Are SSAS 2012 BI Tabular Semantic Models supported as data source for Cognos 10?

Hello,
As the title states, I need to have an official answer and if possible a URL stating the same. We're implementing a Tabular Semantic Model with SQL Server 2012 SP1 and SharePoint 2013 SP1 and since Power View doesn't support iOS (primarily managers
consuming reports & dashboards with their iPads) at least not on-premises just yet, I understand that's fully supported in Office 365 with Power BI, unless this has changed lately, we're forced to find out alternative solutions and since
our customer has Cognos 10 already deployed, it's critical to know whether it provides some level of support or if there's any workaround to support iOS with the current deployment perhaps?
Thanks in advance for the help.
PS: I'm posting this question on Cognos' forums as well.

Thanks Simon,
Unfortunately having access to SSRS alone isn't good enough, our customer absolutely loves Power View but the fact that isn't supported for iOS is a huge drawback. I've seen this requirement in Microsoft Connect several times drawing a lot of attention,
and now it appears closed, any chance you know what's the current status?
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/738938/power-view-without-silverlight
Furthermore, there's this article as well that points out Power View in HTML5, just wondering whether it might be available for on-premises, perhaps through an update any time soon? Please this is critical.

Thanks again, looking forward to hearing from you soon,

How to use two RFC models in one Data Source for a Interactive Form UI Elem

Hi
I want to use two RFC models (two Function Modules from a SAP Backend system) in one context node of a View Controller in order to pass it as the data source to a Interactive Form UI element. Can I use the data binding mechanism directly or have I to copy the data into a Value Node within the view controller.
Thanks for helping
René Morel
SAP (Schweiz) AG

Rene,
You can create a local context node in component controller and copy the data from both the RFC's to this node, then bind it to the view controller. Then you can make this view context node as the datasource of the interactive form.

SCCM 2012 cannot access distribution point as a data source for OS image

I am trying to path a data source to one of our file servers and get the following error:
I am guessing this is a permissions issue. The path is correct. This is also a distribution point and I have no trouble distributing content to it. The SCCM server is set to have local admin and network share rights to this file server. Any
ideas?

Of course - that would be too easy... had to ask though :)
Hmm, sounds odd. I'm guessing that since you're using it as a DP you're on Windows Server... You might try browsing there in your runline but instead of doing
\\server\share\OS.WIM try doing
\\Server.FQDN\Share\OS.WIM
I've seen some odd issues where I need to specify FQDN but it's pretty rare. I do remember an issue where my own account would not go through even though it had rights and I could navigate. I used a different account and I think after a while
it cleared up. My guess is something got rebooted and it "righted the ship" so-to-speak. I'm sorry I don't remember more, that particular client had multiple accounts so I just switched to a different one and by the time I had to do the same function
again the issues had resolved itself so I just moved on.

Are Multiple (Concurrent) ABAP Data Sources for AS Java UME Possible?

Hi All,
We have a solution which is using a JAAS logon module for partner authentication. for reason's I won't go into we have decided that it is best to use an ABAP data source. We will also be using the same JAAS approach for other ABAP applications in the future. Ideally we would configure the same JAAS server to use ABAP UME data sources from ABAP server 1 and ABAP server 2.
I see there are provisions in the documentation for multiple UME data sources of different types but it doesn't clearly say about different concurrent data sources. IS this even possible? If so is it wise?
Thanks,
Doug

Julius,
Thanks again for your reply. This is confusing. We have an existing .Net logon application where we centrally administer accounts and where users log in. On successful login they are issued a .net Auth cookie. Our JAAS module takes that cookie, does a web service call back to .Net and authenticates them. So authentication is done on the basis of the .Net cookie, not the java UME. We simply need a java ume to allow users to execute the application that invokes the JAAS module. The application invokes the JAAS module and if they successfully authenticate they are forwarded to the requesting SAP application. So the JAAS ume is really just needed to allow various users to run the JAAS invoking application starter. Ideally we'd use the same starter application for users of SAP Application 1,2,3, etc.
So that's where the question came from on multiple ABAP UME data sources for a single Java instance.
Hope that makes sense. Regardless the answer I guess is not possible but you see the method to our madness. And yes it is madness.
Thanks,
Doug

Do look for the dataflow/network diagram for 0PUR_C10 in Metadata Repository - you can find the BContent Flow.
2. plz tell me , what are master data info objects in BW side for MM data ?
Right click on ODS's & Cubes in MM - Infosource Overview - This will give the list of loadable data targets for associated Datatargets.
Go to RSA5 search for the datasources.

How to model a XML Data Source

Hi Experts,
I have to model a XML Data Source. Usually I have to load texts and attributes separately (for 'normal' data sources). But I have only one xml file. Should I design one 'big' data source and accordingly one 'big' info package for all the xml data? Or should I create several data sources for one xml file?
Best Regards,
Denise

hi Denise,
as far as i know,
the function xml datasource is generated after we assign infosource with 'flat file' source system, so if you do it from infosource of master data, then you may need separately as 'normal' datasources. if you want to go with the 'big' and 'big' (datasource/infosource and infopackage), then you can create a 'big' infosource with transfer structure fields sequence same as xml structure, and set the master data characteristics to be update as 'infoprovider' (rsa1->infoproviders->choose infoarea and right click 'insert characteristic as infoprovider', then create update rules for these characteristics and assign it with 'big' infosource.

Local Cube Filtering / Add SSAS database as a data source for another SSAS project

I need to generate a local cube using a fully processed SSAS database deployed on SSAS server. However, I need to restrict the data downloaded in the local cube while doing this.
I have restricted access to the dimension data by mapping data to UserName/CustomData & using
dynamic role-based security. When I generate a
local cube by executing an AdoMdCommand using xmla structure of this online cube, the .cub file thus created also contains the data that shouldn't be accessible to the user creating the cube.
I am aware of
CREATE GLOBAL CUBE statement, but since it has some limitations such as we cannot have DISTINCT COUNT measures, I cannot use this statement because my online cube contains some important measures that use the DISTINCT COUNT aggregation. Plus, when I include
a dimension with huge amount of data in it, the execution of command times out.
So I am trying out an approach wherein I create a different SSAS project and use the existing SSAS database as a Data Source and then carry out the filtering to output the .cub file using xmla structure of this project database. The problem is, somehow SQL
Server Data Tools 2012 does not recognize another SSAS database as a valid data source.
Could someone please let me know why can't we do this or suggest me any alternative approach to implement this?
Regards, Akshay

Hi David,
According to your description, you are creating a SQL Server Analysis Services project, now what you want is using SAP HANA as the data source, right?
SSAS support many type of data source. However, as you can see on the link below, SAP HANA data source was not listed on that link. So this type of data source is not supported in current version of SSAS. Microsoft will update that document when it is supported.

Report Model with mulitple data sources

Hi,
We have requirement to develop report model in 2008 having multiple data sources which includes SQL SERVER 2012 and Oracle database so end user can all the relevant data in one place to run in report builder. So please advise how this can be achieved.
One option I can think of pulling all the data into one database through SSIS and then build a smdl on it.
I heard it might be possible to build Tabular cube and then use Report builder on it not sure which is the best option unless any other solution.
Thanks,

You can use SSIS to collect data from multiple sources (SQL Server, Oracle, etc.) and store it in SQL Server database. Then you can use SSAS to build a cube on that database. With SSRS/reportbuilder you can create reports on the cube or on the database...

Model uses wrong logical source for aggregation

Hi all,
i faced with problem when my model uses the wrong logical source to display pre-aggregated data. I have 5 logical sources with pre-aggregtaed data for my fact table and use two dimensions for mapping these sources:
Dimension "Geography": Country->State
Dimension "Periods": Year->Quarter->Month->Day
source 1 (most derailed) - mapped to levels: DAY, STATE
source 2 - mapped to DAY, COUNTRY
source 3 - mapped to MONTH, STATE
source 4 - mapped to MONTH (only this level)
source 5 - mapped to MONTH, COUNTRY
When i run my request - measure by DAY - it uses source 2, instead of using source 1 as i supposed. Can anybody explain me why?
BR,
Alex

What am i understanding from here is BI server decided on the best way to get the job done. You are having day at source 1 and source 2. But source 2 is aggregated at higher level than the source 1 with respect to region dimension. So as a matter of fact the best source for day is source 2.

Generating data source for a planning area

Hi all,
I have a problem when generating a datasource for a planning area as it gives the following logs.
Activate table /1APO/EXT_STRUXXXXX
Tabble 1APO/EXT_STRUXXXXX was activated with warnings
and the data source is not being activated.
I have also created an entry in the table /SAPAPO/TSAREAEX and tried to activate the datasource for the planning area ,it is saying the datasource already exists.
Can anyone give me a straight solution for this.
thnks in advance.

Hi Satish,
After you generate the datasource, go to transaction /n/sapapo/sdp_extr and try doing a check on this datasource. If you still get those warning/error messages, try the Repair datasource option and see if it fixes the issue. In RSA1, replicate this datasource and then try activating it there and see if it works. Don't create an entry in the table /SAPAPO/TSAREAEX, as this is not a standard recommended way of doing it. Good luck

Mohammed.

Data source for a planning area

Hi Experts,
I have created a data source 9AZDP_APAP for my planning area ZDP_APAP. When I'm creating this data source, SAP itself prefixing my datasource name with '9A'.
I'm wondering is this ( Starting the data sorce name with '9A') with in our system only or with every system.
If it is with every system then is there anyway I can override this.
The reason why I'm asking this question is my data source is giving error " M version is different from A version' in RSA1, when I'm trying to activate my datsource I'm getting authorization error. When I contacted my security people on this they are telling I'm not following the naming standards. They are telling that the data source name should start with Z.
All the inputs on this will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Brahma Reddy

Hi,
Generating a data source on a planning area in APO is really very helpful function we have. this will help us to save a lot lot time to generate cube/rules/source.
Definately, when system generates the data source it will follow its own logic "9A" which we can not change.
I guess you create a DataSource manually if required, where you can follow your own logic, but that is not really consistent as system generates. becuase when it generates, it will check for time char and all based on storage bucket profile and generates.
Hope my information will help you in understanding the importance of auto generation of data source
