Visio 2013 Org Chart Pictures using Exchange as a Data Source

When I run the org chart wizard it creates the org charts however no pictures show up. How do I make the pictures show up when Exchange is the data source? We use Exchange 2010, Lync 2010, Outlook 2010 & 2013 and pictures show up in all those apps and
are loaded in AD.
WHat needs to be checked or configured to have the org-chart in Visio 2013 show those pictures?

Hi，
If you want to show the pictures in the Organization chart， we need to add the photo the display
fields. Please try to do the following steps:
Create a new Organization chart> Organization Chart Wizard choose information that's already stored in a file or database> Choose A microsft Exchange Server directory> Select Photo and add to display fields> Choose the information which you want
to show> I want to specify how much of my Organization to display on each page > Choose the team

Visio 2013 Org Chart Changing Picture Quality

Hi,
I'm trying to make an org chart with a lot of employees. I can generate the chart with the wizard, but if I add pictures, Visio tends to crash before finishing. I ended up generating the org chart with the wizard and then added the pictures using vba and the
ChangePicture function. This works well enough to solve the crashing problem. However, for larger JPEG images (300KB or larger), many of them don't seem to show up. If they do, they tend to randomly disappear and reappear when I go through the different pages
of the chart and come back to it. Is there a way to lower the picture quality using vba before or after putting them on the chart?
Thanks,
Bobby

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, we might try to troubleshooting the Visio 2013 crash during you using the Organization chart and check if it is helpful. I have some questions:
How many images do you insert to the diagram?
Where do you get the
organization information (Photos)? Form exchange server, text, excel file or ODBC-compliant data source?
Please try the following methods:
Install the latest patches.
Start Visio in
safe mode.
Repair Visio.
Add the size of virtual memory
If the issue still exists, please check what happened when Visio 2013 crash via the
event log.
If you need further assistance about "lower the picture quality" via VBA, please post your question to MSDN forum:

Can you use SQL as a data source for a project in the same way you can in Excel?

Excel allows you to create a data source that executes a SQL stored procedure, display that data as a table in a spreadsheet and have that data automatically refresh each time you open the spreadsheet. Is it possible to do the same thing in MS Project, displaying
the data from the stored procedure as a series of tasks?
Here's what I'm trying to do - I have a stored procedure that pulls task data meeting a specific criteria from all projects in Project Server. We're currently displaying this data as an Excel report. However, the data includes start dates and durations so
it would be nice to be able to display it as a Gantt Chart. I've played around with creating a Gantt chart in Excel and have been able to do a very basic one, but it doesn’t quite fit our needs.

No, You can not use sql as a data source for a project.
You have 3 options to achieve it:
1. You can create a Sharepoint list with desired column ,fill desired data in that list then you can create a MS project from Sharepoint List.
2. You can create a SSRS report in which you can display grantt chart Joe has given you that link.
3. You can write a macro in MPP which will take data from your excel. In excel you will fetch data from your stored procedure. write a schedule which will run every day to update your data or
create an excel report in which will update automatically and write macro in mpp which will fetch the data then publish it so that it would be available to team members.

Using 2 web services data sources in the same report

I've been trying unsuccesffuly to use 2 web services data sources in a report. The main report accesses the first web service to get job summary information. 3 fields are are passed as parameters to a sub-report and used as parameters for the sub-report selection. Each report works fine independently, but when I link them together the subreport alway fails to retrieve data.

Please re-post if this is still an issue or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly:

Using XML as a Data Source

In http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10540/datasource.htm#CHDBCAIJ it states you can use XML as your data source and mentions...
URLs can include repository or session variables, providing support for HTTP data sources that accept user IDs and passwords embedded in the URL. For example:
http://somewebserver/cgi.pl?userid=valueof(session_variable1)&password=valueof(session_variable2)
I'm trying to pass this:
http://somewebserver/cgi.pl?userid=valueof(NQ_SESSION.USER)
but when I try that I can see in my web server logs that the content of the userid variable is 'valueof(NQ_SESSION.USER)' so it's not passing the results to the web server, just the text. Any ideas what's going on? Is my syntax correct? Thanks!

Hey,
There are a few things to look at when using session and repository variables within the RPD.
One of the first documents you need to reference is the "What is the Syntax for Referencing Variable?" section within the OBI documentation. In addition look at this section on how to use variables in the RPD, http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10540/variables.htm#BIEMG3104
Basically you are trying to use NQ_SESSION.USER which is the syntax for trying to show the user name is Presentation Services. Of course you can see this in your web server logs because that is the correct syntax for presentation services web tier but not the RPD where you define your XML Source.
You need to try either use VALUEOF("USER") or you are simply forgeting to put the syntax surrounded by single-quotes like, http://somewebserver/cgi.pl?userid='valueof(NQ_SESSION.USER)' to pull the system session variable into the XML URL as needed.
Try those options and let me know if that works.
Please mark this as the correct answer or helpful.
Cheers,
Christian

Sharepoint 2013 Org Chart Viewer

Hello,
I have a sharepoint 2013 site for a project I'm working on. I want to put the org chart viewer on a page that exists outside of the my site. I have put the web part on the my site, exported it and then put it on the page
where I want it and it fails to load. I have also taken the HTML used for the web part from the my site page and put it on the page, but it still fails to load.
Is it possible to put the org chart viewer control on a non my site page? If so, how is this done?
Thanks
Jim

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to put the org chart viewer control on a non my site page.
It is possible to put the org chart viewer control on a non my site page.
SharePoint 2013 Server come with a feature called the "Organisation Browser" to display organisational information. By default the web part is located on every user’s ‘My Profile’ tab on their MySite and it can be added to other pages if required.
SharePoint Org Chart web part provides all of the capabilities mentioned above that the SharePoint Organization Browser lacks, plus a whole lot more.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look at:

Authentication Failed using K2 SmartObjects as Data source

I have an issue with Visual Studio 2010 and the K2 Smart Objects Data source. I continue to get Authentication Failed: SEC_E_LOGON_DENIED. I log into a corporate domain and then VPN into another domain where the K2 database and SQL Server are located.
After looking at the Windows logs it is apparent that the credentials being used are the first ones(corporate domain) and not the ones that I specified when using the Data source option for my application. I specify the correct domain/userid, port number and
password. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi BBVillarreal,
Since it is related to K2 Smart Objects, I’m afraid that it is really out of support range of VS IDE forum, but you can try ask this question at the forum about the K2 smart objects for better support.
I’m not very sure that the real forum, but I found some sites which are related to it, maybe you could get the correct forum for it.

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.

Using Web Service as Data source (Pluggable Data Source) in Oracle Reports

Anyone using Webservice as a pluggable data source in oracle 10g reports.(Report builder version:10.1.2.0.2)? We need to be able to use web service as one of the data source to create reports.Tried the following and ran into issues:
Imported the wspds.jar fle from oracle plugin exchage. When tried using it received the following error in oracle reports trace file.
04/26 22:27:22 java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: oracle.xml.parser.schema.XSDBuilder.build([Loracle/xml/parser/v2/XMLDocument;Ljava/net/URL;)Ljava/lang/Object;
By troubleshooting issue found out that xmlparserv2.jar in 10g is newer than xmlparserv2.jar in 9i. wspds.jar is using xmlparserv2.jar in 9i as it was developed and tested for 9i only. Believe there is no newer wspds.jar file developed specifically for 10g?
Is there a better/standard solution to use webservice as data source in oracle 10g reports? Does later version of oracle reports supports webservice as a data source without any additional plugins? Any suggestion would be helpful.

Please provide support for the above request.
It appears that Oracle 10g reports doesn't support Web Service as pluggable data source. Is this option is available in Oracle 11g Reports or Oracle Discoverer Or OBIEE?

Report that uses web services as data source, prompts for database logon

I have a crystal report that uses web services as a data source. When I deploy the report to Infoview it prompts me for a database username and password. Since I am not using a database it should not prompt me for these. I tried various options in the CMC->database settings for this report but it still prompts me for the database logon info or tells me that the database logon information is incorrect.
The report work fine in the Crystal Reports Designer.
Does anyone know how I can prevent this report from prompting me for the database logon info ?
Thanks,

What options have you tried in the CMC?
Have you tried running the report in Crystal Reports installed directly on the Enterprise machine?

EBS performance impact using it as a Data Source

I have a quick question on EBS performance. If I set up the EBS Database as a data source for SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services), would there be a performance impact on EBS, due to SSRS accessing EBS Data for reports generation? Now, I know there'll always be a hit depending on the volume of data being accessed. But, my question is, will it be significantly higher using an external reporting tool using an ODBC connection rather than native XML Publisher.

But, my question is, will it be significantly higher using an external reporting tool using an ODBC connection rather than native XML Publisher.Hi,
Tough to answer without looking at data; my suggestion would be to have a test EBS environment setup, get permission from the vendors to run performance test without buying license - compare AWRs from both scenarios and then decide.
Generally speaking, native XML publisher (BI Publisher) has less of database performance hit than external reporting tools using ODBC.
Hope this helps.

How to identify the project in CMOD used for a particular data source

Hi
I had a Business Content Data source which is enhanced with ZZ fields and user exit is written in CMOD.
How can i find in which project used to write the code for that particular data source.....
When i check CMOD i can find nearly 10 to 20 different projects
Thanks

Hi,
One simple way is goto CMOD and give project names with Z* or Y*. First findout the naming convensions following in your project and see.
Then gibe projects one by one and select COMPONENTS option and click on Display, if you find the following Function Exits means it is our DataSource project
EXIT_SAPLRSAP_001
EXIT_SAPLRSAP_002
EXIT_SAPLRSAP_003
EXIT_SAPLRSAP_004
Thanks

Problem when using MS Access as data source

I want to get the source data from MS Access Database and load the data into a Oracle Database by OWB.
I created a ODBC for the Access Database,and added the correlative informations in the files such as hs/admin/initmsaces.ora��network/admin/listener.ora��network/admin/tnsname.ora.
Then I created a new module under the "DataBase->Other->ODBC" in OWB,the schema I selected is "Undefine"��it is the only one selection��Then I created some mappings.All these steps are successful.
But when I was deploying the project,OWB reported a wrong: Talbe or View is not exist.
I want to know how can I resolve the problem.
Thanks!

I think we are having the same problem and (I think) set up everything as described in the note.
We are using an ODBC connection to an MS-Access database with OWB 9.2. We have successfully defined the data source to OWB, and imported 2 target tables, then mapped one of the tables to a staging table.
The mapping process validates correctly. From Deployment Manager, we register the source file location, which asks for a schema owner, username, and
password. We supply the value admin for each of these as Location Registration windows requires a value for each [no blanks allowed] and the registration is successful.
However, when we Generate/Deploy the mapping, the Generate succeeds, but deployment fails with the error PL/SQL: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist. Looking at the generated code, we see that the SELECT statement in the generated mapping code specifies the source table as owner.table_name@db_link.
From SQL*Plus, the table_name@db_link can be described correctly. Trying to describe owner.table_name@db_link fails with object does not exist error, which is similar to the OWB table does not exist error.
MS-Access has no concept of schema-owner. Is there a way to generate the Mapping without specifying the schema-owner ??.

Can Discoverer be used as an XML Data source for XMLP ?

I am wondering if Discoverer can generate an XML Data Source for XMPL.
I have heard that Discoverer Viewer can have XML as an output. Is there a way of using this XML output with XMLP and, if yes, how to batch both steps ?

Hi
My understanding is that Discoverer does not generate XML data as an ouput that XMLP can consume. The XML is does generate is actually an XML RDF for Oracle Reports.
XMLP is integrated thou, when you export your Disco report to PDF thats XMLP doing the conversion to PDF for you.
