Universe on SQL Server names instance

Hi All,
I am very new to BO and like to get some information regarding the data sources that BO support.
I am using Business Obejcts Enterprise XI 2 release. And can I use SQL Server named instance as the data source. If so, how do I set the universe connection parameters. I select the DSN name and pass username and password. Ane when i create DSN, at the server name select SQLSERVER\INSTANCE NAME.
I appreciate if anyone can help me

Hi,
You can create connection using generic ODBC and odbc for sql server also.
For that first you have to create a DSN from the control panel-->data sources.
Create a DataSource  using the database you want to use.
Now go to Universe>New>type the universe name
Click on new connection >Next>Select Microsoft>MS SQL Server 2000> ODBC Drivers>Next>Type(secured), name the connection.
Type in the user name and password and select the DSN name you created for sql server.
Click on test connection.
Click on next-->next and finish and OK.
Now the universe that you are creating will use this connection and you can also use this connection for creating other universes.
Hope this helps.

gaurav

  • Open Connection to SQL Server 2000 Instances

    Dear All:
    I always got following error when connecting to a SQL Server 2000 instance:
    "Can't open a socket on NAMNGO\RNDSQLSVR:1433. Check host and port number and
    make sure the
    security manager allows this connection. You can also try running the SocketApplet
    (java.net.UnknownHostException:
    NAMNGO\RNDSQLSVR)"
    I am using Wel Logic 6.1 and SQL Server 2000. SQL Server 2000 has an instance
    named RNDSQLSVR with default TCP port is 1433.
    Is there anyone hit this problem, please let me know.
    Please check the attached file for sample code.

    Hi Nam,
    The way you do this is by finding out on what port the instance of SQL
    Server you want to connect is listening on. (Use the server network utility
    that comes with SQL Server 2000 for this). Then just mention the
    server=<machine name/ip> of the server this instance is running on. and
    the
    port as the port that is shown by the server network utility as port=<port
    number>. Microsoft specifies NAMNGO\RNDSQLSVR:1433 as the convention
    for
    ODBC but , this driver is a type 4 driver and it needs only the machine
    name
    and port, it doesnt need any instance name.
    (Each instance of SQL Server 2000 listens at a different port)

  • Create MS SQL Server 2014 instance for TSQL2012 sample database Training kit (70-461)

    Hi,
    I just bought the Training kit (70-461) Querying Microsoft SQL server 2012. I downloaded Microsoft SQL Server 2014. I have also downloaded the script for the sample database -
    TSQL2012.sql.
    Basically I want to set up the sample database and practice my SQL queries. How do I log into
    Microsoft SQL Server 2014? Basically I am doing this on my home computer. It is asking me for Server type, Server name, and Authentication. Do I have to set up a server instance to run and create the sample database? How?
    Thanks.
    Peter

    Do you see anything in the Server Name at all?
    So, in the first drop down you need to select Database Engine.
    In the second (for Server Name) if you see anything, then try selecting it.
    If there is nothing, try methods described in this article
    http://sqlserver-help.com/2011/06/19/help-whats-my-sql-server-name/
    to find the actual name.
    Then, try choosing Windows Authentication and try connecting. If this would not work, then you do need to try using sa and sa's password. If there is no way to find that sa password, then perhaps it's better to clearly uninstall and re-install. If you want,
    I'll move your thread into either 'Getting Started' or Data Access forum as it doesn't seem to be related with Transact SQL.

  • How to restore a database backup taken from a SQL Server 2012 instance to SQL Server 2014

    I am trying to restore a database backup taken from a SQL Server 2012 instance to my new SQL Server 2014 instance.  When I add the .bak through the Mgmt studio UI, it does not seem to find a backup set in the file so I cannot proceed (does not give
    me any errors though either.  I tried restoring through TSQL command but only got a database restore terminating abnormally error with no other details.  How can I restore this database to SQL 2014?

  • SQL server name change - old content DB mounted but url is empty

    Reconfigured Sharepoint with new sql server name by creating new farm administration, then mounted the old wss content DB.
    When i open the old site name is says page cannot be found. Then i went and recreated the site using the same site name and it works but it does not show the old content. Please help.
    The aim is to shift Sharepoint from pointing to the old SQL Server to the new server.
    nchiliza

    Hi Nchiliza,
    How did you mount the old content database to the new SharePoint?
    From your description, it seems that the database was not mounted successfully.
    If the database has been mounted successfully, then all the site collections created in the original web application will be listed under the new web application. You can check this in Central Administration.
    I recommend to detach the content database and then reattach it again.
    Dismount-SPContentDatabase "<ContentDBName>"
    Mount-SPContentDatabase "<ContentDBName>" -DatabaseServer "<DBServerName" -WebApplication
    http://SiteName

  • Universe on SQL Server

    We are trying to build a universe on SQL server tables (nearly 20 dimensional and 8 fact tables). Difficulty here is almost all the KPIs we want to show are derived KPIs and requirement is we need to show them in dashboards so the approach is SQL Server --> Universe --> Live Office --> XCelcius Dashboards.
    My question here is where we can calculate these KPIs and what is the best approach whether to derive these KPIs at universe level or in the Dash board. Please let me know your views.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sathish.

    Derived tables please, dashboard's arent  all that  happy with an overload of calculations etc
    With derived table you'll be 'using' views on the database and by that using your database to calculated.
    What every you can do at the lowest level in the chain do it there.
    Im used to oracle but i create'd the select\calculation sql code needed on the database via a sql viewer and chucked that into derived tables.

  • Can SQL server 2014 instance be introduced into SQL server 2012 clustering

    Hello, everyone,
    We have SQL server clustering set up in place (it is actually windows clustering), I am wondering if it is possible to introduce SQL server 2014 instance
    into this clustering. Please share us your thoughts and experiences.
    Thanks

    if you are talking about SQL clustering -(FAILOVER CLUSTERED  INSTANCES) , yes, you can do that.
    you have windows cluster with nodea,nodeb....and you can install two different instances of failover clustered sql - sql 2012 and sql 2014.
    Hope it Helps!!

  • Report Services Install - SQL Server 2012 instance blank

    I have looked at all the links and tried the suggestions and I am still having the problem: 
    SCCM 2012 R2                         SQL 2012 SP1 SSRS installed and configured (separate boxes)
    When I try to add the reporting services role, it finds the SCCM database and verifies connectivity to it, the SSRS instance drop down is blank.
    Using a domain service accout with local admin rights on both machines and sa rights in SQL.
    There is a firewall between the Primary Server and the SQL Server and ports 80, 135, 443, 445, 1433 and the high RPC range.
    Does anyone know how it is determining the instance?  I have read it is via WMI but I am not sure if it is a query or executing a method.  I have verified the svc acct has the correct DCOM privs.

    Hi Jo75,
    According to my understanding, you get the error message “Unable to connect to the database: Network error IOException: Connection refused: connect” when you connect to the SQL Server database
    during installation of Trend Micro's DSM.  
    Based on my test, I was able to connect to the SQL Server database with the user name “sa” during the installation of Deep Security Manager and no error message appeared. Besides, I created
    a new SQL Server login and it also worked fine.
    Make sure you can connect to the SQL Server instance successfully, you can follow these steps:
    1. Open SQL Server Management Studio and click Database Engine from pull-down menu of Connect in Object Explorer.
    2. In the Server name box, you should type hostname\instance name. And you should choose SQL Server Authentication in Authentication box and type “sa” in Login box, then type your password
    and click Connect.
    If you can’t connect to SQL Server, you can try to create a new login and give it full permission. Please follow these steps:
    1. Open SQL Server Management Studio and connect to SQL Server with administrator account.
    2. Click Security and right click Logins then choose New Login.
    3. In General page, type your new Login name and choose SQL Server Authentication, then set your password.
    4. Click Server Roles
    at
    the
    top-left
    corner
    and check the dbcreator box.
    5. Click Status at the top-left corner and check enabled under the login, then click ok.
    6. Click the database you want to connect during the installation of Deep Security Manager, expand the security and right click the users, then choose New User.
    7. Type your user name and login name in General page. Click Owned Schemas page and check db_owner. Also check db_owner in Membership page then click ok.
    8. Retry install Deep Security Manager.
    Please follow these steps and how it works.

  • Using a SQL Server database instance for repository

    Hi,
    My customer is using a non-default instance on SQL server as their database and want to place the repository here.  There are no problems creating and connecting to the repository from the Designer.  I simply define the server as "SERVER\INSTANCE" and I can connect OK.
    The problem occurs in the Management Console, when I try to create an entry for this new repository.  The Add process returns a Java error, telling me that the connection is being refused.  I have checked, and re-checked, that all of the inputs are correct.  I believe that this has something to do with the fact that the repository is an instance, rather than just the default database instance.
    I have tried various differing ways of entering the server and database strings, with no positive result.  I tried entering the following in the Server and Database entry fields:
    SERVER\INSTANCE  with DATABASENAME
    SERVER
    INSTANCE with DATABASENAME
    SERVER/INSTANCE with DATABASENAME
    INSTANCE@SERVER with DATABASENAME
    SERVER.INSTANCE with DATABASENAME
    SERVER with INSTANCE\DATABASENAME
    SERVER with INSTANCE.DATABASENAME
    All give an error - some return a "connection refused", some return a "server not found" error.
    Any recommendation short of re-installing the database as a default instance would be appreciated.
    DI and SQL Server reside on the same server running Windows 2003 Server R2 SE with SP2.  Management Console runs in Apache Tomcat 5.5 on the same box.
    Regards,
    Derek.
    Edited by: Derek Stobbart on Oct 1, 2008 5:14 PM

    Hi Derek,
    The Management Console does not support the \INSTANCE syntax -- the reason is that it uses JDBC to connect to repositories.  When you add a SQL Server repository to the Management Console, note that it is asking you for hostname, port, and database name.  You will need to provide it the port that the instance is running on (e.g. default=1433).  You can get this from the person who administers the SQL Server instance.
    Thanks,
    ~Scott

  • Cannot find SQL Server 2008 instance

    I have installed SQL server 2008 Developer edition on my laptop. When I open SSMS I cannot find the installed instance under the Server Name group and When I choose the Browse More option and go to Database engine, the instance name does not show up. Will
    appreciate any suggestions.
    Thanks
    akoranteng

    >>I see two instances of SQL Server 2008 when i issue the commands you suggested to me
    I don't why you have two instances, may be you installed two different instances.
    I think local servers list is obtained by reading the registry key
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server \Instance Names\SQL
    Sometimes (don't know why may it is SQL browser service or something else messed up) you don't see a locally installed instance on the drop down list. Just
    type in the instance name manually inside the textbox for server name and you should be able to connect

  • Issues installing SQL Server 2008 instance - Install fails

    Hi there,
    I have a server windows server 2008 R2 standard.
    While doing an Enterprise to Standard downgrade, I have removed enterprise edition of SQL Server 2008, rebooted and while installing standard edition, I get the below error saying "You
    SQL server 2008 installation completed with failures. Some or all identity references could not be translated"
    Bit of background. This server has another express instance of SQL Server 2008. I have used local system account, network service as well as our general SQL service account, but I get the error
    towards the end of the installation and it fails saying “Some or all identity references could not be translated.”
    I am installing a named instance with the same name as before but fails. I have tried creating a test instance that fails too. Any ideas? I have also run the clean up utility but no joy.
    Cheers
    Faltaf

    Hi FAltafB,
    According to your description, you come across the error that some or all identity references could not be translated. Please help to post SQL Server setup error log for analysis. By default, SQL Server setup summary and detail logs located in C:\Program
    Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log.
    Based on my research, this issue could be due to the incomplete uninstallation for previous installation. Another cause could be that you are installing SQL Server after your machine becomes a domain controller.
    To troubleshoot the issue, please pay attention to the points below.
    1. Make sure you have administrative rights on the computer, uninstall all the components related with SQL Server 2008 enterprise from the control panel and delete registry keys mentioned in the article:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sreekarm/archive/2010/03/15/sql-express-is-not-installed-properly-steps-to-be-taken-before-reinstall-again.aspx
    2. Use
    SQL Server 2008 R2 Best Practice Analyzer to detect if SQL Server is installed on a domain controller. If SQL Server is installed on a domain controller, please demote your machine from being a domain controller and install the SQL Server again since it
    is not recommended to install SQL Server on a domain controller.

    Michelle Li

  • Could not connect to my sql server second instance

    connection problem in sql server 2008 . i installed second instance
    but it does not connect 

    1. Make sure SQL Server Service is running
    2. If a named instance, make sure SQL Server browser service is running
    3. Make sure SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections
    4. Examine the SQL Server error log for messages confirming that SQL is listening on the expected network interfaces and ports
    5. Test server connectivity with PING from the client machine
    6. Test port connectivity using TELNET or PowerShell to the server and port (from step 4) from the client machine.  For example
    a. TELNET <server-name> 1433
    b. PowerShell: 1433 | % { echo ((new-object Net.Sockets.TcpClient).Connect("YourServerName",$_)) "server listening on TCP port $_" }
    7. Check firewall settings if step 5 or 6 connectivity test fails

  • How is the impact when a sql server cluster instance failover to a downlevel version node?

    Hi,
    I have a one instance two nodes sql 2012 cluster, node1's sql 2012 version is 11.0.5522, node2's sql 2012 version is 11.0.3000, node1 is active.
    When sql server failover from node1 to node2, it succeed. I want to konw if this downlevel failover  impact database (data or usage)?
    Many thanks.

    I would not say this as a correct configuration although you can do it. Downside is suppose node 1 which is on higer version has some bug fixed with patch when you failover to lower version that bug might re surface. I have never used nodes with different
    version nor i recommend.

  • SQLDeveloper cannot connect to SQL Server named instances

    I'm trying to connect to a SQL Server 2005 named instance on my local PC but SQLDeveloper is failing to connect as there is no way to specify the named instance on the connection screen.
    For comparison I set up a jdbc connection in JDeveloper and
    the connection URL which works in JDeveloper is jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://127.0.0.1:8020;instance=WESTERNEUROPE
    Without the instance property JDeveloper gets a connection refused

    Set up the connection through SQL developer, then exit the software.
    For a sqlserver database like GABRIEL\angel
    Modify the URL property in the IDEConnections.xml file
    <URL>jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://GABRIEL:1433;instance=angel</URL>
    You cannot use Windoze authenrication, and will need a SQL Server named user to connect.
