ODBC Connection - Windows 7 64bit
  • awillson December 17, 2010 12:04PM
    I have an Omniscope file that worked on XP prior to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit. I now get the error "Invalid string or buffer length" when setting this up in the Omniscope file after entering the authentication details.

    When I set up the connection in Data Source Admin using the odbcad32.exe and test it the connection is successful. Details are:

    Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver Version 06.01.7600

    Data Source Name: SLA DB
    Data Source Description: SLA DB
    Server: Removed for privacy
    Database: (Default)
    Language: (Default)
    Translate Character Data: Yes
    Log Long Running Queries: No
    Log Driver Statistics: No

    Prepared Statements Option: Drop temporary procedures on disconnect
    Use Failover Server: No

    Use ANSI Null, Paddings and Warnings: Yes

    What version of Omniscope? And is it a 64-bit or 32-bit installation of Omniscope (I know you've got 64-bit Windows)?

    Are you setting up a new connection using File > Connect to Database? Or are you opening a pre-configured IOK file?

    Try the 32-bit version of Omniscope. Or, upgrade to 2.6 (alpha, though) which has a native (non-ODBC) SQL Server connector.

    I'll try 2.6. Will I need to re-activate my license as we do not have your services.visokio.com permissioned on our firewall...
