IPv6 format connection string 10g

Hi
I am using Oracle 10g driver for java 1.4. I am trying to connect to the db using a connection string with an IPv6 format, for example:
jdbc:oracle:thin:fernando/password@[3ffe:ffff:0:f110::91]:1521:perf11
and I can't get connected. It raises the following exception:
java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: Invalid connection string format, a valid format is: "host:port:sid"
     at oracle.jdbc.driver.DatabaseError.throwSqlException(DatabaseError.java:145)
     at oracle.jdbc.driver.DatabaseError.throwSqlException(DatabaseError.java:190)

     at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:193)
Can anybody tell me what have I forgotten or done wrong?
Thank in advance

I have the same queestion:
Can we connect to the Oracle database using a connection string with an IPv6 format? I have no problem using hostname, but would like to know if IPv6 address is supported in db connection url?
Thanks!

Ultrasearch Connection string format issue

Hi,
I have been wrestling with Ultrasearch installation and keep encountering this error when I attempt to load the Ultrasearch Portlet in the 10G MT.
oracle.ultrasearch.query.SearchException: WKG17005: connection failure: Io exception: Invalid connection string format, a valid format is: "//host:port/service_name"
My data_sources.xml file is configured as follows:
     <data-source
     class="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleConnectionCacheImpl"
     name="UltraSearchDS"
     location="jdbc/UltraSearchPooledDS"
     username="Ultrasearch"
     password="*******"
     url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@//hostname:1521:sid"
     inactivity-timeout="30"/>
I have verified the setup of the Ultrasearch user in the database, and have verified the Ultrasearch.properties file setup.
I'm not sure if TNS is setup correctly or if the DAD settings for the portal have something to do with this - I was not able to find any referecne to configuration of those files in the Oracle Documenation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Roy

"jdbc:oracle:thin:@//hostname:1521:sid" isn't a valid url. You have to remove the "//", i.e. "jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:1521:sid".
The syntax "//host:port/service_name" is used when to want to use a service name instead of SID.

10g / Enterprise Manager / SAVES old CONNECT STRING

Using 10g Personal Edition on Windows XP, I was able to use Enterprise Manager.
Then I rebooted. My DSL modem changed the IP address. The previous IP address was stored in SqlNet.ORA, TNSNames.Ora, the Registry and in a file directory name:
F:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db_5\208.127.230.185_Forcl
The new IP is 208.127.230.136 .
I can login with SQL*Plus.
Enterprise Manager says I should Recover the Database. It uses this connect string:
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=208.127.230.185)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=Forcl)))
There is no clear place to edit the HOST IP or to clear out ALL of the previous references to the old IP address.
Suggestions?
Thanks,

Oracle connection string - jdbc format

I'm having issues connecting to an Oracle database from asp.net (C#) - Visual Studio 2013.
I've installed odp.net and in my project I see references for System.Data.OracleClient (Framework tab) and Oracle.DataAccess and Oracle.Web (Extensions tab).
Tried all of those, but getting a problem with the connection string.
Our dbas have given us only one format of connection string that will work, listed below:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@ldap://oid.inf.mycompany.com:3060/myserviceName1,cn=OracleContext,dc=ute,dc=mycompanyname,dc=com
This works fine for developers who use Weblogic, but I can't get this to work with C#.
I put the above value in web.config and use the below code:
using System.Data.OracleClient;
//using Oracle.DataAccess.Client;
                using (OracleConnection conn = new OracleConnection())
                   try
                       conn.ConnectionString = Properties.Settings.Default.sqlConnStr;
                       //SqlCommand cmd = conn.CreateCommand();
                       OracleCommand cmd = conn.CreateCommand();
                       cmd.CommandText = Properties.Settings.Default.sqlQuery1;
                       cmd.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.Text;
                       //cmd.CommandTimeout = 10;
                       conn.Open();
                       log.Info("Getting local users from db");
                       //SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
                       OracleDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
                       while (dr.Read())
using this, I get errors like below:
System.Data.OracleClient.OracleException: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
at:
conn.Open();
another error seen below:
System.ArgumentException: Keyword not supported: 'jdbc:oracle:thin:@ldap://oid.inf.mycompany.com:3060/myserviceName1,cn'.
at:
conn.ConnectionString = Properties.Settings.Default.sqlConnStr;
Even if these errors can be resolved, how would I specify a user id and password for this format of connection string?
Thanks for any help you can provide,

JDBC connection strings

We're having a problem connecting to one of our databases using JDBC thin. There seem to be two formats for the connection strings:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@opctest.deq.state.ms.us:1522:TEST8131
jdbc:oracle:thin:@//opctest.deq.state.ms.us:1522/TEST8131
From a java app, the first throws an "Io exception: Invalid connection string format, a valid format is: "//host:port/service_name" " error; the second throws a TNS-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor error.
What confuses me more is that if I test this string from a JSP page:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@opctest.deq.state.ms.us:1522:test8131
it connects fine.
The environment is Oracle9i on Red Hat, running MTS. Java app is running on WinXP. Anyone have an idea what's going on?
Thanks,
Harry

I can see a couple of issues in your connect string:
1. I see you are using the sid in uppercase, TEST8131 instead of test8131. If you are working on a unix environment this makes a difference, so use the lower case instead.
2. You are using the 1522 port, check with your database administrator if the instance is registered against the 1522 port, otherwise the error TNS-12514 will show up. I will assume it currently works fine since you have declared the jsp using the same address works fine with this port.
3. Ensure the hostname can be solved just exactly the way you have declared it (fully qualified domain) from the perspective where the jdbc program is running.
4. the format described here: opctest.deq.state.ms.us:1522/TEST8131 is known as the EZConnect, and it is a 10g feature.

Can anyone answer this question? What is used to format a string so that it falls into a certain Row/Column in excel? see text for indepth question.

I'm attaching a file that may help. Just remember this is my FIRST attempt at using NI/FeildPoint so things that would be obvious to the normal users more than likely would slide right by me. So I'll try and explain what the text contains as to make my problem more clear. I'm using a FP-1000, FP-AI-100, and a FP-TB-10. i'm creating a application where I'm using the 8 channels from the FP-AI-100 to monitor a control system ,that we manufacture. The control system is in an environmental chamber. I use the FP-TB-10 to monitor the temperature while in the chamber. The control system is ran for 4 hours under varing enviromental conditions while I monitor vital system voltages with the FP-AI-100. Now the application that i'm building starts with the obvious FP CREATE.VI and so forth I have no problem communicating with the FP's, but the information that I'm monitioring needs to be placed into a file with Headers describing the information below it. Now I use a "WHILE LOOP.VI" to monitor the FP-AI-100 & FP-TB-10 for the 4 hour period. but before that I create and open a file where I use a "CONCATENATE STRINGS.VI" to enter the headers I need. I do this by CONSTANTS, CONTROLS, TABs, AND CARRIAGE RETURN being entered into the "CONCATENATE STRINGS.VI" in the order I want them to appear. I use ROW 1 to enter (OPERATOR:with a CONSTANT) an a (CONTROL so the operator may enter his name and be recorded into the file) using a TAB to seperate Columns and a CARRIAGE RETURNto drop down to ROW 2 for the next headers. I use header names and TABs to seperate the columns. This part works great. I end up with ROW 1 having the operator information then ROW 2 having the headers for all the channels I'm using to monitor the control system with in their own column. The trouble happens when I write to this file during the "WHILE LOOP". The information recorded for DATE:, TIME:, and Channel 0 of the FP-AI-100 end up right under their corresponding header on ROW 3, but the rest of the data ends up on ROW 4 in column 3 and goes down many rows with some of the data not being stored at all. It varies on how many rows are used starting at ROW 4 but hey always stay in column 3. I use the "FP READ.VI" outputing to a "ARRAY TO SPREADSHEET STRING.VI" outputing to a "CONCATENATE STRINGS.VI" for each channel within the "WHILE LOOP" then into the "WRITE.VI". I use the "CONCATENATE STRINGS.VI" to place my data OR atleast I thought you could do that some how I'm not quit doing something write either there is a sampling/timing issue or writing to file issue where things are being confused in the "WHILE LOOP" if someone know a better route to perform what I'm tring here I would be interested. Its not like I'm not giving it the old colledge try here but without proper training and the vagness of the manuals it's difficult to understand what every connection actually does.I'm tring though for everyone who happens to fill pity for me
Thanks for your help

Allmost right. The 8 channels come out as 1D-array, ch0...ch7.

I don't use this Spreadsheet VI, because files coming out there allways
start this time consuming EXCEL wizzard. Because of this, I programmed my
own CSV-conversion vi. Maybe you could just use a common texteditor, like
wordpad and put the csv-examples from my last reply down to a text file
and rename it to *.csv. Texteditors terminate lines with "\r\n" by
default, so this is a very quick way for testing.
> FP_Analog_Logging example to record all eight channels it uses a Array
I didn't find the vi you metione above, but there is another good one:
Look at examples\FieldPoint\DataLogging\FP Logger.vi.
In a little case structure, at "false", there is a function called "Format
into string".
Pop up on the format string and adjust >>'\' Codes Display<<.
Then you change the format string into: %.;%-f%s
A Tab string is connected to the lower input of this function. Replace
this one with a comma.
That should do.

Yes, just as explained above. If you put a indicator at the output to
display the values, you can expand the display to show all 8 channels, but
you can't name induvidual cells. In a array, all cells have identical
named labels. If you want to name the individually, you have to attach the
array to cluster function and put the indicator after this one. Enable
labe display and name the output values individually.

Explained above.

Well, modifying strings are done with string functions.
Above, as I explained how the sample FP Logger.vi can be modified to do
the job for numbers. The pre- and suffixing with ", you only need for
strings, which EXCEL should interpret a string and as nothing else as a
string, even if there's a number inside. You usually need this only for
headers. So its easyest, if you just write your string into a string
constant or control and concatenate it to the previous csv-file contents.
Oh, I just see by looking at the above mentioned example... Inside the
case structure, but in the "true" case, there are error messages
concatenated to the logfile. At this point it is importent, to use " for
integrating the message into the CSV file, because a error message usually
looks like this: >> ERROR 2345 in vi yxz <<
Here you have text and number strings mixed in one line. EXCEL does not
know, if it should interpret the number inside the error line as separate
number, separating the line into three colums i.e. string before number,
number and string after number. So tell EXCEL by putting a " before and
after the line each.
For this, expand the Format To String function by one input, move down all
connections, to be able to insert a string constant with a " to the first
argument connector. Change the contents of the string constant at the
bottom argument from tab to ", (quotation mark AND comma)

The example I mentioned above help here to.
Look at the Write File function. This function receves data from a
function named concatenate strings. Expand this function to have one more
spare input at the bottom. Create a string constant. Switch the constant
display to "\" mode. Enter "col0","col1","col2"\r\n into the constant.
Connect the constant to the spare input.
Doing this, every dataline in the csv file is followed by
"col0","col1","col2"\r\n .

Powershell use Connection String to query Database and write to Excel

Right now I have a powershell script that uses ODBC to query SQL Server 2008 / 2012 database and write to EXCEL
$excel = New-Object -Com Excel.Application
$excel.Visible = $True
$wb = $Excel.Workbooks.Add()
$ws = $wb.Worksheets.Item(1)
$ws.name = "GUP Download Activity"
$qt = $ws.QueryTables.Add("ODBC;DSN=$DSN;UID=$username;PWD=$password", $ws.Range("A1"), $SQL_Statement)
if ($qt.Refresh()){
$ws.Activate()
$ws.Select()
$excel.Rows.Item(1).HorizontalAlignment = $xlCenter
$excel.Rows.Item(1).VerticalAlignment = $xlTop
$excel.Rows.Item("1:1").Font.Name = "Calibri"
$excel.Rows.Item("1:1").Font.Size = 11
$excel.Rows.Item("1:1").Font.Bold = $true
$filename = "D:\Script\Reports\Status_$a.xlsx"
if (test-path $filename ) { rm $filename }
$wb.SaveAs($filename, $xlOpenXMLWorkbook) #save as an XML Workbook (xslx)
$wb.Saved = $True #flag it as being saved
$wb.Close() #close the document
$Excel.Quit() #and the instance of Excel
$wb = $Null #set all variables that point to Excel objects to null
$ws = $Null #makes sure Excel deflates
$Excel=$Null #let the air out
I would like to use connection string to query the database and write results to EXCEL, i.e.
$SQL_Statement = "SELECT ..."
$conn = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
$conn.ConnectionString = "Server=10.10.10.10;Initial Catalog=mydatabase;User Id=$username;Password=$password;"
$conn.Open()
$cmd = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand($SQL_Statement,$conn)
do{
try{
$rdr = $cmd.ExecuteReader()
while ($rdr.read()){
$sql_output += ,@($rdr.GetValue(0), $rdr.GetValue(1))
$transactionComplete = $true
catch{
$transactionComplete = $false
}until ($transactionComplete)
$conn.Close()
How would I read the columns and data for $sql_output into an EXCEL worksheet. Where do I find these tutorials?

Hi Q.P.Waverly,
If you mean to export the data in $sql_output to excel document, please try to format the output with psobject:
$sql_output=@()
do{
try{
$rdr = $cmd.ExecuteReader()
while ($rdr.read()){
$sql_output+=New-Object PSObject -Property @{data1 = $rdr.GetValue(0);data2 =$rdr.GetValue(1)}
$transactionComplete = $true
catch{
$transactionComplete = $false
}until ($transactionComplete)
$conn.Close()
Then please try to use the cmdlet "Export-Csv" to export the data to excel like:
$sql_output | Export-Csv d:\data.csv
Or you can export to worksheet like:
$excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
$excel.Visible = $true
$workbook = $excel.Workbooks.Add()
$sheet = $workbook.ActiveSheet
$counter = 0
$sql_output | ForEach-Object {
$counter++
$sheet.cells.Item($counter,1) = $_.data1$sheet.cells.Item($counter,2) = $_.data2}
Refer to:
PowerShell and Excel: Fast, Safe, and Reliable
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

OBIEE 11g install fails on step 7 (database connect string)

I've currently spent 2 days trying to install OBIEE 11g on two machines (independently). This first is a Windows XP SP3 test PC running 4GB RAM, whilst the second is a Windows 2003 virtual server with 3GB RAM. The Database is Oracle 10g (10.2.0.4.0) on AIX 5.3.
The DBA has successfully run the RCU on the Database and the schemas needed for OBIEE have been created. The BIPLATFORM schema has also been granted DBA privileges.
Now I've tried to run both the simple and the Enterprise install for OBIEE 11g, but it always fails at the same step (step 7 of 13: Database details). I have selected the following:
Database Type: Oracle Database
Connect String: hostname:port:instance, where hostname is the full server path eg xxxxx.uk.com and instance name is FFADEV01
BIPLATFORM Schema Username: As per username defined in RCU
BIPLATFORM Schema Password: As per password entered in RCU
If i change the connection string to FFADEV01.WORLD i get a 08031 error, whereas I am normally getting an 08035 error. The annoying thing is that I can connect to the schema using RapidSQL and the usernames and passwords as created in the RCU.
Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

How was he able to install the BIPlATFORM schema using RCU on AIX? I thought RCU was only on Linux and Window platforms? I am about to install OBIEE 11.1.1.5 on AIX with a Oracle 10g DB but from what I read I wont be able to create the needed OBIEE schemas for the install because I won't be able to use the RCU on AIX. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Formatting a string with time stamp and double precision numbers

%s\t%f\r%f
This is a format string that I have in old code that I've decided to change. Problem is I cannot make sense of the string codes in my own old code! Let me explain what I want, and hopefully someone can explain how to do it.
I am using the format into string subvi to merge a time stamp (formatted as %m%d%Y%H%M%S%5u) and two different double precision numbers. This string is then wired into the Write Characters to File subvi so that I can record data as a .txt file, and open it in either Matlab or Excel. There is a minor problem with the string format above because in excel the first time stamp entry is blank, and the first loop only gives the two double precision numbers withouth the time stamp - the time stamp appears in the next loop (probably a looping issue and not due to the string format, but if you see differently please let me know). Now what I want to do is 1. potentially fix that problem and 2. add some more doubles.
1. Is there a string format issue that is evident that I am not seeing that causes the time stamp to be formatted into the string after a carriage return? Or should I be looking at looping issues?
2. How do I add another one - three floating point numbers (double precision)? Are the \'s marking different numbers in this string constant? Or is it the %? I can't find any information about the \'s, but I see that % begins the format specifier.
Ideally, I want these data in the following columns: Date, Time(absolute), FP, FP, FP, carriage return for the next loop (FP is floating point double precision number).
Thanks,
Brad

Hi JonN,
Here there is no need of string concordinate function (in your code), the same result you can find if you connect the output of the format string to shift register, and shift register in data to initialize string connector in format into string function.

Database connection string dynamic

Hello everybody,
My application should do some tests that user choses.
For each test type I should save the database in a file with different name, something like : Report_YYYY_MM_DD_Test_x, without stopping the execution of the application.
My problem is that i cannont rename the database after Teststand wrote in it. I must stop first the application and then I can rename it.
I tried to build dynamic connection strings and to prepare the database before Teststand write it. But I saw that after the first acces, despite of new connection string, Testand write further in the database described in the first connection string. Also seems that the handle to database once established, will be released at the end of test. I could close the connection to the DB but i don't know if it is possible.
for any ideea how to handle this situation i would be grateful

Hi Harleen Kaur Chadha,
I understand your requirement is access 5-6 database on same server using one JDB receiver channel. I think, it is possible. SAP Help [Link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/44/7c24a75cf83672e10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm ]. In receiver JDB channel select Message Protocol : u201CNative SQL Stringu201D. Then you have make sure that the payload coming to this JDBC receiver channel should look like this
INSERT INTO DatabaseName : tableName
(column-name1, column-name2, column-name3)
VALUES(u2018column-value1u2019, u2018column-value2u2019, u2018column-value3u2019)
But, the mapping program you are using now, should generate the String (shown above). And SAP says this protocol is primarily for test purposes.
FYI. If you select Message Protocol: "XML SQL Format", finally it would be converted to string (shown above) will be sent to database.

Opening a new form using a different connect string

Hi All
I have the following requirement. I want to open an new form (when button pressed) using a different connect string. I am planning to use open form so that the new form has its own session. But I donot want the new form to connect to the same database. How do I pass the database that I want to connect using open form.
Rgds
Arvind Balaraman

The only way to change the connection is to execute the built-in LOGIN and connect to the desired database. You cannot pass this through the OPEN_FORM built-in.
Example:
LOGOUT;
LOGON(uname, upass || '@' || conn_str);
However, be aware that this will impact the first form too. This is expected behavior.
See Oracle Bug 5004661 or the Forms Online Help for more details.
