Lotus Notes + ODBC Connection

Hi,
we have several problems with an ODBC Connection from Lotus Notes 6.5 to Oracle database 10GR2 (Oracle Client 10.2 and ODBC Driver 10.02.00.03). I suppose these are Lotus Notes problems, but maybe somebody has an idea.
1) We cannot update a row in a table whether a column is declared as 'varchar2( 10 char)'. Surprisingly, the declaration of 'varchar2(10)', which represents 'varchar(10 bytes)', can be updated. We know that notes is not able to determine the 'native data type' 'varchar' in the first case.
2) We cannot update or delete a row with a varchar2 value with trailing blanks. Ok we can use trim in every update or within a trigger, but this cannot be the right solution.
Are there any odbc configurations / settings to prevent such behavior e.g. to cut trailing blanks.
Are there other experiences with this strange constellation (Lotus Notes + Relational database)
Thanks
André

Hi,
here are some new infos regarding this issue:
This happens only on Oracle 10gR2 on Red Hat Enterprise 4. We tested it on Oracle 10gR1 / Windows XP and non of these errors occured.
What could be the difference?
thx

  • Lotus notes and SSIS ODBC connection not working

    I have created an ODBC source.  I tried using this in SSIS workflow ODBC, when I test the connection, it crashes my Visual Studio 2010

    Hi Kathy,
    Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
    Based on your issue, could you please tell me if you connect the
    Lotus notes and SSIS ODBC with ADO.NET like this following link.
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a6c32c6b-876a-4fd5-8faa-d6498a6755c7/updatedwhere-to-post-nonadonet-datagridview-tableadapter-odbcoledb-etc-questions?forum=adodotnetdataproviders
    If possible, please share me more detailed steps about how to connect the
    Lotus notes and SSIS ODBC in the VS2010.
    In addition, could you please share me some crash error message in this VS2010 when test this connection?
    To check if this issue is related to this VS IDE, I suggest you could try to connect
    Lotus notes and SSIS ODBC on other machine and then check if you still get this issue.
    (1) If you still get this crash issue, I assume that this issue is related to this connection
    Lotus notes and SSIS ODBC.
    (2) If you did not get same error message, I suggest you could try to restart your machine and then open this VS2010 as Admin on your local machine and then connect it check this issue again.
    Please try to close the firewall software on some other progress from this Task Manager and then check this issue.
    In addition, I suggest you could try to use this process monitor tool to check which process running when you test this connect.

  • Connect Lotus Notes with ODBC driver

    I am trying to figure out connecting SQL Developer with ODBC connection ( set on to ODBC Data Source ) for lotus notes. I am able successfully connect through Excel with that connection. With SQL Developer , its asking for JDBC driver but lotus notes version (R5) what I am using does not support JDBC driver.
    Is there any way to connect using ODBC data source for lotus notes.

    No.
    SQL Developer is a Java based tool and requires JDBC. Theoretically you could use the JDBC-ODBC bridge, but there would be no point. SQL Developer is an Oracle specific development and query tool which allows connection to selected other DBMSs in order to support migration to Oracle. Lotus Notes is not one of the supported systems.
    SQL Developer is NOT a general purpose, multi-DBMS tool.

  • ODBC connection not able to see all schemas

    Hi everyone,
    We have noticed an unusual problem that just recently started. In our database, I have created a read-only user - only has the ability to connect to the database, and SELECT ANY TABLE. Then we have some applications (Crystal Reports and Lotus Notes Agents) that use this user to query data. The applications use an ODBC connection, and when we initially set this up, everything worked beautifully.
    However, suddenly we have noticed that the ODBC connection is not able to see all of the schemas in the database. We have tested and confirmed this - using either 9.02 ODBC or 10.01, this happens with both of them. I created a couple new ODBC connections, one for each version, then I try to create a new Crystal Report, using this ODBC connection - when I connect using the read-only user, it connects just fine, but when it shows me all of the schemas available, I am only seeing about half of them (and of course not seeing the one that I really need to see).
    However, when I use Microsoft Access, and try to import some External Data, and I use the same ODBC connections, then I AM seeing all of the schemas.
    Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Any ideas on what I can do to troubleshoot?
    Thanks,
    Brad

    I'm trying to get this issue figured out. Can you
    tell me what you mean when you ask me to log in
    directly as the same user using ODBC and query
    ALL_TABLES - how would I do that?Using whatever Oracle database account you use in Crystal, log in to the database using SQL*Plus (or your favorite GUI like SQL Developer) and run a query like
    SELECT owner, table_name
      FROM all_tablesDoes that query show all the tables you expect, or are you missing some?
    Also, you mention a parameter in the ODBC API that
    controls which schemas are returned - is there any
    way to see that value?An ODBC trace might show the value, I don't recall if the actual value is written out in the trace. Different front-end tools often have a place that allows you to filter out certain schemas, which is generally done by passing in a parameter to this ODBC API call. I don't know enough about your tools, though, to know where this might be.
    Are there any other ODBC drivers I could try?There are plenty of third party ODBC drivers out there, but I would tend to be suprised if the ODBC driver was at fault here. You could also try patching the ODBC driver and/or Oracle client to the most recent patchsets.

  • Connecting to Lotus Notes Mail database

    I have Coldfusion 8.  I am trying to connect to our Lotus Notes Mail database.  I've installed the Lotus NotesSQL driver 8.0.  I've created a DSN in the ODBC Data Source Administrator.  When I try to set the datasource in Coldfusion Administrator using "ODBC Socket" as the driver type, I get the following error:
    Connection verification failed for data source: NotesAddress
    java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket]internal error: Driver's SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_DBC failed
    The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket]internal error: Driver's SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_DBC failed
    Any help I can get on this would be much appreciated!

    So I've got a slighty different problem, but maybe we
    can help each other.
    We're on Coldfusion 9 but I get the connection working fine the admin but as soon as the report writer comes into play
    it's broke.
    Save the password on the ODBC connection setting as well as in the coldfusion adim console and remember
    that the user names aren't straight forward "UserName/Server/Company" as  a exmaple!
    Also you need to the the .id files and Notes installed on the machine.
    Best way to test your ODBC connection before using it in Coldfusion is use excel to try and get the data from
    the ODBC connection first. Once you've achieved that then setup the coldfusion connection.
    Once you've achieved that see if you can help me I can connect and the ODBC and everything is OK but it
    break as soon as we try and create a report with some Driver not capable problem I also need help. Hope
    I've managed to help you.

  • Trouble accessing Lotus Notes DB Via ODBC NotesSQL 8 driver.

    Hello,
    I am using Crystal Reports version XI and am trying to access lotus notes database via an ODBC connection. My reports have been running sucessfully but we recently upgraded to Lotus Notes 8.  I was receiving error messages stating that the ODBC driver was not compatible so I upgraded to Lotus Notes 8 SQL driver.  Now I am receiving the following errors.
    Crystal Reports
    Database Connector Error: 'IM005:[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_DBC failed'
    Crystal Reports
    Logon failed.
    Details: 01000:[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The driver doesn't support the version of ODBC behavior that the application requested (see SQLSetEnvAttr).
    I am now using NotesSQL 8 and Lotus Notes 8, is there something that I need for crystal to recognize them.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks, Stacy

    Hi Stacy,
    I would appear Lotus changed the way their ODBC driver works from version 6. According to our [platforms |https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e09198a1-911e-2b10-179f-ce8eed51aed0] for CR XI we only support Lotus Notes 6.
    We can't fix this now but you may want to ask Lotus if they know of any work arounds or updates to make it backward compatable.
    You may want to try donwloading CR XI R2 SP4 and use your XI keycode to see if that works.
    Thank you

    It's not a CLASSPATH problem.
    Did you create an ODBC DSN named test?
    You have two choices:
    (1) Create an ODBC DSN named test, OR
    (2) Rewrite your database URL as:
    String url = "jdbc:odbc:DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=c:\\foo\\bar\\baz.mdb";
    Make the DBQ equal to the path to your Access database and it'll work.
    I prefer the second idiom, because it doesn't require setting up a DSN. - MOD
    Yes, I have created a DSN with the name 'test'.
    The second option "jdbc:odbc:DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=c:\\foo\\bar\\baz.mdb" -> is the part 'baz.mdb' the name of the my database. So it will be: "jdbc:odbc:DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=c:\\foo\\bar\\test.mdb";
    But what is the biggest different between those two? What is the advantage and the disadvantage?

  • Not seeing all DB tables in Crystal using ODBC connection

    I have an ODBC connection to an oracle database.  I can connect to the database and see all the tables through tools such as TOAD, SQL developer, SQLPlus, etc.  However, in Crystal, i only see schema tables and not the tables I want.  I am using the same connection, username, and password.  If I run a report that was created in a different environment to the correct tables, I receive the error: ORA00942: table or view does not exist.
    Oracle 10g
    Crystal 12.0.0.683
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Diana Woronuk

    Hi Diana,
    Go to File | Options and open the Database tab. 
    Make sure Tables and Views are checked.  You may want to include Stored Procedures too. 
    Save the changes and restart Crystal. 
    You should see your tables now.  If you have more than 200 objects in your database, you may need to use the Table Name Like option to filter out some of the tables. 
    Good luck,
    Brian

  • ODBC connection to Oracle 7 will not reset

    We are using Oracle JDBC drivers for all but one of our
    datasources which is an old Oracle 7 database. The ODBC connection
    to this database will not reset when the database is bounced or the
    database server is rebooted. We have to restart the ODBC service to
    reset the connection. Is there another way to do this automatically
    or perhaps another driver out there we can use? We are running
    ColdFusion MX 6.1 Enterprise.

    Wow, I can't believe that you are still using Oracle 7. In
    fact, unless you are on 7.3.4 you aren’t even Y2K compliant.
    Of course, I'm not even sure if there is an upgrade path from 7.x
    to 10g, but I would consider migrating off of 7 to anything else.
    Otherwise, you are going to have more and more compatibility
    problems. In fact, you can no longer even get ODBC drivers from
    Oracle for versions older than 9i.
    Good luck.

  • Lotus Notes connectivity in WebDynpro for Java

    Hi,
    in case we want to implement some content stored in an Lotus Notes database. For example a simple corporate phonelist. What are our options to get these data represented in our portal if we dont want to use the standard "Notes DB web-enabled" output.
    Is it possible to develope for example a webDynpo for Java application which connects via JCo(??) to Notes, greps the data there and interacts with it so that we can use the standard portal UI-Elements?
    Do you know where to find some specified information for that issue?
    Thanks and best regards
    Markus Armbruster

    Hello Markus,
    I already tested several options for connecting Web Dynpro to Lotus Notes/Domino. You may use Java technology (IIOP) or web technology (simple HTTP/XML or HTTP/SOAP).
    in order to use IIOP, simple include NSCO.jar in the lib path of your SAP J2EE engine instances. Then you are able to use the classes stubs for NotesFactory(), NotesSession() etc. within WD.
    if you use HTTP then connect using web services. The data is then transferred e.g. via XML or DXL.
    I have some samples running in case you need more information I can send you the source.

  • ODBC Connection Pooling not working with 10g On Windows 2003

    I have a bog standard Windows 2003 machine and installed Oracle 10g on it. It seems that the ODBC Connection pooling is not working.
    I am using ASP and every time I try and render a simple page it is taking 4-5 seconds which is the time necessaru to create a database connection. ( Machine is 2.8 Ghz Xeon with 2 gigs of Ram)
    The following VB Code can be used to test that the pooling is not working. It creates 2 connections to the database. On oracle 10g on windows 2003, it takes 5 seconds to create the first connection, and another 5 seconds to create the second connection.
    When you run the same program on windows 2000 and oracle 9, the first connection take 3 seconds, and the second 0.05 seconds. ( The shorter time being due to the connection pooling)
    time1=timer()
    set conn=createobject("adodb.connection")
    Conn.Open "dsn=oracleDSN;uid=yourusername;pwd=yourpassword"
    time2=timer()
    msgbox time2-time1
    conn.close
    set conn=nothing
    time1=timer()
    set conn=createobject("adodb.connection")
    Conn.Open "dsn=oracleDSN;uid=yourusername;pwd=yourpassword"
    time2=timer()
    msgbox time2-time1
    conn.close

    ODBC Connection Pooling is controlled by the ODBC Driver Manager and defaults to off for every driver on every platform. Have you enabled connection pooling for your driver in the ODBC Data Source Administrator?

  • Connection Lotus Notes and ERP 2005

    Hello experts!
    I have some simple questions:
    - What is the procedure to connect Lotus Notes and ERP 2005 (Do we need RFC-connects or RFC/BAPI?)
    - Has the SAP Business connector still any supports?

    Hi,
    There are couple Lotus integration products available from IBM (both pretty old but still will do the job):
    <a href="http://www.thespot4sap.com/Articles/SAP_LN_Lotus_Notes_Introduction.asp">Pretty detailed blog</a>
    <a href="http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/documentation/sapconnector/">IBM Documentation</a>
    <a href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/library/lei-sap/">IBM Documentation on LEI</a>
    They use RFC connectivity - check with IBM on support, from SAP perspective both should work.
    SAP Business connector is being replaced with PI, but either are nothing to do with Lotus connectivity I think
