Select Clustered DSN. Oracle Fusion Middleware Online Documentation Library

10-8 Oracle Fusion Middleware Integrators Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 1. Log on as a separate telnet session. 2. Open the odbc.ini file for editing. You can find this file at: ORACLE_INSTANCE bifoundationOracleBIApplicationcoreapplicationsetupodbc.ini 3. In the section [ODBC Data Sources], add the new data source name you want to create and define it as an Oracle BI Server data source. For example: [ODBC Data Sources] my_new_dsn = Oracle BI Server 4. Add a section for the new DSN and provide parameters as follows: [my_new_dsn] Driver = ORACLE_HOMEbifoundationserverbincall_interface.library_suffix ServerMachine = local Port = bi_server_port_number ForwardOnlyCursor = No SelectPhysical = No Regional = Yes Note the following: ■ For call_interface, enter nqsodbc for ODBC35 the default, or nqsodbc20 for ODBC20. ■ For library_suffix, use the library suffix appropriate for your operating system. For example, use .so for Linux, Solaris, or AIX, or use .sl for HP-UX. ■ For Port, enter the Oracle BI Server port number. Do not provide this option if you want this data source to connect to clustered Oracle BI Servers. You can find information about the Oracle BI Server port number on the Availability tab of the Capacity Management page in Fusion Middleware Control. ■ Set ForwardOnlyCursor to Yes to change the ODBC cursor from its default scrollable mode to forward only. ■ Set SelectPhysical to Yes to enable integrating clients to create a dedicated physical connection to the Oracle BI Server over which all SELECT queries are treated as SELECT_PHYSICAL queries. ■ Set Regional to Yes to display data in Date, Time, or DateTime format using the regional settings for your operating system, rather than the default format for the Oracle BI Server. 5. If you want this data source to connect to clustered Oracle BI Servers, supply the following additional parameters. Note that the primary CCS and secondary CCS should not be on the same computer. IsClusteredDSN=Yes PrimaryCCS=primary_cluster_controller_name PrimaryCCSPort=primary_cluster_controller_port_number SecondaryCCS=secondary_cluster_controller_name SecondaryCCSPort=secondary_cluster_controller_port_number Note the following: ■ If you want this data source to connect to a single Oracle BI Server, set IsClusteredDSN to No.
