Error Code Definition for JDBC Thin driver

Would like to know where I can find the definition of error codes
for JDBC thin driver to Oracle 7 database. Right now, when I have
database errors, I get SQL execption with CODE=XXXXXX. Need to
know the definition of the error codes in order to decide whether
the application shall retry or quit or do something else. Thank
you in advance.

Hi,
thin client session Language is controlled by java Locale.
Based on testing code, ORA- messages are localized after the connection is successfully established. ORA- messages returned in the middle of connecting are in instance language.
So, as far as I can say, you need to catch exceptions from DriverManager.getConnection(url, info); and translate them on your own.
Once the connection is successfully returned, ORA- message language is defined by java Locale.
Tests were performed on Oracle 10gR2 (both thin driver and DB).

Portal Test Connection Failed for JDBC Connector

Hi,
We are trying to create a JDBC system in EP to connect SQL Server 2005 database. Our aim is to build a model in VC using data services from SQL Server 2005.
We deployed the Driver file sqljdbc.jar and connection was successful when tested by creating a data source in Visual Administrator-> JDBC Connector
We have created a system in EP with user mapping type (admin,user) and user mapping also done for system alias with the SQL Server administrator user id and password. UME is maintained in ABAP Stack. When we try for test connection with the system created in EP for JDBC connection, the system throws an error message like Connection failed. Make sure user mapping is set correctly and all connection properties are correct
Test Details:
The test consists of the following steps:
1. Retrieve the default alias of the system
2. Check the connection to the back end application using the connector defined in this system object
Results
Retrieval of default alias successful
Connection failed. Make sure user mapping is set correctly and all connection properties are correct.
The following are the URL and driver class name:
URL: jdbc:sqlserver://<host_name>:1433;DatabaseName=db_ name
Driver class name: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
Is there any other setting to be maintained in the Visual Administrator or in the Portal?
Kindly let us know any clue to overcome this issue.
Quick response highly appreciated.

Hi Saravanan and Sathish,
not sure how far you got with this. I had the same problem or at least a very similar one with access to MS SQL Server 2005 and solved it. I followed essentially very similar steps with a couple of minor twists:
1) copied the sqljdbc.jar file to the storyboard server and set the classpath environment variable to point to it.
2) I did not create a data source, just created a new driver "SQLServer".
3) Under Connector Container I cloned SDK_JDBC as "SDK_SSQL".
4) The Visual Composer property vc.bi.sqlEditor Enabled should be set to true for you to be able the SQL Editor in the Data Service in VC.
In the portal I created a system of type BI_JDBC from a template.
The connection url and driver class were as in the thread:
URL: jdbc:sqlserver:ipaddress:1433;DatabaseName=name
Driver: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
ConnectionFActoryClass as above under 3.
User rights: admin,user
The user mapping to the system alias should be as described.
This should allow you to use the data service in VC to access SQL Server tables. If access to stored procedures (sometimes quite useful) is required, this would need to utilise the p9sqlserver.jar file already on the server.

URL for SqlServer Thin Driver ?

Hi all,
I have developed a web application in jsp with Microsoft SQL Server 2000, used 4th type of driver and it is working fine in my desktop PC . When I tried to deploy war to Laptop, where SQL Server is installed as standalone, i got error in establishing the connection with the socket, Following is the code snippet i used for laptop
Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
String strDBUrl="jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=GNXT;selectMethod=cursor";for workstation or desktop, i just changed the localhost into the database server name
I suspect problem is with the URL, Can anyone give me the URL for Ms Sql Server 4th type jdbc driver?
Suggestions welcome!!!
Regards,
Srini.

The URL is the same.
Did you double checked that the server is listening to TCP?
Try to use your local IP instead of 'localhost'.

Cloudscape & Java Studio Creator - Need Connection URL for toursDB

Has anyone been able to create a data source and connect to the bundled demo databases in the default Cloudscape installation (sample or toursDB) with Java Studio Creator on MacOS X.
I have Cloudscape running ok and I have Java Studio Creator running and I added the "derby.jar" and "derbytools.jar" files to the jar list in Java Studio creator but I'm not sure what the connection URL should be to connect to the example databases.

Well, I think I now to having everything working!! I was able to connect to one of the sample Clouldscape databases (bundled with the Cloudscape 10.0 distribution in SJCS) - I had to do the following
--- 1 --- After downloading a Java tool called DbVisualizer Free 4.1.1 and reviewing its documentation I was able to discover how to set an essential Java System Property for it as well as Sun Java Studio Creator on MacOS X. The property was derby.storage.fileSyncTransactionLog=true. This was needed to work around an Apple Java VM problem by bypassing code that uses write sync (rws) mode. The info for this is on the Apache site at: http://www.ibm.com/Search?q=Cloudscape+failures+on+Mac&v=14?=en&cc=zz&Search.x=47&Search.y=10 and the info for setting system properties on "double clickable Java Apps" on MacOS X can be found at: http://www.dbvis.com/products/dbvis/doc/4.1.1/doc/ug/admin/admin.html
--- 2 --- Using the tool in *1* above I then actually got it to connect to an existing sample bundled Cloudscape database using the following connection URL jdbc:derby:/pathToTheDatabaseDirectory (needed to add the path to the URL) and the userID and Password as user1,user1 for reasons stated in the following forum link http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/dw_thread.jsp?forum=370&thread=66046. I also used the driver class org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver.
--- 3 --- Finally, using the config info I used in *2* above I then used the following settings in Sun Java Studio Creator
DataSource Settings Panel Fields set as follows (for Cloudscape 10.0 installation)
DisplayName ---> Cloudscape
JDBC Driver Jar Files ---> derby.jar
Driver Class Name ---> org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver
URL Template ---> jdbc:derby:
And then......Add Data Source panel fields set as follows
---DataSourceName --> datasource1
---ServerType____ Cloudscape
---HostName ---> left this blank
UserID -> user1
---Password ---> user1
---DatabaseURL ---> jdbc:derby:/Applications/IBM/Cloudscape_10.0/derbyDB
---DriverClass ---> org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver
thanks for your help. I had been able to connect to Cloudscape programmatically (which your blog documents well), but getting the Sun Java Studio Creator (SJSC) IDE configured for Cloudscape wasn't obvious. Hopefully the above info in *1* and *3* will help anyone using the SJSC IDE on MacOS X. The DbVisualizer Free 4.1.1 is a slick tool I discovered along the way as well.

Cloudscae & Java Studio Creator - Need Connection URL for toursDB

Has anyone been able to create a data source and connect to the bundled demo databases in the default Cloudscape installation (sample or toursDB) with Java Studio Creator on MacOS X.
I have Cloudscape running ok and I have Java Studio Creator running and I added the "derby.jar" and "derbytools.jar" files to the jar list in Java Studio creator but I'm not sure what the connection URL should be to connect to the example databases.

1. load up the embedded driver.
2. use jdbc:derby:toursDB as the database URL.

Connection Failure for JDBC system in Session Bean using JCA

Hi,
I am trying to write a session bean that runs a query
against a JDBC system, but I keep seeing the following
error in the default trace file in the J2EE log folder:
14##0#0#Path##Java###Throwing
#1#java.sql.SQLException: Invalid connection string
attribute: Database name is required but not supplied#
#1.5#
This is the code, with the line marked (*) being the point where the exception is thrown:
public void getConnection(String sURL, String sUser, String sPassword) {
ManagedConnectionFactory mcf = null;
IConnectionFactory cf = null;
IConnectionSpec cs = null;
try {
mcf = new JDBCManagedConnectionFactory();
cf = (IConnectionFactory) mcf.createConnectionFactory();
cs = cf.getConnectionSpec();
cs.setPropertyValue("UserName", "sa");
cs.setPropertyValue("Password", "admin");
cs.setPropertyValue"driver",
"com.sap.portals.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
cs.setPropertyValue("url",
"jdbc:sap:sqlserver://localhost:1433;DatabaseName=pubs");
conn = cf.getConnectionEx(cs); (*)
I have tried adding another property value, like so:
cs.setPropertyValue( "DatabaseName", "pubs");
(or) cs.setPropertyValue( "Database", "pubs" );
but I still get the same exception. What does this
exception really mean, what is missing from the
configuration information ?
Also, in the default trace file of the J2EE engine, the
configuration information is printed out, but in an
encrypted format, (see below), is it possible to have it
print out this information in a readable format ?

Hi Vladimir,
thanks for your response. The reason I am accessing a
JDBC source via JCA is to get a feel for how JCA works.
What I ultimately want to do is construct a bean that can
give queries to different kinds of sources; JDBC, and SAP
(R3, CRM), and possibly sources like Siebel. For this, I
believe I should use the Connector Gateway Service, as
described in the "Using the JDBC Connector" and "Using
the SAP Backend System Connector" sections of the SAP
Portal Developer's Guide. But for now, my first approach
was to use the approach described in "Connecting via
J2EE" subsection of "Using the JDBC Connector" (see
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/30/a0f17aacb34b108b39a96acc33da3f/content.htm)
Thanks,
Colm.

Url for JDBC

hi guys,
well, i have a bit of problem here
i have a semesteral project which require us to setup a database
however, i'm not sure if the school will allow us to use the school server
so i would like to know if the url that is passed to getConnection() method can be from a disk drive, e.g:
String url = "jdbc:ids:d:\database.mdb
thanks!!

Not sure on the url method. However if you have access on the machine to the ODBC setup you would then create an odbc for jet connection to the mdb file. Name it whatever, say "projdb".
Now in your code you would access it like so:
Class.forName( "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver" );
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:projdb","","" );

Why do i get connection Manager invoke failed to find service connection url for my app store

My Ipad can not download any apps today i just get this message but i can open app store no problems on my IMAC

First, those are two different App Stores. The App Store app on your Mac is for the Mac App Store, apps for Macs, apps for OS X. The App Store app on your iPad is for the iTunes App Store, apps for iOS devices.
Many folks are reporting an issue connecting to the iTunes servers with their iPads for updates. I had 9 updates yesterday and had no such issue on my iPad 4. Some have used the work around of going to their Purchases List and updating each individual app that has an update from there.

Connection reset using JDBC Oracle thin Driver (towards 10g DB)

Hi we have a home-grown application and a Oracle 10g (10.2.0.1) database.
We created a scheduled servlet that gets a JDBC connection from a persistent connected cache (an OracleDataSource object registered using OracleConnectionCacheManager). The servlet runs every 15 minutes and runs the query "SELECT SYSTIME FROM DUAL" on 10g Database as XYZ user. The datapool was created yday on web-app and all queries ran successfully for about 5 hours after which it reported a connection reset error.
I can then conclude that we cannot keep the server session alive for the JDBC client by running frequent SQL queries.
We didnt get any messages on the DB server side that indicate the release of the session
Ultimately, we are struggling with reset connections from our applications that are
using the JDBC thin oracle driver; after a couple of hours of idle
connections, we receive the below error from the JDBC driver:
Jul 5, 2007 10:59:53 AM oracle.jdbc.driver.DatabaseError throwSqlException
WARNING: DatabaseError.throwSqlException(e): Unable to find ORA number from

WARNING: DatabaseError.findMessage(errNum, obj): returned Io exception:
Connection reset Jul 5, 2007 10:59:53 AM
oracle.jdbc.driver.PhysicalConnection getWarnings

Any suggestions please ?

The code itself is fine; the problem is with one of:
1) the connection URL
2) intermediate networking
3) the database itself
1) your connection URL is "jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:orcl"
- is Oracle really running on the default port, 1521
- is the installation SID really "orcl"
2) lots of possibilities, but only a couple are likely
- is TCP/IP configured and running on your host
- is there a persoanl firewall rpduct running? perhaps it's blocking the connection
3) Is Oracle running?
Is the listener running?

Help Needed-Connection Url String for Oracle8i

DriverManager.getConnection(Url , username ,password);
In the above , I need the connection url for Oracle8i Database.
Thanks..

This works for me:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@HOST:1521:INSTANCE
Where HOST and INSTANCE represent the machine running oracle and DB instance. 1521 is the default port but may be changed.

JDBC thin 8.0.4 connect to Server 8.0.5?

Oracle:
I have a test application (not an applet) that executes correctly
connecting to an Oracle Server 7.X database using Oracle's JDBC
thin drivers. But when I try to connect to an Oracle Server
8.0.5 database, I receive an Oracle error:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
The environment for successful application execution is:
Oracle Server 7.X with a TCP Listener on Port 1521
Client workstation NT 4.0
SQL*Net Client is installed (N/A since we're using jdbc thin?)
Java 1.1.1
Oracle JDBC Thin Driver Release 8.0.4
Classes111.zip (7/10/98; 383,256 bytes)
The environment for the un-successful execution is:
Oracle Server 8.0.5 with a TCP Listener on Port 1521
Client workstation NT 4.0
SQL*Net8 Client is installed (N/A since we're using jdbc thin?)
Java 1.1.1
Oracle JDBC Thin Driver Release 8.0.4
Classes111.zip (7/10/98; 383,256 bytes)
Everything else is identical; the only difference is the Oracle
server (7.x vs 8.0.5). The jdbc drivers were downloaded from the
OTN web site. I've reviewed the jdbc documentation available and
reviewed other threads. Is the jdbc thin driver release 8.0.4
compatible with Oracle Server 8.0.5? Is there a more recent
release of Oracle's jdbc thin driver not published on the OTN web
site? Is there something else I should be looking at?
After successful test as an application, I will be testing this
as an applet. As an applet connecting to Server 7.x, it also
works correctly. I have not yet tried the applet connecting to
Server 8.0.5.
Thank you in advance,

Net8 introduces the notion of service name and dbname. I think the version of thin JDBC you are using expect a sid name. Do a lsnrctl serv and find out your sid name and pass it to the connect string for JDBC.

you have your driver jar in Tomcat\common\lib?
if so, check your classpath, it could be that.

Connect URLs

Hi everybody!
I'm preparing an article about JDBC as an addendum I would like to publish JDBC connect URLs for different databases.
Could you help me and provide me with URLs?
Please do not post me URLs for Oracle and MS SQL Server, since they're well known and thoroughly described in a number of sources.
Please post in following way:
1) JDBC class name (as in Class.forName())
2) URL in form of jdbc:<blah-blah> with explanation where are port, hostname, etc
3) Small example like: "jdbc:oracle:thin:@myhost:1521:mysid"
I promise to reward 1 duke $ for each first and new URL format

JavaDB connection URL db jar

I'm trying to specify a jar file in my connection url for javadb so I can access a DB already created by JavaDB. I came across this information on a java pages:
All connection URLs have the following form:
jdbc:derby:<dbName>[propertyList]
The dbName portion of the URL identifies a specific database. A database can be in one of many locations: in the current working directory, on the classpath, in a JAR file, in a specific Java DB database home directory, or in an absolute location on your file system.
However when I specified:
jdbc:derby:myDB.jar;create=false; I get a can't find file sql error, even though I know it's there. If I use the unjared file it's fine.
I created my jar using: jar cf myDB.jar myDB
Any ideas??????????????????/

From the following link?
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/basics/connecting.html
That covers jdbc in general and not just derby.
And I seriously doubt that derby will allow you to keep a modifiable database in a jar. Do you want a read only database?
