Freehand SQL support in 3-Tier mode

Hi All,
I'm aware that Free hand SQL is not supported in 3-tier mode in XIR2
Relevant SAP notes Iu2019ve found:
1)     1202464 - Does Desktop Intelligence in 3-Tier mode support free hand SQL as a data provider?
2)     1200737 - Free-hand SQL is not available in Desktop Intelligence
Could anyone confirm that free hand SQL is not supported in 3-Tier mode for BOXI R3  (3.0 and 3.1)?
Thanks in advance!
Ankur.

Hello Ankur, I have tested this issue on XI 3.1 with a pre release SP2 patch and Free Hand SQL is still NOT supported on this new version. This functionality will probably be never be supported due to more efforts being directed towads Webi tools.

  • Deski: 2-tier & 3-tier mode

    Hi,
    We are setting up Business Objects XI R2 primarily for Desktop Intelligence.  We will not be using WEBI or InfoView.  All users will run their reports via DESKI.  However, the one thing I am puzzled about is the 2-tier and 3-tier mode.  From my understanding 2-tier mode consists of DESKI and business objects server and 3-tier consists when InfoView comes into play.  Is this correct?  I tried running a report in 2-tier mode, by logging into the business objects server, it failed with a u201Cconnection or sql sentence error: (da00005) u2013 unable to create connectionu201D.  However, after setting up 3-tier key, by logging into InfoView and selecting new > desktop intelligence document, it created a 3-tier file: @xir2dev_dotnet.extranet in the locdata folder and I was able to run the same report against the universe.
    Am I missing something?  I thought you only need the 3-tier key only if you plan on using InfoView, is this correct?  If we need to create the key, we will need the users to log into InfoView for the first time.
    Any information will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Raja

    Ok this may be easier if I list the requirements of each mode
    full deski client install is required by both 3-tier and 2-tier
    Connectivity to the CMS (6400 by default) and direct connectivity to the reporting DB(middleware installed on the client machines) is required by 2-tier
    2 tier workflow
    launch busobj.exe on client
    system has CMS name in it and optional port#
    login request is sent to CMS
    to refresh reports (middleware must be set up locally on the client) such as SQL ODBC, Oracle, DB2, etc
    Connectivity through a webserver (java:8080 or .net:80), connection server(service in the CCM/CMC that deski clients connect to) and DB connectivity(middleware installed on the server) set up on the enterprise server for 3-tier
    3 tier workflow
    launch busobj.exe on the client
    system has globe icon and .net or j2ee (IIS or tomcat typically)
    globe icon exists if .intranet file exists in C:\Documents and Settings\taz\My Documents\My Business Objects Documents\LocData on the client
    file is created when preferences in infoview are set to launch desktop intelligence and a deski doc is accessed from infoview
    file contains the URL of the .net or j2ee web server
    Busobj.exe connects via web server (wsdkbridge or something like that) to the connection server running in the CCM/CMC
    connection server works like the deski report server in querying DB for reports using middleware installed on teh enterprise server
    data is returned to client busobj.exe
    In your scenario it would seem that the reporting DB middleware is installed on the server only not the client (thus the Da00005 message).

  • JDBC Connectivity for SQL Server 2005 Windows Authentication Mode

    Hi Everyone,
    In my Scenario we are using SQL Server 2005 with Mixed Mode Authentication. Now we are planning to move only with Windows Authentication Mode.
    We have configured DB with Window authentication mode & user id have been configured in PI channels however we are getting error. We checked microsoft site, which says Windows Authentication mode DB can not be connected using JDBC drivers.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313100
    In this above link see Basic Connectivity Troubleshooting Section.
    Please let me know if someone confirued JDBC Channel Successfuly with Windows Authentication Mode.
    Thanks In Advance
    Regards,
    Bharathi.

    I think this issue is related to the way that Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 2008 / 2008 R2 treat users who are logged on to the system with an account that is a member of the local administrators group when SQL is running locally.
    If your SQL setup has left you with BUILTIN\Administrators being a member of the sysadmin server role and you start up SQL Management Studio you'd expect to be mapped to the sysadmin role if your user account is in the local administrators group, however
    these OS disable this ability and when you try to connect to the database engine SQL server doesn't know you are a member of the local administrators group.
    To get round this, close all your open SQL management studio windows and then start a new window by right clicking the icon in the start menu and chosing to run as administrator. This time when you try to connect to the SQL database engine, windows doesn't
    "hide" the fact that you are an administrator. If you need to do this a lot you can go to the compatibility tab on the properties of the shortcut and set it to always run as administrator.
    Alternatively you can install the admin tools remotely and you don't get this effect.

  • Running SQLs in background in batch mode via SQL developer ( windows 7)

    Hi
    Can anybody share any tips to run a set of SQLs in background in batch mode via SQL developer in Windows 7 environment
    am trying something as below but not succeeding though
    1) Create a .txt file name 'mysqlfile.txt' in desktop which contains the below statements
    Create table A
    Create table B
    2) Create a .bat file name 'run.bat' and kept in desktop which contains the below statements ( syntax may not be correct though)
    sqldeveloper -s <DBusername>/<pwd>@//<Hostname>:<port>/<SID>@<C:\Users\<username>\Desktop/mysqlfile.txt>
    3) Double click 'run.bat'
    Regards

    SQL Developer doesn't have a command-line interface to support what you're looking for.
    You could use SQL*Plus.
    We have some requests on the Exchange in this area you could add your vote to. This is an area we are investigating for future releases.

  • Problem with application modules and switching from 2 tier to 3 tier mode

    Hello,
    I've got an application in 2 tier mode. Now I wanted to switch to 3 tier mode but get a class cast exception. It has turned out, that panelBinding.getApplication().getApplicationModule().findApplicationModule returns in 2 tier mode <ModuleName>Impl and in 3 tier mode oracle.jbo.client.remote.ApplicationModuleImpl. But searching for modul name with panelBinding.getApplication().getApplicationModule().getApplicationModuleNames() returns the right in names in 2 tier and in 3 tier mode. Does anybody know a way to access <ModulName>Impl in 3 tier mode?

    This is the reason that the BC4J project will create an <appmodulename>AM interface and a <appmodulename>AMClient Implementation that you include on the client side if you expose any methods in your app module. You should access them by casting it to the interface, NOT the appModuleImpl class. If you stick to using the interface, then you should be fine.
    So to keep your implementation flexible, you should do this on the client to access your custom methods on your app module:
    The BC4J project should generate the following classes:
    AppModule Name = MyCustomAM.xml
    AppModule Implementation = MyCustomAMImpl.java
    Custom AppModule Interface = /common/MyCustomAM.java
    Custom clientside AppModule Implementation = /client/MyCustomAMClient.java
    On the client, do the following:
    import my.bc4j.model.package.common.MyCustomAM;
    // Call custom method on App module
      MyCustomAM am = (MyCustomAM) panelBinding.getDataControl().getApplicationModule();
      am.myCustomMethod(someParams);Hope this helps.

  • 3 tier mode in BO 4.0

    Hi all !
    How I can connect to server from client pc at  Interactive Analysis in 3 tier mode?
    Like server:6400(J2EE Portal).
    In R3 i create deski document in infoview to generate this type of connection.
    thanks!

    deski is gone in 4.0 you have to do it with webi rich client, by creating a webi doc, setting preferences for webi and then opening like you did with deski.

  • Remote Access VPN Support in Multiple Context Mode (9.1(2))?

    Hi Guys,
    I am currently running two Cisco ASA5520 (ASA Version: 9.1(2)) firewalls in Active/Standby failover and was contemplating the option of migrating my remote access VPN to these firewalls. However seeing that the new IOS now support mixed multiple context mode and dynamic routing. Is it safe to ask whether or not Remote Access VPN is now support in this IOS upgrade?
    Multiple Context Mode New Features:
    Site-to-Site VPN in multiple context mode | Site-to-site VPN tunnels are now supported in multiple context mode.
    New resource type for site-to-site VPN tunnels | New resource types, vpn other and vpn burst other, were created to set the maximum number of site-to-site VPN tunnels in each context.
    Dynamic routing in Security Contexts | EIGRP and OSPFv2 dynamic routing protocols are now supported in multiple context mode. OSPFv3, RIP, and multicast routing are not supported.
    New resource type for routing table entries | A new resource class, routes, was created to set the maximum number of routing table entries in each context. We modified the following commands: limit-resource, show resource types, show resource usage, show resource allocation. We modified the following screen: Configuration > Context Management > Resource Class > Add Resource Class.
    Mixed firewall mode support in multiple context mode | You can set the firewall mode independently for each security context in multiple context mode, so some can run in transparent mode while others run in routed mode. We modified the following command: firewall transparent. You cannot set the firewall mode in ASDM; you must use the command-line interface. Also available in Version 8.5(1).
    Regards,
    Leon

    Hey Leon,
    According to the ASA 9.1 Configuration Guide, Remote Access VPN is not yet supported with version 9.1(2). Only Site-to-Site VPN support in multiple context was introduced with release ASA 9.0(x). This was mentioned in the 9.0(x) release notes.

  • Workflows Do Not Start - "Not Supported in Windows Authentication Mode"

    I have a publishing site that is using Kerbos authentication.  Everything on the site works fine.
    I created a simple workflow in SPD 2013 and published this to the site without any problems.  However when I try to start the workflow with the account of a user who is a member of the site it will not run.  In the browser an alert pop's up
    saying "Something went wrong.  To try again, reload the page and then start the workflow again".
    In the SharePoint log's I find the following:

    Any ideas on what the problem might be?

    You haven't changed it to Claims there, you have changed NTLM to Kerberos. I guess your web app was already claims based because in SP 2013 we have to use Powershell to convert classic to claims and not from GUI.
    When I click the workflow on a item to start in manually I get the error:
    "Something went wrong. To try again, reload the page and then start the workflow"
    In ULS I get the not supported exception.
    It seems 2013 platform workflows aren't supported in classic mode web applications:
    http://sharepointconnoisseur.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/sharepoint-2013-upgrade-preparation-to.html

  • Nokia 5800 - No Support for TV out-mode?

    Dear Nokia Careline,
    The "No Return Policy" already be used here. Seem that I have no choice to go for other alternatives. Maybe I have to file the case to our local authority i.e. Tribunal Court Claim to exercise my consumer right here.
    Perhaps, further blogs at Nokia discussion column, facebook, twitter might help to let others understand more about so-called Nokia Careline entertain their loyal customer.
    If you insist your stand there, then I am always ready to go for my alternatives.
    I won't let go unless you could satisfy me.

    Dear Mr. X,
    We appreciate your prompt reply.
    We will be noting for concern as a feedback. However, please be informed Mr. Tan that Nokia has noted in the box regarding the said case.
    The outage experienced by our sub-supplier was quite unexpected. Typically, the lead time for components such as this one is fairly long, and one cannot react to sudden changes at short notice. We value our relationship with our suppliers and sub-suppliers, and know that our sub-supplier is doing everything in their power to remedy the situation and return to regular supply.   
    The lack of TV out should not affect any other device functionalities besides that you will not be able to show/transmit pictures or video to external monitor/screen.
    As Nokia does not have a replacement policy, we suggest to check with your dealer if they have a policy regarding exchanges.
    Apologies for any inconvenience.

    Dear NOKIA CARELINE,
    Yap, you can tell me leaflet included & a tiny label on the pack box. But who will really check every single area of the pack box & read the whole manual or leaflet when they decided to buy the phone. What normally customer will check is the handphone and the accessories. Now you are telling me that customer have to check everything even they  buy something from a reputable company like Nokia. If I going in a shop that sell a China like Nokia 5800 handphone and I bought it then I won't have a say here at all.
    I have checked with my retailer they allow me to return the unit but I can't get full refund from them. They are going deduct a couple of hundred cause they said the unit is considered used unit now. According to them instead of asking customer to wait they prefer to refund the customer. So who is going to bear for the cost now.
    I certainly frustrated by getting a unit that without TV out function. If you are telling me that once manufactured the feature could not be added in, then I would say if you do have a unit with TV-out feature now you could exchange directly to your customer. Why still ask your loyal customer like me to refer to dealer or retailer. Is that what you mean after sales service or NOKIA CARELINE. You don't even care in the first place.
    Your apologies certainly couldn't be accepted with reason of Nokia did include leaflet to inform and tiny sticker at the bottom of the pack box. Sound irresponsible to me at all.
    What I wanna your care now, that is pls exchange a unit with TV-out feature with mine in which without such feature. Do I really put the CARELINE into difficulty position. Your reply to me is highly appreciated and also to show that you care or don't care.
    Regards,

    Dear Mr. X,
    Thank you for emailing Nokia Careline.
    Greetings!
    In response to your inquiry, please be informed Mr. Tan that due to a component shortage, a limited number of Nokia 5800 Xpress Music has been manufactured without the TV-out functionality. It is possible that you have one of these devices. In that case, the sales package should have a sticker on the package and a leaflet inside the package that inform about the lack of TV-out functionality. Also, the TV-out cable has been removed from the affected sales packages.   
    Kindly take note Mr. Tan that it is not possible to add the feature after the device has been manufactured. Therefore we have labeled the affected sales packages with a sticker and included a leflet that inform about the lack of TV-out functionality. Those individuals who wish to have the TV-out functionality should wait for a sales package that that has it again.
    The new batch of phones should have the feature back. As this matter is clearly stated in the sales package, it is not possible to return to Nokia. However, you may check with your dealer if they have a policy regarding the return of the unit in exchange for a version that has the TV-out feature. Those individuals who wish to have the TV-out functionality should wait for a sales package that that has it again.
    Apologies for any inconvenience.

  • Does Premiere Pro support a "self-record" mode?

    Does Premiere Pro support a "self-record" mode? It would record a new video with the source being what you are previewing, in terms of "animation" rather than in terms of the quality seen on screen. I often like to make humorous effects by dragging the time indicator back and forth, and have to resort to recording my own screen while in semi-fullscreen mode, then import that video and crop out the chrome. This obviously is not optimal and results in significant quality loss. Does Pr itself have such a feature built in?
    I doubt it does, but it would be extremely useful.

    Ditto what mark said. The intended purpose of the project manager is basically to do just as you said. It was a great solution for anyone that wanted to store the few usable minutes of their media and were confident in just discarding the rest. The problem is that, as Mark said, it doesn't handle the trimming of all common file types these days. That's because, in video, 'destructive' editing is always a matter of re-exporting edited versions and project manage simply cannot export every format to any format. The original files are never actually being trimmed down, you're just getting new versions to replace the old ones with. This represents another drawback in the form of generational loss. That's why the Project Trimmer many not be the ideal solution for you even if it is able to trim all applicable formats for you.
    I tend to agree with Jim and thing that the better way to go is with Prelude. With that app, you can log what you want before hand and then capture (or, more accurately, 'Ingest') just those parts from the start. Still, it might be a good idea to save the original footage on memory card(s), hard drive(s)s (or , dare I say, tape(s_?). That way if you find out later that you didn't capture (or ingest) all of what you wanted, you can always go back and get it. Also you'll have an additional backup which could easily be re-captured from the original source if you've save the prelude project(s).

  • Desktop Intelligence XI 3.1 in 3-tier mode and a lot of Oracle sessions

    Hi All,
    I wanted to set BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 for our customers (they use BOE XI R2 now).
    But I met with some problem for Desktop Intelligence in 3-tier mode (ZABO formerly).
    Configuration:
    BO Server: BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1
    BO Client: Desktop Intelligence version 12.1.0.882
    BOE Connection Server: version 12.1.0.882 (2.0.0.29)
    Product database (Data Warehouse): Oracle Server 10g
    Database client: Oracle Client 10.2.0.1
    Connection type: http (J2EE Portal) u2013 Tomcat
    Customer DI Documents contain 10 queries on average.
    Problem:
    ConnectionServer create a session in Oracle FOR EACH QUERY from Desktop Intelligence document and BY EACH REFRESH.
    e.g.:
    30 users loaded any reports simultaneously and refresh theirs:
    30 users * 10 queries (per 1 doc on average) = 301 Oracle sessions !!! (300 for queries and 1 for connection)
    second refresh: 301 + 300 = 601 Oracle sessions
    third refresh: 601 + 300 = 901 Oracle sessions
    etc. while Oracle server is not down.
    For DI doc in 2-tier mode (client-server) u2013 only 1 sessionu2026
    Thanks.

    Look at the XI3.0 migration guide on that site.
