No SQL data sources EAS 11.1.1.3 W2K3R2

Hi all,
I can't get an "SQL data sources" load for creating my rule files.
I'm using WS 2003R2 64 bit, Oracle Hyperion entreprise performance management system, hyperion entreprise performance management system foundation, essbase client and server 11.1.1.3.0 64 bit.
A local SQL server 2005 64 bit, and a remote SQL server 2005 64 bit.
My essbase.cfg :
; The following entry specifies the full path to JVM.DLL

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.

Basile

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 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

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,

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

Raghu.

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 ?

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.

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

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.

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.

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,

No SQL Data sources in Essbase 11 EAS on Linux -- ODBC help

Hi all,
Oracle Enterprise Linux 64-bit, Oracle 10.2.0.4 64-bit, Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1 32-bit, Hyperion 11.1.1.3 32-bit
While in the Data Prep Editor, I'm trying to create a rules file. however, when I go to File > Open SQL and enter my server/application info, an error is raised: There are no data sources defined. Please create one to continue.
The contents of my odbc.ini are below. When I run the demoodbc executable (after a . hyperion/products/Essbase/eis/server/is.sh) and connect to the db using my username/password, the connection succeeds and the query runs successfully. But for some reason eas isn't able to use that same odbc connection.
I have no idea where else to look as far as fixing this issue. None of the data sources that were originally in odbc.ini (the various wire connections, etc) appeared in the open SQL window either, so...?
Where do I start looking on this?
Thanks!

Problem with the SQL Data Source (Essbase server in Unix Env)

I too have the same problem.
I have setup the Datasource for an Oracle db in the Essbase Server (which is on a Unix Box) using the Oracle Wire Protocol.I tested the ODBC connection in the Server and it connect with the credentials.
But if i choose the same DSN in the EAS and try to connect i get the below error
Error: 1021001 Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server.
I even downloaded a document from the Oracle site.. on the SQL interface in Essbase but i could not find the inst-sql.sh file to enable Essbase SQL Interface on the server. Is this required??
I tried with both the User & System DSN on the server but no luck.
Any help on this will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Posting in a new thread since the old one is answered and no points available to score.

It can depend on the version, it is different for version 11, further information :- How to define a relational data source in (odbc.ini) V11 Essbase?

BI Publisher with Siebel 8.1 using custom SQL data source

Hello ,
We have Siebel 8.1 implemented with embedded BI Publisher for reporting .
For some custom requirements , we want to connect to other oracle database table and display the results in Siebel reporting environment .
I know this is possible with normal BI Publisher environment . But Since I am new to Siebel , I am not sure it will work with SQL as data source .
Could you please guide me how to do that (if feasible )

I am passing in the argurments but I am unsure of all the dwtails as there isnt alot of documentation on using it in workflow. Can you please assist me or point me to some documentation> I followed the Information of the Doc ID 823360.1 but I may be missing something. Not sure how it knows what to include. Thought it was the bookmark input but not sure. I want to pass it an activity id and return the data associate with that activity (ei. orders). Thanks in advance.... Tracy

How to change SQL data source in rule file

Hi there, I use many rule files to load dimension and data with EssbaseSQL interface. (100-200 rule files!).When need to cahnge information for data sources, do Ihave to change it always with EAS interactively ?Is there any way to cahnge the information of the data sourcesin batch mode or with command?

iitobs: There are API calls (in at least C and VB that I found) that can use a rule file, and even copy or create one, but none that will modify a rule in any way. Even the "create rule" API call simply reserves the name so that someone else can't create one with that same name until you manage to copy it over from somewhere else - it doesn't create a new rule file, nor does it allow you to set anything in the rule. You have to use EAS to manage rule files internally.
