OWB showing unrecognisable/chineese characters for Non-Oracle schema

Hi
I am trying to implement a warehouse using OWB (11g) with a Peoplesoft data source.
I have installed the database gateway for SQL Server and created a database link which allows me to query the PeopleSoft data through SQL plus, no problem.
However, when I try to import the Metadata (create the tables) in OWB, the table list within the Object selection appear in unrecognisable/chineese characters? This is also the case if I try to select a schema within the Location setup for this connection.
Any ideas anyone please?

Thanks for the reply.
The taget db has the following:
NLS_LANGUAGE = AMERICAN
NLS_TERRITORY = AMERICA
NLS_CHARACTERSET = AL32UTF8
I have tried setting the following parameters within the init<>.ora file:
HS_LANGUAGE=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
HS_NLS_NCHAR=UCS2
but no joy

  • Mapping deploy for Non-Oracle Data Source hangs

    Hi All,
    I am trying to deploy mapping for Non-Oracle Data Source and it hangs.
    Oracle version is 10.2.0.3 and OWB version is 10.2.0.1.3.1
    It would be really appreciated if you can help.
    Thanks!
    PS.

    That helpes quite a bit. I still can't get the app to retrieve data, but I am getting a more useful message in the log:
    [Error in allocating a connection. Cause: Connection could not be allocated because: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied]
    As you suggested, I removed the <default-resource-principal> stuff from sun-web.xml and modified it to match your example. Additionally, I changed the <res-ref-name> in web.xml from "jdbc/jdbc-simple" to "jdbc/oracle-dev".
    The Connection Pool "Ping" from the Admin Console is successful with the user and password I have set in the parameters. (it fails if I change them, so I am pretty sure that is set up correctly) Is there another place I should check for user/pass information? Do I need to do anything to the samples/database.properties file?
    By the way, this is the 4th quarter 2004 release of app server. Would it be beneficial to move to the Q1 2005 beta?
    Many thanks for your help so far...

  • Can Jdeveloper Be Used For Non-Oracle Databases

    I have been trying to evaluate Jdeveloper 9i and Jbuilder 7 Enterprise for Swing database development. I am particularly interested in the productivity enhancements such as BC4J and Jclient. The underlying database might be Oracle, SapDb (excellent, easy to use, and free), SQLServer, etc.
    I evaluated Jbuilder Enterprise tools and it worked flawlessly with SapDb. This emphasized using their DataExpress and DbSwing components which provide many useful capabilities similar to BC4j and Jclient. It also involved using their DBPilot tool which allows browsing similar to that provided via a Jdeveloper connection.
    I tried to use Jdeveloper for the same SapDB and it is essentially non-functional. I followed the instructions for using a non-default driver and tried to define a connection. It behaved inconsistently: often saying no suitable driver can be found and yet when you edit the connection and test without making any changes, it works. If you try to establish a BC4J definition, it is very inconsistent and fails to recognize important details as foreign keys. Even if you define a ViewLink manually, it still does not work properly if you attempt to define a Master-Detail Jclient form. As I have stated, all these types of capabilities worked flawlessly in their Jbuilder equivalent. Furthermore, I really like the fact that Jbuilder gives many of BC4Js benefits without needing a BC4J J2EE container.
    Has anyone had real success using Jdeveloper's advanced features to develop for non-Oracle databases and if so, how did you get around these types of problems?

    Hi,
    generally, SCAN can be used for 10g databases and you discovered the first half: for 10g databases you will have to modify the REMOTE_LISTENER entry for each 10g database instance to point to the SCAN listeners (as opposed to pointing to the remote local listeners, which is the default in 10g). You could even have the databases registers themselves with SCAN and the remote listeners, if you wanted to... It's more or less a matter of configuration. But for simplification reasons, I will stick to the case where you have your 10g databases register with the SCAN listeners only.
    Now the other half is the client and the client configuration. An 11g Rel. 2 client configured for RAC would have a TNSNAMES entry that has only one address line for the RAC databases. The host entry in this one address line should point to the SCAN (the SCAN name is ideally resolved in DNS). A 10g client configured for RAC would have as many address lines in the TNSNAMES as you have nodes in the cluster.
    The 10g client SCAN configuration would then be in the middle so to speak: You would have 3 address lines in your TNSNAMES, in which each host entry would resolve to one SCAN address (I assume you will use the recommended default of 3 SCAN IPs). If you choose, you can have a name resolution for each of your SCAN IPs, but this would not be required. Now, why would you do it this way? Because this configuration will always work and does not make you dependent on certain functionality that your DNS server may or may not offer.
    For the remaining questions: SCAN is a DNS entry resolving one name to more than one (typically 3) IP addresses. OID is short for Oracle Internet Directory, which is a complete LDAP server. And you are right that there is no document how to configure 10g clients for SCAN from Oracle yet. However, there is a quite good document on SCAN on otn.oracle.com/rac, but I am sure you are aware of it already.
    Hope that helps. Thanks,

  • Pagination support for non-Oracle databases?

    Hi,
    I just read this thread (Pagination Support on pagination support. Is there any way to get pagination with non-Oracle databases? We are using an IBM iSeries / AS/400 DB2 database right now, and we're planning to use some local lightweight database in the near future as well (probably Cloudscape/Derby or "IBM Everyplace database".)
    We currently use code like this:
    String sql = "SELECT art FROM Artikel art" +
                /* dynamically generated where statement is added here */
                + "ORDER BY art.artikelNummer";
    Query q = em.createQuery(sql);
    q.setFirstResult(firstResult);
    q.setMaxResults(maxResults);If I look in the TopLink logs, I see queries like this:
    SELECT ARTNR, ARALT, ARAFJ, ARXII, ARAVJ, ARXIV, ARANJ, AHGCD, ARNVJ, ARCRJ, ARARK, ARFKJ, ARTNK, ARGP1, ASGCD, ARGP2, ARPR1, ARGP3, ARPR2, AREX1, ARPR3, AREX2, ARPR4, AREX3, ARASA, ARINA, ASSCD, ARIA1, ARBAN, ARIN1, ARBAV, ARIA2, ARBAK, ARIN2, ARCES, ARIA3, ARCDT, ARIN3, ARCRE, ARIA4, ARCWK, ARIN4, ARHBH, ARIA5, ARDFA, ARIN5, ARDFG, ARIA6, ARDOS, ARIN6, AREPW, ARINN, ARFOD, ARIAS, ARFOE, ARINS, ARFOF, ARNAB, ARFOI, ARNIB, ARFON, ARNIA, ARFOS, ARNN1, ARFTA, ARNA2, ARVIV, ARNO2, ARGAP, ARNN3, ARGPT, ARNA4, ARGPD, ARNO4, ARGPA, ARNN5, ARGPO, ARNA6, ARHIS, ARNN6, ARISP, ARNIO, ARKHM, ARNNS, MAGCD, AROVJ, MTGCD, ARPL1, ARMXM, ARPL2, MRKCD, ARPL3, ARMVR, ARVKJ, ARMIM, ARV12, ARMDT, ARVVJ, ARMTE, AR#VR, ARMTU, ARZLS, ARMTM, ARIAT, ARMWK, ARAVS, MPCCD, ARNVS, ARBTW, ARFJS, ARXI2, ARG2S, ARXI3, ARE1S, ARXI4, ARE3S, ARXI6, ARIB1, ARXI1, ARIB2, ARXI5, ARIB3, AROPI, ARIB4, ARPRV, ARIB5, SZGCD, ARIB6, ARSPC, ARINO, ARSMF, ARIOS, VEAAN, ARNIS, ARSYN, ARNO1, ARVR1, ARNA3, ARV1S, ARNN4, ARVR2, ARNO5, ARV2S, ARNIN, ARVR3, ARNOS, ARV3S, ARP1S, ARTFA, ARP3S, ARTFG, ARS12, ARUVC, ARZLD, ARUCW, ARAJS, ARBKV, ARCJS, ARVVI, ARG3S, ARVVP, ARINB, VPOCD, ARIO2, VPECD, ARIO4, ARVIH, ARIO6, ARVHG, ARNBS, ARVRW, ARNN2, ARVPR, ARNA5, ARVVR, ARNAS, ARVVS, ARP2S, ARVV1, ARSVV, ARZK1, ARNJS, ARNA1, ARNO3, ARIO1, ARNO6, ARIO5, AROJS, ARE2S, ARVJS, ARIBS, ARIAD, ARIO3, ARG1S FROM ART WHERE ((((ARUVC = 'N') AND (ARHIS = 'N')) AND (ASGCD = 7)) AND (AHGCD = 15)) ORDER BY ARTNR ASC
    (Yeah, I know we have too much columns in the table...)
    So, no pagination in the query. As you can see, we have a mechanism in place to dynamically generate a where clause. This is because the user can set filters. The problem is, if our user sets a filter that causes the result set to be significantly smaller, the performance is way better than when he sets no filter at all. We suppose this is because the whole result set is sent to TopLink, regardless of the values of firstResult and maxResults.
    We are using TopLink Essentials 2.1-10, by the way.

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to subclass <tt>DatabasePlatform</tt> to add pagination support for the AS/400 DB2 database of my customer. To be fair, it is not going very well so far.
    The first problem is, the query Chris found by googling (Re: Pagination support for non-Oracle databases?), does not work for AS/400s version of DB2. In fact, although it is called "DB2", the database on the AS/400 system is a whole other database than the "normal" DB2 database that runs on Windows and *nix. The AS/400 DB2 simply does not have a "ROW_NEXT" function.
    Another option would be to use the <b>row_number() over()</b> mehtod. But, as can be read here, this function is only available from version V5R4 of OS/400. And guess what? We're stuck on V5R3 at this client. (We cannot upgrade, because there's an application in use that's written in Delphi and IBM dropped the Delphi binding from V5R4...)
    So I pretty much ran out of options. On the mailing list I linked to above, someone mentions the option to make a sort of stored procedure that generates a row count number. An example of how to do this can be found here. I implemented it, and ended up with this code:
    package com.myclientsname.persistence;

                //Without a connection we are  unable to determine what caused the error so return false.
                //The only case where connection will be null should be External Connection Pooling so
                //returning false is ok as there is no connection management requirement
                    //If there is no ping sql then we can not perform the ping.
                return false;
            PreparedStatement statement = null;
            try{
                sessionForProfile.startOperationProfile(SessionProfiler.ConnectionPing);
                if (sessionForProfile.shouldLog(SessionLog.FINE, SessionLog.SQL)) {// Avoid printing if no logging required.
                     sessionForProfile.log(SessionLog.FINE, SessionLog.SQL, getPingSQL(), (Object[])null, null, false);
                statement = connection.prepareStatement(getPingSQL());
                ResultSet result = statement.executeQuery();
                result.close();
                statement.close();
            }catch (SQLException ex){
                try{
                    // Had to add this check because of NullPointerExceptions
                    // (maybe a bug?)
                    if(statement != null){
                        //try to close statement again in case the query or result.close() caused an exception.
                        statement.close();

                return true;
            }finally{
                sessionForProfile.endOperationProfile(SessionProfiler.ConnectionPing);
            return false;
    }(As you can see, I had to override the <tt>wasFailureCommunicationBased()</tt> method as well, due to some unexpected NPE's. (A bug, perhaps?))
    This code does work. However, the performance is not very well. The first page comes relatively fast, but as you browse further in the table, each page comes slower. I assume this is because the counter() method has to be evaluated for each row in the table.
    I have to get the performance better and constant. Does anyone have an idea how to optimize this further?
    Best regards,

  • Jdeveloper Team RE Jdeveloper 9.0.3 For Non-Oracle Databases

    I see that support for non-Oracle databases and Third-Party JDBC drivers is very improved. However, I have tried to use the SAPDb JDBC driver and the BC4J tester and generated Swing clients all display greyed so that no updates are possible. This appears to be a bug since Jbuilder works fine with this driver. However, I think Jbuilder's Express dataset and commit philosophy is really bad. Any commitments as to when this will be fixed?

    Yes, I examined the attribute settings and manually adjusted them in the entities and views. They are now updateable. Using Jdeveloper with SAPDB would be very tedious. Jdeveloper did not recognize foreign key constrains, primary keys, nor that attributes were updateable.
    Is there a way to include SAPDB in the testing? It is trivial to install and run and would make Jdeveloper a more robust tool. I do not like Jbuilder's approach to master-detail client screens and would recommend using Jdeveloper for this type of work if it could handle more databases like SapDb.

  • Multi Database Support: TimeQuery setting for non-oracle

    Hello,
    I wanted to develop ADF Application which is database-neutral and thus SQL92 type application.
    I actually wanted to make sure that my application runs fine at least on MySQL DB. Therefore I set up my connection in JDeveloper to Mysql database but I started facing issues while working with it. See this > Re: [ADF-11.1.2] Non Sense Associations and View Links while using Mysql as DB
    Also there's some limitation while working with non-oracle database like : JDeveloper can't recognize primary key column, therefore developer has to manually select primary key attribute in each EO.
    Therefore, I thought to use Oracle DB to overcome from above issues and with Application as SQL92 type.
    Information to share, if applicable to you as well:
    1. database-neutral SQLs: It may not be possible to come up with CREATE TABLE SQL statement which is database-neutral. i.e. You have to modify SQL scripts generated from Oracle Database Model to make it work with other database. This I think is difficult part, but with proper care and with the help of tool, you can achieve the CREATE SQL statements for other database.
    2. Under Model.jpx file of Model project, you can then add your non-oracle Database to test your application with. But make sure you select Oracle Connection while developing/changing Model layer of project << This is again because i think Jdeveloper has some issue with non-oracle Database (mentioned above)
    3. Under bc4j.xcfg file (right click AppModel > Configurations...), you properly set value of "sql92 Db Time Query" (jbo.sql92.DbTimeQuery) property . For e.g. default is "select sysdate from dual" which is compatible to oracle database to fetch the current date from database. However this doesn't work with MySQL. You need to set it as "select now()as CurrentDateTime" if you are using MYSQL. This is require if you are using History Column on EO (I don't know if it is require for other purpose of not!) . Following is the code of bc4j.xcfg, notice "jbo.sql92.DbTimeQuery" property.
    <?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
    <BC4JConfig version="11.1" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/bc4j/configuration">

    Questions:
    1. How would I make "jbo.sql92.DbTimeQuery" work with other database. It seems I have to hard code the value of it. Can't we externalize it so that we can set it dynamically ?
    2. I am sharing this what I noticed and which is not yet documented (at least I haven't found it anywhere)... please let me know if you are aware of any setting needs to be done which may not be documented ?

    Did you ever find out more information about working with Dates in non-oracle databases?

  • Very very urgent Discoverer reports for non oracle applications

    Hi,
    My client is using discoverer 10g with R12.He is using different non oracle applications like BRM Application (database is oracle only) for that they wants to develop discoverer reports.It is possible to integrate with non oracle applications with discoverer.
    Can you please suggest me.It is very very urgent.
    Thanks & Regards.

    Hi
    You're really not supposed to manage a non-Apps mode EUL and an Apps mode data within the same URL. Having said that, I have a hunch you just might be able to do it and there are 2 ways. You can either make the data available to user who login using E-Business Suite credentials or you can make it available to users who have database credentials. The first one is straightforward and you do it just like any other data. Let me give you some hints regarding the second method.
    First of all I ahve not personally tried this and you may find that because Discoverer was initially set up in Apps mode that somewhere down the line it will make the suers connect this way. However, the following is worth a try.
    I would a new schema in the Oracle E-Business database to manage the link to BRM and create a database link from this user to a user in the BRM database. You will also need to create user accounts within the database for anyone who needs to login and run BRM reports.
    Next, I would create views in this new schema pointing at data across the BRM link, thus allowing Discoverer to think these are local objects.
    In Discoverer Administrator, you would need to log in to Discoverer using the owner of the EUL - NOT using SYSADMIN or any of the other E-Business Suite accounts. You should log in with the Oracle Applications checkbox unchecked. You can now create new business areas on the BRM data. You should also be able to assign users to Discoverer privileges and users to business areas.
    Using the same URL you would have Apps users connect using the E-Business Suite item on the drop-down for logging in and you would have BPM users choose the Business Intelligence Discoverer item.
    Let me know how you get on

  • How to install HCM 9.2 demo database for non oracle platform

    i am new  to peoplesoft. We are planning for an upgrade to hcm 9.2 and peopletools 8.53. We are currently on 9.0 and peopletools 8.51 and SQL platform.
    i understand we have to creat a demo the old fashion way for SQL. I cannot find any required at upgrade and required at install fixes. Can someone please go over the process really quickly in brief and where I can find them. The upgrade home page does not talk anything about non oracle based platforms.
    We are preparing to install tools. What will be the next step after installing tools?
    I  have signed up with oracle university for training but that is not taking place for another 4 weeks.
    Confused Oracle user,

    Hi , you don't need to be confused as installing Oracle PeopleSoft is not hard as many would think. Most of the steps are clearly documented and with proper resources can be learnt very easily.
    Here is an overview of steps that you would need to follow
    Install Tools
    Install Application CD
    Create Database
    Edit and Run Database Scripts e.g utlspace, hcddl, psroles,psadmin, connect.. etc.
    Copy Projects (PPLTLS84CUR, ..) , Run AE programs, Execute dms scripts etc.
    Pretty much follow the database creation steps from Install guide for your database platform. Here is the link for SQL server installation guide
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E38921_01/psft/acrobat/PeopleTools_8.53%20_Installation_for_Microsoft_SQL_Server.pdf
    Install Tuxedo, WebLogic
    Create App Server, Web Server, Process Scheduler
    Once your envrionment is ready, you need to plan for your upgrade.
    Required at upgrade and Required at install fixes are available inside the PUM images now, so you need to deploy PeopleSoft Virtual Images too.
    Upgrade Tasks:
    Review your upgrade path, check hardware/software support, download upgrade templates for your upgrade path,
    Follow Upgrade Guide for detailed step by step process for initial pass.
    here is a brief overview of installation process - PeopleTools 8.53: Steps For Installing PeopleSoft HCM 9.2 on Windows 7

  • GLOBAL VARIABLES FOR NON-ORACLE DATABASE

    What is the alternative of global variables in Form 5.0 when using non-oracle databases. I know one way is passing parameters, is there any other way? I have few variables which need to be global in my application.
    Thank you
    null

    There is no other way.. you have to use either Global variables or parameter lists to pass values from one form to another form.. With in the form you can always use null canvas item to store and pass values in different program units or triggers..

    I've tried to find a solution to the "Strange Characters" when importing songs with non-latin characters (I'm fan of greek music)... I`ve changed the ID3 tags to 2.4 and nothing happened...should I wait for the upgrade?

    On re-reading and following your directions, I really should have given you 10 pts. for that answer, Tom, and not 5.  I'd somehow misunderstood the glyph view, thinking it was only a matrix of a certain standard, limited set of symbols, like arrow dingbats and such.

  • Configuration of XSQL for use with non-Oracle dbs

    If anyone has positive experiences with configuring XSQL for use with non Oracle databases I'd like to hear how they did it, see tutorials, configuration files, etc.
    Specifically setting up to use MySQL or Postgresql on Linux/FreeBSD would be very interesting.
    Also, does anyone use this without setting mime types? How would you go about this so you could point to the relevant servlets in the page?
    Josh

    I don't understand how setting up for Non-Oracle DB's is related to not setting up the servlet as an extension-mapped servlet.
    It might work, but would you run JSP's
    that way? XSQL behaves very similiarly
    inside to how a JSP runner works, which
    wants to be servlet-mapped.
    However, OAS 4.0.8.1 does not support
    extension mapping and XSQL works there
    so i'm assuming it would work on other
    servers set up that way. It's not

  • Problems realted to changing the language for non-Unicode programs from one into anther.

    Hi,
    Hi everyone!
    Product Name: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex
    Product Number : LM610EA#A2N.
    My Windows 7(464Bit) Ultimate,  and its base language, and display language is English.
    The Languages(English, French and Arabic) built-in (came re-downloaded and re-installed by the person who made the Windows disc installation). Thus, while installing Windows 7, those three lanauge listed for me to choose one of them to be the base language
    and display language, I have chosen 'English'. In the End of installation, there are three pre-packaged languages(English and French and Arabic) can be used as a display language.
    I would like anyone kindly to confirm for me why I have been facing these problems when changing  language for non-Unicode programs from English into Arabic.
    First: After I have installed the  AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver (sp55092) 8.882.2.3000 on my laptop. The contents of the of Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel are partially shown in Arabic while language for non-Unicode programs
    is Arabic, however, they are completely shown in English while language for non-Unicode programs is English.
    A: I found that contents of the of Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel are partially shown in Arabic (second screen shot below, however,
    when click on any options, for example 'Graphics properties' shown in Arabic in, the second window is shown in English) while language for non-Unicode programs is
    Arabic, and it doesn't matter what format or location is.
    B- when I changed language for non-Unicode programs into 
    English.
    I found that contents of the Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel are completely shown in English .
    Second:
    A- Only All Arabic contents will be displayed encryptely while language for non-Unicode programs is English
    B-  All the Arabic contents are displayed properly   while language for non-Unicode programs is  Arabic.
    Third: an error extracting drivers and software downloaded from official HP website while language for non-Unicode programs is English.
    A-  I noticed an error extracting all kinds of comprised files(drivers and software) downloaded from HP website while language for non-Unicode programs is English and whatever location and format are:
    B- However  while language for non-Unicode programs is Arabic, there is no error extracting files.
    In conclusion, Is it normal
    for all of you the contents of the of Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel are partially shown in your native while  language  used
    for non-Unicode programs is your native lanague, however, they are completely shown in English while language for non-Unicode programs is English?.  IF so I would be saying that if I have wanted the  contents of documents written in my language
    Arabic to be shown properly, then then I
    must let the language for non-Unicode programs be Arabic.
    Is this happens with you as well?
    Also, if I need extracting all kinds of comprised files(drivers and software) downloaded from HP website, then language for non-Unicode programs
    must be in my Arabic lanague English and whatever location and format are.
    Is this happened with you as well?
    I would highly appreciate any clarification from you.
    A man should convert his anger and sadness into strength to continue living in this life.

    Hi,
    I am confused about your issue.
    when you changed language for non-Unicode programs into  English, it show English.
    while language for non-Unicode programs is Arabic, it show Arabic, If it's none-Unicode.
    This is correct. Why you think it's an issue?
    About your second scenario description, I was not clear what you said. Could you give us a explanation?
    Note: System display language is not the un-Unicode program language.
    You can just choose one language to display the system at same time.

    HI all,
    I would like to know, if there are people using ADF but without Oracle database. We are negotiating a new project, and I would IIke to develop it with ADF, but database will be Firebird or Postgres.
    I know its possible, but Im searching experiences of using ADF mainly with other databases, and if its worth for this kind of project, or otherwise,if there are so many "changes" not using Oracle db.

  • CURRENT_TIME and non-Oracle Database

    Folks !
    When I use CURRENT_TIME in JPA named query, TopLink (Essentials) translates it into a "sysdate" function - this doesn't work on non-Oracle database like Postgres.
    How do you get Toplink to substitute correct function for non-Oracle Database ?
    thanks,
    -Sanjay

    I set following in my persistence.xml:
    <property name="toplink.target-database" value="PostgreSQL" />
    Still no luck.
