Converting from a Business View connection to a non-Business View connectio

I have a report on our Crystal Reports Server that I need to move to a machine with Crystal Reports XI installed and no connection to the Business Objects Server.
When I create an ODBC connection pointing to the same table and then try to use Set Datasource Location to Update the Data Source I get an errormessage:
Converting from a Business View connection to a non-Business View connection is not supported.
What can I do? It is a complex report that I don't want to take the time and energy to rewrite.
Thank You for any answers.

Hello Brundibar,
I recommend to post this query to the [Universe Designer and Business Views Designer|Semantic Layer; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to the universes and business views.
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all Universe Designer and Business Views Designer queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

Converting from a Business View connection to a non-Business View Error

I have CR 2008 report with SP1. The report has a sub report. The main report is based off of a BV but the sub report is using an ODBC connection. When I try to update the ODBC connection I recieve an error message telling me that:
Quote:
"Converting from a Business View connection to a non-Business View connection is not supported."
I am do not want to update the BusinessView just the ODBC connection for the subreport.

Hi Michael,
When you try to update both the Business views and ODBC connection you will be prompted for those errors.
You need to break the link in the report and update the connections individually.
Thanks,
Naveen.

Converting from JDBC to JDNI connection

I am currently using CR XI (sp3) JRC in my application to display reports via web pages. I am using Oracle with a JDBC connection. I need to change my JDBC connection to a JNDI connection. Here are my current connection settings;
connection_url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@ros-db03:1521:spndgwin
connectionString=!jdbc:oracle:thin:@ros-db03:1521:spndgwin!jdbc:oracle:thin:/@ros-db03:$:spndgwin
database_classname=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
Can someone point me in the right direction?

Jitin, I have a web application running on Apache TomCat 6.0 that uses a JDNI connection for database connectivity everywhere except when I run a report via the viewer page which uses a JDBC connection. I would like to change my reports to use the same JDNI connection. I tried to test this in the CR XI designer by using these settings in the CrConfig.xml but I get theerror "can't instantiate class".
Here's the working JDBC settings;
     <JDBCURL>jdbc:oracle:thin:@10.0.1.111:1521:myAppDb</JDBCURL>
     <JDBCClassName>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</JDBCClassName>
     <JDBCUserName>AppUser</JDBCUserName>
Here's the non-working JNDI settings;
<JNDIURL>//localhost:8080</JNDIURL>
<JNDIConnectionFactory>org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean</JNDIConnectionFactory>
<JNDIInitContext>AppDatabase-ds</JNDIInitContext>
<JNDIUserName>AppUser</JNDIUserName>
We are using spring so I used it's factory name. I have the server running locally on my development PC which is why I used localhost as the URL value.
Here's my application-context-web.xml contents:
Bean definitions for Data base -->
<bean id="AppDatabaseDS" lazy-init="true" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">

I converted from a PC to a Mac Mini. I have my PC documents backed up on a DVD disk. I have an external DVD drive connected to the Mac Mini. I want to open these documents up from the DVD storage and save them to the Mac, BUT....when I put the DVD disk in the Mac is NOT reading it!

Hi Joe,
Thanks for your quick response. I should add....it worked before. When I previously inserted the two DVDs into this remote drive, and I went into finder, I could click on the "remote device" line and see all my saved documents (excel, word, etc) on the DVD and open them on the Mac. Now I cannot see them, when I try to open them on the Mac, nothing happens, nothing is displayed. I just re-tested the remote DVD drive with a CD and, no problem, it opened up the CD via iTunes and I cold play the CD. SO......I know the remote DVD drive (it's an LG by the way) is fine, it's something to do with some settings on my mini mac,especially where I could open it previously. I do not remember changing any settings since then.
When I go into system preferences and click on CD/DVD it gives me options of how to open up a music CD (default is iTunes), a DVD (default is iMovie), etc. The problem is my DVD is all miscellaneious files/documents. I just want to be able to see them in the finder. I also tried to open them via microsoft word, from the remote disk and again, it could not open the drive, even though some of the documents were microsoft word documents. Again, I was able to open them previously and the DVD is not corrupted in any way.
Any additional advice?
Thank you!

I have moved my iPhoto to an external hard drive. so now I have to have the external hard drive connected to my laptop to view the photos. Now when I want to import photos into iPhoto from my media card, I don't have room to connect both devices.

I have moved my iPhoto to an external hard drive. so now I have to have the external hard drive connected to my laptop to view the photos. Now when I want to import photos into iPhoto from my media card, I don't have room to connect both devices at the same time as the usb ports are side by side. How do I import my photos from the media card to the external hard drive now?

First transfer the photos to a folder on your MacBook using Image Capture in your Utilities folder. Then move them to iPhoto.
BTW, you might want to invest in a cheap USB hub.

1. Navigate to the main screen of the SAP Query (SQ01).
2. Follow the menu path Queries > Convert QuickViews.
3. Select your QuickView from the drop-down box and press the Enter button.
You are prompted to type a name for the query; press Enter again to convert
the QuickView.

Error when click Manage in Business Data Connectivity Service Sharepoint 2013

Dear all,
In Sharepoint central administration, I click manage service applications. Then, I click New > Business Data Connectivity Service. After create new Business Data Connectivity Service, when I click Manage to manage this new Business Data Connectivity Service,
there is error "Cannot complete this action as the Business Data Connectivity Shared Service is not responding. Please contact your administrator." In event viewer, there is error ""The BDC Service application is not accessible. The full
exception text is : The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Negotiate'. The authentication header received from the server was 'NTLM'.
I have tried to delete and create the BDC Service application, but it still did not work. I have tried to restart BDC Service and do iisreset, but it still did not work.
Please help. Thank you.
Best regards,

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you get an issue about the Business Data Connectivity Service.
To quickly and accurately find the issue, I recommend you can check the event log and ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred.
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS
You can check the ULS log by the methods here:

Failed to execute with the error Overflow converting from...

I have a query filter for UPC in Webi Report. The report is not working for one UPC (for other UPC's the report is working fine)...it gives error "failed to execute with the error Overflow converting from '6218090010'. (WIS 10901)". The same error is coming when I ran MDX in MDXTEST command in BW. When I take the UPC filter from the query filter the report runs fine and I see this UPC in the report. The data source is Bex and we have recently upgraded to SAP EHP 1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0.

Hi,
Under normal circumstances it should be enough to restart the connection service.
As far as we know there is no formal solution to this problem from SAP yet but restarting the connection service is much less of an interuption compared to restarting the the SIA.
Re-starting the connection service should resolve this issue. since, Connection service is only related to DeskI and Rich Client re-statrng wonu2019t impact other business objects components including java report panel.
All the Best,

Hi Duane,
Thanks for clarifying the hardware setup. Using the S-video connection from Hi8 to the DV converter is a good workflow. If you are showing a few errant lines at the bottom, that is a by-product of analog tape and please keep in mind that they are likely in the "overscan" area which normally does not show up to the TV viewer, though you see it in the edit software because you see the full overscan image edge-to-edge. So you probably don't have to worry about that, but if it bugs you, you can use the CROP effect to remove, or create a black title overlay to "hide" that stuff. As you said earlier, you can scale the whole picture up, but that is going to soften the image, not good.
As for shrinking the picture - this is only helpful when producing HD content (i.e Blu-ray) and mixing in some SD source material. I see this used on HD documentaries a lot. When they need to show some older SD footage, it is shown "actual size" over some sort of background. By showing the SD clip at actual size, it is not scaled at all and keeps it's quality on the HD display. If making a DVD, which is standard definition, then there is nothing to gain from this practice and it would in fact make things worse because you are reducing the resolution!
For a 75-minute project, I would use CBR 7.0 encoding to MPEG-2 for DVD.

How to convert from SQL Server table to Flat file (txt file)

I need To ask question how convert from SQL Server table to Flat file txt file

Hi
1. Import/Export wizened
2. Bcp utility
3. SSIS
1.Import/Export Wizard
First and very manual technique is the import wizard. This is great for ad-hoc and just to slam it in tasks.
In SSMS right click the database you want to import into. Scroll to Tasks and select Import Data…
For the data source we want out zips.txt file. Browse for it and select it. You should notice the wizard tries to fill in the blanks for you. One key thing here with this file I picked is there are “ “ qualifiers. So we need to make
sure we add “ into the text qualifier field. The wizard will not do this for you.
Go through the remaining pages to view everything. No further changes should be needed though
Hit next after checking the pages out and select your destination. This in our case will be DBA.dbo.zips.
Following the destination step, go into the edit mappings section to ensure we look good on the types and counts.
Hit next and then finish. Once completed you will see the count of rows transferred and the success or failure rate
Import wizard completed and you have the data!
bcp utility
Method two is bcp with a format file http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162802.aspx
This is probably going to win for speed on most occasions but is limited to the formatting of the file being imported. For this file it actually works well with a small format file to show the contents and mappings to SQL Server.
To create a format file all we really need is the type and the count of columns for the most basic files. In our case the qualifier makes it a bit difficult but there is a trick to ignoring them. The trick is to basically throw a field into the
format file that will reference it but basically ignore it in the import process.
Given that our format file in this case would appear like this
9.0
9
1 SQLCHAR 0 0 """ 0 dummy1 ""
2 SQLCHAR 0 50 "","" 1 Field1 ""
3 SQLCHAR 0 50 "","" 2 Field2 ""
4 SQLCHAR 0 50 "","" 3 Field3 ""
5 SQLCHAR 0 50 ""," 4 Field4 ""
6 SQLCHAR 0 50 "," 5 Field5 ""
7 SQLCHAR 0 50 "," 6 Field6 ""
8 SQLCHAR 0 50 "," 7 Field7 ""
9 SQLCHAR 0 50 "n" 8 Field8 ""
The bcp call would be as follows
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsBinn>bcp DBA..zips in “C:zips.txt” -f “c:zip_format_file.txt” -S LKFW0133 -T
Given a successful run you should see this in command prompt after executing the statement

bcp import completed!
BULK INSERT
Next, we have BULK INSERT given the same format file from bcp
CREATE TABLE zips (
Col1 nvarchar(50),
Col2 nvarchar(50),
Col3 nvarchar(50),
Col4 nvarchar(50),
Col5 nvarchar(50),
Col6 nvarchar(50),
Col7 nvarchar(50),
Col8 nvarchar(50)
GO
INSERT INTO zips
SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'C:Documents and SettingstkruegerMy Documentsblogcenzuszipcodeszips.txt',
FORMATFILE='C:Documents and SettingstkruegerMy Documentsblogzip_format_file.txt'
) as t1 ;
GO
That was simple enough given the work on the format file that we already did. Bulk insert isn’t as fast as bcp but gives you some freedom from within TSQL and SSMS to add functionality to the import.
SSIS
Next is my favorite playground in SSIS
We can do many methods in SSIS to get data from point A, to point B. I’ll show you data flow task and the SSIS version of BULK INSERT
First create a new integrated services project.
Create a new flat file connection by right clicking the connection managers area. This will be used in both methods
Bulk insert
You can use format file here as well which is beneficial to moving methods around. This essentially is calling the same processes with format file usage. Drag over a bulk insert task and double click it to go into the editor.
Fill in the information starting with connection. This will populate much as the wizard did.
Example of format file usage
Or specify your own details
Execute this and again, we have some data
Data Flow method
Bring over a data flow task and double click it to go into the data flow tab.
Bring over a flat file source and SQL Server destination. Edit the flat file source to use the connection manager “The file” we already created. Connect the two once they are there
Double click the SQL Server Destination task to open the editor. Enter in the connection manager information and select the table to import into.
Go into the mappings and connect the dots per say
Typical issue of type conversions is Unicode to non-unicode.
We fix this with a Data conversion or explicit conversion in the editor. Data conversion tasks are usually the route I take. Drag over a data conversation task and place it between the connection from the flat file source to the SQL Server destination.
New look in the mappings
And after execution…
SqlBulkCopy Method
Sense we’re in the SSIS package we can use that awesome “script task” to show SlqBulkCopy. Not only fast but also handy for those really “unique” file formats we receive so often
Bring over a script task into the control flow
Double click the task and go to the script page. Click the Design script to open up the code behind

This could be problematic.
It will depend on what model of iMac you have.
You may want to post machine info.
blue apple > about this mac > more info button. Click on the hardware line. It has a little triangle in front of the work hardware.
Leave out the serial number.
Example:
Machine Name: iMac
Machine Model: PowerMac4,1
CPU Type: PowerPC 750 (33.11)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 600 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
Memory: 768 MB
Bus Speed: 100 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.1.9f1
Most of the iMac's have sometype of video output port on the back. You will problably need a converter.
The 'hollywood' industry has been making it more difficult to get video out over time to prevent copying.

Office 2013 (C2R) Connect to the server to view them

I have an Outlook 2013 Click-to-Run installation (version 15.0.4641.1003) that will not download all emails from the server. At the bottom of folders it says, "There are more items in this folder on the server. Connect to the server to view them."
This option is grayed out, though. It is currently running in Cached mode and set to download 12 months of mail. It says Connected to Microsoft Exchange at the bottom. The connection status (taskbar --> right-click Outlook icon --> Connection Status)
shows connected. At the bottom of folders it says, "There are more items in this folder on the server. Connect to the server to view them." This option is grayed out, though. This particular account has had a new Outlook profile built twice in the
last couple of months when it would not connect to O365. This location also has a fairly slow connection. Could the slow connection be causing issues even though it says connected? Looking for any ideas.

Hi,
This message generally means you do not have connectivity with your Exchange server:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2733062/en-us
This might has something to do with the slow connection to Exchange Online. Please first check for updates and install any required ones, then try again. It’s always a good idea to keep current with updates.
Also, do you have a proxy server configured? If your Outlook is going via a proxy server to Office 365, you might want to take a look at this article:
