Unknown Members In Report Parameter Causes CONSTRAINED Flag Error In STRTOSET Function When NullProcessing Unknown Member
May 1, 2007
Hi,
I'm using MS Report Designer 2005 and have created a report that uses a cube, with a dimension set up to convert null values to unknown (nullProcessing = UnknownMember).
When I create a parameter using the checkbox in the graphical design mode's filter pane, Report Designer automatically sets the constrained flag, eg:
When running the report and selecting the 'Unkown' value from the parameter list, the error 'the restrictions imposed by the CONSTRAINED flag in the STRTOSET function were violated' occurrs.
How can I prevent the constrained flag from being used, or am I doing something wrong with converting null values to 'Unknown'?
I get this error when, i try to set a parameter for user input, it doesnt matter what i type in, it says this:
<<Query (1,408) The Restrictions imposed by the constrained flag in the STRTOSET function were violated>>
what exactly does this mean? and how do i fix it?
My parameter is for dates, but i have the datetype set to "String", when i change it to" DATETIME" , i get the same error when i select from the calendar. So far the only date option that is working right now. Is a long drop down list, that could go for days at a time. I just want users to be able to input dates, such as "Jan 9, 2000" or 10/10/1999. What can i do about this?
I am having a really hard time trying to get around the auto generated MDX when I use a date as a parameter. It is forcing the values to be string and this is not allowing me to use the date picker on the reports. Can anyone help me figure this one out? Is there any way to use the date picker when using a cube dataset?
Hi all,I have the below user-defined function on mssql 2000 and I can't workout why i'm getting the following error:-----Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, ProcedurefnCalculateOutworkerPaymentForBox, Line 15Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'IF'.Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, ProcedurefnCalculateOutworkerPaymentForBox, Line 23Line 23: Incorrect syntax near ')'.----------CREATE FUNCTION fnCalculateOutworkerPaymentForBox(@boxid int)RETURNS moneyASBEGINRETURN (/* if the box is a paperback */IF (SELECT COUNT(BoxID) AS NoOfBoxes FROM OutworkerBoxes WHERE BoxID= @boxid AND BoxCode LIKE '%PAPER%') > 1/* If the books are paperback, charge 15p each and add on 30p for adescription book to make 45p */SELECT ((endref - StartRef) * 0.15) + (NoOfDescriptionBooks * 0.30)FROM OutworkerBoxes WHERE BoxID = @boxidELSE/* If the books are normal, charge 25p each and add 20p on fordescription books to make 45p */SELECT ((endref - StartRef) * 0.25) + (NoOfDescriptionBooks * 0.20)FROM OutworkerBoxes WHERE BoxID = @boxid)END-----Below is the sql for the table it works with:-----CREATE TABLE [OutworkerBoxes] ([BoxID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,[OutworkerID] [int] NOT NULL ,[ImportedBy] [int] NULL ,[StartRef] [int] NOT NULL ,[endref] [int] NOT NULL ,[DateIssued] [datetime] NOT NULL ,[BoxCode] [nvarchar] (50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ,[DealerID] [int] NULL ,[StatusID] [int] NOT NULL ,[IssuedBy] [int] NOT NULL ,[BoxNotes] [nvarchar] (200) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL ,[DateImported] [datetime] NULL ,[NoOfDescriptionBooks] [int] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT[DF_OutworkerBoxes_NoOfDescriptionBooks] DEFAULT (0),CONSTRAINT [PK_OutworkerBoxes] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED([BoxID]) WITH FILLFACTOR = 90 ON [PRIMARY]) ON [PRIMARY]GO-----If anyone can advise me i'd be most grateful.Thanx in advanceJames
Looking up surrogate keys in a dimension table and adding these to your data flow is easy when there is a match in your dimension table for every key in your fact table. However, I am puzzled by how to manage the data flow when no match can be found for a specific key in the fact table when doing the lookup AND I then want to insert this unknown key as an unknown/inferred member in the dimension table. The problem is further complicated by the fact that when I have inserted the unknown member in the dimension table and it has been assigned a surrogate key there, I want to add this surrogate key to my fact table - just as if there had been a match in the lookup in the first place.
This is what I want to do:1. Delete all tables in database with table names that ends with anumber.2. Leave all other tables in tact.3. Table names are unknown.4. Numbers attached to table names are unknown.5. Unknown number of tables in database.For example:(Tables in database)AccountAccount1Account2BinderBinder1Binder2Binder3.......I want to delete all the tables in the database with the exceptionof Account and Binder.I know that there are no wildcards in the "Drop Table tablename"syntax. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to write this sqlstatement?Note: I am executing this statement in MS Access with the"DoCmd.RunSQL sql_statement" command.Thanks for any help!
Uknown Member is set to "Uknown" in the cube . This cannot be changed because it needs to be visible in other applications. However, in my particular MDX I want to create a custom set that excludes this member.
WITHSET setNoUnknowns as EXCLUDE( [Dim].[Hierarchy].CHILDREN, { [Dim].[Hierarchy].UNKNOWNMEMBER } )SELECT{[Measure].[MeasureName]} on COLUMNS,setNoUnknowns on ROWSFROM [Cube]
With the above MDX, I still get a return for member "Unknown". I've confirmed that there isn't an explicit member name of "Unknown".Excluding [Dim].[Hierarchy].[Unknown] does not work either.
I currently have a question about unknown member in cubes (as we know, there is always an additional member called unknown in an OLAP dimension)for data mining. I mean is there any way for us to deal with unknown member in cubes when mining cubes?
Thanks a lot in advance for any guidance and help.

I recently tried Re-Installing SQL Server 2005 and setup fails with the following error message. I found a forum that instructed me to make sure that the Distributed Transaction Corrdinator Service is started and that the NT AUTHORITYNetworkService is set under the Log on as tab. I verified both of those settings in my services snap-in under the management console. Looks like setup is failing during this section: Integration Services - Configuring Components...

I was testing SQL Mail and I kept getting Unknown Recipient error regardless of what type of user names I tried to put in, I'd appreciate it if any of you could help.
Server: NT 4.0 Server (SP4) SQL Server: 6.5 (SP4) Mail Client: Exchange (5.0)
Since my company doesn't have a designated mailbox for SQL Server, I set it up to use my personal mailbox and profile. I was able to get SQL Mail up and running but couldn't not figure out a correct user name to pass to xp_sendmail.
The usual format of our e-mail addresses is <last name><first name>@xxx.com so I tried '<last name><first name>', '<last name>, <first name>' (the same format shown in the Address Book)...etc. but none of those worked.

I am trying to enable FILESTREAM on a SQL 2012 installation that is supporting a Sharepoint 2013 implementation. When I try to enable FILESTREAM using the SQL Server Configuration Manager I receive the following error:
There was an unknown error applying the FILESTREAM settings. Check the parameters are valid. (0x80041008)
I have done this succussfully in the past in SQL2008R2/Sharepoin2010 environment but this is my first attempt with SQL2012/Sharepoint2013 and I am not sure how to proceed with troubleshooting.
I have a SQL2008 database, running Standard Edition 64-bit, database owns by sa, connected to Management Studio using Windows Authentication mode. When I tried to generate scripts from a database, I got the following error messages:-
[Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object. (SqlManagerUI)]
which happened at one particular table. I have reviewed this table definitions are normal, and I could select data from it.
I couldn't find any information anywhere relating to this error messages, except that someone got it when they were trying to change the authentication mode or sa password.
ISSUE: ==================== In SQL 2005 (sp2) I get the following error when preforming a bulk insert with an associated xml format file: "Could not bulk insert. Unknown version of format file"
Question: ==================== I am unsure what they mean by "unknown version". Specifically the format file in question was created using bcp. Also the entire table scenario was created from a msdn example.
Any ideas? have you seen this before?
NOTE: i can reproduce this issue outside the example but will refer to msdn considering it is simple and easily reproducible.
Scenario ==================== I can reproduce this error with the BULK INSERT example discussed on msdn (example A) http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191234.aspx
TO REPRODUCE:
* In short the table structure is: Person (Age int, FirstName varchar(20), LastName varchar(30))
* Data File Template: Age<tab>Firstname<tab>Lastname<return>
* Here is some the actual sql statement that pulls this all together BULK INSERT mytestnames FROM 'C:datatestexampledata-c.Dat' WITH (FORMATFILE = 'C:datatestexamplefmt.Fmt');

Hello, I need to perform an update to one of my columns in my gridView. Is it possible to pass in the "column name" during runtime as a parameter to a stored procedure. I tried doing that but it doesn't seem to work? I might be doing something wrong of course. Can anyone give me some advice on how to do this?

The Microsoft SQL Server icon is showing on my task bar but with a white (blank) circle "stamped" over the bottom right of the icon.
To me it seems that the implication is that somehow the server is not being recognized as (local)etSDK.
Resting the mouse arrow on the Server icon displays: unknown - \ - MSSQLServer
Needless to say something is quite wrong and I cannot open nor create ANY DATA while on WebMatrix.
If I right-click on the server icon and select "Start" I get the following error: "Invalid handle" which apparently is error number 6.
Previously, after many try-outs I managed to at least put the server icon on the task bar by making use of a setup.ini file that reads as shown below (and then typing from the MSDE sub directory while in MSDOS "setup.exe").
I have installed sql 7.0 with sp1. when I check the files I saw to more file extra i.e. distmdl.mdf and distmdl.ldf along with system and pubs and northwind database files.
Can any one tell me what are these(distmdl.mdf and distmdl.ldf ) files. Thank you!!!!!
I'm running into a situation that has me adding a value of "Unknown" toa reference table. I am being pulled between two trains of thought, andwas curious to get other's input on in. I give an example below.1-) Adding "Unknown" to a reference table is bad. Doing so effectivelychanges the Nullability option of every FK that references the table toa NULLable FK relation.2-) Simply adding a "Not Known/Undetermined" value to the referencetable greatly simplifies things. No schema changes are required, andprograms that use the reference table to populate their drop-downs willautomatically see the new value.Perhaps both approaches are good, but it would all depend of thecontext, the criticality of other FKs that reference the table, how/whenthe data is being used?==============================================EXAMPLE==============================================Assume two tables.

When I try to run my package from SQL Server Agent I get the following errormessage:
Message Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE. The return value was unknown. The process exit code was -532459699. The step failed.
It has nothing to do with security in any way: The package actually succeeds!! (no onErrorEvent is thrown, no Error or whatsoever is logged). The only logging I get is this:
#Fields: event,computer,operator,source,sourceid,executionid,starttime,endtime,datacode,databytes,message PackageStart,KMAUSQL01SRV,NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE,Test,{3790FAE9-8300-4374-B2B7-6A630A508ED9},{E15D1815-1123-42D5-9D32-75B0237660A3},23.08.2006 17:18:02,23.08.2006 17:18:02,0,0x,Beginning of package execution.

PackageStart -> PackageEnd .... And in Fact the package DOES exactly do what it should! Just that it throws this error anyway!
What can I do to even trace down where the error occurs?? Not to mention fix it?
how do i hide an attributes member value in all the reports where my cube is exposed as data source. Example : Lets say i have dimension called Product. Product
Name column Key column Product A 0 Product B 1 Product C 2
Now i need to create mdx query which will fetch member values except 0 key column value so that member values except 0 Key would be loaded in the parameter list. What is the best query so that i will run in to any performance issues. Is there any cube level setting i can do so that i will be doing one time job ?
Can i use Key() function to compare something like Key([Product].[Product Name]) >0 in the mdx query ot would Except() function would help?
Hello All!!! I have a 1.1 asp.net applications that has been in production for a little over a year. It is remoted from a webserver --> application server --> that access data server. I am using win2003 servers and sql 2000. Recently, the application has been having an issue retrieving and storing documents to the sql server. When diagnosing the problem I have ran communication testing to make sure the servers are communicating as they should, I have ran the stored procedure to test for retrieval times and/or failure. So far everything has checked out. While researching the issue, I ran across information that suggested changing from the SQLClient provider to the OLEDB provider. All the changes I have tried appear to have no affect. I will mention that this does seem to occur only when retrieving larger files(probably a communication issue which I have my communications staff looking into). Has anyone experienced this issue and maybe know of any possible solutions? Thanks in advance
