EVDRE encountered an error retrieving data from the Web Server

Hi,
I'm working on a presales AppSet "Demo5b".
When I create a brand-new EVDRE report on FINANCE app, there is no problem.
However, after changing to ICMATCHING app, when I type =EVDRE() on a blank sheet and press Refresh, the following message pops up.
EVDRE encountered an error retrieving data from the Web Server
Retrying in (??) seconds
Any idea why this happens and how it can be solved?
Thanks!
Sunny

Hi Joost,
I have the same problem. When I try to retrieve data on an input schedule is launched that error.
I am working on an VM on MS BPC.
I am not working with cubes so the solution is not the same.
If i process all my dimensions this error does not appear any more?
Best regards,
Vitor

Error retrieving data from the web server in Excel fo BPC

Hello Everybody,
I'm working with BPC v7.5 , i created some reports with the EVDRE formula and they were working perfectly.
The problem started when i created new users, that in fact have the same access profile and task profile as my user.
i started to test these new users in excel and every time i expand the report this legend appears: " EVDRE Retrying... EVDRE encountered an error retrieving data from the Web Server. Retrying in (X) Seconds...". After waiting a while a push cancel, then appears a window with the legend: Ev4excel Addin, Errors found retriening data.
The funny thing is that when i login back to my user everything works fine again, any idea what could be the problem? the other user have the same permissions.
Thanks a lot in advance!!
Nidia Olguí

very strange. Normally the member access profile must be diifferent. So it is not important the task profile but the member access profile. Can you please double check ?
If you are doing a simple EVDRE with users having problems is it working or you still have problems?

"evdre encountered a problem retrieving data from the webserver"

Hi
We are using a big report which takes very long time to expand and sometimes we get the error message "evdre encountered a problem retrieving data from the webserver" when expanding the report, but not very often for most of our users. But we have one user who gets this error message almost every second time he expands the report. This user have a computer with same capacity as the rest of us, can there be some setting on the computer or in the client installtion the cause this problem?
We are using BPC 5.1 SP 5
/Fredrik

Hi,
This error occurs usually if we have huge data in combination of our dimensions.
Even, if the selection of your memberset is not apt to the combination of the data present in the back end, you may encounter a data retrival error.

EVDRE encountered an error retriving data from web server in PROD

Hi friends,
We are checking Evdre reports in BPC production system. We checked few application' EVdre input templates & reports and are fine.
But yesterday evening onwards we are facing below error message.
EVDRE encountered an error retriving data from web server. This message we are getting for all BPC applications in BPC production. There is no short dump in backend.
But when i checked in BPC developement there is no probelm.
We are on BPC7.5 NWsp04 and BI7.01.
In BPC, production,when i try to create evdre template(just after filling
information in evdre builder), immediately getting same error information.
I read few notes, did as per that but sill problem exists. In note, mentioned process dim of particular application and process application. Logout from bpc admin & excel. I did this and, that error message not received for upto 20min. After that i'm getting error. We checked communciation between ABAP layer and bpc, reset IIS also. Still same probelm exists.
Any suggestions pls.
thanks,
naresh

Hi frineds,
SAP OSS team resolved along with our basis guy.
Initially SAP supported notes:
1.1475233 and 1378705 Process all dimensions and applications.
2.1355954 Drop SAP temp tables.
3.1428764 confilict only if you use Oracle 10 g, if you don't, then forget it.
I used 1378705 and problem resolved temporarly, but still exists after 1 day.
There are different reasons for getting the error message. In our case, problem is at backend BW and, BW system running on HP unix OS.
Checked librfc32.dll in the
directory /usr/sap/BP1/DVEBMGS00/exe.
Executed the following MDX statment in MDXTEST transcaction, and it
executed in both the available instances.
SELECT
{[Measures].MEMBERS} ON COLUMNS,
[0MATERIAL].[LEVEL00].MEMBERS ON ROWS
FROM [$ZCO_CDPC].
Even i also don't have clue how SAP resolved this issue.

Error retrieving data from the payload

Hi all,
I have a sample process which receive the xml payload posted (with http post) from another process. I am able to see the data in my input payload, but I am not able to use either assignment or transformation to get the value of any element from that payload. If I use the getNodeValue, I am able to see the data of each element.
e.g., the xml that was posted to this process is
=========
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<stockquotes>
<stock_quote>
<symbol>ABCDEFG</symbol>
<when>
<date>01/27/2001</date>
<time>3:40PM</time>
</when>
<change>-2.1875</change>
<volume>8050200</volume>
</stock_quote>
</stockquotes>
=================
In my input payload, I am seeing as
=========
<Receive_XMLNode_InputVariable>
<part name="RequestMessage">
<RequestMessage>
<stock_quote>
<symbol>ABCDEFG</symbol>
<when>
<date>01/27/2010</date>
<time>3:40PM</time>
</when>
<change>-2.1875</change>
<volume>8050200</volume>
</stock_quote>
</RequestMessage>
</part>
</Receive_XMLNode_InputVariable>
===================
But when I tried to assign symbol element to output, I am getting "com.oracle.bpel.client.BPELFault: faultName: {{http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/}selectionFailure} " error. Can anyone advise me what am I doing wrong? Thanks.
Soe

I added the namespace in my stockquote xml payload exactly as I used in the input xsd, and it started working.

EVDRE error "encountered problem when retrieving data from webserver"

Hi,
in a EVDRE we always get the error "encountered problem when retrieving data from webserver"
When analysing this further we noticed this is always generated when a base member is selected in the CV and the expansion on the row for this dimension is has one of the following expansion settings:
DEP
ALL
NOEXPAND
if we select SELF, the error disappears again and the EVDRE works fine again ... is this normal behavior?
there is no problem with application nor dimension.
D
solved it

Note that the keyword "ALL" does not include the member itself. This may cause some confusion, but as Harish implies, when you select a base member it finds no matches if your memberset is "ALL".
If you want to design a report to handle the user moving back and forth between base and non-base members in their CV, you either need to include SELF,ALL or SELF,DEP, or something similar....
OR you need to get a little fancier, and use EVPRO to look and see if the CV member is base -- evpro(app,member,"CALC") -- and then use some conditional logic in Excel to choose the correct expansion options. If Calc=N, use Self, otherwise use SELF,DEP or whatever you choose. This can be a bit tricky if you then want the user to be able to drill down in the report (especially if you want the workbook option to insert add'l rows on the expansion, rather than replace), but it's all possible.

Failed to retrieve data from the database error message

Hello,
I have a fairly simple report that correctly retrieves the data from the database providing that there are no selection formula.
However, as soon as I add the record selection formula:
{fireService.serviceDate} >= DateTime (2009, 10, 3, 0 ,0 ,0)
I get the following errors:
Failed to retrieve data from the database
Cannot determine the queries necessary to get data for this report. Details: An invalid range operator has been encountered.
However, when I use the Database / Show SQL Query option and copy the query directly into the sql query analyser it works perfectly.
Any ideas?

I am using a table to select the records from.
In fact it is a series of joined tables.
The SQL Query generated is:
SELECT "fire"."unitNumber", "configLocation"."location", "configFireEquipmentType"."type", "configFireEquipmentSize"."size", "configFireEquipmentRating"."rating", "fire"."yearManufactured", "fire"."LPT", "configFireServiceLevel"."Level", "configTest"."test", "fireService"."serviceRepairs", "customer"."name", "customer"."customerGUID", "customer"."address1", "customer"."address2", "fireService"."serviceDate", "fireService"."comment"
FROM (((((((("SAFE2"."dbo"."fire" "fire" INNER JOIN "SAFE2"."dbo"."customer" "customer" ON "fire"."customerGUID"="customer"."customerGUID") INNER JOIN "SAFE2"."dbo"."fireService" "fireService" ON "fire"."fireGUID"="fireService"."fireGUID") LEFT OUTER JOIN "SAFE2"."dbo"."configLocation" "configLocation" ON "fire"."locationGUID"="configLocation"."locationGUID") INNER JOIN "SAFE2"."dbo"."fireEquipment" "fireEquipment" ON "fire"."fireEquipmentGUID"="fireEquipment"."fireEquipmentGUID") LEFT OUTER JOIN "SAFE2"."dbo"."configFireEquipmentRating" "configFireEquipmentRating" ON "fireEquipment"."ratingGUID"="configFireEquipmentRating"."fireEquipmentRatingGUID") LEFT OUTER JOIN "SAFE2"."dbo"."configFireEquipmentSize" "configFireEquipmentSize" ON "fireEquipment"."sizeGUID"="configFireEquipmentSize"."fireEquipmentSizeGUID") LEFT OUTER JOIN "SAFE2"."dbo"."configFireEquipmentType" "configFireEquipmentType" ON "fireEquipment"."typeGUID"="configFireEquipmentType"."fireEquipmentTypeGUID") LEFT OUTER JOIN "SAFE2"."dbo"."configFireServiceLevel" "configFireServiceLevel" ON "fireService"."serviceLevelID"="configFireServiceLevel"."levelID") LEFT OUTER JOIN "SAFE2"."dbo"."configTest" "configTest" ON "fireService"."testID"="configTest"."testID"
WHERE "fireService"."serviceDate">={ts '2009-10-03 00:00:00'}
ORDER BY "customer"."name", "customer"."customerGUID"
It looks complext but is not. Most of these joins reference lookup tables.

Failed to retrieve data from the database Error

I had some reports setup in Crystal XI based on a Sql server but recently we had an upgrade, the database has been moved to IBM Informix.
There is a certain table that seems to be causing the problem.
The error:
"Failed to retrieve data from the database
Details: 42000:[informix][informix ODBC Driver][informix]A syntax error has occured .[Database Vendor Code:-201]".
I run the same query in MS Access and it seems to run fine.
I even tried to do a simple dump of the table onto Crystal but no luck.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Achett13

Hi,
It seems your ODBC Driver is not compatible, try to download a driver which supports Informix through CR XI. I think you may have to download Data Direct Drivers 5.1 version to access Informix data tables through CR XI.
You can google it for Data Direct Drivers 5.1
Thanks,

Report error "Failed to retrieve data from the database."

Post Author: tknorst
CA Forum: .NET
I have an application using CR XI R2, and on certain users computers when they try to run a report they get the following error:
Failed to retrieve data from the database.Details: [Database Vendor Code: 229]Failed to retrieve data from the database.Error in File C:\DOCUME1\turkj\LOCALS1\Temp\WhseEmpJobAndActivityByUserAndDate {22DA2F53-4391-4307-9F2A-0E3C3EBE2198A}.rpt
The report uses SQLOLEDB (ADO) and integrated authentication - it runs fine on the development machine.
I found very little info on this error on the web (google) - so I hope someone here has an idea.

You need to make sure that those systems can get conneted to the database that is supposed to return data. To check that create a udl in clients machine.
Also do not change the schema of he report.

Crystal Reports - Failed to retrieve data from the database

Hi There,
I'm hoping that somebody can help me.
I've developed a crystal report from a stored procedure which I wrote. I can execute the stored procedure within SQL Server and within the Crystal Reports designer without any errors. Furthermore, I have imported the report into sap and can run it within SAP from the server without any errors. SAP version 8.81 PL5
The issue is that when it's run from a client machine, I get the following error: "Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: Database Vendor Code: 156. Error in the File RCR10010 {tempfile location}
Here's a list of things which I have tried, all to no avail:
- Checked user permissions to ensure that they have proper authorizations
- Re-set the datasource connection and re-imported the report to SAP.
- Exported the report and reviewed the datasource connection and re-imported to SAP.
- Tried to run the report on multiple machines to ensure that it's not machine specific
- Tried to run the report using different users to ensure it's not user specific.
- Tested other reports built from stored procedures on client machines to ensure that they work.
Any assistance in this would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you

After further testing, we found that the report could be run within SAP on any work station which had the CR designer installed on it.
As it turns out, the procedure which I wrote has temp tables in it. The runtimes built into the SAP client install do not support creating temp tables when executing the report from within SAP. Which is why the report could not retreive data.
To work around this, I installed external runtimes which were the same version of the Crystal Report and now the report can be run within SAP from any workstation which has the external runtimes (and not just the runtimes within the SAP client).
I hope this makes sense.

Failed to retrieve data from the database crystal reports 2008 in SAP B1

Hello friends,
I am using Crystal report 2008 with SAP B1 PL 8.8. When I run any report, it runs correctly from Crystal Report. But whenever I try to open the same report through SAP ( Tools -> Preview External Crystal Report ), it prompts the parameters for that report and then open up the crystal report window and throws an Error message ("failed to retrieve data from the database. Details [Database Vendor Code: 156]").
Please any one suggest me the corrective solution.
Thanks in Advance,
Keyur Raval.

I had the same problem in SAP B1 2007. Report worked fine except when it was open from B1. Generally there may be different problems. In my case the same problem was caused by using some procedure which was in a specific schema. Changing the schema into "dbo" solved the problem.

Failed to retrieve data from the database/invalid argument provided when employing link between two web services datasources

Post Author: vpost
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I am trying to join information from two related web services within CR XI. I have successfully set up the web services as data sources have been able to get to the point where I get good data back. However, when I try to pull in certain fields, I get an error that says "Failed to retrieve data from the database/invalid argument provided". Here's the scenario:
The web services are structured as follows:Web Service 1 (Artist) has attributes of Artist Name and Date of Birth.Web Service 2 (CD) has attributes of CD Title and Release Date. Underneath each CD are songs, each of which have a Song Title and Artist Name.
I have defined both web services and defined a link between Artist.Artist Name and CD/Song.Artist Name. I am able to run a report with Song Title and Date of Birth that crosses web services. I am able to run another report with Song Title and CD Title that crosses the different levels in the second web service. However, if I add CD Title to the first report or Date of Birth to the second (both of which effectively force CR to employ the link between the two web services AND the CD/Song hierarchical structure in the second web service, I get the aforementioned error.
Any assistance understanding how multiple web services can be linked in this manner would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure about your exact situation, but having similar problem with another application and have tracked down to security. Added user to group Domain Admin and it works fine. It appears to be accessing a subdirectory which it does not have permission to use and then times out and returns the "invalid....". Seems that once the query just over a certain size (and I'm not sure what triggers this) it needs to make use of temparory file disk, intead of ram.
I'm still trying to track down which temporary it's trying to uses - so if you have any ques.

Hi,
Are all your data in the View or each time you run a query it update the View? Please try to update your View then run the Report again, much better if you delete the original View and replace with a new one,

Failed to retrieve data from the database.DB Vendor Code 156

Hi,
We recently migrated our scheduled Crystal Reports from BO XI R2 platform to BO XI 3.1, and are having issues with select reports that pull from the same SQL database. The tables and fields exist in the database - and I ran the SQL in a different tool and the syntax is correct. When I try to run an on-demand or schedule one of these reports in 3.1 Infoview I receive the following error:
Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 156 ]
Running:
CR 2008 SP2
BO XI 3.1 SP2 (FP 2.7)
Please advise! Thanks!

Hi LuAnn,
Not really clear what he said but I believe this is correct. The BOE servers are typically running under the local System Account. So when it passed the report job from the BOE Server it is the Local System account that the database is getting. We only do single hop for security. Which means if you are logged into InfoView under your local domain account and try to run a report BOE will not, unless specified in the custom database connection options in the CMC, pass your credentials to the DB but will pass the local system account credentials which is likely why these reports are failing.
As A TEST only Ask your Administrator to set up a user account in MS SQL Server that has rights to run all reports. Or when you create the report check on the option to use Trusted Authentication. Then when the reports are published to BOE your log on credentials should get passed to the DB server through BOE.
You'll have to more testing to find a Use account that you can run BOE Servers under and still maintain DB security and report level security that works for you. I also suggest you post your security questions to the BOE Administrator forum to get help configuring all of this and what others are doing.
Thank you
Don
