I'm taking my first crack at creating an External list in Sharepoint 2010. I've taken 3 training classes in Sharepoint 2010, and am now trying to transfer my knowledge to my own development environment. I've followed the steps for creating my External Content type in Micorosoft sharepoint designer. I am connecting the External Content Type to a table in an external SQL Server Database. I've created a list specifying this External Content type. I've also given all authenticated users permission. I've verified that BCS is running, and all looks good. I've also checked and double checked the steps I used in creating the external content type and list, by referring to the lab manual from my Sharepoint class.
When I try to navigate to display the list, I get this very informative error message:
Unable to display this Web Part. To troubleshoot the problem, open this Web page in a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation-compatible HTML editor such as Microsoft SharePoint Designer. If the problem persists, contact your Web server administrator.
Correlation ID:b7c91266-bbbc-4703-8704-beccbbd92de0
I've tried opening this page in Sharepoint Designer but this doesn't seem to help me. Has anyone experienced this problem before? Any gotcha's that I should be looking for.
Whenever you see a correlation ID, then you should be able to get more information on the failure in the ULS output. Search for that Correlation ID in the logs and you should get plenty of additional information.
If you don't find much in the ULS logs, then change the settings to log additional information.
you need to check selection of primary key of sql tables while retrieving data to list.
To capture the error being thrown, use the SharePoint LogViewer app from CodePlex: http://sharepointlogviewer.codeplex.com/
You need to run it on your server and hit the Play Button at the
top. This starts the Live Monitoring.
Refresh your page that will give you the error with the Correlation ID.
Stop The LogViewer and filter the results by the Correlation Field.
Copy and paste the ID from your browser into the filter field.
You will now see a list of what errors are being thrown in relation to the Correlation ID.
I hope this helps out!

i tried everything possible to fix this but nothing worked for me ,pls help me to create a table on my database .
AS your question title says, the error is a clear problem with your user autentication. This problem may be due to a very large list of causes, but I will give you what in my humble opinion is a quick troubleshooting that may lead you to solve this problem:
First of all, check the permissions of your user on the specified database. Using SQL Server Management Studio, right click your user, properties, then user mapping. Right there you have to check for the correct database mapping and the desired role.
Check server authentication mode, to see if it is on mixed mode. In many cases, I´ve seen many installations where the authentication is set to windows only, and users keep getting this message having the correct permissions on user and correct mappings.
I am having an issue with MS Access 2010 opening a large SharePoint linked list. It was working fine on a Friday afternoon around 4:30pm, but then, the following Monday morning, I began getting an error when trying to open a large SharePoint linked list. Not all of the linked lists, just the largest one, which has 8036 records (the view threshold is 10000). MS Access appears to open the list,but then the wait cursor appears and then after some time an error message (Cannot connect to the SharePoint site '') displays and all of the displayed data is removed.
I've asked our sys admins if there were any group policy or system updates that were pushed and they were not aware of any (but that doesn't mean there weren't any).
Here is a screencast video of the problem that I am having:

I have had success with SharePoint linked list, disconnecting them from Access and Linking anew. I have had mixed success with refresh link option in MS Access.
Oftentimes I need to troubleshoot a workbook that another person at my company has created and published to our server. To troubleshoot, I need to see their connection details, specifically their Custom SQL, to understand what data they are using in their extract.
Is there any way to view this connection info (specifically their SQL code) when viewing the published workbook on the server (web) version?
I am an admin and I am able to download their workbook to my desktop version of tableau, then open it, then reconnect to the data, then look through the data connections they created, to see their SQL. But it's a really cumbersome process.
All I'm looking to do is, when looking at a published workbook, see the data connection details so that I can see the Custom SQL, without going through the process of downloading I described above.
You can get some details on the SQL statement by creating a performance recording.
From the Tableau Server Admin Guide:
Enable Performance Recordings:
Choose the Admin button in Tableau Server.
Choose Site.
Select a site.
Choose Edit.
In the Edit Site dialog box, select Allow Performance Recording.
Choose OK.
You start performance recording for a specific view by adding ?:record_performance=yes to
the url. For example:
http://server.site.com/views/Variety/BaseballStatistics?:record_performance=yes
Now, notice a new link at the top of your view called "Show Performance Recording".
Click this to open the generated performance workbook dashboard. Click on the bar chart and observe the SQL appear at the bottom of the view. Note, the SQL text will truncate after about 250 characters.
The admin guide suggests viewing the "Tableau Log" to find the full SQL statement.. I have looked at all the server side logs in C:\ProgramData\Tableau\Tableau Server\data\tabsvc\logs but cannot locate the SQL. (please reply if you know where to find this?)
You can also run a database trace to see the SQL that the database sees. For example, for MS SQL Server, run the Profiler tool, setup a default trace, and filter on "Application Name" = "Tableau Protocol Server 8.0" or similar.
I have version 8.1 and this is how I got around this problem. Tableau shows a 'Custom SQL Warning' when you open a workbook that contains the custom SQL. You can copy all the text in this message by simply Ctrl + C as this is any other Windows warning message. And then paste it your editor of choice to analyze it.
I do not know if this works on earlier versions.
I thought you could do this easily, and originally answered that you could, but I didn't pay close attention to your question. You can change some things about data connections without editing the workbook, including the ip address or name of the database server, but there doesn't appear to be a simple way to access custom sql without downloading the workbook.
Go to the Administrator page and select Data Connections.
You can enter some search criteria to filter the list of data connections shown (or not).
Find the workbook in question by scanning the second column -- you can sort the column if that helps.
Then select the corresponding data connection in the 4th column to see the details of the connection.
If it makes sense for the connection, you can also modify the connection directly at the server. This is really useful if you, say, need to move your enterprise database to a new IP address or change a database password, without downloading, modifying and republishing alot of workbooks.
An even better practice is to start using shared data connections hosted on Tableau server instead of having each workbook have its own local copy of connection and related info.
I am new to SSRS and have deployed several reports. When I force windows authentication, everything works fine, but when I do this:
I am getting this error:
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Query execution failed for dataset 'DataSet1'.
(rsErrorExecutingCommand) Login failed for user 'DWH_Reporting_User'.
I've configured the DWH_Reporting_User like this:
here are the details on DWH_Reporting_User for the ReportServer database:
here is the security on the server:
when i try to set security for that specific folder:
i am getting this error msg:
is there something obviously wrong with the way I've configured things?
The answer to this question was a series of comments. I went ahead and put it in the chat as well as an answer.
Go to the security of the server not the database and map the user to that database.
Can you recycle the application pool on the server where reporting services is running? Or reboot the IIS server if possible.
Another thing that comes to mind, when you launch this report it goes into the report server "Portal". Does this user have access to the actual report to view it? Click the details section of this "Portal" and assign this user as a content manager role.
DWH_REPORTING_USER is this an admin account on your domain?
Local admin on the server, so did you grant \COMPUTER_NAME\DWH_Reporting_User rights as a content manager in the roles section? Why dont you use a domain admin account?
So how do you access the actual report - that is your issue.
Do me a favor aprem, write up a stored procedure or sql query in the first tab of reporting services and run it using that user. Meaning in the shared data source it should be using this user DWH_Reporting_user. Test the connection then write a small sql statement to retrieve some data. Run the SQL script from within RS do you see any data?
#Aprem look at the three tabs at the top of rs, its the first tab to define datasets, this is where you can create an SQL query (and run it using the red exclamation mark). – JonH 20 mins ago
i defined a new dataset as "select top 1000 * from mytable", i rebuilt the project, deployed it, and now what do id o? – Артём Царионов 16 mins ago
In the "Shared Datasets" you have a dataset right? Double click on it and go to "Query Designer" it is a button on this form. Click on it and "Execute" the query (red exclamation mark). You dont need to deploy it right now, just do it on a test machine.ago
You specify the user in the datasource section "Shared Data Sources", that account is the account being used to "pull" the data. You really need to experiement with RS some more or read some material on it. This is as basic as it gets.
*Ok aprem do you understand your issue now, the user you are using to get the data has no issues, in addition, it is functioning correctly. Now you have to view the report. To view the report is to view the webpage, and to view a web page means you need to either use "Anon" access or windows authentication. So you need a domain or local WINDOWS account to view the report. This account needs to be setup on the RS portal as a content manager role. *
You are dealing with two beasts, one is the database (db server) and one is IIS (web server) each serve a specific purpose. The database serves to allow you to pull data while the web server hosts the pages.
The reportserver database is very important, it keeps a listing of all your reports and the meta data associated with your reports in the database. It also stores job ids and subscriptions associated with your reports. Basically it is the backend database for all reporting services stuff like reports, datasets, and datasources. Think of it this way when you create a new "Report Project" you are allowed to create reports, datasets, and datasources. Without the reportserver database how would the system remember your datasets, datasources, and report names? It is the heart of rs.
your data set is not used to connect to the reporting services databse, it is used to connect to the database you are getting the data to display on your report.
Does that user exist on the database the report is accessing?
I have to create a web form and store all kinds of data from the page, the data will be text, num, email and checkboxes.
I have to store them in a database SQL. I have to deploy the same page in the sharepoint server and users will be able to use that page to fillin the details once the details are filled in it should be loaded in to the SQL seperate databse.
could anybody tell me what would be the best approach.
Please give me rough idea so that I will take the steps to get it complete.
Do you have to use a SQL database? You could simply use SharePoint lists for this type of functionality.
If you HAVE to use SQL then look at Business Connectivity Services through SharePoint Designer 2010, or if you are using WSS 3.0 or MOSS 2007 then look at creating custom web parts.
