Datastore External Metadata refresh

I have a datastore defined as an ODBC database type connection to an IBM AS/400. I the ODBC setup, I have a library list defined and all the files from those show up in the External Metadata of the datastore in Data Integrator. So far, so good, everything works great!
Now I add a library in the library list in the ODBC setup for the IBM AS/400 but when I go back the datastore in Data Integrator, the files from the new library do NOT show up for me to select in the list in External Metadata??
Any idea if I can refresh those files for that datastore and how I can do that?
Thanks !!!

was the list of external metadata window open in Designer whe you added the library in ODBC setup ?
close the metadata list window and double click on the datastore again and see if that works

External Data Refresh Failed. We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model. ThisWorkBookDataModel

Hi All,
I have been trying to fix this for days now. I have tried solutions in many articles but to no avail. So while the error message is something you may have seen may times, I just can't find a solution in my case.
This is the error:
And in text just in case the image isn't viewable:
"External Data Refresh Failed. We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model. We were unable to refresh one or more data connections in this workbook. The following connections failed to refresh: ThisWorkBookDataModel."
What is worse is I have checked the ULS (SharePoint Trace Logs), the Event Viewer Logs and the OWA Logs and I cannot find a specific error that would help pin point the problem.
Excel Workbook
So what am I doing? I have an Excel 2013 workbook and I create an "SQL Server" connection to the AdventureWorksDW database, add a pivot table and a pivot chart, test in in Excel and all works fine.
I save the Excel workbook to SharePoint 2013 and then select "Data" then "Refresh All Connections" and then I get the error in the picture above.
Even more puzzling is I have another Excel workbook that also has pivot tables and pivot charts in the AdventureWorksDW2012Multidimensional cube database in "SQL Analysis Services" and this works fine. Hmmm.
My Environment
My environment is Windows 2008 R2 Server, SharePoint 2013 with the April Service Pack1 and a separate server with OWA2013 SP1. It has an SQL Server 2008 R2 database which has been upgraded to SQL Server 2012.
Data Model Settings
In Excel Services this is set to my server name which is "server-name". As I do not have instances all I can enter is the server name. As this works everywhere else including the workbook outside of SharePoint I do not think this is the problem.
But I could be wrong.
Unattended Account
I have set this up for the PowerPivot Services App and Excel Services App.
ODC Connections in Excel
I have tried all 3 authentication modes, Windows, Secure Store ID and "None" which is the unattended account. I have not tried the other connection types, should I?
Not in WOPI
I am not in WOPI mode.
AD Accounts
I have added permissions in the SharePoint Services and SQL Server, and as they work in Excel outside of SharePoint, I do not think it is a permissions issue. I could be wrong of course, but the problem is in one of SharePoint, OWA, AD,
SQL Server, Excel, and Windows Server.
Isolate the Error
Below is a list of errors I think are relevant but they do not tell me much. The SharePoint logs are not really giving me an error that tells me what to do and where to do it, or even why it cannot refresh, (perhaps not noticeable by the untrained eye).
Problem with SQL Server Not Analysis Services
So my cube database in analysis services works fine in SharePoint/OWA but not the databases in sql server. This is my best clue but I have no idea what it means. Why would it work with an Analysis Services connection but not an "SQL Server" connection?
It Works Outside of SharePoint
If I run the excel worksheet outside of SharePoint all works fine. When inside OWA this is where the refresh error occurs.
Errors from Event Viewer on SharePoint Server using ULS Viewer
"Failed to create an external connection or execute a query. Provider message: There are no servers available or actively being initialized., ConnectionName: , Workbook:"
"Refresh failed for 'ThisWorkbookDataModel' in the workbook 'http://server...'. [Session: 1.V22.26itT0lx8piNFeqtuGVhN214.5.en-US5.en-US36.98c0e158-9113-46e9-850e-edda81d9ed1c1.A1.N User: 0#.w|ad\testuser1]"
And an error in the ULS under the "Data Model" category:
"--> Check Deployment Mode (server-name): Fail (Expected: SharePoint, Actual: Multidimensional)."
This last error, as it turned out, defined the problem concisely, although I was yet to work out what it meant in some detail.

I finally solved this myself (or should I say with the help of several key articles).
The refresh did not work because the database was not in "SharePoint Mode". Yes, SQL Server has modes, 3 of them in fact.
If you installed SharePoint to the default SQL instance which would be called <servername> then you cannot use this default instance for Excel 2013 workbooks in OWA 2013 because the refresh only works if the database is in SharePoint mode.
So what are these 3 modes? The Deployment Mode property in the msmdsrv.ini file has them as:
0 = Multidimensional mode (the default whenever you install SQL Server normally)
1 = PowerPivot for SharePoint mode
2 = Tabular mode mode
How do you know what mode you are in? That's easy, open SQL Studio Manager and connect to all your SQL database engine instances (ignore Analysis Services or SSRS as they are not database engines). If you only have the default instance then that is almost
definately in Multidimensional mode which is the default and what SharePoint installs its databases to.
You must have an instance called <servername>\POWERPIVOT. This instance is the "sharepoint mode" needed, and the default instance name when you install an SQL instance in this mode.
If you don't see <servername>\POWERPIVOT in SQL server then you are not in "sharepoint mode". It is more accurate to say, you do not have an instance that is in sharepoint mode. This is because you cannot simply switch modes on an SQL server.
You have to install a new instance in the required mode, thats the only way.
That's easy enough. Load up the SQL Server setup CD and run setup. Install a brand new instance and select "SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint" when you get there in the wizard.
Now you will have the default instance that stores all the SharePoint databases and that is in mode 0, and a new instance called <servername>\POWERPIVOT that is in mode 1. The "<servername>\POWERPIVOT" instance connection is what you
will use for Excel 2013 when rendering in OWA 2013.
You also need to ensure OWA 2013 is not in WOPI mode for Excel worksheets. See the last link below for more information about WOPI.
Next you should go to the Excel Service App in CA and click Data Model Settings and add the <servername>\POWERPIVOT instance.
Then you have to either turn off the firewall on the SQL server machine, or create an inbound rule on the Windows firewall to open the TCP port for the <servername>\POWERPIVOT instance:
1. Start Task Manager and then click Services to get the PID of the MSOLAP$InstanceName.
2. Run netstat –ao –p TCP from the command line to view the TCP port information for that PID.
Finally, you can now create Excel 2013 workbooks that run in OWA without refresh errors, as long as you are connecting to the <servername>\POWERPIVOT instance. Hooray.

Hi,
If you are still facing the same issue follow the below steps:
1) Access PWA from your server
2) Download any built in report from Reports section (in your case
Project Server - Issue Data Project
Server - Risk Data) to your server.
3) Open report in excel, go to Data->Connections in Workbook Connection dialog open "Project Server - Issue Data" go to properties.
4) Here select tab 'Definition' under connection file remove tick for 'Always use connection file'
5) Tweak your connection string & tick save password option
6) Excel Services: Authentication Settings (suit yourself)
Now, save & publish on PWA, hope it works :)

"External Data Refresh Failed" in Excel Workbook in SharePoint 2013

Hi Everyone,
I hope someone can help me sort this out. I wasn't sure if this should be submitted to SQL Server 2012 or SharePoint 2013 but I think I have ruled out an actual SQL issue here.
I have a test SharePoint 2013 Farm installed on one server. On that server we have SQL Server 2012 Standard (Database Engine Only) installed as one instance for SharePoint 2013. SharePoint 2013 is installed as Enterprise.
On another server I have SQL Server 2012 Enterprise installed I have both the Database Engine and Analysis Services installed on that server in one Instance.
I have created a new Analysis Services Cube and stored in on that server using VS 2012 Data Tools.   I then use Office 2013 Excel and create a new Pivot Table and bring in that data into that workbook. I save that workbook to my desktop and
can click on the DATA tab and do a "Refresh All" and the data is refreshed with no problem.
I then Save that Workbook to SharePoint 2013 in my Business Center documents library. I then try to do a Data Refresh and get the following error: External Data Refresh Failed. We were unable to refresh one or more data connections in the workbook. The following
connections failed to refresh: servername ConnectionName.
Let me tell you a little bit about how I have my SharePoint 2013 setup.
In Application Management ==> Secure Store Service - I have a Target Application Id setup with an AD account name and password.
In Application Management ==> Excel Services Application Settings - I an using an Unattended Service Account that is pointing to the Target Application ID that I setup in Secure Store Service.
Now in SQL Server 2012. I have made the AD account name and password a SYSADMIN account (because nothing seemed to work) and mapped that login to my Database that I created my cube from.
I have went into the Properties of my Analysis Server on SQL Server 2012 and out that AD userid in the Security Page as a Server Administrator.
Now let me tell you the real kicker here.
I also have a Sharepoint 2010 farm that we have been testing for about a year. This is something we wanted to go into production with but now have decided we will deploy our new production site on 2013.
This has the same setup only I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 as my database for SharePoint 2010, and am using SQL Server 2008 R2 on another server and instance for Database Engines and Analysis Server.
I have already created a cube on the SQL 2008 r2 Analysis Server using BIDS.
I created a Excel Pivot Table based on that cube and save it to the SharePoint 2013 site.
I then put the SSS AD account name on the SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services Security as Administrator.
I pull up that Excel Workbook and go into Data and do a Refresh All and it works.
I then bring up my copy of the Excel workbook I created for my SQL Server 2012 Cube (this does not work on SP 2013) and save it to my Business Center in SP 2010. This will do a DATA Refresh on that workbook.
Another thing that I have done, (we have Office Web Apps Server running on the SP 2013 side), is set SPWOPISuppressSetting -view -extension xlsx so that when I bring up the Excel spreadsheet in 2013 it has a url with the xlviewer instead of the WOPI
url.
OK. I have went through all of my setup.   I am must wondering if I missed something in my install for this. HELP.   There can't be that much difference in the installation between 2010 and 2013.
Thanks in Advance everyone.

After many hours of research and totally burning down my SQL Server 2012 server because of the many changes I made to it, I finally found the issue that caused this and specifically why SP would not work with SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services. This
time I reinstalled SQL Server 2012 from scratch again but only put SP1 on at this time. I can't be completely sure this fixed the issue since I have not put any of the other CU on the box. But, after the reinstall, everything seemed to work
perfectly from the Excel Services side.
The issue I then ran into was that I could not get my PerformancePoint Services to work with my Cubes that were created on SQL Server 2012. I received Error Message " The DataSource Provider for data sources of type 'ADOMD.NET' is not registered" on
my SharePoint 2013 Server Event Viewer.
I finally found this post on the issue:
http://yossidahan.wordpress.com/2012/08/14/cant-get-ssas-databases-to-appear-in-performance-point-dashboard-designer-check-you-adomd-net-version/
Seems that SP 2013 is built to use SQL Server 2008 R2 Analysis Services, so you need to install the ADOMD.net from SQL Server 2008 in order for it to work.   But make sure you install Version 10 since if you install any other it doesn't seem to
work.
I feel like I wasted a whole month tracking these issues down, and I haven't been able to test PowerView, PowerPivot or SSRS yet. I hope there is not any more.

SDK-UI - Control of the Metadata Refresh Option

When creating metadata the SBO Client need to do a meta-data refresh in order to see new data. In a developers world that is no big problem, but to the customer it means that every time something must be changed, they need to be aware of the Refresh-window (since I closes all windows). Also we canu2019t trigger the metadata refresh form (we only have the option to suppress it while creating data. We should have at least have the option to trigger it, but best solution would of cause to not need it at all).

Regd Metadata refresh

Hi,
We face this issue when ever we have a change in the import/export/table changes in function modules in our back end system.
This Custom Function module has one table T1(two columns C1 and C2).
Normal webdynpro development process is followed, create model etc and the webdynpro works fine.
We go to the function module and add a new column C3 or and delete Column C2 to the table T1 in the function module
We reimport the model, we are able to see the new changes which was made to the table like new column C3 etc and context is also updated with the new columns.
After rebuilding and deploying, we get a error, the field mentioned in C3 not found, exception occured in binding etc.
This error keeps coming, even we revert the changes in Function Module and reimport and do the all the necessary changes to the project to revert to old status.
This error goes OFF only when WAS is restarted.
I feel some thing to do with Metadata refresh.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks
Senthil

Hi SenthilKumar,
You are right. Every time you change the signature of funciton module, you need to re-import the model.
Also you need to restart the WebAS server to make sure that the changes are reflected in webdynpro.
Hence it is not a good practice to keep changing the signature of function module. 1st create and test the function module. If it is proper, then only think of importing it into webdynpro. Or else, you have to restart the server every time.

External Data Refresh failed - Unable to refresh list data in Excel Web Access WebPart

Hi,
I have created a PivotChart in Excel workbook that fetches data from a SharePoint list using "OData Data Feed". When refreshing the connection in Excel 2013, the updated data is displayed in PivotChart. But when i upload the same to a SharePoint
Library and refresh it through Excel Web Access WebPart, it throws an error.
After configuring PowerPivot for SharePoint, i am getting a "We cannot locate a server to load the Data Model" error.
Note -
SQL Analysis Service(PowerPivot) is in running state.
PowerPivot Server has been under Data Model in Excel Service setting.
The library location is added in trusted zone.
Using secure store didn't fix the issue.

Hi,
For your issue, the possible reason is that the SharePoint environment does not have a PowerPivot for SharePoint server, or the SQL Server Analysis Services (PowerPivot) service is stopped.
Install PowerPivot for SharePoint or move the PowerPivot workbook to a SharePoint environment that has PowerPivot for SharePoint installed.
If the software is installed, verify that the SQL Server Analysis Services (PowerPivot) instance is running. Check Manage services on server in Central Administration. Also check the Services console application in Administrative Tools.

External Monitor refresh rate conflict

I've got the PB 12" and for a longtime have been using a 17" Soyo monitor with the computer closed and Bluetooth devices. It's a great setup. Now one time disconnected it to take the powerbook, and now I can't run it with just the 17" monitor. I don't want two screens, and I don't want a 12" screen. However, every time I now try to close and wake up the computer, it says the there is a problem with the resolution and the refresh rate, it says it's "Out of Range". Now I figure it's because the computer is trying to send signals to my external monitor just like it was my Powerbook, but my screen can't show them because it has different specs than the powerbook monitor. Please help, if you need more information, please ask.

you have a CRT projector? If it is a 16:9 projector it doesn't really matter if the refresh rate is at 75 or 85 hz.
I know the x200 can do at least 75 hz at 720p, not sure if it can do any higher.

Metadata refresh for Guest Account

Hi All,
Recently I faced a strange issue.
I had some changes made at the back-end table data.
When I logged in as Guest I saw the report reflecting the changes but when one another end user logged in,he was not able to see those changes in the report, Next day he was able to see the desired results.
Pretty obvious the metadata was not refreshed.
But why did it happened, how can metadata behave differently for Guest and other users.
Can someone throw some light at the possible reasons for this issue.
Is there some predefined mechanism for Cache maintenance for Guest account?
Thanks in advance,
Anurag

Thanks for the response John, but how will one come to know if a old session id has been picked.
This is something really serious as it may cause unupdated data to be displayed to the user.
Any possible solutions to prevent this sort of issue from duplicating in future.
Thanks in advance.

Metadata Refresh Hang

Hi All,
While refreshing the metadata in ERP Integrator for one location the status shows continuous running, actually it takes very less time however it’s taking more time. Is it Ok to load data without/before refreshing data get completes?
Thanks in Advance!

Hi,
It is annoying in that version how the refresh works in early versions, I am so glad they have done away with that method now.
Anyway, is it just one member move that is causing the issue? Sometimes its easier to go in AAS/EAS and move the member in all the databases and then try the refresh again, hopefully this will trick planning if there is nothing in the pending transaction tables (also it is worth restarting planning to make sure it has not cached anything in the tables)
Cheers

OLEDB Source/Destination Metadata refresh

Hi Everyone,
Is there any way we can turn off the case sensitivity of OLEDB Source/Destination metadata. The package fails whenever there is a change in the case of columns. For e.g. if RecordID becomes Recordid, the metadata needs to be refreshed.
I am aware that metadata needs to be set before we can execute the DFT but curious if there's any way we can turn off the case sensitivity.
Thanks and regards,
Jatin

Sadly, none that I am aware of.
hing is the package captures a snapshot of the metadata as a hash (I assume) a change in case would invalidate this hash.

External Data Refresh Failed

Expert,
I installed Excel Service in my sharepoint 2013 server and created a odc file to connect our SSAS server. but run the excel file that I save as in SharePoint, I got error message.
"A error occurred while accessing application id Excel_SSAS from secure store service". I google and try to update/modified, but still got error.
For example,
1. in Secure Service, I created an application id: Excel_SSAS, use domain name\<My Name> for credentials.
2. in Excel service application, I set http://portal.contoso.com/sites/BI/ in trust file location. and http://portal.contoso.com/sites/bi/data%20connections/ in trusted data connection libraries.
3. Open Excel 2013 to created a data connection with Excel_SSAS in Excel Service and export to .../BI/Data%20Connections/
4. use this connection to create a PT then save as /BI/ReportLibrary/.
Does anybody can help ?

Hi James,
As I understand, you want to reset IE 11.
You could follow the steps below:
1. Close all Internet Explorer windows that are currently open.
2. Open the desktop, and then tap or click the Internet Explorer icon on the taskbar. Changing your settings will affect both Internet Explorer and Internet Explorer for the desktop.
3. Tap or click the Tools button, and then tap or click Internet options.
4. Tap or Click the Advanced tab, and then tap or click Reset.
5. In the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box, tap or click Reset.
6. When Internet Explorer finishes applying default settings, tap or click Close, and then tap or click OK.
You'll need to restart your PC for these changes to take effect.
The article below is about Change or reset Internet Explorer settings
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/reset-ie-settings#ie=ie-11
About the issue that you cannot open "Open in Excel" & "Data Refresh", "Find" in IE 11. You could also add the SharePoint site to the trust site in IE 11 to check if it can work. (go to tools button in IE 11->internet
options->security tab->trusted sites->sites->add site)

How to reimport/refresh external CAF services?

Hi Guys,
I have imported a CAF service into my CAF via webservice. However, there is an issue here.
Whenever there is an update of the external webservice, there isnt any refresh or reimport function that I can perform.
Instead I have to remove all mappings, delete the external service and then import them again.
This method is very tedious as I have to redo the mappings again.
Is there is more elegant of doing external service refresh ?
Thanks.

After you delete the songs on the memory stick, you need to *empty the trash* to recover that space for reuse.

Retrieving Model's metadata using OdiRef

Folks,
Does anyone knows how to get the "resource name" from a file type model, using odiRef?
Let me be more specific: in a interface, when mapping a value to a target column, I have to insert the file name of a model's resource name. Have to note that the interface's target model is not the same model from which the resource name is being sought.
The idea here is not harcoding strings in a mapping. Instead, take the string from a model's metadata.
I've looked the "Introduction to the Substitution API" (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E25178_01/integrate.1111/e12645/api_intro.htm) and the "A.2.33 getModel() Method" (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E25178_01/integrate.1111/e12645/odiref_reference.htm#CIAJGCDG) but none of them gave me clues. Worse, the getModel() method refers to the current model that's being worked on, not an arbitrary model.

Not sure if you will have an API for that or not.
But even the file name is hardcoded inside the File Datastore and once you generate the scenario, it is going to be hardcoded.
Another way to accomplish what you need is by using a Variable in the Resource name of the file datastore. And refresh this name from a DB table or something like that.
Use this variable in your mapping.
This way you will have your requirement fulfilled while keeping the process clean of hard codings

SOAP DataStore for MS CRM Dynamics is empty!!

All,
I've tried to setup a web services SOAP DataStore to a MS CRM Dynamics instance. After putting in the URL for the WSDL nothing shows up in the external metadata for import???
I do not receive any error messages (that I can find). I've also tested the WSDL with SoapUI and it works - I can see some operations to import...
What do I need to do to get Data Services to see these operations!!!
SoapUI operations...
Nothing in Data Services:

Save the wsdl file on the local disk of your DS server. Edit your datastore definition and put the file name in the Web Service URL:
Then try again.
