Tableau Server Error connecting to ODBC driver - odbc

I can able to connect/fetch data from Tableau Desktop but in tableau server it is throwing below error with datasource, Datasource is build on BI ODBC driver. Access permission are assign granted to root folder Oracle_HOME.


Based on the error, it seems the the driver is not properly installed. Try downloading the Oracle driver from tableau drivers page. If its installed correctly please cross check on the configurations you have provided. If you are using the ODBC driver, have you created the DSN properly. The DSN needs to be configured properly with the server name and authorisations and once this is done you can use this DSN in tableau.
Once you have installed the driver properly
Click Connect to Data.
On the Connect page, click Other Databases (ODBC).
In the DSN drop-down list, select the name that you gave to your Oracle BI Server ODBC connection, and then click Connect.
Below is the link on how to connect with the BI Connector
How to Connect to Oracle BI Server with Tableau without the shortcomings of Oracle ODBC driver


By Default, tableau server pre-populates “Server Run As user” account to Network Service account (NT AUTHRITY\NetworkService). And this account does not have full permission.

Create ODBC connection to MariaDB (Localhost)

I have set up a webserver (OS Raspbian, Apache, MariaDB) and now I want to read the database into Qlik Sense (on my desktop PC).
If I want to create a new ODBC connection in Windows, I get the following error message:
"[ma-3.1.4] Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)"
I am using the "MariaDB ODBC 3.1 Driver". The specified user has all rights.
Do you have any idea where the error is? I am doing this for the first time. Please let me know if you are missing crucial information.
Greetings

Data source name is not appearing in System DSN for MS access ODBC connection

Can anyone help me with this?
I have to connect the oracle data source in MS access which has already connected with some HANA server. But now i want to connect it to oracle.
I have done the odbc connection in System DSN from Administrator tools. Connection successful. But, still i cannot see that DSN in System DSN.
Tried the following steps but still not working
1. Modified default value as "value not set" in regedit.
2. created System DSN through this "C:\windows\SysWOW64"
TIA

ODBC Connection to Informix Database

I am looking to connect Cisco UCCX database using ODBC Data Source Adminsitrator (32-bit). But when I connect I get below error.
I was able to connect successfully previously but recently have been getting this error.
See the screenshot of error:
IBM INFORMIX ODBC Setup

Try 123456 for uccxhruser.
And try to change host name to 'itsuccxpub01'
And leave option blank

Lotus Notes: Connection Error [Microsoft] [ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

In one of the Lotus Notes application which requires connection with external SQL DB, we have one user who is getting error message prompt because ODBC driver is not able to connect.
I did following checks:
1. User had permissions to EDIT registry HKLM-Software-ODBC
2. User is able to access the db server (i pinged server IP from user's machine)
3. Made sure that user had admin acces to computer.
This is how code works. The code first runs a VBscript which sets registry variables, then uses LotusScript with NSLXODBC to connect to the DB (ConnectTo method).
The only difference I found between users not having issue and those reporting issue is that USER REPORTING ISSUE had new laptop and it had windows 7 OS.
Lotus Notes Version: 6.5

The problem is likely in the ODBC setup then. The registry changes are supposed to set up the ODBC connection but I'd bet the same code doesn't work for Windows 7. Try manually creating the ODBC connection from that user's laptop.

File DSN for iSeries AS400 ODBC connection

How can I create a file dsn for connecting to an AS400 system using the iSeries ODBC driver?
The iSeries ODBC driver allows many settings to be configured. Where can I find a list of all properties that can be set in the file DSN?

Driver={iSeries Access ODBC Driver};System=server;Uid=user;Pwd=password;
Where server is the system to connect (either IP address or hostname), username and password.
You can have a .dsn file like this:
[ODBC]
DRIVER=iSeries Access ODBC Driver
System=server;
Uid=user;
Pwd=password;
Initial Catalog=library;

There is a good internet resource regarding connectionstrings of all flavors:
http://www.connectionstrings.com/
Here is the page for the AS400 ODBC drivers: http://www.connectionstrings.com/as-400
ODBC
IBM Client Access ODBC driver
Driver={Client Access ODBC Driver (32-bit)};System=my_system_name;
Uid=myUsername;Pwd=myPassword;
IBM iSeries Access ODBC driver
This driver is newer than the one above.
Driver={iSeries Access ODBC Driver};System=my_system_name;
Uid=myUsername;Pwd=myPassword;
IBM .Net Data Provider
Using the IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries namespace
DataSource=myServerAddress;UserID=myUsername;
Password=myPassword; DataCompression=True;
OLE DB, OleDbConnection
IBM Client Access OLE DB provider
Provider=IBMDA400;Data Source=MY_SYSTEM_NAME;
User Id=myUsername;Password=myPassword;
Where MY_SYSTEM_NAME is the name given to the system connection in OperationsNavigator
IBM Client Access OLE DB provider
Provider=IBMDA400;Data Source=MY_SYSTEM_NAME;User Id=myUsername;
Password=myPassword;Default Collection=MY_LIBRARY;
Where MY_SYSTEM_NAME is the name given to the System Connection, and MY_LIBRARY is the name given to the library in iSeries Navigator.

I just discovered you can create a file DSN using the ODCB Administration tool, for any type of ODBC driver.

Here is the IBM documentation on ODBC connection string parameters.

Here's a great detailed description of what each keyword is and how you can configure them. The discusion is for DSN-less connections, in applications, but is useful if you want to customize your file DSN. I found it more useful than the IBM documentation.
