Microsoft Sql server data-mining add-on for excel 2013:

In browsing the models using excel data-mining add-on the browsing query recognized that the query times out after 60 seconds. The question is how we can increase the query time-out
time for data-mining add-on?

Perhaps you are meaning the timeout settings for your Analysis Server -- under Properties, General, DatabaseConnectionPoolConnectTimeout defaults to 60. Though I doubt that browsing any model should take 60 seconds. Try browsing the model
from Management Studio and seeing if you also need a lot of time.

Error installing SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013

Hi
I am trying to install SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 and am getting the following error
This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package.
I am running
Windows 8.1 x64
SQL Server 2014 Developer Edition x64
Visual Studio 2013 Professional
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Biztalk Developer

Could you please check if Windows Installer service is running and is in automatic startup mode.
The other thing is, if you’re running an x64-based SQL instance (64-bit), make sure to select “New Instance” on the Installation Type page, and NOT “Add features to an existing instance”.

SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSDT BI) and SSIS on SQL Server 2012

This great blog entry titled
SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSDT BI), link below, highlights the lack of support for SSIS projects using SQL Server 2012, VS 2013 and SSDT BI for VS 2013. I see there is a new version
on SSDT BI for VS 2013 (12.0.2430.0, File Name: SSDTBI_x86_ENU.exe, Date Published: 10/27/2014) link below.
Does this version support SSIS projects using SQL Server 2012 using VS 2013 and SSDT BI for VS 2013?

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42313

Hi cjrinpdx,
According to the picture, it seems that we can use SSIS 2012 support is not included in SSDT-BI for VS 2013. And based on the previous versions, SSIS always different from SSRS, SSAS.
SSDT-BI for Visual Studio 2012 supports versions of SQL Server as follows:
SSAS project can target SQL 2012 or lower
SSRS project can target SQL 2012 or lower
SSIS project can target only SQL 2012
The following blog is for your reference:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/dataplatforminsider/archive/2013/11/13/microsoft-sql-server-data-tools-update.aspx
Since I have no environment to test this at this moment,
I recommend you that submit the feedback at

Thank you for your understanding.

Master Data Services Add-in for Excel Issue

I am trying to configure MDS in the Production server. I am running into isssues.
(I was able to do the whole process successfuly in my local system - Versions are same in the local and server - Only difference is local machine is windows 7 server is Windows 2008 R2)
I have installed SQL server 2012 Enterprise Version SP1. I am able to browse the MDS URL. User has got full permissions. When I try to access the MDS via Excel I get the below error.
Can any one help me please I have spent days on this withou any joy.
Error message
TITLE: Master Data Services Add-in for Excel
An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to
http://MYIPADDRESS/mds/service/service.svc/bhb. This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See
server logs for more details.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive. (System)
Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. (System)
An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host (System)
BUTTONS:
OK
Bn

I have finally found a solution for this problem! Every time I opened Excel (unless I ran as administrator) I would have to activate the MDS add-in; this was time-consuming and annoying. It seems like there was no solution posted online anywhere! Well
after much aggravation, I have finally found a solution:
Fixing the Microsoft MDS Excel Add-In so it Stays Enabled
Press the Start button (Windows button)
In the search bar type “REGEDIT”
Open regedit.exe
A pop-up will ask permission for the Registry Editor to make changes to the computer, select Yes.
In the Registry Editor expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER
In the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder, expand in the following order: Software -> Microsoft -> Office -> Excel -> Addins
Select Microsoft.MasterDataServices.ExcelAddIn
Double-click on LoadBehavior in the right panel
In the Edit Value popup, change the value to
Press OK
Exit the Registry Editor
The excel add-in should now be active anytime you open Excel. If multiple errors occur while using the add-in, the Load Behavior may change back to 0. If that occurs simply follow these steps so the add-in will be active when Excel starts up.
I hope this helps some of you avoid the long hours of trying to find a solution to this silly problem.
Cheers!

Accessing Microsoft SQL Server Data by using Oracle Forms 9i

I am currently working on a Project with Oracle Forms 9i at front end and Microsoft
SQL server at back end. Could Any one please recommand me the STEPS to connect Oracle forms 9i application with SQL Server database.
Thanks in Advance...
M. Aamer Javaid
Oracle Certified DBA
[email protected]

1). Is this functionality be added to Forms 10g or later products or it is obsoleted.
There are no plans to add OCA functionality.
2). Steps to connect Forms 9i natively by using Java Importer.
You will need to write some Java to connect to your source, perform the operations you want to do, and return that data to Forms. Doing this, though, means that you may lose the transaction management functionality that Forms provides for you.
I cannot tell you what Java to write. It depends on your source and what you want to achieve. As for how to use the Java Importer, this is in the Forms documentation and there are papers on the Forms page on OTN.
3). Any third party product that can conenct the both products natively.
I don't know of any.
Regards,
Robin.

SQL Server Reporting Services Add-In for SharePoint not installing properly

Environment: Windows Server 2008R2, SQL Server 2012, SharePoint 2013 Enterprise
When I run the install for SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint it SHOULD install to c:\program files\common files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14 AND 15. Specifically it should drop a mess of ASPx pages for admin to the \templates\Admin\ReportServer
folder. In this environment it only pushes them to the 14 folder and not the 15. Any ideas on why this would happen? I have not ever seen this before and it is hosing the install completely.

Hi Gouranga,
According to your description, when you install the SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint 2013, you find the files are installed into the folder for sharepoint 2010(..../14). Right?
In Reporting Services, Not all features are supported in all combinations of report server, Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint, and SharePoint Products. Please see the linke below:
Supported Combinations of SharePoint and Reporting Services Server and Add-in (SQL Server 2012)
As you can see in the link, the SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in is only for Sharepoint 2010. This the reason why it's installed into the file for sharepoint 2010.
Reference:
Where to find the Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint Products (SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013)
Install or Uninstall the Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Association rule in SQL Server Data Mining

I have been working on a problem on association rules in SQL Server Data Tools (Visual Studio 2008) for quite a while but have not yet been able to figure out the solution.
The problem is: I have a table named Sales_history in my SQL database. This table has following columns: CustomerID, ItemID, Month (from May2012 to April 2013), QtyShipped. I am looking to find association between Items and i want to provide recommendation
to the Customer (In this case CustomerID) based on their purchases.
Note: there are around 630 customers and about 34000 products in my table.
My approach:
I marked History_Table as both Key and nested. And in the Key, i checked CustomerID as input and Key whereas in nested, i checked ItemId as Key, input and Predict.
When i run the model, i get a solution but i am not sure if i am configuring it right. Also i am not sure how i can write prediction join query to generate Item recommendations . I am really struggling with
this problem, eagerly waiting for the reply. Thank you.

Hi Tatyana,
Thank you so much for your reply. I have now been able to create the data mining model using association rule and by writing a DMX query, i am able to generate the item recommendations to be given to customers for items they have purchased. However, i have
noticed one thing that in the DMX query, it gives the same item recommendation for any item i put inside the query.
Also, if i put any item in the DMX query from the generated list of recommended items, the output of that query also shows the item that is inputted inside the query.
Here is the query, that i am writing to generate item recommendations
SELECT predictassociation (CrossSellingModelV3.[Ztb Customer Item v3],INCLUDE_STATISTICS,5)
FROM CrossSellingModelV3
NATURAL PREDICTION JOIN
(SELECT
(SELECT '17IS56126' as m )
AS Ms)
AS t
What can be the possible reason behind this? Is this something related to the kind of data i have? In my data, there are 632 distinct customers and 34000 distinct products.
If i execute this query in management studio.
select customer_CD, COUNT(Item_CD) from ztb_Sales_History
group by customer_CD
order by 2 desc
the output shows that there are some customers who have bought just 1 item and also there are customers who have bought 2400 items. i mean the range is very high.

Writing data to Microsoft SQL Server/Database

Hi All
I have written a program in LV ver 6.1 that carries out various functional tests and at each test gathers 3 data values. At the moment the data is gathered at each stage of the test and written in a concatenated string to a file that was opened at the start of the test routine. What I need to do is output the data such that it is compatable with SQL server (presumably in some form of table?). I have read previous posts but they recommed the ni database toolkit, which I do not have. Should I be using the XML vi to take the string of data or use the active x vi? I have read in other posts that you can manage without the ni database toolkit but would need to program a database structure. My knowledge of database development is nil and I wondered if there was a vi that could be used that would create tables that could be directly interpreted by MS SQL?
Labview Version 8.5
Labview Version 8.6
Labview Version 2013

I'm having trouble understanding exactly what you're doing, but I will try to explain a few things:
Ideally code written for database connectivity should not be included in my Labview code or problems could occur if my client changed his servers , database structure etc.
The code can be yours. If you do write it, just make sure to create subVIs, so that if the DB structure does change (something which is rare), you will only need to change the code inside the subVIs.
Microsoft SQL server is an intermediate piece of software that allows my Labview code to access the database without actually 'seeing' it. With my client using SQL server they can modify the way my Labview code sends data to their database if they decide to change their servers, database structure etc.
SQL Server is the DB management system. It holds all the tables, queries, etc. and is responsible for actually managing the DB itself.
What Dennis suggested was that the DB guy will write something known as a "stored procedure" and that you will call it.
In such a case, if the DB guy wanted to change something, he could just change the stored procedure and (if the change does not affect the interface), you do not have to change or rebuild your program. This is equivalent to the subVIs I described earlier, except in this case, the function is inside the DB itself.
Another version of this is creating a table with SQL commands and assigning a name for each command. You load the SQL command from the table by name and execute it. This allows for changing the SQL command inside the DB without changing your application.
ADO connectivity is used and the connection string is best located in the windows registry file. Presumably this option would give my client the most flexiblity? Is this the same thing as the .udl file?
Basically, the scheme is like this:
DB <-> DBMS <-> ODBC <-> ADO <-> Your Application
This may not be perfectly accurate, but the concept is basically this - in Windows, you talk to ANY database from ANY program using the same interface - you call ADO functions which will be responsible for getting to the DB you want and you use SQL to issue the commands, since the basic SQL commands are supported by all DBs.
To identify the DB, you use a connection string. This connection string can have all the data in it or it can point to an existing file (UDL or DSN) which holds the data pointing to the DB. Dennis suggested that when developing on your machine, you will use a file pointing to a local DB, but when deploying you will use a file of the same name which will point to the real DB. Your program will always go to the file and from there it will know which DB to go to.
The only time when this should really matter to the client is during configuration (for example, if the DB was moved to a different machine). All the client needs to do is edit the UDL file to point at the new location of the DB.
Again, the advantage of all this is that this is not part of your code and is done by programs which are built to handle it.
It is more efficient to use the Parameterized database technique such as the example given in the 'logging example parameterized'
I don't know how much this efficiency will be relevant in the speeds you need.
In any case, as I said, my own preference is to create functional subVIs - for example, a VI which will accept data in my format and will be responsible internally for converting that data and putting it into the necessary tables.
I have sent my client an outline of the data to be saved on their database, which at the moment comprises of 3 tables, the first has things like operators name, date, time, serial number etc ( 7 records, 3 fields) the second table has test reference (11 tests in total) with items such as fuel flow, fuel temp etc (11 records, 5 fields), Last table has 1 record and 6 fields. Unlike the Labview example each stage of the test can take up to 4 minutes to complete and if successfull the program moves on to the next stage of the test, saving the test results and if a PASS or FAIL occurred. The question I have is would it more efficient to save the results at the end of all of the tests or shold I connect to their database and save results as the tests progress?
I can't say I understand this, but my suggestion would be to let the client decide in what format they want the data, since they're the ones who want it. Work with the DB guy to decide exactly what data you need to put into the DB and where and then you can decide exactly which functions you need. As said, you might want to let the DB guy write some stored procedures which you can use to input the data.
Unless it's a large amount of data, writing to a DB is usually fairly quick (under a second). If it is relevant, my suggestion would be to write after each phase.
In any case, I suggest you go through some real DB tutorials (not LV related) and see if you can wrap your head about it. I know I don't particularly like designing DBs (or PID) any more than you do, but it's a skill worth having, and in some places, a DB makes things easy and practical.
Try to take over the world!

Microsoft Sql Server data source ???

I'm trying to use the Microsoft Sql Server 2000 jdbc driver (without any success) in developing a small jsp app: specifically, I'm trying to set connection in web.xml as follows
<context-param>
<param-name>
javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.sql.dataSource
</param-name>
<param-value>
??? What the heck is the value for Microsoft SQL Server 2000 ???
</param-value>
</context-param>
(basically, this code is swiped from Ch. 12 of Bergsten's book, Java Server Pages - his example uses jdbc-odbc bridge driver).

you need to Specify that the physical table object is a stored procedure. When you select this option, you type the stored procedure in the text box. Requests for this table will call the stored procedure.
For stored procedures that are database specific, select the Use database specific SQL check box. At run time, if a stored procedure has been defined, the stored procedure will be executed.
In the table properties, you need to create columns manually.

Which version of Microsoft SQL Server 2012 OLE DB Provider for DB2 needed?

Hello, first time posting.....
I am developing an SSIS package that needs to connect to DB2 tables. My environment does not have the necessary providers installed (SQL Server 2012 OLE DB Provider for DB2).
I am running SSIS on a Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard server, w/ SQL Server 2012 R2 installed.
I noticed OLEDB Provider for DB2 v4.0 for SQL Server 2012 does not support Windows Server 2008 R2.
Also, there appears to be a version 5 OLEDB Provider for DB2, bundled with SQL Server 2014 Feature Pack, but I am not running SQL 2014.
Could someone please tell me which version I need to install for Windows Server 2012 R2, running SQL Server 2012 R2?
Thanks!

Also, there appears to be a version 5 OLEDB Provider for DB2, bundled with SQL Server 2014 Feature Pack, but I am not running SQL 2014.
The DB2 OleDB Provider is completly independend of the used SQL Server/SSIS Version; you can use that one.

Essbase Excel Add-in for Excel 2013

Hi There,
I recently upgrade from Excel 2010 to 2013, it seems Essbase Excel Add-in (1.1.2.2) has some issue with Excel 2013, does anybody experience this too, any advice on this?
Thanks

The excel add-in is not certified to work with Excel 2013 and a matter of fact, the only version of Smart View certified with it is 11.1.2..5 which just came out. The Essbase Add-in has not been updated in a shile and has been susetted by Oracle so there will be no new versions of it

Hello,
I don't have administrator rights on my computer, and I would like to know if there is a way to install the Power Map add-in without it, e.g. via an xlam file in the add-ins menu, instead of trying to launch the exe file that you can download here microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38395
Many thanks for your help!

I don't think so.

MDS Add-in for Excel 2013 Publish Button stops working

We have users that are making changes in Entities and every 10-15 minutes they publish their changes. On occasion (pretty regularly) after they make their changes and click the publish button nothing happens. Its like the particular sheet just thinks there
are no changes to publish. They are doing some Excel filtering and copying by entering one cell and clicking lower right corner and dragging down.
They can refresh and still can't publish. They have to bring up the data on another sheet and then they can make the same changes they were trying to publish and it will publish in the new sheet. Its like the original sheet just thinks there are no changes
pending. There is no communication to MDS and nothing in windows or MDS error log.
This is a very poor user experience and is souring the users on the tool altogether.

can anyone pls help how to set the db offline. currently i stopped the sql server services from services.msc and started the sql server agent.
should i stop both services for moving from one drive to another?
note: I tried teh below solution but this didint work:
ALTER DATABASE <DBName> SET OFFLINE WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
Update:
now am getting the message :
Msg 15010, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_detach_db, Line 40

First you should have checked the database mdf/ldf name and location by using the command
Use CMP_143
Go
Sp_helpfile
Looks like your database CMP_143 was successfully detached but mdf/ldf location or name was different that is why it did not get copied to target location.
Database is already detached that’s why db offline failed
Msg 15010, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_detach_db, Line 40
The database 'CMP_143' does not exist. Supply a valid database name. To see available databases, use sys.databases.
EXEC @RC = sp_attach_db @DBName, @DESTData, @DESTLog
Attached step is failing as there is no mdf file

Unable to open the physical file "D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\CMP_143.mdf". Operating system error 2: "2(The system cannot find the file specified.)"
Solution:
Search for the physical files(mdf/ldf) in the OS and copy to target location and the re-run sp_attach_db with right location and name of mdf/ldf.
