Oracle Heterogeneous Service - Description

How to acess MS-Access from Portal3.0.7.
Is it possible,else what is the alternative
to operate that database from Portal3.0.7.
Thanks,

I'm not an MS-access expert, but unless there is JDBC access to it, there is nothing specifically in the portal for Access connectivity.

Oracle heterogeneous services in 10g r2

The dba configured oracle heterogeneous services to connect to a SQL Server database.
The purpose of doing this is to select from a view in SQL Server.
We are able to select. But as soon as a where clause is introduced, the session just hangs.
So we thought it might be because we are accessing a view.
We then created a table in SQL Server and inserted all the data into the table. However, the select with a where clause does not work.
We then created a table in Oracle and selected from the view in SQL Server to insert data into the oracle table . Once the data is in an Oracle table, we are able to select and use a where clause. We do not want to bring data into Oracle as the data architect is trying to avoid a duplication scenario.
The DBA is not able to find what is wrong. Can someone please help. Have you seen a similar issue?
The oracle version is 10.2.0.4 and sql server is 2000.
Thanks,
ksd

If the application is using sequences, it cannot require that values are not skipped. Oracle sequences will never be gap-free. And assuming that there are multiple users, the order of transactions and the order of sequence generated values cannot be guaranteed.
I suppose that if your failover process was manual and scheduled and the downtime window was sufficient (i.e. you're failing over because you're taking one server down for scheduled maintenance, not because there was an unexpected fault), you could set up a script that would shut down the application, iterate over the sequences on the master getting the next value, alter the local sequences (presumably by altering the increment, selecting the next value from the local sequences, and returning the increment to 1), and then allow the application to start on the new server. If your downtime window is sufficient, when the primary has an unscheduled failure, you could potentially do a SELECT MAX(primary key) on each table on the local system (while the application is down), alter the sequences and then allow the application to start running. Neither is a particularly pretty option, and the latter option can be quite expensive if there is a lot of data.

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.

Do you have all of your parameter files set up correctly?
You need to have a hsora file in the hs/admin directory for ioi for instance, initioiDB.ora. In this file you need to set up your hs init parameters. This is an example of what's in one of mine:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = Mapics
HS_DB_NAME = MAPICS
HS_DB_DOMAIN = WORLD
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = ON
The you need to have an entry in the tnsnames.ora file in the network/admin directory for hsodbcxtrad. The sid should be set to ioiDB.
You can find documentation on how to manage heterogenous services in the online documentation.
Managing Heterogenous Services Using Generic Connectivity
Hope this helps
Eric
I have been trying to set up a database link between Oracle and SQL Server, currently both on the same Windows NT machine.
I managed to create the link as follows:
CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK ioi
CONNECT TO IOItest IDENTIFIED BY mba
USING 'hsodbcxtrad';
The link is created successfully.
I then try to run a query and get the following error :
select * from dealer@ioi
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:

18456)
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from IOI
I have added a UID and PWD to the registry settings for the SQL Server DSN but this makes no difference. Do I need to specify a username and password somewhere else ?
Thanks

Configuring Oracle Net Services for Oracle Heterogeneous Services

In the Oracle 9i Net Services Administrators Guide, it states that 3 parameters need to be included in the listener.ora in order to enable Heterogenous services. Can someone clarify what the Program Name should be set to? I'm not quite sure what is meant by agent executable. I'm trying to create a database link to and MS Access mdb DSn if that makes a difference.
Cheers

Richard,
The program is hsodbc. The listener entry should be something like this:
(sid_desc =
(sid_name = gc4excel)
(Oracle_home= c:\oracle\ora92)
(program = hsodbc)
The tnsnames entry should be
GC4excel =
(description =
(address = (protocol = tcp) (host = localhost) (port = 1521))
(connect_data = ( sid = gc4excel))
(hs=ok)
For more information on setting up Generic Connectivity please refer to the Heterogeneous Connectivity Administrator's Guide.

Using Oracle Heterogenous services to access sql server database table

I have created a dblink 'POC_HS' from oracle to sql (implemented heterogeneous services) and I am able to successfully pull out data from the default database that the DSN(for sql server) is connected to.
So this 'select * from Test@POC_HS' is working perfectly fine on the Oracle database as 'Test' table resides in the default database (which the System DSN is connected to).
But when I do 'select * Abc.Test@POC_HS' where Test table resides in 'ABC' database which is not the default database throws an error as follows:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist [Generic Connectivity Using ODBC][Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Invalid object name 'Abc.Test'.[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Statement(s) could not be prepared. (SQL State: S0002; SQL Code: 208)
I have also tried this 'select * from Abc.dbo.Test@POC_HS' but oracle throws this exception "ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended".
The dblink user and System DSN account has access to the 'Abc' database.
Thoughts?

Thanks for the info.
But suppose if we have DB link 'POC_HS' where POC_HS is a DBlink between oracle servers, I can do the following -
1. select * Abc.Test@POC_HS
2. select * Def.Test@POC_HS
where Abc,Def are the schemas which the Dblink user has access to. I can execute the above perfectly fine.
I wanted the achieve the same functionality from Oracle to Sql where database keep on changing dynamically . So according to you that's not possible right?
We will have to keep on changing the ODBC connection to a different database or create a new odbc/listener/tnsentry each time query uses a different database right?

Oracle Heterogenous Services using JDBC (not using ODBC)

Dear Friends,
I need to configure Oracle HS to connect with MS SQL Server using JDBC as our company don't want to go for ODBC connection.
Operating System is HP-UX
Oracle Database Version is
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bi
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.3.0 - Production
CORE 10.2.0.3.0 Production
TNS for HPUX: Version 10.2.0.3.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.3.0 - Production
Can anyone please help me.

The options you have for Heterogeneous Services are ODBC and OleDB.
JDBC is not an option.
The only other option is Transparant Gateway, a separately licenseable product.
I don't know whether Transparant Gateway relies on other drivers.
From the Sqlserver end there is MSDTC.
Oracle generally doesn't underdocument their products.
You can safely assume if it isn't documented, it isn't there.

Heterogeneous Connectivity

Heterogeneous Services & SQL Server

I understand that connecting an Oracle database to a SQL Server database can be done using the Heterogeneous Services which will set up a Transparent Gateway to the SQL Server data. Where can I get the agent needed to connect the two though? Are there different agents for different Oracle/SQL Server version combinations?
I have the paper 'Oracle8 Distributed Database Systems Release 8.0 A58247-01, Chapter 7: Administering Oracle Heterogeneous Services', and it is very helpful in getting the basics, but I need more info for my particular situation. Supposedly the agent has an Installationand User's Guide which would assist me also.

Do you have any pending statements in dba 2pc pending?
Your init parameters seems good. you need to check with the network guys for the packages sent from Oracle is received by sql server and vice versa. Hope there is no block on redirect ports.
You can enable tracing and see if you get any valid points in this direction.
As you said about trigger, look for the privileges in sql server does the user you are connecting has all the privilege on the associated tables. Also the conditions on the trigger has to be satisfied for the execution.
Also you need to add some HS parameters for the recovery in case you may need.

Hi,
The gateway file initMYSQL_LOCAL.ora should be placed in the directory -

which is the expected location. In your setup this should be -

If the file is already in that location then make sure that in the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora that in each section every line except the first line starts with at least one space -
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
<space>(SID_LIST =
<space>(SID_DESC =
LISTENER =
<space>(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
Tnsnames.ora
MYSQL_LOCAL =
<space>(DESCRIPTION =
<space>(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
However, there is also a problem with the tnsnames.ora file. You have -
Tnsnames.ora
MYSQL_LOCAL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = MYSQL_LOCAL)
(HS = OK)
) <=== move this bracket
but it should be -
Tnsnames.ora
MYSQL_LOCAL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = MYSQL_LOCAL)
) <=== bracket moved here
(HS = OK)
Of course, with spaces as shown above. They are often lost in the forums.
You may also need to change -
(HOST = localhost)
to -
(HOST = <actual host name>)
but it depends on your setup.
Try these changes and let me know what happens.

Heterogeneous Services & Oracle Generic Connectivity For DBF file?

Dear All,
Can We Create dbf file directly means without using CSV file?
Can we use Heterogeneous Services & Oracle Generic Connectivity for creating dbase DBF file or Writing in dbase DBF file?
I have used it for Excel and Access for connectivity with Oracle 9i
but I dont have any idea about dbase DBF file?
Any help in this reagards will be highly appriciatalble.
Thanks
Rana

HSODBC/DG4ODBC is generic connectivity and you find the generic setup in:
Note.109730.1 How to setup generic connectivity (HSODBC) for 32 bit Windows (Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003)
There is nothing sepcial for DBF's. Just define a system ODBC DSN using a DBASE ODBC driver pointing to the DBF file.
The rest is absolute similar to the note.
If you have already a running HSODBC/DG4ODBC the quickest test is to just define a new system dsn for the DBF file, then change in the init>hsodbc/dg4odbc>.ora file the HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO parameter pointing to the newly created system DSN. Last step is within the Oracle db to define a database link.
