Using FTDP with Oracle Database

Thursday, October 17, 2013 TimeTec 19 Comments

The Oracle database server records all user information and transactions. The high storage capabilities of the server eliminates the need for a conventional filing system, providing a better and paperless working environment. It is possible to install FTDP to work with Oracle so that 3rd party software plug-ins can access the transaction data with ease. Read more to see the step-by-step guide to install FTDP with Oracle Database. 

 Download FTDP here. 

Step to install FTDP software with Oracle Database


1.    Create a table space in the Oracle database for FTDP storage size 200MB.
2.    Create a user or link the existing user to this table space.
3.    Configure Oracle Local Bet Service Name Configuration on the PC.
4.    Go to Windows > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Data Sources (ODBC). 
5.    For Windows 7/Vista/8 64 bits, go to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe.
6.    Open up Data Sources (ODBC) > System DSN tab.
7.    Add a new data source, select the Oracle driver and click Finish.
8.    Input a new Data Source Name, select the TNS service name, key in User ID and click on Test Connection to make sure the connection to the Oracle database is successful. Click OK to save.
9.  Go to Start > All Programs > FingerTec > FingerTec Data Processor > Database Initialization Tool.
10. Select Oracle, key in TNS Service Name, UserName, Password and Table Space name and click Connect to connect Oracle database. Continue by clicking on Initialize, and wait until the Oracle database initialization is complete.
11. Double click on FingerTec Data Processor, key in your password and login.
12. Go to Configuration > Database Setting, select the FTDP Oracle data source, key in its User name and Password, tick Allow saving password and click on Test Connection to make sure the connection to Oracle database is successful. Click OK to save and exit.
13. Restart the FTDP application and voila! Now you have successfully connected the FTDP application to the Oracle database.

    this configuration will allow us to read data from oracle database to the fingertech database (access database), but we need to send the data downloaded into finguretech from the attendance machine and send it to oracle tables, how can we do that

      Dear Customer

      You can't directly download the clocking data from the FingerTec terminal into your third party software. You will need to use the FTDP software as a bridge by switch the database from Microsoft Access Database to the Oracle Database using ODBC setting.

    http://www.fingertectips.com/2013/10/using-ftdp-with-oracle-database.html
    however our requirement is to send the data which FTDP donwnloaded from the attendance machine and send it automatically (periodically based on schedule) to oracle database, so we need the steps how to connect to oracle from FTDP how to send the data and in which tables to send the data.... etc
    Please if you have a detailed screen shots will be helpful.

    Dear customer,

    For your information, the step shown above is the way to transfer the data downloaded from Fingertec devices into FTDP, and straight away into Oracle database, same as your requirement. Hence please follow the steps shown above accordingly, and to which table the data is stored in Oracle, depends on how you configure the Oracle. You can refer to the above comment for the FTDP table names. and the data it stores.

      Hello Sir,

      Referring to the problem and for your info, we have run a testing using default FTDP database (Microsoft Access Database) and found there is no issue to integrate and connect the database with FTDP. In this case if you change the database to MSSQL or Oracle database, you will need to check the issue at the ODBC integration or your current database itself.

      If there is any error message or problem during the integration kindly share with us the screenshot picture or any supporting document and email to support@fingertec.com for our reference to doing the checking. Thanks.

      Dear Mr Mohammad,

      Good day to you,

      May I know the exact device serial number for the device that can not be connected to our Fingertec software? The serial number can be found in the device's menu (Menu > Sys Info > Device > Serial Number, or you can check it at the back-side of the device (7-digit serial number).

      Remark:
      You can only activate Fingertec device in our software as it designed to fit our device firmware and architecture
