BI dashboard failure

Hi,
I just installed BI EE, and logged in as Administrator. The dashboard returned failure after searching for a miniute. See the message below.
==============BEGINNING of MESSAGE=========================
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
Error Details
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 12154, message: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified at OCI call OCILogon. [nQSError: 17014] Could not connect to Oracle database. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT Calendar."Calendar Month Name" saw_0, Calendar."Calendar Year" saw_1 FROM SH WHERE Calendar."Calendar Month Desc" = VALUEOF(maxMonthDesc) ORDER BY saw_0, saw_1
==============END of MESSAGE==============================
It looks like BI server can not resolve TNS name. in Microsoft Data source administrator, there are two data sources under System DSN tab. One is AnalyticsWeb with driver "Oracle BI server", the other is SH with driver "Oracle in ORACLE_HOME".
SH has been tested to have a successful ODBC connection.
AnalyticsWeb has been configured and connected to BI server, the Oracle SH has been edited for user/password.
I think BI dashboard is using AnalyticsWeb as data source, if so I don't understand why it can not resolve connect identifier. Curiously, when I click "edit.." for Oracle SH, it only allows me to specify user/password, not TNS name. is that a problem?
Anyway, how do I get BI dashboard running correctly?
Appreciate any feedback.
So it looks like BI server is not using the connection

I first tried to set up the demo connecting to a repository on my Sun server. I could not get BI to connect although the ODBC connection to SH worked in sqlplus.
After several days of trying to resolve the problem, I installed a default ORCL on my windows workstation and reconfigured ODBC SH connection to connect to the ORCL instance with U/PW of SH/SH. Worked immediately. So, I conclude that the demo will only work with a windows repository in an instance named ORCL.

Memory Test Failure:

I was digging in my computer drawers for a plastic thing to hold one of my SD cards, and then I found a RAM chip that is 512MB. I need lots of these for the imacs, but I tried to install it, and it didn't work......
It is a Dell Memory. Make your next upgrade Dell Certified Memory. and there is also the sticker with the M with the circle around it and the small OS9-style font and a bar code.
It came with one of my imacs!!!!! It was inside it already. I don't remember if I took it out before or after one of the imacs stopped functioning. (also...could that be the cause of the damage of my first 500mhz imac??????)
I put it in a dark blue 400mhz imac and it has 10.3.9 and 9.2.2 but I have it set to boot into 9.2.2 and it said "Memory Test Failure" or something like that. Everything booted successfully. And then I went to System Profiler. And it did not say 512MB.
My very first mac was a power mac g3 and it had issues. I thought it would be any number of things. I dismantled it. While I did not have any 512 modules (I want and need lots of them) I decided, reluctlantly, to put in some of the 256mb modules in the imac. And...
One of the modules caused the imac to never boot. I took that one out. I put another one of them in and instead of the chime, it there was a sound that was similar length, but it sounded like a common stand-alone analog television not recieving any signals. That static noise with the white "snow"?? It sounded like that. "BZZZZ"!! I took that one out. There are two 256mbs, but I want 2 512mbs,
and...
THAT is what was wrong with the power mac G3?!?!?!?!?!?! I already took it apart, thinking there wasn't anything easily fixable on it!!!! }=S I guess I will put it together again... But that won't happen until I have some more RAM chips... I do not like 64 mb and 128 mb chips. }=S
All 4 of the 256mbs were functioning. I bought them as used, and it said that it will fit in g3s. Why are 2 of the 256mbs not functioning any more???? I once had Tiger on Power Mac g3. It is a blue and white g3. Could Tiger's Dashboard have zapped the ram chips??!!!!!!!
Anyways, for every imac, I would like 2 512 modules. Which ones will work??? Ones that are certified Dell are obviously not. XD
and will dashboard zap the memory?????? I do not have Tiger installed, but if I install it, will it damage the memory????? =S

Which iMac do you have? All iMac G3 models only have two memory slots.
What iMac do you have?

You could buy an external DVD drive. It needs to be firewire and bootable by Mac OS. If you have another PPC with firewire, you could try target Disk mode and installed tiger that way.
You need to figure out the level of your firmware before installing 10.2 or greater. ( The PC name for firmware is BIOS. ) Installing 10.2 with a down level firmware will most likely make your iMac unusable and difficult to fix.

Time Machine Hard Drive Failure

I am using a Western Digital HD (180 GB) for my Time Machine Backups. Recently, when I open the disk to check on what's on it, the older backups have disappeared, and when I attempt to do a Time Machine backup, it tells me I don't have enough space on the drive to do one.
I had deleted a bunch of previous backups, and I know there is enough space on the disk. And even if there wasn't, I can't delete anything if it doesn't show up in the finder.
Help, please. Thank You!

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
FIrst, why did you delete old backups?
Second, how do you know there's enough space on the TM disk? How much is there, and how much does it need?
Third, you should not delete or change anything of TM's via the Finder. You can hopelessly choke your Mac, and perhaps render your backups useless.
Please supply a little history: when was your last successful backup?
Have any of the following happened lately: new disk or logic board; a full restore; a major update of OSX (or anything else sizeable)?
Also, download the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget from: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/timemachinebuddy.html. It shows the messages from your logs for one TM backup run at a time, in a small window. Navigate to the first failure, then copy and post the messages here (be sure to get them all, as sometimes they overflow the small window).

BODS 3.1 :SMTP configuration to send email for success or failure of job

Hi.
This is further to this post : http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1965129&tstart=0
Thanks to all for the help.
I did not find a complete set of information as things to do (for a person who is new to BODS).
Hence sharing the workflow which works for me when tested on a simple workflow :
Pre-requisite : SMTP service to be made available on the BODS server and port 25 to be opened up.
This is done by the IT dept of the company.
When smtp service is activated and port 25 is opened up, telnet IP address 25 should say, service is available.
Suggestion : create a email group like : bods at company.com which can be used to be used for the BODS JOBs. Which does not prompt for a password. This also is done by the IT dept of the company.
1) On the BODS server :
1) Click open Data Services Server Manager
2) SMTP settings for smtp_to functions :
Add the IP Address of the SMTP server
Add the email address of the sender. Eg. bodsjobs at companyname,com
3)Apply/Restart the server.
2) Login to BODS Designer :
Create a test job :
TRY ==>DF===> Script for success ===> CATCH script for failure
In the script for success : add the following :
print (' IN TRY BLOCK Before email ' );
smtp_to('bodsjobs at abc,com', ' SUCCESS OF JOB : '
|| job_name(),'Job completed successfully ', 0, 0);
print('After Email ');
In the script for Catch add the following :
print (' IN CATCH BLOCK Before email ' );
smtp_to('bodsjobs at abc,com', 'FAILURE OF JOB : '
|| job_name(),
error_number( ) || 'Error message: ' || error_message( ) ||
'check details', 50, 50);
print('After Email ');
Note : In the catch : select all exceptions on the check box.
Save all.
Click on the job and say execute.
The job will run and if it is successful. You will receive the succes mail.
If there is any error in the DF before the catch, you will receive a mail, which says failure.
The above workflow, when tested atleast works for me.
Hope this helps.

Hi Arun.
Am really not aware as to how to make things work from the console.
I work on windows environment both at client and on the server.
It looks like you got a bit confused on suggestion of a email group account.
I never did anything on outlook configuration for activation of smtp for bods.
I think you should not mess with outlook.
I dont know from the client side how things work.
But i have worked directly on the BODS server where the bods installation was done.
It is relatively very simple to do and to test.
But to even test why you get that error.
All you need is just a email id. Which could be yours ???
Put your email id as the source of email in that box in the job server.
And put only your email id in smtp_to and test it.
Run a test job. If it completes successfully. You will receive a mail.
In the catch, if you have checked all the boxes for error capture,
if the job fails, it would throw a dump of the errors in the email.
Once everything works well and you receive emails for any jobs you are running.
Then you could decide for the source of your email id and for the receipients of your emails of the jobs.
You could put a group id of your team as source. And also in smtp_to script in case you want everyone to receive the alert that the job has been done or it has errors.
Or include only those email ids in the smtp_to whom you feel, should receive the mail.
Hope this idea helps.
Please dont mess with outlook for any smtp activation for bods.
It is not required if you are working on a windows environment.
You just need a email id for testing.
Outlook configuration does not come into picture at all.
if there is any other unix environment involved. I have no idea.
And i really do not know how things would be from a client side to configure.
Server configurations i do from the server.
I did all configurations on the main server machine. Not from the client.
And I have only one job server so i did everything there.
I did not do anything from management console.
I use management console only for monitoring of jobs on a daily basis, the dashboard which gives you details of the data pulled, time taken etc etc.
cheers
indu.

The console dashboard remains blank as per screenshot below. this happens on two seperate management groups on my machine. however, a third seperate environment renders absolutely fine.
However If I use a jumpoff windows 2012 server with the console installed, everything works fine on all three MGs.
I have tried repairing .Net as recommended in this post

And I have also run the VSAE repair tool without fixing the error.
Has anyone else come across this? What could be the cause? I cannot pinpoint a single point of failure as the dashboards render OK via Server 2012 console, and one Management group renders OK from my win 7 machine.
its infuriating!

Restoration after Hard Drive Failure

Hello all.
My Powerbook G4 suffered a hard drive failure a couple of months ago, and every bit of information was lost in no-man's land. After seeking help with Apple, I was sent to DriveSavers. Thankfully, they were able to recover 100% of my drive or that's what they tell me anyway. (No need to scold me, I have learned my lesson about backing up EVERYTHING -- especially when the bill arrived from DriveSavers!) The Powerbook was kaput, so I decided to purchase an new iMac. DriveSavers has put my entire Powerbook contents onto several DVD discs, but so far I have had very little luck with actually transferring and using any of it on the iMac. I have been able to copy document files from Appleworks, Photoshop, etc. onto the iMac, and I can open them and use them with no problem. Although, I did have to go back and re-install the actual Photoshop and Appleworks applications from their original software discs since I was unable to successfully copy the applications from the DriveSavers discs onto the iMac. Still, I am in desperate need of certain Apple applications from the Powerbook that just will not appear on the iMac -- things like Address Book, all of my Stickies , plus the other Stickies that were only located on Dashboard (i was a stickies freak), the emails and contacts saved in Mail, the appts. & scheduling in iCal, etc. I cannot successfully access these kinds of things. I am able to copy an entire disc from DriveSavers onto the iMac, but when I launch the Address Book application from that folder, it just opens up the empty, brand new Address Book from the iMac or the new, empty iCal. The same thing happens with other similar programs. (I think iTunes has been the only thing with which I have any kind of success.) I've even rifled through the DVD discs and gone through my old User folder to the Library folder, then the Caches folder, and finally to the .com.apple.AddressBook folder where I extracted just the Metadata folder which clearly contains all of my contacts. When I try to add just the contact cards to the iMac's Address Book application, I still doesn't work and remains empty. The only way I've been able to look at any of my contacts is to use TextEdit to open those contact cards, and then dig through all of the jargon and piece together the info. It's very frustrating and time-consuming. I would just like for my Powerbook to be reincarnated, if you will, here on this new iMac. Is this even possible? I am completely baffled, and beginning to fear that I may have paid thousands of dollars for DVDs that would serve me better if I were lost in the Sahara and needing to signal a plane flying overhead by reflecting them against the sun. If anyone has any advice or tips, I would be very grateful.
Cheers,
Maize

Showing Oracle 10g reports in Dashboard?

Configuration:
Oracle Business Intelligence Release 10.1.3.4 on Windows 2003 EE R2
Oracle 10gR1 on Windows 2003 EE R2
Problem:
We have to show Oracle Reports 10i in Oracle Busines Publisher.
Resolving failure:
Conversion of current reports to "xdo" and placing them to Reports directory was successful but each report has to be additionally edited (originally was invalid). Beside that editing, conversion generated a lots of packages because all logic is in reports and not in database (sorry but thi si cost of previous programming techniques) so our database will look like a polygon of naming conventions in package part.... And at the end if we accept all that...direct connection with source report is lost so any change to original Oracle report has to be separatelly managed in BI. After mentioned facts we decide this is not acceptable.
So now we as how to place direct link to original Oracle 10g Reports, which should be placed in Dashboards. Any thoughts on this or any additional suggestion is more then welcome...

1) when generating a report you can use a "save in directory" method. Refer to your helpfiles, how to do it
2) copy the question in the report-forum, if 1) didn't help you

Upload has failed. Network failure

Hello.
Since i work with indesign cc, i have a trouble wit folio builder panel: Everytime the upload fails at first attempt, it appears this message:"Upload has failed. Network failure." Ever works when i retried, but not at first attempts. This is unworkable with large publications, with a lot of articles. I´ve wrote that this is a trouble with the acrobat.com service outage, i need a solution.
Thanks. Best regards.

Was successfully re-linking indesign files to my dps producer dashboard. Files had been converted to CC (from CS6)-- and was switching from v26 to v 28. Everything was working just FINE, until about 6pm yesterday-- I had re-linked almost 3/4ths of my files, then I began getting the NETWORK FAILURE notice.
This morning, I tried creating a new folio-- managed to upload ONE new file into the new folio, then got the same 'network failure' message on the next one I tried to upload.
These files are from a successful app-- already in the app store, but it sure doesn't work right now! IOS 7 ... #!#*?
It is not about where your files are-- or how much memory -- Something else is going on.
I know you guys will figure it out...and will be standing by, anxious to fix my app!
THANKS.

Conditionally Hide Dashboard Pages using Javascript.

Hi, I would like to share a small logic i developed to Conditionally show or hide Dashboard Pages based on a Repository Variable.
In the last few weeks we noticed that the ETL jobs scheduled everyday were failing due to various obvious reasons. As a result, Our Dashboard are greeting the users with "No Data to Display Messages". Most of our Sales Dashboards are defaulted to show business health as of yesterday (Sysdate -1). If ETL scheduled everyday at 3 am failes, then the Dashboards show no data. Emails from Users, etc. etc........
For a few days we were manually trying to post some messages on Dashboard something like "Please come again, Our Data for yesterday is not yet loaded........".
I thought it would be nice to hide the Dashhboard Pages automatically, rather than manually posting a message whenever data outage or etl job failure occures.
To do this, I
1. Identified the table that the ETL folks update at the end of every job. This table has a column to say the status of the load (Successful, UnSuccessful) and also a date column to show the most updated load date and timings.
2. Created an Initialization block that would go fetch the most recent loaded date and status of the load values. I set this block to fire every 5 minutes.
3. Created a report with a Date Column and a bogus columns with FX set as the Repository Variable for Load Status. Added filter on the Date as = the repository variable for Load Date.
4. In the Narrative View of this Report, I added the following JavaScript.
In Prefix section:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
var curTable = document.getElementsByTagName("table");
In Narrative Section:
var cFlag = "@2";
In Postfix Section:
if (cFlag == "UnSuccessful"){
for (var i = 0; i < curTable.length; i++) {
if (curTable.className == "PageTable") {
curTable[i].style.display = 'none';
/*var curBody = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0];
var newTable = document.createElement("table");
var newTBody = document.createElement("tbody");
var newRow = document.createElement("tr");
var newCol = document.createElement("td");
var curMessage = document.createTextNode("Data for this dashboard is currently unavailable due to the daily load process." + '\n' + "Sorry for the inconvenience.");
newCol.appendChild(curMessage);
newRow.appendChild(newCol);
newTBody.appendChild(newRow);
newTable.appendChild(newTBody);
curBody.appendChild(newTable); */
alert("Data for this dashboard is currently unavailable due to the daily load process. Please check back shortly." + '\n' + "Sorry for the inconvenience.");
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Note: I originally wanted to post the message on the Dashboard, but there are some issues with IE 7, with appendChild method. But it works fine with FireFox. So I did not wasted any time on Javascript Errors, rather just had an alert message, that basically does the job i need. I mean tell the users about the ETL Status.
5. Finally I added this report in the Dashboard. Key point here is the above report should be added in the Lower Column. I mean if there are six Dashboard COlumns aligned as 2 Columns X 3 Rows, I added the Narrative Report on the 5th or 6th Columns.
When the load status is unsuccesful, the narrative report will hide the Dashboard Sections and shows a message to the users.
Thanks
Sai

Anyone else seeing high failure rates with Meraki MR16?

I'm at a small college, with about 110 APs across about 20 buildings. We'd filled up our aging WCS/WLC 4400 wifi system, and so in January replaced it with Cisco/Meraki. We ordered our equipment in late December, and installed during our Winter break. Thus, our first new APs came live about Jan 10th. We started by expanding our wifi coverage into four dorms, and then swapped out the 75 Cisco APs from our old system.
I had two MR16s fail withn the first couple weeks. Got an email report that they were offline, and on investigation found that they had only the Power LED lit orange. No response at all to the reset button, and no sign that they are attempting to boot (No console port on the MR16, but it doesn't seem to boot enough to give any error signal via the LEDs.)
Since then I've had four more failures, for a total of six out of 105 APs deployed. (I still have a few in boxes to go spots where I need to pull cable first). None of these were DOA, they all came up just fine, and failed after a week or a few weeks of operation.
I'm assuming that we just got a bad production run or something, but have no idea how wide scale an issue it might be. So, please let me know if you've seen a failure rate above, say, 1% on Meraki APs.
Conversly , if you got a bunch of MR16s in December 2013 or Jan 2014, and they are all working just fine, let me know that, also.
Thanks,
Steve Bohrer

I got an email from a tech who had been involved on my latest ticket about an AP failure:
"I've scheduled the software upgrade for your next maintenance window on Wed 11th June at 6am. Alongside the fix for the issue contributing to MR16 failures the following enhancements are included:
New VLAN debugging tools to help detect VLAN configuration problems
Distributed layer 3 roaming (no concentrator appliance required)
802.11k (radio resource management) and 802.11r (fast BSS transition) wireless protocols
Hotspot 2.0/802.11u wireless protocols
Enhanced stability and performance improvements"
He also suggested that I could push it out sooner by logging into dashboard.meraki.com and then going to the Configure > Network-wide settings page. On that page, in the "Firmware upgrades" section was the date the tech mentioned, but also the options to "Reschedule the upgrade" and to "Perform the upgrade now". I scheduled it for early the next Saturday morning.
(These options are usually greyed-out if your firmware is up-to-date. The page also notes when you last did an upgrade; however, I don't know if there's anything that shows the firmware version you are running.)
I asked the tech who sent the above for more details about "the fix for the issue contributing to MR16 failures" but he says it is not public information.
