PowerPivot refresh error with data feed from sharepoint list with empty exception information

Hi,
My Powpivot refreshing error seems to be different from what others already experienced.
Scenario:
Constructed an external data source in the format of Http://<server_IP>/sites/<mysitecollection>/_vti_bin/listdata.svc
selected one table with some of the needed columns in the next step
Create calculate colums etc.
Create pivot tables etc.
All worked well offline
Upload the workbook into PowerPivot Gallery
Reference it from a page through Excel Web Service webpart allowing manual refresh
The refresh always reports failure with the named external data source
I opend the log file in C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS and located the following error messages:
ASPPHOST::ShowEngineError: Out of line object 'DataSource', referring to ID(s) 'f8939b694cae', has been specified but has not been used。The following exception occurred while the managed IDbCommand interface was being used: .
Please note in the above message, NO detailed exception message was given. In other words,
the exception information is empty.
I checked as many things as I possibly could includin the security accounts etc. All seem to be right. But this empty exception got me stuck here.
What could possibly go wrong? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
Here is a good article regarding Where to get information about data refresh failures for your reference, please see:

PowerPivot - refresh excel with Data Feed

Dear all,
I created a PowerPivot chart out of a SharePoint exported list to Data Feed.
I then published it to a trusted Document Library.
The Chart is working well but is not updating.
So if I go to the document library and on the drop down meny of the publsihed excel file I choose Manage PowerPivot Data Refresh and force it to refresh, it fails with the following error message>

You configured the PowerPivot unattended data refresh account, but now data refresh is failing. Check for these possible conditions:
Choosing the wrong credentials option in the schedule data refresh page.
Insufficient permissions on remote computers or data sources.
Follow the steps below to re-add the unattended data refresh account and see how it works:
1. Create a Data feed library .
2. Upload the local copy of you data feed to there.
3. Open up your report and change the connection.
4. Use Secure Store Service by adding your unattended PowerPivot refresh account.
If still no help, for quick and accurate answers to your questions, it is recommended that you initial a new thread in our SQL server forum.

If you are using Claims Auth then this is a known limitation. Auto refresh only works under Classic Auth.
I trust that answers your question...

Error is data loading from 3rd party source system with DBCONNECT

Hi,
We have just finished an upgrade of SAP BW 3.10 to SAP NW 7.0 EHP1.
After the upgrade, we are facing a problem with data loads from a third party Oracle source system using DBConnect.
The connection is working OK and we can see the tables in the source system. But we cannot load the data.
The error in the monitor is as follows:
'Error message from the source system
Diagnosis
An error occurred in the source system.
System Response
Caller 09 contains an error message.
Further analysis:
The error occurred in Extractor .
Refer to the error message.'
But, unfortunately, the error message has no further information.
If we look at the job log in sm37, the job finished with the following log -
27.10.2009 12:14:19 Job started                                                                                00           516          S

In a BW 3.10 system, there is no message related to element NOAUTHORITYCHECK. So, I am wondering if this is something new in NW 7.0.
Thanks in advance,

There will be three things to get the errors like this
1.RFC CONNECTION FAILED
2.CHECK THE SOURCE SYSTEM
3.CHECK IT OUT WITH Oracle Consultants WEATHER THEY ARE FILLING UP THE LOADS.TELL THEM TO STOP
4.CHECK I DOC PROCESSING
5.FINALLY MEMORY ISSUES.
6.CATCH THE DATA SOURCE FIRST CHANGE IT AND THEN ACTIVATE AND RUN THE LOAD
7.LAST IS MEMORY ISSUE.
and also Check the RFC connection in SM59 If it is ok then
check the SAP note : 692195 for authorization

How to auto populate a column/SharePoint list with Current Date?

I have a SharePoint list and I created a column called ‘CurrDate’.
I need this column to;
Display the current date,
Auto populate all rows with the current date in the SharePoint list
Dynamically update with the current date
I first tried creating the column using the default SharePoint interface Date Time but it’s not doing any of the steps listed above:
I even tried entering =[Today] in the Calculated Value field.
Still nothing…
So, I’m sure you will toss out a code snippet to make this work, which is great.
However, I’m a total noob with SPD, where the heck do I insert this snippet?
Always in need of help.

Hi ,
I understand that you want to add a column to a list to hold current date. Here is a workaround:
Add a single line of text column to the list. Name the list as Today.
Add a calculated column to the list. Use the [Today] as the formula. Set the calculated column to be Date and Time type.
Delete the Today column from the list.

Add Total to Stacked Column Chart on the top and another important thing is the data are from SharePoint site

the same with the following description from another question:
"How can I display a total on top of each column on a stacked column chart (using
reporting services 2008)? If I use Data Labels I can display the
values for each part of the stack on a stacked column, but I want to be display the total.
For Example: If I have stacked column on chart with a value of 10 for the 1st stack, 20 for the 2nd stack,
and 20 again for the 3rd stack - I want to display 50 (the SUM total) as the data label on top of the entire column..."
and a solution for this would create a new column named SUM(category group), this can be done with data source from SQL server, but my data is from SharePoint site list. its query seems can't be changed which means I can't add a SUM column.
what should I do with this? Can anyone give me a hand?
thank you very much.

Hi sophiexu,
If we want to display a total for each column on the top of a stacked chart, we can use a matrix control to display the column total value to work around this issue.

Problem with date format from Oracle DB

Hi,
I am facing a problem with date fields from Oracle DB sources. The date format of the field in DB table is 'Date base type is DATE and DDIC type is DATS'.
I mapped the date fields to Date characters in BI. Now the data that comes to PSA is in weird format. It shows like -0.PR.09-A
I have changing the field settings in DataSource to internal and external and also i have tried mapping these date fields to text fields with out luck. All delivers the same format.
I have also tried using conversion routines like, CONVERSION_EXIT_IDATE_INPUT to change format. It also delivers me the same old result.
If anybody of you have any suggestions or if anybody have you experienced such probelms, Please share your experience with me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Varada

Thanks for all your reply. I can only the solutions creating view in database. I want some solution to be done in BI. I appreciate if some of you have idea in it.
The issue again in detail
I am facing an issue with date fields from oracle data. The data that is sent from Oracle is in the format is -0.AR.04-M. I am able to convert this date in BI with conversion routine in BI into format 04-MAR-0.
The problem is, I am getting data of length 10 (Output format) in the format -0.AR.04-M where the month is not in numericals. Since it is in text it is taking one character spacing more.
I have tried in different ways to convert and increased the length in BI, the result is same. I am wondering if we can change the date format in database.
I am in puzzle with the this date format. I have checked other Oracle DB connections data for date fields in BI, they get data in the format 20.081.031 which will allow to convert this in BI. Only from the system i am trying creating a problem.

Update SharePoint list with project finish date on Project.Updated event

Hello,
I want to update a column in a SharePoint list with the project finish date when a project is updated on Project Server. My OnUpdated event handler is being called ok, but if I change the project start date Project Server runs an asynchronous republishing
on the project, and my event handler ends up being called before the finish date is update by the republishing job, so the code writes the "old" finish date on the SharePoint list. The solutions I could think of are:
Identify the republishing job on Project Server queue, pool the queue waiting for it to finish, then read the finish date and update the list item in SharePoint.
Include a custom job on Project Server queue after the republishing job, that reads the finish date and update the list item in SharePoint.
I don't know if any of the solutions are feasible and how to implement them. Has anyone coded something like this and/or have a better solution?
Thanks,
GB

I vote for the option 1.
I did for one of my event handler..Did you try "on published" event?
            projectSvc.QueueUpdateProject(jobUid, SessionUID, projectDss, false);
            //WaitForQueue(q, jobUid);
            jobUid = Guid.NewGuid();
            projectSvc.QueuePublish(jobUid, e.ProjectGuid, false, string.Empty);
            jobUid = Guid.NewGuid()

Fill a table with data coming from an RFC

Hello everyone:
I've followed the Weblog "How many lines of java code did i write for a simple Web Dynpro?"
/people/durairaj.athavanraja/blog/2004/10/17/how-many-lines-of-java-code-did-i-write-for-a-simple-web-dynpro
I've called an RFC and created a table with data coming from it (which is also a table). My question is, if in this table there's a field named "UserType" there are two possible values for this field:
"userA"
"userB"
How can I get the table only show me the "userA" registers? The RFC does return all of the users, but when filling the table, can I put an if-else somewhere on my code?
Thanks a lot
Alejandro

Hi Alejandro,
Referring to the link provided "The logic of the filter process is not implemented in Web Dynpro. The application developer must implement the action to be executed."
We would have to implement the action onFilter in the controller implementation. Ideally, we fill the data retrieved from backend into a List (java.util.List) (this could be done on init of view) and then subset the list after meeting the criteria in the action handler(say
onActionFilterData(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent).
Having done this, you may bind the output list back to the node (shown in table)

Chaitanya

[Forum FAQ] A content management tool with dashboard based on SharePoint List

1.
Scenario:
The SharePoint OOTB List has saved us a lot of time on managing mess data. It provides three forms to create/view/edit items, the ability to save the views we want with some specific filtering and sorting condition, versioning for easy restoring, and we
can make it advanced with workflow contains the specific business logic.
However, if there is a need for better user experience, interacting with the public APIs and a bit of script to customize the web page would be required.
Suppose there is a requirement like this:
We need a content collection tool which collects ideas from contributors, the newly ideas will be reviewed by reviewers.
We may need to filter the list in a convenient way, get the wanted result with the data from the list and display in a chart or rank list.
We can add some buttons in Metro style to display the counting result of the data from the list dynamically. When we click them, the list will be filtered and sorted to display a friendly set of items. Also, we need to display a trend of the mess data graphically
in some beautiful charts. If we want to find out some outstanding contributors, top contributor board would be more comfortable than the top N items in the OOTB list view.
The page would look like this:
2.
Introduction:
Engineers will come up with some ideas in the daily job and write a content to enlighten others. Reviewers will help to review ideas or contents and publish the contents if qualified.
The complete process looks like this:
As we can see, only the approved idea can be written as a content and only the approved content can be published.
2.1
How it works
We build the whole tool in one page. All ideas and contents will be saved in a custom list. This is how it looks like:
There are three parts in this page:
1
2
2.1
2.1.1
Top menu
The top menu contains three elements:
A Drop Down menu for filtering data by team, it will refresh the other two parts with the filtered data:
A hyperlink “STATISTIC” links to a PowerBI report whose data source is the custom list.
A hyperlink “FEEDBACK” for collecting feedbacks:
The feedbacks will be saved in another list:
2.1.2
Information menu
This part will display the calculated data retrieved from the list within tiles, chart and ranking list.
The tiles can be clicked to filter and refresh the list view.
2.1.3
List view
A list stores all ideas and contents with the properties needed. It can be filtered by the Top menu and Information menu.
The customization on the OOTB custom list template makes it more powerful and more suit for this scenario:
1. An item leveled comment feature (based on OOTB Tags & Notes feature) for other users make comments to an idea or content:
2. Title column: When there is no attachment in the current item, it redirects to the default DisplayForm page. If there is, it will open the attachment (usually a .docx file) in Word Online in a new tab.
3. ECB menu: Add some custom shortcuts for popular actions:
4. A hyperlink column stores the hyperlink points to the website where the content is published to.
3.
How to achieve it
This solution will be hosted in SharePoint Online environment, so we do all the job using JavaScript, REST API and Client Object Model.
The Drop Down menu, tiles, rank list are generated with some HTML+CSS.
The Trend Chart, we take advantage of the Combo chart in the Google chart library.
The list view is hosted in a <iframe> which can be easily filtered and refreshed by just passing a generated URL with query string.
For the customization on the list view and the ECB menu, JSLink with Client Object Model would be OK.
3.1
Specific to every part
3.1.1
Top menu
3.1.1.1
Drop Down menu for retrieving filtered data and refreshing the display of the related controls
When user selects a team here, there will be a request sent out for retrieving items of the list. By default, the limit is 100 when using REST API to get list items, so we can append a “$top=1000” to require more items from server.
Code snippet like this:
$.ajax({
url: _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('" + listName + "')/items?$top=1000",
method: "GET",
headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" },
success: function (data) {
console.log("getListItems succ");
console.log(data);
error: function (data) {
alert("getListItems error");
//failure(data);
Then we will get the “data” as a JSON format string, it contains all the values we need from the list:
We can get the values we want like this:
//get item Count
var arr = [], len;
for(key in data.d.results)
arr.push(key);
len = arr.length;
for(var ii=0; ii<len; ii++)
var team = data.d.results[ii].Team;
var month = data.d.results[ii].Month;
As we need to know the counts of each type of ideas or contents, we use an array for saving the counters:
//ary to store all counters for tiles: all/pendingIdea/pendingContent/my/approvedIdea/approvedContent
var aryAllCounters = [0,0,0,0,0,0];
for(var ii=0; ii<len; ii++)
//get pendingIdeaCount
if(data.d.results[ii].Statuss === 'Pending')
aryAllCounters[1]++;
Once all the numbers are ready, we can do the refreshing.
As the list view page is hosted in a <iframe>, all we need to do is passing a constructed URL with query string:
url_team = URL + "?FilterField1="+FIELD_MYTEAM+"&FilterValue1=" + sel_val;
$iframe.attr('src', url_team);
3.1.1.2
Hyperlink for popping up a dialog to collect feedbacks
The feedback dialog hosts another page which contains two buttons and one text area.
The HTML code of the FEEDBACK button:
<a id="feedback" href="#" onclick="javascript:openDialogBox('../SitePages/Feedback.aspx');">FEEDBACK</a>
The openDialogBox() function:
function openDialogBox(url){
var options = SP.UI.$create_DialogOptions();
options.url = url;
options.height = 130;
options.width = 425;
options.title = "Feedback";
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);
In the Feedback.aspx page, when user click submit button, we will save the content of the text area into the feedback list:
function addListItem()
this.clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
this.oList = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('Feedback');
var itemCreateInfo = new SP.ListItemCreationInformation();
this.oListItem = this.oList.addItem(itemCreateInfo);
//set person field
var userValue = new SP.FieldUserValue();
//userValue.set_lookupId(this.currentUser.get_id());
userValue.set_lookupId(_spPageContextInfo.userId);
oListItem.set_item('Provider', userValue);
//Sets the specified field value
oListItem.set_item('Title', str);
//datetime field
var currDate = new Date();
oListItem.set_item('Submit_Time',currDate);
oListItem.update();
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded_add), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
3.1.2
Information menu
3.1.2.1
Tile shortcut
In the click event of the tiles, the code will pass a generated URL with query string to the <iframe>:
//filter list only
$tile.click(function(){
//distinguish tiles by id
var v = $(this).attr('id');
switch(v)
case S_MY_CONTENT:
url_team1 = URL + "?FilterField1="+FIELD_COMPOSER+"&FilterValue1=" + currentUsername;
break;
case S_PENDING_IDEA:
url_team1 = url_team + "&FilterField2="+FIELD_STATUS+"&FilterValue2=Pending&FilterField3="+FIELD_IDEATYPE+"&FilterValue3=Idea";
break;
$iframe.attr('src', url_team1);

Trend chart
The chart will be initialized with the numbers by month stored in a 3D array:
google.load("visualization", "1", {packages:["corechart"]});
google.setOnLoadCallback(drawVisualization);
function drawVisualization(ary)
// Some raw data (not necessarily accurate)
var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable(ary);
var view = new google.visualization.DataView(data);
view.setColumns([0, 1,
{ calc: "stringify",
sourceColumn: 1,
type: "string",
role: "annotation"
2]);
// Create and draw the visualization.
var ac = new google.visualization.ComboChart(document.getElementById('chart1'));
ac.draw(view, {
//legend: 'top',
legend: {
title : '',
//width: 0,
//height: 285,

Top contributors rank list
When retrieving list items, we can get the “AuthorId” which represents the id of the user in the siteUserInfoList. We run another request to retrieve all items in the siteUserInfoList which stores the username with the URL of profile.
Then we can use a hash table(provided by jshashtable.js) to store the user id, username and profile URL:
$.ajax({
url: _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/siteUserInfoList/Items",
method: "GET",
headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" },
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
//get item Count
var arr = [], len;
for(key in data.d.results)
arr.push(key);
len = arr.length;
var ht_authors = new Hashtable();
for(var ii=0; ii<len; ii++)
if(authorSet.contains(data.d.results[ii].Id))
if(data.d.results[ii].Picture != null)
ht_authors.put(data.d.results[ii].Id, data.d.results[ii].Title+'|'+data.d.results[ii].Picture.Url);
else
ht_authors.put(data.d.results[ii].Id, data.d.results[ii].Title+'|');
console.log("ht_authors.keys(): "+ht_authors.keys());
console.log("ht_authors.values(): "+ht_authors.values());
error: function (data) {
alert("error");
//failure(data);
3.1.3
List view
For the Comment button, custom title link and the custom published link of each item, we can use JSLink to achieve.
Comment button: It is supposed to be the OOTB “Type” column, I change the icon and modify the click event of it to pop up a comment dialog which take advantage of the OOTB “Tags&Notes” feature;
Custom Title link: As there will be two situations of an item: has attachment or not. We will need to run a request to get the URL of attachment and change the hyperlink of the Title field accordingly:
(function () {
// Create object that have the context information about the field that we want to change it output render
var linkFiledContext = {};
linkFiledContext.Templates = {};
linkFiledContext.Templates.Fields = {
//"Attachments": { "View": AttachmentsFiledTemplate }

How to make them work together
When selecting an option in the Drop Down menu, the Information menu and the List view will be refreshed separately.
When clicking the tiles, only the list view will be filtered and refreshed, the other parts will not be influenced.
When items created/modified, the whole page will be refreshed to keep all the numbers in each part updated. A workflow will also be triggered to inform engineers or reviewers the progress of an item or content.
3.3
Other customizations
3.3.1
ECB menu and permission control
As we need to refresh the page when new item or modify item, we put all the form pages in a custom modal dialog and execute the refresh in the success callback function.
There are three roles: Site owner, reviewer and engineer. They have limited privileges according to the roles they are:
Site owner: Full control on the list, can see all the buttons in the ECB menu;
Reviewer: There is another list which stores the names of each team and reviewers’ names of each team. The reviewer has limited full control only on the team they belong to. To other teams, the role can be seen as a visitor;
Composer
(create owner): The one who contribute an idea. For the ideas\contents from other teams, this role can be seen as visitor.
The ECB menu they can see is:
For the visitor, the ECB menu will only display a few buttons:
The code:
(function () {
var viewContext = {};
viewContext.Templates = {};
viewContext.OnPostRender = OnViewPostRender;

Workflow email customization
The email will only be sent to engineer or team reviewer in the three scenarios:
When engineer uploads an idea or content, reviewer will receive an email;
When engineer uploads a content to an existing idea, reviewer will receive an email;
When reviewer approve/reject an idea or content, engineer will receive an email;
The design of the workflow process :
The email design like this:
Email to engineer
Email to reviewer

Hi All
I have one sharepoint list with huge data i.e with 20columns and more than 200 records with the fields .

When the user enter the existing data of list for columns A,C..based on C value the E column value should change and update that particular item in the list.
Please guide me without visual web part can we acheive this by Sharepoint designer 2013 or what would be the preferable solution.
Please help me on this as it is very urgent from me..
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to update the list item in the same sharepoint list with particular condition with Sharepoint Designer 2013.
I recommend to create workflow associated to the list and then start the workflow automatically when an item is changed.
In the workflow, you can add condition and actions as below:
If current item: C equal to Test1
Set E to Test2
Then the value of the filed E will be changed based on the value of the filed C.
In addition, if you create the form using InfoPath, you can add rule to the filed C as below:

How to submit InfoPath form data to multiple SharePoint lists at one time?

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to submit certain data in InfoPath form to separate SharePoint lists at the same time. I have a form that has two views with many data in them. I want to keep these data in separate SharePoint list besides keeping them in the XML. I know that you can submit to a form library using SharePoint document library data connection, but I'm not sure if you can use several data connections for submitting data to multiple SharePoint lists. Is it only possible to do using code? If yes, can anyone show a sample. I have never coded in InfoPath, though I used C# a lot in .Net.
Thank you!Regards,
R.D.M.

This is an old thread but I tripped over a codeless method to do this with OOB InfoPath 2010 and SP 2010.
Assuming your main InfoPath form is published to a document library with the promoted fields that you want to see.
Publish your form to a new document library to capture the secondary data fields that you want separated out.
Using the Publishing Wizard do the following:
Go to – File then Publish
Select SharePoint Server “ Publish form to a SharePoint Library”
Enter location of your SharePoint or InfoPath Forms Services Site:
accept the default in this field from the first published event
Next screen, keep the default or change it, Form Library, Site Content Type or Admin Approved
Next screen, What do you want to do?
Create a new form library
Add new document library name and description
Next screen, Remove all promoted fields not applicable to the new library and add all of the ones you want to see data for.
Click Next and Publish
Come back into the form: If you don’t have buttons added directly to the form to submit or update, add them.
Create a new Action rule on the button
Label the rule to keep it straight
Condition, occurs when button clicked
Add action, Submit data
Use data connection to the second library created
Create a second new Action rule on the same button
Label the rule to keep it straight
Condition, occurs when button clicked
Add action, Submit data
Use original data connection to the library
Then you can add another action to close the form or do whatever you need.
Republish the form to both libraries to set the template for both.
File – Publish – SharePoint Server
Select Secondary library from drop down follow the rest of the prompts
Follow step 5a again, select Primary library from drop down, Add back in all of the promoted fields needed for the primary library and follow the prompts.
DOCUMENT YOUR FORM WELL FOR MAINTENANCE
Special considerations, your primary library needs a unique ID to reference in your secondary library.
Your secondary library will need a unique ID that is not related to the primary if you are going to store multiple records for a single primary library reference.
Example: One form, multiple updates.
