Informatica and MySQL

While Informatica 7.1.4 as bundled with OBI can be configured to extract data from Oracle 10g tables, can it be configured to do the same from MySQL tables? If so, is the only method to set up an ODBC relational connection in Workflow Manager?
Raj

Go to the Informatica installtion folder --> Client --> Manuals --> WorkflowAdministrationGuide.pdf and check the chapter "Setting Up a Relational Database Connection".
Example:
Microsoft SQL Server - servername@dbname
Update: or simpler: just look at the MSSQL connection that comes OOB when you install OBI Apps.

What is the difference between Oracle and MySQL

Hi,
I would like to know the major difference between Oracle and MySQL. I have a project to generate XML files from database tables, i have used oracle's built XML functions XMLELEMENT, XMLATTRIBUTES, XMLFOREST, XMLAGG. I really want to know if these functions (or) similar functions are supported/availabe in MySQL.

What's so hard about finding a "best linux distro for installing Oracle11g"? The supported distros are listed in the fine Installation Guide for Linux. At the top of the list is Oracle's own Oracle Linux, which is in the same family as Red Hat.

PHP and MySQL Connection problem

I am trying to make a PHP MySQL on a remote server connection in Dreamwesaver CS3.
When I enter the information (host, user, password, etc.) and hit TEST, I get the following error message.
"Access Denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem. Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured."
I know the user, password, etc. work, as I can access the MySQL database with other software.
I checked with my host and they say there are no permission problems on their end.
I have checked the settings on the Test Server page in Site Setup and everything looks correct and works there.
I have not seen this particular problem described in other forum postings (although there are a LOT of postings on this topic!).
Any help would be appreciated.

I thought my testing server was the remote server and is always on as far as I know. I don't know how to turn it on or off.
Is there some other testing server that I should be aware of?

I know you are using remote, but is your testing server on? if not turn that on and see if that does it. it just happened to me working on remote server and could not get mysql conn to work, until I turn on my testing (developer server), then I was able to connect to mysql and the tables that I created in phpmyadmin remotly was downloaded.

How do I add an already built Shopping Cart (PHP and MYSQL) application to a page in a Muse site?

How do I add an already built Shopping Cart (PHP and MYSQL) (Cartweaver 4) application to a page in a Muse site? Do I have to export the Muse site as Html to dreamweaver and them use the extension to bring the shooping cart in or can I do it directly in Muse?
Message was edited by: mgv2048

We have experimented with doing this with some good success. We have been working on adding Cartweaver to a Facebook page by essentially adding a Cartweaver store to Facebook in an iframe. The "store" would be pages with just your basic product display, cart, and checkout functionality, with none of the "window dressing" - just use CSS to match the color and general look of the design it's being added to.
The one problem with this for Facebook is when it comes time to check out toy have to leave Facebook and go to your server where an SSL is in place. Fortunately in this situation this would not be the case, you can have an SSL installed to the root of your site and you'll be okay.
This is an interesting project. Give this a try and let me know how it goes and if you run into any snags, please make a post on the Cartweaver forums: http://forums.cartweaver.com - I'm really confident that this can work, and not only work, but work well.
Looking forward to hearing how this goes, and being of what help we can.

Slow DataBase Access using JDK 1.5 and MySQL

Hi EveryBody,
I am using Jdk1.5 in my project and mysql 5.0 as my database server.
The problem is that, to create a connection for the first time it takes upto 20 to 25 seconds.
when i use the 1.4.2 with the same mysql version it takes only 2 seconds.
In both the cases i am using the JDBC driver (com.mysql.jdbc.Driver )
I cannot understand the problem with the jdk1.5,
so, please help me in resoving this issue.

I encountered same problem with connecting Oralce.
It's a bug of JDK1.5.
You need upgrade JDK1.5 to latest version,or use IP address instead of machine name(such as locahost etc.).

How To Install Informatica and DAC Client on windows

Dear Friends,
I had installed Oracle Informatica 8.6.1 and Oracle DAC Server (10.1.3.4.1) on Linux server (RHEl 32 bit)
Now i want to install Informatica and DAC Clients on windows machine.
Where to download the software and in the existing Dump i don't find any install.bat file / client folder as mentioned in some sites.
Please help
Regards,
DB

Hi,
When you have downloaded the informatica software you will get 2 zip files (V20952-01_1of2.zip,V20952-01_2of2.zip). When you Unzip these two files you will find pc861_client_win32_x86.zip file.
Unzip this pc861_client_win32_x86.zip file and browse to this location pc861_client_win32_x86\Client\Disk1\InstData\VM, here you will find install.exe an executable file.This will install informatica client.
For installing DAC browse to this location DAC 10.1.3.4.1\dac\Disk1\install\win32 and there you will find setup.exe executable file. This will install DAC.
If you need further information plz do post it......
Thanks,

Cloned Dac, Informatica and OBIEE want to change the ip and hostname

Hi Gurus,
I recently cloned my OBIEE env on virtual machines on OEL ( Linux)
I want to change the hostname and ip address to make the services up with new IP and hostname.
I started the Database(11gR2) single instnace successfully. Please let me know what all changes need to be done to start the dac(10.1.3.4), informatica(9.0.1 Hotfix 2) server and also OBIEE(11.1.1.7.1)
I did run ./startServerprompt.sh for DAC but still the service cannot be started.
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Hi kt1,
Informatica and DAC is also on Linux servers. As a first step I'm trying to start the services on DAC and Informatica servers but still no luck.
When I'm Trying to start it gives me the following error in the log
For Informatica:
Domain service init method is called
java.net.UnlnownHostException: santa.pti.local (which is the wrong hostname)
it should be picking up the new hostname panta.pti.local
but I don't know where exactly is this information stored and how to get over it.
The same case is with DAC server when I try to start it it's picking up the wrong hostname
Anybody who can help me get through this. I have go ogled it but so far I couldn't solve it.
Appreciate if anyone could help me solve this.
Regards,

Deploy Applet and MySQL - how to read and write

Question on deploying Applet and MySQL
I am building an applet that is to be a part of a simple game. The applet is supposed to read data from a MySQL server and use it to place towns on the map. In addition, the applet must be able to write to the base.
I have build a prototype and ran it in netbeans on my computer. It then successfully read data from a local MySQL base. HOWEVER; when I embed the applet in html code it no longer reads from the base. My method for connecting to the base is
try{
Statement stmt;
ResultSet rs;
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
String url=adress;
Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, user);
stmt=con.createStatement();
rs=stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * " +
"from "+table+" ORDER BY id");
while(rs.next()){
get data...
Town T=new Town(data...); //construct town object
TL.put(T); //put town objects in an object TownList to use later
con.close();
catch(Exception e){
So;
1) Why wont the applet read anymore?
2) Is there a better way to do this? I have heard that its better to connect applets to servlets in some situations. What demands does this place on the server? Is there software that you need to install on the server to use servlets?

I think I do need an applet. The map I have written permits a lot of features that I dont know how to achieve in another way.
1) Zooming in and out on mousewheel
2) Clicking on on two towns gives the distance and by selecting a trooptype one can get information about the traveltime between cities.
3) Right now, I have a feature to find players or groups of players that are of special interest. It allows a player to submit a list of interesting players. The applet reads this list and provides a button with the players name. If one clicks the name of a player, all his cities flash between their originall color and white (using thread).
I need java to do this and I need to run it in a webbrowser because there are som parts of the game that is made up of php. So I assume I have to build it as an applet?

Dreamweaver CS5.5 Mobile Apps with PHP and MYSQL?

Hello,
I don't have Dreamweaver CS5.5 yet and I've been trying to search for information on this but I couldn't find any. I've been learning PHP and been developing with MYSQL with Dreamweaver CS5 but I wanted to know if I can use the same tags and everything if I would to build a Mobile App using the new Dreamweaver CS5.5 (http://tv.adobe.com/watch/cs-55-web-premium-feature-tour-/dreamweaver-cs-55-jquery-mobile- pages/). I overlooked at the video and it seems pretty easy building an app. So is PHP and MYSQL easily integratable? Are there any examples that I might be able to check out?
Thanks!

No. PHP is a server-side scripting language that requires a server (or server-like environment) to run.
An iPhone (or Android) application does not allow for a "built-in" server (which is resource intensive and has scary security implications). You just can't build an application with PHP/MySQL for a mobile device. Instead you can build a web service that your HTML/JavaScript mobile application can then communicate with. This is the only supported way you can use PHP/MySQL in a mobile app. Again: the PHP/MySQL should reside on a server and your HTML/JS mobile app can then communicate with that web service. That's what instapaper and other applications do.
Frankly, just make a web application that's mobile device friendly and you'll:
1) Avoid all the messiness of the app stores
2) Have greater control over what your web app can do (don't have to tow the Apple/Google line)
3) Have a web app that can work across mulitple mobile devices as well as standard web browsers (i.e. more audience = more $).
4) Future proof your application (pushing updates to your server and everyone using your web app is updated)
Otherwise, read-up on Adobe AIR and what it supports and remember, the best apps are written natively for the platform (i.e. want to write an app for an iPhone? Learn Objective-C and use xCode on a Mac. Want to write an app for Motorola Xoom? Learn the Android SDK and use inteliJ).
