SPD and external content type for Oracle - sharepoint-designer

I'm trying BCS in SharePoint designer 2010. Is it possible to create external content type for Oracle ? In the data source drop down I can see only ".NET Type" , "SQL Server" and "WCF Service" .

You could create a Web Service yourself which connects to your External System and use that using SharePoint Designer:
The company I work for has a tool called BCS Meta Man which will generate a .Net or Database model for you, it's a Visual Studio Extension:

You can use just the normal Visual Studio BCS Model Project to make the Model manually, but you'll probably notice very quickly that it's quite a steep learning curve:

Cannot find tREST_request and tREST_response components in Talend for Data Integration v 7.3.1.20200219_1130

I'm using Talend for Data Integration v 7.3.1.20200219_1130 and I want to use tREST_request and tREST_response as server side in order to convert an Excel file to XML file.
My problem is that I cannot find both components in ESB section, as described in Talend documentation, I looked also in "Palette Settings", there's only tRESTClient.
I'm wondering if this is a version problem (those components are omitted in this version) or those components are not avaible in free version?
You have to download Talend Open Studio for ESB in order to get those components.
I don't know why, but this version is not available anymore on talend website. You have to go to sourceforge to find it.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/talendesb/
With Talend Open Studio for ESB you can develop job to provide services (through tRestRequest/tRestResponse components, are SOAP components), as well as developing classic Talend Data Integration jobs.

Database first with EF6 SqlAnywhere provider in VS2017

Having already followed the advice in the SAP website documentation and installed the developer edition of SQLAnywhere 17, and also having manually run the installer for VS integration that is provided by this installation I still could not see any providers other than the MSSQL ones while creating an EF6 model in Visual Studio 2017.
I found this https://www.nuget.org/packages/Sap.Data.SQLAnywhere.EF6/17.0.7.3399
Does anyone know where to find documentation on how to use it? Nuget provides no links to documentation and does not list a repo.
I installed the package without incident and it appears in project references but it does not appear in the provider list when I try to create an EF model.
A request to the package author provoked this response:
Hi Peter,
For information and documentation go to:
https://sqlanywhere-forum.sap.com/
or with SyBase
http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.infocenter.dc01776.1604/doc/html/san1357754863708.html
Kind Regards, Erwin Bakels
While I appreciate the prompt response, the documentation link leads to information about doing another thing with a different version -- it's for code-first with EF4.3 while the library is for EF6 and I need database-first. To be fair to Erwin, I didn't explicitly tell him I wanted database-first, but it's still not a usable answer.
Further research suggests that changes in VS2017 prevent the installer from registering the provider correctly. This implies that until such time as SAP updates the installer to suit VS2017 there is no possibility of designer support for EF with SQL Anywhere.
I have confirmed with SAP support, that Sql Anywhere ADO.NET integration with Visual Studio is not supported in VS2017. You will have to use VS2015 or earlier.

I suggest you download the SQL Anywhere, developer edition. You will get all the files necessary to use EF.

How to Create connection on visual Studio 2008 Ado.Net Entity Data Model to Sql Server 2012

I want to create connection from visual studio 2008 to sql server 2012 by Ado.Net Entity data model,but I got this error at this photo support error
I tried to find a solution to this problem and I thought maybe OLEDB can be a solution but in this photo I want to choose .Net Framework Data Provider for OLEDB below to solve the problem by OLEDB but there is no selection of it. no selection of OLEDB
So please can you tell me how can I make connection vs2008 through ado.net or how I can select OLEDB because I need a web service to my smart device application. Because it is a smart device application I can only use VS2008 to develop. I am looking forward to hear from you. Thanks in advance.
You can develop the web service using any newer VS version, it is not tied to the Smart Device application in any way.

Creating a copy of an Assign to feild in Visual Studio Team Services (was TFS Online)

I am customizing a bug template in Visual Studio Team Services (was TFS Online), and I would like to add a new field called Required Information. but I would like it to be a drop down of the users that I can assign a TFS task to.
So I want a copy of the assign to dropdown.
Can this be done?
It can be done easily in on-premise TFS by modifying the process template. In VS Team Services, although you can customize work items, you cannot modify the process template directly.
Using identity (e.g. a user list) or custom pick-lists are not yet supported. The work to support those features is on-going and is targeted for the first half of 2016, per this blog.
