Windows 7 and SQL Server Compact 3.5

Im trying to connect to a SQL Server Compact 3.5 that I have installed on Windows Embedded Compact 7 (Windows CE basically) running on ARM. I got the DB up and running but I cant connect to it.
Ive read there is no ODBC driver for it. What is the best way to connect to it thru Windows 7?
Thank you

You cannot connect to SQL Server Compact remotely, it is an embedded, in-process database.
If you can establish a ActiveSync/WMDC connection to your devcice, you can connect using SQL Server management Studio Express 2008 R2 (via the ActiveSync connection)

Java for PI 7.1 EHP1 in Windows and SQL Server 2008

Hi Gurus
I try to install PI 7.1 EHP1 in Windows and SQL Server 2008. The questions is :
What version of java is the correct for this installation???
And where i can download it??
Thanks and advance!!!

Hi Aaron,
The version for PI 7.1 is 1.5, instead of the 1.4.2 of 7.0/3.0.
Anyway, for VM settings, you should refer to SAP JVM, which
is used for the PI 7.11.
Hope it helps!

It is compatible Obi 11g with Windows Server 2012 and Sql Server 2012?

Hi every
Please help with two questions.
1. - Obi 11g is supported on Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012?
There a compatibility matrix which mention compatibility with versions 2012?
2. - is feasible to install Obi 11g in separate server and install weblogic on another server?
I appreciate the prompt response
Regards
Pedro

Hi Pedro,
As of November 2012 Compatibility Matrix released by Oracle for OBI 11.1.1.x Windows 2012 and SQL Server 2012 were not supported. It was supported on 2008 Windows and SQL Server.
We can have weblogic and OBI server's on 2 different machines. The approach is to opt software only install. the link below will give more details:

How to get Cumulative Update packages for SQL Server Compact v3.5 SP2 for use on a Windows Mobile device

There are links on the pages for various Cummulative Updates for SQL Compact v3.5 SP2 which look to relate to the desktop version, but are these also available for Windows Mobile devices? If so, what is the process to get hold of them?
We are seeing intermittent problems with corrupted databases on devices which are using SQL Compact v3.5 SP2 and have seen that some of the Cumulative Updates do relate to corruption and would like to see if these can help to solve the issue.

Just select the KB article, at the top of each there is a link to request a hotfix, you will then get a email with a download link. The 8088 and 8109 hotfixes also apply to Windows Mobile.

Compatability: CR 2008, VS 2005 and SQL Server 2008 on WINDOWS 7

Crystal Reports 2008, Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2008 all play nice together on a VISTA or XP box. But we cannot get a connection when we switch the OS to WIN 7. I tried to get a connection via the report designer. Is this combination of technologies currently supported?
Thanks.

Hi, Jeff;
See the [Platforms|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/00225757-ab5c-2c10-c1a8-fb9f9f0f4ac2] document for CR 2008. You need Service Pack 2 to run on Windows 7.
If you already have SP 2, then what happens when you try to make a connection?

Is it possible to create a two node cluster with SQL server 2012 STD on node1 and SQL Server 2008 ENT on node2 on a Windows server 2012?

Hi All,
Is it possible to create a two node cluster with SQL server 2012 STD on node1 and SQL Server 2008 ENT on node2 on a Windows server 2012?
aa

I think you are confused with the way cluster is installed. Installing SQL on cluster is a two step process. On first node you create a new SQL cluster and on second node you need "AddNode" action.
Same edition media has to be used in above two operation.
you can install two separate instances with one enterprise and one standard.

Migration of SAP Business Objects BI Platform 4.1 from Windows(OS), SQL Server(DB) to AIX(OS) and Oracle(DB).

Dear All,
I have SAP Business Objects BI Platform 4.1 running on window servers and sql server database. We want to migrate this to AIX and oracle.
Can you please share what should be the best approach to carry on this migration?
Regards,
Asleh

Hi Mohammed,
Regarding your Query below is the suggestion:
Step I: Preparing for moving BOBJ application from Windows to AIX
There are some tasks that you need to perform:
To configure the existing deployment
Perform inventory and cleanup, to ensure that only the required content is moved.
Run the Repository Diagnostic Tool to detect any inconsistencies between the File Repository and the CMS repository. The upgrade management tool will not run successfully if there are inconsistencies between the File Repository and the CMS repository.
Identify any content that the upgrade management tool can't upgrade, along with the process required to upgrade that content. There is some content like Voyager Workspaces or Desktop Intelligence documents that require manual intervention before running the upgrade management tool.
Back up existing repositories, including the system database and the Input and Output File Repository Servers.
Back up custom web applications, HTML pages, and scripts in your existing deployment.
To configure the planned BI 4.x deployment
Setup and configure the Middleware and ODBC connections.
Ensure that your machines meet the deployment system's requirements, you can find information about the supported platforms in the Platform Availability Matrix (PAM) http://service.sap.com/support -> Help and Support -> SAP BusinessObjects Support -> Documentation -> Supported Platform s/PARs -> SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.x
Step II:
You can use database backup & FRS backup (Offline) in new environment (AIX) to deploy BOBJ 4.x Version
Take the help of DBA to move CMS & AUDIT database backup from SQL Server (Windows) to Oracle (AIX)
Test the Universe,reports, Check the rights
Step III:
If you are configured any SSO then make sure that same configuration is deployed in new environment (AIX).
Test the user SSO in new environment (AIX).
Or
You can also use Promotion manager to move the contenet from Windows (Business Objects Application) to UNIX (Business Objects Application)
Only prerequisite is Business Objects Application version should be same.
You can copy content only 50 Object at a time in One Job
FRS Offline backup is required.
Necessary files regarding custom web applications, HTML pages, and scripts in your existing deployment.
Please refer the below KBA for more details

SQL Server Compact 3.5 Merge Replication With SQL Server 2012 - Causing IIS App Pool to Crash

Hi, I may be the only person in the world doing this but I wanted to give this information to anyone else who may follow this path in the future, and hopefully avoid a headache, or at least a paid support call to Microsoft.
My original scenario was we had a SQL Server 2008 Server using Merge Replication through and IIS (web server) to several Windows Mobile 6 devices. This has worked fairly well for a few years.
Recently we upgraded our SQL server to version 2012 SP 1. After moving the database over to the new server, and re-setting the merge replication stuff, we couldn't get merge replication to work on the Windows Mobile 6 handheld devices. The replication
would appear to start, and then we would get a message saying that the device could not get to the web site. The message on the handheld device was this:
"The IIS service is not available."
After doing some more research, we found that the start of the replication process was causing the Thread Pool that was running the SQLCESA35.dll to crash.
The SQLCESALOG.txt file had this information:
Date Time == SQLCESA Version ==> 3.5.8088.0
Date Time Hr=80004005 ERR:Couldn't find existing RSCB 1
After 2 days of trying to figure out the issue on our own, we gave in and called for paid Microsoft support. They eventually found a known issue where a cumulative update was able to fix the problem.
We installed the update on the IIS server and everything ran smoothly again.
FIX: Merge replication fails when you use SQL Server Compact to perform a merge replication that synchronizes changes with a publisher in SQL Server 2012

System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeException (0x80004005): Native components of SQL Server Compact engine are not loaded. Please reinstall Microsoft SQL Server Compact.

Hi
I have followed http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173298(v=sql.110).aspx to support private deployment for my application in anycpu mode.
Though its working fine on several XP and Windows 7 , on on particular XP machine , I get this
System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeException (0x80004005): Native components of SQL Server Compact engine are not loaded. Please reinstall Microsoft SQL Server Compact.
   at System.Data.SqlServerCe.NativeMethods.ThrowIfNativeLibraryNotLoaded()
   at System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeEngine.Dispose(Boolean disposing)
   at System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeEngine.Finalize()
Can anybody give me directions on this?

Do you use LINQ to SQL or EF or ADO.NET, is what
Yes, I would start by investigating:
- Do you REALLY need "any CPU", or can you cope with just x86 to make things simpler (See my LINQ to SQL blog post)
- Is SQL Server Compact installed on this PC, and which build (is it same or different from the one you distribute)
- Use Process Explorer from sysinternals on the machine to find out where the app tries to load the native libraries from (and fails)

Vb 2010 data source configuration wizard and sql server 2012

I am having a problem using the Data Source Configuration Wizard in vb 2010 express to connect to a remote SQL server database. The weird thing is that I can connect to it just fine if I manually dimension the sqlcommand, sqlconnection and set up the sql
connectionstring. So I know the connectivity is possible, but I would like to use the functionality of the Data Source Configuration Wizard.
Here's what happens when I attempt to add a connection via the Database Explorer:
I only get two SQL Server options. Neither will let me connect to a remote database.
I know that Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 isn't what I want, but I have tried it anyway. It will only let me connect to a database on my computer. An 'ActiveSync' option is greyed out.
Microsoft SQL Server Database File would appear to be what I want, but when I select this option, it informs me (as you can see) that this will only work for a local database:
The connection string that I build manually (and which works) looks like this:
Dim
myConn
As
NewSqlConnection(sConnect)
sConnect =
""Data Source=xxxxxx.xxxxxx.com;Server=""Xxxx XXX Database"";Initial Catalog=StockAnalysisProd;User
ID=cadietz;Password = "& sPW &
I have attempted all variation of this string in the database file name input box to no avail. I think it really should go in as a Data Source but those are hard wired and cannot be changed. I'm sure I'm doing something stupid, but I need someone
to point out what it is. Thanks in advance for your help...
Alex3764

Alberto... thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately this does not appear to work. I downloaded Visual Studio Express for the Web (2012) and attempted the 'work around' proposed by Sergey and I could not make it work on the remote server. I have given up on the Data Connection Wizard and
am simply connecting to my remote SQL server using the manual classes (SqlConnection, SqlCommand, SqlDataAdapter, etc.). The moderator has marked this as an answer but I'm going to unmark it.
I am now even more frustrated because I now find that I cannot connect to my LOCAL SQL database using the Data Connection Wizard and the circumstances are even weirder. Here's what happens:
I open the Add Connection window, select 'Microsoft SQL Server Database File (SqlClient)' as the data source.
I then browse to my local database file in the Database file name input box. When I click the 'Test Connection' button I get a message box that informs me: 'Test connection
succeeded'. Voila!
But, alas, when I close the message box and click OK on the Add Connection window I get this message: 'The ability to open this connection is not supported in this edition of Visual Studio'.
I mean this borders on the absurd. Why is the Data Connection Wizard even offered with VB 2010 Express if you can't use it for anything. Once again I can get around the problem manually but I'm getting very frustrated with MS. Any suggestions??

ASP Website - Web Config provider problem with EF4 / Sql Server Compact 4.0

I am setting up a website which will exchange data with remote Windows Desktop applications and am using SQLCE4.0 and EF4.0 to upload and deserialize an entity to the database with the following code:
Using dc As ContribDataEntities = New ContribDataEntities
   Dim sc As SaleComp = ByteToCSC(comp)
   dc.SaleComps.Add(sc) <-- Exception occurs here
   dc.SaveChanges()
End Using
The exception I get is:
System.Data.Entity.Core.MetadataException was unhandled by user code
HResult=-2146232007
Message=Schema specified is not valid. Errors:
App_Code.ContribData.ssdl(2,2) : error 0152: No Entity Framework provider found for the ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SqlServerCe.4.0'. Make sure the provider is registered in the 'entityFramework' section of the application config file.
See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=260882 for more information.
Source=EntityFramework
I do not see an entity framework section in my Web.Config, but SqlServerCe.4.0 appears to be there.
Any ideas? Thanks.

SQL Server Compact 3.5/4.0 - Client / Server .sdf database file compatibility

I am considering connecting autonomous Windows Desktop PCs with SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2 databases via an ASP Website and would like to provide database upload/download capabilities.
If I use SQL Server Compact 4.0 as the Website database, will the desktop and website files be interchangeable so database files can be uploaded and downloaded without conversion?
I presume that since the database structure is ado.net in both cases, it will not matter that the ASP website could be using Entity Framework and the Desktop PCs using Linq to SQL as OR/M?
Thanks for any guidance.
-BGood

>> I can upload .sdf files to the ASP website and have the website convert to 4.0,
Yes, you can use SqlCeEngine.Upgrade for this
>> for download purposes I need to develop a REST API
No neccesarily, as you could use my scripting libs to script the 4.0 database file to a script, then
create a new file (alos using my scripting libs) and run the script against the database file (also using my scripting libs) - all on the web server. Remeber to allow 3.5 to run on the web server: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/stevelasker/archive/2006/11/27/sql-server-compact-edition-under-asp-net-and-iis.aspx

Inserting data to a . SDF database (SQL Server Compact Edition connection)

Hi, all.
I'm working on a project that worked fine while connecting to SQL Server 2008. I used a connection string like this:
Driver={SQL Server Native Client 10.0};Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Uid=myUsername;Pwd=myPassword;
Now, I've replaced all database connections in my project to work with SQL Server Compact Edition, and my connection string is something like this:
Provider=Microsoft.SQLSERVER.CE.OLEDB.3.5;Data Source=myDir\myDataBase.sdf;
After changing the type of connection, I'm getting an error on "DB Tools Insert Data.vi". This is what I get:
Error -2147217872 occurred at NI_Database_API.lvlib:Cmd Execute.vi->NI_Database_API.lvlib: DB Tools Insert Data.vi->Main.vi
Possible reason(s):ADO Error: 0x80040E30 Exception occured in Microsoft SQL Server Compact OLE DB Provider: The given type name was unrecognized. [,,,,,] in NI_Database_API.lvlib:Rec Create - Command.vi->NI_Database_API.lvlib:Cmd Execute.vi->NI_Database_API.lvlib: DB Tools Insert Data.vi->Main.vi
This is a simplified block diagram (as I said, it worked perfectly while using SQL Server 2008 connection):
Could you please help me?
Thanks in advance,
Francisco

Hi, Steve. Thanks for your answers.
I worked around this problem by using directly a SQL query instead of this function (you were right, using DBTools Execute Query VI). But now I'm getting problems with other functions, when inserting data into the DB including NULL values.
I make a SQL query like this using DBTools Execute Query VI:
INSERT INTO Table1 (Column1, Column2, Column3, Column4, Column5, Column6) VALUES ('Value1', 'Value2', 'Value3', 'NULL', 'Value5', 'Value6')
and get the following error:
ADO Error: 0x80040E07Exception occured in Microsoft SQL Server Compact OLE DB Provider: A literal value in the command could not be converted to the correct type due to a reason other than data overflow. [,,,,,] in NI_Database_API.lvlib:Conn Execute.vi->INSERT (new) restricción (DBCT).vi->Restricciones a Base de Datos (DBCT).vi->Definir - editar restricciones.vi->Main.vi
The same SQL query worked perfectly when using the SQL Server 2008 connection, so it's not a database structure issue.
Could somebody please help me?
Regards,
Francisco
