Cannot connect to the OLAP source - when Scheduling WebI Report

Hi,
I am confused by seeing the above mentioned error on random days....
Scenario - WebI report scheduled daily:
Some days the report works fine and other days it is not processing correctly but gives me this error message "Cannot connect to the OLAP source".
Our connection is via BICS and it is SSO. Data Source is BW and we use BEX.
Person who scheduled report has admin rights, our version is 4.0 SP7 P5.
Please advise if anyone has faced this issue and if there is a solution, did try the community but only found that the key store was a problem but that was previous versions.
Any help or input is much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Sarat.

Hi Sarat,
This problem can occur for multiple different reasons, so it's hard to give an advice for such symptom. Could you look at trace files from SemanticLayer component (it is hosted in APS with DSLBridge service), you should find clearer errors which can then be analyzed. There is no need to activate logs if it is still at level 'Unspecified', errors have level high enough to be output by default.

Loic

Refresh of Webi in BI Launch Pad : "Failed to connect to the olap source"

Dear all,
I have a Web Intelligence document based on a BEx Query (BICS connectivity via an OLAP Connection configured with SSO)
Behaviour :
in Web Intelligence Rich Client (2 tier and 3 tier) : refresh is OK
in BI Launch Pad : refresh is not OK :
What can be the reason ? In my opinion SSO to BW is working fine because :
refresh in Web Intelligence Rich Client is OK
refresh of an Analysis Application (Design Studio) based on the same OLAP connection is working fine in Design Studio and in BI Launch Pad
Do I miss something at server level ?
In the log file of the APS running the DSLBridge Service, I found :

Many thanks for the update, but a little bit troubling.
On which SPs/Patch level is your SAP BI BusObjects System as well as SAP BW running?

Exception Message: The form cannot connect to the data source. Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'

When opening a form in SharePoint 12013 that was created from Infopath 2013, I get the following error.
You do not have permissions to access a database that contains data required for this form to function correctly.
An entry has been added to the Windows event log of the server.
Log ID:5566
When I go to the log files on the SharePoint server. I see the following error.
Exception Message: The form cannot connect to the data source. Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'
I am guessing this has something to do with the UDCX connection and the database.
Can anyone help me get this fixed?

Hi Jim,
Please check the following kb article when it occurs 5566errro with the UDCX conection file, try the method of using the Secure Store Service to store alternate credentials for the data connection method, or the method of stating the credentials
in the UDC file explicitly.
Also check if it could help with setting sql server as "SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode".

My iPod touch 4th gen. Keeps giving me the error message "cannot connect to the app store when I sign in. I can open the app store and browse it but I can't download anything. I have full signal strength with my wi-fi and safari is working perfect.

My iPod touch 4th gen. Keeps giving me the error message "cannot connect to the app store when I sign in. I can open the app store and browse it but I can't download anything. I have full signal strength with my wi-fi and safari is working perfect. I turned it off and restarted it 3 times now. I have an iPad 2 and the app store works flawlessly with it. What is going on?

Same here on my lpad2. Can access the web just fine from browsers but cannot install new apps or updates in appl store. Seeing a few others reporting same issue tonight so likely an apple server issue and staff will notice it in network monitors and fix it...sometime this weekend.

I keep getting the error 306 cannot connect to the iTunes Network when downloading songs on iTunes. I've tried all the troubleshooting steps from the forums and my technical issues are still unresolved. I have Windows 7. Please help!!

iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054"
Proxies, parental control settings and software, security or filtering software, or a bad iTunes Store cache can cause this.
To address proxies, Remove Internet Options proxy settings ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1490 ) and connect to the Internet without a proxy.
To reset iTunes Store cache:
In iTunes, choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (PC).
Click the Advanced tab.
Click the "Reset cache" button.
Click OK and see if the issue is resolved.
Adjust Parental Controls in iTunes:
Open iTunes.
Access iTunes preferences:
On a Mac: From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
On a Windows PC: From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
Click the Parental Controls tab.
Remove restrictions on Parental Controls.
For more information on parental controls or content filtering software, see iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store.

Domain users cannot connect to the network folders when logged in via rds remote apps

Hi,
recently I setup an RDS farm for remote apps on server 2012 r2.
all users can connect to the apps published. no problems there.
but when users connect via rds they cannot connect to the networkfolders and cannot store the resultance of there work (docx and xlsx files)
all users are normally connected to the networkfolders using a small login batch file handing down the unc path needed. when I log in as domain admin, also using a login batch, connections are setup correctly. It seems to me to be an security issue on the
rds session host.
how to alter this?

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
We use WMI to communicate with the RDSH server. Various issues can cause WMI to deny access or return error codes. Here's a few things you can try:
1. Check if the "TS Web Access Computers" security group on the RDSH server has incorrect permissions in DCOM and/or WMI:
For checking DCOM security settings:
1. Start the Component Services MMC snapin
2. Navigate to Component Services -> Computers -> My Computer
3. Right-click on My Computer and select properties
4. Go to the COM Security tab
5. Under Access Permissions, click the Edit Limits button
6. Ensure that TS Web Access Computers is in the list, with all of the permissions set to “allow”.
7. Under Launch and Activation Permissions, click the Edit Limits button
8. Ensure that TS Web Access Computers is in the list, with all of the permissions set to “allow”.
For checking WMI security settings:
1. Start the WMI Control MMC snapin
2. Right-click the WMI Control node and select properties
3. Go to the Security tab
4. Navigate to Root->CIMV2->TerminalServices
5. With TerminalServices selected, click the Security button
6. Ensure that TS Web Access Computers is in the list with Execute Methods, Enable Account, and Remote Enable set to "allow"
2. Verify the RD Session Host server's firewall allows WMI calls.
3. Verify that the RD Connection Broker hasn't lost its trust relationship with the domain.
4. See if non-RDS related WMI calls can be successfully made to the RDSH server. This can help differentiate between a general WMI issue and an issue calling the RDS WMI provider.

"Cannot connect to the iTunes Store" when using WiFi and Cisco VPN

hi
I'm on iPhone software 2.0 and have a connection to the internet via WiFi and VPN (using the integrated Cisco client). Everything works fine (Safari, Mail, mobileme push of contacts and calendars) but the iTunes Store and the App Store won't. While the App Store keeps spinning the iTunes Store says "Cannot connect to the iTunes Store". Has anyone else experienced a similar phenomenon?
thanks
Message was edited by: samaki

We're having the same issue. App Store and iTunes do not work when all traffic is tunneled over VPN. Yet, other applications like Safari, New York Times reader, Telnet, etc... work perfectly fine over VPN. If we have the iPhone switch over to using split tunneling VPN mode, then the App Store and iTunes work since they do not appear to be sending traffic over the VPN tunnel. I can say for certain that no outgoing traffic is being blocked on the VPN servers since I administer those servers. I also did a packet capture on the iPhone wireless session and it appears that the App Store sends traffic over the regular HTTP port. So it really doesn't make any sense from a VPN perspective why Safari would work but not the App Store or iTunes when you're tunneling all traffic over VPN. Our iPhones are using the latest firmware (5F136). If anyone has any update, please do share.

Cannot connect to the configuration database when App Server is down

Hi,
We had a App Server not come up after a restart.
When trying to access a site we get
the "Cannot connect to the configuration database"
We have now started the App Server and everything working again...
My problem, there are 2 WFE servers with NLB Configured apart of the App Server ....Why wont the site work and why cant i connect to config DB?
Something must be misconfigured? Sites should be connecting to the WFE servers and work if App server is down.
Yes, NLB Points to the WFE Servers.
Any ideas where i can look? This is a Project PWA Server, not sure if that will make a difference but the root SharePoint site had the same issue.
Thanks

Hi Danie,
is it possible that the SQL Server is running on the same box as the SharePoint (application) server? This would be the only thing that can explain the symptoms. Please check following:
IP address of the SharePoint Application server by typing nslookup AppServerName on the SharePoint WFE in Command Prompt (cmd.exe). Replace
AppServerName with the FQDN of the application server, e.g. appserver.domain.local
IP address of the SQL server by typing nslookup SQLServerName on the SharePoint WFE in Command Prompt (cmd.exe). Replace
SQLServerName with the FQDN of the SQL server, e.g. sqlserver.domain.local
SQL Server alias configuration by checking the entries in the cliconfg.exe on both SharePoint WFEs
In most cases, SQL server has nothing to do with the SharePoint Application server role and it is stored on the separate box. My guess here is that the farm started as one-server farm setup and over the time got expanded by additional 2 WFEs, moving
Web Server roles from the initial server, leaving it with the application role (service applications) and SQL server on the same box.
But, I am just making an educated guess here. Can you provide some additional information?
Hth,
Aleks

"Cannot connect to the iTunes Store" when updating apps

This error confounds me ... in iTunes, I check for app updates. The update list populates. Usually asks me for my password first but updates. Then when I click to download all updates, I get this message
"You have already purchased this item. You have already purchased this item but it has not been downloaded. To download it, select Check for Available Downloads from the Store menu" Done that no luck. Sometimes I can update the apps by checking for updates on my iPhone or iPad and they update, then disappear from the update list when I sync. But for apps I purchased but are currently not installed on a device, no luck.

Just posted this reply to a similar question here. Hope it helps:
What worked for me was unplugging my router and then plugging it back in after a few seconds. It was one of the recommendations listed in the Apple troubleshooting forum:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
I've had my iPhone 4 for almost a year and just today I started getting that "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" message when I tried updating a few of my apps. I tried shutting off my phone, I verified that I had the latest iOS, and I toggled the on/off button in my wireless settings on the phone, but none of that worked. I didn't want to reset my phone or sync it to iTunes so I googled it and came across the link above. I didn't think that my router was the problem because my internet was working just fine on my iPhone and the signal strength was good. But as soon as I unplugged my router and plugged it back in, I tried updating my apps again and sure enough, as soon as I entered my password, the apps began updating immediately. Really weird. Maybe this will work for some of you.
Another issue I've had is when I'm somewhere that doesn't have WiFi, it won't allow me to update or download apps that are over a certain size. Sometimes it'll give me the message that I need to connect to WiFi because the app is over certain MBs in size, and sometimes it won't say anything at all and it just won't download. But as soon as I connect to WiFi, it will.

Date error when scheduling webi reports

Hi,
When i click the prompt option in re schedule the scheduled webi report, i got the error "while trying to invoke the method java.util.date.gettime() of a null object loaded from a local variable 'date' "
The BI version is 4.1 SP03
The scheduled webi reports failing and got the error as "Unparseable date: "01/01/1900" "
How to solve this issues?
Regards,
Kathir

This might fix it from the note http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1981477
Create a WebI report that uses a date object in the Query Filters
Schedule the report
Reschedule by manually entering date value which shows only date and no timestampExample: 12/31/2007
Reschedule by selecting date value from the calendar which shows date timestampExample: 12/31/2007 12:00:00 AM
Create a biar file using the Import Wizard and migrate to BI 4.1 SP2
BI 4.1 SP2 BILaunchPad, navigate to and Right click the report and go to “History”
Right click the instance without a timestamp for the date parameter and select “Reschedule”
Click on “Prompts” on the left menu and note an error is produced:This error occurred: while trying to invoke the method java.util.Date.getTime() of an object loaded from local variable ‘date’
Attempting to schedule this instance (as Run Now or Reschedule) without selecting a Prompt value fails with the error: Unparseable date: “12/31/2007”
Using the instance with a timestamp works as expected

Macbook Pro cannot connect to the internet even when others can

Hi! Please help me. We have an internet WIFI connection in our office but only my MacBook Pro cannot connect even when I entered the correct password. My Iphone and Ipad work just fine. It says "connection timeout" but all other laptops can connect. I tried network diagnostics already and it always say "connection timeout". I dont know what to do anymore.

Yes, and when I open the Network Utility it shows a working IP address, and a 54Mb/s speed from the wireless router. It even shows the shared computers from my roomates. But when I try to access the internet it does not load anything on Safari or Firefox ( or any other internet application for that matter). It is completely unconnected. YET, As soon as I activate the AirPort card on the top right where I have my signal strength, it shows on the Network Utility information that there are 'packages' being sent and received, and I have NO programs open what so ever, I have closed everything except finder and network utility... Does this mean I am being hacked, or have some sort of Trojan or something in my computer? I ran an antivirus that my school provided, called Virex by McAfee, it came out clean except it says it cannot read one file.
I tried repairing my disk, and that did not work either. I did the Ram reset like you suggested, but that also did not work. I doubt it being a hardware error. I am going to try to connect it to an ethernet cable to see if that will work. Then I will let you know what happens with that, but that would still not be a solution since I need it wireless, cause the router is in another part of the house.
Thank you for your help, and I hope we can get this sorted out.

Unable to Connect to the Data Source with Report Builder when using a closed Excel file

I am using Report Builder 3.0 and to get started I am using an Excel spreadsheet as my data source. I set this up just fine. I can connect successfully if the file is open Excel. But if I close the file, I get the error "Unable to
Connect to the data source".
This is my connection string:
Dsn=Licenses;dbq=C:\USERS\AMEADE\DOCUMENTS\licenses.xlsx;defaultdir=C:\USERS\AMEADE\DOCUMENTS;driverid=790;fil=excel 8.0;maxbuffersize=2048;pagetimeout=5
Works fine if the file is open but stops working when the file is closed. Any idea what I can do?

Hi Alice,
Based on my understanding, when you keep the Excel file open, you can connect to the data source correctly. But when you close the Excel file, the error “Unable to Connect to the data source” is thrown out.
In your scenario, I would like to know if only this Excel comes across this issue. Have you experienced the same issue when you use other Excel files as a data source? As we tested in our environment, we can connect to the data source whether the Excel file
is open. You can refer to this
article to create a data source again then check if you can connect to the data source when the Excel file is closed.
If issue persists, I would suggest you use the
Process Monitor to capture the processes during the connection to the data source. Then check the result of each process to find the exact reason.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,
