Power Builder in Oracle 9i

Guys,
We have Power Builder 7.0.2 which runs against 7.3.4 dB. It works fine for the past several years. Now we are planning to move the database to 9.2. Will there be any problems from power builder? Your help is appreciated.
Regards
Ramesh

Forgive my ignorance, but what does dw in "build a dw on this" stand for? I'm only coming up with Data Warehouse, but I'm pretty sure that's not what you mean.
Can you clarify "refuses to build"? Do you get an error message from Power Builder?
For sanity, I'd try the same thing on a Windows 2000 machine. That would tend to be a more heavily tested environment (though NT 4 is supported).
Have you run an ODBC trace to determine if the driver is reporting errors that Power Builder isn't showing you?
My guess would be that this is a problem with Power Builder. I'd contact those folks to see whether they have any known issues/ workarounds.

Oracle 9i with Power Builder 7.0.2

Hi everybody!!!
we are trying to pull out a report using the Stored Procedures in Oracle 9i thro' ODBC in Power Builder.
The Procedure has two arguments, Viz.
1. A Number Argument as "IN" Parameter &
2. a PACKEGED REF CURSOR as an "IN OUT" Parameter.
When we try to build a dw on this SP thro' ODBC, it refuses to build. The Database Driver Doesn't give any error message.
IF we build the procedure without the IN Number Parameter, IT does its job successfully by returning the result set.
We are having following Configuration:
1. OS: Win NT 4.0 SP 6.
2. Front End: Power Builder 7.0.2 Build 8031.
3. Back End: Oracle 9i build 9.2.0.1.0
4. ODBC: Oracle 9i build 9.02.00.00
5. ODBC File: SQORA32.DLL
We even tried by using the latest driver without any success.
Seeking any help reg.g this.
Thanks in Advance.
Amol.

How can i migrate Power Builder 8.0 Function into oracle PL/SQL

Hi Oracle Experts...
How can i migrate Power Builder 8.0 Function into oracle PL/SQL.. I had migrate some of the coding from PB to PL/SQL. But i don't know how can i convert PB structure(here structure is a data type) into oracle PL/SQL.
Instead of structure what is the equivalent in oracle plsql
Below i pasted my POWER BUILDER FUNCTION:

What are you going to return the structure to? What I would normally use here if the code was going to be used by other PL/SQL would be a PL/SQL object type.
However, if PowerBuilder is still in the equation (you're moving the logic to PL/SQL but keeping PowerBuilder for the GUI ), then you'll have to return something else, because PowerBuilder doesn't understand PL/SQL object types. Perhaps passing a REF CURSOR as a OUT argument and populating it from the procedure. PowerBuilder could then retrieve the result of the procedure using a stored procedure based DataWindow.

Connection String connect 10XE from Power Builder 7.0

Hi
Yes,you can integrate multiple sap systems with PI.
1) Create a automatic Technical system for 4.6C system(R/3) using RZ70 in 4.6c...then create a business system for this.
2) Create a automatic tecnical system in sld for SAP ECC 6.0(R/3) system using rz70 in ecc and create a business system for this.
3) Also create TS & BS if any non sap applications are involved.
use this Business systems as per the interface requirements for sender & receiver

Hi,
Although I have not worked with Powerbuilder, I am sure if you have a certain level of proficiency with it, you will be able to code your logic that will call your wrappers written in VB/C/.NET etc. Check out the wonderful weblog by Thomas Jung on integrating ActiveX controls with ABAP Control Framework at https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/weblogs.sdn?blog=/pub/wlg/995.

Just trying to build DBD-Oracle

here is the setup Oracle 8i on NT and I want to connect to the DB from Linux using perl. I tried to build DBD-Oracle but this fails b/c I need to have the client portion of oracle installed to build this. So I started fooling around trying to install Oracle on Linux and I get a whole bunch of errors saying
"Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfSelect
Warning: ... found while parsing ':<Key>osfSelect: set-anchor()'
Then this is followed by a long list of java errors. The question is: Do I have have to install all fight this installation battle to build DBD-Oracle or is there an easier way to do it that I don't know about.
Thank you

Problems storing CLOBs with build-in Oracle 8.1.6 thin driver of WebLogic 6.0 SP2

Hi,
I'm using the build-in Oracle 8.1.6 thin driver that comes with
weblogic.jar of WebLogic 6.0 SP2. It doesn't store CLOBs. Here I have
to use the class weblogic.jdbc.common.OracleClob. Why?
WebLogic 5.1 SP 9 + Oracle 8.1.6 thin driver (external) does. Here I
use the class oracle.sql.CLOB.
Must I use a OCI driver?
Thanks,
Juergen

I'd also recommend to switch to 8.1.7 thin driver. It's more stable.

we no need to buid a report.we want generate a sql query using GUI drag and drop query builder.
our suggestion is provide synonym for all objects and give to clinet,but in apex query builder only show view and table...
it not show synonym thats the problem..
simply we want oracle query browser.just want build a query.through synonym schema.
we cerate a oracle user and provide synonym for live tables.then we provide the synonym user to client place,so they want build a query simpl.

Oracle EBS Inbound/Outbound Interface build using Oracle SOA 11g

Hi SOA Guru's,
I am very much new to SOA 11g, could you guy's help me in understanding "How I can build any Oracle EBS Inbound/Outbound interface using Oracle SOA 11g"
It will be great if anybody explain me with any example script/screen shot/document.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Pankaj

I don't have any experience with ebs, but i assume it works like this.
In the composite editor you will find a list adapters at the right..over here you will also find the oracle applications (ebs) adapter.
This will be the component for you which will communicate with the ebs packages.
you need to drag this adapter on the swim lane, and after that you should create the composite application like the way it's described in the tutorials Oracle supplies, put a mediator component in the middle and expose this interface (drag the line to the left swim line)
Hope it's a bit clear like this ?
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/integration.1111/e10224/fod_intro2.htm
this should make a few things clear too

Form Builder for Oracle 9i

Hey greetings all
i am using oracle 9i and now wish to make interfaces for my database project using any form builder. The first option was to use form builder for oracle 9i but i have heard that its tought to learn and heavy on system. now 2nd option in my mind is to use oracle developer 6i. can anybody suggest what shall i use? my project is not very complex or bigger. i just need simple interfaces for it. plz give suggestions. Thanks in anticipation.

Hi ,
It depends on the type of application you want to have....an application on web environement automatically or an application in client-server environment which ,of course , can be run in Web but Oracle Application Server is needed with some configuration steps...
Also , the Oracle Form Builder 6i is the last version of Forms which the produced runtime file (.fmx) runs on non-Web environment...and some time in the future Oracle will stop to support it....!!!!!
its tought to learn and heavy on systemIt has some wizards... which can help you very much in your productivity and of course in the learning of this tool.....
It is not considered much more heavy to the system....
NOTE: Just another thought...If the application is very simple and needs to be accessible form just a few people in a room , then Oracle Forms 6i may be sufficient ...!!!!

Simon

Yes but there's no point doing it here. As the Terms of Use make quite clear this is a User to User forum. It's Users like you talking to other Users. It's not a channel to communicate with Apple.

Next Build of Oracle XE Available for Download?

When will the next build of Oracle XE be available for download?
Currently I have a painful problem of being unable to import large HTML DB (2MB SQL files) Applications. I tried this thread:
Problem with importing HTML DB applications
However, it does not work for me and the problem seems so profound it probably requires a new build. In this current state, XE is not particularly useful for me... :(

We should have another Windows beta drop in a day or two. However this is only fixing some of the well known installation problems.
Can you please report the nature of your problem so we can see if there is a workaround, and also determine the correct fix ?
