Table Problem : BOE-XI (R2) on AIX with DataDirect ODBC for MS-SQL

BOE-XI (R2).
Single-Server installed on AIX.
ODBC connection to MS-SQL 2000 database using DataDirect 5.1 SQLServer Wire Protocol Driver.
CR-XI (R2) RPT content.
The CR-XI (R2) Reports run fine on the Windows desktop using the regular MS-SQL 2000 ODBC connection method.
They also run fine on a Windows BOE-XI (R2) DEVELOPMENT server using the regular MS-SQL 2000 ODBC connection method.
The TEST server for BOE-XI (R2) is running on AIX (not Windows).
We set-up the ODBC connection to the MS-SQL 2000 database using the "DataDirect 5.1 SQLServer Wire Protocol Driver" for AIX as advised by BOBJ techs.
Most of our RPTs run OK on the AIX server using that DataDirect ODBC, but about 25% run for a while then FAIL with the following error.
"The table could not be found".
All three (3) methods of running the reports - Desktop, DEV, and TEST are connecting to the same MS-SQL 2000 database using the same credentials. So it is not an account permissions problem...
I can also get the FAILING reports to run OK on the AIX server if I use JDBC connection to the DB instead of DataDirect ODBC.
It looks like the same TABLE NAME exists in more that one schema on this database.
EXAMPLE - Table "User_Name" exists in both the "Current" and "Archive" schemas.
The Windows SQL and the JDBC drivers seem to be able to determine which schema to connect to to access the correct table, but the DataDirect driver can't figure-out which "User_Name" table to use.
My guess is that there is some setting missing on the DataDirect ODBC configuration on the AIX server, but I can't figure out what it is.
Anyone seen this before when using that DataDirect ODBC driver on AIX....and know how to fix it?
Thanks in Advance!

Hmm... I haven't come across that problem myself, so I'll just throw this out. A typical odbc.ini file looks something like this:
[North]
Driver=/export/home2/boxi/bobje/enterprise11/solaris_sparc/odbc/lib/CRmsss20.so
Description=DataDirect 5.0 SQLServer Wire Protocol Driver
Address=10.0.0.3,1433
Database=Northwind
QuotedId=Yes
AnsiNPW=No
LogonID=user
QEWSD=38527
Password=pass
... it seems pretty clear exactly which database the datadirect should use. Are there any weird characters in your odbc DSN ( [North] ) that can confuse between Windows and Unix? Is the DSN excessively long?. I found a link (http://bytes.com/forum/thread144518.html) which indicates that sqlserver will allow a three-part identifier to select database.table.column, since you have jdbc working, I'm not sure if that is a viable solution or easy to test using CR. Otherwise, another workaround may be to create a view of that table using a unique name and report off of the view.

Problem with Microsoft ODBC for Oracle Driver

I tried to import table in MS Access with Microsoft ODBC for Oracle Driver, but a msg error appeared:
"Reserved error (-7776); there is no message for this error"
I think the problem is about Microsoft Jet, but i'm not sure.
Does anybody already had this problem?

Given that you're using a Microsoft front-end and a Microsoft ODBC driver, I'm not sure how much help you'll find on this forum. You could try substituting the Oracle ODBC driver to see if that improves anything.

Newbie: Problem with jdbc-odbc and MS SQL server 2005

I'm on win vistax64 with SQLSERVER 2005 and I have set up the odbc source as system dsn using the SQL Native Client driver with SQL authentication and the connectivity test in the end succeeds.
I'm trying to make a simple web app that will connect to the database and perform simple querries. It's a school assignment.
I'm using the jdbc-odbc bridge because it's the simplest way to do it and it's what we were shown in class.
I get the following irritating error:
"Cannot establish a connection to jdbc:odb:sstmdb using sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver ([Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specifies)".
I'm working with netbeans 5.5.1 and this error is what I get when in the runtime tab I try to connect with the jdbc-odbc. I get a similar error in the logs when I try to run the app on the j2ee server.
This is the java class that establishes the connection.
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
public class Connector {
    private static final String dbUrl="jdbc:odbc:sstmdb";
    private static final String user="kimon";
    private static final String password="jackohara";
    public static Connection getConnection(){
        Connection conn = null;
        try {
            Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
            conn = DriverManager.getConnection(dbUrl,user,password);
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        return conn;
}It has worked perfectly on my school PC with winXP and MSDE2000.
What am I missing?

Ok, help came from an other way where I was inquiring about a different problem:
Connectivity works fine by using User DSN instead of System DSN for the ODBC source.

I have the same problem as all sorts of people with "HDCP" issue for playback.

What is APPLE saying about this massive issue, I'm ready to completely switch to another product and super frustrated. I've tried the "quick" solutions with no help.

Help with DR plan for Exchange & SQL Server vDP 6 please.

Hi there,
I just need a little guidance building a backup & DR strategy using vDP and/or VR. SRM is probably not in the budget right now.
First question about "Application" backup recovery.... Do I need BOTH a "Guest Image" & "Application" backup of these servers to be able to recover in case of disaster? I'm guessing YES, since when I try to "Restore" an Application backup, I only see the Exchange or SQL databases for example. I do not see the actual VM C:\ drive, etc. Would I use a "Guest Image" restore, THEN an "Application" restore for a full recovery? What happens if your SQL database is on the C:\ drive, you will be backing them up double in this scenario, once in Guest Image, then again in Application backups?
Next question.... I've tested VR to a remote location (no SRM yet), and it worked well. I consider this a good DR plan for what we need. We currently use TSM for backups. If I change to local vDP backup + replicated vDP backups at the remote site, would this be a good replacement instead of VR? Our RTO is not a huge issue. Can I recover the replicated backups easily to the remote hosts? I realize the advantages of SRM, and I would need to do more manual steps, but our budget is tight.
Thanks for your help.

As with many things, these answers depend a lot on your environment, that said, from my experience as a customer, partner (and now with VMware) here are my answers:
- Depending on the application both guest and application can be a good idea. If you have applications with agents, I think it often makes sense to use them.
- You are correct that if you need to recover the entire VM, you would recover the VM image and then the application backup (if it was needed - there is a likelihood that the application backup may not be needed)
- You are correct, you are very likely backing up the application data twice. Seems worthwhile to me for the right applications, you'll have to evaluate for your environment
- VR or backups can work as a DR solution, especially if RTO isn't an issue. The main difference I see between them is RPO. VR can go as low as 15 mins, backups are usually 24 hours so again, it depends on your requirements. One additional benefit to SRM is the ability to non-disruptively test your DR plan which I think is one of the best parts of it. Totally understand about budget. I would recommend building and testing your DR plan and communicating the resulting RPO/RTO to the business so they are aware.
Does this answer your questions?

Can CR 2008 with XML ODBC driver using SQL CASE statement?

Hi:
when i use SQL Command to provide data to the report from XML file connection. I can not use CASE statement , CR always has error message about "CASE" word.
I test the same Statement in SQL client connected to Oracle, it runs fine.
So.. Is it driver's limitation that XML datasource can not use CASE statement inside SQL command window?
Thanks anyone's reply in advance.
Johnnychi

Hi Johnny,
CR supports what every the ODBC driver supports. The error you are getting is from the XML driver, CR is just passing it through.
Try using an ODBC to XML driver and then a stand-alone ODBC test tool to see if your SQL works.
If not you'll have to find another way to use the CASE statement.
Thank you
Don

How to make column headers in table in PDF report appear bold while datas in table appear regular from c# windows forms with sql server2008 using iTextSharp

Hi my name is vishal
For past 10 days i have been breaking my head on how to make column headers in table appear bold while datas in table appear regular from c# windows forms with sql server2008 using iTextSharp.
Given below is my code in c# on how i export datas from different tables in sql server to PDF report using iTextSharp:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4.Rotate());
var writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, new FileStream("AssignedDialyzer.pdf", FileMode.Create));
doc.SetMargins(50, 50, 50, 50);
doc.SetPageSize(new iTextSharp.text.Rectangle(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER.Width, iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER.Height));
doc.Open();
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(6);
table.TotalWidth =530f;
table.LockedWidth = true;
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Institute/Hospital:AIIMS,NEW DELHI", FontFactory.GetFont("Arial", 14, iTextSharp.text.Font.BOLD, BaseColor.BLACK)));
cell.Colspan = 6;
cell.HorizontalAlignment = 0;
table.AddCell(cell);

table.AddCell("DialyzerID");
while (dr.Read())
table.AddCell(dr[2].ToString());

else if (MessageBox.Show("Do you want to save changes to AssignedDialyzer.pdf before closing?", "DRRS", MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation) == DialogResult.No)
this.Close();
The above code executes well with no problem at all!
As you can see the file to which i create and save and open my pdf report is
AssignedDialyzer.pdf.
The column headers of table in pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp are
"Reprocessing Date","Patient Name","Dialyzer(Manufacturer,Size)","No.of Reuse","Verification" and
"DialyzerID".
However the problem i am facing is after execution and opening of document is my
column headers in table in pdf report from
c# and datas in it all appear in bold.
I have browsed through net regarding to solve this problem but with no success.
What i want is my pdf report from c# should be similar to following format which i was able to accomplish in vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp.:
Given below is report which i have achieved from vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp
I know that there has to be another way to solve my problem.I have browsed many articles in net regarding exporting sql datas to above format but with no success!
Is there is any another way to solve to my problem on exporting sql datas from c# windows forms using iTextSharp to above format given in the picture/image above?!
If so Then Can anyone tell me what modifications must i do in my c# code given above so that my pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp will look similar to image/picture(pdf report) which i was able to accomplish from
vb6,adodb with ms access using iTextSharp?
I have approached Sound Forge.Net for help but with no success.
I hope anyone/someone truly understands what i am trying to ask!
I know i have to do lot of modifications in my c# code to achieve this level of perfection but i dont know how to do it.
Can anyone help me please! Any help/guidance in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
I hope i get a reply in terms of solving this problem.

Problem with import statement for user created classe

I recently downloaded J2sdk1.4.0_03 before that I had jdk1.3 and never had this problem.All the files other than named package I import for my
application does not compile.But when I commented that out it work just fine.
any help is appreciated

thanks
It makes sense not to import non-packaged class.
My other problem is with JDBC ODBC.I have a Dell system with Windows XP.
I registered my User Data Source to ODBC with MS Text driver(.txt , csv).When the code reaches at the .executeUpdate(CREAT TABLE CUSTOMERS)
it throws an exception
sQLException 3:java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Text Driver] Cannot modify the design of table 'CUSTOMERS'. It is in a read-only database.
Do I really need to change the attribues or some thing else.
How can I chane the attributes of the database.Never had problem with windows 98.

User Defined Fields & Tables Problem

After the upgrade to B1 2007 and converting our database to 2005 compatibility as per the upgrade directions, were having some weird issues with our user defined fields and tables.
Our user defined fields that used to be alpha-numeric when set up in B1 are now in the database as nvarchar(MAX), even after updating the fields in the Manage User Defined Fields screen. B1 is obviously not setting the right field information as per its interface.
Were can no longer add records to user defined tables through the B1 interface, though we can add them fine through SQL Server or an ODBC interface. The error we are getting is
[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '-3 @PASSWORDS' to data type int. (CINF)
. I dont understand where this problem is coming from because there isnt even a data field that is an integer, so I dont know what its trying to convert.

Derek,
I would suggest you post this question to SAP Support by creating a message. Also search for any notes on this from https://websmp201.sap-ag.de/notes

Dynamic internal table problem in FM - HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATIONS

Dear All,
I have a problem when I use a Dynamic internal table in FM - HR_INFOTYPE_OPERTATION..
Please suggest me on the way to overcome this problem..
We wanted to have a dynamic Program for Info type operations which can be used for any info types as we are changing only BEGDA and the related actions
So in my program I have the parameters to accept
P_BEGDA - 01.10.2007
P_INFTY - P0008
P_ACTIO - COPY
I am able to create a dynamic table based on the parameters P_INFTY and able to read it also using the FM - HR_READ_INFOTYPE
BUT when I pass the dynamic internal table to a FM - HR_INFOTYPE_OPERTATION I am getting a DUMP
The DUMP is at the below statement from FM - HR_INFOTYPE_OPERTATION
ASSIGN record TO <record> CASTING TYPE (tabname). "XDP UniCode
It gives the below possiblities
"ASSIGN_BASE_TOO_SHORT" C
"SAPLHRMM" or "LHRMMU03"
"HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION"
But If I use the below internal table
Data : g_t_0008 like P0008 occurs 0 with header line.
And If I use the internal table g_t_0008 instead of dynamic tables then it works. So I strongly feel it's due to not having a header in the dynamic table below see below the sample code on how I am generating a dynamic internal table
field-symbols: <dyn_table> type standard table.
data: dy_table type ref to data,
 dy_line type ref to data,
 xfc type lvc_s_fcat,
 ifc type lvc_t_fcat.
to get the srurcute
perform get_structure using l_f_table.
perform create_dynamic_itab .
assign dy_table->* to <dyn_table>.
perform get_data tables <dyn_table01>

data : idetails type abap_compdescr_tab,
 xdetails type abap_compdescr.
data : ref_table_des type ref to cl_abap_structdescr.
clear : ifc[], dy_table.
Get the structure of the table.
ref_table_des ?=
 cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_name( p_table ).
idetails[] = ref_table_des->components[].
loop at idetails into xdetails.

 append xfc to ifc.
endloop.
endform.

try
using field symbol for a wrk area instead of Field symbol for a table
loop your inernal table (again a field symbol) assigning to <fs_wrkarea>

Table Problems (Cell Shading and Default Format from EDD and Template)

I have two problems related to tables using Structured FrameMaker (Version 10), whilst in-processing XML.
I've designed two different table formats in my Template; Format A with black shading - 30% for THead and 3% for row, and Format B with blue shading - 30% for THead and 3% for row.
If I create a structured document from scratch and insert a table, I get the required Black (30%) and Black (3%) shading.   If I then insert an informaltable, I get the required Blue (30%) and Blue (3%) shading.
Although I've given the two table types different default formats in the EDD - Format A for table and Format B for informaltable - when I open the XML file (normally) from within FrameMaker I notice that all the tables default to Format A (black shading).   When I then import my EDD table should stay as Format A and informaltable should change to Format I.   This doesn't happen; they all stay at Format A.
I can change informaltable by manually applying Format I, this worksI. Obviously, with long documents which might have hundreds of tables we can't afford the time and manpower to do such things one at a time by hand.
Do any of the Structure gurus have a fix for this, or can someone give me a hint of what I might be doing wrong?
The second, but related question was a general one.   I see that Adobe says
"Tables
FrameMaker table formats are only partially integrated with the structure model. The content of
a FrameMaker table is always fully structured, but the control over cell border ruling is limited and
there is no structure format control over cell shading."
I believe it could be useful to apply cell shading on an individual cell basis (although I'm not sure whether this is possible at the XML level - where someboddy might give an element an attribute of, say, shading (with options, such as, green, red, blue, yellow all at, say, 30%, with a default of red, for example.
I've seen that there has been mention of plugins to achieve cell shading in structure; does anyone have an experience with such things, more to the point, can anyone point me in the right direction?   I don't mind paying fo a solution which I can implement myself.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Regards
Chris

Hi,
could you please provide some details on the EDD, RWR and some example XML?
My wild guess goes into the direction of the RWR not containing enough information that get written out into XML.
We're using table formatting with shaders too (using an attribute to control the specific formatting of each table) and it works like a charm in FM9 and FM11 when roundtripping.
The context rules are used in the table group (i.e. tgroup element). This might already solve the issue .

Problem with immediate eventhandling for a combo

Hi, I have the following problem.
I have a form with 2 combo box, when I change the value in the first combo I want reload data in the other. To do this I use a method in the backing bean called when the value of the first combo change.
The code of the jsp is:
<h:selectOneMenu id="settoreId"
 value="# {pc_GestioneCorsi.inputParSearchBean.settore.codSettore}"
 immediate="true" required="false" onchange="submit()" valueChangeListener="#pc_GestioneCorsi.reloadValuesinSecondoCombo}">
<f:selectItems value="#{selectitems.pc_GestioneCorsi.settoriList.descSettore.codSettore.toArray}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>In the form I have other fields and a button for submit the form
<h:commandButton type="submit" value="#{msgs.btn_search}"
id="btn_search_id" action="#{pc_GestioneCorsi.search}">
</h:commandButton>The problem is:
when I submit the form the search method is not called (action of the form), but instead is called "reloadValuesinSecondoCombo" method.
This happens only when user submit the form without changing the value in the combo.
Can someone help me?
Thanks
Nico
