FileMaker to Oracle Real-Time Connection - Seeking Assistance and User Experiences

Hi,

I am writing to request support with establishing a real-time connection between our FileMaker database and our Oracle database. We have a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) built on FileMaker, and we need to access its data in near real-time from Oracle.

I have been exploring various options, including the ODBC driver (HSODBC), but I have encountered challenges in achieving a stable and efficient real-time connection. I am seeking guidance on the recommended approach for this integration and would like to learn from other users' experiences.

Specifically, I would appreciate it if you could provide information on the following:

  • Best practices: What are the recommended methods and configurations for connecting FileMaker and Oracle in real-time or near real-time?
  • Alternative solutions: Are there other tools or technologies that might be better suited for this integration?
  • User experiences: Have other users encountered similar challenges? If so, what solutions did they implement?
  • Troubleshooting: Are there any known issues or common pitfalls to watch out for when setting up this connection?

I have attached a detailed log of my recent attempts to connect FileMaker and Oracle, which includes error messages and configuration details. This may provide further context for the issues I am facing.

Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to hearing from you and learning from your expertise.

Hi.,

May i know which version of database you are using, Is it 19C, if 19C DB then, you are importing into the CDB or Any of PDB Database?

Based on your export command you have issued., I have given 2 scenario to perform as shown below.

expdp user/pass schemas=ctm920 directory=BACKUP_DIRDC logfile=backup.log filesize=1G

If you are using import on Container Database (CDB)

- Check the OS Directory is created & you have linked this OS Directory to DB directory.
Ex: $ mkdir -p /u01/dumpfile/
- Place dumpfile into /u01/dumpfile location.
- SQL> create or replace directory dumpfile as '/u01/dumpfile/';
- SQL> grant read, write on directory dumpfile to [import user];

impdp user/pass dumpfile=expdat.dmp logfile=imp_log.log directory=BACKUP_DIRDC TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=REPLACE

If you are using import on Pluggable Database (PDB)

- Check the OS Directory is created & you have linked this OS Directory to DB directory.
Ex: $ mkdir -p /u01/dumpfile/
- Place dumpfile into /u01/dumpfile location.
- SQL> create or replace directory dumpfile as '/u01/dumpfile/';
- SQL> grant read, write on directory dumpfile to [import user];

impdp user/pass@(PDB NAME) dumpfile=expdat.dmp logfile=imp_log.log directory=BACKUP_DIRDC TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=REPLACE

Keep us update.

impdp parameter TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=REPLACE applies to tables only. Errors you are getting indicate FUNCTION:"ctm920 "."CURRTIME", PROCEDURE:"ctm920 "."PURGE_CMR_RUNINF_1" and FUNCTION:"ctm920 "."DDIFF" already exist in target database. You need to decide do you want to keep there existing objects and for that you need to add EXCLUDE parameters to import or import them and for that you need to drop these objects before import.

SY.
