Themes in the workbook

Hi Gurus,
       I want to set the themes in my workbook.
       Pls give me some steps to do it.
With Regards,
Yokesh.

Hello Yokesh,
First do the formatting for your workbook using the Format Icon in the BEx tool bar. Then in the BEx toolbar -> Choose -> Settings (Before ? mark) -> Permenant Workbook Template.
This will enable you to use the template that you have create for all the reports.
Thanks

  • Data Refresh Error: We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model.

    Hello,
    Recently I have developed a PowerBI Report using Excel Workbook with external data source. It refreshes successfully for some days and then starts throwing error on every scheduled refresh as "We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data
    Model." 
    The workaround solution is to restart the application server which has SQL Server Power Pivot Services Installed which will again work for some more days and again start throwing error.
    So, I am looking for permanent fix for it.
    Following are additional details about our SP Farm:
    No. of front end servers: 2, Application servers:2, DB servers 2 with windows fail over cluster.
    PowerPivot Server is installed and configured from App 2 server.

  • External Data Refresh Failed. We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model. ThisWorkBookDataModel

    Hi All,
    I have been trying to fix this for days now. I have tried solutions in many articles but to no avail. So while the error message is something you may have seen may times, I just can't find a solution in my case.
    This is the error:
    And in text just in case the image isn't viewable:
    "External Data Refresh Failed. We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model. We were unable to refresh one or more data connections in this workbook. The following connections failed to refresh: ThisWorkBookDataModel."
    What is worse is I have checked the ULS (SharePoint Trace Logs), the Event Viewer Logs and the OWA Logs and I cannot find a specific error that would help pin point the problem.
    Excel Workbook
    So what am I doing? I have an Excel 2013 workbook and I create an "SQL Server" connection to the AdventureWorksDW database, add a pivot table and a pivot chart, test in in Excel and all works fine.
    I save the Excel workbook to SharePoint 2013 and then select "Data" then "Refresh All Connections" and then I get the error in the picture above.
    Even more puzzling is I have another Excel workbook that also has pivot tables and pivot charts in the AdventureWorksDW2012Multidimensional cube database in "SQL Analysis Services" and this works fine. Hmmm.
    My Environment
    My environment is Windows 2008 R2 Server, SharePoint 2013 with the April Service Pack1 and a separate server with OWA2013 SP1. It has an SQL Server 2008 R2 database which has been upgraded to SQL Server 2012.
    Data Model Settings
    In Excel Services this is set to my server name which is "server-name". As I do not have instances all I can enter is the server name. As this works everywhere else including the workbook outside of SharePoint I do not think this is the problem.
    But I could be wrong.
    Unattended Account
    I have set this up for the PowerPivot Services App and Excel Services App.
    ODC Connections in Excel
    I have tried all 3 authentication modes, Windows, Secure Store ID and "None" which is the unattended account. I have not tried the other connection types, should I?
    Not in WOPI
    I am not in WOPI mode.
    AD Accounts
    I have added permissions in the SharePoint Services and SQL Server, and as they work in Excel outside of SharePoint, I do not think it is a permissions issue. I could be wrong of course, but the problem is in one of SharePoint, OWA, AD,
    SQL Server, Excel, and Windows Server.
    Isolate the Error
    Below is a list of errors I think are relevant but they do not tell me much. The SharePoint logs are not really giving me an error that tells me what to do and where to do it, or even why it cannot refresh, (perhaps not noticeable by the untrained eye).
    Problem with SQL Server Not Analysis Services
    So my cube database in analysis services works fine in SharePoint/OWA but not the databases in sql server. This is my best clue but I have no idea what it means. Why would it work with an Analysis Services connection but not an "SQL Server" connection?
    It Works Outside of SharePoint
    If I run the excel worksheet outside of SharePoint all works fine. When inside OWA this is where the refresh error occurs.
    Errors from Event Viewer on SharePoint Server using ULS Viewer
    "Failed to create an external connection or execute a query. Provider message: There are no servers available or actively being initialized., ConnectionName: , Workbook:"
    "Refresh failed for 'ThisWorkbookDataModel' in the workbook 'http://server...'. [Session: 1.V22.26itT0lx8piNFeqtuGVhN214.5.en-US5.en-US36.98c0e158-9113-46e9-850e-edda81d9ed1c1.A1.N User: 0#.w|ad\testuser1]"
    And an error in the ULS under the "Data Model" category:
    "--> Check Deployment Mode (server-name): Fail (Expected: SharePoint, Actual: Multidimensional)."
    This last error, as it turned out, defined the problem concisely, although I was yet to work out what it meant in some detail.

    I finally solved this myself (or should I say with the help of several key articles).
    The refresh did not work because the database was not in "SharePoint Mode". Yes, SQL Server has modes, 3 of them in fact.
    If you installed SharePoint to the default SQL instance which would be called <servername> then you cannot use this default instance for Excel 2013 workbooks in OWA 2013 because the refresh only works if the database is in SharePoint mode.
    So what are these 3 modes? The Deployment Mode property in the msmdsrv.ini file has them as:
    0 = Multidimensional mode (the default whenever you install SQL Server normally)
    1 = PowerPivot for SharePoint mode
    2 = Tabular mode mode
    How do you know what mode you are in? That's easy, open SQL Studio Manager and connect to all your SQL database engine instances (ignore Analysis Services or SSRS as they are not database engines). If you only have the default instance then that is almost
    definately in Multidimensional mode which is the default and what SharePoint installs its databases to.
    You must have an instance called <servername>\POWERPIVOT. This instance is the "sharepoint mode" needed, and the default instance name when you install an SQL instance in this mode.
    If you don't see <servername>\POWERPIVOT in SQL server then you are not in "sharepoint mode". It is more accurate to say, you do not have an instance that is in sharepoint mode. This is because you cannot simply switch modes on an SQL server.
    You have to install a new instance in the required mode, thats the only way.
    That's easy enough. Load up the SQL Server setup CD and run setup. Install a brand new instance and select "SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint" when you get there in the wizard.
    Now you will have the default instance that stores all the SharePoint databases and that is in mode 0, and a new instance called <servername>\POWERPIVOT that is in mode 1. The "<servername>\POWERPIVOT" instance connection is what you
    will use for Excel 2013 when rendering in OWA 2013.
    You also need to ensure OWA 2013 is not in WOPI mode for Excel worksheets. See the last link below for more information about WOPI.
    Next you should go to the Excel Service App in CA and click Data Model Settings and add the <servername>\POWERPIVOT instance.
    Then you have to either turn off the firewall on the SQL server machine, or create an inbound rule on the Windows firewall to open the TCP port for the <servername>\POWERPIVOT instance:
    1. Start Task Manager and then click Services to get the PID of the MSOLAP$InstanceName.
    2. Run netstat –ao –p TCP from the command line to view the TCP port information for that PID.
    Finally, you can now create Excel 2013 workbooks that run in OWA without refresh errors, as long as you are connecting to the <servername>\POWERPIVOT instance. Hooray.

  • Getting the error access denied trying to modify the workbook with identifier in Disocverer Admin

    Hi All,
    I have exported a workbook created by business user as an .eex file logging in as discoverer admin from a Production enviornment (transactional databse) and trying to import it to a different environment called reporting environment ( non transactional databse) and getting a warning 'WFS GTP REPORT SINAPORE.eex:Access denied trying to modify the workbook with identifier 'WFS_GTP_REPORT_SINGAPORE'.
    It says Files Partially Imported so clicked on Finish to complete the import.
    The report has been imported under the user account but the sharing to the different responsibilities/Users has not been imported. I need to import the report with the sharing of the responsibilities/users as well.
    I do not have an option login into discoverer administratore using the user account, i can only login using the administator account ( i know loging in as the business user it self will allow you to import the sharing). But our DBA's oppse this is a security threat for the users as you are logging in as the user in production environment.
    Please help with this issue.

    I have the same problem, and I figured out that my windows is installed in french, and every users groups are created in french also, groups like Everyone don't exists and i can't change by console.

  • Cannot join tables used in the workbook. Join "" not found in the EUL. Atte

    Trying to migrate workbooks from one instance to other using discoverer 10.1.2.48.18 i am getting the following error
    Unable to open the worksheet requested.
    - OracleBI Discoverer was unable to find the worksheet that was requested.
    - BIB-10310 An unknown exception occurred.
    - Cannot join tables used in the workbook. Join "" not found in the EUL. Attempt to open workbook failed.
    but its fine one instance , and in prod i am getting above weird error.
    does anybody know how to rectify this.

    Note:267476.1 - for those who can't get into metalink but still need to know the answer
    Subject: Discoverer Workbook Fails With 'Cannot join tables.Item dependency "" not found in EUL' After EUL Migration, Importing Or Cloning
    Doc ID:      Note:267476.1      Type:      PROBLEM
    Last Revision Date:      28-APR-2005      Status:      PUBLISHED
    The information in this document applies to:
    Oracle Discoverer - Version: 4.1 to 10.1
    This problem can occur on any platform.
    Symptoms
    Opening a workbook migrated from one instance to another results in the following errors:
    * Unable to load EUL item ...
    * Cannot join tables. Item dependency "" not found in EUL.
    * Illegal operation... DIS4USR OR DIS5USR caused an invalid page fault in module....
    If using the workbook dump utility, you may notice:
    * Found in EUL by id *** Name has changed to .. where the new name is really the wrong column
    It seems that items are matched by internal item identifiers (IDs) and not by developer keys and names.
    Changes
    Migrating from one environment to another. For example, you may have performed a database export / import of the EUL schema from DEV to TEST
    Cause
    The timestamp is the same for both EULs, what can be confirmed by the following SQL statement:
    * Discoverer 4:
    SQL> select ver_eul_timestamp from eul4_versions;
    * Discoverer 9.0.2 , 9.0.4, 10.1 the script is:
    SQL> select ver_eul_timestamp from eul5_versions;
    If the result of the sql output is the same in both EULs, it means that timestamp of both EULs are the same. Discoverer assumes that the EUL are exactly the same (e.g. this can happedn when one of them is created with export/import of the other EUL schema using database export/import utilities) and this is the reason it tries to match items by identifiers and not by developer keys or names.
    Solution
    Change the column ver_eul_timestamp in the eul4_versions (4.1) or eul5_versions(9.0.2 - 10.1)tables to be something different in the destination EUL. The format of this column is like year:month:day:seconds:milliseconds
    Example:
    * Discoverer 4.1:
    sql> update EUL4_VERSIONS set VER_EUL_TIMESTAMP =TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS');
    sql> commit;
    * Discoverer 9.0.2:
    SQL> update EUL5_VERSIONS set VER_EUL_TIMESTAMP = TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS');
    sql> commit;
    * Discoverer 9.0.4 -10.1:
    Run the script: EUL5_id.sql as the eulowner ID
    o For 9.0.4 -- This is found on a PC with the Discoverer Administrator installed in drive:\Oracle Home\discoverer\sql
    o For 10.1.0 -- This is found on a PC with the Discoverer Administrator installed in drive:\Oracle Home\discoverer\util

  • How to restrict end user from modifying/saving the workbook?

    <Moderator Message: As you deleted my comment in this thread by editing it again, I am locking it now>
    Hi,
    We have created few workbooks. The requirement is that the end user should not be able to modify or save the workbook. We tried using S_RS_Tools authorization object with "themes" in the Command ID. But this does not seem to solve our problem. Please suggest whether it is possible to enter any other value in this field to restrict access to the end user.
    We also tried including the following authorization objects with the corresponding values :
    1.S_GUI with the value Activity=60(import)
    2.S_USER_AGR with Activity = 03 and * in Role.
    3.S_BDS_DS with Activity = 03(display) and 30 ; Class Type = OT.
    4. S_USER_TCD with tcode = RRMX.
    But still the end user is able to modify the workbooks. (The end user must not be able to make changes to settings of any of the buttons in the design mode, must not be able to save the workbook).
    Please suggest the corrections required. Also kindly suggest if there are any other ways to resolve this issue <removed by moderator>.
    Your help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Only few people have authorization to create S.O. w.r.t. quotation (as in our case, sales ppl create quotation and Finance ppl create S.0., with reference to Quotation Only - T.Code: VTAA).
    Others have only authorization to View/ Display, VA03.
    Consult your Basis-Admin, he will create appropriate role & assign T. Code: va03 for list of user, provided by you.
    Best Regards,
    Amit.
    Note: You can't restrict anyone with T. Code: VA02, to change qty or price in Sales order, directly.

  • Other user can not see the data from the workbook

    Hi Friends,
    I created a workbook with some worksheets in a Business area. The owner of the workbook has no problem to view all the worksheets and get all the data returned.. I granted all the neccessary privileges to other users ,they could see the workbook, but no data returnd for the query results. Tried refresh the worksheet, same no data retrieved.Checked the SQL inspector and the plan, it showed the correct paths and execution plan without any errors there. The same query run in SQL plus by other users returned data correctly.
    By the way, I had a summary folder in the workbook. During the troubleshooting, I dropped this summary folder, still the same no data return for other users.
    Any body happen to know the cause or has some ideas on this issue?
    The discoverer administrator verson is 9.0.4.00 and the PLUS /Viewer is 9.04.45.02.
    Thank you very much,
    J.K

    Hi All
    The scheduling of reports, as you have probably noticed, requires that the scheduling privilege within Discoverer Administrator tool be granted to the user NOT to a role. Scheduling will not work if you attempt this. The reason for this is that these two SYS grants must go to a user:
    GRANT SELECT ON SYS.V_$PARAMETER
    GRANT EXECUTE ON SYS.DBMS_JOB
    The user will also need to have these grants:
    CREATE PROCEDURE,
    CREATE TABLE,
    CREATE VIEW,
    EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE,
    UNLIMITED TABLESPACE on user's tablespace
    My new Discoverer 10g Handbook, which I would recommend to anyone working with Discoverer, explains scheduling in detail and even tells you how the tables and views that are used to store the results work. You won't find this information anywhere else, as you will see if you read some of the five reviews that have been left on Amazon.com. For more information about the book please look here:
    http://learndiscoverer.com/books/books.htm
    The PUBLIC grants are not having any impact. All these do is ensure that ALL users have the same basic privileges. You can just as easily grant these to any role of your choosing and it will work just fine.
    By the way, because the PUBLIC role is the MINIMUM privileges that a user can have you might want to consider reducing the end user Discoverer privileges afforded to PUBLIC. By default, all users can Create and Edit workbooks, share workbooks, save workbooks and so on. This is far too rich a set of privileges for the basic user, who in most cases will be a VIEWER user. Whenever I create a new EUL I always recommend that my client reduces the PUBLIC user's privileges and then create new roles for more advanced VIEWER and PLUS users, adding privileges as required.
    Thus, my basic VIEWER, aka PUBLIC, has only these privileges:
    Collect Query Statistics
    Item Drill
    Drill Out
    My advanced VIEWER has this additional privilege:
    Save Workbooks to Database
    My basic PLUS user has all of the above, plus these (pardon the pun):
    Create/Edit Query
    Create Link
    and my advanced PLUS users get everything, which means they now get these as well:
    Grant Workbook
    Schedule Workbooks
    I also remove the Save / Save As Actions link from Viewer which prevents the basic VIEWER users from knowing that it is there. In essence, because these users no longer can click the Save link and because they do not have the Save to Database privilege, they will not be prompted to save within Viewer no matter what they do. This now makes 10.1.2 Viewer work the same way as previous versions.
    Even though the Save link is not there, my advanced Viewer users will be prompted to save if they have made any changes. This therefore allows you to have two classes of Viewer, one who can save and one that cannot.
    I hope this helps

You can try emptying the trash on your mac if you deleted them via the finder, as although you've deleted it, it's only marked as trashed and not actually deleted until you empty the trash - ie it won't relieve the space taken by the files.
    If your still having issues after you try this, you may be best formating the memory card. This will wipe all data on it though, so make sure you do copy anything off that yo u want to keep! Format from the camera, so that choosing the format>erase all option from the menu of most cameras.

    The problem of having 2 'Podcast' folders / menu items after adding a new podcast through clicking on a link in the browser has been addressed on the forums by instructing users to resubscribe to existing podcasts, which then appear in the new folder, and delete the old folder.  This will not work for me as most of the podcasts I listen to are BBC, which vanish from the web 7 days after they were first broadcast (about which much swearing, but that's unalterable).  Consequently I can't adopt this solution.
    I have resubscribed to the podcasts using the link in a browser method, so that they all appear and (in theory) will download new episodes again. However, this leaves the old episodes missing. What must I do to get the episodes downloaded from the old podcasts recognised as belonging to the new subscriptions?

    I found a very fast and easy solution: I selected all the podcasts in the first window, copied them using the command in the Menu>Edit (Command+C did not seem to work). I then pasted them into the new empty folder. All the podcasts already downloaded appeared. The only problem is that some podcasts did not remember which had been viewed or not, while did keep the information. I just had to re-subscribe to the ones I still wanted by clicking on button.
    For some reason, the previous Podcasts folder was only recogized as a list by iTunes, this showed up when I deleted the previous folder (contextual menu). I also had to re-select which ones I wanted synced with my iPad and iPhone.
    (I did make a backup of the Podcasts folder in the Finder, just in case, a bit like voodoo computing)

  • I tried to add sf2 instruments.  I put them in the audio/banks file but they do not show up in the DSL instruments on Garage Band.  Why not?

    How can I get sf2 intruments that I've downloaded to use in my GarageBand?  I have downloaded them and have put them both in the GarageBand instruments folder and the Audio/Banks folder of my Library, but they do not show up in GarageBand on the DSL instruments as they should.  I have some instruments in that category that I must have put in before, but can't find them in the audio/banks folder or the GarageBand instruments folder and cannot locate them with a my computer finder anywhere.  They are listed in the DSL instruments on GarageBand when I open the program.  Is there another library that this version of GarageBand can be using??  I have GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.4)d, which was updated a while back.  I had the previous version of GarageBand with a diffent system quite a bit earlier.  I've look in the "previous system" folder as well, and cannot find the instruments, or an audio/banks folder at all.

    Mortimer,  iTunes does not know when you restore a file.  After you restore the file, you need to re-add the file to iTunes.
    If you know exactly which files you restores, re-add them using File > Add File to LIbrary.
    Otherwise, lre-add the folders.  iTunes has certain safeguards to reduce duplicates when you do this, which are not perfect but are better than nothing.  Start with a few small folders and see if you are happy with the results.

  • I imported a cd that I purchased and I can't get it to sync to my phone. All the songs have a grey circle in front of them and the names of the songs are grey as well. How do I get iTunes to see them so they can sync to my iPhone?.

    I've imported 3 cd's to my iTunes, but they continue to be "grey-ed out" with a dotted grey circle in front of them. The music will not sync to my iPhone. How do I get iTunes to recognize them so that they will sync?

    Thanks Chris CA.
    In the Gen 4 they offer "Settings" then "Reset Settings"  Then it asks, "Do you want to reset your iPod?"  I click on "reset" but then nothing resets. :-(  This is what makes me think it might be locked or something....
