Trouble with a csv datasource in the repository

Hello,
I'm running 10.1.3.4 on Red Hat Linux. I placed a test .csv file on the BI Server, and am trying to get to the data using the BI Administrator tool. When I imported the .csv file into the repository, it appeared to work. In the physical layer, I see a table which corresponds to the name of my csv file and 4 columns which correspond to the 4 columns in my .csv file.
My problem is I can't see the data. If I right click the table and go to "view data" I get the following error:
[NQODBC] [SQL_STATE:HY000] [nQS Error: 10058] A general error has occurred.
[nQSError: 43093] An error occurred while processing the EXECUTE PHYSICAL statement.
[nQSError: 16023] The ODBC function has returned an error. The database may not be available, or the network may be down.
I also dragged the table to the model and mapping layer and presentation layer. When I try to build a request off the subject area, I see the table, but it says the "folder is empty" when I click on it.
Is there something I need to configure on the linux server to tell it how to handle a .csv file? This is my first attempt at importing anything into the repository other than Oracle tables using OCI.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Stijn - thanks again for your assistance. I did follow the instructions of that blog, but I'm still having the same problem. Does the excel file have to be in a very specific location on the BI server? Do I have to configure anything on the server to tell BI how to access an excel or csv file?

  • I'm having trouble with iTunes synching and accessing the iTunes store.

    I'm having trouble with iTunes synching and accessing the iTunes store.   When synching, the process tops at the back up stage, freezes and I can't close the iTunes window, need to ctrl alt del.   When trying to access the store, the progress bar stops halfway.   I've googled heaps and tried most of the standard answers - unistall, reinstall, etc, now looking for some help please.
    This has only started a few weeks back, after working smoothly for the 2 years of owning the iPhone 3gs.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated, it's getting realy frustrating.
    Cheers for now,

  • I'm Having trouble with OWA and Certs after the Rollup 7 for SP3 installation. any idea? update 2961522-

    Hi, everyone.
    I'm Having trouble with OWA and Certs after the Rollup 7 for SP3 installation. any idea? update 2961522-
    after running get-OWAVirtualDirectory or test-OWAConnectivity i'm getting a message that says "OWA it's Orphan, No Metadata information can be found."
    I only have the OWA users impacted.- anywhere users, and ActiveSync are working well.-

    Hi Fabian,
    Is there any error code when user access their mailbox on OWA. Please confirm if there is no results returned in EMS when you run Get-OWAVirtualDirectory cmdlet. Also check whether there is any Event Logs related to OWA in Exchange.
    In IIS manager, make sure the OWA virtual directory is listed in the Default Web Site. In EMC, we can navigate to Server Configuration > Client Access, select server and turn to Outlook Web App tab. Then we can click Reset Virtual Directory in the right
    Actions pane to reset OWA virtual directory.
    Additionally, please restart IIS service by running iisreset /noforce from a Command Prompt window.

  • Has anyone had trouble with dropped calls after downloading the IOS 7

    has anyone had trouble with dropped calls after downloading the IOS 7

    I downloaded mountain lion and then iPhoto '11 in order to tap into iCloud capabilities with all of my devices. (My Mac was outdated in regards to operating platform to do this). After installing iPhoto 11, I had to repair and rebuild my library of photos.  However, after doing this, all of my albums were jumbled and, while I can see the image thumbnail, when I click on the thumbnail, and error that looks like a black triangle and gray exclamation pops up as opposed to the larger hi def image I want to view.

  • Trouble with a bindVar function in the reflection

    Hello everybody!
    I have some trouble with using FXObjectValue.bindVar(...) function.
    I'm getting
    java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: unimplemented: bindVar
    exceprion :(
    I loked up to source code of JavaFX and I can't find implementation this function, except one that throws this exception.
    Hence I have two questions:
    - Is this function implemented wherever really?
    - If one isn't implemented how can I conquer this trouble or will one be implemented soon?
    //Best regards
    //Alexander

    Hi again!
    I have looked at this classes which you have advised me. Thank you very much!
    But I can't understand what I have to do in the onChange method, when I realise FXChangeListener interface. Any values aren't passed into this method.
    I have tried look up any explanation into source code of the JavaFX compilator, but I haven't found.
    I have some ideas about some solution for this case:
    to save source and destination objects into a class that realises this interface.
    But I don't sure that solution is clear.
    Could you please estimate this idea?
    My be are some other solutions of this problem?
    Thank you in advance!

  • I`m having trouble with my new advanced system the mac os X 10.0.3

    Hello everybody...
    I need Help, I would appreciated anything anybody could do to help me...
    I`m trying to install the new software the mac os X 10.0.3 and having trouble transfering all my files form the mac os 9.2.2 classic to my new system...Do i have to erase my hard drive to do a clean install???? Could I transfer my files to my home`s computer, instead of buying a portable smartdisk hard drive of 100 Gb, and then so i could transfer my fiels back to my mac without no trouble ????
    I Hope anyone could answer to my post as soon as possible, Thanks

    Hi, John. If you weren't having trouble with Mac OS 10.0.3, it would be a major surprise. OS X 10.0.x and 10.1.x were unusable beta versions and never should have been released, in the view of most people who ever tried to run them. It would be a severe trial of your patience and a waste of your time to install 10.0.3 on your Mac.
    If you want to run OS X, buy OS X 10.2.x (Jaguar), 10.3.x (Panther) or the current version, 10.4 (Tiger). All are available at reasonable prices from AppleRescue. Tiger is also available from any Apple retailer. Carefully read the system requirements for whichever version you prefer, and be sure your computer meets them before buying. If your Powerbook only has a 10GB hard drive, install a larger one (at least 40GB is sensible, since the cost per gigabyte of smaller drives is now exorbitant compared with larger units) before bothering to install OS X.
    It would be most advisable to copy everything on your current hard drive to an external FireWire hard drive, then reformat and erase the internal drive before installing OS X on it. Doing so insures that your data is all safe and that your internal drive is in tip-top condition when the new OS is installed. After performing the installation, you can copy the contents of the external drive back onto the internal drive. The external drive will then be available as backup space for the entire contents of the internal drive, including OS X, all your applications, and all your data.
    While OS 9 is still installed on your hard drive, check to make sure your Powerbook's firmware is up to date. It will need to be brought up to date while running OS 9, before you install OS X 10.2 or higher. Here is the updater for your 500MHz Tibook:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75132
    If the firmware has already been updated, running the updater again will tell you so and will do no harm.

  • Anyone else having trouble with flash player over working the processor since the security update?

    Hi everyone-
    Since the last security update (flash player version 11.7.700.169) I have been having trouble with flash player beating the daylights out of my processor. My OS is Windows XP. This only happens on some sites, not all. For example netflix and amazon are fine, but acorn and huffington post videos send the processor into overdrive. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance :-)

    I have XP on some machines, and I do not experience any such problems with 11.7.700.179.  If I were, I would try two things
    update the graphics drivers; see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765
    update to the latest Flash Player beta, or wait until the new version is released later this week

  • Trouble with IE8 placing div in the right spot. Other browsers work fine.

    My layout is working in all browsers (Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera, IE6 & 7) but not in IE8 or 9beta.
    The trouble is with a div containing text not displaying below a "lightbox gallery". In IE8 the text div jumps up and appears behind the gallery.
    I've tried using negative pixel definitions in the css (margin-top, margin-bottom) and other simple tricks to no avail. This site is still in development but I do have a few sample pages online. Here's a link to one. http://www.redhousepottery.com/chimerasite/hanks.html
    I have a feeling a css hack is all I need to fix this. I don't have enough practice at this yet. Any help is appreciated!

    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
    Add the above to your meta code to emulate 7.0 and probably fix the problem, at least until you can find a fix in IE8.
    Best,

  • Trouble with text messages going to the wrong person

    I have four family members all on the same Apple ID account.  Text messages are going to the wrong people when sent among family members.  Text A going to B ends going to C.  Not sure what the problem is.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have been experiencing this issue for the last few weeks and it is extremely annoying.  I've called Verizon 7 times and have gotten nothing but the run around.  What's even more annoying is hearing them say there will be a software coming out to correct the problem but they don't know when.  I'm very disappointed in Verizon.  I've been with them for many years.  They were my first and only carrier.  I will definitely not be taking this lying down.  I'm going to get a resolution, and if that means leaving Verizon, then so be it.  And if anyone from Verizon is reading this, PLEASE DO NOT offer up another apology.  I don't want another apology, I want this issue to be corrected, NOW!!

  • Hi, i'm having trouble with syncing my iPod. (after the latest iTunes-update)

    It's a classic, but I have no idea what generation... but it was bought in early 08, and have 80gb. Anyway, it has been working fine all the time, but by the latest iTunes-update, it has stopped working. (mac) Every time I try to connect it with my computer, iTunes says that "this iPod appears to be destroyed, try to restore" (I'm having iTunes in Norwegian, so not sure if this is the direct translation, but hopefully you'll get the picture) - and I try to do this, again and again, but nothing seems to work. I have tried to turn off the computer, put iPod in disc-mode, let the battery run out, give it a two-week break, and now I'm out of guesses on what to do. But no matter what I do it allways appear to have zero songs on it after I am done syncing, and I allways get the "try to restore"-message when i connect it again.
    It's possible that it's just old age or something, but I really want to try everything first, as it seems to be all right otherways. It also works when I connect it with my friend's  PC, but since she has ****** taste of music () it's not an option. I have a MacBook, also from 2008.
    And just to clearify. I have an iPad2, and an old iPod nano (2006) and both works with my computer/iTunes.

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • I am having trouble with all websites that have the embedded Windows Media Player. If I go to a page with a Webcam that is using Windows Mwdia, the player does not play or even show up. Any ideas?

    With all my other browsers, thia is not an issue including Firefox 3.6. For example, this page http://www.liveduvalstreet.com/ will display fine in every browser except Firefox 4. Because of that issue, I reverrted back to 3.6 until I can find a fix. I have tested this page in Chrome, Maxthon 2 and 3, Internet explorer 8 and Firefox 3.6 with no issues at all. This is just an example site. All sites with the embedded player will not work.

    Thanks a million! Thatr did the trick. I had an older versiuon of the plug in installed as well.
