We have an SSAS server with a cube deployed on a server over the WAN.. We are trying to connect to the cube from Excel on various client workstations. The server is not on a domain with the clients. It "works" for some of us but not for others. We are trying and failing yet to determine what the difference is on the machines that work versus the ones that don't. However, even for the ones that work, it isn't as seamless as we think it should be. I'll explain:
In Excel, we use the Data-Other Sources-Analysis Server option, which presents us with the standard dialog:
standard dialog http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/de3420ec26.gif
Now, we believe the firewall and server settings are correct, because we are then presented with the dialog which lets you pick which cube to use from the server:

And, clicking "Finish" lets Excep being to work with the cube, as evidenced by the standard Excel dialog:
all seems OK http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/fdf4626609.gif
But then we are presented with the dreaded "transport layer error" message:
transport layer error http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/243d5f3d49.gif
Note that this error appears even on the machines that "work." What makes them "work" is that after clicking OK on that dialog, the next dialog appears:
mysterious new dialog http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/b8fc6bae18.gif
Once this dialog appears, you re-enter your password, and everything "just works" after that. While I'd like it to "just work" without that second dialog, at least it works... But on many machines we've tested this new dialog never comes up. Instead, they just get the following error message, leaving them out of luck:
final error http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/601b9294e3.jpg
Can anyone offer any advice for this? Thanks!
Do the connections work if you allow "NT Authority/Authenticated Users" or "NT Authority/Anonymous Logon" to connect? Would help troubleshooting at least, but it's not a great idea to leave it like that ;)

I'm wanting to sign into Mural automatically, but their web design requires a keystroke, but I can't get my design to work. I have tried, both global send keys and send events. Furthermore, the click center input doesn't seems to register. :/ Any suggestions? The delay is implemented as a recommendation by another user:
If I understand correctly you are trying to sign into this page. I have succesfully written in its email textbox just recognizing the field with the application modeler (browser mode) and a Write stage.
As esqew suggested in the comments then when I tried to sign in there was an error saying "an email is required". The solution for me was to use Navigates, first with "Global Send Keys" action and then "Click Center" for the button.
If it is not that website and it's another one it might be helpful if you add a link to the website in your question.
There could be several reasons why your send keys or the click events are not working, in order to help you it would be necessary to see the configuration inside the stages in your object.
As clarified by jnch, the problem is resolved by using global send keys and then using another navigation stage with click center. I believe this fixes the problem since the website demands borderline human interaction.
Couple of years using this site is as an invaluable resource, but first time posting.
I am having a little trouble with external data connections in Excel, specifically connecting to SQL Server through Microsoft Query.
Whenever I click
[Get External Data >
From Other Sources >
From Microsoft Query >
Choose Data Source: SQL Server]
it takes about 20 seconds before an error pops up:
Error 18452 Login Failed Untrusted Domain
After I click OK a SQL Server Login dialog box pops up with "Use Trusted Connection" pre-checked. Each time I create a new data connection in Excel (I do this dozens of times per project), I have to uncheck that box and enter a login ID/pw instead for it to work. Add all those 20 seconds up and it's actually a pretty big annoyance for the type of work I do.
My question: how do I change the connection properties to where "Use Trusted Connection" is unchecked by default and the Login ID and Password fields are pre-filled?
Here is what the connection string portion of the HTML code looks like when I right-click the appropriate .odc file in [Documents > My Data Sources] and click 'edit in notepad':
<odc:ConnectionString>Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=xx_xxxxxx;Password=xxxxxxxx;Data Source=XX.XX.XX.XX;Use Procedure for Prepare=1;Auto Translate=True;Packet Size=4096;Workstation ID=XXXXXXX;Use Encryption for Data=False;Tag with column collation when possible=False;Initial Catalog=Data_Warehouse</odc:ConnectionString>
I did look through the archives and found a few related discussions but none that addressed this question specifically. Thanks for your help. Please excuse any incorrect use of syntax and I hope I explained things clearly enough for a newbie.
As luck would have it, only after spending a bit of time researching and asking the question did I figure out the embarassingly simple answer...
The login selection defaults to whatever was chose when the connection was first created. All I had to do was create a new connection and enter the credentials with "Use Trusted Connection" unchecked. I set the original connection up in Excel almost 2 years ago when I first joined my company and must have left "Use Trusted Connection" checked without really knowing what I was doing. Which is the reason why the error kept popping up after the connection initialized and failed, at which point I had to uncheck the box and try again. Silly me. #smh
I can't enter a race, I always get an error saying "Unable to enter on "
Is there an place where I can get any log info?
Any other sugestion?
A couple of things to check:
What server are you trying to race on?
What AI are you trying to race with? Intermediate or Agent?
On the enter race window does your username appear on the bottom left next to a logout button?
The most likely cause of this is either you are not logged in (this should give a different error) or you are using an agent on a local Liberty server and something is preventing the server from starting. If it is an agent AI then you may see errors in your local Eclipse console - to make it visible in the code rally perspective go to window>show view>console. Any log output from the local Liberty server and your AI code will appear there, including any error messages.
We have been getting an error prompt/alert in our XPages application at random times:
"An error occurred while updating some of the page...status:12152" and
"An error occurred while updating some of the page...status:12029"
We can't seem to pin it down to anything. Maybe someone has an idea of what these errors are referring to or maybe how to track it back to something? Thanks.
The HTTP 12152 error usually points to a network connection issue rather than anything specific to the browser or the Domino server.12029 again is down to an inability to make a connection to the server.
It sounds like the network connection is intermittent. I don't know what tools there are to test that, but I would suggest confirming you have a good, stable network connection between PC and server and that it's not getting negatively impacted by a firewall.
It looks like your application is trying to partially refresh content on the screen, and that this partial refresh fails. This can be because the component with that id is no longer found in the component tree.
Have a look at your XPages source code for controls with an id of MainContent and refreshPanel3 and find any partial refreshes on those controls. Check the rendered/loaded property for these controls to see if they are hidden in certain cases. If you do not render a control and want to display it using a partial refresh, you must partially refresh an outer component that contains the non-rendered control.
Use browser's network debug (F12 in Chrome/IE/Firefox w Firebug) to get real server response, it usually contains error page with more info. Failed partial refresh should be the last POST request.
I have a NSF , in that "new request" one action button is there, when am clicking that one, first it is throwing an error like "Master database cannot found please contact "NSF name" administrator" and it will opening the corresponding page.
Here my question is
Is that database is linkup with another( may be that's why it is throwing the error), if so then how can i link up the master database with the actual database to avoid that error
please help..thank you very much
There is apparently a missing configuration document that identifies to the master database. The person who wrote the code actually wrote a good error trapping routine because it tells you what happened. However, without seeing the code, we can't tell you how to fix the problem.
There is no specific "linkage" between Notes databases. The developer wrote custom code to interact with that other database and there's no way to know how without seeing that code.
Action buttons that access other Notes databases typically use the filepath and server name or sometimes the target database replicaID, if these are hardcoded in the new request action button (very bad programming, but not uncommon in old applications) and the target database has been moved, or renamed or more likely a copy has been made with a new replicaID then the button will fail.
The path to the target database may also be stored in a configuration document which hasn't been updated when one of the above happened. These will usually only be accessible to database administrators and hidden unless you have manager or manager level access to the database. You will need to get the Lotus Notes adminis involved but look at the code so you can tell them what they are looking for.
