Reports9i PDS to Progress Database
We're looking to move to 9iReports on Oracle dbs, and with the PDS I want to know if it is possible to connect to a Progress Database also, and if so how? my knowledge of JDBC is very low. I'm struggling to find an example for this data source.
thanks
john
Hello John,
Yes JDBC is the good way to go to integrate Progress RDBMS with Oracle9i Reports.
You can find some help in the Building Reports documentation and also so configuration tips in this doc. (http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/whitepapers/dataDirect_Sybase/dataDirect_Sybase.htm)

Oracle Connectivity to progress Database
Hi,
We have to make a direct connection between Oracle and Progress database on unix machines?
Does anybody know how the connectivity can be configured/set up using ODBC drivers.
Thanks in advance,
nullYes you can use the free oracle database feature called Generic Connectivity. It is available on Solaris, NT, AIX, HP and Linux.
You will need to obtain an ODBC driver for Progress and install it on the machine where the Oracle database is installed.
For more info refer to Chap 7 (http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B13789_01/server.101/b10764/gencon.htm#1005900) of the Heterogeneous Connectivity Administrator's Guide -

Is there someone who can give me some objective comments why i should take oracle instead of progress Database?

What a religious question, you might have well asked why not use Informix or Interbase. grin.
Powers that Be's call - just point out Progress revenues declined by 30%+ last quarter.. that they are less than 3% of the size of Oracle.
Sure they may be cheaper... remember you usually get exactly what you pay for. ( caveat - I haven't looked at Progress in over 6 years )
Do you want to drive a Yugo, a Ford, or a Mercedes? Which one will have less problems? Which one will still be around in 20 years?
Haven't seen many Yugo's lately.

Hi,
I have a requirement to pull data into HANA from MFG PRO system that runs on Progress database, does SLT support it. Please advise. Thanks.Saurabh,
Very simple answer..SLT supports all SAP supported databases,I think Progress Database is not supported by SLT.
But still I would suggest you to check PAM in Service marketplace. -
Problems by connecting to a progress database with MII
Hello Forum!
I'm using MII V 12.1.4. I am trying to create a connection to a progress database V9.1E.
I have uploaded and deployed the jar-file containing the jdbc driver. After activating the new connection the status of it is on error. In the log viewer of MII are this entries:
- Warning: Unable to fill connection pool for jdbc:jdbcprogress:T:mefass:9920:fcheck
- Warning: Unable to detemermine maximum number of connections from JDBC driver
- Warning: Unable to fill connection pool for jdbc:jdbcprogress:T:mefass:9920:fcheck
- Warning: Created Connection pool [jdbc:jdbcprogress:T:mefass:9920:fcheck]:
- Error: Unable to get a connection from the pool
- Error: Unable to get a connection from the pool
[EXCEPTION]
java.lang.NullPointerException: while trying to invoke the method java.sql.Connection.createStatement() of an object loaded from local variable 'conn' ...
I am sure that the settings of the connection aren't false because I have checked them many times.
Does anyone has an idea what can cause this error messages? Has anyone allready tried to connect to a progress database?
Thanks for your help!

Hello to everyone
I must access a Progress Database from an Oracle Database, but I dont want to use some extra files (like .txt or something like that).
I found to solutions:
- to make some changes using Heterogeneous Services agents;
- to use ODBC its seems to me to strange.
Do you have any recommendations?
Somebody have an alternative idea?

JDBC Driver for Progress Database
Hi experts,
We need to connect our SAP PI 7.0 which is running on Windows 2003 Server x64 bit Standard/Enterprise Edition SP1 to a progress database 9.1D version on Unix. The problems are
1. What JDBC driver should I use?
2. We tried to copy progress JDBC driver jar files from the progress database installation directory into my windows machine and tried to run it, it fails to run. It gives the following error
Error during database connection to the database URL 'jdbc:JdbcProgress:T:156.5.31.65:inodbc2' using the JDBC driver 'com.progress.sql.jdbc.JdbcProgressDriver': 'com.sap.aii.adapter.jdbc.sql.DriverManagerException: Unable to locate a suitable JDBC driver to establish a connection to URL 'jdbc:JdbcProgress:T:156.5.31.65:inodbc2''
3. Does anyone know what connection architecture should I use to run under such environment?
Thanks

Connecting to Progress database remotely
We are hosting an online membership application that must tie
in to a client's database. The database is called Progress. Does
anybody have experience hooking up to this? I'm using CF7. It seems
I could set up an ODBC datasource on my windows server, but none of
the standard driver types seem correct. Is there one I should use,
or do I need to get one specific to Progress? Will I then be able
to enter an IP address and port number and connect across the
internet? Any suggestions? Or can I do it through SQLserver? Can my
SQLserver contact their Progress and get the info that way? The web
app will use our database, but then needs to contact theirs so that
they stay up to date.Have you checked out the Merant 3.6 ODBC Driver? I am in the
process of getting some info on this so i can use progress and php,
so i can't help you much. Hopefully this will help though, or
anyone with info or links that may help me with php and progress
please send info my way also,

Oracle Reports9i - PDS features
I am doing some Oracle Reports work at the moment and am having a few problems. I am trying to do a report of the format
Work order schedule for dates from XXXX to XXXX, description YYYYYYYY
About 20 fields detailing each work order
Details of next work order etc
The data is not coming from an Oracle database but from an XML file using the Pluggable Data Sources feature of Oracle 9i Reports. The problem is that only one work order is showing up, despite the fact that there are five in the file. I have a repeating frame for the upper level of data i.e the dates/description etc and another repeating frame for all the work order details. I have tried putting the inner one within the outer one and just having them separate within the Paper Layout view, but whichever I do only one row of data shows up.
I have two groups in my data model view, one containing the work order dates and description, and under that a group containing the rest of the details. There is only one query involved in the report (which is just reading an XML file).
Does anyone have any bright ideas,
Thanks in advanceRamesh,
You can enable the trace in server conf ile and see whta is the resuktset got from XML first
Thanks

Conn between progress 9.1d database(winnt) and Oracle 9.2 on linux/unix
Hai,
Iam new to this situation.
Where i have to establish a connection between
Prograss Database 9.1D and Oracle on linux/unix.
For i gone through metalink documents.
There is procedure like Hetrogenious Services.
But my question is.
Is this HSODBC will be installed along with Oracle EE or we have to install.
If installed how to check that service.
And to connect to Progress Database we need ODBC drivers for linux.
I couldn't find from Data-Direct technologies site.If any one know about the link please help me.
If any one gone through this please tell me the procedure how to over come from this.
RegardsIf the matrix says "Oracle 9.2.0.5 through Oracle 11.1.0.6.0, 11.2.0.1.0" then that means Oracle 10.2.0.x will be supported.
It says you need the installer patch if "To use Oracle database 11.2.0.1.0 for any product, you must apply the EPM System Installer patch 11.1.1.3.05. "
If you are using 10.2.0.x then you will not need to.
Cheers
