Unable to generate Power View report out of Multidimensional report data source

Hi,
I have created 'Report Data Source' connection to point to Multidimensional cube on Share Point site. But when I try to create a new Power View report out of it, I get following error message :
"An error occured while loading the model for the item or data source 'http://*********/PowerPivot Gallery/TestCube.rsds'. Verify that the connection information is correct and that you have permission to access the data source."
I can see following message in the <moreInformation> section :
<Source>Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services</Source><Message>Errors in the metadata manager. The current model can only be expressed when the client is requesting tabular view metadata with VERSION restriction of 2.0 or later.</Message>
Following are the System configurations :
1) SSAS : SQL Server 2012 + SP2 (version 11.0.5058)
2) Share Point 2013
As mentioned in one of the MSDN documents this configuration supports creation of Power View reports on multidimensional cube.
Can any one suggest what might be the issue?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Dipti,
According to your description, you get the connection failure when creating a power view report, and it throws information "Errors in the metadata manager. The current model can only be expressed when the client is requesting tabular view metadata with
VERSION restriction of 2.0 or later." Right?
Based on the error message, the issue should be the SSRS on sharepoint metadata version mismatch when sending to SSAS. There's someone mentioned in a similar thread that this issue can be solved by installing the full package of CU4 for SP1.
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/133558cd-ffc8-4608-ae45-fdff01770c6d/powerview-sql-2012-sp1-cu4-cannot-connect-to-dimensional-metadata-version-11?forum=sqlreportingservices
Even you already have SP2 installed, it supposed included CU1~CU9 for SP1. However, it has reported that SP2 doesn't fix all bugs which supposed to be fixed in CU for SP1.
SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2 is available - but there's a catch!
So please re-install the full CU4 for SP1, restart the services and try again.

Report using excel sheet as data source not working when deployed to production.

I have a set of SSRS reports that use an excel sheet as a datasource.
Now when I preview the reports or run them in the Visual Studio IDE on my local machine i.e
the development machine, the reports run fine & display all correct results.
However, when we deploy the reports to the Production machine which is on a separate server,
the following error message is displayed :
"The current action cannot be completed. The user data source credentials do not meet the requirements to run this report. Either the user data source credentials are not stored in the report server database, or the user data source is configured not to
require credentials but the unattended execution account is not specified. (rsInvalidDataSourceCredentialSetting)"
I've copy pasted the connection string used for connecting to the excel file as reference :
Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\MyFolder\CurrentFile.xlsx;Extended Properties="Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;";
The excel file has also been uploaded to the machine housing the reporting server (i.e to C:\MyFolder location)

Hi Aaakar,
From the error message, please try to change the setting of Credential type for the data source on report manager as follows:
Go to the Data Sources properties page.
For the Connect Using option, select Credentials stored securely in the report server.
In User Name and Password, type credentials that can be used to access the database. If you are using SQL Server as the data source, the user name must be valid for both logging on to the server and for accessing the database that contains the data for
the report.
If the user name and password are credentials for a Windows account, select Use as Windows Credentials.
If you want the report server to pass the credentials of the user accessing the report to the server hosting the external data source, click Windows Integrated Security. In this case, the user is not prompted to type a user name or password.
For more details about Configure Data Source Properties, please see:

Hope this helps.

What is an ageing report? What are the data sources used to develop an aging report
Aging refers to values in different time period ranges. Example, the customer (credit) aging report can look like this.
customer (credit) for current period, 0 to 30 days, 30 to 90 days, 90 to 120 days. This is the way aging is classified.
What data sources does one use to get Balance sheet and P&L accounts tables and fields.
For P&L information, you may use 0FI_GL_6 datasource (or 0FI_GL_10 if you use ERP 5.0 version). This datasource reads the same information used in R/3 transaction f.01 (table glt0).
What are the tasks a BW consultant normally performs when he is involved in an end to end implementation project or a full life cycle project?

Crystal report for visual studio 2010 data source object is not valid error

Hello,
I receive an "data source object is not valid" error when I want to print one CR document after setting an ADODB.Recordset on SetDataSource method of my report.
On my developer station, this operation works without problem but on client station, I get this error.
The redistributable package for client is installed on client side (CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_1.msi).
Can someone help me?
Thank you.

Thank's for your answers
Dim rsPkLst As ADODB.Recordset = Nothing
Dim report As New crPickingList
' Fill ADODB.Recordset with SQL Statment
If rsPkLst.RecordCount > 0 Then
report.SetDataSource(rsPkLst) ' Error : The data source object is invalid
EndIf
This error appears during "report.SetDataSource(rsPkLst)" instruction.
ADODB drivers are already installed and my ADODB.Recordset is filled with good records.
This project is an updated project from Visual Studio 2003 to Visual studio 2010 and the old version was running fine.
Developer and client station runs under Windows XP SP3.
On developer side I install CRforVS_13_0_1 (BuildVersion=13.0.1.220.Cortez_CR4VS).
On client side I install CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_1.msi.
Both stations use Microsoft .Net Framework 4.
Move to ADO.NET is a solution but, for the moment, I do not have the time to change all applications from my company.
(I get this error from all application updated from VS 2003 to VS 2010 developed since 2005)

Create Report with CR4E and XML Data Source

Hi all,
I have a problem when create a report with CR4E that should use a XML data source. It is not possible to choose fields from the field explorer, because ther are no fields from the XML-file. Is there a general problem when using an ODA data source in CR4E? At the moment I can only create reports with a database as data source.
Please help me with a tip.
Thanks
Arnold

Hi,
After Installing CR4E Version 2 the code snippet for creating a XML-report not works as JSP. Has anywhere a hint to resolve the problem or a complete JSP-file?

Issue with Crystal Report based on 2 different data sources

Hi there,
I am having a frustrating problem with a report I've designed and I'm hoping someone might be able to assist please.
The report has 3 different prompts, each of which is based on a dynamic list of values retrieved via views within a SQL server db.
We are wanting to introduce the use of Universes as much as possible, so the data returned is based off a BO Universe data source query.
I have uploaded the report into BO and have provided the necessary database logon information for the report (in the "Process" > "Database" settings in the CMC) for both the direct db datasource connection (for the views) and the BO Universe query connection.
When the report is run however, the report still prompts for the database user name & password credentials. I have triple checked my db connection settings, and also have "Use same database logon as when report is run" set to true. I also tested a cut-down version of the report without the Universe connection with the same db logon credentials I provided and there was no credentials prompt when it was run, proving those values are accepted.
Does anyone know why this is happening & if there is a way around it? Alternatively, is there some way that a report prompt may be based on a dynamic list of values retrieved via a Universe connection? This way I'd be able to remove the db connection for the views and have the report solely based on the Universe.
Another issue that occurs is out of the 3 prompts, a user can select a User Name OR Number, and also must select a Period. However if the User Name or Number is left blank the message "The value is not valid" is shown. So I tried a cut-down version of the report with only the BO Universe as a data source (static prompts) and this didn't occur, i.e. I was allowed to leave either the User Name or Number empty.
I hope this all of makes sense - let me know if not. If anyone is able to help out with any of this it would be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Marco

Crystal Reports 2008 using Outlook/Exchange data source

Hi experts ! We are running a BOXI r3.1 FP 3 on dev and prod.
I recently built a report that uses the Outlook/Exchange data source, where a Sharepoint Calendar is shared to Outlook.
The report runs fine in CR 2008. I publish it to the Enterprise, and the report runs fine on-demand or VIEW. IF I schedule the report it fails with either
Object failed to run due to an error while processing on the Job Server.
or
Error in File ~tmp13bc6e93b8d9690.rpt: Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters.
Is there some magic format for the user Id and password for exchange?
it seems like the job server is not handling the connection correctly.
Any ideas or comments would be appreciated.
Thanks
Zak

I'd love to know more how I can query my Outlook Exchange Server, specifically for the keywords "Good News" in the Subject line.
Any ideas?
I'm fairly new to Crystal Reports.

Progress Reporter - Failed to connect to data source

Installed Progress Reporter and successfully call up the configuration page (http://WLS_server_name:7001/pr/admin/configuration) fill out the Database URL with the URL I use in SQL Developer (jdbc:oracle:thin:@db_Server_Name:1521:primavera) Public Group ID: 1 username: pubuser and password: pubuser. I put nothing in the Application Server section. When I click on save I get the message "Failed to connect to data source, please verify your settings and try again." I know the URL is correct as it connects using SLQ Developer. I have also created a datasource and pool using the same parameters just to validate the connection URL in different products.
Now I do get errors when starting up WebLogic
1) java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\prhome\primavera-configuration.properties ...
2) Local Exception Stack: Exception [EclipseLink-7042] (Eclipse Persistence Services - 1.1.0.r3639-SNAPSHOT): org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.ValidationException Exception Description: Database platform class [${databasePlatform}] not found...
3) Exception in thread "timerFactory" org.springframework.transaction.CannotCreateTransactionException: Could not open JPA EntityManager for transaction; ...
4) A number of these: Exception Description: Database platform class [${databasePlatform}] not found....
I am running on Windows 2008-r2 using WebLogic (64bit) and Java 1.6.0_27 (64bit); Progress Reporter installed in its own domain on a standalone (not managed) weblogic server
I've checked the configuration steps in the documentation (especially for the setDomainEnv.cmd and the PRE_CLASSPATH settings)
Any suggestions appreciated.
Are any of the errors (1 through 4) causing the issue of being unable to connect to the data source?

I have tried both privuser and pubuser. Both username/password combinations work when using sql-developer but not through the database section on the P6 Progress Reporter configuration web page.
I don't login as admin. When I enter the URL http://WLS_server_name:7001/pr/admin it comes up with the configuration screen that has the database and application server configuration sections.
The file primavera-configuration.properties is not created. If I create a blank file that removes the "java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\prhome\primavera-configuration.properties ..." message but it doesn't get any content.
Thanks,
Greg

Can I define tables/views of another oracle database as data sources in DBI?

Hi!
Assuming I created a dblink between an Oracle EBS database and another oracle database and I wish to create custom dashboards and reports in Oracle Daily Business Intelligence, will the tables/views from the another oracle database be allowed as the data sources?
Thanks.

Pl do not post duplicates - Can I read data from other database and tables in Oracle Daily Business Intelligence?
Whether the custom tables are in the same database or a separate database is a trivial issue - a database link and local synonyms can easily mask where the tables are located.

Crystal Report runtime error while changing Data Source Location

Dear All
We are using "Crystal reports for SAP Business one".The Crystal reports version is 12.1.
We built a report in another database with another server.
As we are importing the report in another database of another server,
I am not able to change the Data Source location.
When I am trying to change it,it gives Runtime error and closed automatically.
How can i resolve and change the data source location?

hi kambadasan,
is your CR version the same from which you design the report and to the another server? also did you import your report directly to SBO without changing the data source first? in the case you should update first your Data Source in Crystal Report IDE before importing it to SBO.
regards,
Fidel

CR2008 Cannot report on IIS Log file data source

I have CR2008 (SP0) and CRXIR2 installed on a Vista desktop. I can create reports against IIS Log files using XIR2. When I attempt to make the data connection using CR2008, I go through the same dialog to select log files and dates but at the end it displays "no items found" and I have no table connection that I can add to the report.
My primary source is IIS 6 log files on a server using a mapped drive. I have also tried the same using local IIS 7 on the same Vista pc that Crystal is installed on and neither work using CR2008; both work fine from CRXIR2.
I also opened from CR2008 an IIS log report created in CRXIR2 and oddly the report runs from 2008 but I cannot modify the data connection as I again just receive "no items found" if I attempt to establish another connection.
I've tried a re-install and I've confirmed in Crystal setup that I have installed Web Activity Logs as Data source.

Hi there,
Try the following:
1. Connect to directory of where your IIS server that contains the log file. It should be in C:\Windows\system32\LogFiles\W3SVC1
(Or alternatively, I should suggest copying one of these files over locally to your workstation to test. The file should be in the format of ex*.log)
2. Open up CR2008, and do a "Create New Connection"
3. Then choose "More Data Sources" -> "MS IIS/Proxy Log Files"
4. Point to where your logfile is, whether locally or remotely on the server.
5. A "Select Log Files and Dates" window should appear
6. Under "Enter Log File Format and Location" panel (at the top), choose "Extend (ex*.log)" format
7. Browse to the file that you would to report off.

OBIEE report with HFM and Essbase Data source

Hi All,
Just want your though can we get the data from HFM and Essbase data source in a single report i.e. for some account i want to show budget data from HFM and Forecast data from essbase in a single OBIEE report? If yes how can we model both Data source in rpd?

It possible but the challenge is to try to align the account hierarchy and the entity hierarchy between Essbase and HFM. HFM is looking the data at a top side consolidation level where planning will have more granular details to forecast correctly. The best solution is either to build a custom table in to import both sources, or to use HFM data into Essbase, or to use EPMA. The best in class solution stays to align hierarchies and metadata across applications. We implemented BI Financials Dashboard for the General Ledger, built a custom Dashboard connected in Real Time to Planning and are installing OFMA to connect HFM. Once done, you can rationalize metadata if not done before and start to link the different data into single reports. You will also have to ensure the data is refreshed at the same time to avoid inconsistency.

Report model to have multiple data sources

Hi,
We have requirement to develop report model in 2008 having multiple data sources which includes SQL SERVER 2012 and Oracle database so end user can all the relevant data in one place to run in report builder. So please advise how this can be achieved.
One option I can think of pulling all the data into one database through SSIS and then build a smdl on it.
I heard it might be possible to build Tabular cube and then use Report builder on it not sure which is the best option unless any other solution.
Thanks,

There are multiple options
1. If its just for need of a single report then you don't necessarily need to use SSIS and bring all data to single database for that. SSRS supports multiple heterogeneous datasources so you can simply create multiple datasources one fro SQLServer and one
for Oracle. Then you can create datasets based on these datasources and use them inside reports to display the data from the two systems.
One thing to note here is that SSRS provides only limited capability to merge fields from multiple datasets within same container through the use of Lookup, LookupSet etc functions so if you want to do lots of comparison ,manipulation of fields against two
datasources then you need to go for common database approach itself. This involves building a datawarehouse/datamart which will assmeble data from various sources and change them into format which report expects. Then its just a matter of using single
datasource pointing to this common repository for your reports.

Mapviewer view zoomed out within BI report

Hello,
I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue with a mapviewer map within a BI report showing the map zoomed way out. This map is a FL state map with the cities within the states marked. The geometry theme "FL_CITIES" preview fine on the MapBuilder.jar client application.
However, when rendering the map in OBI report, Mapview just shows a grey screen. When I click on the map, then a small map of FL displays, but it is zoomed out.
I tried to update the mapZoom to a different number on
mapview.setZoomLevel(mapZoom);
but there is no change in rendering of the map.
Has anyone else encountered this behavior? I'm on 10.1.3.3. I've cut and pasted the showMap() function:
function showMap()
baseURL = "http://"+document.location.host+"/mapviewer";
var mpoint = MVSdoGeometry.createPoint(-82.6, 28.2,8307);
mapview = new MVMapView(document.getElementById("map"), baseURL);
var mapZoom = 0;
mapview.addBaseMapLayer(new MVBaseMap("MVDEMO.DEMO_MAP"));
mapview.setZoomLevel(mapZoom);
mapview.addCopyRightNote(
"<font color=black>"+
"Oracle MapViewer"+
"</font>"+
"&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp");
mapview.addMapTileLayer(new MVBaseMap("elocation_mercator.world_map","http://elocation.oracle.com/mapviewer/mcserver" ));
var mapZoom=5;
mapview.addCopyRightNote("Oracle eLocation - ©2008 Oracle Corp. ©2008NAVTEQ™");
mapview.addNavigationPanel("WEST",false,false,null);
mapview.setCenter(mpoint);
mapview.setZoomLevel(mapZoom);
flFOI = new MVThemeBasedFOI('flFOI','mvdemo.fl');
mapview.addThemeBasedFOI(flFOI);
countiesFOI = new MVThemeBasedFOI('countiesFOI','mvdemo.fl_counties');
mapview.addThemeBasedFOI(countiesFOI);
regionsFOI = new MVThemeBasedFOI('regionsFOI','mvdemo.fl_cities');
regionsFOI.setRenderingStyle("V.UI_DATA_CITIES");
//setupNsdp(regionsFOI);
regionsFOI.setBoundingTheme(true);
// regionsFOI.enableLabels(true);
mapview.addThemeBasedFOI(regionsFOI);
mapview.display();

Email Subscription Fails when report includes and Excel ODBC Data Source

I have developed a report in SSRS vs3 which uses a SQL 2008r2 datasource and an Excel datasource using an ODBC connection.
The report runs perfectly well manually, and from a subscription it will run the report and write the file to a UNC folder.
However if i try to setup a subscription to email the file it fails everytime with the following message
"Failure sending mail: Exception 0xc0000005 was generated at address 0x000007FEF1D95B3B Mail will not be resent."
I have tried the usual searches online but not managed to find an explination, work around or resolution.
Thank you in advance for any help offered.

Hi Adam,
Based on my research, the problem may occur if the From field of the e-mail message contains more than 255 characters or there are something wrong with cdosys.dll library, because all the errors come from exchange's cdosys.dll library (CDO - Collaboration
Data Objects) that SSRS uses to send emails.
In the first scenario, please ask the System administrator to check if the mail server has been updated or if there is any error in the mail server. In the second scenario, restart report server could help as you basically restarting the process and reloading
all libraries.
