ODBC Driver 8.0.4.0.3 or higher

Where can i found the Oracle ODBC Driver 8.0.4.0.3 or higher?
Thanks in advance.

From the "Software" menu selection on the left, choose the ODBC driver from the "Drivers & Utilities" pull-down. Make sure to download the ODBC driver that corresponds to your Oracle client version (i.e. 8.1.5.6 for an Oracle 8.1.5 client, 8.1.6.1 for an Oracle 8.1.6 client).
Note as well that you must have installed the Oracle client prior to installing the ODBC driver.

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.

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:

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

Enter password:
ERROR:

Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory
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.

Working ODBC driver is not working suddenly

The ODBC driver which was running, has stopped running after a windows update. We are running Windows 2008 R2 with SQL Server 2008 R2. Using Oracle client 11.2g
Any suggestion or a reason why this might happened?

Did you add a System DSN or a User DSN? If you added a User DSN from your own login, the asp.net application will not be able to use it unless its application Pool in IIS is configured to run under the same credentials that you used for creating
the DSN. It's better if you add a System DSN.
Also, be careful to ensure that you are using a 64 bit DSN, unless you configure the application to run in 32 bits. If the 64 bit application attempts to use the 32 bit driver you get the same error message "Data source name not found and no default
driver specified". See this KB article:

Re: 32 Bit ODBC Driver for Oracle 11g 11.2.0.1.0

Hi,
Were you able to resolve the problem with these troubleshooting measures ?
Please let me know since i am facing similar issues like yours.
I am using a Windows 7 64 bit and from QTP installed on this machine , i am trying to connect to Oracle database.
Now initially i installed a 64 bit ODBC for Oracle . But when i did that and ran the Script below :
Set objDatabase = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set rs=createobject("adodb.recordset")
objDatabase.open "DRIVER={Oracle in OraClient11g_home1} ; DATA SOURCE=Oracle; SERVER= xyz ; DATABASE=abc1; UID=abc ; PASSWORD= abc123;"
rs.Open "select * from tablename", objDatabase
'result1 = objDatabase.Execute("select * from tablename")
'msgbox result1
Do while not rs.eof
print rs.fields("columnname")
rs.movenext
Loop
print rs.fields("columnname")
it gives me an error
“[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application”
So i am assuming that i need to install the 32 bit ODBC drivers for Oracle as well in addition to the already installed 64 bit drivers ..
Any thoughts on this ?

64 bit apps need 64 bit Oracle client software.
32 bit apps need 32 bit Oracle client software.
You should be able to tell the bit-ness of the app by checking the Process tab in task manager to see if it has *32 next to it.
You can install both 32 bit and 64 bit Oracle client software on the same box, but you need to do it into different homes, and different oracle_base should also be used.
There isnt an Oracle client install bundle that installs both, you'll need to do each separately.
Hope it helps,
Greg

A few things to note:
1) Crystal Report 2013 doe snot install any SDK. Thus the assumption is that you are using CR from teh following link:
SAP BusinessObjects - SAP Crystal Reports, Version For Eclipse Download
2) Since you are using a 64 bit connection (Oracle Client 11g 62 bit ODBC driver) you will have to make sure you are using 64 bit JVM. Otherwise, follow Dell's advice and use a 32 bit ODBC datasource.
3) On one test you are using Oracle Client 10g 32 bit ODBC driver and the other you are using Oracle Client 11g 64 bit ODBC driver. You might want to see if you can run your app using Client 11g 32 bit ODBC driver.

Odbc driver error while OBIEE instal on LINUX tries to access Datawarehouse

Hi All,
I have installed OBI Apps on a LINUX machine.The ETL too ran successfully.As we can't install BI tool on LINUX I modified the OracleBIAnalyticsApps.rpd file on a Windows machine and copied it back to the LINUX machine.After modifying the NSQConfig.ini file I could see all the OBI Apps answers and Dashboards ie OBI Apps was installed on LINUX.But whwnever I try to access some data from OLAP i get the following error:
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).

Probably this is because all the DSN specified in the rpd file were present on the Windows machine.I don't know how to modify these values for LINUX.Please help.Nothing is mentioned in the install docc as far as LINUX installation is concerned.
regards,
Soumya.

I think when your BI Server is running on linux, you would use native drivers to connect to your data warehouse database and not ODBC. If your data warehouse is on a oracle db server, change the call interfact in the RPD connection pool to OCI and give the tnsname for the db server connection in the connection pool.

Odbc driver error while connecting with Oracle BI in Linux

I have Oracle BI Server, Presentation Service and Oracle 11g Client installed in RHEL 5. Oracle BI client is installed in Windows so that I can use Admin tool.
I have created a repository in Windows for sh schema(by creating ODBC). After that I transferred this repository to the ..server/repository in the linux server.
I have installed Oracle ODBC Driver from EASYSOFT and added one odbc data source for sh schema in the ../setup/odbc.ini.
My ODBC setting is as follows.
[ODBC Data Sources]
sh=Oracle in OraDb11g_home1
[sh]
Driver=/usr/local/easysoft/oracle/libesoracle.so
Database=//ipaddress_of_ORACLE_SERVER:port/database_service_name

I have enabled tracing, but I am not getting any clue from trace output.
Can anybody please help.
If it is because of wrong driver, can anybody suggest a proper ODBC Driver for Oracle and how to configure it. If the driver is OK and configuration is wrong, can anybody tell me how to create system dsn in linux?
Thanking you in advance.

don't use ODBC for Oracle, use OCI
search on the forum, there's plenty of information about it.

Thanks for your help,

You have a conversion problem with your character set between the database and OBIEE.
You have to set your NSL_LANG as you can see in this thread:
ORA-29275: partial multibyte character
To do this, you can do it in your connexion pool with an alter command. Check here for an image example:

MS ODBC or Oracle ODBC driver?

Can anyone tell me which is the correct driver to use when developing front end MS Access 2003 to retrieve and update data on a Open VMS platform with Oracle 8.1.7.3 database?
I have serval Access 2000 databases that run on most WinNT or W2K clients with a couple of W2K Dell exceptions. These Access 2000 db's connect to the Oracle database using linked tables and SQL pass-through queries that work with ODBC Manager-DNS system setup using the Microsoft for Oracle ODBC driver.
Now we are upgrading to Office Pro 2003 so new W2K images have been setup with Oracle 8.1.7 Client. SQL*Plus works on these clients but when I create the System DNS the Access databases return an error "ODBC connection failed". I can however connect with a pass-through query using Oracle's ODBC driver. Not enough time in roll-out plan to change the ODBC connection string in hundreds of Access SPT queries.
Please help!

Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver 1.0 for Linux problem

Hello! I've RedHat Linux 6 Update 1 x64 on VMware Player and MS SQL Server on real machine. My application "servernew" on RedHat. All right, but when i try connect my SQL Server:
retcode = SQLDriverConnect(hdbc,NULL,string,sizeof(string),buf,sizeof(buf),&StringLength2,SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT);
i get retocde = -1;
Using SQLGetDiagRec:
MessageText = Data source name not found, and no default driver specified
To make my connection i use next attempts for connection string:
//char constring[200]="Driver={Microsoft Server ODBC Driver 1.0 for Linux};Server=ARTPK2\\SQLEXPRESS2;Database=Kurs;Uid=sa;Pwd=2ef5Fese";
//char constring[200]="Driver={SQL Server Native Client 11.0};Server=ARTPK2\\SQLEXPRESS2;Database=Kurs;Uid=sa;Pwd=2ef5Fese";
//char constring[200]="Driver={Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver V1.0 for Linux};Server=ARTPK2\\SQLEXPRESS2;Database=Kurs;Uid=sa;Pwd=2ef5Fese";
//char constring[200]="Driver={/opt/microsoft/sqlncli/lib64/libsqlncli-11.0.so.1790.0};Server=ARTPK2\\SQLEXPRESS2;Database=Kurs;Uid=sa;Pwd=2ef5Fese";
char constring[200]="DSN={SQL Server Native Client 11.0};Uid=sa;Pwd=2ef5Fese";
but...Data source name not found, and no default driver specified .. help me

Ok. New attempts with sqlcmd:
[root@localhost ~]# sqlcmd -S 192.168.0.3 -U sa -P 2ef5Fese -d first
SqlState HYT00, Login timeout expired
A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible. Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. For more information
see SQL Server Books Online.
TCP Provider: Error code 0x6F
New error 0x6F (i turned off firewall in windows).
[root@localhost ~]# sqlcmd -S ARTPK2\\SQLEXPRESS2 -U sa -P 2ef5Fese -d first

It's bad way, but...
[root@localhost ~]# sqlcmd -D -S ARTPK2\\SQLEXPRESS2 -U sa -P 2ef5Fese -d first
SqlState IM002, Data source name not found, and no default driver specified
It's like in my program!!
retcode = SQLDriverConnect(hdbc,NULL,string,sizeof(string),buf,sizeof (buf),&StringLength2,SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT);
i get retocde = -1;
Using SQLGetDiagRec:
MessageText = Data source name not found, and no default driver specified
Why "SQLDriverConnect" is looking for DNS?!

ODBC Driver for Windows 7 - 64 bit

Hi All,
I am having problems with using the Microsoft ODBC for Oracle Driver in Windows 7 - 64bit system. I am using the following code in my VB script
Set myConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
myConnection.Open "Driver={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle};" & "Server=xxxxxx;" & "Uid=xxxxx;" & "Pwd=xxxxx"
Set myRecord = CreateObject("ADODB.recordset")
Sql = "Select * from employees where id= '01234'"
myRecord.Open Sql, myConnection
For Each r In myRecord.Fields
MsgBox r.Name
Next
I get the following error message: "The Oracle (tm) client and networking components are not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3 (or greater) client software installation, You will be unable to use this driver until these components have been installed"
"[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_ENV failed"
Can you help me out on which version of Oracle client i need to install and what other settings I need to do on my Windows 7 system after the client installation.

I tried installing "instantclient-basic-windows.x64-11.2.0.4.0" and "instantclient-odbc-windows.x64-11.2.0.4.0" both. I ran the odbc_install.exe in command prompt as administrator and got the message "Oracle ODBC Driver is installed successfully."
I also set the environment Variable "Path" as "C:\instantclient_11_2".
But when tried to use the above VBScript to connect to the Oracle DB, i get the same error message. I am really stuck with this for past two days.

ODBC Driver 8.0.4.0.3 or higher
