JDBC URL for Oracle XA client - oracle

Using the JDBC driver oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource, what is the correct format of the JDBC URL? The thin format of
jdbc:oracle:thin:#host:port:sid
does not work. WebSphere is reporting that the given url (which is otherwise correct) is invalid.
The test connection operation failed for data source Oracle MyDB (XA) on
server nodeagent at node MY_node with the following exception:
java.sql.SQLException: Invalid Oracle URL specifiedDSRA0010E: SQL State = 99999,
Error Code = 17,067. View JVM logs for further details.
There is nothing in the JVM logs.

Whether you use a XA Driver or not, the JDBC connection string is the same (and the format of your question is correct).

For me the issue resolved by adding alias name, username and password in JAAS - J2C authentication data. And also selecting this entry as Component-managed authentication alias.

In case this happens to anyone else. The problem went away after restarting websphere.

In my case, the problem went away when I change the authentication property of the jdbc resource reference from Authentication=Application to Authentication=Container

Had the same issue. Dont know about simple deployments, but on a two nodes cluster, I restarted the first node, and the connection started working on it (not on the second). Restarted the second node, and the connection started working there too.
So just restart the nodes (I also restarted the nodeAgents, but i don't know if it's necessary).

if you are doing using wsadmin command then you need to stop manager,stop node,start manager, sync node and then start node (I mean full sync). Hopefully this will resolve the issue. I dont know why but this resolves my issue.

apache nifi: hive closes connection and workflows stop working

I noticed some workflows stop working because the connection pool looses connection to hive, if I stop and then restart the connection pool anything work. How can I avoid this problem working only on hive? Does anybody faced this problem ?
This is a bug, DBCP currently assumes the connections are valid, so it can return such a connection the next time the processor runs, causing the error you are seeing.
I think HiveConnectionPool would benefit from the same fix in NIFI-2381, and perhaps other DBCP settings to ensure only valid connections are returned/borrowed. I have written NIFI-2927 to cover this.
Unfortunately I believe the only workaround at present is to restart NiFi.

How I can keep and restore JMSservers to their last known state after a reboot

I am trying to find if there is any parameter which will keep the Consumption Parameters as the previous workable state after a full restart of Weblogic Server.
I would like to restore JMSservers to their last known state after a reboot-restart.
I have tested and i have enabled the ConsumptionPaused to true in a JMSServer via wlst and I have done a full restart but after the restarting the ConsumptionPaused has changed to false.
Please for your help.
I think you can achieve this using the setConsumptionPausedAtStartup method on the JMSServerMBean mbean
Finally, I have found that with the parameter ConsumptionPausedAtStartup enabled, after the restart of Weblogic then all the osb resources under the destination of JMSServer will have the ConsumptionPaused as true in JMS Queue layer level and not in JMS Server layer.
If you will not disabled the parameter ConsumptionPausedAtStartup, then every time you will restart the server then all the queues under this JMSServer will be with ConsumptionPaused as true.

Mule Connect to remote flat files

I am new to Mule and I have been struggling with a simple issue for a while now. I am trying to connect to flat files (.MDB, .DBF) located on a remote desktop through my Mule application using the generic database connector of Mule. I have tried different things here:
I am using StelsDBF and StelsMDB drivers for the JDBC connectivity. I tried connecting directly using jdbc URL - jdbc:jstels:mdb:host/path
I have also tried to access through FTP by using FileZilla server on remote desktop and using jdbc URL in my app - jdbc:jstels:dbf:ftp://user:password#host:21/path
None of these seem to be working as I am always getting Connection exceptions. If anyone has tried this before, what is the best way to go about it? Connecting a remote flat file with Mule? Your response on this will be greatly appreciated!
If you want to load the contents of the file inside a Mule flow you should use the file or FTP connector, i don't know for sure about your JDBC option.
With the File connector you can access local files (files on the server where mule is running), you could try to mount the folders as a share.
Or run an FTP server like you already tried, that should work.
There is probably an error in your syntax / connection.
Please paste the complete XML of your Mule flow so we can see what you are trying to do.
Your usecase is still not really clear to me, are you really planning to use http to trigger the DB everytime? Anyway did you try putting the file on a local path and use that path in your database url. Here is someone that says he had it working, he created a separate bean.
http://forums.mulesoft.com/questions/6422/setting_property_dynamically_on_jdbcdatasource.html
I think a local path is maybe possible and it's better to test that first.
Also take note of how to refer to a file path, look at the examples for the file connector: https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-user-guide/v/3.7/file-transport-reference#namespace-and-syntax
If you manage to get it working and you can use the path directly in the JDBC url, you should have a look at the poll scope.
https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-user-guide/v/3.7/poll-reference
You can use your DB connector as an inbound endpoint when wrapped in a poll scope.
I experienced the same issue when connect to Microsoft Access Database (*.mdb, *.accdb) using Mule Database Connector. After further investigation, it's solved by installing Microsoft Access Database Engine
Another issue, I couldn't pass parameter to construct a query as same as I do for other databases. e.g.: SELECT * FROM emplcopy WHERE id = #[payload.id]
To solve this issue:
I changed the Query type from Parameterized into Dynamic.
I generated the query inside Set Payload transformer (generate the query in form of String, e.g.: SELECT * FROM emplcopy WHERE id = '1').
Finally, put it into the Dynamic query area: #[payload]

How do I prevent a database call from hanging in jdbcTemplate.query when the database is not available?

I am using the Spring JDBC template and a BoneCP Connection Pool. When I purposely set the JDBC URL to an invalid value (to test how my system works on failed database connectivity), it throws an UnknownHostException on server start-up, but the server continues to start. When I submit a request, the jdbcTemplate.query(sql) method hangs. What is a good way to handle this so the system doesn't hang in jdbcTemplate.query(sql)?
This scenario is possible if the database is down due to network connectivity issues. I tried to play around with the idleMaxAgeInSeconds and maxConnectionAgeInSeconds values; I set them both to 10, but the code still hangs in jdbcTemplate.query().
I'm not sure I understand your question, but it seems to me either you don't want the server to start if the exception occurs, or you want to set a static variable that checks if the database is on before trying to contact it (no UnknownHostException when initializing jdbc).
Maybe this points you towards your answer:

good luck!

tns not resolving correctly through webservice

I realise there are some similar questions on here already but I couldn't see one that matched my problem so I'm afraid I had to ask a new question.
I have a webservice running on a server, which is throwing a ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified" error. However when I log onto the said server i am able to tnsping the entry successfully, and connect to it via sqlplus, but not through the webservice.
If anyone has any suggestions as to things to look for then I would greatly appreciate it.
Cheers
Some other things to look at include:
If you're using a service name instead of SID, are you specifying the entire service name?
If you're using the ORACLE_SID environmental variable, check the case (mydb vs MYDB)
Check for a sqlnet.log file
If you're using a username/password#SID connect string, you may need to quote your password if it contains special characters (like an # symbol).
The webservice can't find tnsnames.ora which usually means that you didn't set up Oracle's environment properly when starting the process. This usually means you didn't source oraenv.sh in the shell script which starts it.
So your interactive login works - what is different between your interactive login and the user that runs your web service?
Are they the same user? If not then you will need to update some of your configs in order to make the Oracle client files available to the webservice.
Details like Operating System, Oracle Version, etc are always a help.
