Connection issue for Power BI Analysis Services Connector

Hi,
I have a problem with the connection to power bi.
the analysis services connector was installed correctly and I see in my account of power bi the tabular server, but, when wanting to deploy
database it marks me the following error: IMDExternalConnection
the user that I set as administrator has permissions on the server tabular connector.
An example :
register my account with this email from my work : [email protected], and the domain user is [email protected]
could you guide me to know why this mistake is happening?
what credentials does power bi use to access my tabular server ?
Greetings!

Hi,
Can you please share a screenshot of the error message? Is it during the installation/configuration of the connector?
If yes, I suspect it is due to invalid credentials. You need to use your windows account of the Analysis Services server admin.
If the error is during connecting to AS server from Power BI, most likely it is due to a effective user name mismatch. The 6th FAQ listed in this blog post talks about the IMDExternal connection error -

Power BI analysis services connector - the remote server returned an error (403)

Hi all, does any one have any suggestions what to try to identify the configuration problem I have?
I have, a SSAS 2012 tabular instance with SP2, there is a database on the instance with a read role with everyone assigned permissions.
When configuring the Power BI analysis services connector, at the point where you enter Friendly Name, Description and Friendly error message, when you click next I receive the error "The remote server returned an error (403)."
I've tested connecting to the database from Excel on a desktop and connect fine.
I don't use a "onmicrosoft" account so don't have that problem to deal with.
We use Power BI Pro with our Office 365. As far as I can tell that part is working ok as I pass that stage of the configuration with a message saying connected to Power BI.
The connector is installed on the same server as tabular services, its a Win2012 Standard server. The tabular instance is running a domain account that is the admin account for the instance (this is a dev environment) that account is what I've used in the
connector configuration. It's also a local admin account. There is no gateway installed on the server.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks, Brian

Brian-
One other common issue I've seen is the UPN not quite matching. Log onto the SSAS server as the user who's logged into Power BI. Then open a command prompt and run:
whoami /upn
Hopefully the UPN it says will match your EffectiveUserName test and will match exactly how you're signing into the Power BI site.
If that doesn't work, your best bet is to go to
http://support.powerbi.com/ and click Contact Support and describe this situation and someone from the Power BI support team should get in touch with you to troubleshoot.

Will the Power BI Analysis Services Connector work if AD and AAD UPN suffixes don't match?

We are using Azure Active Directory, AD FS, and DirSync with
Alternate Login IDs, which means that our on-prem usernames have a different UPN suffix from our AAD usernames.
Will the Power BI Analysis Services Connector work in this setup? Or do the AD and AAD UPN suffixes absolutely have to match?

Hey Adam,
From SSAS, we simply query AD by passing the UPN we receive from AAD. As long as AD can find a match, it'll work.
So if there is a way in AD to map a particular UPN to another value, it'll work.
For example: For a user A, her on premises UPN is
'[email protected]' but she uses '[email protected]' as her email address. From AAD we'll receive
'[email protected]' & since AD knows that this is same as
'[email protected]' effective user name will work.
Hope this clarifies! let me know if you have more questions.

What's my password....Power BI Analysis Services Connector Deep Dive

Here are three screen shots:
SSMS:
PowerBI connected:
What's my password?

Hi Greg,
According to your description, you want to know the what you need to put when logging on to SSAS. Right?
In Analysis Services, Analysis Services provides a role-based authorization model that grants access to operations, objects, and data. All users who access an Analysis Services instance or database must do so within the context of a role. And the membership
of roles should be assigned to windows use (windows authentication).
In this scenario, you need to put in the windows user password. It's not supported to connect via SSAS without password.

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Can't connect to BI Analysis Services Connector

Hi all,
I had tried to connect with BI Analysis Services Connector. I had done all steps, but when I tried to connect with BI Analysis Services Connector, can't view cubes and appear a error message. This don't have specifications.
Technical details:

I don't undertand what is the error.
Please Help me
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply.
The error I got in the OC4J window is : WARNING java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
However, I have now been able to login to BI Publisher as Administrator. What I did was uninstall the full OBIEE (Basic) installation, and instead installed the BI Publisher component only, (along with OC4J).
Works fine now, although I don't know why it didn't work with the full install. Any ideas?
Cheers,
Stephen

PowerBI Analysis Services Connector Error 403

Hi all,
I have a problem with the configuration of PowerBI Analysis Services Connector. I fill all fileds but i have an error in the last step.
Error description: "The remote server forward an error: Forbidden (403)"
I don't understand this error because:
- SSAS acces are granted for my domain\user
- Office 365 account is the same user
- SSAS tabular model is granted for this same domain\user
Who can help me ?
Thanks

Connectivity issues for random phones in CUCM 8.6 on Vmware

I have a client that has problems with around half of there ip phones (6921 & 7945) after a situation with overheating in the serverroom.
The solutions was a 1 Publisher, 1 subscriber setup with each on a separate Vmware server.
The Publisher is connected to the Core Switch which is further connected to 4 distribution switches which again connect to 5 more distribution switches. They have around 200 ip phones connected to these switches that get assigned IP's with DHCP.
The physical disk that the Subscriber was on was destroyed the incident. The Publisher they recovered, but to do this they had to recreate the vm descriptor file and attach it to the flat-file.
So the current situation is that the system is running with only 1 Publisher and no Subscriber.
There is also a license warning in the CCM Admin section, stating a License Overage (2 nodes used, but only 1 licensed.)
The license status is not invalid though, and the license state is "Uploaded". This second node I suppose might be the Subscirber that no longer exists? The phones have more than enough licenses.
When powered up the system seems to run as it should, but only about half the phones have connectivity to and can register with CUCM.
I have tried to reboot some phones remotely by cutting the power on the switch interfaces where they are attached, but that made no difference.
The console log on the phones that are down show TFTP Timeout & File Transfer Error.
The phones that are up and running can be pinged successfully from the CUCM cli, but when pinging the others I get "Destination Host Unreachable".
The strange thing is that it seems completely random as to what phones are up or down. On all switches there are connected phones with both working and non-working connections to CUCM.
To try to pinpoint the fault I chose 2 devices on the same switch and compared the config for each interface, one that has connectivity and is registered, and one that does not have connectivity and is unreachable.
Everything seems to be identical so I can't see what causes this error on the one, but not on the other.
Also when I ping the ip phone with no connectivity to CUCM from any of the switches, the ping is successful.
Anyone know what could be the cause of this behaviour?

Hello and thank you for your time.
The phones get there IP’s from a DHCP Server (Not the built in one in CUCM, but an external server). I have tested that the DHCP process works by powering off a phone (one of the phones with connectivity issues), deleting the lease, and then powering the phone back on and seeing the device request and receive a new lease.
There is only one CCM group active and both servers are in this group with the Publisher as highest priority server. All phones are in the same Device Pool attached to this group.
There are a lot of warnings regarding dbReplication & missing node due to the subscriber being gone. Also there is an issue with NTP server (see below). I will post more on this tomorrow morning.
I have also attached the console log from one of the phones that can't register.
NTP Alert:
At Tue Jan 13 21:24:10 BRST 2015 on node 192.168.50.2; the following SyslogSeverityMatchFound events generated: SeverityMatch : Critical MatchedEvent : Jan 13 21:23:49 CUCMPUB user 2 ntpRunningStatus.sh: Primary node NTP server; 192.168.50.6; is currently inaccessible or down. Verify the network between the primary and secondary nodes. Check the status of NTP on both the primary and secondary nodes via CLI 'utils ntp status'.

The normal remedy is for NTP Watch Dog to automatically restart NTP. However; an unusual number of automatic NTP restarts have already occurred on this node.

IPad 1 internet connection issues for months--connects to modem fine

Was hoping the 4.3 upgrade would solve my issue, but it hasn't. I've had issues with my iPad for the past few months. It connects to my wireless network and works for some time (say a day or two) and then it suddenly cannot connect to the internet. The signal strength is strong. The IP addresses look the same as when it could connect to the internet, my iphone connects just fine (as does my laptop). I've upgraded modem firmware, changed modem login, tried WPA and WPA2, renewed lease on ipad, forgot network, extended my modem lease time, etc. But, I still have issues. I can unplug my modem and then the ipad connects fine...for a while. The only thing which keeps me connected for a while is to turn off my wifi everytime I'm done with my ipad...not exactly what I want to do. Any suggestions out there? Also, I should note that my ipad did not encounter any of these issues for the first 6 months of its life. I'm guessing an OS upgrade created all this nonsense.

turn wifi off on another device. some routers have limits if no result do this
reset network settings
restart your router make sure all lights are off and then come back on
then
reset network settings
settings-general-reset-reset network settings
now reconnect to wifi
settings- wifi- click network name- enter password - join
Peace, Clyde

HADR Solution for SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) 2014 on Azure Iaas

Hi All
I am required to build a HA/DR solution for SQL Server and SSAS 2014 on Azure. So far I could build AlwaysOn high availability solution for SQL Server on Azure but haven't found any solution for SSAS.
Failover Clustering is not an option on azure because of the restriction of not been able to use shared storage. We also determined that the cost savings of using SQL + the cost of the 3rd Party replication tool was a wash (ie no real cost savings).
Any lead on this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Viral Shah
Thanks - Viral

Hi Viral,
A clustered implementation of SSAS can be configured in Microsoft Azure. Such a configuration would need to meet all the requirements stated in the following document including Active Directory and storage.

Connectivity Issues and Slow Speeds Since Service Start

Hi there. I changed ISPs on 01/06/2015 from Sky to EE. Ever since the broadband service has changed over to EE, from day one, the connection has been unstable. We were getting constant disconnects, usually at pretty set times of day, but they could also be rather random too. The disconnects were most often happening at around 11am, and then from 11pm until 2am. Which was all quite odd. I've been in touch with EE home broadband customer support who have run multiple line tests, sent out two separate BT engineers and an EE engineer, all who have found no fault with the wiring and are unable to identify any faults on the lines, even though when I call, I'm more often told that as a result of line tests they've found faults on the line. This conflicting information is rather frustrating. Would also like to add that the router is plugged into the test socket and that's made no difference. For the past couple of days we've only had an occasional disconnect, so it is better in that regard, but in its place the broadband speeds have been noticeably slower. Upon running speed tests via browser, I'm getting information like: Download speedachieved during the test was - 9.19 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 4 Mbps-21 Mbps.
IP Profile for your line is - 11.79 Mbps Upload speed achieved during the test was - 0.69Mbps
Additional Information:
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 0.83 Mbps Which all seems fine. However, browser pages are extremely slow to load if they load at all, PSN shareplay won't connect as 'the connection is too slow', videos take an age to buffer, online gaming is hit and miss whether I can actually connect to the server or not. I'm connected to this exchange: https://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange/WSLAK And the details for my router are as follows: STATUS Configured CurrentLine Status -- UPLink Type -- Interleaved PathOperation Mode Automatic G.992.5 (ADSL2+) DATA RATE INFORMATIONUpstream 1022 (Kbps)Downstream 13742 (Kbps) DEFECT/FAILURE INDICATIONOperation Data Upstream DownstreamNoise Margin 4.9 (dB) 6.0 (dB)Line Attenuation 16.8 (dB) 31.5 (dB)

Again, looking at the time connected time, it relates back to the last disconnect which was in the afternoon. Again, the router hasn't been manually reset, restarted, etc. The connection dropped out (the adsl light on the router blinked out of existence and took several minutes to start flashing back on again, before going a solid green, as per usual), and was left to its own convenience to return. Note: Just as I pressed the post button, we lost connection again, but I'll stick with the stats I've already pasted here.

Internet Connectivity issues for iPad 4G

I'm an apple fan since 2001
And Recently I bought and iPad 3 4G 64gb, it was really a delight but suddenly apple announced iOS 6 and I updated and it was a disaster
1. Very Slow 3G Connectivity
2. Very Slow Wi-Fi Connectivity Plus inability to get Wi-Fi from the same distance as before
3. App store is slower than ever
4. No youtube app which was amazing
5. Maps are not so bad but slower and inaccurate
6. The compass is always stuck giving errors
7. Battery donot last 10 hours as promised
8. Very Slow safari
That is all
But the Most important is the Internet Connectivity

Hi,
This issue is still persisting. A Technician had come in on Friday and basically found nothing wrong..told me that the router is fine..issue might be somewhere else.
worked fine over the weekend and again broke down last night..had to call again and that customer service representative was of no help and didnt even schedule the appointment correctly for today.
I am strongly thinking of cancelling the service very soon.

Internet connectivity issues for past 3 days

Hi, I live in Westchester county and since past 3 days, I have no internet connectivity in the evenings. Internet works fine early morning though. Called tech support every day. On second day, the tech support helped us figure out there was an outage in the area and someone from the techical dept was fixing it..Internet started working and all was fine..
But again yesterday, same issue. Called tech support again and this time they could tell me if it is an outage or something else is broken..
If someone is facing the same issue, any information provided would be helpful

MaxDB Connection Issue for Content Server

Hi All,
We have installed Content Server 6.40 on Windows 203 server.
We are able to visit the Url http://host:port/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?serverInfo
But while creatng a repository i am facing issues..its throwing error that
"HTTP error: 500 (Internal Server Error) "CreateTab ContentStorage, connect error SQLConnect failed, [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data s"
Checked these two notes 698915, 301352 and ru the comman to register MaxDB drivers and got that message that the drivers registered successfulyy.
But still i am not able to create repository uing CSADMIN.
Also ,when tryng to connect to MaxDB using superdba or contro user ,its throwing error "-2 ERR_USRFAIL authorization failed "
Even the control user i amnot able to login.I am giving the password which i gave during installation.
Database is SDB
Pls suggest.
Regards
Ajay

Hello Ajay,
1. I recommend you to create the SAP ticket, if you failed to connect to MaxDB
using superdba or control user with known to you passwords.
2. Could you post the password, which you used during the installation.
In the past the issue was with using passwords more as 9 symbols with Unicode MAXDB.
If you was using, for example, "test123456" password => try to connect to the database
with u201Ctest12345u201D password < first 9 symbols of the password you used during the installation >.
Thank you and best regards, Natalia Khlopina
