BO XI R2 and SQL server 2005 Analysis services

Post Author: fasttrack
CA Forum: Olap
Hello,
I am new in BO, I am using XI R2 and I would like to know this:
I have to build some reports on Data Warehouse using SQL server 2005 Analysis Services.
My question is:
1) How I have to build this reports: directly to data warehouse or building an OLAP (CUBE) in analysis services 2005?
2) BO XI R2 supports SQL server 2005 and especially in this case Analysis services 2005 and provider (I have seen only provider for SQL Server 2000)?
Do you some good resources where to learn how to make reports on DW SQL server 2005?
Thank

Hi,
If you are trying to create a new OLAP Intelligence Report using SQL 05 I am afraid you are out of luck.
You will need to get a copy of the Productivity Pack (Available for Download in Subscribenet) .
Also, in your SQL Server Sufrace Configuraiton manager try setting Analysis Services to Allow Ananomous connections. This will make sure you get a little further initially. (Dont leave Anonymous on)

  • Creating MS SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services OLAP connection

    Hello,
    I am trying to add an OLAP data source in BI Publisher (which is part of the OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 suite I have installed). However, the connection never seems to create - I don't get an error or a success message when I test the connection. However, if I cancel out of the create connection screen, I get this error: "Your request was denied as you have no permission to access the data.". This is odd since the credentials I am using have admin rights to the OLAP cube I am attempting to connect to.
    SETUP
    OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 x86_64 bit Linux
    MS SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services running on Windows Server Enterprise (32 bit) 2007 SP2
    Windows users are able to connect to the Windows/SQL server via Excel 2007 and its built-in Analysis Services "Other Data Sources" option. Authentication is done via Windows Active Directory LDAP
    QUESTIONS
    1) In the BI Publisher connection screen, can I enter my AD username/password, or because I am connecting from a Linux Server, do I need to authenticate via a different method?
    2) In the connection string, the initial catalog I am attempting to connect to has spaces in its name. Could this be an issue?
    3) Given the "no permission to access data" message I am getting, is it possible I am reaching the SQL Server but need to set up a local database, non-AD account to access the OLAP catalog?
    4) Are there any logs in the OBIEE server that I can check for more details?
    Thanks!

    With the new productivity pack for Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 (Service Pack 2) you can access SSAS 2005 through the new OLAP tool called Voyager.  The productivity pack is due out sometime in the next few weeks.
    Hope this helps.

  • JPA and SQL Server 2005's  Identity Don't Play Nice

    I am hoping someone with a little more senior knowledge of JPASQL Server 2005 can point me in the right direction involving SQL Server 2005.
    What I am discovering is JPA and SQL Server 2005 do not playing nice together when you use the IDENTITY capability for
    a primary key. Let me explain. "...when using the IDENTITY as the generator type, the value for the identity field MAY NOT be
    available BEFORE the entity data is saved in the database because typically it is generated when a record is committed."
    My problem is this.
    I have two separate entities using another entity, for example a car has a wheel and a truck has a wheel. I can go through the steps
    of persisting the car and the wheel with no problem. My problem begins when I try to
    find the wheel (by wheel description) for the truck. The query finds the wheel, but does not return the primary key for wheel.
    Therefore, using the PK inside a query generates this error:
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: An instance of a null PK has been incorrectly provided for this find operation. What has been my appraoch to get the entity to commit to the database is to use the following sequence for the Entity Manager.
    entityManager.persist(wheel);
    entityManager.flush(); I have assumed to this point this action would persist my data because I have been able to retrieve the PK immidately after these steps.
    However, multiple actions taking place within the same transaction, appears to render the persist and flush steps useless. My initial thought
    is to wrap the wheel creation within a new transaction so when the method/transaction completes, the data would be in the database. This
    has not worked.
    I hope I have explained this clear for others to follow. I apologize in advance if I have not. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  • OraOledb, Linked Servers and SQL Server 2005 issues

    Some issues I've come across when using SQL Server 2005 (and SQL Server Express 2005), the OraOLEDB provider (10.2.0.1) and a linked Oracle database (8.1.7.4.0 64-bit)
    1) You must set the OraOledb.Oracle\AllowInProcess value to 1 to allow the OraOledb provider to run in SQL Server's process. Without doing this I receive an 'unspecified error' from the OLE DB provider when attempting to run a query
    2) When running a ' select * ' query across a linked server using the provider, I receive the following error: Msg 9803, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
    Invalid data for type "numeric". I can, however, select all of the columns by name and the query completes (no error). Sometimes the 'select *' query returns a few rows before the error, sometimes it doesn't. The Microsoft Provider for Oracle does not have this problem

    Okay... I've got a Win2K3 Std Ed server (x64) running 64-bit SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition. I've installed the Oracle 10g 10.2.1 full client and admin tools, added two named services via the NetConfig assistant, and successfully set up (and tested) a connection via the ODBC Administrator to an Oracle database.
    Now... when I try to create a new connection manager in SQL Server 2005 Integration Services, the OLEDB provider for Oracle can't be found, and when I try to manually add an underlying OLEDB connection to the database, SQL Server reports:
    Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. The 'OraOLEDB.Oracle.1' provider is not registered on the local machine.
    Does anyone know what I need to do to see my ODBC Server data connections in SQL Server 2005 (64 bit)? I don't have this issue on my 32-bit SQL Server 2005 servers.

  • SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services and OBI EE

    Hello,
    How to use the Multidimensional import functionality of the BI EE Administration against a cube stored in a SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Thanks Christian,
    The article you mention takes for granted that a valid Analysis Services XMLA URL is present, which is not my case.
    I have found a good article on how to configure specifically Analysis Services 2008 here:
    http://bloggingabout.net/blogs/mglaser/archive/2008/08/15/configuring-http-access-to-sql-server-2008-analysis-services-on-microsoft-windows-server-2008.aspx
    The article is the nearest I could find from my particular software platform (Vista).
    What I'm currently dealing with is [nQSError: 64203] "XMLAnalysisError.0xc1010000", which is probably some security setting I have to get right. I will keep the thread updated if I move on.

  • Is there a way to convert Crystal Reports to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 reporting services?

    Post Author: Lourdes Hernandez
    CA Forum: General
    Our department has always worked with and we love Crystal Reports. Unfortunately, certain reports now need to be converted to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 reporting services which from what I read I think they are *.rdl reports. Does Crystal reports have any way around this? I would have to learn this other tool when I'm already so happy with Crystal. I was thinking If I could just code the report in crystal and export it in a specific format that would be compatible Microsoft, the problem would be solved.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Ditto!
    There are some software packages to convert from CR to RS, but none work 100% AFAIK, and will require manual tuning.
    Seems like a big hassle and learning curve just to get reports published via another method - I know I'd put up huge resistance if they tried to take my CR away from me!

  • Crystal Reports 9 and SQL Server 2005 default parameter values

    We're using Crystal Reports 9 and upgraded from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005.
    I'm noticing a very weird problem which I wonder if anyone else has experienced (and hopefully found a resolution for). It appears that in using Crystal with SQL Server 2005 stored procedures, if we have default parameter values in the stored procedures, the default parameter values get completely ignored if you pass in a NULL value from Crystal!
    For example, if you have a stored procedure that begins like this:
    ALTER          Procedure [dbo].[StoredProcedure]
    @Param1 VarChar(200) = '',
    @Param2 VarChar(200) = ''
    AS ...
    both @Param1 and @Param2 have a default value of an empty string, and therefore should become empty strings if nothing (NULL values) gets passed in for them.
    But, like I said, what I'm finding is that with Crystal calling the stored procedure with NULL @Param1 and @Param2 values, they never become empty strings, but rather remain as NULLs.
    This was never a problem with SQL 2000.
    Very perplexing. Anyone else every experience this?
    Thank you.

    Please ignore my earlier post -- answered my own question.
    NULL parameter values do not get replaced by default values in SQL -- that is normal behavior in both SQL 2000 and SQL 2005. Just goes to show, that no many how many years programming experience you have, you can still get tripped up sometimes : (

  • OraOledb for 64-bit, Linked Servers and SQL Server 2005 issues

    Our environment is : SQL Server 2005, Windows Server 2003, 64-bit and 32-bit operating systems.
    Problem on 64-bit operating system box: (32-bit works fine).
    I am trying to access Oracle 10g database using linked server from our SQL Server 2005. In case of number fileds i got the following error:
    Invalid data for type "numeric".
    After going through one of the posting in this forumn i was able to resolve the problem by converting those column values to char while querying and then converting them back to numeric type on SQL server side.
    But today i ran into another problem. There is a VARCHAR2 column. I was able to retrieve the data yesterday for that column but today i am getting a blank recordset. If i exclude the colum from the query then i am getting all the rows.
    I am querying against a view and it has got a number of columns whose data type is VARCHAR2.
    Again the problem is on 64-bit operating system only. We have a 32-bit operating system on which i am able to retrieve the data including this column. I looked at the data and everything looks OK. No funny characters etc.
    I tried workarounds like using cast, to_char, checking for nulls etc., Nothing works.
    Any help is greately appreciated. Thanks.

    Did you find a resolution for this? We have similar problem. Set up a linked server in SQL 2006 to Oracle (running on Windows 64-bit) Linked server works and views I had set up were working but they added some new data in the Oracle test database I am using and now I get errors on one of the views.
    Error I am getting on the view is "Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB Provider "OraOLDEDB.ORacle" for the linked server"
    If I fine tune my queries to find the specific table or view that is at issue, then I get the error "inconsistent metadata for a column"

  • B1 and SQL Server 2005 performance with 3.000.000 invoice-lines per year

    - 40.000 Invoices per month
    - Aprox. 3.000.000 invoice-lines per year

    Hi,
    I'm sure that MSSQL2005 can handle the amount of records & transactions in question. Even MSSQL 2000 can do it. However, any DB engine can be put on its knees with the combination of 2-tier application architecture and badly designed queries. B1 is a case in point. I wouldn't go into such a project without decent preliminary load testing and explicit commitment for support from SAP B1 dev team.
    I have heard from implementation projects where B1 simply couldn't handle the amount of data. I've also participated in some presales cases for B1 where we decided not to take a project because we saw that B1 couldn't handle the amount of data (while the other features of B1 would have been more than enough for the customer). The one you're currently looking at seems like one of those.

  • OWB 11.0.0.7 and SQL SERver 2005

    We did search quite a bit but couldnt get this working...
    We are using OWB 11.1.0.7 64bit on Windows 2003 Server 64bit R2
    We have to pull data from a SQl Server database – SQL SERVER 2005 64 bit on Windows 2008 R2 64 bit
    WE followed the procedures given in Oracle documentation –
    1. creating a ODBC DSN connection
    2. creating a init ora file for that connection
    3. creating a listener
    We tried with both HSODBC and DG4ODBC... We can connect to SQL server through OWB...the connection is successful but I cannot import the tables into OWB. It simply hangs forever. (in the init ora file we have put the HS_FDS_SUPPORT_STATISTICS=FALSE) We have to pull data from SQL server on an ongoing basis. However we found a workaround – we can create a remote link to the SQL server database by creating an entry in the tnsnames. However this connection is very slow – we have to pull thousands of records on daily basis. IT takes quite some time to do this. We have tried different combinations after Goodling.
    Could you shed some light on this? Is it a bug in OWB 11.1 that we cannot connect to SQL Serer or are we missing something? Will it be ok if we go for 11.2?

    Be wary about the differences between initialization settings for generic ODBC vs specific SQLServer gateway, they are different.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/gateways.111/b31049/apd.htm#BABHEBCE
    The installation guide has details in the SQLServer section for when the SQLServer gateway is used that you should follow (specifically under configuring SQL Server Views for Data Dictionary support - needed for importing tables definitions into OWB when you use SQLServer gateway);
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/gateways.111/b31042/toc.htm
    If you have an existing database link this can be used in OWB. When importing the tables you need to be aware that if it is a SQLServer gateway you will need to configure the SQLServer instance as in the gateway doc above). Just because you can query table data does not mean the gateway is configured properly.
    Cheers

  • Freetds and sql server 2005

    Hi guys
    I'm trying to create dblink from 10.2.0.4 database to sql server 2005 using freeTDS. Oracle database is on OEL5, ODBC is installed on another OEL5 machine with database gateway installed and listener started.
    So far everything woks fine. However it seems that something is wrong with character set conversion. I'm getting twice as much characters (character followed by a box character). I'm guessing this is 2 byte character set that has not been converted to 1 byte. Oracle DB has nls_characterset set to 'EE8ISO8859P2'.
    What setting should be set in init<>.ora for the DG4ODBC and freetds.conf?
    I also tried trial easysoft odbc driver and it works fine with these parameters in odbc.ini:
    # Convert UCS-2 encoded Unicode data to UTF-8
    ConvToUtf = Yes
    # Also do this conversion for data passed to Unicode ODBC function (SQLxxxW) calls
    ConvWToUtf = Yes

    I saw a similar behaviour using an Oracle unicode database. In this case try a unicode compliant tool like SQL Developer, connect to the Oracle db with the db link and select from the linked table.
    What is the source column data type and did you specify HS_LANGUAGE in the hsodbc init file?
