MS SQL Server ODBC Connection On Linux

Hi All,
I am badly stuck with configuration of MS SQL Server ODBC connection on SUSE Linux 10. I am almost tried everything I got from SAP notes but still getting ODBC Lib Data Direct drivers could not be loaded IES 10901.
ENV: SAP BO 4.0 SP7, MS SQL SRV 2008
Here is what I have tried so far:
1) Modified env.sh under /install_dir/sap_bobj/setup and added the line in bold.
":${BOBJEDIR}enterprise_xi40/linux_x64/odbc/lib:${BOBJEDIR}enterprise_xi40/$SOFTWAREPATH32/odbc/lib"
The line should look like this
LIBRARYPATH="$LIBDIR:$LIBDIR32:$WCSCOMPONENTDIR:$PLUGINDIST/auth/secEnterprise:${CRPEPATH64}:${CRPEPATH}:${MWHOME}:$PLUGINDIST/desktop/CrystalEnterprise.Report:
${BOBJEDIR}enterprise_xi40/$SOFTWAREPATH32/ras:${BOBJEDIR}mysql/lib:${BOBJEDIR}enterprise_xi40/linux_x64/odbc/lib:${BOBJEDIR}enterprise_xi40/$SOFTWAREPATH32/odbc/lib”
2) We have .odbc.ini file in the home directory of our BO user on linux. Added following DSN entry (Same DSN is created on client and odbc connection has been created on the universe using this DSN:
boeadm01:~> vi .odbc.ini
[DSN_NAME]
Driver=/opt/sapboe/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/linux_x64/odbc/lib/CRsqls24.so
Description=DataDirect 6.0 SQL Server Native Wire Protocol
HostName=SQL Server Hostname
Database=SQL DB Name
QuotedId=Yes
AnsiNPW=No
3) We then added the environment variables and LIBPATH in BO user .profile file.
boeadm01:~> vi .profile
#Sql Server Environment
ODBCINI=$HOME/.odbc.ini
export ODBCINI
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/sapboe/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/linux_x64/odbc/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
4) Did echo to check the LIBPATH
boeadm01:~> echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/opt/sapboe/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/linux_x64/odbc/lib
5) Modified sqlsrv.sbo under /install_dir/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/dataAccess/connectionServer/odbc
<Parameter Name="Use DataDirect OEM Driver" Platform="Unix">Yes</Parameter>
6) Restarted BO node.
Tried creating a new webi report and got the error mentioned above.
Please help!!!
Thanks,
Anshul

Lack of TCP keepalive parameter in Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver for Linux

Hello,
the problem in the
aforementioned driver is the lack of TCP keepalive parameter that results in hanged threads because of closed connections on the SQL Server side, but not closed
sockets on the client side. This could happen due to network-related problems.
The driver is used in mission critical 24/7 uptime application and due to hanged threads the application cannot continue it's work and it needs to be restarted.
This is observed in the latest version of the driver on RHEL 5.6.
If you need clarification please ask.
Does anybody know any workaround to this situation or a solution that I'm not aware of?
Thank you for your help,
luk.s

Find the TCP socket of the ODBC connection in your process and set the keep-alive option and keep-alive timeout on it.
You can do that by interposing socket system call.
Or use libkeepalive: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/TCP-Keepalive-HOWTO/#libkeepalive

Why "SQLDriverConnect" is looking for DNS?!

Connect to MS SQL server from OWB on Linux platform

Hi,
I want to connect to MS SQL server through OWB, on Linux platform.
I suppose I would use JDBC driver, and Heterogeneous services. Is that possible?
I did not see anything on JDBC driver for MS SQL server for Linux platform from Oracle.
Also, I was wondering is Oracle Gateway 10g for Linux a way to connect to MSSQL server?
Any leads would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ani

Hi,
This quite an actual topic for myself, so I decided to take some time to collect some information.
Start at:
* Oracle Generic Connectivity and Oracle Transparent Gateway - http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/gateways/gateways_fov.html
You can use the free Heterogenous Services component named Generic Connectivity for connecting to SqlServer over ODBC. You will need to find (or purchase?) a third-party ODBC driver for SqlServer for Linux, e.g. from www.datadirect.com. Setting this up will allow you to define a databaselink to the SqlServer. Open Gateways implements a limited set of the oracle SQL, so you will have to find out what is possible and what not.
See also:
* How To Setup HSODBC on Linux - https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showdoc?db=NOT&id=264567.1
* Generic Connectivity Available on Linux x86 with 10g - https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showdoc?db=NOT&id=261726.1
You can also use the Transparent Gateway for SqlServer (HS), which is about EURO 12000 per computer(!). This gives you a full implementation of Oracle SQL and you can access the SqlServer like it was Oracle.
You can also install Microsofts JDBC drivers into Oracle's JVM, and connect through JDBC to SqlServer. This is however not supported by Oracle, but it will work. See:
* What is required for a Java Stored Procedure to connect to a SQL Server Database? - https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=276167.1

Error updating data source from SQL Server ODBC into SQL Native Client 10.0

I am converting Crystal 8.5 reports into Crystal XI release 2. The data source was ODBC using SQL Server 2000 and pointing to a stored procedure. In the new server the data source has to be ODBC again, but it uses the SQL Native Client 10.0 Driver, because the new server is SQL Server 2008. I have copied the same old stored procedure on the new server and it works fine as a data source to a brand new Crystal XI report. But when I am opening an existing 8.5 version crystal report and updating the data source to the new location I get the error message "Some tables could not be replaced, as no match was found in the new data source".
I thought I could tackle this error by creating a temporary data source using the standard ODBC SQL Driver linked to the SQL 2008 Server instead of the SQL Native Client 10 ODBC. So I first updated the crystal data source to link to this temp ODBC using SQL Driver and it worked fine. But after that, when I try to update the data source to link to the SQL Native Client 10 ODBC, I get the same error again.
So I guess that the problem is not the new server itself, but the switch between SQL Server ODBC and SQL Native Client 10 ODBC.
Does anyone know what's going on with this SQL Native Client 10 in updating crystal report data sources?

CR XI does not support that driver. Try selecting the Native driver or upgrade to CR XI R2 for free and use SP4, 5 and 6 and then FP 6.4 or upgrade to CR 2008 and SP 3 and Fix Pack 3.3
Thank you
Don

CF8 & MSDE SQL Server DSN Connection Error SOLVED!!!

Getting the following error trying to add a CF DSN to SQL
Server?
Connection verification failed for data source:
datasource_name
java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC
Driver]Error establishing socket to host and port: localhost:1433.
Reason: Connection refused: connect
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException:
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket to
host and port: localhost:1433. Reason: Connection refused: connect
There are several steps in order to make ColdFusion 8 and
MSDE SQL 2005 Server
1. TCP/IP is not enabled by default. When looking in SQL
Server Configuration Manager it appears TCP/IP is enabled by there
is a second place that it has to be enabled.
2. The TCP/IP port is dynamically assigned each time the
service is started, if they are no errors it the port number stays
the same but if there is an error the port number is dynamically
changed the next time the service starts.
3. You have to add your dsn login username and password to
the database in order to connect without using the sa username and
password.
Steps to get DSN setup correctly.
1. Open SQL Server Configuration Manager
2. Expand the SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration Group
3. Click on Protocols for SQLEXPRESS
4. Right click TCP/IP in the right pane and select properties
5. On the protocol tab under enabled set to yes and apply.
6. Disable dynamic port assignments by following the
instruction below:
If enabled, the default instance of the Microsoft SQL Server
Database Engine listens on TCP port 1433. Named instances of the
SQL Server Database Engine and SQL Server Compact Edition are
configured for dynamic ports, which means they select an available
port when the SQL Server service is started. When connecting to a
named instance through a firewall, configure the Database Engine to
listen on a specific port, so that the appropriate port can be
opened in the firewall.
To assign a TCP/IP port number to the SQL Server Database
Engine
In SQL Server Configuration Manager, in the console pane,
expand SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration, expand Protocols for
<instance name>, and then double-click TCP/IP.
In the TCP/IP Properties dialog box, on the IP Addresses tab,
several IP addresses appear, in the format IP1, IP2, up to IPAll.
One of these are for the IP address of the loopback adapter,
127.0.0.1. Additional IP addresses appear for each IP Address on
the computer. Right-click each address, and then click Properties
to identify the IP address that you wish to configure.
If the TCP Dynamic Ports dialog box contains 0, indicating
the Database Engine is listening on dynamic ports, delete the 0.
In the IPn Properties area box, in the TCP Port box, type the
port number you wish this IP address to listen on, and then click
OK.
In the console pane, click SQL Server 2005 Services.
In the details pane, right-click SQL Server (<instance
name>) and then click restart, to stop and restart SQL
Server.
7. Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express
8. Connect to your local copy of SQL Server
9. Expand the Security group
10. Right click login. Select new login.
12. Enter the dsn login name you want.
11. Choose SQL Server Authetication.
12. Enter the dsn password you want twice.
13. Disable user must change password at next login
14. Choose default database if you like.
15. Click User Mappings in left pane.
16. Click databases you want login to have access to.
17. Click ok.
You should now be able to add your CF DSN using localhost for
server and the port number you put in earlier. Default port number
is 1433.
You can view which port number SQL is listening to at this
registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL
Server\SQLEXPRESS\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\Tcp
tcpport
You can test connectivity to the sql server by typing telnet
localhost 1433 or the port number you selected at a command prompt.
You should get a blank screen not an error.
Hope this helps, I spent 3 hours figuring it out.
David

I'm running into the same error with CFMX 7 and SQL 2000. The
port is set correctly (1433) in SQL, but it just can't communicate
successfully. SQL reside on a seperate server. Any thoughts?

Problem to connect SQL Server using dg4msql form Linux machine

Hi All,
I have oracle 11g 11.2.0.1.0 on RHEL 4 on one machine and MS SQL Server 2000 on another Windows XP machine. I have to link the oracle database with SQL Server Database. So that we can run queries on SQL Server from Oracle 11 Database.

The general DG4MSQL configuration is correct as DG4MSQL is loaded and tries to connect to the SQL Server.
Is the IP Address and the SQl Server port (HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=172.16.30.51:1433//Northwind) correct?
Can you ping it from the Oracle gateway machine?
Can you telnet to it from the gateway machine to the SQl Server: "telnet 172.16.30.51 1433"

MS SQL SERVER-APPLET CONNECTION WITHOUT ODBC

ONE QUESTION ALL
Can it be achieved? I want to setup a database on a running sql server. On the same machine both and then i want to connect an applet with the database!! Please tell me if it can be done and any source code would be helpful!!!
e-mail:[email protected]
i will look again here but if you have anything send it here on this e-mail!!!
I need some answer please!

To connect to sql server directly from an applet is a waiste of time.
Do multiple clients use your applet?
yes:
You have to write server side script on the same server that the applet came from that
does the database work according to submitted values from the applet (applet uses url
urlconnection POST or GET).
If you want the applet to connect directly you have to sign the applet or set up a policy and
tell all the clients to install the needed jdbc classes.
no:
Write an application using swing.

Oracle 11.1.0.7 x64 to SQL Server 2008 connectivity

Hi There,
I'm trying to establish connectivity between oracle database running 11.1.0.7 64bit on windows 2008 server x64 to sql server 2008 database. Both databases (oracle and SQL) are on the same machine.
I know with the older oracle versions, we used to setup hs connection between the two databases, however, I've been reading note 466225.1 (How To : How to Setup DG4ODBC (Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC) on Windows 32bit) on metalink and it states the following:
>
Please be aware:
- DG4ODBC is first ported to 64bit Windows platforms starting with 11.2. Using a 32bit DG4ODBC on a 64bit Windows operating system is NOT certified.
- HSOLEDB is no longer available for 11g on Windows.
>
So, according to the above, I'm guessing that we won't be able to use dg4odbc to establish the connectivity between the two.. how about the old hsodbc setup under ORACLE_HOME\hs\admin ? would that work? or is there another way that w can do this?
I've been working on this and trying to get it going but not sure if I'm doing something wrong or it just doesn't work here..
On the server I did the following:
1. created the sqlserver DSN and tested the connection and it's all ok.
2. added the following to the tnsnames.ora
SQLCentralODBC =
(DESCRIPTION=
    (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=188.87.135.90)(PORT=1522))
    (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=SQLCentralODBC))
    (HS=OK)
) 3. added the following to the listener.ora:
LISTENER_ELMSCENTRAL =
(ADDRESS_LIST=
      (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=188.87.135.90)(PORT=1522))
SID_LIST_LISTENER_SQLCENTRAL=
(SID_LIST=
      (SID_DESC=
         (SID_NAME=SQLCentralODBC)
         (ORACLE_HOME=C:\oracle\product\11.1.0.7)
         (PROGRAM=hsodbc)
)4. the listener started ok, and I validated the dsn connection and it's all ok:

They say "Using a 32bit DG4ODBC on a 64bit Windows operating system is NOT certified." but we do it extensively and it works just fine. You need to install a 32-bit home and create a listener for the 32-bit gateway. Only downside (aside from maintaining 2 homes) is that if you need to file an SR, you must prove that you're able to reproduce the problem when the gateway is running on a 32-bit OS. We keep a little 32-bit server around for this purpose and point our gateways to that box to reproduce issues for SR's.
If you want to run "certified" all the time, you could leave the gateways running in Production on a 32-bit OS, but it runs considerably slower this way, and all because Oracle won't support your SR's. You have to decide if you really think you'll hit an issue that wouldn't reproduce on the true 32-bit OS and decide if it's worth the risk. We've made our decision...
Good luck!

AIX (Oracle 8.1.6) to MS/SQL Server (ODBC)

Hi,
The company I am working for is about to evaluate the Oracle Transparent Gateway to connect 8.1.6 (on AIX) to MS/SQL Server (on NT). I have heard that you can do this via ODBC (on AIX) to ODBC (on NT).
Does anyone have a step-by-step guide on how to do this? The Oracle documentation
"Managing Heterogeneous Services Using Generic Connectivity" just gives you concepts and does not tell you how to just
"do it" or where to get the ODBC driver manager (for AIX) or ODBC driver manager (for AIX).
Anyone set this up before?

Hi,
Good that you are exploreing lot many things. As you are already working on 8.1.6, I guess you know much about that. To get more on 9i features read this link
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96531/toc.htm
and 9.2.0.4 that 0.4 is a patch which you need to download from metalink site (metalink.oracle.com) for which you needs oracle licence.
Hope this meets your basic requirement.

Oracle 10.2 to MS-SQL Server 2005 connectivity

Hi,
I Have oracle10.2 installed on windows server 2003 (server2) and MS SQL server 2005 on windows server 2005(server1).
Connectivity architecture
1. I have created the DSN in windows odbc drivers in server2 and tested (connectivity is successful).
2. Created Heterogeneous Services Initialization File called initbowmacnet.ora (same as DSN) made the changes as below
#SQL SERVER DSN
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = "SERVER=10.1.1.2;DATABASE=bowmacnet"
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = off
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_ACCOUNT=oracle
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_PWD=oracle
3. Made changes to listener.ora as below.
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = E:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
BOWMACNET =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.1.1.2)(PORT = 1522))
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = orasrv1.tlisoftware.com)(PORT = 1521))
4. Changes to tnsnames.ora file
BOWMACNET =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.1.1.2)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = bowmacnet)
(HS = OK)
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = orasrv1.tlisoftware.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
Unfortunately i am getting error connecting database

kindly let me know what to do. please Help me out to resolve this issue
thanks and Regards

The listener must have the ip address/hostname of the machine where it is configured.
According to you configuration:
IP address 10.1.1.2 is for host orasrv1.tlisoftware.com.
Is this correct? Why don't you use the hostname as it was done for the listener with name listener?
