ODBC 8.1.6.1

I received the following error in the process of attaching an Access 2000 database. Internal error message: 3151ODBC - connection failed!

I've used various versions of Access to front-end Oracle tables and it generally functions quite well and can be totally transparent... just link to Oracle tables and use them same as Access. But, getting the right interfaces, providers and drivers to work so you can use clobs and blobs is just plain awful.

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

Excel-2007 cannot connect to Oracle ODBC data source, Control Panel can.


I cannot make an ODBC connection from Exce-2007 to Oracle work. I am an expert Excel and VBA user (since 1994) and I have frequently used Excel to access ODBC databases, including Oracle (I have done this with Excel-2003 both with worksheet queries and have written VBA ADO-connection routines). And even though in Excel-2007 a worksheet ODBC query is supposed to be easier to create than in previous version of Excel, my connection fails. Any suggestions and all help are welcome and much appreciated.
DETAILS


1) What is my system? I am using Excel-2007 on Windows Vista x64 and Oracle server v.11g on my computer (all this is on my computer, no network issues).
2) Why use Excel with Oracle at all? I use Excel-2007 to access Oracle rather than Access-2007 (or any other application like TOAD, etc.) because I do engineering calculations with the data stored in Oracle. These calculations are easier done in Excel (I suppose that one alternative to this could be to use some sql or Access to get the data from the database, then store it as plain vanilla CSV file, then open this file in Excel, then do the math (the math involves complex optimisation algorithms), then save the results as CSV, then use some sql or Access to put the data back into the database. Howwever this does not strike me as a quick or neat solution. And after all Excel has been designed to access ODBC databases, so why not use it?)
3) What do I do in Excel-2007 that won't work? I create an ODBC link to Oracle that does not work. In Excel-2007 this is straightforward:

<ul>
<li>define an ODBC connection (Data tab --> From other sources --> From data connection wizard);</li>
<li>define a query on the worksheet -- that's it, this is all!</li>
</ul>

I start with creating an ODBC connection:
a) I choose an ODBC data source type: ODBC DSN
b) Excel-2007 displays the list of the available ODBC data sources. I see in it my Oracle database name and I select it.
c) Excel-2007 displays the Data Link Properties:
- the "Provider" has a list of the OLE DB drivers with preselected "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers". I keep this default selection.
- the "Connection" tab has a connection string "DSN=<my database name>" which I keep, it also has fields for the user name and the password, which I fill with the correct credentials.
- Finally there is a button "Test Connection", which when I click produces the following error message:
"Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. 
Unespecified error"

4) Additional food for thought:
a) In the above walk-through the only data, which I type, are the user name and password, everything else is selected from lists offered by Excel-2007, hence any possibility of typos being the cause of the problem can safely be discarded.
b) I can test the ODBC driver in the Control Panel and it shows that it can connect to the Oracle database:
- in Control Panel --> Admin Tools --> Data Sources (ODBC) on the "User DSN" tab I can see the list of the available ODBC data sources (same list as in Excel-2007, point 3b above) with the name of my database in it;
- selecting the name of my database from the list of the sources and clicking "Configure" button opens a tab with Data Source Name (same as in Excel-2007), TNS Service Name and User ID. I enter <user name>/<password> and click "Test Connection" button. A message "Connection successful" appears (just for a test I enter incorrect user credentials and "Unable to connect" message appears)
BOTTOM LINE


The procedure for using an ODBC connection from Excel is very simple, in the past I have created and used such connections numerous times with Excel-2003 and earlier on Win-XP and earlier. But now on Excel-2007 and Vista-x64 I cannot make it work.
Also, testing an ODBC connection driver is really easy and simple to be done in the Control Panel. There testing the same ODBC connection, which fails in Excel-2007, results in success.
I am frustrated by the simplicity of the problem and yet the persistant error. I have lost now two full days in failed attempts to make the simple procedure work and in searching the internet for answers.
All help is highly appreciated <img class="emoticon" src="images/emoticons/happy.gif" border="0" alt="" width="16" height="16" />,

Did you find the solution to your problem?
If not, I think I may know.
Excel 2007 is a 32-bit application.
When installing 32-bit applications in a 64-bit environment, the "default" location is:
C:\Program files (x86)\...
Excel then launches from this location.
However, when it connects to Oracle and passes the name of the calling program, Oracle attempts to "interpret" the value of (x86) as if
the value within the parenthesis are being passed as a reference. Of course, iOracle doesn't find anything, so the result is (),
and then it cannot return the connection info back to the calling application.
I corrected it by installing Excel in C:\Program Files\, and once launched from that location, it works the same as on the 32-bit machines.
However, at my location, they are FORCING Excel to be installed in the(x86) location.
What I'm trying to discover now is:
Is it possible to flag Oracle to NOT process the embedded variables?
Or, is it possible to assign a variable in Oracle such that x86 = "(x86)", so that the end result is viable?
Have you had any luck with your installation?
thanks,
Paul

Informix ODBC driver error while creating a view in Designer

I nedd to ceate a view in a universe (Business Objects XI R2) that is connected to an Informix database. I use the 3.34 ODBC Informix driver.
When I write the select statement (select column from table) and check the syntax I have the following error:
"Exception: DBD, [Informix][Informix ODBC Driver][Informix]A syntax error has occurred.State: 42000"
Is there anybody who has solved this problem??
Thanks in advance to anyone who can give me hints on how to solve problem.
Fabrizio

Hi Fabrizio,
The error state 42000 indicates that there is a syntax error or access violation. If you are using an Informix native client connection then add the following parameter <Parameter Name>"Force SQLExecute">Always</Parameter> in the informix.sbo file. Restart Designer and then try to create a derived table with a simple select statement.
If you are using an ODBC connection, then add the above mentioned parameter in the Generic section of odbc.sbo file.

Windows Vista ODBC install failure error 126

I'm attempting to set up ODBC connections using Client 10.2.0.3 in Windows Vista 32-bit as administrator, following instructions in MetaLink Note 415166.1. I'm not successful and get error code 126. I've found similar complaints on web searches, but cannot resolve this. Can someone help?
A pop-up box reads:
"Errors found:
Could not load the setup or translator library."
In DNS data source list, "Oracle in Oracle10g_Home" shows SQORA32.dll dated 11/16/2006.
In regedit, HKLM\software\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\Oracle in Oracle10g_Home lists the driver as C:\oracle\10g\SQORA32.dll. I checked, and it's there. Setup is C:\oracle\10g\SQORA32s.dll. It's also there.
The service names exist in net manager, and connection tests work fine. Thanks in advance for any offers of help.

Try to copy in the instantclient's directory mfc71.dll and msvcr71.dll.
I'm not sure if both are required, but it worked for me.I tried your suggestion but got the same result. This time I can provide more details on the message. The dialog box is titled SQORAS32.DLL and the message is "An unsupported operation was attempted."
I had to click the dialog 3 times, then the Oracle ODBC Driver Configuration dialog opened on the workarounds tab. The drop-down box for the TNS service name works. Clicking the tabs for Application, Oracle, or SQL Server Migration all pop up the same SQORA32.DLL error dialog with the vague message.
Thanks, anyway.

Query update on each iteration problem (MS SQL Sever / ODBC / Native Driver

Hello,
I�ve been working to learn some Java and now JDBC over the past 10 or so months.
I think I have a general understanding of how to perform queries and work with data using JDBC. However, I�ve run into a problem. I�m trying to do a query of a set of data in a database based on the value of a status column. I want to loop over the messages and perform various functions with the data then update their status in the database. It�s preferable to do these 250 to 1000 rows at a time, but no more and no less.
I�m connecting to MS SQL Server 2000, currently with ODBC. I�ve also tried it with the Java SQL Server 2000 drivers provided by Microsoft with the same results.
I�ve found that I can do a one table query and loop though it with a while (rs.next()) {�} and run an Update statement with executeUpdate on each iteration without any problems, no matter the number of rows returned in query.
I have not been able to use the updateString and updateRow inside the while loop. I keep getting errors like this at the line with the updateRow():
Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Row update failed.
This occurs no mater how many rows I select, 1 or more.
The real problem I�ve been having is that the query I need to loop though joins across several tables and returns some rows from some of those tables. This only seems to work when I query for 38 or less selected rows and I use an Update statement with executeUpdate on each iteration. The updateString and updateRow methods never work. Any number of rows selected greater than 38 causes a deadlock where the Update is waiting for the select to compete on the server and the Update can�t proceed until the Select is complete.
As I stated above I�ve tried both ODBC and the native SQL Server driver with the same results. I have not tried any other databases, but that�s moot as my data is already in MS SQL.
Questions:
How can I avoid or get around this 38 row limit without selecting each row, one at a time?
What am I doing wrong with the updateString and updateRow?
Is there a better approach that anyone can suggest?
Here�s some sample code with the problem:
import java.sql.*;
public class db1{
     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
          Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
          String url = "jdbc:odbc:eBrochure_live";
          Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, "sa", "d3v3l0p");
          Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
          Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://dcm613u2\\dcm613u2_dev:1433", "sa", "d3v3l0p");
          Statement stmt = con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
          Statement stmt2 = con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
          stmt.executeUpdate("USE [myDatabase]");
          stmt2.executeUpdate("USE [myDatabase]");
          String qGetMessages = "SELECT TOP 250 t1.messageUUID, t1.subjectHeader, t2.emailAddress as toAddress " +
          "FROM APP_Messages as t1 JOIN APP_addressBook_contacts as t2 " +
          "     On t1.toContactID = t2.contactID " +
          "WHERE t1.statusID = 'queued'";
          ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(qGetMessages);
          while (rs.next()) {
               String messageUUID = rs.getString("messageUUID");
               String subjectHeader = rs.getString("subjectHeader");
               System.out.println(messageUUID + " " + subjectHeader);
               String updateString = "UPDATE APP_Messages " +
                    "SET statusID = 'sent' " +
                    "WHERE messageUUID = '" + messageUUID + "' ";
               stmt2.executeUpdate(updateString);
          con.close();
Thanks for the help,
Doug Hughes

// sorry, ps.close() should be outside of if condition
String sql = "UPDATE APP_Messages SET statusID = 'sent' WHERE messageUUID = ?";
Statement statement = con.createStatement();
PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement(sql);
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery("your select SQL");
if ( rs.next() )
ps.clearParameters();
ps.setString(1, rs.getString("your column name"));
ps.executeUpdate();
ps.close();
rs.close();
statement.close();

Cannot perform a clean install of CF 10 - ODBC Agent and ODBC Server are not in Services - Win2k8 R2

I've tried to perform a clean install on a Win2k8 R2 x64 server several times and I can't seem to get it to install.
I was upgrading from CF 9, which took several attempts. I eventually got CF 10 working and running with the latest updates. But the server would only run for about 15 minutes and everything would come to a screaching hault. ColdFusion pages would fail to load with no error. The pages would hang and wait for the server to respond, which it never did. Restarting IIS would fix the problem.
I have about 20 CF sites on the machine. I came accross an article that talked about pool sizes, etc. I ended up trying a few things with the Web Server Configuration Tool, and as I was adding/deleting servers, I got an error that some application unexpectedly quit, but it wasn't the wsconfig tool. This happened about 3 times as I was deleting servers that I had previously added. Then I tried loading the CF Admin and I got a 500.0 internal server error.
So I bit the bullet and figured I would start all over again. I uninstalled CF 10... now there's nothing on the machine. Re-installed CF 10, and I get the same 500.0 Internal Server Error. I uninstalled, restarted, installed... same thing. Then I found an error in the event viewer that reads:
The description for Event ID 0 from source ColdFusion 10 ODBC Server cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
ColdFusion 10 ODBC Server error: 0
StartServiceCtrlDispatcher Error!
Then I found out that neither the ColdFusion 10 ODBC Agent or the ColdFusion 10 ODBC Server have been installed... at least they're not showing up in the list of services. msconfig also shows that they don't exist at all. I tried reinstalling several times and I can't get them to show up.
PS: It's 6:15 AM and I've been working on this since 10 PM last night. I NEED HELP! Thanks!

Hello,
Once you move your application from any prior version of ColdFusion to ColdFusion 10, you will have to tune your application, as the architecture changed from JRun to Tomcat.
You can refer to the article http://blogs.coldfusion.com/post.cfm/tuning-coldfusion-10-iis-connector-configuration for parameters, that needs to be tuned appropriately to make CF connector works flawlessly.
Hope this helps

Anit Kumar

Hi,
The OLITE forum (Database Mobile Server (inc. legacy Database Lite) would be a better place to post your issue. This forum deals with the ODBC driver that connects to a "normal" Oracle database.
Hope it helps,

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

Nenhum registro concordante encontrado (ODBC -2028) - Em NFS

Boa Tarde a todos,
Estou tentando inserir nota fiscal de saída via DI API, e hoje ocorreu este erro em 4 pedidos:
"Nenhum registro concordante encontrado (ODBC -2028)"
Outros pedidos foram gerados e continuou a funcionar normalmente a inserção via DI API, apenas para 4 pedidos que ocorreu este erro, o serviço que gera as notas fiscais via DI API, esta instalado a mais de 6 meses em produção, e apenas hoje ocorreu este erro.
Li documentos, e fiz pesquisas do fórum, e descobri que poderia ser falta de alguma conta contábil, mas verifiquei e todas as contas estão inseridas corretamente, desconto, vendedores, itens, até mesmo já inseri outros pedidos iguais, e eles foram faturados.
Gostaria de saber se alguém sabe como solucionar para faturar os pedidos, ou até mesmo de como evitar este tipo de problema.
Abraços

Bom dia Kleber!
Kleber tive exatamente o mesmo problema que você, no meu caso eu estava trabalhando com uma despesa acessória de Fretes CIF (que o destinatário paga) como fiz esse lançamento, e na parametrização da despesa acessória (adminitração - Configurações - Gerais - Despesas Acessórias) eu não tinha colocado a conta de receita, somente a de Despesa quando eu ia inserir qualquer documento de venda, ele mostrava essa mensagem, fiz a correção da parametrização, colocando a conta de despesa para essa despesa acessória e a situação foi corrigida, e depois olhando a contabilização e efetuada constatei que o lançamento ficou correto também, espero ter ajudado,

Unable to configure ODBC data source through odi

Hi,
Let me explain the architecture first.
We have three machines
1. OpenVMS machine on which connx server is running for RMS files, say SRC
2. Windows machine on which ODI Data Studio 11.1.1, Say WRKSTN, This has connx client installed
3. Target is HP-UX on which SYBASE is running, say TRGT. On target we have installed connx client and ODI Stand alone agent and agnt01 is the name of the agent that is running
My Requirement is,
I need to pull the data from SRC and load it into TRGT using the ODI agent agnt01, through ODBC data connectivity.
If i configure DSN on my WRKSTN they the agnt01 is unable to identify. If i configure a DSN on HP-UX machine then i am not able to specify that in ODI Sun odbc: Jdbc bridge driver.
Kindly help me as to how i can resolve this
Thanks,
Rajesh H

Configuring DSN on windows workstation would not help as the agent is not running on that machine. The DSN has to be configured on the machine where the agent is running on which you want to execute the flow. What error are you getting on trying to specify the DSN name on HPUX in the data server jdbc url?

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...

Using Oracle ODBC Gateway connecting to a remote Oracle database

Oracle 11gR2
RHEL 6.4
Has anyone use the Oracle ODBC Gateway to connect to another Oracle database? Any issues with that configuration? Where do I get the ODBC drivers for Linux?
(I know, "why not use a dblink?" -- well that would be against company security policies)

Hi,
From the Oracle point of view we support using DG4ODBC for Oracle to Oracle connections. However, we have not actually tested it as DG4ODBC is primarily designed for access to non-Oracle databases.
How DG4ODBC will work between Oracle databases depends on the ODBC driver and what that supports. You will need an ODBC Oracle driver which you can get from various suppliers including Oracle but also vendors such as DataDirect, Easysoft etc. You could try a Google search.
You say you do not want to use database links but that is how DG4ODBC is used, You cannot do -
sqlplus user/password@dg4odbc_oracle
Once Dg4ODBC is setup and configured as in this note - if you are using Linux 64-bit -
How to Configure DG4ODBC on 64bit Unix OS (Linux, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX Itanium) to Connect to Non-Oracle Databases Post Install (Doc ID 561033.1)
then in the Oracle database you create a database link and select from tables in the other Oracle database -
select * from table@dg4odbc_db_link ;

Need help to generate "where current of" from ODBC

Hi
I am trying to develop a small stand-alone program which uses Oracle Drivers.
I have installed PERL and came up with a code (structure) like below
But I dont know how to use the current cursor reference with a statement
This is what I came up with
use Win32::ODBC;
my($db) = new Win32::ODBC("dsn=TEST_DSN; uid=TEST; pwd=TEST");
$db->SetStmtOption(SQL_CURSOR_TYPE,SQL_CURSOR_KEYSET_DRIVEN);
$db->SetStmtOption(SQL_ROWSET_SIZE,10);
$db->SetCursorName("abc");
$cursth = $db->prepare('SELECT * FROM pos_update_table testupdate where val=1 FOR UPDATE');
$cursth->execute;
print $db->GetCursorName;
while ($cursth->fetch) {
$updsth = $db->prepare("update pos_update_table set val=val+100 WHERE CURRENT OF $cursth->{CursorName}");
$updsth->execute;
$db->commit;
$db->Close();
Thanks in advance
PS: The table has one row and the intention is to update the row using where current of clause.

Thanks Justin for your reply.
I am aware of I dont need a cursor for updating single row..but from one of the applications (which uses ORACLE ODBC) i get this ODBC error "no rows updated" if I hit on save button twice (from the application)
The ODBC trace shows "where current of" clause and in the database (ORACLE 9.2) shows "update tablename set ...where rowid = "
Now I am trying to test the ODBC and trying to generate the same Statements (with where current of)
and fyi: PERL/WIN32:ODBC supports where current of coding-style (source: http://www.codeproject.com/books/1578700671.asp ..search for 'where current of')
The point is I dont want to manually grab the rowid and use it for update..Instead I want the ODBC write its own statement
Thanks

ODBC, bulk inserts and dynamic SQL

I am writing an application running on Windows NT 4 and using the oracle ODBC driver (8.01.05.00, that inserts many rows at a time (10000+) into an oracle 8i database.
At present, I am using a stored procedure to insert each row into the database. The stored procedure uses dynamic SQL because I can only determine the table and field names at run time.
Due to the large number of records, it tends to take a while to perform all the inserts. I have tried a number of solutions such as using batches of SQL statements (e.g. "INSERT...;INSERT...;INSERT..."), but the oracle ODBC driver only seems act on the first statement in the batch.
I have also considered using the FOR ALL statement and SQL*Loader utility.
My problem with FOR ALL is that I'm not sure it works on dynamic SQL statements and even if it did, how do I pass an array of statements to the stored procedure.
I ruled out SQL* Loader because I could not find a way to invoke it it from an ODBC statement. Secondly, it requires the spawining of a new process.
What I am really after is something similar the the SQL Server (forgive me!) BULK INSERT statement where you can simply create an input file with all the records you want to insert, and pass it along in an ODBC statement such as "BULK INSERT <filename>".
Any ideas??

Hi,
I faced this same situation years ago (Oracle 7.2!) and had the following alternatives.
1) Use a 3rd party tool such as Sagent or CA Info pump (very pricey $$$)
2) Use VisualC++ and OCI to hook into the array insert routines (there are examples of these in the Oracle Home).
3) Use SQL*Loader (the best performance, but no real control of what's happening).
I ended up using (2) and used the Rouge Wave dbtools.h++ library to speed up the development.
These days, I would also suggest you take a look at Perl on NT (www.activestate.com) and the DBlib modules at www.perl.org. I believe they will also do bulk loading.
Your problem is that your program is using Oracle ODBC, when you should be using Oracle OCI for best performance.

After Upgrade OBI 10g to 11g:Odbc driver returned an error - SQLExecDirectW

Hi all,
for an OBI upgrade from 10g to 11g I used a RPD and Webcatalog based on a remote machine other than my local machine. Firstable I am making the tests on a Linux Virtual machine, which uses the Sample Lite version from Oracle.
I made the following steps:
1. I upgraded the RPD and Webcatalog. It worked without any errors.
2. I set the static variable BI_EE_HOME via Administration Tool to the path in the Linux machine.
--> Here I am not sure if the set path is correct. It begins with: \bi\ ...\instances\...\coreapplication_obis1 (... : I can't mention here the whole path name).
--> When the OBI Server is installed in Windows, the mentioned static variable points to something like 'C:\<install folder>\...\coreapplication_obis1'
--> Question: is the begin of my set path correct?. I set that pointing to the Linux OBI Server, because the OBI Server is installed on Linux.
Problem:
After login as the user in RPD: Administrator/<Password for my upgraded RPD> I can see the links in the Catalog and the Dashboards links. But I can not see any values, any Reports when going through the links.
For example when trying to see a Dashboard with date 12.02.2011it happens:
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
Status: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] general error.
[nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS.
[nQSError: 43119] Query Failed:
[nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 12154, message: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
at OCI call OCIServerAttach.
[nQSError: 17014] Could not connect to Oracle database. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT "Dimension_-_My Dimension"."MyDimension" saw_0 FROM "Accounting (ACC)" WHERE "Dimension_-_My Dimension"."MyDimension" LIKE 'J%' ORDER BY saw_0
I think its not retrieving the data from the remote database, because I don't have the data of the remote database in my local. I think the OBI Server still is pointing to the local virtual machine Oracle database.
Can anybody tell me what happens here and how can I solve this problem?.
I would appreciate any help....

Hi gerardnico,
I've tried many things and did as in your articles, but I don't have success with that.
These are the things I did:
1. I searched for the file tnsnames.ora in my Linux virtual machine. I could find it in many paths:
/.../Oracle_BI1/network/admin/samples/tnsnames.ora
/.../oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/hs/admin/tnsnames.ora.sample
/.../oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
/.../oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin/samples/tnsnames.ora
/.../oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin/temp/tnsnames.ora
/.../usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin
in the last path I found the listener.ora as well.
2. I took the tnsnames.ora from the last path, because the ORACLE_HOME points to /.../usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server
3. I edited the tnsnames.ora this way:
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File:
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host_of_the_remote_machine)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = database_name_of_the_remote_machine)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = database_SID_of_the_remote_machine)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
4. I made a backup of the tnsnames.ora in path /.../Oracle_BI1/network/admin/samples/tnsnames.ora
and copied the tnsnames.ora from /.../usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin to the Oracle_BI1 path
5. I set the TNS_ADMIN to /.../usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin
6. I restarted the BI Server
No success in what I did. The error is still there.
7. I've tried also: sqlplus database_user_remote_machine/database_password_remote_machine@database_SID_remote_machine
I didn't get the connection:
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Thu Jun 16 04:36:10 2011

What am I doing wrong here?. I am still thinking that I need the import of the database.
Additional SID=Service-Name=Database-name in the remote machine.
