#Name in Access table - Connection string problem

Dear All,
Hope you can help with this one. I am using the 9.0.1.8 ODBC driver set to connect to our Oracle817 database. Usually when connecting tables everything is fine, and no problems appear. There are, however, a small handful of tables that cause ODBC Call Failed errors when I attempt to connect and open them, they display an incorrect record count, and fill all columns with #Name.
After checking someone else's PC, I have found that the problem is caused by the connection string. Obviously the connection string is genereated from the setting used in the ODBC Admin panel, but how do I get it to include or exclude the settings that are causing the problems?
With thanks in advance,
Paul.

The Application Name is used for the database administrator to see the name of the application that is connecting to SQL Server. If it is not provided, the default value is '.NET SQLClient Data Provider'.

    Cisco broadens WLAN offerings
    By John Cox
    Network World Fusion, 11/12/03
    Cisco Wednesday will announce a series of products and product
    improvements to bolster its wireless LAN offerings, including
    additional software that shifts WLAN features into other parts
    of the corporate net.
    The announcement will include, according to a source familiar
    with Cisco's plans:
    * Cisco's first 54M bit/sec 802.11g radios for its access
    points.
    * A new client adapter card that can work with 802.11a, 11b, or
    11g access points.
    * A new version of its IOS network operating system, adapted for
    the model 1100 and 1200 access points.
    * A new software version for the CiscoWorks Wireless LAN
    Solutions Engine, which is a server for administering access
    points.
    Last June, Cisco unveiled a WLAN strategy called Structured
    Wireless-Aware Network (SWAN). The idea behind SWAN is to
    distribute WLAN functions to various devices in the net, as
    appropriate. Cisco officials say some functions are best done on
    access points, and the adaptation of IOS for these devices makes
    them highly programmable, and visible to other Cisco network
    resources, such as network management and network security
    products.
    Other functions have been shifted to the Wireless LAN Solutions
    Engine (WLSE or "willsee" to insiders). Still others will be
    shifted gradually to Cisco's wireline switches and routers, as
    IOS is updated. The first release of "wireless aware" IOS will
    be sometime in 2004, Cisco said.

  • Connection string problem

    I am connecting to Oracle 11g from MFC application using CDatabase class. I need DSN less connection.
    I downloaded 64-bit ODAC 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1.0) for Windows x64 from oracle.com. These contain 64-bit Oracle ODBC Driver 12.1.0.1.0.
    Using this driver, I am able to connect to Oracle using TNS service. This works fine. Following is the connection string,
    "Driver=Oracle in OraClient12Home1;Dbq=ORCL2;Uid=system;Pwd=manager"
    But if I try connect using hostname, port, database name, it gives error. Following is the connection string I am using,
    "Driver={Oracle in OraClient12Home1};Uid=system;Pwd=pass1;Server=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=xyz)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=ORCL)(SERVER=DEDICATED)));"
    I want to connect without using TNS service. Is it possible? Is there something wrong?
    Thanks.

  • CR for VS, MSSQL, ConnectionInfo and "Application Name" in connection string

    I'm using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2013, latest version. I'm using the web CrystalReportViewer component. I'm setting the connection information, something like this:
    var tables = rpt.Database.Tables;
    foreach (Table table in tables)
        var tableLogonInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
        tableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
        table.ApplyLogOnInfo(tableLogonInfo);
    When the connection to the database is opened, the "Application Name" (which you can see with sp_who2 in MS SQL Server) is "Internet Information Services". I'd like it to be something else, like the name of my website or something similar. If I could specify the exact connection string, I could do this by including "Application Name=MyWebSite" in the connection string, but of course that isn't possible (right?).
    Does anyone know of a way to set the CrystalReportViewer's connection's Application Name?
    Thanks.
    Dan

    The name of the physical executable that created the connection is (generally) automatically used to populate the PROGRAM column of the V$SESSION table.
    If you want a more human-readable application name or if you have multiple applications in the same application server, you can use the DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO package to set the CLIENT_INFO, MODULE, and ACTION columns of V$SESSION for this particular session once you've created your connection.

  • Specify tablespace within JDBC connect string...

    In MySQL, I can specify a database name within a JDBC connect string. Can one specify an Oracle tablespace within a JDBC connect string? The goal is to have one account to access multiple tablespaces.
    Please advise,
    R

    R,
    I think perhaps you misunderstand what a tablespace is in Oracle.
    If you haven't already done so, I suggest reading Oracle Database Concepts and Oracle Database Administrator's Guide which are part of the Oracle documentation and available from:

  • How to create dynamic Connection String in SSIS Package???

    Hi
    I created OLEDB Source Connnection String for that Package,
    i need Create OLEDB Destination Connection String Dynamically,
    Same server name,but i need to add DW at the end of the Database
    ex:
    Source database name is Demo,
    Destination database should come DemoDW.
    i need to create Dynamic Destination Connection String..
    any possible to Create 
    Thanks in advance
    Pandiyan
    pandiyan

    Hi Pandiyanpvp,
    According to your description, the OLEDB Destination Connection String should be dynamically based on the OLEDB Source Connection String. They are all the same, except adding “DW” at the end of the Database of OLEDB Source Connection String in OLEDB Destination
    Connection.
    To achieve this requirement, we can create a variable with the Database name of OLEDB Source Connection String, then use expression to control the OLEDB Source and OLEDB Destination Connection Strings. For more details, please refer to the following steps:
    Create a variable named Source with the Database name of OLEDB Source Connection String as value.
    Click the OLEDB Source Connection Manager to navigate to the Properties window.
    Click “…” next to Expressions to add a ConnectionString Property with the expression like below:
    "Data Source=.;Initial Catalog="+@[User::Source] + ";Provider=SQLNCLI11.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;"
    Click the OLEDB Destination Connection Manager to navigate to the Properties window.
    Click “…” next to Expressions to add a ConnectionString Property with the expression like below:
    "Data Source=.;Initial Catalog="+ @[User::Source] + "DB"+";Provider=SQLNCLI11.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;"
    If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

    Connect String:PSFTFS.peoplesoft.com
    The DAC is able to connect to both Informatica repository and integration service ok. I have 11gClient installed and can tsnping and sqlplus to the PeopleSoft database PSFTFS and also can connect using sqldeveloper:

    The connect string field will not hold all the characters for the full connect string listed above. So should I use a connect string like:
    PSFTFS:10200/PSFTFS.peoplesoft.com ??
    Do I also need to create a relational connection with the same name as the application connection??
    Any other suggestions to get the connection to work for Informatica Workflows?

    Hi,
    I have copied a number of SSID packages from a live server to my test server and am trying to get them up and running but I have a problem with the connection. The only thing that is different is the server name. I decided to keep the same connection in the connection manager as it is referenced in a dtsConfig file. I changed the dtsConfig file to reference the new servername [Data Source= new test server name]. I also check my paths and they are pointing to the correct config locations etc.
    I found this post which was similar to my problem but I still get problems with the connection
    http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1319961&SiteID=1
    I updated the connection by changing the server name in the actual connection. I did this from the data flow tab in the Connection Managers sections (MS Visual Studio). Right clicked - Edit - changed the name of the server name to my test server and selected the database. Test connection was fine, and saved this.
    Once I saved this, the connection string changed to my current test server in the properties of the connection. However when I run the package I get the following error:
    Error: 0xC0202009 at ReportsImport, Connection manager "myconnectionstring": SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR.  An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.

    Error: 0xC0024107 at Myprocess import from file: There were errors during task validation.
    So even if I change the existing connection properties and save and Build my package again, my connection properties (connectionstring, servername etc) all revert back to its original data source when I re-open the package. Simply it does not seem to be saving the connection properties i put in.
    What am I doing wrong or how can I change the existing connection manager to look at the new server. The database is  the same and I have full admin privilege on the server.
    I don't want to recreate my packages as there are alot and they are not simple.
    After changing the connection properties, saving and reloading I get a connection error. But this is because it is not retaining the new connection manger setting i entered.
    Incidentally - I created a new SSID to perform a simple connection and write to the the server and it was OK so there is no problem with actually seeing the my test server.
    Thanks in advance

    Yes, the package is in visual studio and I have executed it. There are no errors but in the output i have the error message about my connection. My dtsConfig file is added to the project in the 'Package Configuration Organizer' and path and files are correct. This is the output error:
    Error: 0xC020801C at xx import from file, xxReportsImport [79]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER.  The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "myconnectionname" failed with error code 0xC0202009.  There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.
    I will try and run it using dtexec.exe. if I have two config files do i use
    dtsexec.exe /f <packagename> /conf <configfile> /conf <secondconfigfile>

    hope this helps.
    520496-BW 3.0 external DB Connect after INFORMIX
    Symptom
    You want to connect an external Informix database to a BW Release greater than 3.0A in the form of a source system via an external Database Connect. This note describes the following:
    prerequisites to be met
    problems that can occur
    which of these problems can be solved.
    Other terms
    Rsdbc, DATES, TIMES, DBCON, DBCONNECT, source system, database, InfoSource, DataSource
    Reason and Prerequisites
    1. General
    2. Supported BW / Basis versions
    3. Possible main problem areas
    a) Conventions and notation
    b) Use of data types
    c) Code page and sort sequence of the source system
    1. General
                   Implementing the above function enables you to load data into a BW system from any Informix database. Unlike an Informix database delivered by SAP AG, you can configure this database as you like. This can cause constellations where an external DB access cannot be used directly. For most of these scenarios, a satisfactory customer-specific solution can be developed. However, the consulting expenses associated with this solution are not part of the normal support and are settled separately. A certain level of expertise and experience in using the source database (Informix in this case) is required to set up this connection, especially in the areas
    DB-specific tools
    DB-specific SQLSyntax
    DB-specific function
                   Knowledge of the source application is also required for transferring semantically-relevant data to the BW system.
    Solution
    1. Supported BW/Basis versions
                  BW 3.0B   Basis 6. 20 Support Package 21
    1. Possible main problem areas
    a) Conventions and notation
                The DB connect interface in BW always expects capitalized table and field names. Since table and column names are usually written in lower case in Informix, access to an external table must be enabled via a view on the (external) Informix database. Field and table names must be entered in upper case in the view (enclose in quotation marks; environment variable DELIMIDENT must be set).
               Another advantage of the view is that access rights to the external table can be adjusted accordingly for the new requests. The view should be created as follows:
    create view "<VIEWNAME>" ("<FIELD1>", "<FIELD2>"..)
    as select
      <field1>, <field2>....
    from <tabname>;
    a) Use of data types
                In the case of SAP installations, the DB data type DATE and DATETIME are not used. Date and time are stored by the DDIC as character-like data types on the database. These date types therefore cannot be copied to the BW consistently without additional activities.
               Solution:
                You must create a view in the source system view which transforms the date types. DATE must be converted to an CHAR8 field (date) and DATETIME to an CHAR8 field (date) and a CHAR10 field (time):
    create view "<VIEWNAME>" ("<FIELD1>")
    as select
      substring ( to_char(<date_field>,'%Y%m%d) from 1 for 8 )
    from <tabname>;
    create view "<VIEWNAME>" ("<FIELD1>", "<FIELD2>")
    as select
      substring ( to_char(<datetime_field>,'%r) from 1 for 2 ) ||
      substring ( to_char(<datetime_field>,'%r) from 4 for 2 ) ||
      substring ( to_char(<datetime_field>,'%r) from 7 for 2 ) ||
      '0000'
    from <tabname>;  #
                Informix and ABAP support a value range of 1x10E-307 to 1x10E+308 for the 'float' data type. Limits may apply in the case of other databases. Before transferring 'float' data types to BW, you should therefore check the permissible value range on the target database.
    a) Code page and sort sequence of the source system
                   R/3 kernel based systems like BW are configured so that the database used is created with code page cp850 and the sort sequence 'bin'. The configuration of the source system may deviate from this.
                   If the sort sequence is different, operations for pattern search ( like ) and area search ( between, >, < ) for character-like fields may return different results. No solution is currently available for this problem.
                   The use of multibyte code pages in the source system for storing character sets with more than 256 characters ( Kanji, Hiragana, Korean, Chinese etc.) can cause inaccuracies in the data. No solution is currently available for this problem.
