oracle in many years. I don't believe that any Oracle product is currently certified to connect to a 7.1.6 database.
You really need to consider upgrading your database. At least if you went to the 7.3.4 patchset, you'd have a fighting chance. This was the terminal Oracle7 patchset, so most products were still certified against it 12-18 months ago. If you're lucky, they'll still work, though they won't be certified.
If you need a certified combination, you'll have to upgrade to 8i or 9i.

When you change PC how to make connection with iphone and new PC

when you change PC how to make connection with iphone and new PC

Yes, you can do it the same as any other database. The code would be similar.
I'd also suggest you not to use the JDBC ODBC bridge for connection. There are other drivers available for that.

How to make a form for input in web interface builder

Hi expert:
How to make a form for input in web interface builder?I have already used it to do PS planning, but I don't know how to draw lines and checkboxes . Thanks in advance.
Allen

WAD:
Open the WAD and create a new template. On the left hand navigation you will have several Web Items available. Under 'Standard' you have 'Analysis' item. Pull that into your template to the right. Under the Properties tab you need to pick the query [form/layout] that you have built in Query Designer.
You will also find other items such as Button group, Checkbox, drop down, list box etc available. Pick and drag into the template whatever it is you require. Lets say you want a button. Under the Properties tab select the 'Command' that you require. You could use standard commands that are available there. You could also define functions and commands that you require.
Query Designer:
Open the QD and drag the characteristics and key figures that you require into the rows and columns of the QD. You would need to specify restrictions under the Filter tab of the QD based on the granularity of data that you require. You would need to remember that the key figures need to be made Input Ready [do this by clicking on KF and on the planning tab select "change by user and planning functions"].
This shouldgive you a start. After you've explored it yourself a bit we can discuss further and I can certainly provide you additional details/material on these areas.

How to make change in Issue list across all project sites?

Hi,
We all have issue list in our project sites. We need to add some values to some of the columns in that issue list. The requirement is we need these changes to reflect in all the new sites. Also how to make these changes reflect in current existing sites.
Can anybody suggest a way to achieve this. One thing that i am aware of is creating a new project site template and associating it with EPT but that still not solves the issue for preexisting sites.
Please help asap.
Thanks in advance.

Hi SpWrk
If you have already created some sites. You would need to apply these changes either Programetically (Powershell or C#) or Manually.
However, you can take the following approach to avoid this problem in future. (i.e. Your "future" changes will appear in existing sites too). I am writing the procedure breifly but let me know if you need more details on this
1) Create a content type (e.g. "Project issues" at PWA level)
2) Associate this content type with the Issues List in your site template as well any existing project sites. Make it a default content type for Issue lists. save your site template
3) Create all your custom columns in this new Content type (changing OOB issue columns can break your reporting)
4) Your changes to content type should reflect in future sites as well as existing sites (whereever the content type was appiled)

You must install Oracle Objects for OLE.
After this in asp-script you may use following instructions
1)initialization
<%
Set Session("OraSession") =server.CreateObject
("OracleInProcServer.XOraSession")
set Session("OraData") = Session("OraSession").OpenDatabase
("service", "scott/tiger",0)
%>
2)open Dynaset
<%
Set EmpDynaset = Session("OraData").CreateDynaset("select 1 as
f1, 2 as f2 from dual", 0)
%>
3)navigation
<%EmpDynaset.MoveFirst%>
<%EmpDynaset.MoveNext%>
<%EmpDynaset.EOF%>
4) Field access
<%=EmpDynaset.Fields(1).value%>
5) Sql execute
Session("OraData").ExecuteSQL("delete xxx")

VasimAs the previous poster is trying to suggest, the server you use will have datasource and connection pooling support. so look up in the manual how to set it up, or do a google search. For example if you use Tomcat, look here:

How to make one-option dropdown list partial trigger?

There are two dependent dropdown lists. when list one is selected, the other one will get the SelectItems according the value of list one. My question is: when there is only one selectiem in list one (and the hint 'Please select one..."), how to make it partial trigger in the second time? e.g. I first login and select the ONLY one choice in List one, and the List two gets the values. but the data in datasource updated, so I want to choose the List one again, and make the List two get the new values.

Hi,
create a JSF binding (Bindings property on the list component) to a managed bean. The in the code that would trigger the PPR, call
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialtarget(theListBindingName);
If you have a refresh button, then you could use declarative PPR

How can i connect to a SQL Server 2000 database usgin JSP?

I need (URGENT) to connect to SQL Server 2000 databse using JSP. I do not know how to program using JSP, so if anyone has any code snippet please let me see it. What i need is to give my site some login/password security.
Anyone?
Thx.

just create an ODBC of your database from control pannel -> administrative tools -> data sources (ODBC) ,double click it .....
go to the tab SYstem DSN , click on ADD button. select the driver for your connection. it will be the last one in the list "SQL Server".
click Next then give ur DSN name there, description and Server Name , on next give your username and password of SQL server. when it will be connected to the server celect your database from there and hence there will be an ODBC bridge same as in case of MS Access.
code for connecting to ODBC is
// DSN-NAME same as in System DSN.
// username and password are of your databse
try
          url = "jdbc:odbc:DSN-NAME";
          Class.forName( "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver" );
          connect = DriverManager.getConnection( url,"username","password" );
          catch ( ClassNotFoundException cnfex ) {
                    setErrorMsg( cnfex.getMessage() );
          catch ( SQLException sqlex ) {
                    setErrorMsg( sqlex.getMessage() );
          catch ( Exception ex ) {
                    setErrorMsg( ex.getMessage() );
Now you are connected to the SQL Server ..... use connect object for further processing .........

How to make image transparent to background in Web Dynpro...

Hi Experts,
IN our web dynpro application, we need to have some fonts and sizes of texts to be displayed on the layout. Since web dynpro has limited options for the design and color of a Textview, we have decided to use the image instead.
This image has exactly the same background color as that of web dynpro and is matching perfectly.
But the problem is, it shows a border surrounding the image. We need to remove that border and make it completely transparent to the web dynpro background.
I have tried different design options for Image element but it did not worked.
Has anyone done this earlier..
Regards,
Anand

Thanks Nitesh,
I have downloaded the MIME image and it doesn't appear to have the border. This border is added by web dynpro application itself.
Regards,
Anand
