Using XE with ODBC Gateway

Hi,
I've found this in XE licence: Generic connectivity: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17781_01/license.112/e18068/toc.htm#BABIDICB but I would like to be sure- am I allowed to use Oracle's ODBC Gateway [Generic Connectivity] with XE, at no cost?
Regards

Hi Bart,
well, you could ask some "Oracle VAD", or search the online store for a price - you won't find any.
I'd say this is a sure thing when you put all "evidence" given above together.
I cite them to make it obvious:
Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC
Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC can be installed and used on a machine different from the machine where the Oracle Database is installed and used. It is not >necessary to obtain a separate license for the machine running Oracle Gateway for ODBC.
ODBC support Yes (Windows and UNIX)"Database Gateways", on the other hand, are listed in the [url http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/technology-price-list-070617.pdf]US Oracle Technology Commercial Price List as follows (watch the heading)
Integration Products
Mainframe Integration Gateways
Database Gateway for Sybase
Database Gateway for SQL Server
Database Gateway for Informix
Database Gateway for Teradata
Database Gateway for DRDA
Database Gateway for APPC
Database Gateway for WebSphere MQThe list ends there, ODBC is not on it.
If this all doesn't convince you, you still have the option to contact a VAD.

You're mixing different OH's in your listener. The gateway is located in C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\gtw, but the database and the listener in: C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server
When you're using DG4ODBC you can use the gateway which is automatically installed in the database home -> you'll find there as well a HS directory and the dg4odbc executable. The other option is to use separate listeners for both installations. For example using the Oracle database listener on port 1521 for the database connections and 1522 for the gateway.
If you really want to use one listener (which is not the preferred solution), then you need also to specify the location to the executable, similar to:
<space>(SID_DESC =
<space><space>(SID_NAME = dblink)
<space><space>(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\gtw)
<space><space>(PROGRAM = C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\gtw\dg4odbc)
<space>)
After changing the listener.ora file, please STOP and STAT the listener using lsnrctl utility and provide its output. Also provide the output of tnsping dblink.

Using AXs with a Gateway Router...help needed

For years my wife and I lived in a home which ran an AirPort Extreme for all our internet and music needs. We've recently moved into a new home which already had a DSL/Gateway wireless router installed (as part of AT&T's HomeZone packagge). After giving serious thought to my desire to have a new wireless sound system for my new home, I bought the following at the Apple store:
- Two AirPort Express;
- A Bose Companion 3 Series II powered speaker system; and,
- An iPod HiFi.
I've hooked both the Boze speaker & HiFi systems up to their own AirPort Express, and they sound great when I run my iTunes through my wireless system for +that particular+ AirPort.
The problem is is that I can't seem to get both sound systems to play simultaneously, nor can I connect to my internet (Gateway) and run either (or both) of these speakers.
Any hints as to HOW I can get music to both AirPorts while still being able to surf the net on my Gateway router? Is there a way to bridge both AXs to the Gateway?
I know...I'm a luuddite. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hello mrviognier. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Any hints as to HOW I can get music to both AirPorts while still being able to surf the net on my Gateway router?
Yes, you just need to configure the AirPort Express Base Stations (AX) in "client mode."
AirPort Express Base Station (AX) - Client Mode Setup
o Plug the AX into a power outlet.
o On your computer, join the wireless network created by AX.
o Open AirPort Admin Utility. (Mac users: Find it in /Applications/Utilities/. Windows users: On the Start menu, point to All Programs and click AirPort.)
o After AirPort Admin Utility opens, the name of your AX appears in the list. Select it, then click Configure.
o Enter the administrator password if prompted.
o Click the AirPort tab.
o Enter a name for your AX in the Name field. (This name is how it will appear in AirPort Admin Utility; it may be different from the AirTunes remote speaker name. (Note that AirPort Setup Assistant does not allow you to differentiate these names, but AirPort Admin Utility does.)
o If your AX does not already have an administrator password, click the Change Password button to enter one. This password can be different from any network password, and is used for just changing settings on AX.
o In the same pane, under the AirPort Network heading, change the Wireless Mode from "Create a Wireless Network (Home Router)" to "Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)."
o Type the name of the wireless network you want to join in the Network Name field. (Note: If you're using AirPort Admin Utility in Mac OS X, you may be able to choose the network from a pop-up menu. This is the name (or SSID) of your current wireless network with the Trendnet router.)
o If the wireless network is password protected, you will need to enter the password. (Mac users: Click Security Options, choose the level of password encryption from the Wireless Security pop-up menu, then enter the password. When finished, click OK. Windows users: Click Wireless Security, choose the level of password encryption from the Wireless Security menu, then click "Set WEP Password" to enter the password. When finished, click OK.)
o Click the Music tab to enter the name that will appear in iTunes as your AirTunes remote speakers. You can also enter a password to prevent others from streaming music to your speakers.
o Finally, click Update to send your new settings to AX.
Once the AX has had a minute or so to restart, it should join the existing wireless network, as indicated by its status light turning solid green.

Using Oracle ODBC Gateway connecting to a remote Oracle database

Oracle 11gR2
RHEL 6.4
Has anyone use the Oracle ODBC Gateway to connect to another Oracle database? Any issues with that configuration? Where do I get the ODBC drivers for Linux?
(I know, "why not use a dblink?" -- well that would be against company security policies)

Hi,
From the Oracle point of view we support using DG4ODBC for Oracle to Oracle connections. However, we have not actually tested it as DG4ODBC is primarily designed for access to non-Oracle databases.
How DG4ODBC will work between Oracle databases depends on the ODBC driver and what that supports. You will need an ODBC Oracle driver which you can get from various suppliers including Oracle but also vendors such as DataDirect, Easysoft etc. You could try a Google search.
You say you do not want to use database links but that is how DG4ODBC is used, You cannot do -
sqlplus user/password@dg4odbc_oracle
Once Dg4ODBC is setup and configured as in this note - if you are using Linux 64-bit -
How to Configure DG4ODBC on 64bit Unix OS (Linux, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX Itanium) to Connect to Non-Oracle Databases Post Install (Doc ID 561033.1)
then in the Oracle database you create a database link and select from tables in the other Oracle database -
select * from table@dg4odbc_db_link ;

SqlPlus with ODBC

Hi all
I install Oracle9i Lite on WIN2000 Pro
I want to connect to database with sqlplus
through ODBC.
I use 'scott/tiger@odbc:polite' connection string
and get following error:
'ORA-03121: no interface driver connected - function not performed'
What this error meaning and how I can avoid it.
Thanks.

Thanks for reply.
But I want to use OCI with ODBC
and SqlPlus I use only for
testing purposes.

Can odbc gateway be installed with oracle xe?

I would like to access other databases through oracle XE. Can ODBC gateway be used to accomplish this? I am hoping to connect to Dbase, Access and QuickBooks if anyone has any experience with those particular DBs

user557610 wrote:
trying to set up the various tnsname, listener...Basic config items are listener (static "sid" for the gateway), gateway (pointing out odbc source, etc.) and the "3rd party" odbc driver config. Then you create a db link on top, for odbc source access.
Any particularly helpful documents would be appreciatedThis should be helpful in putting the pieces together:

The documentation is confusing as it states one directory but then says there are sample files to use (but those are in another directory different from what is stated).
(2)TXEIS is the 'database' I am trying to connect to. TXEIS represents the ODBC DSN on my Windows system that points to a remote Sybase database running on another Windows system to which I am trying to connect.

Network using networks with Arris TG862G52 gateway

Been floating through discussion after discussion and I still did not have a concrete concept of the panoply of choices of establishing a wifi network using an Arris TG862G52 gateway through Time Warner. Currently, living with my daughter and son-in-law in NH where Time Warner provides internet service. Because speed was lethargic, I offered to pay for upgraded internet speed. As a result, Time Warner provided an Arris TG862G52 gateway. There is a new Time Capsule directly connected to one of the Arris ports. The Arris wireless is disabled, so that a wifi network is established through the directly connected Time Capsule. From this point, the wifi network has been extended through numerous devices included a second Time Capsule. an Airport Extreme and an Airport Express. The connected Time Capsule appears to be the hub and the Bridge Mode is off. All other devices serve to extend the network. Therefore, their Bridge Modes are also off.
Not sure if I should enable the wireless through the Arris and reconfigure the network or leave well enough alone. NAT is a new concept to me. I did notice that any of the connected Apple devices give the wireless options of Bridge Mode Off, DHCP only, and DHCP and NAT.
Hey, I do not mind if you refer me to some literature, but I would appreciate a deeper understanding of cause and effects issues pertaining to enabling the Arris wifi or establishing the wifi (as it now is) with the Time Capsule.
Any help would be appreciated! I'm not opposed to reading some long as there's some direction.

Your current setup is correct, according to traditional networking rules.
Ironically, if you call Apple Support, they will recommend that you configure the Time Capsule not in the traditional Bridge Mode setting......used when there is another gateway or router "upstream" on the network...... but as a second router providing DHCP and NAT service. If you do this, you now have a Double NAT error on the network, which Apple says you can "ignore".
You might want to follow up with Apple Support if you need more details on their controversial thinking.
As far as the Arris gateway is concerned, you could turn on the wireless service on the Arris gateway if you really needed another wireless network for guests or something like that.
When you have two devices both producing a network, it is good practice to separate them by 6-8 feet or a few meters to reduce the chances of wireless interference between them. So, if the Arris gateway is located close to the Time Capsule, try to separate the devices 6-8 feet or more.

At first your configuration is not really correct.
=====================================================
In the LISTENER.ORA from 10g, you must only refer to the database and hsodbc 10g
D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\listener.ora:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = INTEGRAT)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
(SID_NAME = INTEGRAT)
(SID_DESC =

(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = pegasus.cursor.de)(PORT = 1521))
===========================================================
Then you have to create a new listener (new name) in the gateway oracle_home on a different port than instance database:
D:\oracle\product\11.1.0\tg_1\network\admin\listener.ora
SID_LIST_LISTENERGTW =
(SID_LIST =

LISTENERGTW=
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = pegasus.cursor.de)(PORT = 1522))
To start it, use the command below:
D:\oracle\product\11.1.0\tg_1\bin\LSNRCTL start listenergtw
===========================================================
D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora:
match the DG4MSQL with the listener on 1522 port
HSODBC match with binary10g on listener 1521 port
MSSQLDG =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = PEGASUS)(PORT = 1522))

ODBC Gateway error - hgopoer, line 159: got native error 0 and sqlstate HYC

Hi,
I am trying to connect to a RTDB by using the ODBC Gateway and a Simba Driver. When testing the connection I get the following error. I am using Oracle 11gR1(standard edition) on a 32bit Windows 2003 R2 server.

Hi,
Since the Gateway for ODBC 11g version, you need to use ODBC driver level 3 compliant.
There is a strong probability that your driver is not level 3 compliant.
Please can you check with ODBC provider if the driver is level 3 compliant.

Mireille

Windows 7 64bit with ODBC 11.2.0.1.0 - Exception: System.OverflowException

Hello,
Please help. I developed an interface between a CAD and Oracle 10g 32bit on Windows Server 2003. I have no problems with the using of the ODBC driver (Instant Client Package - ODBC (instantclient-odbc-win-x86-64-10.2.0.3.0.zip) on Windows XP 32bit and Windows XP 64bit.
If I try to use 64bit ODBC driver (Instant Client Package - ODBC (instantclient-odbc-win-x86-64-11.2.0.1.0.zip) on Windows 7 64bit with the Oracle DB 10g 32bit on Windows Server 2003, I receive the following message after the line with OraRead = OraComm.ExecuteReader:
Exception: System.OverflowException: Die arithmetische Operation hat einen Überlauf verursacht.
bei System.Data.Odbc.OdbcStatementHandle.RowCount(SQLLEN& rowCount)

bei System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand.ExecuteReaderObject(CommandBehavior behavior, String method, Boolean needReader)
bei System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior behavior)
The code I use is very simple:
Dim sConnection = "DRIVER=Oracle in instantclient_11_2;UID=xx;DBQ=xx;SERVER=xx;Pwd=xx"
Dim strSQL As String
Dim OraConn As New System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection
Dim OraComm As New System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand
Dim OraRead As System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataReader
Try
     OraConn.ConnectionString = sConnection
     OraConn.Open()
     strSQL = "SELECT * FROM TAB"
OraComm.CommandText = strSQL
OraComm.Connection = OraConn
OraRead = OraComm.ExecuteReader
If OraRead.HasRows Then
     OraRead.Read()
The test connection from the ODBC admin tool return ok.
Any help will be apricable.

Hristo

I'm having the same problem. Did you ever find a solution for this?
For reference, my question is located over here: OverFlowException on Oracle ODBC RowCount

What's going on with Project "Gateway" and Sybase?

I've just returned from Teched in Berlin where I followed mostly the mobile track of sessions.
I've come away alternately energised and confused. Each topic in its own right is clear, but piecing allthe components together is a different matter.
Has anyone got opinions on the future role of project Gateway? I saw many sessions by Sybase on the SUP and only one which mentioned Gateway. Gateway didn't feature in the mobile strategy slides. However, I have seen material mentioning the future tie-up of the two. If this should happen, then how might they interact? And what future for the co-innovation platform? Can we draw any conclusions on this yet?
The instant value mobile apps session CD161 seems to build on top of the SAP Data Protocol (SDP), but thinking back, they didn't mention Gateway in there at all. And the co-innovation platform session was silent on both Gateway and SDP
So does "Instant Value" equal "Project Gateway"? It can't be since the Sybase guys talk a lot about Instant Value. Are there two interpretations of this term within the organisation?
Just hoping to kick off a general discussion on this subject. All opinions and replies welcome. Especially from insiders...
Alex.

Hi Steffan - good point. I kind of assumed that LMS is another term for Project Gateway... They seem to be addressing the same problem, and the architecture diagrams look qualitatively similar. The CD121 Sybase slides also talk about the "SAP Mobile Connector", which might be yet another name for the same thing. I think you would know better than me since you've already built that thing you showed at the Demo Jam - what data consumption technology was your demo-ed app using?
I get the impression that there have been a number of independent development streams within SAP which are only now being brought together. This manifests itself to us as mixed or incomplete messages. It's easy to see how at a teched, each group might be responsible for getting its own message out and not necessarily integrating into the overall message of the mobile strategy.
So essentially there are two categories of mobile app inthe SAP vision:
1. Instant Value and
2. Mission Critical.
Then there are various methods of consuming SAP backend data from our mobile apps:-
1. Netweaver mobile DOE (via co-innovation platform?)
2. LMS
3. Project Gateway
4. Web services
5. BAPIs (via JCA)
(This is five methods, not four, which is another reason why I thought LMS and Gateway were the same thing).
Then on top (or underneath?) of all this, you have to make a call on whether to make use of the SUP middleware and/or a security product like Afaria.
So perhaps the most likely combinations look like:-
Mission Critical apps with SUP ( + Afaria ) + DOE/Gateway
or
Instant Value apps with (LMS/Gateway or simply Web services/JCA)
But if you have a LOT of Instant-value apps to build I guess your landscape could become complicated enough to justify the middleware too.
Now please someone point out the flaws in this summary!
Alex.

Error when connecting an oracle DB with Integration gateway

I followed the steps from the blog How to connect an Oracle DB with Integration Gateway in SMP3 and the ojdbc was deployed successfully to SMP. Still, i'm getting "Driver class oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver not found" error message when i try to test my connection. The first difference i saw when completing these steps was that I'm using SMP3 SP05, could this be the issue?

Joao D Franco Net
Could you share below information:
Can you cross check if deployed driver are OSGi enabled? Refer this.
Can you share screenshot of the destination settings and error ?
note: The blog you followed is referring to SP03 (1st GA of SMP3)..You should not have any problem in connecting to Oracle DB being on any SP.

JK
