Problem after upgrading from Office 2000 to Office 2003

All:
Using Excel 2000 under Windows XP, ORACLE 8.01 ODBC driver, and ORACLE 8.1.7.4 database on an RS6000, data retrievals work fine.
Some users are testing PCs upgraded to Office 2003. Using same ORACLE ODBC driver and database, some columns of Excel spreadsheet now are in English and others in a different character set (basically garbage). Again, some are fine, some are not.
Thoughts/Ideas/Opinions??
Thank you in advance.

What version of the Oracle ODBC driver are you using? 8.01 is not a driver version-- it should be something like 8.1.7.x.y (assuming you're using one of the 8.1.7 Oracle ODBC drivers).
Since Oracle desupported the 8.1.7 database almost a year ago, do you have the option of upgrading the Oracle client to a supported release (probably 9.2 in your case)?
Unfortunately, I don't know what your particular problem is, but I have certainly seen problems mixing the latest and greatest versions of applications with older versions of the Oracle client.

  • Synch problems after upgrade from Office 2010 Beta

    I updated from the beta version of Office 2010 to the pro version. Now I can not synch my calendar. I get the message "no supported calendar application can be found" on the info page of my device in Itunes (seems it can not find Outlook 2010), even though it did find my contacts in Outlook and continues to synch those without a problem. it appears others have had some version of this problem. I followed the steps outlined to delete all the itunes and related programs in a specific order and then reinstall, no joy. any body have a clue what I should chase next?

    Hi Daniel,
    What OAT tool are you using? Is it the Office Customization Tool?
    Where did you get the "Do not create new ost file during Migration" option in the tool? As far as I know, OST file cannot be migrated. If you were able to use the old OST file, Outlook will prompt that it
    doesn't match the server mailbox.
    The ForceOSTPath applies only to new profile, it can't be used to force Outlook to use the old OST file.

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office
    programs.

  • ODBC connections fails after going from Office 2003 to 2010 on some but not all PCs

    ODBC connections fails after going from Office 2003 to 2010 on some but not all PCs. Setting up the connection has been a hit and miss. Have tried both x86 and x64. Any ideas?  Use ODBC from the control panel and C:\Windows\SysWOW64 same results. Using
    SQLexpress 2008r2
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Please consider to configure Windows Firewall or disable it. Not only Windows Firewall but any security software.
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc646023(v=sql.120).aspx
    Windows Firewall is enabled by default.  
    Make sure you are using SQL Server Native Client to create the ODBC DSN. Not all Windows versions have it, so you may need to download and install it.
    Hope this helps.

  • Search Service Application problems after upgrading from Foundation to Enterprise edition of SharePoint 2013

    Hi all. I have been searching for days for a solution to a problem I am having with SP2013 Enterprise edition.
    We recently upgraded from SP2013 Foundation to SP2013 Enterprise. After the upgrade, the search services are no longer working and we are receiving many application log entries indicating the following:
    Application Server Administration job failed for service instance Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceInstance (ea2019ef-bb9e-4efe-85ee-5d2307406f31).
    Reason: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))
    Technical Support Details:

       at Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceInstance.Synchronize()
       at Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.ApplicationServerJob.ProvisionLocalSharedServiceInstances(Boolean isAdministrationServiceJob)
    as well as:
    Application Server Administration job failed for service instance Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceInstance (ea2019ef-bb9e-4efe-85ee-5d2307406f31).
    Reason: The object you are trying to create already exists. Try again using a different name.  
    Technical Support Details:

       at Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceInstance.Synchronize()
       at Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.ApplicationServerJob.ProvisionLocalSharedServiceInstances(Boolean isAdministrationServiceJob)
    I have tried to remove the search service application and recreate it, and even though the SharePoint Central Administration states that it was created successfully, I am still getting the same errors in the log. If I go to the Search Service Application
    Search Administration page, the "System Status" shows the following message:
    The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component '0359af35-0982-4ede-8838-b1d390e915bf' in search application 'Search Service Application' is in a good state and
    try again
    Additionally, under the "Search Application Topology" section, it states "Unable to retrieve topology component health states. This may be because the admin component is not up and running" which I assume is normal if the admin is not
    running.
    Does anyone know how I can resolve this problem? 
    Thanks!

    Hi Joaquin,
    According to your description, the error occurred when you re-created the Search Service Application.
    Based on the error message, I recommend to verify the things below:
       1. Check if the association between the Search Service Application proxy and the web application is configured.
    Please go to Central Administration > Application Management > Configured service application associations > Click Default to see if the Search Service application is checked.
       2. Change the app pool for the Search Service Application to SharePoint Web Services Default in the properties of the Search Service Application.
    Please go to Central Administration > Application Management > Manage service applications > Highlight the Search Service Application > Click Properties in the ribbon > Change
    the two app pool to SharePoint Web Services Default: App Pool For Search Admin Web Service and Application Pool for Search Query and Site Settings Web Service.
        3. Run PS command to check if the search admin timer job is enabled: Get-SPTimerJob
    job-application-server-admin-service | fl. If it is not enabled, use PS command to enabled it and then reset Internet Information Services: Enable-SPTimerJob job-application-server-admin-service.
    Best regards.

  • Problem after upgrade from patch level 36 to 43

    Hi,
      Recently our system is upgraded from 36 to 43 patch level. After this there are problem in doing hiring action, IT0000 is saving but the next infotype IT0001 does not gets saved and also no error message. So, really not able to figure out what could be the problem.
    I was debugging the standard code i.e once the 'save' button is clicked in IT0001 in PA40, but in vain. I am not able to find out where or in which program/include the data gets saved in PA0001. If any one aware of this please let me know.
    Since IT0001 is not getting saved, there are probs with IT0007 and IT0008.
    Please let me know your views.
    Thanks,
    Arunsri

    Hi Raju,
      Thanks for the reply. Ya, the problem was not due to upgrade,but some other issue. Not able to find till now. I checked IGMOD features and it is in 'Active' mode only. No luck.

  • Problems after upgrade from SCVMM 2012 Sp1 to SCVMM 2012 R2

    I did a in-place (uninstall VMM2012 Sp1, retain the database, and install VMM2012 R2 point to old database) upgrade. All the steps work fine.
    The only problem (so far) is that when I create a new VM using a custom template (for example, Windows 2008 R2), the deploy fail with the following error:
    Error (2912)
    An internal error has occurred trying to contact the vm-scvmm2012.domain.com server: NO_PARAM: NO_PARAM.
    WinRM: URL: [http://vm-scvmm2012.domain.com:5985], Verb: [INVOKE], Method: [GetError], Resource: [http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wmi/root/microsoft/bits/BitsClientJob?JobId={56B8E488-5DB9-4CC1-BEFA-AFF76E1E4D2D}]
    Unknown error (0x80072f0d)
    Recommended Action
    Check that WS-Management service is installed and running on server vm-scvmm2012.domain.com. For more information use the command "winrm helpmsg hresult". If vm-scvmm2012.domain.com is a host/library/update server or a PXE server role then ensure
    that VMM agent is installed and running. Refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2742275 for more details.
    Information (26278)
    VMM could not offload transfer the file \\vm-scvmm2012.domain.com\MSSCVMMLibrary\VHDs\Template_Windows_2008_R2_SP1.vhdx to C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\VM-NEWVM\Template_Windows_2008_R2_SP1.vhdx.
    Any ideas?

    I have a similar problem when migrating VMs from Windows 2008 R2 (Non Clustered) Hyper-V to Windows 2012 Hyper Cluster. I had previously migrated about 100 VMs like this with no problem. It appears since upgrading from VMM SP1 Rollup 4 to Rollup 5 this problem
    is happening. All Agents are up to date.
    I can migrate VMs in the cluster no problem.
    I removed the Windows 2008 R2 Hyper-V host and added it back which allowed the job to at least start but when it gets to the final steps of importing the VM it fails with the same error and references the VMM server.
    Others suggest this is a VMM Certificate problem and you can remove the Cluster node and add it back again but I can't do that in a production Cluster with hundreds of VMs. That is not an acceptable solution.
    How can we fix this?

  • Perfomance problem after upgrade from 9.2.0.6 to 9.2.0.8

    Hi,
    we have upgrade our RDBMS from 9.2.0.6 to 9.2.0.8, all our batch jobs became slow (plus 3hours on normal execution time of our query).
    any suggestions.
    Regards.

    I bet you just upgraded without any modification on parameters and/or way of gathering statistics. :)
    I know it's very embrassing and frustrating that Oracle sometimes gets slow after just upgrade.
    But it's designed to be that. Not to get slower, but to get faster.
    Enhancement is the only purpose of upgrade, isn't it?
    But there is always a chance that you hit some negative side effects of that enhancement.
    For instance, optimizer gets equipped with new powerful query transformation algorithm.
    But in very rare cases, it causes some queries got slower.
    It has always been happening and l believe it will also happen with 11g. :(
    The unfortuante thing is that there can be amazingly many reasons why Oracle gets slower after upgrade.
    You need to search metalink for similiar issues and check statistics and execution plans as stated above.

  • Problem after upgrading from 4.2 to 4.2.2

    I just recently did an upgrade from 4.2 to 4.2.2 running on an Appliance. After the upgrade all the services do not load up. Running a "show app status LMS" always comes up with a message saying daemon manager is not fully intialized. The DCRServer process is just hanging with the status "waiting to initialize".                 
    I am able to GUI in but can't use view any of the managed devices due to DCRServer in a hung state. I have restared LMS application multiple times. I have stopped LMS application and then reloaded the box. The issue still keeps occuring, im going to raise a TAC case but was wondering if anyone else has come across this issue?

    Are you still facing the above issue ?
    If yes send me the below information.
