[U2] ODBC: database does exist
Hi all, I was trying to use VSG to connect the Unidata database. I was able to connect Unidata demo database, but once I change to our test database that I was not able to connect. I have change ud_database to point to our test database. The error message is database doesn't exist. Did I miss anything?

RE: [U2] [UV] ODBC connections [ad]
Paul, Here is a document on how to configure Easysoft for UniVerse. In fact, It was first installed for UniVerse then UniData. Accessing ODBC Databases from IBM UniVerse/UniData http://www.easysoft.com/applications/ibm-universe-unidata/odbc.html You Can do a search on their website. Also, Here is a Success story on the U2UG website. See link and story below: Using the EasySoft ODBC-ODBC Bridge product, we are able to establish two-way connectivity between our Universe and Oracle databases. http://www.u2ug.org/index.php?module=pnForumfunc=viewtopictopic=127 Posted: 03.08.2004, 15:29 We have just successfully connected our Universe database with our Oracle database using Easysoft's ODBC-ODBC Bridge. To sum up what we have accomplished, so that we can add to your knowledge base: The requirement is to enable an ODBC connection between Universe and Oracle, both of which run on Unix. Either database must be able to initiate a transaction, i.e. Universe can connect to Oracle and Oracle can connect to Universe. We tried the Data Direct ODBC client for Unix to tie Universe to Oracle, but it served only the Universe BCI call to Oracle. It did not satisfy the need to connect to Universe from Oracle using Oracle's Heterogenous Gateway. Since Universe does not have an ODBC client that runs on Unix, we have to bounce the ODBC call from our Oracle database to an NT/2000 server in order to access the Universe ODBC client. EasySoft, in England, has a product they call an ODBC-ODBC Bridge. This is composed of an OOB server, which in our case runs on an NT/2000 box, and an OOB client, which can run from Windows, Unix or Linux. When an ODBC call is issued from the database, the OOB client on the local server calls the OOB server on the NT/2000 box, which then redirects the call to the ODBC client running on the NT/2000 server, which then proceeds to connect to the target database. Using the EasySoft ODBC-ODBC Bridge product, we are able to establish two-way connectivity between our Universe and Oracle databases. Licensing for the Easysoft ODBC-ODBC Bridge is based on the server. You can have as many clients as needed. They have a per server license plan, or you can get a site license if you need to have 4 or more servers on the same site. 8-) Hope this helps.

You can get this from http://www.easysoft.com http://www.easysoft.com/ I think from reading the OP Paul needs a Linux ODBC client that can speak to Universe on HPUX. If IBM only provide a windows based odbc client for Universe then he might have a problem here. A solution may be to use the JDBC driver provided by IBM as Janet suggested but use a odbc-jdbc bridge so the Oracle client can use ODBC. A quick google shows one from easysoft and one from Sun as part of the java stack. Plan B is to talk directly to the Universe jdbc driver of course but if you are going to be writing java code then consensus on the list is usually to use uniobjects directly.

RE: [U2] ODBC: database does exist
Have you also set up the UCI.CONFIG file on the client end to match the new ud_databases reference? There is a UCI.CONFIG editor supplied with the latest ODBC installs which should allow you to amend as needed.

Re: [U2] [UV] ODBC connections
Hi Easysoft do an odbc gateway so your oracle app connects to the gateway, which in turn connects to the universe odbc. It does not have to know what the end point DB is. Rgds Symeon.

I am investigating using transaction logging on our Universe DB.

RE: [U2] Who uses Transaction Logging in Universe ???
It's working fine. Pretty robust, a lot of the things I thought I'd have to script/configure/modify work right outta the box. Biggest gotcha - if any of your item sizes are larger than 500K, you'll have to run with larger log files, increasing your exposure. If you're not using transaction commits, it doesn't guarantee data integrity. There's a performance penalty, exacerbated by poorly sized files.
