May I know if RPD developed for OBIEE is reusable in OAC (Oracle Analytics Cloud) and OAS (Oracle Analytics Server) without any glitch or change? I was told by some experts that it is reusable , however wanted to cross validate if there is some required change or condition to be able to reuse.
Thanks
"Yee-ish". Depends on which version you're coming from and how badly things were done in the legacy version. I just gave a webinar on the subject:
Edit: Oracle doesn't allow direct linking, sorry.
First, go to the hub: https://go.oracle.com/analyticscommunity
From there search for "OAS Upgrade" or use the direct link. It will work whne you have a valid cookie.

Adding to above, we recently migrated from OBIEE12214 to OAS and there were only a few issues in Migration. About RPD there was no issue we were able to use it just like that. Notice Repository Versions between the OAS and OBIEE12214 They are the same 356!
A tip when you do the BAR file migration from 12214 in the RPD the username and password for the connection pools are lost. Best advise is open the 12C rpd and save it using OAS Admintool and then upload it to OAS.

I have database on apex.oracle.com and I want to make a connection to airflow.
This answer didnt help me: How to Connect Airflow to oracle database
How to find the sid of my database?
I googled after alot of search I found a answer. Which was giving an error.
I executed this
grant select on v_$sql to username;
This gives an error:
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
Please help me in complete detail if possible.
What should be entered in host name? I don't have any hosting platform. Should database need to be deployed or hostname can be found for a database created on apex.oracle
As far as I can tell (which doesn't have to be correct), give up. Database on apex.oracle.com isn't accessible from the outer world. As stated,
This site (apex.oracle.com) is intended only for the customer
evaluation of Oracle Application Express.
so - you should use it to test your Apex skills and nothing more. If you need to use a database, download and install your own copy - it is available on the Oracle Technology Network, free for evaluation purposes.
Or, consider contacting one of database hosting companies, if you want to access it on the Internet.
A quick and simple question: has anybody used the combination of Hibernate 2.1.7 and Oracle 11gR2 database? We have a legacy app that is using Hibernate 2.1.7 (which we are not planning to update at this point in time) and our database back-end is being upgraded to Oracle 11gR2. Is there any issues we need to be aware of?
Thanks!
With jdbc driver 11.1.0.6.0 you can connect to Oracle 11gR2. No problem.
A simple issue that you might run into is the case of username and passwords. In 11g this is case sensitive, before that version it was not case sensitive.
An other nice one is that accounts now default expire. Check that with your local dba.
You should test the app during the upgrade tests. Database features change, optimizer features change, so the app behaviour could change. Technically I see no reasons why it would not work but knowing some software projects .... Test it. In many cases it does not give any problems at all. A lot depends on the quality of the code. If your app's code is working because it is based on a bug in Oracle that is now solved, you will run into an issue.
We have a requirement to make our products work on Oracle as well as SQL Server (around which they were originally built). Unfortunately we don't have any in house Oracle development experience to speak of but as a senior dev it has fallen to me to lead the project. So far I have managed to make our app connect to an Oracle database (I'm using Oracle XE 11.2) by using the following connection string:
Data Source=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=VS010-ORA11GR1)(PORT=1523))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=DEVORA)));User Id=dbo;Password=dbo;
The reason we decided to use this type of connection string is because we do not want to rely on changing tnsnames.ora on every client machine. However, as you can see this specifies an Oracle user and associated password. We also need to provide the ability to use the equivalent of SQL Server integrated security.
According to the literature I have read, to do this I simply need to specify / as the user id and then omit the password portion (as this is ignored anyway for Windows authentication). I also created the user in Oracle, making sure it matched the Windows user, with the following snippets:
CREATE USER "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<user>" IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY;
GRANT CONNECT,RESOURCE TO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<user>";
I also checked that the sqlnet.ora file on my local machine which hosts the XE instance and my dev environment contained the line:
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
I understood that this would enable my app to connect to the Oracle database uing Windows Authentication. However what actually happens is that I get the following Oracle error message:
ORA-01005: null password given; logon denied
this doesn't make much sense because of course its null - it's supposed to be, according to the tutorials I've read.
The app targets .Net Framework 3.5, we are using the System.Data.OracleProvider and the actual connecting and so on is handled by Enterprise Library 5. Incidentally, I am aware of the deprecation of the OracleClient component but I just want this to work before I go into the extra complexities of changing providers.
Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? Have I chosen the wrong type of connection string? I apologise for any basic mistakes but I have always managed to avoid Oracle until now so my knowledge of it is close to zero.
Many thanks
I had the same problem and solved after adding this to conn. string:
Integrated Security=yes
To expand on the answer above by #Stikut. I tested this out with NHibernate 3.3.3.GA and it works.
user id=/;password=;Integrated Security=yes
I have CF9 Developer Edition installed on Mac OS X 10.6. I have set up datasources successfully to the localhosts MySQL. However, I have taken on a website which uses a Microsoft Access database: fine on the actual server, but to work on the site offline I need to set up the datasource to talk to the Access database.
For some reason, there is no Microsoft Access option in the Add Driver list when setting up a new datasource in the CF admin.
Any ideas on what I need to do would be most helpful.
There is no mac driver for Access available.
You can upconvert your database to the free edition of SQL Server. It's probably a good idea to convince your customer to migrate from Access to SQL Server anyways.
Whilst I'd very much second the comments above regarding getting off of Access if you can, there does appear to be a couple of type-4 (pure java) JDBC access drivers (although I've not used them)
http://www.hxtt.com/access.html
This article links to two drivers. Neither are free but both have evaluation periods on them which may get you through what you need to do.
http://www.razorsql.com/articles/ms_access_mac_os_x.html
You should be able to use these as custom JDBC datasources in ColdFusion.
let us know if you have any success.
There's proprietary read-only driver available.
So I'm coming from a position as a SQL Server developer who has written a little bit of PL/SQL way back in the mists of time but effectively knows nothing.
I've got a laptop, it's running Oracle. There is a database on the laptop which I need to have a look at and neither I, nor anyone else I can speak to, knows what it's called.
I have a couple of logins including one which alleges to be an Admin login.
What's the easiest way to browse the databases on the server and then connect to one?
I suspect that my assumptions about relationships between servers, users and databases from SQL Server are leading me astray but right now I can't get past idea that the client tools Oracle ships are someone's idea of a joke but I'm really not finding it that funny.
I'm pretty sure that it's version 9.2 that's running.
Happy to provide more information but right now I don't know where to start.
If this is windows look in the services. Each database will have a separate service. By default these are named OracleServiceDATABASENAME.
You may be able to connect with just this information on the default port 1521.
If that does not work open the properties of that service you can find the location of the oracle home. The default place to keep your connection information in the ORACLEHOME\network\admin\tnsnames.ora . Using the database name you can find your connect information in this file.
If this is linux/unix look in the /etc/oratab file. This should have the database name and oracle home listed. The default location of the tnsnames.ora file is the same as on windows.
Once you have this information you can use any of the tools mentioned above to connect to the database.
I don't know what qualifies as "easiest" in your book. I'm moderately fond of Aqua Data Studio (www.aquafold.com); it's nice & visual & pretty & all. It's also Not Cheap, but might be worth a 2-week evaluation to see if it does anything helpful for you. I'm not an expert on this, and I joined an Oracle-based group from a SQL Server background; that's the tool they were using at the time, and I've found it extremely usable. But that's just me. Good luck.
Check out Oracle SQL Developer. (It's free)
I'm not a SQL Server expert, but there are differences in terminology.
An Oracle "Instance" is a single entity of the Oracle software. A database is the actual logical data that the instance serves. You may have multiple instances of the Oracle database software running against one database (This is considered a RAC setup); or just one instance running against one database.
I'm assuming what you mean by database here is actually the different schemas/users/tablespaces/procedures etc. that you have within an Oracle database. In that case, Oracle SQL Developer should do the job nicely.
If you are able to utilize Enterprise Manager (this is a licensed option), it provides this functionality as well, though it is more cumbersome than SQL Developer IMHO. EM does provide many other tools for providing a general overview of your Oracle instance health, alerts, and many things used to help tune the performance of your Oracle instance.
In Windows, the following command lists running database services:
net start | findstr -i ora
In Unix/Linux, grepping for the Oracle SMON process will give you the names of running databases:
ps -ef | grep smon
