Unable to open SSRS Data Sources

I have exactly the same problem with SSRS 2012 and SP2010 having restarted the SSRS boxes - now I can't even open any of my Data Sources - any suggestions welcome!
The value for UrlRoot in rsreportserver.config is not valid. The default value will be used instead. (Application: SSRS_2012_Service_App, CorrelationId: e80e2208-eb7d-4bc7-8a66-c31537d0c109)

Are you using SSRS 2012 SP1 + CU8? If not, I'd recommend doing so, but it likely doesn't relate to the issue you're having. Note that the error message you put in your post can be ignored.

"Word was unable to open the data source" error message in mail merge

I am trying to do a mail merge in Word 2008 for Mac and receive this message when I try to open the Excel file for the data. Can someone please help? I tried changing the filename to .xls (originally .xlsx) but it didn't work.

As far as I know, you cannot merge from a .xlsx data source in Mac Word 2008, and even though there is a KnowledgeBase article at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2604725 that suggests
that all you have to do is "rename" to a .xls, I think what you actually have to do is open the .xlsx in Excel and use Save As to create a .xls.
Generally speaking, you will be better off researching Mac Word questions in the relevant forum on Microsoft Answers, in this case here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2008-macword
This particular issue was discussed in this conversation: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2008-macword/cant-open-excel-file-for-mail-merge/90ccfd11-273f-4c2a-aa37-1d859b8e41e2?page=1
If that does not help, and you cannot find anything else in the Answers group, I suggest that you post a new question in that group, referencing the above conversation and specifying your version of Mac OSX.

BOFC Unable to start the data source

Hi there,
i've done a standalone install using SQL 2008 R2 express. But i'm unable to start the data source and get this error:
Failed to start data source
Failed to start server instances on machine DELL1.
Failed to initialize server configured on machine DELL1.
Class not registered
Thanks,
Anees

Ok, problem solved.
I had to create a seperate DCOM user and assign it to the following roles in windows:
log on as a batch job
log on as a service
then assign this DCOM user to the Ctbroker and CTserver. As i'm not running this on a domain, there was no need to use 'packet level authentication'. So i set the authentication level to none.
There was no need to use the web based admin interface. Ctadmin.msc worked perfectly.
Thanks,
Anees

Using WCF Odata service as SSRS data source

Hi,
We are evaluating Odata service as data source for SSRS, Idea is to use these reports in sharepoint 2010. I am not sure how to do it.
Now, I am getting a basic doubt that whether Odata can be used as SSRS data source. Please clarify my doubt. If this is possible please help me with some samples.
Thanks in advance.
Santosh

Hi Santosh,
Thanks for your post.
I am not familiar with WCF Odata service, so I would suggest you to refer to the article
Data Sources Supported by Reporting Services (SSRS),
to verify whether the predefine data sources could fit your needs, if there is no one available to use for you,
I would suggest you to implement a custom data processing extensions according to your own needs, you can refer to
Implementing a Data Processing Extension
to learn how to implement a data processing extensions.
Thanks,
Bill Lu

How to enhance open Item data source from R/3 ??

Hello All,
I am trying to enhance the business content extractor for open items in R/3 . The data source is 0FC_OP_01. i know this is coming from the table DFKKOP.
I need to add sub GL ffield rom another table from DFKKOPK .
Please advise the step by step to enhance the existing structure and add the new field to the extractor.
Points will be rewarded for any helpful answers.
thanks in advance,
AG..

Hi,
please check out the forums, there are lot of threads about the issue 'how to enhance a datasource'. Just to give you a hint. Use transaction rsa6 in your source system for that. Here you can enhance the extract structure, the datasource and you can do the coding...

Problem opening ODBC data source in Windows 2003

I am having difficulty opening a ODBC data source in SQL
Server 2000 running on Windows 2003 using ColdFusion MX7 (it works
cleanly on the same database on windows 2000 server). Anyone has
any ideas.

Here it is, there is an issue with our Search functionality with the new SDN:
Symptom
When setting location on a Crystal Reports XI Report using the Progress OpenEdge ODBC Driver in Crystal Reports 2008 or Crystal Reports 2011 get “Some tables could not be replaced, as no match was found in the new data source. Please specify the table required for any unmodified tables.”
Environment
Crystal Reports 2008 or 2011
Progress OpenEdge ODBC Driver
Reproducing the Issue
Open a Crystal Report created in CR XI Report using the Progress OpenEdge ODBC Driver in Crystal Reports 2008 or 2011
Set location to a new ODBC Data Source
Get error "some tables could not be replaced, as no match was found in the new data source. Please specify the table required for any unmodified tables.”
Cause
Crystal Reports XI only creates aliases for tables with special characters or duplicate names.
Crystal Reports 2008 introduces a change which requires aliases for all tables.
Aliases are not created when doing a Set Location on the whole data source.
If a Customer has hundreds of reports they cannot set location of each table and fix the aliases.
Resolution
Upgrade to Crystal Reports 2011 Support Pack 02 or higher
Under registry key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\Crystal Reports\Database\ODBC] create string UseTableNameAsAlias and set it to PGPRO1019.DLL, PGOE1022.DLL. Registry file is attached.
Keywords
Set Location
Progress ODBC
Crystal Reports 2008 2011

Unable to capture the Data Source into a Transport Request

Hi All,
We have a product hierarchy and we are using the data source :4R_PRODH_D_LGEN_HIER for the hierarchy.
Now we need to transport this structure to the quality environment but we were not able to capture the datasource:4R_PRODH_D_LGEN_HIER into a transport request.
When ever we activate the data source:4R_PRODH_D_LGEN_HIER it is asking for the Package and the Transport Request Number.If we give these details and save it, data source is not getting captured in the request, only the "bject Directory Entry" is getting captured.
Can someone please guide me on how to capture the datasource under "Data Sources in BW" in a transport request.
Regards,
Sachin Dehey.

Hi Sachin,
Hierarachy datasource is not captured as Attributes and Text Datasource. So what ever you have done is correct.
What ever is captured in Object Directory Entry is correct. So go ahead with your transports, once transport is done check the Hierarchy Infopackage with Available OLTP hierarchies and load the data.
Most important thing first see that the all Master & Transactional Datasources are transported in R/3 Dev to QA to PRD
In BW, datasources are not transported, only their replica is transported.
Transportation of Datasource is done in R/3. Only their replica is transported in BW.
So wht ever you have done till now is correct. So go ahead.
While attaching Hierarchy Datasource it is captured only in "Object Directory Entry"

Vishnu.

For #5, not Windows, ConfigMgr 2012 R2. Anything before ConfigMgr 2012 R2 is not supported for the 8.1 ADK.
For the permissions, what accounts are you setting this for. In general, if the share is on the same server, Everyone Full or Read on the Share and System Full or Read on the NTFS should work.
For the error message, it looks like you are trying to import an OS Image and not an OS Install Package. OS images use a WIM file and OS Install Packages use the entire set of source files from the media. For OS images, you must thus explicitly point it
to a specific WIM file.

Unable to generate "Export data source" for Master data infoobject

Hi Gurus,
I'm in BW 3.5
I need to generate "Export data source" for a master data info object.
I followed below steps:
I ticked the checkbox "Characterist. is export data source" in the master data Info object maintenance screen.
In the Infosource area, for the desired Infoobject --> Right click --> Generate export datasource --> a dialog box displays saying "The generation of DataSource was successful"
Problem:
Even after refreshing, etc.. I couldn't find the generated datasource 8**** for the above master data. I also tried to replicate the datasource from the myself source system, but couldn't find it even there. I don't know where the generated export data source is hiding ???
Could anyone please help ????
Thanks,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
I guess that after creating an export datasource for infoobject this DS should appear in the RSA1-Source systems - MYSELF - datasource overview (with name starting with 8). Since it's a datamart, it should appear also as system generated infosource. And in this case you would be able to assign in URs of data target the appropriate infosource (make sure that in Infoproviders tab of RSA1 you have inserted your infoobject as a data target).
However, there are some bugs related to export data source. CHeck if you see you export data source in RSA6.
If you don't see it - consider applying OSS Note #816892 - "30BSP26: Export DS for master data is not generated".
Note #876845 - "30BSP29: InfoObject change: Export DataSource not adjusted" is also may be useful.

Unable to change the data source of SAP system

Dear all,
We have install SAP netweaver EHP1 standalone java on oracle 10.2.0.5 on windows 2008 R2.
while installation i have given the central SLD system as solman,
By mistake i have deleted the system from SMSY.. now when i createed the system manually i am unable to change the data resource as SLD due to this i can start my SMD configuration
Request please let me know how to resolve this issue.
Thanks
Paresh

Hi Paresh,
You can proceed with deleting your SAP system from SMSY (along with connected technical content such as AS Java definition) and the run the LANDSCAPE FETCH through transaction SMSY_SETUP to have the correct definition of your SAP system in SMSY.
Following this, you could use the addon Landscape Verification (a new thing I learnt today!!!) to check the correctness of transaction SMSY. The following link details the Landscape verification 1.0 for SolMan:

Hope this helps sort out your issue.

Report Builder - Unable to connect to data source

When I attempt to connect to the data source in Report Builder 3.0 with CM 2012, I receive the following error message: A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. (provider: SSL Provider,
error: 0 - The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.)
Any suggestions on how to help?

You also need it on the client machine running report builder. Here's the instructions I sent my DBA:
Start>run>mmc>file>add/remove snapins>certificate>Computer Account>Local Computer>Certificates>Personal>Certificates>Issued to: Name of server
Look at each cert. On the 3<sup style="color:#1f497d;">rd</sup> tab (Certification Path) it should say “ConfigMgr SQL Server Identification
Certificate”. Export that cert.
Then on the machine running report builder, import the certificate to the local computer trusted root.
Perfect ... Finally following this instruction solve reporting connection error and reporting services is now running perfectly.

2.deliveries which are not goods issued
3.sales order which are confirmed, but not delivered
4. Or any other type of open order.
Thanks in advance.
