Setting up JDBC Data Source for JCA Database Adapter in WLS - only SID?

Following the documentation for setting up a connection for use with the JCA Database Adapter (http://otnbeta.oracle.com/fmw11g/582tj30eapvb/integration.1111/e10231/life_cycle.htm), section 2.4.1, Step 8 simply says "Enter the connection properties in the Connection Properties page, and then click Next"
In the "Create a New JDBC Data Source" screen of the WLS Administration Console there is the entry field vaguely labeled as "Database Name:" Of course I entered the Oracle RDBMS service name (which we should ALWAYS be using), only to be informed upon clicking next, that WLS was expecting the SID.
Two things:
1. At least through this maintenance console, it appears that BEA did not understand the whole concept or value of Oracle RDBMS logical service names versus the SID (I have seen this in several products that Oracle has acquired). Best practice would be to use the Oracle RDBMS service name, which doesn't appear to be an option in this console.
2. The OFM documentation should be more helpful in explaining.

Compare to the analogous setup in OAS 10.1.3.4/EM... far better clarity in the maintenance console and option of either SID or service name.

OIM 9.1.0.2 - Weblogic JDBC Multi Data Sources for Oracle RAC

Does OIM OIM 9.1.0.2 BP07 support Weblogic JDBC Multi Data Sources (Services>JDBC>Multi Data Sources) for Oracle RAC instead of inserting the "Oracle RAC JDBC URL" on JDBC Data Sources for xlDS and xlXADS (Services>JDBC>Data Sources> xlDS|xlXADS > Connection Poll> URL) ?
If yes, is there are any other modifications that need to be made on OIM, or just changing the data sources?

Yes, it's supported. You install against one instance directly of the Rac Server. Then you update the config.xml file and the jdbc resource in your weblogic server with the full rac address. It is documented for installation against RAC. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14049_01/doc.9101/e14047/database.htm#insertedID2

How to set JDBC Data Sources in Oracle MapViewer for Oracle database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1)

How to set JDBC Data Sources in Oracle MapViewer for Oracle database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1)?
The following is my configuration in the conf\mapViewerConfig.xml:
<map_data_source name="mvdemo12"
jdbc_host="127.0.0.1"
jdbc_sid="orcl12c1"
jdbc_port="1522"
jdbc_user="mvdemo"
jdbc_password="7OVl2rJ+hOYxG5T3vKJQb+hW4NPgy9EN"
jdbc_mode="thin"
number_of_mappers="3"
allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi="true"
editable="true"/>

But it does not work.
After use "sqlplus mvdemo/[email protected]:1522/pdborcl", it connected to the Oracle database 12c.
Does anyone know it?
Thanks,

For 11.1.1.7.1 use the syntax for jdbc_sid, i.e.
//mypdb1.foo.com as described in the README,
- MapViewer native (non-container) data sources can now use database service name in place of SID. To supply a db service name, you will use the same jdbc_sid attribute, but specify the service name with double slashes in front, such as follows:
<map_data_source name="myds"
 jdbc_host="foo.com"
 jdbc_sid="//mypdb1.foo.com"
 jdbc_port="1522"
/>
For 11.1.1.7.0 use a container_ds instead.
i.e. instead of using
<map_data_source name="my_12c_test"
 jdbc_host="mydbinstance"
 jdbc_sid="pdborcl12c"
 jdbc_port="1522"
 jdbc_user="mytestuser"
 jdbc_password="m2E7T48U3LfRjKwR0YFETQcjNb4gCMLG8/X0KWjO00Q="
 jdbc_mode="thin"
 number_of_mappers="6"
 allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi="false"
 editable="false"
 />
use
<map_data_source name="my_12c_test"
 container_ds="jdbc/db12c"
 number_of_mappers="6"
 allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi="false"
 editable="false"
 />
In my case the Glassfish 3.1.2.2 JDBC connection pool definition was
Property
url jdbc:oracle:thin:@mydbinstance:1522/pdborcl12c.rest_of.service.name
Uncheck the Wrap JDBC Objects option in Advanced panel, i.e. the Edit JDBC Connection Pool Advanced properties page.
Add a JDBC resource for that newly created pool
Use that in mapviewerconfig.xml as above

WLS 10.3.4: How to use OS authentication for JDBC Data Source

Hello all,
As a preface, I've tried searching the forum/Google for "OS authentication" and reading the WLS JDBC doc to no avail - if it's documented somewhere, a RTFM link would be much appreciated.
I'm trying to set up a JDBC data source on WLS that leverages the OS Authentication capability of the Oracle database. If it would help, I can go into the reasoning behind why I want to do this, but basically, it's to simplify the config/deployment of a COTS application. What I have in the database is an "identified externally" user that corresponds to the OS user that is running the WebLogic Server. Normally, in tools such as SQL*Plus, I would use "/@db" as the username/password (in other words, no username and no password specified), and I would be logged in as the "idenfitied externally" user. I want to configure the same thing for a WebLogic Data Source, but if I leave the username/password blank, testing the connection in the WLS console gives me "invalid username/password, login denied" I've also tried using "/" as the username, as was documented in a quite old WLS faq, but that gives me the same result.
Is there some magic switch I need to flip?
Thanks,
John

Hi John, there's no way to do that with connection pools, which is how WLS datasources get their
connections, or middleware in general. WebLogic would have no way of knowing which if any of the
pooled connections was appropriate for the current 'user', which is not the application user, but
instead is the OS identity of the person who started the WebLogic server! If you start up your
WebLogic server, and people start pointing their browsers to it, doing various stuff, the OS knows
you started WebLogic, and maybe with the help of OCI, Oracle's JDBC might know it was you who
started WebLogic's OS process, but what does the OS know about any user that may be running
a browser or application elsewhere (even if on this same machine), when that browser or application
connects to your WebLogic server process?
HTH,

Using WLST to set up credential mapping on JDBC Data Source

I am wanting to write a script (WLST) to set up a large initial set of credential mappings on a JDBC data source.
I can create the datasource and do all the basic set ups, but I can't figure out how to do the credential mappings.
I tried the "record" option from the Admin console, but it created a script that says that credential mappings are not recorded.
This is the mapping function that you get to from the "Security" tab on the DataSource page, and then the "Credential Mappings" tab. This allows you to map a "WLS user" to a "remote user" - which in my case is an Oracle OLS user.
I am using Weblogic 10.3
Can anyone point me to a set of commands which can perform this function?
Thanks!

I wonder if there isn't a publicly visible MBean for the credential mapping. That would explain why the recorded script doesn't have the mbean method invocations.

Cannot set up data source for SQL Server 2005

Is it possible to use Microsoft's Beta 2 version of the SQL Server 2005 JDBC driver with WebLogic 9.0? I've downloaded the driver and added it to my server classpath, but when I try to create a new data source using the admin console, the drop-down list for Microsoft SQL Server only contains drivers for the 2000 version. If I select "Other" from the list and try to move on, I get a cryptic, page-long error on the admin console. If I just select the 2000 driver and try to manually modify the parameters on the next set of screens, I still get errors when I try to test the configuration. I've successfully used a third-party driver before, but this one does not seem to be working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Sabrina

Regards,
SabrinaHere I describe the steps I took to bypass the console in making a new pool.
1 - Edit the script %DOMAIN_HOME%\bin\startWebLogic.cmd to add a line like this:
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;\new_ms_driver\beta2\sqljdbc_1.0\enu\sqljdbc.jar
In other words, you have to explicitly add a third party driver's classes to
the CLASSPATH that will be in effect for the server. Just adding the driver
to your window's class path will do nothing.
2 - Go to the directory %DOMAIN_HOME%\config\jdbc, where you will find
files of the name *-jdbc.xml. Each of these represents a DataSource.
Copy one of them, perhaps either examples-demo-jdbc.xml, or
examples-demoXA-jdbc.xml depending on whether you want to make an XA
or non-XA pool. Make you new file's name like the name of the DataSource,
still ending in -jdbc.xml. Eg: MS_Beta-jdbc.xml
3 - Edit this file to change as much as would be clear for the
driver you want. Eg: change the driver class to the class you want,
the user name, URL, test table etc. Also, change the pool's initial
capacity to 0. This is so the pool can be created without making a
connection. We need that because the password is encrypted, and
there is no manual way for you to add the correct one yet.
4 - go one directory up, and edit the config.xml. Find a
jdbc-system-resource entry corresponding to the original
resource file you copied. Make a new entry in the config file,
like the original, but change the Datasource name to your new one.
5 - If this all went well, reboot your server and go to your data
source in the console, and edit it. Alter the password to what it
really should be, and you can also change whatever else you might
want.
6 - shut down again, and reboot, and you should then be able to go to
your data source in the console and test a connection.
That's it. Here is an example of a jdbc.xml file I made, and
the entry I made in the config.xml:
config/jdbc/newpool-jdbc.xml:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

Using Oracle BI Server as a Data Source for Third Party Tools

I have been researching how to use the Oracle BI Server as a data source for two days now. I have not yet found a solution to my problem.
We have a remote user who is pulling data from one of our Oracle databases using automated tools. This data base is essentially being replaced by Oracle Analytics. However, we do not want this user to get at the physical tables of Analytics, rather, we want the user to be able to connect to the Oracle BI Server itself, and issue Logical SQL to pull data.
Here are the requirements which I need to be fulfilled:
1) The ability for a remote user to connect to the BI Server as a data source.
2) The remote user must be able to do this on a Unix box.
3) The remote user must be able to automate the process of issuing SQL to the BI Server. (Command line interface is preferable)
4) The solution needs to be easily implementable, that is, this solution will be implemented many times over.
I found many articles explaining how to set up a Windows box to connect to the BI Server in this way. However, these articles outline how to use tools like Excel and Microsoft Query to pull data from the BI Server. Our current user is using SQLplus.
If possible, I would like the user to continue using SQLplus as the tool for connecting to and retriving information from our BI Server. I have tested using SQLplus many different ways to no avail. I have also tried using other tools, such as Oracle SQL Developer.
Is there a program out there that will fulfill the needs I have outlined above? Or, does someone know of a way to use SQLplus to connect to the Oracle BI Server as a data source? Or, is there a series of solutions which will fulfill the needs outlined above?

I agree it would be inefficient but only because you are using OBIEE for something it was not designed to do. You are basically asking for a "DB feed" and that should designed using PL/SQL, DB Links, Web Services or whatever is your entreprise standard to send data from one system to another. Using OBIEE for this seems a bad architecture decision to me.You are correct, the BI Server is not really intended to be queried like another Oracle Database remotely. However, the reason we are trying to do it this way is twofold:
1) We want to enforce data level security.
2) The BI Server has been fine tuned for high performance.
Forcing the end users to go through the BI Server rather than directly to the physical tables or other sorts of systems built on top solves both of these issues.
I think you are wrong. I don't see why SQLPlus should be able to query the BI Server. The BI Server can sit on top of many different DBs not just Oracle, even flat files etc. So you can't really expect the BI Server to able to translate all that into Oracle SQL output so you can query it using SQLPlus. The BI Server is not an Oracle RDBMS.You're right again. The BI Server isn't an Oracle RDBMS, and I have been wanting to treat it like one. From the data I have gathered SQLPlus can't query the BI Server.
However, my research has led me to realize that the BI Server supports the JDBC API. Therefore, (I should have went down this route in the first place) one can use the JDBC driver provided by Oracle (bijdbc14.jar) to interface with the BI Server. There are many programs and applications out there that support the JDBC API and let us connect to BI Server the way we want to. Furthermore, these programs are mostly platform independent, as they are mostly written in Java.
Lastly, from what I understand the NQCMD program can be installed on any platform as well (provided by Oracle). This is another option to connect to the BI Server as well.
Thanks for your help and your comments as I went through this process of discovery.

Need Help on using CAS Incremental Crawl with JDBC data source

Hi,
As part of one of the e-commerce implementations, we are implementing a delta pipeline which reads the data from the database views. We plan to crawl the data with the help of CAS JDBC data source. In order to optimize the data reads, we want to use the CAS capabilities of incremental crawl. We rely on CAS to be able to identify the updates available in the subsequent incremental crawl and only read the updated data for any given crawl unless we force a full crawl.
We have tried implementing the above setup using JDBC data source. CAS reads from the database and stores it in the record store. The Full crawl works fine however; we observed some unexpected behavior during the incremental crawl run. Even when there is no change in the database, crawl metrics show that certain number of records have been updated in the record store and the number of updates differ in every subsequent run.
Any pointers what can be the issue ? Does CAS has the incremental crawl capability using JDBC data source ?
Regards,
Nitin Malhotra

Hi Ravi,
Generic Extraction is used to extract data from COPA tables. And delta method used to extract delta records (records created after initilization) is timestamp.
What is this timestamp?
Assume that, you have posted 10 records one after the other to the COPA tables. And we do initilization to move all these 10 records to BW system. Later another 5 records are added to COPA tables. How do you think the system identifies these new 5 records (delta records).?
It identifies based on a timestamp field (eg : Document created on ,a 16 digit decimal field).
Assume that, in our previous initilzation, say "document created on" field for the last (or the latest) record is 14/11/2006, 18.00 hrs. and timestamp is set to the 14/11/2006, 18.00hrs. then when you do delta update, the system treats all the records with "document created on" field is greater than 14/11/2006, 18.00 hrs as delta records. This is how new 5 records are extracted to bw system and timestamp is again set to the new value besed in field in the records.(say 14/11/2006, 20.00hrs)
Assume that, you have two records with "document created on" field as 14/11/2006, 17.55hrs and 14/11/2006, 17.57hrs. and they were updated to the COPA table after 14/11/2006,20.00hrs (at this time last delta load is done) due to some reason. How can you bring these two records? For this, purpose we can reset the timestamp at KEB5. In this eg, we can reset as 14/11/2006, 17.50 hrs) and do the delta again. So, the system picks all the records which are posted after 14/11/2006,17.50hrs again. But remember that, doing this, you sending some of the records again (duplicate records). So, make sure that you sending ODS object. otherwise you end up with inconsistant data due to duplicate records.
Hope this helps!!

How do I select a data source for my webapp?

Wel, I'm obviously not looking in the right manual because this ought to be like falling off a log!
I have developed a web application in JDeveloper 10.1.3 and I'm deploying it (using a WAR file) to an OC4J container in OAS 10.1.3.
I have created a JDBC data source (JNDI location jdbc/bmra89) to connect to a 9.2.0.7 Oracle database and testing this through the interface is successful. The data source is associated with a new Connection Pool.
I ensure that a default data-sources.xml file is NOT bundled into my WAR file from JDeveloper (because the database I want to connect to from the OAS is different to the database I want to connect to from the deployed web app) so it should be looking for one it builds itself. In fact, data-sources.xml exists in the j2ee/<webapp_name>/config directory that contains the details of the data source and connection pool I created.
During deployment of the generated WAR file, I have chosen to Edit the Deployment Plan and in here I have entered the name of the data source (jdbc/bmra89) into the box labelled "defaultDataSource" and the boxes labelled "connectorsPath" and "dataSourcesPath" I've left empty.
It all deploys OK, but when I try to access a page I get the following error:
500 Internal Server Error
JBO-30003: The application pool (model.AppModuleLocal) failed to checkout an application module due to the following exception:

at oracle.jbo.common.ampool.ApplicationPoolImpl.doCheckout(ApplicationPoolImpl.java:1954)
So, any ideas where I'm going wrong? (I have to admit to being pretty lost with all this!)
Thanks,
Andy

Let's try to do this as easy as I'm capable of explaining.
Deploy the EAR to the Application server/OC4J standalone that you're trying to configure without modifying or removing any of the files in the EAR or WAR file and using all of the defaults.
Now start up the Application server control in you choice of web browser, my URL is http://localhost:8888/em.
After logging into the console select the "Adminstration" Link, and there will be List of Administration Tasks, one of which being the JDBC Resources under, Services.
After selecting the JDBC Resources "Go to Task" you will see 2 areas, Data Sources and Connection Pools. Somewhere in all of this you should see the jdev-connection-pool-bmra89, jdev-connection-managed-bmra89, and jdev-connection-native-bmra89.
I normally modify the jdev-connection-pool-xxxxx first to use the correct URL connection. IE- jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:bmra89 to jdbc:oracle:thin:@138.51.128.100:1521:bmra89, changing localhost to a specific database IP address.
Then I'll click the Apply, and then go back and do the same to the jdev-connection-native-bmra89.
At this point you should be able to test the connections successfully, and get the Web Service to connect.
I hope I've covered it and that this helps, and you're not being thick. The data sources part of this stuff can be confusing.

Can we set the dynamic data source when using getReportParameters() ?

Hello!
I have a report where one of its parameters refers to a list of values (LOVs). This list of values is an SQL Query type. When the data source used in the report is defined in the BI Publisher server, I'm able to get the report parameters using the getReportParameters() function in my application. However, if the data source is not defined the function throws an exception, which is understandable.
I decided to dynamically set the data source so that even if the data source used by the report is not defined in the BI Publisher server, it still will be able to get the LOVs for the parameter. I tried setting the JDBCDataSource of the dynamicDataSource for the ReportRequest object that I passed to the getReportParameters() function. Please see the sample code below:
reportRequest.dynamicDataSource = new BIP10.BIPDataSource();
reportRequest.dynamicDataSource.JDBCDataSource = new BIP10.JDBCDataSource();
setReportDataSource(reportRequest.dynamicDataSource.JDBCDataSource, connectstr, jdbc, dc); //function to set the values for JDBCDataSource object
reportParams = webrs.getReportParameters(reportRequest, uid, pwd); //call the getReportParameters
I was expecting this to work as this is what I did to dynamically set the data source before calling the runReport function. So, my question is -- can we set the dynamic data source when using getReportParameters() ? I tried this both in versions 10g and 11g. It does not seem to work on both versions.

We can assign this report_id value to a page item and this page item can be put in the Report ID Item text box of the Advanced section of the Report Attributes page of the IR.
This should load the saved report identified by report_id and you can get rid of javascript

Using MS Access as a Data Source for BW

I have used MS Excel spreadsheets and 'mainframe' databases as data sources for BW in the past.
The company I ma working with has a large MS Access database containing historical sales data (from an R/3 3.1H system) that they wish to upload into BW v3.5 for comparison purposes.
My undersatnding was that MS Access was not a valid data source for BW. Could someone point out the error of my thinking and suggest how to set up MS Access as a data source.
Thanks in anticipation

Hi Austen,
Welcome onboard!
True, as far as I know, MS Access is not supported by BW. But you can use MSSQL instead. MSSQL is supported. I think the free version of MSSQL called MSDE (Microsoft SQL Desktop Edition) is also supported (Although I have not tried it yet)
Importing MSACCESS data to a similar table in MSSQL is very easy. Just use the Data Transfer Utility bundled with MSSQL. It will bulk insert data from MSACCESS to MSSQL. Then from MSSQL, you can set up BW to connect to it and you are done...
Hope I have helped. if I did, please grant points...
Regards,
Jkyle

Setting Crystal Report data source at runtime

In advance, I've read all of the posts on here about dynamically changing the data source for your report at runtime and none of it seems to work.
I developed a report against my development database using an MySQL ODBC connection. At runtime I want to pull the data from the production database. I've tried clearing the DataSourceConnections. I've tried the SetDatabaseLogon as well as Table.LogOnInfo, Table.ApplyLogOnInfo, SetConnection, everything.
I am using the pull method for getting the data, so CR has entire control over the mechanism used to fetch the data.
But when I am setting some other data source I am greeted with a logon screen for the database, I i check use itegrated security then it says logon failed and if I uncheck use integrated security checkbox then it shows unable to load report and an exception is thrown
Anyone have any ideas? I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and Crystal Reports 2011 developer edition.Apart from this my Database is in mysql and I am binding report with the MySQL Procedure.
Note: Both these database just differ in name, Infact they are same database just I have changed the name, so the procedure and the fields are same.
Thanks in advance.

So if ODBC doesn't allow me to change the data source, can't it be done in some other way without mingling with each and every report.
BDW I am able to change the data-source at designer mode,
Currently the connection string being used is
private readonly ConnectionInfo crConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo
            DatabaseName = "DB NAME",
            IntegratedSecurity = true,
            Password = "admin",
            ServerName = "localhost",
            UserID = "root"
I just want it to read from same copy of database place at some other location so the connection string will be modified as
private readonly ConnectionInfo crConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo
            DatabaseName = "Same copy of database record may change but structure will be same",
            IntegratedSecurity = true,
            Password = "admin",
            ServerName = "IP address of the machine",
            UserID = "root"

JDBC Data Sources: Potential Issue with JDeveloper 10.1.3.4

I think I found a bug or issue with the latest JDeveloper 10.1.3.4 release when using JDBC Data Sources on the Embedded OC4J container.
To state the issule bluntly, If I use a JDBC Data Source in an ADF Faces application, I get the following error on the screen when I run my application if I create a simple page using a Form layout for database data:
[http://cs.uwindsor.ca/~ruston7/jdbcError.jpg]
Or if I use a simple drag and drop ADF Faces Table:

I also tried this on a different computer using a fresh install of JDeveloper just to make sure that the copy of JDeveloper that I downloaded didn't have a fluke in it.
Thanks!

M. Ruston,
It must be something on your side. i just tried the same thing using the employees table from the HR sample schema (it has a date column). It works with JDBC URL and datasource both.
Just out of curiosity - if you look at the properties for your Business Components project at the business components section, what does it show for the SQL Flavor and Type Map?
