Informix v9.3 support

Has anyone gotten Kodo to work with Informix v9.3
yet ? I would like to hear from you on your
experiences (Installation/Tweaking) - good or bad ?
Thanks
Gavin

First of all, there was no 9.3. The VIs are actually saved in 10.0.
Secondly, those VIs are password protected. Without the password, I can't do anything with them.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

Is Informix 11.5 Supported wtih BOE XI R2?

Hi There
Can anyone tell me if Informix 11.5 is a supported DB for BOE XI R2?
I have found a SAP note (1236350) saying that it is supported in XI 3, but i can't find anything for R2.
The supported platforms document for R2 and 3 only list up to Informix 10.0.
Thanks
Angela

Hi Angela,
Informix 11.5 is not supported with BO XIR2.
The latest Service Pack of BO XIR2 is SP5 and in SP5 supported paltform guide below supported Infomix DB versions are given:
BO XIR2 SP5:
IBM Informix Dynamic Server 9.4
IBM Informix Dynamic Server 10.0

520496-BW 3.0 external DB Connect after INFORMIX
Symptom
You want to connect an external Informix database to a BW Release greater than 3.0A in the form of a source system via an external Database Connect. This note describes the following:
prerequisites to be met
problems that can occur
which of these problems can be solved.
Other terms
Rsdbc, DATES, TIMES, DBCON, DBCONNECT, source system, database, InfoSource, DataSource
Reason and Prerequisites
1. General
2. Supported BW / Basis versions
3. Possible main problem areas
a) Conventions and notation
b) Use of data types
c) Code page and sort sequence of the source system
1. General
               Implementing the above function enables you to load data into a BW system from any Informix database. Unlike an Informix database delivered by SAP AG, you can configure this database as you like. This can cause constellations where an external DB access cannot be used directly. For most of these scenarios, a satisfactory customer-specific solution can be developed. However, the consulting expenses associated with this solution are not part of the normal support and are settled separately. A certain level of expertise and experience in using the source database (Informix in this case) is required to set up this connection, especially in the areas
DB-specific tools
DB-specific SQLSyntax
DB-specific function
               Knowledge of the source application is also required for transferring semantically-relevant data to the BW system.
Solution
1. Supported BW/Basis versions
              BW 3.0B   Basis 6. 20 Support Package 21
1. Possible main problem areas
a) Conventions and notation
            The DB connect interface in BW always expects capitalized table and field names. Since table and column names are usually written in lower case in Informix, access to an external table must be enabled via a view on the (external) Informix database. Field and table names must be entered in upper case in the view (enclose in quotation marks; environment variable DELIMIDENT must be set).
           Another advantage of the view is that access rights to the external table can be adjusted accordingly for the new requests. The view should be created as follows:
create view "<VIEWNAME>" ("<FIELD1>", "<FIELD2>"..)
as select
<field1>, <field2>....
from <tabname>;
a) Use of data types
            In the case of SAP installations, the DB data type DATE and DATETIME are not used. Date and time are stored by the DDIC as character-like data types on the database. These date types therefore cannot be copied to the BW consistently without additional activities.
           Solution:
            You must create a view in the source system view which transforms the date types. DATE must be converted to an CHAR8 field (date) and DATETIME to an CHAR8 field (date) and a CHAR10 field (time):
create view "<VIEWNAME>" ("<FIELD1>")
as select
substring ( to_char(<date_field>,'%Y%m%d) from 1 for 8 )
from <tabname>;
create view "<VIEWNAME>" ("<FIELD1>", "<FIELD2>")
as select
substring ( to_char(<datetime_field>,'%r) from 1 for 2 ) ||
substring ( to_char(<datetime_field>,'%r) from 4 for 2 ) ||
substring ( to_char(<datetime_field>,'%r) from 7 for 2 ) ||
'0000'
from <tabname>; #
            Informix and ABAP support a value range of 1x10E-307 to 1x10E+308 for the 'float' data type. Limits may apply in the case of other databases. Before transferring 'float' data types to BW, you should therefore check the permissible value range on the target database.
a) Code page and sort sequence of the source system
               R/3 kernel based systems like BW are configured so that the database used is created with code page cp850 and the sort sequence 'bin'. The configuration of the source system may deviate from this.
               If the sort sequence is different, operations for pattern search ( like ) and area search ( between, >, < ) for character-like fields may return different results. No solution is currently available for this problem.
               The use of multibyte code pages in the source system for storing character sets with more than 256 characters ( Kanji, Hiragana, Korean, Chinese etc.) can cause inaccuracies in the data. No solution is currently available for this problem.

Workshop 81 Database Controls & Informix

Hi !
Does anybody have a solution for the following problem ?
Problem: Using Workshop 81 and Informix JDBC driver from IBM (version 2.21), I'm
trying to build a database control to insert/retrieve large TEXT data into Informix
DB.
Q: Of which java data type should be the input/return value from my method in
the Workshop database control (I think it should be java.sql.Clob) Is this correct?
Q: If so, does IBM's Informix JDBC driver support operations like (rs.getClob,
etx on TEXT fileds) ?
Q: If not, can I build this kind of database control with IBM's JDBC driver at
all ?
Please forward possible solutions to my email ([email protected]).
Mux thnx,
Matevz

Since no one answered yet, I'll answer myself (some). I found a neat article and the code to go with it on dev2dev that handles paging through many rows by wrapping the <netui:repeater> tag. See:
http://dev2dev.bea.com/pub/a/2005/02/netui_repeater.html
Very cool. Thanks to the author, Gerald Nunn. I'd much rather find code already written than have to write it myself. ;-)

Wrong create table query in informix 11.50

hello, toplink is generating the wrong query to create the table (google translate)
example:
database: informix 11.50 (Windows 32)
@Entity
public class User {
     @Id
     @GeneratedValue(strategy=IDENTITY)
     private Long id;
Generated query:
CREATE TABLE USUARIO (ID NUMERIC(19) SERIAL NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (ID))
This is wrong. Informix does't support "NUMERIC(19) SERIAL" syntax.
Thanks.

Please log a bug in eclipse bugzilla and provide the correct sql.

BW 70 connect to Informix UD connect

Hi i need connect bw 70 to an informix database.
how i can do? db connect not supported informix.
If it possible to UD connect? how i can do?
appreciate any help
regards
Angel

Hi Angel:
Since access from BW 3.0 to an Informix Database is supported via DB Connect, I assume access from BW 7.0 to Informix is also supported, please refer to the following document:
"Transferring Data with DB Connect"

Manual JVM Install in XE

If I were to run the initjvm scripts against a XE database to manually install JVM to the XE database, would I then be able to execute stored java code or will I run into other limitations of XE and Java?

Since the main target of XE is people who are using open source databases for development and then other commercial databases for production environments, it needs to keep up with the competition. The alternative is the free DB2 Express-C which "can be run on up to 2 dual-core CPU servers, with up to 4 GB of memory, any storage system setup and with no restrictions on database size or any other artificial restrictions". The full support of SQL PL and Java Stored Procedure provides much more smooth transition from development to production. In fact I am amazed to see the following list of features that are not supported in the free DB2 Express-C.
* Replication
* High Availability
* Spatial Extender Client and Samples
* Microsoft Cluster Server support
* Informix Data Source Support,
* DB2 Web tools
* GSKit
* APPC and Netbios
(I am just trying to convince Oracle not to be too cheap.)

Problems using third-party JDBC with JDeveloper

Hi:
I've tried to use an Informix's JDBC to access an Informix Online Workgroup v. 7.22 under Win NT 4.0, using JDeveloper. I tried Informix JDBC Driver V. 2.1 successfully with old-fashioned code using Connect, Statement and ResultSet objects, coding connections directly, but I couldn't define a connection so I can use wizards, 'cause I got an "Unable to find server: com.informix.jdbc.IfxDriver" error when I tried to test connection. I've probed this:
* Create a library for Informix JDBC in my project. This step allowed me to make run my old-fashioned code.
* When I created connection, I defined correct login, password and role parameters, then I selected "Other JDBC" on the JDBC Driver's combo, as classname I defined "com.informix.jdbc.IfxDriver" and as URL "jdbc:informix-sqli://127.0.0.1:1526/atlas:INFORMIXSERVER=produc_shm;".
Classname I used is equals to classname I used in Class.forName method. URL use same format than DriverManager.getConnection method, adding pair user-password to it, and those parameters work ok coding connection directly using Connection method. By the other side, looking at Informix JDBC's Manual, it says Informix's JDBC supports connection using Datasource also.
Which are steps I must follow?

Hi,
Unfortunately there was a regression bug around using the Generic JDBC connector to a Foreign Database in this Technology Preview (3). I'm not able to give you good news as I don't have a workaround for you either.
You could use SQLDeveloper to connect to the database for live work, unfortunately that will not help if you wanted to create offline objects of some sort using JDeveloper.

Extract data on forms9i through ODBC/systemDSN

Im trying to extract data through system DSN using ODBC utility on
forms 9i , i'll be grateful if anyone help me that how can i connect to ODBC/system DSN on forms9i and inform me in this regard.
Asim

Well yeah,
That's what I have done actually (I just forgot to update this thread).
I was actually able to create views over informix tables with serial data type, using a cast to integer, and then, I was able to extract data from those informix tables.
Indeed, the DI documentation states that the serial datatype in informix is not supported in DI...
I just wonder how I could solve that if I hadn't the right to create views in the production database....
Any thoughts ?

I have a requirement for migration of Informix 9.2.1 DB to Oracle 8i. Does OMWB 9.2.0 support this?

Thanks for the Answer but;
I don't think there is not another place to download this file therefore, i need to know it if there is...

ADF 11 and not supported database (Informix)

Hi,
Our client wants to create ADF RC application for Informix Dynamic Server 11.5. According to [JDeveloper 11g Database Support|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/htdocs/11/database.html] - it's not supported database. I tested ADF BC with Informix and it doesn't work. But what about EJB/JPA as bussiness layer for ADF RC components. Is this possible to use this stack for unsuported databases. What are limitations ? Is Oracle planning to publish more documentation and examples for EJB/JPA/ADF RC ?
Kuba

Some of the things that you get for free with ADF BC will require extra code on your end if you choose to use EJB/JPA.
For example your table won't have filtering capabilities by default since a JPA entity by default doesn't provide for query by example capabilities.
Declarative LOV, and Query components are also ADF BC features.
We don't have a full list documenting these right now.

Informix HDR support use with iPlanet 6.5

Has anyone out there implemented Informix high-availability data replication client support on an iPlanet 6.5sp1 application? I'm interested in finding out how and if it's possible to register datasources with the application server using an object of a specific type (other than the default DataSource type). It seems that you cannot typecast a DataSource type to an IfxDataSource type. The special methods allowing HDR checking to happen are only available when using the Informix specific classes.

Hi JimCanup,
Welcome To Adobe Forums.
However after reading the logs it looks like that you do not full permission (means read, write and execute) on the root folder location.
Please check the permission and also get the root folder name from the webhosting company where your website is getting hosted.

Error -11040 Driver does not support this function- Informix SE db

Hello,
Weu2019re getting an error -11040 "Driver does not support this function" when trying to connect to an ODBC data source to an InformixSE database. This is with Crystal 2010 and 2008 on a Windows XP sp2 box. Weu2019re trying to use the ODBC(RDO) choice for a new connection.
The Informix ODBC driver has been loaded. We tried 3 versions, the 2.40 and 3.70(latest) ones from IBM, and one that I believe came with Crystal (CR xxxx). I tried turning on the ODBC trace file, but it didnu2019t write anything to the log. We are supplying the same log in credentials as with Excel.
   The Informix database we use is Informix SE (Standard Engine) v5.10 on separate machine running Unix (Aix) with the Informix-Net daemon running to handle odbc connectivity. We are able to connect from Excel to the Informix database.
I donu2019t know what ODBC function Crystal may be expecting from the driver that it doesnu2019t seem to support and how to tell Crystal to not need it.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
According to the Platforms for DB support we only support these Informix data sources:
IDS (Informix Dynamic Server)     11.50       32 bit       64 bit        Linux               AIX                   Solaris

ODBC      IBM Informix ODBC SDK 3.50             Direct     Direct     Direct             Direct             Direct
ODBC      DataDirect ODBC 6.0 SP2 (10)      Direct     Direct     Direct             Direct             Direct
You may want to try the Data Direct 6.x drivers as a test.
CR in the .NET IDE is running under 32 bit mode so make sure you are using the 32 bit Client.

CR9/Informix 7.4: "Not Supported" error

Hi All,
I've been racking my brain for the last day on this. I have a crystal report that has sub-reports, all data is collected from Informix stored procedures, but i'm receiving a very non-descript error "Not Supported" when trying to add any new subreports:
Main Report -> (storedproc_1)
--> SubReport (storedproc_2) Existing
--> SubReport2 (storedproc_3) Existing
--> SubReportNew (storedproc_4) NEW
When i run the above report, i get this "Not Supported" error pop-up about 4 times in a row on the page where SubReportNew is supposed to run. if i suppress this subreport it works fine and shows the first 2 subreports.
The Strange Part:
When i open the subreport and run it in isolation it works! Then if i run it from the main report it works fine. But once the document is closed and re-opened its back to not working.
When i put tracing on the stored procedure i find that Crystal isn't even calling it - it bombs out before that point.
Has anyone ever experienced this, or know how i can get more description on the error messages, is there a log somewhere with more detail?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Trent

This thread can be closed. Although I did not find the cause of this problem, i did find a work around.
I was able to create new sub reports IF i import them from previously created reports - i was then able to change the datasource & create the reports i wanted.
The only thing i can think of is maybe a Windows release has changed some dependent DLLs and causing incompatibility issues. I say windows because we have not upgraded or installed any fixes for CR9 for over 2 years and never had this problem.

Data Federator on Unix - Need to connect to Informix

Hi,
We are planning to Deploy Data Federator in Linux - SuSE 64 bit environment. We also have a need to connect to Informix and Teradata databases.
According to the supported platforms document, only ODBC drivers are available to connect to Informix and Teradata databases.
Is there a driver bridge available for these ODBC connectivity only databases?
Update: Didnt notice there were Unix ODBC drivers available. I think we should be fine.
Will it be supported if wel use the Informix Type 4 JDBC driver (http://www-01.ibm.com/software/data/informix/tools/jdbc/) as a Generic JDBC driver? Is there any performance impact?
Appreciate the assistance.
Thanks,
Thiag.

How will you access your third-party module in a NT box from UNIX? If it will be over TCP/IP, you may use the UTL_TCP package.
