IBM Planning analytics Engine ODBC connection error

  • 1.  IBM Planning analytics Engine ODBC connection error

    Posted Thu September 26, 2024 11:49 AM

    Hi All for some context we are trying to connect to a SQL server using ODBC connection in Planning analytics engine (v12).

    We have installed and started the IBM Planning Analytics ODBC Data Connector.
    We have configured the AdventureWorks2019 SQL database with the correct login credentials in the Datasources part of the config.odbcis.json file.
    We are not sure if the Client part will be the login to the PAW environment or would it be the same credentials used to login to the SQL database.

    When running the following request (IP and Port changed): IP:Port/api/v1/Datasources

    We get an error:
    {
        "error": {
            "code": "278",
            "message": "'Datasources' resource can not be resolved on type 'EntityContainer'."
        }
    }

    Are there any other config steps to make the cloud be able to see this such as exposing the port in the firewall config?

    Hi Werner,

    I have already make test whith ODBCIS...

    Perhaps have a look at https://www.next-decision.fr/wiki/configurer-et-utiliser-des-sources-odbc-pour-planning-analytics-aws

    Hi Philippe , I see that your IP/DNS that is blurred out is different than localhost, are there any additional steps to configure the server to that specific IP/DNS?

    How would you test if it is working on local server?

    Hi Werner,
    the test I ran was with tm1 hosted on AWS. 
    My blurred address is the external address of my "local" database server.
     
    So I have :
     PA on AWS attacking via https, my server hosting the odbcis client.
     
    in the https://LocalServer:port/api/v1/ configuration, LocalServer must be the "external" address used to access my local server.
    If you want to try this out with "local" servers, https://machine:port/api/v1/ should designate your local computer on which you run odbcisclient.
    but If you have Local PA which attack Local Rdbms, you coul'd use classic odbc datasource.
    Regards,
    Philippe

    Hi Werner,

    Is your computer paengine.rcmnow.com is accessible with these coordinates from the world wilde (from the world aws)?

    You use pstman  in your Local IT environment ?

    Regards,

    Philippe

    Have you opened the IP Address range for AWS from the ODBCIS install location?

    Werner,
    when in doubt, I just tried a Test-NetConnection paengine.rcnow.com - port 5555 in powershell.
     
    It work fine. 
     
    the truth lies elsewhere.
     
    I can only suggest that you submit a ticket to support, explaining all the settings you've made, including the fact that your paengine.rcnow.com can be accessed from anywhere.
    Regards,
    Philippe

    Can you try putting square brackets around the table name, it is possible the query is getting confused with the dot

    select name from [Person.CountryRegion]

    The site is not secure (check in a browser the icon before https://paengine.rcmnow.com:5555/), please make sure it has a certificate signed by a publicly trusted certificate authority. Although PAW can connected to an unsecured ODBCIS to fetch the datasources, TM1 needs a secure connection for security reason.
