How to use ODBC connection specified on Linux containing Oracle BI EE 11g on BI Administration?

I have Oracle BI server (OBIEE 11g) installed on a Linux machine. I want to use a MySQL database running on same machine for reporting. I need to create Subject Area from the MySQL database.
However, I am having problem creating connection pool from the MySQL database. BI Administration runs only on Windows and I can't see ODBC connections on Linux even when I opened BI from Linux in online mode in BI Administration. I have created ODBC on Windows, but it's giving me a "Failed to perform requested action" when trying to import metadata.
For the record, everything works fine when everything is installed on Windows.

How to use Xmanager connect to my linux 5.3

Do everybody how how to config Xmanager to connect to linux 5.0 ?
I searched but can not do successfull
So thanks
Ch

From what I understand, Xmanager uses xdmcp protocol, which is obsolete and not considered secure and to be avoided by today's standards. If you still want to got that path, here seems to be a good tutorial I found with Google: http://it.megocollector.com/?p=740
If your task is to make a remote windows session to your Linux server, it will be better to look into VNC or X-forwarding using SSH. You can find some useful info here at Re: Remote Desktop and need to set env variables

How to use JDBC Connection Pools in a standalone application?

Hi, there,
I have a question about how to use JDBC Connection Pools in an application. I know well about connection pool itself, but I am not quite sure how to keep the pool management object alive all the time to avoid being destroyed by garbage collection.
for example, at the website: http://www.developer.com/java/other/article.php/626291, there is a simple connection pool implementation. there are three classes:JDBCConnection, the application's gateway to the database; JDBCConnectionImpl, the real class/object to provide connection; and JDBCPool, the management class to manage connection pool composed by JDBCConnectionImpl. JDBCPool is designed by Singleton pattern to make sure only one instance. supposing there is only one client to use connection for many times, I guess it's ok because this client first needs instantiate JDBCPool and JDBCConnectionImpl and then will hold the reference to JDBCPool all the time. but how about many clients want to use this JDBCPool? supposing client1 finishes using JDBCPool and quits, then JDBCPool will be destroyed by garbage collection since there is no reference to it, also all the connections of JDBCConnectionImpl in this pool will be destroyed too. that means the next client needs recreate pool and connections! so my question is that if there is a way to keep pool management instance alive all the time to provide connection to any client at any time. I guess maybe I can set the pool management class as daemon thread to solve this problem, but I am not quite sure. besides, there is some other problems about daemon thread, for example, how to make sure there is only one daemon instance? how to quit it gracefully? because once the whole application quits, the daemon thread also quits by force. in that case, all the connections in the pool won't get chance to close.
I know there is another solution by JNDI if we develop servlet application. Tomcat provides an easy way to setup JNDI database pooling source that is available to JSP and Servlet. but how about a standalone application? I mean there is no JNDI service provider. it seems a good solution to combine Commons DBCP with JNID or Apache's Naming (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dbcp/index.html). but still, I don't know how to keep pool management instance alive all the time. once we create a JNDI enviroment or naming, if it will save in the memory automatically all the time? or we must implement it as a daemon thread?
any hint will be great apprieciated!
Sam

To my knoledge the pool management instance stays alive as long as the pool is alive. What you have to figure out is how to keep a reference to it if you need to later access it.

How to use ODBC SQLDriverConnect() without using tnsnames.ora file

I have an ODBC application that connects to an Oracle 10g database. Currently, my SQLDriverConnect() function call uses the following connection string:
DRIVER={Oracle in OraClient10g_home1}; DBQ=MyDB.world; DBA=W; UID=foo; PWD=bar
This requires an entry in the tnsnames.ora file that looks like this:
MyDB.world =
(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS =
(PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = server1.intel.com)(Port = 1521)
(ADDRESS =
(PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = server2.intel.com)(Port = 1521)
(ADDRESS =
(PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = server3.intel.com)(Port = 1521)
(ADDRESS =
(PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = server4.intel.com)(Port = 1521)
(LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = MY_SRVC))
However, I would really like to be able to connect using ODBC without having to create that entry in the tnsnames.ora file. I have tried to substitute the DBQ=MyDB.world with the entire (DESCRIPTION=..... string from the original tnsnames.ora file, but it returns the error:
ORA-12154: TNS: Could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
I have heard others are able to use sqlplus with no tnsnames.ora file and the do specify the entire (DESCRIPTION=.... string on the sqlplus connection string, but is this possible to do using the ODBC SQLDriverConnect() function? If so, do I need to use a different keyword/value pair other than DBQ=?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

How would that work in a load balanced configuration? Take a closer look at the tnsnames.ora example I included in my original post. I have 4 ADDRESS= sections to denote 4 servers that are part of the load balanced environment.
Also, I'm not familiar with that syntax, I need to use the syntax supported by the SQLDriverConnect() API function, which looks like this:
DRIVER={Oracle in OraClient10g_home1}; DBQ=MyDB.world; DBA=W; UID=foo; PWD=bar
I don't know as SQLDriverConnect() would accept an alternative syntax. But the more important issue here is the ability to specify those 4 servers in the load balanced configuration as indicated by that tnsnames.ora entry.

Using Generic Connectivity Agent on Linux

Hello All,
My dbms is Oracle 8i Release 3 (8.1.7), my OS is Linux RedHat 7.0. I want to establish a connection from Oracle to an ODBC data source. So, I know I have to use Generic Connectivity Agent, but I can't find execution file for this agent which the Listener will execute. The only file I have is hsodbc.o in $ORACLE_HOME/hs/lib path. Are there anybody who knows how can I link this object file, or where can I get a linked one?
Best regards, Roman Zhirov ([email protected])

Note that the Oracle ODBC driver is not involved at all when you're trying to use Oracle's generic connectivity. Thus, this probably isn't the forum you want to ask this question in.
Since there isn't a generic connectivity forum, you might try posting to the Linux group. Alternately, it may be necessary to contact Oracle Support.

How to create ODBC connection between Oracle 10g and MS SQL Server

Hi,
Can someone help us with the steps to create an ODBC connection between Oracle APPS using Oracle 10g database and MS SQL Server.
Requirement is to extract the transactional data from MS SQL Server on a daily basis and dump it into Oracle tables for an interface to be run. Currently it is being done through Dataloader tool which we feel is causing the data issue with Arabic characters. We want to create the ODBC directly between Oracle and MS SQL Server and check if the data is being pulled correctly.
The data is in sql server 2000 which has data in Arabic_CI_AS character set which is moved to Oracle 10.2.0.3 database with characterset AL32UTF8. The table data is moved to oracle using the dataloader 3.6 standard edition licensed version. We cannot change the character set of Sql Server 2000.
Please help
Thanks
Shanil

Hi,
If you're trying to PULL data from SQLServer into an Oracle database, you wouldnt use Oracle ODBC driver for that, so you may want to post in the Heterogeneous Services forum instead:
Heterogeneous Connectivity
If you're trying to PUSH data from SQLServer into an Oracle database, you could use ODBC but most folks use OLEDB for that, and the following note on MOS should help:
How to Create a Sql Server Linked Server With The Oracle Provider for OLE DB (Doc ID 191368.1)
As with any NLS related issue, the first thing to do is dump the codepoints of the data in the Oracle database to see if it is stored validly, rather than relying on what the data "looks like" from some tool or other. It's best to check a single row, with only a few characters in it if you can, and you can do that via
SELECT DUMP(<columname>,1016) FROM <tablename> WHERE ...
Hope it helps,
Greg

Not seeing all DB tables in Crystal using ODBC connection

I have an ODBC connection to an oracle database. I can connect to the database and see all the tables through tools such as TOAD, SQL developer, SQLPlus, etc. However, in Crystal, i only see schema tables and not the tables I want. I am using the same connection, username, and password. If I run a report that was created in a different environment to the correct tables, I receive the error: ORA00942: table or view does not exist.
Oracle 10g
Crystal 12.0.0.683
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Diana Woronuk

Hi Diana,
Go to File | Options and open the Database tab.
Make sure Tables and Views are checked. You may want to include Stored Procedures too.
Save the changes and restart Crystal.
You should see your tables now. If you have more than 200 objects in your database, you may need to use the Table Name Like option to filter out some of the tables.
Good luck,
Brian

How to use single connection

Hello Gurus,
I am new in adf and using jdev 11.1.2.3.
I am developing application in which i am using dynamic shell UI. The structure of application is i have one main application modules with the UI shell. The other modules are developed in separate application and has its own data control and task flows and then i deployed them as adf library. Then i am consuming the task flow in the main application.
As i mention each module has its own data control, so when i open a module it makes new connection with database. It means if i have opened ten modules then it is opening ten connections with database.
Is is possible i can configure somewhere to use single connection for all modules and not to open the connection for each module.
And one more thing if i undeploy the application the connection is still with database as v$session view shows it. How i can close connection if i close the tab in ui shell.
Thanks,

How to use pool connection run oracle procedure?

Hi, All:
          I am facing a difficulty I can not find the solution. Maybe you can help
          me.
          I want to call an oracle stored procedure whenever I talk to datebase to
          make the application more efficient. I was able to run the procedure using
          oracle thin driver but not the connection pool using Weblogic jDriver for
          JDBC2.0.
          Please check the following code and see what I did wrong:
          The code in JSP file in Weblogic:
          <%-- JSP page directive --%>
          <%@ page
          import="java.io.*,java.util.*,java.sql.*,weblogic.common.*,weblogic.jdbc20.c
          ommon.*" %>
          <%-- JSP Declaration --%>
          <%!
          protected Connection con = null;
          ResultSet rset = null;
          %>
          <%-- JSP Scriptlet --%>
          <% try {
          Properties props = new Properties();
          props.setProperty("user", "james");
          props.setProperty("password", "aimjames");
          Driver myDriver =
          (Driver) Class.forName
          ("weblogic.jdbc.pool.Driver").newInstance();
          con = myDriver.connect("jdbc:weblogic:pool:hdj2Pool", props);
          String userid = (String)session.getAttribute("user.id");
          int subid =
          Integer.parseInt((String)session.getAttribute("sub.id"));
          String query = "begin pkg_select.sel_req_in_001(" + userid +
          ", " + subid + ", ?); end;";
          weblogic.jdbc.common.OracleCallableStatement cstmt =
          (weblogic.jdbc.common.OracleCallableStatement)con.prepareCall(query);
          cstmt.registerOutParameter(1,java.sql.Types.OTHER);
          cstmt.execute();
          rset = cstmt.getResultSet(1);
          When I run this JSP file, the compilation is fine but the result shows
          nothing. That's means I can not get the ResultSet for some reason.
          The working file when I use oracle thin driver (NOT use a connection pool):
          String userid = (String)session.getAttribute("user.id");
          int subid = Integer.parseInt((String)session.getAttribute("sub.id"));
          String query = "begin pkg_select.sel_req_in_001(" + userid +", " +subid
          +", ?); end ";
          CallableStatement cstmt = con.prepareCall(query);
          cstmt.registerOutParameter(1,OracleTypes.CURSOR);
          cstmt.execute();
          ResultSet rset = (ResultSet)cstmt.getObject(1);
          You may notice that I am trying to bind a parameter to an Oracle cursor. Is
          there anything I did wrong in using weblogic API? I just want to let you
          that in the weblogic JSP file, I also tried to use
          weblogic.jdbc.oci.CallableStatement and
          weblogic.jdbc20.oci.CallableStatement instead of
          weblogic.jdbc.common.OracleCallableStatement, but none of them seems work.
          I did check the bea site at
          http://www.weblogic.com/docs51/classdocs/API_joci.html#1080420 for the
          example to use:
          cstmt.registerOutParameter(1,java.sql.Types.OTHER);
          and I think I followed the exact procedure the example did.
          Please help!

Thanks for the suggestion about latest version of Weblogic Server.
"coding best-practices" is not mentioned in the post.
In order to make servlet application run significantly faster, my servet how to use connection poo is much moreresonable?
It is reasonable to expect servlet to run significantly faster with connection pooling.
Is it true that geting and close a connection whenever
one time database access finished?
Already answered. Applications use a connection from the pool then return it when finished using the connection.
Will the solution affect the servlet performance?
Yes. Already answered. Connection pooling enhances performance by eliminating the costly task of creating database connections for the application.
Is there any official document to introduce connection pool program?

But It's not work.
It's show message 'Frm-40735 and ora-306500.'
Please help me .
Thank you.

Hi,
Forms 9i doesn't support ODBC. You would need a transparent Gateway to connect to non Oracle databases

How to use ODBC Administrator

Hi,
I want to use access database(.accdb) file on netbeans. So, i have to use ODBC Administrator. But when i click the system DSN tab, i couldn't see any driver format on the open menu. What can i do for add access driver to driver menu?

I have done this, but the Driver (Oracle Rdb Driver, Version 3.00.02.04) do not understand the "DB"-Parameter correctly. The databasename is transferred to the server without the attach-command. So I can only make the connect to a preattached service. This is a known problem by Oracle.
