BI Client Tools by SQL

Hi All,
Please advise which client tools get connected to HANA by SQL
(webi, crytal repots, dashboards, explorer, AAO,AAP)
Is MDX based connection uses SQL?
Is Universe based connects uses SQL?
Is BICS bsed connection uses SQL?
I have gone through below thread, however it states everything connects through SQL
Client Tools and SAP HANA
Please clarify

Hi Sebastian, thanks a lot indeed, a very useful suggestion! I have done what is recommended in that SAP Note, then uninstalled the previous IDT (SP0 and SP1 and all the FPs) - and then the SP2 version installed without any problems.
Thanks again.
Regards,
Sergey

Is SSDT only a client tool?

Sorry I'm a bit confused about SQL Server Data Tool (SSDT).
What I read on internet is: "SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) is a toolset which provides an integrated environment for database developers to carry out all their database design work for any SQL Server platform (both on and off premise) within Visual Studio.
Database developers can use the SQL Server Object Explorer in VS to easily create or edit database objects and data, or execute queries."
But what is not clear to me is: if I haven't installed a SQL Server engine (e.g. SQL Server 2012), how to and where SSDT run/execute DDL/DML queries and store my .mdf file??
What I want ask to you is: Do SSDT is only a client tool or it provide also a server engine for run/execute DDL/DML queries and store my .mdf file??
thanks.

Nope SSDT is a client tool which is used for developing projects. That itself comes in two favours
1. SSDT which can be used for database projects
2. SSDT BI - used for creating BI projects (SSIS/SSRS/SSAS)
See
http://sqlblog.com/blogs/jamie_thomson/archive/2012/04/03/ssdt-what-s-in-a-name.aspx
http://sqlblog.com/blogs/jamie_thomson/archive/2013/04/03/ssdt-naming-confusion-cleared-up-somewhat.aspx
For creating databases you need to have a server instance (database engine) installed and will need to connect to it using client tool
like SQL Management studio and use create database option or CREATE DATABASE T-SQL command which will create mdf,ldf etc files. Once database is setup you can create scripts etc to be run against it from client tools.

Installation of SQL Server 2008 failing - Client Tools

Hello,
I am trying to install SQL Server 2008 Client Tools on a machine that already has SQL Server 2005 (Full install). I select "Client Tools Connectivity" "Client Tools Backwards Compatibility" "Client Tools SDK" and "SQL Client Connectivity SDK". During installation, I receive this error message "A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file E:\x86\setup\x86\sqlncli.msi". The installation then fails. Is the older version of sql native client interfering with the new install? Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks!!
-Theresa

So I tried to reinstall missing features, but I was getting the same error message about the sqlncli.msi file. I tried executing it from the folder, but got the same error.
When I went to remove the items that did get installed from Add or Remove Programs, I got the following error:
"SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
No feature were uninstalled during the setup execution. The requested features may not be installed. Please review the summary.txt log for further details.
Error code 0x84B30002"
Not sure what to do..

Client Tools installs per SQL Server 2012

Is there a maximum allowed install of Client Tools per purchase of SQL Server 2012? I believe we have Enterprise but may have Standard. SQL Server Management Studio Express is not sufficient because of the SSIS limitations. Thanks!

matters is the license to connect to the server SO provided that the server I was connected
to had a CAL assigned to me or it was CPU licensed then all is well, as the client tools aren’t licensed themselves
http://blogs.technet.com/b/andrew/archive/2008/07/14/licensing-sql-server-client-tools.aspx
http://www.scottandscottllp.com/main/SQL_Server_Licensing_Perils.aspx
In short client tools are free as long as they connect to core components of SQL Server – the Database Engine and the Reporting, Integration and Analysis Services – which has correct licensing.

Management and maintanence of 2008r2 developments with 2012 client tools

Hi eb
I need to manage and maintane sql server 2008r2 developments like databases,ssis packages,ssrs reports,ssas native cubes
and at the same time start developping in 2012 tools for 2012 servers with thier own version of client tools.
Questions:
Can 2008r2 and 2012 client tools co-exist on the same development machine?
Are there any known issues with development of any of the sql server 2008r2 components after instalation of the 2012 client components?
I guess it is not possible to uninstall the 2008r2 client tools alltogther because managing 2008r2 developments from within 2012 client tools would automatically upgrade them to 2012 version (as was the case with the 2005-2008 versions before)?
Last and not list do 2012 client tools require windows 7 OS?
TIA for your attention
Rea

>>>Can 2008r2 and 2012 client tools co-exist on the same development machine?
Yes, they can , but you can develop SSIS 2012 to work against SS2008R2

No users available ; no database client tool

Hi,
during a system copy we are stuck due to the fact that we can not logon to the 4.6C system. SAP is up-and-running without errors.
The database runs on the IBM Mainframe with zOS with DB V8. The SAP application server runs on AIX. Since it is a older version it runs with the ICLI-client as interface for connection between SAP and DB2; not DB2Connect.
The problems are multiple
we can not apply a new saplicense to the system (not even a temp license), because we get saplicense connection errors.
SAPLICENSE (Release 46D) ERROR ***
    ERROR:   Creation of license table failed
    DETAILS: DbSlExecute failed with return code 107
DSNT408I SQLCODE = -204, ERROR: SAPLOD IS AN UNDEFINED NAME

DSNT415I SQLERRP    = DSNXISUB SQL PROCEDURE DETECTING ERROR
DSNT416I SQLERRD    = 40 0 0 -1 0 0 SQL DIAGNOSTIC INF ...
We have no high privileged users on the system (they now can not login, because of license problems). Furthermore no password of SAPStar.
A way to go would be to delete the sapstar-user in the database. The problem is that we can not find the tool to connect to the database. This installation works with the ICLI-client, so if we use DB2Connect (db2) we also get the message that ICLI-server is use. So connecting here is not possible.
db2 => connect to T67 user t67adm
Enter current password for t67adm:
SQL30081N A communication error has been detected. Communication protocol
being used: "TCP/IP". Communication API being used: "SOCKETS". Location
where the error was detected: "10.96.18.123". Communication function
detecting the error: "recv". Protocol specific error code(s): "73", "*", "0".
SQLSTATE=08001
How can we logon to the system? Is there ICLI-client tool (besides DB2Connect) to execute the SQL-statement to delete the sapstar-user?
Or is there any other way?
Please help requested. Thanks in advance.
best regards,
Paul Geraedts

How did you copy the system?
Will the SAP instance start? "sapstart"
You can get into DB from the SYSTEM Z side using spufi and DB2 commands.
Find a DBA they should be able to get information .
The first thing I see strange is
[code]
DSNT408I SQLCODE = -204, ERROR: SAPLOD IS AN UNDEFINED NAME
[/code]
If really did copy the table should be there.
from UNIX appserver sidadm run saplicense -get does this command work?

BOBJ 4.0 Client Tools Configuration Help

i have 32 and 64 bit System DSN setup on the server using the 2005 drivers. 4.0 was installed with 2008 Express. i'm not sure if that has anything to do with it? dumb question, should it be set to the db or cms db?
i don't remember configuration being this confusing.
here's what it shows in CMC settings:
Image link
sia properties:
Image link
setting up new connection, i'm trying to use the credentials for the boe140 db. someone tried connecting to the SQL 2005 db and that makes a connection but i get errors.
Image link
created a new connection using IDT and the test worked:
Image link
imported and used the new connection for the universe i need. the test worked:
Image link
error in crystal reports:
Image link
webi error:
Image link

You would need to have 64-bit DSN to install BO. during the installation the DSNs are created automatically. This is what you showed us in the images.
Many client tools use both 32-bit / 64-bit drivers. This helps them to talk to CMS Db in right way. You were using a CMS Db connection to create Universes , crystal reports and webi reports. Please note these client tools retrieve data from Db's other than the CMS Db usually. It is not recommended and suggested to have data made out of CMS Db. You should use the audit Database to know about the activities happening within the server.
good luck!!

[BO 4.0 Client Tools] Problems with using Translation Manager

I have Installed SAP BO 4.0 with SP 2 on a Windows 2008 R2 Server with a MS SQL Server 2008 R2 as repository Server.
I have patched the Server with the SP4 for BO. I have installed the Client tools with the same Patchlevel (SP 4) on the same Server.
The Java - Installation is the Installation from SAP BO 4.0
Now I try to use the "Translation Management Tool"
Login with a BO - Administrator and Enterprise authentification.
Next Step ist to load an object from the repository.
This ends with an error Message: java.lang.Exception: initInstance failed. -2
And now? I have no idea.
Who can Help?
Ralph

Hello Mister Makmerphy,
it seems, that the higher memory limit solved the problem.
I made it in some steps and now I have a memory limit with 3 Gbyte.
And with a last step I've added the last 4 parameters.
But now I have the Problem:
"This server is considered failed because it has stopped 5 time(s) in 60 minute(s)."
And the actuall status is "failed"
Where can I reset this counter.
Waiting another hour to restart doesn't help
System Reboot doesn't help.
Where can I reset this counter or this timer.

Client Tools

I am new to Oracle (coming from Sybase/SQL Server bg)
I am used to using nice Windows client tools to write SQL.
Does Oracle have an equivalent or do most people use the (to me) primitive command-line interface?
Thanks
null

There's a wide variety of tools depending on your environment. If you're in Windows, you should have SQLPLUSW, which is does exactly what you describe. You can also use text editors, and you can set the editor to use by saying SET _EDITOR='path+editor' in a startup script for your session. Hope that helps.

Best client tool to connect to Oracle DB

I wanted to know which should be the best client tool to connect to Oracle database. TOAD is a good option but there is also reference of SQL developer these days.
I hope, my question is clear about which should be a good client tool to connect to Oracle DB.
Please revert with the reply to my query.

RegardsIt depends on what criteria YOU use to define "best".
If your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like nails.
Depending on the task, I use the following, preference in the order listed
- sqlplus
- SQLDeveloper
- dbcontrol
- SQLNavigator

BusinessObjects 4.1 Sp2 Client Tool setup Installer will not Start

Hi Everyone
Have installed BOE 4.1 sp2 server platform on a virtual machine running on Windows Server 2008 R2. When I tried to install the Client tools, I execute the setup.exe program, it launches the run, when I click on runs, nothing comes up.
Any suggestion I will really appreciate it.
Thanks

OK. I think I may have misled you. We tried installing BI4.0 on SQL Server 2012 and that didn't work (not supported according to the Supported Platforms documentation). I just looked at the Supported Platforms document for BI4.1 and it shows the Client Tools should be supported on Server 2008, Server 2008 R2 and Server 2012.
I'll try installing them and let you know. We would like to have them on the server also.

Have a more preference client tools for TT.

HI,everyone,
do you have a more preference client toos,for connectting the TT server.
thus,will be more friendly to compile the sql.
regards,
swain.

There are no client tools on Linux or Unix in general. To get client tool on Windows, download CR 2008 server for windows and install just client tools. It'll fall under your existing license.

Installing Informatica powercenter 9.0.1HF2 client tools on Linux 64 bit

Hi all,
I'm building OBIA 7963 on Linux x86-64but server.
do we have Informatica powercenter client tools installables for Linux 64bit? if not please guide me how to proceed for this.
Thanks
Ram

Hi Ram
please follow the below procedure to install the informatica in LINUX
PowerCenter - Installation and Configuration (9.0.1 for OEL Linux 64Bit)
This article talk about the installation of PowerCenter from Informatica on:
•     Oracle Entreprise Linux 64 bit version 5 Update 5
•     Oracle Database 11gR2
After you complete the installation and configuration process, you have to log in to the Administrator tool to create and configure the following services:
•     PowerCenter Repository Service
•     PowerCenter Integration Service
Oracle Database
parameter
Set the open_cursors parameter to 1000
SQL> SHOW parameter open_cursor;
NAME TYPE VALUE
open_cursors integer 300
SQL> ALTER system SET open_cursors=1000;
System altered.
SQL> ALTER system SET open_cursors=1000 SCOPE=BOTH;
System altered.
SQL> SHOW parameter open_cursors;
NAME TYPE VALUE
open_cursors integer 1000
Repository Account
At least two database user accounts are required to host this repository :
•     POW_REP for the repository Database
•     POW_DOM from the domain Configuration Database
with the CONNECT, RESOURCE, and CREATE VIEW privileges.
For Oracle, you must perform the following instruction :
CREATE USER POW_REP IDENTIFIED BY POW_REP
DEFAULT tablespace users
TEMPORARY tablespace temp
quota unlimited ON users;
GRANT CONNECT, resource, CREATE VIEW TO POW_REP;
CREATE USER POW_DOM IDENTIFIED BY POW_DOM
DEFAULT tablespace users
TEMPORARY tablespace temp
quota unlimited ON users;
GRANT CONNECT, resource, CREATE VIEW, SELECT ANY dictionary TO POW_DOM;
The grant “select dictionary privilege” to the user POW_DOM is only needed to verify the parameter Open_Cursor during the prerequisite check.
Repository Tablespace
Set the storage size for the tablespace to a small number to prevent the repository from using an excessive amount of space.
Also verify that the default tablespace for the user that owns the repository tables is set to a small size. The following example shows how to set the recommended storage parameter for a tablespace named POWERCENTER_DAC.
ALTER TABLESPACE "POWERCENTER_DAC" DEFAULT STORAGE ( INITIAL 10K NEXT 10K MAXEXTENTS UNLIMITED
PCTINCREASE 50 );
Operating System
Login as root
Processor
Verify that the process match the software (x86_64)
[root@di-obia-01 ~]# uname -p
x86_64
[root@di-obia-01 ~]# uname -orv
2.6.18-194.el5 #1 SMP Mon Mar 29 22:10:29 EDT 2010 GNU/Linux
Temporary Disk Space Requirements
The installer writes temporary files to the hard disk. When the installation completes, the installer deletes the temporary files and releases the disk space.
Installer UNIX      1 GB
Informatica Services UNIX      2 GB
Verification of the temporary space with the df commando: Linux - disk free command (df)
[root@di-obia-01 ~]# df -h /tmp
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
77G 16G 58G 22% /
User Account
On UNIX, create a user account specifically to run the Informatica daemon.
[root@di-obia-01 ~]# /usr/sbin/useradd powercenter
[root@di-obia-01 ~]# id powercenter
uid=502(powercenter) gid=506(powercenter) groups=506(powercenter)
[root@di-obia-01 ~]# passwd powercenter
Changing password for user powercenter.
New UNIX password:
BAD PASSWORD: it is WAY too short
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
Port
Verify that the port numbers are available on the machines where you install Informatica Services.
[root@di-obia-01 ~]# netstat -tulpn|grep 6005
The installer validates the port numbers that you specify to ensure that there will be no port conflicts in the domain.
Environment Variables
Use LANG and LC_ALL to set the UNIX code page for the installer.
File Descriptor
Informatica service processes can use a large number of files. Set the Linux - File Descriptor limit per process to 3000 or higher.
In the file /etc/security/limits.conf, add this line:
# PowerCenter
powercenter hard nofile 3001
powercenter soft nofile 2500
And verify with the ulimit function logged as the powercenter system user account:
[powercenter@di-obia-01 ~]$ ulimit -Hn
3001
Note:The limit is set to 3001 to prevent an error with the value 300 during the prerequisites check
Installation directory and Permission
As root, create the installation base directory:
mkdir -p /powercenter/9.0.1
chown -R powercenter:powercenter /powercenter
chown -R powercenter:powercenter /powercenter/9.0.1
chmod -R 775 /powercenter
chmod -R 775 /powercenter/9.0.1
As the installer (powercenter), copy the file to a tmp directory, unzip and untar it:
[powercenter@di-obia-01 powercenter901]$ unzip V26109-01.zip
Archive: V26109-01.zip
inflating: 901HF2_Server_Installer_linux-x64.tar
[powercenter@di-obia-01 powercenter901]$ tar -xf 901HF2_Server_Installer_linux-x64.tar
Change the permission of the file install.sh to execute
chmod -R 744 /tmp/powercenter901/install.sh
Server
Pre-Installation System Check
To verify whether a machine meets the system requirements for an Informatica installation, run the Pre-Installation System Check Tool (i9Pi) before you start the installation process.
You can find the i9Pi tool in the following directory: <InstallerExtractDirectory>/i9Pi
[powercenter@di-obia-01 i9Pi]$ ./i9Pi.bin

The metadata manager console is not installed as in the installation of the version 8.1.1.
Support
The creation of the repository hangs
The creation of the repository can take maximum 2 minutes.
If you don't see the creation of tables in the POW_REP schema:
•     close the browser,
•     connect again to the administation console and go through the configuration button in the left upper side
If it doesn't work
•     give the DBA privileges to the oracle database account POW_REP
•     and try to create it again
Thanks and Regards

Oracle XE Client Tools

Besides the SQL*Plus command line client interface and the HTML DB Web client interface, are there are other tools that can be used to enter SQL or PL/SQL commands to Oracle XE? Are they available for download? Thank you.

Well,
you can basically use all tools that are available as client tools for any Oracle database.
Oracle tools (from Oracle) you don't need a license for are:
- Oracle Raptor (not production yet but stable): http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/project_raptor/index.html
- Oracle JDeveloper ( Java Development environment ): http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/index.html
Besides that you can use any client tool to work with Oracle ( http://www.google.de/search?num=50&hs=MAE&hl=en&newwindow=1&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Ade%3Aofficial&q=oracle+client+tool+sql+&btnG=Search ) and through ODBC / OLEDB even with many MS tools, e.g. MS ACCESS.
Toad is pretty powerful: http://www.toadsoft.com/lic_agree.html
What type of client tool are you looking for?
