ODBC Error in OBIEE

Hello there,
Thanks for your help and sharing ideas.
I installed OBIEE new version on my windows vista home premium, I created repository in OBI Administrator, I created ODBC data source withh Oracle driver and named as 'Test'.
When Itried to import data source in the opened Repository in Administrator using File-> import-> import from Database I dont see the name 'Test' to open in the Admin tool.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks in Advance

Hi Rick,
Thanks for your informative information. I tried checking these two exe files for ODBC amdin to configure data source.
Now we are able to see Oracle BI Server driver and configured and able to get the data source in Oracle BI Admin tool from import-> import from Database wizard.
Now the question is we are not able to connect to the Database(oracle) in Oracle BI Admin tool when I go to import->import from database, I cannot connect to the ORacle database.
Here is the details we installed
Oracle standard edition 32 bit
Windows vista home premium 64
we were thinking this might be the cause,
Can anyone help me on this.
Thank you

Customizing ODBC errors in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have a requirement where the user is expecting to see some Custom error messages instead of the Default ODBC errors OBIEE throws. Like the one below.
Error generating view. Error getting cursor in GenerateHead
Error Details
Error Codes: OAMP2OPY:OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P:OI2DL65P
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 22055] First argument of Parent function must be a hierarchy in a Parent-Child dimension with a single column Member Key. (HY000)
Where i can find the files which has these messages.They should be on some .xml or Java file on the server. If i know that location, i can change the error into Custom error messages.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Swami

Other than ODBC error

Hi Team,
What are the errors that we can found other than the odbc error in obiee can please share the document if you have.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Some common errors-
Unable to Log In
Error connecting to the Oracle BI Server: Could not connect to the Oracle BI Server because it is not running or is inaccessible. Please contact your system administrator.
Error Codes: WH4KCFW6:OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC
Common cause(s):
•"Oracle BI Server" windows service is not running. Starting the service could resolve the issue.
•In case the BI Server service is running and still the error occurrs, check the port the service is listening to is matching with the port specified in the ODBC DSN for the analytic repository. In NQSConfig.ini file look for RPC_SERVICE_OR_PORT. The default value is 9703. The ODBC DSN name can be found in instanceconfig.xml
"Oracle BI Server" windows service is not starting.
Common cause(s):
•The RPD file specfied in the NQSConfig.ini doesn't exist in the repository folder.
•RPD file may be inconsistent. Open it using Admin tool in offline mode and fix the consistency errors.
Error Generating Chart

Common cause(s):
•"Oracle BI Java Host" windows service is not running. Starting the service could resolve the issue.

Error with OBIEE Usage Tracking

Hi,
I have set up Usage Tracking in Oracle BI Enterprise Edition with the Direct Insert Option. I have created the S_NQ_ACCT table in an Oracle schema that is referenced as a connection pool in the Oracle BI Repository physical layer. When I run my requests from Oracle BI Answers and check my server logs (NQServer.log), I get the following message:
[59048] Usage Tracking encountered an insert statement execution error. This error has occurred 9 times and resulted in the loss of 9 insert statements since this message was last logged.
[nQSError: 16001] ODBC error state: S1000 code: 1456 message: [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-01456: may not perform insert/delete/update operation inside a READ ONLY transaction.
[nQSError: 16015] SQL statement execution failed.

Thanks for the response.
You're right. The response seems to imply that the account does not have the authorization. However, the account I am using to access the database from OBIEE Repository owns the schema where the S_NQ_ACCT table is stored. So I am puzzled as to why this response is generated.

Another landmine is that you may need to use lib32
The gateway libraries in NSConfig.ini may point to 10g libraries.
This is OK if you have 10g but for 11g you may have to relink libclntsh.so.10.1
Hope this helps
All these roadblocks make you dig more, google, read docs experiment and try work arounds
Though this is frustrating we get to discover more about the engine.

Odbc error in answer

Hi All,
I am unable to solve this issue for a week now.I am using oracle 11.2.0 client for 64 bit . I could import the tables and view data from rpd.The problem comes when I run the report from answer.I get ODBC error. I am accessing the obiee server and oracle client through remote desktop connection from my local machine and the database is located in different server. The obiee configuration is fine since I am able to view records from rpd(Obiee Admin).
When I run the report from Obiee 11g answer , I get the following error:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 17003] Oracle gateway error: OCIEnvNlsCreate or OCIEnvInit failed to initialize environment. Please check your Oracle Client installation and make sure the correct version of OCI libraries are in the library path. (HY000)
I did copy tnsnames.ora to {Oracle_BI1}\network\admin directory & {oracle_common}\network\admin directory and Set up TNS_ADMIN to C:\OracleBI\Oracle_BI1\network\admin .I have checked the environment variables and it is correct. This issue is killing me. I have reinstalled oracle client too. Is it the obiee issue or any firewall or it is because I am using remote desktop??
Thanks,
Virat

Powerpivot Report 2010 - OLE DB or ODBC error: Query timeout expired; HYT00

0
I have report already developed by someone in powerpivot 2010 and deployed to sharepoint in powerpivot gallery library. The data source for this report is SQL Server 2008 r2. I have set the refresh options in sharepoint to run after business hours during
week end. When I check the refresh history it shows this error message "OLE DB or ODBC error: Query timeout expired; HYT00. An error occurred while processing the 'xxx' table. The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the
transaction failed..
I have tried to run the "Also refresh as soon as possible " just to check but same error message is shown.
This is the detailed error message details:
03/02/2014 21:06:55 03/02/2014 22:08:15 01:01:20 Failed
OLE DB or ODBC error: Query timeout expired; HYT00. An error occurred while processing the 'xxx' table. The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed
Could anyone guide me on this issue? Truly appreciate your help in advance.

Hi asritha,
I would suggest you take a look at the following articles regarding how to configure PowerPivot data refresh in SharePoint Server:
Configure and Use Stored Credentials for PowerPivot Data Refresh:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210671(v=sql.105).aspx
Configure and Use the PowerPivot Unattended Data Refresh Account:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff773327(v=sql.105).aspx
Note: Please ensure that the account have sufficient permission access to your data source.
In addition, please elaborate your PowerPivot data soure with more detail. If you are using SSAS cube, please try to increase "ExternalConnectionTimeout" property default value to see if this helps. Here is the similar thread for your reference,
please see:

ODBC Error connecting to a stored procedure SQL Server 2008 - Crystal 8.5

I am running a local copy of SQL server 2008 and get an ODBC error when connecting to any stored procedure with or without parameter. The database are running in SQL Server 2000 compatibility mode on the local server.
Do not get the error when connecting to one or more databse tables or when connecting to a stored procedure on a remote database.
The error reported is "ODBC error:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server driver] Syntax error or access violation"
I am running Vista OS.
Any help would be appreciated..

Hello,
Interesting combination. All but CR 8.5 is supported on that OS.
When you created your DSN did you using the 2008 Client or MDAC?
I suggest you go back to supported platforms for CR 8.5
If not then start debugging Vista permissions to start with...
good luck

Column Formula with Error in OBIEE 11g

Hello,
On Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 11g, I am trying to create an analysis. The database is MySQL. In the database, there is a field of type varchar(10). This
field shows a date. In OBIEE 11g, when creating the analysis, in the Criteria tab, I choose this column (varchar) and edit the formula of it. The operation that I want to do is:
YEAR(CURRENT_DATE) - SUBSTRING("TableName"."ColumnName" FROM 1 FOR 4) where the ColumnName is the name of the column of type varchar(10)
but I get an error: +[nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 27002] Near <->: Syntax error [nQSError: 26012]+
If I execute the same query directly on the MySQL database, I get the desired result without any error.
Also, if I use the following formula, I also get an error:
CAST((SUBSTRING("TableName"."ColumnName" FROM 1 FOR 4)) AS INTEGER)
So, I am asking why the first query throws an error in OBIEE 11g but not when it runs directly on the MySQL database. Also, how can I convert in OBIEE 11g a string to integer?
Thank you in advance,
Griselda

It could mean several different things. Do you know if the administrator have shut down the services? If you have access to the server, check to see if all the services are up and running.

Hi JD,
Thank you for your good Reply.
I already recognized the Error with Update Command.No need to end ';' to Update Commad.
I know the Simple Update command like <update>UPDATE SALES SET PK=@2 WHERE PROD_ID='@1'</update> . this command will be worked.
But in this case(This Error with previous Update Command) , I am not able to write correct Update Command.
If you know please let me know.Thanks in Advance.

ODBC Error while Siebel Server try to connect to Oracle 10G

We have managed to get through with the configuration of siebel server on HP Unix. However before we get to the Database configuration, we are encountering errors with ODBC connection to oracle 10g database. We are able to connect to oracle using sql plus but odbc connection is failing. We verified for patches, missing files, directory access rights - but no clue as of now.
Our error says:
Logging into "ENTSIA_DEV_DAN" as "sadmin"....
/user/lib/hpux32/dld.so: Unable to find library 'libclntsh.so'.
ODBC error IM0003 in SQLConnect:
(DataDirect){ODBC lib} specified driver could not be loaded
Unable to login using specified odbc parameters
This has become a show stopped for us and we are strugging with this for the past three days without much direction.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
I guess your DataDirect Driver which gets registered during Database Configuration has some problems.
Can you check whether the DSN is using the proper Driver?
Also, the username through which you are logging in to start Siebel Services must have proper rights.
Many times on Windows platform i have noticied this error in ODBC due to improper user rights. If the rights are not proper, the DataDirect Driver fails to get loaded & throws similar error.

ODBC error checking in a data model

At my client we're using PD 16.5.0 build 3982, and we're trying to check in a LDM that was originally generated from a PDM. When we try and check the LDM in to the repository, we get an ODBC error:
ODBC driver for Oracle
ORA-12899: value too large for column "PMTEXT"."TDAT" (actual: 2002, maximum: 2000)
SQLSTATE = NA000
I have an old (PD 16.1) PDM for the repository, which shows the column as having a length of 30,000, not 2,000. On my own laptop, the 16.5.3 (Sybase SQL Anywhere) repository also shows the column as varchar(30,000). However, the client's 16.5.0 Oracle database shows the column as varchar2(2000).
Has anyone else had this problem with an Oracle repository?

Check your settings for MaxBytePerChar in your ODBC connection details. If you have a multi byte database this helps to correctly store chars that are represented by more than 1 byte, e.g. the EUR sign in a comment field.
