Hi
Please consider reference tables also while creating view, otherwise it won't accept when there are amount and currency fields.
Please have a look at the below url

Fields missing while creating the data source

Hi All
I am using a third party system to pull data in to BI...Actually there was one table where from the other end they had added 2 fields recently...when i checked in development i was able to create the data source for the table along with the new fields..but when i check it in production those newly added 2 fields are missing .. though i am able to see the old fields in the data source the newly added fields are missing..so is there any problem with the refreshment of the table or should we reastart the connection?
Can any one please let me know a solution for this...
Regards
Shilpa

HI,
Are you having connectivity like this
BI Dev
BI QA ---> All Three connected to same 3 rd party system
BI Prod
If yes, If it is R3 replicate datasource will help.
Incase of third party system you need to regenerate the datasource.
if it is DB Connect try to go to the source system and connect to database table from BI side and at the top you will have
generate datasource. use that option you will be able to solve.
Else
BI Dev - 3rd party dev
BI prod - 3rd party prod
Try to add 2 new fields in the 3rd party system and generate the datasource as told above.
Thanks

Problem in activating the data source using a web service

Hi all,
I have created a web service with Logical and Source System names and i have selected nothing in the Type and Release.
Activated the created web service.
Later i tried creating a data source based on this web service source system and tried activating the data sources.
But it is throwing an error saying that error generating the Web Service /BIC/CQWEB_SER_000020000 and error while activating the data source.
Can any one say why is this happening and is there any pre requisites to be done while creating the web service?
what is the use of Type and Release while creating the webservice?
Thanks,

Import option is not showing the Data Source created using ODBC

Hi all,
I'm new to OBIEE, just installed OBIEE 10g in my system with the help of some reply from this Forum (thanks to Kalyan for this).
Now when I tried to create new rpd, the Import option is not showing the Data source I have created. I have created new Datasource in the SystemDSN tab of the ODBC Administrator window,I have tried this by creating the Datasource in the UserDNS tab as well.
Mine is Windows 7 Ultimate. The new data source which I have created through the ODBC Administrator window is to connect to SQL 2008 (I'm trying to get some table from SQL 2008 database), I don't have Oracle data base.
While creating the Data source ODBC Administrator is showing only two drives (SQL Server and SQL Server Native Client 10.0 ) , so I have created the Data source using the SQL Server Native Client 10.0 drive.
Can some one help me to understand the issue and to solve it.
Thanks,
Mithun

Can't Create a Data Source - Failed to test connection. [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied

Hi there,
I am having a serious issue with The Power BI Data Management Gateway which I am hoping that someone can help me with.
Basically I am setting a connection between a Power BI demo site and a SQL 2012 Database based on Azure. The Data Management Gateway and is up and running, and Power BI has managed to connect to it successfuly.
By following the tutorials at
here I was able to successful create my Data Connection Gateway with a self-signed certificate.
However, when trying to create the data source I come into problems. The Data Source Manager manages to successfully resolve the hostname, as per the screenshot below:
Bear in mind that I exposed the require ports in Azure as endpoints and I managed to modify my hosts file on my local machine so I could access the SQL server hosted in Azure using its internal name -- otherwise I would not be able to get this far.
However the creation of the data source also fails when trying to created it whilst logged in the SQL server in question:
The Data Source Manager returns the error when using the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server:
Failed to test connection. [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied
I tried using the SQL Server Native Client 11.0 instead but I also get an error. This time the error is:
Failed to test connection. Login timeout expiredA network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible. Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. For more information see SQL Server Books Online.Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [53].
Some considerations
If I provide an invalid username/password, the Data Source Manager does say that the username and password is incorrect.
Firewall is turned off in the SQL Server (either way, this error also happens if I try top use the Data Source Manager whilst logged in the SQL Server itself).
SQL Profiler does not show any attempt of connection.
The SQL server instance in question is the default one.
The error happens regardless if I select the option to encrypt connection or not.
In SQL Configuration manager I can see that all protocols are enabled (TCP/IP, Named Pipes and Shared Memory.
The Event Viewer does not provide any further errors than the one I have copied in this post.
I'm at a loss here. Could someone please advise what might I be doing wrong?
Regards,
P.

Here is what I had to do to solve this issue:
Basically I had to add the MSSQL TCP/IP port as an end-point in Azure. After I did that, then I was able to create the data-source. However, I was only able to authenticate with a SQL account, as any domain account would return me an error saying that the
domain isn't trusted.
What puzzles me here is how come the Data Source Manager would inform me that an account username/password was invalid, but it would fail/timeout if I provided valid credentials (!?!?!!?)

Programatically change username and password if the data source

Hi all,
I searched but could not find the answer for how to programamtically change the username /password of the datasource created by the Servers tab under JSC2.
My database is Oracle and I use the logins to specify the security policy. So I would like to be able to use the username/password when the user logs in and use these info to make the connection to the database server instead of the ones I provide when creating the data source.
Thanks for your advice,
DT

The username/password can be set for the datasource via the CachedRowSet created for the datasource.
For example if you drop the sample Travel->person table on the visual designer a "personDataProvider" is created. Here's the code to set the username/password.
personDataProvider.getCachedRowset().setUsername("me");
personDataProvider.getCachedRowset().setPassword("mypassword");-David

How to Create ODBC Data Source (DSN) Programmably?

Create a data source and database tables using WSAD

Hi, guys:
the following is from a tutorial:
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/techjournal/0306_wosnick/wosnick.html
"To create the data source and Cloudscape database tables automatically, right click on the HelloWorldServer in the Servers view, and select the Create tables and data sources menu item. A dialog will then display showing that the data source and database tables were created successfully (Figure 5)."
I am using WSAD 5.0 trial version. I cannot find Create tables and data sources menu item if I right click on the HelloWorldServer in the Servers view. I am wondering if this is because trial version does not have this feature?
regards

This question is a little off topic but you may get a reply. Please note this forum is about Sun's J2EE SDK and its related technologies. You may have better luck posting your question to an IBM specific resource.

Where is the data source configuration in Jdev 11g?

Does anybody know where is the data source configuration in JDeveloper 11g? I want to create a JNDI data source using the database connection. Do I have to login the Integrated WLS to create the data source? Thanks.

Hi Chris,
Configuring the data source in Integrated WLS works for me. Thanks for your help!
Looks 11g didn't create the data source automatically in the App Navigator. I checked the deployed application directory - "Application Data\JDeveloper\system11.1.1.2.36.55.36\o.j2ee\drs\TestDS\adf\META-INF" and "Application Data\JDeveloper\system11.1.1.2.36.55.36\o.j2ee\drs\TestDS\META-INF". I didn't find the data source file - data-sources.xml. Then I started the web application and checked the Context, I can only find the data source which I defined in the Integrated WLS. It is interesting that 11g removed the JNDI list from the RMI bindings.
Also thanks to Nick for the information. We are migrating a Spring Framework application to Oracle and don't use ADF Business Components in this project.

Problem with the data source and web.xml

I have an issue where JSC is removing my resource reference:
<resource-ref>
<description>Creator generated DataSource Reference</description>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/localOracleDatabase</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
from the web.xml and sun-web.xml.
The application has been working great in the IDE for months then wham, no more data source definition. I try and add the reference manually and the IDE takes it out. I am "NOT" adding it to the .xml's in the build area. Why is JSC removing the data source entry?

This continues to be a problem. The only way that I can get around the problem is to drag a table from the data source onto the design pallete and then the datasource is added back to the web.xml. I can run fine for 10 or 15 runs then the entry is once again removed from the web.xml.
Help please!

Created new data source, does not appear in the list

Hi I created a new data source using information provided in http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/apis/pdstutorial/textPDS/PDS_1.html. But the new data source I created does not appear in the wizard. Could some body give me a clue? Can somebody point me to more detailed documentation on how to integrate a new data source into Reports Builder?
thanks
Srinivas

Hi
I desperately need help to troubleshoot why my data source is not appearing in the list eventhough I feel I have done things as per the tutorial. From reading the tutotial I am not clear -
- If specifying an icon is mandatory. If I don't specify an icon my datasource should still appear right?..without an icon?
- It is mandatory to implement the editor. I have hard coded things because I don't foresee any interaction by a user with the data source. There is just one column which WILL always appear if this DS is chosen.
- Finally in the integration instructions(http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/apis/pdstutorial/textPDS/PDS_5.html) they mention that the classes have to be compiled with "report build" , is that a tool?
thanks
Srinivas
