Multiple Simultaneous ODBC Connections

Running into a problem when trying to pull data from Oracle via the Merrant drivers. If two databases are building simultaneously and both need to connect to the same Oracle servers at the same time (or, if one database is loading data and a developer is building a data load rule that hits the same server) we get an error stating:SQL driver for [ODBC name] is in use and does not allow multiple connections.This is a problem not only as it slows development (waiting for one load to finish before building another load rule) but can prevent a successful automated build should one app still be loading data prior to the second app starting to load data.Is there a way to allow an Essbase server to connect multiple simultaneous connections to a data source, like Oracle?

You need to configure your VPN servers differently. You can not have conflicting subnets.
Also, PPTP is not secure. You should look into OpenVPN if you are in control of the VPN servers and have the authority to chose. OpenVPN is also much easier to configure. You simply add this to the end of the server config for vpn2.
push "route 10.1.2.3 255.255.255.255"
push "route 10.5.6.7 255.255.255.255"

  • Cannot establish multiple simultaneous PPTP connections with the CISCO 1841.

    Hello everyone;
    I have recently tested a PPTP connection with a CISCO 1841 router and got success. I have configured a windows 7 client and successfully connected to the router and was able to access the documents in the server PC that I have mentioned in the attached diagram. I have created number of different users  in the CISCO 1841 too. While some one is having a connection, another user cannot connect to it, which means multiple simultaneous connections aren't possible. Do I have to create a ACL for the PPTP and if yes, How ?

    As long as you have the inspection engine enabled on the ASA, it shouldn't freak out of the different IP as it will inspect the call signalling and will NAT it accordingly, BUT, for simplicity, I agree with you, it would cause a lot of troubleshooting headache if there is problem as well as reconfiguration of IP on the host ends.

  • Netcfg: Multiple simultaneous vpn-connections

    I need to connect to two vpn networks, and I am using netcfg. I can connect to both networks separately, but it does not work to have both networks up at the same time.
    This is the configuration:
    vpn1: 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 vpnc

    Traffic to 10.1.2.3 and 10.5.6.7 should go to vpn2
    I think I'll figure this routing out by myself, just mentioning it as it might be relevant context.
    If vpn1 is up, and I do netcfg vpn2, vpn1 gets disabled before netcfg tries to connect to vpn2. And the other way around. There seems to be some 'exclusive'-flag set, but I have not been able to locate it from scrolling through /usr/bin/netcfg, /usr/lib/network/network and /usr/lib/network/globals. What have I missed? Any pointer would be much appreciated

  • Teradata destination ODBC connections failing in SSIS job

    Windows Server 2012 R2
    SQL Server Integration Services 2012
    Teradata 13.10.00.14, Driver 14.10.00.06
    We have a situation where ODBC connections to Teradata destination database keep getting errors from time to time, not every night though.
    Some nights regular load jobs execute successfully and sometimes they get errors "There was an error trying to establish an Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) connection with the database server." -
    one or more component failed validation.
    The faulty component is usually different, not the same every time. Package may also differ. There are 4 packages starting parallelly at the same time, each having 1 or 2 sequences of dataflows and sql tasks (about 60 dataflows and 40 sql tasks in total in
    those packages). Packages have been migrated from DTS to SSIS and this kind of error-situation has never occurred before.
    So we checked what happens on the Teradata side - many simultaneous sessions, validation sessions at first then TPT Load and ODBC sessions, but the number of concurrent open sessions never exceeds something like 30-40. And there is a parameter in Teradata indicating
    that max allowed sessions is 120.
    Two different kinds of connection managers used - Teradata Connection Manager, used in Attunity Teradata Destination component for TPT Loading and ODBC Connection manager to execute SQL Tasks and also for loading to Teradata destination tables in case of low
    number of records being transfered.
    TPT Loads take 14 sessions each, ODBC destination and validation sessions apparently 1 per validation/component.
    What could be the reason for this error? Where to look, what to check?
    Thanks for any advice!

    Sorry the information given doesnt help much to understand the root cause. Anyways something you could do is to set delay validation to true so that actual error you will get at runtime rather than a validation failed message as above. One more thing you
    can try is running packages one at a time and see if error occurs. Also see if multiple packages running in parallel are using same object.

  • 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.
    Travis

    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

  • Lost ODBC Connection from development environment

    Using LV 7.1 and an Active-X based ODBC Connection scheme to a MySQL database which has worked flawlessly up until now.  I've just written an application which accesses the database to generate a 'recipe' for our operators to follow.  This is poked into a multicolumn listbox, and works perfectly from the compiled version.  However, when I'm running the very same program in the development envirnment, I will get an error which indicates I have lost the connection to the database.  Never happened from the built versions, and yes, I'm running exactly the same code.  This is irritating, as when I'm trying to debug the SQL pieces, the code crashes.  Happily, the compiled versions are working, but it makes me nervous when programs crash like this.
    I am doing a listbox refresh every 60s or so, which involves accessing the database, reading a large chunk and displaying it. Im' also doing an ODBC conncetion check every 2s, and possibly some other database access depending on the operator input.  MySQL is set up so that I can have 100 threads open at once, and I never approach that.  I always open, do command, then close and destroy connections. 
    All I can think of is that there is a difference in the timing and the database access between the developement environment and the compiled versions.
    Any thoughts anyone? 

    Hi,
    Yes, that is exactly what I have done.  Built the executable which runs without problems.
    I've also tried to strip the program down by simply running the piece which polls the database continually. This seemed to run fine until I ran another program which also accessed the same database. So, to summarize:
    1.  The development environment program with single loop running accessing the database every 2s or so runs fine.
    2.  The dev. env. app. running multiple loops possibly accessing the db concurrently crashes
    3.  The same program as 2 but built into an application runs fine.

  • ODBC Connection with one to many results

    Hi there - I have followed Stefan Cameron's excellent blogs on linking livecycle forms to data from an odbc connection however I have now become stuck.
    Effectively I have a form that populates part of the form with matching data for a specific id, however I then need to populate a different part of the form from another database connection that holds multiple records for that id.
    I have successfully completed the first part (YEAY!) however the second bit I cannot do - I have tried using the xfa.sourceSet.dataconnection.next() however this repeats the same data and doesn't seem to want to get the next record.
    What I seem to need is a mix of Stefan's "selecting specific records" (which works great for the first bit) then the retrieving ALL records bit from here
    http://forms.stefcameron.com/2006/10/12/displaying-all-records-from-an-odbc-data-connectio n/
    but only where the relation matches the first section.
    Does anyone have any ideas - I'm sorry if I am not being very clear - I can post more detail if needed.
    Regards,
    Bev.

    Thanks Paul - I already have two data connections as there are two different result sets I am working on
    To clairfy - the first data connection retrieves grant id, title name and address of all grants
    The second data connection then retrieves financial data for all projects related to those grants
    There are several records of financial data per grant.
    So the first bit of code retireves all relevant data for the grant selected.
    xfa.sourceSet.claimdata.#command.query.select = concat("SELECT grt_title, grt_contact, grt_org, grt_addr, grt_post FROM gs_user_claim_pdf_table WHERE grt_id = ",sGrtId, ";")
    xfa.sourceSet.claimdata.open()
    xfa.sourceSet.claimdata.first()
    This bit works fine
    The second bit is only working for the first record it finds - what I need to do is to loop through all the results and populate a repeating subform with the relevant results but I just don't know how!
    xfa.sourceSet.subproject.#command.query.commandType = "text"
    xfa.sourceSet.subproject.#command.query.select = concat("SELECT sub_prj_title,claim_amt,tot_est_cost,unit_type,total_units,funded_by,exp_type,grt_id,prj_ id FROM gs_user_sub_proj_table WHERE grt_id = ", sGrtId, ";")
    xfa.sourceSet.subproject.open()
    xfa.sourceSet.subproject.first()
    _subprojects.addInstance(1)
    xfa.sourceSet.subproject.next()
    Any pointers gratefully received!

  • Hi, i am trying to open and view a report that comes from another server with different odbc connection

    hi, i am trying to open and view a report that comes from another server with different odbc connection
    i created a crystal report for a mysql database on my machine and everything works great
    but we have other reports that come from other machines with different odbc connection
    and this its not working when opens the report asks for credentials
    and i cannot use the remote ip for these reports that come from other machine
    question
    if i cannot connect to remote ip to open the report
    for each report i have to create a database the report database on my machine and then open the report ?
    or there is some other way to open the report ?
    i am using visual studio 2013 and mysql and
       <add key="MYSQLODBCDRIVER" value="{MySQL ODBC 5.3 UNICODE Driver}"/>
    thanks

    short
    i have a report that it was created on another server with a specific dsn
    now i am trying to open the report on my machine
    the database from the other server does not exist on my machine
    the server machine where the report was created the ip its not accessible
    question ?
    can i open the report on my machine or its impossible ?
    thanks

  • 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

  • How to find the number of ODBC connections to Oracle Database

    Hi All,
    How to find the number of ODBC connections and all connections to the Database in last week. Are there any views to get this information?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mahi

    What Ed said is true that Oracle doesn't note which type of protocol is connecting to the database, however, you can see which program is accessing the database.
    For example: if you already know of a user using ODBC, you can verify as:
    select username, osuser, terminal, program from v$session where username = 'SCOTT'
    USERNAME                 OSUSER          TERMINAL   PROGRAM
    SCOTT                    IUSR_SRV231     SRV231     w3wp.exe
    SCOTT                    IUSR_SRV231     SRV231     w3wp.exe
    2 rows selected.Assuming that you can confirm the progam noted in the above (example) is the one using ODBC, then you can change the query such as:
    SQL> select username, osuser, terminal, program from v$session where program = 'w3wp.exe';
    USERNAME                 OSUSER          TERMINAL   PROGRAM
    SCOTT                    IUSR_SRV231     SRV231     w3wp.exe
    SCOTT                    IUSR_SRV231     SRV231     w3wp.exe
    2 rows selected.Just for kicks, I checked our listener.log file, but there was no reference of odbc in it either.
    Hope this helps...

  • 11g 64-bit unable to create ODBC connection

    Hello,
    I am currently facing issue related to ODBC connection. Details of configuration is as follows

    It appears and works well from 32 bit ODBC connection manager. However, it's not visible/available from 64 bit ODBC connection manager. Oracle installation repository appears under 64 bit area ("Program Files") and not under "Program Files (x86)". Assuming it might be a problem with installation I have also tried copying registry entries under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC with no luck.
    Any help to create ODBC connection is much appreciated

  • 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.

  • Multiple OLE DB connection managers to the same database instance in a SSIS package

    Hi,
    While migrating DTS package to SSIS package, I came across one which had multiple OLE DB connection managers all connecting to the same Oracle schema in the same instance.
    There are that many execute SQL task corresponding to each of these connection managers.
    Each of  these SQL task call different Oracle stored procedures and executes them in the same schema in the same instance.
    My question is, is there any particular reason or advantage in having multiple connection managers?
    Can't we have one single connection manager and use the same in all of these SQL tasks?
    Does multiple connection managers provide any added advantage like parallelism or something?
    In this particular case, there are no actual workflows, rather each of these SQL tasks are stand alones. But there are other packages which has SQL tasks in workflow but still each of them calling separate connection managers all calling the same schema
    in the same instance.
    Thanks for your time.

    Well like I said, each of  these SQL task calls "different" Oracle stored procedures even though executes them in the same schema in the same instance. I tried a sample testing by creating two separate packages, one with only one single
    OLE DB connection referred in all of the SQL tasks and in the other one with mutiple OLE DB connections to the same schema in the same instance each of which is referred in each of the SQL task in one to one mapping.
    Now the first one created one session in Oracle but the later created as many sessions as there where OLE DB connection managers. The first one took longer to complete than the second one since second one created independent sessions and executed those procedures
    sort of parallely.
    I guess that can be called an advantage of creating multiple connection managers to the same schema in the same instance.

  • Can a SQL view see data from an ODBC connection?

    Hi.  I currently have an application that pulls data from a custom SQL view in my SQL database.  This custom application can not be changed, so it expects to see the data exactly as presented by my custom SQL view.  This works fine
    when the data resides in SQL, but I am not sure if it is possible when the data resides outside of SQL.  I’d like to connect to another type of database via an ODBC connection from my SQL database, and still utilize my custom SQL view.  I would prefer to NOT
    use the SQL database as a warehouse, and simply use it to pass data.
    Is this possible?   Thank you for reading.

    Hi Robet,
    According to your description, you want to create view in SQL Server to pass data from OBDC database to custom application, right?
    In this case, we can create linked server to access an ODBC database when you are using an ODBC data source. Linked servers can use the OLE DB Provider for ODBC without using an ODBC data source. You can refer to the link below to see the details.
