EVDRE encountered an error when retrieving data from web server

Hi
When I am trying to open Data Input=>Build a schedule using a dynamic template in BPC version for SAP netweaver, I am getting the below error "EVDRE encountered an error retrieving data from the Web Server". 
I am not able to open any template, every time I am getting the same message. I have tried again after reprocessing all the dimension.
Even I have tried in appset APSHELL also, there also I am getting the same error
Request you to help me to resolve the above error which will allow me to proceed further.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Beside Nilanjan's solution, this error could also occur when the expansion is running more rows than the Excel limit allows (65'000 rows and 256 cols for Excel 2003)...
Even when you're using suppress field to reduce the number of rows, the first sequence is to retrieve the complete dataset before performing any suppression. And this could of course exceed the limit sometimes.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Patrick

  • Error when retrieving data from remote url

    Hello,
    I'm trying to do something that should be very simple --
    letting a user enter something in a textbox, then using that data
    as a script parameter when calling a remote cgi script, and
    returning the results to the screen.
    The remote cgi is sending data in plain text. I have looked
    at several examples, and I've tried using an XMLHttpRequest, I've
    tried using the servicemonitor.swf methods, and I've tried with
    URLRequest and URLLoader methods. All fail in one way or another.
    Here's the code for the URLRequest/URLLoader method...
    function fetchISSN(myform) {
    air.trace("Starting Fetch");
    var mytitle = myform.title.value;
    air.trace("TITLE: " + mytitle);
    var reqURL = "
    http://grlinker.coalliance.org/grbin/ilu_rmt.cgi";
    air.trace("URL: " + reqURL);
    var variables = new air.URLVariables("title=" + mytitle +
    "&isf=plain");
    air.trace("URLPARMS: " + variables);
    // var element = document.getElementById('results');
    var request = new air.URLRequest(reqURL);
    air.trace("Request Object Created");
    request.data = variables;
    air.trace("Data Added to request");
    request.method = air.URLRequestMethod.POST;
    var loader = new air.URLLoader();
    air.trace("Loader Object Created");
    loader.addEventListener(air.Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
    loader.addEventListener(air.Event.OPEN, loadOpen);
    try {
    loader.load(request);
    } catch(e) {
    alert('Could NOT load data: ' + e);
    } // end of function fetchISSN
    function loadComplete(event) {
    // alert('Downloaded ' + loader.bytesTotal);
    alert('Complete');
    // element.innerText = loader.data;
    } // end of function loadComplete()
    function loadOpen(event) {
    alert('Downloading');
    } // end of function loadComplete()
    And the HTML that calls it...
    <table width="280" border="1" align="center">
    <tr><td align="center">
    <font size="2">Enter a title and click
    submit.</font>
    <form name="issn">
    <input type="text" name="title" /><br>
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"
    onClick="javascript:fetchISSN(this.form)" />
    </form>
    </td></tr>
    </table>
    Things go fine until it hits the loadComplete function. At
    that point, the following error is generated...
    Error: The application attempted to reference a JavaScript
    object in an HTML page that is no longer loaded.
    at __HTMLScriptFunction/throwJSObjectDead()
    at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
    at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
    at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
    Can anyone give me any advice or even a reason for this
    failure. I did find a bug about this in the bugtracker, it says it
    is resolved with an "external" resolution. I'm not sure what that
    means. Is there a patch I'm missing? Am I doing something really
    stupid?
    Just for reference, I'm on a Mac running OS X 10.5.6, using
    the SDK for development.
    Thanks!
    Scott

    Hi,
    Can you try putting the declaration of the URLLoader instance
    outside your fetchISSN function and see?
    That is:
    var loader;
    function fetchISSN(myform) {
    //your code above this line
    loader = new URLLoader();
    //rest of your code

  • Evdre encountered an error while retrieving the data

    what is the mistake i am doing while i create the reports ?
    ur help is appreciated
    thanks

    This error message has many root cause.
    First let's check if the installation of BPC client is correct.
    Just use a simple EVDRE functions and try to expand.
    Are you receiving any error? If yes then I suggest to try also for Apshell ppset.
    If it is not working then that's means you have a problem with installation.
    If you can use EVDRE from another machine then the problem is installaytion of the client.
    If the problem is into all computers then the problem is into server.
    If the problem is just into one report then you have to review that report because some parameters sent to EVDRE are wrong otit is trying to retrievea region which is toobig.
    I hope this will help you toinvestigate the issue.

  • 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.

  • EVDRE encountered error retrieving the data from web Server

    Hi,
    I know this is the common/generic error message, following is our scenario:
    We installed BPC NW 7.5 on our production box and configured F5 load balancing for two .NET servers.
    We are getting the error "EVDRE encountered error retrieving the data from web Server"when we run the report EVDRE on APSHELL (original Appset). This is the fresh installation:
    The workaround "Clear Local application information". Even this works only sometimes.
    Is there anything else we should have configured on using two .NET servers?
    Please suggest.
    Thanks

    hi Nagesh sorry for the delayed reply..
    We changed some of the parameters at F5 switch like sticky time, timeout..
    And the MDXPARSER connection to one of out application server was failling, thats why we did not had this issue consistently.
    When ever the request goes to that app server fails. It took a lot effort to notice this since we were assuming the F5 switch was only causing the issue.
    Thanks

  • 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,

    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 while retrieving data from an ARRAY resultset

    We hava an Oracle stroed procedure which has a table type as its OUT parameter and where the data is being entered into. This data requries to be returned to the Java client through a JDBC connection. We have used the OracleTypes' ARRAY object for this. We are facing errors when retieving data from the ARRAY resultset
    The Oracle Package
    ----I created a table type called "PlSqlTable":
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE PlSqlTable IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(20);
    ----I defined this as the out parameter for my procedure :
    PROCEDURE testSQL
    arrayOutID OUT PlSqlTable
    Then populated the object :
    arrayOutID := PlSqlTable();
    arrayOutID.extend(4);
    arrayOutID(1):= 'Hello';
    arrayOutID(2) := 'Test';
    arrayOutID(3) := 'Ora';
    ----The procedure executes fine - all debug statements are printed ----right till the end of execution.
    The Java class
    ----Here is how I have defined the parameters :
    OracleCallableStatement stmnt = (OracleCallableStatement)connection.prepareCall("begin testSQL(?);end;");
    stmnt.registerOutParameter(2,OracleTypes.ARRAY,"PLSQLTABLE");
    System.out.println("Executing..");
    stmnt.execute();
    System.out.println("Executed..");
    ARRAY outArray = stmnt.getARRAY(1);
    System.out.println("Got array");
    ResultSet rset = outArray.getResultSet();
    System.out.println("Got Resultset..");
    int i = 1;
    while(rset.next()){
    System.out.println("VALUE : " + rset.getString(i));
    i = i+1;
    ----On execution, the debug messages display :
    Executing..
    Executed..
    Got array
    Got Resultset..
    VALUE : 1
    VALUE : Test
    ERROR : java.sql.SQLException: Invalid column index
    ----But I have populated upto 3 values in th e procedure. Then why this error ?
    PLLLEEEASE help me out on this.
    Thanks, Sathya

    haven't worked with db arrays but I think your problem is here:int i = 1;
    while(rset.next()){
         System.out.println("VALUE : " + rset.getString(i));
         i = i+1;
    }In the first loop you are retrieving the value from column 1(rs.getString(1)), which is OK, but in the second loop, you are trying to retrieve a value from the second column(rs.getString(2)) which doesn't exist. Try this code which only reads from column1:
    while(rset.next()){
         System.out.println("VALUE : " + rset.getString(1));

  • Error while retrieving data from PL/SQL Table using SELECT st. (Urgent!!!)

    Hi Friends,
    I am using Oracle 8.1.6 Server, & facing problems while retrieving data from a PL/SQL Table:
    CREATE or REPLACE PROCEDURE test_proc IS
    TYPE tP2 is TABLE of varchar2(10); --declared a collection
    dt2 tP2 := tP2('a','b','c');
    i NUMBER(8);
    begin
    SELECT COUNT(*) INTO i FROM TABLE(CAST(dt2 as tP2));
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('**'||i);
    end;
    While executing the above procedure, I encountered foll. error:
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [15419], [severe error during PL/SQL execution], [], [],
    ORA-06544: PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: [pfrrun.c:pfrbnd1()], [], [], [], [], [], [], []
    ORA-06553: PLS-801: internal error [0]
    Can anyone please help me, where the problem is??
    Is it Possible to retrieve data from PL/SQL TABLE using SELECT statement? & How ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,
    Jay Raval.

    Thanks Roger for the Update.
    It means that have to first CREATE TYPE .. TABLE in database then only I can fire a Select statement on that TYPE.
    Actually I wanted to fire a Select statement on the TABLE TYPE, defined & declared in PLSQL stored procedure using DECLARE TYPE .. TABLE & not using CREATE TYPE .. TABLE.
    I was eager to know this, because my organization is reluctant in using CREATE TYPE .. TABLE defined in the database, so I was looking out for another alternative to access PL/SQL TABLE using Select statement without defining it database. It would have been good if I could access a PLSQL TABLE using Select statement Declared locally in the stored procedure.
    Can I summarize that to access a PL/SQL TABLE using SELECT statement, I have to first CREATE TYPE .. TABLE?
    If someone have any other idea on this, please do let me know.
    Thanks a lot for all help.
    Best Regards,
    Jay Raval.
    You have to define a database type...
    create type tP2 is table of varchar2(10)
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEST_PROC
    IS
    dt2 tP2 := tP2('a','b','c');
    i NUMBER(8);
    begin
    SELECT COUNT(*) INTO i FROM TABLE(CAST (dt2 AS tP2));
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('**'||i);
    end;
    This will work.

  • Retrieving data from OBIEE server using ODBC

    Hello.
    I am having difficulty retrieving data from OBIEE 11g using the ODBC connection. My intention is to read OBIEE Server data via a SQL statement issued from an Oracle database using gateways.
    I have read and followed the material here:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e16364/odbc_data_source.htm#CACBFCJA
    I have also tried this from Excel 2007, but have not succeeded:
    http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/import_data_from_obiee_to_excel
    I have setup a gateway in Oracle and a database link. Iknow it is connecting because when I change the password to something invalid, I get a message about not being able to connect due to username/password.
    I have taken a query from Answers (the advanced tab) and tried running it from Sql Developer. The nsqserver.log file ends up with the following Notification:
    [nQSError: 13013] Init block, 'DUAL Num (=3)', has more variables than the query select list.
    As an experiment, I am using the SampleApp, and have generated the following query in Answers:
    SELECT s_0, s_1, s_2, s_3 FROM (
    SELECT
    0 s_0,
    "A - Sample Sales"."Products"."P3 LOB" s_1,
    DESCRIPTOR_IDOF("A - Sample Sales"."Products"."P3 LOB") s_2,
    "A - Sample Sales"."Base Facts"."1- Revenue" s_3
    FROM "A - Sample Sales"
    ) djm ORDER BY 1, 2 ASC NULLS LAST
    Is there a way to issue this query from a database client like SQL Developer? I have setup a database link called obiee via gateways to the ODBC connection, and add @obiee after the table name in the above query, but get the nqs error above.
    Thanks for any help. I can provide addl info if such would be useful.

    That would explain my difficulty. I went to the link:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/relnotes.1111/e10132/biee.htm#CHDIFHEE
    that describes the deprecated client. I am confused by the statement there:
    "one of the many widely available third-party ODBC/JDBC tools to satisfy previous NQClient functionality"
    My understanding of ODBC is not very strong, so please bear with me. The statement above is talking about a client tool, but there also needs to be an ODBC driver available for BI Server. I may be a bit confused between driver and client, and what piece nq handles. I don't understand the comment about third-party ODBC when it comes to the driver piece, as that must be coded for BI Server. When I go to create a new DSN, the only driver that makes sense for me to select is:
    Oracle BI Server 11g_OH<id>
    That all works fine to setup a DSN. But I am unable to connect from Excel, etc., using this DSN.
    Put more simply, should I be able to connect to BI Server via ODBC - not using the deprecated BI ODBC client, but using other clients? Is there ODBC connectivity at all in OBIEE 11g?
    Thanks,
    Ari
