Can't create ODBC connection in Windows Server 2012R2

I just finished installing the instant client & odbc connection on Windows Server 2008R2. I then attempted to perform the same installation on a new Windows Server 2012R2 instance and encountered the following issue.
After extracting the contents of the 64bit instant client & odbc files into c:\oracle\instantclient_12_1, adding this to the path statement, and adding a TNS_ADMIN environmental variable, I successfully ran odbc_install.exe from an admin cmd window. I then opened the 64bit ODBC Data Source Administrator, clicked add, selected the Oracle in instantclient_12_1, and clicked finish. As soon as I did so, I received the following error: "The setup routines for the Oracle in instantclient_12_1 ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 126: The specified module could not be found. (c:\oracle\instantclient_12_1\SQORAS32.dll)"
I uninstalled the odbc client (odbc_uninstall.exe) and attempted again with the 32bit version & 32bit odbc configuration screen. I get the exact same result with 32bit as I do with 64bit.
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Nevermind. Apparently I needed the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package for the correct DLLs

Hi,
I am running Netweaver 7 and ERP2005.
J2EE support pack is 9. The sap note that you mentioned is for NW2004 and our system is running on NW2004s.
Now I am trying to reconfigure the sld. In case if you can suggest me another solution, I will be very happy to try that out...
Thanks for your reply

Sybase ODBC Connection Issue in Windows Server 2008 R2

Hi ,
We have three sybase odbc connection in Windows Server 2008 R2 server . One connection is not working now, it was working fine before 30 days.
I can ping the server address successfully from BO Server through "dsedit".
i have created the same connection in a diffrent server (Win server 2003),and it is working fine.
Sybase ASE Driver version 3.50.00.10
Please help me to overcome this issue.
Thanks,
Saurabh upadhyay

Hi Saurabh,
The error message you are reporting is telling us that you are using the very old ctlibrary ODBC Driver.
That is pretty much the only way you can get that error.
Run from a command prompt, isql -v that will return a version string. We can then verify the version.
However, the old ODBC driver will function with the newer client.
The old driver would read the sql.ini for the network address, and was also a translation layer between
the client application and the ASE.
Both were eliminated when Sybase released the "Native" ODBC Driver.
The ct_connect error states that the connection attempt is using ctlibrary.
In your ODBC configuration, Check to see in the ODBC Administrator and check to make
sure that the driver you are using for your DSN is the Adaptive Server Enterprise and not the
Sybase ASE ODBC Driver.
Also check the Drivers tab in the ODBC Admin. See what the actual file is listed for the driver.
sysybnt.dll
syodase.dll are unsupported drivers.
It would be to your advantage to open an incident with SAP for more complete support
Thank you,
Kevin

Oracle 10g ODBC driver with Windows 7 32 bit connecting to Excel

Hi Everyone,
I'm having an issue connecting to our oracle 10g database (64 bit system) from a 32 bit windows 7 installation running excel 2010/2007 using odbc drivers. Our excel spreadsheets worked without issue in windows xp.
In windows 7 I have been able to install the odbc driver via the following method:
1. Download the oracle 'basic' client and oracle 'odbc' client from www.oracle.com and extract the contents:
instantclient-basic-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115
instantclient-odbc-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115
2. Create a folder 'oracle' and place the instantclient_10_2 folder inside.
3. Ensure all the basic and odbc files reside in this folder.
4. Create a 'network' folder within instantclient_10_2
5. Create an 'admin' folder within 'network'
6. Create sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora files within the 'admin' folder:
7. Run 'obdc_install' within the instantclient_10_2 folder
8. Download and run the oracle odbc driver exe file from www.oracle.com (ORA10203.exe)
9. Go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Data Sources and create a new System DN
This allows excel spreadsheets connecting ONLY to oracle to function.
Unfortunately some of our spreadsheets connect to both a MySQL database as well as oracle. Spreadsheets connecting only to MySQL also function correctly, however, as soon as the vb associated with a spreadsheet includes a mysql call followed by an oracle call the spreadsheets fail. In Excel 2007 excel crashes completely everytime. In Excel 2010 the mysql data is generated, then when the script hits to oracle odbc connection there is a long pause, the oracle ODBC driver connect pops up requesting a username/password (this didn't happen in xp), then the data source selection pops up, then the username/password connect screen pops up again, and finally it fails with a runtime error '1004' General ODBC error.
If you look at the VB script it's failing at the Refresh BackgroundQuery statement in the ODBC connection block:
With Worksheets("Oracle1").QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"ODBC;DSN=Oracle_ODBC;UID=user;PWD=password;SERVER=ORACLE_LINUX;", _
Destination:=Worksheets("Oracle1").Range("A1"))
.CommandText = strSql
.Name = "Oracle1_data"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.BackgroundQuery = True
.RefreshStyle = xlOverwriteCells
.SavePassword = True
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.PreserveColumnInfo = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
Does anyone know how to get around this? It's very important!!
Also if you try to edit the oracle ODBC connections in Control Panels -> Administrative Tools -> Data Sources, ODBC crashes 95% of the time.
Advice greatly appreciated!!

Well, here's what I'd check anyway..
1) get Process Explorer from http://sysinternals.com
2) make a mysql connection, get a list of dll's loaded (include the location and version columns in the lower pane output)
3) close that, then make an ora odbc connection, get a list of dlls.
4) close that, then make a mysql connection followed by an ora odbc connection, get a list of dlls
5) compare the lists of loaded dlls. In particular, the difference between #3 and #4, is there a dll dependency that gets loaded by oracle's odbc that comes from a different location when you've opened a mysql connection first?
May or may not help, but might turn up a difference to help point you in a direction.

Windows ODBC connections error

I have oracle installed a client machine, linking to the server. When i sign into the server using SQL+ this works fine. However when i try and edit any ODBC driver connections in windows-control panel i get an error telling me that the networking components were not found. Also when i try to open the application that runs with oracle i get two similar errors.
The error boxes are as follows :-
little: Microsoft ODBC for oracle
Message:The Oracle(tm) client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by oracle corporation and are part of the oracle version 7.3 (or greater) client installation.
You are unable to use this driver until these components have been installed.
2.Title: Database error
Message: IM004:[Microsoft][ODBC driver manager] Drivers SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_ENV failed.
This is strange because i have the connection in SQL plus to the same server and the other client machines i look after are working fine.
Right before the crash the machine had Nortan antivirus 7.61 and a Disk Defrag on C:
To remedy this i have un-installed and re-installed oracle client several times with no look.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have no further information about the Defrag of C: as our team did not run this, it was the IT support team we use.
Thanks in advance

I am trying to connect through ODBC to an external Oracle (Solaris) database from a Windows Server 2003 Web Edition machine. I am getting the exact same error scenario with the MS ODBC Driver for Oracle. I would love to use the Oracle ODBC driver rather than the Microsoft one, but OUI installation of it (any version) fails (with no explanation in the log) every time.
I am using Oracle9i Client 9.2.0.1.0 with Oracle 9iR2 Patch Set 9.2.0.3.0. Do I need to get rid of that and go back to an older version of the client? And, if I do, will it work with WIndows Server 2003 Web Edition? I know my attempted installation of an 8.05 client failed with no error information.
I have verified that %ORACLE_HOME%\bin is in the path and that the user has read/execute rights to %ORACLE_HOME%.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

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?

Windows 7 64 bit and ODBC connect to Sql data source

Hi
Just porting a simple test form over to new laptop with windows 7 64 bit and my odbc connect strings are not working properly.
They seem to work with Microsoft access, but not livecycle designer.
I tried the 32 bit ODBC drivers, and at least I can see the first record, but now I get an error when I try and execute a drop down to select a different record.
Looking at the forum history, a lot of Windows 7 issues but did not see one for ODBC connections....
Anyone have ODBC working on a Win 7 64 bit system?
Do they work?
Do the 32 bit drivers work?

I believe that the 64 bit drivers are NOT working
the 32 bit drivers are working.- have them working now!

Getting sqlplus and odbc connection to work

I'm looking to automate some data extraction activities either through a windows batch file or set up a data connection in an excel spreadsheet. I've installed (I think) the instant client, but, I'm not seeing any programs to run in my start>All Programs list except Microsoft ODBC Administrator and sqlplus does not work when typed at the command prompt (sqlplusw neither).
Not sure what I should do next...thanks for looking and your help.

ODBC Connection problem with SQL Native Client driver with CR 11

I am having an issue connecting my crystal reports to an ODBC connection that uses the SQL Native Client driver (Version 2005.90.2047.00). My reports work fine when using the SQL Server driver (Version 2000.85.3006.00). The ODBC connection is setup to use Integrated Windows Authentication and is defaulted to go to the correct database. When I test the ODBC connection in the 'ODBC Data Source Adminstrator' it connects fine.
The reports are trying to connect to stored procedures on a SQL Server 2005 database. I can log onto the ODBC connection in CR X1. When I try to set the Datasource connection for one of my reports to the ODBC connection I created, I get the following error:
'Some tables could not be replaced, as no match was found in the new data source. Please specify the table required for any unmodified tables.'
When I drill down to the SP and try to update the datasource location of the SP directly I get the following errors:
'Data Object cannot be opened/accessed'
and
'Unknown Database Connector Error'
As I said, I don't have any problems when using the SQL Server 2000 driver. One other thing to mention, when I initially connect to the ODBC connection in CR X1 with the SQL Native Client driver, it asks for a username and password. I leave these blank since I'm using Windows Authentication.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Jeff,
I just tried to create a new report using the native driver and there is no option to use Trusted Authentication. This would be why it's failing.
I don't believe we fully supported Native driver in Cr XI. Try downloading CR Xi R2 and install SP6 from this info:
Go to this link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc and download the trial version of CR XI R2 and use your XI keycode, then apply the patches which you can get to by clicking on the BusinessObjects tab above, then Downloads.
Direct link to the Trial version: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
I tested it in R2 and the Trusted Authentication option is there so your reports should work.
Thank you

ODBC--connection to 'SQL Serverservername' failed for one user but not another

In Win7, we're linking tables in an MS Access 2010 db to tables in a SQL Server 2008 R2 db. The driver user by the File dsn is SQL Server version 6.01.7601.17514 & we're using SQL Server Authentication.
For some reason, one user gets the msg "ODBC--connection to 'SQL Serverservername' failed" before they're even asked for a password, but for other users, the prompt comes up and when they uncheck the Windows Auth box, they enter their password
and connect successfully to the SQL Server db. Both users have db_datareader access to the SQL Server db.
I had the user that gets the error msg log onto my PC and they get the same error (yet it works for me.)
This user was, however, able to successfully relink the tables, but then when we closed the access db and opened it again, the user got the "ODBC--connection..." error agin.
I'm stumped as to why this is happening for one user.

Hello Knellen,
Please help to collect more log information regarding this issue, such as windows event log, SQL Sever log information. They are helpful for us to troubleshoot it.

VS 2005 ODBC Connection for CR XI Report

Post Author: Mohan56
CA Forum: .NET
Hello,
In VS 2005, I am using the CrystalReportViewer to display my report on Windows Form. This report uses the ODBC connection (defined in System Data Sources Name (DSN) as infimacs) to an Informix database, using NewEra Informix7 driver. In Crystal Reports XI, when I run the report a window pops up (first time and not on refresh) prompting me to enter Login and Password for the ODBC connection and also does to same thing in the Windows Form. My question is how do I pass this Login/Password info from VS 2005 to CR XI, so the Login/Password window is not displayed to the end user ? Following is the current code which is not working. I am a new user of VB and CR and I thank you in advance. Mohan56

Creating ODBC Connections to SQL Server

I have posted a Question to two Forums about a problem I'm having connecting to SQL Server using an ODBC Connection. Suddenly we can connect using on the IP Address of the virtual server not its name. So we can connect using 192.168.16.122\GEMSQLSRVR
but not GEM-SERVER\GEMSQLSRVR. Where should I be asking the question?

Seems you have a name resolution problem. You could try them here for SQL

or depending on you OS

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?

Howto connect a windows client oracle on a linux serveur 9i

Hi all,
I just want help for connecting one windows (2000 Pro) oracle client to a linux (Red Hat 8) oracle serveur. Thanks for all

Well, the first step is to configure TNS. The Net Configuration Assistant will help you there if your DBA hasn't already set things up for you (sent you a tnsnames.ora file, pointed the client at a shared tnsna,es.ora file, set up OID, etc).
Once you can tnsping the database from a command prompt, you can set up your ODBC DSN, assuming you want to use ODBC to connect.
