Using smart view in OBIEE 12C - oracle

I was going to use smart view (which is downloaded, installed and added as a tab to Microsoft's products ex. Execl) and connect it to OBIEE 12.2.1.4. So I have downloaded 11.1.2.5 version.
According to my searching on the internet, I have found that in order to create a private connection, it should be done be selecting 'Oracle BI EE' connection provider, whilst I have not this option now. As a result, I fail to connect to OBIEE. I mean like below image:
As an additional INFO, I have found this URL, http://epmstream.blogspot.com/2013/06/how-to-set-up-obiee-access-through.html , which had a same problem and solved. But in my case, I couldn't unfortunately download 11.1.2.2.310 version
Could anyone help me with this issue?

You're not providing much info, but with any fresh installation of SmartView you just click SmartView -> Panel -> Private Connection and then at the very bottom "Create new connection".
There probably was something messed up on the Windows/Excel side during install (it's Windows after all...) or you had some Office product running whle installing SmartView.
You have to close all Office products completely, then find JBIPSProviderInstaller.svext on your file system (Normally C:\Oracle\SmartView). Right-click it -> Open With -> Oracle Smart View for Office.
You should get a message saying it's installed.

Can't access Mac server from Xcode

I wanted to create a remote repository in my Mac server. I have installed the app, configured and started the Xcode service as per the Apple docs. But when I try to add the server to my accounts in Xcode, the server name is there, but on adding, it is giving the following error.
Unable to perform the request. CFNetwork error: The network connection
was lost. (-1005 - kCFURLErrorNetworkConnectionLost)
The server is hosted on the same Mac in which I am developing.
I've run into the same issue (my server is on the LAN but it had previously been working).
I'm assuming you've got a Git repository created locally and you want to push it to the server. I'm using Xcode 8.2
The only 'solution' I've found so far is to manually create the remote from the Mac Server app (you could also do it on the command line if you want). The steps I used:
Go to the Xcode section of the Server app, select 'Repositories' on that screen, then the + button to add a repository with the name you specified.
After doing that; go back to Xcode proper and with your project selected Open the 'Source Control' menu, select your repository then click 'Configure '
In the resulting dialog, select the 'Remotes' tab
Click the '+' button and select 'Add remote...'
Another dialog comes up. For 'Name' use the same name as you did in the Server. Address should be whatever Server->Xcode reports for the repository you created (something like ssh://hostname/git/MyRepositry.git).
Click 'Add Remote'
Click 'Done'
You should now be able to push/pull between your local and remote repository.
Not the best solution, but as I say, it's the only one I've found so far. Quite a few people seem to be asking this, but none of them seem to have found better answers either. To find some of the other people reporting the problem, I used the following search term in google:
git unable to perform the request cfnetwork error the network connection was lost xcode
Just do the following steps :
1.Remove your Server from Xcode
2.Quit Xcode
3.Restart/Shutdown machine (If I don't restart/shutdown machine, unable to add server again in my case)
4.Open Xcode
5.Add Server again
This Solution works for me, but its not proper solution. It's headache to repeat the above steps every time while facing same issue, I research more on this but did not get any proper satisfactory solution.

Unable to upgrade XAMPP

I've spent the last 3 years attempting to get a website partner for an International trading website, but now I have given up on that idea and decided to learn development alone, although still open to a partnership, however at first I installed XAMPP version 1.7.7 and added a CodeIgniter based registration script, but now get this message - Unable to connect to your database server using the provided settings. Filename: C:\xampp\htdocs\system\database\DB_driver.php Line Number: 124
With that problem, together with the CodeIgniter changes and the XAMPP new version 5.6.8 I've decided to upgrade both. However I want to keep the old versions to enable retrieving data that has been entered into the old versions. I prefer to keep the old versions separate so that I know what portions are old and new.
I have attempted to change the name of the old version of XAMPP but I'm unable to do that and get this response - "The action can't be completed because the folder or a file is open in another program." I guess the referred folders are "Apache" and "MySQL". I've gone into XAMPP Control Panel and note "Apache" and "MySQL" are "Running" and if I click "Stop" I get ERROR messages and they don't stop. I've done some research and found that I need to be logged in as "Administrator". I've gone into Win7 Control Panel - User Accounts - and found that I'm listed as "Administrator" password protected. I've tried rebooting but that does not help. I now need guidance but open to suggestions on alternative methods to upgrade that has the same effects as in the previous paragraph.
Being an administrator under XAMPP and an administrator under Win7 are two different things.
Right click the control panel exe file in XAMPP folder and click "Run as administrator" and then Exit the control panel.
If the XAMPP control panel is running the above can't be done and I found I had to reboot to start the control panel fresh, then carry out the above.
Once all of that was done, I renamed the XAMPP folder.

Error starting the service. The OracleMTSRecoveryService was not found

I am getting this error while installing oracle 11g enterprise edition on windows 7 professional 64 bit. I checked the registry as some people have mention but the correct thing is already there. If try starting the service from Services.msc it says the service wss not found also
I ran into this same issue and this solved it:
When you get the error pop-up, leave it opened, open regedit and modify the ImagePath in the following key to point to the proper location:
computer\hkey_local_machine\system\controlset001\service\OracleMTSRecoveryService
The proper location may be something like this:
C:\app\myaccount\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\bin\omtsreco.exe
All credit to:
http://yuanmengblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/oracle-standard-db-install-issue-with.html
The oracle download was split into two parts.
If you tried to install with only one part it will show many bugs and after installation oracle won't work.
Download two parts of oracle from the official site and extract in same place. The files will merge automatically into the same folder.
Now install the oracle. If you already installed the oracle once. It should taken some path like below.
In my system it took "E:\app\INDP\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1..."
If you are installing second time installation will take path, "E:\app\INDP\product\11.2.0\dbhome_2..."
Now the above erorr will come because of registry.
So, now yo need to edit the registry value like below.
ctrl+R will bring the run window. Type regedit and press ok
Then Under Computer, select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM ->ControlSet001-> Services -> OracleMTSRecoveryService.
Double click on ImagePath. It will prompt a window with old path or with wrong path under value data.
Now, you need to edit it with your curent path like below.
E:\app\INDP\product\11.2.0\dbhome_2\bin\omtsreco.exe OracleMTSRecoveryService
Now press "retry" button of the window, which shown that error. Now, it will work like charm.

Cant add solution to RocketSvn Repositories

I have been trying to set up RocketSVN server on win server 2008 R2 and the plug in client for Visual studio's 2010 but have been have a lot of trouble so will list what i have had issues with and what i did to get them working and where i am up to.
First I was having trouble connecting to the server through a browser which came down to the fact that i hadn't installed the Basic and windows Authentication on the server IIS features Doh! (fresh install :)) although it still didn't work until i went through the windows updates, After these steps i could connect to the Admin portal through a browser add add repositories and users yay!
Then i moved on to the Visual Studio's plugin and was having trouble being authenticated while trying to add or open a project from svn so back to Google and found a solution here http://community.axosoft.com/forums/thread/22088.aspx but was not using windows authentication which i wanted and was now getting another issue, I found that changing the binding in the IIS to HTTPS and setting a certificate let me use windows authentication and got me to the same position but now I'm stuck again....
tried to add images but wont let me Grrrr.... Edit : I can add images now :)
every time i try to add a solution i don't get a folder to save it to and the "Create Folder" button is greyed out all i get is the
Subversion Repositories
https://<server name>:8080
so am missing the svn/testrep/(testrep being my repository) folder to select and add my solution to..
I am using the repository URL found on the admin portal..
The error i get if i try and open a solution (even though i don't have any solutions in the repository i thought i might be able to browse it?) is
"server sent unexpected return value (405 not allowed) in response to propfind"
i hope some body can help me with this as I'm losing the will to live with this one :( i thinking its still a server set up issue but cant find any more info let my no if any 1 wants to see any server logs / config's / settings.
Cheers in advance

How can I upgrade my Sql Server CE 3.5 sdf database to Sql Server CE 4.0?

I need to update my SqlCE3.5 database to 4.0.
I get the following error message when I'm trying to access my 3.5 sdf/database using the new CE4.0 connection provide :-
System.Data.EntityException: The underlying provider failed on Open. ---> System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeInvalidDatabaseFormatException: The database file has been created by an earlier version of SQL Server Compact. Please upgrade using SqlCeEngine.Upgrade() method.
Anyone know how I can do this? Obviously I need to do it programatcially but i'm not sure what I should do / what references I need to add, etc.
Cheers!
Call System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeEngine.Upgrade. See MSDN, which contains sample code.
You needn't upgrade when you see this error:
The database file has been created by an earlier version of SQL Server Compact. Please upgrade using SqlCeEngine.Upgrade() method.
Simply:
Right-click your Project in Solution Explorer
Choose properties, go to References tab
You'll see a reference called: System. Data.SqlServerCe Type/net version/4.0 - delete this item (select item and then click remove in the bottom of this window).
Click on the "add..." button left of the "remove" button
In the .NET tab, find System.Data.SqlServerCe 3.5 and add this.
Compile your project!
I think this will work.
