My database not listed at SQL data source in Web Expression 4

Can anyone help me out?
Am not sure whether this is the correct place for my problem.
I set up SQL Server 2005. Created a database named "employee" and a table under it "emp_info"
I tried to connect it from Microsoft Web Expression 4 through SQL Data Source control. Well, the connection test is successful but the database i created is not shown in the drop down. However, it shows the system databases.
Again i create the table under one of the system databases, and tried to connect it. Those system tables which are there from before are only available to connect but not the table i newly created.
I have checked the properties, permission of the table as well as the database. Nothing is wrong there.
Will attach screenshot after the forum admin verify me.

Hi Marconi,
The forum supports VS setup and installation. Your issue is more about Web Expression 4. But I find the information below from the link:http://www.microsoft.com/expression/eng/#web
The web is now about applications as well as traditional web sites, and this requires a new set of tools. Microsoft is committed to offering a unified approach to focus on web design and development features in Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 and beyond.

It seems you could install VS express 2013 for web to instead it. If you want to install VS express for web and you encounter any issue, you could post the installation issue to here.
>>No, this is not the correct forum. This forum is for using .Net Framework inside SQL Server.
The sentense is from the first reply. It seems you first post the issue to SQL server for help. As Erland said, it seems your issue is more about Web Expression 4. Have you solved your issue by using the first reply? If has, please mark the first reply as
answer. If not, you could post your issue to the related forum for better support.

Using a SQL data source and XML data source in the same template

I am trying to develop a template for the Request for Quote report generated in Apps 11.5.10. I have loaded the data from the XML output into the template, but I am missing one field - I need the org_id from the po_headers table. Is it possible to use a sql data source (i.e., "select org_id from po_headers_all where po_header_id = [insert header_id from xml data]...") in addition to the xml data source to populate the template at runtime? When you use the Insert > SQL functionality is it static at the time the template is created, or does it call to the database at runtime? I've looked through all the docs I could find, but this isn't clear.
Thanks for any help or suggestions you may have.
Rhonda

Hi Pablo
Thats a tough one ... if you go custom with a data template you will at least get support on the data template functionality ie you have a problem when you try and build one. You will not get support on the query inside the data template as you might have gotten with the Oracle Report, well you could at least log a bug against development for a bad query.
Eventually that Oracle Report will be converted by development anyway, theres an R12 project going on right now to switch the shipped OReports to data templates. AT this point you'll be fully supported again but:
1. You have to have R12 and
2. You'll need to wait for the patch
On reflection, if you are confident enough in the query then Oracle will support you on its implementation within a data template. Going forward you may be able to swap out your DT and out in the Oracle one without too much effort.

SQL Interface - Error in Loading the data from SQL data source

Hello,
We have been using SQl data source for loading the dimensions and the data for so many years. Even using Essbase 11.1.1.0, it's been quite a while (more than one year). For the past few days,we are getting the below error when trying to load the data.

Interestingly, after the job fails thru our batch scheduler environment, when I run the same script that's being used in the batch scheduler, the job completes successfully.
Also, this is first time, I saw this kind of error message.
Appreciate any help or any suggestions to find a resolution. Thanks,

Hii Priya,
The reasons may be the file is open, the format/flatfile structure is not correct, the mapping/transfer structure may not be correct, presence of invalid characters/data inconsistency in the file, etc.
Check if the flatfile in .CSV format.
You have to save it in .CSV format for the flatfile loading to work.
Also check the connection issues between source system and BW or sometimes may be due to inactive update rules.

error 1
Find out the actual reason and let us know.
Hope this helps.

How create animated power view reports using sharepoint list as a data source in sharepoint 2010?

Hi All,
I got a client requirement to create reports using SharePoint List as data source. The report should show reflection depends on values changed (I mean animation).
I have heard about the power view/power pivot which does this kind of animations in reports.
Can someone please guide me on creating reports which shows animations
In power view/power pivot using SharePoint List as data source in SharePoint 2010.
Thanks in advance.
MercuryMan

Hi MercuryMan,
Yes, Power View, a feature of SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 or SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Edition, is an interactive data exploration, visualization, and presentation experience.
It provides multiple views featuring tiles, slicers, a chart filter, and a number of visualizations, including cards, small multiples, and a bubble chart. So, we can use Power View to do intuitive ad-hoc reporting for business users such as data analysts, business
decision makers, and information workers.
Currently, Power View report only supports two types of data models: PowerPivot Worksheet, and data models based on Analysis Services Tabular Model or Multidimensional Cube.
In your scenario, you can create PowerPivot worksheets using SharePoint List as data source, deploy the PowerPivot worksheet to a SharePoint Library or PowerPivot Gallery, and then generate Power View reports based on the PowerPivot worksheets on the SharePoint
site.
To use SharePoint List as data source in Excel PowerPivot, you can refer to the following resource:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/excel_services__powerpivot_for_sharepoint_support_blog/archive/2013/07/11/excel-services-using-a-sharepoint-list-as-a-data-source.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh230322.aspx
To create a Power View report based on PowerPivot model, you can refer to the following links:

Using relational data from SQL data source in Planning and Essbase

Hi,
How do I take sample data from a SQL data source and bring it into a Hyperion Planning application? I understand that when creating Planning applications, a link between a relational data source and Essbase must be established, because the relational database holds the metadata while the database outline is stored with Essbase. However, all I am currently able to do is load the data into Planning applicaitons via EAS, where I right-click on the Application database, hit load data, and select from either a .txt file or an excel file. Do I need Oracle Data Integrator? Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated, as well as corrections to any incorrect assumptions I may have made in this post. Thank you.

When you import your file (Excel or text), you're importing it using a Load Rule in EAS. To load from SQL, you simply create a SQL load rule. You'll load data the exact same way (via EAS), but with a different type of load rule. The load rule will contain the SQL that queries the database. You can preview your data in the load rule the same way you would with a file.
If your SQL is very complex, I'd recommend creating a view and loading from that view. But otherwise it's pretty straight-forward.
The only catch is that you need to configure a database connection (to your relational database) on the Essbase server. The Essbase DBA guide will show you how to do this.
You COULD use ODI, but I tend to only use it for loading metadata.
Hope this helps,
- Jake

Configuring odbc.ini in Unix for SQL data sources in EAS

Hi All,
The first question I have is, which odbc.ini file should I edit?
The tech reference says navigate to /home/Common/ODBC/Merant/x.x/odbc.ini but I have 5 folders under Merant...
5.3
6.0
6.0SP1
6.1
7.0.1
The main problem I have is making the new connection show in EAS client, I have edited all the 5 of the ODBC.ini files on our Unix essbase server to include our DB name and left the values as default (for testing purposes), what I have found is that the new connection name does not appear in the SQL data sources as a drop down menu, do I need to restart anything to make the new value show in EAS?

To answer my own question, the path to the true odbc.ini file is located here...ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OPMN/opmn/opmn.xml, in my case, EAS was refering to an odbc.ini file located in my ARBORPATH and not /u02/oracle/obi11d/fmw/Oracle_BI1/common/ODBC/Merant/6.0/lib/ARora24

Concatenated SQL Data Source in BIP 11G

Hi all,
I have performed a repository upgrade of BI Publisher from 10G to 11G. Everything is working perfectly fine except the problem below:
All the reports consists of 2 data sets. Both of them are sql queries. Data_set 1 is guaranteed to return the result set as it queries the sysdate and puts as the date the report ran. This is for auditing purpose. Data_Set2 contains the business logic for the report. At times this query does not return any data. In the case where both queries returned data, I am able to publish my report in all available output formats. e.g xml, pdf and html just to mention a few. However, in the case where Data_Set2 does not have any result set but Data_Set1 does, I am only able to display the data in XML not PDF or HTML. For pdf it come back with the message "Failed to load PDF Document" and in HTML comes with an error message "oracle.xdo.servelet.data.DataException: Layout not found".
In BI Publisher 10G, you can could choose an option of "Concatenated SQL Data Source" and it will be able to generate the report in any format with just the result set of Data_Set1 i.e sysdate for the date when the report was ran.
Any idea as to how I can achieve the same goal in BI Publisher 11.1.1.5
Regards
Joster

Hi all,
I managed to realise what was the problem.
It seems like with BIP 11G, one does not to explicitly select "concatenated SQL Data Source" as was the case in 10G when using more than one data source. This option is implicitly applied.
The issue on my side was that some of the templates I had upgraded from 10G were corrupted hence the data was returned through xml but not other template based output.
Thanks
Joster

Can't create sql data source in Power BI

Hello All,
I'm trying to use the sql database from my ACT! CRM to connect to Power BI.
I've succeeded in installing the Microsoft data management gateway and connecting this Power BI. Status is 'running'.
However when I try to add sql data source, and add credentials to log on the 'act7' instance of the sql, the response is 'failed to test connection, login failed'
Can anyone help?

Hi Mark,
When you specify credential, are you able to connect to the data source directly? Meaning that if you're at home please ensure VPN is established between you and the data source. This is another factor of authentication when exposing data source for workbook
refresh.

How to use Sql data source from Essbase 9.3.1

Hi All,
How to use Sql data source from Essbase 9.3.1 for ASO cube.Are there any rules and limitations for that.
Do we need to create any data source connection for this purpose. If there please let me know the dteps to create that connection.
Regards

Yes you need to create one DSN connection and you have to use DSN name and login details at the time of building/loading of the outline.
Create DSN
Goto Administrative tools -> DataSources (ODBC) and add the DSN name and specify the Server name of SQL and login details and database.
goto data prep editor and click on File Menu and Click on Open SQL option Next window opens.
There you have to enter the details of the DSN connection and SQL query to build/load.
Thanks,

SQL Data Sources Disabled

Hi Gurus,
I've Teradata 13.10.00 client and 32-bit ODBC driver installed on Essbase11.1.2 Server. Then I've created a system DSN to our Teradata source.
Now when I open SQL in Rules file, I dont see the DSN created in SQL data sources drop down and it is disabled.
Are there any other prerequisites, or anything I'm missing ? Can you please help ?

I've created a working ODBC link using the "SQL Server" driver to connect to my remote DB, tested under excel.
I have tried the "MERANT OEM 5.2 64-BIT SQL Server Wire Protocol" too, it's seems to work under "data source" in the control panel, but it doesn't work under excel.
I've read the esb_sqlint.pdf, and i didn't find what i've missed.

I use the default way.
Control Panle -> admin tools -> data source
I think it create the 64 bit ODBC link.
I've used the three odbc driver ,MERANT ODBC 64 bit SQL server wire protocol, the SQL Native client, and SQL server.
Essbase still say "There are no data sources defined. Please create one to continue".

Configuring SQL Data Sources in Essbase Server

Hello, I was trying to connect Oracle from Essbase Application Manager, after executing inst-sql.sh and properly setting the ARBORPATH variables and ODBC ini file into the correct path.Driver is also setup I created a Rule file and try to connect to Oracle , I am getting an error "SQL Data Source unavailable for the application" Could anyone help me in resolving this issue?.

Do you have the ODBC connection set up on your desktop, or on the server? It may be that you need it on both.

Table for List of Active Data Sources

Hello All,
I have a requirement like, to collect List of Active Data Sources from which extractions are happening for the past one year.
Actually i have many Data sources which are in Active State but extractions are happening only on some of the Active Data Sources.
I can collect List of Active Data Sources from Table RSOLTPSOURCE, but how to collect Active Data Sources from which extractions are happening for the past one year.
Is there any such table which satisfies my requirement?
Thanks in Advance!!

Hi Srikanth,
I had similar kind of requirement in my project and I used following approach,
1) We already had a list of all the process chains which extract data from source system. So you also need to get such list if you don't have then goto RSPCLOGCHAIN and get the list of all the active chains.
2)after that goto table RSPCCHAIN and for all of your chains or for a single chain you can put the TYPE as "loading" and you will get list of all the infopackage.
3) Once you get the list of all the infopackages which are loading data from your source system.
4) goto table RSLDPIO and put all your infopackage name and source system you will get the list of all the datasources in OLTPSOURCE field.

Add external data sources to Webi 4.1 (xls, txt)

Hello,
What is the best way (if any) to allow my users to add in their external data sources to Web Intelligence 4.1? So that they can join this with Universes or just create stand alone Webi reports from their own External sources like Excel spreadsheets, .TXT or CSV files?
Thanks,
Matt

Thanks for the feedback,
We are actually using 4.1.1 (service pack 1) and when I'm logged in as the Administrator with 'Full Control' to Webi I only can select the following data sources (see attached):
- No data source
- Universe
- BEx
- Analysis View
I can upload both Excel Files and Text Files to Webi no problem via --> Documents --> New Local Document but can't seem to access either of them by using any of the above data source selections.
With 4.1.1 is there another access level or privilege I need to enable to allow folks to get at external sources? If so, how?
THANKS,
Matt
