Problems updating a linked table

Hi,
I am running a win 7 with Excel 2013, 64 bit, Swedish version. I try to update a linked table in the data modell and get an error message saying:
============================
Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A03EC
============================
Call Stack:

   at Microsoft.AnalysisServices.XLHost.Modeler.ClientWindow.FixLinkedTableExcelTableName(LinkedTableInfo tableInfo)
   at Microsoft.AnalysisServices.XLHost.Modeler.ClientWindow.UpdateAllLinkedTablesClick()
============================
The file is saved as .xlsx so there shouldn't be a compatibility problem. I have also tried removing the added rows to make sure the added data didn't contain any bad data and running the file on a different computer but the problem keeps showing up.
Anyone having any ideas on how to solve this?

Problem to acces linked table from Microsoft Access 2010

We have a couple of MS access databases that have linked tables from oracle Database. When the user try to view the content of the table it gets an error saying that the table or view does not exist.
But if i create a new MS access db and link the same tables with the same user, we are able to view the content of the table. So it does not seem to be related to permissions...
If we delete the linked table and try to re-attached them we got the same error
Anyone have a clue ?

It looks like this is a question that should be addressed in our ORACLE ODBC community, since it has to to with MS Access links to an Oracle DB via (I presume) an Oracle ODBC driver.
This community is for Oracle Heterogeneous Gateways. That is, Oracle DB links into 3rd party databases.
Thanks!

"People Picker" field not letting update SP linked table in Access

Hello all,
I have linked a SharePoint list to an Access database in order to manipulate some data. This list contains several fields, including a people picker in which its data come from SharePoint.
Once in my Access DB, I need to update some fields of this list, however when I try to change some values from a record that has the people picker populated I get the following error message: "you cannot reference rows created
when you are disconnected from the server because this violates the lookup settings defined for this table". I only get this when I have values on people picker, I can proceed without any problem when I have it set as blank.
So, do you have any idea on how to accomplish an update operation while having a people picker field populated?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Pedro,
I recommend to check if the user populated in the RequestBy exits in User Information List in SharePoint site and the choices listed in Access for status field are existed in SharePoint Status column.
Please refer to this thread for more details:

Problem updating multiple SQL tables

Hello,
We are using Hyper-V with Windows 7.0 Enterprise SP1 as guest OS, on Windows 8.1 workstations to be able to run multiple versions of a Application we are working with.
This software is used to setup and store large configurations in a database (Acess, SQL Server, Oracle...). ODBC Manager is used to establish connections to all databases we use. The Application uses many forms, each saving data in a specific table.
All is working good except when a form tries to update multiple tables (master-details); only the first table (master) is updated and we experience a crash from the Application. The problems seems to come from the fact we are running this Application in
a Hyper-V VM...
In all, 3 similar workstations, with Hyper-V setups, are experiencing this problem. Workstations with he same version of the Application installed (NO Hyper-V) are able to update the same databases successfully.
I tested with Oracle and SQL Server (both local and on network server) with same result. I can use Access successfully for this operation, no problem both locally and on a net share.
I will continue to test trying to trace with a local SQL Server instance but would like to get ideas what to look for. I suspect Transactions but yet to find a error message which could help me pinpoint the problem...
Any help appreciated at this point !
Thanks,
Michel

Hi Michel,
>>All is working good except when a form tries to update multiple tables (master-details); only the first table (master) is updated and we experience a crash from the Application.
Please try to allocate static RAM same as workstations' to that VM to check the result .

Elton Ji

BRFplus: Problem updating values in an internal table in a loop expression

Hi
I'm looking into the loop expression type of BRFplus and I have come across a problem updating an internal table, I'm trying to create and populate the table using a loop, here is the functionality I'm trying to achieve:
In a rule set create an internal MONTH_TBL table containing 12 rows of two columns: MONTH_NUM containing values 1 through 12 and MONTH_VAL containing an amount (initially 0,00 EUR in all 12 rows).
After initializing the table traverse through SFLIGHT table and for each row add PRICE from the table to MONTH_VAL in the row of MONTH_TBL corresponding to the month of FLDATE field in SFLIGHT.
The initialization of MONTH_TBL works as intended, as does the traversal of and retrieval of values from SFLIGHT. The problem however is the update of the internal table MONTH_TBL (defined as result data object for the function). I don't get an error, but the tables does not get updated, and I cannot seem to find out what the problem is. I would have attached an XML extract of the function + ruleset for information, but it dosen't seem like that is possible, I could e-mail it on request (for SAP employees with access to system QU5 the function is LOOP_TEST in application Z_KLAUS_TEST).
I hope that this is sufficient information to understand the issue that I'm dealing with.
best regards
Klaus Stenbæk, KMD

Hi Klaus,
The Loop expression is part of NW 7.02 which is not yet released. When you experience the problem as part of a test you should have a contact at SAP for dealing with problems/errors. Usually SAP-internal messages are used for this purpose. Please clarify with your SAP contact how the model is.

Question about linked tables

I want to create a table and am using sql8 as back end.
My front end is Access. I want to create a button in the access form that will update certain values in a table in the database. I dont want to add the database in the access form.
I am thinking of creating a linked table getting values from the main table and create a linked table from it. Then i was thinking of updating the linked table by adding it up to the access form and using a button for the update query.
Would it work.
What wud be the syntax to create a linked table from the main one and wud the updates show on the main table if i update the linked table.
Is there an alternative to it.
I do not want to use any triggers though.
Ashish

Hi
update tables are temporary table that are refreshed by v3 job.update table is like buffer, it gets filled after updation of application table and statistical table through v1 v2 update . we can bypass this process by delta methods.

Oracle 11gr2 ODBC - error updating linked table (Ora 01722 and 01461)

Good day folks,
My shop has just moved to 11gR2 client and server. We were previously using 11gR1 with no issues (and before that, 10, 9, 8, etc). After moving from 11r1 to 11r2, we began getting errors from some of our MS Access ODBC applications with linked Oracle tables. The error would occur when executing an UPDATE statement that had a table join in it. Here is a simple example:
UPDATE TableX SET TableX.Fieldx = “valuex” WHERE TableX.Fieldx = TableZZZ.Fieldx AND TableZZZ.fieldzzz is not null
Currently, after moving to 11r2 client, an update query like the one above will error out in one of the following ways:
- odbc -- update on a linked table failed - Ora 01722 invalid number
- ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column
- Or it will say that the records were not updated because they are locked.
In some cases, I have noticed some records being updated that were not supposed to be updated.. records that the where clause was meant to exclude. That is very unsettling.
I understand that perhaps an update statement shouldn’t be joining table and perhaps it should be done over a couple calls, but the reality is – this code is out there in abundance and if there is a solution that doesn’t amount to my changing all this code or reverting to 11gR1, I would love to find it.
Since the query runs fine using SQL Plus and also runs fine if I run it against a local table in Access rather than a linked Oracle table – I figured the issue was possibly with the Oracle 11r2 ODBC driver. So, I switched the Oracle ODBC driver (sqora32.dll version 11.2.0.1 with version 11.1.0.7), and the problem went away.
I believe this verifies the issue resides with Oracle ODBC version 11.2.0.1. Can anyone help? I'm assuming it's not particularly wise to simply swap sqora32.dll files on all my clients machines, so I am searching for an actual solution here instead.
I also did performed ODBC tracing to see what Access is handing to the Oracle ODBC driver. I then used database or SQLNet tracing to see what the ODBC driver was handing off to SQLNet/database.
The results are in the following post:
Thanks guys!!

Updating HS ODBC Linked table

Hi,
I am trying to update a mssql linked table via HS odbc ultimately as part of a trigger, however the problems I am getting seem to be confined to the update statement, I seem to get a lot of "not supported" errors regardless of the method attempted.
The first attempt at the trigger was -
create or replace trigger emds_epd_status_caldate_trig
after update on emds_epd_status
for each row
declare
new_caldate emds_epd_status.calibration_date%type;
begin
new_caldate := add_months(-12,:new.calibration_date);
update inst_inventory@epdtrain
set calibration_date = new_caldate
where serial_number = :new.epd_id;
end;
ORA-02070 Database EPDTRAIN does not support TO_NUMBER in this context.
So attempting a simpler test
SQL> update inst_inventory@epdtrain
2 set calibration_date = (select calibration_date from emds_epd_status
3 where epd_id = 00037253) where serial_number = '00037253';
set calibration_date = (select calibration_date from emds_epd_status
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-02070: database EPDTRAIN does not support subqueries in this context
Thanks very much for any guidance as to how I should go about this in ORACLE.

Update All Links Problem

Problem: Links will not stay updated in inDesign. After each time I place images, I get errors in pre-flight and then I must go to links panel and 'Update All Links' and pre-flight goes to green. After the next Place, the errors return. Preflight tells me the files have been modified, but they have not to the best of my knowledge.
Computer: 2012 MacPro (Mavericks, now Yosemite (same issue with both). Adobe CC updated. I have even uninstalled CC and reinstalled to try and fix. I do not use an external or network drive (for storing project files or links) and do not change folder location after starting a project.
Workflow: I use inDesign for creating photo books primarily. I am very organized with folders on my system and build all client work in the same place. I use one folder for each client book and I never move the folders. Inside the Client Book Folder, I create one folder called 'Images' (I have also experimented with calling it Links to test). I usually save the indd file in the root client folder outside of the Images folder.
Place: I primarily use Bridge to Place Images in inDesign (also use Cmd-D inDesign) to place images, same results either way.
The images have already been retouched, so I rarely leave inDesign to edit. I mainly layout complete books
Preferences: I have tried every combination in File Handling, Links, etc that I am aware of. I have only been a heavy inDesign user for about 2 years so I am expecting to feel stupid when I fix this problem, but I cannot figure it out on my own. I have no corruption in files or problems exporting, but I must constantly 'Update All Links'.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
mike

I have never personally seen this happen, but it only takes one placed object to have changed for the InDesign preflight to indicate that the links are out of date. If you keep any of the asset open in another program, even if you aren't changing them, perhaps that is triggering this behavior.
Another possibility would be some type of continuous backup process that is marking the file attributes in some way that make InDesign see the file as modified. InDesign does not actually go “inside” the linked assets to see if they are different, but rather looks at modification dates of the linked files. And ironically, even if a file is not actually changed, if it is opened for read/write in another program or possibly if its backup metadata is changed, the file's modification date may reflect this. Just a thought to check out.

Problem: insert id, when table is updated

Hello,
I have a Problem:
I have an external table which is permanently updatet and I access this table by a database link.
My problem is, that this table hasn't got an ID column,but I need one to build an interesting Application. So my idea is, to create a view in which you can see the main table through the database link and an column with an ID....
But this ID must be updatet permanently when a new row is insertet into the main table!
I hope you understand what I mean....
And I hope you can help me!
Thanks,
Tim

You can use Sequence for this.
SQL> CREATE SEQUENCE SEQ_1 INCREMENT BY 1
2 /
Sequence created.And use a trigger before insert.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TRG_TAB1_BRI
BEFORE INSERT
ON TABLE_1 -- Your table
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
    SELECT SEQ_1.NEXTVAL
    INTO :NEW.ID -- Your ID Column
    FROM DUAL;
END;Sarma.

Problem regarding updation of Z-table through maintenance view

hi ,
I m facing problem in updation of Z-table through maintenance view (SM30).
The scenario is that I have one customizing field in my Z-table which is checkbox.
Now I need to populate 2 fields in Z-table on tick of this checkbox and clicking of SAVE button.
For this I have created one module ''change_field'' in PAI.
Actually my database table is being updated but as soon as the control left my module all the updation that take place vanishes away.....
So please help me in this matter.

Thanks for ur previous effort it is updating the database but its effect is not shown immediately on screen.After i referesh the transaction it is dispalying the data.
So can u please suggest me any way....
Now i have one scenario infront of me....
I need to restrict the data shown in maintenance view.
I think it would be same as pop-up window displayed when we tick on 2nd radiobutton ("ENTER CONDITIONS")
of intial screen of t-code SM30.
Please suggest what shud i do....
Thanks and reagrds,

VPD problem: select for update on join tables with policy on ref table

In our application we use VPD. Now we ran into an issue. I will try to explain with EMP and DEPT table.
EMP table has no VPD attached.
DEPT table has VPD policy that forbids all updates, but allows select. (Policy returns '1=2' for statement type update.
This query returns no rows:
select * from emp join dept using (department_id) for update. This makes sense, because I'm going to update both the tables.
However:
select * from emp join dept using (department_id) for update of employee_id also returns no rows. THIS IS WRONG. I'm not going to update dept table.
Any experience with this. Is this a known limitation ?

I can see all the rows, because there is no select policy.
However the point is, that VPD should allow me to update the emp table, because there is no update policy.
With the 'for update of employee_id' clause, VPD should recognize that I'm not going to update the dept table, but only the emp table. But VPD does not recognize this, but applies the update policy of dept to the statement, making the statement to update no rows.
(Reason behind my question is ADF Business Components, where you have ViewObjects with Referenced Entities. ADF BC generates this type of statement and now we run into this VDP limitation)

Problem Set Linked Table

Hi to all,
Im using SAP B1 2005B SP:00 PL01. I created a UDT. Now iv created a UDF in a master form from where i want to link the values of the UDT to this field.. Now wen i go to use the SET LINKED TABLE option the length automatically gets set to 8.. Now wen i try to add the field i get the erro saying "Alphanumeric Column size cannot be decreased." Help would be appreciated
Regards
Aris

Hi Aristotle,
To resolve this, please follow the instructions below:
1.        Create the UDF with Type - Alphanumeric and Structure - Text
2.        Now check the box Set Linked Table - note that the structure is regular again.
3.        Now add the table and the error is displayed.
4.        Now uncheck the box 'Set Linked Table' and set the Structure to Text again and recheck the box 'Set Linked Table'.
5.        Now add the UDF and see that it is sucessful.
Regards,
Adrian
