IDT Database Middleware Drivers missing (ODBC & OLEDB)

Hi all,
I did search this forum and various others for this problem however I cannot find a solution.
I have recently installed SAP BusinessObject BI Platform 4.0 Client Tools SP6 on my Windows 7 machine. I have created a project in the Information Design Tool, and when attempting to create a new Relational Connection, the list of Database Middleware Drivers available is very limited.
I wish to make a connection to a SQL server, and I believe this would be achieved via an ODBC or OLE DB driver however none of which are available.
All I have available under Microsoft is:
MS SQL Server 2008 -> JDBC Drivers
MS SQL Server 2012 -> JDBC Drivers
I have already created a system DSN through ODBCAD32.exe. In fact I created three, using different drivers for each
SQL Server
ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server
SQL Server Native Client 10.0
I have also set my Secured Connections preference to use 'Server Middleware' in my IDT. However I am still only seeing the same options when trying to create a connection.
Can someone please provide instruction on how I make a connection to my SQL database from IDT.
Thanks
Gary

Hi Henry,
Thank you for your response.
I have attached screenshots below illustrating my issue. As you can see, the only drivers it shows available is JDBC. This is the case when either 'Local Middleware' or 'Server Middleware' is selected.
Kind regards
Gary

Accessing Oracle spatial objects (SDO_GEOMETRY) through ODBC/OLEDB

Hello.
I tried googling and reading through these forums and Oracle documentation, but I'm still uncertain on this question:
Are Oracle spatial objects (of type SDO_GEOMETRY) accessible through ODBC and/or OLE DB drivers? Can I retrieve them with SELECT clause? Can I write them to database?
I'm limited to these options because I'm developing Delphi application based on ADO and it must work with different DB servers. However I certainly don't want to implement different ways of accessing database for each server.
If geometry objects aren't suported by ODBC/OLEDB, is there any way to convert SDO_GEOMETRY to (and from) BLOB or string or whatever, so I can read and write them like a normal data field?
Thanks in advance.

The SDO_UTIL package has lots of options to help output spatial data to other formats, and you may be able to use some of them to help.
Some that come to mind are:
SDO_UTIL.TO_WKTGEOMETRY
SDO_UTIL.TO_GMLGEOMETRY
SDO_UTIL.TO_KMLGEOMETRY
This is covered in chapter 32 of the Oracle® Spatial Developer's Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2).

Remote Database connection throught JDBC-ODBC

Hi everybody
I've developed an application which connects to a MS Access database throught the JDBC-ODBC bridge; if the database is on my local machine I've no problem at all, but I now need to connect to a database on a remote PC. I've set the DSN entry for the database on the remote computer and try to connect using something like:
String db_name="jdbc:odbc:remote_pc_name\\\\DSN_db_name";
Properties db_prop=new Properties();
db_prop.setProperty("user","username");
db_prop.setProperty("password","user_password");
Connection dbconn=DriverManager.getConnection(db_name,db_prop);
but the ODBC driver gives me the message
"[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] DSN not found and driver not specified.
I've tried other possible "connection strings" but I always get the same message.
The software works properly if I connect to the local DB with:
String db_name="jdbc:odbc:DSN_db_name";
Any idea how to connect to a remote DB through ODBC?
Thanks

No need for a separate thread really is there? its still relevant to the original.

Hi Diptesh,
What is your crystal reports version ? CRXI or higher?
And does your filter bject consists of apostrophie s fields?
If this is the case then this is a known issue try installing the latest service packs or fix packs to see if it resolves the issue?

Unable to connect to my Oracle Database with Microsoft's ODBC for Oracle driver

I am unable to connect to my Oracle Database with Microsoft's ODBC for Oracle driver vers.2.573.4202.00 on a Win98 computer.
First, I create a "Net Service Name" in order for the ODBC Driver to find the Oracle server. I then created a System DSN in the ODBC Data Source Administrator and assigned the "Net Server Name" as the server in the "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle Setup". But when I test this DSN with Oracle's provided "Oracle ODBC 32Bit Test vers.2.5.3.1.0" I get an error:
SQLSTATE: NA000
Native Error Code:0
Driver Message:[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]
This error occurred on all three Win98 computers I have tried. It does however, seem to work fine on WinNT 4.0, and believe it or not, on the two Win95 computers I have tried.
Does anyone have any fixes, recomendations, or advice?
Thank you,
Eric Edwards

Why are yu not using the Oracle ODBC driver - these can be downloaded from OTN.
Have you set up a tnsnames.ora entry for the Oracle database you want to connect to? Does this name have a domain name added to it? Check %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\tnsnames.ora for the service name. If it is a name of the form :
name.domain.subdomain
then you should try using this full name when configuring the ODBC data source.

Ora-02084 : database name is missing a component

hai all,
i am a newbee to oracle. i am struggling to create a database, any help would be highly appreciated. i have installed Oracle 9i on a RH8.0 system. but while creating database through DBCA, i am getting the error message, "ORA -02084:Oracle database name is missing a component". i ahve gone through the documentation and found that probelm is with ORACLE_SID. i have set all the environment variables(including ORACLE_SID, DB_NAME AND DB_DOMAIN) according to the documentaion and created swap files, temporary space etc.i have set all the environment variables in .bash_profile in ORACLE_HOME.
i have stopped DBCA and gone through the files. i could see that the database is actually created, with initXXX.ora.441414312 file. but once when i started the database with nomount and checked, i could find the control files missing.
thanks in advance,
ramesh.

Probably you are missing value for db_name (or missing parameter db_name) in parameter file.
Note you can still create db manualy (without DBCA).

Database name is missing a component....

I'm doing a 3 server install on Windows 2000 Professional.
While installing the infrastructure, while it tries to create the database I get the warning "database name is missing a component". I'm never asked to enter a database name, so I'm not sure where I'm going wrong.
The infrastructure hostname is "in", it's in workgroup "workgroup", and the fully qualified hostname is "in.sdia.com". It's IP address is 192.168.45.10. In the hosts file I added the following line after the default localhost entry:
192.168.45.10 in.sdia.com in
In the infrastructure install my instance name is "instance1".
I can finish the infrastructure install (and it reports it as successful), but I then get the same error doing the information store install, after which it fails on the database creation.
Any ideas?

How do you double quote the db name in a single box installation on Windows ? In a single box inst, you do not get the chance to specify the name that is causing the trouble, namely iasd.domainname.in.something. On windows, I tried manually running the same command that, according to logs, was failing, but could not get this to work. I tried all alternatives I could think of (-gdbname iasdb.aaa.in.xxxx.fi / "iasdb.aaa.in.xxxx.fi" / 'iasdb.aaa.in.xxxx.fi' / ""iasdb.aaa.in.xxxx.fi"" / '"iasdb.aaa.in.xxxx.fi"' / "'iasdb.aaa.in.xxxx.fi'") but none of them works. Some quickly spit out an error about an error in the name, while some fail only later with ORA-02084. What should I do ?

Database entries are missing

I have multisim V9. several of the database entries are missing. Some were there before and are not there now. Could the database be corrupted? How can I restore the database? I tried to re install, several entries returned , but not all. Whole "families" are missing.

Hi,
If you have a database where some families are missing while others are available, this indicates a corrupt database. You should reinstall but make sure you delete the Multisim install folder, the Add and Remove program utility does not remove your old corrupt database.

BO 4.1 SP3 "Database Middleware Selection" - drivers missing

Hello guys,
I've looked up my problem and I saw 2-3 similar scenarios, but couldn't get any good answer from previous discussions, so I'm asking again.
I have a BI Platform, 4.1 SP3.
BO Server is installed on WIN 2008 R2.
Client Tools machine is on WIN 2008 R2 as well.
I've used the BO Server machine to install client tools and create universe and reports, because no other machine was available.
Suddenly, after 2 weeks without even logging in - My universe and reports aren't opening - but the most wierd thing is while trying to re-create the connection, I don't see any drivers while creating "Relational connection".
Inside the list I see sap BW and SAS drivers. the rest of them are gone.
Tried "repair" on the Client tools setup, and tried re-run the server installation just to make sure the drivers are ticked while installing - It's all there.
Still doesn't appear on the list inside IDT.
Anyone has a suggestion ?
Thanks,
Or.

Hi Kiran,
Just for login validation, you could simply use the tool
BI Platform Landscape tool:http://goo.gl/8yELes
This is a very minimalisitc tool, which needs the CMS to login
You could get this placed in the BO2 server and provide the System/login details of BO1
This could be used as a check point for the connectivity test once passed, you could start the installer and proceed with the Cluster setup

Windows 2008 r2 64 bit with 64 bit CF 8 - ODBC drivers missing excel

We installed a 64 bit CF8 enterprise server on our 2008 r2 64 bit system and we can't seem to figure out the ODBC problems. Most of the solutions we find online seem to apply to 32 bit versions of CF (on 64 bit 2008) - not x64 on x64 2008.
We've already used the ODBC utility (here to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe) to create our ODBC ... since that utility displayed the drivers we needed. Once those were setup, we tried importing this registry branch
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC
into this one
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC
to try to get things to be recognized. No dice.
Is there a 64 bit version of the Excel driver? If not - Or is there a way to get the 32 bit version of the Excel driver to work? If there's a way for us to use the 32 bit version of these drivers, we would really want to know what it is :-) We have some text drivers we'd also like to use (*.txt, *.csv)
We can provide screenshots as necessary.
Thanks much.

IDT HD Audio device missing. Drivers don't install.

Product Name:
HP Pavilion HPE h8-1214 Desktop PC
Product Number: QW701AA
OS: Windows 8 Pro x64
No audio Device installed. (unless i connect any usb audio devices or my hdmi from graphics card). When any of those are connected it does recognize them.
System Changes -
Power Supply - 600W Thermaltake
Graphics Card - EVGA GeForce GTX 660
PCI - USB 3.0 - PCI Card
Storage - Added intel 520 series SSD 180GB. Recovered entire system onto it and formatted 1.5TB HDD for storage.
Chassis - Coolermaster HAF-XB
I have tried installing SP59424 from HP support but it will not install.
After extracting files and asking if i want to install the driver it reads "IDT High Definition Driver" - "Your system does not meet the minimum requirements for this update. Update has been cancelled. (9996)
I have tried downloading the codec/driver at plenty of other sites with no luck, i even tried rolling back to windows 7 and installing the win7 original driver, same problem. All this time of course running as an administrator. I have also COMPLETELY formatted all my drives, restored using my HP restore discs from last year and still no audio. I did also try uninstalling all audio devices, (webcam/usb headset/graphics card) i put my old DVI-only graphics card in and still no luck.
I read in the motherboard spec that if a sound card is installed the onboard is disabled. So i rid of all possible audio except the onboard. Last but not least I also updated the BIOS to the most recent, (listed under windows 7 x64 support) the BIOS has NO option for integrated audio. It is supposed to be under advanced but it is not anywhere in the BIOS.
Please help, i have spent the last 4 days trying to get this working.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello soriano7709. I understand you're unable to get your sound card to install.
Has the sound card ever worked? How long have you had this PC?
Did this computer originally have Windows 8 installed?
Have you tried running HP Support Assistant to see if it is able to install your driver? If you do not have HP Support Assistant installed you'll need to install the HP Software Framework as well as HP Support Assistant.
I'd also like you to verify that the device is being detected by your computer by providing me the Hardware IDs for the device. Try the following.
From either the Metro or Desktop views press the Windows+X key combination. This opens the "Context Menu."
Select "Device Manager."
Expand every section. Look for any devices that are named "Unknown" or "Other." You should also look for any devices which have a yellow exclamation point beside them. If your sound card is listed in the "Sound, video, and game controllers" section then select it specifically.
Right click on the device and select "Properties."
Navigate to the "Details" tab.
Select "Hardware Ids" from the drop-down menu.
Post these here.
I'll keep an eye out for your response. I hope you have a great day!
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"

Database views are missing

Post Author: dee7231
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
We have an ODBC connection to an Oracle database. There are 7 views that are created. However when we try to pick the view from the table selection in crystal, we see the tables but not the views. We have two ODBC connections, one to a test database and one to production. the test is fine when we expand the connection we get 2 options tables, and views. In the production connection, when we expand the ODBC we just get the list of tables. We had the same problem with test, and we fixed, but now we can't remember how we fixed it. We've compared the two connections and we can't find the difference. I know it's something simple that we're missing, please help.Thanks. Dee7231

Post Author: dee7231
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Sorry should have mentioned it. Yes we granted all access to the views, and we've gone in to SQL Plus and tested the user. And we can see the views that way. Testing it yesterday, we found that if we used the Oracle Server connection and connected directly to the prod database that way, we could see the views. If we try to go in through the ODBC connection we can't. We've taken the ODBC connection for the test DB (that's working correctly), and pointed it to the prod DB and we still can't see the views. We deleted and recreated both ODBC connections and the test DB works and the prod DB doesn't.
