Open Data File

I am using Essbase 7.1.6.6 version of EAS. I created a new rule file using a data file. When I close the rule file and open it again, the data file does not open. It does not give me any error. It just does not do anything. I have some old rule files in the cube and there is no problem with those files.
Thanks
Yagna

The file is on the server. I think the default file location is not retained. The problem is, when I click on "Open Data File" option, it does not do anything. It does not give me an error either. It should open the window to select the file location.
The cube was created in the older version of Essbase, but I created the new rule in 7.1.6.6. I had 7.2.5 EAS version on my computer and Oracle help desk told me that it might be a problem with that version, so uninstalled that and installed 7.1.6.6
Thanks for your input.

Not able to open data file in a rule file

Hi,
We have a rule file which has 140 columns. We are trying to add two new columns at the end (i.e. 141 & 142). We have added those columns in input text file and opened that text file in rule file. So automatically two columns are added at the end of rule file. Mapping is done properly. After that we saved that rule file.
But next time when we opened that rule file and clicked "Open data file" option nothing is happening. We are not able to open data file in that rule file. But that rule file is working fine when we are running it.
Can you please give any hint why it is not working?
Thanks.

Just a thought about your data file -- maybe 142 columns is too much? Yes, I know, if this is loading to a BSO database, and the columns represent a dense dimension, you are super duper efficient, but is the game worth the candle?
What happens if you drop one of the members? Mark the column as Ignore During Data Load? Several columns? And then you need to add in new ones? KABOOM!
FWIW, to keep the process as flexible and maintenance free as possible, I make every record one data value if I have any say in the matter. Yes, it is not efficient. But at least I don't get calls at o-dark-thirty telling me my process blew up and I need to fix it right away.
NB -- I suppose these are two extremes and the right answer is somewhere in middle, but I will note that you likely won't have issues with reading and writing a data load rule with my approach.

EAS 11.1.1.3/weblogic : cannot open data file

Guruz,
On Essbase/EAS 11.1.1.3 and Weblogic 9.3MP3, when working on a rule file and opening a data file nothing happens.
We restarted EAS service without success. Increased heap. Copied app/db. Renamed app/db.
We're accessing EAS through jnlp, same issue from installed console
Btw reproduced with jre 1.6.0.10-b33, 1.3.1 and 1.5
No error in easlog is generated when I click on "Open Data File".
Any idea or workaround? I already searched the knowledge base without success. Case is open at support.
BTW already posted on www.essbase.org
http://www.network54.com/Forum/58296/thread/1254480016/EAS+open+data+file+issue
Many thanks

Hi all!
Faced with same issue month ago. Still trying to solve...
Case at support opened too..
Founded a way to get an error every time when issue happens (after trying to open a datafile):
1. Local windows EAS console installation needed
2. ...\AnalyticAdministrationServices\console\bin\admincon.lax
3. Redirect messages to console by editing 2 rows in admincon.lax:
lax.stderr.redirect=console
lax.stdout.redirect=console
4. Start Local Essbase console and reproduce the issue
5. In console window (black in backgroung) you can see java error which appears instead of open datafile dialog.
Will be happy if it helps you.
If your issue have been allready gone, please tell how to avoid it.
Best Regards
Dmitry

Admin Services - Data Prep Editor: Save, Open, Open Data File - Hangs

The problem is that whever I try to Open, Open Data File or Save while in Data Prep Editor, the Admin Console Hangs. It shows as Responding in the task manager, but the screen turns grey (hangs) and the admincon.exe process is constant at about 50% CPU.
I don't know what is going on? Is there possibly some corrupt disk area on my PC? I checked everyone on forums, tried to find the answer, but no info is availabe? I re-installed to JRE 1.5, I checked the java environmental variables. I did so much, but nothing has worked.
At first I thought it might have been some 9.3.1 bug, so I unistalled 9.3.1 and installed EPM System 11; still same problem!!
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have a similar problem, when I try to open a data file, nothing happens.... app doesn't lock, just the file open dialog box never opens... I'm using 9.3.1, and the same problems happens, on EAS installed locally, Web client, and running EAS from the app server itself. The load rule works fine, I just can't see a data file in the prep editor. Any thoughts help are appreciated.

Cannot open data file to run registration program

I just bought my new laptop last week and after Ive added all my files (105G) and a few programs, this error message comes up upon startup "cannot open data file to run registration program". I was told by the Toshiba people to use a recovery cd but that it would reset my computer back to its original settings which i don't want to do. I have Vista and everything works fine but Id rather not get that message every time I boot up. Any suggestions?

Thanks for adding Defender.

OL 2003 crashing on open data file

Hi
When I try to open a pst file in OL2003 on Win 7 the OL crashes. I have repaired the PST with scanpst, have done a detect and repair, and have tried safe mode but had no luck. How can I open the data file please? The data file opens fine in OL2010 on a different
Win 7 machine.
Thanks

Hi Friend,
I guess there is a compatibility issue with a file format between Outlook 2003 and 2010. Follow the given instruction and see the results:
Computer >> Local Disk C >> Program Files >> Microsoft Office >> Office >> Outlook.exe
Make a right click on outlook.exe and go to properties. You will see
“Run this program in compatibility mode for” under the Compatibility tab, uncheck it and click on
“Apply”.

Failed to Open data files files

Dear Members,
Using Oracle 10gR2 on windows
When I start the Oracle server in clients place it fails to open the data files..
SQL> conn / as sysdba
<connected>
sql> select status from v$instance;
<mounted>
sql> alter database open;
error - ora-01157 (cannot identify lock/ data file 8 see DBWR trace file)
ora-01110 - data file 8 d:\Oracle10gr2\oradata\data01.dbf
Now this data01.dbf was created to test something..its of no use. So someone might have deleted the file..and
it has the reference in control file. There was no backup taken.
How to recover from this failure..??? Basically have to erase the reference from control file..

Verma,
How many datafiles you have on that tablespace. If you have more then 1 then you can drop this datafile from the database. "alter tablespace <tablespace_name> drop datafile '<datafile path>';

How to open .dat files

Hi Barney,
Thank you for your reply, the problem here is that this file is coming from HP , its a list price that they are sending it periodically to their partners, I do not think that i can let them change anything in their server or the file format.
A .dat file isn't a file. It is caused by a misconfiguration of their server. They aren't sending you a .dat file. The server is converting the email to that format. That format is internal to the Exchange server. Even if they sent you the file in a different format, the server would still mangle the message.
Again, if you can't find a converter that can extract the attachment from the mangled message, you need to have them talk to their IT department and fix their server config.

TS3276 how to open .dat files?

Hi I cannot open any .dat files I received. How can I open it?

If this file is winmail.dat, use this.

I cant open .dat files downloaded from iPad app on my computer. Any ideas?

I recorded some audio using a really rubbish app called My Video Diary. After I recorded it, I became unable to access the information through the app as it either disappeared or the links no longer worked. Fortunatelly, I had backed everything up on to the cloud. So, I then used my computer to access the files on the Ipad and realised a lot of the files were there. Some of the files were saved as: .caf and I can open this on my computer despite not being able to access them on the app. However, I cannot open any of the files ending in .dat. Some of them can still be accessed through the app but some of then can't be accessed at all.
I have tried VLC and this won't work. I also tried converting them using a programme called isky and I cannot load them on to the programme.
Can anyone help?

I get an error trying to use Apple Address Book with Word Mail merge - says it cannot open data file?

I am running MS Word 2011, latest Mac OS, and trying to use the Mail Merge option with the Apple Address Book as the data source.
However whenever I select the Apple Address Book as the data source, I get the error "Word was unable to open the data source".
Anybody got any idea why?
Thanks for your help

I am guessing you could have solved this little problem already but perhaps someone else may benefit:
I struggled with the same problem - not being able to use Mac Address Book (i.e. Contacts) with Word 2013 for mac mail-merge (on Mountain Lion and, now, on Mavericks) - with the exact same error message reported by Klausngigtoas above .
So I read lots of techie stuff on forums which passed a nice few hours but didn't help. Finally, with slumped, defeated expression, I gave up.
But I just now (such is life) I accidentally stumbled upon the simple solution:
1. Enter System Preferences and click Security & Privacy.
2. Select the Privacy tab and then on Contacts on the left hand panel.
3. In the right hand panel ("Allow the apps below to access your contacts") just tick the Contacts box.
4. And Voilà! - at least it worked for me - hope it does for you.

Cannot open your default e-mail folders. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize your folders with your Outlook data file (.ost)

Fresh installation of Exchange Server 2013 on Windows Server 2012.
Our first test account cannot access their email via Outlook but can access fine through OWA. The following message appears - "Cannot open your default e-mail folders. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize
your folders with your Outlook data file (.ost)" is displayed.
If I turn off cached Exchange mode, setting the email account to not
cache does not resolve the issue and i get a new error message - "Cannot open your default e-mail folders. The file (path\profile name).ost is not an Outlook data file (.ost). Very odd since it creates its own .ost file when you run it for the first
time.
I cleared the appdata local Outlook folder and I tested on a new laptop that has never connected to Outlook, same error message on any system.
Microsoft Exchange RPC Client Access service is running.
No warning, error or critical messages in the eventlog, it's like the healthiest server alive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I haven't encountered this issue with previous versions of Exchange.

So it looks like a lot of people are having this issue and seeing how Exchange 2013 is still new (relatively to the world) there isn't much data around to answer this. I've spend ALOT of time trying to figure this out.
Here is the answer. :) - No I don't know all but I'm going to try to give you the most reasonable answer to this issue, in a most logical way.
First thing I did when I was troubleshooting this issue is that I ignored Martina Miskovic's suggestion for Step4 http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj218640(EXCHG.150)because it didn't make sense to me because I was trying to connect
Outlook not outside the LAN but actually inside. However, Martina's suggestion does fix the issue if it's applied in the correct context.
This is where the plot thickens (it's stew). She failed to mention that things like SSL (which I configure practically useless - anyone who ever worked in a business environment where the owner pretty much trusts anyone in the company, otherwise they don't
work there - very good business practice in my eyes btw, can confirm that...) are some sort of fetish with Microsoft lately. Exchange 2013 was no exception.
In exchange 2003, exchange 2007 and exchange 2010 - you could install it and then go to outlook and set it up. And when outlook manual Microsoft Exchange profile would ask you for server name, you would give it and give the name of the person who you setting
up - as long as machine is on the domain, not much more is needed. IT JUST WORKS! :) What a concept, if the person already on premises of the business - GIVE HIM ACCESS. I guess that was too logical for Microsoft. Now if you're off premises you can use things
like OutlookAnywhere - which I might add had their place under that scenario.
In Exchange 2013, the world changed. Ofcourse Microsoft doesn't feel like telling it in a plain english to people - I'm sure there is an article somewhere but I didn't find it. Exchange 2013 does not support direct configuration of Outlook like all of it's
previous versions. Did you jaw drop? Mine did when I realized it. So now when you are asked for your server name in manual outlook set up and you give it Exchange2013.yourdomain.local - it says cannot connect to it. This happens because ALL - INTERNAL AND
EXTERNAL connection are now handled via OutlookAnywhere. You can't even disable that feature and have it function the reasonable way.
So now the question still remains - how do you configure outlook. Well under server properties there is this nice section called Outlook anywhere. You have a chance to configure it's External and Internal address. This is another thing that should be logical
but it didn't work that way for me. When I configured the external address different from the internal - it didn't work. So I strongly suggest you get it working with the same internal address first and then ponder how you want to make it work for the outside
users.
Now that you have this set up you have to go to virtual directories and configure the external and internal address there - this is actually what the Step 4 that Martina was refering to has you do.
Both external and internal address are now the same and you think you can configure your outlook manually - think again. One of the most lovely features of Outlook Anywhere, and the reason why I had never used it in the past is that it requires a TRUSTED
certificate.
See so it's not that exchange 2013 requires a trusted certificate - it's that exchange 2013 lacks the feature that was there since Windows 2000 and Exchange 5.5.
So it's time for you to install an Active Direction Certificate Authority. Refer to this wonderful article for exact steps - http://careexchange.in/how-to-install-certificate-authority-on-windows-server-2012/
Now even after you do that - it won't work because you have to add the base private key certificate, which you can download now from your internal certsrv site, to Default Domain Policy (AND yes some people claim NEVER mess with the Default Domain Policy,
always make an addition one... it's up to you - I don't see direct harm if you know what you want to accomplish) see this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc738131%28v=ws.10%29.aspx if you want to know exact steps.
This is the moment of ZEN! :) Do you feel the excitement? After all it is your first time. Before we get too excited lets first request and then install the certificate to actual Exchange via the gui and assign it to all the services you can (IIS, SMTP and
there is a 3rd - I forgot, but you get the idea).
Now go to your client machine where you have the outlook open, browse to your exchange server via https://exchang2013/ in IE and if you don't get any certificate errors - it's good. If you do run on hte client and the server: gpupdate /force This will refresh
the policy. Don't try to manually install the certificate from Exchange's website on the client. If you wanna do something manually to it to the base certificate from the private key but if you added it to the domain policy you shouldn't have to do it.
Basically the idea is to make sure you have CA and that CA allows you to browse to exchange and you get no cert error and you can look at the cert and see that's from a domain CA.
NOW, you can configure your outlook. EASY grasshoppa - not the manual way. WHY? Cause the automatic way will now work. :) Let it discover that exachange and populate it all - and tell you I'm happy! :)
Open Outlook - BOOM! It works... Was it as good for you as it was for me?
You may ask, why can't I just configure it by manual - you CAN. It's just a nightmare. Go ahead and open the settings of the account that got auto configed... How do you like that server name? It should read something like [email protected]
and if you go to advanced and then connection tab - you'll see Outlook Anywhere is checked as well. Look at the settings - there is the name of the server, FQDN I might add. It's there in 2 places and one has that Mtdd-something:Exchange2013.yourdomain.local.
So what is that GUID in the server name and where does it come from. It's the identity of the user's mailbox so for every user that setting will be different but you can figure it out via the console on the Exchange server itself - if you wish.
Also a note, if your SSL certs have any trouble - it will just act like outlook can't connect to the exchange server even though it just declines the connection cause the cert/cert authority is not trusted.
So in short Outlook Anywhere is EVERYWHERE! And it has barely any gui or config and you just supposed to magically know that kind of generic error messages mean what... Server names are now GUIDs of the [email protected] - THAT MAKES PERFECT
SENSE MICROSOFT! ...and you have to manage certs... and the only place where you gonna find the name of the server is inside the d*** Outlook Anywhere settings in the config tab, un it's own config button - CAN WE PUT THE CONFIG ANY FURTHER!
Frustrating beyond reason - that should be Exchange's new slogan...
Hope this will help people in the future and won't get delete because it's bad PR for Microsoft.
PS
ALSO if you want to pick a fight with me about how SSL is more secure... I don't wanna hear it - go somewhere else...

Running iOS 10.6.8 on a MacBook. Suddenly Moneydance will not open my account data files. Does anyone know how I can access that information again!?

I'm running iOS 10.6.8 on a MacBook. Yesterday (08/15/14) a software program, Moneydance, stopped opening my account data files. I've tried various ways of accessing them, but the software program is asking me to open an entirely new account (I only see the "Welcome" page). I can see files in my library, but they are grayed out. I am also trying to get help from the Software manufacturer. Could this be a software update complication?

Contact the program developer. Unless you did something yourself, I would suspect that the program developer made some sort of change. Without knowing anything about the application, it is a guess to try to determine what happened.
