ODBC Oracle 10g on BOE XI 3.1

Hello
I want to know if the installation of BOE has a ODBC driver for ORACLE in the installation route.
Or ORACLE has its own driver?
I checked the SAP Note 1292899 to download data direct drivers, but I can't find the link on SAP support portal.....
Thanks in advance
Oscar Barrientos

Hi,
I downloaded the Data Direct driver for Crystal Reports and installed it on the path of the BO installation.
I modified the odbc.ini with the next lines:
[ODBC Data Sources]
CLUB=DataDirect 5.3 Oracle Wire Protocol Driver
[CLUB]
Driver=/home/bobj/boe31/bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86/odbc/lib/CRora23.so
Description=DataDirect 5.3 Oracle Wire Protocol Driver
HostName=172.16.5.203
ServiceName=CLUB
PortNumber=1521
LogonID=club
Password=***
In the universe, I selected the Generic ODBC datasource for the connection.
But when I create a Webi report, I got this message:
A database error occured. The database error text is: [Crystal Reports][ODBC Oracle Wire Protocol driver][Oracle]TNS-12514: TNS: listener could not resolve SERVICE_NAME given in connect descriptor. (wis 10901)

MS Visual Studio 2005 + Oracle 10g = Cannot connect to ODBC error: 12154

Hi there!
I've read so many threads of same kind of problems but always some key elements seems to be missing so I cannot solve my problem with the solutions in those threads. So, I'll do my own.
Our environment is...
We have Oracle 8 database with all the data that we have. Now we have our new server, SQL Server 2005 installed and I am trying to transfer data from Oracle to SQL using MS Visual Studio 2005 using available ODBC drivers. System is Windows 2003 64Bit on intel based hardware.
Current installations and settings
I have installed Oracle 10g 32bit and 64bit to separate foldes. Then I made tnsnames and sqlnet files with right settings to specified folders and tested connection with tnsping <servername> command.
Both, 64bit and 32bit connections are working. (Used 32bit CMD for 32bit connection test)
ODBC
I added Microsoft ODBC for Oracle as 32bit driver and Oracle 10g driver for 64bit environment as ODBC driver.
Both environments uses same ODBC names: Myserver and Mytestserver
Debug
First, when I only had 64bit version of ODBC, I had a warning which said that I am using incompatible version of ODBC driver. Then I read from here that I can install 32bit client also and use drivers from that on 32bit ODBC environment and get rid of that message.
Tried to connect Oracle DB with SQL-Plus and it works.
Visual studio 2005 SP2
I have tried to use .Net Providers/Oracle Client dataprovider and .Net Providers for OleDB/Microsoft Old DB for Oracle and also .Net Providers for OldDB/Oracle provider for OldDB
Frist two gives me an error: ORA-12154 TNS: Could not resolve the connect identifier specified
Last one says that OraOldDB.oracle.1 is not registered on local machine
I have absolutily no idea what I can try next?
Anyone who has more ideas? Suggest anything. I might have tried that already, but give a shot anyway. :)

Access 2007 ODBC connect to Oracle 10g

I have configured MSAccess 2007 on my laptop with a ODBC data source to my Oracle Database and I can link to tables in the Oracle database and everything works.
I have placed the Access Database on a 64 bit server running Window 2003 r2 Enterprise x64 edition.
I have both the 32 bit Oracle 10g client and the 64 bit client installed on the machine.
I have configured a 32bit ODBC data source using the 32 bit Oracle ODBC driver.
When I click on the test connection button while setting up the data source it reports "Connection Successful"
I have configured the registry entires (for 32 bit and 64bit) with TNS_ADMIN =the location where we have our sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora files.
These files were configured to support the applications which run on this same server and they all function properly.
When I attempt to create a link table in Access, I select the datasource and I enter the password I receive an ORA-12154 error.
Any suggestions ?
Thank You

Thank YouProbably looking at the wrong tnsnames.ora.
Or your sqlnet.ora doesn't match the other with regard to DEFAULT_DOMAIN
Or your password has an "@" in it.

Cannot get ODBC data source to talk to Oracle 10g for Windows

Problem description
I recently installed Oracle 10g on my laptop computer, which is running Windows 7. Everything went smoothly except for one crucial item: The ODBC data source I added keeps returning this error when I click the "Test Connection" button:
Testing Connection
Unable to connect
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_ENV failed.
I was using the following ODBC driver
Oracle in OraDb10g_home1 (TNS Service Name = ORCL and User ID = scott)
This type of error happened, in one form or another for the three other Oracle drivers I have on my machine
Microsoft ODBC for Oracle
WinSQL Oracle
WinSQL Oracle Wire Protocol
These services are currently running (status = Started)
OractDBConsoleorcl
OracleMTSRecoveryService
OracleOraDb10g_home1iSQL*Plus
OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListener
OracleServiceORCL
(NOTE: I entered the foregoing information by hand, since I was not able to copy-and-paste it. So be aware that there is a small possibility of a minor typo in case you plan to cut-and-paste it.)
If requested, I can provide the contents of these files
tnsnames.ora
sqlnet.ora
listener.ora
Other installations on the same computer
ODAC (ADO data provider for Oracle)
SQL Server 2009 Express
.NET 4
Visual Studio 2010
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

OK, I went ahead and upgraded to Windows 7 Professional and I STILL get the same error messages when trying to get the Oracle ODBC driver to talk to Oracle 10g. Here are some screen shots that show what happened:
1) Select ODBC driver: http://yfrog.com/f3driverselectionp
2) Configure driver: http://yfrog.com/ccoracleodbcfororaclep
3) Test connection: http://yfrog.com/1goracleodbcfororacletestp
I also get the following error when I try to run SQL*Plus from the line command, even with no parameters:
C:\Users\Bruce>sqlplus
SP2-1503: Unable to initialize Oracle call interface
SP2-0152: ORACLE may not be functioning properly
Any suggestions as to how I might to go about diagnosing (and fixing) this problem?

Oracle 10g Express Edition Beta 3 ODBC Driver Always Crashes

I find that if you set up an ODBC Data Source for Oracle 10g Express Edition on Windows XP SP2 using the "Oracle in XE" driver, anything that tries to access it will crash, even the Windows ODBC Data Source Administratior if you click the "Test Connection" button.
Having clicked the button, you get a window coming up entitled "Oracle ODBC Driver" with a yellow exclamation mark in it, with no other text in the window except for an OK button.
If you press OK, then it crashes and goes through the "Please tell Microsoft about this problem" process....

Hi,
Thanks for your comment, but I can't get onto the XE forum.
I found http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/xe/forum.html which says:
Forum registration is possible only by downloading and installing Oracle Database XE. After installation, click on the "Registration" link from the Database homepage.
However I find that the "Database Homepage" does not exist.
Choosing the Oracle XE "Go To Database Home Page" takes my browser to http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex which is not available even though my oracle server is running and sqlplus can talk to it.
There's definitely nothing serving on tcp port 8080, as follows:
[dcampbel@clevo]~> telnet localhost 8080
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

Differences between Oracle 10G Client ODBC from 10.1.x to 10.2.x (datatype)

What differences where implemented to Oracle 10G Clients ODBC connectivity drivers between 10G Release 1 and Release 2 concerning datatypes?
I have an application that performs a qualified read returning a group of records (this is successful) and then performs a delete on each record read. No errors occur on completion of the application. When using release 1, the records are physically removed. Using release 2 a portion of the same group of records are not removed. The key for the table is a numeric field with six decimal places (not my design). My applications C code defines the field as a DOUBLE.

I certainly agree that something changed. The question is whether it was a change in function or not. With a lot of these sorts of errors, tracking down the "source" of the error involves finding a change in a piece of code that allowed what was always possible to actually occur. That is, you may have two pieces of code that are functionally identical but that end up allowing the sorts of "round off" errors that are always possible when using doubles. The driver might, for example, now be going down a code path where it shifts a number to the right or left rather than dividing or multiplying by 2, which may make this sort of thing more likely. Functionally, given that doubles don't guarantee infinite precision, these operations are identical, but one may be significantly more likely to cause problems.
Is your application using the ODBC API directly? Or is it going through a higher-level API? If you are going through ODBC directly, you might look to see whether the data types that are being returned by the driver to your code are the same across driver versions.

ODBC Error while Siebel Server try to connect to Oracle 10G

We have managed to get through with the configuration of siebel server on HP Unix. However before we get to the Database configuration, we are encountering errors with ODBC connection to oracle 10g database. We are able to connect to oracle using sql plus but odbc connection is failing. We verified for patches, missing files, directory access rights - but no clue as of now.
Our error says:
Logging into "ENTSIA_DEV_DAN" as "sadmin"....
/user/lib/hpux32/dld.so: Unable to find library 'libclntsh.so'.
ODBC error IM0003 in SQLConnect:
(DataDirect){ODBC lib} specified driver could not be loaded
Unable to login using specified odbc parameters
This has become a show stopped for us and we are strugging with this for the past three days without much direction.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
I guess your DataDirect Driver which gets registered during Database Configuration has some problems.
Can you check whether the DSN is using the proper Driver?
Also, the username through which you are logging in to start Siebel Services must have proper rights.
Many times on Windows platform i have noticied this error in ODBC due to improper user rights. If the rights are not proper, the DataDirect Driver fails to get loaded & throws similar error.

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.

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?

Windows Vista Oracle 10g Express Edition ODBC problem

Hi,
I am running my Oracle 10g Xpress Edition locally on Windows Vista Enterprise Edition. I am trying to create an ODBC connetion to the local XE using Window ODBC utility. I selected the Oracle in XE driver to create the connection, when I test it I get
Unable to connect

I am new to Oracle kindly excuse my ignorance :-)

I think you should probably download the file again, it might be corrupt.

Since we have been facing this issue for a long time, we decided on making use of the SQL_ATTR_LOGIN_TIMEOUT value before we issue a SQLConnect, but that driver doesn't seem to like that option even though it says its 3.5 compliant
lRetcode = SQLSetConnectAttr( OD_DBDBC(pCtx), SQL_ATTR_LOGIN_TIMEOUT,(SQLUINTEGER )10, SQL_IS_UINTEGER );
Setup details
Oracle 10g Release 1 Enterprise database server
App has been built using VC++6 and is running on Win2003 Enterprise Server
Our analysis has shows that the network was fine as other apps were able to connect to the database at that time
Question
1. Is this a Driver related issue? Because when we were using Merant ODBC driver, everything seems to be working fine!
2. Is there some patch that is out there which might resolve this issue?
If you all folks could help or provide some kind of advice , i would really appreciate that.
regards,
GG

Well, do you have a code example that causes it? Don't take this the wrong way, but I've seen more than a few badly written multi-threaded applications which do nothing but corrupt memory and use handles in non-threadsafe ways; all of which cause issues which rear their ugly heads in various odd ways. It may also be an Oracle bug, but comparing two different drivers does not mean it's not your application causing the crash as well.
If you could provide a quick little code sample which causes the issue, I'll take a look at it for you.

ODBC driver with Oracle 10G on 64bit Windows OS.

I m facing a issue with my peoplesoft application which is installed on Windows 2003 64bit OS.
Setup Details
Oracle 10G Server on AIX 5.3.
peoplesoft CRM tools 8.48,Oracle 10G client in on Windows 2003(64bit) installed.
When i open ODBC administrator from CRM its open showing all the drivers registred to 64bit registry. Whereas when i see ODBC admin from Control panel of OS , its showing driver register from 32bit. My observation is that oracle ODBC driver is getting registerd with 32bit and application is calling DDBCadmin of 64 bit. Hence driver is not getting registered with 64bit registry.

Hi kamlesh,
Thanks for your help, still i am not clear about installation on both nodes. once you install CI on one node you are giving the path of shared disk and if we go for other node then also we need to give the shared disk path : so will it or any other? if it is then alrady one usr and aracle folder exists after node A installation. Do you mean to say copy usr and oracle folder? please explain in detail, will be higly appreciable.

How to create ODBC connection between Oracle 10g and MS SQL Server

Hi,
Can someone help us with the steps to create an ODBC connection between Oracle APPS using Oracle 10g database and MS SQL Server.
Requirement is to extract the transactional data from MS SQL Server on a daily basis and dump it into Oracle tables for an interface to be run. Currently it is being done through Dataloader tool which we feel is causing the data issue with Arabic characters. We want to create the ODBC directly between Oracle and MS SQL Server and check if the data is being pulled correctly.
The data is in sql server 2000 which has data in Arabic_CI_AS character set which is moved to Oracle 10.2.0.3 database with characterset AL32UTF8. The table data is moved to oracle using the dataloader 3.6 standard edition licensed version. We cannot change the character set of Sql Server 2000.
Please help
Thanks
Shanil

Hi,
If you're trying to PULL data from SQLServer into an Oracle database, you wouldnt use Oracle ODBC driver for that, so you may want to post in the Heterogeneous Services forum instead:
Heterogeneous Connectivity
If you're trying to PUSH data from SQLServer into an Oracle database, you could use ODBC but most folks use OLEDB for that, and the following note on MOS should help:
How to Create a Sql Server Linked Server With The Oracle Provider for OLE DB (Doc ID 191368.1)
As with any NLS related issue, the first thing to do is dump the codepoints of the data in the Oracle database to see if it is stored validly, rather than relying on what the data "looks like" from some tool or other. It's best to check a single row, with only a few characters in it if you can, and you can do that via
SELECT DUMP(<columname>,1016) FROM <tablename> WHERE ...
Hope it helps,
Greg
