Repository creation in Informatica Powercenter with MS SQL Server Database - informatica

I am trying to create Repository in Informatica PowerCenter 10.4x version. I am using database MS SQL Server.
I can see the repository created in admin console but the error says 'This PowerCenter Repository Service is unavailable'.
I guess the connect string that I am using is in wrong format. The format I am using is host_name#db_name

Is there any way to load analytics-dashboard wso2 with mssql DB?

I am using the MSSQL database for WSO2 API manager 3.2.0 and want to use analytics. When I changed the database to MSSQL, this error appeared. How can I solve this problem?
You need to add the MSSQL JDBC driver to the <API-M_ANALYTICS_HOME>/lib directory to use MSSQL as the external database for Analytics. I have tried with mssql-jdbc version 8.2.2.jre8. Since mssql-jdbc depends on OSGi Service JDBC you will need to add that jar as well to the <API-M_ANALYTICS_HOME>/lib directory. You may use the following links to download the jars,
OSGi Service JDBC - https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.osgi/org.osgi.service.jdbc/1.0.1
Microsoft JDBC Driver For SQL Server - https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.microsoft.sqlserver/mssql-jdbc/8.2.2.jre8
If you still face issues after adding the above jars, please add the complete stack trace related to the error. You can find the logs in the carbon.log file located at <API-M_ANALYTICS_HOME>/wso2/worker/logs.

Cannot connect on-premise gateway with postgres on PowerBI

With powerbi desktop I can easily connect with postgres database on server(192.168.1.5:32100) running on a port and a database_name. But doing the same with PowerBI on premise gateway I could not connect when adding a data source on gateway setting(gateway cluster). Below screenshot for reference. The first picture is of PowerBI desktop and the second one is on gateway settings. Is it something with the port?If yes I was able to connect on PowerBI desktop, if no then is there any way or am I missing something. Thanks in advance for the help.
Method 1
Install the Npgsql provider on the server that's hosting the data gateway (https://www.nuget.org/packages/Npgsql/4.0.2)
Reboot the server
Method 2
Connecting to PostgreSQL database using ODBC Connector
Using the below link download the latest version of ODBC connection for PostgreSQL database and Install
https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/odbc/versions/msi/
After installation completed, open the Power BI Desktop and choose Get Data
Instead of selecting postgresql database, this time we will choose ODBC. Select ODBC and click on Connect
A window will open and select “None” as Datasource Name (DSN)
In the same window, we have connection string. Here we have to provide proper connection details to connect postgresql database. We won’t be able to click “OK” until we have provided the correct connection string.
To get the proper connection string use this link.
https://www.connectionstrings.com/postgresql-odbc-driver-psqlodbc/
We have given the below connection string and able to click on “OK”
Connection String:
Driver={PostgreSQL ANSI(x64)}; Server=localhost; Port=6433; Database=foodmart
Enter the credentials and select the tables
Create a report and publish in Power BI service
Login to Power BI service and open settings of a report dataset
Expand gateway connection and now we can see that gateway is enabled and it is connected local gateway
Expand the data source credentials and enter the database credentials
Now go to datasets and click on refresh icon of the dataset
Dataset will get refreshed using the gateway
Should now be able to use the PostgreSQL data source type when creating the data source in Power BI Service.
Thanks,

Is it possible to run Apex on other then database server?

Is there anyway to run apex on application server while having database on another server. I meant to say that I want to make one database server in which oracle database will be installed and another application server on that apex will be installed?
Is there any possible way to do that?
I've tried it by connect through remote database and it is working but I had to install oracle database on both server.
NO. APEX is a set of PL/SQL and SQL code that MUST execute in the Oracle database. You could run a smaller DB on the app server to host APEX apps and host the customer data tables on a different server. But APEX must run in an Oracle DB. Period.
In sort NO !
Oracle Application Express (ApEx) Engine (ApEx vestion 2,3,4,5,18,19) is running only on Oracle Database server, But for best performance, it is strongly recommended to use Web Server on seperate server,
Application Server Options for ApEx
Embedded PL/SQL Gateway (EPG)
Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) Configuration
Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS)
for further information please refer to Oracle ApEx Installaion Guide
and official site https://apex.oracle.com/ regularly!

Use web service As Datasource in CRM reporting

I working with Reporting Service (SSRS) on CRM 2011 then
I want to use Web Service as DataSource. I make simple web service that query data from CRM Database (not Filtered)
then I call it's from report preview on VS2012 It's work fine but When I deploy my Report in CRM my report not working
when I use Filtered Entity in my web service with user sa when I test It's return 0 rows and also not working on CRM
Anyone can tell me Can I use Web service as DataSource for run report on CRM ?
Thank you.
You can't use WebService as a datasource for CRM 2011. You have 2 ways - use SQL DataSource or FetchXml DataSource. You can read additional information here - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg328097.aspx - same approaches would work for CRM 2011/2013/2015.

PowerView spreadsheet throws error when displayed Sharepoint

I'm trying to access a PowerView spreadsheet in Sharepoint 2013 and I get the error below:
An error occurred while loading the model for the item or data source 'EntityDataSource'. Verify that the connection information is correct and that you have permissions to access the data source.
Here is what I have:
Server 1 - Sharepoint 2013 Server, with RS for Sharepoint Add-in installed, Analysis services feature installed
Server 2 - Contains the SQL Server installation which is used for holding the CRM 2013 databases as well as Sharepoint 2013 Config and Content databases.
I have created a Power View report in Excel 2013, using the OData
feed from my CRM 2013 organization. I saved this as .xlsx file and
uploaded to my Sharepoint site as a normal document.
I have
created an SSRS Application in Sharepoint Central Administration and
configured it to run under a service account
I have added the
following 'Servers' under my Excel Application -> Data Model settings
in Sharepoint
SQLServerName
SQLServerName\SQLInstanceName
SharepointServerName
SharepointServerName\SQLInstanceName
I have enabled the PowerView Integration Feature,
Report Server Integration Feature in my sharepoint site collection
features.
I am trying to browse to my sharepoint site and click to open the .xlsx file and I get this error.
Below is the detailed error message:
Cannot create a connection to data source 'EntityDataSource'.Microsoft.AnalysisServices.SPClient
We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model.
We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model.Microsoft.Office.Excel.Server.WebServicesWe cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model.
This question has been asked a couple times on the SharePoint SE site.
There is an MS support article from Microsoft that addresses this error. It suggests you do the following:
In the Application Management section of the Central Administration home page, click Manage service applications.
On the Manage Service Applications page, click the Excel Services service application that you want to configure.
On the Manage Excel Services page, click Data Model.
Click Add Server.
In the Server Name box, type the name of the Analysis Services instance that you want to add.
Click OK.
If that doesn't work, someone solved this problem by installing SQL Server 2012 SP1.
Someone else solved this issue by ensuring that the account used for Excel Services is an SSAS admin and then rebooting
Thank you #mmarie for the answers/comments.
I was able to partially resolve the issue by 're-installing' the Analysis services on my Sharepoint server. So it turns out I installed it the wrong way first. Followed this article to fix it.
Analysis services for SP 2013
I'm currently experiencing problem with the 'Data Refresh' within the Power Pivot/Power View reports. I have added my service account to the '"Act as part of the operating system" role on the Sharepoint server based on this article Data Refresh, however it did not resolve the issue.
Please let me know if anyone has any inputs.
