Failed to retrieve the cube for connection (xyz).(Error:INF)

Hello ,
Any body faced this error (Failed to retrieve the cube for connection (xyz).(Error:INF)????
Replication steps: Open the webi report in Launchpad-> refresh the report--> error appears.
Component info:
BOBJ Version: SAP BI 4.1 sp2 version 14.1.2.1121)
Report: Webi report
Source:BEX/CUBE
Connection: OLAP
BW : SAP BW 7.3
At first i have checked the user availability ( lock or unlock) olap connection --- locked --- hence unlocked the user from BW
but still the issue is remains...
What my thought is: Cube or Bex or un available..?/inactive?secured bex query?
kindly suggest on this.
Note : Don't have access to BW,BEX..

Hi Subbarao,
1. If Bex Query is greyed out, then it is not been enabled for external access.
2. If Bex Query failed to retrieve cube for the connection, then the Cube might be removed or relocated (or) Connection fail
Try this workaround, this connection will not be affected if you relocate the cube in BW side and also you can use any cube / data mart to access data from BW.
Create a new secured OLAP Connection with SAP BICS Client under the SAP Netweaver BI 7.X option by providing credentials. Select "Do not specify a cube in the connection" and click finish then publish it to the BO Repository.
Open the WEBI Report, select the Bex Query as Data source which you want to access, now you can able to retrieve the data from the desired BW Cube via BEX Query.
Check the User Rights and Role imported into BOE Repository.

"Could not retrieve the settings for endpoint monitoring."

So my VMs are hosed because suddenly Azure cannot retrieve the settings for endpoint monitoring. If I try to start the VMs, it fails for this reason. If I try to configure the VMs, it fails for this reason. When I look at ENDPOINT MONITORING
under CONFIGURE it constantly says "Loading..." This all began when today I tried to switch a VM from STANDARD to BASIC configuration. Now I can't start any VM.

Once I powered off the VM there was no starting it again, even after switching back to STANDARD config. Same "Could not retrieve the settings for endpoint monitoring" error every time. I gave up, duplicated the disk, and created a
new VM from scratch, which has no issue with endpoint monitoring. Ridiculous that I had to do that. Azure continues to be as brittle and unreliable as a drunk monkey.

Failed to retrive the BW cube for connection

Hi all,
Can anyone help on this?.. I'm getting this error when i refresh/edit webi report. Failed to retrive the BW cube for connection SAP BW BICS. (Error: INF)
Thanks in advance
Vijay Muniraj

This may be due to
1. not transported the cube to the prod
2. not given a access to that user to use that cube(query also ) in BI
3. try to import roles of user and group again in BO
4. make sure that you had given a proper access to that user (connection)

I cannot retrieve the password for the wifi connection on my imac and so cannot access the internet with my ipad at home. I have a cable modem. Help please!

I cannot retrieve the password for the wifi connection on my imac and so cannot access the internet with my ipad at home. I have a cable modem. Help please!

If you mean that you cannot remember the password for your WiFi network this will work for you - or it should work if you are the administrator on the Mac.
You will need to be logged in as the administrator on your Mac and you must know the password - Open Keychain Access on your Mac in the utilities folder, click on Passwords. Find the Airport Network Password listed on the right. Double click on it. Click on show password in the the window that pops up. Enter your administrator password when prompted and click allow.
If Keychain is locked - you must enter the administrator password there as well to unlock it and access the password.
If you have set the Mac up for Internet Sharing for the iPad to share the Mac's connection, just create a new network On the Mac with Internet sharing and a new password.

Failed to retrieve the system DEP policy

I've been getting this error on my Windows 8.1 Pro when I run EMET GUI. I think it's related to when I changed the apps configuration.
I tried uninstalling/reinstalling and I get "Could not create EMET default configuration. Please run this program as an Administrator" even though I am running it as Administrator.
Then I get this error when I run EMET GUI (tried both EMET 5.1 and 4.1 update 1 and have the same error)

Explorer error "Failed to retrieve the Information Spaces list." from HANA

I am getting this dumb error "Failed to retrieve the Information Spaces list. // Request timed out" in Explorer's "Manage Spaces" area every time I click on the analytic view listed under my HANA sources of the Explorer. So, my HANA source is visible, and analytic views are visible in Explorer as well, but I cannot get any Information Space created because of the error, and I could not find the error and its causes in Explorer docs.
I already
- upgraded HANA db to Rev 18 (for some reasons I cannot u[grade this system to SPS3 yet) and BIP and Explorer 4.0 are on the latest Patch 8 of SP2.
- configured connection using IDT defined connection,
- restarted servers in CMS already 100s of times.
There is enough free space on the BO server's drive: 33GB. BO is a single server based on Win2008 R2 SP1 with 40GB RAM.
Any ideas what else I can do to get rid of this issue? It is a test server, so I cannot open customer msg to SAP Support.
Thanks,
-Vitaliy

Try increasing the timeout under

"Fail to retrieve the logon ticket"

Hi all,
I am trying to connect my Dashboard to BPC and I did the following steps:
1) SAP --> Open --> after selecting the appropriate system --> type login credentials
2) I get the following error"Fail to retrieve the logon ticket, please contact the administrator." (Refer to attachment)
3) I find the notes 1758340 and can only complete step 1-4.
We cannot find any "trace" for step 5 and this is where I am stuck at.
Can anyone suggest how we can move forward?
or is there any workaround to connect my Dashboard to BPC?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Data Manager - SAP NW Conn. - Error: "Fail to retrieve the logon ticket"

Hi,
I am using Xcelsius 2008 SP2 and I am testing the new way to connect to SAP BW. When Browsing for a BW Query, I get the error "Fail to retrieve the logon ticket". When using QaaWS, everything works fine. Does anybody know this error?
Greetings,
Simon.

Hi Deepu,
thanks for the feedback.
Yes we have Xcelsius SP2, I checked version and it is 5.2.0.0
How can I check whether it is applied to both ABAP and JAVA steaks?
Today our basis team confirmed that they have implemented EHP1 SPS5. In BI system, if I go to "System" --> "Status" --> "SAP_BW" component has SP "SAPKW70105".
Also I installed diagnosis tool in portal as you advised and all lights are green.
Any other proposal?

Get error from SQL AGENT: The SSIS Runtime has failed to enlist the OLE DB connection in a distributed transaction with error 0x8004D024

I am running SQL Agent that executes an SSIS process from sql server1. The SSIS process executes its SQL/tables/sp’s against another sql server2.
I get an error after adding data flow tasks with transaction supported within a sequence with transaction required. The error, “The SSIS Runtime has failed to enlist the OLE DB connection in a distributed transaction with error 0x8004D024 "The transaction
manager has disabled its support for remote/network transactions"
Prior to adding this sequence everything was working from sql agent, and there were other sequences with oledb destinations.
Everything works when running within SSIS Package.
I see this article on similar issue,
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/0bfa2569-8849-4884-8f68-8edf98a9b4fe/problem-to-execute-a-package-and-tasks-with-a-certain-transactionoption-property-i-need-help?forum=sqlintegrationservices
“I had similar issue and solved by setting the following on both the machines. Allow Remote Clients, Allow Remote Administration,
Allow Inbound Clients, Allow Outbound Clients, and TIP are enabled in Component Services/My Computer/Properties/MSDTC/Security Configuration.”
I don’t want to remove transaction required for the “Remove Duplicates from Staging” sequence.
Anyone seen this?
Greg Hanson

DTC was running on remote computer. The problem was it was no longer accepting transactions from remote servers. This was in SSIS so I had to turn to "Transaction Supported" for all Data Flow Transactions.

How the data is fetched from the cube for reporting - with and without BIA

hi all,
I need to understand the below scenario:(as to how the data is fetched from the cube for reporting)
I have a query, on a multiprovider connected to cubes say A and B. A is on BIA index, B is not. There are no aggregates created on both the cubes.
CASE 1: I have taken RSRT stats with BIA on, in aggregation layer it says
Basic InfoProvider     *****Table type      ***** Viewed at      ***** Records, Selected     *****Records, Transported
Cube A     ***** blank ***** 0.624305      ***** 8,087,502      ***** 2,011
Cube B     ***** E ***** 42.002653 ***** 1,669,126      ***** 6
Cube B     ***** F ***** 98.696442 ***** 2,426,006 ***** 6
CASE 2:I have taken the RSRT stats, disabling the BIA index, in aggregation layer it says:
Basic InfoProvider     *****Table Type     *****Viewed at     *****Records, Selected     *****Records, Transported
Cube B     *****E     *****46.620825     ****1,669,126****     6
Cube B     *****F     ****106.148337****     2,426,030*****     6
Cube A     *****E     *****61.939073     *****3,794,113     *****3,499
Cube A     *****F     ****90.721171****     4,293,420     *****5,584
now my question is why is here a huge difference in the number of records transported for cube A when compared to case 1. The input criteria for both the cases are the same and the result output is matching. There is no change in the number of records selected for cube A in both cases.It is 8,087,502 in both cases.
Can someone pls clarify on this difference in records being selected.

Hi,
yes, Vitaliy could be guess right. Please check if FEMS compression is enabled (note 1308274).
What you can do to get more details about the selection is to activate the execurtion plan SQL/BWA queries in data manager. You can also activate the trace functions for BWA in RSRT. So you need to know how both queries select its data.

Jens

Hi Jay,
Thanks for sharing your analysis.
The only reason I could think logically is BWA is having information in both E and F tables in one place and hence after selecting the records, it is able to aggregate and transport the reords to OLAP.
In the second case, since E and F tables are separate, aggregation might be happening at OLAP and hence you see more number of records.
Our Experts in BWA forum might be able to answer in a better way, if you post this question over there.
Thanks,
Krishnan

I cant seem to change the size of the this column in the EXCEL SOURCE .It just changes it back to
Unicode string [DT_WSTR] and 255 characters . This field contains strings greater than 255 characters .

I found a great solution to limitation of excel when reading cells with a lot of text and when firts rows has no data!

DP's have Warning "Failed to retrieve the package list on the distribution point" - How to Clear it?

All but one of my DP's (A new one I just created) have this Warning Message: "Failed to retrieve the package list on the distribution point". They all seem to be working, I can update and push new content to them.
When I go to the smsdpmon.log, it has an error for a package, but I've since redistributed it, and it is working fine. (Items below are snips from the smsdpmon.log)
CContentDefinition::LibraryPackagesWmi: The package data in WMI is not consistent to PkgLib SMS_Distribution_Point_Monitoring 11/16/2013 6:00:01 PM 3920 (0x0F50)
CContentDefinition::LibraryPackagesWmi: Package PS10011B can't be found in PkgLib SMS_Distribution_Point_Monitoring 11/16/2013 6:00:01 PM 3920 (0x0F50)
CContentDefinition::LibraryPackagesWmi failed; 0x80004005 SMS_Distribution_Point_Monitoring 11/16/2013 6:00:01 PM 3920 (0x0F50)
Failed to evaluate package PS10011B, Error code 0x80070002 SMS_Distribution_Point_Monitoring 11/16/2013 6:29:50 PM 3920 (0x0F50)
Since then, after redistributing the package, it clears up the logs... but not the warning in Monitoring:
Start to evaluate package share for package 'PS10011B' version 0 ... SMS_Distribution_Point_Monitoring 11/18/2013 12:39:52 PM 868 (0x0364)
Package PS10011B is verified successfully SMS_Distribution_Point_Monitoring 11/18/2013 12:39:52 PM 868 (0x0364)
So since everything appears to be working fine, how do I clear out that Warning, so I have nice Green Check Mark Icons in my Monitoring Tab, so when something actually does go wrong, I won't just ignore it since it's always been set to Warning?

I'll have to review this. The script
here, alone did not solve the my issue. Interesting that it say I do not have any inconsistencies on any my DP's now, but I run the other one on a single DP, it states I have inconsistencies still.

I wonder if the first script is not looking for INI's whereas the second one is. I verified that the INI's do exist...
I'll run the second on all of my DP's, remove the left over INI's, and report back again next week on status.

All DPs read "Failed to retrieve the package list on the distribution point"...

About 2 weeks ago all 10 of my DPs started reporting the following warning (roughly 2 weeks after upgrading to R2):
"Failed to retrieve the package list on the distribution point ["Display=\\<server.FQDN>\"]MSWNET:["SMS_SITE=<code>"]\\<server.FQDN>\. Or the package list in content library doesn't match the one in WMI. Review
smsdpmon.log for more information about this failure.
This warning has appeared in my environment once before and I've read a number of posts regarding it. In the previous situation I found the problematic package ID recorded in smsdpmon.log and followed the standard procedure of redistributing and then proceeded
with a validation check on the affected DP. These steps resolved the issue originally.
This time around the package ID is not referenced in smsdpmon.log. It had the same error but the ID was not listed. Unfortunately the logs have already rolled over and I forgot to save a copy so I don't have anything to reference. I'm curious if anyone else
has seen this behavior and what the recommended fix is.
As always, appreciate the help!

I used the following process to clean up these warnings on my DPs:
Setup content validation checks for each of my affected DPs to run every morning (previously only set to weekends). I did this so when I made a change I could validate whether or not it worked the following day. It would be great if there was a way to force
these checks manually but I haven't found a method yet.
After the content validation check completed I filtered through the smsdpmon.log on each affected DP. This revealed the package ID that was causing the issue.
In my environment the package in question was not needed so I deleted it. If it is required I suspect re-distributing it would work as well.
At this stage the problem was still not fully resolved for me. Even though I had deleted the package WMI was still inaccurate. I used this script to scrub WMI on all affected DPs and it picked up the problematic package ID:

My content validation checks are now passing and the warnings are being cleared. YEAH!
As a final note - After running the PS script Nickolaj posted I ran started seeing dozens of error checks on my packages (Distribution Manager failed to process package "Laptop Drivers" (package ID = XYZ00123).) After doing some research
I found I was prone to this issue:
Failed to start DP health monitoring task. In my case the suspect file was called "Microsoft". I moved it to another location and the errors cleared immediately.
Hope this info is helpful to others!
