OWB 9.2 Sourcing from SQL Server 8.0

I looked at the PDF for sourcing from EXCEL and have a couple of questions with regards to sourcing from SQL server 8.0:
1. Do you need SQL ODBC driver installed to source from
SQL Databases?
2. Where does one get this driver?
3. How does one install this driver?

You can get the document you are looking for on http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/pdf/Cases/case3.pdf .
You should definitely have an ODBC driver for the SQL Server. Oracle provides the Oracle part wit the database ("generic connectivity"). Not sure about SQL server - I believe MSFT provides them free, if not you should purchase one.

Error updating data source from SQL Server ODBC into SQL Native Client 10.0

I am converting Crystal 8.5 reports into Crystal XI release 2. The data source was ODBC using SQL Server 2000 and pointing to a stored procedure. In the new server the data source has to be ODBC again, but it uses the SQL Native Client 10.0 Driver, because the new server is SQL Server 2008. I have copied the same old stored procedure on the new server and it works fine as a data source to a brand new Crystal XI report. But when I am opening an existing 8.5 version crystal report and updating the data source to the new location I get the error message "Some tables could not be replaced, as no match was found in the new data source".
I thought I could tackle this error by creating a temporary data source using the standard ODBC SQL Driver linked to the SQL 2008 Server instead of the SQL Native Client 10 ODBC. So I first updated the crystal data source to link to this temp ODBC using SQL Driver and it worked fine. But after that, when I try to update the data source to link to the SQL Native Client 10 ODBC, I get the same error again.
So I guess that the problem is not the new server itself, but the switch between SQL Server ODBC and SQL Native Client 10 ODBC.
Does anyone know what's going on with this SQL Native Client 10 in updating crystal report data sources?

CR XI does not support that driver. Try selecting the Native driver or upgrade to CR XI R2 for free and use SP4, 5 and 6 and then FP 6.4 or upgrade to CR 2008 and SP 3 and Fix Pack 3.3
Thank you

Problems when trying to import metadata from SQL server using OWB

Hi,
We are using Oracle 11.2 EE on AIX and OWB: 11.2. We are in the process testing Oracle Transparent gateway for SQL Server and have installed and configured it on a standalone windows server. We and have run the ORACLE_HOME\dg4msql\admin\dg4msql_cvw.sql on SQL Server side, in order to query the SQL-Server data dictionary. We have created a DB-link and can pull data correctly without any problems. When trying to import metadata in OWB Client on win xp, we have created a non-oracle SQL Server Module and are able to connect and start the import, but the displayed table names look strange and can not be imported. In front of every letter there is a square box, so instead of ADDRESS (the address table in the source system) , it reads "squarebox"A"squarebox"D"squarebox"D"squarebox"R"squarebox"E"squarebox"S"squarebox"S and subsequently the import fails with :API0413: Illegal name [<tablename>] Name with preceding and trailing spaces is not allowed.
The gateway have been configured with the following parameters:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=<connect string>
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=OFF
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_ACCOUNT=RECOVER
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_PWD=RECOVER
HS_LANGUAGE=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
Any ideas ?
This topic has been posted in the Heterogenious Forum as well, but as the problem is within OWB, I also post it here.
Thanks in advance!

Henrik,
I've found other problems where OWB adds a space between all characters returned from SQL*Server which is what is happening in your case, although it is being displayed as a square box.
In one of these cases the problem was fixed by using the 11.2.0.2 OWB so would it be possible for you to try with that version ?
Also, as the problem is not with the gateway itself as you can select successfully using a database link then it would be better to follow up in the OWB forum -

Loading data from SQL server 2000 to Oracle using OWB 10.2

Hi All,
I have to move data from SQL server to Oracle using OWB. Any idea how to connect to SQL Server thru the OWB design centre console. There is no detail available in the documentation. OWB cocumentation says that "OWB Integrator for Oracle DB & Apps 3.0" is available to connect to Non-Oracle Database (including Sybase, Informix, ODBC).

Hi,
yes, you can use ODBC and configure HSODBC on the database server to create a database link to the sql-server. If your oracle server is microsoft based you are ready, otherwise you have to buy an odbc-driver for linux, unix or whatever you use.

OWB 11.2, ODBC to SQL Server - metadata import problem

Hi All,
We are using Oracle on 64-bin linux and sql server 2000. We also using OWB11.2 both on Windows and Linux.
We installed open source ODBC on linux (freeTDS) and created dblink to sql server – connection works just fine and we can retrieve data from sql server using standard tools like TOAD, SQLDeveloper, or sqlplus. But when I create ODBC module in OWB11.2 and try to import metadata (tables) from sql server I have the following error:
SQL Exception
SQL Exception
Persistent Layer Error:SQL Exception..
Class Name: CacheMediator.
Method Name: getSQLResult.
Persistent Layer Error Message: ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[FreeTDS][SQL Server]Procedure 'sp_columns' expects parameter '@table_name', which was not supplied. {42000,NativeErr = 201}
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[FreeTDS][SQL Server]Procedure 'sp_columns' expects parameter '@table_name', which was not supplied. {42000,NativeErr = 201}

ORA-06512: at line 1
ORA-02063: preceding 7 lines from OWB_604
. (etc)
When connected to sql server using the account used in dblink I can execute sp_columns without any trouble so it’s not a security issue.
Did anybody experience the similar problem?
BTW we successfully used similar technique for Sybase as a source and Oracle (10.2) as a target using OWB 10.2 a few years ago.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex
It may be a problem with the ODBC driver for the queries executed to import the catalog metadata. Sometimes you get drivers that 'seem' to work for querying the data but for access the metadata to reverse engineer problems arise. Are you using the latest greatest version of the ODBC driver? If logging was turned on in the client (see here ) probably would be able to get the last query fired at the gateway and this would be the culprit.
One alternative option is to use a remote database gateway agent (now possible in 11g) on the Windows machine, which you can then access from your linux host.
Cheers
David

JDeveloper 11.1.1.2.0 - Panel Dashboard using Data from SQL Server 2008

Hi All,
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.1.2.0 and am trying to create a cross application dashboard. This dashboard would show 2 panel's of data from an Oracle Database (Already completed this) and two panel's of data from a SQL Server 2008 Database.
I have successfully installed a SQL Server 2008 database locally on my machine. I have downloaded the JDBC drivers from the Microsoft website and I have two JAR Files:
* sqljdbc.jar
* sqljdbc4.jar
I have created a SQL Server connection within the JDeveloper connections panel and I can successfully query my database.
I have created a New application module and set its connection to a JDBC connection with the credentials specified within the Connections tab. I then added the two JAR files as libraries to the Model project and
ran the Application Module tester. This succesfully shows some records.
Within the View Project I Created a new page and dropped the View Object on as a table. I then go to Run the page and get an error relating to the JDBC drivier not being found. I have read a few posts about adding it to Weblogic lib files and modifying the start up scripts but can anyone give me a definitive working solution? I also tried changing my Application Module to using a DataSource, but I also have the same problem within the Weblogic console (it cannot create a data source for SQL SERVER as it does not have the drivers).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the responses.
I have edited C:\oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\common\bin\commEnv.cmd to add the entries as follows...
set WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH=%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar;%BEA_HOME%\utils\config\10.3\config-launch.jar;%WL_HOME%\server\lib\weblogic_sp.jar;%WL_HOME%\server\lib\weblogic.jar;%FEATURES_DIR%\weblogic.server.modules_10.3.2.0.jar;%WL_HOME%\server\lib\webservices.jar;%ANT_HOME%/lib/ant-all.jar;%ANT_CONTRIB%/lib/ant-contrib.jar;%WL_HOME%\server\lib\sqljdbc.jar;%WL_HOME%\server\lib\sqljdbc4.jar
You can now see the additional entries at the end of the classpath.
The Weblogic home is set as follows set WL_HOME=C:\oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3
I have placed the files in C:\oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\lib
I restarted the server. Logged into the Weblogic console and tried to create a datasource with the Microsoft Drivers but still no luck. I gave the Oracle Microsoft Driver a go and it seemed to work! I'm guessing that there is a driver bundle in.

Migration from SQL Server 7 to oracle 8.1.7 on windows 2000 professional

Hello All,
I am currently working on Database migration from sql server 7 to oracle 8.1.7.
My setup is as follows:
1. Both the databases (sql server and oracle are on the same machine )
2. My sql server database contains 200 tables and 190 stored procedures, which need to be migrated to oracle.
When i am trying to capture the Source database details, its capturing evry thing but when its mapping at the end ...it says "MAPPING ROLE PUBLIC" and its not proceeding furthur..What do u want me to do ? i waited for approx 1 hr , still its not proceeding....How to resolve this bug ?
Also please suggest me the best methodology for Migrating the stored procedures. allmost all my stored procedures have TEMP Tables implemented in it. Please help me in this...
Also please let me know the Timeframe estimate for this total thing to be done..
Waiting for your reply,
Thanks and Regards

Related to migration of db from sql server to oracle 11 g

We're trying to migrate a Sql server managment studio database to Oracle 11g using SQL Developer 4.0. We can successfully connect to both Sql server managment studion 8.0 and Oracle 11g using the tool, as well as click through the Migration Wizard and start the migration.
This opens the Database Migration dialog box, which indicates the capture process starts normally. we get the following error:
ora :01440 : can not insert null into migrlog (id column) ,
\and then after some time , i get an error that migration failed
i am not getting the reason,I thing it may be due to reason that , I have table's column in my source db with more than 30 character.
If i am migrating one by one table . then it is not giving any error, and identifier name is getting shrink in 30 character. but i am not getting the view , stored procedure , indexes , and others
then what is the solution for that, somebody pls suggest any help?????????????

Pl do not post duplicates - related to migration of db from sql server to oracle 11 g
Continue the discussion in your original thread
The error message is explicitly clear
ora :01440 : can not insert null into migrlog (id column)
Your process is trying to insert a NULL value into the ID column, which presumably cannot be NULL

Extract the data from SQL Server and Import into Oracle

Hi,
I would like to run a daily job that will export the table data from SQL server table (it will be only one or two table) and Import back into Oracle table (it might one or two table tables).
Could you please guide me that how can i do this using either sql server or oracle?
We have oracle 9.2 and sql server 2005.
Normally i do from flat file which is generated by source destination nand i dump into oracle using sql*loader but this time I have to directly extract/export the data from MS Sql server and load into Oracle table, mostly it will reload so i might doing any massaging data during the load.
If you show me the detail approach, it will be really appreciated.
I have access to Sql server but i don't how to use sql server to do this or using oracle as a daily job even becuase have to schedule the job for this as it will be a daily job.
Thanks,
poratips

Unless you can find an open source ODBC driver for SQL Server that runs on Solaris (and I wouldn't be overly hopeful there) Heterogeneous Services would require that you license something-- a third party ODBC driver, a new Oracle instance, or an Oracle Transparent Gateway.
As I stated below, you could certainly use SQL Server's ETL tool, DTS. Oracle's ETL tools would require additional licensing since you're just on 9.2. You could also write a small application (Java or otherwise) that connected to both databases and transferred the data. If you're particularly enterprising, you could load the SQL Server Type 4 JDBC driver into Oracle's JVM and write a Java stored procedure that connected to the SQL Server database via JDBC, but that's a pretty convoluted approach.

Desc doesn't show datetime columns from SQl Server

Hi Everyone,
I have working db link to sql server using hsodbc:
Oracle 10.2 on AIX using freetds odbc driver version 0.82.
I can access tables on sql server but oracle sees only varchars and numerics columns in a table.
Is there a way to select datetime columns from sql server using hsodbc?

when hsodbc does not show a certain data type it is commonly related to the fact that HSODBC doesn't support the related ODBC data type.
In general you have a data type in your SQL Server which is mapped to an ODBC data type by the ODBC driver. HSODBC then maps the ODBC data type to an Oracle equivalent and when the ODBC data type isn't supported by HSODBC it just drops it from the select list.
So for a root cause analysis an ODBC trace is required to determine the mapping of the FreeTDS ODBC driver.
With this info we can then compare the mapping documented in the HSODBC manual and if the ODBC data type isn't listed as a supported data type you then need to cast the data type on the source side to a different data type (for example varchar/char).
So please post the ODBC trace and I'll have a look.

Problem in Import of Tables from SQL Server.

Hi Forum,
I m new to OWB.
I m facing a prob regarding the import of tables.
I m importing tables from SQL server through ODBC DB Link..
It imports the tables fine, but without key constraints..
Can u tell me, Why? and How can I import that info as well?

Hi David,
The things I said are not a fix for this problem.
If your RCU installation worked, then you do not have to worry about modifying the createfr.sql.
Edit:
I've just tracked the problem. It appears that when using the query builder, BI forgets to add the " sign.
For example:
This query will give the hyperion error.
select     "table"."field"
from     "database.user"."table"
To correct it write it like this:
select     "table"."field"
from     "database"."user"."table"

Reading milliseconds from Sql server into oracle 10g

Hi,
We have a very time sensitive pressing requirements to be addressed immediately.
We need to read the date time column from sql server 2008 into oracle 10g.
We have a dblink established between the two servers and have tried to use sql server and sql native client 10 driver to read the dates from sql into oracle.This we are able to do very successfully.
The issue is in reading milliseconds stored in sql server.The millisecond part comes in as 00000 from sqlserver to oracle.These milliseconds are needed to identlfy the unique records.
For instance
SQL SERVER Oracle
source_id source id
01/01/2012 6:30:35:456 01/01/2012 6:30:35:000000.
Im issuing my query through Toad via Oracle to remote sql server using a dblink which connects using HS ODBC connection to sql server 2008(remote).
We have no control over sql server Db as this is remote third party DB.We just have select access to their tables to bring into our own oracle DB.
Any insight or help will be much appreciated.

Hi,
Could you please send the following information -
- what version of HSODBC are you using ? Is it a 10.2 version ?
- what is the SQL*Server datatype of the column you are reading ?
- from Oracle could you issue -
describe sql_server_table@hsodbc
- what is the Oracle datatype shown for the column ?
Could you also run your tests using SQLPLUS instead of TOAD ? We don't support TOAD and need to know if the problem also happens when using SQLPLUS, to avoid it being a TOAD problem.
Also, 10.2 HSODBC is now desupported and you should be using the 11g Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC) which is a direct replacement for HSODBC. To use DG4ODBC your RDBMS needs to be at 10.2.0.4 or higher and DG4ODBC should be installed in a completely separate ORACLE_HOME from the existing 10.2 install.

Mike

How to extract incremental data from SQL server to oracle tables in ODI

HI All,
In my ODI sql server is install.My Source is in SQL server and my target is in Oracle.
I need to create a interface mapping where i need to extract incremental data from sql server to oracle.
There is a datetime(with Timestamp) field in sql server .I need to pull incremental data based on dateime.
Example = tablename.DateTime > (select '1-jan-11' from dual) .....i am using this query but its not woking.the error is Invalid object name"dual".
We are not going to use Incremental in IKM and LKM.
Request you to please provide any suggestion ASAP.
Thanks,
Lony

You can do that via Variable.
In the interface mapping create a filter on Tablename.DateTime
and put the condition like this
Tablename.DateTime BETWEEN #VAR and in the variable use this query in refreshing tab with oracle schema
SELECT max(start_time)||' AND '||max(END_TIME)+1 from audit_table where ETL_JOB_CODE = '20'In the package call the above variable in refresh mode and then interface.
This way you will pass from the query between and condition date and pass to interface so that SQL Server fetches the data between those too range.
Note:- You might need to tweak the date format so that SQL Server can understand.
Hope this helps.
