Reports 11g fails when copy/past a text field - oracle11g

I have a problem in reports 11g that when working on a report if I try to copy/past any field (text, data even a line) reports crashes, is it a common problem or there's a problem with the installation.
Thanks

There is a MetaLink document - ID 1395965.1 - regarding this problem which states that the fix is to make sure that you install the 32-bit versions of the Oracle Fussion Middleware software rather than the 64-bit ones, even on 64-bit platform.
For more knowledge about the problem you can visit the following link.

Cannot find vpd.properties when running uninstall.cmd for EPM 11G R1 Uninstall

There was a similar question on this 5 years ago - however it did not seem to have any conclusion.
https://community.oracle.com/tech/apps-infra/discussion/4112075/epm-uninstall-not-working
I am attempting to uninstall cleanly EPMSystem 11G R1 (old EPM Essbase Foundation) and having issues.
I have looked at several Oracle Support articles for this - namely the following below - but these do not detail manual deletion to mitigate the error I am getting as they all seem to suggest running the uninstall.
How to Uninstall Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) (Doc ID 1265740.1)
Perform a Clean Uninstall of EPM 11.1.2 on Microsoft Windows (Doc ID 1140553.1)
The document DOC ID 1140553.1 suggests to use is not able to be found.
Going into the details - see attached screenshots.
It seems that the de-install has no concept of how the vpd.properties exists - even though it is definitely there in its folder/directory structure.
When attempting to run un-install via add/remove programs - it just runs the same .cmd and fails to execute.
I am aware Ora Central Inventory replaces vpd.properties (which defines the installed products) but in this case the jars seem to just want to see the vpd.properties (cannot open up the binary to see the location it seems to want vpd.properties to exist at).
Anyone see this issue before? I do not want to simply just delete the folders as that will mean I will need to also find all the registry keys etc that may be removed through clean uninstall.
If there is a manual process that works - willing to do it - but tried a lot of things to fix this error to no avail

Cannot install crystal report on WindowsServer2012 R2

Can any one give a link to download CrystalReport for WindowsServer2012 R2.
i have tried using this link "https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/Crystal+Reports%2C+Developer+for+Visual+Studio+Downloads" with SP24. But its not working. Can any one give a correct link ?
Lots of links on that page. Did you install the runtime link?
http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/crnetruntime/clickonce/CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_24.msi
http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/crnetruntime/clickonce/CRRuntime_64bit_13_0_24.msi
Also, try having the version match your local development version. (e.g. if you are developing using 13.0.23 locally, then install that runtime version on the server).
What error message are you seeing - there may be other reasons things are failing such as hard-coded report connection strings etc?

Entity Data Model Wizard Crash with Oracle Connection

I cannot get VS 2015 to create my EDMX file for an Oracle Connection.
I am using Visual Studio 2015 Update 3
I have installed the Oracle Developer Tools 12.1.0.2.4
I have installed Oracle Data Access and the following DLLs exist under \ client[user]\product\12.1.0\client\odp.net\bin
2.x\Oracle.DataAccess.dll version: 2.121.2.0 ODAC Release 4
4\Oracle.DataAccess.dll version: 4.121.2.0 ODAC Release 4
I am using the following assemblies
Oracle.ManagedDataAccess Version: 4.122.1.0
Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.EntityFramework Version: 6.122.1.0
* I believe both of these are version 12.2.1100 based on the folders in which they reside in the packages folder.
There are no connections defined in the Server Explorer
My steps are as follows:
Within the Solutions Explorer, Right click on project and select "Add" | "New Item..."
Select Data | ADO.NET Entity Data Model | Add
Select EF Designer from Database | Press Next
In the Entity Data Model Wizard:
Press New Connection... (I get an warning "Failed to find the default tnsnames.ora file." I ignore and press "OK"
With the Datasource as "Oracle Database (ODP.NET, Managed Driver)" I enter the credentials and specify the the other
connection parameters and press "Test Connection" which SUCCEEDS.
I press OK and am taken to the next page in the Entity Data Model Wizard
I include sensitive data in connection string and Press Next....
WIZARD SHUTS DOWN (crashes) - NO EDMX CREATED
Any assistance in helping me troubleshoot this would be greatly appreciated.
TIA - Xavier
Thanks to #Hong-vit pointing me in the right direction. I found the answer.
When you visit the download page for ODAC you're given a selection of version numbers.
In my case the top two were:
ODAC 12.2c Release 1 and Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio (12.2.0.1.0)
ODAC 12c Release 4 and Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio (12.1.0.2.4)
For me the top one wouldn't install. It would cut out during the installation process (thanks Oracle!) so I settled with the second one (12.1.0.2.4).
This meant that when I installed Oracle.ManagedDataAccess and Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.EntityFramework I had to select the correct version.
Not for me:
The one I needed
As you can see the version numbers (almost!) match up:
ODAC 12.2.0.1.0 = Oracle.ManagedDataAccess 12.2.1100
ODAC 12.1.0.2.4 = Oracle.ManagedDataAccess 12.1.24160719 (yay!)
I believe this is a failing on oracles behalf as it's not made clear despite their inclusion on a page long readme on which this doesn't feature. In additon the version numbers not quite being the same...but that's a rant for the blog.
I have the same bug. I fixed it successfully by follow this step:
On your project Right click -> Select Manage NuGet packages on Browse tab input oracle. You will see Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.EntityFramework. Select version of oracle you have installed. This should be 12.1.2400. Install it, you are done
I had the same issue - I hope I can help fellow Googlers having the unfortunate task of connecting Oracle and Visual Studio.
I followed the steps and still got crashes - because I was using VS2017 (I understand that the questions is tagged VS2015). You'll need to install the VS2017 ODAC Client. Thankfully, this one actually does something when you begin the installation. The installer in the link on the accepted answer will only work for VS2015.
The most recent version (as of this time of writing) of ODP.NET is 18.3, which can be installed through NuGet (Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.EntityFramework). Follow these steps on Oracle's website and you'll be setup.
...Or so you think. I got the same error as in this stack overflow question, where it won't go past the Entity Data Model Wizard.
I applied every configuration in the selected answer, but it still wouldn't work. When I downgraded my Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.EntityFramework from 18.3.0 to 12.2.1100, I could finally create my models!
I have had the same problem when I was trying to connect Oracle Entity Framework with Visual Studio 2017.
After install and unistall several times differents version. The build that better works for me is:
Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2017 (ODTv2017) v12.2.1200
Oracle.ManagedDataAccess v12.2.1100
Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.EntityFramework v12.2.20190115
EntityFramework .NET v6.3.0
I think that having similar versions in Oracle packages is very important for good performance.
It looks like someone here had similar issue: He add to change implementation somehow.
[in this ]case a View (valid and worked) caused the crashes. After changing the implementation without using that view it worked (more or less).
What I advise is you proceed step by step, only importing one object for the first time you test the wizard, then only simple table, then add procedures, views...

SQLite on Windows Phone problems

I'm developing a SQLite-heavy Windows Phone 8 application and tried to use the latest version, which however seems extremely buggy and randomly fails during INSERT and UPDATE statements with zero-explanation errors (see SQLite 3.8.2 exception on Update statement). For that reason I removed the latest version from the project and entered the one that works correctly.
I published the app to Windows Phone Store after rigorous testing, everything working correctly. However, when it came out, the errors that happened when the newer version was there are happening again. I tested the exact same Release build XAP on my device (via the Deploy tool), and it works perfectly. But after I download the app from Store, once again I get the same issues.
Has someone a way to explain these problems? I repeat, that the exact same XAP that I uploaded I tested and it is working.
EDIT: Additional note - the problems are really random - the same INSERT once works and doesn't another time, although data are valid...
Thank you very much, I'm quite desperate...
The new version of SQLite (3.8.3.1) that was released on 11th April 2014 should resolve any issues, finally :-) . So far I have not encountered the same error again so I suppose it is now fixed.

Migration from legacy version to newer version or MySQL

I recently dug up a very old SQL Anywhere database. I have it installed and it kind of works, its only the distributed side of the data, so everything's running via dbeng50 and ODBC.
I would like to migrate this data to MySQL. Is there a way to do this? I attempted to view the data using an ODBC tool but I kept getting error messages saying the ODBC driver doesn't support the version of ODBC behavior.
I guess the database is too old (it's from 1997) - that put's at it SQL Anywhere version 5.
Its also difficult to find the old SQL tools that would help me access these.
Is it possible to use the .db file with a newer version?
Any help or guidance at all would be appreciated.
