We have cognos analytics which we want to connect to Hyperion cube but domain network in which they both are present are different because Hyperion is an application which over parent company owns and Cognos is owned by the my company which is a sister company to corporate.
Is their any other way we can access the Hyperion cube directly in cognos.
You should be able to use the Oracle Essbase data source available within the IBM Cognos Administration\Configuration.
If you are using the compatible query mode(CQM) you'll need to install the Essbase client, set the environment variables and possibly adjust the cqe_config.xml depending on your version.
If you are using the dynamic query mode(DQM) you'll need to copy the Jar files into the drivers folder within the Report Server install.
All the above is covered in more detail via the following link:

we have a case management system stored with the vendor, and use an excel file on a server locally to access some data, so have an ODBC link setup with security etc.
We are looking to dump the server, and i want to know if there is a way to have the excel file which will be put onto a sharepoint folder have the ODBC link embedded or linked so that a specific machine is not needed to be setup for its use.
I hope that makes sense...
I am new in AX.
My boss gave me to task to access tables of AX 2012 from C#.
Following are the criteria:
Code should be generic. (user will give me table name, column name
and any condition if there, to execute insert, delete, update or
select queries).
Client and server may be or may not be in same
Client and server may be or may not be in same
domain Without any installation on client machine
I tried Business connector. But, we can't use business connector outside the domain and it requires installation on client machine
I tried web service. But, We need to add service reference for each web service group.
Is there any thing best suitable for my requirement? Or am I missing something while using above two ways?
Please help to resolve this issue. I am doing this since last month.
You can use AifGenericDocumentService. The wsdl is available by default at http://_AOS_:_8101_/DynamicsAx/Services/AifGDS?singleWsdl.
This is a generic web service, so if you don't know the schema for target tables you can also use MetadataService at http://_AOS_:_8101_/DynamicsAx/Services/MetadataService?singleWsdl
You can see an example at https://community.dynamics.com/ax/b/microsoftdynamicsaxintegration/archive/2012/05/06/microsoft-dynamics-ax-2012-application-integration-framework-custom-web-service-loosely-typed
I have some application, that use cognos as report engine. This application have some predefined packages for it's reports.
When I need to create report, I use tables and field in predefined packages, and everything is OK!
But now I created my own table, and I want to make report for this table. But I don't see it in Cognos Report Studio, and I can't add it into default Ad-Hoc Query Layer. I tried to add SQL-query, but it also don't work.
How to edit predefined packages in Cognos. I think there need to be another utility, not Cognos Report Studio. But I don't know what utility, and I can't find any solution in IBM Help.
You need to use IBM Cognos Framework Manager (if you have a Cognos BI Admin license, you'll also be licensed to use this), and edit the 'Model'. If the 'predefined package' you're referring to comes with models (e.g. the Cognos sample data is within the /webcontent/samples/models directory), then you can open these with Framework Manager and publish a new package with your update database structure.
I have error in configuration of SQL-query. Need to select source before SQL-check. Cognos don't need to have predefined packages to work with user-structures.
I am doing trend analysis of data from lotus notes. I need to manually export data from lotus notes and import it into excel. Is there a way to automate this? I can even work with Access. I tried to create an agent and I do not have access to do so.
There are many ways to do this, depending on your skills and your access to the Notes database.
First of all, when you say "I do not have access to [create an agent]", are you saying that you don't have designer access to the database where the data lives?
If that is the case, simply build a separate Notes application, and write your export agent there. Put that application on the same server, and you can set the export to run every night 8or whenever you like).
Another option is to use COM in Access and pull the data over that way. You have all the COM classes documnented in the Domino Designer help, and the code should be very similar to what you would writ in Lotusscript.
A third option, if the database is web enabled, is to use HTTP to pull the data out of views. You can read it using ?ReadViewEntries, either as XML or as JSON. This requires that all the data you need is exposed in the view, though.
I think the first option is the best, though. However, if you have been tasked with creating this export, you should be able to ask for proper access to the database...
I know this is a past posting, but someone may need the latest answers get to Domino Data.
You can export any view in Notes. File -> Export -> Select CSV as the option.
Then there is the IBM ODBC driver. There are two versions. One for 8.5.3 and another for 9.x. Download here http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/toolkits.html
Instructions on how to install here http://xpagesbeast.com/uxdesign/dont-forget-about-the-notessql-driver/
Using DomSQL which is a true JDBC driver for Notes Domino data. Non Notes environments can execute SQL SELECT queries using this JDBC driver.
http://www.openntf.org/main.nsf/blog.xsp?permaLink=NHEF-8Q7AW3
Using the Domino REST Services. You can access DominoData through a URL and it returns JSON. There are URLs to get all database instances on the server, then you can get all views in the server, and you can then access documents in the views.
http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ddwiki.nsf/xpAPIViewer.xsp?lookupName=IBM+Domino+Access+Services+9.0.1#action=openDocument&content=catcontent&ct=api
If you cannot create an agent (no designer access) you can try to install NotesSQL (ODBC driver) besides your Notes Client and access with Excel, MsQuery, etc. with your user id.
You can find more information here: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/products/notesdomino/notessql/
I'm in a machine that has already SharePoint installed, so when I started the SharePoint Central Administration to config, this message appear to me: "Can not connect to the database configuration."
How do I know which database is configured SharePoint?
Normally the Admin database is created using the naming convention SharePoint_AdminContent_{GUID}. However if there's more than one, you'll need to use SQL Management studo or other tool to look inside the DBs, look for a table called "DatabaseInformation" which will contain two items, look in the AlternateAccessMappingXML entry and look for the XML tage IncomingUrl, that should help you narrow it down.
Or just use the SQL profiler and watch for connections.
By default SharePoint will install the Database on the same machine as the web server, but you can ask whoever installed SharePoint on the machine.
Anyhow, most likely it's not relevant and something else is the problem, follow the resolution methods described here and you'll probably have it fixed.
