    Teiid PI JDBC Connection Error - Null Pointer Exception

    asjboss1

      Hello,

       

      I am trying to set up a JDBC connection to PI. I have configured the PI connection correctly as I am able to test it out using DB Visualizer and using a test Java application provided by the vendor. I can also "ping" the connection successfully from within Eclipse.  My end goal is to consume PI data through Teiid.

       

      However, when trying to set up a JDBC connection using Teiid in Eclipse, I get the error:

      Error creating SQL Model Connection connection to PI JDBC. (Error: null)

      java.lang.NullPointerException

      Could not connect to PI JDBC.

      Error creating SQL Model Connection connection to PI JDBC. (Error: null)

      java.lang.NullPointerException

      OK

       

      In the Data Sources Window in Eclipse, despite throwing the error it seems to indicate that it was able to connect to PI data access gateway successfully since it knows the version number.Teiid.PNG

      Here is the working configuration string from DB Visualizer:

      DBVisualizer.PNG

      I tried this with both the 32 and 64 bit versions of Eclipse.

       

      Any help is much appreciated!

          Al,

           

          Where in Eclipse you are trying setup the JDBC connection, in Database Explorer? or using the JDBC import? Database Explorer gives you the DB visualizer kind of environment, where as Import --> JDBC Source gives the ability to import the metadata in Teiid Model.  I think the NPE you are seeing may be due to the PI JDBC driver's non compliance to support all the metadata calls that eclipse is interrogating. May be you can find the full stack to see the issue.

            I have now been able to successfully deploy the JDBC adapter on the server. There is still a problem using Eclipse but I am fine trying to work with this through the VDB XML files. There was a problem with the JDBC adapter as it did not contain the driver definition file inside META-INF/services.

             

            I am now having a problem whereby the deployment of the VDB throws a duplicate table exception, but strangely I'm not even calling the particular table function mentioned in the query. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

             

            Example 1

            The following query works: select tag from pipoint.pipoint where tag='sinusoid'

            JDBC connection: jdbc:pisql://iscapps/Data Source=iscpi;Integrated Security=SSPI; 

            Example 2 - this query does not work: SELECT Name FROM [Calgary Flames].[Asset].[ElementHierarchy] eh.

            JDBC Connection: jdbc:pioledbent://iscapps/Data Source=iscaf;Integrated Security=SSPI;

             

            Here is the error message that is thrown:

            VDB PIAF.1 model "PIAF-Physical" metadata failed to load. Reason:TEIID60013 Du

                    at org.teiid.metadata.Schema.addTable(Schema.java:49) 

             

            Here is the definition of the VDB file:

                    ]]> </metadata> 
                </model> 
            </vdb> 

             

            Any thoughts? Are VDBs that query from the Asset.* hierarchies currently supported?

              Here's a quick update. The query in example 1 was working earlier today but for some reason does not work now. It's the exact same query, but now when the server loads up I see the following error:

                Can you provide the full stack trace?  java.lang.Integer cannot be cast to java.lang.Short could be coming from the driver itself on a DatabaseMetaData call to ResultSet.getShort, which is expected to work.  Also which version of Teiid are you using?

                    So this is effectively a bug with their ResultSet/DatabaseMetaData.  You could try disabling the import of keys - set the model property importer.importKeys=false - and that should get you past this error.  It will take a code change though to address this in general, can you log a JIRA for that?

                    • 7. Re: Teiid PI JDBC Connection Error - Null Pointer Exception
                      asjboss1

                      Thanks Steven. Where exactly can I make this model property change?

                       

                      I saw your response to the JIRA and modified the query to use varchar (see below). This got rid of the QueryParserException but did not get rid of the Integer / Short conversion error mentioned in the earlier post.

                      CREATE VIEW IceDataTwo (

                                  tag varchar

                                select tag from pipoint.pipoint where tag='sinusoid'

                      Also, what about the original error with the different query above - is this also a problem with the vendor's schema? Nowhere in my query do I call ft_GetPIPoint

                          Thanks Ramesh. I changed the property value as described and the model was able to deploy, but there is still a warning in the logs. Executing a Teiid client query against the model fails (tried it with DBVisualizer).

                            The error is saying that your usage of "pipoint.pipoint" table is not found with the schema import that has been done. It may be possible it is just "pipoint" or some other catalog name before it. If you want to use full name, it needs to be "PIAF-Physical"."xxx.pipoint". One way to make sure is remove your virtual model from the vdb.xml, deploy the VDB, then take look at the metadata imported using SquirreL or Web-Console, then insert back the virtual model with correct names in your View transformation of "IceDataTwo"

                              Thanks Ramesh. This helped quite a bit. We are inching closer. I'm now able to get through to the source system and run some very simple queries using the PI OLEDB connection. However, to be useful these queries typically filter on tag and time, but the translation engine seems to be adding some extra text which is causing an error in the query. I'm also still trying to figure out why the OLEDB Enterprise connection query throws a duplicate record error. I've broken these down into two items below. I really appreciate your assistance.

                               

                              1) The simple PI OLEDB query deploys successfully but fails when I run the query mentioned below to filter on the tag and timestamp. Error says 'syntax error near ts'...

                                is telling me that this driver does not like JDBC escaped timestamp format. What is difference in this PI OLEDB connection? Is this a standard JDBC driver provided from PI? either case it is not treating the timestamp string form not correctly. If it is then we need to make modification to the PI translator in the Teiid to convert the timestamp to a form that it understands. What you can do is execute the below query using JDBC tool like SquirreL


                                SELECT TOP 1000 g_0."tag" AS c_0, g_0."time" AS c_1,  g_0."value" AS c_2 FROM "piarchive"."picomp2" AS g_0 
                                WHERE g_0."tag" = 'sinusoid' AND g_0."time" > {ts '2016-04-20 00:00:00.0'}
                                


                                and modify the time value to a format that it understands, and post it back here the results.


                                2) is due to the fact that you used


                                 

                                <property name="importer.useFullSchemaName" value="false"/>

                                 


                                What that telling the importer is to ignore the catalog and schema name and just use the Table name when importing, thus there is a collision in names of the tables. If you change this to "true" then it will continue with importing, but in that case you would need to change the transformation of view to use some thing like ""PIAF-Physical"."catalog_name"."schema.name"."picomp2".

                                  Thanks for your input Ramesh.

                                   

                                  For #1, the following query works in DBVisualizer:

                                  SELECT TOP 1000 g_0."tag" AS c_0, g_0."time" AS c_1,  g_0."value" AS c_2 FROM "piarchive"."picomp2" AS g_0

                                  WHERE g_0."tag" = 'sinusoid' AND g_0."time" > '2016-04-20 00:00:00.0'

                                  However, putting the {ts } syntax in makes it fail with the same error as shown in Teiid.

                                   

                                  Yes, this is the standard PI JDBC adapter from OSIsoft. I had to make one change to it as noted above, which was to add the java.sql.driver file inside the META-INF\services

                                   

                                  For #2: using full schema names as per your suggestion worked. I was able to run the simple query I was originally trying and that deployed fine. However, trying to write a more useful query, I'm running into a couple of errors.

                                  a) for the query below, I get the error

                                  I can see the schema in DBVisualizer and the data types are Guids..

                                  b) It seems to dislike adding extra options to queries which are normally supported by PI OLEDB Enterprise. For instance, it complains about the following query with the error below:

                                    For #1, you should create a JIRA, we can fix the translator to make sure it does not send 'ts{...}' escape, and sends plain text to PI.

                                     

                                    For #2, You need to take look the schema of the the ElementAttribute and ElementHierarchy and find the data type differences. I mean take look at the schema as Teiid interpreting, see my first reply as to how to check the schema of model. Then either fix the data incompatibility by using convert on one of the elements in the query. But if you think the Teiid import process did not import the type correctly then that can be logged as issue. See the comment Steve made here [TEIID-3327] Translator for OSIsoft PI - JBoss Issue Tracker on possible issue.

                                     

                                    #b, you are trying to use PI's specific SQL, that is not possible. You are only allowed to used Teiid specific SQL dialect, which is ANSI-SQL. If you think extra options are required, we need to implement in the translator before they can be used. Then in that case, I say lets create a JIRA for it full description about what FORCE ORDER, EMBED ERROR do, and how Teiid should be interpreting those options when results return from the PI database.
