ODBC-Credentials wrong?

Hello together,
i have a CR2008, Version 12.2.0.290 on my workstation installed. This works fine if with all my reports, as long as I open them with this programm and with other third-party Software.
Now I tried to use one of my reports with our SAP Crystal Server 2011 and although I checked the ODBC-Connection on this machine and in den Configuration of the report, they won't work.
As it is a German Installation the Errormessage is: "Die Angaben zur Datenbankanmeldung sind unvollständig oder falsch"
This translates to wrong credentials in the Database-Authentication.
Any idea where wrong credentials might be stored? Or is this because of the different Versions of CR and CR-Server?
Kind regards,
Stefanie

Hi Stefanie,
Check the Local and Regional setting under the View Menu Option and try setting your language to German or what ever the DB language is set to.
Do you install All Languages when you installed CR?
Also check the ODBC DSN properties and make sure the Language is set accordingly also.

10g host preferred credentials, wrong password

I'm getting an error message trying to set the host preferred credentials in Enterprise Manager 10g:
"Connection to host hostname.changedthis.com as user landersd failed: ERROR: Wrong password for user"
I've triple-checked the password, and tried several variations on the username, but I can't seem to get it to work. When I look at a connected session (osuser in V$SESSION), the username comes up as IPS\landersd, but that username doesn't work either. Is there a way to specify the username that I'm not doing correctly? I also checked the privileges and the user has 'logon as batch job' privileges, and is part of the ORA_DBA group. What am I missing?

Windows only, I assume.
The format of the data to be entered in the Username fields on the Credentials pages is "Domain\Username". This setting is only accepted when the user has the "Log on as a batch job" right assigned.
Select the "Administrative Tools" control panel. Then "Local Security Policy". Expand "Local Policies", select "User Rights Assignment". Finally add the User to "Logon as a Batch Job" local security setting.
With thanks to Rachel from Oracle Support.

Windows 2008 R2 ODBC connect to Oracle Linux with 11g db

Hi
i installed a fresh oracle linux and installes 11.2.0 database server. the server works fine but i have a proplem to connect to the database from a windows 2008 r2
client. For the client connection i installed the oracle instantclient on the windows system. Now i want to configure the system dsn to connect to the oracle
server like this
data source description: vSphere 64

TNS Service Name: VCDB

then i go to TEST connection
Service Name: VCDB

so i copied the tnsnames.ora from the server to the client
then i get
ora-12504 tns listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT-DATA
here´s my tnsnames.ora from the client
VCDB =

"connectstring" is not a valid attribute with Oracle's ODBC driver, so since there is no datasource attribute specified, the app is trying to connect to a local database, and since you don't have one, you get 12560.
To resolve the problem, pass DBQ= instead of CONNECTSTRING=

10G: Startup/Shutdown Host and Target Credentials

Hello,
I recently installed the Windows version of Oracle 10G. I was working on the database when I had to do a shutdown immediate command. The I went to Enterprise Manager to restart but it gave me a web page stating I need to specify the Host and database credentials. It stated to give the username and password of the Host and Database credentials.
I know what the DB credentials are and my credentials are my OS username and password that I normally use to logon to my PC (or so I thought) but when I try and use that combination, it gives an error and states that it's an invalid password. Is there a way to reset the Host credentials username and password in Enterprise Manager Oracle 10G version?
Thanks,
Steve

Can you check out

Exception has occurred during data insertion ... Wrong number of parameters

I am using an ADO dataflow source and an ADO dataflow destination to move data from a table on an IBM iSeries DB2 database to another IBM iSeries DB2 database on another machine. The connection managers for source and destination both use .Net Providers\Odbc
Data Provider with the Data Source Specification being ODBC connections specified on the Windows Server 2008 r2 machine hosting bids. All the test connections work...so far so good.
Issue is when I execute the control flow task the rows get picked up from the source DB2 database no problem but it fails on the insert to the destination DB2 table...The progress tab specifies the exceptions...
[ADO NET Destination [601]] Error: An exception has occurred during data insertion, the message returned from the provider is: ERROR [07002] [IBM][System i Access ODBC Driver]Wrong number of parameters.
[SSIS.Pipeline] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PROCESSINPUTFAILED. The ProcessInput method on component "ADO NET Destination" (601) failed with error code 0xC020844B while processing input "ADO NET Destination Input" (604). The identified
component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the
failure.
I put a data viewer on the data flow connection and the records I expect are getting picked up and look ok. I checked to make sure the source and destination tables have the same number of columns in their record layout and identical data
types and they look fine.
Could someone kindly tell me whats going wrong? Does the error message indicate that some of the columns are getting dropped from the dataset before the insert?
Thanks much in advance for any help, Roscoe

Hi Roscoe,
Glad to hear that you have found the root cause. So, the issue occurs because numeric values with no decimal cannot be inserted into the Decimal data type column in the DB2 table. In SSIS, data type Decimal of DB2 database is mapped to data type DT_NUMERIC.
To address the issue, you can do a data conversion for the column in question to define its precision and scale such as DT_NUMERIC(9,2) by using the Data Conversion Transformation before the ADO NET Destination.

Is there a way to export a movie in FCP X in a medium format 640x360

I just downloaded FCP x and edited my first footage in it, looking at the Share options I don't see a way to export a medium 640x360 movie as I did in iMovie. Is there an option or way for me to export in that size?
Thanks

Well I stumbled upon a 'built in' solution, giving me the formats that I need. I simply select SHARE then I pick Vimeo, I enter incorrect credentials (wrong password) and now I can select the format sizes that I want .. Uncheck 'Set Size AUTOmatically' now you can pick 640x360, 960x540, 720x1080 and 1920x1080 from a drop down list. If you place your mouse over the 'blue i' symbol it give you a popup with the estimated file size.
FCP X will render/encode the file first, then it will attempt to upload it.. of course that will fail, but my MOVIE is now sitting in my FCP > Projects Folder under the Project Name > SHARED folder, in the format size I selected.
So we sorta have a built in basic compressor for some standard formats.
Maybe this will help somebody else,

How to convert String to date ? - MS access

I want to convert a string "10-10-08" [ MM-dd-yy ] into date type in same format to use that in query statement [MS Access].
In table , I am using field called "date" with "MM-dd-yy" format.
Example:
<%@ page import= "java.sql.*"%>
<%@ page import="java.text.SimpleDateFormat"%>
<%@ page import="java.util.Date"%>
<%
String d="10-9-08";
     SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-yy");
          Date date = dateFormat.parse(d);
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
     Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:bspipdb");
     Statement st = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs=st.executeQuery("Select * from datacollectdb where date='"+date+"'");
%>
I am getting "java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Data type mismatch in criteria expression.
" error.
How to use the string "10-10-08" in where statement?

In table , I am using field called "date" with "MM-dd-yy" format.I think a column named "date" is a very bad idea. Not just because "date" is a keyword. It's not very self-describing. How about "birth_date" or "hire_date" or "went_on_my_first_date"?
Example:Scriptlets? There's your second mistake.
<%@ page import= "java.sql.*"%>
<%@ page import="java.text.SimpleDateFormat"%>
<%@ page import="java.util.Date"%>
<%
String d="10-9-08";The way you're doing things, "2-40-99" is a valid date. Is that what you want?
     SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-yy");
          Date date = dateFormat.parse(d);
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
     Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:bspipdb");Wrong again. Better to use a PreparedStatement and bind that Date.
     Statement st = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs=st.executeQuery("Select * from datacollectdb where date='"+date+"'");
%>
I am getting "java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Data type mismatch in criteria expression.
" error.
How to use the string "10-10-08" in where statement?Use PreparedStatement and bind.
Your JSP should not be getting a database connection. Pool it.
Your code is wrong on every level. You don't close resources, you don't separate you app into layers, your database code is not in a POJO. I'd recommend that you throw this away and start again.

Hi,
Check the listener log and see if the connection information is logged (in this case with error)
If logged, then we are reaching the correct listener.
Then check tnsping VCDB works fine along with sqlplus connection through listener using VCDB as connect string.
If above both works, then issue can be isolated to ODBC configuration or setup issue.
In case even if the tnsping / sqlplus is failing to connect with VCDB, then worth taking a client sqlent trace at level 16 and listener trace at level 16 to analyse the issue further.
Thanks,

That would be an error message issued by the application you tried to download from.

Reports with wrong Server details (using ODBC name instead of server name)

Post Author: jomuir
CA Forum: Administration
When I save a report either in Crystal Reports 11 (File save as, Enterprise u2013 Central Management Server) or Central Manager Console, Objects New Object I get an error.
On looking at the database all reports I am adding or saving are automatically taking the wrong server details, and it is a greyed out field, so I cannot edit it. I presumed it is getting this information from my ODBC settings, but appears to be using the ODBC name/description as the server name (The Database and usernames are correct). This is happening on every report!
Any ideas what I am doing wrong? How I can save or add new reports with the correct details?
Not sure if this will help, but the error message is:- Failed to open the connection. D:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\Data\procSched\wdcsql1.reportjobserver\~tmp117852b044ee296.rpt

Post Author: jomuir

No, Crystal Reports in not installed on the server, and the ODBC settings are not setup on the server. However I did add the correct ODBC settings on the server but this has made no difference.
So do I need to setup all the ODBC settings in advance of anyone saving a report (I will need to try and find obtain them all)?
Should the server also have a version of Crystal Reports on it?
One report is working but it was added by the guy that installed it, and this report is using the same database as all the reports that I have added, and should be the same ODBC settings.
The server (server username) does not have access to the original location of the reports, so it cannot run the reports - however when I save them to the server via enterprise or the import tool, does a version of the report get saved on the server? If so can you point me in the direction of them, so I can try and run them via the server?

How do I resolve this problem: This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required

When attempting to log in to the web site the following message is received. This web site works
on other systems using Firefox.
This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.
Additionally, a 401 Authorization Required error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.mdyc.org/members_only

You may have saved a bad password so Firefox is entering that rather than giving you the option to try again. Go to Tools > Options > Security > Saved Passwords and delete the saved passwords for that site and then try logging in again.

Prime Infrastructure 2.0 "Wrong CLI Credentials" error with known good credentials

In the device work center sometimes devices show up with "wrong CLI credentials". Even when I change to known good SSH credentials and click the update & sync button the error does not go away.
Has anyone else had this issue? Does anyone know a workaround?
It seems absurd that you would not be able to edit the SSH credentials of devices.

ok, tried all that was said here. Nothing worked ... I do have banners, but no # sign ... removed them anyways ... then thinking about the banners might be causing issues for what PI expects ... (i do have my prompts changed to mask the platform) ... so i defaulted back to regular prompts ... WORKED !!!!
So here is what works for me ... no banners, no custom prompts AND device added through the 'classic theme'.
I presume the expectation is that the device begins with minimal config ... the rest is pushed through the config templates deployment. But have the developers thought of existing devices ? is it IOS version related (target device) or simply a bug.
BTW, PI v2.1
Edit --- needing to clarify, for some models (namely UC520) ... removed banner, custom prompts and i could add it comfortably through the Lifecycle interface.
Others (3550), could be inserted easily with banners and custom prompts ... rather inconsistent, though at least , i have working recipes.
Thanks for the help all :)

With Cisco Secure ACS 4.2 User accounts gets locked at first instance of wrong credentials even if configured for 3 attempts

Hello Everybody,
I am working with Cisco Secure ACS 4.2 and it is integrated with Active Directory at a Windows 2008 R2 functional level, user accounts that are set with lockout parameters (3 incorrect attempts) are locked out prematurely after the user enters the wrong credentials just once, the integration is done via LDAP.
I wonder if anybody has any idea why this is happening, because when I connect to a Cisco device or VPN, and type my password wrongly, on the Active Directory I get extra bad password counts.
Thanks in advance and regards....

Hello Scott,
Thanks for your answer. However we checked the ACS logs and it shows that we entered bad credentials just once, but in the Active Directory our account sometimes is blocked because we get at least 2 and sometimes 3 failures. This problem is only presented when we authenticate Cisco devices or through VPN, in normal circumstances, when users enter bad credentials on their computers, it works fine.
Thanks and regards...

Adstrtal.sh: Database connection could not be established. Either the database is down or the APPS credentials supplied are wrong.

In our R12.1.3 EBS, on RHEL 5.5, 64-bit, we are getting this error -

However, neither the db is down nor the APPS password is wrong. I am able to connect from sqlplus from application tier. And also from the 10.1.3 home. I have checked similar threads here but none helped. Raised an SR yesterday but that too hasn't helped yet.
Any ideas?

Wrong credentials entered during Client update

Hi,
We have a production site where ODS transfer have stopped working after an upgrade
from 6.0.4.12 to 6.0.4.18.
I am suspecting that the wrong database credentials have been given during client upgrade and
I want to change them to make sure they are correct. Since this is now encrypted information
I have no file that I can update.
How can I change the created database credentials after an update to the client is done?
Best regards,
Johan
