TG4MSQL connetctivity problem

We have installed Transparent gateway 8.1.6 for Oracle 8.1.7 connectivity with MS SQL 7. Following are the contents of
inittg4mssql.ora file:
# HS init parameters
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=9adwea.a1fdm
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=OFF
While listener.ora file is configured as follows:
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =

MSQL is the DSN name specified in ODBC administrator. Following are the contents of tnsname.ora file.
SPS =
(DESCRIPTION =

After all this we are getting following error messages when we run query after creating Database link MSQL.
sqlplus> select * from dbo_tbl_admin@MSQL
Errors:
ORA-02068: following severe error from MSQL
ORA-03114: not connected to Oracle
Could you please suggest any solution.
Regards,
Ghulam

Only to make sure:
The SQL Server is running on the same machine as the gateway?
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=9adwea.a1fdm
If not, please replace the hostname with the correct hostname of the SQL Server
From the listener
(SID_NAME = MSQL)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\ora81)
(PROGRAM = tg4msql)
And your comment:
MSQL is the DSN ...
This gateway version does not need an ODBC driver nor an ODBC DSN.
This version relies on the native MS SQL Server connectivity; thus the MS Client must be installed on the machine with the gateway.
sqlplus> select * from dbo_tbl_admin@MSQL
1. You can't directly connect with SQL*Plus to the SQL*Server. You must use a database link.
it might look like:
create database link tg4msql
connect to "sa" identified by "pasword" using 'tg4msql';
the username of the SQL Server must be surrounded by double quotes. Usernames/Passwords are case sensitive at the MS SQL Server.
AND
you must use a username authentication; OS Authentication won't work.
'tg4msql' is the SQL*Net alias defined in your TNSNAMES

Problem with connetction to wrt54g2 via wireless connection with WPA/WPA2 & wireless MAC filter

Hello,
I'm Alexey from Novosibirsk, Russia.
I have a problem with connection to wrt54g2 from my DELL D630 notebook via wireless connection. When I setup WPA/WPA2 in wireless security and wireless MAC filter I can't connect from notebook to WRT - in Windows I see that dynamic IP address from WRT is not assigned. When I switch off security mode to disable always OK, but I need a wireless security between DELL and WRT.
Connection via cable Ethernet port is OK.
Can You help me?

Have you tried the different laptop...?
Download 1.71 MB the firmware for WRT54G2 v1 and reflash the router's firmware.After reflashing/upgrading the router's firmware,reset the router for 30 seconds and reconfigure the router from scratch.

Connectivity problem using tg4msql - urgent

Hi,
I'm trying to setup a DB link between Oracle and SQL server. Configuration and Tnsping is OK but when I select data using the ddlink it fails.
SQL> select * from bouba.employees@poste;
select * from bouba.employees@poste
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[Transparent gateway for MSSQL]DRV_InitTdp: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server

ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from POSTE

How did you create the database link?
You normally have to use the following syntax:
create database link hsodbc ocnnect to "sa" identified by "sa" using '<tns alias>';
Make sure to surround the username by double quotes; UID/PWD in SQL Server is case sensitive.
You MUST specify a username and password; else an OS (Windows) Authentication will be used and this fails.
Reason is, that the listener process (spawning the hs process) normally runs as local system and this user is not allowed to authenticate....

Extigy Line In Problem:Constant Noise Heard When Cable Plugged I

I have a laptop with a Realtek Audio Card In It. I Disabled the device and I installed Exitgy.When I plug in
the line in cable(connetcted to my Korg keyboard) a noise is constantly being heard. I can record from the
keyboard but the noise is always there. The strange thing is that the noise seems to change increase and
decrease whenever I move the pointer around open a window run a program or whenever there is any
"activity" on my pc!! I had on older laptop with a SiS sound card in it. I disabled the device in that one and
installed Extigy and there was no problem with the line in!! So what's happened now?What's wrong?
Someone pleaaaase help me!! :mansad:

I don't have a USB mouse connected. There are three USB inputs on my laptop one is used for my USB modem the other one for my Extigy and the other one is free
So I still havent resolved the noise problem and I cannot record!!!:angry:
on my older pc I hade my USB modem connected and my Extigy and had no problems so it cannot be the other USB devices messing with Extigy, plus the noise occurs only when I plug my mini jack in the line in of my Extigy and the other end is connected to my KORG.
So whats going on?

TG4MSQL ora-28500 error on RECOVER login in READ-ONLY mode

We're connecting from a 10.2 dbase to SqlServer2000 via TG4MSQL. No upfront problem connecting but the Oracle .trc file shows below error:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message: [Transparent gateway for MSSQL][Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'RECOVER'. (SQL State: 00000; SQL Code: 18456)
Below is the content of .ora file:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=INETSQL3.ComPro
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=OFF
HS_FDS_TRANSACTION_MODEL=READ_ONLY
We are using READ-ONLY mode so the RECOVER login was not defined on SqlServer.
Anyone know why TG4MSQL is trying to open a connection as RECOVER? And is there a way to stop it?

Pending transactions turned out to be the culprit. Below is info from our TAR that
provides some detail on what RECOVER is doing.
Oracle handles all transactions as if they were distributed transactions. He takes a very conservative approach on the assumption that you may want to update
or insert later. This has been like this since Oracle version 6 and will never
change. Hence all transactions get handled as a distributed transactions even though there are no simultaneous updates. A common remote transaction would involve reading from SQL Server and then taking that data an inserting into an Oracle database. In the event a transaction gets aborted for some reason RECO must rollback the transaction. SQL Server requires a valid username/password and hence uses the recovery username/password specified in the gateway init file. The default parameters for both are RECOVER , if they are omitted in the init.ora file for the gateway. Obviously these do not exist on SQL Server. Note that this recovery process is detected and processed by the Oracle kernel. READONLY mode only prevents inserts, updates or deletes to be issued to SQL Server and nothing else. The gateway has nothing to do with handling and monitoring transactions to SQLServer. In all likelyhood you have several in doubt transactions in the dba_2pc_pending view. As long as those entries remain RECO will continue to try and rollback these in doubt transactions and fail each time due to an invalid username/password. This will go on until you either manually remove them or give RECO a valid SQL Server username/password to use.
OPTION 1
==========
Code the follwing in your gateway init.ora file
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_ACCOUNT=use the username specified in your db_link
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_PWD=use the password specified in your db_link
OPTION 2
==========
Define a username with password RECOVER on the SQL Server database you are connecting to
OPTION 3 (Manually removing in doubt transactions)
================
Use dbms_transaction.purge_lost_db_entry(local_tran_id)
STATUS should be in collecting

Connection problem with wlan router wrk54g

Hi there,
i have tow lenovo notebooks with similar equal systems and vista and same network adapter,
now the problem:
i set up the exact same wlan connetction with the right wep passcode but one notebook got the connection the other not.
the notebook with no connection has only "limited connectivity" and the dhcp seems not to work for this notebook.
i also retried a lot of times to reenter the 64bit 10 hex digits but not successfull.
the firewall settings are ok.
could anybody help?

if the problem laptop has windows xp sp2 , then try this command on the DOS prompt
netsh winsock reset catalog

I can't connetcting to internet when i want validate seriale number

why i can't connetcting to internet when i want validate seriale number ?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

A problem with threads

I am trying to implement some kind of a server listening for requests. The listener part of the app, is a daemon thread that listens for connections and instantiates a handling daemon thread once it gets some. However, my problem is that i must be able to kill the listening thread at the user's will (say via a sto button). I have done this via the Sun's proposed way, by testing a boolean flag in the loop, which is set to false when i wish to kill the thread. The problem with this thing is the following...
Once the thread starts excecuting, it will test the flag, find it true and enter the loop. At some point it will LOCK on the server socket waiting for connection. Unless some client actually connects, it will keep on listening indefinatelly whithought ever bothering to check for the flag again (no matter how many times you set the damn thing to false).
My question is this: Is there any real, non-theoretical, applied way to stop thread in java safely?
Thank you in advance,
Lefty

This was one solution from the socket programming forum, have you tried this??
public Thread MyThread extends Thread{
     boolean active = true;
     public void run(){
          ss.setSoTimeout(90);
          while (active){
               try{
                    serverSocket = ss.accept();
               catch (SocketTimeoutException ste){
               // do nothing
     // interrupt thread
     public void deactivate(){
          active = false;
          // you gotta sleep for a time longer than the
          // accept() timeout to make sure that timeout is finished.
          try{
               sleep(91);
          }catch (InterruptedException ie){
          interrupt();
}

You can also try to provide a greater Priority to your player thread so that it gains the CPU time when ever it needs it and don't harm the playback.
However a loop in a Thread and that to an infinite loop is one kind of very bad programming, 'cuz the loop eats up most of your CPU time which in turn adds up more delays of the execution of other tasks (just as in your case it is the playback). By witting codes bit efficiently and planning out the architectural execution flow of the app before start writing the code helps solve these kind of issues.
You can go through [this simple tutorial|http://oreilly.com/catalog/expjava/excerpt/index.html] about Basics of Java and Threads to know more about threads.

N.B. And yes there are more articles and tutorials available but much of them targets the Java SE / EE, but if you want to read them here is [another great one straight from SUN|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/concurrency/index.html] .

J2ME problem with threads

Hi all,
I would like to ask you for a help. I need to write a small program at my university. I started to write a midlet which function would be to countdown time for sports activities. I woul like to start a new thread - the one that counts down - and at the same time make the main thread sleep. After the "countdown" thread finishes, the main thread wakes up and waits for user input. The problem is that when the "countdown" thread finishes his work, I've got Uncaught exception java/lang/NullPointerException. error and the midlet halts.
Below you can find the code

}Can anybody help me with this?

Groovemaker,
Your Licznik class has a member m of type monitor, which has not been instantiated (in other words is null) hence, when calling m.put() you get NullPointerException. Please also mind, that using Thread.sleep(1000) is not an accurate way of measuring time.
If I may, please use recommended for Java class naming conventions - some of your names use lower case, while other don't which is confusing to the reader.

Problem with threads within applet

Hello,
I got an applet, inside this applet I have a singleton, inside this singleton I have a thread.
this thread is running in endless loop.
he is doing something and go to sleep on and on.
the problem is,
when I refresh my IE6 browser I see more than 1 thread.
for debug matter, I did the following things:
inside the thread, sysout every time he goes to sleep.
sysout in the singleton constructor.
sysout in the singleton destructor.
the output goes like this:
when refresh the page, the singleton constructor loading but not every refresh, sometimes I see the constructor output and sometimes I dont.
The thread inside the singleton is giving me the same output, sometime I see more than one thread at a time and sometimes I dont.
The destructor never works (no output there).
I don't understand what is going on.
someone can please shed some light?
thanks.
btw. I am working with JRE 1.1
this is very old and big applet and I can't convert it to something new.

Ooops. sorry!
I did.
     public void start() {
     public void stop() {
     public void destroy() {
          try {
               resetAll();
               Configuration.closeConnection();
               QuoteItem.closeConnection();
          } finally {
               try {
                    super.finalize();
               } catch (Throwable e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();

Problem with Threads and a static variable

I have a problem with the code below. I am yet to make sure that I understand the problem. Correct me if I am wrong please.
Code functionality:
A timer calls SetState every second. It sets the state and sets boolean variable "changed" to true. Then notifies a main process thread to check if the state changed to send a message.
The problem as far I understand is:
Assume the timer Thread calls SetState twice before the main process Thread runs. As a result, "changed" is set to true twice. However, since the main process is blocked twice during the two calls to SetState, when it runs it would have the two SetState timer threads blocked on its synchronized body. It will pass the first one, send the message and set "changed" to false since it was true. Now, it will pass the second thread, but here is the problem, "changed" is already set to false. As a result, it won't send the message even though it is supposed to.
Would you please let me know if my understanding is correct? If so, what would you propose to resolve the problem? Should I call wait some other or should I notify in a different way?
Thanks,
B.D.
Code:
private static volatile boolean bChanged = false;
private static Thread objMainProcess;
   protected static void Init(){
        objMainProcess = new Thread() {
            public void run() {
                while( objMainProcess == Thread.currentThread() ) {
                   GetState();
        objMainProcess.setDaemon( true );
        objMainProcess.start();
    public static void initStatusTimer(){
        if(objTimer == null)
             objTimer = new javax.swing.Timer( 1000, new java.awt.event.ActionListener(){
                public void actionPerformed( java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt){
                          SetState();
    private static void SetState(){
        if( objMainProcess == null ) return;
        synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
            bChanged = true;
            try{
                objMainProcess.notify();
            }catch( IllegalMonitorStateException e ) {}
    private static boolean GetState() {
        if( objMainProcess == null ) return false;
        synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
            if( bChanged) {
                SendMessage();
                bChanged = false;
                return true;
            try {
                objMainProcess.wait();
            }catch( InterruptedException e ) {}
            return false;
    }

Thanks DrClap for your reply. Everything you said is right. It is not easy to make them alternate since SetState() could be called from different places where the state could be anything else but a status message. Like a GREETING message for example. It is a handshaking message but not a status message.
Again as you said, There is a reason I can't call sendMessage() inside setState().
The only way I was able to do it is by having a counter of the number of notifies that have been called. Every time notify() is called a counter is incremented. Now instead of just checking if "changed" flag is true, I also check if notify counter is greater than zero. If both true, I send the message. If "changed" flag is false, I check again if the notify counter is greater than zero, I send the message. This way it works, but it is kind of a patch than a good design fix. I am yet to find a good solution.
Thanks,
B.D.

Problem with threads running javaw

Hi,
Having a problem with multi thread programming using client server sockets. The program works find when starting the the application in a console using java muti.java , but when using javaw multi.java the program doesnt die and have to kill it in the task manager. The program doesnt display any of my gui error messages either when the server disconnect the client. all works find in a console. any advice on this as I havent been able to understand why this is happening? any comment would be appreciated.
troy.

troy,
Try and post a minimum code sample of your app which
does not work.
When using javaw, make sure you redirect the standard
error and standard output streams to file.
Graeme.Hi Graeme,
I dont understand what you mean by redirection to file? some of my code below.
The code works fine under a console, code is supposed to exit when the client (the other server )disconnects. the problem is that but the clientworker side of the code still works. which under console it doesnt.

Problem with Threads and "plase wait..."-Window

Hi everyone,
I have a problem that I'm not able to solve in any way... I have a time-consuming task (a file decryption) which I execute in a separate thread; I've used the SwingWorker class, like suggested by sun-tutorial, and it works right. The problem is that I have to wait that the decryption have finished before continuing with program-execution. Therefore I would like to display a "please wait"-window while the task runs. I've tryed all the possible ways I know but the problem is always the same: the waitWindow is displayed empty, the bounds are painted but the contents no; it's only painted when the decrypt-task has finished. Please help me, I have no more resources....
decrypt-file code:
public class DecryptFile {
private String cryptedFileNameAndPath;
private ByteArrayInputStream resultStream = null;
// need for progress
private int lengthOfTask;
private int current = -1;
private String statMessage;
public DecryptFile(String encZipFileNameAndPath) {
    cryptedFileNameAndPath = encZipFileNameAndPath;
    //Compute length of task...
    // 0 for indeterminate
    lengthOfTask = 0;
public ByteArrayInputStream getDecryptedInputStream() {
    return this.resultStream;
   * Called from ProgressBarDemo to start the task.
public void go() {
    current = -1;
    final SwingWorker worker = new SwingWorker() {
      public Object construct() {
        return new ActualTask();
    worker.start();
   * Called from ProgressBarDemo to find out how much work needs
   * to be done.
public int getLengthOfTask() {
    return lengthOfTask;
   * Called from ProgressBarDemo to find out how much has been done.
public int getCurrent() {
    return current;
public void stop() {
    current = lengthOfTask;
   * Called from ProgressBarDemo to find out if the task has completed.
public boolean done() {
    if (current >= lengthOfTask)
      return true;
    else
      return false;
public String getMessage() {
    return statMessage;
   * The actual long running task. This runs in a SwingWorker thread.
class ActualTask {
    ActualTask () {
      current = -1;
      statMessage = "";
      resultStream = AIUtil.getInputStreamFromEncZip(cryptedFileNameAndPath); //here the decryption happens
      current = 0;
      statMessage = "";
}The code that calls decryption and displays waitWindow
      final WaitSplash wS = new WaitSplash("Please wait...");
      final DecryptFile cryptedTemplate = new DecryptFile (this.templateFile);
      cryptedTemplate.go();
      while (! cryptedTemplate.done()) {
        try {
          wait();
        } catch (Exception e) { }
      this.templateInputStream = cryptedTemplate.getDecryptedInputStream();
      wS.close();Thanks, thanks, thanks in advance!

Maybe you can try setting the priority of the long-running thread to be lower? so that the UI will be more responsive...

Problem with threads in j2me

im using jdk 1.6 with java wtk 2.1
ya i know..
2.1 is a jdk1.4 source
but im using souce as 1.4 during compiliation so thats not the prob
this is my code
package org.learn;
import javax.microedition.midlet.MIDlet;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.Alert;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.Display;
public class thtest extends MIDlet
Thread t;
public void startApp()
Alert a=new Alert("hello");
a.setString("hello");
Alert b=new Alert("world");
b.setString("world");
Display d = Display.getDisplay(this );
d.setCurrent(a);
t=Thread.currentThread();
try{
t.sleep(10000);
catch (Exception e){}
d.setCurrent(b);
public void pauseApp()
public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional)
its just supposed to pause between the alerts using threads
however when i run it using the wtk, the emulator run properly but when i launch the app, it stops executing giving me this:

please can someone help me out with this, is it an error on my part or do i have to set some option.

Hi gandalf123,
First, Thread.sleep is a static method, so you don't need to create a Thread object to use it.
I think the problem is due to the fact you don't preverify your midlet.
More over, you don't need to double post your question.
