"Access was denied" trying to refresh Excel Services report data

Project Server 2010
In an Excel Services report, using a sample ODC file I've changed only trivially, during Data / Refresh All Connections:
Access was denied by the external data source. The following connections failed to refresh:
The short...
I've narrowed it down to the Data Refresh attempting to login with the
User ID of the connection string in the ODC file instead of the
credentials of the TargetApplication specified as the SSS ID. SQL
Server logs confirm this.
Why does Excel Services refuse to use the TargetApplication
credentials and continuously attempt to use the User ID in the
connection string (but only for ODC's that have been slightly modified - see below)?
The long...
Excel Services, Secure Store, the Target
Application:"ProjectServerApplication", Trusted File Locations, Trusted
Data Connection Libraries, a db_datareader Database user, and
Credentials for the Target Application have all been setup
and configured.
Accessing the Sample report "SimpleProjectsList" is successful.
Adding a project, then "Data / Refresh All Connections" works and shows
the new project.
To verify; changed the credentials on the TargetApplication
"ProjectServerApplication" to something invalid, iisreset, Data /
Refresh All Connections, correctly failed.
Set credentials correct and everything works fine again.
So that report is definitely using the TargetApplication, and the TargetApplication is definitely set with proper credentials.
Now the issue:
Creating any ODC file from scratch causes "Access was denied..". Exporting the SimpleProjectsList ODC, making no changes,
uploading it, creating a report based on it - Access was denied.
Editing the SimpleProjectsList
Excel file and removing a single space in the SQL to cause the ODC to
get detached. Save As different report, open new report, refresh data -
Access was denied.
When looking at the SQL logs, with each "Access was denied" was a "Login failed for user 'joeblow'. ..."
'joeblow' is the SQL Server user configured in the data connection string for User ID that is for use directly in Excel - NOT the TargetApplication.
I can reproduce the exact same scenario using an unattended service account.
Why does Excel Services refuse to use the TargetApplication credentials?
Thanks-
Mike

Hi Mike,
I think this issue shouldn't be related to SharePoint running in Azure, could you please check the SharePoint ULS log (may enable Verbose level log) if there are more detailed errors for helping to solve this issue?
Meanwhile please also check if the data connection file is setup correctly per the following article.

I assume you are implying "biztax" application here, right?
I have contacted their program lead, with no result at all.
Past days I have been searching for a solution - reinstalls / new systems - no solution.
This issue appeared a week or two ago only.
I found http://forums.adobe.com/message/5338853 useful - but no positive results either.
http://test.eid.belgium.be/faq/faq_nl.htm obviously didnt help either.
If anyone finds a solution to this issue, please do let me know - any help is appreciated.
Biztax tells to use the "signature", not the "authentication" - but it is only Auth. that is showing up as option to sign (that works)
ps, did you fiddle with the Adobe Reader XI security settings and import that PKI etc as well? I hoped that would be the breaktrough. Sadly i'm still crying in my chair.
Oh, and dont forget: they claim nobody else got this issue. Maybe one or two people. (We got about 8 customers experiencing exactly the same symptoms at the same time )

Mifi 2200 - Error 691: Connection Failed - Access was denied ...

I have set up a Mifi 2200. It CAN work great. Intermittently though, I can't get connected wheen using the device as a USB modem. It will ALWAYS connect fine when I connect through Wifi.
The error I get: Mifi 2200 - Error 691: Connection Failed - Access was denied because the username and/or password was invalid in the domain.
I have done all the usual things:
1. Reinstalled the VZAccess Manager software including latest update. I am at 7.3.13.1 (2635a)
2. Obtained all latest Windows updates (XP SP2).
3. Removed, replaced, manually, auto-configured a Dial Up Connection many times.
4. Replaced the USB to microUSB cable.
I found the VZAccess Managers diagnostic tool where you press CTRL-D and enter the password diagvzw and see some additional settings.
There I had a minor break through. There is a setting where I can force the modem to only use 1X. If I do that, I connect every time without fail. No problems, no errors. The moment I put that setting back to Auto or forced EVDO, I fail again, or only work every 20th try or so after a reboot of the device etc.
Is anyone else seeing this, or getting this error? It can't be an account issue since it works sometimes on EVDO and ALWAYS fine on 1X.
Thanks for any help or ideas.
PN

I think I have an update that might be a clue that it IS an Verizon issue either with the device itself or at the towers.
I have determined that when I connect to it through WiFi where I mentioned it seems to ALWAYS work. Well, it always works in 1X mode there. It fails in EVDO mode.
Something up at the towers? Although multiple towers have been tried.
Anyone any ideas?

Excel Services Reports v/s SSRS Reports Performance

Hello All,
I have used SSRS Reporting services to render Dashboard in PWA.
I have added the Report directly to the web page and then navigating to various SSRS reports with multiple data queries to multiple datasets.
This is making my Dashboard extremely slow.
So my question is that, If I use Excel Services Reports in the Dashboard instead of SSRS Reports, will it be any faster ?
Also will it speed up if the reports are added to Performance Point services instead of directly adding to the webpage ?
Please let me know if anybody had tried this.
Thanks,
Shanky

Hello,
It might be quicker it might be slower - it is probably the SQL queries that are running. Are you using Stored Procedures to get the data or just T-SQL queries in the SSRS Report? How long do the queries take to return the data directly in SQL Server
Management Studio?

Error when trying to refresh the current report-Invalid prompt def.WIS00005

I am trying to create a Webi report using a Universe created with Universe Design Tool 4.0. I have created a new universe with a secured relational connection from a cube in our BBD system. The Universe can be created and exported in UDT (and when I test the connection, I get a message saying the server is responding). I can see values for the BEx query in BEx analyzer.
When I open Webi and connect to a universe, I can see the universe, but when I put a dimension to our results tab and go to "run query", I first get the error "Error when trying to refresh the current report". If I close this error I get the error "Invalid Prompt Definiton - WIS00005". Has anybody else had this issue and if so, where can I begin to troubleshoot the error?

Hi,
Please note that if the object parses at Universe level it may still fail at runtime especially for the prompts.
If you still experience the error after applying Patch 11 please analyze the characteristics of the prompt, get some trace logs with High level of detail, they surely will help.
Thanks!
Best regards,
Simone

Error when trying to refresh the current report

I am having this error message "Error when trying to refresh the current report on my reports appear before they are executed. It has been a very random so I am unable to pinpoint what is causing it. I am currently working with BO 4.1 and it is connected to BW, whereby the authentication is SSO.
Either way the reports are able to run with problems but I dislike having to insist with the refresh button or having to close and reopen the report for it to run as it should.
I did some investigations but did not find anything conclusive because there is no problems with authorizations, there are no merged dimensions nor grouping variables used in the report and it is based on just one query.
Does anyone know why this error message appears? What its cause is?

Hi
While creating the report if we select the authentication mode as :Use specified user name and password or Use Business Objects credential mapping, will get the same error.
So if possible can you please test change Connection Type Authentication Mode to Single Sign on.
Find the below link.

"This file cannot be opened. Read access was denied"

I spent a week building a site using Adobe Muse. I had to get a new computer because of a broken screen so I transferred the file overto the new one. But now I cannot open the file. It seems like the file was encrypted but I never did that. It seems like it is set up that was as a default. Is there a way to gain access to my file? I really don't want to re-do the whole thing. I cannot even open it directly from the hard drive when connected using a usb enclosure kit.

Hi,
Did you check the troubleshooting guide

Excel Services 2013 Bug - Automatic or Periodic Data Refreshes Doesnt Update

All,
I have heard from other colleagues that there is a problem with SP2013 Excel Services Automatic Refresh. Specifically, when you set the data connection properties to
Refresh data when opening a file, no error is generated upon open, but it DOES NOT refresh the spreadsheet with new data.
Manual Refresh First. What I did to test this was configure an AS tabular model with AdventureWorksDW as the data source. Loaded the AdventureWorks Tabular project. Created an ODC pointing to the resulting cube instance.
(Made all of the required Excel Services configurations.) Then pointed a workbook to this data source to populate a Pivot Table. Saved it to SharePoint in a trusted location. ODC saved to SharePoint in a trusted data connection library. Finally,
I configured the connection properties to NOT Refresh data when opening the file. Saved it. Go to my in browser Excel Services file, and click
Data | Refresh All Connections. WORKS! Great.
Next up: Automatic Data Refresh. I made a copy of the same workbook. Connected to the same data connection file. Went into the properties of the connection on the copied workbook and checked
Refresh data when opening the file. Saved. Updated relational data in database. Reprocessed the tabular model. Re-opened the Automatic refresh workbook. Numbers stay the same.
I've tried also setting Refresh every setting on
Usage tab of Connection Properties dialog to low number. No change. Tried reducing the Excel Services External Data Cache Lifetime auto refresh setting to 10 seconds. Nothing, no change. Nothing seems to work to get Auto refresh
working. Manual refresh works great. Has anyone else seen this bug? Is there a hot fix? Anyone know if there is something else to try?
UPDATE: In the ULS log, what we see if the following line:
BaseWorkbook.PrepareConnectionsAsync: Refresh skipped. Could not find the data connection name - defaulting to previous state. sessionId=..., dataconnection=
Note: the dataconnection value at the end is empty.

Hi,
Thank you for your question. I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue. There might be some time delay. Appreciate your patience. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Crystal Reports crashes when accessing Help or refreshing report data

I am running Crystal Reports 2008 (v12.0.0.683) on the same server as Business Objects XI 3.0. When I open a report in the Crystal Reports 2008 designer client, the client crashes without any error messages if I try to access the Help files or refresh the current report data. My report does include parameters and a subreport. I am logging onto the Windows 2003 SP2 server via a Remote Desktop connection. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kathy

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the Business Objects Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you
directly. If you have a valid BOE version and support contract you can log a case in SMP.

Hi,
From your description, it should be the permission issue.
Make sure you logon with an account that have administrator privilege to start the service.
And then open the command prompt with administrator, run this command:

Secure Store and Excel Services

Greetings,
I have an Excel workbook that connects to an external SQL database. A simple stored procedure is executed and the data displayed in a sheet. This is a simple connection and works without issue when I open the workbook in Excel itself.
I now want to display this workbook in Excel Services, so I performed the following:
I created a Secure Store Service (no issues) and added a new target application.
In the target application, I selected Individual as the target application type.
On the next page, I used the correct credentials.
Saved the new target application entry in secure store services.
Then I updated the Excel workbook data connection to use the Target Application ID I just created in Secure Store Service.
When I refresh the data, while the workbook is open in Excel, all works without issue.
However, when I open the workbook in Excel Services, the data refresh fails; External Data Refresh Failed - An error occurred while accessing the application id from Secure Store Service.
Can anyone tell me what the conditions are that would cause this?
Thank you!

Hi Bob,
Whats up, how are you? Do you want to send me an email or give me a call, Ill send you a copy of our Book Business Intelligence in SharePoint 2013 and walk through the Excel Services Issue..
Take the Application ID and add it to the Excel Services Service Application, Global Settings, Application ID.
While still in Global Settings Set the File Access Method to Process Account
Please make sure the Library you are using for the Excel Workbook, and the Data Connection Library are both in a trusted locations.
In the ODC File make sure you have set Data Connection Authentication to None and specify in Excel to Always use this Office Data Connector
Cheers,
-Ivan
