System DSN setup

I installed Oracle8i Enterprise Server 8.1.6 Release 2 on W2K Advanced Server. I logged in to SQLPlus as system/manager and created a single table (Userid). I am using Oracle ODBC Driver 8.01.06.00 (must have been installed with the 8i Enterprise Edition?)From the trace it is clear that it is not picking up the password. The error is "ORA-01005 - null password given;logon denied". But I have configured the ODBC System DSN setup with Service name=o8ibegin and UserID=system/manager and Data Source Name=SiLicBkr. My IIS (ISAPI DLL) application uses MFC Odbc Classes with DSN=SiLicBkr and works fine with MS SQL Server and MS ACCESS. Any one can tell me where and how the password should be specified to the Oracle ODBC driver? Obviously being IIS app, password prompting at connect time is not an option!
Thanks,

Hi Justin, thanks for the prompt reply. I am still having problems with your first suggestion (I did not try the second option to do with registry). You mention a 'connect string', I assume this is to be entered in the Service field (because it does not accept such a string in Data Source Name field)? I have SiLicBkr in Data Source Name field, system in UserID field and I have tried different things for the Service Name field such as "DBQ=o8ibegin;PWD=manager" and also "DBQ=o8ibegin;PWD=manager;DSN=SiLicBkr". You may note, in your reply you missed out the service name "o8ibegin" altogether. After talking to others, I was told to try DBQ=o8ibegin in the connect string as shown above for service name. Now I get ORA-12154 TNS could not resolve service name...error. I may also mention, others told me to use Net Easy .. to specify connect string, but the closest thing I have is Net8 configuration assistant and while it shows o8ibegin, it does not provide any way for me to specify the connect string you mentioned! Any help will be appreciated. I have carefully looked at your online help in the ODBC administration setup, but not much luck.
Thanks,

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Justin Cave ([email protected]):
The UserID field in the Driver Setup screen should be just the userid (system), not the userid/password (system/mananger)
There are two ways to specify the password. First, your connect string can be "DSN=SiLicBkr;PWD=manager".
Second, you can add a registry entry "Password" with the string value "manager" at \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\odbc\ODBC.INI\SiLicBkr\. Obviously, the former is the preferred solution.
It has been our feeling that allowing the password to be specified in the driver setup is generally a poor decision because of the security considerations. Since anyone at the machine can view the DSN configuration, exposing the password could allow users much more access to data than intended. Passwords that are compiled as part of an application, on the other hand, are much more difficult to achieve.

Two questions related to OBIEE 11g setup in Linux

Hi,
1.Do we need to setup JDK 1.6 and above before installing OBIEE? as per below post OBIEE uses it's own JDK.
OBIEE 11g on Windows 7 (64 bit)
2. Do we need to configure DHCP loopback adapter in Linux as well as we do in windows? If Yes how can I do it in Linux?
Please let me know the answers ASAP.
Thanks
Jay.

Hi Jay,
1.Do we need to setup JDK 1.6 and above before installing OBIEE?Not required
2. Do we need to configure DHCP loopback adapter in Linux as well as we do in windows? If Yes how can I do it in Linux?On Linux x86 operating systems, configure the host to resolve host names to the loopback IP address by modifying the /etc/hosts file to contain the following entries:
127.0.0.1 hostname.domainname hostname
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
After doing so, check that the host name resolves to the loopback IP address by entering the following command:
/bin/ping hostname.domainname

OBIEE MUD setup on Linux

Do you have any link for the setup guide od MUD on Linux/Unix box?

Thomas_Dodds wrote:
Is linux your developer's machine OS and/or your OBI Server?
We have linux for OBI Server and windows for developer machines and it works like a charm ... just need a samba share on the linux box to be able to have the shared folder for the windows machines to checkout and upload changes to the 'network'.you don't have to have a Samba share, you can use a Windows Share as well and then upload the RPD using your usual method (FTP, sftp, etc).

Minimum OBIEE setup to run nqcmd on DAC/Infa Server

Hi Folks,
Can anyone suggest.. minimum OBIEE 11g setup required to run nqcmd Command on DAC/Infa server, if it is possible approch?
Basically, we want to purge OBIEE server cache from DAC/Infa Server installed on different servers.
We have already tried remote command execution with ssh without password.. its works great from commandline but when we invoke same from Infa/DAC it gives hostkey verification error.
So we are now thinking of setting up basic OBIEE utilities which will have nqcmd and ODBC DSN setup on DAC/Infa server, to purge OBIEE Cache on other OBIEE server.
All suggestions are welcome and appreciated !
Thanks in Advance!

It's problem with your Java (i think u deinstalled java before deinstalling obiee11g) can you check it your java and if its not available try to install same java version, same path then try to deinstall obiee part.
Note:if you have permission to registry (delete all obiee,weblogic,java relevant and then reboot your pc after reboot try to remove obiee11g installed physical physical folder, delete obiee DSN (ODBC), delete services from ms_services, remove start menu folder after clean above all then delete TEMP/TMP folder etc..

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?

How to connect Linux OBIEE repository to database?

I installed Oracle BIEE.
Then I uploaded the repository from my Windows BIEE.
Then uploaded my catalog (web/catalog/)
Now I must connect my repository to oracle db. How can I do this?
In Windows I did ODBC connections to my databases. How to connect to databases on Linux?
Best regards, Teodor

OK let's start again with all you need to do as you don't clarify if you have done it or not:
1) Make sure you got a FULL Oracle 10g client installed (check with your DBA). Oracle INSTANT CLIENT is NOT SUPPORTED.
2) Make sure the OBIEE user that you use to run the OBIEE services has read and execute permissions on all files under ORACLE_HOME for the Oracle client that you wish to use. Even better if you install the Oracle client with the same user as the OBIEE uses to run it's services.
3) Make sure your Oracle 10g client has the OCI 32bits libraries installed (check in the ORACLE_HOME/lib32 directory that the libclntsh.so.10.1 library exists and it's size is bigger than 0 bytes). OBIEE uses the 32bits libraries.
4) Configure your OBIEE /OracleBI/setup/user.sh file to make sure your ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN variables are correctly set to the correct values. You also need to set these two:
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib32:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
5) Export all the above 4 variables in your current session and test that you can resolve your database name(s) by doing "tnsping DB_NAME".
6) Restart all your OBIEE services and check that all variables are correctly set (type "env").
After you have done all that give it a test and let us know if it works.

Finding table-name from a DSN name

i need to find the total number and names of tables from a DSN setup on an access DB. can u tell me how? I couldn't find it in JDBC tutorial ..
Thanx

Try this
DatabaseMetaData meta=conn.getMetaData();
     ResultSet set=meta.getTables("Database_name",null,null,null);
     System.out.println("got meta data ");
     while(set.next()){
          System.out.println(set.getString(3));
// 3 rd column is the name of table
The resultant resultset has following columns (as strings)
(as per javadoc)
TABLE_CAT String => table catalog (may be null)
TABLE_SCHEM String => table schema (may be null)
TABLE_NAME String => table name
TABLE_TYPE String => table type. Typical types are "TABLE", "VIEW", "SYSTEM TABLE", "GLOBAL TEMPORARY", "LOCAL TEMPORARY", "ALIAS", "SYNONYM".
REMARKS String => explanatory comment on the table
TYPE_CAT String => the types catalog (may be null)

OBIEE client on Win7, nqsdbgatewaysapbapi.dll not found

OBIEE client setup question:
First time setup connecting to SAP. We have the SAP Adapters setup on our OBIEE server, but are not able to configure the OBIEE client to connect to SAP datasources. We have Windows 7 32-bit and retrieved from SAP Marketplace the SAR file (SAP NW RFC SDK 7.20) for the BAPI adapter.
The error is "Failed to load the DLL C:\<install path>\server\bin\nqsdbgatewaysapbapi.dll. Check if 'BAPI' database client is installed."
Any direction/advice would be most appreciated from someone who has a successful OBIEE > SAP working connection.
Thanks,
Mike

Re-installed the BAPI database driver on the Server and it resolved this error. It was not a client install issue.
UPDATED:
Removed "Correct" Answer and updated this to "Unanswered". The BAPI database driver is on the Server and the error can be bypassed by connecting to the Server (Remote Desktop) and working with the RPD file in "Online" mode. We still receive this error with the OBIEE Client.
Still looking for a solution for the OBIEE client connecting to SAP BW datasources.
