I am using VS 2008(Professional edition) with SP1.I am new to ADO.NET DataServices.I am watching Mike Taulty videos.
He used [DataWebKey] attribute to specifty the key field and he referred the namespace
Microsoft.Data.Web. To follow that example I am trying to refer the same assembly,but it is not found in my system.
How to fix it?
Looks like you're not the first person to come across this.

Apparently you should use DataServiceKey which is in System.Data.Services.Common.
I see that Mike's videos mostly date from mid 2008. ADO.NET Data Services has changed since then, that may be why you're unable to find the right reference.
It think you're better off trying to find some more recent material, preferably from the last 6 months.

I am creating a data dictionary and I am supposed to track the location of any used field in a workbook. For example (superstore sample data), I need to specify which sheets/dashboards have the [sub-category] field.
My dataset has hundreds of measures/dimensions/calc fields, so it's incredibly time exhaustive to click into every single sheet/dashboard just to see if a field exists in there, so is there a quicker way to do this?
One robust, but not free, approach is to use Tableau's Data Catalog which is part of the Tableau Server Data Management Add-On
Another option is to build your own cross reference - You could start with Chris Gerrard's ruby libraries described in the article http://tableaufriction.blogspot.com/2018/09/documenting-dashboards-and-their.html
This is my first post on Stack. I've been reading for a while and learned a lot. Thanks to all those who share on this site.
My office runs still runs MS Access 2007 and I was tasked with creating a database even though I had no experience doing so. I read "The Missing Manual for Access 2007", another book that I can't remember the name of, multiple posts on this site and Microsoft's and can't find the solution to what I need to do.
Issue: I want to have two fields on a form referring to the same table, each with look ups but want the second field's options to be dependent on the first. For example, I want the first field for "Region" to list options to select 1 2 3 or 4. If someone chooses 1, I want the second field only listed offices that are in Region 1. This doesn't seem like it should wildly complicated but I cannot figure out how to do it.
I have tried using the expression builder to create nested IIf functions, filtering queries, macros and a few other things but don't have the depth of knowledge to make any of them accomplish what I'm looking to do.
Is there a way to accomplish this easily without VBA? Or if VBA is the only way, can someone point me to a good code that I hopefully figure out and edit for this purpose?
Thank you for any help and advice. Please let me know if I left out any useful information

First Post! am kinda feeling the pressure :)
I've created a multiple option filter for my dashboard using a set (with include all members). which is great for my sheets which use that datasource as primary, but when it's the secondary source I've hit a brick wall - I cannot see (or find any reference in searches) how to use the filter. Any calculated dimensions I've seen reference In/Out. Is there a way round this or something I'm missing?
thanks.
You can't do it when it's based on the secondary source in a data-blending scenario. Currently Tableau only allows for it to be applied to the primary. We are hoping this changes in version 10.0.
I am trying to move sugarCRM data (Leads, Opportunities and Applicants, these are modules in sugarCRM) - I have the .csv files. No SQL.its hosted by this company and they won't give me the sql.
the issue is that leads for example has 212 columns(fields)
the regular sugarCRM has far less fields.
I am trying to figure out what is the best way to import all the data without having to use the Studio to create each field individually.
Opportunities module has 110 fields also on the hosted version - and the regular sugarCRM only has about 27.
so my question is how do I create all the fields so I can import them
I already created a file that gets the column names, and I did import all the data into a table called Leads1. when I rename it to leads and check ... the data doesnt show on the page.
any ideas? (please dont answer and say : ask the company to send you the sql, because they will not send it they know I want to move out of their hosted environment I already spent an hour on the phone and they wouldn't)
any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated thank you
With or without the SQL you'll need to recreate the fields in Studio as you need the views to also include the fields. It's tedious, but the only real viable option in this case. It is important that the fields are named exactly the same when doing this so that the import works correctly.
If you can hack some code, another option is to create a module that will export the SQL for the whole database for you from within SugarCRM and also the whole file structure as a zip so that you don't have to recreate anything.
BTW - make sure that the SugarCRM instance you are moving to is the exact same version. Once you do the import then you can upgrade to your desired version. This guarantees that the DB structure will be the same then (given that the custom fields get created appropriately).
Good luck!
I'm fairly new to using the Birt Report Designer and need to figure out how to generate a report from a SQLite database. I have suceeded in getting it to connect to the DB but am now unsure how to generate a report and the tutorials that I have found aren't of much help so far.
I have a template that was given to me by my employer that has a few fields, I'm wondering if these fieldnames (in the template) are supposed to match field names in the DB.
Also, when I go to Run->View Report-> As PDF I am unsure what I am supposed to enter for the field "User Key", does this correspond to a table name in the DB or something along these lines?
As of now, I have tried entering a table name but just a blank report is generated.
If anyone can point me to a good resource or help with this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
There are two books i could really advice:
BIRT - A Field Guide to Reporting
Integrating and Extending BIRT
and the Eclipse Help containing BIRT documentation.
I suppose the User Key could be report parameter (listed in Data Explorer window), which is passed to Data Set to select appropriate data. If I'm guessing right, check within a Data Set editor ("Parameters" tab and "Query" tab) where the User Key parameter goes in - probably to one of the table field in a WHERE clause. Parameters in a query are represented by question marks: SELECT * FROM fooTable WHERE barColumn = ?. Hope tracking this would lead to find out, what to enter to the parameter.
Additionally, ensure if your Data Set(s) is(are) connected correctly to your SQLite Data Source ("Data Source" tab in a Data Set editor).
Being as new as you are to BIRT, I would suggest building a couple of reports with the sample DB (Classic Models). There are many, many samples out there for you to use as a guide. Additionally, most tutorials will use the Classic Models data so you can follow right along. After you create a couple of practice reports (this should not take more than 30-45 minutes) the template you have been given will likely make A LOT more sense and allow you to make progress almost immediately.
If you are looking for a nice collection of tutorials and samples, be sure to check out Birt Exchange for Dev Share (samples) & tutorials.
As for the "User Key" this is almost certainly a report-level parameter used to filter the data set (as the previous answer points out).
Good Luck!
