The connection has failed while importing metadata in RPD

Hi All,
Recently I start creating a repository (OBIEE 11g client version 11.1.1.3.0) in offline mode and I want to import metadata which failed by the error ‘The connection has failed’..
Kind Regards,
Mohan

Hi Mohan,
Solution:
1.Copy the tnsnames.ora from Oracle Database home (ORACLE_HOME\NETWORK\ADMIN\) to the following locations.
* \OracleBI1\network\admin (Example: C:\OBI\Oracle_BI1\network\admin)
* \oracle_common\network\admin (Example: C:\OBI\oracle_common\network\admin)
2.Set the TNS_ADMIN environment variable value with one of the copied locations in the step 1 in user.cmd or http://user.sh file depending on your OS.
This file will be found under
\instances\instance1\bifoundation\OracleBIApplication\coreapplication\setup
(Example : C:\OBI\instances\instance2\bifoundation\OracleBIApplication\coreapplication\setup)
Thanks,
-Amith.

The connection has failed while creating a New Repository using Oracle BI 11g Administration Tool

hi
In the BI Administration Tool when i try to create a “New Repository…” faced The connection has failed I try all of these solutions but dident work..
1-configured my “System DSN"
2-enter “TNS_ADMIN” for the “Variable Name” field and for the “Variable Value” enter the location of my OBIEE
3-copy the sqlnet and tnsnames.ora files into E:\obiee11gtmt\Oracle_BI1\network\admin and E:\obiee11gtmt\oracle_common\network\admin
4- put this in DSN with connection type OCI 10g/11g (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = IP Addr)(PORT = 1521)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL) ))
please help me
regard

1.Place tnsnames.ora file in the following paths,
E:\obiee11gtmt\oracle_common\network\
E:\obiee11gtmt\Oracle_BI1\network\admin
2.Navigate to
E:\obiee11gtmt\instances\instance1\bifoundation\OracleBIApplication\coreapplication\setup\
Open user.sh file in a notepad
Set Tns_names paths as shown below with your tnsnames.ora file’s location,
set TNS_ADMIN=C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\NETWORK\ADMIN
The above path is of your installed Database tnsnames.ora file
I guess you didnt do this step. This will solve your issue.
Restart all the services

OBIEE The connection has failed Essbase Error 226246926

I recently installed BI Administration Tool 11.1.1.7 64bit on my Windows 7 machine and was trying to establish a connection to Essbase. After setting the properties for Database and Connection Pool in the Physical Layer, when I click on "Import Metadata" I am getting an error "The connection has failed Essbase Error 226246926". I choose Essbase 9 on the Database type The connection pool properties for the rest of it is all default, I even tried using Essbase 11 but still getting the same error.
Earlier, when I had BI Admin Tool 11.1.1.6, I was able to successfully establish the connection using database type as Essbase 9 but after the the upgrade I was not able to establish the connection.
I would appreciated any suggestions/inputs to fix the issue

Hi,
his issue is fixed. tnsnames.ora file need to exist in the both OBIEE Oracle homes ( C:\Middleware\Oracle_BI1 and C:\Middleware\oracle_common )
After the 11.1.1.5 installation on my Windows Machine, C:\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\network\admin directory structure was created.
However for the 2nd Oracle Home (C:\Middleware\oracle_common), the directory structure existed only till C:\Middleware\oracle_common\network. I copied the TNS file to C:\Middleware\oracle_common\network.
pls mark correct,if ansrwd
thanks

Connection Failed While Importing Metadata

Hi All,
I have installed 11.1.1.6.2 Client on my machine and while i am trying to import metadata it throws an error saying "Connection Failed". Can some one help me how to resolve this ?
Regards,
Vishal BVR

I did google it but all the responses were related to the Server versions but not client, none of them answered my question. And coming to your suggestion do you mean that we need to provide full TNS entry i.e.
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl.us.deloitte.com)
or do you want me to mention just ORCL in the DSN name during the import metadata step from the RPD.

SSPI handshake failed with error code 0x8009030c while establishing a connection with integrated security; the connection has be

Hello, I have a sql 2005 server, and I am a developer, with the database on my own machine. It alwayws works for me but after some minutes the other developer cant work in the application
He got this error
Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. [CLIENT: 192.168.1.140]
and When I see the log event after that error, it comes with another error.
SSPI handshake failed with error code 0x8009030c while establishing a connection with integrated security; the connection has been closed. [CLIENT: 192.168.1.140]
He has IIS5 and me too.
I created a user on the domain called ASPSYS with password, then in the IIS on anonymous authentication I put that user with that password, and it works, on both machines.
and in the connection string I have.
<add key="sqlconn" value="Data Source=ESTACION15;Initial Catalog=GescomDefinitiva;Integrated Security=SSPI; Trusted_Connection=true"/>
I go to the profiler, and I see that when he browses a page, the database is accesed with user ASPSYS, but when I browse a page, the database is accesed with user SE\levalencia.
Thats strange.
The only way that the other developer can work again on the project is to restart the whole machine. He has windows xp profession, I have windows 2000.
If you want me to send logs please tellme

Well here's my problem, maybe you can help. Intermittenly I get a login failed when connecting to a db engine through Server Management Studio using Windows authentication. When this happens the following entries are generated on the server's application event log:
Event Type:        Error
Event Source:    MSSQLSERVER

Description:

I've already ensured that the server is set to mixed authentication mode. Oddly enough, the workaround that I've found is that if I remote desktop into the server, log in and then log back out, Management Studio is suddenly able to connect again. No idea why it works.
As I said before, it is intermitten. Some days it errors on login, other days it doesn't and there are no configuration changes between them. Also, both client and server are in the same domain and same site so there is no VPN or anything in between. I'm really quite stumped. Any help would be great, or if you can point me in the right direction of where to look. Thank you in advance!

Adf input file - connection to the server has failed(status=unknown)

We are using input file component to upload an excel file and read it. Sometimes we are getting error - " A Connection to the server has failed. (status=unknown) " when we click on browse and add the file. We are getting this error when we just add the file. We are not doing any operation while adding the file. After the file is added, we have a submit button to do post operations on file. But we are getting this error immediately after we add the file. JDeveloper version 11.1.1.5.0.
Any inputs will help us.

Hi,
there must be a stack trace in the log files that gives you more information about this. Chances are the browser closes the socket connection, which you can verify by using another browser and avoiding e.g. VPN connect for testing. Another test to perform is to try 11.1.1.7 and see if this works for the use case in case you sit on a known and already fixed problem

Java.sql.SQLException: The TCP/IP connection to the host has failed.

Hello. I hope you had a happy new year! Now its back to work.
I am having a problem connecting to a remote SQL Server DB. I am using NetBeans 5.5 and the latest J2EE. I am able to see the tables in the IDE and bind objects to data. But when I run it it gets this:
java.sql.SQLException: Error in allocating a connection. Cause: Connection could not be allocated because: The TCP/IP connection to the host has failed. java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: no further information
at com.sun.gjc.spi.DataSource.getConnection(DataSource.java:100)
at com.sun.sql.rowset.internal.CachedRowSetXReader.connect(CachedRowSetXReader.java:344)
at com.sun.sql.rowset.internal.CachedRowSetXReader.readData(CachedRowSetXReader.java:126)
at com.sun.sql.rowset.CachedRowSetXImpl.execute(CachedRowSetXImpl.java:968)
at com.sun.sql.rowset.CachedRowSetXImpl.execute(CachedRowSetXImpl.java:1428)
I checked the SQL Server Configuration manager on that machine and TCP/IP connections are allowed. What else could be wrong?
Thank You.

"Connection refused" means that the client sends a packet saying "I would like to connect to port number NNNN please" to the server computer, and the server computer's OS sends the reply "there is no process listening to that port on the network interface you are using".
The database server is not running, or running but not listening to TCP/IP connections, or at a different port from what you think, or listening to only selected network interfaces (it is possible for a process to listen to a specific interface or a wildcard for all interfaces). A less likely scenario is that a firewall is sending the "connection refused" message.
First aid check list for "connection refused":
- Check host name in connect string.
- Check port number in connect string.
- Try numeric IP address of server host in connect string, in case name server is hosed.
- Are there any firewalls between client and server blocking the port.
- Check that the db server is running.
- Check that the db server is listening to the port. On the server, try: "telnet localhost the-port-number". Or "netstat -an", there should be a listening entry for the port. You need to configure the database to accept TCP connections; the server documentation or google should explain how.
- Try "telnet server-host-name the-port-number" from the client, to see if firewalls are blocking it.
- If "telnet" fails: try telnet with the numeric ip address.
- If "telnet" fails: does it fail immediately or after an obvious timeout? How long is the timeout?
- Does the server respond to "ping serverhost" or "telnet serverhost" or "ssh serverhost"?

The TCP/IP connection to the host has failed.

Hi everyone;
I have project with Java and Sql server 2000.My application server is Jetty.I work this tool successfully in Windows 2000 Server but I cant in XP Pro Service Pack 2.I take this message :
The TCP/IP connection to the host has failed. java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
My Sql Server TCP/IP enabled and port 1433.There is problem here.Because I cant connect 1433.I tried this command.
telnet localhost 1433 .It is failed.I tried to open this port in firewall.Still problem is continue.
I am waiting for ur answer...

please help me by giving the solution.Help yourself by fixing the connection settings OR your network. The error is very clear: no connection can be made to the database. So what could it be? Wrong IP? A firewall is blocking you somewhere?
Nobody can tell you, you are the only one with access to your server settings and network environment.

An error occurred while reconnecting...The local device name is already in use. The connection has not been restored.

Hi,
So I have 2 PC's and I sign with the same credentials. I have a hard drive which I decided to share. In the setting I created permissions for the user credentials of both vcomputers and have full control access.
Basically, everytime I open my laptop after and it wakes up and try to connect to the network drive, I get the error
An error occurred while reconnecting...The local device name is already in use. The connection has not been restored.
I need to stay disconnecting all drives and reconnecting them. WHen I restart my PC the network drives restore perfectly. I don't understand why it doesnt work on wake.
Any ideas?

It seems that when a machine goes into sleep, the network connection is disconnected, naturally, but the machine still has the connection mapped. If you run the 'net use' you will see the connection. When you try to reconnect it, it sees the
connection and gives you the error.
I do not know if you can directly modify this behavior. However, as a work around, you could build a simple script like:
net use 'connection' /delete ( write it into a text file and save it has a .bat file.)
Use scheduled tasks to have the script run right before the machine goes into sleep. You can do so by setting the task to RUN ON Event: event 42 for the KERNEL_POWER source.
You can see http://superuser.com/questions/679195/run-a-script-when-hibernating-windows-8 for more info .

This seems to happen randomly. After clicking on "OK" and the action is correctly performed again. I don't have this issue in Firefox.
There are no error messages in the server logs.
Can you please let me know how to fix this issue.
