Connect with a source Data

Hi all
I want to create an App that it looks like as Contoso App, which allows to collect data from a source, and show it in Excel app.
I've saw videos and material about how to show info in Excel.
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Hi Red Chromium,
In general, we currently do not support write back to Excel. The app you listed only uses Excel to support the UI. Therefore, things like what the item is? e.g. a boiler, and what kind of cleaning is needed? e.g. hose down or scrubbing, along with the corresponding
image is saved within the Excel sheet. This is what is visible on the left and right bar of the image capture screen.
Now when the images are captured, along with the location and type of cleaning required, this data is saved in a Collection and not the Excel file. One could then leverage
LoadData()
and
SaveData() to save out this data from the collection and load it back when the time arises.
Hope this helps clear things up for you?
Many thanks.

Hi Joe;
I appreciate you taking time to answer my question.
By client do you mean my JRE? I one JRE set in my JAVA_HOME, and two in the weblogic install. How can I tell which is WebLogic using? So, you are basically saying make sure my Oracle JDBC drivers wherever they are in WebLogic should match what I have in my JRE?
I'll give that a shot when I get into work tomorrow.
I am puzzled because it has been working fine for weeks and I haven't changed anything.

Hi,
As far as I know you will need to use Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) or Oracle Big Data connectors
Some sites:
Oracle Data Integrator Enterprise Edition 12c | Data Integration | Oracle

Lost connection with the cloud

Curious, if my StorSimple solution loses internet connection and cannot communicate with the cloud, what would the expected behavior be? Will my volumes go offline or will I still have use of my local data? What happens if a cloud snapshot is in progress?

The StorSimple device tiers old data from the local tiers to Azure. If the device loses connection with Azure, the data on the local disks is accessible to hosts. However, if a block of data which is present on the cloud is requested by the host,
the device retries getting the data. If the data cannot be retrieved within 4 minutes, the volume/lun will be put in an offline state. If the connection is established within the 4 minute period, the data is fetched from Azure and served to the
host.
If a cloud snapshot is in progress the job keeps trying to send the data to Azure and if there is a prolonged outage, the job will be cancelled after 4 hours.

Example:
Imagine we have to select:
1- the business unit
2- the Country
3- the Project

Excel-2007 cannot connect to Oracle ODBC data source, Control Panel can.


I cannot make an ODBC connection from Exce-2007 to Oracle work. I am an expert Excel and VBA user (since 1994) and I have frequently used Excel to access ODBC databases, including Oracle (I have done this with Excel-2003 both with worksheet queries and have written VBA ADO-connection routines). And even though in Excel-2007 a worksheet ODBC query is supposed to be easier to create than in previous version of Excel, my connection fails. Any suggestions and all help are welcome and much appreciated.
DETAILS


1) What is my system? I am using Excel-2007 on Windows Vista x64 and Oracle server v.11g on my computer (all this is on my computer, no network issues).
2) Why use Excel with Oracle at all? I use Excel-2007 to access Oracle rather than Access-2007 (or any other application like TOAD, etc.) because I do engineering calculations with the data stored in Oracle. These calculations are easier done in Excel (I suppose that one alternative to this could be to use some sql or Access to get the data from the database, then store it as plain vanilla CSV file, then open this file in Excel, then do the math (the math involves complex optimisation algorithms), then save the results as CSV, then use some sql or Access to put the data back into the database. Howwever this does not strike me as a quick or neat solution. And after all Excel has been designed to access ODBC databases, so why not use it?)
3) What do I do in Excel-2007 that won't work? I create an ODBC link to Oracle that does not work. In Excel-2007 this is straightforward:

<ul>
<li>define an ODBC connection (Data tab --> From other sources --> From data connection wizard);</li>
<li>define a query on the worksheet -- that's it, this is all!</li>
</ul>

I start with creating an ODBC connection:
a) I choose an ODBC data source type: ODBC DSN
b) Excel-2007 displays the list of the available ODBC data sources. I see in it my Oracle database name and I select it.
c) Excel-2007 displays the Data Link Properties:
- the "Provider" has a list of the OLE DB drivers with preselected "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers". I keep this default selection.
- the "Connection" tab has a connection string "DSN=<my database name>" which I keep, it also has fields for the user name and the password, which I fill with the correct credentials.
- Finally there is a button "Test Connection", which when I click produces the following error message:
"Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. 
Unespecified error"

4) Additional food for thought:
a) In the above walk-through the only data, which I type, are the user name and password, everything else is selected from lists offered by Excel-2007, hence any possibility of typos being the cause of the problem can safely be discarded.
b) I can test the ODBC driver in the Control Panel and it shows that it can connect to the Oracle database:
- in Control Panel --> Admin Tools --> Data Sources (ODBC) on the "User DSN" tab I can see the list of the available ODBC data sources (same list as in Excel-2007, point 3b above) with the name of my database in it;
- selecting the name of my database from the list of the sources and clicking "Configure" button opens a tab with Data Source Name (same as in Excel-2007), TNS Service Name and User ID. I enter <user name>/<password> and click "Test Connection" button. A message "Connection successful" appears (just for a test I enter incorrect user credentials and "Unable to connect" message appears)
BOTTOM LINE


The procedure for using an ODBC connection from Excel is very simple, in the past I have created and used such connections numerous times with Excel-2003 and earlier on Win-XP and earlier. But now on Excel-2007 and Vista-x64 I cannot make it work.
Also, testing an ODBC connection driver is really easy and simple to be done in the Control Panel. There testing the same ODBC connection, which fails in Excel-2007, results in success.
I am frustrated by the simplicity of the problem and yet the persistant error. I have lost now two full days in failed attempts to make the simple procedure work and in searching the internet for answers.
All help is highly appreciated <img class="emoticon" src="images/emoticons/happy.gif" border="0" alt="" width="16" height="16" />,

Did you find the solution to your problem?
If not, I think I may know.
Excel 2007 is a 32-bit application.
When installing 32-bit applications in a 64-bit environment, the "default" location is:
C:\Program files (x86)\...
Excel then launches from this location.
However, when it connects to Oracle and passes the name of the calling program, Oracle attempts to "interpret" the value of (x86) as if
the value within the parenthesis are being passed as a reference. Of course, iOracle doesn't find anything, so the result is (),
and then it cannot return the connection info back to the calling application.
I corrected it by installing Excel in C:\Program Files\, and once launched from that location, it works the same as on the 32-bit machines.
However, at my location, they are FORCING Excel to be installed in the(x86) location.
What I'm trying to discover now is:
Is it possible to flag Oracle to NOT process the embedded variables?
Or, is it possible to assign a variable in Oracle such that x86 = "(x86)", so that the end result is viable?
Have you had any luck with your installation?
thanks,
Paul

Excel SSAS Tabular error: An error occurred during an attempt to establish a connection to the external data source

Hello there,
I have an Excel report I created which works perfectly fine on my dev environment, but fails on my test environment when I try to do a data refresh.
The key difference between both dev and test environments is that in dev, everything is installed in one server:
SharePoint 2013
SQL 2012: Database Instance, SSAS Instance, SSRS for SharePoint, SSAS POWERPIVOT instance (Powerpivot for SharePoint).
In my test and production environments, the architecture is different:
SQL DB Servers in High Availability (irrelevant for this report since it is connecting to the tabular model, just FYI)
SQL SSAS Tabular server (contains a tabular model that processes data from the SQL DBs).
2x SharePoint Application Servers (we installed both SSRS and PowerPivot for SharePoint on these servers)
2x SharePoint FrontEnd Servers (contain the SSRS and PowerPivot add-ins).
Now in dev, test and production, I can run PowerPivot reports that have been created in SharePoint without any issues. Those reports can access the SSAS Tabular model without any issues, and perform data refresh and OLAP functions (slicing, dicing, etc).
The problem is with Excel reports (i.e. .xlsx files) uploaded to SharePoint. While I can open them, I am having a hard time performing a data refresh. The error I get is:
"An error occurred during an attempt to establish a connection to the external data source [...]"
I ran SQL Profiler on my SSAS Server where the Tabular instance is and I noticed that every time I try to perform a data refresh, I get the following entries:
Every time I try to perform a data refresh, two entries under the user name ANONYMOUS LOGON.
Since things work without any issues on my single-server dev environment, I tried running SQL Server Profiler there as well to see what I get.
As you can see from the above, in the dev environment the query runs without any issues and the user name logged is in fact my username from the dev environment domain. I also have a separated user for the test domain, and another for the production domain.
Now upon some preliminary investigation I believe this has something to do with the data connection settings in Excel and the usage (or no usage) of secure store. This is what I can vouch for so far:
Library containing reports is configured as trusted in SharePoint Central Admin.
Library containing data connections is configured as trusted in SharePoint Central Admin.
The Data Provider referenced in the Excel report (MSOLAP.5) is configured as trusted in SharePoint Central Admin.
In the Excel report, the Excel Services authentication settings is set as "use authenticated user's account". This wortks fine in the DEV environment.
Concerning SecureStore, PowerPivot Configurator has configured it the PowerPivotUnnattendedAccount application ID in all the environments. There is
NO configuration of an Application ID for Excel Services in any of the environments (Dev, test or production). Altough I reckon this is where the solution lies, I am not 100% sure as to why it fails in test and prod. But as I read what I am
writing, I reckon this is because of the authentication "hops" through servers. Am I right in my assumption?
Could someone please advise what am I doing wrong in this case? If it is the fact that I am missing an Secure Store entry for Excel Services, I am wondering if someone could advise me on how to set ip up? My confusion is around the "Target Application
Type" setting.
Thank you for your time.
Regards,
P.

Hi Rameshwar,
PowerPivot workbooks contain embedded data connections. To support workbook interaction through slicers and filters, Excel Services must be configured to allow external data access through embedded connection information. External data access is required
for retrieving PowerPivot data that is loaded on PowerPivot servers in the farm. Please refer to the steps below to solve this issue:
In Central Administration, in Application Management, click Manage service applications.
Click Excel Services Application.
Click Trusted File Location.
Click http:// or the location you want to configure.
In External Data, in Allow External Data, click Trusted data connection libraries and embedded.
Click OK.
For more information, please see:
Create a trusted location for PowerPivot sites in Central Administration:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee637428.aspx
Another reason is Excel Services returns this error when you query PowerPivot data in an Excel workbook that is published to SharePoint, and the SharePoint environment does not have a PowerPivot for SharePoint server, or the SQL Server Analysis
Services (PowerPivot) service is stopped. Please check this document:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff487858(v=sql.110).aspx
Finally, here is a good article regarding how to troubleshoot PowerPivot data refresh for your reference. Please see:
Troubleshooting PowerPivot Data Refresh:

Hope this helps.

Problem with the SQL Data Source (Essbase server in Unix Env)

I too have the same problem.
I have setup the Datasource for an Oracle db in the Essbase Server (which is on a Unix Box) using the Oracle Wire Protocol.I tested the ODBC connection in the Server and it connect with the credentials.
But if i choose the same DSN in the EAS and try to connect i get the below error
Error: 1021001 Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server.
I even downloaded a document from the Oracle site.. on the SQL interface in Essbase but i could not find the inst-sql.sh file to enable Essbase SQL Interface on the server. Is this required??
I tried with both the User & System DSN on the server but no luck.
Any help on this will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Posting in a new thread since the old one is answered and no points available to score.

It can depend on the version, it is different for version 11, further information :- How to define a relational data source in (odbc.ini) V11 Essbase?

Connection verification failed for data source using mySQL

Hi,
I having problem with mySQL datasource and getting the above error. This is only happening in our staging server. We are using ColdFusion 8 running JRUN4 and trying to connect to mySQL v 5.1.41. I tried adding DSN from my localhost using ColdFusion 9 developer edition and I am able to connect without error.I know that mysql server, username & password is valid. I can access the mysql also using mySQL gui tool from different pc and it works fine. I'm believe that this has something to do with mySQL driver? Can somebody shed some light on how can I fix my DSN connection problem? Thank you.
here's the error:

Also make sure your firewall has the required port open (1433

you ran the security Wizard, make sure the IPSec is allowing the CF
box to communicate with it, and vise verse.

Hi,
A connection between a source system and a BW system consists of a sequence of individual links and settings that are made in both systems.
· RFC connections
· ALE settings
·     Partner profiles
·     Port
·     IDoc types
·     IDoc segments
· BW settings
Read the following help on creating source system:

Connectivity between BI 7.0 & Thirty party source Data Stage (ETL)

In 3.x, by specifying Info source in the third party Source system (Data Stage - ETL), we are extracting data to BW system. Now my server is upgraded to BI 7.0. Already existing (i.e. created in 3.x) applications are running fine in BI 7.0.
Without Info source how to connect BI 7.0 & Data Stage. What is the procedure.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Hari,
I appreciate for your suggestions, I am doing exactly the same as u stated.
I have ALEREMOTE in the ECC 6.0 and RFCUSER in SAP BI. For both I have kept password 'INITIAL'.
I am giving following parameters.
Target Computer (S server) --> Here I am providing IP Address
System ID(system name) --> 'D00
System Number                --> 00
Background user Source System --> ALEREMOTE
Password for Source System user --> INITIAL
Repeat password                             --> INITIAL
Background user in BW                RFCUSER
Password for BW user                  INITIAL
Repeat password                          INITIAL
and then click on 'Right' symbol and system is poped up with the small window with message
'user alaready exists in SS only continue if profile and password r correct'
Here, I am selecting the button 'Continue' and then
after system again poped up with the window and message
' RFC Destination already exists in SS, Do u want to use same Destination....' and three buttons to select 'Use', 'Check', and 'Cancel'.
Here, I am choosing 'Use'.
After this the system is giving the Error message "RFC User Logon failed, check the connection - BI 7.0", and the screen is of
RFC Destination maintenance. This RFC Destination is of SAP BW but in the right left corner of the the message line, system is ECC.
so, I don't uderstand what is the reason for this error.
Can u suggest me in SM59, RFC Destination (SAP BW) maintenance, on 'login/security' tab for 'Logon' information which USER ID and password I should enter? Currently, I have kept RFCUSER.
Once again I appreciate your time and help.
Regards,
Jatin
