Really bizzare SQL issued by BI server 11.1.3

From OBIEE answers I select one column from a single fact table using a time and location dimension. The SQL that gets issued by the BI SERVER to the backend database contains an outer join over a COMPLETELY UNRELATED Fact table, which produces incorrect results in the resulting data displayed under Answers (Analytics). All of the fact tables are modeled as separate Logical Tables with separate sources at the physical layer.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? What did you do to solve it?
Thanks.

Not sure if its an OBIEE 11g issue but if you define oute joins in BMM layer thats have multiple LTS.Sometimes OBIEE will behacve in such a way.

Memory leak issue with link server between SQL Server 2012 and Oracle

Hi,
We are trying to use the linked server feature with SQL Server 2012 to connect SQL server and Oracle database. We are concerned about the existing memory leak issue. For more context please refer to the link.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/psssql/archive/2009/09/22/if-you-use-linked-server-queries-you-need-to-read-this.aspx
The above link talks about the issues with SQL Server versions 2005 and 2008, not sure if this is still the case in 2012. I could not find any article that talks about if this issue was fixed by Microsoft in later version.
We know that SQL Server process crashes because of the third-party linked server provider which is loaded inside SQL Server process. If the third-party linked server provider is enabled together with the
Allow inprocess option, the SQL Server process crashes when this third-party linked server experiences internal problems.
We wanted to know if this fixed in SQL Server 2012 ?

So your question is more of a information type or are you really facing OOM issue.
There can be two things for OOM
1. There is bug in SQL Server which is causing the issue which might be fixed in 2012
2. The Linked server provider used to connect to Oracle is not upto date and some patch is missing or more recent version is to be used. Did you made sure that you are using latest version.
What is Oracle version you are trying to connect(9i,10g, R2...)

Can I create a file using pl/sql code in application server ?

I wanted to create a file(any kind of file .txt .csv .exe etc..) using pl/sql code in application server?

Files can be created by PL/SQL code and stored in the Oracle database as CLOBs. This a fairly easy and robust process. It runs entirely in the database. It conforms to transaction processing. The "file" (as a CLOB) resides in the database and can thus be secured via database security, is part of database backups and so on.
The basic issue is how to deliver the contents of the CLOB to the user. If via FTP, then the database can directly FTP the contents of the CLOB to the FTP server as a file. If via HTTP, the database can deliver the CLOB as a HTTP download directly to the web browser.
If the client is Java or .Net, then the CLOB contents can be delivered via SQL or DBMS_LOB or a custom PL/SQL interface.
In such cases, there is no need to step outside the secure and flexible database environment and create a physical o/s file in the wild (outside the controls of database security, data integrity and transaction processing). This is thus recommended and is the preference.

Powerview Cannot connect to the server due to a security issue. The server may not have been able to match the host for silverlight

Hello,
I have a sharepoint 2010 sp1 CU Dec 2011 server with a SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU4 reporting services instance. I am able to open Power View and use it normally when bypassing the ISA Reverse Proxy server. However when going thru ISA I receive the
following Error.
Power View Cannot connect to the server due to a security issue. The server may not have been able to match the host for Silverlight. This error appears after I click yes on an Internet Explorer Display Mixed Mode prompt.
I've seen a couple references to this issue but not much. This one mentions a clientaccesspolicy.xml file but I haven't had any luck with that. http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/716433/cannot-connect-to-the-server-due-to-a-security-issue-the-server-may-not-have-been-able-to-match-the-host-for-silverlight
Any Ideas? Thanks.
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
Based on my research, the issue should occur due to a by design behavior in Threat Management Gateway (TMG). To work around this issue, you can use SSL between the TMG and the SharePoint Web Server.
Hope this helps.

We've encountered the following issues: The remote server is not responding in a proper manner

I have never downloaded Adobe Creative Cloud/Suite/Photoshop basically anything for myself before and have just bought the Creative suite (£15.88/month) and am trying to install it to my computer (Windows 8). I have downloaded the Creative Cloud Set-Up but am unable to get any further than this. When I click on the download, it looks like it is going to download (Adobe Installer, Downloading Creative Cloud desktop and a loading bar) but then it tells me it has encountered the following issues: The remote server is not responding in a proper manner.
Now, I have been looking online for a solution and I saw something about changing an OOBE file in Program Files x86>Common Files>Adobe and at first there was no OOBE file so after more looking I thought I might have to download the Adobe Application Manager, which I did, but that doesn't work either, it just says unable to Reach Adobe servers, check internet connectivity (don't think there is anything wrong with this, I've not had any ther problems with internet connectivity) and firewall settings (i disabled the firewalls).
So I really have no idea what to do, the forums and help sites are confusing and none of the suggestions appear to work?!
Please help!
Thanks in advance!

HI Jneilon,
Try folowing the kb article : Error "Remote server is not responding" | Install and confirm if its working fine or not .
If you are behind a corporate network with network restrictions ? If yes, You might want to connect with your IT department and request them to white list the entries for Adobe as mentioned in the article : Creative Cloud Help | About Creative Cloud Packager

Reporting Services Point, remote SQL issue

I'm trying to install Reporting Services Point on a remote SQL 2008 R2 SP2 server. I select the SQL server under Servers and Site System Roles and it lists the site database server name, database name (should this name be the same as the DB found in Reporting
Services Configuration Manager?), folder name and reporting services server instance. I enter a new account that is a sysadmin on the SQL click verify and get:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
(provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified).
Ping works both ways, remote connection on this SQL instance are enabled, static ports configured, a rule to allowany is set in the firewall. Should I perhaps be entering the port (this instance uses a non-standard one) in the Add Site System Roles
Wizard?
If I open up Reporting Services Configuration Manager, the service is started, mode is native, a domain user account is used for the service account, web service URL opens, I even created a new DB. Report Manager URL opens.
SCCM itself uses the same remote SQL instance, so it appears connectivity works fine.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Thank you very much - CypherMike.
You helped me so much!!!
I installed the DB on another Instance so i had to change the port # and just here i found this info that i need to use comma to define the port.
Tnx

Problem with the SQL Data Source (Essbase server in Unix Env)

I too have the same problem.
I have setup the Datasource for an Oracle db in the Essbase Server (which is on a Unix Box) using the Oracle Wire Protocol.I tested the ODBC connection in the Server and it connect with the credentials.
But if i choose the same DSN in the EAS and try to connect i get the below error
Error: 1021001 Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server.
I even downloaded a document from the Oracle site.. on the SQL interface in Essbase but i could not find the inst-sql.sh file to enable Essbase SQL Interface on the server. Is this required??
I tried with both the User & System DSN on the server but no luck.
Any help on this will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Posting in a new thread since the old one is answered and no points available to score.

It can depend on the version, it is different for version 11, further information :- How to define a relational data source in (odbc.ini) V11 Essbase?

Certificates issued by communications server for client authentication

Hi,
we ran into problem with those certificates, that are being issued by the lync server itself. In our enteprise we have CX600 and CX3000 phones, and i know that certificate authentication is required for the phones to work (both for registrar and webservice).
However, now that users have lync installed, they have their communications server certificate assigned as well. The problem is when a user needs to sign a document with the certificate from our private CA, for most of the users, word or excel suggests to
use a certificate issued by communications server, not our ent CA. Maybe there is a way for LYNC to trust private enteprise CA and not give out its own certificates and STILL use certificate authentication?
Thanks!

Facing almost the same issue, Lync (server) issues ClientAuth certs from "Communication Server", (btw
is not trusted of course), and in turns forces users to make a selection of which VPN cert to use when dialing in, instead of only one ClientAuth cert installed, they now have 2 ClientAuth certs installed, which our internal CA's should care about and NOT
the Lync (server).
Don’t get how an MS product of this caliber can be built without proper PKI integration, how can it NOT utilize internally issued certs for client authentication???
Not the first though, SCCM and OSD is another example....
However, are you saying that Lync communication can’t be used without certificate authentication,
without the user being spammed with credential prompts?
Trying to get clarification on this…

Thanks Eve! I appreciate your attempt to help. I inadvertently posted my reply for the Route table without quoting you first. Sorry about that.
As far as the problems go, time to logon to server > 5 minutes. Group Policy issues abound. DNS issues (as mentioned). Thought I had an easy one for you. Sorry about that.
I have one client computer running Windows 7x64 (call it My Workstation) that I back the server and other client PC's up to. The clients have no problem, but after a day or two, the server can no longer "see" the My Workstation and the backup fails.
But then when I reboot the My Workstation, the server "sees" it again!
Furthermore, I backup a 10TB RAID 6 array on
My Workstation to yet another client for redundancy (Call it WORKSTATION2-PC), but if I try to click on the computer icon in Windows Explorer for WORKSTATION2-PC, I get the error "Windows cannot access \\WORKSTATION2-PC. However if I type in
the ip address or WORKSTATION2-PC, I have no problems.

Issue in Weblogic Server - Server Stops abruptly

Hi All,
I am facing an issue with Weblogic server(8.1). One of the managed servers stops abruptly. Server run for some days. After 5 or 6 days it stops without giving any log message. Admin(mgt server) and this managed server are running in the same box(AIX Environment). Below is the only log I got. Any idea why it is happening?
According to the BEA Message it may be due to network problem. Since both the servers are running in same box, i don't think it is network issue.
Can anyone please help me on this? - thanks in advance

I think you should be able to follow the same steps but whenever you come across Domain B in the instructions, just substitute the values for Domain A. Because it is the same domain you may not even have to go through some of the certificate steps. If you have questions I suggest you post them in the WLS Security forum.

Presentation variable is not supported in "SQL Issued"

hi, there is a presentation variable called @{ps_var} from a prompt
and I have written a custom sql and typed in "SQL Issued"
!http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/8673/customsql.jpg!
I found that the presentation variable is not supported in "SQL Issued" (exception flows when I clicked the "Set SQL" button.)
(in the captured screen, it is hardcoded as 'REPLACED_BY_PRESENTATION_VARIABLE', no error occurs when I clicked the "Set SQL" button. the result is correct.
however, when 'REPLACED_BY_PRESENTATION_VARIABLE' is replaced by @{ps_var}, exception flows when I clicked the "Set SQL" button.
is there an alternatives to avoid the error ? or any ways to assign the selected value from the prompt to this sql ?
thank you very much!

Just set your presentation variable with an other method.
Check here you will find how you can set a presentation variable for a filter

Color Shift - Save To Web - There really is an issue

OK, Every article I have read about this topic indicates that the user does not really grasp colour management fully. However, I'm going to stick my neck out, and suggest that there really is an issue with either PS or Fireworks CS5, and here's why.
Create a new document - maybe just 100x100px, and choose "Don't color manage this document" when creating it. Fill it with a solid colour, I used RGB 24 16 44 - a dark blue. Now, we have an un-managed swatch.
Save this to web as a JPG, making sure that no conversion to sRGB is taking place (Convert to sRGB is unchecked). In the Save to Web window, you can hover over the swatch and see the colours are still RGB 24 16 44 - so far so good...
Save it as a JPG at 100% quality, just to be sure. Also, save it as a 24bit PNG.
OK, now do something similar in Fireworks... name your files accordingly...
Now open the files in the opposite applications. There SHOULDN'T be any colour shifts at all - you are dealing with raw, un-managed RGB files. However, the JPGs in both instances have shifted. PNG files are spot on.
Can someone explain - without being a terse smart arse - exactly what is causing this? And please, if you are going to glibly refer to some FAQ or such, supply a URL. Sorry, I know the vast majority of folks here are helpful, but I find the quality of some replies aren't worth reading.
Steve

I think you can deduce the reason by looking really closely (literally, zooming in) at how .jpgs are constructed. There is a grid of sampling areas (the size based on the quality setting) and each 'block' is like a little gradient, that is the trick that jpg uses to compress. If the program could not change a colour, it would not be able to compress.
Non-lossy formats (eg: zip) look at compressing the data, if it sees a chain of 300,000 zeros, it logically says 'put 300,000 zeros here', that is quicker than literally writing the zeros.
Lossy methods look at the colour of a group of pixels and then substitute them with a mathematical gradient that averages out the content of the block and where you have little detail, the compression is greater because the little blocks are easily described as bland gradients. (bland blends? hehe).
That is why final file sizes in jpgs are variable for the same pixel dimensions, a fact which has baffled many here, because a complex image cannot be averaged out as easily as a plain one.
Again: If the program could not change the colour of pixels, it would not be able to compress in this way.

Execute sql script in oracle server

hi how can i run an SQL script in oracle server in every first day of the month? i dont want to run that script manually every first day of the month.

What OS and version are you running?
You can schedule this from the OS side as well if you don't want to use the scheduler.
In linux you can make use of the crontab:
crontab -e
#then paste the following lines with the path to your scripts
#.---------------- minute (0 - 59)
#|   .------------- hour (0 - 23)
#|   |   .---------- day of month (1 - 31)
#|   |   |   .------- month (1 - 12) OR jan,feb,mar,apr ...
#|   |   |   | .----- day of week (0 - 7) (Sunday=0 or 7) OR sun,mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat
#|   |   |   | |
#*   *   *   * * command to be executed
00 01 1 * * /<path to your scripts>/script_name.shThe above script will run on the 1st day of every month at 01h00.
your script (the one you are calling in the cron) will have to call the sql script and should look similar to this:
#export all your environment variables here
# for example
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/<your path>
export ORACLE_SID=ORCL
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
sqlplus user/password@DB @/path/your_sql_script.sqlHope this helps

VCM installation help needed on SQL DB and Reporting server

Hi All,
I'm new to VCM and now i got stuck at the SQL DB and Report server portion.
I'm running the vcm server on VM and the SQL is a physical server, both are sitting on the same LAN.
I have create the SQL DB but VCM just fail to validate the DB and report server.
I login to VCM using a Domain account for installation, and i tried to testing the DB using ODBC from the window, result fail.
Error message as attach.
I'm now totally lost on SQL portion.
My Question:
Is there any configuration needed on SQL DB?
How to get the reporting server to working?
What port is needed to it all working??
VCM server Ms Win2012.
SQL version 2012.
Many thanks to all who reply.

Hi Simonhoo79,
For SSRS, first check whether the report server link is accessible from your browser : "http://s01-fes-vcm1:80/ReportServer" . If you continue to get 404 error there also, then you need to reconfigure you report server first before proceeding to vcm installation. Follow the steps on below link on how to reconfigure report server using report services configuration Manager for 404 error.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/75910bcb-a879-4eb7-9757-acc45201fa3a/can-not-connect-to-reportserver-http-404-file-not-found?forum=sqlexpress
For SQL server ODBC connection,
Dont create ODBC connection for SQL Native Client. Create ODBC connection for SQL Server.
1. Open ODBC Data Source Administrator
2. Click User DSN tab and Click Add button.
3. Select SQL server and click finish
4. Give name and description and Give the SQL server name (with instance name if your using named instance) or IP in the Server text box.
5. Click Next and select either Windows authentication or sql authentication based on your SQL server authentication mode and click next.
6. If the details given are correct then it will proceed further and check "Change the dafault database to" to your VCM database
7. Click next and finish and try test data source.
VCM 5.7.2 and below will support installation only on windows server 2008 R2 and it doesn't support windows server 2012 but it support both 2008 and 2012 sql servers.
