HS and OLE DB

Has anyone successfully created a database link using Oracle hsolesql.exe and an OLE DB provider. I have been experimenting, unsuccessfully, using Oracle 8.1.6 and the Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 provider. I would appreciate any advice, suggestions tips or traps anyone would share.
Thank you.

I'm installed ODAC101040.exe found here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/windows/ole_db/htdocs/utilsoft.htm
Which includes both.

Recs for Beans to replace sound and OLE functionality removed in 9i ?

Does anyone have any recommendations (and even sample code) for replacing the sound and OLE functionality removed in Forms 9i.
The application is for a simple media storage function (store and play images, sound, video, compound documents, etc.) in the database. It works great in 6i fat-client...

Hi,
Go to transaction PHAP_CATALOG
You will see all the Category groups / Category / Templates tree in the left pane
Now double click on your Category Group ( Second level in the tree )
> Go to tab "enhancements"
> Find your implementation in the list "Available" on right pane
( if it's not in this list , you should check oohap_basic and oohap_Category steps again )
> Move it to left side pane
> Save
and I recommend u to leave and run transaction PHAP_CATALOG again.
Now your enhancement is included in your template.

What is the difference between Execute SQL Task and OLE DB Command

Besides the obvious, Execute SQL Task being used in Control Flow, and
OLE DB Command being used in Data Flow what is the difference between the two? Is one supposed to use
Execute SQL Task to produce a result set that then gets handed over to
Data Flow and OLE DB Command ? Everything that I have seen on
OLE DB Command is pretty much execution of a Stored Procedure with ? parameters. It seems as though I got to a point where I had to perform my data edits pretty much entirely in a Stored Procedure executed by
OLE DB Command rather than trying to use the SSIS GUI for everything. I didn't really see in any of my Google searches out there that simply used
OLE DB Command as a straight parameterized SQL against tables for editing and cleansing purposes and handling returns back from SQL Server for COUNT(*), etc..
I know I have posted multiple forums out there regarding this issue but I cannot seem to get a straight answer and some solid direction. So for now, my
Execute SQL Task gives me my editable result set and then control is handed off to
Data Flow and ultimately to my Stored Procedure executed by an
OLE DB Command which pretty much does the chunking for me and performs my data edits and handles my record anomalies through SQL Server Table data stores accordingly or sets flags accordingly if the data passes.
I welcome your thoughts and Thanks for your review and Thanks in advance for any replies and direction that anyone might provide.

Hi ITBobbyP,
OLE DB Command will always process data row by row, whereas Execute SQL task if you call a Stored Procedure it can process data in bulk. As you said, the biggest difference is that Execute SQL Task being used in Control Flow, and OLE DB Command being
used in Data Flow. They are used in different places.
Using Execute SQL Task, we can save the rowset returned from a query into a variable. The Execute SQL task can be used in combination with the Foreach Loop and For Loop containers to run multiple SQL statements. These containers implement repeating control
flows in a package and they can run the Execute SQL task repeatedly. For example, using the Foreach Loop container, a package can enumerate files in a folder and run an Execute SQL task repeatedly to execute the SQL statement stored in each file. I think this
is a big advantage for Execute SQL Task.
As to OLE DB Command, we can easily run an SQL statement for each row transformation in a data flow, then directly insert the outputs to a destination.
To sum up, there are many difference between those two components. We should make better choice based on our actual requirement.
Thanks,

Reports 6i and OLE data

Hello Friends,
I want to display OLE content from database using
Reports,after report development I am facing following
problem.does anybody know how to solve it.
1. Some times OLE content appears in small font,it is very
difficult to read.
2. After navigating to pages, some fonts become larger or very
small.
3. After navigating to pages, message 'Report can not be
formatted,Object 'vertically' can never fit within...
this error continues even objects and corresponding frames
elasticity changed to variable or Expand.
can anyone have faced such problems ? Please send me solutions,
It's very urgent.
Thanx

Hello,
After lot of R&D, I found solution to my problem,but though
It is working now, I am not sure about it's full success,so I
welcome any comment on it.
I just changed number of vertical panels per page property of
main section and it is working correctly,but drawback is suppose
your report is of 2 panel,and you have specified panel to 10
then it creates empty panels and prints it as a blank. How to
avoid this ?

Problem with Forms 6, Word and OLE Containers

Forms 6.0.8.24.1, RDBMS 8.1.7.0.0 on Win 2000 Pro SP3
I have a form which has an OLE Container based on a LONG RAW database column. I use the form to save Microsoft Word documents in the database.
Some documents are not retrieving correctly in the Form. When activating the OLE container nothing happens. The OLE Container displays the MS Word icon and there is data in the database as I can retrieve it using java.
Anybody have any ideas on this. Unfortunately it's not an isolated case.

Generally it should work. What i don't understand:
You call a function which returns a table-type, but read the value in one number-item? Why does the function return a table-type then?
Also, instead of using a SELECT, you could simply call the function in your code, like:
DECLARE
ln_unalloc_qty NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN
theTableFunctionType:=gmi_utils.get_unalloc_qty(:header.item_id,
    :header.plant,
    :header.move_from_warehouse,
    :header.move_from_location,
    :header.lot_id,
    :header.lot_no);
ln_unalloc_qty:=theTableFunctionType(1).theColumn;
/* DO SOME PROCESSING WITH QTY THAT WAS RETURNED*/
END;

Crystal Reports 10 and OLE Bitmap Objects

Greetings, all!
I need some help in getting a Bitmap Image file (BMP) to dynamically display on a Crystal form. We have it currently running as an OLE object inserted into the form. The actual image displayed can vary, so immediately prior to running the form, the desired image file is copied to a specific location with a specific name. This works great... until we implemented the solution on our client's system. That is our problem.
Rather than than refreshing the BMP image at run time, the form displays the last image it was able to successfully load. When I open the form in Crystal Reports, it displays the "Updating ActiveX options" message along with the progress bar, but then puts up the message, "Some links could not be updated because their sources are presently unavailable." When I try to verify the file path and file name of the OLE object within Crystal, it says that the object is invalid.
Here are some environment details.
1. The version is "Crystal Reports 10 for Sage" (version 10.0.5.820). This is because the Crystal software is bundled with the accounting application software, Sage MAS 500 version 7.05.18.0.
2. My operating system is Microsoft Windows 2000, 5.00.2195, Service Pack 4. The configuration runs great here.
3. The client's operating system is Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition, Service Pack 2. This is where it does not work.
Here is what I have tried so far:
1. I referenced the following forum thread...
OLE Linked Object
... and tried updating the registry as it describes. This did not work.
2. I referenced the following forum thread...
Re: OLE object problem
...but I did not have a clear understanding of what it was explaining. I was uncertain about the reference of setting mspaint.exe as an OLE Automation server, etc.
That's it. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. The client's software and operating system are pretty much fixed, so I'm afraid I won't be able to oblige any suggestings to upgrade these. If you need any additional information, I will be more than happy to provide it.
Thanks in advance!

This issue has been resolved. We found that when the customer ran the statement on a client workstation rather than on the server, the OLE bitmap objects refreshed as expected. I am therefore closing this issue.

Heterogeneous Services and OLE DB

Has anyone successfully created a database link using Oracle hsolesql.exe and an OLE DB provider. I have been experimenting, unsuccessfully, using Oracle 8.1.6 and the Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 provider. I would appreciate any advice, suggestions tips or traps anyone would share.
Thank you.

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.

FORMS 4.5 and OLE interface to MS word

I am using ole to communicate to MS word, to perform Mail merge functionality in the document. Once the merge has taken place i want to close MS word down without prompting the user to save changes. Does anyone know how to do this through ole. If have close down word by passing the argument FileExit across to word, but this always asks the user if they want to save changes.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Forms 6i and OLE

I've upgraded from Forms 5 to Forms 6i and have subsequently found my Word2000 documents become corrupt when edited using OLE in the new version of Forms. Has anyone found this ?
I've been advised by Oracle to recreate them as new documents in Forms 6i. This is no easy task as I have over 135,000 documents stored in the data base. A possible solution suggested was to open the documents in Forms 5, saving them on my hard drive, then opening the documents from the hard drive using Forms 6i, copying the contents and pasting them in to a new document using OLE in Forms 6i. This doesn't work as the paste facility fails in new documents and Word2000 has an in build message which appears when copying large amounts of text. I'm really struggling to find a solution to this, I also find it hard to believe that I'm first person to have attempted a upgrade from Forms 5 to 6i with word documents stored using OLE.
Can anyone help ??

it not only for word, but for JPG files too, I mean it is not possible for other tools to open the JPG file from db after thru forms 5.x, 6.x to save to db.

Using blobsin database and ole in forms ,reports

Dear forum ,
I have one thread to you, its stopping me from moving forward.
I am using forms 6i ,reports 6i ,db above 9i.
I had created database table haveing one blob column ,used the column in form as ole object and inserted a record contains (opened ms office excel sheet ,i need some part of rows columns matrix copied -it contains data taken) copied in forms runtime and saved.
And the same table used in oracle reports the column as ole column, generated the output to pdf ,or word .
the inserted records -bolob images are not retriveing or not shown in generated file can be pdf or word or html ?
what is the reason.
can you help me the proceeding.
Thanks & Regards ,
Deviprasad.m

I don't think its possible to include a word-doc or a pdf stored in a blob in a report. A blob in reports can be used to show an image, like a jpg or gif.

Forms6i with WinXP and OLE

Message
Hi experts,
Hi Experts,
We are encountering the following scenario, and wonder if anyone else has experienced this, and if so, whether there is a work around we can try.
Some of our office pcs have recently been upgraded to Windows XP os and have OfficeXP professional.
In previous tests we have run Forms6i with calls to OLE to launch MsWord, and produced letters with no problems, even when running in Win2k and calling
Office XP Word. We would be presented with the merged document whenever we chose to "Edit" or "Preview".
However, now that some of our development machines are running in WinXP we get thrown straight into the data file, rather than the merged word document
(the documents in question all perform a mail-merge).
Any ideas?
TIA,
Alexandra.

Hi,
Last year I build a tester with a PXI rack. I started with a MXI interface. The PXI modules are a part of your PC and it helped me to wire the hardware VI's. Later on when the hardware part was ready I switched over to a embedded controller (Not RT)
With VISA I can still acces some devices but not all (All PXI devices are non NI except the controller)

MS DTS and OLE DB

I have constructed an Oracle VIEW which has a WHERE clause that limits data from its underlying table, by using a date literal, i.e. (WHERE datevar > '01-JAN-2009'). Is it possible that when the VIEW is accessed with the DTS tool of MS SQL Server and Oracle OLE DB version 10g, by an Oracle user with SELECT permission on the VIEW, that rows may be returned which violate the VIEW's WHERE condition? In other words, can the query return rows with a datevar that is less than '01-JAN-2009' from the underlying table?

The usual cause for wierd issues with oraoledb involving dates, that dont seemingly reproduce via sqlplus, is the date format.
Were you able to test the same in sqlplus? What were the results?
I cant even run that in sqlplus. For example, using the emp table.....
SQL> select ename, hiredate from emp where deptno=10;
ENAME HIREDATE
CLARK 09-JUN-81
KING 17-NOV-81
MILLER 23-JAN-82
SQL> create or replace view empview as
2 select * from emp where hiredate >'01-JAN-1982' and deptno=10;
View created.
SQL> select ename from empview;
ENAME
MILLER
SQL> alter session set NLS_DATE_FORMAT='YYYY-MM-DD';
Session altered.
SQL> select ename from empview;
select ename from empview
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
The fact that the query doesnt even run (for me at least) leads me to belive that that's not the query that is actually being executed.
If changing the date format still doesnt make the same behavior occur in sqlplus, then there's more to the story. I'd enable tracing to confirm the statement being executed is actually what you think it is.
Short of that, I dont really have any good suggestions. You're correct that using OLEDB doesnt grant permissions, alter view definitions, etc. The oledb connection is still just an oracle client connection, like anyting else. The obvious usual gotcha though is just that by default it changes the date format.

Unknown Database connector Error - Crystal Reports 2008 and OLE DB

Hi,
I want to create a report based on OLE DB provider.
Once I Select it from the Database Expert list I get this Error: "Unknown Database Connector Error", and the list is empty.
I am using Crystal Reports 2008 on Win XP SP2.
SQL Server 2005 is installed on the local machine.
If I create a UDL File and double click, I can see all OLE DB Providers on the machine.
What am I missing ?
Thanks,
Yuval.

Hi Friends,
Thank you all for trying to help.
- The installed MDAC version is 2.8 (It comes with XP SP2). I have tried installing it again and it says that it is already installed.
- I am not using a bussiness view. Just the simplest blank report in CR2008. I am not able to start it using OLE DB, once I want to choose a provider - I get the error, before even entering connection details such as username and password.
- I am able to build an ODBC report, but when trying to view it using Crystal Reports Windows Form Viewer (from within a .Net application) I get an error: "Failed to Open The Connection". It happens also with reports built on other machines using OLE DB.
Same report works fine with the same application on different machines and I cannot figure out what is the difference.
I think Something on my machine is not right.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks,
Yuval.

Labview and ole-server

Hi,
I need information about the activation of an "OLE server" via Labview.
This server is activated without any problems by using the "CreateObject ("servername")" command within the Excel and Visual Basic environment and all methods are available. I tried an automation-refnum to find the server in the Labview Library - without any success.
How might I realise this Labview Problem?
Thanks

Hi BSS
Your ActiveX device must be registerd in windows.
Than you can create for example an ActiveX Container.
Open the context menu by right-clicking and select "Insert ActiveX Object ..."
Is your ActiveX device not listed there. Choose "Create Object from File"
instead of "Create Control" and directly select it
I give you some attachements to visual the actions.
