Front end connection issues

Hi,
We have just gone live with 2004s and noticing that users are continually being thrown out of the analyser and query designer with the generic 'critical error' message.
Looking at the system log I can see a number of entries with the following:
<b>Communication error CPIC return code 020, SAP return code 223</b>
Has anyone seen this before? If so how did you fix it?
any help appreciated,
Michael

You may want to start with these
When you have problems with logging on to a BW system using a BW front-end application, first check whether the following logons are working properly.
1. Logon to BW back end with SAP GUI
2. Logon with srfctest.exe (see below)
3. Logon with BEx Browser
4. Logon with BEx Analyzer (via start menu)
5. Logon with BEx Analyzer (via SAP GUI with transaction RRMX)
This is important in order to determine whether this is a general or specific problem
For details check below-
Note 452443 - Problems logging on to BW systems
Most of the network related issues are solved by taking Basis help and support,they can trouble shoot well with their check list.
Hope it Helps

Lync front end connectivity test fails (SSL certificate / URL problem)

We have a weird problem in our installation where Lync keeps complaining about connectivity issues to external reach proxy on our front end server.
The event log error codes are 41024 and 41026.
Here's the error from the snooper utility:
TL_ERROR(TF_COMPONENT) [0]1A14.0EE4::12/12/2014-10:31:30.901.0000000d (DataMCURunTime,DataProxies.ProcessResponse:1197.idx(601))
(0000000001595A27)Failed poking Proxy error=[The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel.], type=[ExternalReachProxy], url=[https://dunords36.du.local:4443/Reach/DataCollaborationRelayWebService.svc]
The problem is that it makes the test with the INTERNAL FQDN (dunords36.du.local) and thus the SSL trust fails as the certificate is for our EXTERNAL FQDN on the front end server! I have verified this by testing the above URL with the external address and
the internal one. With the external one the certificate is OK.
If you're wondering; we do not use a reverse proxy. Instead we just have the firewall change the port and forward the traffic to our front end server. Our lync setup is a NAT'ed setup.
I know about the security risks so this is not what the discussion is about.
I can't find anywhere where i can change the above behaviour and tell lync to make the test on the correct, external FQDN. The settings in the topology builder all seems to be OK. And as you can see it does make the test on port 4443 which in our topology
builder is configured for our external FQDN.

Hi,
Would you please elaborate your Lync Server environment (Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition)?
Please double check if you enter the correct external base URL on Lync Topology.
Please also check if the SAN of FE Server certificate correctly.

Can we have Cognos front end connect to OBIEE repository

How Can we have OBIEE repository be taken as Input in Cognos Framework?
Any suggestions?

Hi,
If your using Cognos version like MDX/XMLA then it should be possible. (on older cognos version you migth have to "reroute" trought an SSAS service.
http://www.biblogs.com/2007/11/26/essbase-integration-with-obiee-101331/
OBIEE with Essbase as datasource-what I need to know
Just fyi...
You can't connect directly to the Cognos cube, you have to go trough the Cognos Reporting server:
OBIEE -> Cognos Reporting Server - > Cognos Cube
or
OBIEE -> MS - SSAS server - > Cognos Reporting Server -> Cognos Cube
But if you are already on Cognos why do you want to transfer data to OBIEE? Cognos is NOT an ETL tool. A Cognos Cube File is only a data file for a Cognos Reporting server.
Thanks

How to implement Oracle user/role security with Access front end?

Hi,
We have successfully migrated our Access database tables to Oracle 10g using SQL developer. We've recreated all the users and roles(i.e., access groups) in Oracle and granted rights to tables.
In the Access front end database, in the Database window we have saved linked Oracle tables which replaced the Access tables. The forms, reports, queries run fine with the linked Oracle tables. All the linked table use one ODBC DSN to the Oracle database with the same Oracle user id.
We need to be able to authenticate users into the Oracle database and RE-link the tables based on their own unique user id. By during so we can allow users to use the Oracle standard user id/role and system privileges to control select, update, ect. rights to the database.
I've been able to use the VB code within Access to logon into the database with a unique id, but I have not been able to find out how to RE-link the tables to the unique user id using VB. There should be some way to relink tables dynamically, based on users login into the Access front end.
I don't know a great deal about Access projects, but I do know with SQL server allows login into your Access project and link tables dynamically.
Can someone give me some assistance or point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
Larry

We had one of our programmers here come up with a VB code solution for re-linking table within Access. However the relinking takes 3-4 minutes for 100+ tables.
In an effort to help you understand the situation better, I will attempt to elaborate on the problem:
We have an Access 2003 application which currently has a front end using Access(forms, reports, queries, & VB code) and a MS Access 2003 backend.
We have migrated the backend tables to Oracle. However, we still have a need to maintain the front end in Access, since we have over 60 forms, 40 reports, 200+ queries in Access. Its easy to understand, we have a significant investment in the front end(Obviously, the plan is to migrate the front end also at some future date).
In order to utilized the existing front end, we have to validate and modify the current front end connections to the new Oracle backend. One of the features of Access is that you can "link" tables and save the link for runtime. Each Access table can have its own link which is a separate ODBC/JET connection. As such, each separate link has its own userid/database information.
The other issue with using the Access front-end is that Access utilizes a workgroup file to implement user and group security. The workgroup file contains all the users and which groups the users belong to in Access. Then within Access, you allow users access to object(tables, queries, ect) by their userid and or group. When users open an Access database with Access security enabled, they are required to log into Access. The login is authenticated by the workgroup file. Once, logged into Access, users have rights to Access objects based on their rights granted to their userid and groups they belong. The problem here is that when you remove the linked Access tables and replace them with linked Oracle tables, Access has knowledge about Oracle table rights granted to users; nor would you expect it to.
The dilema is the disconnect between Access and the fact Oracle utilizes a similar but much more sophisticated security model. It creates users and roles(which are similar to Access groups), and again this is independent of Access security.
Our solution was to still use the Access workgroup file security along with the Oracle security model. By using the Access userid and then creating a similar Oracle userid with similar table rights granted in Access, you could apply security within Access and also with the Oracle database.
For example, a user BOB logs into Access via the workgroup file, using VB code, Access then establishes a Oracle connection logining into Oracle using the same unique userid BOB into Oracle.
After connecting and validating user BOB into Oracle, then the Access tables are relinked to Oracle using the user BOB userid and table rights.
This Oracle userid has been granted table rights specific for this userid.This allows the user BOB to use the Access application and still be authenticated into the Oracle database.
The problem with this solution is that the relinking of the saved Access tables takes 3-7 minutes for about 100+ tables. This is not acceptable for users each time they log into the application.
Our current alternative is to use one Oracle userid to login each user, and use Access form restrictions/security to allow/prevent users from updating/viewing data. Obviously, this is not the optimal solution in respect to security, but it at least allows us to control access to the data(via the forms) by using one logon required for each user, and quick startup time for the application.
I understand SQL server does a better job in integration, but we use Oracle which is what I am trying to work with.

Ms-access XP front-end and oracle ODBC driver

Hi all,
I need to set up 5 workstations with ms-access front end accessing an oracle database through Oracle ODBC 9.2.0.5.0 driver and linked tables.
My main concern is to learn about any issues that may limit what can and can�t be done through access as opposed to an oracle client. I found out that the maximum size of an access XP database is 2GB, but I have not found accurate information as to the maximum number of records ms-access can handle per table. This would be of critical importance to me because the tables I'm working with may eventually hold up to hundreds of thousands of records.
Concurrency control is also an important topic since 2 or more of the clients may at some point read or write information on the same tables.
Answers to these questions and any other issues of special importance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
JP.

Just seen this message you had posted to OTN. I am currently looking for some sample codes developing applications using MS Access as front end connected to Oracle database. I appreciate if you can provide me some sample codes that has a master-detail-relationship type of access form that performs an inserts into the master and detail table. Thanks a lot.

SharePoint Foundation 2013 - Search Configuration Issue - 2 App Servers and 2 Front-End Servers

Hi,
We have a SharePoint Foundation 2013 with SP1 Environment.
In that, we have 2 Front-End Servers and 2 App Servers. In the Front-End Servers, the Search Service is stopped and is in Disabled state and in the 2 App Servers in One App Server, Search is Online and in another Search is Starting but goes to Stopped sooon
after.
Originally, we had only 1 App Server and we were running our Search Service and Search Service Application in that. Now since the index location became full and we were unable to increase the drive there, we added one more App Server and now the issue is
Search is not properly getting configured in either of these App servers. What we want to do is run Search only in the new App Server, because we have a lot of storage space for Index locations here, but in the older App Server, not run Search at all. We
tried keeping the Search Service disabled and ran the below PowerShell Scripts, but none of the ones are working. These scripts are creating the Search Service Application, but the error of "Admin Component is not Online", "Could not connect
to the machine hosting SharePoint 2013 admin component" is coming up.

SQL Server 2005 replaced with SQL Server 2014 trying to connect front end Access as guest (read only ODBC)

We have replaced a SQL Server 2005 with a SQL Server 2014 (new physical server.) Have the new server set up to use SQL Server login OR Windows user login. Had old server connecting (for a particular DB) to front end Access (2010 or 2013) as guest for
anyone logged into the Windows NT Network with a read only ODBC connection. Have the DB in the new server set to include guest as db_datareader (with only SELECT permission for the securables of each table and view being linked) but when any Windows user not
specifically listed as a SQL DB user tries to use the front end they get an error of:
Microsoft SQL Server Login
Connection failed:
SQL State: '28000'
SQL Server Error: 18456
[Microsoft][OCBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Login failed for user {domain\user}.
After closing that pop-up window a server login window appears. Of course, since the guest user is not specifically listed as a user in the DB that fails also. It seems like there should be a very simple solution to this, but I can't seem to find it. I want
to allow anyone logged in on the Windows system (locally) to be able to open the MS Access file (on their work station machine) and run their own (read only; select) queries on the SQL Server database. Any suggestions?
Thanks a billion in advance ----

Thanks for the response Olaf. I have now spent weeks researching this. I realize that using the guest account in most situations is not advised. As mentioned, I have restricted the guest account to allow the db_datareader role only, and have explicitly denied
all other roles, as well as allowing select only, and still have no access for the guest account.
The suggested fix in the second link you provided, of using Windows groups is not plausible for my situation either. We are a scientific field research institution, with a few long term users and lots of users that may have Windows accounts for a few months,
and then they are gone. It would be a nightmare for the network tech to try to keep a group account up to date, and we need to give access (read only, of course) to anyone logged into the system. Realize that the ONLY access of any kind to this database is
thru MS Access ACCDB, using a (by default) read only OCDB connection.
This type of access is used particularly because researchers need to be able to set up their own queries, and the MS Access query interface is particularly convenient for people who are not themselves SQL experts, yet are trying to get some very advanced
levels of output. Putting the database online is not practical because then we are back to the need for a comprehensive query interface, and just picking up general subsets of the data online (from a basic web page search feature) would be out of the question,
since the result set would involve hundreds of thousands if not millions of records.
So - that said - what exactly would you suggest, assuming we don't have the funds to buy a whole new system, and have spent plenty of money with Microsoft's Enterprise level MS Office so that all work stations have MS Access, and Microsoft's SQL Server,
as well as running our network on Microsoft's network software.

ERROR 14614 on Front End when testing with Remote Connectivity Analyzer

Hello forum
Does the Lync Remote Connectivity Analyzer not support 128 encryption?
Reason im asking is the following:
When I test my Lync edge server. I get the following error on the RCA result page: RegisterException.
After this error on the RCA, the event 14614 is logged on my Standard Edition Front end server.
INFO:
User authentication with NTLM protocol failed with error SEC_E_UNSUPPORTED_FUNCTION. This indicates a potential mismatch between security policy settings on the client and server computers.
Cause: This error can occur if the settings in "Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) clients" policy on the client computer are not the same as the settings in the "Network security: Minimum
session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) servers" policy on this server. By default, the "Require 128-bit encryption" setting is disabled for computers running Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003,
Windows 2000 Server, or Windows XP. For computers running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, this setting enabled by default.
Resolution:
Ensure that the "Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) clients" policy settings on the computers from which users log on are the same as "Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based
(including secure RPC) servers" policy settings on this server.
All of our Lync servers are running on Windows 2012 R2. So why this error from the RCA?

Please check your settings on the client and on the server.
I know, this is a old blog info, but it discribed the problem.

regards Holger Technical Specialist UC
Thanks for the answer, but in this case the "Client" is the Remote Connectivity Analyzer. So my question was, why is it not working with that? Does the RCA not support 128 bit?

Hi Soujanya,
This is known issue in BEx tools in this latest release.
We got the same problem and still facing.
We are using BEx 3.5X to access all reports.
Install BEx 3.5 too. Then you get two sub menus to access BEX tools.
Make sure that you open reports in 3.5 BEx Analyser.
I think all reports, which you tried to open in BEx(BI 7.0) are corrupted. try to copy to your datatargets/install (if they are BI Content Reports).
Good Luck,
Anand.
Pls give points if this is useful
