Creating a report from multiple data sources

I am working on a report where it requires pulling data from various sources, databases and data exported into excel sheets from different databases. The objective of the report is to create a single report with all the Providers (HPs) that have been terminated. So what I have done is that I have exported all the data on a local server in the pubs database and I am using a TSQL query to return the report. The same providers may exists in the various data sources so I have to make sure that I am only returning the data once...how ever the challenge is that, other than FirstName and LastName, there are no consistent IDs that we can use in all. For example, not all of the records have the SSN, PhoneNumber, or other IDs that uniquly identify the record. I have to create a report that returns the result set and identifiys the matching records and the source system the data is from..for example the output should display as such: Termed System firstname lastname SSN homephone phonenumber Active System AMIE Jeannine Donigan NULL 3522631007 Nurse SL Linde Peggy Vanrensselaer NULL 6077321218 Sbdev Below is the approach I I have taken to return the data and I wanted to know if there is a more efficient and better way of doing this: DECLARE @matchingTerminated Table ( FirstName Varchar(255), LastName Varchar(255), Gender Varchar(255), SSNEncrypted varchar(255), Birt

SharePoint Designer 2010 External Content Types Data Source Already Exists in Business Data Connecti

I used the Secure Store to create connection in SharePoint 2010 Designer External Content Types Data Source Explorer. Later I changed some column names in the table. I deleted the connection from Data Source Explorer and recreated it. I right clicked on the table and selected Create All Operations. When I clicked the Finish button, I got "The system definition with the same name as this data source already exists in the Business Data Connectivity Metadata Store and it refers to a different data source. Cannot complete operation generation. Add a connection to this data source with a different name and try again."

I re-created the Secure Store using a different name in SharePoint 2010 Central Administration. I didn't find the option to choose the connection name in SharePoint 2010 Designer. After I clicked Add Connection, I entered the Database Server and the Database Name, selected Connect with Impersonated Window Identity, entered Secure Store name, and clicked OK. The connection created with the database name as before.

Anyone have any ideas?

Remote Debugging error while creating business data connectivity model

Hi Everyone,

I have a scenario where I have to get the data from two of the stored proc's in the SQL Server and create an assocation between those models.I cannot use Sharepoint designer as there is no relationship existing between those two entities.So,I have used visual studio business data connectivity model to fulfill this requirement.I created the model with filter descriptors,input parameters and all and related those as suggested by MSDN and used LINQ to SQL to pull the actual stored procedure into the readlist and readitem methods.My issue here is,when I debug this project,I am receiving an error message tht says "remote procedure cannot be debugged.this usually indicates debugging hasn't been enabled".Then I changed the debug entry in the web.config to true to solve this issue.But,still I received the same error...what do you think might be stopping me from going ahead..ur suggestions and tips helps me a lot..

Thanks all..

External List Error - Access denied by Business Data Connectivity

Hello Community,

Background: In SPS 2010 I created an External Content Type that is displaying the Customers table from a Customers database in SQL Server 2008. (I also added myself as the DBO for that database.) I configured the ECT to authenticate with the User's Identity and to also use the Secondary Secure Store Application ID "contoso\administrators". I then added both these accounts to the Business Data Connectivity Service and granted them all four permission sets. I configured the ECT Operations to perform all operations, and I filtered the return by limiting it to a 100 items. Using the Create List and Form wizard I then created an External List from the ECT.

Problem: When I display the External List in the browser I get this error - Access denied by Business Data Connectivity.

I have read several blogs about this issue (which seems to be common) but I still can't resolve it. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

How to automatically resolve external business data in a MOSS 2007 document list

Here's what I have so far...

1. I have a document list in MOSS 2007.

2. Each document in the list may be sent to an external system for further processing. This was done by adding a custom feature to the document libraries actions menu in SharePoint.

3. The external system uses it's own SQL Server database. A table in this database references the SharePoint document’s GUID. Additional columns in the table are updated during external processing data such as status.

The problem I'm trying to solve is this:

1. I would like the see the external processing status for a document in the original SharePoint document list. This status will change and needs to be updated for each document automatically.

I tried setting up a business data column in the document list. I created the XML definition of the external SQL Server table using the MOSS 2007 SDK and imported the definition. I added the business data column to the list
