• Class driver JDBC [com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver] didn't load for ODI

  Hello everyone,

  Windows Server 2008, Enterprise Edition (SP1)

  Try to create data for MS SQL Server (IP = 192.168.10.7) (IP = 192.168.10.11) ODI. During the installation of ODI 'JavaEE' box was DISABLED , so no weblogic is used.

  1. choose "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver" as an oiption for JDBC driver field

  2. learn the JDBC Url like "jdbc:sqlserver://192.168.10.7:1433; databaseName = TEST"OR just"jdbc:sqlserver://192.168.10.7 ".

  Hello

  The error indicates its not able to find the right driver for MS SQL server.

  What version of MS SQL server you use?

  Try the Type 4 driver. (Copy sqljdbc4.jar in your location agent\drivers & restart agent) If you have MS SQL Server 2008

  You can get it here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=11774

  This is not the right approach, even if it works. Why?

  1. If tomorrow you need to work with Hbase, do you also follow the same thing?

  2 much booty pots related to each other and it is not advisable to all copy them into the folder of the agent.

  3. you're going to mess after copying all the pots in the record of the agent.

  Instead, add the lib path to the additional_path file. This file is in the home directory of the user if his linux machine.

  For example:

  cat /home/oracle/.odi/userlib/additional_path

  See that I added a point here.

  If it's windows, see

  C:\Users\CURRENT_USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\odi\oracledi\userlib\additional_path.txt

• Cman is not like the thin driver Jdbc connection strings, it?

  Hello

  I use Oracle connection Mgr 11.2 to filter my clients access to data bases.

  I configured and allowed a PC to connect to a certain database and when

  using SQL * more or this client Toad, passing through cman, it works fine.

  But now the same guy installed SQL Developer, and it seems * impossible *.

  to make connections through my server cman, they routinely get rejected

  with

  ORA-12529, TNS: connect rejected based on the current filter rules

  If I try to go through the login option of TNS (who works with

  sqlplus...) or through advanced = > and then "JDBC: thin @ < complete block of TNS > '!

  (using "basic" does not seem possible because it only allows to specify the name of the host, port, and SID...)

  Has anyone ever encountered this problem before? How does SQL Developer gets rejected

  even when you use the option of TNS, which also works fine with sqlplus/Toad?

  And is it possible to have a Jdbc thin connection string access via a configuration cman?

  Thank you very much in advance for any advice...

  Kind regards

  SEB

  
  

  Not a familiar topic for me, but I came across a note in the developer's Guide to the JDBC and the reference, Advanced Topics, on the definition of AUTHENTICATION_LEVEL = 0 in the cman_profile of the cman.ora file entry for when JDBC Thin is currently in use.  Don't know if with the help of old 10g doc is valid here, but I guess that he check could not not bad:

  23 advanced subjects

  In turn, since this user has a customer Oracle installed on the PC and use SQL * Plus, you can try the driver JDBC OCI/thickness.  Select thickness OIC via...

  Tools > Preferences > Datatbase > advanced > use OIC/thickness box

  In addition, for SQL Developer 4.0.x includes the Advanced preferences, this to point to a specific Oracle client installation...

  Checkbox use Oracle Client

  Configure...

  Hope this helps,

• Help to install the new driver JDBC on LINUX

  Hello
  
  Today, I downloaded the new driver JDBC in SQL Server 2005 on my Linux server. The path to the driver .jar file is root/sqljdbc_1.0/enu/sqljdbc.jar. I placed this way in my Adminstrator CF page "Java and JVM" class path field I restarted the application server, but whenever I try to set up a dsn connection I get this error message. (Note: I have set the dsn already to this instance of SQL Server 2005 so the communication is there, but I prefer to use this new driver)
  
  Connection verification failed for data source: dsnTestDB
  java.sql.SQLException: no suitable driver available for dsnTestDB, please don't check the configuration in the file resources, pilot error: null
  The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: no suitable driver available for dsnTestDB please don't check the configuration in the file resources, pilot error: null
  
  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  
  Thank you

  Try to place the jar file in the {cfmx-root} / runtime/servers/lib (create if not already there) directory if you have the server to install or {jrun-root} / servers/lib if you have the MultiServer or j2ee install on JRun. Restart the background of Coldfusion server.

• How to install the driver jdbc for sql server 2005 in sql developer 4.0?

  
  Hallo all

  I need to access the tables in a MS SQL Server 2005 database.

  The JDBC driver is possible.

  How to install this driver?

  Thanks a lot for your messages.

  Hello

  It's the documentation-

  Database: third-party JDBC Drivers

  The component drivers JDBC third party specifies drivers to use for connections to the third-party databases (non-Oracle), such as IBM DB2, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server. (You don't need to add a driver for connections to Microsoft Access databases.) To add a driver, click Add an entry and select the path for the driver:

  For Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server: jtds - 1.2.jar, which is included in the download of jtds - 1.2 - dist.zip

  To find a specific third-party driver, visit the appropriate site (for example, http://www.mysql.com for MySQL Connector/J JDBC driver for MySQL, http://jtds.sourceforge.net/ for the for Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase Adaptive Server jTDS driver, or search for Teradata JDBC driver to http://www.teradata.com/ ). For MySQL, use the driver in MySQL 5.0 not 5.1 or a later version with the version of SQL Developer 1.5.

  You must specify a third-party driver or install a driver using the check for updates feature before you can create a connection to a database to third parties of the associated type. (See the tabs to create connections to the databases of third parties in the Create/Edit/Select database connection dialog box).

  Alternative:

  As an alternative to the use of this preference, you can click Help, and then search for the updates install the for Microsoft SQL Server JTDS JDBC driver and the driver of JDBE of MySQL as extensions.

  Kind regards

• Driver JDBC SQL Server 2005 MS v1.1 and integrated authentication

  In our setup we have MX 7 Standard running on Windows Server 2003 with SQL Server 2005 for a back-end database. The CF Server service runs under a specific domain account. Using the JDBC Microsoft SQL Server v1.1 driver, I am able to connect to the database by using a sql server connection and specifying the password. I would like to be able to use integrated security to connect to the DB, but I don't seem to be able to specify integrated security. Instead of the connection an error message on the username "is not valid.
  
  Someone managed to connect to SQL Server 2005 with integrated security?

  To answer my own question...

  Here's how I got it work.
  1 set the cf service log in as domain user
  2. take the sqljdbc.jar and sqljdbc_auth.dll files and place them in \runtime\lib
  3 Add the java.library.path in the following of this directory
  4. configure data source with the following parameters
  URL JDBC: SqlServer: / /; databaseName =; integratedSecurity = true;
  Driver class: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
  Driver name: SQLServerDriver
  Username: empty
  Password: empty

  Data sources, check and work correctly. I also update the drivers from datadirect as well so I don't know if that had anything to do with it either.

• Satellite A200 - question format HARD drive after replacing

  Hello

  I know this is probably a stupid question to ask as I am not that great with computers.
  I have problems with my hard drive from my Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop.

  Now, when I took it out it was a 120 GB so I bought another Seagate 320 GB hard drive to replace it.
  Now can I just put it back in or do I have to format the known brand hard drive.

  So if anyone can help it would be much appreciated

  Thank you

  Hello

  New HARD drive should be recognized by the laptop properly.
  If you purchased a HARD drive 2.5 SATA, so I put t see serious reasons why this HARD drive is not working.

  Once the HARD drive has been replaced, boot from the Toshiba Recovery disk and follow the instructions on the screen. The HARD drive must be formatted during the installation procedure
  That article should work

• Question about hard drive Partitions

  My Satellite C650 bought recently has two equal size partitions - C (called Windows) and D (known as data). However, my "Users" folder and so all my data is stored on the C drive (with all programs) while the D drive and has only the HDD Recovery inside folder. This means that I have access to half of my total disk space.

  How to move my file 'Users' the D drive - and if I do - it somehow it is interfering with the HARD drive folder?
  This can be as simple as move the users folder - but I'm not sure if the installation of 'Libraries' or all Office programs will always seek on the C drive for data.

  I would like some advice before as I did try.

  >... While the D drive has only the HDD Recovery inside folder. This means that I have access to half of my total disk space.
  That s not the truth. You can use the free space on the second partition. HDDrecovery is just a folder where recovery image is saved. You can enter the folder properties and set it as invisible and you will see it.

  This recovery is important for two things:
  -for the creation of recovery DVDs
  -for HARD drive recovery procedure.

  Generally speaking, if you have created recovery DVD (highly recommended) you can delete this folder, but after doing this, you will not be able to create recovery DVDs or of the installation of recovery disk (F8 at startup).

  You have to understand how it works?
  If you have any other questions please let me know.

• Portege R700-1hd: Questions about HARD drive replacement and passwords

  I have a 1hd R700 with 320 GB HARD drive in stock. I want to upgrade it to 500 GB. This update should be pretty simple, cloning from the old to the new.

  However, I was wondering about the HARD drive password / finger.
  My HARD drive it configured to use a fingerprint/password on boot - I guess that it is involved in the BIOS and the drive itself, but I'm not exactly sure how.
  I think the HARD drive itself is locked, it is not a Windows or BIOS password.

  If I change the HARD drive will still be able to use startup disk HARD password/fingerprint? Are there requirements for material of HARD drive I need to consider before buying new HARD drive? As should be a specific type of HARD drive to work with password disk HARD/fingerprint digital?

  Thank you

  Hi bullerd,

  The HARD drive password is stored on the HARD drive so when you replace the HARD drive you must set a new password of HDD in BIOS. The password is not stored in the BIOS. In addition fingerprints can also be stored on the HARD drive or let s say fingerprint digital software but all of the operating system must be installed after Exchange HARD drive so it s new problem.

  So the two passwords you mentioned are stored on the HARD drive so it s no problem to swap the HARD drive. :)

• Question about hard drive storage on Satellite Pro L40

  I have a Satellite Pro L40. Memory hard drive seems to be divided into two (about 35 GB each) under Vista C and e of data.
  Vista C is almost full. How can I use/access the E-data memory?

  Hi Bart

  Please don't get me wrong, but your question is really strange. I mean after reading your post, I'm really interested in your PC knowledge and how long you use your laptop.

  You want to know is basic stuff and must be learned first when you start using computers.
  When you have the time to try to get some book on WXP or Vista and all know about operating systems and how to use them.

  Open Windows Explorer, and you will have direct access to the second partition. You can move files from C to D, or save all data directly on the D partition.

  Google a bit. You can find many Web pages on basic stuff to the use of operating system.

• Satellite M70-192 - question of HARD drive replacement

  Hello...

  It's just my first time to ask for help in this forum... and besides, in any forum on the whole wide net.
  So, sorry if am don't do this right... that's...

  My brother bought a laptop (Toshiba Satellite M70 - 192 psm71e-01k00rar) of the Kuwait around 2006. A few months ago we started hearing "noise noise deaf deaf" - ing sound inside the camera and the screen is just deleted (there was an error message that is encrypted but I wasn't able to note it). I was able to boot from the DVD or USB drive. So I thought that maybe the hard drive has been the only problem.

  I put in a new HARD drive (a 320 GB western digital scorpio wd3200bevt) and started to reinstall the system (I forgot which of the 2 supplied Toshiba cd I inserted first - media cd or the windows xp CD-ROM) but in the middle of installing the keyboard area was so hot that I unplugged / stop the laptop immediately.

  After that, the HARD drive has become invisible to any Linux or rescue CD or utility of HARD drive that I tried to boot from... (fortunately?) The said HDD vendor as the HARD wd scorpio drive + really + defective and they replaced...

  * now the questions: * I discovered that the rated current for the HARD drive (60 GB) provided originally for the Toshiba M70 is a little bigger than the new wd scorpio *(.55 amp) *. Could this be the reason why the 1st WD Scorpion got "fried"?
  Is it a SATA1 - SATA2 question?
  How can I _properly_ replace/upgrade our laptop HARD drive?

  Please note that before I bought the new HARD drive, I ve read somewhere in the "net I could use a disk sata2 on a sata1 controller, etc. + * pls help!" * +

  Toshiba services are simply too expensive for me right now if will send it (cell phone) in a licensed shop. Why I'm in DIY mode that s. I don't think I can afford an another fried Scorpion!

  Thank you!
  yours,
  TAC

  > I discovered that the rated current for the HARD drive (60 GB) provided originally for the Toshiba M70 is a little bigger than the new wd Scorpion (.55 MPA). Could this be the reason why the 1st WD Scorpion got "fried"?

  I don t think that a larger and faster HARD drive might be the reason for the higher internal temperature.
  You said that you have heard and his strange "noise noise deaf deaf." Such sound could be created by the defective cooling module. A defective module could be responsible for the highest internal temperature

  > Is it a SATA1 - SATA2 question?
  Here's your second thread:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums//message.jspa?MessageID=150272
  You can see that the SATA2 is compatible to the bottom and the s SATA2 HARD drive would work with common controller SATA HDD.

  > How can I properly replace/upgrade our laptop HARD drive?
  Replacing the HARD drive is not difficult. I see that you have already found the HARD drive Bay and bought a HARD drive.
  In your case I recommend using the common SATA 2.5 HARD drive with 100 GB maybe 120 GB.

• Question about Diplay driver and upgrade - Satellite 5200 903 RAM

  Hello

  I ve got an old book of 5200-903 and I m lovin it. I installed the driver Nvidia Support Toshiba Download Page. But I can´t find any display driver again? I m only using the standard Windows Plug and Play Driver? Has anyone found a driver for the display for best results?

  Another question: I want to upgrade my RAM. For now I m using 2 x 256 MB DDR 266 Mhz CL 2.5. What is the maximum that supports the book? A tested person faster DDR RAM? As 333 MHz RAM?

  Thank you for having responded

  > I installed the driver Nvidia Support Toshiba Download Page. But I can´t find any display driver again?

  Sorry but I don't understand what's your problem now. On the Toshiba support page you can find the driver NVIDIA V 43.36 for WXP (listed for Satellite 5200 903). Am I wrong? If you have installed this driver for the graphics card must be properly recognized and listed in the Device Manager.

  So now, I have to ask you once again: what exactly is the problem with display driver?

  On RAM:
  Your laptop can handle with max of 1024 MB. You can use the module 2 x 512 MB. Module of 512 MB compatible a part PA3164U - 1 M 51 number.

  Good bye

• Satellite P100 - 160 PSPAAE: Question on the driver installation instructions

  Hello.

  I recently bought a P100-160 model PSPAAE with Vista pre-installed. Like many others, I had no choice with the OS and my experience so far has left me wanting to go back to XP.

  I found the page of appropriate support for the drivers (I guess I have to use the drivers for the PSPAA) and read the instruction sheet that comes with them. There are some questions I want answered before I start on this particular cliff.

  The guidelines mention the SD card Format utility, but I see no mention of one in the list of drivers. It is included in one of the other drivers or is it not found elsewhere?

  Why the Sun Java Runtime Environment is necessary?

  I guess if my machine has no Bluetooth or Infra-red that I didn't need to load the drivers.

  Thanks in advance if anyone is able to help.

  Kind regards

  John

  Hi John, I recently went through the same process and after a few attempts, settled on the following as a reasonable XP installation (I don't need all that other stuff):

  Satellite Pro P100 (PSPAEA)

  Chipset: Mobile Intel (r) 945 PM Express Chipset
  Memory controller: 82945 PM
  I/o Controller: Intel (r) 82801GBM i/o controller hub (ICH7M)

  What I installed...

  03 - display Driver
  04 chipset Driver
  05 - network - upgrade Ethernet driver
  06 - network wireless driver
  09 - sound Driver
  10 - driver CardBus controller with UltraMedia
  12 - modem Driver
  13 - modem region Select utility
  14 Bluetooth Stack
  15 - Bluetooth monitor
  17 Hotkey Utility
  21 - SD Secure Module
  22 - SD memory card format
  28. DVD-RAM driver software
  33 user manual
  TOSHIBA fingerprint digital-software (from Vista drivers)
  TOSHIBA-disk-Creater (from Vista drivers)

  What I do not installed...

  01 - Microsoft Updates (I used Windows Update to do this)
  02. Sun Java Runtime Environment
  07. customer Intel utility
  08 Atheros Client Utility
  11 - touch pad Driver
  16 - C - infrared driver
  18 YPP/power button Utility
  19 utilities
  20 - buttons
  23 - assist
  24 - ConfigFree
  25 - zoom utility
  26 PC Diagnostic Tool
  27 CD/DVD Drive Acoustic Silencer
  29 WinDVD Creator
  30 - RecordNow
  31 DLA
  32 - DVD player

  Note: for 05 - pilot network to install correctly, I had to upgrade the Device Manager ethernet controller.

  The numbers relate to roughly the original installation instructions. I do not pretend that it's the perfect installation, only one who appears to be stable and suitable for my purposes...

  With respect to the SD memory card Format driver, I found it somewhere, but I don't remember where (sorry). It has the following file name, even if once extracted (ToshibaSDMemoryCardFormat_v2100A.exe).

  Hope this helps and please post your results as it is good to share their experiences.
