Creating Data Source to SQL Server 2008 in SharePoint Designer 2013

Hello,
 I have been trying to create a Data Source connection to a SQL Server 2008 Database. I use a custom string and I choose the table to display and hit ok. When I try to click on the connection to edit it I get the following error.

Hi Derek,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when you edited the Data Source connected to SQL Server.
How did you create the Data Source connected to SQL server using custom string?
I recommend to connect to the database by saving the user name and password to see if the issue still occurs.
More information are provided in the link below:

Best regards.
Thanks

    Hi David,
    The things I said are not a fix for this problem.
    If your RCU installation worked, then you do not have to worry about modifying the createfr.sql.
    Edit:
    I've just tracked the problem. It appears that when using the query builder, BI forgets to add the " sign.
    For example:
    This query will give the hyperion error.
    select     "table"."field"
    from     "database.user"."table"
    To correct it write it like this:
    select     "table"."field"
    from     "database"."user"."table"

  • Data services with SQL Server 2008 and Invalid time format variable

    Hi all
    Recently we have switched from DI on SQL Server 2005, to DS(Date Services) on SQL Server 2008. However I have faced an odd error on the query that I was running successfully in DI.
    I validate my query output using a validation object to fill either Target table (if it passes), or the Target_Fail table (if it fails). Before sending data to the Target_Fail table, I map the columns using a query to the Target_Fail table. As I have a column called 'ETL_Load_Date' in that table, which I should fill it with a global variable called 'Load_Date'. I have set this global variable in the script at the very first beginning of the job. It is a data variable type:
    $Load_Date = to_char(sysdate(),'YYYY.MM.DD');
    When I assign this global variable to a datetime data type cloumn in my table and run the job using Data Services, I get this error:
    error message for operation <SQLExecute>: <[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid time format>.
    However I didn't have this problem when I was running my job on the SQL Server 2005 using Data Integrator. The strange thing is that, when I debug this job, it runs completely successfully!!
    Could you please help me to fix this problem?
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Thanks for your reply.
    The ETL_Date is a datetime column and the global variable is date data type. I have to use the to_char() function to be able to get just the date part of the current system datetime. Earlier I had tried date_part function but it returns int, which didn't work for me.
    I found what the issue was. I don't know why there were some little squares next to the name of the global variable which I had mapped to the ETL_Date in the query object!!! The format and everything was OK, as I had the same mapping in other tables that had worked successfully.
    When I deleted the column in the query object and added it again, my problem solved.

  • Error updating data source from SQL Server ODBC into SQL Native Client 10.0

    I am converting Crystal 8.5 reports into Crystal XI release 2. The data source was ODBC using SQL Server 2000 and pointing to a stored procedure. In the new server the data source has to be ODBC again, but it uses the SQL Native Client 10.0 Driver, because the new server is SQL Server 2008. I have copied the same old stored procedure on the new server and it works fine as a data source to a brand new Crystal XI report. But when I am opening an existing 8.5 version crystal report and updating the data source to the new location I get the error message "Some tables could not be replaced, as no match was found in the new data source".
    I thought I could tackle this error by creating a temporary data source using the standard ODBC SQL Driver linked to the SQL 2008 Server instead of the SQL Native Client 10 ODBC. So I first updated the crystal data source to link to this temp ODBC using SQL Driver and it worked fine. But after that, when I try to update the data source to link to the SQL Native Client 10 ODBC, I get the same error again.
    So I guess that the problem is not the new server itself, but the switch between SQL Server ODBC and SQL Native Client 10 ODBC.
    Does anyone know what's going on with this SQL Native Client 10 in updating crystal report data sources?

    CR XI does not support that driver. Try selecting the Native driver or upgrade to CR XI R2 for free and use SP4, 5 and 6 and then FP 6.4 or upgrade to CR 2008 and SP 3 and Fix Pack 3.3
    Thank you

  • "Value cannot be null" error when trying to edit or create Maintenance Plan in SQL Server 2008

    I have searched for a possible solution and have tried some suggestions of registering the msxml6.dll but and have installed VS2008 SP1 but I'm not in a position where I can do a full reinstall of SQL Server right now. Any help is appreciated. My SQL server

    Operating System 6.0.6002

    I digged a little deeper and figured out it was a missing directory/file in %TEMP%. Seems some CleaningTool removes all files/directories in %Temp% and after that SSMS was not working any longer. The missing file is actually not needed, but the
    missing directory causes the "Value cannot be null" error.
    My missing file name was:
    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\2\6vvdaozf.tmp
    But the file name changes on every startup.
    So my missing directory name was:
    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\2
    After creating a empty directory with the name "2" in %TEMP% all went back to work fine for me.
    I'm not sure the directory name is every time the same, but you can discover your missing file with the process monitor from Sysinternal Tools and filters to "Process Name is ssms.exe" and "Path contains AppData\Local\Temp"
    Hope this helps other people to solve their issues too.
    Thank you!! When I run %temp% it takes me to "C:\Users\Admin ...~\AppData\Local\Temp\some random number". At first the random number was 3, after I logged off and back on it was 2. My temp variable in enviromental variables is correct. I looked on another machine
    running SQL2008 and temp is correct there. If I try to rename the numbered folder SSMS stops working. Any idea?

  • Creating Universes from a SQL Server 2008 Database....Options?

    Needing to create a Universe from a SQL Server 2008 DB, I am of course finding it difficult at best to get the ball rolling. Support tells me the only option I have is to use Designer, and to not use the "Automated Detection" features because they are not for production environment use <citing business requirement differences as one issue, as was noted during a support call when I was having problems with our VM server literally locking up while the "Automatic Detection" features were trying to run>.
    So what that means is, from what I see, I am expected to manually add all of the SQL DB tables, and then have a Developer spend multiple hours adding appropriate Joins, Cardinalities, Keys, etc. And, whenever there are any DB changes, this has to be done all over again to the Universe to allow for syncronization with the DB.
    This really seems like a heavy load to bear just to be able to use SAP. Is anyone else having these same challenges? Are there other options I am just not seeing? Seems to me Builder needs a SQL bridge honestly.
    Appreciate any help I can get!!
    -Carl

    While it may seem disappointing, as long as you have the data schema and knowledge of the joins and cardinalities, then you've got a lot of the easy stuff sorted out.
    What you need to provide is a presentation layer that is more than just turning the tables and columns into classes and objects. There are often things that you need to create that don't exist in the database, such as objects for relative dates. These can be found in the thread that I created over on the BOB Board here:
    http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?t=152613
    Make sure that all objects have a description
    Make sure that all dates and numbers have a format; there's nothing worse than creating a report and finding your year displayed as 2,011.00
    Use predefined filters - include prompts
    Other useful tips are available here:

  • SQL Developer Data Modeler for SQL Server 2008

    I am not able to connect to my SQL Server 2008 from the SQL Developer Data Modeler. Although I do have jtds-1.2.jar on my machine and I can connect the SQL server through the SQL Developer, but still i'm not able to connect through the data modeler. I need to re-engineer and generate data model for some existing schemas.
    Here is what I'm following:-
    File->Data Modeler -> import -> Data Dictionary -> Add new connection -> JDBC ODBC Bridge -> Other Third Party Driver
    now when I'm giving the JDBC URL and the Driver, It throws an error message stating that the driver could not be found.
    Please let me know what I can do to solve this, any help would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    AVA

    I'd try 1st to connect to the db from sqldeveloper (through jtds - no ODBC involved) and see if you can browse your db and issue sql statements in a worksheet. Then export that connection in xml format and import that from the modeler.

  • Creating dynamic database connection (SQL server 2008) from Adf application

    Hello,
    I am creating an ADF Fusion Application. I use Jdev. 11.1.2.3.0 , WebLogic 10.3 and MS SQL server 2008 database. My question is that how can I create a database connection configuration file, now I connect to the database through hard coding, there should be a way to do this with sql server I think.
    my database name is : testDatabase
    my database username is : testUser
    my database password is : testPassword
    Anybody can help me please.
    Thanks,
    Shahe

    Hello Frank,
    The database schema is the same for all the users, but the location of the database differs, for example: I have set the hostname of the database to localhost because the database is installed on the local pc, but to other clients the database is installed on a managed server so in the hostname I should put the server's ip address or name. So I need an external file where I can set these options.
    Thanks,

  • Error creating GTC to Microsoft SQL Server 2008

    I have a table in a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 data base.
    When I set the configuration of the connector I get and error.
    com.thortech.xl.gc.exception.DBException: The schema sipec does not exist in the target database.
    In the database performed the following query " select * from sipec.dbo.TABLE" and throws me results. But if I performed the following query “select * from sipec.TABLE” this brings me no results.
    So if in the field “Parent Table/View Name” I put this “sipec.dbo.TABLE” in the log file I see this error
    com.thortech.xl.gc.exception.DBException: The table name must be specified in the form of [Schema].[Table] or [Table]
    I put the driver where the guide indicate

    What is the solution?
    I have the same thing with SQL Server 2008 64 bit. When i switch my datasource from SQL 2008 to SQL 2000 it works great otherwise it will not work. I have checked SQL Server 2008 that all the ports show 1433. I have been stuck on this for a while. I also checked the SQL Server Network Configuration / TCP/IP and i have nothing in the dynamic field and all the ports show 1433. If someone has allready figured this out it would be good to have a solution- Especially since coldfusion is supposed to connect to the database....
    Thanks for any help.

  • Unable to see SQL Server 2008 option in Designer

    Hi Guys,
    We are using SQL Server 2008 and BO XI R3. While creating a new universe connection we can see (under microsoft) SQL Server 2005, but not the SQL Server 2008.
    How can we see the SQL Server 2008 option. Do we need to change some settings in BO or SQL Server?
    Thanks & Regards

    What version of XI 3.x are you on? Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services 2008 is only supported with XI 3.1 and higher. The supported platforms document for XI 3.1 is [here|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/60cdb229-d874-2b10-18ac-ed2f46873753&overridelayout=true].

  • How do I create a view in SQL Server in Visual Studio Express 2013 for Desktop?

    Hi
    I've got a SQL Server database set up using the internal SQL Server in Visual Studio Express 2013 for Desktop. I want to create a view (using tables with one to many relationships) but I don't
    know how to do it.
    Where can I find a good tutorial on creating views in SQL Server in Visual Studio Express 2013 for Desktop? I think Visual Studio Express 2013 for Desktop doesn't have some view designer that
    exists in the non-express version of Visual Studio (if I'm not mistaken). So I think I'd need a tutorial on how to do the actual SQL, unless there is some tool I don't know about.
    Thanks

    Hi ,
    According to your description, if you install SQL Server SQL Server 2014 Express and SQL Server Manager Studio tools (SSMS), if you want to create a view, you can use SSMS. Then if you want to connect to and Diagram your SQL Express Database in Visual Studio
    2013, you can attach the database file by using the .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server in Visual Studio, and create a database diagram via expanding the “Database Diagrams” node.
     For more information, there is similar issue about how to connect to and Diagram your SQL Express Database in Visual Studio 2012 , you can review the following article,
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bethmassi/archive/2011/10/27/how-to-connect-to-and-diagram-your-sql-express-database-in-visual-studio-lightswitch.aspx.

  • SSPI handshake error in SQL Server 2008 with SharePoint 2010

    Hi,
    I am having some trouble with my SharePoint database server this time. SharePoint Server 2010 is running on Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008 is running on Windows Server 2008 R2 as SharePoint database also. SharePoint users are authenticated through
    Active Directory. I am getting the following error almost everyday in SQL Server-
    SSPI handshake failed with error code 0x8009030c, state 14 while establishing a connection with integrated security; the connection has been closed. Reason: AcceptSecurityContext failed. The Windows error code indicates the cause of failure. 
    [CLIENT: (Server IP Address)].
    Could somebody help me to resolve this error?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi pointtoshare,
    No, a Service Principal Name (SPN) must be registered with Active Directory to use Kerberos authentication with SQL Server and not need to use NTLM authentication.
    Could you run the following query on your SharePoint Server and check the value of the auth_scheme column?
    SELECT auth_scheme FROM sys.dm_exec_connections WHERE session_id = @@spid ;
    Edit:The
    query above should run on the SharePoint machine with using SQL Management Studio.
