Is SSDT only a client tool?

Sorry I'm a bit confused about SQL Server Data Tool (SSDT).
What I read on internet is: "SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) is a toolset which provides an integrated environment for database developers to carry out all their database design work for any SQL Server platform (both on and off premise) within Visual Studio.
Database developers can use the SQL Server Object Explorer in VS to easily create or edit database objects and data, or execute queries."
But what is not clear to me is: if I haven't installed a SQL Server engine (e.g. SQL Server 2012), how to and where SSDT run/execute DDL/DML queries and store my .mdf file??
What I want ask to you is: Do SSDT is only a client tool or it provide also a server engine for  run/execute DDL/DML queries and store my .mdf file??
thanks.

Nope SSDT is a client tool which is used for developing projects. That itself comes in two favours
1. SSDT which can be used for database projects
2. SSDT BI - used for creating BI projects (SSIS/SSRS/SSAS)

http://sqlblog.com/blogs/jamie_thomson/archive/2013/04/03/ssdt-naming-confusion-cleared-up-somewhat.aspx
For creating databases you need to have a server instance (database engine) installed and will need to connect to it using client tool
like SQL Management studio and use create database option or CREATE DATABASE T-SQL command which will create mdf,ldf etc files. Once database is setup you can create scripts etc to be run against it from client tools.

  • BO client tools

    Hello experts,
    One of our projects in our company needs BO client tools including crystal reports and xcelsius. Our client already has the servers package installed. But we cannot access it as we do not have client tools.
    Our requirements are basically to:
    - View and change designs of BO reports( crystal, WebI, xcelsius)
    Our questions are:
    - Can we buy only the client tools? Will it suit our requirements listed above?
    - Do the below stated software packages include only client tools or both?
    SAPCrystal Reports 2008 INTL WIN 3-9 NUL
    SAPCrystal Reports 2008 INTL WIN NUL License
    BA&T SAP BusinessObjects BI Suite (user)
    -What would be the best package suited to our requirements for BO Xcelsius?
    Any information on the above would be very much appreciated. We have raised this query with SAP as well but there is no response so far.
    Kind regards,
    Minuj

    hi
    If you have purchased the server -- it is likely that you have the client licenses -- check with the person who was involved with making the purchase in your company.
    For Xcelsius -- it depends upon your needs -- here is a short summary
    u2022 Xcelsius Present enables users to create models with Microsoft Excel data.
    u2022 Xcelsius Engage enables users to create models and connect them to a single external data sources.
    u2022 Xcelsius Engage Server enables users to create models, connect them to multiple external data sources, and deploy them in a portal environment.
    u2022 Xcelsius Enterprise enables users to create models and deploy them in a BusinessObjects Enterprise or SAP NetWeaver BW environment

  • Change SAP BI Password from BO Client Tools / Infoview, SAP Authentication

    Hi,
    We are using SAP BI BO Integration Kit (BO XI 3.1, SAP BI 7.0) & able to use SAP BI Queries with WebI, Xcelsius etc.
    For a user group, we would be providing only Infoview access (using SAP Authentication). This means we would not want to install any BO Client Tools, SAP GUI or SAP Integration Kit Client, on user desktop.
    We are faced with a issue - How does the user change password from Infoview (this is an SAP BI User ID used to login from Infoview).
    Initial Password of SAP BI User cannot be changed from Infoview, since it doesnot prompt for changing the Initial Password.
    Any ideas how to handle this situation.
    regards,
    Rajesh K Sarin

    Hi Erwin,
    no. Also within BI4 you are not able to change your SAP password.
    The Workaroung of Ingo is very suitable using SAP GUI for HTML.

  • Client tools not  authenticating via Windows AD after upgrade to SP4

    We recently upgraded our test environment to SP4 to correct a problem we were having with Windows AD authentication from InfoView.  The upgrade to SP4 and JDK 1.5 solved our InfoView problem, but our client tools (Designer, Desk, Crystal Reports) can no longer login to our test environment using Windows AD authentication.
    The error message we get when trying to connect to the SP4 instance using Designer or Deski  is as follows:
    [repo_proxy 13] SessionFacade::openSessionLogon with user info has failed(Internal error.(hr=#0x80042a01)
    Enterprise authentication continues to work as normal.  My first thought was that my client tools are at the SP2 level and they are trying to connect to an SP4 instance.  Therefore, I need to upgrade the client tools to the SP4 level as well in order to get Windows AD authentication to work.  Is this correct, and if so what is the proper way to upgrade the client tools to SP4? 
    On the SAP download site you can download the SP4 Full install, but when you run it says to uninstall the existing version first which I haven't tried yet.  Does the SP4 full install give the option to do a client install versus a server install like previous SP2 install?

    While we always recommend matching versions I have rarely seen a problem with client tools and AD using different versions. I think you may have a different issue.
    If your clients were installed from a deski/designer ONLY install then you can use a client version of SP4 that is much smaller. There should also be a server version that can be installed on top of deski/designer+ client tools (this should not require an uninstall). Finally there is an integrated build which includes the full XIR2 product with SP4 built in(it sounds like you downloaded this).
    If SP4 does not resolve I'd suggest opening a message with support and packet scanning the client with netmon or wireshark.
    What's the error you get with crystal using AD? There was a known issue on SP3 client patch that made all clients fail with AD/LDAP.

    Tim

  • OBI SE 1 Administration Tool as a client tool to another OBI SE1 instance

    Our client has installed the OBI SE 1 on a "server" machine with no hassles. They then installed OBI SE 1 again on a different "client machine", in order to use, only the Administration Tool as a client tool to the other OBI SE 1 Server instance.
    They changed the Oracle BI ODBC connectivity to point to the other machine but when they try to use the Administration Tool they get the following message:
    [nQSError: 37001]Could not connect to the Oracle BI Server instance.
    They then tested the ODBC Client tool to test connectivity and they can access the OBI Server instance in question.
    I know that with the SE 1 installation there are no separate installs for client and server components, so my question is: can they do this or in the SE 1 the Administration tool must reside on the same machine as the Oracle BI Server??
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sergio

    Did they use the "Oracle BI Server" ODBC type?
    Are they able to successfully ping the remote machine?
    There is also a possiblity that they did not fully configure the connection to the Remote Repository. There are 3 steps to the wizard.
    The Admin tool is the same admin tool that comes with BI EE (but at a lower release level than the current BI EE, so do not try to just install that client, it will adjust the Repositoy upward and then it will be incompatible with BI SE One). I have connected to many remote repositories without any problem.
    Can you post the full log from C:\OracleBI\server\Log\NQSAdminTool.log
    Thanks

  • How to install SBOP BI 4.0 client tools

    Hello Everyone
    We have installed BO server and need to install the client tools on local desktop. Could anyone please guide me towards installing SBOP BI 4.0 Client Tools. I have downloaded the following tools
    1.     SAP CRYSTAL REPORTS FOR ENTERPRISE 4.0 SP02 WINDOWS (32B)
    2.     SBOP BI PLATFORM 4.0 SP02 CLIENT TOOLS WINDOWS (32B)
    3.     SBOP BI PLATFORM 4.0 SP02 LIVE OFFICE WINDOWS (32B)
    4.     SBOP BI Platform 4.0 - Temporary Keys       
    Do i need any more tools to download for clients. Is there a specific procedure in installing these components.
    Kindly guide.
    Thanks and Regards
    Ahmed

    Hi,
    there was a special installation order during XI 3.1 i`m not quite sure if there is one in BI4. To be sure i would recommend the following order:
    BI4 Clients
    BI4 Live Office
    CR for Ent
    The Installation process is pretty straight forward like installing an Office Package. So just only "Next" -> "Next" -> "Finish" and so on.
    You can find the official Installation guides under help.sap.com
    Regards

  • Failure to install BO 4.1 Client Tools on Windows XP

    Hi everyone,
    I have a question I have installed the BI platform on a Linux platform. But we would like to use the clients on Windows.
    We are using a VM with following Windows Version and Config:
    and I am getting following Error Message:
    --> #Failure_Reason# #prereq.WindowsVersionPreReqNotOKText#
    Any Idea what I am doing wrong?
    Thanks, Bhagat

    Thanks everyone.
    Yes thats what I have seen too. I thought I´ll give it a try as the Installer guide was only referring to 32 Bit and not the Windows Version.
    I have installed BI Platform 4.1 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4, is it possible for the meantime to install prior versions of client tools (e.g. BI 4.0) on WinXP? Next year we will get new notebooks with Windows 7 and the problem could be solved.
    Nevertheless don´t you see any opportunity to do some testings with WinXP?
    Thanks for your inputs really helpful this forum!

  • Installing Informatica powercenter 9.0.1HF2 client tools on Linux 64 bit

    Hi all,
    I'm building OBIA 7963 on Linux x86-64but server.
    do we have Informatica powercenter client tools installables for Linux 64bit? if not please guide me how to proceed for this.
    Thanks
    Ram

    Hi Ram
    please follow the below procedure to install the informatica in LINUX
    PowerCenter - Installation and Configuration (9.0.1 for OEL Linux 64Bit)
    This article talk about the installation of PowerCenter from Informatica on:
    •     Oracle Entreprise Linux 64 bit version 5 Update 5
    •     Oracle Database 11gR2
    After you complete the installation and configuration process, you have to log in to the Administrator tool to create and configure the following services:
    •     PowerCenter Repository Service
    •     PowerCenter Integration Service
    Oracle Database
    parameter
    Set the open_cursors parameter to 1000
    SQL> SHOW parameter open_cursor;
    NAME TYPE VALUE
    open_cursors integer 300
    SQL> ALTER system SET open_cursors=1000;
    System altered.
    SQL> ALTER system SET open_cursors=1000 SCOPE=BOTH;
    System altered.
    SQL> SHOW parameter open_cursors;
    NAME TYPE VALUE
    open_cursors integer 1000
    Repository Account
    At least two database user accounts are required to host this repository :
    •     POW_REP for the repository Database
    •     POW_DOM from the domain Configuration Database
    with the CONNECT, RESOURCE, and CREATE VIEW privileges.
    For Oracle, you must perform the following instruction :
    CREATE USER POW_REP IDENTIFIED BY POW_REP
    DEFAULT tablespace users
    TEMPORARY tablespace temp
    quota unlimited ON users;
    GRANT CONNECT, resource, CREATE VIEW TO POW_REP;
    CREATE USER POW_DOM IDENTIFIED BY POW_DOM
    DEFAULT tablespace users
    TEMPORARY tablespace temp
    quota unlimited ON users;
    GRANT CONNECT, resource, CREATE VIEW, SELECT ANY dictionary TO POW_DOM;
    The grant “select dictionary privilege” to the user POW_DOM is only needed to verify the parameter Open_Cursor during the prerequisite check.
    Repository Tablespace
    Set the storage size for the tablespace to a small number to prevent the repository from using an excessive amount of space.
    Also verify that the default tablespace for the user that owns the repository tables is set to a small size. The following example shows how to set the recommended storage parameter for a tablespace named POWERCENTER_DAC.
    ALTER TABLESPACE "POWERCENTER_DAC" DEFAULT STORAGE ( INITIAL 10K NEXT 10K MAXEXTENTS UNLIMITED
    PCTINCREASE 50 );
    Operating System
    Login as root
    Processor
    Verify that the process match the software (x86_64)
    [root@di-obia-01 ~]# uname -p
    x86_64
    [root@di-obia-01 ~]# uname -orv
    2.6.18-194.el5 #1 SMP Mon Mar 29 22:10:29 EDT 2010 GNU/Linux
    Temporary Disk Space Requirements
    The installer writes temporary files to the hard disk. When the installation completes, the installer deletes the temporary files and releases the disk space.
    Installer UNIX      1 GB
    Informatica Services UNIX      2 GB
    Verification of the temporary space with the df commando: Linux - disk free command (df)
    [root@di-obia-01 ~]# df -h /tmp
    Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
    /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
    77G 16G 58G 22% /
    User Account
    On UNIX, create a user account specifically to run the Informatica daemon.
    [root@di-obia-01 ~]# /usr/sbin/useradd powercenter
    [root@di-obia-01 ~]# id powercenter
    uid=502(powercenter) gid=506(powercenter) groups=506(powercenter)
    [root@di-obia-01 ~]# passwd powercenter
    Changing password for user powercenter.
    New UNIX password:
    BAD PASSWORD: it is WAY too short
    Retype new UNIX password:
    passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
    Port
    Verify that the port numbers are available on the machines where you install Informatica Services.
    [root@di-obia-01 ~]# netstat -tulpn|grep 6005
    The installer validates the port numbers that you specify to ensure that there will be no port conflicts in the domain.
    Environment Variables
    Use LANG and LC_ALL to set the UNIX code page for the installer.
    File Descriptor
    Informatica service processes can use a large number of files. Set the Linux - File Descriptor limit per process to 3000 or higher.
    In the file /etc/security/limits.conf, add this line:
    # PowerCenter
    powercenter hard nofile 3001
    powercenter soft nofile 2500
    And verify with the ulimit function logged as the powercenter system user account:
    [powercenter@di-obia-01 ~]$ ulimit -Hn
    3001
    Note:The limit is set to 3001 to prevent an error with the value 300 during the prerequisites check
    Installation directory and Permission
    As root, create the installation base directory:
    mkdir -p /powercenter/9.0.1
    chown -R powercenter:powercenter /powercenter
    chown -R powercenter:powercenter /powercenter/9.0.1
    chmod -R 775 /powercenter
    chmod -R 775 /powercenter/9.0.1
    As the installer (powercenter), copy the file to a tmp directory, unzip and untar it:
    [powercenter@di-obia-01 powercenter901]$ unzip V26109-01.zip
    Archive: V26109-01.zip
    inflating: 901HF2_Server_Installer_linux-x64.tar
    [powercenter@di-obia-01 powercenter901]$ tar -xf 901HF2_Server_Installer_linux-x64.tar
    Change the permission of the file install.sh to execute
    chmod -R 744 /tmp/powercenter901/install.sh
    Server
    Pre-Installation System Check
    To verify whether a machine meets the system requirements for an Informatica installation, run the Pre-Installation System Check Tool (i9Pi) before you start the installation process.
    You can find the i9Pi tool in the following directory: <InstallerExtractDirectory>/i9Pi
    [powercenter@di-obia-01 i9Pi]$ ./i9Pi.bin

  • Https call from SAP SOAP client tool

    Hi,
    in order to call a webservice via https using the SAP SOAP client tool, I've done the following:
    1. The Client cert field filled with my personal certificate from IE (pcert.pfx)
    2. The Trust store field left as it was (cacerts file of the jre).
    When calling the service I am getting
    javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: No trusted certificate found
    Very likely this is caused by setting 2.
    Could anybody advise how to get an X.509 certificate of trusted root CAs? Any chance to export from IE or would one have to get that from a CA? File types required are ppfx or p12, which is strange since these contain private keys.
    Much appreciated.
    Rene Funke

    Hi Rene,
    You need to include the full certificate chain in the p12 file. i.e. private cert and root CA cert.  IE will not export the full certificate path with the private certificate unless it was imported into IE with this flag set. You could use Firefox to generate the pks12 file. It will include the full certificate path.
    This private certificate (p12 file) should then be added to the truststore in XI.
    Also, .p12 (pkcs#12) file format defines a file format commonly used to store private keys with accompanying public key certificates - not just private keys.
    Hope this helps.

  • Edit .app file in excel and then open it in client tool?

    Dear Gurus,
    I am very new to HFM and would like to know what practice a HFM consultant will use in editing the metadata.
    My boss recommend me to edit metadata( .app file) in excel and save it into a format that can be read and opened by client tool.
    However, I find no way to achieve this.
    How can i edit metadata in excel and then open it in HFM client tool?

    Good morning,
    I think the best way to do it it's working with macros. You can work with an Excel file and then, convert it to the .txt format by using macros. A .txt is more suitable to be later worked as .app.
    However, you can also do it by using Copy/Paste.
    1. Open the .app in a Note Pad, so you can work with .txt file.
    2. Copy the .txt data in the Excel file.
    3. Then, it's just working with Data > Text to Columns to format the file. Then, you can work in Excel.
    Then, you will have to put the Excel file in a .txt, so you will have to follow the data files requirements. You still can do this manually, but you will have to pay attention to the format (FILE_FORMAT=11.1.2, !VERSION=11.1.3609, !CUSTOM_ORDER=Custom1;Custom2;Custom3;Custom4, !APPLICATION_SETTINGS, !CURRENCIES, etc., as it is the Admin Guide). It will also depend on the HFM version you're working with, specially when working with customs.
    I received a good document about a couple of months ago that can be helpful, so if you send me an email address, I'll forward it.
    Regards,

  • Management and maintanence of 2008r2 developments with 2012 client tools

    Hi eb
    I need to manage and maintane sql server 2008r2 developments like databases,ssis packages,ssrs reports,ssas native cubes
    and at the same time start developping in 2012 tools for 2012 servers with thier own version of client tools.
    Questions:
    Can 2008r2 and 2012 client tools co-exist on the same development machine?
    Are there any known issues with development of any of the sql server 2008r2 components after instalation of the 2012 client components?
    I guess it is not possible to uninstall the 2008r2 client tools alltogther because managing 2008r2 developments from within 2012 client tools would automatically upgrade them to 2012 version (as was the case with the 2005-2008 versions before)?
    Last and not list do 2012 client tools require windows 7 OS?
    TIA for your attention
    Rea

    >>>Can 2008r2 and 2012 client tools co-exist on the same development machine?
    Yes, they can , but you can develop SSIS 2012  to work against SS2008R2
