MS SQL DB Server Client for AIX

Hi,
I am trying to setup DB connect for our BW system. However just like many others on SDN I am having trouble with MS SQL Client for AIX (Unix)
Here is the info:
SAP System:
SAP BW 3.5 SAPKW35013
OS: AIX
SAP Basis: 640 SP 13
DB: ORACLE 9.2.0.6.0
Source DB
MS SQL Server 2000: SP 4: ver. 8.00.2039
OS: MS Server 2003
I have seen SAP installations running on WinNT using DB Connect for MS SQL but is there "NO WAY" to do it for SAP AIX Customers?
I am trying to look into this functionality called Data Junction to pull data into Unix and would appreciate help from people who has used it before?
Thanks

Hi,
I'm still a little bit puzzled, what you are going to achieve. But if a MS SQLServer datasource (DS) in NW might help you, here it goes:
1. Outlook: i will describe a DS setup to a SQL Sever 2000, using resources (drivers), already shipped with NW
2. Steps
2a. Define the driver library as follow
- open visual admin and navigate in the cluster tree to JDBC Service, using the path "Server" / "Services" / "JDBC Connector"
- In "Runtime" tab select in "Deployed Libraries" the library "com.sap.datadirect" and click in the toolbar the "<-" button, these will define "com.sap.datadirect" as driver library
2b. Define a DS as follow
- again in "Runtime" tab select "Data Sources" node and click in the toolbar the "new document" button to initiate DS creation
- in the "Main" tab fill properties as follow
. Name=MY_SQLSERVER_DS
. JDBC Version=1.x
. Driver Class=com.sap.portals.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
. Database URL=jdbc:sap:sqlserver://<change-2-your-db-server-host>:1433;MaxPooledStatements=150;SelectMethod=cursor
. User=<change-2-your-db-login-user>
. Password=<change-2-your-password>
- in the "Additional" tab keep the defaults and change certain properties as follow
. Expiration=check
. Connection lifetime=600
. Cleanup Thread=300
. SQL Engine=Vendor SQL
- save and check in tab "Monitoring", if the initial connection shows a green, running thread
Hope this helps a bit

When Instant Client for AIX 5L 32 and HP-UX PA-RISC 32 are released?

Does anyone know when Instant Client for AIX 5L 32 might be release?
and also, Instant Client for HP-UX PA-RISC 32 ?

There isn't much to check. This is the Instant Client and it was downloaded specifically for the 32-bit PA-RISC platform. The "documentation" simply says I should set the "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" environment variable to include the directory where I unzipped the files. It is obviously looking at the libraries when I load my application, otherwise I would get a different type of error message along the lines of "missing Oracle client". FYI, This is not one of the newer 8x00 chips which support 64-bit addressing, but that is the point of the 32-bit option. I assumed this was compiled for my platform (which more specifically is an HP PA-RISC 7300LC 160MHz processor with 768MB RAM). I know this isn't the most modern box, but I would like to have a simple lab environment for my ERP application and save the hassle and additional expense of aquiring a 64-bit compatible workstation. I figure what I have works well with my application, and there is no 9i 32-bit client...so why not try the 10g Instant Client which should be backwards compatible with my database. BTW, the database is not running on this box, it's on a remote server which does support 64-bit and happens to be running Oracle 9.2.0.4.

Which oracle client for aix 6 xi31 sp3?

I need oracle client 10.2 for a installation of xi31 sp3 on aix 6 with an oracle 11g db in order for ldap to work properly.
My apologies for my lack of DB (oracle) experience, however, can someone please tell me which file I need for this and the associated link to download it?

Hi,
   Please explain in more details what do you mean "which files"?
   If you mean getting the physical files, then :
      To download BOE XI 3.1 with SP3, you need to log onto the SAP Support Portal (aka: Service Market Place) - http://service.sap.com/
      The Oracle D/B and the Oracle client will need to come from Oracle website. You will need to check with Oracle to see how you can get your hands on the files.
      As for AIX 6.1, I assumed that should already been setup since you quoted that in your last note.

ODBC Drivers for SQL Server 2005 on AIX for OWB connect

Hi All -
I have a problem whereby I am trying to connect OWB with SQL Server 2005. The problem statement follows: -
Infrastructure: -
OWB Server installed on AIX
Oracle Installed on AIX
SQL Server 2005 source on Windows
OWB Client on windows XP
My problem is: -
I am trying to connect OWB with SQL Server 2005 for which I have to create heterogenous source entry in Oracle home. But AIX box does not have any ODBC drivers installed and hence I can not configure a DSN on the same. Can any one suggest where can I get these drivers and their installation steps.
Thanks in advance!

Possible for AIR app connecting to SQL 2005 server

Is it possible using Flex AIR to connection to SQL 2005
server and fetch data ?
If YES, whats step / process we need to follow please.
We have the DB in sql 2005 and we want to develop desktop
client and fetch the records from DB to AIR app.

You can send the HTTPService request to whatever back end
technology you are
currently using to access it. For example, if you are using
ASP.net, you
would still use ASP.net, but you would send back something
that Flex
understands, such as XML, instead of the HTML that the
browser client
understands.

Instant client 10.2.0.3 used with ms sql linked server doesn't work

Hi,
instant client version 10.2.0.3 doesn't work as microsoft sql linked server (both 2000, 2005) while 10.2.0.1 does. (tested by overwriting files in instant client directory - basic instalation, then restart mssql services) - the message is, that the oracle client is not installed when running sql (registration of linked server is ok).
Is it a known issue or is there any workaround?
(Windows XP, 2003, MS SQL 2005, MS SQL 2000, Oracle 9.2.0.6)
Thanks,
Pavel

I installed oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.3-1.i386.rpm on a redhat box to
connect oracle database server 9.2.0.8.0 install on win box.Is there any other Oracle software installed on the RedHat machine?
In which directory did you install Instant Client?
Can you login with sqlplus?
On the database server, I defined parameters like this :
NLS_DATE_FORMAT='YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'
NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS='. 'This will have no effect on your problem - these are client environment variables.
Before starting apache (lampp) I set Oracle environement like this :
export NLS_DATE_FORMAT='YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'
export NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS='. '
My application worked very fine.
BUT a few days ago (1 week), in my application, the date format display wrong,
I have this format : DD/MON/YYYY even with
export NLS_DATE_FORMAT='YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'
before starting apache.The ancient question: Do you remember what you changed before it stopped working?
So I stop my apache and try set Oracle environment like this :
export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.3/clientAs has been said, do away with that.
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATHYou don't need that either.
Except is might be nice to have the directory that contains sqlplus in PATH.
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATHNow that surprises me.
Normally, instant client shared libraries are not installed in a subdirectory.
Does this "lib" directory exist?
You should add the directory containing the *.so files to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
When I restart apache and test my application, an error php message occurs :
Ocisessionbegin error while trying TO retrieve text FOR error ora-12705
I check my oracle_home, I don't think I make a mistake?It seems that Oracle cannot find the instant client shared library libociei.so.
This library must be found in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
In this context it would be interesting to know (as I asked above) if any other Oracle products are installed on this machine.
Yours,
Laurenz Albe

SQL*Net Client for Oracle 8i/9i ?

Hi..All,
Where do I download just the SQL*NET client for ORacle 8i/9i. ?
Regards

I have the same question: is there a stand-alone
installer for SQL*Net?No.
>
I need this for a Windows 2003 Server x64 platform.
The link provided just goes to the client, which is
far too large to transfer over my VPN connection to
a remote host.The alternative is the 'instant client'. You MIGHT be able to use that.

How do I get SQL*Net Client for Win95?

Specifically, which software package comes with the SQL*Net Client for Windows 95?

Any of the products that requires a client side installation will include it. Things like the server will also normally include a client side instalation kit. The JDBC drivers do not come bundled with a client (not when downloaded from technet at any rate).

How to install directory server/client on Solaris 9 for dummys

Hi,
after reading hunderts of pages, after asking questions in forums without getting the right answers, i was able to install the directory server in our company.
Here is the summary i made for myself. Perhaps it helps others to avoid the same problems.
Set up a Directory Server (sun one ds 5.1)
Present situation:
-Nisplus is installed
-Solaris OS 9 sparc 64bit is installed
-DS5 Software is normally already installed in Solaris 9. Check off with 'pkginfo | grep IPLT*'
-Otherwise install from Solaris OS 9 Disc1 with 'pkgadd -d IPLTxxxx .'
-Software setup with '/usr/sbin/directoryserver setup'
     Install admin- and directory server.
     For Directory Server use port 389 (necessary for later use of SSL)
     For Admin Server use any empty port > 1024
     Run directoryserver as root (necessary for using port 389 and for -starting servers from console)
     Use default Directory Manager DN cn=Directory manager
     Use your domain as DIT (default information tree) example: dc=example, dc=com
     As second DIT, setup installs o=NetscapeRoot. Don't change this DIT at all!!!!!
The server stores all the default schemas there which are absolutely important for the directoy
server. Don't change anything there !
-Configure software with 'idsconfig'
     Preferred - and default server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (ip_adds of your directory server)
     Use default search scope one
     Use credential's Proxy
     Use authentication Simple (you may change this later if needed)
     All the rest should remain on default settings
     You will be asked for a proxy passwort
-Start the directoryserver console with '/usr/sbin/directoryserver startconsole'
-If it's not yet running, start the directory server from console or with command 'directoryserver -s instance_name start'
-If it's not yet running, start the admin server from console or with command 'directoyserver start-admin'
-On directoryserver's gui at configuraton/password set password encryption to 'unix crypt algorithm (CRYPT)'
Import Data
-Get Data from Nisplus with
     'niscat passwd.org_dir passwd.ldap'
     'niscat hosts.org_dir hosts.ldap'
     'niscat groups.org_dir groups.ldap'
     etc
-adjust the files. (try it out with one entry of a file only. You may delete this entry with the gui very easy if it's not successfull.
-hosts.ldap must look like
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx machine1
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx machine2
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx machine3
     First value is the ip-address, second one is the hostname.
     If you have more than one hostname per machine, use a second line (don't write 2 names behind the ip-address like you did in nisplus!!!)
Change content of files into ldif format
-perl migrate_hosts.pl hosts.ldap hosts.ldif
-perl migrate passwd.pl passwd.ldap passwd.ldif
-You may download the above perl-Files from http://www.padl.com
Change the converted passwd.ldif File as follows:
-before change:
dn: uid=mario,ou=People,dc=krinfo,dc=ch
uid: mario
cn: mario
objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: top
userPassword: {crypt}6O9m3uK./T/rM
loginShell: /bin/bash
uidNumber: 1020
gidNumber: 14
homeDirectory: /home/mario
-after change:
dn: uid=mario,ou=People,dc=krinfo,dc=ch
uid: mario
cn: mario
objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: shadowAccount <--- this line must be inserted
objectClass: top
userPassword: {crypt}6O9m3uK./T/rM
loginShell: /bin/bash
uidNumber: 1020
gidNumber: 14
homeDirectory: /home/mario
Insert the line for every entry in the passwd.ldif file
You may now import all these xxxx.ldif files into the directory server with
-ldapadd -h name_of_directoryserver -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w password -f XXXXX.ldif
You may use this commands later to import further data.
-Initialise a client
'ldapclient -a proxyDN=cn=proxyagent,ou=profile,dc=example,dc=com init xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'
The xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx at the end is the ip address of the directory server
-This will make a client with data taken from the default profile from the directory server. This profile has been produced with the earlier command idsconfig and can be changed if needed.
-The System will ask you for the proxy password (given the first time in idsconfig dialog)
-You may now look at the produces files
in '/var/ldap/ldap_client_file' for the client settings
in '/var/ldap/ldap_client_cred' for the proxy settings
'ldapclient list' shows the settings of the client
With 'ldaplist -h' you may see all the existing entries with their objects.
Activate the client
-If it's not yet running, start '/usr/lib/ldap/ldap_cachemgr'
-All nisplus daemons/programs have been stopped by ldapclient command. If not, stop them manually.
-/etc/nsswitch.conf should have been copied from /etc/nsswitch.ldap from ldapclient too.
-If not, do it manually.
example
passwd: files ldap
group: files ldap
hosts ldap dns files
etc
I recommend to change the file '/etc/nsswitch.ldap' because the system oftens copies nsswitch.ldap to nsswitch.conf and if nsswitch.ldap is adapted, you must now change it again and again.
you may now check whether ldap is working fine with the following requests:
getent passwd username
getent hosts hostname
getent groups
getent network
These commands should give you the requested answer.
Be sure to clean:
/etc/hosts      inside is only your workstation and the directory server
/etc/passwd     only default and local entries
/etc/groups only default and local entries
etc
try a telnet to your own machine to check, whether password and automount of your home_dirctory works fine.
I failed here. All was working fine, but the password exchange did not because of credential/authentication problems.
Best regards and good luck
Mario

Directory Server 5.1 does not support Kerberos authentication.
Beside this there are some extensions in MS kerberos authentication that makes it almost impossible to have a MS client authenticate with something else than AD.

SharePoint 2013 SQL Server Edition for BI Features - must be on SharePoint SQL Server?

I need to install SQL Server 2012 for a new SharePoint 2013 installation.
Let's say I want to use the BI features of SharePoint 2013 like PowerView.
I already have a separate SQL Server running SQL Server 2012 BI Edition that is used as the database server for our data warehouse and some apps. But this SQL Server will not be used to house the SharePoint 2013 databases.
Do I need to install SQL Server 2013 BI Edition on the SharePoint 2013 SQL Server (where the SharePoint 2013 databases will be housed) or can I used SQL Server 2013 Standard Edition on that server and utilize the BI Edition on the data warehouse server to
use the BI features of SharePoint?

Yes, BI or Enterprise must be installed on the SharePoint server in order to integrate SSRS. PowerPivot can be on a separate server with just a download (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35577) for certain components residing on
the SharePoint server. This will give you PowerView, as well.

Is Distributed Transaction Coordinator services of the application role are required by SQL Server 2012 for clustering and support of SharePoint 2013.

All I want to know is if Distributed Transaction Coordinator services of the application role are required by SQL Server 2012 for clustering and support of SharePoint 2013.
I have been planning and deploying my companies first Windows Server 2012/SQL Server 2012 Always On cluster and Always On Availability Groups Multi-Subnet cluster and instances for SharePoint 2013, and I will be brutally honest, the documentation on either
the MSDN and TechNet leave alot to be desired. Continually finding links in the documentation will take me from a Windows 2012 reference to a page talking about Windows Server 2008 or R2, The differences of which there are so many when it comes to configurations,
settings, roles, services when working with SQL Server 2012. I have been confused, frustrated, screaming mad, with all the misdirection in this documentation. The documentation takes me windows 2008 R2 which is different than 2012!
Tired and trying to pick myself up off the floor!

In general, DTC is not required for SQL 2012. But, since you are asking specifically about SharePoint, it would be better to ask in a SharePoint forum. They would be more likely to know those situations where FTC might be needed by SharePoint.

O.S. / Hard Drive Size for NIO Server/Client's load testing...

Hi All
I am currently load testing a NIO Server/Client's to see what would be the maximum number of connections that could reached, using the following PC: P4, 3GHz, 1GB RAM, Windows XP, SP2, 110 GB Hard Drive.
However, I would like to test the Server/Client performance on different OS's:
Which would be the best possible option from the following:
1. Partition my current drive, (using e.g. Partition Magic), to e.g.
- Win XP: 90 GB
- Win Server 2000: 10 GB
- Linux: 5 GB
- Shared/Data: 5 GB
2. Install a separate Hard drive with the different hard drives
3. Use a disk caddie, to swap in/out test hard drives.
4. Any thing else?
- Would the Operating System's hard drive size affect the Server/Client's performance, e.g. affecting the number of connections, number of File Handles, the virtual memory, etc.?
Many Thanks,
Matt

You can use a partition on the same HDD or use a second HDD, disk caddie well if its a direct IDE or SCSI. If its usb no it will be too slow, may be if you have a fire-wire but I still don't recommend it.
Be careful if you don't have any experience installing Linux you may do multiple partitions on you disk without knowing, because Linux ext partitions are not visible to windows.
Recommended disk size for fedora is 10 GB. This is the amount of data that will be created on you HDD when you do a full installation.

Does Microsoft have a SQL Server driver for Node.js

I want to create a Mobile Backend with Node.js, and I was wondering whether Microsoft provided a SQL Server driver for Node.js. If not, what driver module should I use?

Hey James,
Have you see this

or this
https://www.npmjs.com/package/mssql ?
Sounds like this is what you're looking for.
