Data-Source-Aliases

I am trying to create a new data-source-aliases.xml file, however I get this message:
Only alias for test application: No connection can be established to the Nameserver of this Development Component project. This means that you can only make aliases for test applications.
Can anyone tell me what this means and/or how to configure the Nameserver?

To clairfy I am trying to do this on a J2EE / Enterprise Application. This is Step 7 in "Creating the Enterprise Architecture DC (EAR)" in the "Component-based Development from Database Table to Web Dynpro using NWDI" tutorial.
I get the message as soon as I open the context menu of the Ear-Project in the J2EE Development Perspective and select new->META-INF/data-source-aliases.xml.

How to define data-sources-alias.xml to use Oracle data source

Hi,
I created Oracle jdbc Data Source named "MYDS" in Visual Admin. I added the alias = MYDS_ALIAS. I set the Initial Connection to 2. On the Monitor tab, I see a green line running across the screen. The datasource MYDS is connected to the Oracle.
Now, I would like to define "data-sources-alias.xml" to use MYDS.
When creating data-source-aliases.xml it creates the alias by default on ${com.sap.datasource.default} which is the default DB.
I followed the link --> How to point data-source-aliases.xml to another Datasource
and my data-sources-alias.xml is now:
<data-source-aliases>
 <aliases>
 <data-source-name>$</data-source-name>
 <alias>BRANCH50DS</alias>
 </aliases>
</data-source-aliases>
The "EAR generatation has finished successfully", but when "Deploy to J2EE Engine", I got the error below:
1) How to define data-sources-alias.xml to use Oracle data source?
2) I found the link (SDA Deployment error) talking about "sda-dd.xml". How to create "sda-dd.xml" and make it use substitution variables "MYDS"

How to connect to different data sources in XI 3.1 UNIVERSE?

hi experts,
We are going to migrate from BO 6.5 to BO XI3.1.
and we have different data sources to extract and generate the reports using various tools like Webi,Crystal Reports, Deski etc.
1         How to connect to different data sources like SAP BI query, DB2, Oracle etc,, provide me the step by step solution.
2     We need to migrate the universes and reports from BO 6.5 to BO XI 3.1 using the Report Conversion Tool.
can we directly convert from the deski reports to Webi or do we need to migrate first through Import Wizard?
3    Scheduling the Reports through Infoview
4    Various issues and how to resolve those issues, we generally face while scheduling, and while creating the queries like for example time out errors etc..
5    BO Security
6    Universe creation with best practices and the loops,contexts,aliases etc..
please provide me the step by step solution documents and links.
thans in advance
venuscm

I would recommend to take a look at the official documentation. YOu can find this here
http://help.sap.com
NAvugate to SAP BusinessObjects->All products and the select the product you want eg. BusinessObjects ENterprise or Universe designer and the appropriate version XI 3.1. Take a look at the admin and the user guides.
Currently the Data FEderator will allow you to buid a universe that access data from various data sources. Another option is to merge queries from different universes at report level.

Problem opening ODBC data source in Windows 2003

I am having difficulty opening a ODBC data source in SQL
Server 2000 running on Windows 2003 using ColdFusion MX7 (it works
cleanly on the same database on windows 2000 server). Anyone has
any ideas.

Here it is, there is an issue with our Search functionality with the new SDN:
Symptom
When setting location on a Crystal Reports XI Report using the Progress OpenEdge ODBC Driver in Crystal Reports 2008 or Crystal Reports 2011 get “Some tables could not be replaced, as no match was found in the new data source. Please specify the table required for any unmodified tables.”
Environment
Crystal Reports 2008 or 2011
Progress OpenEdge ODBC Driver
Reproducing the Issue
Open a Crystal Report created in CR XI Report using the Progress OpenEdge ODBC Driver in Crystal Reports 2008 or 2011
Set location to a new ODBC Data Source
Get error "some tables could not be replaced, as no match was found in the new data source. Please specify the table required for any unmodified tables.”
Cause
Crystal Reports XI only creates aliases for tables with special characters or duplicate names.
Crystal Reports 2008 introduces a change which requires aliases for all tables.
Aliases are not created when doing a Set Location on the whole data source.
If a Customer has hundreds of reports they cannot set location of each table and fix the aliases.
Resolution
Upgrade to Crystal Reports 2011 Support Pack 02 or higher
Under registry key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\Crystal Reports\Database\ODBC] create string UseTableNameAsAlias and set it to PGPRO1019.DLL, PGOE1022.DLL. Registry file is attached.

Multi data source and global transactions

hi
i am working on JDBC multidata source connectivity.... to resolve one error of "lock in doubt held "
was searching through oracle sites got some recommendation as
**Disable server side load balancing for each of the pools. This can be done by setting the INSTANCE_NAME attribute in your JDBC connect descriptor aliases.**
**For example:**
**jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=MYDBHOST1)(PORT=1522)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=MYDB)(INSTANCE_NAME=MYDB1)))**
**If you miss the INSTANCE_NAME attribute in your JDBC connect descriptor, the Oracle TNS Listener could still redirect you to some other instance depending on the load on the instance in question.**
now i m unable to understand which data sources is to be updated with this URL multi data source or the target data sources
can some body give me some clue........

Every datasource in a MultiDataSource must have a URL that ensures that every connection
in a given DataSource is always, only to one specific and unchanging RAC node.

Setting Up an ODBC Data Source in Windows XP for PostgreSQL Unicode

Can someone help me setup an ODBC data source for a PostgreSQL Unicode database?
1. Under which tab(s) should I setup the Data Source: User DSN, System DSN, File DSN?
2. The check boxes on Advanced Options Pages 1 and 2, which should be checked?
I have Crystal Report XI, Windows XP, and PostgreSQL Unicode Version 08.1.0100.

Error in Creation of BW data source

Hi All,
While creating a data source, i am selecting the Origin type Business ware house cube & in the RFC destination field i can able to select the BW syste. The problem is when i go to the next filed BW report and try to get the relevant BW report from F4 the system shows a log error as "System error in System" Message no. CRM_MKTTG_DS_MISC033.
In second case
I have taken an existing BW Data source and tried to recreate it manually filling all the fields with existing data source, RFC destination, BW report, Business partner and Function module.
In this case the system doesnu2019t throws any error, it is working fine if I create manually.
I am in a dilema why the system behaving like this. could you please throw some light on this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Vijay.

Unable to capture the Data Source into a Transport Request

Hi All,
We have a product hierarchy and we are using the data source :4R_PRODH_D_LGEN_HIER for the hierarchy.
Now we need to transport this structure to the quality environment but we were not able to capture the datasource:4R_PRODH_D_LGEN_HIER into a transport request.
When ever we activate the data source:4R_PRODH_D_LGEN_HIER it is asking for the Package and the Transport Request Number.If we give these details and save it, data source is not getting captured in the request, only the "bject Directory Entry" is getting captured.
Can someone please guide me on how to capture the datasource under "Data Sources in BW" in a transport request.
Regards,
Sachin Dehey.

Hi Sachin,
Hierarachy datasource is not captured as Attributes and Text Datasource. So what ever you have done is correct.
What ever is captured in Object Directory Entry is correct. So go ahead with your transports, once transport is done check the Hierarchy Infopackage with Available OLTP hierarchies and load the data.
Most important thing first see that the all Master & Transactional Datasources are transported in R/3 Dev to QA to PRD
In BW, datasources are not transported, only their replica is transported.
Transportation of Datasource is done in R/3. Only their replica is transported in BW.
So wht ever you have done till now is correct. So go ahead.
While attaching Hierarchy Datasource it is captured only in "Object Directory Entry"

Vishnu.

Using a SQL data source and XML data source in the same template

I am trying to develop a template for the Request for Quote report generated in Apps 11.5.10. I have loaded the data from the XML output into the template, but I am missing one field - I need the org_id from the po_headers table. Is it possible to use a sql data source (i.e., "select org_id from po_headers_all where po_header_id = [insert header_id from xml data]...") in addition to the xml data source to populate the template at runtime? When you use the Insert > SQL functionality is it static at the time the template is created, or does it call to the database at runtime? I've looked through all the docs I could find, but this isn't clear.
Thanks for any help or suggestions you may have.
Rhonda

Hi Pablo
Thats a tough one ... if you go custom with a data template you will at least get support on the data template functionality ie you have a problem when you try and build one. You will not get support on the query inside the data template as you might have gotten with the Oracle Report, well you could at least log a bug against development for a bad query.
Eventually that Oracle Report will be converted by development anyway, theres an R12 project going on right now to switch the shipped OReports to data templates. AT this point you'll be fully supported again but:
1. You have to have R12 and
2. You'll need to wait for the patch
On reflection, if you are confident enough in the query then Oracle will support you on its implementation within a data template. Going forward you may be able to swap out your DT and out in the Oracle one without too much effort.

"Open sql" report no data sourced defined in windows

when I want to import data from sql database, the Open sql window report error
"There are no data sourced defined. Please create one to continue",
but I have defined the odbc data source using windows 's odbc administrator, why the error?
chuliang

A couple of possibilities.
First are you licensed for Sql interface? If not, you might get that message.
Second, where did you create the ODBC connection on your computer or the server. It has to be on the server.
Third, did you create the odbc as a system driver? it needs to be so
Fourth, what operating system? If it's unix or AIX there is a hole bunch more you need to do to get odbc connections working. If it's windows, it's pretty easy.
Fifth, did you test the connection before trying it in Essbase?

Excel-2007 cannot connect to Oracle ODBC data source, Control Panel can.


I cannot make an ODBC connection from Exce-2007 to Oracle work. I am an expert Excel and VBA user (since 1994) and I have frequently used Excel to access ODBC databases, including Oracle (I have done this with Excel-2003 both with worksheet queries and have written VBA ADO-connection routines). And even though in Excel-2007 a worksheet ODBC query is supposed to be easier to create than in previous version of Excel, my connection fails. Any suggestions and all help are welcome and much appreciated.
DETAILS


1) What is my system? I am using Excel-2007 on Windows Vista x64 and Oracle server v.11g on my computer (all this is on my computer, no network issues).
2) Why use Excel with Oracle at all? I use Excel-2007 to access Oracle rather than Access-2007 (or any other application like TOAD, etc.) because I do engineering calculations with the data stored in Oracle. These calculations are easier done in Excel (I suppose that one alternative to this could be to use some sql or Access to get the data from the database, then store it as plain vanilla CSV file, then open this file in Excel, then do the math (the math involves complex optimisation algorithms), then save the results as CSV, then use some sql or Access to put the data back into the database. Howwever this does not strike me as a quick or neat solution. And after all Excel has been designed to access ODBC databases, so why not use it?)
3) What do I do in Excel-2007 that won't work? I create an ODBC link to Oracle that does not work. In Excel-2007 this is straightforward:

<ul>
<li>define an ODBC connection (Data tab --> From other sources --> From data connection wizard);</li>
<li>define a query on the worksheet -- that's it, this is all!</li>
</ul>

I start with creating an ODBC connection:
a) I choose an ODBC data source type: ODBC DSN
b) Excel-2007 displays the list of the available ODBC data sources. I see in it my Oracle database name and I select it.
c) Excel-2007 displays the Data Link Properties:
- the "Provider" has a list of the OLE DB drivers with preselected "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers". I keep this default selection.
- the "Connection" tab has a connection string "DSN=<my database name>" which I keep, it also has fields for the user name and the password, which I fill with the correct credentials.
- Finally there is a button "Test Connection", which when I click produces the following error message:
"Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. 
Unespecified error"

4) Additional food for thought:
a) In the above walk-through the only data, which I type, are the user name and password, everything else is selected from lists offered by Excel-2007, hence any possibility of typos being the cause of the problem can safely be discarded.
b) I can test the ODBC driver in the Control Panel and it shows that it can connect to the Oracle database:
- in Control Panel --> Admin Tools --> Data Sources (ODBC) on the "User DSN" tab I can see the list of the available ODBC data sources (same list as in Excel-2007, point 3b above) with the name of my database in it;
- selecting the name of my database from the list of the sources and clicking "Configure" button opens a tab with Data Source Name (same as in Excel-2007), TNS Service Name and User ID. I enter <user name>/<password> and click "Test Connection" button. A message "Connection successful" appears (just for a test I enter incorrect user credentials and "Unable to connect" message appears)
BOTTOM LINE


The procedure for using an ODBC connection from Excel is very simple, in the past I have created and used such connections numerous times with Excel-2003 and earlier on Win-XP and earlier. But now on Excel-2007 and Vista-x64 I cannot make it work.
Also, testing an ODBC connection driver is really easy and simple to be done in the Control Panel. There testing the same ODBC connection, which fails in Excel-2007, results in success.
I am frustrated by the simplicity of the problem and yet the persistant error. I have lost now two full days in failed attempts to make the simple procedure work and in searching the internet for answers.
All help is highly appreciated <img class="emoticon" src="images/emoticons/happy.gif" border="0" alt="" width="16" height="16" />,

Did you find the solution to your problem?
If not, I think I may know.
Excel 2007 is a 32-bit application.
When installing 32-bit applications in a 64-bit environment, the "default" location is:
C:\Program files (x86)\...
Excel then launches from this location.
However, when it connects to Oracle and passes the name of the calling program, Oracle attempts to "interpret" the value of (x86) as if
the value within the parenthesis are being passed as a reference. Of course, iOracle doesn't find anything, so the result is (),
and then it cannot return the connection info back to the calling application.
I corrected it by installing Excel in C:\Program Files\, and once launched from that location, it works the same as on the 32-bit machines.
However, at my location, they are FORCING Excel to be installed in the(x86) location.
What I'm trying to discover now is:
Is it possible to flag Oracle to NOT process the embedded variables?
Or, is it possible to assign a variable in Oracle such that x86 = "(x86)", so that the end result is viable?
Have you had any luck with your installation?
thanks,
Paul

Refreshing the Data Source View in Analysis Services

I have added columns to the SQL Database table that is used as a dimension in an Analysis Services Cube. The new columns will be used as additional Property Fields for the dimension. When I attempted to refresh the Data Source view so that the additional columns are present, I am given the following error:
System.Data
Property not accessible because 'Parent Columns and Child Columns don't have type-matching columns'
I have done nothing to the columns used for the parent of child and the error message provides nothing to gon on. Does anyone have any ideas on this?
Gary

Olga,
Thanks for your response. I will try and answer your questions
1) I have not tried removing the columns yet. I will try that this afternoon but have limited hope. The two columns I added are simple text columns that will be used as attributes in the dimension. I have made no change to the parent or child columns.
2) The table I modified is the source table for a parent-child dimension.
3) The reference to the "check list" does not take me to any kind of check list.
4) The parent-child dimensions I am trying to modify have been in use for months and the parent and child columns do have the dame data types.
5) I have also check the data types between the dimension table and the fact table. they use the same data types (small int).
6) I have not made a collection for the parent key, it is a single column. The remainder of your last paragraph is not clear to me. Can you give me an example.
I am fairly inexperienced with Analysis Services, please talk slow and use small words :-)
Thanks again for your help!
Gary

The invocation resulted in an error: Invoke JCA outbound service failed with application error, exception: com.bea.wli.sb.transports.jca.JCATransportException: oracle.tip.adapter.sa.api.JCABindingException: oracle.tip.adapter.sa.impl.fw.ext.org.collaxa.thirdparty.apache.wsif.WSIFException: servicebus:/WSDL/DBAdapter1/RetrievePersonService [ RetrievePersonService_ptt::RetrievePersonServiceSelect(RetrievePersonServiceSelect_inputParameters,PersonTCollection) ] - WSIF JCA Execute of operation 'RetrievePersonServiceSelect' failed due to: Could not create/access the TopLink Session.

I created a basic DBAdapter in JDeveloper, got the xsd file, wsdl file, .jca file and the topLink mapping file imported them into OSB project.
Then I used the .jca file to generate a business service, and tested, then the error occurs as described above.

Hi Anuj,
Thanks for your reply!
I found that the data source is registered on server soa_server1 as follows:
Binding Name: jdbc.soademoDatabase
Class: weblogic.jdbc.common.internal.RmiDataSource_1033_WLStub
Hash Code: 80328036

I don't know how to determine which server the DBAdapter is targetted to.
But I found the following information:
Under Deoloyment->DBAdapter->Monitoring->Outbound Connection Pools
Outbound Connection Pool Server State Current Connections Created Connections
eis/DB/SOADemo AdminServer Running 1 1
eis/DB/SOADemo soa_server1 Running 1 1
eis/DB/soademoDatabase AdminServer Running 1 1
eis/DB/soademoDatabase soa_server1 Running 1 1
The DbAdapter is related to the following files:
C:\ Oracle\ Middleware\ home_11gR1\ Oracle_SOA1\ soa\ connectors\ DbAdapter. rar
C:\ Oracle\ Middleware\ home_11gR1\ Oracle_SOA1\ soa\ DBPlan\ Plan. xml
I unzipped DbAdapter.rar, opened weblogic-ra.xml and found that there's only one data source is registered:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<weblogic-connector xmlns="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90">

</weblogic-connector>
Then I decided to use eis/DB/SOADemo for testing.
For JDeveloper project, after I deployed to weblogic server, it works fine.
But for OSB project referencing wsdl, jca and mapping file from JDeveloper project, still got the same error as follows:
BEA-380001: Invoke JCA outbound service failed with application error, exception:

You may need to configure the connection settings in the deployment descriptor (i.e. DbAdapter.rar#META-INF/weblogic-ra.xml) and restart the server. This exception is considered not retriable, likely due to a modelling mistake.
It almost drive me crazy!!:-(
What's the purpose of 'weblogic-ra.xml' under the folder of 'C:\Oracle\Middleware\home_11gR1\Oracle_OSB1\lib\external\adapters\META-INF'?

Error while activating the data source.

Dear all,
We are using the BI version 7.00 - i have a problem i.e., while creating the infopackage for the data source
0PM_OM_OPA_2 the following error is displayed.
"No active transfer rule for DS 0PM_OM_OPA_2 and ....source system CLNTDEV400; create first..."
Moreover the data source is found to be in version "M" - while activating the same when in click on the display/change icon , the following error is popped up.
"You can only edit 3.x DataSources using transfer rule
maintenance Do you want to create the transfer rules now?"
What could be the reason for this error. What are the things that are to be done to replicate the data and pull data?
Valid experts comment is expected in this regard.
Regards,
M.M

Hi Magesh,
Replicate your data source in BW and then right click onit and choose Assign Info source, it may take you to BC wherein you may need to install the Transfer Rules and related info objects etc.... Once you maintain this data source in the source system then you can create an info pack withput any extra effort.
Hope it helps..
