ODBC Filemaker Connection

I have created a 32 bit system DSN to my filemaker database with connection success. When i log into the Coldfusion admin and try and set a database... I name it and select ODBC socket... when it does to the next screen the ODBC DSN drop down is empty. Does anyone know why and how I fix it? (I am testing local 127.0.0.1 Windows 7) thanks.

Hi Scarecrow,
The only gotchas I can see, from a cursory perusal of other
discussions, is that 1) the FM server must be configured for remote
access, and 2) the Filemaker server must be running with the target
database open. AFAIK, FM doesn't allow simple ODBC file access as
we are used to with other DB products.
Good luck!

Automatically create ODBC DSN connection with special port and password. Add-OdbcDsn cmdlet

Hi,
I first posted a question in the SQL forum but I'm posting it here instead because its a Powershell question.
In a non-persitent VDI enviroment we are trying to automatically create a ODBC DSN connection to a SQL server.
We are using Windows 8.1 so we also have Powershell 4 together with the add-odbcdsn cmdlet.
But when trying to add set -SetPropertyValue for network port different than default and a password we get an error.
here is the command:
Add-OdbcDsn -Name test -DriverName "SQL Server" -DsnType User -SetPropertyValue @("PWD=test", "SERVER=10.0.0.1")
and here is the error message:
Add-OdbcDsn : Attempt to set the {UID or PWD} key of a DSN. These keys should not be stored in the registry for securit
y reason. Provide the credential information at runtime via SQLDriverConnect, SQLConnect or SQLBrowseConnect.

NB!: this command does not contain a port number, but when adding it without a password(PWD string) we just the default port.

Hi Primeid,
Agree with Jrv, we cannot store UID and PWD in an ODBC datasource, For example, you can create a DSN using the user interface but if you look at the DSN stored in the registry the UID and PWD are not stored.
ODBC it is always required when you connect using a DSN that the caller supply UID and PWD if they want to use standard login during connection time.
These similar discussion are for your reference:

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

Crystal Reports and ODBC (RDO) connection

Hi,
I'm using SQL Server 2005 and Crystal Reports 2008. I connected my Crystal Report to the SQL database using an ODBC (RDO) connection. In the past I was able to add a field to a table in the database, and I was able to see the new field immediately in Crystal Reports.
Now, when I add a new field to a table in the database I'm not able to see the new field and I no longer receive updates when something changes in the database. Two questions:
1)Any idea what might be causing the disconnect between the database and my report?
2)Is ODBC (RDO) the recommended connection for what I'm trying to do?

Once you connect to your DB then click on Database and Verify database. This will update the filed list in Crystal.
OLE DB is actually a better connector to use as it has more power than ODBC.
Thank you

JDBC ODBC bridge connections using 2.1.1

Hi,
I have reviewed a lot of postings related to JDBC and third party drivers and understand how to connect to the packaged drivers such as MySQL and MS SQL Server/Sybase. Where I'm stuck is the reference in the Connections help to JDBC. We have a ODBC system DSN that's not part of the existing JDBC drivers. The help implies it's possible to create a JDBC:ODBC bridge connection and that JDBC:ODBC bridge functionality is part of the JDK therefore should not require additional jar files. However, the JDBC tab is not an available connection type by default. I traced the JDBC ODBC bridge to the rt.jar and tried adding that to the third party extensions but that has not resulted in the JDBC tab becoming available.
Is the JDBC tab only available when using commercial JDBC ODBC bridge drivers ?
For all other connections (DB2, TimesTen, Teradata etc) the help is very specific about which jar files you need and any other requirements but the JDBC section it is unclear how you enable JDBC connectivity.
Thanks
Steven

We are using the JDBC-ODBC bridge to do a prepared
statement. I have seen other bugs that suggest this
is problematic with older version of JRE, but was
supposedly fixed in later versions.
java.sql.SQLException: General errorIf it is not too late, check the following link:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/jdbc/getstart/GettingStartedTOC.fm.html
Sections 6.1.3 and 8 (especially tables at the end).
I had the same case, and the problem was that the field in the Oracle database was defined as NUMBER(4), witch is equivalent to INTEGER in JDBC types, and function setInt should be used with INTEGER, instead of setLong.
This is explained in sections I mentioned.

JDBC-ODBC-Bridge connection to SQL Database

Hi guys
I have a problem. I've made a little game which I want to put on my website. It has a highscore-list which I want to connect to my web host's database server to get the current list.
I tried this with JDBC and got it to work locally but when I uploaded it to my site it didn't work. I contacted my web host's technical support who told me that their server didn't have the JDBC driver and that I should use ODBC instead. I did lots of reading and found out about this JDBC-ODBC-Bridge. I have since been trying to implement this into my program but hasn't been successful.
In my original JDBC connection I used
private String url = "jdbc:mysql://" + host + "/" + mydatabase;
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);Now I'm trying
private String url = "jdbc:odbc://" + host + "/" + database;
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);But, at least when trying it locally, I get the error
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name is too long.

Informatica Workflow Manager ODBC Relational Connection for ETL in DAC

In Informatica Workflow Manager, I have created a Relational Connection of type ODBC and specified Connect String as "DSN=BIEEDW" where "BIEEDW" is the System ODBC DSN already set pointing to a SQL Server 2008 database.
However, when the ETL run in DAC, the following error occurs in Session log files showing that the database and driver cannot be located:

Any hint in setting the Connect String for ODBC Relational Connection?

Hi,
Let me tell you the real story:
Our server architecture consists of two servers:
Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit) platform with the following installed:
- SQL Server 2008
- DAC 10.1.3.4.1
- OBIEE 11g
- BI Apps (Financial Analytics) 7.9.6.3
- Informatica Server 9.1.0 HotFix 2
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2 (32-bit) platform with the following installed:
- Informatica Clients (i.e. Workflow Manager, Repository Manager, Designer and Workflow Monitor)
And thus the ODBC Relational Connection is configured in Informatica Client machine (Workflow Manager) which is a 32-bit platform.
Any idea?

Using Oracle ODBC Gateway connecting to a remote Oracle database

Oracle 11gR2
RHEL 6.4
Has anyone use the Oracle ODBC Gateway to connect to another Oracle database? Any issues with that configuration? Where do I get the ODBC drivers for Linux?
(I know, "why not use a dblink?" -- well that would be against company security policies)

Hi,
From the Oracle point of view we support using DG4ODBC for Oracle to Oracle connections. However, we have not actually tested it as DG4ODBC is primarily designed for access to non-Oracle databases.
How DG4ODBC will work between Oracle databases depends on the ODBC driver and what that supports. You will need an ODBC Oracle driver which you can get from various suppliers including Oracle but also vendors such as DataDirect, Easysoft etc. You could try a Google search.
You say you do not want to use database links but that is how DG4ODBC is used, You cannot do -
sqlplus user/password@dg4odbc_oracle
Once Dg4ODBC is setup and configured as in this note - if you are using Linux 64-bit -
How to Configure DG4ODBC on 64bit Unix OS (Linux, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX Itanium) to Connect to Non-Oracle Databases Post Install (Doc ID 561033.1)
then in the Oracle database you create a database link and select from tables in the other Oracle database -
select * from table@dg4odbc_db_link ;

ODBC Error connecting to a stored procedure SQL Server 2008 - Crystal 8.5

I am running a local copy of SQL server 2008 and get an ODBC error when connecting to any stored procedure with or without parameter. The database are running in SQL Server 2000 compatibility mode on the local server.
Do not get the error when connecting to one or more databse tables or when connecting to a stored procedure on a remote database.
The error reported is "ODBC error:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server driver] Syntax error or access violation"
I am running Vista OS.
Any help would be appreciated..

Hello,
Interesting combination. All but CR 8.5 is supported on that OS.
When you created your DSN did you using the 2008 Client or MDAC?
I suggest you go back to supported platforms for CR 8.5
If not then start debugging Vista permissions to start with...
good luck

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
thanks,
charan.

Jdbc:odbc driver connection issues

I need to use the jdbc:odbc driver to access a non-oracle db from a jsp. I am sure my dsn is fine as I can use a non JSP java app to connect to the odbc db. I have loaded the sun.jdbc.odbc classes in the schema I am working in as it is not loaded by default in 9.2.0.7 currently I am on a windows system. I have found the following:
public static void doTest()throws Exception{
// load the local Oracle Driver
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
connLocalOracle = new OracleDriver().defaultConnection();
// load the odbc driver
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
if I exit at this point the jsp does not through an exception
however if I include the line:
connODBC = DriverManager.getConnection(odbcURL,"XX","XX");
I get the error:
SQL> execute do_jdbc_odbc_test;
BEGIN do_jdbc_odbc_test; END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc.allocConnect
ORA-06512: at "TU1.DO_JDBC_ODBC_TEST", line 0
ORA-06512: at line 1
So I am assuming I am loading the driver but the driver is not talking to the odbc configuration in windows.
What permissions would I need to give to the user to allow this connection to occur?
How can I find out if this is indeed the case?
If not how can I make this connection happen using ODBC?

If by jsp you mean Java Stored Procedure, the hybrid JDbc-ODBC stack won't work. You can connect to non-Oracle RDBMS from within Java in the database by using a pure Java JDBC driver of the target RDBM. Fwiw, a complete example connecting to SQl Server from with JavaDB is described in my upcoming book. (See http://db360.blogspot.com/)

Error 10061 WSAECONNREFUSED when I do ODBC Test Connection!

Hi
Am still trying to create a DSN in ODBC however can't get the connection to work..
Any help and Suggestions greatly appreciated!!
Regards
Meir R

Hello,
Please, check if you have the right ODBC driver. You should choose Oracle in XEClient.
Then, for the connexion you'll have to set the following:
Data Source Name: {color:red}name{color}
Description: {color:red}description{color}
TNS Service Name: {color:red}127.0.0.1:1521/XE{color}
User ID: {color:red}Oracle user{color}In fact I thought at first you wanted to connect with the browser and for it you have to
use the port 8080.
For ODBC you need the Listener port which by default is *1521*.
Please, let me know if it works.
Hope it can help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

Issue with creating oracle ODBC DSN connection

Hi all,
We have BO X! 3.1. We have created some webi reports. Our universe connection is created using following method.
= Created a DSN connection for oracle 10g database
= created Bo connection object by selecting Generic ODBC connection
= in the service name we have given DSN name and tested successfully.
we have created reports universe under Windows environment.
= Now we deployed Biar file of the same on SOLARIS server.
We have created odbc connection in odbc.ini on solaris.
we have used path "/../boxir3/bobje/odbc.ini"
We have used "/BOXIR3/bobje/enterprise120/solaris_sparc/odbc/lib/libsqora.so.10.1" driver
But when we test connection after deployment connection fails. giving error
" A database error occured. The database error text is:. (WIS 10901)"
Can anybody suggest me right method to create ODBC connection for oracle 10g on SOLARIS.
Thanks in advance.
Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,
You said your odb.ini is at the location "/../boxir3/bobje/odbc.ini". Verify if environment variable ODBCINI is pointing to this location. For this do a echo $ODBCINI. This should return the path of your odbc.ini file. If this command returns empty, that means this variable is not set. In this case you will have to set your ODBCINI using the below command.
If you are using bash shell
export ODBCINI=/../boxir3/bobje/odbc.ini.
if this does not work try
set ODBCINI=/../boxir3/bobje/odbc.ini
Thanks

Tables not displayed in ODBC database connection (9.0.3.1035 Prod)

Hi,
In 9.0.3 production release, I have created a ODBC connection to a data source. When I open the connection, it shows all the schemas, but when I expand to see the tables, it shows none. I have tested the same in 9.0.2 and it works there. In Tools->Preferences->Database Connection, the two check boxes for "Show all oracle schemas" and "Generate PL/SQL debug " are turned off.
I ran an SQL select in "SQL worksheet" on one of the tables wihtout any problems, but the tables do not show up under schema.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Raju

What database/odbc driver are you using? It's possible that the way the driver is returning the metadata that JDev can't figure out where the tables are located.

ODBC ORACLE connection issue when trying to create a datastore. SAP Ds 3.2

I am at a client and I am trying to create an Oracle data store. I have an Oracle client installed on my laptop and an ORACLE driver. I can connect and query Oralce tables using Oralce tools on my laptop.
When I go to SAP DS to create a datastore I get an error message "Cannot find NT Oracle Server DLL <OCI.dll> Make sure Oracle has been installed and the PATH variable has been set"
The PATH is set correctly.
Creating a data store using Database Oracle give the above message.
If I try using ODBC it cannot find the oracle drive in the system list.
HELP

Hello
Are you using a supported version of Oracle? I hope it's not Oracle 7!
This is probably an installation issue, where is Data Services installed? If its Program Files (x86), try re-installing in C:\SAP or similar.
Your comment <<If I try using ODBC it cannot find the oracle drive in the system list.>> makes me wonder if the the Oracle client is not installed properly.
