Oracle BI Answers and ODBC

Hi,
I just want to know where we define ODBC connection name in Oracle BI Answers so the query pick the data from database.
I have created OBDC successfully but dont know where to define in BI Answers...
Regards

Hi,
may be I don't understand your question very well, but do you already have created an .RPD file?
So you can create a odbc connection, but before making use of answers, you will have to create an RPD file where you define the different objects you can use in answers.
If this rpd file already exists, you should be able to make use of ansers, also without the creation of an odbc connection. Just login to 'presentation services'

Oracle BI Answers Conditional Formatting

Hi,
Im using Oracle BI Answers and I am trying to set the colour conditioning function on the following graph:
On the X axis I have company branches, on the Y axis I have sales figures. The two values that I have projected on the graph are sales figures for the current month (first bar - bar A) against sales figures of the same month last year (second bar - Bar B). My requirement is to condition the colours on Bar A so that for each branch if Bar A is equal to Bar B, the colour for Bar A should be amber, if Bar A is greater then Bar B for each branch the colour should be red and if the Bar A is less than Bar B, the colour should be green. The colour on Bar B is always grey. I tried using the "Format Chart Data" setting on the Chart, and when I try setting the condition for Bar A, the only options I am given are the numbers on the Y axis; I cant seem to set a condition for Bar A against another variable - Bar B for each of the divisions on the same chart.
Any ideas how I can resolve that? Thank you in advance.

Thank you very much for your suggestion. I am having difficulties with the fact that the helper column has different values for each branch/division, and the column A cannot be conditioned against the helper column as it is not a constant value, but several different values. Also, if I hide the helper column, its values would not be shown in the conditional formatting option.
Do you have any ideas?
Thank you in advance.

MS Access and ODBC 80510 driver

When I import tables into my Access database the queries work fine however when I link to the tables using Oracle
ODBC 80510 driver the following selection criteria command does not work. [Forms]![Get Jobs By contact No form]![Combo2], if I use a literal value like "abc" it works. It appears that Oracle running the server does not understand the command, therefore no records are selected.
Can any one help?
Thanks, John

You need to create an ODBC data source to your Oracle 8 database,
and test it. Then in Access, use the get external data option
under the file menu. Select ODBC data sources, and pick the data
source you created in step 1. After you login, you should see
all the tables in your Oracle schema. You should use Oracle to
create the tables in Oracle, access will do it, but it will allow
lower case and spaces, and Oracle doesn't like that.

DB Function errors out when trying to use in both Answers and RPD file.

Hi All,
Its a strange behaviour that one function which is in Database works fine the other does not. I have created 2 DB functions and accessing them from OBIEE in both Answers and RPD. One function which returns a Date is working fine, the one which is returning a number is throwing a error.
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 16001] ODBC error state: S0022 code: 904 message: [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-00904: "APPS"."XXX_BUSINESS_DAYS": invalid identifier. [nQSError: 16001] ODBC error state: S0022 code: 904 message: [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-00904: "APPS"."XXX_BUSINESS_DAYS": invalid identifier. [nQSError: 16015] SQL statement execution failed. (HY000)

Both functions are in same schema, have the similar grants.
Please help me resolving this error. Any pointers in resolving this is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Vijay

I noticed that you have not specified the type of return value that the function returns. It is good practice to do so..
EVALUATE('DB_Function(%1)' as returntype, {Comma separated Expression}).
Try EVALUATE('APPS.XXX_BUSINESS_DAYS(%1,%2,%3)' as number,"Soft cost Fact"."Soft Cost Date","Soft cost Fact"."Soft Cost Date",1) to see if that resolves the error.
Also check this out if you haven't already.

Error to connect oracle 10g client and designer BO 4.0

hello,
I try to connect oracle 10g client and designer BO 4.0.
I created an ODBC connection to function in the administration tools of data sources but I can not connect once in designer.
I tried using the driver directly oracle designer 10 but I have the same error that is this:
DBD: ORA-12154: TNS: connection identifier specified could not be resolved
someone there had the same concerns?
cordially

Hi,
so it looks like that your TNSNAMES.ORA file isn`t properly configured. Thats why you can connect with the IDT to your Oracle Database.
Your DBA`s should sent you the correct TNSNAMES.ORA file or the entry for your DB prior. After the tnsping works, you will be able to use the IDT properly.
Regards
-Seb.

Oracle TO MSSQLServer vi ODBC Hangs

Hi everyone:
I'm trying to connect from an Oracle 11.2.0.3 on Solaris 10 (64 bit SPARC) to a MS SQL server 2000 using openlink odbc drivers 6.1 for SQL Server.
We can do a tnsping to the remore database and it works, but when we try to query any table from SQL Server connections hangs always in the same step.

Hi Tony,
It would be better to ask this question in the Heterogeneous Connectivity Forum -
Heterogeneous Connectivity
Issues connecting from Oracle to non-Oracle databases using Gateways are handled in that forum. This forum is for problems using the Oracle ODBC drivers.

Hi,
I made a basic report that is a client count; I want to know how many clients the company have.
But, when I run this report, Oracle BI Answers returned error:
"Query Status: Query Failed: [nQSError: 16001] ODBC error state: S1000 code: -1005018 message: [Sybase][ODBC Driver][Adaptive Server Anywhere]Illegal ORDER BY item Order Item: 'N0',
-- (opt_OrderBy.cxx 429) .
[nQSError: 16011] ODBC error occurred while executing SQLExtendedFetch to retrieve the results of a SQL statement."
I saw the log to see the SQL that was generated and Oracle BI used a alias for the Client Key. Incorrectly, in the "order by" sentence, Oracle BI used the alias insted the column that I choose.
The SQL generated was:
select 'N0' as c1,
count(*) as c2
from
(select distinct T1416.CLIENT_INTER_KEY as c1
from
(select *
from prd.D_SERVICE where SOURCE_SYS in ('ARBOR','PPB') and DW_SERV_ST_ID in (100000003,100000009)) T1836,
(select *
from prd.D_CLIENT) T1416,
(select *
from prd.D_CUSTOMER_ACCOUNT where SOURCE_SYS In ('ARBOR','PPB')) T1515
where ( T1416.DW_CLIENT_ID = T1515.DW_CLIENT_ID and T1515.DW_CUST_ACCT_ID = T1836.DW_CUST_ACCT_ID and T1836.MSISDN = '917330340' )
) D1
order by c1
Do you know how can I resolve this problem???

Note: Oracle at the time of installation to ensure that directory can not be installed with Chinese characters (if the first installation of a “database error loading areasQueries” mistake, the general is because Oracle installation directory with Chinese characters to the directory).
1. Cessation of all on the Oracle services.
2. Delete Oracle installation directory, mainly located in two places(As with the D-and C-directory below Program Files Below), when prompted to delete the mistake can not be deleted, restart the machine to remove it.
3. Registry, delete the contents.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE delete Oracle directory
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services beginning of the keys to Oracle.
Note: Oracle at the time of installation to ensure that directory can not be installed with Chinese characters.
If you have ArcSDE For Oracle, Oracle in the deletion of the key, can not be removed with the key ArcSDE keywords, or likely to cause ArcSDE can not run.

Oracle 9i Lite and Satellite Forms on the Palm

I would like to use Oracle 9i Lite 5.0.1with Satellite Forms EE 4.1 on the Palm
The docmentation from each company refers to the other company's documentation and no instructions seem to
exist. I am begining to suspect that to abilty to use Satellite Forms and Oracle Lite on the Palm does not actually
exist and that one must develop applications in C using Code Warrior or other tools.
I would like to use a Satellite Forms application on the Palm running with the RDK to access and store tables
stored in an Oracle Lite database on the Palm. I would then use the MSYNC to move data from the palm to
my Oracle 8.1.7 database server
Satellite Forms appears to store each of its tables as a separate pdb but oracle uses a single pdb for a database
containing multiple tables. There is a check box for Oracle compatible tables but not method to associate
satellite forms tables with an Oracle Lite database except for a link to an ODBC database. The Oracle ODBC drivers
point either to the Oracle database server or to an Oracle Lite database on a PC but not on a Palm.
I can move Satelittle Forms tables from the Palm to Oracle 8.1.7 using ODBC on the PC when I do a Palm Hot Sync
using the Satellite Form conduit
I can move Oracle tables from the Palm to 8.1.7 using MSYNC, the Oracle Mobile Server, and the Oracle Lite
http conduit
I do not know how to move Satellite Forms tables on the Palm to Oracle Lite tables on the Palm.
The only way to use Satellite Forms appears to be to move Satellite Forms tables on the Palm to Oracle Lite tables
on the PC and then use Oracle Lite Msync on the PC to move the data to the Oracle server. This seems to have no
advantage over going from Satellite Forms directly to the Oracle Server via ODBC
Does anyone have any additional information about current or future capabilities. There may have been something that
worked with older versions of Oracle 8iLite 4.0 and Satellite Forms 3.5, but I do not see anything that works now

According to Metalink Note:207303.1 - Client / Server / Interoperability Support Between Different Oracle Versions you shouldn't have problems, as long as your 9i Clients are at least 9.2.0.4.

Oracle(tm) Client and Networking Components were not found..

I installed Oracle 9i Client tools on my machine (Win2000 Server), and successfully installed the Oracle ODBC Driver, however, upon using "Oracle in OraHome92" option in my Administrative Tools System DSN I receive the following error upon attempt to connect to the database with my ASP scripts:
"The Oracle(tm) client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and part of Oracle Version 7.3.."
I also receive the following error on my page:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_ENV failed
I have tried every trick I know and at this point am out of options. If anyone has a suggestion I'd really appreciate it.
Thanx

Hi,
I have been trying to setup Microsoft ODBC drivers on my Win7 64 bit laptop to work with my code.
Every time it gives me an error msg "Oracle(tm) client and networking components were not found"
ple help me in this. i have tried downloading and installing odbc driver from oracle site but none work.
Can someone guide me as which other software need to be install.
here is the connection string I am using, please help:
strDBConnString = "Driver={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle};" & _
"CONNECTSTRING=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST="&THostName&")(PORT="&TPort&"))" & _
"(CONNECT_DATA=(SID="&TSID&")));Uid="&TUserID&";Pwd="&TPassword&";"
Thanks

APP SERVER and ODBC

I have a windows client application connecting to Oracle server
in the same LAN using ODBC.
If the Oracle server is moved to VAN and there is an Application
Server with it.
If i want my windows client application connecting to Oracle
server(VAN) using ODBC thru an Application Server,
What are things required to be changed ???
Thanks in advance.

Our ODBC driver has no problem working on multi-CPU machines. Assuming the ODBC connection is being made from the middle-tier application server to the back-end database, you should be fine.

How to configure distributed transaction in Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC? (ORA-02047)

I am connecting from Oracle to another database server (MS SQL Server, DB2 the error message is the same) through an ODBC connection using Oracle SQL Developer. (This is how I set up)
I want to query the schema of a non-Oracle database using the data dictionary mapping of the Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC.
This works well:
select * from all_tables@katimssql;
But this doesn't:
create table alltables_mssql as
select * from all_tables@katimssql;
Output:
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-02047: cannot join the distributed transaction in progress
ORA-06512: at "SYS.HS$_DDTF_SQLTABLES", line 58
ORA-06512: at line 1
Does anyone know the solution of this?
Thanks in advance,
Kata
Details:
Oracle Database 11g Express Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (SP2) - 10.0.4000.0 (X64)
ODBC Driver: SQL Server Native Client 11.0 (32 bit)
initkatimssql.ora:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=katimssql
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = ON
HS_TRANSACTION_MODEL = READ_ONLY_AUTOCOMMIT
I tried these, none of them worked, the error message is the same.
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = off
HS_TRANSACTION_MODEL = SINGLE_SITE
HS_TRANSACTION_MODEL = READ_ONLY_AUTOCOMMIT
HS_TRANSACTION_MODEL = READ_ONLY

Hi Kata,
this won't work as the ALL_TABLES is not a table that exists in your SQl Server - instead it is a "mimicked" table. This means the gateway will check if you have on your SQL Server a table called all_tables and when there's no table it will start an internal mechanism to check out what sort of tables exist in your SQL Server database. So the gateway is starting internally another transaction to get details from the foreign database and DG4ODBC can't participate in distributed transactions at all. Instead of using all_tables you have to use a real SQL Server table like SQ Server sys.objects or sys.tables.

About Oracle Heterogeneous Services and Oracle Gateway

Hi All,
I am very new at this topic, I want to know:
1)Oracle Heterogeneous Services and Oracle Gateway same or not?Need license or not?
2)If want Creating Database Link from Oracle 11g to Sybase AS 15.5 Using Oracle Heterogeneous Services what drivers should I install from my pc(windows 7) and from my server(Linux red hat 5)?please give me link for this
3)Is there any link Step by step to configure odbc until creating dblink?
4)what more convenient, connect sybase from Oracle Heterogeneous Services or Oracle Gateway?
Thank you so much for your help
Regards
JOE

Joe,
let copy/paste your questions and comment inline:
1)Oracle Heterogeneous Services and Oracle Gateway same or not?Need license or not?
Let me first clarify one thing, heterogeneous services is the generic mechanism in the Oracle database used by all gateways. The product you are talking about is the Database Gateway for ODBC or the Database Gateway for Sybase.
The Database Gateway for ODBC is available for Linux and Windows. It is the free product which does not require an Oracle license. The license is included in your database license. It is a generic gateway which allows you to connect with any suitable 3rd party ODBC driver to a matching foreign database. As it is a generic connectivity which aloows you to connect to real databases but also to MS Excel or even Text files as long as you have a suitable ODBC driver, its capability is very limited.
The more powerful gateway is the Database Gateway for Sybase. It covers the same functionality as DG4ODBC but it allows you also to work with distributed transactions, it allows you to call remote Sybase stored procedures etc. This gateway is design for Sybase ASE connections, so it is also able to map certain Oracle functions to Sybase equivalents. This Database Gateway for Sybase is NOT for free, it requires an additional license.
2)If want Creating Database Link from Oracle 11g to Sybase AS 15.5 Using Oracle Heterogeneous Services what drivers should I install from my pc(windows 7) and from my server(Linux red hat 5)?please give me link for this
That depends on your preferences. Both gateways are available for Linux and for Windows. When using DG4ODBC you only need to pay attention that you get a suitable 3rd party ODBC driver for this platform with the matching word size (64bit for 64bit DG4ODBC and 32bit ODBC driver for installations of DG4ODBC on 32bit platforms).
The latest software release is currently 11.2.0.3 and it can be downloaded (and installed from scratch) from "My Oracle Support". Just open the Patches & Updates section, look for Patch 10404530: 11.2.0.3.0 PATCH SET FOR ORACLE DATABASE SERVER and make sure to choose the platform you want to use. Then check out the readme as it lists which of these download CD's contains the gateway software.
BTW, the CD contains DG4ODBC and DG4SYBS and it is up to you to decide during the installation which product you want to use.
3)Is there any link Step by step to configure odbc until creating dblink?
The ODBC driver installation differs from vendor to vendor and platform to platform - so we don't have a specific note how to configure the ODBC driver. This kind of question is better handled by the ODBC driver vendor.
Regarding the set up of DG4ODBC on Windows you find suitable information in the knowledge base on My Oracle Support. Just look for:
How to Configure DG4ODBC (Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC) on Windows 32bit to Connect to Non-Oracle Databases Post Install          [Document 466225.1]
and for DG4SYBS:
How to Configure DG4SYBS (Oracle Database Gateway for Sybase) on 64bit Unix (Linux, AIX, HP-UX Itanium and Solaris) Post Install          [Document 437696.1]
How to Setup DG4SYBS (Database Gateway for Sybase) on a 64bit Windows          [Document 1319852.1]
4)what more convenient, connect sybase from Oracle Heterogeneous Services or Oracle Gateway?
It really depends on your needs. DG4SYBS is surly easier to install as this gateway comes with everything you need and you do not have to find a suitable ODBC driver nor get the ODBC driver working. It is also more powerful as you can for example use triggers that replicate data changes in an Oracle database to the Sybase database within the same transaction. When you want to call Sybase stored procedures you can also do that with DG4SYBS. So it really depends on your needs.

Oracle Database 10g and Oracle Client 9i together

Hi, I've been lost some nights in this problem, in my job I will need migrate my Oracle Database 10g for a new computer, on the other hand, there is a software in this computer wrote in Visual Basic and this running only Oracle 9i Client.
Is it possible configure my new server for run Oracle Database 10g and Oracle 9i Client together?
Thanks!
Emerson

You can certainly use an Oracle 9i client to connect to an Oracle 10g database. Technically, you may have to apply the 9.2.0.4 patchset to the Oracle client to be completely supported, but that may not be strictly necessary.
You can also have both a 10g database and a 9i client installed on the same machine in different Oracle Homes. You may have some issues on Windows, however, if you are using software that is not multi-home compliant (i.e. the Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle) or if you call Oracle command-line utilities (exp, imp, etc) without explicitly setting the PATH first.
