Workspace without ODBC connection

Hi All,
I am new to Documaker and trying to play with the trail version of tool. By reading a document I started look creating a work-space and strucked with ODBC connection.
Is there a way I ignore the OBDC step and also import a excel data to play around with.

How can I create a data connection without ODBC (directly with OLE DB)

If connecting to an OLE DB data source, which is not defined as ODBC, the well known error message appears in Acrobat, that the environment is not trusted. The Designer Help says, that the document must be certified in Acrobat to run OLE DB without ODBC. So I certified the document in Acrobat allowing dynamic content for it. But the error message always appears. So I have some questions to this:
How is the correct certification process in Acrobat to define a trusted environment for using OLE DB without ODBC?
Why generates using of ODBC an trusted environment? With using ODBC data sources can be changed external from Acrobat, so I must think, ODBC is absolutely insecure.
Why is OLE DB without ODBC insecure? Here I have a defined connection string, which cannot be changed at runtime (if the form developer this doesn't want).
And why is the first record displayed instead of the error message, if using OLE DB without ODBC, but navigation is impossible?
This seems all very mysterious to me.
Does anyone in the world has ever created an OLE DB data connection (without ODBC) with Designer and Acrobat, which runs in a trusted environment?
Thanks for your answers.

For the Projects, the trick will be the Asset files. If they will fit onto DVD DL discs, you're OK. If they are too large (DV-AVI is ~ 13GB per hour), then you'll need some type of backup, or spanning software, that will write files across multiple discs. A better choice, IMO, would be a 1 - 2 TB external, where you can use Project Manager, or just Windows Explorer and Copy, to do the entire Project folder with Assets. I'd recommend against a USB and go at least for FW-400. FW-800 would be better, but you'll need FW-800 connections on your computer. eSATA would be the best, but then you'll need eSATA connectors.
Good luck,

How to share and Access DB (.accdb) with global tables that link to SQL Server tables without having to define ODBC connections on each client PC?

I have an Access DB with quite a few Linked Tables that point to a SQL Server backend db. Currently I am using an ODBC connection defined on my pc, but I want other users to be able to download the .accdb file from a share and run. Will I have
to define this odbc connection on each client's pc? Is there a better way to do this without having to have each client manually set this up on their PC?

Hi Jason,
I think you can automate that process. In each application I use a one-record-table in the FE with a field Connected. Connected is default False.
Starting a database in the development mode ignores this flag. Starting a database in production mode starts, if Not Connected, a procedure to RefreshLink the tables to the BE, and makes Connected = TRUE, so a next startup does not
result in a new RefreshLink.
Instead of a Boolean you could also use a string containing the path, or whatever you want.

Can I make Oracle/Microsoft Odbc connection without TNS service???

Hi All,
I want to make ADODB connection to oracle 10g database. For this currently I am using odbc connection, which requires TNS service setup in my pc. Hence I need to install Oracle client on my pc as well. Which requires license.
So is there any alternative, with which I can make my ADODB connection without TNS service implementation. Or any inputs on this will do for me. Only the thing is i need some freeware with which i can do this.
Thnx,
kc

Hi,
Well I think you might have landed in the wrong forum.
This forum is for the Oracle Call Interface (OCI) which is a C programming interface to Oracle.
Your question doesn't look to be about that unless I am misreading it.
Perhaps you are looking for the Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) downloads?
These include client software in addition to the various data access components on Windows.
ODAC is located here:

Can a SQL view see data from an ODBC connection?

Hi.　 I currently have an application that pulls data from a custom SQL view in my SQL database.　 This custom application can not be changed, so it expects to see the data exactly as presented by my custom SQL view.　 This works fine
when the data resides in SQL, but I am not sure if it is possible when the data resides outside of SQL.　 I’d like to connect to another type of database via an ODBC connection from my SQL database, and still utilize my custom SQL view.　 I would prefer to NOT
use the SQL database as a warehouse, and simply use it to pass data.
Is this possible?　　Thank you for reading.

Hi Robet,
According to your description, you want to create view in SQL Server to pass data from OBDC database to custom application, right?
In this case, we can create linked server to access an ODBC database when you are using an ODBC data source. Linked servers can use the OLE DB Provider for ODBC without using an ODBC data source. You can refer to the link below to see the details.

Multi Value Parameter with ODBC Connection

Hi Everyone . . .
I am stuck, and have been since Monday :/ . . .
Backgroud:
I am using Report Builder 3.0 with an ODBC connection to build reports off of our Vertica DB. This part is going swimmingly, thanks to the help I recieved from this forum.
Now, some of the queries that I am using (or reports I guess) require parameters. I was attempting the @Parameter and quickly realized this was not possible with the ODBC connection. I have solved this issue by using the ? as the parameter.
Works nicely, not as clean, but serves the purpose.
Most, all of my parameters to this point have been single value parameters. Now, however, we are dabbling in allowing our report users to select multiple Users as a parameter. This is where I am stuck...
I have flipped the parameter checkbox to "Allow multiple values", I then recieved an error saying this:
Cannot add multi value query parameter 'UserName' for dataset 'RankingQuery' because it is not supported by the data extension.
Here is what I have done: I have gone to the Dataset properties for the appropriate query that the parameter is being fed into > then to the Parameters tab. In the Parameters tab instead of selecting the @UserName parameter from the drop down
I clicked the Fx buttone and inserted the UserName Parameter from there it looks like this: =Parameters!UserName.Value(0)
Now because of this last step my report runs without error, however, when I select multiple user names from the parameter drop down I only recieve data for the first person selected in that drop down.
Am I missing something? Does anyone know how to fix this? Please help!
Thanks everyone.
Travis

Hi There
Thanks for your posting. Can you please try this way? Go to your dataset properties and then go to filter tab and add filter like this
Please choose your dataset filed name from the dataset in which you would like to apply the filter for your parameter
UserName
Put operator=in
And please put value like= Parameters!UserName.Value
Please do not put Parameters!UserName.Value(0)
I hope this will resolve your problem
Many thanks

Lost ODBC Connection from development environment

Using LV 7.1 and an Active-X based ODBC Connection scheme to a MySQL database which has worked flawlessly up until now. I've just written an application which accesses the database to generate a 'recipe' for our operators to follow. This is poked into a multicolumn listbox, and works perfectly from the compiled version. However, when I'm running the very same program in the development envirnment, I will get an error which indicates I have lost the connection to the database. Never happened from the built versions, and yes, I'm running exactly the same code. This is irritating, as when I'm trying to debug the SQL pieces, the code crashes. Happily, the compiled versions are working, but it makes me nervous when programs crash like this.
I am doing a listbox refresh every 60s or so, which involves accessing the database, reading a large chunk and displaying it. Im' also doing an ODBC conncetion check every 2s, and possibly some other database access depending on the operator input. MySQL is set up so that I can have 100 threads open at once, and I never approach that. I always open, do command, then close and destroy connections.
All I can think of is that there is a difference in the timing and the database access between the developement environment and the compiled versions.
Any thoughts anyone?

Hi,
Yes, that is exactly what I have done. Built the executable which runs without problems.
I've also tried to strip the program down by simply running the piece which polls the database continually. This seemed to run fine until I ran another program which also accessed the same database. So, to summarize:
1. The development environment program with single loop running accessing the database every 2s or so runs fine.
2. The dev. env. app. running multiple loops possibly accessing the db concurrently crashes
3. The same program as 2 but built into an application runs fine.

A CR remote ODBC connection question for anyone brave enough to jump in.

Greetings.
Been working with CR 2008 for about a month now, having great success. Two days ago it all went south as I hit a brick wall. Yep, I'm a relative newbie to CR, but I've been doing IT for many years. This has really got me stumped. Any takers?
My testbed:
I have a segregated network with two PCu2019s (A and B). PC (A) is running XP-Pro (32-bit) at IP 192.168.1.104, while PC (B) is running Win 7-pro 64-bit at IP 192.168.1.100.
I installed CR 2008, Oracle 10g Express and MySQL Server 5.5 on both, so they are both configured identically from a database/server perspective. Both use Norton Internet Security 2011.
Oracle EX came with a sample HR database. I added a normalized Innodb compliant northwind database to the SQL Server and verified both installations.
Both CR programs on PC(A) and on PC(B) can connect without issue to their respective local databases. The HR database has been successfully (locally) accessed by CR. The Oracle northwind database has also been successfully accessed (locally) by CR.
The problem:
When running CR on PC(A), I cannot find a way to successfully connect it (i.e., CR) via ODBC to the other databases on PC(B) - or visa versa.
I have eliminated the obvious possibilities like firewalls or improper port addressing. Strangely, I can create DSNs on PC(A) that tells me it successfully connects to the target DB on PC(B), but for whatever reason I cannot get CR on the same machine to successfully use the same DSN that just successfully connected without CR. ARRRggggggg!
For example:
Step 1:
I set up a System DSN as follows on PC(A) in my attempt to connect to the target HR database on PC(B):
System DSN: HR-Fastsob
Driver: CR Oracle Wire Protocol ODBC Driver 5.3
Standard connection, Host: 192.168.1.100
Port: 1521
Service name: XE
Step 2:
I click on the Test Connect in the u2018ODBC Oracle Wire Protocol Driver Setupu2019 window.
It responds with a u2018Logon to Oracle Wire Protocolu2019 window, in which I am prompted to enter the User Name and password. On the Oracle Express setup, I configured the database instance with root access as User: u2018SYSTEMu2019 and Password: u2018Passwordu2019, so I figured these should be the correct credentials.
I click the u2018Test Connectionu2019 connection button and breathe a sigh of relief as it tells me Iu2019ve u2018successfully connectedu2019.
Step 3:
3.1 - I launch CR
3.2 u2013 I create a new blank form
3.3 u2013 I create a new connection
3.4 - I click on ODBC (RDO)
3.5 - I select the HR-Fastsob DSN from the list of DSNs.
3.6 - Click next
3.7 - An ODBC (RDO) connection window appears. Iu2019m prompted to enter the user ID and password (SYSTEM and Password respectively), then hit the u2018Finishu2019 button.
3.8 - A u201CLogon Failedu201D pop-up appears. I hit the u2018OKu2019 button.
3.9 - Another popup appears saying u201CDatabase Connector Error: u201808s01:[Crystal Reports][ODBC Oracle Wire Protocol driver]Connection refused. Verify Host Name and Port Number. [Database Vendor Code -1]u201D. I sigh, then hit the u2018OKu2019 button.
3.10 u2013 Yet another window appears saying u201CLogon filed. Details: 08001:[Crystal Reports][ODBC Oracle Wire Protocol driver][Oracle]ORA-12203: unable to connect to destination [Database Vendor Code -1]. I hit the u2018OKu2019 button.
3.11 - An ODBC (RDO) connection window appears with my earlier entries (from step 3.7). No matter what I enter, the results are the same.
Two days later, Iu2019m still scratching my head.
I'm really hoping there's a guru in here that can feel my pain and who can dumb down the solution to this perplexing problem I'm facing.
Iu2019m really at a loss. Obviously, I donu2019t fully understand ODBC connectivity well enough.
The next beeru2019s on me if you get this one.
Thanks to anyone willing to help me out

Hi Don....
Thanks for jumping in -- much appreciated.
Your suggestion seemed plausible, as I had alternated between the system32 (64-bit) and the sysWOW (32-bit) odbc drivers. I thought maybe I had mixed it up...but alas, that didn't turn out to be the source of my problem. Your suggestion is still valid though, had I been using the 64-bit ODBC driber with a 32-bit CR app.
I decide to try another approach -- by eliminating CR from the equation altogether. I ran Microsoft excel against the same remote databases using the same DSN and voila.... all worked as I thought it should in the first place. My connection was extremely fast and rock solid.
This would ( I believe) suggest that the issue is with my version of CR i.e., Developer edition (v12.3.0.601) running on Win 7.
I tried running CR in compatibility mode XP-Pro SP2, but got the same errors. So now I have to decider whether or not to upgrade to CR 2010 in the hopes it will work on Win 7 Pro 64-bit.
Thanks again for stepping up.
warm regards
Bob

Using database without ODBC

It's possible to use a database without ODBC in Labview??

IDILIO wrote:
Hi Rolf,
At this moment I m using the Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle and it works ok, but my problem is when i do several reads at the database it reflects in a big delay for the Front Panel.
As i know that the ODBC driver is a very slow method to access database i m searching for a faster way to do it. Do you have any suggestions?
It's not ODBC that is necessarily slow. It is usually the way you retrieve data that has a lot more influence on the speed of the data retrieval. In the case of the Microsoft ODBC driver it might be that this driver is not specifically optimized for speed for various reasons.
First implementing someone elses protocol is always difficult (not sure how well Oracle documents their protocol) and the temptation to stop when it is working rather than when it is working perfect is much bigger. Also it is of course not in Microsofts interest to provide you with a solution for Oracle that outperforms their own SQL Server interface so that is even one more incentive to stop when it is working rather than when it is working perfect.
Have you tried to use the Oracle ODBC drivers? They might be more optimized so that retrieving data through ADO can be faster.
Very important is how you retrieve the data however. The classical and simple way of retrieving data element for element is very slow. For this ADO/OLE DB has introduced rowsets which query several rows of a query result at once in one single driver request and then later allow the client to retrieve the elements locally into the native data. This is for remote databases always a huge performance improvement, since the bottle neck here is the network communication and not the memory manager or IO interface.So requesting one whole bunch of rows at once instead of element by element reduces the network traffic substantially and increases the performance at the cost of some extra memory usage for local caching. And the best thing is that the ADO rowsets can be mapped to ODBC cursor sets if the ODBC driver supports cursor sets and the ADO ODBC bridge does that transparently for you. Accessing ODBC directly you could also use cursor sets, but the API for doing that is really not for the faint hearted. ADO rowsets in comparison are very simple to use.
Try to read a bit about ADO database query optimizations on the web to get an idea of the techniques used and they usually can be quite simply translated to ADO methods as used in the Database Connectivity Toolkit or any of the other ADO based toolkits out there.

Leave out specified columns when making source ODBC connection to Access?

Hello,
I have question. I am making Non Oracle ODBC connection to Access file and then of course the Import of the tables from the Access file in OWB 10.2.0.1. Is it possible to choose and leave out (omit) some columns from the tables during this process? You may suggest that I should make connection to the whole table as it is and then leave out the unnecessary columns during mapping to the target table. But the problem is that these columns I would like to leave out are represented as LONG datatype which is not supported by Oracle (ORA-00997 problem). The result is that the tables with this datatype are "somehow imported" but it is not possibe to open them in Data Viewer (ORA-00997 message) and it is not possible to use them in Mapping editor (API8014 message). So, is it possible to choose only several columns from the Access table when making the ODBC connection to it and the Import of the tables to Non Oracle / ODBC / "eg. My Access" / Tables ?
Thanks a lot!
Jan

OK,
the first reply will be from me :)
Now I found a solution which is not so elegant but works for me.
My task was to make the connection and loading the data from Access to Oracle without any modification to the original source file (which is of course normal DW condition...).
I created another Access file linked to the original one (no copy, only linkage, it means every change to the original file are immediately seen in the second one). It was not still possible to make changes to the attributes in this link file, so i created views (in Access called queries) of all the tables and here I left out unnecessary columns.
Then I changed my ODBC connection link to the second file instead of first and tried to do it all the tasks in OWB... it works, I can see the data and I can use the views in mappings and so on...
but if any one knows the solution just for OWB as I asked before, please let me know!!!

Modify ODBC connections on a .wim File

I am trying to find out if it is possible to service a .WIM image file to add/edit an ODBC Connection via the DISM command line tool or some other method.
I created a .WIM file and captured the operating system using the ImageX Tool, and I am trying to figure out if there is a way to modify/edit/add an ODBC connection without having to load my base image, make the changes, sysprep, re-capture the image, and
re-add it the our Deployment Share.
I need to pass two user names and a password to the ODBC connection.

Hmmm, not sure if you already tried this but this may help...
First setup a script that makes the changes needed and then setup a task sequence to execute your script (that's assuming you can script your change and you are using task sequences when building your pcs)

Automatic jdbc odbc connection

we have an application that uses an access database. normally we have to go to control panel, go to the DataSources and manually setup the odbc connection. after this, our program connects to the database and works as planned. what we want to do is to automatically connect the database, like having an executable file that automatically installs a software. is there any way that would connect the database to the computer without manually performing all those tasks?

Use some other jdbc driver than jdbc-odbc driver. to find the driver list visit

Remote ODBC Connection - Citadel

Hi
I have a citadel 4 database running on a PC (PC-A). I wish to access the database from a different PC (PC-B) which has logos 4.5 installed but I am having difficulty getting the ODBC connection to work. The situation is as follows:
Using PC-A, I can access the database using ODBC but cannot access PC-A's database from PC-B using UNC nor mapped drives.
If I copy the database from PC-A to PC-B and change the ODBC data source properties on PC-B to point to the local database then I can access it.
I have no problems in browsing or creating files in the directory on PC-A that hosts the database.
The error that is being thrown up on PC-B is as attached. It would appear that the ODBC is fine as long as it's kept local and not over the network.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

"Does it happen just after you create the connection without no query execution?"
Yes, but I think technically, Access does a query just to setup the table so that is when it crashes the server.
The DSN is through a mapped network drive to the remote database path. It was not a valid MAX attached database. So It may have been this bastardized setup. Although the mapped drive had permissions, the machine did not have permissions that it would need to go through "MAX" because the machine was not a member of the domain, so automatic user authentications would be rejected.
I will try with a remote machine that is a domain member and would therefore pass all appropriate permissions using MAX to attach the data source. I will also try to recreate the crash using the domain machine.
I also had nicitdl5 hang tonight during a simple client hypertrend trace-back a few days of data. I could see where the data stopped being sent by the missing trace endpoints on the trend. After recovery on the server, I tried the exact same hypertrend trace-back and this time it was fine. Citadel still needs some stability work!!!
