Test connection failed in Informatica Developer - informatica

I am working with Informatica Developer - Power-Center. I have it installed on 2 computers: my local PC and the MS Server where the Informatica Server is also installed.
I defined a new connection and tested it by clicking Test Connection. On my PC the test works fine but when I test the connection on the server the test fails with the following error: "[REL_10611] Error returned during ODBC access. ErrorCode=[-1]. Reason=[[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified]."
Another strange thing is that the mapping that includes a relational data object that uses this connection works even on the server and adds row to the DB.
Does anybody know why this could be happening? Is this a bug in the Informatica Developer?

Did you create the ODBC data source on the server? The data source needs to be created on both your local PC and on the server. When using the Developer Tool (and the Power Center client tools for that matter), some operations are executed from your local workstation and some are executed on the Data Integration Service (DIS).

Google big query data server connection with cognos Analytics 1116

I am trying to create google big query data server connection with cognos analytics on cognos portal but i am getting below error . I have followed all steps . Placed json in the driver folder inside cognos install directory along with all the simba jdbc driver but not sure where i am missing .I have installed simba odbc drivers as well , system dsn is also showing simba driver but still getting connection refused. My cognos setup is installed on windows server 2019 data center which is Virtual Machine hosted on GCP and port 80,443 traffic is also enabled.

Its most likely the JSON file is not in the JDBC connection URL.

Different issues in local and server

In my organization we have a sonarqube server set up and working - there we can see the results on a daily basis. Now we want to introduce sonarlint to see exactly the same state on the local developer PC-s and on the server. I've set up the sonarlint extensions and bind the connection sucessfully. When i change an issue in the server e.g.: to info, the modifications are not getting synchronized to the local PC-s, and i have no idea how to fetch the server state.
Does anybody solved this issue already?

Unit Test Load Testing Visual Studio Cloud not able to initialize SQL Server connection

I am trying to test WCF endpoint stress testing using VS 2013 Cloud Load testing. I have created unit testes which are running fine. To make my unit test work I had to pass some random set of values to the endpoint. So I created a database haavinf with valid values and randomly selecting them as a input for my WCF endpoint.
I am trying to use VS 2013 Cloud load testing and my tests are failing at Unit test Initialization test.
Initialization method WCFLoadTests.Tests.Init threw exception.
System.Data.Entity.Core.EntityException:
System.Data.Entity.Core.EntityException: The underlying provider failed on Open. --->
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified).
Do I need to do some setting on cloud? or what?
Many thanks,
Thanks all who read my question and spent their time to help me resolve it.
I have fixed this issue by simply using Code First technique in my Unit Tests. Earlier I was using Database first ( was being Lazy) and generated connection string ( providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" ) was giving error.
Many thanks,

PC File server variable performance when importing from Access MDB

I've got some code that runs in Enterprise guide (SAS Enterprise build, Windows locally, Unix server), which imports a large table via a local install of PC File server. It runs fine for me, but is slow to the point of uselessness for the system tester.
When I use his SAS identity on my windows PC, the code works; but when I use my SAS identity on his machine it doesn't, so it appears to be a problem with the local machine. We have the same version of EG (same hot fixes installed) connecting to the same server (with the same roles) running the same code in the same project, connecting to the same Access database.
Even a suggestion of what to test next would be greatly appreciated!
libname ACCESS_DB pcfiles path="&db_path"
server=&_CLIENTMACHINE
port=9621;
data permanent.&output_table (keep=[lots of vars]);
format [lots of vars];
length [lots of vars];
set ACCESS_DB.&source_table (rename=([some awkward vars]));
if [var]=[value];
[build some new vars, nothing scary];
;
run;
Addenda The PC files server is running on the same machine where the EG project is being run in both case - we both have the same version installed. &db_path is the location of the Access database - on a network file store both users can access (in fact other, smaller tables can be retrieved by both users in a sensible amount of time). This server is administered by IT and not a server we as the business can get software installed on.
The resolution of your problem will require more details and best solved by dialog with SAS Tech Support. The "online ticket" form is here or you can call them by phone.
For example, is the PCFILES server running locally on both your machine and your tester's machine? If yes, is the file referenced by &db_path on a network file server and does your tester have similar access (meaning both of you can reach it the same way)? Have you considered installing the PCFILE server on your file server rather than on your local PC? Too many questions, I think, for a forum like this. But I could be wrong (its happened before); perhaps others will have a great answer.

Trying to run WebLogic samples in VMWare Lab Manager

I'm trying to do the following:
Installing a Oracle WebLogic 11g Server with the examples in a VMWare Lab Manager (virutal machine Windows XP SP3).
The problem is the following:
According to the installation instruction everything is quite easy and should work out of the box. The installation does not show any errors.
Normally (i tried on a real machine first) it is only needed to got to
Start - Oracle WebLogic - WebLogic Server 11GR1 - Examples - Start Medical Records Server (Spring Edition)
and everything should work fine (a webpage should open).
The problem is, that no Medical webpage shows up.
Digging a little bit deeper:
Start Medical Records Server is only a batch script. On the real machine (same OS) a derby server is started, on VM not.
The batch script on both machines are equal, but both call a setDomainEnv.cmd which containt on the real machine
set DERBY_FLAG=true
and on VM
set DERBY_FLAG=false
Changing the parameter from false to true does start up derby, but the webpage does not open.
The only info message looking liek an error shown on startup is
Ignoring the trusted CA certificate "CN=T-TeleSec GlobalRoot Cl
ass 3,OU=T-Systems Trust Center,O=T-Systems Enterprise Services GmbH,C=DE". The loading of the trusted certificate list raise a certificate parsing exception PKIX: Unsupported OID in the AlgorithmIdentifier object: 1.2.840.113549.1.1.11.>
but the machine finally goes to
Server started in RUNNING mode
Is there something else need to fire up the sample pages?
the admin console starts up at localhost:7011\console , but not the samples
