Pl help me to read data from a password protected excel file with informatica
Basically i need to convert excel to csv and read with informatica
Thanks
Never done that, but I would do as follows.
Excel is accessible using ODBC. So define a ODBC data source in the server
(you would probably have to define a NAME in excel to delimitate the area you want imported).
Using (in Designer). Source->Import from database
you can then create the Source and specify the password.

I'm importing data from Storage to SQL GCP (MySql datacloud). When I select the .sql file and the database there is an error message: Sorry, there’s a problem. If you entered information, check it and try again. Otherwise, the problem might clear up on its own, so check back later.
I'm trying using only one catalog table and I have the same mistake. Could you help me? please
Have you created the database before?
It seems that the problem might be with the sql file, that file is a sql dump?
The normal process for migrating to CloudSQL would be:
Create the instance, if your source will be (MySQL) you need to select MySQL.
Create database
Select the database, IMPORT
Select from sql file, and select the file
You need to have permissions for creating an instance and database.
Are you able to input correct parameters like (correct GCS path, valid file, correct database name and table)? Please note that for compressed (.gz file) and sql (dump) file, SQL format should be selected instead of CSV.

I was wondering if it is possible to create a data connection through VBA connecting an Access 2010 table hosted on SharePoint 2010 and Excel 2010? if so what would the code look like? The code would need to be in vba for excel
Since my original post, I have found a work around and I hope this helps others. Here is the connection string needed to connect excel to a Access service table.
Sub LinkedSharePointList()
ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add SourceType:=xlSrcExternal, _
Source:=Array("URL HERE", "TABLE NAME HERE", _
"{GUID HERE}"), LinkSource:=True, Destination:=Range("A1")
End Sub
* It is important to note that you must save the excel file as a 97-2003 .xls file. The excel file will still run macros and save (though there will be an warning as you try to save the file, just check the don't remind me box). Also, in order for the table to update to your access service table, you need to right click the table (in excel)-> table->synchronize to SharePoint list.
I also wrote a macro to update the access service table using a button control but did not include that here. If you are unsure what your GUID is then import the table from access service to excel, under the data tab->connections->Properties->Definition and in the 'Command Text:' after will be the GUID.
Can I use a web service as a data source for creating Excel pivot tables?
Currently, the soure data for the pivot table is being exported from our SQL db to a CSV file. Then, the CSV file is loaded into a worksheet. From there, a pivot table is created in the same workbook.
Customers login to a website, click some links, and an excel file (with data and pivot table) is generated. This is a public app so the preference is to not connect directly to the DB.
We control the database and generate the output. We are looking to streamline this process. The SQL db and pivot tables can not / will not change.
See http://www.vertex42.com/News/excel-web-query.html
What format does the "public-facing website" use in making the data available? A data file, a table on a web page? This issue will determine how much of a scraping operation you'll need to do.
You'll still need to write the web service and have it run on a server. A possible alternative is to use Yahoo Pipes to do the conversions for you.
We have a some ETL processes that read CSV files that are output from SAS programs. I'm in the process of upgrading one of these ETLs and was wondering if I could use SSIS to read directly from the SAS dataset.
Has anybody done this successfully?
See here
"You can use SAS Local Data Provider (can be downloaded separately and comes as part of SAS for Windows installation). "
Recently I've moved data from SAS environment:
In connection manager I choose _Native OLE DB\SAS Local Data Provider 9.3_
Enter file name (`\..\dev` before the table name). Click OK
Drag _OLE DB Source_ into the Data Flow
Right click on _OLE DB Source_ and choose _Show advanced editor_
In the first tab (_Connection Manager_) choose _SAS Connection Manager_ from drop down list you created now
In the Component Properties tab in _OpenRowset_ write the name of the table, click OK

For loading SAS XPT or SAS7BDAT data files without having an instance of SAS to connect to via OBDC we used the following
A third party tool (STATTransfer) to read the XPT file
STATTransfer ODBC driver
Setup the connection in SSIS as an ODBC datasource and load into the database for processing.
There are SAS datasource SSIS extension available http://www.cozyroc.com offer a SAS Data connection, but they where outside our price range
