Setting up Microsoft SQL Server datasource in Websphere 4.0

Does anyone know how to setup an SQL Server jdbc driver in Websphere 4.0? I am using jdbc driver from jTurbo. But I am having trouble specifying the proper URL and other datasource settings in Websphere 4.0 (or WTE) server configuration.

Hi,
Please find the extract from jTurbo site (http://www.newatlanta.com/support/jturbo/third-party.jsp#WebSphere)
which will explain the steps to follow for setting up Microsoft SQL Server datasource
in Websphere 4.0 using jTurbo jdbc driver.
1.Always make sure the JTurbo.jar is set in your classpath.
2.Started "WebSphere Admin Server"
3.Open "WebSphere Administrative Console"
4.Install the JTurbo Driver into WAS by modifying the following field of "Admin DB Driver"
Name: JTurbo
Class Name: com.ashna.jturbo.driver.Driver
URL prefix: jdbc:JTurbo://localhost/pubs
JTA Enabled: false
(apply changes which resulted in the installation of JTurbo Driver)
5.Selected "Create Data Source" in Console "Wizards" drop down
6.Selected "Use an already installed JDBC Driver" JDBC Option
7.Specified "my ds name" as the "Data Source Name"
Specified "pubs" as the "Database Name" pull down is showing "JTurbo"
This should sucessfully create a new data source by the name of "my ds name".
Also there is an excellent document on "Configuring the Merant ConnectJDBC data source for MS SQL Server for the WebSphere Application Server Advanced Single Server Edition" at http://www-4.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/doc/v40/ae/infocenter/was/was402/rn112253.4.html .
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Please help: problem configuring a SQL server datasource in Websphere.

I am using Rational Developer 6 and its integrated testing server (websphere v6). When configuring a data source for SQL server, I did the following steps in admin console of the test server:
1. Created a JDBC provider, using WebSphere embedded ConnectJDBC driver for MS SQL Server;
2. Created a datasource under the previously created JDBC provider, filled in the server name, DB name and port number (1433 for SQL server);
3. Created a J2C authentication alias that has the login info of SQL server;
4. Assigned the created J2C alias to both component and container managed authentication alias;
However, when I click "Test Connection", it always gets back to me with an error "java.lang.Exception: java.sql.SQLException: [IBM][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket. Connection refused: connectDSRA0010E: SQL State = 08001, Error Code = 0.".
My ultimate goal is to configure a SQL server datasource so that I can configure Kodo to use this datasource.
Can some one please help? Thanks in advance.

Try this:
http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21210871
I am yet to test this. I am going to download latest SP for SQL Server 2000 and install it. I hope it will do the magic.

Share Data Source between multiple report projects in Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services

I have a reports solution in 2012 which contains multiple report projects one each for target deployment folder and we use TFS 2012 for report deployment.
We have a template project which has a bunch of template reports and all the datasources used in different reports.
When I develop a report, I cannot "Preview" in TFS but, for deploy this used to work fine util the reports solution was in TFS 2010 & Visual Studio 2008 R2. Since we moved to TFS 2012 & SSRS 2012 not being able to deploy till I create all
the necessary datasources for each project and now all the developers complaining that they cannot develop reports in TFS itself as they cannot preview (this problem was existing previously) and now not being able to deploy as it errors for each report "Could
not find specified rds file". I tried messing around with the .rptproj file DataSources tag that did not help either by modifying it like below.
<DataSources>
<ProjectItem>
<Name>DB.rds</Name>
<FullPath>Template\Data Source\DB.rds</FullPath>
</ProjectItem>
</DataSources>
Is there a way I could share a Data Source between multiple projects in Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services?
Thanks in advance.............

Hi ione721,
According to your description, you want to create a shared data source which works for multiple projects. Right?
In Reporting Services, A shared data source is a set of data source connection properties that can be referenced by multiple reports, models, and data-driven subscriptions that run on a Reporting Services report server. It must be within one project.
We can't specify one data source working for multple projects. In this scenario, we suggest you put those reports into one project. Otherwise you can only create one data source for each project.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC 1st and just changed the jqljdb.jar file with the one available in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver )
and set the path of the CLASSPATH to a folder which name has no spaces
and tried Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
and Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
and tried compiling and running with command prompt

ODBC incompatibility with varchar type microsoft sql server 2005

Hi,
My details:
OS: Oracle Solaris 10
Oracle version: 10.2.0.3
MSSQL version: SQL Server 2005 SP2
HSODBC driver: datadirect
I configurerd the HSODBC driver on solaris to communicate from oracle to MSSQL.
Everything works fine, except he don't show the nvarchar columns of MSSQL.
Can anyone help me with that??
Thx

Hi,
Has anyone successfully used the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver (version 1.1) with XA connections ?yes.
If so, I have the following question:
As this driver appears to support both TX & XA in the same jar file, how would I go about setting up a connection pool in weblogic to only use XA ?
Is it a connection parameter ?
thanks for any advice..
/NigelIf you want an XA pool, specify the
driver's XA DataSource as the class

Database Connectivity to Microsoft SQL Server

Hi,
Does anyone of you know how to make JDBC ODBC Connectivityto Microsoft SQL Server?
Thank you.

The easiest (and cheapest) way is to use the JDBC/ODBC bridge that ships with the JDK.
To register the driver within your application you just load the class into memory like this:
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
You now need to create an ODBC datasource for the database connection. Go into the control panel and ODBC control panel program to create a datasource (most people create a system DSN). Make a note of the name you give it (say MYDSN for example).
Now, to get a connection you use the following line:
Connection c=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:MYDSN",username,password);
If you've set the username and password for the DSN in the control panel (as you can for SQL Server) then you can use just say:
Connection c=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:MYDSN");

Error creating GTC to Microsoft SQL Server 2008

I have a table in a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 data base.
When I set the configuration of the connector I get and error.
com.thortech.xl.gc.exception.DBException: The schema sipec does not exist in the target database.
In the database performed the following query " select * from sipec.dbo.TABLE" and throws me results. But if I performed the following query “select * from sipec.TABLE” this brings me no results.
So if in the field “Parent Table/View Name” I put this “sipec.dbo.TABLE” in the log file I see this error
com.thortech.xl.gc.exception.DBException: The table name must be specified in the form of [Schema].[Table] or [Table]
I put the driver where the guide indicate

What is the solution?
I have the same thing with SQL Server 2008 64 bit. When i switch my datasource from SQL 2008 to SQL 2000 it works great otherwise it will not work. I have checked SQL Server 2008 that all the ports show 1433. I have been stuck on this for a while. I also checked the SQL Server Network Configuration / TCP/IP and i have nothing in the dynamic field and all the ports show 1433. If someone has allready figured this out it would be good to have a solution- Especially since coldfusion is supposed to connect to the database....
Thanks for any help.

Microsoft Sql Server data source ???

I'm trying to use the Microsoft Sql Server 2000 jdbc driver (without any success) in developing a small jsp app: specifically, I'm trying to set connection in web.xml as follows
<context-param>
<param-name>
javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.sql.dataSource
</param-name>
<param-value>
??? What the heck is the value for Microsoft SQL Server 2000 ???
</param-value>
</context-param>
(basically, this code is swiped from Ch. 12 of Bergsten's book, Java Server Pages - his example uses jdbc-odbc bridge driver).

you need to Specify that the physical table object is a stored procedure. When you select this option, you type the stored procedure in the text box. Requests for this table will call the stored procedure.
For stored procedures that are database specific, select the Use database specific SQL check box. At run time, if a stored procedure has been defined, the stored procedure will be executed.
In the table properties, you need to create columns manually.

I will very appriciate if someone can help me solve it. I was trying to set Full control for my account in Properties/Security of root folder and try again but error is still.
Many thanks

Hi Foreverduy,
Before you run SQL Server 2008 express setup, make sure that you have installed Windows installer 4.5 and.NET Framework 3.5 SP1 manually. For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506(v=sql.100).aspx. Moreover, please turn off all the third-party softwares which could prohibit the installation process.
According to your error message, the issue could be due to that your account has no rights to install SQL Server, or the corruption on the media.
Firstly, please ensure that your account has admin rights. Also make sure that you right-click the setup.exe and choose “Run as administrator” to complete the installation.
Secondly, please check if "msdbdata.mdf" file exists at d:\8268cd7b247d294de359c9\x86\setup\sql_engine_core_inst_msi\PFiles\SqlServr\MSSQL.X\MSSQL\Binn\Template. If it exists, please make sure that your account has read permission to the extracted
folder.
However, if the file doesn't exist in the extraction, the media could be corrupt. Please download the
media
again and check if the issue still occurs.
Regards,
Michelle Li

Failed to set security on SQL Server registry key. Error: 2

Hi,
I have a Primary site (mixed mode) running SCCM 2007 SP1 for many months now with no issues.
This site is made up of two Win 2008 sp2 servers sharing the SCCM roles:-
SCCM01 - Site server, DP, RP, PXE and SQL2005 hosting the SCCM database
SCCM02 – SUP, MP, FSP, SLP
The SQL2005 on SCCM01 is running under a domain service account called
domain\service_sccm which is also a sysadmin in SQL as is the SCCM02 server.
In an effort to resolve the isse I have made this account a Domain Admin.
I have also used this account to log onto SEC01 to run the Secondary Site installation and to be the SQL Service account.
I'm now trying to add a Secondary Site on a Domain Controller called SEC01 (also Win2008 sp2) and on the same LAN as the SCCM01/02.
This is where I get problems.
I run the installation locally on the Sec Site server (DC) as a Domain Admin and the installation completes OK (all green ticks),
the ComponentSetup.log and Pre-Reqs are all good as well however when I check the ConfigMgrSetup.log I see the below -
Failed to set security on SQL Server registry key. Error: 2.
<11-09-2010 22:46:59> SMS Setup full version is 4.00.6221.1000

<11-09-2010 22:47:01> SMS Site Component Manager installation completed.
<11-09-2010 22:47:01> Done with service installation
Adding the PMP role to SEC01 also fails to install and no MPSetup or MPControl logs are created.
WebDav and win2008 roles, features all added and server fully patched.
Despooler.log on SCCM01 seems good and passing keys.
Tried installing to default path and to shortened path such as C:\SCCM
The new secondary site is listed in the console and an address can be added for the Secondary Site
BITS Server Extensions and Remote Differential Compression Features are enabled.
The Group memberships all appear ok:-
SCCM01
Local Admins
contains the sec site server SEC01, SCCM01, installation accounts
SMS_SiteToSiteConnection_001
SEC01 (the sec site server)
SMS_SiteSystemToSiteServerConnection_001
SCCM02
SEC01
No Local Admins as a DC
SMS_SiteToSiteConnection_002
SCCM01
SMS_SiteSystemToSiteServerConnection_002
empty
SQL 2005
This has the account logged in during installation as a sysadmin
SCCM02 is also sysadmin
The fundamental issue appears to be that the SEC01$ server account is not being added to SQL Logins (and therefore SCCM database Roles)
therefore the installation cannot complete.
I have tried to manually add the SEC01 account to SQL Logins before installation of Sec Site but this did not work.
Not sure if the fact that SEC01 is a DC may be a factor.
Appreciate any help if anyone has seen this before or can suggest a resolution.
Thanks

After a lot of digging around and head scratching I eventually found the resolution.
The original thread title Error turned out to be a bit of a red herring in that my failure to deploy Sec Sites came down to two separate issues seemingly unrelated to the error message of the thread title.
The first part of the resolution was to manually create the SQL Server accounts for the Sec Site Servers and assign them to the smsdbrole_MP DB role to
let the SQL side of the SCCM install complete a s these were not being created automatically.
This then left the fact that that the installation of the Sec Site completed successfully according to the install logs in C:\ however the DP and MP would
never install.
The big clue was eventually contained in the mpfdm.log errors relating to
**ERROR: Cannot find path for destination inbox SMS_AMT_PROXY_COMPONENT on server REGISTRY SMS_MP_FILE_DISPATCH_MANAGER
and
**ERROR: Cannot find path for destination inbox Asset Intelligence KB Manager on server REGISTRY SMS_MP_FILE_DISPATCH_MANAGER
Thankfully the errors led me to these two blogs:
http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/scassells/archive/2009/07/20/error-cannot-find-path-for-destination-inbox-sms-amt-proxy-component-on-server-registry.aspx
and
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrsetup/thread/5fcc53d4-8629-4b34-9eaa-6cb020eedc13/
As it turned out the SCCM installation registry and folder creation does not complete and I had to manually enter the reg settings as detailed in the
links above to complete the installation. Once I did as described everything worked a treat – all my MPs and DPs are 100% now.
Solutions
Add the following reg keys to each of your effected secondary sites.
Inbox Fix
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\MPFDM\Inboxes]
"Asset Intelligence KB Manager"="E:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Configuration Manager\\inboxes\\AIKbMgr.box"
"SMS_AMT_PROXY_COMPONENT"="E:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Configuration Manager\\inboxes\\amtproxy.box"
Asset Intelligence fix:
Note: you will need to identify the next largest key value.
In my example it was key 49
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Inbox Source\Inbox Definitions\49]
"Inbox Name"="Asset Intelligence KB Manager"

[[DataDirect][ODBC SQL Server Wire Protocol driver][Microsoft SQL Server]Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition.]

Hii ..
need help on this ..
This what I am doing ..
I am using a DATAEXPORT function to export level0 data from my essbase 11.1.2.2 to Microsoft SQL 2008 tables.
So what I did first I exported the level0 data to a flat file using DATAEXPORT and the created the SQL columns by the same in that order only in my SQL table.
When I run it fails with this error:

Total Calc Elapsed Time for [test.csc] : [1.44] seconds
=============================================================
I did a simple test on my Sample.basic application then ..
loaded the calc data to it and then used the below script to export to a flat file
//ESS_LOCALE English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary
SET DATAEXPORTOPTIONS
                DataExportLevel "Level0";
                DataExportOverwriteFile ON;
                DataExportColFormat OFF;
                DataExportDimHeader OFF;
FIX(
            "Jan",
            "Sales",
            "Actual"
/*DATAEXPORT "File" "," "/home/hypadmin/samtest.txt";*/
DATAEXPORT "DSN" "Abhitest" "sample" "sa" "welcome1";
ENDFIX
out put as below:
"Sales"
"100-30","California"
"Jan","Actual",145
Now In sql I created only 3 columns with name Jan/Sales/Actual and when I run this script again with comments removed .. I get the same error as what I have got in my first test case with other application ..
but when I create the columns with same name as what its in export
Sales/100-30/Califirnia/Jan/Actual
It created the new rows successfully ..
So with this I think the error which I am getting with my other application might be because of the same column issue .. but then I have created all the columns by looking at the export file only as I did in sample ..
Any idea would be helpful ..
Thanks

First make sure you add
DataExportRelationalFile ON;
to your set commands it is missing
I alwats like to also add
DataExportColHeader dimensionName;
so I am sure what dimension is getting put into the columns.
Then count the number of dimensions in your outline (exclude attribute dimensions). You need at least that many columns in your table -1 + the number of members you will be returning as columns in the export
Taking your example Sample basic has 5 dimensions
Measures
Years
Scenario
Product
Market
Since you did not specify a dataexportcolheader it took the dense dimension Scenario as the columns. Your fix statement is limiting that to one member. Doing the math
5 -1 + 1 = 5 columns in your table which is what you found works. Suppose you fixed on bothe Actual and budget in scenario then you would need 6 columns 5 -1 +2

can anyone pls help how to set the db offline. currently i stopped the sql server services from services.msc and started the sql server agent.
should i stop both services for moving from one drive to another?
note: I tried teh below solution but this didint work:
ALTER DATABASE <DBName> SET OFFLINE WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
Update:
now am getting the message :
Msg 15010, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_detach_db, Line 40

Unable to open the physical file "D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\CMP_143.mdf". Operating system error 2: "2(The system cannot find the file specified.)".

First you should have checked the database mdf/ldf name and location by using the command
Use CMP_143
Go
Sp_helpfile
Looks like your database CMP_143 was successfully detached but mdf/ldf location or name was different that is why it did not get copied to target location.
Database is already detached that’s why db offline failed
Msg 15010, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_detach_db, Line 40
The database 'CMP_143' does not exist. Supply a valid database name. To see available databases, use sys.databases.
EXEC @RC = sp_attach_db @DBName, @DESTData, @DESTLog
Attached step is failing as there is no mdf file
Msg 5120, Level 16, State 101, Line 1
Unable to open the physical file "D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\CMP_143.mdf". Operating system error 2: "2(The system cannot find the file specified.)"
Solution:
Search for the physical files(mdf/ldf) in the OS and copy to target location and the re-run sp_attach_db with right location and name of mdf/ldf.

Setting up window SQL server R2 for Hyperion

I have become responsible for the load and testing of the newest version of Hyperion 11.1.2.1. It is going to be on a VM using a new install of WindowSQL Server r2
What are the detail step need for the Roles, Features, and configuration for the set-up for this server as i prepare For 11.1.2.1
Please advise

Have a read of - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_install_start_here_11121/ch06s01s02s02.html
Also note the following
"You must use native authentication with Microsoft SQL Server instead of Windows authentication. Both the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Troubleshooting Guide and the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation Start Here state to use Windows authentication."

Boot Camp or Parrarels to Run Microsoft SQL Server in MBP

Hi i have this question for you all mac expert here.
I'm a switcher , My MBP is my first apple product that i buy (except of few ipods of course :P ) ,
Anyway i really glad that i made the switch, everything is simple and easy to learn especially with mac user forum like this, every problem that i met are solved easilly (except the part taht i still can't figuree out how to use iphoto :P )
Anyway i use my MBP mainly at home for surfing the net, keeping photos and music, and editing photos and videos.
However i'm gonna set up a bussines now , and it uses Microsoft SQL Server for the stock data and finance accounting, my bussines is quite small, and the network consist of 1 Win XP PC at warehouse , 1 Win XP PC at cashier, 1 Wirelles router to connect all of the computer to a network harddrive where the data for the microsoft SQL server is stored.
However I need another Win XP PC/notebook in my office to connect to the network, but since i have my MBP, i think "why should i buy another WinXP PC/notebook?"
Okay so i searched the forums about WIn XP on MAc, and found Boot Camp and Parrarels, but i still can't decide which one to use or better for my needs.
my needs is simply to run the **** Microsoft SQL Server on my MBP and connect it to the rest of the network.
I read some post before that the parrarels didn't support networking yet, is that true ?
If that;s true, that's mean i shoud go for boot camp instead, but i don't like the idea that i must restart my MBP to get to WinXP , and that's also mean that about 8 hours a day i'll fix my eyes to that ugly interface again
can anyone give me any solutions?
First of all Thank you very much.
and sorry for my broken english :P

Since your software is custom made I won't be able to tell you what you'll need on your system. However, the purpose of having a database on a network is so that multiple computers can access the same database. That's what SQL Server does; it stores and shares the one database to other computers on the network. A "front end" application such as Microsoft Access or even a web browser is typically used to connect to the SQL Server.
I suspect that what you're calling SQL Server is actually just the front end application, which is why I was confused.
Regardless, if you'll be using your MBP to connect across the network to the database then you'll be fine using either Boot Camp or Parallels. I would recommend Parallels simply because it is currently supported (Apple is not yet officially supporting Boot Camp) and Boot Camp only allows you to run Windows or Mac OS X one at a time. Parallels is worth the price for the capability of using both systems at once.
Keep in mind that you'll have to purchase a copy of Windows for your MBP as well.
Hope this helps! bill
