I have a sample job that successfully extracts data from an Oracle database via the ODBC connector and I will mention that I manually added a column description for one of the columns in the Oracle table (I am also successful in extracting from an SQL Server db). I need to add table definitions, and I am attempting to use Import -> Table Definitions -> Start Connector Import Wizard. I receive a list of connectors to choose from including "ODBC Connector". When I choose it and press Next, it just hangs and eventually times out, displaying not able to connect. This behavior occurs for other connectors as well, i.e. Oracle.
This has worked in the past for us, and it has just started recently with this problem. We have tried using a user with more permissions, to no avail. Please note that the odbc connector is working fine to extract data, just not to import metadata. One of the team members performed a DataStage server restart but the problem persists.
Please advise.
Thanks,
David
The obvious question you must ask, when something is not longer working that used to work, is "what changed"? (And "nothing" is not the correct answer.) Have any patches been made, either to InfoSphere Information Server or to the operating system, for example? Your description has helped to eliminate certain possibilities, such as the Connector Access Service, it remains to do what Sherlock Holmes advised; eliminate the impossible then anything that remains is possible. Please do examine the logs, especially /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/InfoSphere/logs/server1/SystemOut.log, to determine whether any problem has been logged at the same time as the wizard has been unable to return a list of Connectors. You might also try to create and use a Connection within the InfoSphere Metadata Asset Manager tool.

Edit: so we never obtained the answer, instead we tried it with the server and client on the same PC. This morning I tried logging into the client and it would hang on "authenticating". So I shut everything down and went back to my life for a bit. This evenng I tried again, and now it says account or password incorrect. We tried recreating the accunt and password, same thing. We made a new account and password, same thing. Any help would be appreciated. Both on this new issue and the first one below (because eventually I want us both to be able to play on our own computers). TIA
My son and I have been following the guide. We did fine until we got to the part that says: "Open the acore_auth database and find the realmlist table. You need to edit the address field according to your needs". We have searched through everything in acore_auth in Heidi and we have not been able to find where the realmlist table is, let alone how to edit it. We are using one dedicated computer for the server, and we will join the server via our laptops. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The guide has been very detailed thus far, thank you. My son is almost done with his AS in Computer Programming, with an emphasis on game design, not networking.
Upon further inspection... we discovered our acore_auth database is exmpty. All the Acore_? databases are empty. What did we miss? Any ideas?
You have to edit the table realmlist of the acore_auth database and change the address field with the LAN address of the PC where the server is running:
Reading your question it sounds much that you are trying to run AC on Windows, so I recommend reading the installation guide here https://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/installation#azerothcore-classic-setup
Which also includes installation for macOS and Linux if you happen to use them.
In short to populate your database for the first time you need to run your Authserver and Worldserver applications which will automatically import the base and update files into your database. Then you go to acore_auth.realmlist and specify the address field to LAN IP (192.168.x.x) for the host PC to allow other PCs in your network to connect to it.
I've got a database on Google SQL that is used by our application running on kubernetes in GKE.
The mysql instance is running on 5.6, and I need to update it to 5.7, so I tried using the new migration jobs.
I've set up the connection profile and all the required permissions for the source DB, then followed the instructions to make a continuous migration.
The Job says it's running, migrating the ~450GB database. After about a day, it's still running, the storage used seems to have stopped growing, and the replication delay is at 0. The source database is not currently in use (That's why I'm unsing it to try this out before doing the same with a more important db).
According to this, if the dump phase is done, I should be able to promote the instance, but the promote button remains greyed out, and there's no way to check the running state (it only says "running", and I don't see any way to check if it's dumping, on CDC, or anything else).
The documentation seems a bit lacking, and I couldn't find anything by googling around. Has anyone been using this?
In short, my questions are:
Why can't I promote the instance?
and how can I check in what phase is the migration?
Here's a screencap of my job:

Thanks.
p.d.: the tag that the documentation says should be used in stackoverflow is: google-cloud-database-migration-service, which is too long and stackoverflow doesn't allow, so I used google-cloud-sql instead :/
I am seeing an issue like this, but possibly more frustrating. After a week for a 2TB database, storage resets to near-zero and the full dump restarts, without any errors or indication of what happened.
I am trying to figure out the best way to mitigate this situation. My project team consists of 3 developers each with their own instances of SSRS installed. We have 2 external SSRS servers that we must push updates to in order for the customer to review and for us to test and there is a 3rd external server coming online that will not be administered by us.
I have been trying to find a way to set the Shared Data Source to the current environment regardless of the system it is on. I had thought that just a common naming convention for the ReportServer address would be fine, but we've already found them to be inconsistent on the production and test servers. My next attempt was to specify an ODBC connection and let each person create a system DSN with connection information, but after an entire day of messing with it and continually getting errors, I'm not convinced it's the way to go. ( The most recent error being "The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application" ). I have tried going through Windows ODBC DSN msc to create the DSN and I have tried using Report Builder 3.0 to create one and neither seem to work.
So I guess at this point I just have to ask, is there a best practice for going about this? I'd like to do local development and testing via the "Run" button inside Report Builder and then I'd just like to upload the file to the Report Manager and have it work regardless of the URL for the Report Server.
If the properties (connectionstring, etc) for shared data sources don't change much on your servers, the following may work for you: in the properties for your project set OverwriteDataSources = False for the appropriate configurations. Set it to true only temporarily to change the data source, if needed.
That way any dev can safely deploy to the servers, without affecting the data source, even if (s)he locally changed something (e.g. the connection string) to match a personal environment.
Not an optimal solution, but relatively easy to set up.
I am working on the jabber chatting Applications with the use of XMPP server .
I want to make 2 user friend so I have to add roster with the use of mysql query.
I have make entry in two tables.(1) ofRoster (2)ofRosterGroups.
I make entry in both the table but its not working.
Is there anything where I am missing.
I can do this with the admin panel but i don't want to do that.
I think you are using openfire (those tables in SQL look like the openfire setup). If so, the table you have to edit is "ofGroupUser". To add a user to a group you need to do a sql insert into that table where the group name is the group you want to add the user to, the username is the user you are adding to the group and administrator is the flag of that user's authority (just use 0). An example insert would look like this:
INSERT INTO ofGroupUser VALUES("group name", "user", administrator);
However, as mentioned in the above post this is not a good method for doing this as it will not immediately affect the server. You must restart the server for these changes to take place because openfire (or whatever server you are using) probably only reads the database on start up. Once it caches everything, it will edit the database according to requests (like adding users or groups through the admin console), but will not read from it and your additions will not be seen until a server restart occurs.
Basically, doing manual sql inserts will produce the desired results, and, if you are just testing some functionality, will work just fine as long as you restart the server. If you are using openfire and need to do group administrative work in some way besides the web ui, I would look into using a different server. As far as I know, openfire isn't real great with administration outside of it's web ui. Here is a list of many open source xmpp servers. I'd recommend ejabberd (as mentioned above post) it has a very nice control tool called ejabberdctl with an available expansion module called mod_ctlextra (here is the man page for it which lists commands) that will allow you to do what I assume you are wanting. Then you don't have to worry about sql and restarting, just use their tool which is how it should be.
Also, on a side note, ejabberd is extremely efficient due to the nature of the language used to write it: Erlang. Great stuff.
Hope that helps!
Presumably you are using the odbc modules with ejabberd. The sql schema though defines two tables rostergroups and rosterusers, not the ones you mention in the question. In any case you should not update the tables directly, ejabberd keeps internal state and does not get notified of your changes.
The way to go is by actually having the users send the mutual subscriptions and accept them as per the rfc. Roster Item Exchange might also be useful.
Crystal Reports 9 seems to save the database connection information inside the report file itself. I am having an issue changing that connection. I work with a team of developers who all have their own copy of a database on the same server. We are using Trusted Connections to the db. When we need to make changes to a crystal report, and we click the lightning bolt to execute the report, Crystal does not ask for login information to the database. It actually ends up connecting to the last database that was used when the report was saved last.
We came up with 2 workarounds:
Take the database that crystal thinks it should connect to offline, then crystal will ask for login info.
Remove permissions for the username that is making the crystal change.
Neither of these are acceptable for us. Does anyone know how to remove the crystal connection from the report file?
We have tried Log Off Datasource Location and all of the settings in the Database Expert.
UPDATE
I still have not found a solution that fits my case. But our newest workaround is to load up a crystal report and just before you click the lightning bolt (to run report against the database), unplug your ethernet cable. Then when Crystal cannot find the database, plug the ethernet cable back in and it will allow you to choose a different database server and name.
You could use a .dsn datasource file in a user-specific location (i.e. the same path for every user, but a different physical location) and point Crystal Reports at that. For example, on everyone's C drive: C:\DSNs\db.dsn, or on a network drive that is mapped to a different location for each user.
You can get more info on .dsn files on MSDN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms710900(VS.85).aspx
We are using such way (using sql authentication however):
open report
database - log on server
database - set datasource location
refresh/preview
You may disable your [domain user] access to dev database, should help too :)
I am probably answering too late to have any chance at the bounty, but I'll offer an answer anyway.
If you are running the Crystal Report directly or with Crystal Enterprise then the only way I can think of to do this is by using a dsn as paulmorriss mentions. The drawback to this is that you'd be using ODBC which I believe is generally slower and thought of as outdated.
If you are using this in an application then you can simply change the database connection settings in code. Then, everyone can develop the report against their own test database and you can point it to the production database at runtime (assuming the developers database is up to date and contain the same fields as the production database).
To do this you should be able to use a function like the following:
private void SetDBLogonForReport(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ConnectionInfo connectionInfo, CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument reportDocument)
{
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Tables tables = reportDocument.Database.Tables;
foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table table in tables)
{
CrystalDecisions.Shared.TableLogOnInfo tableLogonInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
tableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
table.ApplyLogOnInfo(tableLogonInfo);
}
}
For this to work you need to pass in a ConnectionInfo object (which will contain all of your login information) and the report document to apply it to. Hope this helps.
EDIT - Another option, that I can't believe I haven't thought of until now, is that if you are using SQL Server you can make sure that all of the development databases names are the same, then use "." or "(local)" for the server and integrated security so that everyone effectively has the same connection info locally. I think this is probably the best way to go assuming that you can get all of the developers to use the same setup.
EDIT Again :)
After reading some of the comments on the other answers, I think I may have misunderstood the question. There is no reason that I can think of why you wouldn't be able to do the steps in Arvo's answer outside of not having rights to edit the report, but I'm assuming that you've been able to make other changes so I doubt that is it. I assumed that to get the report to work for each developer you had been doing these steps all along.
Yeah I agree Crystal Reports is a pain. I have ran into the same problem in the applications that I have built that I was forced to use it.
1- Log off the server(inside crystal right click the database and log-off)
2- Click on the database and change the database location
If you are logged on and change the database location it doesn't seem to stick
You can set the logon at runtime. See this question...
How do I change a Crystal Report's ODBC database connection at runtime?
If you used ODBC, each dev could point their DSN at the appropriate database. Essentially pushing the connection string into the DSN and out of the crystal report.
