SharePoint DataSource selection

In our development farm, after a content database migration, when I click on the '...' ellipsis button to browse for a
Shared Data Source I get a rubbish error pop up and when I use the correlation ID to find the error in the ULS log, I find this load of nonsense...

I'm usually pretty good at deciphering these but I can't fathom this one.
Any thoughts or experience of this issue?
I'm 99% certain that it's not a permissions issue but there's a niggling 1% doubt.

Hi N03L,
As per my understanding, I think this issue can be caused by the original account that was used to create the *.rdl files and the data connection library was removed from SharePoint. So we encounter the error message that “System.NullReferenceException:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.” In this scenario, we can download the *.rdl files and delete the existing ones. Then modify their data sources using Report Builder and upload them back through an existing user account in SharePoint site.
Or we can add the original account to the Members group again.
The following thread about the similar issue is for your reference:

If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

ODBC data sources not showing up in datasource selection list

when I go to change datasources for a report, newly created ODBC connections do not show up. I noticed they are all in the odbc.ini file and listed under ODBC in the machine directory/software folder in the registry but not under the current user/software/odbc registry folder. Where does Business Objects/Crystal reports cache this information?

OK, then how do I set up a connection pool for a SQL Server database? At some point, I have to configure a connection pool. In the Call Interface dropdown, isn't ODBC the proper choice? Then, in the Data Source name dropdown, I should get some entries, right?

Timestamp as DataSource selection

Hi all,
I have created a generic data source with some timestamp fields as selection fields. I can see them in RSA3, and it works fine.
However after replication, I do NOT see these fields as selection fields in BW. I tried to flag another field in the data source as selectable, and this field can be seen in BW, but not the timestamps.
Is timestamp not possible to be used as selection field? But why can I see it in RSA3?
Thanks!!

HI Wang,
The reason for unable to see a delta specific feild in BW selection is that, the data source is already using this for selecting the delta records and hence we cannot again do a selection on the same feil.
So, its like this. Any feild can do only one among these, either selection for loading from BW or delta specific feild, where system on its own uses for delta identification.
Hope its clear.

Sharepoint Reporting

Hi,
I am working with sharepoint 2010. I am having a Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate Trail Version. When I Add Report Wizard [RDLC reports]item in visual studio 2010 it gives us an option to select different data source types. There one option is Sharepoint
datasource type. After selecting the sharepoint datasource it gives me an Add Service Reference window. I gave the lists.asmx(web service proviceded by microsoft ) webservice of my sharepoint site to the address type. Although it successfully added to
the datasouce but its not showing in the datasource window of report wizard. Basically i am looking for a client side reporting against sharepoint lists. Here are my specific questions
1. How to work with the sharepoint datasource type of the client report wizard?
2. Can I generate a RDLC report against lists of sharepoint site which later can be converted to .rdl type(since the sharepoint OTB report viewer only support rdl files.)?
3. How to work with local mode reporting in sharepoint 2010(As i know, there is no BI template available for 2010 !!)?
A step by step description will help me more... (sorry i am Junior :))
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kannan,
We see the same behavior you are seeing. I can create a second data source using Object to select the item class from the SharePoint Service reference. To actually get the data though, I’m having to do a Linq query and populate the data source
by hand. I’m trying to find out if there is an easier way to do this.
In regards to the RDLC to RDL, see the following:
Converting RDLC Files to RDL Files
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252109.aspx
In regards to working with local mode reporting in SharePoint 2010, there are two possibilities depending on what you are doing exactly.
1. Reporting Services Add-In with RDL reports in Local mode
a. See the following:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff487969.aspx
b. This is limited to Access Data Sources, SharePoint List data sources or no Data source. If you want to do anything else, then see item 2.
2. Custom Web part using Report Viewer Control with RDLC Files
a. This would be like any other RDLC processing using the Report Viewer Control.
b. In regards to working with RDLC in general, this is a good starting point -

SharePoint Foundation 2010 Workspace problem

I've installed sharepoint foundation 2010 in a Windows server 2008 R2 standard environment. I've added some site collections and added some libraries to the site pages. Ive put in various permissions and groups and tested no problem using
Sharepoint workspace 2010 on a Windows 7 32 bit client.
But when I do a remote desktop connection to another server with 2008 R2 standard installed I can't get Sharepoint workspace 2010 to work properly. It opens an account and connects to my sharepont site but in the pane to the right where I would normally
see library documents listed all that comes up is an error stating - Error: Cannot Display Tool.
Also if I try to sync I get the following error:-
The parameter is incorrect
HResult: 0x80070057 (0x386d7565)
Process: Groove.exe (ID:17936(0x00004610))
No amount of googling has found a solution, no similar postings had any resolutions.
Any help would be much appreciated

My apologies. I'd focused on the error and hadn't adequately read the information you provided on the environment. The issue is probably with using SharePoint Workspace on the remote computer, not with SharePoint Foundation.
Here is what I understand you to be doing:
You use Remote Desktop to connect to the Windows Server 2008 R2 computer, where you log in with your domain account, which is a member of the local Users group.
On the remote computer, you start SharePoint Workspace.
On the Launchbar, you click New, click SharePoint Workspace, select your site, and then click
OK.
The workspace is created and appears (from the progress bar) to download content.
When you click Open Workspace, no content is displayed. Instead, you see the "Cannot Display Tool" error.
Is that correct?
There are three areas where SharePoint Workspace is complicated to run remotely:
Where SharePoint Workspace will be run by a user other than the one installing it, it must not be lauched during the installation. This seems the most likely to be the issue, as we have seen the same failure and error at a customer site where several
users had been given a computer image created on a computer where SharePoint Workspace had been launched before image creation.
Only one user should run SharePoint Workspace (Groove.exe) at a time. (Sometimes multiple instances work, but it's not reliable.)
You need to have a local profile on the computer which is running SharePoint Workspace. SharePoint Workspace is not supported with Roaming or Temporary profiles. Usually, this problem would prevent you from starting SharePoint Workspace, but some
environments with custom permissions can lead to other errors.
SharePoint Workspace uses the current user's permissions for SharePoint server access, In the case of Forms-Based authentication, it prompts for credentials at workspace creation, but then uses the credentials in the active browser session when opening
the workspace. I think this could only be related to your problem if you are logged in as another user in your browser, and that user has access to some, but not all, of the site your workspace connects to.

If I want to order by dateAdded to I have to include it in the select statement like

If I do this:
<cfquery name="chart" datasource="#datasource#">
select behaviourID,score, dateAdded2 = convert(varchar,
dateAdded , 101)
from staff_charts_data
where userID =
<cfqueryparam value="#arguments.userID#"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer"> AND
NOT score = 5
</cfquery>
If I want to order by dateAdded to I have to include it in
the select statement like so:
<cfquery name="chart" datasource="#datasource#">
select behaviourID,score, dateAdded2 = convert(varchar,
dateAdded , 101),dateAdded
from staff_charts_data
where userID =
<cfqueryparam value="#arguments.userID#"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer"> AND
NOT score = 5
</cfquery>

you should be able to order by dateAdded without it being in
the select clause. The only time the order by field has to be in
the select clause is when your query has an aggregate and group by
clause, like this:
select field1, field2, max(field3) as youralias
from sometables
where whatever
group by field1, field2
order by ???
You can only order field1, field2, max(field3) or youralias.
You can't order by field4.

How to submit InfoPath form data to multiple SharePoint lists at one time?

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to submit certain data in InfoPath form to separate SharePoint lists at the same time. I have a form that has two views with many data in them. I want to keep these data in separate SharePoint list besides keeping them in the XML. I know that you can submit to a form library using SharePoint document library data connection, but I'm not sure if you can use several data connections for submitting data to multiple SharePoint lists. Is it only possible to do using code? If yes, can anyone show a sample. I have never coded in InfoPath, though I used C# a lot in .Net.
Thank you!Regards,
R.D.M.

This is an old thread but I tripped over a codeless method to do this with OOB InfoPath 2010 and SP 2010.
Assuming your main InfoPath form is published to a document library with the promoted fields that you want to see.
Publish your form to a new document library to capture the secondary data fields that you want separated out.
Using the Publishing Wizard do the following:
Go to – File then Publish
Select SharePoint Server “ Publish form to a SharePoint Library”
Enter location of your SharePoint or InfoPath Forms Services Site:
accept the default in this field from the first published event
Next screen, keep the default or change it, Form Library, Site Content Type or Admin Approved
Next screen, What do you want to do?
Create a new form library
Add new document library name and description
Next screen, Remove all promoted fields not applicable to the new library and add all of the ones you want to see data for.
Click Next and Publish
Come back into the form: If you don’t have buttons added directly to the form to submit or update, add them.
Create a new Action rule on the button
Label the rule to keep it straight
Condition, occurs when button clicked
Add action, Submit data
Use data connection to the second library created
Create a second new Action rule on the same button
Label the rule to keep it straight
Condition, occurs when button clicked
Add action, Submit data
Use original data connection to the library
Then you can add another action to close the form or do whatever you need.
Republish the form to both libraries to set the template for both.
File – Publish – SharePoint Server
Select Secondary library from drop down follow the rest of the prompts
Follow step 5a again, select Primary library from drop down, Add back in all of the promoted fields needed for the primary library and follow the prompts.
DOCUMENT YOUR FORM WELL FOR MAINTENANCE
Special considerations, your primary library needs a unique ID to reference in your secondary library.
Your secondary library will need a unique ID that is not related to the primary if you are going to store multiple records for a single primary library reference.
Example: One form, multiple updates.

BW Metadata is incomplete error while generating datasources using CTBW

The variant configuration datasources were created successfully in development system and BI side works fine in dev.
We moved the VC datasources to our Quality system. Since our QA system client (500) is different from development (100) ECC system, I need to change the client number in QA ECC (as 500) and regenerate VC datasources using CTBW tcode [based on OSS note 588184].
I used the following steps in QA ECC system
go CTBW tcode in QA ECC
Changed the client number from 100 to 500 for the VC datasource
Selected the VC datasource row and then click on Characteristics
Click on DataSource -- got the error "BW Metadata is incomplete"
Not sure what is reason for that error message, Please advise if I am missing any steps.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for your quick response.
We have same issue as mentioned by Sudheer.
We don't have QA 500 client number in our Dev system, I can't generate the VC datasources in DEV.
I can't change the tables in CLBW_SOURCES in DEV to include 500 as we don't have it.
Let me know if this works for me
I am asking BASIS to open QA 500 client so that I will make CLBW_SOURCES table entries change (from 100 to 500) and then re generate the QA VC datasources.
Then load the data into SAP BI.
My another question is even if we are successfully, we have another development box (similar to the first dev box) and another Quality box say Quality 2 (900 client, same as Quality 1), do I need to ask BASIS again to open Quality 2. Also what about production box..?
It would be great if we can change it in first dev box so that we can move across these changes to different boxes.
Thanks again

Save and Send to Sharepoint error

I'm using Microsoft Word 2010 and a sharepoint 2010 site.
And I'm having troubles with file locations when saving files back to sharepoint library.
First, when I open a file from sharepoint site, edit and try to save, the default location is not the location of the library the file was at.
If I try to do 'File>Save and Send> Save to Sharepoint' and select a recent location,
or if I click onfind location, I get the following error message:
Could not Find http://xxxxx.xxx/DocumentLibraryA/FolderA
The only way I'm able to save is via 'File>Save as' and input the url on
the file name field.
This issue is not happening with every computer I try to open files from sharepoint. On some other computers, I am able to open the file from the library and it comes with the default location, and if I do 'File>Save
and Send> Save to Sharepoint', it opens normaly.
Does anyone knows how to fix this?

Adding a field in data selection tab of Info Package

Hello,
how can I add a field for selection in the data selection tab of the info-package in BW 3.5.
Thanks,
SD

Hi,
You need check Selection in RSO2 in ECC then that field is available for Selectgion in InfoPackage.
Here I'm giving 0CUST_SALES_ATTR DataSource Example for Selection Change, so see the logic and accordingly you can change your DataSource Selections.
See the properties of that field in RSA2 in ECC and you can also make it for selection, use the following program and see it.
In ROOSFIELD table give the datasource 0CUST_SALES_ATTR and see , select only Active version Fields.
For the following fields you can find FIELD = X, it indecates that it is abailable for selections, so in this way you try to do it by using following program and check.
KUNNR
SPART
VKORG
VTWEG
REPORT ZBI_ROOSFIELD NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING .
tables ROOSFIELD.
Update ROOSFIELD set SELECTION = 'X' where
OLTPSOURCE = '0CUST_SALES_ATTR' and
FIELD = 'FAKSD '.

Please help me on this,
Thanks & Regards,

Bhanu its field type is DEC thats why its not coming in selection screen in Infopackage .This is a big problem in our Development as this field is SPRIO(Procurement Priority) and we want to restrict this field with conduction SPRIO EQ 1.
Our DataSource is based on Infoset , Bhanu is it possible to restrict this Field in Infoset writing some code. As their is option in Infoset for CODE we tried this but didnt work.

Problem with Datasources

I Guys I am new to BW, I activate a Datasource in RSA5, but when I try to replicate in BW I cannot see it, Do I have to create a Source System for R3 for this to work. I went to SM59 and create a RFC pointing to the Client I want to extract the data.
Thanks You in Advance.

Hello ,
Please use the below procedure :
1- Go to Transaction RSDS and enter your Data Source name and Source System ( you can check your source system if it is already available )
If your source system is available, then goto datasource table and select replicate data source .
Another Option :
,Go to transaction SBIW in the source system choose Business Information Warehouse-- Business Content DataSources --Transfer Business Content DataSources
Select the nodes in the application component hierarchy for which you want to transfer DataSources into the active version..
Alternative you can Go to Data Warehousing Workbench. Transaction RSA1
Select the Datasource tab--select your application component --and right click --replicate meta data .
Now if you have not connected with Source system first ask your Basis Team to make connection between R/3 source and BW system .
If this task you have to do then follow the instruction given in below link :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/ac/4a4e38493e4774e10000009b38f889/content.htm

Select query with numbers

i have an index on my site, which select bands by the letter
that is clicked
<cfquery name="results"
datasource="#APPLICATION.DataSource#">
SELECT *
FROM artist_art
WHERE bandname_art like '#url.firstletter#%'
</cfquery>
http://www.musicexplained.co.uk/index.cfm
thing is, im trying to group all bands that begin with a
number together, and am unsure of the symbol which refers to "all
numbers" in coldfusion..
Have looked everywhere, but this place seems to be the only
place with the answers lately, so...
thanks

I only got the substring thing from dan, never heard of them
before....
anyway, on my site i have an index that works fine with
letters.....when you click on a letter on the index page, this
letter gets passed to the url, which then powers the query
SELECT *
FROM artist_art
WHERE bandname_art like '#url.(a-Z)#%'
i now need to cover numbers in this index as well, as some
musicians band names start with numbers.......this website achieves
what im referring to
http://songmeanings.net/ using
the # symbol in the index to select any artist whose name starts
with a number
thus what im looking for is a symbol that refers to all
numbers...so i can say
SELECT *
FROM artist_art
WHERE bandname_art like '#url.(anynumber)#%'

Select records from MS Access tables using multiple conditions

Hi,
I am trying to build s select list of team names for a
sporting club website. The select list should include teams if the
currently logged in user is a coach, team manager, assistant coach,
player or a parent of a player.
When I have only one group of conditions in the where clause
it works fine. But that only accounts for one of the above roles.
As soon as I ad an OR and another set of criteria my CF7 server's
swsoc.exe goes into an permanent loop (well, at least 10 minutes, I
reboot after that :-)
For example, this works fine ...

<cfquery name="teams"
Datasource="#Application.Datasource#">
SELECT distinct teams.uid_team, team_name, uid_coach,
uid_team_manager, uid_coordinator, team_asst
from teams, player_agegroups, players
where
(player_agegroups.uid_team=teams.uid_team and
players.uid_user=player_agegroups.uid_user
and teams.uid_season=#session.season# and
players.uid_invoice_to=#session.userid#)
Order by team_name
</cfquery>
But as soon as I add another condition cf7 goes into a
loop...

<cfquery name="teams"
Datasource="#Application.Datasource#">
SELECT distinct teams.uid_team, team_name, uid_coach,
uid_team_manager, uid_coordinator, team_asst
from teams, player_agegroups, players
where
(player_agegroups.uid_team=teams.uid_team and
players.uid_user=player_agegroups.uid_user
and teams.uid_season=#session.season# and
players.uid_invoice_to=#session.userid#) or
(player_agegroups.uid_team=teams.uid_team and
players.uid_user=player_agegroups.uid_user
and teams.uid_season=#session.season# and
players.uid_user=#session.userid#) or
(player_agegroups.uid_team=teams.uid_team and
players.uid_user=player_agegroups.uid_user
and teams.uid_season=#session.season# and
teams_uid_coach=#session.userid#) or
(player_agegroups.uid_team=teams.uid_team and
players.uid_user=player_agegroups.uid_user
and teams.uid_season=#session.season# and
teams.team_asst=#session.userid#) or
(player_agegroups.uid_team=teams.uid_team and
players.uid_user=player_agegroups.uid_user
and teams.uid_season=#session.season# and
teams.uid_team_manager=#session.userid#)
Order by team_name
</cfquery>
Any combination hangs CF7, whether it be two, three or all
conditions, and any combination of conditions..
The teams table stores team name, coach, team manager,
assistant coach and coordinator. Players table stores the player
records, and the parent (uid_invoice_to), is part of the player
record. player agegroups has the teams, with a record for each
player in a team. The whole system is based around seasons, hence
the #session.season# variable.
What should happen is I get a very short list of teams. When
I select a team from the select list I then go and grab all the
player records from the player_agegroups table joined to the users
table to get their names, date of birth etc...
Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?
thanks
Tanya

You might try to change your query using a SQL JOIN command,
so you can link the appropriate tables independently from the WHERE
selection criteria. You could use Access to create the query and
then go to the SQL command view to get the correct synyax.

Content presenter: datasource based on CMIS query with URL parameters

Hi all,
I am trying to create a page containing a content presenter taskflow that is based on a CMIS query containing URL parameters. In my component properties I define the following query for my datasource:
+SELECT * FROM ora:t:IDC:GlobalProfile WHERE ora:p:xqblIntranetSubGroep='${param.qblSubGroep}'+
I have a URL parameter qblSubGroep containing the value "Nieuws".
Somehow my page does not show any content. It looks like the parameter value is not passed to the data source query. When I change my query to
SELECT * FROM ora:t:IDC:GlobalProfile WHERE ora:p:xqblIntranetSubGroep='Nieuws'
so, I hardcode the value of my URL parameter in my query, the expected content items are shown.
Also, I have another page containing a content presenter taskflow for a single item, based on the data source:
+${'WebCenterSpaces-UCM#dDocName:'}${param.dDocName}+
In this case, URL parameter values for dDocName are passed correctly and content presenter is showing the document with dDocName as entered in the URL.
Does anybody have any idea on how to solve this probem?
regards,
Harold

hi all
when i try using cmis query with Arabic characters it display no results .
SELECT * FROM ora:t:IDC:GlobalProfile WHERE AND ora:p:xAgrPressMag LIKE'جريدة الرياض'
this is the query i am using and the value inside ora:p:xAgrPressMag is correct and i try search this value inside content presenter normal search and it display results i am afraid that cmis query doesnt accept arabic characters
any suggestion please its top urgent
best regards
