OCA & ODBC

I am trying to use Oracle Forms 6 to connect to an Access Database and an AS400 system.
Being some what new to Oracle I have no idea how to overcome this problem, when trying to connect to an ODBC data source through SQL *Plus:
ORA-00022: invalid session id; access denied
ORA-00022: invalid session id; access denied
ORA-00022: invalid session id; access denied
Error accessing PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE
Warning: Product user profile information not loaded!
You may need to run PUPBLD.SQL as SYSTEM
Server not available or version too low for this feature
ORA-00022: invalid session id; access denied
Connected to:
Oracle Open Client Adapter for ODBC 6.0.5.29.0
ACCESS 03.50.0000
Although it does connect via SQL *Plus, connecting with Oracle forms is a different matter! Form Builder brings up possibly the most unhelpful error message I have ever seen, it alerts me the following: F!G!G or sometimes simply: !G though sometimes it alerts random 'E's and 8's occasionally. Form builder then crashes and will not allow me to even connect to my Oracle Database. I have done everything by the book (oracle white paper oca_info.pdf) so I have no idea why this problem could be occuring.
Any help you could give me would be gratefully recieved, well to be honest it would be a god send! If I dont overcome this problem I will manually have to transfer thousands of records! Thank you in advance

You can download it from Metalink. I'm not sure where to find it if you don't have access to Metalink. I'm sure the nice folks at Oracle are more than willing to help you out.
Good Luck.

OCA - ODBC - Error/BUG

Hi everybody,
Could anybody help me on this :
I encountered an error message when I use SQL-Plus 8.0.6 with OCA 8.0.6 and RSF 8.0.6, it said : ORA-00022 : invalid session id; access denied.
I heard that the solution is to downgrade the RSF to 8.0.5, yes it really works. But the problem is RSF 8.0.5 resides in default_home directory, but the Form 6i that i use resides in oracle_home directory.
Could anybody help me to solve the problem, since 8.0.6 resides in oracle_home and 8.0.5 resides in default_home.
Thank you very much for the kind attention, greatly appreciate for the help.
Best regards,

Oracle FORMS 6i over SQL Server

Hi, I have an Oracle Forms 6i aplication over a Oracle Server 8i database. Is it possible to run it with SQL Server?

Yes you can using OCA/ODBC - see the on line help (I also think there is an oca*.pdf file on the Forms install which
will help).

Forms talking to Microsoft SQL Server

I have a form that is based on an Oracle database. DML is handled by forms and the oracle database.
I have on field that takes a ticket number. When this field is filled out I want to connect to a Microsoft SQL Server and make sure that the ticket number references a real ticket.
In the validation trigger, how do I connect to a microsoft sql server, run a sql statement, test the results?

Here I give you a Oracle sample to access ACCESS DB by OCI, hope this will help you to SQL SERVER.
How to query an MS Access database using an OCA ODBC connection?
Note: This article makes reference to directories relevant to Forms 6i
Solution Description
====================
1. Attach the oca.pll, located in the %ORACLE_HOME%/oca60/plsqllib directory,
to the desired fmb.
For this directory to appear the Oracle Open Client Adapter Component
needs to be installed from the base Developer 6i R2 cd.
2. Write a program unit similar to the following:
FUNCTION get_access RETURN pls_integer IS
connection pls_integer;
cursor1 pls_integer;
stmt varchar2(1000);
n pls_integer;
BEGIN
stmt := 'select count(*) from emp';
connection := oca.dbconnect('scott/tiger@odbc:msa');
message(to_char(connection));
cursor1 := oca.execute(connection,stmt);
loop
begin
oca.fetch_row(connection,cursor1);
oca.coldata(connection,cursor1,1,n);
message(to_char(n)||' record(s)');
exception
when no_data_found then
message('NO MORE ROWS');
exit;
end;
end loop;
oca.close(connection,cursor1);
oca.disconnect(connection);
return n;
exception
when oca.connection_error then
message('OCA-Connection error');
when oca.cursor_error then
message('OCA-Cursor error');
when others then
message('Other Error');
end;

you need to use something called OCA/ODBC- in your installation of Forms there is a file called oca_info.pdf which describes how to connect forms to different data sources.

Hi !
Do you know where can I find the OCA-6.0.5.35.0 version or higher ?
I downloaded the Oracle Forms&Reports 6i from Oracle site and even now (January 2003) it still includes in the package the OCA-6.0.5.29.0 which has a bug when accessing ODBC data sources.
Thanks in advance !

Hi,
in case you update Access Connection, you must already have also following updates installed:
- Power Management driver
- Power Manager
-Hotkey utility
- System interface driver
- Wifi driver <for AC 5.x it must be 13.x version>
<all of course with the latest version>
Once this all is installed, you can install AC .
Let me know, if you have also the latest version of the above driver/updates on the system prior to the installation of AC .In case not, just remove AC, install the above mentioned updates and then install AC 5.x

Connecting to db2 from report builder via odbc

Hi!
Some manuals said, it is possible to connect to DB2 from Oracle SQL*Plus (we have version 8.0.6.0.0)
and from Oracle Report Builder.(6.0.8.11.3)
User must install OCA (Oracle Open Client Adapter for ODBC (6.0.5.29.0)) and make ODBC entry.
I did it.
run with: plus80 db2user/db2pass@odbc:db2test
SQL*Plus made the connection, but with errors:

The error refers PUPBLD.SQL, but I think it is Oracle specific, don't help.
Worse, that it can't connect from Report Builder, it just throws error.
If I set OCA_DEBUG=TRUE in registry, I have bonus messages:
oca-30053 unsupported network call (oracle code: 3115)
oca-30002 ubofssw function not supported (1010)
I tried to connect to MsAcces too, but I got same errors.
Have you any idea, how can I solve this?
Thanks

I just add the master entry in the c:\Report\NET80\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora, and it works.
but I can't connect with the system or sys accounts, it work just with scott/tiger.

Using Forms through ODBC

Hi guys!
I've got a strong wish to use Forms6i, but... My desire is some strange. Because I want to use Oracle Forms and Reports to develop application for MSSQLServer. Please say to me it is possible. Should I tune Net8 for that purpose? If I should, please tell me how. Perhaps everything is easy and simple way exists for example: connecting string like this ODBC:ORCL:1251@scott/tiger or something like that.
I really appreciate if you help me.
I wonder if you send your response to me by e-mail. My address is [email protected]
Thanks a lot!

When you install Forms and Reports you need to install a component called the OCA (oracle Client Adaptor) as well. This will allow you to use ODBC: connect strings. See the oca_info.pdf file that gets installed with the OCA for more info.

Hi.
Does Developer 6.0 for DIGITAL UNIX support connectivity to
ODBC's databases?
By the way:
Do you know if exists an ODBC in Digital Unix for PROGRESS?
Thanks.

Developer 6.0 has Open Client Adapter (OCA) that enables you to
connect to any ODBC compliant data sources. You can use this
capability to connect ODBC databases providing that you need to
obtain the ODBC driver for Digital Unix platform. You can get
this driver from either Intersolv/Merant or Digital. There are
two favors of ODBC on Digital Unix: DataDirect Connect and
Sequelnk. You can find out details info of these drivers and
down load them from Digital/Compaq web site. I don't think
Developer 6.0 for Digital Unix is released yet.

JDBC/ODBC Connections using 9iDS?

I've just installed 9iDS and I noticed that there is no OCA installed. Has anyone with 9iDS tried using JDBC/ODBC to connect to a non-Oracle database?

Correct we are no longer shipping the OCA - You should be looking at the Oracle gateways as a way of providing non-oracle access for Forms and Reports.
http://technet.oracle.com/products/gateways/content.html
You can't plug ODBC or JDBC into Forms as an alternative to SQL*Net (unless you want to do a lot of 3gl coding and Transactional triggers)

Problems moving ODBC RDB driver from 2.1.13 to 3.x

Hello. I'm new.
I doubt that anyone can assist us in our situation, but I can't find any help anywhere else.
We've been using Forms (see info below, please) for years with ODBC for RDB driver version 2.10.13.00. We would like to move to ODBC for RDB driver version 3.x (3.2 is the latest, I believe) for several reasons.
However, when I run our application against a data source using the new driver, it crashes quite frequently when committing changes. I do not know why. I get a win32 exception dialog box, and nothing else (no forms dump file).
BUT when I turn on SQL Tracing, everything works just fine! When I turn on Driver Logging, it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, depending on which driver logging setting I use.
When it fails, the last line in the rdbodbc.log file is...
.._uCnvBinaryToChar 0X00000000
or...
bccSQLExecuteLckd
or...
the dml statement
.0X03A27DF8: INSERT INTO ORGANIZATION ( ORGANIZATION_ID,ORGANIZATION_NA
.ME,ORGANIZATION_NAME_2,ADDRESS_1,ADDRESS_2,CITY,STATE,ZIP_1,ZIP_2,EMAI
.L_ADDRESS,REMARK_1,REMARK_2 ) VALUES ( ?, ?,NVL( ?,' '),NVL( ?,' '),N
.VL( ?,' '),NVL( ?,' '),NVL( ?,'XX'),NVL( ?,0),NVL( ?,0),NVL( ?,' '),NV
.L( ?,' '),NVL( ?,' ') ) RETURNING DBKEY INTO ?
...depending on the driver logging setting.
One particular form always seems to crash on a simple insert statement within a block's On-Insert trigger. The block contains only items with a number or char data type. I have made a great many code variations and it doesn't make it work, but I can get it to work if I place an alert message right before the insert statement or a win_api_utility.sleep(...) statement. And as I mentioned before, it works fine if I turn on SQL Tracing.
So, I am not sure if there is some known issue with Forms and ODBC RDB driver 3.x that we can work around, or if Forms 6i just won't work with the newer driver. Our application contains hundreds of often complex forms, so any fix would have to be relatively simple to implement.
Thanks very much.
Forms 6i (6.0.8.13.0) - running client/server
Oracle RDB database (7.1)
Windows XP
OCA 6.0.5.35.0

Follow-up for anyone interested since apparently no one else in the internet world has this problem. :)
When I activate OCA_DEBUG_ERROR (i.e., set registry OCA_DEBUG_ERROR = TRUE under \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE), everything works, but I do see this debug message: "OCA-30002 ubofgrd function not supported", which does not get logged when I use the older driver. So, again, if I slow things down enough, it works, but it won't work without logging/tracing turned on. An OCA bug, I suppose?
