Using a data source(ODBC)

hello friends,
i have an application that accesses an Access database, SQL (microsoft) and Oracle databases; but each time i run the application, it requests that i create a datasource. so, to do that, i use the windows default "DataSource(ODBC)" program. Also, if i install the application on a different system, together with the access database, it still requests me to create a datasource...................
please,
1. how can i avoid having to create a datasource each time i use a different system? can i bunddle a datasource with my application? if possible , how?
2. Also, how can i call another none java application for example an "exe" application from within a java program? ie. how can i instruct a non java or even a java "exe" application to start running, upon the click of a button in my java prgram?
3.consider this code:
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection con;
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:TRY,"sa",null);
is it possible to avoid having to use the "jdbcodbc driver" if yes what other driver can i use? do you know any website to download from?
Also, can i avoid having to mention a datasource , for example, "TRY" in the sample code above?
4. how can i make my java application detect a database eg. access or textfile , i bundle with it, without the need to create a data source? is there any other method of getting a connection to a resident database without the use of a data source as used in above code?
thanks in advance for all your help.

1,3: DSN-less connections may or may not help you, I've never done ODBC with Access.

OLE DB or ODBC error.
An error occurred while processing table 'XXXXXXXXXX'.
The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed.

How to use Sql data source from Essbase 9.3.1

Hi All,
How to use Sql data source from Essbase 9.3.1 for ASO cube.Are there any rules and limitations for that.
Do we need to create any data source connection for this purpose. If there please let me know the dteps to create that connection.
Regards

Yes you need to create one DSN connection and you have to use DSN name and login details at the time of building/loading of the outline.
Create DSN
Goto Administrative tools -> DataSources (ODBC) and add the DSN name and specify the Server name of SQL and login details and database.
goto data prep editor and click on File Menu and Click on Open SQL option Next window opens.
There you have to enter the details of the DSN connection and SQL query to build/load.
Thanks,

How to create a report using XML data source from Crystal Report Designer

Hi,
Iu2019m having Crystal Report Designer XI R2 SP4. Iu2019m trying to create a report using XML data source stored on disk. This is a customer order report and the xml is structured in such a way that it has an order details header part (master) and then it has several order lines (detail). One order line can have several order line characteristics (detail-detail). So what I need to know is now I can design this layout from the designer. If this was done using views I can do it with sub-reports but using xml data this seems to be different. Can you help me to design this layout? I have included the xml and xsd as well.
Thank you in advance.

Chanaka

Hi Sourashree,
Thank you for the response and ideas you have given me so far. I can get the fetch the data from the data source without any problem. That is I do the following,
1.     New Report
2.     From Create New Connection-> XML
3.     Provide the u201CLocal XML Fileu201D and have u201CSpecify Schema Fileu201D checked -> Next
4.     Provide the u201CLocal Schema Fileu201D -> Finish
Then I can see the following under XML
+ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
        CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
And from here if I add the following three I can get all the fields I need to the report
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
Then I come to the Linking section. Here I canu2019t link anything. There is a common field called u201CInternal_IDu201D but I canu2019t link using it. So I get a message when I click Next. From here I add all the fields.
For this point onwards only I need help. How do I group, add fields and design the layout so I can get an report output as follows.

How can I achieve this kind of a layout using the give xml and xsd? Should I use grouping if so how should I do the grouping?
I have included the full xml and xsd in the first mail I posted but I canu2019t see it now. I can include that again if you want.

Any examples of a data template using multiple data sources?

I'm looking for an example report using multiple data sources. I've seen one where they do a master/detail but I'm just looking to combine results in sorted order (sorted across all data sources). The master/detail used a bind variable to link the two defined queries, I'm thinking what I want won't have that, so I'm lost on how to make that happen. I have reports using multiple sql queries and there is a way in the data source pulldown to tell it to combine the data sources. It appears to be a more manual process with data templates, if it's even possible.
Any pointers/links would be appreciated.
Gaff

Hi Vetsrini :
That's just it. Mine is simpler than that. There is no master/detail relationship between the two queries. I have the same exact query that I run in two databases and I want to merge the results (ordered, by, say eventTime) in one report. So I think my results are going to be two separate groups (one for each data source) which I'll have to let BI merge vis XSLT or whatever it uses. That's fine for small result sets but for larger ones, it would be nice if the database did the sorting/merging.

Data sources (ODBC) config -MS SQL Server linking

OS -WS2008 R2-64
I realize that the problems I'm experiencing are not one’s everyday’s activities and are falling quite astray of the regular Oracle dba work.
There is no other place to post but here as the MS SQL Server forums were not able to provide any solution so far.
I hope somebody could have experienced similar issues and could have solutions or at least to point to the right direction.
The box has a MS SQL Server 2008 that has to be linked with an Oracle 10g database on a different box(SunOS 5.10).
The source for the ODBC drivers supposed to be Oracle Client + ODAC.
The simple scenario of linking SQL Server to Oracle got developed into an ugly battle with Oracle drivers to be recognized by the SQL Server.
Numerous installations-de-installations of the Oracle Client 10g + ODAC and Oracle Client 11 + ODAC led to nowhere.
The major points of failures are:
1. The OracleMTS Recovery Service gets broken and can not start - the installation of ODAC fails.
Following the Metalink: Recreating Oracle MTS Recovery Service [ID 836137.1]
fails even with domain admin account - "access denied".
2. In case when the Oracle Client + ODAC get a successful installation:
- no effort could make the oracle drivers to ne recognized by the SQL server.
Even with config of Data Sources (ODBC) and successful connection test against the Oracle databases -> there is no way to have the oracle OraOLEDB.Oracle listed in the SQL Server dropdown window with available drivers.
3. Data Sources (ODBC) - fail to initiate reporting bogus reasons.
As there are 32 and 64 bit of applications (ODBC Managers) and corresponding – or not – drivers------ there is a reportedly confusion over the forums which drivers are for which OS.
The bottom line is – linking fails (something I have done successfully before).
I have the feeling there is something wrong with our environments, but have no way to prove it.
I’m posting with a little hope for help.
Thx,

WS2008 is 64 bit
MS SQL Server 2008 is 64-bit
Solaris is 64-bit
Oracle is 64-bit
Oracle's OLE DB - as OraOLEDB.Oracle
or Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (MSDASQL) .
The road block is that I can not configure a Data Sources (ODBC) - System DSN with any of OraOLEDB.Oracle or MSDASQL because they are not listed on the list of available drivers!!!!
Source for OraOLEDB.Oracle has to be the Client11g - ODAC installation. - at no avail
Source for MSDASQL should be the OS by itself as the driver is built in. - at no avail
(the SQL server recognizes the MSDASQ - listed under Linked servers providers).
As per the information from Microsoft and other forums - the mess is based upon 32 - 64 bit applications and drivers; on the way the installations were done.
Even the server administrator advises for a new installation.
Thx,

How to define data-sources-alias.xml to use Oracle data source

Hi,
I created Oracle jdbc Data Source named "MYDS" in Visual Admin. I added the alias = MYDS_ALIAS. I set the Initial Connection to 2. On the Monitor tab, I see a green line running across the screen. The datasource MYDS is connected to the Oracle.
Now, I would like to define "data-sources-alias.xml" to use MYDS.
When creating data-source-aliases.xml it creates the alias by default on ${com.sap.datasource.default} which is the default DB.
I followed the link --> How to point data-source-aliases.xml to another Datasource
and my data-sources-alias.xml is now:
<data-source-aliases>
     <aliases>
          <data-source-name>$</data-source-name>
          <alias>BRANCH50DS</alias>
     </aliases>
</data-source-aliases>
The "EAR generatation has finished successfully", but when "Deploy to J2EE Engine", I got the error below:
1) How to define data-sources-alias.xml to use Oracle data source?
2) I found the link (SDA Deployment error) talking about "sda-dd.xml". How to create "sda-dd.xml" and make it use substitution variables "MYDS"

Using JDBC Data Sources with ADFBC, NoInitialContextException

Using JDBC Data Sources with ADF Business Components, NoInitialContextException
I follow the instruction in the link below to create an ADF Swing application using datasource. I am using JDeveloper version 10.1.3.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/howtos/10g/usingdatasources/using_datasources.html
The ADF generated code looks like this:
JUMetaObjectManager.setErrorHandler(new JUErrorHandlerDlg());
JUMetaObjectManager mgr = JUMetaObjectManager.getJUMom();
mgr.setJClientDefFactory(null);
BindingContext ctx = new BindingContext();
ctx.put(DataControlFactory.APP_PARAM_ENV_INFO, new JUEnvInfoProvider());
ctx.setLocaleContext(new DefLocaleContext(null));
HashMap map = new HashMap(4);
map.put(DataControlFactory.APP_PARAMS_BINDING_CONTEXT, ctx);
mgr.loadCpx("datasource.view.DataBindings.cpx" , map);
final FormMain frame = new FormMain();
frame.setBindingContext(ctx);
I got this error when executing the last line: frame.setBindingContext(ctx);

If I configure the application module connection type as JDBC URL, everything works.
If the connection type is JDBC Datasource, I got the above error.
Can someone show me how to adjust the generated code by ADF to use datasource?

ADF BC has a bug. With Data Source in Application Module, application module does not connect. Use JDBC Connection URL.

Delta using generic data source

Is it possible to use same data source for two info cube

Hi,
My Problem is in BW we can not have value of material at storage location level.In R/3 also value is maintained at plant level.
Then we searched and we found out one hot to doc for summarized display of stock values on storage location level.
Problem is that we have gone live in last December and we are using " 0AFMM_C02 " and it contains around 1,81,26,000 records. and according to note we have to use
"0IC_C03".
Both the cube uses same data sources for the data.So, how to get the data for "0IC_C03".
and how to delete the data of existing info cube.And is it possible to delete data selectively from the info cube.
Pls. help.
Regards,
viren.

Hi,
You can't create update rule from PSA.You can create from the infosource or from ODS or from cube to cube or ODS to ODS.
In your scenario, what you can do is create update rules from the ODS to the new cube and then transfer the data from there. Or from the Infosource create rules to the new data target and then upload the full data and then set up the delta.
Third option is to create update rules from the existing cube to the new cube and then load all the data one time. Then you can deactivate the update rules as that was needed only for 1 time data transfer.
Cheers,
Kedar

Code Page Setting while extracting data using Generic Data Source

Hi,
Can anybody tell me about the Code Page setting used in Generic Data Source in SAP BW 3.5?
I am extracting data from a Master Table using Generic data Source, but the data which is in Ukrane language is getting loaded as "#". Where do we set the Code Page for it?
Regards,
YK.

To continue with earlier question, is there any particular setting for a master data, to load non english data as a text of master data?
I want to load TEXT of a master in Ukraine language. I am extracting this text from the P table of same master (From Description Field). But TEXT is not getting populated whenever it is Ukraine language. English TEXT is populated correctly.
Please share your experiences...
Thanks,
YK.

Problem during extraction using generic data sources

Hi
While performing extraction(master data) using generic data sources I am getting a problem.
while selecting application component, I am unable to find SD to select it.What should I do?
I selected CRM as application component and did the extraction , it is successful.
But what about if we want to select SD? I am guessing it as an installation problem ... Anyone plz help me
Thank you

Hi Deepthi,
Looks like the RFC connection between source system and BW system is broken..
Contact your basis team to check the connection what went wrong.
once the connection is re-established you can gohead ...
Try out this procedure
Type Transaction SM59.
a.) Open the RFC Destinations.
b.) Find your Source System and double click on it.
c.) Technical setting should contain information regarding your source
system
d.) Logon Information should contain source system client and name &
password for you remote logon.
**Suggestion : our remote name for our R/3 was ALEREMOTE. We use
BWREMOTE so that we can monitor without confusion.
e.) Execute your 'Test Connection' & 'Remote Logon'. You connection
should be You should NOT be prompted for a password.
f.) Repeat above to verify RFCs for other systems

Jdeveloper using containers data-sources

Hi,
Could some one please help me. I developed an application in jdeveloper using BC4J. It uses jdevelopers database connections. I deployed it to a remote 9iAS Application server. Now, i want the application to use containers data-sources instead of using jdev's format. I configured data-sources in the container, defined resource reference mapping for this application but still it seems to be not using containers data-sources.
Any one of you have any ideas please?

Failed to Authenticate - Submitting Document using Remote Data Source

This is the error in PTSpy when I try and submit a document in a folder using the Data Source.
This is on a development server, our production server works fine with the settings in the Data Source/Web Service and Remote Server. Where else should I look to resolve this issue?

Banging my head against the wall,Chris Stoffel------- Davin Hanlon wrote on 5/4/04 4:48 AM -------
Hi Jeremy,
Make sure the user has 'Log on as a Batch Job' rights on the CWS machine. Also, ensure the CWS machine is in the same domain as the user it is trying to impersonate, or a domain that trusts the domain of that user.
Also, there is logging available. Amend the web.config file (\plumtree\ptntcws\5.0\webapp\ntcws). Change the line:
<level value="INFO" />
to be
<level value="DEBUG" />
The log will be output to D:\Program Files\plumtree\ptntcws\5.0\settings\logs\log.txt (this is the default value, again this is set in the web.config file). This will help you get more information on the error.
Let me know how you get on.
Thanks

Bringing the actual cost (splitting among activity type) using 0co_om_cca data sources

Hi expert,
I'm using the data source 0co_om_cca_9 to bring the cost center data but the actual data is not being split per fixed and variable cost.
I've checked with CO team and the process to split the cost happens in the end of the month and it record the data with value type '3' in the covp table but the standard data source 0co_om_cca_9 just get the data with value type '4'.
Does someone know a standard datasource to bring the data with value type 3 from covp?
Thank you.
César Sevilha.

Hi César,
Please check if DataSource 0CO_OM_CCA_2 can deliver what you need.
