Mapping deploy for Non-Oracle Data Source hangs

Hi All,
I am trying to deploy mapping for Non-Oracle Data Source and it hangs.
Oracle version is 10.2.0.3 and OWB version is 10.2.0.1.3.1
It would be really appreciated if you can help.
Thanks!
PS.

That helpes quite a bit. I still can't get the app to retrieve data, but I am getting a more useful message in the log:
[Error in allocating a connection. Cause: Connection could not be allocated because: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied]
As you suggested, I removed the <default-resource-principal> stuff from sun-web.xml and modified it to match your example. Additionally, I changed the <res-ref-name> in web.xml from "jdbc/jdbc-simple" to "jdbc/oracle-dev".
The Connection Pool "Ping" from the Admin Console is successful with the user and password I have set in the parameters. (it fails if I change them, so I am pretty sure that is set up correctly) Is there another place I should check for user/pass information? Do I need to do anything to the samples/database.properties file?
By the way, this is the 4th quarter 2004 release of app server. Would it be beneficial to move to the Q1 2005 beta?
Many thanks for your help so far...

  • Can SQL*Plus connect via ODBC to NON-Oracle data source?????

    I am struggling to understand something. I downloaded Oracle instance client, SQL*Plus and ODBC components with the hopes of being able to connect via SQL*Plus to a non-Oracle/ODBC compliant database.
    Is this possible? Or is SQL*Plus ability to connect via ODBC only to an Oracle data source??
    Thanks...

    sqlplus only connects to oracle. you can use the odbc driver from instant client to allow other applications to access oracle via odbc (e.g. excel). if you need to connect to non-oracle odbc database (ms-access, foxpro, etc.) you need odbc driver for those sources.
    you can use sqldeveloper to connect to oracle and non-oracle databases. check otn product info for sqldeveloper for more details.

  • Emulated or non emulated data source ?

    Hi All,
    We are in the process of moving our application code from JDBC to Toplink. As we are in this process , the application code is a mixture of Toplink and JDBC calls (some individual method also mixture ). We are using External Transaction Controller for Toplink. Now I am just wondering if Emulated data source is good enough or should I go for Non-emulated data source for this situation.Can some one guide me on this. We have some connection pooling issues like connections reached max and Time Out exception..etc
    Giri.

    More to add to the above issue:
    I have a method which executes some JDBC and toplink calls in a loop . Toplink calls are releasing connections to the pools but JDBC call are not releasing connections to the pool.Both connections use the same data source.
    Giri.

  • Can you use SQL Developer against non Oracle data bases?

    If so, then how do you define the connection for non Oracle data bases?

    Look, SQL Developer has got to be a 'gateway' into Oracle DBs from other databases. JDBC allows simple introspection and execution of SQL commands. So the 'explain' button won't be available, or some of the DDL stuff, big deal! Let them get a taste of what they are missing by not having an Oracle database.
    If we can get non-Oracle developers (especially MS SQL Server) to use SQL Developer it will expose them to the superiority of the Oracle DB server.
    If they have heterogenous services installed they are already an Oracle customer -- we have little additional DB server sale opportunity there. SQL Developer is a really sweet tool and it could be a real draw into the DB server sales.
    SQL Developer must be easily usable by non-Oracle customers in order to help us sell the DB server to them!

  • Data Mapping Templates for NON-RTA Systems

    Hi all,
    I'm designing n extractor for my NON-SAP System.
    I've been reading the Appendix B: Data Mapping Templates for Non-RTA Systems from Configuration Guide - SAP GRC AC 5.3.
    I have a couple of questions regarding the size of two fields in table ACTION PERMISSION OBJECTS TEMPLATE
    Is correct the size that the documents says about fields:
    ACTION (document says it's 20 but in other tables is 50)
    PERMISSION (document says it's 10 but in other tables is 100
    ACTVT (document says it's 10but in other tables is 50)
    Thank you in advanced.

    Hi Luis,
    Yeah i will follow the recomendations but i'm updating some files to RAR and i've seen another kind of inconsistency such as in the table User File Template. Recomendation says that both FNAME field and LNAME field are 50 size each one but in my case i can update a FNAME 51 size and a LNAME 49, i mean between FNAME and LNAME it's 100 size.
    Cheers.

  • Oracle Data Source for Essbase

    Hi, Good Morning to ALL,
    I have a doubt using Oracle Data Source with Essbase. When we use Oracle as the Data Source to load the data into Essbase cubes which of the following options would be better?
    1. Is it better to create a single table or view, when the data is in multiple tables and then load into essbase?
    OR
    2. Is it better to join the tables by entering the SELECT statement in the Administration Services Console during the data load?
    Which of these methods can be processed faster?
    Please Advice.......
    Thanks for the help in Advance...........

    There are a couple of theories for loading Essbase from relational sources.
    To be optimal there are techniques that you can create in the relational database to make joining more efficient.
    Single View/Table
    Everything you need in one large view. You can create one of these every period if you are performing incremental loads.
    Star Schema
    One large fact table all dimensions are represented with single Id foreign keys
    One dimension table per dimension whose primary keys are connected to the fact
    Snow-flake Schema
    One large fact table all dimensions are represented with single Id foreign keys
    Mutiple dimension tables per dimension whose primary keys are foreign keys in each connecting table then to the fact
    These are the "text book" options; many other hybrid ways have been developed in recent years.
    I would recommend using EIS against any relational source, as it will guide you through the OLAP loading process.

  • CrystalReports error in XI 3.1 with Oracle Data Source

    Having trouble running Crystal Reports with Oracle data source off XI 3.1 SP3. Reports hang through CMC or InfoView. Have no trouble on identical environment (presumably) with the same reports. Basically this happened after migration.
    Report can be run on designer on the server box (suggesting the connection is good) however once uploaded to CMS, it hangs with error. This is not about an specific report only reports with Oracle Data source (Oracle client already installed and connection established)
    Any comments appreciated.

    Thank you for your reply.
    Seems like a re-boot resolved the problem.

  • How to define data-sources-alias.xml to use Oracle data source

    Hi,
    I created Oracle jdbc Data Source named "MYDS" in Visual Admin.  I added the alias = MYDS_ALIAS.  I set the Initial Connection to 2.  On the Monitor tab, I see a green line running across the screen.  The datasource MYDS is connected to the Oracle.
    Now, I would like to define "data-sources-alias.xml" to use MYDS.
    When creating data-source-aliases.xml it creates the alias by default on ${com.sap.datasource.default} which is the default DB.
    I followed the link --> How to point data-source-aliases.xml to another Datasource
    and my data-sources-alias.xml is now:
    <data-source-aliases>
         <aliases>
              <data-source-name>$</data-source-name>
              <alias>BRANCH50DS</alias>
         </aliases>
    </data-source-aliases>
    The "EAR generatation has finished successfully", but when "Deploy to J2EE Engine", I got the error below:

    Hi Sonal,
    To use PowerPivot for SharePoint on SharePoint 2013, it is required to install PowerPivot for SharePoint with the Slipstream version of SQL Server 2012 SP1. If you install SQL Server 2012 and then use the upgrade version of SQL Server 2012 SP1 to upgrade,
    the environment will not support SharePoint 2013.
    I would suggest you refer to the following articles:
    Install SQL Server BI Features with SharePoint 2013 (SQL Server 2012 SP1):

  • Performance issue with Oracle data source

    Hi all,
    I've a rather strange problem that I'm stuck on need some assistance on.
    I have a rules file which drags data in via an SQL data source thats an Oracle server. If I cut/paste the 3 sections of "select" "from" and "where" into SQL-Developer and run the query, it takes less than 1 second to complete. When I run the "load data" with this rule file or even use the "Retrieve" with the rules file edit, it takes up to an hour to complete/retrieve the data.
    The table in question being used has millions of rows and I'm using one of the indexed fields to retrieve the data. It's as if the Essbase/Rule file is ognoring the index, or I have a config issue with the ODBC settings on the server that is causing the problem.
    ODBC.INI file entry for the Oracle server as follows (changed any sensitive info to xxx or 999).

    One other thing that I've seen is that if your Oracle data source and Essbase server are in different geographic locations, you can get some delay when it retrieves data over the WAN. I guess there is some handshaking going on when passing the data from Oracle to Essbase (either by record or groups of records) that is slowed WAY down over the WAN.
    Our solution to this was remove teh query out of the load rule, run it via SQL+ on a command line at the geographic location where the Oracle database is, then ftp the resulting file to where the Essbase server is.
    With upwards of 6 million records being retrieved, it took around 4 hours in the load rule, but running the query via command line took 10 minutes, then the ftp took less than 5.

  • Help with Creating a Oracle Data Source

    Hello:
    I am trying to create a Oracle Data source.
    I was successful in creating a JDBC Conection Pool.
    But I am stumped creating a new datasource that uses the Oracle Connection Pool.
    It asks for a JNDI Name and I have no clue what I should enter in this box.
    Can somebody help me?
    Thanks.
    venki

    Enter whatever name suits you. This is the name you will use when looking up your datasource in the JNDI tree, i.e.
    Context ctx = new InitialContext();
    DataSource oracleDS = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("myJNDIName");
