How to make power pivot connections reusable/editable ?

Hi All,
I've some power pivots in a share point server which data source is SQL server. I've used sql query (instead of selecting multiple tables) to fetch data from sql server. While creating the connection, I've export the connection file
to local and then uploaded the same to the excel connection library in share point server. This uploaded connection file has been referred in the power pivot in share point. The power view reports are working fine in this server. The properties of the connection
is editable till this.
But the problem will arise when we rename the power pivot sheet name. The browsing option of connection file and connection string become inactive after renaming the power pivot sheet name. How can I avoid this situation? I need to use the same power pivots
and power views in different servers / sub sites on the same share point server. So I need the connection property or browsing option should be editable. Then only I can change the connection file location to the current site/ server.
Can any of you give a solution to this issue?
Regards,
Julie

Hi All,
I got a solution for the above question. We can create the necessary sql connection in power pivot connection not in excel workbook connection. Before creating anything, open excel --> open power pivot --> connection from sql server -->
give the server name and database name --> switch to query mode --> write query and you can give the necessary name for the power pivot sheet as table name there. This works as we expected.
Regards,
Julie

How to seperate Power Pivot Data Model and Power Pivot Report from Single Workbook.

HI Team,
Initially, We have created Power Pivot report in workbook, containing Source Data Model as well.
Now, we want to convert workbook having model as Shared Data Model, and all report needs to be part of single workbook.
I want to implement one of the below solution, but know how to do it.
1. Separate and Export all Power Pivot report sheet into single Excel Workbook such that it will have all report sheets.
2. Use Same Model as it is and delete reports from existing one after export to new excel workbook.
OR
Is there is any other way to avoid re-creation of reports again? I want to use same report but instead of Embedded Excel data source, I want to use shared data Source in excel.

One option is to use one workbook as the data source(model) and other workbooks for the reports. This works in the stand alone Excel and SharePoint versions of Power BI, but not yet in O365 Power BI version.
There is no export functionality. You would have to copy the workbook and update data source references. I have never tried it, but in theory it should work :).

Hi Michael,
Yes your answer is partially correct..thanks for reply, I am working on Power Pivot reports on SharePoint.
However, below issues observed.
1. There is No Export Functionality ( as you told)
2. We can not copy report sheet from workbook1 (which has Data Model) to Workbook2 ( only for report) using Control + C (copy) and Control + V (paste) option.
Or Move Power Pivot Table ..
So, solution can be (as you said, unfortunately I tried it already but dint worked)
1. Copied workbook with New Name - Workbook2.
2. Go to Data -> I tried to change connection setting -> to use shared Data Model -> I could create new Pivot table using shared Data Model
But, Still I could use earlier designed Power Pivot tables as it is, to point to shared data model.
I don't want to re-design entire report. As my project workbook has plenty reports.... :)

How to make common database connection using bean, etc.

anyone know how to make a coomon database connection because on my web pages each of them need to connect on the database for their specific objectives... please help

Making a 'common' connection and passing it around is a bad idea. And making a new connection on every page, as you seem to have already guessed, also involves an overhead that you can do without.
Like drvijayj2k2 has mentioned, you should use connection pooling.

How to make a slide show or edition including mpeg and other formats

Hi,
I am i bit puzzled by the use of iphoto/imovie/itunes.
I have a Sony camera which generates jpg photos and mpg videos; besides, i have 3gp and mp4 videos from cell phones.
Firstly, i imported all of them to iphoto. I used a automator workflow to help importing from hotsynced Palm centro files, to discover the first problem with the 3gp files: they could not be iported by workflows.
Still, they could be seen in iphoto, but then i tried to make a slide show. My idea was to put the photos and videos of a certain event to be watched together, or at least to be able to watch the videos in a sequence, without having to click on each one.
I didnt get it in iphoto, so i switched to imovie. it was even worse, since it cannot import the mpgs and the 3gps (the jpg photos were ok). What could i do about that? is there any converter or other way?
then i tried the itunes, and it was the opposite: it imported and played in sequence the mpg videos, but not the photos. This is a workaround anyway, since the program expects to play movies, and makes my daughter a "star", but that`s ok, she is one to me.
i'll be thankful for hints on how to make the imovie compatible with the 3gp and mpgs, or finding some way to do this edition in iphoto or even with itunes.
regards

I see, it sounds reasonable , i think i will buy the pro and try.
QT Pro ($30) and MPEG Streamclip (free) complement each other. In many cases one can do things that the other cannot. For instance, MPEG Stramclip can handle/edit multiplexed formats while QT Pro cannot. QT Pro allows layering of data tracks while Streamclip does not. Streamclip merges file streams more easily than QT Pro but QT Pro allows the "Movie to MPEG-4" export to "passthrough" the video while Streamsclip does not. And so on and so forth...
I was referring to the mpegs from the Sony camera, of which a have hundreds, shot in the last 3 or 4 years, mainly from my 5-year old daughter. Is the above true to these?
That still doesn't help. By "sony camera," are you referring to a still digital camera (multiplexed MPEG-1) or a Sony video camcorder taking MPEG-4/AVCHD with AC3 audio in an MPEG wrapper, a Sony DVD/HDD camera storing some kind of MPEG-2/AC3 files. On a Mac, the extension MPG normally refers multiplexed MPEG-1 (or MPEG-1 audio layer) files while MPEG normally refers to multiplexed MPEG-2 video content with MPEG-1, layer 2 audio (MPEG2/MP2) but may also refer to files with MP3 or AC3 files in an MPEG, VOB, or TS wrapper. In addition it may loosely refer to elementary M2V video streams (M2V video file paired with a separate AIFF or AC3 file), a standard MPEG4/AAC file (in an MOV or MP4 wrapper) or a standard H.264/AAC file in MOV, MP4, or M4V wrapper). Since the handling, conversion, editing requirements vary with each type of file, it becomes important to what specific kind of content/file container we are dealing with here.

How to make the 'Finish Date' field Editable in Project server 2013

Hi All,
In Project server 2013 on premises deployment, When I try to create a new enterprise project [Also in case of new custom project type], Only the 'Start Date' field is available. The 'Finish Date' field is by default taking the value of the 'start Date' itself.
I am unable to make this 'Finish Date' field editable.
Any pointers on this would be very helpful,
Thanks
Shanky

Shanky --
When you create a new project in either Microsoft Project Professional or Project Online, the system does not allow you to enter both a Start date and a Finish date for the project. Here is how the software works:
You enter the Start date of the project.
You completely plan the project with tasks, task dependencies, task Durations, and assigning resources to tasks.
Based on the Start date you provide, plus all of the task information, the software calculates the Finish date of the project for you. So, you cannot provide both the Start date and the Finish date, nor is they any way to force the system to allow
you to do this. Hope this helps.

How to make Resource Forms fields non editable (OIM)

Hi all!
I would like to know if there's any way to make some resource fileds non editable.
I have one resource which is getting 3 fileds from the oim user profile. When i change the oim user profile, these values are updated on the resource form associated.
But i want to prevent the situation in which those fields are directly updated on the resouce form.
I now i can propagate those changes back to oim profile but it will be much appropiate for what we want if we just could prevent anyone from changing those values on the resource form.
Is it possible to make those fields non editable? How?
OIM version is 9.1.0.1.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, thanks.
Finally i found this: http://kr.forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=591683
and after setting the fields to required=false, it worked without any errors ("The Resource has not been configured properly" because of the prepopulate adapters)
Bye

Restoring the Business Intelligence Presentation Catalog and Updating Metadata
The third point blow above heading is not clear.
Thanks

Umesh - in order to build Answers and Dashboard content you must first setup a Physical model, then a Business model, followed by a Presentation Catalog/Subject Area.
All these tasks are carried out using the Repository Administration Utility.
1) Import your physical tables using OCI/ODBC into the physical layer.
2) Build your model
3) Deploy
Then you're ready to start building answers/dashboards.
Good Luck.

TP4 How to make an AppServer connection through a Firewall ?

In the Resource Manager we can not seem to find a way to modify the url to include http: ... Can someone point out some document on how to do this?

Chris Thanks for your reply. I am trying to do the following:
In the "application server navigator" under application servers I am attempting to make a connection to a JDev TP4 instance in stand alone mode that is behind a fire wall.
My understanding from the OC4J docs is have seen is I need to use a http port but in the connection manager I do not see a way to adapt the url to make a proper connection. Is this something that was just not taken into account ??? or am I just missing something here to make the connection. The help is of no use on this subject so I appreciate any assistance I can get.

How to make a internet connection!!

I need to make a internet connection before a start a servlet (client) there's a form to do that ????

There is no such thing as a 'internet connection'. You don't connect to the internet, you connect to computers - like DSN servers, web servers etc.
Presumably you have a network. A client (browser) must connect to an application server to use a servlet. This is true even when running on the same box.
Your question is how to you connect to the web server? What application/web server are you running?
