Test Connection with strange character
Hi, when I try the "Test Connection" in Schedule Data Refresh, it gives me a warning with strange characters. Even if the upgrade goes however successful.
Hi Gianluca,
This is a known issue and we are working to fix it. Please ignore this error and try scheduling refresh on the workbook.

Testing connection with Oracle thin driver
Hi !
I am testing Oracle connection from dos prompt and I get the SQL Error SQLEXCEPTION.
How do I connect Petstore to Oracle database? When I test the connection I get error message that java.sql.SQLException No License: weblogic.comon.LicenseNotFoundException. The file is in weblogic home directory.Hi Sree !
Thanks !
After I ran the SetEnv.cmd, this is working and I guess I am ok now to use this
connection pool.
Thank you very much.

this should work fine. for out of box usage, just goto the the folder

the above command from the same shell.
This command is not testing connection pool. its making sure that you
can

Unable to establish Visual studio load test connection with Test Controller
When i try to add test controller in visual studio error message shown "can not communicate with controller version mismatch "
can any one please tell me its solution ??Thanks for
M.Radwan's help.
Hi Fahad5388,
According to your error message,
I agree with M.Radwan's opinion. If you used TFS, I think that you’d better make sure that you
used the same version for VS and TFS.
Reference:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/7dfb0537-f300-4644-8878-297312f4028a/unable-to-configure-test-controller?forum=vststest
As far as I know, if you want to used test controller or test agent for VS, you need to sure that you used same version test controller or test agent
for VS.

Portal Test Connection Failed for JDBC Connector
Hi,
We are trying to create a JDBC system in EP to connect SQL Server 2005 database. Our aim is to build a model in VC using data services from SQL Server 2005.
We deployed the Driver file sqljdbc.jar and connection was successful when tested by creating a data source in Visual Administrator-> JDBC Connector
We have created a system in EP with user mapping type (admin,user) and user mapping also done for system alias with the SQL Server administrator user id and password. UME is maintained in ABAP Stack. When we try for test connection with the system created in EP for JDBC connection, the system throws an error message like Connection failed. Make sure user mapping is set correctly and all connection properties are correct
Test Details:
The test consists of the following steps:
1. Retrieve the default alias of the system
2. Check the connection to the back end application using the connector defined in this system object
Results
Retrieval of default alias successful
Connection failed. Make sure user mapping is set correctly and all connection properties are correct.
The following are the URL and driver class name:
URL: jdbc:sqlserver://<host_name>:1433;DatabaseName=db_ name
Driver class name: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
Is there any other setting to be maintained in the Visual Administrator or in the Portal?
Kindly let us know any clue to overcome this issue.
Quick response highly appreciated.
Regards
Saravanan.rHi Saravanan and Sathish,
not sure how far you got with this. I had the same problem or at least a very similar one with access to MS SQL Server 2005 and solved it. I followed essentially very similar steps with a couple of minor twists:
1) copied the sqljdbc.jar file to the storyboard server and set the classpath environment variable to point to it.
2) I did not create a data source, just created a new driver "SQLServer".
3) Under Connector Container I cloned SDK_JDBC as "SDK_SSQL".
4) The Visual Composer property vc.bi.sqlEditor Enabled should be set to true for you to be able the SQL Editor in the Data Service in VC.
In the portal I created a system of type BI_JDBC from a template.
The connection url and driver class were as in the thread:
URL: jdbc:sqlserver:ipaddress:1433;DatabaseName=name
Driver: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
ConnectionFActoryClass as above under 3.
User rights: admin,user
The user mapping to the system alias should be as described.
This should allow you to use the data service in VC to access SQL Server tables. If access to stored procedures (sometimes quite useful) is required, this would need to utilise the p9sqlserver.jar file already on the server.

Connection Test issue with newly created INTEGRATION_DIRECTORY_HMI in PI7.0
Hi Pals,
Due to change in password for user "PIISUSER" in our system, i changed the login credentials in sm59 -> INTEGRATION_DIRECTORY_HMI.
But the test connection failed, popping up the username/password login dialog again and again.
So i deleted the RFC Connection "INTEGRATION_DIRECTORY_HMI" and recreated it with all the care mentioned in the XI installation guide, manually, step by step.
But again the test connection failed, popping up the username/password login dialog again and again.
I tried this exercise for almost 15 times but without success.
NOTE: I am able to login with "PIISUSER" from SAP system Login successfully.
Looking forward for your kind suggestions.
Thank you!
Saravananhi
could be the problem with password..we also faced the same problem while using an alphanumeric one.
after changing to a completely numeric one it started working fine

Strange character in facebook in Chrome. After messing with Helevetica neue
Hi everyone,
I have this strange character in facebook in chrome.
First of all, before this problem arise, I was messing around with helvetica neue font to display properly in google chrome, and also I deleted many international fonts using monolingual program.
What is seems the problem? How do I get it back to normal.
thanks.alimx wrote:

Those are characters from Apple's Last Resort Font. It indicates you have deleted stuff you should have left there. I recommend you not use Monolingual and similar apps. The risk of serious damage to your OS is not worth any possible benefit. -
Strange Exchange name when connecting with Outlook 2013 to Exchange server 2013 SP1
I've setup a test environment with Windows Server standard 2012 R2 and Exchange Server 2013 SP1...
In- and outbound SMTP works fine, as well as connecting with OWA and Mac Outlook client...
Oddly though when setting up an Outlook 2013 connection....it recognizes the email address correctly, but later on can't connect and shows a dialog to enter the server and email account manually....though the profiled fields show something like:
Exchange Server: [email protected]
Mailbox: =SMTP:[email protected]
When I fill in the right fields....it won't connect and falls back to the values above...
Something wrong in the Exchange setup?Hmm...found aguide here:
http://enterpriseit.co/microsoft-exchange/2013/ssl-certificate-request/
Though it doesn't mention anything that with the self-signed certs it won't allow Outlook 2013 to connect...
So from my point of view Outlook 2013 should be able to connect anyway...as during the connect process you can install the self-signed cert.....so must be something else then... -
I still have problems with getting my website online. I have defined my server. Then I did the test and there was a connection via FTP. I put my files on the external server and there is a connection with the external server. But when I check to see my website online (with Firefox, Explorer, Chrome browser) I always get the message 'Forbidden, You don't have permission to access / on this server.' Can somebody help me please? I have to get my website online..Thank you!
Hello Els,
it's well known, that in all these cases you describe I'm not a friend of a detailed Troubleshooting (I see Nancy#s smile already).
To be able to be independent in all this things It is one of the reasons why I prefer an external FTP program. The difficulties with which you have to fight encourage me in this opinion, not least because we always search for experts, we don't charge a "jack of all trades".
To manage several websites or to upload my files and sometimes for the opposite way, for a necessary download from my server or to use a "a site-wide synch", I'm using FileZilla. It simply looks easier for me to keep track of all operations precisely and generate or reflect easily the desired tree structure.
Above all, FileZilla has a feature (translation from my German FileZilla) called "compare file list". Here it's possible to use file size or modification time as a criterion. There is also the possibility to "hide identical files", so that only these files which you want to redact remain visible.
And even if it means you have to install a new program, I am convinced that there is an advantage. Here is the link to get it and where you can read informations about how it works:
http://filezilla-project.org/ and http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Tutorial#Using_the_site_manager
Mac: Mac OS X (Use: Show additional download options)
http://filezilla-project.org/download.php
Of course, you also need all the access data to reach your server and for MIME issues, you should contact your web host/provider.
Good luck!

SQLDeveloper i18n problem while connecting/testing connection to oracle DB
Hello,
i've got a problem with connection to oracle server if there's a number (or some other strange character?) in SID/SERVICE NAME, after pressing "Test" button I get just Exception:
Status: Failure - Test Failed: oracle.i18n.text.converter.CharacterConverterOGS.getInstance(I)Loracle/sql/converter/CharacterConverters;
If I skip the test and save the settings, connection to database (expanding + in the list) will do nothing.
I'm using correct username/password/hostname/port, I've checked it many times.
I've tried to change database name from TEST9 (it's erroring on this one) to something else and server return exception about non existing database, so connection parameters are ok I think.
I'm using fedora 8 with JDK1.6 and latest SQL Developer package.
Thanks for any help.I would file an oracle jdbc bug to begin with, but I am guessing the driver is simply waiting
for the DBMS to respond, so yo may need a good DBA to see what the DBMS thinks is going
on at the time. I did hear of a case where the DBMS was doing some auditing, logging
some info during every login. This info was being written to an OS file which just happened
to be remote-mounted and would occasionally take 30 seconds, which caused connection
requests to timeout at the driver end.... WebLogic is just asking the driver for a connection
using your properties, so it's not involved directly with the problem.... -
We have a number of users all of a sudden getting "No connectivity with the server. The file 'xxx' can't be opened because the server couldn't be contacted." errors trying to open MS Office docs (Word, Excel, etc.) in SharePoint with IE,
just by clicking the link and selecting the "Read Only" option. If they select the "Check Out and Edit" option, they can open the document no problem. One of my customers gets the error on one document but not the other, in
the same document library! The older document (a weekly report) was copied and renamed as per standard procedure. She can read the older document, but not the new one.
It is definitely a profile issue, as other people have logged onto the machines of the users with problems and do not get the error. We have also renamed people's c:\user profile folders and the corresponding Profilelist registry entry and the newly
created profile does not experience the error for these people. Renaming the profile back restores all their personal settings but the error reappears. When we copied the old profile's folder structure into the new profile, many of the user settings
were restored (but not all, like Dreamweaver settings) but the error did not appear. We think that the system folders files (like AppData) weren't totally copied over so we're going to run another test using xcopy. We are rebooting between
logons to make sure all files are unlocked.
The laptops and computers are mainly 32bit, Win7 Enterprise running IE9 and Office 2010 Professional Plus, but there's a few 64bit machines as well. The SharePoint farm has 1 WFE, 1 App Server running search and CA, and a shared database server running SQL
2005 SP4. SharePoint is 64bit MOSS 2007 with the latest CU.
We've checked the logs on the client as well as on the server and there aren't any helpful entries. We've also run Process Monitor, also with no helpful entries. We're planning to run something like Fiddler next.
It's not everyone, because there are many people are accessing the SharePoint system and the same files. It is also not a permission thing, as we've tested by giving the users elevated permissions with no changes. One person experiencing
the errors is a Site Collection Admin. That same person ran a test where I coped a simple Excel file into a Document Library which contained a problem file. They were able to open it Read Only no problems that day, but the next day, the same
file gave them an error. In their case, they usually get a "xxx is not checked out" error and only occasionally get the "No connectivity with the server" error.
We've tried lots of things including:
Deleting IE cache
Deleting SharePoint Drafts and webcache folder contents
Running IE without add-ons
Upgrading and Downgrading IE
Uninstalling and re-installing IE
Reinstalling our SSL certs
Repairing Office
Removing and then adding back in the Microsoft Office "Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support" Office Tool
Deleting all HKLM and HKLU Office registry settings
Toggling IE Compatibility Settings
Toggling the IE Automatic Logon option
Toggling the location of checked out files
Adding the site in the trusted sites list
Adding the site to the WebClient\Parameters registry locations
Making sure the WebClient service is started
Rebooting the machine (lol :)
This is becoming a serious issue, not just because of the inconvenience for the users having to check out every document they want to read, but we have some files with macros that open up other documents to run which are now failing. There aren't
"check out" workarounds for some of those macros.
We're planning to open a ticket with Microsoft, but I'm throwing it out here first in case someone has run into this before, or may have some suggestions on what to try next. Thanks!

PS I think this needs to be in the "General" forum instead?It took three days of dedicated troubleshooting, but I have found the cause of the errors, and a couple of fixes. It helped tremendously that my own machine was throwing the error. I have scheduled a couple of users to work with me to test the
various fixes, to see which one works best, so the story isn't over yet.
I had backed up my c:\users profile folder and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList registry key so I could restore my profile after I was done. I made a copy of the profile folder and was using that for awhile,
but then made another copy where I had deleted a lot of content out of it so that the copies would go faster. Since a newly created profile did not have errors, I was trying to copy back as much of the profile as possible to make it easier for our users
to get back to work. Instead of blowing away their profile and starting from scratch (which we know worked) I wanted to narrow down what was causing the error and just skip that from the restore. The concept was to keep as much as the users profile
in tact (application settings, etc.) not just restoring their desktop and My Documents folders.
When we first tested a few weeks ago, simply copying the folder contents didn't reproduce the error. I then tried xcopy, but got the "can't read file" error. Then I tried robocopy, and ran into the "junction" problem.
I went back to xcopy, and found that placing the excludes.txt file in the windows/system32 folder eliminated the error.
So the process went as follows:
Reboot and log into the machine as another user
Delete the profile and associated registry key
Reboot and log into the machine as the affected user, creating a new profile, and there is no error
Reboot and log in as the other user
xcopy the contents of the skinned-down backed-up profile to the newly created profile
Reboot and log in as the affected user, and the error occurs
Repeat the above, but add items in the excludes.txt file to see what, when eliminated, causes the error not to appear in the last step
I eventually found that skipping the c:\users\<profile folder>\appdata\local\Microsoft\office\14.0 folder allowed the entire profile to be copied over without the error occurring. That was strange, because we've cleaned out the cache folders
before which didn't fix the issue.
So I went about it the opposite way, and tried to delete the 14.0 folder from the restored profile, and after reboot, the error still occurred.
What eventually worked was deleting the 14.0 folder and copying over a 14.0 folder from a newly created profile!
One way to do this was to:
Reboot and log in as another user
Rename the c:\users profile folder
Rename the appropriate [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList] registry key
Reboot and log in as the affected user, confirm that there is no error
Reboot and log in as the other user
Copy the C:\Users\<profile folder>\AppData\Local\microsoft\Office\14.0 folder to the other user's desktop
Delete new profile folder, and rename the backup to be the production folder
Delete the C:\Users\<profile folder>\AppData\Local\microsoft\Office\14.0 folder and then paste the 14.0 copy from the desktop
Reboot and log in as the affected user, confirm that there is no error
We've tried this on a couple machines and it works. I had to run Windows Explorer as Administrator to access the other profile's folders.
We've also successfully copied a 14.0 folder created by one profile on one affected computer over another profile's folder on another computer, eliminating the error, so we're trying that first, as that is fewer steps.
We may attempt to script this, but the self-help instructions are only 5 lines long:
Reboot and log into the affected computer with another account
Go to <link to location of 14.0 folder on network> and copy the 14.0 folder
Run Windows Explorer as Administrator
Go to c:\users\<profile folder>\appdata\local\microsoft\office and delete the 14.0 folder, and paste the copied 14.0 folder (trying to overwrite it makes Win7 want to merge the folders)
Reboot and log into your normal account, and confirm the error is gone
I'll come back and report after we go into the field with this fix, but after the few tests, I am cautiously optimistic that this is it. -
URGENT Problem with Greek Character from an Oracle database
Hello, I am having a serious and urgent problem with the character settings of an oracle database (8.1.7). The database is sitting in a solaris unix server and when we run the env command we have the following in the NLS_LANG parameter: AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1 (I do not know if this is helpful). When I retrieve data from oracle database (through a VB.NET 2005 program)to a dataset I use a special font in order to see the greek characters (HELLASARIAL). But when I am trying to save these data to a TXT file the greek characters are like Chinese to us. I tried several encodings (System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(869)) but without success. Can someone tell me how to convert the oracle greek characters during the selection or during the saving to the TXT file?
Please respond as fast as you can.
Thanks in advanceHere is the answer of the microsoft:
I have the information that you have a VB.Net 2005 application connected to an Oracle database 8.1.7.4 hosted on a UNIX server.
This database has the CharacterSet WE8ISO8859P1.
When retrieving Greek characters from this database in the application, you cannot see them.
Could you please send me a screenshot of these characters in the .Net application?
Are they displayed as gibberish, or as inverted questions marks (?)?
I already had similar cases with Hebrew characters hosted on an Oracle database.
These characters were displayed as questions marks on the client side.
This is due to the fact that System.Data.OracleClient is using the Server CharacterSet to display the characters.
If your Greek characters are not stored in the WE8ISO8859P1 characterset, then they won’t display correctly on the client-side.
This is different from OLEDB where you could interact on client side by modifying the NLS_LANG parameter in the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME0.
The client NLS_LANG and the server CharacterSet had to match in order to correctly display the data, and avoid SQL*NET conversion.
So there are two solutions to your case:
- The first one is to create a new database using the P8 characterset. The Oracle .Net managed provider will so be able to use it and display the characters correctly.
- The second one is to use the OLEDB.Net managed provider, and then use OLEDB for Oracle provider. OLEDB will take care of the client NLS_LANG registry parameter.
Would it be possible to test your application against an Oracle database with WE8ISO8859P8 characterset?
Would it be possible to test it with the OLEDB .Net managed provider, and after checking the NLS_LANG client registry parameter?
