I just set up an experimental Cognos server, so that we can do some web based tests. Yesterday I set up the ODBC connection with our Oracle server, which was troublesome because I was given Oracle 8.1.6 Client, whereas the office used to use SQL*net 2.3 and an Oracle 7.3 driver.


Eventually I got it to connect , then I used architect to build a package for transformer.


When I went to transformer I set up the dimensions and measures as I always do, but I keep on getting the same error whenever I try to generate categories or create a cube.


The error is as follows:


[TR0109] Transformer couldn't read the data source.


The details:
DMS-E-GENERAL, A general exception has occurred during operation 'asynchronous' open.


[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-01453: SET TRANSACTION must be first statement of transaction.



Not sure what this means, since I have never seen it before. I know that the two server's are now hooked up because I tested the Oracle database with an MS Acces query, and got the desired results, so I figure that I need to change the configuration of something, but not sure what I need to change. Or where it is...

 
The error seems more Cognos/Oracle related, rather than "pure" ODBC. If you haven't already, you might try cross-posting to those forums.

Best of luck. Robert Bradley
