SQL Transformation - Static connection information is inappropriate

Hello,
I'm a newbie to Informatica and I have a problem with the SQL Transformation.
The mapping I created is valid. I created a session and a workflow. I set correct DB connections for the source and target in the "mapping" properties of the session.
But when I start the task it fails with the errors:
[ERROR] Failed to get the connections
[ERROR] Static connection information is inappropriate to create a valid Database handle
In the Informatica help it is written for SQL Transformation for Static connection - which type of connection is my SQL Transformation - "Configure the connection object in the session. You must first create the connection object in Workflow Manager." What does it mean?
Why static information could be inappropriate?
Informatica Version: 8.6.0
Oracle DB Version: 11g2
Informatica is installed on Windows XP

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got an error in your PowerView report.
The error may be caused by Kerberos authentication issue due to missing SPN. In order to make the Kerberos authentication work, you need to configure the Analysis Services to run under a domain account, and register the SPNs for the Analysis
Services server.
To create the SPN for the Analysis Services server that is running under a domain account, run the following commands at a command prompt:
Setspn.exe -S      MSOLAPSvc.3/Fully_Qualified_domainName OLAP_Service_Startup_Account
     Note:      Fully_Qualified_domainName is a placeholder for the FQDN.
Setspn.exe -S      MSOLAPSvc.3/serverHostName OLAP_Service_Startup_Account
For more information, please see:
How to configure SQL Reporting Services 2012 in SharePoint Server 2010 / 2013 for Kerberos authentication
As this issue is related to PowerView report, if the issue still exists, I recommend you can post you question to PowerView forum.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/home?forum=sqlreportingservices
More experts will assist you, then you will get more information relation to PowerView.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Java - SQL Server 2000 Connectivity

hi all. i m looking for help in Java - SQL Server 2000 Connectivity.i worked on Java- Oracle & Java - MS Access format.now i m looking to work on Java - SQL Server 2000. I m using JBuilder 2005. can any1 help me how to make any change(configuration) in my SQL Server.thanx in advance.

http://www.jguru.com/forums/JBuilder is hopeless. ihvn;t get good replies from them.i downloaded the JDBC driver from microsoft and added the JAR files (3 files) and tried the following code:
import java.sql.*;
* Microsoft SQL Server JDBC test program
public class Test {
public Test() throws Exception {
// Get connection
DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver());

In the ReportDocument.Load method it tries to connect using the using the connection information embedded in the Report File

Post Author: bhaveshbusa
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
In the ReportDocument.Load method it tries to connect using the using the connection information embedded in the Report File. When the application calls ReportDocument.Load(reportFileName). This
tries to connect to the database using the connection information embedded in
the "reportFileName". This was only realised on checking the ODBC Trace
Log. The connection itself is not a problem. The problem is that the embedded
connection information is related to OLD production system. And failed
connections had raised some concerns.
Note: I am using
SetDataSource to populate the data for the report. So I don't need the
connection.
Is there any way I
can disable this auto-connect?
Thanks and
regards,
Bhavesh

I need a help in answering one of the issue encountered last week.
I have created a database link and tried to access the information from a table using the program written in another language. The password provided was incorrect for that user while creating database link. So we expected that,while retrieving the data, Database connection has to be errored out as password provided is incorrrect.
But unfortunately, user account was locked out. When i checked with DBAs they mentioned that it tries to connect 16 ports with in a min of time.we were shocked as it STOPS another scheduled jobs with that user. and affects production badly.
As per the program, it has to connect only one time and yesterday we tried to execute the program in DBAs observation and it errored out as expected. Didn't tried for multiple ports.
Now the question is, WHY the database connection established 16 times last week and caused user account locked. DBAs are unable to answer it. Any EXPERTs opinion on this would greatly appreciated.
I have verified managing ports in oracle documentation, it was mentioned that if one port is busy it will try to connect to another port in the range of ports mentioned during the installtion. DBAs verified ports related file and it was blank. and they are not agreeing with this reason. Please HELP me in finding the correct REASON for this.
is it a NETWORK issue or issue with DATABASE SERVER only?
Thanks
SSP

Excel, PowerView error in SharePoint 2013: "An error occurred while loading the model for the item or data source 'EntityDataSource'. Verify that the connection information is correct and that you have permissions to access the data source."

Hi Ali.y,
Based on the current error message, the error can be related to the
Claims to Windows Token Service (C2WTS) and is an expected error under certain conditions. To verify the issue, please check the aspects below:
     1. The C2WTS Windows service and C2WTS SharePoint service are both running.
     2. Check the SQL Server Browser service is running on the machine that has the PowerPivot instance of SSAS.
     3. Check the domain. You're signing into SharePoint with a user account in some domain (call it Domain A). When Domain A is equal to Domain B which SharePoint server itself is located (they're the same domain), or Domain
A trusts Domain B.
In addition, the error may be caused by Kerberos authentication issue due to missing SPN. In order to make the Kerberos authentication work, you need to configure the Analysis Services to run under a domain account, and register the SPNs for the Analysis
Services server.
To create the SPN for the Analysis Services server that is running under a domain account, run the following commands at a command prompt:
• Setspn.exe -S MSOLAPSvc.3/Fully_Qualified_domainName OLAP_Service_Startup_Account
Note: Fully_Qualified_domainName is a placeholder for the FQDN.
• Setspn.exe -S MSOLAPSvc.3/serverHostName OLAP_Service_Startup_Account

Don't know if anyone is still having problems with this, but just in case...
I was getting a similar error. I had an Event Viewer record (It wasn't a Warning or an Error, just an Information) reading:You are running a version of Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (also called MSDE) that has known security vulnerabilities when used in conjunction with this version of Windows. To reduce your computer's vulnerability to certain virus attacks, the TCP/IP and UDP network ports of Microsoft SQL Server 2000, MSDE, or both have been disabled. To enable these ports, you must install a patch, or the most recent service pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or MSDE from http://www.microsoft.com/sql/downloads/default.asp

Problem in using context param for storing database connection information

Hello Friends,
I am new to struts & jsp.I am developing a project in struts.I have 1 jsp page called editProfile.jsp.On submitting this page it will call 1 action class.The action class in turn will call the Plain old java class where I have written the logic for updating User Profile.
I have created context-param in web.xml for database connection information like dbURL , dbUserName , dbPassword , jdbcDriver.Now I want to use these connection information in my Business logic(Plain Old Java Class).As we can use context parameter only in jsp & servlets , I am setting the variables of my business logic class with these context param in jsp itself.
now when I am calling the updateProfile method of Business logic class from Action class it is giving error as all the connection variables which I set in jsp for my business logic class has become null again.
I am not getting.If once I have set those variables how come they are becoming null again???Please help me.Any Help will be highly appreciated.Thanx in advance.

ODBC (RDO) Connection Information : DataBase Server ID Greyed out

Post Author: Eany
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
When I select the refresh option (Crystal XI) for a report which previously worked fine, I get sent to the ODBC (RDO) connection Information screen.
The first box for Server ID is greyed out.
When I go to enter the password, I get
Login Failed
HY000 General Error : Invalid file dsn Database Vendor Error 556.
But If I then create a new report, selecting the same dsn as was used for the report above, there is no problem.

Hi Thib,
It won't work, WEB servers do not allow you to "Browse" their folder structures directly. You could how ever create a WEB Service to do this, it does the querying for you and then passes the data back. You'll have to search the WEB for more info on how to create a WEB Service and then check with your security guys if this is something you want to do.
Bottom line is ODBC or native or OLE DB is not going to work. And if you do open it up so you could it would be a major security hole for anyone to get to.
Other options are to create a VPN server so you can remotely connect to the server and get direct access to the table.
There are other options also, what you want to do is not doable.
You did not say why you want to do this? Add more info and someone may have a suggestion for you.
Major DB's like Oracle, MS SQL Server and others allow this to work through their clients so you may want to look at that option also.
Thank you
Don

Trying to use Linked Servers in SQL 2005 to connect to RDB 7

I'm looking for detailed info on how to set up a linked server in SQL 2005 to connect to my Oracle RDB 7 database (running on VMS). I'm able to connect via odbc using VS.Net and Sql Server 2005 Reporting Services. I'm not sure if I need to use the ODP.NET or not. I have created a generic linked server, but it requires me to use the OpenQuery function to access the data, which is not giving me the functionality I'm looking for.

Hi doanpq,
Please download and install OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxPro 9.0, which exposes OLE DB interfaces that you can use to access Visual FoxPro databases and tables from other programming languages and applications. Please see:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14839
Then, please follow up the following article to create a linked server:
Creating Linked Servers:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff772782(v=sql.105).aspx
For more information, you can also take a look at the following article, especially Dave K's comment:

ERROR When coonecting to SQL via DBCO Connections

Hi,
Error when connecting to SQL using DBCO connections. I am getting an dump as "Set up of a secondary connection to the database system failed. It is possible that the data required for setting up the connection via EXEC SQL (Native SQL)is faulty."
plaese help.
Thanks

Hi
Checking the dbsl_w<NN> as it is explained in point 3 of the 'Troubleshooting' section of [SAP Note 738371|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/738371] would help a lot to know the reason of the failure.
It is most likely that, the information provided in DBCO are not complete/accurate

SSIS - "Insufficient Connection information was supplied" problem

Hello,
I have connection problem with my SSIS package. Setup is as follows:
Package includes 150+ dataflows that pump data from Informix tables to MS SQL Server tables
Setup of each dataflow consists of ADO.NET source (newest driver version 4.10 for Windows x64) and OLEDB destination pointing to SQL Server 2012
Data components are linked to connection managers, which are parametrised. Connection string is set from one parameter and password from another (sensitive) parameter
All dataflows are in one big container to achieve maximal parallelism (parameter MaxConcurrentExecutables = -1) and highest performance.
Most of the time, it works correctly. But ca. 1 out of 10 runs, I get following error:
Error: ADO NET Source has
failed to acquire the connection {3DC4A80D-EC92-4551-
B607-B0D2E2652F43} with the following error message:
"ERROR [HY000] [Informix .NET provider][-11302]
Insufficient Connection information was supplied".
When I then re-run the package with identical configuration, it runs fine. Informix support told me, that from their point
of view everything seems OK. They tried to simulate this error and ran test with ca. 50 dataflows (but with password supplied in connection string) and it ran correctly.
So they assume, that problem lies within SSIS, which sometimes simply fails to supply password to ADO.NET source
and it fails. Do you have any suggestion where might be problem?
Thanks for cooperation

Hi duffmansk,
According to your description, it supposed to be the performance issue. I suggest you can run the packages in more network traffic time, increase the hardware and virtual memory of your computer to test again. For adding virtual memory, please go to System
Properties -> Advance -> Performance Options -> Advance -> Virtual Memory, increase the size for Virtual Memory.
Thanks,

Java.sql.SQLException: Lost connection to server during query

Hi all,
While I execute the sql query, i get the following exception
java.sql.SQLException: Lost connection to server during query
     at org.gjt.mm.mysql.Connection.execSQL(Unknown Source)
     at org.gjt.mm.mysql.PreparedStatement.executeQuery(Unknown Source)
     at org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.WrappedPreparedStatement.executeQuery(WrappedPreparedStatement.java:302)
Below is my code to execute the query.
String sqlQuery = "some query";
    Connection dbConnection=null;
    PreparedStatement stmt = null;
    ResultSet rs = null;
    try
      dbConnection=getDBConnection(); //perform lookup on the data source,   and return the connection
      stmt= prepareStmt(dbConnection, sqlQuery);
      rs = stmt.executeQuery(); //fail here
      //more below......
    catch(Exception e)
      throw e;
    finally
      releaseResource(stmt,dbConnection);
      closeResultSet(rs);
    }The DB i am using is MySql 4.0, Server: Jboss3.2. Could I know the possible reason that will cause the above exception?
Thanks for your help

Anyone would help me.
I am using linux, resin, jdk1.3 and Mysql plus mm.mysql driver. I write some static class which open one database connection for the class. I found that if the Server is ideal for period of time. When I doing the query again I meet same error message.

Performance Issue when setting connection information

I am writing a Winforms application using VB.NET
I have developed a method that sets the Crystal Reports Connection.
This method first grabs the connection string from the config file creates a Crystal Reports ConnectionInfo object.
The following code then takes over 5 seconds to run:
Dim myTables As Tables = report.Database.Tables
Dim myTableLogonInfo As TableLogOnInfo = New TableLogOnInfo()
myTableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = myConnectionInfo
Then this code takes over 6 seconds to run:
For Each myTable As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table In myTables
myTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(myTableLogonInfo)
    myTable.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = myTableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName
    myTable.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName = myTableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName
    myTable.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.UserID = myTableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo.UserID
    myTable.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.Password = myTableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo.Password
Next
This only occurs the first time that the form is loaded, the subsequent times it is
335ms (as compared to 5349ms) and 52ms (as compared to 6228ms)
However, when the application is reloaded the same slow times re-occur.
There are not many different tables in my report generally 3 or less. Only 1 table in this case.
This is currently in test and VS2008 and SQLServer2005 are both running locally. The same issue does occur in the QA environment as well, where the application is run on the client and the database is on a server on the same LAN.
So my question is, can I improve the speed of this portion of code? Why does it take so long to set the report connection information? Am I doing connections to the report incorrectly?
Any ideas?
Thanks,

This is an expected behavior. First time the code is run, the app loads all the CR runtime; assemblies, dlls, COM dlls, etc., etc. Once these are in memory, the performance improves significantly.

Error Message: The attempt to connect to the report server failed. Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible version. The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found.

I have a web page that contains a ReportViewer control. I am trying to display a report, which is an .rdl file located on the SSRS server, in this ReportViewer control. I have set the ReportPath and ReportServerUrl correctly. I am
getting an error message.
Am I suppose to use an .rdlc file rather than a .rdl file? Does the web server configuration need to use a certain account?
I am getting the following error message:

Hi bucaroov,
The error "The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found." means the ReportServerURL configured in the ReportViewer control is invalid.
Please follow these steps to solve the issue:
Logon the Report Server machine.
Open the Reporting Services Configuration Manager.
Copy the Report Server URL from 'Web Services URL'.
Logon the application server(in this case, it is the server that host the web page), check if we can use the URL we got from step 3 to access the Report Server. If so, please replace the ReportServerURL in the ReportViewer control with this URL. If it is
not available, could you please post the error message.
Additionaly, we don't need to provide the extension for a server report. The ReportPath should be like: /<reports folder>/<report name>
For more information, please see:

If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Problems in SQL transform with variable in statement

Hi,
I have an sql transform with a variable in the statement. It looks like this:
SELECT * FROM I.X where I.X.CUSTOMERNUMBER IN ([$variable])
I have a script running prior which sets the $variable = '\'366800\',\'000933\'';
(the CUSTOMERNUMBER field is a string)
The problem is when DI compiles the SQL with the variable value, it is replacing each single quote with two single quotes, and thus turning my list of values into a single string (as recognised by DB2).
How can I work around this? The CUSTOMERNUMBER field is indexed and the table is very large, so I want to use a very efficient statement to retrieve the data. I'm inserting this data into a different database, so I can't use the sql() function to execute the query and insert the rows into a new table in the same database (don't have authority to do that).
I also need the sql to be dynamic because the customer numbers required will change from time to time. They're listed in another database and I plan on writing a loop to set the $variable value to contain all values in the lookup table, but I can't use that in a join because its in a different database and would not be efficient.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm literally all out, have tried a wide range of things to no avail, and none of my colleagues can work it out either.
Thanks very much,
-Steve

I assume the SQL Transform is used only because of that in-list, not for other reasons....
In this book page here: https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/20046 at the very bottom it isdescribed on how to use the pushdown_sql() function in a where clause to add *any* text of your choice into the select statement DI generates. In this example I used a "where exists" but you can easily change the text to
where key=5 and pushdown_sql('my_datastore', 'CUSTOMERNUMBER IN ([$variable])') and gender='M'
I used the key=5 and gender=M just to clarify the syntax (I hope).
For the SQL Transform, I wonder if you need the [$variable] syntax as well....
