Logical Aggregate Column (count(distinct)) Does Not Group for SQL Server DB

When utilizing the count(distinct column_name) aggregate function within a Logical Fact source in the Business Model and Mapping layer in the RPD file the output in BI Answers is not grouping correctly for SQL Server 2008 database sources only. All Oracle database sources represent the same aggregate column correctly within BI Answers.
I am using OBIEE version 10.1.3.3.3
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Kyle

I thought that I would update my current findings with this issue. If you display the report in BI Answers as a Pivot Table view the aggregate column displays properly, it does not in a Table or Compound Layout view for some reason. I am still working with Oracle Support on this.

SQL Server Usage Summary page, the count of user/device: does not show for SQL Server 2008

Does MAP tool capture User Summary (count of users, their details) for SQL Server 2008?
At my end, its working for SQL Server 2012 but not showing User Summary for SQL Server 2008..
Does the User Summary only works for SQL Server 2008 Enterprise edition as one of the thread points out?

This is from the
Wiki article:
SQL Server 2008 Enterprise and Datacenter Editions introduced audit event configuration for Windows security logging, which enabled SQL Server 2008 to log logon events to the Windows Security log. The table below shows which versions and editions have the Audit
feature that is needed to record the logon events. MAP cannot obtain user and device access information for any other editions or any older versions of SQL Server.

Add does not run with sql server 2008

Hi all,
My add on in the development environment does not run with SQL SERVER 2008. It ran well with SQL Server 2005 and sap b1 2207 B.
On executing the project file system throws an error "YOU ARE NOT CONNECTED TO THE COMPANY"
we are trying this scenario on a test machine where SAP B1 2007B with temporary license for one month and SQL server 2008
is installed.
Help needed.
Thanking you
Pradnya

Hi Use this
Dim i as integer
i=oCompany.Connect()
if i<> 0 Then
msgbox(ocompany.GetLastErrorDescription ())
end if
the you will get the error description also use try catch wherever necessary
Alternatively you can use
Dim SboGuiApi As SAPbouiCOM.SboGuiApi
Dim sConnectionString As String
Set SboGuiApi = New SAPbouiCOM.SboGuiApi
sConnectionString = Command
SboGuiApi.Connect sConnectionString
Set SBO_Application = SboGuiApi.GetApplication()
Set ocompany = New SAPbobsCOM.Company 'initialate DI company object
ocompany = SBO_Application.Company.GetDICompany

Arc is not implemented for SQL Server 2005 physical model

I added the Arc in my relational model, which is supposed to provide that references are mutually exclusive (so only one refering column can be not null). However there is not any implementation for this in the SQL Server 2005 physical model. The SQL code generated simply ignores the Arc and allows any values for the columns covered by Arc. If we check Oracle physical model. then it generates some trigger, which controls how many columns have values assigned - this is actually an implementation of Arc. But there is nothing of this kind for SQL Server model...
By the way, implementing this Arc by trigger looks like to heavy approach. The very simple table level check constraint will do the same job. But this is a different subject though.

Tables are deleted but database size does not change in sql server 2008r2

Hi All,
20GB Tables are deleted in my database but database size does not change and disk size showing same size.

Hi ,
I have ran the Disk usage by Top Tables report and Identified couple of tables with unwanted data for last 5 years. I have deleted the data for the first 3 years and then ran the Disk usage by Top Tables report again. When I compared the report before
and after the data deletion, I have noticed certain facts which is not matching with what I know or learned from experts like you. The following are the points where I am looking for clarification:
1.Reserved (KB) has been reduced. I was expecting the data Reserved (KB) will remain the same after the data deletion.
2. The Data(KB) and Indexes(KB) fields have been reduced as expected. The Unused(KB) field have been increased as expected.
I was expecting the total of Data(KB) and Indexes(KB) field space gained will be equal to the Unused(KB) field gained after deleting the data. But that is not the case. When I deducted(subtracted) the difference in the Reserved(KB)(Difference before
and after data deletion) field from the Total of space gained from the data deletion is equal to the Unused(KB) gained field value.
I am not a SQL expert and not questioning but trying to understand whether we really gain space by deleting data from the tables. Also keen to get the concepts right, but my testing by deleting some records confused me.
Looking ahead to all your expert advice.
Thanks,
Vennayat

SCOM 2012 Installation does not show the SQL Server Instance for reporting services

I have an issue when I try to install SCOM 2012 with the Reporting Server feature, so in the step that I have to select a SQL Server Instance I cannot do that, because as you can see in the picture no one option appears.
In my scenario I have a DCSERVER, SQLSERVER2008 R2, SCCMSERVER 2012 and in other server I are trying to install SCOM 2012. I are trying to use the same SQLSERVER to SCOM 2012.
Should I do other procedure on SQL Server before to continue? I will apreciate someone could say me what I need to do to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Paul Mendoza.

Hi Paul
Can you confirm that SQL Reporting Services is installed on the server that you are doing the install.
For a lab environment where you have SCOM Management Server, Web Server on one server and SQL Server on another you need to:
- run setup on the SCOM Server and choose NOT to install reporting. The install here will create the OperationsManager database and OperationsManagerDW (reporting) database.
- run setup on the SQL Server where SQL Reporting Services is installed. Then choose to install reporting. You should then see the SQL Reporting Services instance on the above window which is blank in your screenshot.
Take note of the warning in that window - SCOM uses its own role based security within SQL Reporting Services and this can break other reporting. E.g. you can't install SCOM and SCSM reporting (SQL RS component) together.

Brwoser does not refresh for each server event if delta handling is on

I wrote a simple stateful BSP page. When I turn on delta handling(to remove flickering) on the page, page is refreshed only for every other server event. This page contains two table views and I use table view iterator for one of them. How can I force browser refresh for each server event? Browser is IE and version is 5.5.
This problem doesn't exist if turn off delta handling. But I want to stop flickering any how, since users are complaining.

Learning BSP is similar like driving a car. You first need to get a driver's license. So you study a bit, take a test and are ready to drive. Thereafter, flipping that deltaHandling checkbox is like getting into a big plane and trying to fly. It is unfortunately a quantum jump from using BSP to activating the DH system. Which also has a lot of very special constraints, etc.
This was a very special development we did for a big application group inhouse. The first version was good, but did not exactly meet all our expectations. So we redid a lot of the work/concepts. All of this is highly specialized and not documented.
What I could recommend is that you look at BSP application IT05. It should help a little. Otherwise, I am going to ask that you please open an OSS message (please reference this thread!). Then we can look at your application and show you what is to be done. But it is definitely not all moonshine and roses. Our standard answer is "do not use it" when people can not ride this bull. I will add it onto my weblog schedule for some future date.

Back arrow does not work with SQL Server Reporting Services Reports. When one pages back from a sub report the back action appears to skip moving to the previous step. IE 8 works fine?

I have a SSRS report that has a parameter driven drop down list to select a catagory for a report to run a summary for the category in Report Manager. When the report runs there are links to a sub report with more detailed information about the category summary. Firefox runs everything correctly up to this point.
When I try to back arrow from the sub report Firefox skips the summary report page and reverts to the initial page where the sub category can be selected to run the summary report.
Can you help? IE8 works well with this but has severe spped issues with reports that contain multiple selection parameters. Firefox handles the multiple parameters very fast but has the page back issue.

Excel rendering not correctly for SQL SERVER 2012 (and reporting server)

hi
I have a tablix that has a category, subcategory and total items column. The total items are grouped into subcategories which are in turn grouped into categories. When using the wizard we explicitly indicate that the subtotals and totals should NOT be displayed.
When displayed in SSRS on IE and we expand/collapse all the categories this works fine, however when we export these to an excel file using the export button we notice that the subcategories total is displayed with an empty cell when we toggle all the subcategories
under one category.
It seems that it used to be a SSRS2008 r2 problem but is that still the case for 2012 and what can I do to fix this?
help would be much appreciated.
thanks

Hi eddy,
Based on my test, I can reproduce the same issue in SSRS 2012. When exporting to Microsoft EXCEL, excel will add an extra row for each group, if we use the “=Sun(fields!column.value)” in the details row, then the extra row will display the total of this
group, if we use the fields!column.value in the details row, then the extra row will display the first value of this group.
Please refer to the work around to fix the issue: add an extra row to the bottom of the tablix, outside of the group below. Then, set the border style with “None” value of these text box.

Database Mail not working with SQL Server Agent

I'm running SQL Server 2005 Standard edition 64 bit with SP2 on a 64 bit machine.
Database mail does not work with SQL Server Agent. When I configure SQL Server Agent to use database mail the test email button is greyed out and inactive therefore I cannot send emails using operators or for jub success failure etc.
I've read that there was supposed to be a fix for this with SP1 but I have SP2 and still receive the same problem. Please can somebody help as I do not wish to use SQL Mail as a work around due to this becomming redundant in future versions of SQL Server.
Kind Regards

The problems solved
steps:
1)we create a mail profile at at Managment->Database Mail ,of SQL Managment
2)we set this account as "default" at Managment->Database Mail -> Configure Database Mail -> Manage profile security
3)At tab "Alert System" of SQL Server Agent properties , we check the "Enable mail profile" , Mail System=Database Mail, Mail profile = "the profile we already create"
4)we create a new operator at "Operators" of sql agent, where at "notification options" -> "Email name" we put the mail where we want to sent the agent the mails at failured job
5)We go at a specific job, at tab "Notifications" ,we check the "email" check box and then we choose the operator we just create, at the text box next to check box.
I hope not to forget something
Thank You all for the help

note: BPEL keeps it's own "offline" copy of table and database items. A column that is marked not null in the database can be marked as nullable in this area. (if you kmow that a trigger is going to cater for this ..)
One workaround is to use a trigger to provide value rather than use the column default ..

Group Chat feature in Office Communications Server 2007 R2 does not work in Windows Server 2008 R2 domains

   Hello to all, there are two confliting articles about this topic:
   1-
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/upgrade-domain-controllers-to-windows-server-2008-r2(v=ws.10).aspx#BKMK_Whatsnew : this one says that it does not work "The Group Chat feature in Office Communications Server 2007 R2 does not work in Windows
Server 2008 R2 domains". This article was updated in 2013.
   2-
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee692314(office.13).aspx: this other article says that it will function "Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Group Chat will function in a Windows Server 2008 R2 forest". This article was updated in
2010 and was refered by the first one.
   What is the correct support position for Group Chat feature in Office Communications Server 2007 R2 and Windows Server 2008 R2 domains?
   Regards, EEOC.

Hi,
I notice the following sentence in the link below “Office Communications Server 2007 R2, Group Chat will not function in a Windows Server 2008 R2 forest or when Group Chat member servers are joined to a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain.
We know of an issue with changes in Windows 2008 R2 that requires a Group Chat Client and Group Chat Admin Tools hotfix. The Group Chat Client and Group Chat Admin Tools hotfixes are currently scheduled for mid-April 2010.”
http://blogs.technet.com/b/nexthop/archive/2010/11/06/supportability-for-office-communications-server-2007-r2-and-windows-server-2008-r2.aspx
So in my opinion, if you update to the latest version of Windows Server 2008 R2, OCS Server 2007 R2 and Group Chat Client, Group Chat Admin Tools to the latest version, it should work.
However, the best method for you is make a lab to test the problem firstly.

SELECT DISTINCT does not work - Another Problem!

Dear All
Previous Post
I just posted a thread, which has been answered by an expert. It's here:
SELECT DISTINCT does not work. Why?
My original problem was that the Query returned duplicate records, and SELECT DISTINCT did not work.
The solution was to change this select:
T0.[U_SupInv] AS 'Link'
... to this:
CAST(T0.[U_SupInv] as nvarchar(100)) AS 'Link'
The amended Query worked.
New Problem
I just discovered that resolving the problem created a new one.
The field U_SupInv (Link) is in fact a UDF.
I created it so that all Suppliers' Invoices could be Scanned to pdf files, and these pdf could be linked
to the respective AP Invoice.
Originally, when I clicked 'Link' in my Query results, the pdf scan pops up.
When the Query is amended by adding CAST, the link becomes dead.
Help
Could anyone tell me how I can make SELECT DISTINCT work, as well keeping the LINKS live?
The main purpose of my Query is to help users view the pdf scans by clicking on the links.
Thanks
Leon Lai
Here's my Original Query
SELECT
T0.[UpdateDate] AS 'Update Dt',
T0.[TaxDate] AS 'Doc Dt',
CASE T5.[TransType]
 WHEN '18' THEN 'PU ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(6), T0.[DocNum])
 WHEN '19' THEN 'PC ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(6), T0.[DocNum])
END 'SAP Ref.',
T1.[ImportLog] AS 'Ship #',
T0.[CardCode] + '' AS 'Supplier #',
T0.[CardName] AS 'Supplier Name',
T0.[DocTotal] AS 'Rs',
T1.[BlockNum] AS 'Reqn #',
T0.[DocNum] AS 'Doc No',
T0.[U_SupInv] AS 'Link'
FROM klship.[dbo].[OPCH] T0
INNER JOIN klship.[dbo].[PCH1] T1 ON T0.[DocEntry] = T1.[DocEntry]

T0.[UpdateDate] <= '[%3]' AND

Dear István Korös,
Thanks a lot for your answer.
I will test your suggestion tomorrow, as it's night and I am returning home now.
However, I do not think it will suit my requirements for the foll reasons:
- I worked hard to get rid of the need to enter anything in the @Scan2 field.
- This UDF was created solely as a text of instruction for my staff.
 Unfortunately I had to fill in something to make the Query work.
- The problem is that if the user forgets to click the drop-down arrow and leaves @Scan2
 blank, the query does not work.
- With the help of another expert, I succeeded in ignoring @Scan2 altogether.
- I posted only a simplified version of my Query on the forum, without the codes relating to eliminating the
need to enter something in @Scan2, so you may not be aware of my requirement.
- I hope you understand my reluctance. But I will try your suggestion nevertheless.
My Suggestion
I think using PCH1.VISORDER may be the solution.
If we select only those rows where visorder = 0, then
 - there will be no duplication
 - I need not use SELECT DISTINCT
 - All my LINKS to pdf files will be live because I need not use CAST
 - I may retain that part of my Query which permits ignoring @Scan2 altogether.
- A Dream!-
The problem is that I don't know how and where to place that VISORDER.
If you think I may be right, could you help me along that line?
Best Regards
Leon Lai
