Installing DTP [message #3522] Wed, 26 October 2005 05:06 Go to next message

Hi,

Let me know if I should be using the newcomers' group for this query.

I have just installed DTP but I can't get it to connect to an Informix
database.

I've installed the jdbc drivers. I already have an app that connects to
the database so I've used parameters from here to set up the Eclipse
connection.

I'm using a jdbc url of the form shown below (gleaned from Informix docs)
jdbc:informix-sqli://123.45.67.89:1533/testDB:INFORMIXSERVER =myserver

When I test the connection I get the following error message
java.lang.RuntimeException: Ping failed!
at org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.ui.PingJob.run(PingJob.ja va:60)
at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:76)

I'd appreciate any advice on getting DTP working

Thanks

Chris

Hi Chris:

The DTP iteration build includes the connection framework and sample JDBC
connection profile as you have found. We're working on stabilizing these
components and adding functionality toward our M1 and M2 drops. Currently
I think it is best to consider these particular components as "disclosure"
and "review," since they were added more to give the community a chance to
understand what the framework and a sample connection profile looks like.
Even if you could connect at this time, there's little that could be done
beyond that -- the models are not integrated with the sample connection
profile and the Data Source Explorer is not in place (so you can't inspect
the connection for tables, stored procs, etc.). We are working on getting
this functionality in over the M1 and M2 time frames. Probably this is not
a very satisfying answer to your question, but it does reflect the current
DTP state and plans.

Having said this, however, we are also very interested in your results --
ideally I'd like to see the "Test Connection" succeed. Offhand I'm not
sure why it is failing, but we will take a look to see if there are
problems that can be isolated and fixed in the sort term, so at least that
level of functionality is demonstrable.

John Graham

Hello,
I try it, too, but i think that success 'test connection' is impossible
with current cvs (probably M1)
I debug connection and connection factory class JDBCConnectionFactory
have two method createConnection and both return null - it work nothing
There is problem with datatols cvs, too.I currently get next error
cvs checkout: cannot open
directory /home/datatools/org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity/attic:
Permission denied
cvs checkout: skipping directory org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity/attic

Peco,

Thank you for this further information. I will make the Connectivity team
aware of this, and we'll see what can/should be done in the near term.

Regarding the CVS "attic": we've moved the transitional plug-ins from the
root of Connectivity to this attic to make it easier for people to
evaluate CVS. I will check with the Web Master about why access is denied,
since you should be able to check out from this location if you want to
(The plug-ins in the attic might be removed from DTP completely or
refactored substantially, so I wouldn't pay too much attention to them at
the moment.)

Regards,
John Graham

This is permission on this directory (maybe subdirectory) only - cvs program
on your server can't access to this directory
change permission and leave old plugins - old plugins work (not too good,
but work)

Thanks

Peco,

The attic has been fixed, and you should now be able to access it.

Thanks for your reply. I realised, after digging around, that I'd probably
jumped in a little too early in this project life-cycle.

I have to say that I like what I've seen so far so I don't have a problem
with your response. I'll see if I can use web tools platform just for the
database connectivity in the meantime.

Regards

Chris
