Import wizard and linked server

Hi guys, I got a problem that I'm trying to resolve but it's gonna to be hard...
Sql 2008 R2, I got two linked server from Oracle ( I think that the linked server are two filegroup). I need to move some table ( millions of rows) from Oracle, so the linked server, to one of my database. So far I did this with a lot of other database using
the import task but with the linked server I got the problem that the wizard doesn't recognize the linked server as database and so doesn't allow me to import data from. Any suggestion? Meanwhile I'm googling but I did't find much...
Thanks

Thanks everyone. The problem is the lack of authorization, I think...I'm working like an acrobat moving huge data from Oracle ( and others Sql Server) to my database...so far I decided to use an insert to and it works but of course I would prefere to use
the wizard...
The Import/Export wizard is designed to use a direct connection to the Oracle server, not a linked server. You should simply select Oracle as the source driver and enter the information. That will be the fastest transfer method.
The wizard doesn't recognize the Oracle server...and anyway even if I can connect Oracle by linked server is not granted I can do the same using the wizard...

How to data insert Source server and Linked server (Target Server) at same transaction

I have try several times for Data insert Source server and Linked server (Target Server) at same transaction. I am using Begin transaction. but Source server is completed and Linked server error (or Linked server Completed and source server
ERROR). at this moment I want ROLL back. how?

Hi
Run below query by changing to yourr linked server name and see if DTC is enable or not.. if not
Begin distributed transaction
select * from [ServerName].master.dbo.sysprocesses

Running a SSIS package with SQL Job and Linked Server

I have a SSIS 2008 package. In one of the Script task I am calling a stored procedure which is using Openquery using linked server. I deployed this package with protection level as "EncryptWithPassword" and gave a password to the package.
Created a SQL job and edited its command line to include the password. If I login to SQL Server Mgmt Studio with Windows Authentication and run the job manually it runs fine. But when I schedule it then I get an error that "The Communication link to Linked
server failed".
Please help

Hi Vivek.B,
The issue should occur because the SQL Server Agent Service Account or SQL Agent Proxy account under which the job step runs doesn’t have sufficient permissions on the linked server.
If the job owner is the sysadmin fixed server role, the job can be run under the SQL Server Agent Service Account or a proxy account, then please make sure the SQL Agent Service Account or the proxy account has corresponding login on the linked server. If
the job owner is not a sysadmin fixed server role, the job must run under a proxy account. In this case, make sure the proxy account has a corresponding login on the linked server.

Vb 2010 data source configuration wizard and sql server 2012

I am having a problem using the Data Source Configuration Wizard in vb 2010 express to connect to a remote SQL server database. The weird thing is that I can connect to it just fine if I manually dimension the sqlcommand, sqlconnection and set up the sql
connectionstring. So I know the connectivity is possible, but I would like to use the functionality of the Data Source Configuration Wizard.
Here's what happens when I attempt to add a connection via the Database Explorer:
I only get two SQL Server options. Neither will let me connect to a remote database.
I know that Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 isn't what I want, but I have tried it anyway. It will only let me connect to a database on my computer. An 'ActiveSync' option is greyed out.
Microsoft SQL Server Database File would appear to be what I want, but when I select this option, it informs me (as you can see) that this will only work for a local database:
The connection string that I build manually (and which works) looks like this:
Dim
myConn
As
NewSqlConnection(sConnect)
sConnect =
""Data Source=xxxxxx.xxxxxx.com;Server=""Xxxx XXX Database"";Initial Catalog=StockAnalysisProd;User
ID=cadietz;Password = "& sPW &
I have attempted all variation of this string in the database file name input box to no avail. I think it really should go in as a Data Source but those are hard wired and cannot be changed. I'm sure I'm doing something stupid, but I need someone
to point out what it is. Thanks in advance for your help...

Alberto... thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately this does not appear to work. I downloaded Visual Studio Express for the Web (2012) and attempted the 'work around' proposed by Sergey and I could not make it work on the remote server. I have given up on the Data Connection Wizard and
am simply connecting to my remote SQL server using the manual classes (SqlConnection, SqlCommand, SqlDataAdapter, etc.). The moderator has marked this as an answer but I'm going to unmark it.
I am now even more frustrated because I now find that I cannot connect to my LOCAL SQL database using the Data Connection Wizard and the circumstances are even weirder. Here's what happens:
I open the Add Connection window, select 'Microsoft SQL Server Database File (SqlClient)' as the data source.
I then browse to my local database file in the Database file name input box. When I click the 'Test Connection' button I get a message box that informs me: 'Test connection
succeeded'. Voila!
But, alas, when I close the message box and click OK on the Add Connection window I get this message: 'The ability to open this connection is not supported in this edition of Visual Studio'.
I mean this borders on the absurd. Why is the Data Connection Wizard even offered with VB 2010 Express if you can't use it for anything. Once again I can get around the problem manually but I'm getting very frustrated with MS. Any suggestions??

Import Wizard vs LCM for Migration of BO from one server to another

Hi Experts,
Can anyone highlight the differences between Import Wizard and LCM (in terms of migrating/deploying BO from one server to another)?
We are currently using BO XI 3.0, which does not support LCM. I'd like to know if LCM has enough advantages to justify an upgrade to BO XI 3.1.
Any advice is much appreciated.
Linda

Hi Tim,
Thanks a lot for your reply. May I have a follow-up question?
For my client, the following deployment activities are necessary:
1) From Development server, to one Test server containing 2 separate sets of objects - one set for SIT, the other set for UAT.
Object (Connections, Universes, Webi reports) names in Test server will be different from those in Development Server due to the existence of 2 sets of objects on the same server.
   a) For SIT: Universe A on Development server -> Universe SA on Test server
   b) For UAT: Universe A on development server -> Universe UA on Test server
2) From Development server, to Training server.
   Same object names will be used in Training server.
   E.g. Universe A in Development server copied to Universe A in Training Server
3) From Development server, to Production server
   Same object names used in Production server.
From the above, there will be 4 rounds of deployment. Is Import Wizard sufficient? Or is LCM still the better option?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

Import wizard -Does the connection parameter gets changed to prod query

Hello all,
we are planning to use import wizard and move all the stuff from BOBJ dev to Bobj QA. All the universes created are based on SAP BI query.
When using the txport wizard we are basically doing the Select all and Importing all the options given by system. My question is - Would the universe start pointing towards queries that we have already transported from BW dev to BW qa (we are using sap authentication)?
Also when we select all will the user group, client created access levels and root/public folder all get transported?
We are getting a warning message "You have chosen to import server groups from source environment" - Server groups are imported w/o member services. After importing is complete you will have to manually add the desired server to the imported server groups. Failure to do so will render the server groups invalid, which will prevent any reports dependent on the server group from running succesfully......should we not import server groups?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hi Stratos,
Finally we were able to import our universes and reports. So once the import is done, do I need to open the designer under my QA authentication and then go to the parameters and edit the connection to point to BWQ server and system? Once we do the change save universe and export it to the BOBJ QA CMS?
Let me know.Thanks in advance

Error export universes with Import Wizard to BIAR file

We've some problems exporting universes to a BIAR file using the Import Wizard. Our environment is a BOXI R3.1 on a Windows 2003 machine with Windows AD authentication.
When we try to export universes with the Import Wizard into a BIAR file, all objects are marked with error "Unknown export failure". This problem occours, since we have defined "Access Restrictions" with BO Universe Designer. When I unmark the option universes and select all, the export works without any problems.
We're using Windows AD authentification, so the users and groups that are defined in the "Access Restrictions" are AD users and groups.
How can we backup universes with Access Restrictions? Is there a known problem exporting universes that are using AD groups in the Access Restrictions?

I have found further information in the import wizard trace logfile

Import Wizard an InfoView question

Hi,
I used Import Wizard imported everything but server group from BOE XI to BOE XI 3.0. When I checked in InfoView, all of the published reports were imported but not the history. Does this mean that I have to reschedule everything? Did I miss anything?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Cindy

Hi Cindy,
There is an option for "Import all instances of each selected object" in Folder and Objects screen in Import Wizard, and you need to check it ON to bring all historical instances of the objects you are importing. This option is set to OFF by default.

Current Security Context Not Trusted When Using Linked Server From ABAP

Hello,
I am experiencing a head-scratcher of a problem when trying to use a Linked Server connection to query a remote SQL Server database from our R/3 system. We have had this working just fine for some time, but after migrating to new hardware and upgrading OS, DBMS, and R/3, now we are running into problems.
The target database is a named instance on SQL Server 2000 SP3, Windows 2000 Server. The original source R/3 system was 4.7x2.00, also on SQL Server 2000 (SP4), Windows 2000 Server. I had been using a Linked Server defined via SQL Enterprise Manager (actually defined when the source was on SQL Server 7), which called an alias defined with the Client Network Utility that pointed to the remote named instance. This alias and Linked Server worked great for several years.
Now we have migrated our R/3 system onto new hardware, running Windows Server 2003 SP1 and SQL Server 2005 SP1. The application itself has been upgraded to ECC 6.0. I performed the migration with a homogeneous system copy, and everything has worked just fine. I redefined the Linked Server on the new SQL 2005 installation, this time avoiding the alias and referencing the remote named instance directly, and it tests out just fine using queries from SQL Management Studio. It also tests fine with OSQL called from the R/3 server console, both when logged on as SAPServiceSID with a trusted connection, and with a SQL login as the schema owner (i.e., 'sid' in lowercase). From outside of R/3, I cannot make it fail. It works perfectly.
That all changes when I try to use the Linked Server within an ABAP application, however. The basic code in use is
EXEC SQL.
   SET XACT_ABORT ON
   DELETE FROM [SERVER\INSTANCE].DATABASE.dbo.TABLE
ENDEXEC.
The only thing different about this code from that before the upgrade/migration is the reference to [SERVER\INSTANCE] which previously used the alias of just SERVER.
The program short dumps with runtime error DBIF_DSQL2_SQL_ERROR, exception CX_SY_NATIVE_SQL_ERROR. The database error code is 15274, and the error text is "Access to the remote server is denied because the current security context is not trusted."
I have set the "trustworthy" property on the R/3 database, I have ensured SAPServiceSID is a member of the sysadmin SQL role, I've even made it a member of the local Administrators group on both source and target servers, and I've done the same with the SQL Server service account (it uses a domain account). I have configured the Distributed Transaction Coordinator on the source (Win2003) system per Microsoft KB 839279 (this fixed problems with remote queries coming the other way from the SQL2000 system), and I've upgraded the system stored procedures on the target (SQL2000) system according to MS KB 906954. I also tried making the schema user a member of the sysadmin role, but naturally that was disastrous, resulting in an instant R/3 crash (don't try this in production!), so I set it back the way it was (default).
What's really strange is no matter how I try this from outside the R/3 system, it works perfectly, but from within R/3 it does not. A search of SAP Notes, SDN forums, SAPFANS, Microsoft's KnowledgeBase, and MSDN Forums has not yielded quite the same problem (although that did lead me to learning about the "trustworthy" database property).
Any insight someone could offer on this thorny problem would be most appreciated.
Best regards,
Matt

Good news! We have got it to work. However, we did it in something of
a backwards way, and I'm sure you'll laugh when you see how it was done. Also, the solution depends upon the fact that the remote server is still using SQL Server 2000, and so doesn't have quite so many restrictions placed upon it for distributed transactions and Linked Servers as SQL Server 2005 now does.
At the heart of the solution is the fact that the Linked Server coming FROM the remote server TO our SAP system works fine. Finally, coupled with the knowledge that using DBCON on the SAP side to the remote server also does actually provide a connection (see Notes 323151 and 738371), we set up a roundabout way of achieving our goal. In essence, from ABAP, we set up the DBCON connection to the remote server, at which point all the Native SQL commands execute in the context of the remote server. From within that connection, we
reference the tables in SAP via the Linked Server defined on the remote
server, as if SAP were the remote server, selecting data from SAP and inserting it into the remote (but apparently local to this connection) tables.
So, to spell it out, we define a Linked Server on the remote server pointing back to the SAP server as SAPSERV, with a SQL login mapping defined on the remote system pointing back to a SQL login in the SAP database. We also define a connection to the remote server from SAP using DBCON, using that remote SQL login for authentication.
Then, in our ABAP code, we simply do something along the lines of
exec sql.
   set connection 'REMOTE'
endexec.
exec sql.
   connect to 'REMOTE'
endexec.
exec sql.
   insert into REMOTE_TABLE
      select * from SAPSERV.SID.sid.SAP_TABLE
endexec.
exec sql.
   commit
endexec.
exec sql.
   disconnect 'REMOTE'
endexec.
This is, of course, a test program, but it demonstrated that it worked,
and we were able to see that entries were appropriately deleted and inserted in the remote server's table. The actual program for use is a little more complex, in that there are about four different operations at different times, and we had to resolve the fact that the temp table SAP_TABLE was being held in a lock by our program, resulting in a deadly embrace, but our developer was able to work that out, and all is now well.
I don't know if this solution will have applicability to any other customers, but it works for us, for now.
SAPSERV, REMOTE, REMOTE_TABLE, and SAP_TABLE are, of course, placeholder names, not the actual server or table names, so as not to confuse anyone.
Best regards,
Matt

Report and Layout Import Wizard does not work

We used the Report and Layout Import Wizard extensively in 8.80 with no problems encountered.
We are now upgraded to 8.81 PL07. This is the first attempt at using the wizard in 8.81. The intro window of the wizard, with 'To Start, use the "Next" button' message is as far as I can get. The "Next" and "Cancel" buttons are inoperative - when I click them, there is no response (but they are not greyed out). The program has not crashed - I can move the window, and the "X" close button at top right works, but nothing else does. I am logged in as a superuser, running B1 in an RDP session on the server, same as under 8.80.
Any ideas out there?

Hi,
This is a 8.81 PL07 bug!
I had the same problem this week, and i found the note [1615932 - Buttons "Cancel" and "Next" are inactive in Report and layout import wizard window], that says that it is corrected on PL08!

Alice

Very slow Export to Media Encoder and Media Encoder connecting to dynamic link server

My flow is this: Open After Effects CC, import an image sequence, go to File > Export > Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue...
Every other time i do this it will take 2-3 mins before Media Encoder even shows the splash screen, then it'll take another 1-2 mins to open.
Next, I'll select my custom preset over on the right side of the window, then hit the Play button to begin encoding. Sometimes nothing will happen at all, sometimes I'll see the Orange stripped bar on the lower left and the message Media Encoder connecting to dynamic link server and that'll last 5+ minutes and I end task to get out of AE and ME. Sometimes, ME will begin encoding right away and zip through the small animation sequence quickly without issue.
I have WIndows 7 Pro, I'm on a work network with access to the internet and AE has been updated 24 days ago. I have a subscription and I'm signed on. However, sometimes I do not have the Creative-Cloud icon in my systray.
Thanks,

Thanks. I have 16GB Ram, 64bit Win7, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3970X @ 3.50GHz 3.50GHz. AE is set to have maximum disk cache of 46GB. RAM reserved for other applications: 5GB RAM available for AE, PR, Pl, (some triangular icon [edit] which is ME ), Ps: 10GB. nothing else checked on that screen.
Typically just a mail client, 1 or 2 sessions of Firefox, 1 or 2 network folders open when i launch AE.
The last couple of times specifically, i had a 450 frame animation sequence at native 720p. then i added a curves layer on top of it in AE, then added two ~600x300px logos, one in each lower corner, then added a new solid layer which i used as a vignette. Finally over that i added a 720p still image which i held for another 15 seconds beyond the animation.
For the above, i ended-task, rebooted, brought it up again and it lauched ME quickly, then i got the stripped bar and connecting message until i ended task on that, then the 3rd time was the charm - everything opened quickly and it began to encode quickly.
The next three uses late afternoon yesterday were 150 frame animations at 480x270 and they all seemed to work fine. I created the sequence in 3ds max, then closed and went into AE. Then I'd close AE render another sequence, back into AE etc...

Import Error: Connecting to Dynamic Link Server Failed

Just tried to import file sinto a brand new LR Catalog when I got this message...here's the entire error message:
"An unknown error has occurred while reading the video file. Connecting to Dynamic Link server failed. (98)"
Connecting to Dynamic Link Server Failed
this was then followed by a list of files of these types:
.mov
.m4v
.3gp

I've read several threads about this problem (because I had it myself) and what worked was closing Lightroom, uninstalling Quicktime, restart Lightroom, ignore the "you have to have quicktime" message, and import the videos. Then I reinstalled Quicktime.
But, I think the problem isn't quicktime itself; I think it's something to do with iTunes. During Quicktime uninstallation, it said that iTunes was open. I disagreed, but Task Manager showed the process still running. I had to kill it manually to complete the uninstall.
So, just a thought, maybe check to be sure iTunes isn't running before trying the Lightroom import? One never knows....

Regarding MDM Import and Syndication Server

Hi,
I have earlier worked in MDM Import Server.
Today, I successfully did MDM Syndication by
MDM Syndicator.
Now, the point is I need to do Import and Syndication
by MDM Import Server and MDM Syndication Server.
The MDM Version is 5.5.
Now, the point is under my installed directory:
F:\MDM SERVER\Server
in mds.ini file:
I need to give the following path:
Distribution Root Dir=F:\MDMSER~1\Server\Distributions\
I think other than these I don't have to do any configuration
in mdis.ini or mdss.ini.
Also, I have already inbound and outbound ports made and linked
to inbound and outbound maps.
Is there any more configuration needed?
Regards
Neha Singh

Hi Neha,
There are many configuration needed to complete the Automatic import and syndication using MDIS and MDSS.
Please go through the link below for the same:

FM 8 and getting Workgroups to import text blocks from server?

Via the FM 8 Workgroups feature, I am trying to implement importing text blocks on a server (by reference), with auto-update so if the text block on the server changes the Workgroups-linked text block in my local file updates when I open the local file.
Although I followed the Workgroups setup instructions in FM 8 Help, I get a Network Failure. Unable to access server message when I select the file to import and select Import by reference. (I did try the Import/Copy and Open options but got the same error message.) The Workgroups Import dialog box does access the server, as the .fm files on that server are available for selection. Also, the files on the server have the appropriate permission/access privileges set.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Unfortunately the Workgroups part of FM is not very widely used -- nor very well documented, as you've found -- so there aren't many users who can provide any suggestions. Most user comments that I've read about it are pretty much that it's at best a half-baked implementation, pretty much in parallel with the way the HTML export is quite limited an thus there are several other 3rd party options that provide much more thorough functionality.
Also, with the switchover in forum software on this forum the readership here has been greatly reduced, so I'd say your best bet might be to post on the FrameUsers list, at http://www.frameusers.com because your query will reach a more diverse audience.
You might also check Scott Prentice's tools list at http://www.leximation.com to see if there are any 3rd party workgroup-specific tools available.
Personally, though, I'd also check out using FrameScript instead of Workgroups, as I think it would offer much more flexibility and scope. The Framescript group can be found at
