Need help making odbc connection to db2

I'm tying to connect to an ODBC connection and am getting an error, while running on NT V4, and Oracle v8.0.3.
I cannot connect by issuing the following from the Command line
PLUS80W.EXE user/passwd@odbc:db2_dev
I get the following error message:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name
Yet I can connect using Oracle's "Oracle ODBC Test", selecting the proper 'machine data source' and typing in the username and password.
Any ideas on how to proceed?
Do I need to add a service name to the tnsnames.ora file, if so, can someone provide a sample for an ODBC source?
Thanks
GL

SQL*Plus is an Oracle tool. At one point, I believe there was a facility that let you connect SQL*Plus to other data sources via ODBC (the acronym for this was OCA, Open Client Adaptor, I believe). As I understand it, though, this has been desupported.
There may be some folks in the SQL*Plus group that know the proper incantation to get this to work.

  • Need help with ODBC Connections in Adobe LiveCycle

    Hello I have designed a form for my company that uses a database to populate a few fields on the form. I am unable to get it to work correctly without acrobat pro installed. I am using using xfa.sourceSet.DataConnection but as I said it will only work with acrobat pro installed. We do not have acrobat pro on any of the machines at my company and installing it is not an option is there any other way to accompish this?

  • I need help making Adobe Edge animation appear correctly on iphones, ipads and android phones.

    I need help making Adobe Edge animation appear correctly on iphones, ipads and android phones. It currently looks fine on desktops and androids. I am using wordpress with a responsive theme (Canvas). I will need you to document The url is http://adamhtc.org.s183459.gridserver.com.

    Thanks George, interesting thought.  I looked on Adobe's site and they "advertise" fillable forms for the iPhone and Android markets, but on the Windows Phone tab, that is mysteriously missing.  lol    Maybe it will come later?   Meanwhile, I'll google to see if there are any PDF viewers that can handle it now.   Thanks for the reply.  :-)

  • Oracle ODBC Connectivity with db2

    I want to connect forms/reports with
    IBM DB2 Database installed on the
    same machine.But while connecting
    through odbc driver it gives "Invalid
    session id,access denied"and does not
    get connected.Same message comes when
    one gets connected to sql but it runs fine.
    I have tried in two ways to configure ODBC.
    1. Using Client Configuration Assistant
    of DB2.
    2. Usgin OCA and Intersolv odbc
    driver coming along with the cd.
    Forms and reports are 6i and
    db2 version is 5.
    Thanks in advance.
    Milind

    Dear Ajay,
    I used heterogenous connectivity to connect to DB2 but it is very very slow. And checked about Oracle gateway to Db2 and came to know that it is also very slow. The next solution was using ODBC to db2 using Forms 6i Patch 13. The connectivity is very good otherwise u can use DB2 Information Integrator software (cost about $20-50 K). If you need any more information please let me know.

  • I need help configuring a connection with asdm 5.2 for asa

    Hi All
    I am very much a novice with asdm 5.2 for asa and I urgently need to configure a connection but don’t know how to. I have 2 domains at work and someone is trying to connect their sql client from their pc in one domain to the sql server in the other domain (DMZ).
    When he tries to connect he gets the error
    Cant connect to MySql Server at "IP Address" (10060)
    He is trying to connect on port 3306. Could anyone please give me any tips on how i can resolve this quickly? I know i am
    trying a shortcut on this one but I recently started a new job and thrown in the deep end here and need to learn this asdm 5.2 for asa product from scratch with nothing more than the manual that come with the cd . My Cisco knowledge is from 2001 when i did half of a ccna course.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Hi,
    I'm not a security specialist but here is how I had it set up at home:
    Essentially a NAT and a rule forwarding the port are needed. In this particular case I had an Oracle server running and a person requested remote access. So, for example, the source address was his external IP and the destination was the Oracle's external IP. For the NAT the source was the internal IP of the Oracle server and the interface was Outside.
    Hope this points you in the right direction.

  • I need help I can connect my printer to my router to use my printers with my mini I pad

    I need help I have been trying for hours to connect my new e printer to my router ,to use with my ipad mini

    Hi,
    The simplest way to print wirelessly from your ipad is to download the HP eprint app and ensure that both your printer and device are connected to the same wifi network - once this is complete, you'll be bale to print wirelessly from within the eprint app.
    Alternatively, you can use the wireless direct funtion of your printer by turining on the wireless button on the front of the printer. This allows the printer generate it's own wifi singal that you can connect to through any wireless device. To find the wireless password, simply hold down the wireless direct button for more than 3 secs and it will print the password on plain paper (make sure paper is loaded).

  • Need help making a simple script for my webcam

    Hey everyone, fairly new to applescript programming. I just bought a usb camera for my macbook because I use it for video conferencing/playing around, and it is better quality than the built in isight. However, in order to use this camera I need to use drivers from a program called camTwist. This being said camTwist needs to be opened first and the usb camera must be selected from camTwist Step 1 list in order for any other application to use the camera. I just want to make a simple program that would open camTwist first, then select "webcam" from the list (double click it like I always have to in order to select it) in order to activate the driver, and then open photo booth which would then be using the camTwist driver in order to take pictures.
    I made a crude program but it does not automatically select "webcam" from the Step 1 list in camTwist:
    tell application "CamTwist" to activate
    delay 10
    tell application "Photo Booth" to activate
    that’s basically it. I set the delay to 10 seconds so that when camTwists boots up first I can manually select my webcam. HOWEVER, I would like to make a script that would boot up CamTwist first, select my webcam from the list automatically, and then open Photo Booth with the CamTwist webcam driver already selected.
    Don't know much about applescript so any help to make a working script to solve my problem would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Solved my problem but now I need help with something else! First I used CamTwist user options to create user defined hot keys with the specific purpose to load the webcam. I chose Command+B. I tested it out in CamTwist and it worked. The program follows a logical order from there. First it loads CamTwist, then after a short delay it presses the hot keys in order to load the webcam from the video source list, then another short delay and Photo Booth is opened with the driver loaded from camTwist. Everything works Perfect! Here's the code:
    tell application "System Events"
    tell application "CamTwist" to activate
    delay 0.5
    --Press command+b which is a user defined hot key to load webcam
    key code 11 using command down
    end tell
    delay 0.5
    tell application "Photo Booth" to activate
    My Next question is, would it be possible with this same script to have both applications quit together. For example I always quit Photo Booth first, so when I quit photo booth is there a way to make CamTwist also quit and keep everything within the same script? Please let me know. This forum has been very helpful and lead me to a solution to my problem! Hoping I can solve this next problem as well! Thanks everyone.

  • I need help making a square that scans across a screen.

    As Lynn found, there is a memory problem with the vi which didn't show up in my limited testing.
    Using Shift Registers with Picture Controls can cause problems.
    See this thread.
    Try the attached "mod" version.
    Then I got to thinking, why redraw the box (2x with "erase") - when you could just move a box around?
    (Note: I used a picture for the box, but you could use other objects.)
    The "mod1" version does it this way.
