Multi-Source Universe - Swapping Connections a disaster-Connection can not be registered

Dear Experts,
1. What is the best way to swap connections with in an environment?
For example, in DEV environment I want to use another environment like integrated environment's DB?
I have to change all the table owners manually and if I have derived tables and custom LOVs, it's a significant maintenance and error prone.
2. If I migrate the universe to a UAT or PROD environment often I encounter, the connection can not be registered error
Please advise

Hi
If you have three DB servers (Dev,Test,Prod ) and three bo servers (Dev,Test,Prod ) you need to create three different connections in Dev.
IN THE DEV SERVER
1. Create connection (Dev Connection) in the Dev DB to connectDev DB to BO Dev and then develop the universe.
2. Create another connection (Test Connection) in the Dev DB to connect Test DB to Test BO Dev
3. Create another connection (Prod Connection) in the Dev DB to connect Prod DB to Prod BO Dev
Then while promoting to Test environment, you need to send universe along with connection, but in the connection you need to change the Dev DB connection to Test DB connection ((Test Connection) (Select the connection -> Click on change connection)
Then while promoting to Prod environment, you need to send universe along with connection, but in the connection you need to change to Prod DB connection (Prod Connection)
And once the universe and connection are promoted successfully come back to Dev and change the connection to Dev DB (Dev Connection)

Hi,
try with this.
Starting the Gateway Service on the Message Server resolved this issue.
There have also been reports of this issue when name resolution issues occur between the client and the Message Server machine. As a test, you can add the Message Server name and IP address to the Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts file.
Or check SAP note 1590518.

Hi Sreeni,
You can create a new APS in CMC containing the Data Federation Service with
-Xmx2g -> 8g (This is the suggested range)
Make sure you remove this service from the existing APS and then create a new one.
You could refer SAP KBA 1694041 - BI 4.x Consulting:- How to size the Adaptive Processing
Server (APS) which would assist you in sizing the APS.

Sql connection can not open why?

I use the following source code to connect sql database, but the connection can not open, can somebody help me? thanks.
SqlCeConnection con = new SqlCeConnection("Data Source="
+ System.IO.Path.Combine(System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location), "Sampledatabase.mdf"));
con.Open();
OR
SqlCeConnection con = new SqlCeConnection(@"Data Source=|DataDirectory|\Sampledatabase.mdf");
con.Open();

Hi Sunny,
Based on your code, your case related to how to connect to an MDF database file?
The keypoint is how to write the connectionstring.
Here is a sample,
con.ConnectionString = @"Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;
AttachDbFilename=c:\folder\SampleDatabase.mdf;
Integrated Security=True;
Connect Timeout=30;
User Instance=True";
From your second code with DataDirectory
Note the filepath should have |DataDirectory| which actually links to "current project directory\App_Data\" or "current project directory" and get the .mdf file.

Beep when AC adapter plug is connected - can not find on ThinkPad w530

In the opposite to some other users (say in this topic here) I always liked this cool feature of ThinkPad to informed the user with a happy loud beep sound, whether the status of power has really changed after the AC adapter was connected to the laptop. It saves me plenty of times from problems with empty battery and loosing my data at my previous ThinkPads.
So when I've got my new ThinkPad w530 it was one of the first things I've tried to configure to enable these sound notifications. But I am not able to find, how to do it The Manual of the Power Manager states very clearly when explaining Power Management Options, the following:
"Beep when power state changes
When this checkbox is selected, you hear beeps when the computer:
Enters standby mode.
Resumes operation from standby mode.
Enters hibernation mode.
Resumes operation after being in hibernation mode.
Is connected to or disconnected from the AC adapter.".
It seems the thinh I was looked for, but the problem is, that there is no such option at Power Manager Options tab. I've reviewed all other tabs/windows of the app as well, but can not find anything about beep sound.
Have I missed anything? Where this option might actually locate?
Thanks for any ideas!

Unfortunately it's not an option offered on the *30 systems' BIOS, it was removed. Please see the following thread;

Multi source universe in IDT

Hello,
We are trying to build a multisource universe based on salesforce. com and sql server databases. We have created a JDBC connection for salesforce.com and odbc connection for sql server. When trying to create a multisource universe the salesforce.com connection is greyed out. Multisource universe wroks fine when using sybase ODBC connection as well as sql server ODBC connection. It only fails with salesforce.com. We are able to create a standalone universe based on the salesforce.com connection using JDBC connectivity. Does IDT support multisource universe for salesforce.com?
Thanks,
Laxminarayana

HI Laxmi,
Just a reminder that SAP employees have an internal forum called BOPedia - please use it.
Please use Note 1561226 to help troubleshoot MSU. Youu2019ll need to use the DFAT to profile the workflow.
You probably need to unpack the JDBC .jar files into this server location (folder need to be manually created for each vendor): C:\Program Files\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\dataAccess\connectionServer\jdbc\drivers\jdbc
.... A similar problem was described here for Jaybird DB: https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/message/47421#47421

I'm getting 'an ssl error has occurred and secure connection can not be made' I have upgraded to the latest OX version, but no joy in downloading a wetransfer file

I have received a retransfer file and if I try to open it I get the error message detailed above.

Have used it before with no problems.
Times have changed.
Older versions of SSL has been found to have some problems that have been patched (several different times) with Apple Security Updates. Unless wetransfer has kept up and patched these vulnerabilities, you may not be able to establish a secure connection with them (due to their software being out-if-date).

When I started up Firefox after a 30 seconds de connection with my wifi disconnected. The connection can not starting also not when I had starting find problems in windows. I'm using windows 7 and firefox 7.0.

When I than starting IE the connection will starting en is oké.

You should actually be using Flash 10.3 (11.2 is insecure).[[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox#w_solution-2-downgrade-flash|Solution 2: Downgrade Flash]].
Also, is there a reason you are using Firefox ESR? It's mean for organizations, and doesn't include all the security and stability fixes that Firefox latest (15.0.1) has.

Ftp connection: "Can not find the catalog/path"

I have had a Webserver operating on my old IBook.
I had it opened through my firewall, and everything worked.
Now I try to connect to the same iBook, but with an IP-adress that comes from turning on
Internet sharing on the Ethernet port of my iMac. I try to connect in iWeb, ftp server test.
But the iMac I do things on, cannot find the catalog, it says. (At least the ftp login seems to work.)
I have things in the path /Library/Webserver/Documents, and started my 3rd
home page in the subdirectory iMe, which catalog I created inside the Documents folder.
Thankful for all tips!
Best Regards,
/Peter K, Sweden

As per usual, do not compond problems, mix them and then cry for help. And iWeb is not involved, yet.
Start at the beginning.
Set up your network and make it work. Period.
On the remote computer where you want to have access, and publish your website, enable Remote login.
Then test it and find out where you end up.
There you create a folder where you want to publish your pages.
Put a sampe html file in that folder.
In the /Library/Webserver/Documents folder on that remote computer you create a symlink to that folder.
Open your browser and type the URL to the file.
TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST
UNTIL IT WORKS.
If you do not understand it, search the interwebs or find a forum that deals with it.
Then, when it works, and only then, you may open iWeb.
To publish to that remote folder you created earlier, choose this setting :
The directory path is determined earlier when you tested the connection.
You can also use filesharing.
Enable it on the remote computer and then mount the remote disk on your desktop.
Choose publish to folder in iWeb.
iWeb doesn't care.

After losing Wifi connection, can not find a network

Since IO5 when I loose a wifi connection (out of range or whatever), the phone (4G) will no longer connect. In the Wifi setting, there are no wifi networks listed anymore, none appear, though there are 4 normally.
Turning off the Wifi and on again does not solve the problem. The only thing that works is turning off the iPhone and then on again.
Any suggestions??

Call your network provider.

I am in a disaster..can not restore memory crd thr...

Hi,
Dear I back up my mobile thru th pc suite..and i update the phone to newer version..
when I restored my files back i found that the memory card content did not restored at all while i was backing it up?
how can i restore my memory card content back?
i will appreciate your help.

In fact, the memory card has nothing to do with the update. Nothing is changed on the card. Maybe the card is corrupted. Reformat the card in the E71. Reset the phone. Dial *#7370# 12345 reformat, lose all data. restore the backup you made earlier without the settings.

Does BO 4.1 enable universe to connect to multiple database?

Using BO 3.1, we can only connect an universe to single database. However, with BO 4.1 will it be possible to connect a single universe to multiple database?

Vinay, You can connect Universe to multiple databases using IDT (Information Design Tool). Find the below link for reference.

Bug (?) with Corporate Connectivity is (not) Working check

Noticed something odd. In situations where:
Direct Access client is offsite
their Internet access is via WiFi
they first have to enter their access credentials through a web-based captive portal before access is granted
then the Corporate Connectivity Check process malfunctions. Have seen cases where, after accessing the captive portal and being authenticated, Internet access works on the client. Direct Access then connects successfully. This is confirmed
on the server console, showing the client connected and the user credentials used. The client is able to access internal resources just fine (e.g. network drives on file servers).
But on the client itself, it still says Corporate Connectivity is Not Working. The WiFi icon is showing an exclamation mark. My belief is that this is caused by the client's inability to access Microsoft NCSI servers in a timely fashion.
So it looks like the corporate connectivity checks are dependent on Microsoft NCSI checks.
Can someone at Microsoft please look into this, as it is confusing our users (not to mention us guys in IT who have only just discovered this odd behaviour!).

Hi Steven !
Thanks a lot for your guidance !
After I followed the steps, I found that the time out occurs when trying to resolve the internal domain name.
The Windows Firewall was enabled on all profiles ( active on the public )
There were no IPsec sessions established in the Security associations tab, so I enabled the audit policy of the IPsec as per your instructions.
There is reoccurring error in the Security log :
Date:          10/8/2014 10:08:49 AM
Event ID:      4653

As far as I understand - the connection can not be established due to certificate error, which in my case is strange since my DA configuration is set to not use computer certificates, only Kerberos.
I will keep digging but any additional tip/advice will be appreciated!
Thanks again, Steven!
P.S. Just noticed that the Event ID 4653 produce two types of "Failure Reason" - apart from "Negotiation timed out" I also get "No policy configured"
