Using Generic Connectivity Agent on Linux

Hello All,
My dbms is Oracle 8i Release 3 (8.1.7), my OS is Linux RedHat 7.0. I want to establish a connection from Oracle to an ODBC data source. So, I know I have to use Generic Connectivity Agent, but I can't find execution file for this agent which the Listener will execute. The only file I have is hsodbc.o in $ORACLE_HOME/hs/lib path. Are there anybody who knows how can I link this object file, or where can I get a linked one?
Best regards, Roman Zhirov ([email protected])

Note that the Oracle ODBC driver is not involved at all when you're trying to use Oracle's generic connectivity. Thus, this probably isn't the forum you want to ask this question in.
Since there isn't a generic connectivity forum, you might try posting to the Linux group. Alternately, it may be necessary to contact Oracle Support.

Not able to connect to DB2 using generic connectivity

Hi
We are trying to connect to DB2 using Oracle Generic connectivity and we are getting ERROR at line 1:

Please suggest on this.

No gateway log information generated even with setting trave level to DEBUG indcates that the listener cannot start the gateway process.
Please check the listener.log for details on the failure. Secondly, what kind of Linux is it? 32- or 64-bit?

Networking/connection failure using generic connectivity with paradox databases

I tried to establish a connection from our Oracle 8i-Server
(Rel. 8.16 ) to a remote paradox-database via a database-link

Please contact Oracle support for this issue.
Ensure that you are using an ODBC driver that meets the
requirements listed in the documentation.
Also double check that the ODBC driver is configured correctly.

How to use ODBC connection specified on Linux containing Oracle BI EE 11g on BI Administration?

I have Oracle BI server (OBIEE 11g) installed on a Linux machine. I want to use a MySQL database running on same machine for reporting. I need to create Subject Area from the MySQL database.
However, I am having problem creating connection pool from the MySQL database. BI Administration runs only on Windows and I can't see ODBC connections on Linux even when I opened BI from Linux in online mode in BI Administration. I have created ODBC on Windows, but it's giving me a "Failed to perform requested action" when trying to import metadata.
For the record, everything works fine when everything is installed on Windows.

How to use Xmanager connect to my linux 5.3

Do everybody how how to config Xmanager to connect to linux 5.0 ?
I searched but can not do successfull
So thanks
Ch

From what I understand, Xmanager uses xdmcp protocol, which is obsolete and not considered secure and to be avoided by today's standards. If you still want to got that path, here seems to be a good tutorial I found with Google: http://it.megocollector.com/?p=740
If your task is to make a remote windows session to your Linux server, it will be better to look into VNC or X-forwarding using SSH. You can find some useful info here at Re: Remote Desktop and need to set env variables

Is HS Generic Connectivity(db2/400 odbc) supports Distributed Transaction?

hi,
Is HS Generic Connectivity(db2/400 odbc) supports Distributed Transaction?
I am getting an error as follows
"ORA-02047 cannot join the distributed transaction in progress" when i am trying a transaction, which is inserting in to db2/400 and updating in Oracle.
if it does not support this, what is the best way
to do such things using generic connectivity.
(eg. by committing each sql statement ?)
my db is oracle 9i 9.2.0.4.0
remote db is db2/400 connected with client access ODBC.
Thanks
BA

Hi,
one of the restrictions of generic connectivity is, that distributed transactions are not allowed.
See manual: 7-6 Oracle9 i Heterogeneous Connectivity Administrator's Guide
- Generic Connectivity agents cannot participate in distributed transactions; they
support single-site transactions only
So you can only commit after each statement or you have to use the GATEWAY

A problem on generic connectivity

Hi,
I'm new here.
I use Oracle 8.1.7 database and SQL Server 2005.
From the Oracle side, I make SQLs and throw them to the SQL server side using generic connectivity.
In most cases it works fine but when I try to throw a rather heavy one that I expect will return 50,000 or 60,000 rows, trace files for generic connectivity contain the same error message that read:
Remote HO Agent received unexpected RPC disconnect
status 1003: ncrorpi_recv_procid, called from horg.c
but I get no Orcale errors such as ORA-03113.
In the worst case when I get this message several times a day, the Oracle instance goes down.
I suppose this might have something to do with network problems but since this system is already available for my customer, I would like to avoid this error if I can before I pinpoint what makes this error.
If anyone could suggest something helpful I would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

The code whic I used is as follows...
import java.sql.*;
class Emp
public static void main (String args [])
throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException
Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:orcl", "scott", "tiger");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement ();
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery ("select ENAME from EMP");
while (rset.next ())
System.out.println (rset.getString (1));
I am using jdk1.2
and the driver classes are classes12_01.zip.
I have set the same in the classpath.
The error is ...

Oracle Generic Connectivity in Oracle Application Ser ver 10g.

Hi Tak and All!
With the help of your great guidence, I have connect the Generic Connectivty for MS Access and MS Excel successfully in client server environment.
The topology was..
Host A = Custom installation of Oracle9i database + MS ACCESS
Host B = Oracle 9i Database (Complete)
But...
tell me How the Oracle Generic Connectivity will connect in ORACLE APPLICATION SERVER. What will be the concept and topology? Because the client only have the URL which is used for getting application on browser.
I will be extremely thankful.
All these forums always help me.
Thanks
Rana Adnan

It depends. Oracle Reports can connect to Oracle and non-Oracle databases directly, without using Generic Connectivity.
Your Forms application would presumably connect only to the Oracle database. The Oracle database might well connect to other Oracle and non-Oracle databases via database links. The non-Oracle database links would utilize Generic Connectivity.
Given the three machines A, B, and C
A could connect to B and B could connect to C
A could connect to C for reporting queries

Form Error: form based on a Generic connectivity view

A view was based on a select from a table in a Syabase database (accessed in Oracle using Generic Connectivity).
When I built a block in a Form based on that view, I faced the following error:
ORA-02070: database SYB does not support ROWID in this context.
Also, the same error appeared in the reports accessing the same view.
Can anyone give me a clue to solve this problem plz?
Thanks in advance.

I later knew that the issue can be addressed by setting the parameter Key Mode to nonupdatable.

Using Oracle Generic Connectivity to connect from Oracle to Microsoft Acces

I am trying to connect from Oracle to Access using ODBC. I followed the steps described in oracle documentation but was not sucessful. Could you plase take a look at my code let me know where I went wrong. It is as follows :
1)Created an ODBC connection for Microsoft Access called 'MSACCESS' (System DSN). And associated accdb1.mdb to this ODBC connection.
2)Created a table called orders in accdb1.mdb.
3)Added the foll lines in tnsnames.ora
accdb1 =

Use HS Generic Connectivity in Oracle Express (XE)

Can I use HS Generic Connectivity in Oracle Express (XE) or do I need a "full" database?

I see you've managed to get HS working on Oracle XE. I am trying to do the same, but am hitting a wall when trying to set the hs_fds_connect_info parameter in that Oracle does not seem to recognise it:-
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
ORA-32003: error occured processing parameter 'hs_fds_connect_info'
LRM-00101: unknown parameter name 'hs_fds_connect_info'
SQL> show parameter hs
NAME TYPE VALUE
hs_autoregister boolean TRUE
Is there anything I need to set elsewhere to enable this? Any help would be appreciated.

Generic Connectivity from Oracle 10gR2 to SQL Server using ODBC

Hi,
I have setup an ODBC generic connection from an Oracle 10.2 database (on Win 2000) to a SQL Server database (on a different Windows machine). When I query a column which is of LONG data type (TEXT on SQL Server) my session just hangs, no data or errors are returned, trace file just ends showing the SQL statement I entered, but no errors.
If I query other columns with CHAR, DATE, NUMBER datatypes the rows are returned successfully. As far as I can see from the documentation, the TEXT data type in SQL Server should map to SQL_LONGVARCHAR in ODBC, then that should map to LONG in Oracle, so I wouldnt have thought it was an incompatible data mapping issue.
I hear that LONG is being replaced/deprecated in Oracle, but is it now not supported by the HS ODBC program provided with 10g Rel 2? Has anyone else had a similar problem and found a workaround? Any help is much appreciated.
Kieren.

Hi,
HSODBC is not supported on Windows x64. So that's why you get the error ORA-28545
What you can do is to install DG4ODBC 11g on a 32bit machine.
DG4ODBC can be installed separately from the Oracle Server, for example on the SQL SERVER if you can.
But it is supported only in 32 bit too.
You can download from this website:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle11g/111060_win32soft.html
==>Oracle Database Gateways 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.6.0) for Microsoft Windows (32-bit)
The last option would be to create a virtual machine on your X64 machine with a Windows 32bit and DG4ODBC 11g.
Please let me know if you have any question.

Mireille

How to do a Generic Connectivity (ODBC) ?

Hello,
Generic Connectivity provide Oracle Database to connect another
database via ODBC. In my case, it is Oracle 8.1.6 which connects
to Sybase Enterprise 11 on Win NT. The Module "Generic
Connection" is installed. I view it by the Oracle Universal
Installer and I have configured the Windows ODBC Manager to
connect to Sybase.
This is what I've done step by step:
1. C:\Oracle\Ora81\hs\Admin\iniths_syb.ora
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = SPS_NACIONAL
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = ON
HS_FDS_TRACE_FILE_NAME = hs_syb.log
2. C:\Oracle\Ora81\Network\Admin\Listener.ora
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = nacional)(PORT = 1521))
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = oracle)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:\Oracle\Ora81)
(SID_NAME = oracle)
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = hs_syb)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:\Oracle\Ora81)
(PROGRAM = hs_syb)
I reload the listener by the following command :
lsnrctl
stop
start
3. C:\Oracle\Ora81\Network\Admin\Tnsname.ora
ORACLE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = oracle)
hs_syb =
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID=hs_syb)
(HS = OK)
I test the tnsname at the prompt command line :
tnsping hs_syb
(It's OK)
4. Database Link
CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK syb
USING 'hs_syb';
5. Test database link
select * from emp@syb;
And Errors occur :
ORA-28509: unable to establish a connection to non-Oracle system
ORA-02063: preceding line from SYB
6. I read again the documentation
http://technet.oracle.com/doc/oracle8i_816/server.816/a76960/hs_g
enco.htm
and I found some tables to be feed with data by the HS_ADMIN
packtage :
This is what I have added :
EXEC DBMS_HS.CREATE_FDS_CLASS ('hs_syb','Uses ODBC Driver')
EXEC DBMS_HS.CREATE_FDS_INST ('hs_syb','hs_syb','SYC Sybase
System 10/11')
EXEC DBMS_HS.CREATE_INST_INIT
('hs_syb','hs_syb','HS_DB_NAME','SYBDATA','F')
(Drop procedure :
EXEC DBMS_HS.DROP_INST_INIT
('hs_syb','hs_syb','HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO')
EXEC DBMS_HS.DROP_FDS_INST ('hs_syb','hs_syb')
EXEC DBMS_HS.DROP_FDS_CLASS ('hs_syb');
I test one more time the connection,
And I have the same error message as step 5.
7. I put in the initialization file (initoracle.ora) the
parameter
Hs_Autoregister = true (It is true by default and it doesn't
change errors. Is it another parameters for HS ?)
In fact, I don't really understand the notion of "AGENT" for HS
(Heterogeneous Services) in Oracle. Is it something to enable or
is it automatic because the iniths_syb.ora file is in the path
ORACLE_HOME\hs\admin ???
What is it missing for the Generic Connectivity ? Any
suggestion ? Say me what is the wrong step in this process or
what I have forgotten.
Thank you in advance.
Jobar Team

Hello
You're right, step two needs to set (PROGRAM = hsodbc). I understand this when I saw hsodbc.exe in the path ORACLE_HOME\Bin (and at prompt I try agtctl.exe but without sucess, an utility for Heterogeneous Services).
Now when I test the connection I can hear Oracle running something.
This is what I've done step by step (following my previous message)I test with Sybase Entreprise and Sybase Anywhere :
8. C:\Oracle\Ora81\Database\initoracle.ora
I set a parameter in init file and I reload Oracle database :
global_names = false
OR in SQL+
alter session set global_names=false;
WITH SYBASE ENTREPRISE
9. C:\Oracle\Ora81\hs\Admin\iniths_syb.ora
At the beginning my iniths_syb.ora file was wrong then I correct parameters by viewing errors in C:\Oracle\Ora81\hs\trace :
#Using a dsn file generate by the Windows ODBC Manager
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO="FILEDSN=C:\sybase.dsn"
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = ON

set SYBASE=C:\\Sybase\\ASE
Contents of sybase.dsn
[ODBC]
DRIVER=Sybase System 11
UID=USERNAME
SRVR=SVRNAME
DB=master
10. Test Database link
CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK syb
CONNECT TO USERNAME IDENTIFIED BY SECRET
USING 'hs_syb';
select * from anytable@syb;
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

Contents of anywhere.dsn
[ODBC]
DRIVER=Adaptive Server Anywhere 6.0
UID=USERNAME

12. Test Database link
CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK anywhere
CONNECT TO USERNAME IDENTIFIED BY SECRET
USING 'hs_any';
select * from anytable@anywhere;
In SYBASE ANYWHERE I've got this data
select * from anytable
go
dateini col1 col2
2002-02-01 00:00:00.0000 1.5000 1.4000
In ORACLE I've got
SQL> select * from anytable@anywhere;
dateini col1 col2
01/02/02 1 1
There isn't the decimal.
The reason doesn't like to be 1.4 or 1,4 because in Anywhere and in Oracle It is the same insert "insert into anytable values ('02/02/01', 1.5, 1.4)".
13. Now I try a select of one column
select col1 from anytable@anywhere;
this error occur :
ORA-00904 invalid column name
I am sure that this column exist ! "select * from anytable@anywhere;" and "select count(*) from anytable@anywhere;" are OK.
14. And this doesn't work anymore :
insert into bx_surcharge@anywhere values ('01/02/02',1,2);
ORA-02047: cannot join the distributed transaction in progress
15. Step 6 and 7 doesn't mean to be necessary ? And Where are used parameters of the "ODBC Connectivity Requirements" in the documentation. http://technet.oracle.com/doc/oracle8i_816/server.816/a76960/hs_genco.htm (And How to use Datatype Mapping ?)
So How to successful a ODBC connection (Maybe I forget some parameters) ? For me, using a connection with ODBC is generic and have to work fine with any type of datasource, isn't it ?
Have you got any idea to deal ? Thanks a lot.

Looks like its actually connecting ok, as it includes the message "Created new ODBC connection (16585544)"
The ODBC driver is from CA (ingres) v3.5
- not sure that this fully supports all the requirements specified in the doc, and its not very well documented.
- the latest version available from their website is 2.8 which has some docs to say what it supports:
"The Ingres ODBC driver is a 2.x ODBC driver that supports all core and level 1 functions plus the following level 2 functions:
SQLExtendedFetch (through Microsoft Cursor Library only)
SQLForeignKeys
SQLMoreResults
SQLNumParam
SQLPrimaryKeys
SQLProcedureColumns
SQLProcedures
SQLSetPos (through Microsoft Cursor Library only)"
In order to test the configuration, I also copied the entries in the tnsnames and listener files, created a separate DSN, and set up a connection to an Access database - and this works fine, so I don't believe it is a configuration problem.
Is there anyone out there who has tried to connect to ingres, and is there an issue with the ingres ODBC driver.
Any help appreciated.

I'm using the Ingres 2.80.00.64 driver on NT successfully with hsodbc delivered with V92 Oracle database release.
About the provided trace file... Normally you should have a look at the odbc driver AND the hsodbc log file to see the real cause.
But according t the file you provided:
This error is normal: [G000]
The S1009 needs more clarification and thus an ODBC driver trace would help as well.
