• ORA-28500 when you access an Excel file

  Hello
  
  I'm getting the dreaded ORA-28500 "optional not implemented" when you try to access an Excel file via ODBC HS. This is a bug in 11.1.0.6 (6701400), however my flavor is 11.1.0.7 fully patched. Because I'm trying to use the OLAP on Windows XP 32, I installed version 11.1.0.6 and applied the patches 6890831 and 7682184, as recommend it on [this page | http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/olap/collateral/olap_certification.html], without as far as I can tell error. This should have fixed the problem with dg4odbc according to the bug page, but when now trying to access an Excel spreadsheet I get the exact same message:
  

  SQL> select * from "International$"@refdata;
  select * from "International$"@refdata
                *
  ERROR at line 1:
  ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
  [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver]Optional feature not implemented
  ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from REFDATA

  Is it possible that the patch do not go as planned? Or the second patch to restore the old behavior? I am really lost at what to do now.
  
  Thanks for your help,
  Chris

  Hi Chris,

  The problem is really fixed in 11.1.0.7 However you must change this setting:
  HS_FDS_SUPPORT_STATISTICS = FALSE

  11.1.0.6, the default value of HS_FDS_SUPPORT_STATISTICS is set to 'TRUE '.
  even if the trace files see the value is set to "FALSE".
  In 11.1.0.7 is always 'TRUE' by default, but the trace files now show that
  value.
  Use DG4ODBC with Excel, requires that the value "false".

  I hope this helps you

  Kind regards

• Having trouble getting an Excel file table

  This will probably be a very stupid question, but I could hurt trying to get a table 2D from an Excel file? The file contains two columns of data that I want as a 2D array (or two tables 1 d) and after having tried a number of things I don't get anything up on top of my chart. The attached VI is a work in progress and has been hashed together some other work (it will be used to control scanning mirrors).

  Thanks in advance,

  Ben

  Hi Ben,

  I found an article in the Knowledge Base that relates to your specific problem. I linked it below.

  Reading Microsof Excel in LabVIEW digital data

  After you follow the steps in the KB, I changed the file to a text (.txt) file and was then able to read the data successfully and it draw on the XY graph using a modified version of your code that contains only the item file IO. If you make changes to your data file and then reference in the amended VI that I have attached, this will help to illustrate how you can view your data in LV

  I hope this helps.

  Best regards

• Trying to get an audio file in my InDesign document

  I placed a file audio mp3 in my paper, and when I select it appears in the media panel where I can play.

  But when I export the document (choose "Adobe PDF (Interactive)" in the format box), the audio file is not displayed on the page. Also, when I try to use the "Preview" Panel, there isn't an overview.

  I looked around adobe site and the net for a solution, but so far nothing yet. Does anyone have any suggestions?

  Had the same problem. Then I realized that I needed to open PDF Acrobat Reader w! Everything was there, including the audio file. From the opening with preview (on mac), there was no audio file, but when I went to Acrobat, here. It's a universe centered on Adobe.

• How to: same excel file, same computer, different user accounts.

  I'm trying to access a single Excel file from the accounts of different users on the same computer.  I tried to share the Excel file, no luck.  I studied with a group residential, but which seems to be for different computers on a network home.  It comes from the same computer, the same Excel file with multiple user access.  Help

  Thanks for your help.  I tried to implement your suggestion, and most of the time, it worked.

  I followed the path OS (C> users > Public > Public Documents and was able to copy the document it.)

  I have it pinned to the taskbar and managed to get it back and make & save changes.

  When I copied it initially the path mentioned previously it had an identical copy in the following path: > libraries > Documents > Public Documents.

  Unfortunately, when I used the button "Save" it would save the file to the location of a second, but the pinned file would go to the original OS (C... way, then recover the original unedited version.)  It took me a while to understand this.

  If I do something wrong and you have any other advice, I'd appreciate it.  But, for now, this issue has been resolved and I will so indicate.

  Thank you once again

• I'm trying to convert a pdf file to an excel file and I get a message saying that I am not connected to the internet, clearly I am connected.

  I bought the program to convert PDF files to Word, Excel, files etc.  I am logged in and try to convert a word file as an Excel file.  It shows that I am connected to my account, I guess, (it shows my name at the top) and I clicked the export file, choose the file to convert, click Excel in the box, to convert language was English, then click the Convert button blue.  It looked like it was working, then in seconds, said that I was not connected to the internet.  I tried to do this several times (on two different days) and get the same message, not connected to the internet.  I am connected to internet, I go to my browser and load anything.

• ORA-28545-error when trying to connect to a MSSQL DB

  Like many others, I came across problems trying to connect to a MSSQL-DB. I tried various things mentioned in the forum, but nothing helped.

  I did the following:

  On Windows INFORDBSERVER02 servers where our Oracle11-Installation is hosted, I installed the software bridge in a different location.

  During installation, I decided to use the port 1531 for the listener, and then asked me about the connection parameters to our MSSQL Server:

  Our database is located on the 'profileserver02' server and the DB is called 'profile', but there was an entrance third (for me unknown) and I gave him the same value

  as the name of the server.

  The listener has started and there was a listener.ora with the following entries:

  LISTENER_PROFILE =

  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =

  (DESCRIPTION =

  (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = INFORDBSERVER02.fmbb.local)(PORT = 1531))

  (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = CIP)(KEY = EXTPROC1531))

  )

  )

  ADR_BASE_LISTENER_PROFILE = D:\Ora_GW

  I then checked the initdg4msql.ora, which had entries

  HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = [profileserver02] / profileserver02/profile

  HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = OFF

  HS_FDS_RECOVERY_ACCOUNT = RECOVERY

  HS_FDS_RECOVERY_PWD = RECOVERY

  On the server where I want to get access, I've added an entry for the tnsnames.ora:

  dg4msql.INFORDBSERVER02 =

  (DESCRIPTION =

  (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = INFORDBSERVER02.fmbb.local)(PORT = 1531))

  (CONNECT_DATA =

  (SID = dg4msql)

  (GLOBAL_DBNAME = dg4msql.INFORDBSERVER02)

  )

  (HS = OK)

  )

  Finally, I created a link DB:

  CREATE DATABASE LINK PUBLIC profile02 CONNECT TO "anw' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' USING 'dg4msql.infordbserver02 '.

  I tried to access the DB in issueing of position

  Select * from dual@profile02

  I got the errormessage:

  Error: ORA-28545: Von Net8 bei der zu einem Fehler diagnostizierter agent connection

  Cannot retrieve the text of the message NETWORK/NCR 65535

  ORA-02063: before 2 lines von PROFILE02

  SQLState: 99999

  ErrorCode: 28545

  Position: 19

  I changed one line in the listener.ora, namely

  HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = //profile [profileserver02]

  that got rid of this third unknown parameter, but nothing has changed...

  I tried to use the listener.ora.sample in the dg4msql directory

  LISTENER =

  (ADDRESS_LIST =

  (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tcp (PORT = 1531))(HOST=localhost))

  )

  SID_LIST_LISTENER =

  (SID_LIST =

  (SID_DESC =

  (SID_NAME = dg4msql)

  (ORACLE_HOME = D:\Ora_GW)

  (PROGRAM = dg4msql)

  )

  )

  #CONNECT_TIMEOUT_LISTENER = 0

  but then the listener has not yet started.

  Any tips?

  For the first listener that you posted you do not have a section of SID. So he won't be able to lay a bridge. In addition, it would be easier when you use the earpiece of the spawn House door entrance to the gateway process o gateway.

  So put a listener.ora file at your home, gateway network\admin with this content:

  LISTENER =

  (ADDRESS_LIST =

  (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tcp (PORT = 1531))(HOST=localhost))

  )

  SID_LIST_LISTENER =

  (SID_LIST =

  (SID_DESC =

  (SID_NAME = dg4msql)

  (ORACLE_HOME = D:\Ora_GW)

  (PROGRAM = dg4msql)

  )

  )

  Then stop the LISTENER_PROFILE listener, open a DOS window and correctly set the ORACLE_HOME. Change to D:\Ora_GW\bin and start the listener using lsnrctl start.

  What I don't understand is your comment:

  "

  I changed one line in the listener.ora, namely

  HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = //profile [profileserver02] '.

  I assume you are talking about initdg4msql.ora...

  So let's just check the link if it works...

  If not, please provide a status of Auditor for the listener of the entry door and an exit of tnsping from home using "tnsping dg4msql.INFORDBSERVER02" database Oracle

• How to get data from an Excel file exist using report generation tools

  I try to use the Excel vi get the data of the report generation tool, but I can't understand how to activate a path can be explored in the right type for the VI.  I tried to use the new Report.vi, but this does not work unless you use a template.  It will not open an existing excel file and make an open report to extract data from.

  Essentially, I have a bunch of excel files that have data in them, and I want a VI allows to analyze the data.  I'm going to pull in all the data directly from the excel file so I don't have to reproscess them all in text so I can use the more standard datasheet live but to convert even the excel file programtically in labview I still need to be able to open the excel file and get the data?

  I found my problem.  It turns out that only not to have had a problem with the tool box new report vi.  I had accidentally wired an input control of path of folder instead of an input control of path of file to it.  Changing the file type took care of her and I was able to access excel files, I tried using the new report VI to extract the file, and Excel Get Data to extract the data.

• Whenever I open an Excel file, I get a pop for Windows Installer

  Original title: Windows Installer

  Every time I open an existing Excel file, Windows Installer opens first, there is a significant delay and opens the Excel file. What is the solution to get out of the process of opening Excel from Windows Installer files? I don't see Windows Setup in the control panel so I can't remove it.

  Thank you

  Hi Phil,

  Windows Installer tries to configure excel on your system.

  Click Start-> settings-> Control Panel-> Add/Remove Programs-> Microsoft office-> change-> add/remove component-> select excel, then click on run from my computer.

  Once its finished installation-> start excel from start-> programs-> excel (or in Microsoft office-> Excel).

  Let the full installation. Close excel and open your files.

  I hope this helps.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

  ===========================================

  Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however don't forget to check your antivirus
  programs, the main drivers and BIOS update and also solve the problems with the cleanboot method
  first.
