Reporting Services connections are getting dropped by Oracle RAC

My current customer is using Oracle RAC (11g) for their data store. They currently are using SQL Server Reporting Services to connect to it. We are experiencing an issue where the connection appears to be redirected at the server which causes the connection to be lost with the client.
I am curious if this is "by design" or if we need to review some configuration settings to better handle this.
We have 3 VIPs fronting the RAC and they are all specified in the TNSNAMES.ORA file.
Any feedback or input on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I suggest you look at:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/clustering/overview/awm11gr2-130711.pdf
and the similar paper from 11.1:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/clustering/overview/awmrac11g-133673.pdf
This explains the basic concept, of how clients should connect to the database, and probably clarifies your issue.
In generall Oracle will not redirect during runtime, only during connection time.
This however should not be of an issue, if you connect to a service. (You shouldn't connect to a SID since 8.1.7 anymore).
Regards
Sebastian

Report Assignment are getting dropped from report management

Hi Gurs,
For the Real Group substance, nine real substances has been assigned in report management. when Iam trying to create a report of new version for real group some of the report assignement are being dropped from real group. any idea why the reports are getting dropped.
Thanks in Advance
Thanveer Ahmed.

Hello Thanveer,
it seems to be that you are using SAP Enterprise Extension 2.0 (EH&S 2.00 version does not "exists" and has never been made available to SAP customers to my knowledge). This EH&S has been former known as EH&S 3.2. Actually EH&S does not get any version number any more.
Coming back to your question: the oss note you found seems to be the only one. I did the "same" research like you. So I have really no idea (may be place new OSS) because we are using an older EH&S version and there it works.
Coming back to your last remark:
Can you help me with all Functional scenario's for specification assignment on report management.
If you take a look in the actual help of sap you will find this page:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/en/a7/288aa30a6c11d28a220000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
(report Management (EHS-SAF-REP) => Report Managment Worklist => Specifiction Assignment
Here you will find a subchapter: Assigning specifications to reports)
In this chater this is explained:
Specification assignment can be defined differently for each report version. When creating new versions (or when replacing one version with another), the new report u201Cinheritsu201D the specification assignments of the previously valid report.
This reaction is what I would expact.
In my opinion the scenario which SAP describes there is clear enough. Again here is the story:
a.) you have a specification and you generate a report (first time). You release it (generation variant/Language combination) in version 1.0. Now in using cg50 you can enter on report header additionaly specifications regarding which the report is valid too.
Lets assume this: you have generated the report on specification A and added B and the report is "released". Now if you use cg54 and you use specification in an query A and B you will find total two released reports. The report on the level B is "inherited" from A (this is shown by using a different icon). Now if you generate version 1.1. on specification A (same geneartion variant etc.) the link to the specification B must be inherited to the new report header.
This functionality is in my opinion rarely used on SAP EH&S customer side. The reason is "simple".
a.) there is no mass update of specifications which should be added to the report header and the queriy which can be done there is "very" simple
b.) you need to take care about adding new specifications to the report header (becuase the version before does have a differnt number of specifications)
c.) the process to delete the link is not easy in daily work
In any case: please check the report distribution process. There are some pitfalls etc. inside so thet the report which is released on A can be used on B too in report distributon. Bit this is a different story.
To summerize: the process is in most cases to complex for normal EH&S users. Therefore other options should be analyzed.
With best regads
C. Bergemann
PS: you need to "save" the assignment in cg50; only an idea: may be you missed to do that

Service accounts are getting revoked when user/account gets revoked

Hi,
Service accounts are getting revoked in oim 11g while revoking the associated user or even revoking the account at resource level which should not happen as mentioned in developers guide.
It is cancelling all the provisioning tasks. Please let me know what should i need to check for this?

Kevin,
I used the changeToServiceAccount API method to change the account type to service. It updates the IsServiceAccount flag as Yes in the UI. But in DB, its showing null value for "UD_ADUSER_SERVICEACCOUNT".
But i could able to handle the moveServiceAccount API to move it to another user too.
Please let me know why the value in DB is not getting updated for "UD_ADUSER_SERVICEACCOUNT".
Is this the attribute to be checked at dblevel or do you mentioned something else?

Reporting Services connecting to a PowerPivot Workbook hosted on Sharepoint Online

Hi,
we developed a PowerPivot Workbook and published on our PowerBI site based on a Sharepoint Online E3 subscription.
We use it to display PowerView Dashboard and analyse sales results.
On-prem we also have a Reporting Services (stand alone installation) server where we have reports the connect directly to our datawarehouse based on a MS Sql Server DB instance.
What I would like to do is to develop a report in SSRS that connects to the PowerPivot Workbook published on our Sharepoint Online/Power BI site.
I tried following the instruction in this article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg413489(v=sql.110).aspx but using an URL like https://mycopmany.sharepoint.com/sites/BI/Documents/Workbook.xlsx and the correct Sharepoint Online credentials to access
the PowerPivot Workbook, I always get a "File Not Found" error.
I would like to know if what I would like to do is possible and how to do it.
Thank you,
Roberto

Roberto,
Is this still an issue?

Sharepoint 2013 SSRS Interaction with Sql Server 2012 Reporting Services connecting to Sql Server 2008 R2 database

Hi
I'm working on upgrading sharepoint 2010 to sharepoint 2013 with sql server 2008 r2. I've ran into some problems but have been able to get a test farm upgraded. However to run SSRS 2013 it seems Sql Server 2012 Reporting Services are required. Upgrading
to a full sql server 2012 database isn't an option. I know that sql server 2012 reporting services can use sql server 2008 r2 as a catalog and content database so I was wondering could this be a workaround? Importantly would I need a separate machine/virtual
machine to host sql server 2012 reporting services? or could it live on the sql server 2008 r2 machine? Any pointers appreciated. Thanks Dan

Remember that SSRS must be deployed on the SharePoint server. Having said that, yes you can install SSRS 2012 SP1 on a server running SQL 2008 R2. And yes, you can use 2008 R2 as your Database Engine server while SSRS 2012 SP1 runs on the SharePoint server.

Windows Error Reporting service connection failure

For some reason unknown to me, the Windows Error Reporting service has now decided that it cannot send crash reports to Microsoft.
I get the above error when I try to "Check for a solution" from Review Problem Reports Dialog. "Trying again later"
does not work. I've tried several recommended "fixes" including scanning for corrupted system files, making sure the WER service is running, and, checking firewall issues. Sending crash reports used to work, so, I'm at a loss as to why this is happening.
Can anyone shed some light on a possible cause?

Reports service connection restore

Hi.
Anybody had experienced the problem with reports service not being able to restore the connection to the database after database restart.
The scenario is like this :
1. both database and OAS reports are up and running
2. the database is restarted
3. after database restart the reports service i unable to connect to the database until the OAS is restarted too.
I am wondering is this normal behavior and if so is there any workaround to this issue so the OAS would not need to be restarted too.
Best regards.

Hi.
Thank you for your reply but as I told in my previous post the problem disappears as soon as I restart report server or the whole OAS.
The error in log file is REP-0501: Unable to connect to the specified database.
I have a filling there is a problem with report server not being able to restore the database connection after the connection is lost (for example database restart).
Best regards.

Connection keeps getting dropped on Windows XP machine

I have a 1GB TC (2008 model) that I am using as my network's wireless router. Ever since I started using it, it has been dropping my Windows XP SP3 system off of the network at random intervals (at least a few times per day). I'll try to reconnect, and sometimes it will let me back on immediately, but usually it will just get stuck on trying to connect or trying to acquire a network address. I have to keep trying over and over until it finally lets me back on (it took me about 15 minutes once). The Macs on the network appear to be fine.
I've looked this up and some people have said it was related to WPA2, but that usually meant the XP system wouldn't connect at all. I've also tried updating all the software and firmware, switching to Bridge mode and changing the channel to no avail.
Prior to the TC, I used my trusty Linksys router with no problems.

Apparently, my TC isn't entirely biased. TC is dropping my Macs now as well (including the one within an arm's length of the TC). It may have been all along, but I'm not sure since I mainly use the XP machine. From what I can tell, the XP machine gets dropped more frequently (several times a day).
I've tried several channels and downgrading the firmware to 7.3.2, but it's the same thing every time. I'm really regretting this purchase...

Xcelsius and Reporting Service connectivity

Hi,
I want to create a dashboard for my client and it is created by Xcelsius Engage Server 2008.
I tried to link this report with original source from Reporting Services by using feature Reporting Server Button.
When I previewed it in Xcelsius Engage Server 2008, it was perfect by the mean of data has been refreshed according to its reporting services data.
But, of course we don't install the Xcelsius Engage Server 2008 in the client side, so we must export it into .swf file or others.
I exported it into .swf files and it could not load from the reporting services data.
So what I would like to asked, is it possible to be done like this?
Or have I missed something?
Thank you in advance.

Ricky

Connect from MS ODBC to Oracle RAC

I always connected to our Oracle 9i database using MS ODBC in Excel 2007and Access 2007.
We recently migrated to Oracle 11g RAC which has two nodes. Have no problem connecting using Oracle RAC string with SQL Developer and SQL Plus to the the Oracle RAC.
For the client ODBC I cant seem to connect using the RAC String. The MS ODBC Excel and Access prompt for username, password and host. In the host I put in the entire RAC String and it never connects showing TNS issues.
Please advise.

You can provide any one instance name instead of the RAC string name so it can establish the connection.
Example: Username/password@RACInstance1
or
username/password@RACInstance2

Poor performance and unidasd connections are getting closed and re-opened

The problem is due to the unidasd daemon looking for some orphaned
Calendar users in LDAP and it is resulting in the snc broker dropping
unidasd connections (processes that handle LDAP connections) if the
result of an LDAP search for a Calendar user comes back with no match.
<P>
For "Found dead connection" of "Service = unidas" problems, you need to correct
the process of managing the Directory Server, i.e., always shut down the Calendar
Server before shutting down the Directory Server and then starting the Calendar
Server after the Directory Server has started. Or you may need to make sure the
Directory Server is configured properly, i.e., the parameter idletimeout should
be set to zero-- never timeout-- (see article 1783 for more info),
or you need to get the Calendar Server and Directory Server back in sync.
<P>
This last point can be accomplished by using a new Calendar Server tool, unidsdiff,
to identify any user or resource objects that are out of sync and another new
Calendar Server tool, unireqchk, to identify any user or resource requests
in the CWS queue that are no longer in the directory server. Both these tools
can be downloaded from http://help.netscape.com/business/filelib.html#caltools.
