ODBC Problems

Hi,
I have installed OBIEE and I am trying to edit the default repository.
My machine also has the 10g client installed.
I have created an ODBC Data Source to a 10g database.
In the repository it is possible to load the table definitions into the physical layer etc.
But, when I try to update the row counts or view the data I get the following error ...
[NQODBC][SQL_STATE:HY000][nQSError: 10058] A general error has occured.
[nQSError: 43093] An error occured while processing the EXECUTE PHYSICAL statement.
[nQSError: 16001] ODBC Error state: 08004 code:12154 mesage [ORACLE][ODBC][Ora]ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
Can anybody shed any light on this problem please?
I can connect to the database using SQL PLus, SQL Developer etc but it is only in the Admin tool that I cannot view the data. I have tried different variations on my connection pool such as using OCI or qualified table names but this does not make any difference.

Hi Joab,
Thanks for the suggestion ...
I have changed the nqsconfig.ini file so that the security section is now exactly this ...
# There are 3 types of authentication. The default is NQS
# You can select only one of them
#----- 1 -----
#AUTHENTICATION_TYPE = NQS; // optional and default
#----- 2 -----
AUTHENTICATION_TYPE = DATABASE;
[ DATABASE ]
DATABASE = "ORACLE Data Warehouse";
#----- 3 -----
#AUTHENTICATION_TYPE = BYPASS_NQS;
Then in the Admin tool my connection pool has the following attributes ...
Name = 'Connection Pool'
Call Interface = ODBS 3.5
Datasource Name = SOATRAIN
Require Fully Qualified table names = 'n'
shared logon = 'y'
Username = 'ORA2'
Password = ********
Enable Connection Pooling = 'y'
This is still not working. Am I doing anything wrong, I have also tried using <user>/<password>@SOATRAIN in the Datasource Name and this does not work also.
Many thanks for any help in advance.
Best Regards

Crystal Report 13 Visual Studio 2010 SQL Server 2008 R2 ODBC Problem

Hi Everybody,
I am new in Crystal Report.
I developed a web application in Visual Studio 2010, and my Database is SQL Server 2008 R2.
I created reports using Crystal Report 13 in Visual Studio and my Operating System is Windows 7 32-Bit.
I used ODBC Connection System DNS for my application.
It is running fine even after Hosting on my local PC.
But it creates problem when hosted on my Team Leader PC and Test Server.
Their Configurations are same but only difference is "SQL Server 2008" Not R2
The Error I am getting is "Failed to open the connection".
When I Host the same on my another team member PC, I am getting the error like
"Failed to open the connection. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 4060 ] Database Connector Error: ' [Database Vendor Code: 4060 ]' Failed to open the connection. Failed to open the connection. TestVr {CE268132-D2BD-43EC-BE45-0BCD847FBCDA}.rpt Details: [Database Vendor Code: 4060 ]"
I tried various solution to fix this bug.
But i am unable to do this and not getting any idea to fix this issue.
If anyone can guide I will be thankful to him.
All suggestions are appreciable.
Thank you

Hi,
Please use the top right search box. for ex below search which will return many useful kb's, articlea and forum threads where simillar issues are discussed.

Most probably the issue is missing database client driver / provider.
Install the driver used to connect the rpt to the db on the server and then create a 32 bit DSN with the same name as the dev machine..
Hope this helps,

ODBC Problems with SQL Server 2012 on Virtual Machine

I am having problem with my application after my IT department upgraded to SQL Server 2012 with error "ConngetDataToModify.vi:1"<ERR>Object 0x2222222 is not valid. I have 4 servers running the same executable without problem before the upgraded. However, after the upgrade 2 of these Server are having the problem with the ODBC connection. Here are my setup, the application was created using LabView8.5, we have 2 physical server box running Window Server 2003, 2 Virtual Machine on Windows Server 2008, and a Virtual Machine with SQL 2012 Server. The 2 physical server running the executable without a problem after the upgrade, but the 2 Virtual Server were unable to connects to the ODBC connection. Anyone have any idea why this is happening , it is the problem with compatibility between my application with Server 2008 and SQL 2012 Server, or is there a problem with both beings Virtual Servers? As I said, the 2 physical Server seem to be running without any problem with the upgrade.

My guess is that the problem is not specifically with LV. This should be relatively easy to check if you create a UDL file and double click it. This opens a Microsoft wizard which allows you to configure and test DB connections (the UDL file itself is basically just a text file which holds a connection string). If it doesn't work there, it won't work in LV.
As for what the actual problem is, a common culprit is the firewall, which is easy enough to check by disabling it. Another option is the surface area configuration of SQL Server, which will not allow network connections unless you tell it to.
It should probably also be noted that LV 8.5 is not officially supported on Windows Server. I'm assuming that's not the issue, but be aware of it.

ODBC problems with Oracle 8.1.5 on Windows 2000

Hi,
I have got a problem when i configure ODBC on Windows 2000.
When I test the driver with ODBC test driver, the programs doesn't respond when i use Oracle ODBC Driver first but responds when I use Microsoft Driver For Oracle first and then Oracle ODBC Driver.
Then I have a system 5 error when I use ODBC with ASP.
Is it Oracle 8.1.5 which is not compatible with Windows 2000 or a problem in Windows 2000 configuration ?
Best regards
Ronan

I think I was having the same problem; programs attempting to connect w/ODBC (including ODBCTest) would hang. After downloading and installing a newer ODBC driver from oracle (for me 8.1.5.5 worked), I was able to connect. Hope this helps!

Oracle 9i ODBC Problem

Hi all,
I am using Oracle 9i under Win2k.
I have 2 databases running namely WHORA2K & LS and theirs listeners ORAWIN2K & LSWIN2K resp.
When i use ODBC Manager and try to connect the databses using service name they work properly and also when provided in host string.
The Real Problem comes when i create connection string in VC++ as it connects databse LS always when i write following in connection string tried the following connection string patterns.
USED SID
1. strMasterConnection = "DRIVER={Oracle in OraHome92}";ConnectionString=WHORA2K;UID=SYSTEM;PWD=MANAGER;
USED SERVICE NAME
2. strMasterConnection = "DRIVER={Oracle in OraHome92}";ConnectionString=ORAWIN2K;UID=SYSTEM;PWD=MANAGER;
USED SERVICE NAME
3. strMasterConnection = "DRIVER={Oracle in OraHome92}";ConnectionString=SRVR=ORAWIN2K;UID=SYSTEM;PWD=MANAGER;
USED SERVICE NAME WITH PROTOCOL AND SID
4. strMasterConnection = "DRIVER={Oracle in OraHome92}";ConnectionString=SRVR=T:ORAWIN2K:WHORA2K;UID=SYSTEM;PWD=MANAGER;
ANY GUESS HOW CAN I MAKE THIS RUN. AS I WANTED TO CONNECT BOTH THE DATABSES ONE BY ONE.
HELP.
RGDS
LALIT SETH

Well
No Errors as such but some amazing facts are
1. If i close the Sencond Database which is always accessed named LS then i try to connect if get TNS Protocol Adapter Error. as i m trying to connect on first database named WHORA2K.
2. If i execute the exe in batch file with a line above then i picks up which is
set ORACLE_SID=WHORA2K
3. By using setenvironmentvariable in vc++ i can connect to both the database as i change the values of %ORACLE_SID% AT RUNTIME.
This is wht i found to make it wrk as there shld be some other best way to doing it.
Thnks

What kind of ODBC driver problems are you having?
I'm having some ODBC driver problems myself and the error message is "The ODBC resource DLL (C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ODBCINT.DLL) is a different version than the administrator (C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ODBCAD32.EXE)"...
Are you having the same problem?
Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem?

JDBC/ODBC Problem

I have wrote a JApplet code that using JDBC/ODBC bridge to connecting a local Database (MS Access).

I would suggest asking in a different forum since this has nothing to do with JDBC. Perhaps the 'Signed Applets' forum.

ODBC Problem for MSAccess file as Source data extraction

Hi, Please dont ignore this posting. Please try to help in providing relevent solution to my problem. I believe, my previous posting didnot convey you. Let me explain my problem to you. I have MSAccess database file(.mdb) to process. I am able to process for 1(One) file. I am testing for multiple files submission. As the ODBC points on the file1 and when i need to submit file2, its not allowing me to do a sql query. says, 'Database access Error'. I am trying to work on usual way, that is, moving file from Incoming to Processing folder where the processing folder holds the ODBC pointer on the file, here the file cannot be deleted as the job going to fail. For this reason, i am replacing the file which is under Processing folder and trying to access the file same time, but it fails with the 'Database access Error'. I have tired using DI exec() for replacing file and also tired using the batch script. Here i find the DI is one step behind using the batch script. When i use Batch script it replaces the file in Processing folder and fails with above error but when i use the DI exec() and pass the parameters to Replace file from incoming folder to Processing folder, the job does't support Replace command,instead it starts processing the existing file(ODBC pointer file). I think DI has peculiar problem in this situation. Please advice and show the way how i can fix this. 

How can the ODBC driver still hold a handle on the previous file if the dataflow stopped and hence its process stopped. Can you try with a different application, e.g. excel to do the same manually just to figure it is not a problem of the ODBC driver itself?

Jdbc:odbc problem with SqlDeveloper

Hi Forum!
My organization is evaluating moving to SQL Developer, the only obstacle for this is that we are running Oracle RDB on a VAX machine, RBD requires a special client driver that is able to work with ODBC, which is what we usually do, I am trying to setup a connection using an ODBC DSN with jdbc:odbc:DSNName, I tested this same JDBC URL with a small java class and it runs just fine, so the problem is that in SQL Developer I get an "Failure: -invalid connection information specified. Verify the URL format for the specified driver".
* Has anyone been successful in configuring an ODBC connection on SQL Developer?
* Any suggestion as to how to connect to Oracle RDB using SQL Developer on Windows XP?
Thanks a lot!
Ignacio

Hi,
My experience is the following:
- Install Oracle SQL services 7.2 on Alpha machine.
- Configure an OCI (SQLNET) service in SQL services layer.
- Prepare my Rdb database 7.2 to run SQLNET (RDB_NATCONN scripts) and depending on version add users.
- configure the SQLNET layer (TNSNAME) on client side (warning the default VLS listener port is 1527 on VMS instead 1521).
- start SQL Developper and connect Rdb database via TNSNAME.

Strange ODBC problem with 64 bit (x64) 10.2 client

Hi,
I'm encountering a strange problem with the 64 bit ODBC driver that comes with the 64 bit (x64) 10.2 client. I have installed the client and that all went fine, and I can use sqlplus to access my databases.
Now, I have setup an ODBC datasource using the Oracle ODBC driver that gets installed and if I click on the Test button and provide correct login information I get connected just fine.
So, now if I attempt to use this ODBC datasource from a 64 bit program that I am writing, I get the following error message :
[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
I'm know my program is ok because I have tested it with other ODBC drivers and they work. I can't seem to determine what exactly I'm missing that is making this not work. I have set the environment variables TNS_ADMIN and ORACLE_HOME to point to the correct places - I think, but that doesn't help. Also, the Oracle \bin directory is in the path as I thnk it should be.
I'm stumped. Does anybody have any idea what could be the problem here ?
Thanks,
Nick

Hi,
I tried that and I couldn't get it to connect using the Oracle ODBC driver. It worked fine if I picked a SQL server ODBC datasource, but not an Oracle one. With the Oracle ODBC DSN, I don't even get an Oracle message, I get an ODBC configuration error.
I'm pretty sure that the Oracle ODBC driver is 64-bit since the ODBC admin program is a 64-bit program and it is able to do the test ok.
I'm think that the when using the ODBC driver, there is something in the environment or in the naming of the DSN that I am doing wrong

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
SQLState=S1000
[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-28547: connection to server failed, probable Oracle net admin error...
I am new to Oracle kindly excuse my ignorance :-)

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

Hi,
in case you update Access Connection, you must already have also following updates installed:
- Power Management driver
- Power Manager
-Hotkey utility
- System interface driver
- Wifi driver <for AC 5.x it must be 13.x version>
<all of course with the latest version>
Once this all is installed, you can install AC .
Let me know, if you have also the latest version of the above driver/updates on the system prior to the installation of AC .In case not, just remove AC, install the above mentioned updates and then install AC 5.x

About installanywhere with odbc problem!

I have a application connected to a database throuth odbc, I don't know whether I can use installanywhere to add the database to the windows' odbc while installing.
if so, after installing, my application can run.
thanks a lot.

We do that (sort of) for our app. We created a registry file (.reg),
and execute that when InstallAnywhere finishes. That udpates the registry with our ODBC settings. This works pretty well, but it does require an extra click or two by the user.

SELECT DISTINCT jcbc:odbc problem

I'm writing an application which uses the jdbc:odbc bridge.
One of the sql statements is a SELECT DISTINCT.
The exact sql is simply:
"SELECT DISTINCT collection FROM collections"If the sql I use is put into Access, it returns the two unique records, as desired. However, when I use it in Java, I get 10 records returned (i.e. the number of records in the table) - the first two are the correct two unique records, whilst the remaining 8 are simply null.
Any ideas why?

It's a matter of interpretation, how null values are handled for DISTINCT and also for grouping by the GROUP BY clause.
A DBMS must choose one of these alternatives:
1) You can ignore null. This is, what your Access seems to do.
2) You can handle null as one value, so DISTINCT returns 1 row that's standing for all null values.
3) You can handle each null as one value, so DISTINCT returns all null value rows. This is, what you get with Java. (I'm not sure if it's JDBC generally or your specific driver.)
The background: "null" means: "unknown". And if two values are both "unknown", you can't simply say: they are equal.
Btw. you encounter a similiar interpretation matter for null values by sorting: is null the biggest or the smallest value?
If you are not content with your DBMS' interpretation of null values or - what I would recommend - want to be independant from the interpretation at all, you should deal with the null values explicitely.
So in your example - obviously you don't want the null values at all:
For Access and Java use:"SELECT DISTINCT collection FROM collections WHERE NOT collection IS NULL"
