Odbc failure for Siebel database server configuration

Hi all,
I am installing siebel 7.8.2 in my system. I am using oracle 10g...
I have installed siebel gateway name server .
After siebel server installation and configuration,
I was checking for ODBC connectivity as given in manual but i am getting the following error:
Cannot validate username/password combination.
HY000: [DATA direct] [ODBC Oracle Driver][Oracle] Ora-12538: TNS: no such protocol adapter
further details are:
I have installed Oracle 10g application server(both oracleasinfra and oracleasmidtier)... my oracle_home is oracleasinfra... and my running listener is also infrastructure listener... and my siebel database where i have run grantusr.sql script is also database which is in oracleasinfra...
Please help me out?

Hi Manuel Dias,
I believe those information would be easily found out through SQL Server 2005 references or guides. There may not have any special needs for B1 database.
Thanks,
Gordon

Siebel chart server configuration

Hi Experts,
After installing chart server on siebel servers, we configure the parameters DSChartServer and DSDChartImageFormat under ServerDataSrc profile. Is it possible to have multiple chart servers installed on different siebel servers on the same enterprise and have them configured under ServerDataSrc profile parameters? We need this clarity to check if we can setup high availability for chart servers or not. Incase one chart server is down then will other chart server be able to pick up the load and proceed further?
Thanks,

Minumum hardware requirement for Siebel Document server?

what is the minimum hardware requirement for Siebel document server?

To install the Document Server, perform the following steps:
Obtain the required hardware.
Install the Siebel Server.
Install third-party applications.
After installing the Siebel Server, you may have to follow some of the steps described in Configuring the Document Server. The Document Server is a component of Siebel eDocuments, which can be installed during installation of the Siebel Server. Consult with your system administrator to verify that the Document Server has been installed and configured according to the requirements listed in the following sections.
Hardware Requirements
The Document Server is supported on the Windows 2000 platform. To maintain stability and performance, the Document Server must run on a dedicated host machine. The Siebel Server on this machine should host one instance of the Siebel eDocuments component group. No other components should be running other than required system components.
To support more users, you can run additional instances of the Siebel eDocuments component group on additional dedicated host machines.
Installing the Siebel Server
Install the Siebel Server on the dedicated host machine of the Document Server. For more information about installing the Siebel Server, see Siebel Server Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows.
During installation, you will have the option to enable component groups. Select the Siebel eDocuments component group. Do not enable any other component groups.
This step can also be performed after installation is complete, as described in the section Enabling the Component Group.
Installing Third-Party Applications
You must install Microsoft Word.
To install Microsoft Office
Log on to the server machine using the same user account that the Siebel Server NT service uses. This user account must belong to the Administrators group.
NOTE: The install must use the same account to be used by the NT Service. The installer configures COM security settings so that the installing user account will have the correct permissions to access and launch the application. If the install uses an account other than the Siebel Server NT service account, errors may occur when the Document Server tries to launch the application.
Install Microsoft Office using a Typical, or complete, installation. Verify that your version of Microsoft Office will install the Web Authoring Tools (HTML) component with the Typical installation. If it does not, you will need to use the Custom installation option, and install all of the typical components as well as the Web Authoring Tools (HTML) component.
Start the applications that will be used by the Document Server. This forces the applications to register themselves.
Close the applications.
Regards,
Joseph Arul Dass

Purchase or not ODBC Driver for MS SQL Server 2005

Hi experts,
We have Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard with MS SQL SERVER 2005 and our other branch want to access this system's Database at their end.
other branch is planning to integrate database record to ERP
Can u confirm whether they have to purchase ODBC driver or not.
from where i can purchase ODBC driver online.
Best Regards,
Pardeep

Hello,
The data provider like ODBC and SQL Server Native Client are already integrated in all common MS Windows OS, so in common you don't need to install additional provider.
But if you want to install and newer version, then you can get it for free from
Feature Pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP4 => sqlncli.msi ( = SQL Native Client, which includes ODBC)

Instructions for Oracle Database Server Version 10.2.0.4 Patch 49

Hi !
Before trying to do anything on the database by applying the patch I received from Oracle, I want to be sure to fully understand the readme file that is with the patch.
Oracle 10g.
Dataguard configuration
I need to do CPU patch. I follow the patch instructions, but I have some questions about these steps to do:
1. Back up the current database that is installed, the %ORACLE_HOME% directory and Oracle inventory under c:\Program files\oracle directory.
Question: I suppose I have to do a rman backup right?
2. Perform a clean shutdown of all Oracle services (databases, Oracle listeners, Oracle agents, and so on.) that run from the Oracle Home where you install this patch. Shutdown all MTS/COM+/.Net applications that access Oracle databases.
Question: All that is required for a clean shutdown is done with a shutdown immediate command, right?
I know my database is not RAC, but it certainly has an Automatic Storage Management. Is it stopped with the shutdown command?
3. Stop all Oracle services, Recovery catalog, ODBC applications, and other applications that use Oracle Client. This may include Web servers that load the Oracle client in the mid-tier environment.
Explicitly stop the Distributed Transaction Coordinator service (which is not an Oracle service) if it is running.
Question : I shall have a look at the Services and stop all the services that were not stopped after the shutdown immediate command, right?
4. Make sure no application are using the driver sqora32.dll
Question: How to check that no application are using this driver?
There are in the following preinstallation instructions notes for bug 8292378, data guard bug fix 8227106, bug 6798650 and bug 8866013.
I see that bug 6798650 is for RAC only, so as my database is not RAC, I don't have to take into account this note.
5. I have this for the Pre-install steps for Data Guard bug fix 8227106:
Disable Fast-Start Failover if it is enabled.
Stop the Data Guard broker observer.
Disable the configuration.
Stop the broker on all databases by setting the DG_BROKER_START initialization parameter to FALSE.
Question: how can I disable fast-start failover?
Next I look at the Installation Instructions:
I have in the readme:
- patch installation instruction for single instance
- patch installation instruction for RAC (won't use it, as my database is not RAC)
- installation instruction for Oracle Instant client :
- installation instruction ODP.NET 1.x or 2.x : I see ODP.NET on the Oracle directories.
Which patch installation instruction should I follow, according to my database configuration, single instance?
Appreciate any help.

1. Back up the current database that is installed, the %ORACLE_HOME% directory and Oracle inventory under c:\Program files\oracle directory.
Question: I suppose I have to do a rman backup right?No, but yes... I mean, in the documentation is refering at directory, not database. When you use the patch, some files will be change, so if you need rollbackup you need a copy of your ORACLE_HOME and c:\Program files\oracle. Just copy this directories in another place.
I mean yes because it's recommended backup database too.
2. Perform a clean shutdown of all Oracle services (databases, Oracle listeners, Oracle agents, and so on.) that run from the Oracle Home where you install this patch. Shutdown all MTS/COM+/.Net applications that access Oracle databases.
Question: All that is required for a clean shutdown is done with a shutdown immediate command, right?
I know my database is not RAC, but it certainly has an Automatic Storage Management. Is it stopped with the shutdown command?No, all services, if you only run "SQL>shutdown immediate" you are only stopping database, not ASM, not Listener,....
3. Stop all Oracle services, Recovery catalog, ODBC applications, and other applications that use Oracle Client. This may include Web servers that load the Oracle client in the mid-tier environment.
Explicitly stop the Distributed Transaction Coordinator service (which is not an Oracle service) if it is running.
Question : I shall have a look at the Services and stop all the services that were not stopped after the shutdown immediate command, right?srvctl stop service -d <database name> -s <Configured workload management service> -i <instance name>
srvctl stop instance -d <database name> -i <instance name>
srvctl stop asm -n <nodename>
4. Make sure no application are using the driver sqora32.dll
Question: How to check that no application are using this driver?http://superuser.com/questions/399659/how-can-i-identify-what-application-is-using-a-given-file
5. I have this for the Pre-install steps for Data Guard bug fix 8227106:
Disable Fast-Start Failover if it is enabled.
Stop the Data Guard broker observer.
Disable the configuration.
Stop the broker on all databases by setting the DG_BROKER_START initialization parameter to FALSE.
Question: how can I disable fast-start failover?are you using Data Guard? if not skip this step, if Yes:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14230/sofo.htm#BCGJEGAF
Next I look at the Installation Instructions:
I have in the readme:
- patch installation instruction for single instance
- patch installation instruction for RAC (won't use it, as my database is not RAC)
- installation instruction for Oracle Instant client :
- installation instruction ODP.NET 1.x or 2.x : I see ODP.NET on the Oracle directories.
Which patch installation instruction should I follow, according to my database configuration, single instance?Only you know what configuration do you have.
Probably "patch installation instruction for single instance", but be sure that this patch will apply in a database and not in a RAC or in a Client or ODP.NET

ODBC (RDO) Connection Information : DataBase Server ID Greyed out

Post Author: Eany
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
When I select the refresh option (Crystal XI) for a report which previously worked fine, I get sent to the ODBC (RDO) connection Information screen.
The first box for Server ID is greyed out.
When I go to enter the password, I get
Login Failed
HY000 General Error : Invalid file dsn Database Vendor Error 556.
But If I then create a new report, selecting the same dsn as was used for the report above, there is no problem.

Hi Thib,
It won't work, WEB servers do not allow you to "Browse" their folder structures directly. You could how ever create a WEB Service to do this, it does the querying for you and then passes the data back. You'll have to search the WEB for more info on how to create a WEB Service and then check with your security guys if this is something you want to do.
Bottom line is ODBC or native or OLE DB is not going to work. And if you do open it up so you could it would be a major security hole for anyone to get to.
Other options are to create a VPN server so you can remotely connect to the server and get direct access to the table.
There are other options also, what you want to do is not doable.
You did not say why you want to do this? Add more info and someone may have a suggestion for you.
Major DB's like Oracle, MS SQL Server and others allow this to work through their clients so you may want to look at that option also.
Thank you
Don

Is there any patch for migrating database server from oracle to sql server

we have very large application build using oracle forms 6i
(release 2) & reports 6i & Oracle Database as back-end server.
Now we want to port our application on sql server. Is there any
patch available , so that we don't have to change anything at
application level except connection string.
currently I am using :
oca 6.0.5.35.0
sql server 2000
odbc 3.5xxx
d2k 6i(release 2)
But we have to make lot of changes at application level.
So any one can tell me about any tool, or patch for converting
without changing too much at application level.
Thanks

Best Practice for monitoring database targets configured for Data Guard

We are in the process of migrating our DB targets to 12c Cloud Control.
In our current 10g environment the Primary Targets are monitored and administered by OEM GC A, and the Standby Targets are monitored by OEM GC B. Originally, I believe this was because of proximity and network speed, and over time it evolved to a Primary/Standby separation. One of the greatest challenges in this configuration is keeping OEM jobs in sync on both sides (in case of switchover/failover).
For our new OEM CC environment we are setting up CC A and CC B. However, I would like to determine if it would be smarter to monitor all DB targets (Primary and Standby) from the same CC console. In other words, monitor and administer DB Primary and Standby from the same OEM CC Console. I am trying to determine the best practice. I am not sure if administering a swichover from Cloud Control from Primary to Standby requires that both targets are monitored in the same environment or not.
I am interested in feedback. I am also interested in finding good reference materials (I have been looking at Oracle documentation and other documents online). Thanks for your input and thoughts. I am deliberately trying to keep this as concise as possible.

OMS is a tool it is not need to monitor your primary and standby what is what I meant by the comment.
The reason you need the same OMS to monitor both the primary and the standby is in the Data Guard administration screen it will show both targets. You also will have the option of doing switch-overs and fail-overs as well as convert the primary or standby. One of the options is also to move all the jobs that are scheduled with primary over to the standby during a switch-over or fail-over.
There is no document that states that you need to have all targets on one OMS but that is the best method for the reason of having OMS. OMS is a tool to have all targets in a central repository. If you start have different OMS server and OMS repository you will need to log into separate OMS to administrator the targets.

[SOLVED] bftpd for apache file server configuration

i chose bftpd,
is this a decent choice for a simple apache testing server? i finally got it working last night after some configuration changes
#ROOTDIR specifies the root directory of the client. It defaults to %h
#(user's home directory). %u is replaced by the user name.
ROOTDIR="/srv/http"
#i set it to the doc root of the server
#If DO_CHROOT is enabled, a user can not access directories other than his
#HOMEDIR and its subdirectories. DON'T disable this globally if you don't
#want to have a security hole!
DO_CHROOT="yes"
#even though i left this default, it still works, not out of my home directory, so this part is a bit confusing
#With the option ALLOWCOMMAND_XXXX, you can disable the command XXXX.
ALLOWCOMMAND_DELE="yes"
#this one allowed me to overwrite files in /srv/http, without it ftp wouldnt work unless file didnt exist
these are the only configuration changes i had to do. im still wondering if i need to change one of the above and then add or tinker with one of the user functions below
user ftp {
#Any password fits.
ANONYMOUS_USER="yes"
DENY_LOGIN="Anonymous login disabled."
# bftpd interprets ROOTDIR="%h" (the default), as ROOTDIR="/" for the anonymous user, override it
ROOTDIR="/srv/ftp"
user root {
DENY_LOGIN="Root login not allowed."

gave up on bftpd and switched out to proftp

JDBC-ODBC bridge for MSSQL database

Hi,
I have SAP 2 MSSQL synchronous scenario and I need to select data from MS SQL 2005 database located on the remote system via XI 3.0. The database provides only ODBC access. I am using JDBC receiver and I would like to use sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver as a driver. I searched this forum, but the most of threads describe, how to connect to MS Access database, which is not my case. I used XI JDBC/FTP connection Test and XML Validation Application described in SAP Note 1085539 to test it. I used the following settings:
Driver Class (fully qualified)   sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
JDBC URL                          jdbc:odbc:Driver://<host IP>;databaseName=<name>
User Name                         my username
Password                           my password
I got the following error:
Exception Occurred : [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
Exception Stack Trace : java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
     at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc.createSQLException(JdbcOdbc.java:6958)
     at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc.standardError(JdbcOdbc.java:7115)
My questions are: Is it possible to use sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver in this scenario? If so, what should I put as JDBC URL? Do I need to create DSN on the XI system? (it is a Windows NT based machine).
Thanks a lot for your answers.

Have you already deployed the drivers (msbase.jar, mssqlserver.jar, msutil.jar) ??
If so,
The JDBC drivers should be:
com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
And the connection should be:
jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://hostname:1433;DatabaseName=name
else
For the drivers:

Best OS for Oracle Database Server Redhat Ent. Linux AS4 or MS Windows 2003

hi,
if i have to choose operating system for our oracle database production server, what should i choose Linux as 4 or windows 2003. we have professional for both.
any other OS could be consider ???
Prabhaker Kumar

Hi Paul,
As I said above, Windows/Unix is not only the tech team choice.
Also, by estimation, nearly 60-70% of our clients have databases under Windows. I have to say that are not big databases (less than 100Gb), and traffic is not very high (till 1000 connections per days). But when the work become more intensive, and more data and security required, the databases are under Unix/Linux.
But in small business company, Unix/Linux afraid again, maybe due to the higher cost (install/maintenance server).
If my preference go for Unix/Linux, I use Oracle under Windows at my home (because I share my Pc with my wife and my daughter) and on my laptop for test, and that works well ;-)

ODBC connectivity for Oracle9i database?

Hi,
We are looking at future database platform requirements for our customer service application and starting to look at Oracle 9i. Does anyone know at this early stage whether 9i will support connectivity from an older application which requires ODBC? Is it correct to assume it will have the same level of ODBC driver support as Oracle 8i?
Thanks,
Graham Bleakley
royalblue technologies

I'm sure that there will be Oracle9 ODBC drivers when 9i ships. Assuming you'll be connecting only to an Oracle8 or Oracle9 database, you should be just fine.
The only possible wrinkle I can come up with would be if you're trying to connect to an Oracle7 database (or connect an Oracle7 client to a 9i database). I'm not sure this will be supported.

Hi Sailesh,
This Please recommend: Which client to use for Integration Server. (001???) would address your question.
