How do I edit data source when opening Lumira project on a new PC?

I have been working on a project in Lumira for a client of the company I work for. The idea is that I build the Lumira project for them (with the goal of them being able to analyse data from their logistics department), and I then hand the completed project over to them, from which point they are able to update the data on a weekly basis.
I have been updating the data (which is derived from an excel spreadsheet) for a number of weeks with no issue at all, and the client is thoroughly impressed with it, and with the capabilities of Lumira. The problem is that when I want to share the project with the client, ie. by allowing them to open it and edit it on their own computers I am unable to do so.
This is the procedure I follow:
From My Documents, I open the folder named SAP Lumira Documents, select the project in question, and email it to the intended recipients.
From there, I instruct the recipients to open SAP Lumira, select File>Import to folder, and then select the project.
When the project is open, it works and interacts perfectly, but at this point, I want the client to be able to do the following:Select Data>Edit; to allow them to specify a new data source (which is identical to the one upon which the project is built), and therefore be able to update the data as and when necessary, without my help.
When I do this, however, I receive the following error:
Unable to find file "File Name & Location"
How do I work my way around this? I could rebuild the project on a computer at the client’s premises, but the idea is that many people are able to use this project, and refresh the data. So it is obviously impractical for me to rebuild this multiple times. I would really appreciate your assistance with this.

To elaborate on Tammy's idea, you could use for instance C:\Users\Public at the place where you initially put your Excel file to make sure this is found on the target computer. I would consider this a workaround though.
Or for Lumira documents that you already designed, change the location of the Excel file and use Data/Edit from your computer, then save the Lumira documents before sending them to the target audience. 
From my humble opinion, the product should allow to use Data/Edit and change the source file even if the initial file path is no longer found. This should be possible for your target audience.

  • How to add a data-source.xml to the project to config DB connections and to be SCM'ed

    I'd like to explicitly manage a data-sources.xml for my JSP + BC4J project.
    Any helps on getting the released Jdev to add a data-source.xml that would then
    be what the .ear deploys to OC4J?
    Thanks, curt

    I have a JSP + BC4J project:
    So far my naive experiments to explicitely add data-sources.xml to a
    project that is picked up by the deploy to .ear step and put in the
    root of the .ear have failed.
    Is this one of those gaps like the orion-application.xml file, that has no
    solution at present?
    Or is the back-door via adding an EJB component to my project, then deleting it??
    Thanks, curt

  • When opening the project at a new computer, the sound and picture doesn´t match

    We are editing a documentary and when we open the project at a new computer the sound and clip doesn't match. We have noticed that the problem is that if we have a clip named 0001 on one SD card, it takes the sound from another SD card where the clip also is named 0001. Since we are working with a lot of material and this has happened on almost every one of them, its a huge problem, since we got no time to reimport and redo every clip. Thankful for your help.

    Try batch renaming some of the files.

  • How to stop automatic date changes when opening an old document?

    I use Pages to create my invoices. The problem I'm having is this:  when there is a question about an invoice and I need to reopen it the date changes from the original date (which I need) to today's date.  I understand why it does this, and I want it to do this when I create the thing, but is there a way to keep it from happening from saved documents?
    As a follow up question:  it must be very simple to find the date the document was created.  Could someone please tell me where to find this?
    Thanks in advance

    You likely put a date stamp on your invoice via the menu hiearchy, Insert > Date & Time. Highlight the date string, then from a right-mouse button menu, choose Edit Date & Time... You will see another pop-up that gives you some control over your newly inserted Date & Time.

  • How to turn off "save as" when opening a project template?

    Every time i open my template and want to start working, there's logic's menu appears which offer "save current project as", how can i turn it off? if i want to save i will do it manually when create something cool.
    didn't find it in preferences/general/startup action.
    any thoughts will be appreciated.

    my sine is fine wrote:
    well, every time when i switch record button it always asks me where to save recorded data.
    My point exactly. By not permitting Logic to establish a functional folder sturucture, you ask for a lot more mouseclicks and distractions than necessary.
    so thanks but i still don't know how to avoid that "save as"
    Do as I said, save it once and live happily ever after.

  • How to set JDBC Data Sources in Oracle MapViewer for Oracle database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1)

    How to set JDBC Data Sources in Oracle MapViewer for Oracle database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1)?
    The following is my configuration in the conf\mapViewerConfig.xml:
    <map_data_source name="mvdemo12"
    jdbc_host="127.0.0.1"
    jdbc_sid="orcl12c1"
    jdbc_port="1522"
    jdbc_user="mvdemo"
    jdbc_password="7OVl2rJ+hOYxG5T3vKJQb+hW4NPgy9EN"
    jdbc_mode="thin"
    number_of_mappers="3"
    allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi="true"
    editable="true"/>
    <!--  ****  -->
    But it does not work.
    After use "sqlplus mvdemo/[email protected]:1522/pdborcl", it connected to the Oracle database 12c.
    Does anyone know it?
    Thanks,

    For 11.1.1.7.1 use the syntax for jdbc_sid, i.e.
    //mypdb1.foo.com as described in the README,
    - MapViewer native (non-container) data sources can now use database service name in place of SID. To supply a db service name, you will use the same jdbc_sid attribute, but specify the service name with double slashes in front, such as follows:
      <map_data_source name="myds"
        jdbc_host="foo.com"
        jdbc_sid="//mypdb1.foo.com"
        jdbc_port="1522"
      />
    For 11.1.1.7.0 use a container_ds instead.
    i.e. instead of using
    <map_data_source name="my_12c_test"
                       jdbc_host="mydbinstance"
                       jdbc_sid="pdborcl12c"
                       jdbc_port="1522"
                       jdbc_user="mytestuser"
                       jdbc_password="m2E7T48U3LfRjKwR0YFETQcjNb4gCMLG8/X0KWjO00Q="
                       jdbc_mode="thin"
                       number_of_mappers="6"
                       allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi="false"
                       editable="false"
       />
    use
      <map_data_source name="my_12c_test"
                       container_ds="jdbc/db12c"
                       number_of_mappers="6"
                       allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi="false"
                       editable="false"
       />
    In my case the Glassfish 3.1.2.2 JDBC connection pool definition was
    Property
    url  jdbc:oracle:thin:@mydbinstance:1522/pdborcl12c.rest_of.service.name
    Uncheck the Wrap JDBC Objects option in Advanced panel, i.e. the Edit JDBC Connection Pool Advanced properties page.
    Add a JDBC resource for that newly created pool
    Use that in mapviewerconfig.xml as above

  • How to Define a Data Source in a Standard Way for EJB 3.0?

    I have an EJB 3.0 project that I want to deploy to different kinds of servers. I got it to work for OC4J, but when I tried to deploy it to JBoss I found out really quick that there are actually no data sources defined in my EJB Jar and that JDeveloper does not (that I am aware of) define data sources by default in a portable way.
    I could be wrong on this. Not sure. Any info for explicitly defining data sources for EJB 3.0 in a portable way would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank You,
    KurzHome

    Frank,
    Thanks for your response. I will try that.
    One thing I am confused about is how to link the EJB and the data source name. Unless I am missing something obvious, I can't find a configuration setting that explicitly states that my Entity EJB uses XYZ data source (when using OC4J). Where is this defined? Also, what configuration do I add to to my EJB or other file to link it to the JBoss defined data source?
    Thanks,

  • Change PowerPivot data source when deploying from Dev - Staging - Production

    We have PowerPivot workbooks we store in SharePoint 2013 Libraries. 
    We have a powershell script which automates the deployment of sites and pages. Is there a way using PowerShell (or any scripting language really) to look into the workbook and change the PowerPivot data source when deployment from one environment to
    another? (Dev -> Stage -> Prod) We need to update the workbooks to point to our SSAS cubes Dev -> Stage -> Prod respectively.
    Thank you for any expert advice you may offer,

    Basically, it's an excel file (XLSX) file and you can use excel OM for this.
    A simple program (in C# or any language of your choice) can be written to do the following and achieve what you need.
    using XLS = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;
    string info = null;
    XLS.Application application = null;
    try
     application = new XLS.Application();
     var book = application.Workbooks.Open(filepath);
     foreach (XLS.WorkbookConnection wc in book.Connections)
      switch (wc.Type)
       case XLS.XlConnectionType.xlConnectionTypeOLEDB:
        info = wc.Name + " " + wc.OLEDBConnection.Connection.ToString() + "\r\n";
        break;
     book.Close();
    finally
     if (application != null)
      application.Quit();
    Hopefully, this was helpful.

  • Multiple data sources to open hub destination ??

    Hi,
            Is it possible to assign multiple data sources to open hub destination?
    At present we are FTP'ing a file to users. Users need one more field added to this file. The information for this field belongs to another ODS. I  checked the infospoke but it does not accept multiple data sources.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Edited by: BI Quest on Sep 4, 2008 8:12 PM

    You can create multiple transformations for open hub destination. Create destination of open hub destination to be file on application server and then use transfer mechanism to transfer files to desired destination.

  • How to use Sql data source from Essbase 9.3.1

    Hi All,
    How to use Sql data source from Essbase 9.3.1 for ASO cube.Are there any rules and limitations for that.
    Do we need to create any data source connection for this purpose. If there please let me know the dteps to create that connection.
    Regards

    Yes you need to create one DSN connection and you have to use DSN name and login details at the time of building/loading of the outline.
    Create DSN
    Goto Administrative tools -> DataSources (ODBC) and add the DSN name and specify the Server name of SQL and login details and database.
    goto data prep editor and click on File Menu and Click on Open SQL option Next window opens.
    There you have to enter the details of the DSN connection and SQL query to build/load.

  • Can we set the dynamic data source when using getReportParameters() ?

    Hello!
    I have a report where one of its parameters refers to a list of values (LOVs). This list of values is an SQL Query type. When the data source used in the report is defined in the BI Publisher server, I'm able to get the report parameters using the getReportParameters() function in my application. However, if the data source is not defined the function throws an exception, which is understandable.
    I decided to dynamically set the data source so that even if the data source used by the report is not defined in the BI Publisher server, it still will be able to get the LOVs for the parameter. I tried setting the JDBCDataSource of the dynamicDataSource for the ReportRequest object that I passed to the getReportParameters() function. Please see the sample code below:
    reportRequest.dynamicDataSource = new BIP10.BIPDataSource();
    reportRequest.dynamicDataSource.JDBCDataSource = new BIP10.JDBCDataSource();
    setReportDataSource(reportRequest.dynamicDataSource.JDBCDataSource, connectstr, jdbc, dc); //function to set the values for JDBCDataSource object
    reportParams = webrs.getReportParameters(reportRequest, uid, pwd); //call the getReportParameters
    I was expecting this to work as this is what I did to dynamically set the data source before calling the runReport function. So, my question is -- can we set the dynamic data source when using getReportParameters() ? I tried this both in versions 10g and 11g. It does not seem to work on both versions.
    Regards,
    Stephanie

    report_id column of apex_application_page_ir_rpt can help us uniquely identify each saved report.
    We can assign this report_id value to a page item and this page item can be put in the Report ID Item text box of the Advanced section of the Report Attributes page of the IR.
    This should load the saved report identified by report_id and you can get rid of javascript
