Add-in Excel - query disconnected

I installed on a virtual PC :
- windows server 2003
- Oracle DB 10.1.0.2
- Database patch 10.1.0.4
- Global schema (sample schema for OLAP)
and I am using Excel Spreadsheet version 10.1.2.0.36 to connect to OLAP cube.
I can connect to the cube and play with it, but get regulary disconnected with BIA-4018 Error.
Does anyone knows the cause of this error ?
Thanks
Cedric

I would appreciate some help on the same topic as described above.
I have installed
Oracle Database 10g 10.1.0.2.0
- PatchSet 1 - 10.1.0.3.0
- BI Common Schema from "BI Samples" (version 10.1.2.0.0_c in version.txt)
- Interim Patch - Olap Patch for 10.1.0.3.0 (1010310408050001)
- Oracle ODBC Driver 10.1.0.3.1
When running Oracle BI Spredasheet Add-In (build 10.1.2.0.36) I open
samples.xls and connect to my 10g database as CSL_OLAP user,
connection is successfull but refresh of any query in XLS fails
with message: BIA-4018 (failed to refresh query).
I have tried to rename XLS file and reopen it, but error BIA-4018 still appears.
Also when running from Excel menu under Oracle BI "New Query" wizard, the second screen (after selecting layout) will hang.

  • Using a SQL for Oracle in Microsoft Excel Query

    I am having the most difficult time (in fact, I can't get it to work) trying to use an SQL I created in Toad for Oracle. It works fine in Toad for Oracle...gives me all the data I need. I am trying to use it in Excel for users that don't know SQL or Oracle so they can use the query to extract data they need for Charts, Graphs, etc.
    Here is the SQL code from Toad for Oracle:

           )Can someone help me...maybe point out what I'm doing wrong.
    Note: I also tried creating this query in Microsoft Query (the simple way) and when I first create it...it works...But then if I go back in to edit the query, and refresh the query or try to Return data to Excel, it gives me a ORA-00936 error message.
    Why it works when I first create the query in Excel, I don't know. But I have to validate the queries I'm creating (SQL or not) and I can't validate it if every time I go into edit the query (which may have to happen; that's why I have to fix this before I can submit my validation).
    Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Okay, I know I'm replying to my own threads here...but I want to add a little bit more information again.
    I was successful in figuring out that changing the :criteria to a ? worked.
    I tested this on 1 criteria at a time. Adding one more scenario ? at at time.
    It only worked up until about 3 scenarios of each criteria.
    Then when I refreshed the query in Microsoft Excel Query, I got an "out of memory" error, and then it ended up just erasing the SQL I had been using.
    Here's the SQL I had where it gave me this error. Am I possibly just making Excel work too hard? It just doesn't make sense because Toad for Oracle handled it in like 4 seconds. Which brings me back to an intial question I had. Can Excel use Toad for Oracle somehow?
    Here's the code:
    SELECT a_compl_summary.incident_number, a_compl_summary.case_number,

  • Not able to add an excel file as data source to create new values in the mapped domain

    Hi
    I am trying to use some sample data from an Excel file to improve the quality of a Knowledge Base I have created in the Data Quality Client. I followed the following steps:
    Knowledge Discovery
    Data Source: Excel File
    Browsed to the Excel File on my local drive.
    I'm getting the following error: Failed reading Excel File
    I have checked the security settings, and provided full control to the user. I'm not sure as to what is the issue here. I
    am totally new in this field and with my little knowledge trying to build a Knowledge Base. But the hurdle stopped me.
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi
    You can add a  Excel file as the data source for a universe,  below are the steps.
    Ensure that the following steps are done before inserting a table from Excel sheet into a universe.
    1. Go to Excel and highlight all the cells that you want in the same table.
    2. Go to the Name box from Insert->Name->Define and give a name (in Designer, you see this name as a table of all the values you have selected).
    3. Go to Designer and pop up the table browser. You have to drag and drop the name you gave.
    and check the SP of ur BO.
    you can use .xls file as datasource but you cannot use .xlsx(windows 2007) .

  • Add an excel button to a standard iview (MSS)

    Hi all,
    I'm working with MSS 6.0 EHP2.
    I need to add an excel button for downloading the content from a table of a standard scenario of MSS.
    Do you know if there is a way to do it??
    I'm talking about ECM (compensation) scenarios.

    I don't know where you are getting these tutorials, but they sound like they are very, very old. Along with not using AS2, you shouldn't be using scenes. Scenes are a left over method from the very earliest versions of Flash.
    The objective in preloading content is that you are loading in new content before the user needs it. If you are doing this loading well, the user will not know that the operation went on. Any sort of loading screen should only be seen if the user calls for content that has not loaded yet. Your design objective should be to show something to the user as quickly as possible when the user hits your site. Load in your additional content and then let the user experience your site.
    If you create a button on the stage in the same frame as your preloader object and name that button "enter_btn", then the code that you've shown above should do what you want.
    I haven't used AS2 in many years. I don't remember a lot about its syntax, but from what I read of your code, it looks like you are measuring the loading of the file that contains the preloader object. This methodology can lead to a problem. When Flash begins working, a certain amount of the movie has to load before anything is seen on the screen. This means that the loading telltale that you have set up in your code will never show "0%", and probably not even "50%".
    Here's a good tutorial that uses AS3 and fully explains the code and how the loader operates: http://flashexplained.com/preloaders/basic-loading-bar-preloader/
    Here's another: http://www.republicofcode.com/tutorials/flash/as3preloader/
    And here's a third: http://flashexplained.com/preloaders/making-the-complete-internal-preloader-in-flash-8-wit h-a-loading-bar-and-mathematical-preloaders/
    Take a look at those examples and compare and contrast their methods.

  • Hyperion Workspace Financial Reporting Export to Excel Query-Ready Missing

    Hyperion Workspace Financial Reporting Export to Excel "Query-Ready" option is Missing in the dropdown when you go to File>Export>Excel
    Only the "Fully Formatted" option is available.
    From what I recall this option for a "query-ready" export should be available from the HTML preview?
    Is there something in configuration that needs to be enabled or something that needs to be checked on to get this option?
    We are running 11.1.1.3
    The Query-Ready option is available when exporting forms in Planning.
    When opening Financial Reports in Smartview the option for "Query-Ready" is available.
    For some reason this is not showing up in workspace, does it not exist in 11.1.1.3? Is this a bug?
    TIA

    Hi,
    The option to export the financial report output in "Query-Ready" format is actually at the bottom right hand corner of the report page (look at the report footer) instead of File>Export>Excel.
    Hope this helps

  • Translating Excel query into flat file(.CSV)

    Hi,

    To be more clear i have an excel query but  my client requires this query to be displayed in a Flat file format. Can someone explain me how i can acheive this.
    Thanks

    Hi All,
    Thanks for all the information provided by i missed mentioning one point, actually thse queries are to be automatically schedule. the requirement is like this i need to bring to extract data and build queries export it as a .CSV file these queries are not end user queries so they have to be automatically scheduled and will be picked up by an interface so they do some mapping with the .CSV file we provide.
    So we decided to do it in Reporting Agent in Excel format and automate it and send the file to a specific location from where the Interface team can pick it. which doesnt need an user to run the query.
    so can someone tell me if i can automate a query and as well as have the query in .CSV format?? I hope i was clear
    Thanks.

    Hello everyone,

    One way is to export your Excel worksheet to HTML and save to your local site folder.
    Link your DW page to the Excel.html page.
    Or bring Excel.html into parent page with an inline frame (iframe).

  • Help with data mining add ins-excel 2010

    I've wasted hours of my life now trying to figure out how to establish a connection on the data mining add in on excel 2010.  I have installed and re-installed the microsoft sql server 2012 express multiple times and don't understand what it takes
    to get this to work...Do I need SQL server and why? Do I need to download the adventureworks data file and why?  (For some reason I was able to download it properly on my first sql server install, but when I went to work the data mining connection it
    said the SQL browser must be connected...What???...I thought it was connected...there are no instructions on how that is fixed...Now I have reinstalled sql 2012 but can't download adventureworks...it says it can't
    establish a connection...I am beyond the point of frustration)...I'm not a developer or know anything about code/programming, so a lot of the lingo is way over my head anyway when I am searching for troubleshooting solutions...I just want to be able to use
    this feature in excel and it is upsetting me that I can't get it to work.  I have followed step by step instructions, watched youtube videos, etc...nothing doing...If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi Vamshi,
    You can not create extra buttons in Standard Query region.
    Alternatively you can create your custom region for the search and there you can add a button. If you don't need advanced region, you can create the custom region in place of standard one.

    Hai all,
    Kindly advise me how to add the new fields in report which has already created via ABAP-Query programming.
    Regards,

    What kind of report? Usually, you have to add the field in the table declaration and then also in the SQL query. After that, include the field in what kind of report you are using.
