Data services - invalid CMS connection information

Hi,
I am installing Data services 4.1 on one server and trying to connect cms which is another server.
When i enter the username and password of the cms server during the installation. i get the below error.
"you cannot proceed as the following has failed validation :invalid CMS connection information.
Please check the CMS connection inforamtion."
Please help.
Thanks,
Rajiv

Hello,
The issue was resolved by imnplementing the note 1682686.
In the next screen, it is asking for the local repository connection
Repository name for CMS registry:
Oracle Db connection name:
Db server name:
Database port:
SID
USer id:
Pwd:
I get an error
You cannot proceed because the following has failed validation:
Invalid Data Services Repository Connection information
BODI-320006:cannot open connection to the repository.The error mesage from the
underlying DBMS is <OCI call<OCIServerAttach> for connection <YYY> failed:
<ORA -12154:TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified>.
The db server is on a seperate host.

"Invalid CMS Connection" Error during DS 4.2 SP2 Installation

Hi Everybody,
Can anyone shed the light on the following dead end issue we are facing during Data Service 4.2 SP 2 Add On the EXISTING BOBI 4.1 SP2
( compatibility is confirmed by SAP through OSS Incident).
Environment :
Existing Distributed Architecture of BOBI 4.1 SP 2 i..e CMS DB Oracle on One Host and BOBI 4.2 SP2 on Another Host
Adding : Data Services 4.2 SP2 on Separate Host
OS : Linux RED HAT 6.3 (VMware)
At the initial Information Gathering Phase of   Data Services Installation I face the following issue at the section of " Enter CMS Name " :
   - We entered Physical / Virtual server name   with and without FQDN i.e. Current CMS Host
   - Next is Admin and Password i.e. Administrator and Password of Existing CMS
We get the following System Response / Error :
Invalid CMS Connection Information.
Installer could not detect a running Data Services Administrator Service with
the specified CMS connection information.
and no valid local SIA node was found.
Installer can not continue.
Please fix this problem by:
1. Making sure a Data Services Administrator Service is up and running with the specified CMS;
2. or creating a valid local SIA node to point to the specified CMS.
It seems this is Known Issue and I see two notes :
1837296 - ERROR: No valid local SIA nodes exist for the given CMS connection information - Data Services 4.x
                   - Not applicable as this is for IPS based installation
1682686 - Cannot connect to the CMS during installation of Data Services or Information Steward
                   - This note suggests to enter the TEMP variable pointing to location of Log Files Storing the Installation Logs
                      accordingly we did set " export TEMP=/usr/sap/<SID>/BOBI " as Temp variable but same error persists with the same message !!
                   - This note says valid for " DS 4.1 "
                         ..seems SAP Fall behind with the Rapid Frequency of DS Releases and even in this note there's extremely brief so called solution
                         ...Defining TEMP should solve this issue in this case as per the note but, it is not solving issue at all !!
In addition to define TEMP Variable to resolve this, following verification, further attempts are made to fix it :
#1. I am able to ping from Data Services Host to CMS Host and there's no Firewall blocking this connection
#2. Using IP in place of Host Name ( FQDN or without FQDN ) does NOT resolve
#3. With Administrator / Password mentioned - log in is possible
#4. Added entries in /etc/hosts of CMS Host and in DS Host ( cross entries )
#5 There's a Thread -
              http://scn.sap.com/thread/3469916 -- and as per that following sap note 1682686 resolves this specific issue but, in our case it does not !
In short : as of now we are at dead end !!
Pl. share your knowledge, inputs - Thanks.
Thanks,

It is puzzling that without the completion of Data Services Installation why the DS Installer is expecting ' DS.Admin services " running on 'client' ...this is an extension or add on of Data Services (to be installed on separated linux host) and communication is supposed to be from DS Host to CMS Host !! Where is the scope of client here ??
We do see that connection to CMS Host is possible ..I found few more notes related to this ( not for the identical OS+DB+DS ver. i.e. Linux+Oracle+DS 4.2 SP2) e.g. 1824068, 1632561 but, none of it helps to resolve the issue.

BO data services: Profiler cannot connect. error is - No JVM

Hi,
I just installed BODS on solaris. I had configured the job servers and repositories and my designer can connect to the job server.
However, my designer cannot connect to the profiler. I'm having an error message of 'no JVM is available to process profiling request. I already configured the profiler repository on oracle using the repository manager and associate the profiler repository to a job server.
Please help.
thanks,

Hi
Try installing the "Web Tier components" on the client (Designer) machine.
(You will have to re-run the Installation, selecting the same components as before, plus the Web Tier Components. There is no need to set up repositories again, though).
This should work, as it installs java components.
(You might want to post any Data Services in the Enterprise Information Management forum - as that is the correct forum for Data Services - I only noticed you question by accident!)

Unable to Connect Oracle 7 with Data Services 3.2

Hi All,
I am incredibly facing an issues with Oracle 7 connecting with Data Services 3.2. with Native client drivers (TNS Names).
The client legacy application is on Oracle 7, they are moving the data from legacy to SAP ECC. My role is to transfer the data from Oracle 7 to SAP ECC, We are using Data Services 3.2 for conversion. This Data Services 3.2 is not connecting with Oracle 7 by using oracle native drivers (TNS Names).
I am able to connect Oracle 8 client with SQL *Plus, but with Data Services its not connecting, I am able create Data Store but when try to import the table the error message I am getting like "ORA-24316: Illegal handle Type"
Is there any other solution for this to connect, or Is Data Services 3.2 will not connect to Oracle 7 since its older version.
Please reply with your thoughts, or with some solution.
Appreciate your prompt reply. Many thanks.

Hi Paul,
Currently I am using ODBC connection to read the data from legacy Oracle7, but ODBC is very very slow, queries are taking hours to fetch the data. Is there any other solution by chance... I read that DataDirect is the one can connect to any versions of oracle and its bit faster, is that true. Please clarify me. If that is the solution where can I get this DataDirect drivers for oracle 7? Please advice me.
Thank You,
Ashok

Cannot connect to ColdFusion Data/Service in Flash Builder 4

Hello,
I am attempting to connect to a ColdFusion data service using the Connect to Data/Service for Flash4 window, however, when I go to select service type I only see HTTP or XML as options. I have set-up my Flash project with CF Flash Remoting and when I type http://localhost:8500/flashservices/gateway into a browser I get a blank page, which I think means that the Flash gateway is working. I am going crazy trying to figure this out, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

If you been a customer long enough call and ask for a unlock code for your phone and get a temporary sim to use (similar to how walmart here has straight talk) and use that. You will of course need to buy the sim and buy the time you use. This way it will avoid big charges on your bill etc.. So just call verizon and ask for a unlock code and you will take out your current phone sim (put it somewhere safe) and put the new sim in and turn phone on and put the unlock code in. Make sure the sim you get it set to use the type of network your phone is. (look at the specs of your phone) good luck.

Data services on Linux to MS SQL ODBC connection

We have DS 4.1 SP2 running on Linux and trying to connect to MS SQL database via odbc. The admin guide tells you to modify the ds_odbc.ini file with an entry like this:
[test_Microsoft_SQL_SERVER]
Driver = <install_location>/lib/libodbc.so
RebrandedLib = TRUE
where install location is location of datadirect ODBC driver. But the problem is there is no libodbc.so in this library. There is a libodc.a file there instead.
Secondly, it also tells us to modify the file referenced by $ODBCINI with the following entry. In my case, ODBCINI also references to ds_odbc.ini under /dataservices/bin folder !!. Also, below it tells you to enter the /lib/DAmsssxx.so file location. But there is no such file under datadirect/lib folder. There is a DAsql25.so instead.
[test_Microsoft_SQL_SERVER]
Driver=<install_location>/lib/[DA][DD]msssxx.so
Description=DataDirect <current version number> SQL Server Wire Protocol
AlternateServers=
AnsiNPW=Yes
ConnectionRetryCount=0
ConnectionRetryDelay=3
Database=<database_name>
EnableQuotedIdentifiers=1
HostName=<SQL_Server_host>
LoadBalancing=0
LogonID=
Password=
PortNumber=<SQL_Server_server_port>
QuotedId=No
ReportCodePageConversionErrors=0
DriverExpirationBehavior=1
What should I do ? which file do I need to modify exactly and with which library ?? I don't have to modify the odbc.ini file at all ??
Do I need to install the Data direct drivers first ?? if so, how ?
Thanks
BV

Hi,
ODBC connectivity from your machine will not help as the connectivity to SQL Server will be established from the job server.
On the connectivity test, can you please check with your Linux admin. You can also refer to the following link for some details.
Links:
http://www.easysoft.com/developer/interfaces/odbc/linux.html
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Odbc
Can you please check the following link. this is specific to ODBC connectivity for Linux based job server.

IPhone 5 cellular data services failing

ISSUE/SYMPTOMS: iPhone 5 ONLY: Cellular Data stops intermittingly, cellular data locks up without warning, Wi-Fi data connection not working on occasion, iCloud contacts, calendar and reminders not updating, Find My Phone not working, mail or Internet not available or server time-outs. No error messages though. All of these are symptoms of no data service. Problems seem to be related to iPhone 5 failing to switch between LTE and 4G or 3G data services on AT&T.
My iPhone 5 32GB AT&T version (iOS 6.0.2) along with my clients and family using iPhone 5 in the state of Oklahoma are having this issue on their AT&T iPhone 5's: no cellular data connection re-established if at anytime the LTE connection is lost or weak. As with iPhone's prior to iPhone 5, the iPhone 5 is supposed to drop down to the next tier of data service and re-connect to cellular data service when the higher speed cellular data service is not available. Apparently this is not working well on the iPhone 5.
What led me to research this LTE issue was that my iPhone was not syncing on iCloud with contacts, calendars and reminders with my other iOS devices. Other times this issue became apparent was when iMessage quit sending and receiving until I would reboot my iPhone (sometimes it would finally send the message as a “text message”). When I had these problems I also found out I was not getting any cellular data service for Internet browsing, mail, Maps, Find My iPhone, etc. This would happen without notice. In other words I would not receive any notice or error message that data service had stopped other than the fact I was not receiving any mail, iMessages, or iCloud sync updates. My only resolution was to reset or reboot my iPhone several times a day, and that would resolve it about 70% of the time.
I have talked to Apple Support on 2-3 occasions in the last week and AT&T Support twice in the last 2 days. If it is really true, only the AT&T Technical Support Advisor informed me of a nationwide issue relating to iPhone 5 and LTE: iPhone 5's are not re-connecting to 4G or 3G cellular data service once the LTE data connection is lost or dropped... the voice calls continue to work, but cellular data service fails and stays locked up without an error message until the customer reboots the iPhone.
Obviously this is very unacceptable. We depend on these data services and at minimum need to know when it stops working instead of finding out from a phone call that someone sent us an important email or something.
The AT&T representative also said that both AT&T and Apple are aware of and are working on the issue as it is a nationwide problem with iPhone 5 and LTE. The Apple Support Advisors I talked to made no mention of this "known" issue. AT&T said that it is partly AT&T responsibility because the capacity of LTE is overloaded and cellular data connections are dropping because of the lack of coverage and/or capacity. They actually refunded my data service for a whole month in apology for the inconvenience (I did not even ask for that--I just want my data service to work). But they also said that Apple has responsibility in this issue because the iPhone 5 should drop down and re-connect to the next lower tier of data service when LTE is not available or lost; instead, it is locking up somehow or it still thinks it is connected to LTE when it is actually not. I don't know how accurate these statements are, but my problem is real.
TEMPORARY WORK-AROUND / FIX FROM AT&T: Disable LTE on the iPhone 5. Or when you figure out that data is not coming to your iPhone, use Airplane Mode ON/OFF for a few seconds to force re-connection to a tower without rebooting the iPhone. You can Disable LTE on the iPhone 5 in SETTINGS/GENERAL/CELLULAR. I have disabled LTE on my iPhone 5 and have not had any of these cellular data issues since.
Disabling LTE is not acceptable either, but it is working. At least I seem not be losing connection or locking up without knowing it. In my office over the course of a day, my iPhone 5 will jump back and forth on LTE and 4G sitting in the same place. Disabling LTE has stopped this and the problem, but the iPhone 5 should switch cellular data services seemlessly just like the phone switches towers on a phone voice call seemlessly (most of the time).
WI-FI ALSO STOPS WORKING SOMETIMES AFTER THIS LTE disconnect / lock-up issue: That has been my experience along with my clients and family as well. If you use Wi-Fi a lot on your iPhone it will hide this LTE issue until you leave your Wi-Fi and get on LTE and then drop LTE (silently) and then go back to your Wi-Fi. My experience has been I have to reboot the iPhone to even get Wi-Fi working again after that happens.
I do not know if some of these comments and analysis are really accurate or valid or not... all I know for sure is since I upgraded my iPhone to the 5 along with my other family members and clients, we have had "no data" on many occasions and are continually rebooting our iPhones and looking for what is wrong.
My questions to the support community are these:
     1. Is anyone else having this issue? Or is it just me and my few? Maybe a lot of people do not realize they are not getting their data because they are on Wi-Fi most of the time or they are just rebooting and not trying to identify the real problem. AT&T said it was nationwide iPhone 5/LTE issue. Anyone else heard that from either Apple or AT&T?
     2. Is this an iPhone 5 / Apple issue or is AT&T solely responsible? Or is it both? Where do we get a solution??? Is AT&T LTE holding false connections with iPhone 5 or is the iPhone 5 failing to recognize a dropped LTE cellular data connection and then failing to attempt to re-connect with 4G or 3G?
     3. Did I miss where this issue is posted? I searched Apple Support and Communities and did not get any hits. Any updates or further insight on the issue? Any other fixes other than Disabling LTE?
      4. If this is in fact a real issue belonging in part to the iPhone 5, we need to escalate Apple’s attention to it.
Thanks in advance for your help and feedback.

Thank you fellow users and experts for your feedback and updates. Sorry about the large font on the original post... accidental via cut and paste.
I have escalated the issue with both Apple and AT&T. I actually got senior level troubleshooters from both Apple and AT&T on the phone at the same time... rare moment. Here are the key points of the update:
     1. AT&T did NOT confirm the earlier statement by another AT&T Technical Support Agent that this was an emerging nationwide issue about iPhone 5 and LTE losing data connection and not reconnecting at a lower level or re-connecting to LTE once the signal came back. So that earlier statement was not accurate as suspected by all of us. The senior tech at AT&T said he has seen this issue sporadically over the last month or so, but only with about 3-4 customers. He said it seems to be location or phone dependent (some phones not all phones).
     2. The Apple Tech was satisfied that all that could be done to eliminate my issues possibly relating to my instance of software / iOS had been accomplished except erasing my iPhone and restoring as a new phone (I have avoided this inconvenience with the argument that other family/clients with the iPhone 5 have had the same problem).
     3. AT&T went so far as to examine which towers I had been connecting to over the last week and looked at other technical data that could possibly explain the issue. I now know I have 3 towers that provide LTE within 4 miles of my home/office, one within a half mile. But so far there is nothing to explain or even properly identify the issue. AT&T offered me to take my phone to an AT&T store, try to force replicate the problem there, if so, the store would put my SIM card in a brand new iPhone 5 (just to test) and try tor replicate the problem again. If replicated on a new phone, there is a deeper issue; if resolved on a new phone, the answer is obvious. I have not taken the time to do this yet.
     4. On Friday, Jan 4, 2013 while talking and between the tech support calls (on a different phone), I was able to re-create the problem 2 separate times in my home/office by forcing my iPhone to weaken its connection to service (burying it under electronic gear) and then waiting a few minutes, then trying to browse the Internet--no data service unless I manually reset the connection. I am only able to cause the issue to occur if there is at least 15 min of idle time after a weak signal condition AND only if I don’t completely lose a connection to cellular voice service. It seems that if you go down to NO SERVICE the phone will do new a search and keep searching until reconnects to LTE or other signals correctly, but a weak connection seems to be strong enough for voice service but can sometimes cause the LTE data service to stop without reconnecting to LTE, 4G or 3G unless I manually intervene. It also seems that idle time with a weak connection is also necessary to re-create the problem manually. Since Friday, I have not been able to re-create the problem. This has been an intermittent problem, so who knows.
FYI, I have never had this problem with my new iPad (also on AT&T LTE) that has been with me when the iPhone fails to have data service, but my iPad is never in my pocket or other places with perhaps less signal.
Again, if you are connected to Wi-Fi on your iPhone 5 most of the time, you may never notice this issue if you are even having it.
So far no progress on the real issue or resolution, but both Apple and AT&T have put forth very admirable effort.
If you or others you know are having this issue, please take the time to post a reply to this issue. Thank you.

6 month on.. My observations on Data Services vs SSIS

Hi all,
I'd like to share some observations on my first six months working with Data Services. I have previously worked with SSIS for several years and have some minor experiense with Datastage also.
Firstly, let me say that I am largely happy with Data Services. There are pro's and Cons, but for an SAP ECC shop like us, it solves more problems than it causes.
The positives:
The ability to call SAP extractors directly, saves huge amounts of time and money for us. We can do in DS in a day what would take weeks if we have to use openhub and SSIS combined.
The Query transform is really flexible and does in one step what would take several in SSIS.
DS is more tolerant of metadata changes.
Template tables are a great feature that support quick turn-around.
The negatives:
Crashes = DS 4.0 is a buggy tool. Everytime I loose network connectivty it crashes. It crashes randomly at other times as well. I'd say once every 2 days would be about the average between crashes. SSIS isn't perfect, but is much more stable than that.
Debugging - SSIS's visual debugging is far superior to what DS has
Attitude - There is a certain degree of arrogance amongst SAP/BO consultants I have dealt with. I have heard phrases like 'SSIS is not an ETL tool' and SSIS just runs SQL' several times. That's a load of BS. Both tools are quite similar in many ways, and the reality is DS does a lot more push-down to the database than SSIS does out of the box.
Community - SSIS has a great community. If I ask a question in an SSIS formum, I know i'll get an answer by the next day. Here, I'd say half my questions are never answered. Micrsoft have several people monitoring the forums at all times and they do a great job of this.
lock-down - With SSIS, I can download a free eval of SQL Server (or buy a dev only copy very cheaply), install it on my PC at home and try things out. With DS, thats not an option.
No 3rd party extensions - there are lots of 3rd party extensions available for SSIS. I've yet to find any for DS.
This is not meant to to be a negative post; i'd be interested in hearing other's point of view on this.
Thanks.
Leigh.

If you need to get data from ECC, then data services is probably your best option. But it is a big investment.
Conceptually, DS is similar to SSIS - think if SSIS as a basic version ( I worked with SSIS before DS, and I wouldn't ever go back). I would say you will need 6 months to get up to speed with it enough to be able to build production ready easy to support code. You will probably have the quick and dirty stuff going in a few weeks. We bought in a consultant to teach us on the job for 3 weeks, so I never had any formal training, but that would probably be a good idea.
There is no point keeping SSIS if you have DS, so the plan would be to migrate over time.
The other option is to look at SAP rapidmarts. These are basically pre-built datamarts for SAP - you load them into data services, change the connection details and run them ! If you went this route, you could use SAP consultants to set it up, but you would still need DS skills to support it.
Either way, and independent of DS, you will need some serious expertise on the SAP side to help you. Even a data services expert couldn't necessarily build a solution based on ECC without a subject matter expert to help.

Hi Ali.y,
Based on the current error message, the error can be related to the
Claims to Windows Token Service (C2WTS) and is an expected error under certain conditions. To verify the issue, please check the aspects below:
     1. The C2WTS Windows service and C2WTS SharePoint service are both running.
     2. Check the SQL Server Browser service is running on the machine that has the PowerPivot instance of SSAS.
     3. Check the domain. You're signing into SharePoint with a user account in some domain (call it Domain A). When Domain A is equal to Domain B which SharePoint server itself is located (they're the same domain), or Domain
A trusts Domain B.
In addition, the error may be caused by Kerberos authentication issue due to missing SPN. In order to make the Kerberos authentication work, you need to configure the Analysis Services to run under a domain account, and register the SPNs for the Analysis
Services server.
To create the SPN for the Analysis Services server that is running under a domain account, run the following commands at a command prompt:
• Setspn.exe -S MSOLAPSvc.3/Fully_Qualified_domainName OLAP_Service_Startup_Account
Note: Fully_Qualified_domainName is a placeholder for the FQDN.
• Setspn.exe -S MSOLAPSvc.3/serverHostName OLAP_Service_Startup_Account
For more information, please see:
How to configure SQL Reporting Services 2012 in SharePoint Server 2010 / 2013 for Kerberos authentication

My local Eclipse :eclipse-jee-helios-SR2-win32 (but also got the issue on the Flash Builder Eclipse, which version is 3.4.0 (Generation ID M20090211-1700)
Flash Builder 4 with Eclipse plug-in
All on same PC
The Test Drive proposes examples in three technologies : Cold Fusion, PHP and Java. I'm doing the Java examples.
Installation of Flash Builder, as well as step 1 of the Test Drive (Build the user interface) went fine. I could run the project, which at the end of step 1 correctly displayed the UI in my browser.
Only one problem, I don't know if it is relevant for the rest of this post : I first got an error, saying that ports 8080, 8005 and 8009, requested by Tomcat, where used. After a short Google search, I fixed it by changing these ports to 8081, 8006, and 8010, in the Tomcat 6.0\conf\server.xml file.
The Test drive second step is "Connect to data". I found some discrepancies between the Test Drive doc, and what is displayed in Flash Builder. The Test Drive says :
"Use the Data menu and the Service Wizard to create a service for your application server. For ColdFusion and Java, specify the service file you put on your application server earlier (see Figure 9 for a PHP example). For Java, select the No password required check box, select the employeeService destination, and change the service package to services.employeeservice."
--> But there is no "No password required check box".
Also, when running the "Connect to data/service..." wizard, it was not at first completely clear what to choose. The proposed choices were :
BlazeDS
ColdFusion
HTTP
LCDS
PHP
Web Service
XML
Since all others choices, when tried, declared to be unconsistent with my project's server type, I finally selected "Web Service".
In the next wizard's form, according to the Test Drive indications, I specified the URI of my EmployeeService class : C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\testdrive\WEB-INF\classes\services\EmployeeService.class
That defined correctly the other fields.
But when pressing the "Next >" button, Flash Builder issued the following error message :
English translation : Unable to extract operations and entities from specified WSDL. Reason : an error occured while instrospecting the service.
And the full error text is :
An error occured while instrospecting the service. WSDLException: faultCode=PARSER_ERROR: Problem parsing 'file:/C:/Program%20Files/Apache%20Software%20Foundation/Tomcat%206.0/webapps/testdrive/W EB-INF/classes/services/EmployeeService.class'.: com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.io.MalformedByteSequenceException: Invalid byte 2 of 2-byte UTF-8 sequence.
It is usually relatively easy to find fixes through Google searches, but this time, it didn't work. So here I am, expecting a bunch of wise answers from all the nice Flex / FB gurus that I'm sure haunt this forum .
Thanks and best regards.
Marc.

For those who would have the same problem, here is how I could eventually fix it.
Since the Flex Test Drive is sometimes out of sync with flash builder 4, I recreated a project using other help pages on Adobe site :
Entry point :
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Flex/4.0/AccessingData/WSbde04e3d3e6474c4-668f02f4120d422cf08- 7ffd.html
As suggested, I used the New Project wizard to create a new project, with :
Application server type : J2EE
Check the radio button "Use remote object access service : BlazeDS"
Then, as indicated in following pages (section "Accessing BlazeDS")... :
file:///C:/Mes%20documents%20C/Commun/Developpement/Documentation/HT-Tracks/AccessingData/ help.adobe.com/en_US/Flex/4.0/AccessingData/WSbde04e3d3e6474c4-668f02f4120d422cf08-7ffe.ht ml#WSbde04e3d3e6474c4-19a3f0e0122be55e1b7-8000
...I selected the "Data / Connect to Data/Services..." menu option, which started the Data/service connection wizard.
There, I selected a BlazeDS (and not Web Services) service type, and everything went fine.
Suggestion to adobe staff : maybe it would be useful to update the Flex Test Drive to reflect Flash Builder 4 ?
Very nice product anyway, so far, congratulations...

Unable to connect SQL Developer 4.0.2 to Oracle REST Data Services 2.0.7 (Apex Listener)

Background
1. Weblogic 10.3.6.0 running on Oracle Linux 6.5 with Oracle JRockit(R) (build R28.2.3-13-149708-1.6.0_31-20120327-1523-linux-x86_64, compiled mode)
2. Oracle Apex 4.2.1
3. Apex Listener 1.1.3
4. Apex and Apex Listener running on the Weblogic box above
5. SQL Developer 4.0.2 running on Windows 7 64 bit / Java 1.7.0_55
Updated Apex to 4.2.5 via p17966818_425_Generic.zip patchset. Apex environment running fine as do all applications via Listener 1.1.3
Updated Oracle Listener to the latest version of Oracle REST Data Services 2.0.7
Current Status
Apex Applications and RESTful services are running fine.
Problem
Unable to connect SQL Developer 4.0.2 to Oracle REST Data Services 2.0.7
Error message in SQL Developer - Cannot connect to DEV. HTTP/1.1 403 Target service not allowed
Additional Information
Steps followed -
1. The oracle users APEX_LISTENER and APEX_REST_PUBLIC_USER did not exist, so I ran apex_rest_config.sql from the APEX 2.4.1 patchset whilst connected sys as sysdba and provided the same password as APEX_PUBLIC_USER for both users.
2. I also ran
grant insert, delete on APEX_040200.wwv_flow_rt$privilege_groups to APEX_LISTENER;
alter session set current_schema = APEX_LISTENER;
create or replace synonym wwv_flow_rt$privilege_groups for APEX_040200.wwv_flow_rt$privilege_groups;
as per Oracle SQL Developer User's Guide Release 4.0

NOTHING UNUSUAL IN ANY OF THE WEBLOGIC LOG FILES, EXCEPT THAT IT STATES
'Oracle REST Data Services version : 2.0.6.27.18.06' when I've installed 2.0.7.
Any help much appreciated

Further to the above post, I thought I'd simplify my Apex Listener install just to see if I can connect to it via SQL Developer
So downloaded the latest version 2.0.8 and decided to configure and run the Listener on my pc whilst still connecting to the same database.
Operating system : Window 7 Pro 64 bit
Oracle Apex Listener 2.0.8
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_25-b17)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.25-b01, mixed mode)
Went through the configuration as above, once started I tried again to access the listener via SQL Developer. This time I received this output from the listener:
INFO: Error: ORA-02291: integrity constraint (APEX_040200.WWV_FLOW_RT$APPROVALS_SGID_FK) violated - parent key not found, occurred during execution of: [CALL, insert into wwv_flow_rt$approvals (user_name,status,client_id,security_group_id,created_by,created_on,updated_by,updated_on) values(/*in:user_id*/?,/*in:status*/?,/*in:client_id*/?,/*in:tenant_id*/?,upper(/*in:user_id*/?),/*in:created*/?,upper(/*in:user_id*/?),/*in:created*/?), [tenant_id, in, class java.math.BigInteger], [client_id, in, class java.math.BigInteger], [user_id, in, class java.lang.String], [status, in, class oracle.dbtools.rt.oauth.ApprovalRequest$Status], [created, in, class java.sql.Timestamp]]with values: [adminlistener, APPROVED, 3858401374580004, -1, adminlistener, 2014-06-23 12:19:18.785, adminlistener, 2014-06-23 12:19:18.785]
SQL Developer responded with an Authentication Failed titled dialog with the following displayed in the body of the dialog

Problem connecting to Data/Service outside web root

I'm new to Flash Builder (4.5). I work in an environment where developers have full access to a specified folder and subfolders on a Windows box running IIS 7 and ColdFusion 9.
So the path to the services-config.xml looks like this (server and folder names have been changed, but the structure is the same):
\\servername\flex$
Path to coldfusion root looks like this
\\servername\coldfusion9$
The developers don't have write access to those areas. What we have is
\\servername\webteam$\webcontent\app1
\\servername\webteam$\webcontent\app2
And so on
Then our server admin sets up virtual servers so that our urls look like http://app1.ourdomain.co, app2.ourdomain.com, etc.
I set up a project specifying ColdFusion as the server technology and using the above paths and everything works
I've run set up a couple Hello World tests using <mx:RemoteObject destination="ColdFusion" source="app1.flextest"></mx:RemoteObject> and everything works as expected. (No database connections, just a function that returns a string)
The problem is when I try to exploit the magic of Flash Builder and use the Connect to Data Service feature to write my queries for me : )
I select ColdFusion
In the CFC location I enter
\\servername \webteam$\webcontent\app1\cpa\flextest.cfc
Which is the same working cfc I connected to manually in my Hello World test. Flash Builder automatically populates the Service Name, Service Package, and Data Type Packages and I click next. I enter my RDS password and I then get this error:
The CFC file is invalid. Possible causes can be found by accessing: http://app1.ourdomain.com//CFIDE/componentutils/cfcexplorer.cfc?method=getCFCMetaData&name =flextest&path=%2Fwebcontent%2Fapp1%2Fflextest.cfc
Copying and pasting the url into my browser I get this error:
The value returned from the getCFCMetaData function is not of type struct.
HOWEVER, if I modify the url and remove "%2Fwebcontent%2Fapp1%" I get a response:
E:\webteam\webcontent\app1\flextest.cfcE:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\WEB-INF\cftags\component.cfc WEB-INF.cftags.componentWEB-INF.cftags.componentcomponentcpa.flextestcpa.flextestcomponent remoteflexteststring
So I just need to tell Flash Builder to shorten the path and not add "/webcontent/app1" How?
Sorry it took so long to explain. I've been googling for days and can't find anything. I'm sure there must be other users who develop on servers outside the root path of their web server, right?
P.S. I tried mapping drives but that didn't help
Thanks,
Ron
"Embrace the senile genius"

Hi ,
Check if the database server is up and running.The console will have two root nodes .R they both in green?
Try connecting and entering into the database externally.
Generally if the DB instance is not running , this error would occur.

Connect to Azure Sql DB through WCF Data Service

I am following the tutorial:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee621789.aspx;
Connect to Windows Azure SQL Database Through WCF Data service on a
Windows 8 machine running VS2013. Until starting this tutorial, I have only been using VS for WPF applications. So it might not be properly configured for a web app.
Everything works just fine until I get to the section on Creating the Client Application. Clicking the Discover button populates the services pane with my service. When I click on the service in the pane I get the following Add Service Reference
Error:
There was an error downloading 'http://localhost:62778/testDataService.svc/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/$metadata'.
The request failed with the error message: --- , . . .
If I ignore it and click OK it essentially tells me the same thing:
"There was an error downloading metadata from the address. Please verify that you have entered a valid address."
I am thinking that there is a configuration issue on my machine. Perhaps something needs to be installed or running, . . .
I have tried doing the same steps with a local SqlExpress database, and get the same problem. If I try to go directly to the website via the browser:
http://localhost:62778/testDataService.svc
I get a Request Error.
Any suggestions, thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
From the error message "There was an error downloading 'http://localhost:62778/testDataService.svc/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/$metadata'.", I suspect that you created a folder named _vti_bin, and created wcf data service named ListData, in my test
application, from my experience, you issue may be caused by "$metadata", can you give further information to me, there was a
wcf data service quick start, hope this will help you.
Best Regards
