Excel Error When Using Microsoft Data Link

I   have   a   user   who   is   running   the   following:
Windows   7   w/64   bit   OS
MS   Office   2010
SAS   9.3   Software
They   created   a   database   in   Excel   and   have   integrated   the   information   with   SAS   9.3   database.
For   some   reason,   now   when   they   try   to   'Refresh'   data   in   the   Excel   spreadsheet,   Excel
freezes   and   then   crashes.
I   believe   it's   because   the   'Microsoft   Data   Link'   is   failing,   during   set-up.    Below   are
the   error   messages   they   get,   when   trying   to   set-up   the   'Microsoft   Data   Link'   with   the
SAS   9.3   software:
ERROR   MESSAGES:
1.   Microsoft   Data   Link   Error:   Test   connection   failed   because   of   an   error   in   setting   the
window   handle   property.    Multipl-step   OLE   DB   operation   generated   errors.    Check   each   OLE   DB
status   value,   if   available.    No   work   was   done.    Continue   with   test   connection?    Yes   or
No.
2.   Microsoft   Data   Link:   Test   connection   succeeded   but   some   settings   were   not   accepted   by
the   provider.
I   don't   know   where   to   begin   troubleshooting   this   issue,   as   I   don't   use   the   SAS
9.3   software,   nor   have   I   ever   attempted   to   use   the   'Microsoft   Data   Link'   option   in
Excel.
TROUBLESHOOTING   I'VE   TRIED:
Repair   of   MS   Office   2010
Uninstall/Reinstall   Excel   2010
Any   assistance   would   be   appreciated.

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.
Did this issue occur with other database program? Such as Access, SQL sever or other?
If the Excel still crashes, I recommend we collect the Event log and App crash dump file to do further troubleshooting. You can try to analyze dump by
yourself if you would like to：
How to analyze app crash dump file:

Also you can send them to us via Email ([email protected])
If the issue occur with the SAS 9.3 software, I recommend you connect it's provider or support to get more help.
Did you
use 'Microsoft Data Link' like this?
If it was, we may need to debug the connecting string, you can post the question to Visual Studio forum.
Hope it's helpful.

How to use a data link file (UDL)

Hi,
several times I developed applications using Crystal Reports 2008 which used a data base on my development PC and when I deployed them on a production server I had the problem to change the Data Source Location to reflect the new Server name and SQL Server Instance. Moreover, this had to be done on the server, because CR 2008 check the new data source location when you change it, and because I was not connected to the server I couldn't do it on my development pc.
I thought that the data link file was the solution to this problem, meaning that CR2008 could use a data link file (UDL file) as a data source location, so when deploying the reports on the server I had only to point the data link file to the new server instance.
With my surprise, I have seen that when using a data link file to define the data source in CR 2008, it copies the definition found in it, instead of using it at run time. SO when I deploy the reports on the server I still have the same problem to change the data source location for all the reports.
Perhaps I didn't understand the data link file use. So, how do I solve the problem of using a data source location that can be valid when deploying the reports on a server?
Thanks

Report help for multiple Date Select options

Hi Friends,
For a particular year wise report, the client wants 12 date select-options which are changeable and informal every year .The report will also be displayed as per the given date selection period wise. Please help me how to fetch the datas from the table as per the given selection period. Currently the report have one date select-option where the user gives selection range as 1.04 to 31.03. It's related to EB power consumption report and hence the new requirement on date selection which are informal and not a fixed date of every year.
Ex:Selection-Screen
Period 1 : 08.04.2008 to 12.05.2008
Period 2: 12.05.2008 to 20.06.2008
Period 3: 21.06.2008 to 28.07.2008
Period 4: 29.07.2008 to 15.08.2008
Period 5: 15.08.2008 to 21.09.2008
Period 6 : 21.09.2008 to 14.10.2008
The data will derive as per the above selection ranges.......
Please advise with example.
thanks & regards
Sankar.

Hi,
In this case just derive all records matching dates between 08.04.2008 (low in first select-options) and 14.10.2008(high in last select-options.
Also my advice is to use a single select-options and prompt the user to give the dates as ranges in the multiple entries dialog which can be opened by clicking the button on the right side of the select-options.

URGENT : how to change the report to use two date sets

Hi,
I have a summary report with the name of the sales agents and their total sales for the period from so and so. Now I need to run the same report to be able to see their total sales but from two set of dates, for eg. the same report for 2006 and 2007, side by side to compare the sales done by these agents.. to get an idea if their performance is improving, etc. How do I do this??
The report already has two parameters date1 and date2, so in this I can give the date as from 01-JAN-2006 to 31-MAR-2006. But in the same report, I also need the total sales from 01-JAN-2007 to 31-MAR-2007, so that it can be compared.
Please advise. Its urgent. Its for the chairman.
Thx.

Error using External Data Link

I just downloaded the trail of Visio Pro 2013 to test our the ability to reverse-enigineer my Data Warehouse db, running on postgres. After getting the ODBC connection configured and tested, I was given a list of the tables in the DB I connected to. First
of all it doesn't appear to let you pick all of the tables to bring into your drawing, so I gues it's 1 entity (table) at a time. I picked a table and then an an error occurred: Microsoft Visio cannot connect to this data source. Then there is an error code
80004005: Error relation stdw.public.dimcalendar does not exist. Not sure how it can't exist all of a sudden since I pick the table from the list Visio gave me after getting connected to the DB. I tried another table, same result. What happened and how can
I get this error to go away? Thanks.

v2013 does not support reverse-engineering, the feature was dropped.

Help using javas inbuilt Linked List class

I'm trying to create a LL of ints using Javas inbuilt LL class.
I declared it using it: LinkedList test = new LinkedList();
Now the Java API says it takes objects, is there a way of declaring the LL so that it takes ints, or a way of adding ints to the above LL?
Thanks

Integer.valueOf(int) gives an Integer object that wraps the int. If you're using >= 5.0, then autoboxing will do that for you, so you can just do list.add(someInt); Note, however, that it's still an Integer object, that's being stored, not an int primitive. If you want to store primitives, you'll have to define your own class or download a third-party one.

How to create a report using XML data source from Crystal Report Designer

Hi,
Iu2019m having Crystal Report Designer XI R2 SP4. Iu2019m trying to create a report using XML data source stored on disk. This is a customer order report and the xml is structured in such a way that it has an order details header part (master) and then it has several order lines (detail). One order line can have several order line characteristics (detail-detail). So what I need to know is now I can design this layout from the designer. If this was done using views I can do it with sub-reports but using xml data this seems to be different. Can you help me to design this layout? I have included the xml and xsd as well.
Thank you in advance.

Chanaka

Hi Sourashree,
Thank you for the response and ideas you have given me so far. I can get the fetch the data from the data source without any problem. That is I do the following,
1.     New Report
2.     From Create New Connection-> XML
3.     Provide the u201CLocal XML Fileu201D and have u201CSpecify Schema Fileu201D checked -> Next
4.     Provide the u201CLocal Schema Fileu201D -> Finish
Then I can see the following under XML
+ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
        CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
And from here if I add the following three I can get all the fields I need to the report
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
Then I come to the Linking section. Here I canu2019t link anything. There is a common field called u201CInternal_IDu201D but I canu2019t link using it. So I get a message when I click Next. From here I add all the fields.
For this point onwards only I need help. How do I group, add fields and design the layout so I can get an report output as follows.
Date

How can I achieve this kind of a layout using the give xml and xsd? Should I use grouping if so how should I do the grouping?
I have included the full xml and xsd in the first mail I posted but I canu2019t see it now. I can include that again if you want.

BI 4.0 w/ Windows AD SSO, but Crystal Report (mdx) prompt login data

Hi guru,
We have been struggling for a while on the sso issue between BI 4.0, AD, BW, and CR.
Our architecture is not complex:
1. A BI 4.0 (BOE) on Tomcat (windows)
2. Backend SAP BW as main data source
3. AD, SAP Authentication are configured in CMC
4. User can login to Windows Desktop (login to Win Domain) and then link to BI Launchpad w/o giving password (Windows SSO), it works.
5. Crystal report can be published via BW to BI/2.0/.... folder on BI
But one thing still not working:
Our crystal report (using mdx for data accessing to BW) keep asking database login credential when a BI user login via Windows SSO. We want to get rid of this prompt and want to use a mapped R3 account for db access. each windows AD user has a corresponding mapped r3 account configured in CMC. We have tried, but not working.
The only way we got to avoid the prompt is to remove bwmdx from Crystal Report SSO Config in CMC and manually change the published CR report to use "original data login" as well as assiging the r3 credential. But we have to do it for each CR report.
Anyone have done this before ?
Is it possible to Login via Windows SSO and then view CR report w/o giving pwd ?
Or we have to do some special setting while making the report ?
Or users have to login by R3 account to get such SSO ?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for prompt reply, My answer is:
No, SNC is not enabled.
Since BO can get data via the following 3 method from BW, so I'm not sure whether SNC is a must (just for CR SSO)
Universe(UNV) --> BW
Universe(UNX) --> BW
OLAP --> BW
OK, if SNC is a must to link AD SSO to BW SSO, what kind of SNC (client vs server) should I configure ?
Thanks

Help Using a webservice to report back very large data

Hi All,
I am in the process of creating a web service to report back lots of data according to some input params, I am using axis2 to test the soap message.
Now the problem, the webservice will be collection data from the live database which is attached to a web application. It has high usage and I don't want to affect there service.
Do you think it will affect there service and we would be better to report against a backup database or something?
Also a client can request data on a certain user just a plain string ID in the wsdl file (data returned will be very large user history), now I was thinking would it be best to keep this as a single users input or create a array of stings with a max length (set in a xsd property)?
My idea was it might be better that someone just implements another client with single ID and get data for each users, therefore the request could be called
Customer * number of users
Or they array XSD will allow them to report on say 10 at a time?

Hi Steve
It seems like you have alot of different versions of Crystal Reports and Business Objects products and you are getting them mixed up a bit. It can be confusing.
So basically you want to access Crystal reports via the BO SDK and you want the reports to connect to web services.
1. Creating the Report
Since you have BOE XI R2 my guess is that you have a copy of Crystal Reports XI R2 or R1.
Create the report with XI because it comes with a special XML Web Services data source driver. My guess is that you already have the web service created.
2. Publish the report to BOE XI.
Using the report designer publish the report to BOE (Save As).
3. Write code to view the report.
If you need to change the datasource at runtime then you will want to use the Report Application Server (RAS) SDK to do that. If you are only changing the data source to move from Dev/QA/Production then you may not want to do this task at runtime. In the CMC you should be able to change the data source for migration purposes.If you truely need to do it at runtime then you want to do RAS.
Here's a sample to get you started.

Issue using data link in XML Publisher

Dear All,
I am new to XML Publisher, for the first time trying data link concept in XML Publisher tool. The issue is very simple, I have two queries Q1(say it fetches sales_order_number, application_name ) and Q2 (say it fetches sales_order_number , error_number, error_description). And sales_order_number is passed as input using data link to Query Q2 from query Q1 and Q2 will retrive more than one row for a given sales_order_number.
Say for a given dept_name 1001 the output will be something similiar like
Q1:
SO# | Appl.Name
1001 | 'Invoice '
Q2:
SO# | Error.# | Error Desc
1001 | 1512 | No Data Found
1001 | 1513 | Invalid Entry
1001 | 2674 | Error while inserting the record
and the query which I have used in XML template goes like this
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q1">
<![CDATA[select sales_order_number, application_name
                  from T1
                 where sales_order_number = :in_sales_order_num]]>
</sqlStatement>
<sqlStatement name="LINES">
<![CDATA[
select sales_order_number , error_number, error_description
from T2]]>
</sqlStatement>
<link name="Dummy_LINK" parentQuery="Q1" parentColumn="sales_order_number" childQuery="Q2" childColumn="sales_order_number" condition="="/>
</dataQuery>
<daraStructure/>
And the grouping is as follows
<group name="G_Q1" source="Q1">
     <element name="sales_order_number" value="sales_order_number"/>
     <element name="application_name" value="application_name"/>
<group name="G_Q2" source="Q2">
     <element name="sales_order_number" value="sales_order_number"/>
     <element name="error_number" value="error_number"/>
     <element name="error_description" value="error_description"/>
</group>
</group>
And in the RTF template I have properly used <?for-each:G_Q1?> <?for-each:G_Q2?>- --
<?end for-each?><?end for-each?>
Ideally the header (Q1) should have one row and the lines (Q2) should have 3 rows. But the issue here is even Q1 produces 3 rows.
If in case Q2 has 4 records, then Q1 also plots 4 records in the report output. Hope I am explaining the issue correctly. Any help to resolve the issue would be a great. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Antony.

try like this
<?if: (TYPE='A') or (TYPE= 'B')?><TABLE STRUCTURE><?end if?>

Data links Questions on Reports Builder

We are currently using Reports Builder 10.1.2.3.0. We are trying to create a topology report. So, we have about 5 queries in the data models which are linked using a query links with Child Destination column in the child query.
So, here is the example:
Q1 --> Q2 (joined with Q1 child) --> Q3 (joined with Q2 child) --> Q4 (joined with Q3 child)--> Q5 (joined with Q4 child).
So, the problem we are experiencing is when Q2 has same child twice, the Q2 query is actually sending the same child id to Q3 twice (or however many times its repeating). Is there any way to distinct the child so we get only one child sent to Q3?
Here is an example:
Q1
Parent Child
A1 B1
A2 B2
A3 B3
Q2
Parent Child
B1 C1
B1 C2
B2 C1
Q3
Parent Child
C1 D1
C1 D1
C2 D3
Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You are on the right track, here is how our structure looks like:
Query1
Street, City
Query 2
City, State
Query 3
State, Country
And Queries are linked using group links.
Here is an example:
Query 1 results:
Street1 City1
Street1 City2
Query 2 results:
City1 State1
City1 State2
City2 State3
City2 State1
Query 3 results:
State1 Country1
State1 Country1
State2 Country4
State3 Country5
Note: example is not realistic, i know. just wanted to give you picture.
So, the repeating frame for Query3 gets Stateid from Query2 one by one rather than collect it and distinct it, hence the duplicates. I hope this explains it.

Custom BW Report by using this two data soucre

Hi All,
           I am working on CRM 5.0 & BI 7.0
1. I am having Data source( 0BPARTNER_ATTR & InfoObject : 0BPARTNER )
    this data source have all my custom fields & one more data source(0CRM_BPSALESCL_ATTR) it is having some fields
2. This two data source are giving data in RSA3
2 . I have to create custom BW Report by using this two data soucre
    i am new one to BW
   so plz kindly help me step wise
i ll Reward for helpful ans
Thanks & Regards
Ganes R

Ganesh!!
Build a logic between the two objects 0BPaRtner and 0crm_pssalescl, how are they related and find if you can link them. If that is the case then you can build infoset or MP between the two objects and create a report against the Provider. If the two objects are completely independent, then you can create APD and feed the transactional ods from two reports from each Object and write a report from the transactional odb. The only disadvantage with this is you have to load the data frequently.
Hope that guides you to the right direction.
thanks.
