Power View RDLX File Format - Connect to Source in SharePoint

I am currently trying to Open (and Edit) a Power View Report which i create on Excel, on my System, and then Upload with the workbook on SharePoint.
I have followed the following Tutorial in Order to accomplish this:
Configure Excel Services data refresh - External Data Source
After doing so, i was able to succesfully open my First Sheet (Power Pivot Sheet) from the Excel Workbook which i had uploaded, i noticed something about a Trusted File Location with the Excel Service on Central Admin (SharePoint) one had to Configure, i
did that as well,
but whenever i press the Power View Sheet, i get the following Error Message:
(-Used to get this error for the PowerPivot Sheet as well, but that got fixed after solving everything as said in the Tutorial, but it still remains whenever i open the Power View Sheet)
Which basically reads:
Error while refreshing external Data
The Data Connection File used
in the Workbook
DataSource.odc
Does not provide for a
Trusted Storing Location.
Error refreshing data from
TabularModel (Basically the Connection Name of the Connection created in Excel (and afterwards exported as DataSource.odc on SharePoint)
At least one Data Connection
in this Workbook could
not be refreshed, the following
Connection could not be refreshed
TabularModel
Has anybody ever been able to Upload a Power View Report, Created on Excel, to SharePoint, and connect that to a External Datasource ?
in the MSDN Tutorial, they said this was possible through this exported .ODC Connection file, but it only work good for PowerPivot and other Excel stuff, not Power View
Thanks a lot for your Help in Advance, always deeply appreciated

Interesting. Please review this documentation and see if it helps:

Need free OST viewer tool to help to view OST files without connecting to MS Exchange Server and MS Outlook.

Need free OST viewer tool to help to view OST files without connecting to MS Exchange Server and MS Outlook.

Hi Howard,
As I know, Microsoft does not provide any kind of inbuilt tool or free software to only view OST file, even without the connectivity with exchange server (Offline).
Try SysTools OST Viewer freeware which helps you to view all OST file save at your system in an easy way, whether you want to see the attachments or other items of OST file.
Note: This is a free inbuilt utility, but try it on your own risk as I am not much aware about it and its working. But this tool sounds good according to your requirement and hopefully it would give you 100% satisfaction.

How do I view "TOD. file format" on my Mac

Hi,
My problem: How do I view "TOD. file format" on my MacPro Book?
I am a marine scientist, working on very small marine animals, my research methods is to record these animals swimming and then track their movement with image tracking software.
Equipment:
+ 3 x JVC GZ-HD7 Cameras which records in true 1920x1080i video, storing files in .TOD file format.
+ MacBook Pro + huge external hard-drive to handle these files.
+ Final Cut Express
The Hard-drive of the cameras is full and I need to download the footage, so I can record more experiments.
I’ve tried to backing up footage on the JVC DVD Burner, CU-VC40.
But when I try to view this on the Mac, there is the same problem with the .TOD file format.
I’ve tried installing the QuickTime component for Everio = no difference.
Any help would be great!!!!
I understand biology and computers & tech is starting to give me a headache.
Thanks!!

Hello everybody,
first of all I wanna thank the founders for that great forum. Found interesting information here.
Hopefully I'll help with some data and have some questions at the same time.
After researching several communities I use MPEG SC 1.9 to convert the TOD files. There was a little disturbance, either to convert to HDV or AIC. Hopefully my little test will display the difference:
TOD file 39.7 MB in 1920x1080
DV file 46.3 MB in roughly 1.5 min
adjustments within MSC...Format: DV Stream(PAL, Interlaced,16:9, Audio rate 48000khz), scale Interlaced, color re-interlace, upper pic first
-> FCP no render for Video necessary
-> hopefully I got all menue options halfway right. Apparently I'm not US and use a german version
MOV file 143.6 MB with Apple Intermediate Codec in exactly 1 min
adjustments within MSC...Format: Quicktime Export, Compression AIC, Audio uncompressed, 1920x1080, scale Interlaced, color re-interlace, upper pic first
-> FCP rencer for Video necessary
-> hopefully that's the codec everybody means, when talking AIC !?
General FCP question here:
I've set it to HDV 1080i 50 and then imported the files to the project. Apparently the movie in the canvas (100% size) should be huge, a lot of scrolling bars. But it isn't. It's a little bit bigger than the canvas or viewer window and the picture isn't that clear.
Same thing with the TOD file in Mpeg SC. It's not crystal clear, far away from expectations. Cars in city limits seem to have stripes while in motion. The frame size doesn't fit. It should be bigger than my smaller display can display.
Here's the info out of Mpeg SC:
Stream: MOV001.TOD
Pfad: ~/Movies/MOV001.TOD
Typ: MPEG transport stream
Dauer: 0:00:13
Datenmenge: 39.73 MB
Bit Rate: 24.66 Mbps
Video Spuren:
4113 MPEG-2, 1920 × 1080, 16:9, 29.97 fps, 28.00 Mbps, oberes Halbbild zuerst
Audio Spuren:
4129 MP2 stereo, 48 kHz, 384 kbps
Stream Dateien:
MOV001.TOD (39.73 MB)
Why is the 1920x1080 not the size it should be ? Honestly, if that s the quality from a daylight shot I will sell that camcorder right away and buy a PAL system mini DV for half the price. It's bad !
I've chosen Apple FCP unkompr. 8-Bit 4:2:2 in MSC.
At least I got a 1920x1080 picture/movie. But what does 8Bit 4:2:2 mean ?
Is that what all of you do ? Guess not.
22 sec of movie 78.7 MB big turn out to 2.55 GB !!!
Still the quality isn't that great. Would someone please help me with the parameters in MSC to convert ? That would be awesome.
Lowlight quality of the camcorder is really bad. One bulp and it's spooky dark. But that's not that bad, if at least perfect lid scenes would be great.
I still wait for those super color pics

Is there a plugin to view .sgi file formats in preview on OSX 10.6?

As the subject line indicates, is there a plugin (free or non-free) that will allow me to preview .sgi file formats in Preview on OSX 10.6. The functionality previously existed by default but with Snow Leopard, it appears it was removed.
Thanks for any replies.

The problem with Finder plugins like this, is that if Apple changes the operating system, the implementation may have to change, and many developers have lagged behind trying to hack the operating system. http://www.unsanity.com/ is one that has done many hacks that have varying levels of compatibility depending on the operating system. I say if it isn't known to be compatible, don't upgrade until it is, if the function is important to you.

Power View in SharePoint Server - The data extension type for a data source is not valid

Hi All,
All of a sudden I am getting following error when trying to create Power View report using shared report data source (no error testing the connection):
"The current action cannot be completed. The data extension type for a data source
'http://dev/Shared Ducuments/Sales.rsds' is not valid for this operation"
I already have a data source (I had created it after creating my site collection a week ago) and when I use this source to create Power View report then there is no error but I am getting above error when I create another similar data source and use it to create
a Power View report.
Please help me to resolve the error.
Thanks

I am going nuts! I had selected 'Analysis Services' instead of 'Microsoft BI Semantic Model for Power View'

Tabular Connection - Blank Power view generation is taking time.

Hello Team, Got a question over the Power view report creation with the default settings.
We are having two tabular model connection files (bism) which were created in the SharePoint.
By using the Connection 1, It is taking around 6 seconds to have the blank power view report created wit this connection.
When we tried to create a power view report from Connection 2, It is taking around 30 seconds to have the blank power view report ready.
Questions:-
. What is the reason for having this much time deviation for having the blank power views created between two connections?
. Is there any power view/tabular model properties can be changed to get the better performance for the second connection?
Please try to provide your view on this.

You could try profiling your Analysis Server.

Hi Aditya,
Thanks for your reply.
I am using Enterprise edition of SharePoint 2013 only. SQL Server 2012 SP1.
I have configured Reporing Services also successfully. I got "Reporting" folder in "15" hive location "C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\WebServices"
SSRS Service application also i have created success in CA Manage Service Application.
I have done "Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint" also which is "rsSharePoint.msi".
What should i do apart from this? Can you tell me. Its frustrating like anything.
I have added the "PowerPivot" excel in "PowerPivot Gallery" and clicked the icon "Create Power View Report"
Thanks in Advance.

Power view in SharePoint - Required fields not working!!!

Hi,
We have SharePoint 2013 and SQL Server 2014 and SSRS in SharePoint integrated mode.
We have a "Microsoft BI Semantic Model for Power View"-data connection in a document library and by clicking it users can create their own Power View reports.
We have in the document library defined a couple of columns as required.
When a user saves their Power View report(File->Save as) to the document library, the required fields are left blank. They are not checked!!!
WHY?
Does Power View use REST when saving to the document library?
This question should be in SQL Server/Power View/SharePoint -forumns, but MSDN forces you to select only one.
How can we enforce the checking of required columns???

It might be the result of nested script tags.
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
<!--
Remote one of those opening tags and remove the closing tag in between the scripts.
Also, I'm not sure if you are aware, but your site looks completely broken in Firefox. Edges are ragged and the text runs off the page in places. This is the result of using a graphics program to create your html. Image ready slices are fine for prototyping, but not suitable for production work because they create code that is fragile and too rigid.
I also would not use the Flash header you have used just to display imges. I suggest using a more accessible method.

Power View not displaying measures

Hi,
We have designed an SSAS Tabular Model in DirectQuery mode. The data source is a SQL Server database located on a different server. We are attempting to design a Power View report but the date measures are not appearing. They
appear in PowerPivot and Excel but not Power View. I’ve seen two other articles on connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer (below) that it has been a known bug for some time. Do you know of a bug fix or work-around? Thanks.

Hi Pat,
Thank you for your question.
As you can see on that link, Microsoft had said that this was a known issue and around for it. You can click "Vote this as important" button, so that Microsoft will release the fix as soon as possible if this issue was mentioned by many people.
Thank you for your understanding.

How can I print File Format definitions?

We have multiple text and spreadsheet input files we use to load data to our DW. Is there a way I can print the format definitions for the the text and spreadsheet files?
I've used the Auto documentation feature for work flows and data flows, but don't see an option for the print the File Formats (very well could be user error!).
Thanks for any insight...

You can view the file format in the Auto Documentation page but don't see a button to print it out. Is this what you are looking for? ...

Extracting text (UTF8 and UTF16) from the SWF file format

Hello.
Just wondering if this newsgroup is the right one to talk
about the
'open' SWF file format. I'm looking for a utility to pull out
the text
strings inside of a SWF file (both UTF8 and UTF16). The file
format is
open-sourced, so I guess that I could write something, but I
remember
there being some tools here when Adobe first open-sourced the

but I'm not able to find the tools anymore.
Any help?

Kenny_I

Hi Kenny_I,
As per my understanding, I think this issue may be caused by your colleague has no permission to access to data source 'EntityDataSource', it is a Kerberos issue. When report server uses ‘Windows authentication (integrated) or SharePoint user’ as the credentials
to access the data source 'EntityDataSource', the authentication would be failed. So we should try to check if the issue is in this scenario. If in this case, we should change the credentials to stored credentials.
Besides, if we don’t configure C2WTS Service Account to use Local System, it needs the following local policy rights:
Act as part of the operating system.
Impersonate a client after authentication.
Log on as a service.
For more details, please refer to the following blog:
http://www.codeovereasy.com/2014/01/powerview-report-fails-no-credentials-are-available-in-the-security-package/
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Does the file format differ when you Publish locally to hard drive vs. to the Connect Pro server?

I notice that when I publish locally to my hard drive to review a set of slides, I see a folder full of files. If I click on index.htm within the folder, I can launch the slides.
When I publish to the Adobe Connect Pro server, I merely see a url for the link to the course.
I'm not sure what this url link represents (as far as the file format is concerned):
Has the presentation been converted to different file format than what is published on my local drive? If so, what format is it in?
If the presentation has not been converted, does the directory structured published to my local drive get replicated on the Adobe Connect Pro server, and the url is merely a link to the "starting file " within that folder (say, index.htm)?

The published output does not differ between publishing locally and publishing to Connect. The URL on the Connect server does, ultimately, point to the Index.htm or viewer.swf file.
