BI to Web connectivity: Query designer's query cannot display in IE

Hi all,
I have configured web connectivity and from SMICM if I type the URL in IE it prompts for user/password and connects to BI, however, from query designer if a query is published on web the URL will point towards standard sap.com at port 50100 and IE will display a broken link message.
After a bit of research I discovered that httpplugin.dll is missing from /usr/sap/sys/exe and there is no folder under /exe where the httpplugin.dll is expected to be.
Any suggestion, please.
Thanks.

Below is the URL that IE points to:
http://portal-dmb.wdf.sap.corp:50100/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.pct!2fplatform_add_ons!2fcom.sap.ip.bi!2fiViews!2fcom.sap.ip.bi.bex?QUERY=EX4_TBW20&VARIABLE_SCREEN=X&DUMMY=1

Could I connect the design in Multisim in LabVIEW 2009?

Hi,
I had design a generator in LabVIEW 2009, and now I need to send the output of the generator to pass through a transformer and a transmission lines. I found out that I could use Multisim to design the transformer and transmission lines.
I was wondering if anyone knows on how to transfer/connect the transformer and the transmission lines design in Multisim using LabVIEW 2009? In my final presentation, I need to use LabVIEW 2009 and show to my supervisor the result of the simulation.
Ridhwan Ali

Hi Ridhwan,
Here are the options:
1) You can save the results from the generator to a LVM file in LabVIEW. Then, go to Multisim and use the LVM_VOLTAGE (Sources Group, SIGNAL_VOLTAGE_SOURCES Family) source to open the file, connect this source to your circuit.
2) You can create a VI in LabVIEW and use it in Multisim. Here is a good tutorial:
How to Create a LabVIEW Based Virtual Instrument for NI Multisim
3) You can control Multisim from LabVIEW via the Multisim API. Basically you can create a LabVIEW application that opens the Multisim engine, loads a circuit, and executes simulation. Basically you can bring simulation results to LabVIEW for further processing. More info:
An Introduction to Multisim Automation with the LabVIEW Multisim Connectivity Toolkit (beta)

I hope this helps. Good luck with your application!

How to use relative DSN filename for connection (in Design mode)

Hello,
I connect Crystal Reports to Oracle database via ODBC with connection information stored in DSN file.
I use "Crystal Reports Basic" in Visual Studio 2008 SP1. CR has no SP. Windows XP Pro SP3, my development machine.
I created a DSN file, and in Database Expert I'm creating a new ODBC connection and trying to fill the File DSN.
But, the file name is absolute, and I need to use file name relative to the report file, because I want several programmers and several reports to share the connection parameters. This would also simplify the deployment.
When I try to copy the DSN file to the solution folder and use just the relative path, then a error is reported:
Logon failed.
Details: HY000 General Error: Invalid file DSN
which probably means that the file could not be found.
This problem does not exist in runtime, as the connection string could be set programmaticaly.
Does Crystal Reports accept relative DNS file name?
If does not, are there any other possibilites to achieve this?

If still an issue post your question the .NET SDK forum.

What is the connect string you are using to connect Service Designer, e.g. "Localhost"? See my reply to an earlier question in this forum.

UIView.dll Terminating! error in Designer when creating a BW connection

Impossible to create a new BW connection in Designer without having designer crashing.
In the designer logs the following error is showing !!!!!!UIView.dll Terminating!
Creating a new connection based on any other data provider type does work only when this is based on Bex query then does the error occured.
Customer is using Serveur :
Server is AIX
BOXI 3.1 - sp3
Integration kit sp3
Transport have been imported in SAP
BW version 7.01
Initially they were on Designer BOXI 3.1 FP 1.4 (where it worked) and have upgraded using
ENTRPRSECLNTTLS01_4-10007443.exe
ENTERPRISECLNT03_0-10007619.EXE
They have desinstalled and reinstalled designer and integration kit.
Installed on a brand new machine and the error is still there.
Same error in standalone mode
Tried to test from my machine in standalone mode and cannot reproduced the error.
Customer has tried as well creating connection using ''Use Single Sign On when refreshing reports at view time'' crashes designer, it does not matter what user they use at all it is the same all time.
Same on different client machine too.
Any idea ? Anyone has encounterred the same problem
MDA logs are showing
'Failed to locate the LogFormat settings in the registry. In this case, the LogFormat will use the default format.'
Thanks
Steph

HI Stephanie:
    Hopping you solve that customer's issue, I would like to ask you if you found the source of the error.
     Even I am trying something different than yours, I am having the same issue as your customer.
     One MDA.LOG file is created with the same message multiple times in multiple lines. The file has not other message and the message is :
'Failed to locate the LogFormat settings in the registry. In this case, the LogFormat will use the default format.'
We got a BoXi 3.1 server on Windows 2003 using a CMS database in a windows MS-SQL 2005 server SP4.
Installing BOXi 3.1SP3 the connection server did not start and the MDA.LOG wsa created. Uninstalling SP3 from it, the Connection server start, but the MDA.log is being created again.
Could you let me know if you solved and what this MDA.log means? Thanks

Design studio connectivity with HCP

Hello, I am able to connect Lumira to HCP.
Wanted to check if we are able to connect Design Studio to Hana Cloud Platform at this time?
Cheers!

My only experience with this is on AWS - and looking at the PAM https://service.sap.com/~sapidb/012002523100018972812014E I would lean towards AWS; this is what we used during the OpenSAP course with SAP's Jim Rapp
Looking at this thread here HCP is possible with Design Studio but the poster gave up: Connect SAP Design Studio with HANA Cloud Platform | SCN

SAP Design Studio ODBC Driver Not Found error while creating HANA connection.

Hi,
While creating SAP HANA ODBC connection in Design Studio via Tools > Preference > Application Design > Backend Connection. I am getting error ODBC Driver Not Found. Error screen shot is attached.
My Design Studio version is 1.3 win 32 bit
My OS Win 7 64 bit
I have installed both HANA client 32 bit and 64 bit.
I have tried creating DSN ODBC connection via "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe" and via Control Panel > Administrative tools > Data Sources(ODBC). But it does not detect it either.
I am not sure what needs to change to let Design Studio know which HANA client driver to use.
Please help!.

Hi Rohit,
This seems to be a known bug with Design Studio. Please see the SAP Note below on this.

Unity Connection Integration with CS 1000 and Meridian 81 - PIMG

I have a customer who have (2) Nortel Meridian 81 and (1) CS1000 for their 3 locations along with Octal 350 servicing 2500 voicemail users today. Customer also has a Cisco UCM in their network today which is servicing their wireless phone users.
UCM and CS1000 are networked together using Q.Sig trunks today. Customer is looking at replacing their Octal solution with a new Voice mail solution.
I was looking at integration documents for Unity Connection using PIMG.
In this scenario, would I need 3 separate PIMG 's at the three remote sites and integrate it with Unity connection or Can I achieve this using just one PIMG at one of the sites, considering the three sites are trunked together using tie-trunks.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/7x/integration/pimg/guide/cucintpimg090.html#wp1051831
Appreciate any pointers/ help.

Hi there,
Just to add a note to the great tips from Hailey (+5 Hailey!)
We are in the final stages of replacing our "old" Octel with Unity Connection, part of
which is integrated to our CS1000 and CUCM in a "Hybrid" deployment like yours
Centralized Voice Messaging
Cisco Unity Connection supports centralized voice messaging through the phone system, which supports
various inter-phone system networking protocols including proprietary protocols such as Avaya DCS,
Nortel MCDN, or Siemens CorNet, and standards-based protocols such as QSIG or DPNSS. Note that
centralized voice messaging is a function of the phone system and its inter-phone system networking,
not voice mail. Connection will support centralized voice messaging as long as the phone system and its
inter-phone system networking are properly configured.

Centralized voice messaging provides voice messaging services to all users in a networked phone system environment. Connection can be hosted on a message center PINX and provide voice messaging services to all users in an enterprise assuming the message center PINX and all user PINX phone systems are properly networked.For a centralized voice messaging configuration to exist, a suitable inter-phone system networking protocol must exist to deliver a minimum level of feature support, such as:•Message waiting indication (MWI).•Transfer, which ensures that the correct calling/called party ID is delivered to the voice messaging system.•Divert, which ensures that the correct calling/called party ID is delivered to the voice messaging system.Other features may be required depending on how the voice messaging system is to be used. For example, if it is also serving as an automated attendant, path-replacement is needed as this feature prevents calls from hair-pinning.

"Java Class not found in classpath" Error in DESIGNER

Hello All,
I'm trying to connect in Designer using a JDBC connection to MS SQL Server 2008. As per the instructions, I updated my jdbc.sbo file with the path to the existing two JAR files. However, I still get the following error when I try and connect in Designer: "Java Class not found in classpath : C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\dataAccess\connectionServer\jdbc\Drivers\sqlsrv". Of course, this error includes the drive path with the location to my JAR files. Any help in resolving this nagging issue is very GREATLY appreciated. Also, if anyone needs it I can post a copy of the jdbc.sbo file to this thread.
Thank you,
Pankaj

Stratos,
Your suggestion didn't help. I tried to connect after restarting my machine and I still get the error. And, I've also tried adding a connection to MS SQL Server 2005 using this JDBC driver, and that didn't help either. Any other suggestions? Would it help to see my "jdbc.sbo" file? Thanks again for your and everyone else's help, and I look forward to your reply.

Pankaj

Designer hangs during universe creation against SAP BW

Hi,
We are trying to create OLAP universe against SAP BW 3.5 and we are running into issue wherein the designer just hangs and is not able to create the classes and objects, in most cases we have waited for about 30-35 mins and still it doesn't come back. We tried this for both against an Infocube as well as against BW query.
I have couple of questions regarding the process flow for universe creation against SAP BW,
Does universe stores/extracts any data from BW, like storing LOVs for the hierarchies? I know it does reads the rows, columns, free characterstics etc. in case of BW Query.
The time to create the universe depends on what factors, size of the cube or amount of metadata? The customer is concerned regarding what is the guideline on how much time would this process take when the universe comes back with the classes and objects. If there is any such guideline, what is it?
Any response on this is appreciated.
Thanks,
Amit Banavalikar

I had similar problems, setting the "Connection timeout" on the SAP/BW connection within Designer (default 10 minutes) from 10 min. to 60 or 120. ALSO: uncheck the universe limits on "number of rows (5000)" and "query duration (10 min)".
This solved the problem.
The connection timeout which is set directly on the SAP-BW connection in designer seems to be used in a wrong way. The definition of the "close connection after xx minutes" means that the connction should be closed after xx minutes of not being used by any process.
With SAP BW the connection seems to be closed regardless of it's use after the specified time period.
regards,
Walter

Designer beginner's question: How to populate form with XML web service output?

sorry, here is yet another Adobe Designer beginners question: My form uses a webservice data connection which returns an xml-string like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?> <CurrentWeather> <Location>Sion, Switzerland (LSGS) 46-13N 007-20E 481M</Location> <Time>Apr 26, 2007 - 09:50 AM EDT / 2007.04.26 1350 UTC</Time> <Wind> from the WSW (240 degrees) at 15 MPH (13 KT):0</Wind> <Visibility> greater than 7 mile(s):0</Visibility> <SkyConditions> partly cloudy</SkyConditions> <Temperature> 80 F (27 C)</Temperature> <DewPoint> 46 F (8 C) </DewPoint> <RelativeHumidity> 30%</RelativeHumidity> <Pressure> 29.88 in. Hg (1012 hPa)</Pressure> <Status>Success</Status> </CurrentWeather> What is the simplest and recommended way to extract the element fields to my form? Thank you very much an kind regards, Hans Grund

The question is still unanswered!
Let me give some details and break up the problem
in more specific questions:
- In Designer 8.1 I click new data binding --> wsdl -->
http://www.webservicex.net/globalweather.asmx?wsdl
A message box comes up and says "cannot load wsdl file"
==> 1. Question:
Why maybe refuses Designer to load the http-wsdl,
although this option is explicitly allowed?
- When I save the wsdl to a file, Designer loads it
without any problems. The web service uses two input parameters
(CountryName and CityName) and returns an xml-string GetWeatherResult)
like the one in my first posting. I drag these fields from the binding view to my form, and it runs ok!
- THE PROBLEM IS, THAT I NEET TO EXTRACT THE ELEMENT FIELDS
FROM THE RESULT XML-STRING!
==> 2. Question:
How to extract xml element fields from wsdl output into a form?
- I tried with eclipse and XmlSpy to build a modified wsdl file
with structured output definition, so that the specific element fields
show up in the data binding view and are usable to my form,
and the modified wsdl maps consistently to the web service result string.
So far without success: In the PDF -preview or Reader-
when the wsdl-binding is executed and the web service output
should show up in the result fields, just nothing happens.
==> 3. Question:
Can this strategy to provide a "modified wsdl" possibly succeed,
and how?
==> 4. Question:
Is is possible -and how?- to check whether an xml string
is valid as web service output against the wsdl-definition?
==> 5. Question:
How to debug a web service connection with Designer?
- Finally I tried to find a way to load the result xml-string
into a local var in the script editor and parse it, much like:
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xmlDoc.load(DataSet.MyForm.GetWeatherResult.rawValue);
==> 6. Question:
Is it possible -and how?- to use a framework like dotnet?
How to utilize SAX or DOM in Designer?
Many thanks and appreciations for your help!!

Connecting SAP BI 4.1 to BPC 10

Hi,
I am looking to connect SAP BI 4.1 to BPC 10 and want to understand the best way to connect to the system.
We were SAP BPC 7.5 and the ODBO connector was bad...very bad...
So we had to export data out of BPC to BW.
I know these is a XMLA connector in SAP BPC 10 and will be trying it out.
Has anyone got any experience or best practices on this.
Thanks,

I have found note:
1731626 - Data source connectivity options between BusinessObjects BI tools and BPC
which includes the following:
Web Intelligence BI 4.0
Data source
Runtime connectivity
requirements
Design time requirements
BPC 7.5 (MS, NW)
UNX + XMLA
IDT
BPC 7.5 (MS, NW)
OLAP UNV +BPC ODBO 2.0
UDT
BPC 10 MS
UNX + XMLA
IDT
BPC 10 NW
BICS / BEx Query
BEx Query Designer
In turn it looks like I can create a BICs connection via a BEx Query. I know this was not supported in BPC 7.5.
I am trying to find the correct document to understand how i would carry out this connection? Can anyone point me in the correct direction.
Thanks

Add an MSSQL "Linked" Server Object as a Data Source in Sharepoint Designer

This is a hard question to research as there are "Linked Data Sources" in SharePoint Designer. NOT WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. :)
In Microsoft SQL Server you can create Linked Databases. I'd like to find a way to use a Linked Database as a Data Source in SharePoint Designer.
Why?
A common question in SharePoint Communities is how to go about adding an Oracle Database connection in SharePoint. I am attempting to discover a way of linking an Oracle DB to MSSQL and then connecting SharePoint Designer to MMSQL. I do this
with the hopes I'd get more control over development in SharePoint Designer. Right now it is painful to use Oracle as a Data Source.
David Jenkins

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to add an Oracle Database connection in SharePoint.
It is recommend to use the business connectivity services to connect to the Oracle database.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff464424(v=office.14).aspx
http://sharepointjournals.wordpress.com/2011/06/06/business-connectivity-services-bcs-with-oracle-using-visual-studio-2010-part-1/
You can also use the Oracle database as data source directly instead of use a linked server.
In the SharePoint Designer, click Data Sources tab in the Ribbon, in the New group, click Database Connection.
Then you can configure the database connection to the Oracle database.
