Can't Create the ODBC connection for Oracle 10g

Hi,
I am working with Oracle 10g Database Release 2 in windows XP professional. I am trying to create an ODBC connection for oracle but become failure because its generating the following errors:
system error code 998
could not locate the setup or translator library
Please help me how can I solve this problem and create the ODBC connection for oracle 10g database.
Best Regards,

The odbc driver config routine will search directories listed in PATH variable for necessary libraries (Client dll's). If some library fails to load (from e.g. oraoci*.dll or oraclient10.dll) it will probably error out, as in your case.
Are you creating the odbc dsn on the databse server host or on some other machine? I.e. are you using the db host as a client or not?

How to create ODBC connection between Oracle 10g and MS SQL Server

Hi,
Can someone help us with the steps to create an ODBC connection between Oracle APPS using Oracle 10g database and MS SQL Server.
Requirement is to extract the transactional data from MS SQL Server on a daily basis and dump it into Oracle tables for an interface to be run. Currently it is being done through Dataloader tool which we feel is causing the data issue with Arabic characters. We want to create the ODBC directly between Oracle and MS SQL Server and check if the data is being pulled correctly.
The data is in sql server 2000 which has data in Arabic_CI_AS character set which is moved to Oracle 10.2.0.3 database with characterset AL32UTF8. The table data is moved to oracle using the dataloader 3.6 standard edition licensed version. We cannot change the character set of Sql Server 2000.
Please help
Thanks
Shanil

Hi,
If you're trying to PULL data from SQLServer into an Oracle database, you wouldnt use Oracle ODBC driver for that, so you may want to post in the Heterogeneous Services forum instead:
Heterogeneous Connectivity
If you're trying to PUSH data from SQLServer into an Oracle database, you could use ODBC but most folks use OLEDB for that, and the following note on MOS should help:
How to Create a Sql Server Linked Server With The Oracle Provider for OLE DB (Doc ID 191368.1)
As with any NLS related issue, the first thing to do is dump the codepoints of the data in the Oracle database to see if it is stored validly, rather than relying on what the data "looks like" from some tool or other. It's best to check a single row, with only a few characters in it if you can, and you can do that via
SELECT DUMP(<columname>,1016) FROM <tablename> WHERE ...
Hope it helps,
Greg

ODBC Connectivity in OWB 10g

Hi,
I have one of my data source as AS400. I have setup a DSN to connect to this data source. I want to know how I can connect using OWB 10g to the AS400 data source using this DSN.
Is there any other way that I could connect to the AS400 data source using OWB 10g without using any additional drivers which involve a cost :-) ?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Harshad Borgaonkar

Hi Harshad,
You can do this with the heterogeneous services.
http://www.datadirect.com/developer/odbc/oracle_heterogeneous/index.ssp
has a good description of what to do.
You'll have to setup the heterogeneous service on an Oracle database on the same platform for which you have ODBC drivers for, presumably Windows.
You should then be able to connect to this database in OWB and create a connection under Databases -> Other -> ODBC or Other.
Cheers,
Colin

ODBC connection to oracle 10g express

Hi , please i need help in connecting a MS Access file under odbc (System Dsn) to oracle 10g express and how to be accessed in oracle forms 6i , but please if any one can help me by a step by step and more details about that problem i will be so grateful .
Thanks...!!

I will explain what I did.Always a good start...
and click on OK button. This way I added new connection. After that I was trying to rename the DSN connection name to SOURCE(Oracle_10g). there is no rename button. So i thought I remove this connection and add again. But when I try to add it. It will not add it. I follow the same procedure as i mentioned above. But finally when I click on OK button. it is not showing any new connection name under User Data Sources list. It is not giving any error messages.The ODBC Manager software is used to define and maintain ODBC connection aliases (aka DSN ). It enumerates the list of available drivers, interact with the driver when you want to use it to create an alias, and then stores the alias when defined.
If this does not work, and the alias is not stored, it is not an Oracle XE problem, but something weird with the ODBC Manager.. or how you go about defining the alias/DSN.
You can create user or system DSN's. You need certain privs (in your Windows account) to enable ODBC Admin to write the required changes to disk for that DSN. Etc.
I suggest focusing on these aspects as I strongly doubt that Oracle itself is part of the problem in this case.

Access 2007 ODBC connect to Oracle 10g

I have configured MSAccess 2007 on my laptop with a ODBC data source to my Oracle Database and I can link to tables in the Oracle database and everything works.
I have placed the Access Database on a 64 bit server running Window 2003 r2 Enterprise x64 edition.
I have both the 32 bit Oracle 10g client and the 64 bit client installed on the machine.
I have configured a 32bit ODBC data source using the 32 bit Oracle ODBC driver.
When I click on the test connection button while setting up the data source it reports "Connection Successful"
I have configured the registry entires (for 32 bit and 64bit) with TNS_ADMIN =the location where we have our sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora files.
These files were configured to support the applications which run on this same server and they all function properly.
When I attempt to create a link table in Access, I select the datasource and I enter the password I receive an ORA-12154 error.
Any suggestions ?
Thank You

Or your sqlnet.ora doesn't match the other with regard to DEFAULT_DOMAIN
Or your password has an "@" in it.

ODBC Error while Siebel Server try to connect to Oracle 10G

We have managed to get through with the configuration of siebel server on HP Unix. However before we get to the Database configuration, we are encountering errors with ODBC connection to oracle 10g database. We are able to connect to oracle using sql plus but odbc connection is failing. We verified for patches, missing files, directory access rights - but no clue as of now.
Our error says:
Logging into "ENTSIA_DEV_DAN" as "sadmin"....
/user/lib/hpux32/dld.so: Unable to find library 'libclntsh.so'.
ODBC error IM0003 in SQLConnect:
(DataDirect){ODBC lib} specified driver could not be loaded
Unable to login using specified odbc parameters
This has become a show stopped for us and we are strugging with this for the past three days without much direction.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
I guess your DataDirect Driver which gets registered during Database Configuration has some problems.
Can you check whether the DSN is using the proper Driver?
Also, the username through which you are logging in to start Siebel Services must have proper rights.
Many times on Windows platform i have noticied this error in ODBC due to improper user rights. If the rights are not proper, the DataDirect Driver fails to get loaded & throws similar error.

Excel import on Oracle Linux - How to create an ODBC Connection

Hi,
We have Oracle BI EE on Oracle Linux. We need to create an ODBC DNS and import tables to Admin tool.
How would you create a ODBC connection inside Linux to Microsoft excel file using unixodbc. What drivers we need.
Please let us know.
Thanks!
Nilaksha.

See this post here: Re: [NQODBC][SQL_STATE: HY000][nQSError: 100[nQSError: 43093][nQSError: 16023]
You need to find an Excel ODBC driver for Linux. The ones that come with OBIEE won't read Excel as far as I know.
For info on creating an ODBC connection for OBIEE on Linux check the manual or search this forum. You don't need unixodbc for it.

Multiple Connection Pools in OBIEE 10g

Hi Experts,
My question is as follows:
Let's say in the RPD I create 2 connection pools in 1 database schema. I understand that that 1 connection pool should be dedicated for repository & session variables, and 1 connection pool dedicated to physical queries on the table.
How does OBIEE know which connection pool to use for the physical tables? I haven't been able to find anything in the RPD that tells a table which connection pool to use when running a query in answers.
Example:
Connection Pool A (used to generate session variables)
Connection Pool B (in 'theory' used for physical tables)
What is stopping answers from using Connection Pool A? What is forcing answers to use connection pool B?
An answer in OBIEE 10g is fine.
Thanks!
John

When a connection pool is named in an initialization query then that connection pool is always used even if the user is explicitly denied permission to use the connection pool.
This means that a connection pool used for initialization which does not have permissions for any user or user group can occur in any order in the connection pool list. But if it has permissions for a specific user or user group then it must be placed after any general query connection pools for the same user or group to ensure that it is not used for general purpose queries.

OBIEE 11g ODBC connectivity error

Hi all,
I am getting the following error when I tried to access a simple query through Answers.
"*Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).*
*Error Details*
*Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P*
*State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS.

*SQL Issued: SELECT s_0, s_1, s_2 FROM ( SELECT 0 s_0, "BISample"."Product"."BRAND" s_1, "BISample"."Target"."REVENUE" s_2 FROM "BISample" ) djm*"
What I did was
1. Create a DSN 'orcl', 32 bit Oracle ODBC driver. Tested and worked against the Oracle database.
2. Import metadata using Local, ODBC 3.5 and DSN = orcl
3. Build a simple BMM and subject area
4. In the phyiscal layer, right click on a table, and select view data/update row count. Error with message "The connection has failed"
5. Hoping for the best, create a simple query in answer and got the above odbc driver error in results tab.
Interestingly, if I edit the connection pool and use OCI (my SID is also orcl), then everything works fine.
I'm new to OBIEE and hope someone can tell me if I have missed a step or make any mistakes!
Thanks!

Han Kiat

Hi All,
I am able to connect SQL Server database with OBIEE 11g RPD offline and imported metadata and verified update row count/view data but when i was trying to publish the same RPD the data is not returning also "update row count/view data" is giving and error "The connection has failed."

Environment:
OBIEE 11g/WLS 10.3.3/Oracle database 11g installed on RHL 5
Client tools are installed on local Vista 32 bit system.
Oracle database is working fin, where as SQL Server is giving issues.
You want me to create a ODBC connection in RHL 5 server to connect to SQL Server ? i am little bit confused here how to create !
same time i have created ODBC for oracle apps database and imported and able to view data in RPD when i am in Online mode.
When i open RPD in online mode and trying to import the data i dont have access to local machine ODBC's which is expected and if i change to "Remote Server" nothing is showing here.
Appreciate your comments on the above.
Thanks

OBIEE 10g , ODBC created is not listed in OBIEE

HI Experts,
I have OBIEE10 g in a server. I have Sql server in the same server. I have created an ODBC connection to connect to SQL server.
In rpd when i import metadata, the odbc connection is not get reflected in OBIEE. Please suggest on this
Thanks & Regards
Mahesh

Try what Srini told as first option
Go to run command and give odbcad32 and press enter it will take to data sources
Here u can check the DSN
If it is visible here obviously it must display there
Do let me know if u still have the problem
Thanks

ODBC Connection Pooling not working with 10g On Windows 2003

I have a bog standard Windows 2003 machine and installed Oracle 10g on it. It seems that the ODBC Connection pooling is not working.
I am using ASP and every time I try and render a simple page it is taking 4-5 seconds which is the time necessaru to create a database connection. ( Machine is 2.8 Ghz Xeon with 2 gigs of Ram)
The following VB Code can be used to test that the pooling is not working. It creates 2 connections to the database. On oracle 10g on windows 2003, it takes 5 seconds to create the first connection, and another 5 seconds to create the second connection.
When you run the same program on windows 2000 and oracle 9, the first connection take 3 seconds, and the second 0.05 seconds. ( The shorter time being due to the connection pooling)
time1=timer()
set conn=createobject("adodb.connection")
Conn.Open "dsn=oracleDSN;uid=yourusername;pwd=yourpassword"
time2=timer()
msgbox time2-time1
conn.close
set conn=nothing
time1=timer()
set conn=createobject("adodb.connection")
Conn.Open "dsn=oracleDSN;uid=yourusername;pwd=yourpassword"
time2=timer()
msgbox time2-time1
conn.close

ODBC Connection Pooling is controlled by the ODBC Driver Manager and defaults to off for every driver on every platform. Have you enabled connection pooling for your driver in the ODBC Data Source Administrator?

How to create odbc (dsn) connection for OBIEE AND INFOR in unix environment

Hi,
we are establishing OBIA in Unix environment we set all the things fine but we are getting problem how to create ODBC connection
for INFORMATICA AND OBIEE. I searched some blogs thats telling there is a ODBC.INI file we need to configure.
but i am not getting clear idea to give parameters and it will not showing any TNSNAME ..........etc
please any body give clear idea about how to create ODBC connection and LOCATION of that file AND parameter which i need to give.
Thanks,
charan....

Hi Dpka,
yah i already checked that one but i have not find out any parameter for TNS NAME information.
is OBIEE connected to ORACLE DATA BASE without giving TNS information?............in UNIX OPERATING SYSTEM.
pls give me the clear idea abt how to connect OBIEE, INFORMATICA to ORACLE DATA BASE IN UNIX ENVRNMENT

Connecting SQL Analysis Services 2005 cube with obiee 10g

Hello experts,
I'm trying to link an SQL Analysis Services 2005 cube with obiee 10g.
In Oracle BI Administration, when I choose File -> Import -> From
Multi-dimensional, I have to fill the next gaps:
Provider Type: Analysis Services 2005
URL: ***********
User: blank
Password: blank
Before to do that, I need to create the URL path.
To create the URL, I have followed this link.
http://erpthings.blogspot.com/2008/08/obiee-connection-to-msas-2005-
cube.html
But, it hasn't worked because when I was trying to configure the HTTP
access to SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services, we have to perform a test to ensure that it has been well configured. In IIS -> WebSites -> Default WebSites -> olap, we should browse the document called "msmdpump.dll" and this should show an xml document, but it doesn't.
Thanks!

Hi Alex
It sounds like your MS data pump might not be configured correctly. First ensure that is working before trying to put the values into OBIEE. Don't worry about the 500 error - I get that too instead of an XML page.
You can read a bit more about SSAS support on my blog here:
http://total-bi.com/2010/12/obiee-sql-server-analysis-services-cubes/
Here's the link to Microsoft's description of setting up msmdpump.dll

Can OBIEE 10G connect to a SQL Server database (2005)?

We have Oracle BI running already. We have also a SQL Server database running. Now there is requirement that asks to connect to the SQL Server and directly send some SQL quires to the SQL Server and get result back and display it in answers. I know the normal process should be set ETL to load the data from the SQL Server to OBIEE and from there the report can be built. So I am not sure is this doable?

Hi Srini,
These is the steps I have done:
1. open Oracle BI administration tool
2. create a new repository
3. select import from database, and specify the ODBC (connection to the SQL Server). It asked me to choose tables to import. I then selected one table. Now I can see the connection pool and the table being created in physical. I saved it.
4. I then goes to BI interactive dashboard -> answers-> Direct Database Request. In the connection pool I entered the name of the connection pool in step 3. And entered some simple query and I got:
error : Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
error : State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27022] Unresolved Connection Pool object: "asepostest_pool". (HY000)
error : SQL Issued: {call NQSGetQueryColumnInfo('EXECUTE PHYSICAL CONNECTION POOL asepostest_pool select * from branch')}
Should I modify NQSConfig.INI in C:\OracleBI\server\Config\ to make it point to my new repository? Like this?
Star
=
asepostest1.rpd, DEFAULT;
But then I couldn't restart BI server.
