Connect/POV/Grid (?) Problem retrieving dimensions from worksheet

Hey all,
I've created a macro that retrieves the data dimension information for specific cells. However, the HypGetDimMbrsForDataCell() function returns an "invalid" error when I connect to a database using VBA. The script works fine when I manually connect the worksheet myself so I feel like I'm missing something when I connect.
Here's my script when connecting my worksheet:
    sts = HypSetSharedConnectionsURL(" URL ")
    x = HypCreateConnection("Essbase Pull - Current", id, pass, HYP_ESSBASE, " URL ", server, app, Db, FriendNm1, "Essbase Pull - Current")
    x = HypConnect("Essbase Pull - Current", id, pass, FriendNm1)
    sts = HypRetrieveRange("Essbase Pull - Current", range("b2:ab109"), FriendNm1)
This code works fine when pulling data but will not for the HypGetDimMbrsForDataCell() macro:
oSheetName = "Essbase Pull - Current"
Set oSheetDisp = Worksheets(oSheetName)
oRet = HypGetDimMbrsForDataCell(oSheetName, oSheetDisp.Cells(Counter + 6, 4), vtServerName, vtAppName, vtCubeName, vtFormName, vtDimNames, vtMbrNames)
If (oRet = SS_OK) Then
    Set InfoRange = Sheets("Q_Test").range(Sheets("Q_Test").Cells(Counter + 6, 1), Sheets("Q_Test").Cells(Counter + 6, 2))
    InfoRange.Value = vtMbrNames
End If
Does anybody know how I can make this work? Establish a grid? I'm not sure what else to do.
Thanks!

Hello Glenn,
... yes, that's probably (and sadly) true.
(Although they should scann this place - and I'm fairly sure they do.)
However, I wanted to make it public here, to give others a chance to try and reproduce it.
My experiance with SR is that a problem (or call it bug - they hate to call things that way) most likely is taken into doubt.
The more folk know it the higher the chance that it will be accepted by MOS.
Anyway - Thanks for your hint.
To open an SR is the next step next week.
Best Regards
Andre

Webi report: Issue Cannot retrieve dimensions from Cube

Hello Experts, We're facing an issue with a partical set of Webi reports in Quality environment. The reports are BW reports based on OLAP BICS connectivity on top of Bex queries.y Below is the scenario and the issue: 1. The backed Bex queries have been trasported to Quality BW system and they're running fine when run from RSRT or Bex analyzer. 2.The Webi reports along with the BICS connections have been migrated to the Quality box and the BICS connections have been editied so that they point to the Quality BOX bex queries and they're testing and responding to the connection successfully. 3. The Webi reports pointed to the Dev Box in the Dev BOBJ system are working fine, but when the same reports for which the connections were repointed in Quality as above, are giving the error "Cannot Retrieve Dimensions from Cube". Steps taken: a. Deleted the reports and the BICS connection from Quality environment and remigrated the reports,connecitons and changed the connecitons but still the issue persists. b.Tried finding the root cause and got the following issue in the Bex query in Quality: There are filters put in the Bex query . All other filters are working fine except 0CALMONTH. We tried putting all sorts of variables on 0CALMONTH, but the moment a variable is put on 0CALMONTH, this issue occurs. But when we tried removing the variable from 0CALMONTH in filters and restricted it to a single value, the Report works fine. However the same is not an issue in the Dev Box and all queries with similar variables are working fine. So we're thinking this might be an issue on the BW backend and the cube might have to be transported again to the Quality Box. ANy quick suggestions or inputs on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and regards, Abhishek

Hi Abhishek,
I am facing same issue.Have you resolve this issue?

"evdre encountered a problem retrieving data from the webserver"

Hi
We are using a big report which takes very long time to expand and sometimes we get the error message "evdre encountered a problem retrieving data from the webserver" when expanding the report, but not very often for most of our users. But we have one user who gets this error message almost every second time he expands the report. This user have a computer with same capacity as the rest of us, can there be some setting on the computer or in the client installtion the cause this problem?
We are using BPC 5.1 SP 5
/Fredrik

Hi,
This error occurs usually if we have huge data in combination of our dimensions.
Even, if the selection of your memberset is not apt to the combination of the data present in the back end, you may encounter a data retrival error.

Problem retrieving data from a JTable.

Hi All,
I've just searched to 45th page of this forum but I heven't found a topic containing infos that can help me.
Well, my problem is: I have to retrieve data from a JTable. I use getValue() method but it seems to work well on all cells of a row but the last cell. I use the TAB to move focus on the row and when it is on the last cell, using TAB, the focus jumps on the next row & 1st column.
Using TAB moving on system, I can retrieve all data but data on the last cell data.
I add another info hoping someone has a solution for my problem: If the focus goes back on the last cell of a row just edited, in this case the data retrieving work as well.
Thank you for your attention!
Bye.

I don't understand your question. I don't understand what using Tab and getValueAt(...) have to do with one another. If you want data from a cell then just use getValueAt(...).
If you want to know what cell currently has focus you use
getSelectedRow()
getSelectedColumn()

SP 2013 Designer Workflow problems retrieving data from Web Service

Hi all,
I am creating a SharePoint 2013 Designer Workflow, and I am having trouble retrieving data from a web service. The web service URL is
http://services.odata.org/V2/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Customers and the problem I am having is with the SharePoint Designer Workflow “Call HTTP Web Service” action URL. The URL I am
having problems with is shown below:
http://services.odata.org/V2/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Customers('[%Current Item:Customer ID%]')?$format=json&$select=CustomerID,CompanyName,ContactName,ContactTitle,Address,City,PostalCode,Country,Phone,Fax
or
http://services.odata.org/V2/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Customers('[%Current Item:Customer ID%]')?$select=CustomerID,CompanyName,ContactName,ContactTitle,Address,City,PostalCode,Country,Phone,Fax&$format=json
The SharePoint 2013 Designer workflow works OK if I try to retrieve two items like "CompanyName" and "ContactName", but when I try to retrieve three or more items the workflow doesn’t work it just pauses
with no error message. The URL that works OK is shown below:
http://services.odata.org/V2/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Customers('[%Current Item:Customer ID%]')?$format=json&$select=CompanyName,ContactName
or
http://services.odata.org/V2/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Customers('[%Current Item:Customer ID%]')?$select=CompanyName,ContactName&$format=json
Does anyone know why I cannot retrieve more than two items from a web server? Am I making a mistake with the URL?
I hope you can
Colin

You need to notice the definitions for makecharacterdata:

Casts given DOMNode to a DOMCharacterData
It only do the casting.

OO ABAP having problems retrieving value from screen dropBox field

Hi,
I am a new in ABAP, and need some advice.
I have a class and in its definition I have class-data: dropBox (same name as in screen) field from the screen. When I create a instance of a class and fill with data dropBox. data is populated properly using F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST method. But I can not retrieve the selected value. In screen dropBox field 'conversion exit' is set to ALPHA.
Tried to do it without a class it works, and I can get data.
Question is, can I do it using a class the way I explaining at the beginning of discussion.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Aivaras

It is not possible to have screen field attribute and use it. Solved my problem of returning value by increasing the value of Defined length on screen field.

Client Socket Problem: retrieving data from my Simple http Server...

here's the main part of the "sending" of data from my server class:
write(b.getBytes());
outtStream.write(version.getBytes());
outStream.write(replyCode.getBytes());
here the server sends the data back to the client...i've tested this on a webbrowser and got a correct response...
now in my client side, I'm having problems...
1) I dont know how to retrieve the data from the outStreams above...
2) Can anyone give me some help plz...or descriptive sample code
here's the main part of the client sending its data first from the user input(client) and then sending the data...(ive created the socket)
input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
output = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(),true);
while((message = input.readLine()) != null)
output.println(message);//sends the client's input to server?
System.out.println(input.readLine());//retrieves server's response
//then outputs it

also i tried adding
input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));

Problems retrieving backup from Time Machine, Case-sensitive HD

Hello.
I'm trying to manually retrieve the information I got in a Time Machine, but for some reason I kept getting an error saying that there were files that were going to the same location were named in the same way. After checking a couple of things I noticed that, somehow, the external HD was Case-sensitive, so I'm assuming that, instead of +File, File 01 File 02+ it's sorted out like +File, file, filE+, and since the computer's HD is normal it's having a conflict with those file names.
That being said, is there a way to fix this? What I'm trying to move is an iTunes and iPhoto Library, "probably" iTunes could be done manually, but in iPhoto there's over 10 GB of pictures and I'd probably take a looooong while to fix it manually.
Any work around?
Thanks!

Hi Adrian ...
Let me see if I can help ...
I'm trying to manually retrieve the information I got in a Time Machine, ...
How? With the TM App or from the Finder?
but for some reason I kept getting an error saying that there were files that were going to the same location were named in the same way.
It's just letting you know that the original file, on the System HD, still exists and wants your permission to over write the original file with the TM file. Backing up your System HD to TM should not have changed any of the original file names. If TM had changed the Case when backing up from your System then TM Restore would have duplicate these files/folders without even asking you.
That being said, is there a way to fix this?
Yes. After you have restored the files/folders that you want to keep you can reformat the TM HD. Or try one of my tricks which is to just reformat the free space. Use the Mac OS X Extended (Journaled).
Good Luck.

I have a LaCie external hard disk. I do not know how to retrieve photos from iphoto that have disappeared. I do not know how to use Time Machine

I have a LaCie external hard drive. I also have Time Machine. I somehow have "lost" almost all my 5,000+ photos from iPhoto 8.1.2. I would appreciate someone giving me directions on how to retrieve the photos from the external hard drive or Time Machine.
The last thing that I did that is different from my normal routine was to trash duplicate music tunes from iTunes. I cannot figure out how that would have caused my photos to disappear.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Marilyn

I remember being cautioned to never do anything with the iPhoto Library. Should I have clicked on the iPhoto Library and then Restore?
I do not know "how" items are being placed in the LaCie external drive, just that it shows a backup running about every hour. I have taken a snapshot of the Time Machine Preferences I would you to see. Maybe that would answer this question.
In March 2011 I had to have hard drive on my iMac replaced. I had been using a Seagate external drive for backups. However I was not using Time Machine. When the Apple guru was helping me restore all my files etc on the new hard drive he was not familiar with Seagate and recommended I purchase this LaCie and use Time Machine. I never had any problem retrieving items from the Seagate backup. It was very straightforward. As I mentioned previously, I just don't have a clue with the LaCie and Time Machine.
I hope this is not TMI.

Unable to retrieve tables from this connection

I have been using Dreamweaver for over 5 years. I have been
using an Access database and ASP the entire time. I am using a
Windows 2000 server for the database and web site. I have used
every verson of Dreamweaver since Ultra Dev. When I bought verson 8
and upgraded to 8.0.2, I began getting the following message when I
try to edit or create a recordset.
"Unable to retrieve tables from this connection, click on the
'Define...' button to test this connection."
I don't know what to do. Is this a widespread problem? Is it
a Windows problem? Is it a Dreamweaver problem? Is it a network
problem?
Please HELP!

Did you ever get an answer for this ?
I am having the same issue but using XP professional.

How to retrieve data from a dimension that is not directly joined to a fact

Hi,
In my case I have 2 dimensions and one fact. I need to runa report collecting data from all the three tables.
I need to do the following.
DIMA DIMB FACT1
FACT1 is joined with DIMA
DIMA is joined with DIMB
FACT1 is not Joined with DIMB.
My report should still retrieve information from DIMB by connecting FACT1 with DIMA and retrieve corresponding data from DIMB.
Please suggest how can I do this .
I am using 10.1.3 version of OBIEE
You help will be much appreciated.

Hi,
I think your data model is snow-flake schema,we can get the data from snow-flake schema also.Pull the columns from both fact and DIMB into criteria.It will display the result.
mark if helpful/correct...
thanks,

Retrieve data from a synonym in oracle database through db connect

Hi Everyone,
I have created certain synonym for some tables in oracle. I want to retrieve data from it through db connect but where through source system and then selecting database tables, only tables and views are available.
Synonyms are not available to create data sources and retrieve the data from it. Why is it so. Is this a limitation of db connect.
Can anyone please let me know about it.
Thanks,
Joshua.

Hi,
You want to import data from an external Oracle database into your BW 3.X. To do this, you can connect the external database to the BW 3.X release as a source system using the external database connect. BW 3.X here represents BW 3.0, BW 3.1 and BW 3.5 because in other (DB relevant) parts, all 3 versions are based on the same source code.
General information
The above function allows you to load data from an external Oracle database (not a BW database) into your BW 3.0 system.
There may also be constellations which cannot be used directly through the DB Connect access. However, it should be possible to find an adequate, customer-specific solution for most of these scenarios.
In such situations, the resulting work falls into the area of Consulting and cannot be handled via Support.
Successful implementation of a connection requires corresponding expertise and experience in the use of the source database in the areas:
 - Tools
 - SQL syntax
 - DB-specific functions
Corresponding knowledge of the source application is also required to ensure that semantically relevant data arrives in the BW system.
Procedure
You should execute the following steps to connect the source system (Q) to the BW system (BW):
Installing the client software on an BW application server
 Of course, you only need to install the client software if you are using BW with a non-Oracle database.
 Use the Oracle setup program on the database CD (runInstaller on Unix) to start the OracleInstaller. Follow the program instructions and the DB installation instructions to install the Oracle Client software on BW.
Testing connection setup from BW to Q
 After you install the client software on BW, try to set up a connection from BW to the server on Q. You may need to adjust the tnsnames.ora or sqlnet.ora files for this, to introduce the Oracle systems (to which contact should be made) to BW. You can test the connection by executing the command "tnsping QDB" on BW to check whether the client has established contact to the QDB database on the Q system.
Creating a separate U user in Q
 We recommend that you create a separate U user in Q for connection to BW. This means that authorization and administration questions can be solved centrally.
Displaying data sources in Q for the U user
 To provide U data for users other than U, you can create views on other user tables as user U:
 CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW viewname AS
 SELECT * FROM QDB.tablename
 You may have to grant SELECT privileges to user U in the QDB schema:
 GRANT select ON QDB.tablename TO U
 Of course, you can also restrict or reformat data in the view arrangement (for example, change from internal date format into the SAP date format). JOIN operations using several tables are also available.
 !!! Synonyms do not yet work!!!
 Synonyms that you can create as described below are another option for providing a complete table for the user U:
 CREATE SYNONYM synoname FOR QDB.tablename
 !!! Synonyms do not (yet) work!!!
 After you have displayed the require data for user U, you can simply use
 SELECT * FROM <view or table>
 on the Q system to check which data is returned.
 You can now open a link to Q as user U in the BW system with SQLPLUS and check, using the same SELECT, whether this data is also seen in the Oracle client. If this is not the case, there is probably a connection problem.
Creating a connection from BW to Q in BW
Including data sources of user U user in Q in BW.
Solution
Supported BW, Basis and BW 3.0B database versions, Basis 6.20 Support Package 2 (or higher)
 Oracle 8.1 (or higher, see below)
Possible problems
- Synonyms do not (yet) work!
Up to now, only tables and views have been used as data sources for the DB Connect from the R3 Basis. As soon as synonyms are also used in the Basis, you will be able to convert created views (or even replicated tables) to synonyms as a workaround.
With Basis 6.40 at the earliest, therefore as of BW 3.5, you will also be able to use synonyms. Until then, the following will help:
CREATE VIEW <view_on_synonym> AS SELECT * FROM <synonym>
- The source DB must have at least the release version of the BW DB.
Oracle only ensures the support of client-server links if the version of the client is not higher than that of the server. So if BW has Oracle version 8.1 and, as in the case of Dbconnect, is run as a client against the server of the source database, the source database must have at least release Oracle 8.1 or higher.
Of course, you have the option to install the Oracle client software of a lower version and then use this for the DB connect. This is also the procedure used to work with a DB connect on external databases of other vendors.
Furthermore, the implementation of the DBconnect function in BW uses SAP Basis functions. Specifications of Oracle 8.1 database catalogs are used here. The source database must therefore have at least Version 8.1.
- Oracle Client Software Version
If you want to connect from an Oracle BW DB to an Oracle source DB, for the DB connect you naturally use the client software that you already installed on each application server.
If you want to connect from a non-Oracle BW DB to an Oracle source DB, check item 3 of note 521230 to see which Oracle client software version is released with your BW R3 kernel and use this version.
- Date and time fields in Oracle and their conversion into SAP-compatible column formats
Example with a DATE field:
Since a SAP table does not have a DATE field (date values are NUMC(8) and time specifications are NUMC(6)), we will use the Oracle DBA_TABLES system table as an example.
 SQL> desc dba_tables;
The Oracle DBA_TABLES system table has a LAST_ANALYZED field. This is a DATE type field and is recognized as a date field of 7 characters by DBA_CONNECT. However, the import does not work because the DATE is a 7-byte conglomerate of "...century, year, month, date, hour, minute and second." (extract from the Oracle documentation).
To make this DATE field legible for DB connect, you must use the TO_CHAR function in a VIEW. This should display the following examples:
SQL> select LAST_ANALYZED from dba_tables
 where table_name like 'RS%' and rownum < 10 ;
The formatting used here is the default used implicitly by SQLPLUS.
SQL> select to_char(LAST_ANALYZED,'YYYYMMDD') as dat from dba_tables where table_name like 'RS%' and rownum < 10 ;
The result now has the SAP compatible format YYYYMMDD and should be loaded correctly by the DB connect as a date.
SQL> select to_char(LAST_ANALYZED,'HH24MISS') as tim from dba_tables where table_name like 'RS%' and rownum < 10 ;
The result now has the SAP compatible format HHMMSS and should be loaded correctly by the DB connect as a time.
You can use the following example for more detailed experiments:
SQL> select to_char(
 TO_DATE('03-FEB-2001 04:05:06','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),
 'YY-MM-DD HH24-MI-SS') as datim from dual;
with the result:
DATIM
01-02-03 04-05-06
When you create a VIEW and use the TO_CHAR function (or other functions), you should easily be able to avoid problems with the interpretation of date/time specifications (and other reformatting).
Details about the functions and the formats are contained in the Oracle documentation.
- Special characters
A words that contain special characters can only be imported correctly if the code pages in BW and in the source system are identical. If the code pages are not the same, DB Connect can be used if the characters to be imported appear under the first 127 characters of the character set.
The use of multibyte code pages in the source system for saving data using character sets with more than 256 characters (Kanji, Katakana, Hiragana, Korean, Chinese, Tagalog, Khmer, Arabic, Cherokee, and so on) can cause the characters to become corrupt.
For questions concerning the code pages, also refer to the FAQ note 606359 and question/answer 19 that appears there.

 ixSpec.setPropertyValue("Name", "Test_RFC");
 RecordFactory rf = ix.getRecordFactory();
 MappedRecord importParams = rf.createMappedRecord("INPUT");
 IFunction function = con.getFunctionsMetaData().getFunction("Test_RFC");
 IStructureFactory structureFactory = ix.retrieveStructureFactory();
 IRecordSet table = (IRecordSet) structureFactory.getStructure(function.getParameter("I_PA0002").getStructure());
 importParams.put("PERNR", "123456");
 MappedRecord output = (MappedRecord) ix.execute(ixSpec,importParams);
 Object rs = null;
 try{
 Object result = output.get("I_PA0002");
 if(result == null){
 rs = new String ("Error");
 response.write("RS1: " +rs+ " ");
 else
 if(result instanceof IRecordSet){
 rs = (IRecordSet) result;
 response.write("RS2: " +rs+ " ");
 else{
 response.write("RS3: " +rs+ " ");
 catch(Exception e){
 response.write("Error " + e.getMessage()+ " ");
 catch(Exception e){
 response.write("Connection to SAP system failed ");
 if(con == null){
 response.write("Connection is null ");
 else{
 response.write("Connection succsesful ");
 catch(Exception e){
 response.write("Exception occured ");
 try{
 con.close();
 response.write("Connection closed ");
 catch(Exception e){
 response.write("Could NOT close connection ");
The result should be all data stored on the person which I search for, but instead i get the following result:

RS2: com.sapportals.connectors.SAPCFConnector.execution.structures.RecordSetWrapper@24648563
I am really stuck and do not know how to solve the problem. I appreciate any help or sample (or just some answers...)
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
From your code you are just displaying the object rs. You have to handle the display of each record the way you want it(as a table).
You can find a sample code how to build a table from the result object at the following link
