Missing ODBC connections after 11.1.1.6.2 patches

Hi:
After upgrading the Administration tool to 11.1.1.6.2, I start the Admin tool, attempt to open the repository on-line, but all the ODBC connections are missing.
Did I miss a step? Can anyone suggest a fix?
Thank you.

I found my issue. After installing, I need to change the environment variables found in bi_init.bat.

I need set the password of odbc connection after of the design

Hi,
I need connect to oracle database, but I don't know the password of the connection, for obtain the password I must call a dll and this library returns the password for this data base.
After I need specify the password in the string connection.
How can I modify the string connection with javascript(I can't use the wizard because is not dinamic)?
And is it possible call a dll library from adobe designer?
Thanks a lot!

If you want some pl/sql code that can be used in a query as it were a table you may be interested in table functions:
SQL> create or replace type
2 t_emp is object (
3 name            varchar2(30),
4 hire_date date,
5 salary       number);
6 /
Tipo creato.
SQL> create or replace type
2 t_emptab is table of t_emp;
3 /
Tipo creato.
SQL> create or replace function tab_fun(p_dept in number)
2 return t_emptab is
3 e t_emptab;
4 begin

6      bulk collect into e

How do I disconnect a certain kind of connection after 9PM each night?

We have a user who sometimes connects to our Sql Server 2008 database using an ODBC connection from MS Access. Every now and then if he leaves that connection open overnight it creates problem with overnight processes. (I think it has to do with Access and
record locking.) His other connections do not create any problems like this however.
I would like to disconnect just his MS Access ODBC connections after 9PM each night. Is that possible? I guess the next best solution would be to disconnect
ALL of his connections at 9PM but I'd like to avoid this as he sometimes works very late and we want him to have access to the system.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi,
I would not Kill anything because it might not always result in favorable output.
Can you run the script to disable login for time being and then run script again to enable it. Its the same login which uses ODBC connection you are referring.
I was also thinking about Logon trigger which would be enabled for only time you require it. Perhaps Logon trigger would be correct one

Automatic jdbc odbc connection

we have an application that uses an access database. normally we have to go to control panel, go to the DataSources and manually setup the odbc connection. after this, our program connects to the database and works as planned. what we want to do is to automatically connect the database, like having an executable file that automatically installs a software. is there any way that would connect the database to the computer without manually performing all those tasks?

Use some other jdbc driver than jdbc-odbc driver. to find the driver list visit

ODBC connections fails after going from Office 2003 to 2010 on some but not all PCs

ODBC connections fails after going from Office 2003 to 2010 on some but not all PCs. Setting up the connection has been a hit and miss. Have tried both x86 and x64. Any ideas? Use ODBC from the control panel and C:\Windows\SysWOW64 same results. Using

Hello,
Please consider to configure Windows Firewall or disable it. Not only Windows Firewall but any security software.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc646023(v=sql.120).aspx
Windows Firewall is enabled by default.
Make sure you are using SQL Server Native Client to create the ODBC DSN. Not all Windows versions have it, so you may need to download and install it.
Hope this helps.

ODBC connection remains open after disconnect

Hello,
in my application I use 2 ODBC connects to 2 different ODBC drivers.
My problem:
When I close one connection (with DBDisconnect), the connection on the database remains open until I close the second one.
Is this a known behavior?
Is there a way to force the closing or to make it independant of the other connection?
Regards
Fred
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As ODBC connections are not inherently included in the CVI environment, I looked up the DBDisconnect function and it says that the DBDisconnect function disconnects the last connected ODBC database. So it is expected behavior.

Remote ODBC Connection - Citadel

Hi
I have a citadel 4 database running on a PC (PC-A). I wish to access the database from a different PC (PC-B) which has logos 4.5 installed but I am having difficulty getting the ODBC connection to work. The situation is as follows:
Using PC-A, I can access the database using ODBC but cannot access PC-A's database from PC-B using UNC nor mapped drives.
If I copy the database from PC-A to PC-B and change the ODBC data source properties on PC-B to point to the local database then I can access it.
I have no problems in browsing or creating files in the directory on PC-A that hosts the database.
The error that is being thrown up on PC-B is as attached. It would appear that the ODBC is fine as long as it's kept local and not over the network.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

"Does it happen just after you create the connection without no query execution?"
Yes, but I think technically, Access does a query just to setup the table so that is when it crashes the server.
The DSN is through a mapped network drive to the remote database path. It was not a valid MAX attached database. So It may have been this bastardized setup. Although the mapped drive had permissions, the machine did not have permissions that it would need to go through "MAX" because the machine was not a member of the domain, so automatic user authentications would be rejected.
I will try with a remote machine that is a domain member and would therefore pass all appropriate permissions using MAX to attach the data source. I will also try to recreate the crash using the domain machine.
I also had nicitdl5 hang tonight during a simple client hypertrend trace-back a few days of data. I could see where the data stopped being sent by the missing trace endpoints on the trend. After recovery on the server, I tried the exact same hypertrend trace-back and this time it was fine. Citadel still needs some stability work!!!

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.

OBIEE 11g ODBC connectivity error

Hi all,
I am getting the following error when I tried to access a simple query through Answers.
"*Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).*
*Error Details*
*Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P*
*State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS.

*SQL Issued: SELECT s_0, s_1, s_2 FROM ( SELECT 0 s_0, "BISample"."Product"."BRAND" s_1, "BISample"."Target"."REVENUE" s_2 FROM "BISample" ) djm*"
What I did was
1. Create a DSN 'orcl', 32 bit Oracle ODBC driver. Tested and worked against the Oracle database.
2. Import metadata using Local, ODBC 3.5 and DSN = orcl
3. Build a simple BMM and subject area
4. In the phyiscal layer, right click on a table, and select view data/update row count. Error with message "The connection has failed"
5. Hoping for the best, create a simple query in answer and got the above odbc driver error in results tab.
Interestingly, if I edit the connection pool and use OCI (my SID is also orcl), then everything works fine.
I'm new to OBIEE and hope someone can tell me if I have missed a step or make any mistakes!
Thanks!

Hi All,
I am able to connect SQL Server database with OBIEE 11g RPD offline and imported metadata and verified update row count/view data but when i was trying to publish the same RPD the data is not returning also "update row count/view data" is giving and error "The connection has failed."

OBIEE 11g/WLS 10.3.3/Oracle database 11g installed on RHL 5
Client tools are installed on local Vista 32 bit system.
Oracle database is working fin, where as SQL Server is giving issues.
You want me to create a ODBC connection in RHL 5 server to connect to SQL Server ? i am little bit confused here how to create !
same time i have created ODBC for oracle apps database and imported and able to view data in RPD when i am in Online mode.
When i open RPD in online mode and trying to import the data i dont have access to local machine ODBC's which is expected and if i change to "Remote Server" nothing is showing here.
Appreciate your comments on the above.
Thanks

Visio Database Wizard fails - ODBC connection to MS SQL

When I try to create an ODBC connection in Visio's 2010's Database wizard I get the error: "Cannot set the database context information. Additional error information:ODBC Error: s1009. Database cxweba does not exist."
Note that the database name is cxwebapp_bkk. I get the same error if I connect to any database on that server, and it always truncates the name in the error message (if that is a hint to the error).
Using Visio 2013, after connecting to the database: when I select the database object I get the error message: "The selected table has only one field or contains no definition information. The Database Wizard requires a minimum of one key field
and one additional data field."
I have this problem using both SQL Server driver (6.02.9200.116384 and SQL Server Native Client 11.0 (2011.1102.2100.60).
I do not have this problem connecting to a MYSQL database with either version of Visio, nor do I have this problem when I link link to the same SQL database in a drawing and link shapes in that drawing using the "Link Data to Shapes" under the
Data tab.

Hello,
What's the version of the SQL Server instance you connect to? It seems that the Database Wizard in Visio 2010 not work well with the Microsoft SQL Server ODBC driver. Did you try to use the Generic OLEDB Provider for SQL Server?
Since the issue is more related to office Visio, please post the question in the following forum. More experts there will assist you:

ODBC connectivity between Oracle 11G and MSSQL Server on Solaris 10

When we were running in 10G, I was able to successfully configure hsodbc using unixODBC and freeTDS to allow for an ODBC connection between Oracle and MSSQL Server.
A few weeks ago we upgraded to 11G and I've been struggling to get the connectivity (dg4odbc) working.
In our 10g environment unixODBC and freeTDS were compiled as 32-bit. I have recompiled them as 64-bit and switched over to an 11G listener and I am getting the following error:

Can't create ODBC connection in Windows Server 2012R2

I just finished installing the instant client & odbc connection on Windows Server 2008R2. I then attempted to perform the same installation on a new Windows Server 2012R2 instance and encountered the following issue.
After extracting the contents of the 64bit instant client & odbc files into c:\oracle\instantclient_12_1, adding this to the path statement, and adding a TNS_ADMIN environmental variable, I successfully ran odbc_install.exe from an admin cmd window. I then opened the 64bit ODBC Data Source Administrator, clicked add, selected the Oracle in instantclient_12_1, and clicked finish. As soon as I did so, I received the following error: "The setup routines for the Oracle in instantclient_12_1 ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 126: The specified module could not be found. (c:\oracle\instantclient_12_1\SQORAS32.dll)"
I uninstalled the odbc client (odbc_uninstall.exe) and attempted again with the 32bit version & 32bit odbc configuration screen. I get the exact same result with 32bit as I do with 64bit.
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Nevermind. Apparently I needed the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package for the correct DLLs

Hi,
I am running Netweaver 7 and ERP2005.
J2EE support pack is 9. The sap note that you mentioned is for NW2004 and our system is running on NW2004s.
Now I am trying to reconfigure the sld. In case if you can suggest me another solution, I will be very happy to try that out...
Thanks for your reply

Multi Value Parameter with ODBC Connection

Hi Everyone . . .
I am stuck, and have been since Monday :/ . . .
Backgroud:
I am using Report Builder 3.0 with an ODBC connection to build reports off of our Vertica DB. This part is going swimmingly, thanks to the help I recieved from this forum.
Now, some of the queries that I am using (or reports I guess) require parameters. I was attempting the @Parameter and quickly realized this was not possible with the ODBC connection. I have solved this issue by using the ? as the parameter.
Works nicely, not as clean, but serves the purpose.
Most, all of my parameters to this point have been single value parameters. Now, however, we are dabbling in allowing our report users to select multiple Users as a parameter. This is where I am stuck...
I have flipped the parameter checkbox to "Allow multiple values", I then recieved an error saying this:
Cannot add multi value query parameter 'UserName' for dataset 'RankingQuery' because it is not supported by the data extension.
Here is what I have done: I have gone to the Dataset properties for the appropriate query that the parameter is being fed into > then to the Parameters tab. In the Parameters tab instead of selecting the @UserName parameter from the drop down
I clicked the Fx buttone and inserted the UserName Parameter from there it looks like this: =Parameters!UserName.Value(0)
Now because of this last step my report runs without error, however, when I select multiple user names from the parameter drop down I only recieve data for the first person selected in that drop down.
Am I missing something? Does anyone know how to fix this? Please help!
Thanks everyone.

Hi There
Thanks for your posting. Can you please try this way? Go to your dataset properties and then go to filter tab and add filter like this
Please choose your dataset filed name from the dataset in which you would like to apply the filter for your parameter
UserName
Put operator=in
And please put value like= Parameters!UserName.Value
Please do not put Parameters!UserName.Value(0)
I hope this will resolve your problem
Many thanks

Frm-40375 and ora-306500 with ODBC connection

Hi experts,
I am getting frm-40375 , ora-306500 when clicking a button on form , the code behind the button is actually connecting to a database other than oracle using the ODBC connection and importing data in variables and than inserting in an oracle table.
The error only appears on other PCs and not on my pc , means there is no problem in the code and is working fine on my pc (importing the desired data when using my pc).
The question is what is missing on other PCs or in other words what is additional component in my PC.
Please tell when and why this ora-306500 occurs.
Hope I defined the problem correctly.
(the following is part of the code
connection_string:='user/pass123@ODBC:abcd123';
connection_id := EXEC_SQL.OPEN_CONNECTION(connection_string);
cursorID := EXEC_SQL.OPEN_CURSOR(connection_id);
Using Oracle 9i Database
and 6i Forms
Thanks in advance

ora-306500I seriously doubt this is actual error code.
AFAIK - Oracle errors have not yet reached 6 decimal places.
please use COPY & PASTE in the future

Windows 2008 64-bit SQL Server 2008 64-bit Linked Server fails - ODBC connects but has issues

Installed the 64 but Oracle 11g client and Oracle ODAC.
From SQL Server Management Studio run script : exec master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'PING OracleHostNameHere' Ping was successful
OraOLEDB.Oracle shows up in the Provider list. Run This Script:
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'OraOLEDB.Oracle', N'AllowInProcess', 1
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'OraOLEDB.Oracle', N'DynamicParameters', 1
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'Nav14', @srvproduct=N'Oracle', @provider=N'OraOLEDB.Oracle', @datasrc=N'TheOracleHostName'
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname=N'TheOracleHostName',@useself=N'False',@locallogin=NULL,@rmtuser=N'TheUser',@rmtpassword='ThePassWord'
Msg 15015, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_addlinkedsrvlogin, Line 49 The server 'TheHostName' does not exist. Use sp_helpserver to show available servers.
Did the same process on a Windows 7 32 bit Enterprise - ODBC Works after installing ODAC
ODBC worked, shows list of Oracle servers - picked the server - ODBC successful - MS Access able to use that ODBC service.
In Windows 2008 64 bit installed both Oracle 11g Client and 64 bit ODAC - ODBC opens, the list of oracle servers doesn't populate, hard code in the host name - ODBC reports Success.
Another Person Suggested: Win7 64-bit with Oracle 11g. Oddly enough, it ran differently when I opened a command prompt window as administrator and ran setup.exe with the suggested command-line options:
setup.exe -debug -printtime -printmemory -printdiskusage -logLevel finest
While it had previously been failed both by running setup from the Explorer windows as administrator and by running it from the command line as administrator - it died every time at the same point mentioned by others in this thread - just after this message appeared in the log:
Get view named [SummaryUI]
( I have tried re installing with no success)

Windows 7 Enterprise 32-Bit
Installed the version 12 for 32 bit ODAC and it worked. The key is to Install as Administrator once it is unzipped.
Was able to set up Listener then
Was able to set up ODBC using the ODAC. Connect MS Access 2010 to the Oracle views.
Then, tried to install the 64 Bit onto Windows 2008 Server.
It locked up during installation both times.
Installed ODAC without an error.
However, the ODBC setup will not provide a list of the servers in the ODBC TNS Service Name listbox for Server 2008.
In Windows 7, it populates the TNS Service Name.
The list box in Windows 2008 is empty.
Do you know what would cause that?
The .ORA file scrips look the same on Windows 2008 as they do on Windows 7 except it does not have the (server = Dedicated) argument.
Thanks.
