BusinessObjects Explorer The creation of the data source object tree failed

Hi,
I'm trying to create a new information space in BusinessObjects Explorer 4.0. When I select the Universe I want to use and click "New" Information Space I get the following error.
Failed to retrieve the data source details.
The creation of the data source object tree failed.
I'm just using a local installation, BI Platform 4.0, Client Tools, and Explorer are all installed on my Windows 7 machine. It's intended to be a demo environment.
Any guidance would be appreciated!
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
first of all BI4 Enterprise is not supported on Windows 7 and it may not work properly for various reasons.
But you can give this a try:
Update the command line parametres of each of the Explorer Services to use a different value for the connection server libraries
The changes are made to the command line of each of the Explorer services
- Master
- Exploration
- Indexing
- Search
Remove the following from the command line parameters of the existing Explorer services
-connectivity_dir "C:/Program Files (x86)/SAP BusinessObjects/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0//dataAccess/connectionServer"
Example of the original Explorer Master server command line parameters:
-Djava.awt.headless=true -Dosgi.configuration.area=configuration.BI40.ExplorerMasterServer1 -server -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dosgi.clean=true -Xmx1g -jar plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.101.R34x_v20081125.jar -loggingPath "C:/Program Files (x86)/SAP BusinessObjects/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0/logging/" -connectivity_dir "C:/Program Files (x86)/SAP BusinessObjects/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0//dataAccess/connectionServer" -serverkind explorerMaster
And update the server command line parameters with the following:
"-Dbusinessobjects.connectivity.directory=C:/Program Files (x86)/SAP BusinessObjects/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0//dataAccess/connectionServer"
Example of an updated Explorer Master server command line parameters:
-Djava.awt.headless=true -Dosgi.configuration.area=configuration.BI40.ExplorerMasterServer -server -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dosgi.clean=true -Xmx1g -jar plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.101.R34x_v20081125.jar -loggingPath "C:/Program Files (x86)/SAP BusinessObjects/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0/logging/" -Dbusinessobjects.connectivity.directory="C:/Program Files (x86)/SAP BusinessObjects/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0//dataAccess/connectionServer" -serverkind explorerMaster

Data sources in Embedded OC4J Server Preferences

I tried to modify JNDI name in data sources of Current Workspace, however, the
value couldn't be saved and it was restored to the default one ("xxxCoreDS").
Is it a bug?
The JDev is studio edition version 10.1.3.0.4
Thanks

For each connection that is created with wizard for "Database connections" a data source is created. Names should not /cannot be changed. I recommend you to create a new DataSource. Changing user-defined datasources should work without problem. Hope this help.

Sharepoint 2013 Excel External Data Source Refresh Issue

I have been facing this issue for quite some time now.. i have created an Excel sheet in Excel-13 and have imported data from an external data source [SQL server 2012].
Everything is working fine, with the excel sheet on the desktop. Data refreshes, every-time i open the excel file and also at regular intervals that i have configured in the data source properties.
The problem begins when i save that excel sheet on my sharepoint server. the issues that i am facing are :
1. Changes made into the original data source, are not reflected immediately inside the excel sheet inside the browser. after 5-10 minutes, it reflects the changes..
2. The data doesn't refreshes automatically. After i update my data inside the sql server table, i have to manually trigger the refresh of the data connection when viewing the excel sheet inside the browser, even though i have marked "Refresh when opening
the file", and refresh every 1 minute inside the excel sheet. Any solutions ??
I have been troubled a lot by this issue, and seek for some quick solution.. Any help here ??

I found the solution finally, my self ..
Issue - 1 : It's going to take atleat 5-minutes to refresh the data connection, that is generally not a big time span.
Issue - 2 :
--> Set Your connection to refresh everytime the file is opened. go to internet explorer -> file -> internet options -> general -> Browsing History -> Settings -> Check for newer versions of stored pages... Check 'Every time I visit the
webpage'.
Now everytime i update your original data source, wait for 5-10 minutes and refresh my web page containing the excel sheet.. The Contents of the excel sheet are updated as desired..

Create a ReportingServices data source and upload to a data connection library

I have installed reporting services 2012 in SharePoint 2013 integrated mode. I need to create a report data source and upload it to a data connection library using
C#.
As I know it uses the ReportingServices2010 class but I cannot explore a reporting server url.
There is a ReportingServices2010.asmx file in the 15 hive though.
Also it works fine when I manually set the data source.

Hi,
i had the same problem. First we figured out, that the Report Builder was working in the Root Site Collection of a Web Application but not in any other Site Collection of the WebApplication.
After that we took a look how the Report Builder is started. The Content Type got a Click Once Application as Template, but you can't open the URL in the Browser neither the referenced file can be found in the Feature folder on the SharePoint Server. Turns
out SharePoint does some crazy http redirection and that this doesn't work on Site Collections which are not at the root. At least if you installed Reporting Services Add In Service Pack 1.
Fun Fact: If you start the Report Builder on the Root Site Collection you can create a Report which works on any Site Collection. Its just the launch if the Report Builder which is broken.
Our Solution was the SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 Cumulative Update 8 which fixed the Problem.
You can request a download here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2917531
Select the "2012_SP1_RSShrPnt_CU8_2917531_11_0_3401_x64" Fix and install it on every SharePoint Server in your Farm.

Hi Ali,
According to the current description, the issue may occur because SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services add-in feature for SharePoint 2013 isn’t installed correctly.
To resolve the issue, you need to reinstall add-in feature for SharePoint 2013.

Financial Reporting - Planning 11.1.2.1 Data Source

We are trying to do salary planning, specifically new hire planning at an employee level. Is it possible to have an account of data type text that users could input into a form, and then build reports in Financial Reporting Studio that would display that text? I know there is an ADM driver that allows Financial Reporting Studio Data Sources to use Planning as a data source, but I wanted to survey for input on if and how well that works.

That's exactly what I did last year. Business wanted to see the Job description (they entered it on the form) of the new hires in a report.
In Workspace, create a Planning datasource and when you create your report, map your report to the Planning datasource.
You just need to login to Workspace > Explore > Tools > Database Connection Manager > New > Select Planning as the Type.
Cheers,
Mehmet

Unable to change data source of any report

Hello there,
I am using the Crystal Reports Eclipse plugin. I added a datasource to Eclipse 3.3 which connects to a Oracle database using JDBC.
Now I want to change the data source of a report. I get a popup window which displays the old data source with all tables and columns on the left side. On the right side of the window I see the name of the new data source at the top, but a list of "remove" options below it with a red cross in front (see screenshot).
It does not matter if I want to change an existing report or a new report.
I can create a new report with a datasource, but even when I want to change to the same datasource as already assigned to the report, I get the problem described above.
I already followed some tips found in this forum, e.g. expanding all used tables in the data source explorer etc., but this did not help.
I know that there was also a possibility to remove the "data source" information completely from the query (as mentioned at http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/KanisaSupportSite/search.do;jsessionid=2F140BDBA03E8E97EEF1E15F84964F12?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=c2017570&sliceId=&dialogID=13402443&stateId=1%200%2013406567), but I cannot find this option in Crystal reports for Eclipse. I see a field "qualified name" in the properties of each table of my report, but this field is read-only...

Doesn't anyone have an answer to this problem? I would just like to change the datasource of a report. But I am not able to do so, because the only option I have in the dialog is to remove all tables.
I just saw that the screenshot is missing. See it here:

Data Source error in Information Discovery

I created a new data source and when I try and look at a data explorer I am seeing the following error:
com.endeca.portal.data.DataSourceException: An error occurred while executing query: Could not send Message.
I am able to view the data through a Results table, but any other components seem to return an error. The data source is defined and looking at the correct port.

not answered but closing the thread.

64bit CR-Enterprise wont talk with 32bit data source, 32bit IDT wont use 64bit connection for universe. How do I connect them.

Hi.
I installed the full suite of tools as I am involved with a company intended to become a partner and reseller so we are trying to get everything working.
SAP Crystal Server 2013 SP1
BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform
SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise
SAP HANA
SAP Crystal Reports 2013 SP1
SAP BusinessObjects Explorer
SAP Crystal Dashboard Design 2013 SP1
Crystal Server 2013 SP1 Client Tools
SAP BusinessObjects Live Office 4.1 SP1
.NET SDK
I found out that BI was needed only after I installed all the others but I installed it without problem.
My issue is that the Information Design Tool (IDT) which creates my universes successfully, and even lets me open and see the dada no problem. Is using a 32bit (ODBC connected to SQL Server 2008) data source.
However, I am unable to load the .UNX in crystal reports (CR) 2011, so I used CR Enterprise (CRE) to connect to my universe. Now when I try to open the universe I start getting the following error:
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application
When I do searches online I get very generic information relating to setting up data sources. While I believe the problem is indeed with the data source, I don't believe it is setup wrong.
When I access the universe using the IDT (which uses the 32bit version of the data source to build its connection, it wont let me use a 64bit) I can load a table under the "result objects for query #1" press refresh, I get a list of data.
When I access the same universe using CRE (which "Seems" to use a 64bit data source, but I am not sure), and follow the same process as above. I get the above error.
If I cancel the process, when CRE lists the fields for the report I can later manually map these fields to an ODBC connection. But if I have to do this what is the point of using the universes at all as the end user has full access to all the various DB's available in the data source.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

On the server where Crystal Reports Server is installed, create a 64-bit ODBC connection with the same name as the 32-bit connection. CRS will then automatically use the 64-bit version of the connection.

How create animated power view reports using sharepoint list as a data source in sharepoint 2010?

Hi All,
I got a client requirement to create reports using SharePoint List as data source. The report should show reflection depends on values changed (I mean animation).
I have heard about the power view/power pivot which does this kind of animations in reports.
Can someone please guide me on creating reports which shows animations
In power view/power pivot using SharePoint List as data source in SharePoint 2010.
Thanks in advance.
MercuryMan

Hi MercuryMan,
Yes, Power View, a feature of SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 or SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Edition, is an interactive data exploration, visualization, and presentation experience.
It provides multiple views featuring tiles, slicers, a chart filter, and a number of visualizations, including cards, small multiples, and a bubble chart. So, we can use Power View to do intuitive ad-hoc reporting for business users such as data analysts, business
decision makers, and information workers.
Currently, Power View report only supports two types of data models: PowerPivot Worksheet, and data models based on Analysis Services Tabular Model or Multidimensional Cube.
In your scenario, you can create PowerPivot worksheets using SharePoint List as data source, deploy the PowerPivot worksheet to a SharePoint Library or PowerPivot Gallery, and then generate Power View reports based on the PowerPivot worksheets on the SharePoint
site.
To use SharePoint List as data source in Excel PowerPivot, you can refer to the following resource:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/excel_services__powerpivot_for_sharepoint_support_blog/archive/2013/07/11/excel-services-using-a-sharepoint-list-as-a-data-source.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh230322.aspx
To create a Power View report based on PowerPivot model, you can refer to the following links:
