Service accounts for the Workspace Database service permission Error while creating Tabular Mode from PowerPivot

Hi All,
Please help me out against this issue. I have spent so much (3 working days) time just figuring out what is the issue and its solution.
I am learning Tabular Mode and trying to create a mode based on PowerPivot model. I am getting following error message:
'The PowerPivot workbook could not be imported. The service account for the workspace database server does not have permission to read from the PowerPivot workbook.'
Here is my infrastructure:
1. SSAS in Tabular Mode is installed on my Windows 8 Laptop
2. PowerPivot is also in my laptop
3. There is only my account (as Admin of course) for SSAS
Here are my questions:
1. What is this error and how can I cope with that? A step by step explanation would be highly appreciated :-)
2. Do I need to change something in Windows settings or in SSAS?
3. I am confused about my workspace database server as well, Do I have to install SSAS twice; one for development and one for workspace?
 Looking forward for the expert advise.
Tahir
Thanks, TA

Hi,
I suspect you might have more luck if you try the SSAS forum: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/home?forum=sqlanalysisservices

  • Service billing for the material and service registers

    Dear All,
    I have doubt, if i do a sale of material 'X' and for the same material if i have to do a service invoice for rendering some service at the customer end. eg:- service charges for transportaion of the material to the customer place, doing installation charges for the material at the customer end etc.,
    how should i go about it in SD .
    A. Should i have to create a seperate mm master record for the list of service with the item category group LEIS
    B. or is it possible to do a service invoice with out creating a sales order i.e directly based on the billing of the material 'x'
    C. Is there any service tax register standard available. or if i wanted to create a service master should i have to ask the abaper to develop a z program for it
    d. is this tcode can be used S_ALR_87012357 for service tax registers?
    kindly update me on this
    thanking you in advance
    kumi

    Hi
    You need to create a material with item category group
    a) LEIS (Service without Delivery) or
    b) DIEN (Service with Delivery)
    Based on the same you could bill the customer.
    ... Please.
    with kind regards

  • Selective XML Index feature is not supported for the current database version , SQL Server Extended Events , Optimizing Reading from XML column datatype

    Team , Thanks for looking into this  ..
    As a last resort on  optimizing my stored procedure ( Below ) i wanted to create a Selective XML index  ( Normal XML indexes doesn't seem to be improving performance as needed ) but i keep getting this error within my stored proc . Selective XML
    Index feature is not supported for the current database version.. How ever
    EXECUTE sys.sp_db_selective_xml_index; return 1 , stating Selective XML Indexes are enabled on my current database .
    Is there ANY alternative way i can optimize below stored proc ?
    Thanks in advance for your response(s) !

    Hi,
    Yes i was able to solve it. Actually what happened was i remember registering Reporting and Analysis using the same database reusing the same old repository. And after that this issue came up.
    So i took the back up of repository database and also luckily still on testing environment and had not much to loose. So i reconfigured the relational database dropping all the databases. It resolved the issue.
    But why it happened and the real cause is not know even Oracle support was unable to answer this.
    Peace

  • I received the error (in iCal on my mac) : "The server responded with an error" while creating an event. I can't delete or acknowledge this error and now iCal is frozen. Any suggestions?

    I received the error (in iCal on my iMac): "The server responded with an error". The error message is very large, and if there is a way to acknowledge and close it I can't find it. Because this error message is open, I can't do anything in iCal. Any suggestions on how I could kill this error message? Thanks.

    did you find ou how to get rid of it i can't

    HI,
    No, this I have already tried.
    Actually above code is working in our local server but when i am trying on client database it is not working. only difference is we have SQL Server 2000 & client database is on SQL server 2005.
    Hope some body will guess what is the problem,

  • How to use the default database service name on creating procedure for data

    how to use the default database service name on creating procedure for datagaurd client failover ??? all oracle doc says create a new service as below and enable at DB startup. but our client is using/wanted database default service to connect from application on the datagaurd environment (rac to non rac setup).please help.
    Db name is = prod.
    exec DBMS_SERVICE.CREATE_SERVICE (service_name => 'prod',network_name =>'prod',failover_method => 'BASIC',failover_type => 'SELECT',failover_retries => 180,failover_delay => 1);
    says already the service available.
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER manage_dgservice after startup on database DECLARE role
    VARCHAR(30);BEGIN SELECT DATABASE_ROLE INTO role FROM V$DATABASE;
    IF role = 'NO' THEN DBMS_SERVICE.START_SERVICE('prod');
    END IF;
    END;
    says trigger created, but during a swithover still the service is listeneing on listener.
    tns entry.
    prod =

    thanks in advance.

    Hello;
    So in the example below replace "ernie" with the alias you want the client to use.
    I can show you how I do it :
    First an entry need to be added to the client tnsnames.ora that uses a SERVICE_NAME instead of a SID.
    ernie =
    (DESCRIPTION =
        (ADDRESS_LIST =
           (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Primary.host)(PORT = 1521))
           (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Standby.host)(PORT = 1521))
           (CONNECT_DATA =
           (SERVICE_NAME = ernie)
    )Next the service 'ernie' needs to be created manually on the primary database.
    BEGIN
       DBMS_SERVICE.CREATE_SERVICE('ernie','ernie');
    END;
    /After creating the service needs to be manually started.
    BEGIN
       DBMS_SERVICE.START_SERVICE('ernie');
    END;
    /Several of the default parameters can now be set for 'ernie'.
    BEGIN
       DBMS_SERVICE.MODIFY_SERVICE
       ('ernie',
       FAILOVER_METHOD => 'BASIC',
       FAILOVER_TYPE => 'SELECT',
       FAILOVER_RETRIES => 200,
       FAILOVER_DELAY => 1);
    END;
    /Finally a database STARTUP trigger should be created to ensures that this service is only offered if the database is primary.
    CREATE TRIGGER CHECK_ERNIE_START AFTER STARTUP ON DATABASE
    DECLARE
    V_ROLE VARCHAR(30);
    BEGIN
    SELECT DATABASE_ROLE INTO V_ROLE FROM V$DATABASE;
    IF V_ROLE = 'PRIMARY' THEN
    DBMS_SERVICE.START_SERVICE('ernie');
    ELSE
    DBMS_SERVICE.STOP_SERVICE('ernie');
    END IF;
    END;
    /lsnrctl status - should show the new service.
    When I do this the Database will still register with the listener. I don't give that to the clients. That one will still be available but nobody knows about it. Meanwhile "ernie" moves with the database role.
    So in my example the default just hangs out in the background.

  • Use SIA service account for SQL Server reporting connections (BIP4.1)

    Is it possible to use the SIA service account as a proxy for a SQL Server connection using OLE DB? This way, anytime a report was refreshed, the SIA service account would be used when authenticating to the reporting database? This is a common pattern in software development to minimize database maintenance (when there is sufficient security being enforced at the application layer - BOBJ provides this).
    This would make SQL Server database security management very easy for the DBAs (just add the BOBJ service account to the database and assign dbreader).
    I would think this would be an option, but a Relational Connection only provides the following 3 Authentication modes when using the IDT to create and publish a Relational Connection (OLEDB/MSSQL):
    Use BusinessObjects credential mapping
    This takes the username and password from the "Database Credentials" section of the BusinessObjects User object for the user in the current session. It passes the info as hard-coded SQL authentication.
    Use single sign-on when refreshing reports at view time
    This is ONLY for end-to-end single-sign-on (as the error message in the next paragraph specifies) and uses the Windows AD credentials for the user in the current session. It is this method of authentication that I'd like to use, i.e. Windows Integrated Security, but I'd like to have the SIA account act as the account that makes the connection, not end-to-end.
    Use specified username and password
    This is for hard-coding usernames and passwords (only SQL authentication in OLE DB).
    I've tried leaving the "Cache security context" option OFF in Windows AD Authentication settings, hoping it would default to using the service account for authentication to the database... to no avail. It fails during tests in the IDT with the message:
    "Single Sign-On failed in the CMS. Please contact your system administrator for details. : The authentication provider (secWinAD) associated with this logon session does not have inter-process Single Sign-On enabled. Contact your system administrator for details. (FWB 00019)"
    Alternatively, a SQL user could be hard-coded into the connection (same simple maintenance on the DBA side), but we'd really like to rely on Windows Integrated Security if possible!
    Is there a way?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Hey David,
    Did you ever solve this? We get the same SSO error when indexing information spaces in Explorer.
    Thanks,

  • AD sync service account for cloud based application

    i have a cloud based application that i am setting up AD sync with. in their directions below i have bolded the ones i need answers too. my domain functional level is windows server 2003
    The active directory synchronization requires the following:
    A domain user which has the following properties:
    The password is known and does not expire - completed
    The domain user account has read permissions to all objects in the entire domain within active directory
    Confirm that if the domain has been upgraded to Windows 200x functional level from Windows NT4, 2000 or 2003 that we have the appropriate Group permissions below available to the domain user account for the synchronization in addition
    to read permissions to the entire domain:
    Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access
    Pre-Windows 2003 Compatible Access
    The username and password are passed using the appropriate communication channels - completed
    i have created a service account in my AD called myappldap. does a domain user have read permissions to all objects in the entire domain within active directory without adding the to any other security groups except domain users? Or do i have to click on
    the top level domain object in AD>go to properties>security>and give them read permission and proprogate down those premissions? Also i do not see Pre-windows 2003 compatible access as a security object i can give this service account read permissions
    to. i just wanted to confirm that this is because i am still running a functional domain of windows server 2003?

    A domain user has complete Read on everything in the forest.
    As for the Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible group, that's a reduced security group to allow NULL password for pre-Windows 2000 DCs, such as the way NT4 RRAS (VPN servers) used. In Windows 2000 and newer, we can eliminate that group, since it's a security concern.
    More info to read up on it, here:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/e8dfacba-985f-4042-abeb-f341bf37522f/prewindows-2000-compatible-access-group?forum=winserverDS
    Everyone group does not include anonymous security identifier
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278259
    As for Pre-Windows 2003, I haven't come across anything that would say
    pre-2003.  It almost appears that the software is using NULL or some other kind of reduces security on the password. Then again, I could totally be wrong. Is that specifically how the third party software specifies it in the docs? 
    Can you post a link to it?

  • VMM 2012 R2 - Create or Update Run As Account Failure: The specified directory service attribute or value does not exist

    VMM 2012R2 UR4 - Version 3.2.7768.0
    Not sure when this started happening since I haven't had to update or create a new RunAs account in VMM in some time, but every time I do, either through the console or through PowerShell it throws an error about The specified directory service attribute
    or value does not exist.  The VMM Service account is the same as it always has been, and other than this issue everything with VMM is working fine.  The full text of the error message is below.
    I am hoping someone has some ideas because I don't have any more at this point.

  • Service Accounts for Reporting Service in SQL Server Failover Cluster setup

    I am setting up 2 Report Services (SSRS) in SQL Failover Clustering (Version: 2012SP1) on Windows 2012, as part of scale out architecture.
    There are 2 options to configure the service account for SSRS:
    Option 1) Using domain accounts, as what I have done for DB Engine and SQL Agent.
    Option 2) accept the default, which is virtual account for SSRS. Per documentation URL:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143504.aspx
    which is the recommended one? is it option 2?
    There is security note on above URL as well, but does not clearly mention that option 1 is not recommended.
    Security Note:  Always run SQL Server services by using the lowest possible user rights. Use a MSA or  virtual account when possible. When MSA and virtual accounts are not possible, use a specific low-privilege user account or domain account instead
    of a shared account for SQL Server services. Use separate accounts for different SQL Server services. Do not grant additional permissions to the SQL Server service account or the service groups. Permissions will be granted through group membership or granted
    directly to a service SID, where a service SID is supported.
    Thanks very much for your help!

    Hi Luo Donghua,
    In SQL Server Failover Cluster Instance, personally two options can run well. If you use the virtual account for SQL Server Reporting Service. Virtual accounts in Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 are managed local accounts that provide the features to
    simplify service administration. The virtual account is auto-managed, and the virtual account can access the network in a domain environment.
    Of cause, you can also use domain accounts in your clustering. 
    Just make sure your service account is set up here, or that it is using a proper built-in account.For more information, see:http://ermahblerg.com/2012/11/08/cluster-ssrs-in-2008/
    Thanks,

  • How to deploy the Workspace Agent Services as a Window Service!

    Hi all,
    does anyone know how to install the Workspace Agent Service back as a Windows Service after i re-installed an reconfigured the workspace completly i do not see the Agent anymore in my Windows Services. I sure would like to avoid to have to uninstall and set it up completely again.
    The agent start file is located in common\workspacert\9.5.0.0\bin.
    Your help is much appreciated
    Cheers
    Andr&eacute;

    I hit the same problem after reinstalling workspace.
    It seems that the config tool does not create the workspace agent service on subsequent configurations.
    A quick search of the configtool.log from the original installation/configuration yields the following:
    com.hyperion.avalanche.config.CoreService, INFO, Running command: D:\Hyperion\common\workspacert\9.5.0.0\bin\wksagent.exe -RegService -Auto -Name HyS9Core1 -DisplayName Hyperion Workspace - Agent Service -Description HyS9Core1, Provides service infrastructure to run services locally
    Dropping the above line at the command prompt fixed the issue for me.
    Cheers,
    Aaron

    To set up the management pieces of vSphere, I need to have an account or accounts created in Active Directory.  I need to determine how many to create and what permissions they need.
    In Single Sign on Server, I need to choose an account that vCenter server will use when it connects to SSO.  I can use the default admin@system-domain.  Or I can add an account that is configured in Active Directory.  Or, I can also use an active directory group instead of an individual user.  What is the best way to do this and if I use an AD account, what permissions does it need at the domain level and at the local level on the Single Sign on Server?  (I'm using multisite mode, so I can't use local accounts)
    In SQL Server, I need to choose an account to use for the SQL server service.  Should this account be an active directory account or a local user account?  If so, what permissions should be assigned to the account in Active Directory and what permissions should be assigned to it on the local machine?  What AD group, if any should it be a part of?  What local permissions does it need?
    In vCenter Server, I need to choose an account to run the "vCenter Server Service" in.  Is it best to use the default "system" account or to use an account from Active Directory, or a local account?
    I'm trying to get a big picture of an AD account/group strategy to use that covers the main management pieces of vSphere - vCenter Server, Single Sign on, Inventory Service, Web Client Services.
    For example, create one group called "vSphere Services", then create separate accounts for each management piece, and assign them specific permissions on specific systems.  Or create separate groups for each management piece and assign permissions to the groups.  Is it better to consolidate some of these user names or split them out?  Any experiences / suggestions welcome.  Thanks.

    Hello,
    For general services I use a service specific account within AD. This was before SSO and I use the same after SSO. SSO is used by only two services that I know about at the moment (Inventory Service and perhaps vCloud). However, there are many other service accounts that should be created. You want one account per service and I use AD for this, this way I can create a service account group and give it the appropriate roles and privileges. FOr example I have service accounts for:
    VMware View
    XenDesktop
    vCops
    HPSIM
    Solarwinds
    VMTurbo
    NetApp
    etc.
    One service, one service account, each with either a general role or custom role depending on access requirements to vCenter.
    For SSO, I to am waiting on general information, but I set mine up fairly basically to cover only those resources that make use of SSO. Since the vast majority of items do not use SSO, the rule still applies.  Once SSO is supported by more than one or two tools, you still need to maintain that separation.
    So I say yes, tie SSO to AD and do everything in one place, unfortunately, that is not very clear, or at least was not to me and these SSO issues are either beng fixed, documented, or both.
    Best regards,

  • Service Account for SQL Server Agent on SQL Server 2008 R2

    This SQL Server instance is SQL Server 2008 R2 (10.50.4000).  We had Active Domain Service accounts created to run the service accounts for SQL Server and SQL Server Agent.
    It has become company policy to alter the service accounts that run SQL Server and SQL Server Agent.  Currently, both were running under the Local System Accounts.  We have altered the SQL Server but we are having issues with the SQL Server Agent. 
    I am told by another DBA that
    "The agent is requiring elevated rights.  It will startup if it has local admin rights, but not with domain accounts without admin rights."
    So I was wondering if anyone has come across this issue and how did they resolve it.

    "The agent is requiring elevated rights.  It will startup if it has local admin rights, but not with domain accounts without admin rights."
    This is completely not true. It is indeed possible to run agent as a domain account without giving it local admin. Chances are you'll need to update the local acls by adding the account to the local security groups. Please see this article for more information:

    Edit: In addition, it'll need rights to SQL server for that account to connect and do its work. It will need to be given sysadmin:
