Datazen - Live data won't display - sql-server

To the best of my knowledge, I'm correctly importing my MS-SQL data source in the Control Panel (It says successful in green). I'm also pretty sure I'm importing the data correctly into the Windows 7 Publisher app since I can view the data in the DataView:
but when I go to the Layout View or Run Preview, I just get a blank chart:
It works if I use the default SimulatedTable but once I change the data source to my MS-SQL table, I can't get anything to display, no matter what display element I'm trying to use.
I've tried re-importing the data, using a different MS-SQL table, and re-naming the columns to match the SimulatedTable but it doesn't change the result. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Please try one thing, I am just guessing it might work.
Please select one of the Time Preset buttons and see if you see data in that(where there is blank) chart object.
If yes, then while setting up the time navigator object, select an option in drop down box labeled "Default Time Range Preset"
There are some hacks, please do let me know if run into some weirdness. It might not make sense if i try to explain unless you run into that situation.
Cheers,

I ended up giving up on the Windows 7 version of the application and running a virtual instance of Windows 8.1 instead so I could install the Datazen Publisher app for Windows 8.1. It's FAR less buggy.
Not perfect, though.

pgAdmin 4 v3.3 Download as CSV button not working

My Download to CSV (F8) button is not working. I have a view open and want to export to CSV. It was working, and then I changed nothing and it was not working. I just installed the new version (pgAdmin 4 v3.3) to see if that would fix it. Still it does not work. The Tools>Import/Export... is grayed-put, also.
It does seem like I see a milli-sec refresh to the screen, like something is happening. But I get nothing. It's not in my downloads. Is this a browser thing? I'm using Chrome 69.0.3497.100.
I have looked for answers, not finding anything.
I would so very much appreciate an answer!! I am frustrated!
pgAdmin 4 v3.3 with Postgres 9.5, windows
You have to be in "View/Edit data" mode, so that you can see the rows you want to export as csv. Only then can you access the down arrow (Download as csv)
I had a similar problem, and maybe this is how it is supposed to work, but I had multiple queries in the SQL window which I was highlighting to run. Trying to download as CSV just resulted in the flash of a dialog as you say. Investigating the network Tab I noticed that the request to the server was failing.
You need to highlight the query you want to extract as CSV, otherwise it seems to run the whole window. It is not, as you would expect just processing the result window.
This was version 4.23 running inside Docker.

SSRS Deployed reports have disabled parameters in IE, and those without parameters just return a blank screen

I have a set of SSRS reports developed in Visual Studio Data Tools that are used for several clients.
For one particular site, each report will work perfectly in 'Preview' mode in Visual Studio, however when I deploy them and attempt to run them in IE all of the parameters are disabled/greyed out. I also tried to put in a set of default parameters to see what would happen and when I click 'Run Report' I do not even get the 'Loading' image and the report is just blank.
I have checked the IE security settings and have reset them, and also added the report web page location in to trusted sites which unfortunately hasn't made a difference. One thing I have also noticed is that when I try to view Developer Tools in IE, it also just shows a blank white screen.
I've searched online and found a couple of old posts on various websites with a similar issue but none that were ever resolved, and now I am not sure how to proceed.
More info that might be useful:
The client are using IE 11, it is a terminal server style setup with around 8 or 9 users logged on.
The report I am testing with has 2 date parameters first, and two multi-valued parameters (I have tried other reports but with the same issue)
The client recently moved servers and the reports worked fine before, although it was a fresh install of the report so I don't believe there would be any old settings that could be causing it?
Any help greatly appreciated :)
In SSRS, report parameters can be inactive when the report is generated from a snapshot. Removing this option is as follows:
Navigate to the report in SSRS
"Manage" the report from the drop down.
Select "Processing Options" from the left menu
Is "Render this report from a report snapshot" selected? If so, switch
to "Always run this report with the most recent data" option.
Run the report to determine if parameters are now active.
If this fixes your issue, you may need to switch from the snapshot option to the Scheduled Cache option available under the left menu link "Cache Refresh Options"
For one particular site, each report will work perfectly in 'Preview' mode in Visual Studio, however when I deploy them and attempt to run them in IE all of the parameters are disabled/greyed out.
If that is the case, and a previous version of the report was already on the SSRS report server, what you can do is delete the report, and upload it again. There is some kind of cache for the parameters, that causes that if you modify the order of them, some get disabled, and the only way I have found to get rid of it is to delete the old report from the server.
For me this worked:
Open IE
Go to Settings->Compatibility View Settings
Add the URL of your report server.
You could be experiencing an old bug which was reported a long time ago in a connect item:
SSRS Weird Parameters Order Bug (parameter grayed out)
The official Microsoft answer on this subject is:
Currently this behavior is per design. However we will consider this
behavior improvement in a future release of reporting services The
only workaround at this point is to change the order of the
parameters.
Are the parameters on the RDL file set to visible, like below:
Just going to add this as an answer, because it solved the issue for me;
Delete the report on the server & deploy again.
What happens is that you completely remove the report and thus also its parameters. When you deploy a report its parameters their default values do not get overwritten in case it didn't have a default the first time you deployed.

SSRS No Query Designer is Available

I just created a data source and now I'm adding a data set. I'm using a dataset that is embedded in my report and then I go click on Query Designer... and it tells me No cube can be found. I click okay and then it tells me No Query Designer is Available. Every time I click on Query Designer... again, it just goes straight to the No Query Designer is Available window.
I looked around for some answers, and some people said that the cube's visibility might be set to false in its properties. However, I checked and it was true. I don't know what to do anymore.
Is there any way I can get this MDX Query Designer window to open? Did I do something wrong?
I don't know if you managed to fix this problem, but when it happened for me it turned out to be a permissions issue with my data source.
I'll put this as an answer here just in case it helps anyone else out - I found the cube visibility answers quite misleading (although obviously it has helped some people).
I was able to fix this same problem.
I had an embedded datasource defined that connected to my cube. I temporarily created another dataset, selected to embed this dataset in my report, selected the embedded datasource and then attempted to use the Query Designer. It worked for this new dataset. So I then cancelled the creation of the new dataset, went back to the old non-working dataset and was able now open the Query Designer window

intellij idea data sources doesn't see existing table in the database

intellij idea data sources doesn't see existing table in my mysql database, while Netbeans see it.
i've created a table in the database. When i create connection in intellij idea data sources, it sees my scheme, i do select it in "schemas and tables" but then i don't see it in the list.
every schema, but mine's. When i try to connect to it with netbeans or mysql workbench, it's just ok. same story with several databases, with root access, too. any table, but mine's.
what could be wrong?
i see question like mine's here, related to visual studio, no answer.
please, give a good clue
I had the same problem in IntelliJ IDEA 15.
I fixed it by right clicking the data source -> Properties -> Schemas -> Use legacy introspector.
I found the reason of problem for HSQLDB: There is IDEA bug (i have 11.0 version).
Create db with relative path (relative of MODULE), like this:
jdbc:hsqldb:file:db_file/testDBInMemory;shutdown=true;hsqldb.write_delay=‌​false;
f:\TestModule\db_file\
When added it to Data Sources, IDEA recognizes this path as relative of $IDEA_HOME$/bin folder.
f:\Program Files\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 11.0\bin\db_file\
So you have two different data bases. And when JPA updated first, Data Source doesn't see update in other.
WORKAROUND:
use absolute path in file db url.
For the latecomers still experiencing this, Intellij IDEA also has the following features which might help you as they have me:
'Force Refresh' (ctrl + shift + F5): "The Force Refresh action clears the data source information from cache and loads it again from scratch."
'Forget Cached Schema' which clears the schema cache. Does require you to set which schema you want shown again.
Right click your datasource -> Diagnostics -> 'Force Refresh' or 'Forget Cached Schema'

The answer for me was buried in a comment, so I'm posting it here. The symptom for me was seeing an error like this:
Unable to resolve table 'thetablename'
And the table name was highlighted in red.
The following fixes are all ways to trigger IntelliJ to refresh data sources:
CTRL+ALT+Y to refresh the db stuff, or
CTRL+F5, or
Click the database vertical tab on the right, expand, right-click on each DB connection and select 'Refresh'
Kudos to #ice for answering this earlier in a comment. I'm basically just elaborating and making sure this shows up as an answer.

Crystal Reports databaselogin promt

im using CR version 13. With VS2010 and CR SP1 for VS2010.
I have a report with lots of subreports. They use XML schemas for data at design time and then uses runtime populated datasets. It works great on my development machine. But on other development machines or in deployment the report pops up a databaselogon promt asking for username etc.
Ive seen alot of people having similar problems, nobody have an answear. Let me make it clear, i dont use a database in any way shape or form.
Other reports works ok, only my new report do this.
I had some subreports i wanted to supress. I did this by simply not setting any datasource on them. For some reason CR on my development machine didnt pop up a dialog for datasource, so i assumed it worked.
What i do instead now, wich is proberbly also the better way. is to give the report a parameter value wich is used in the supress formulas of the sub reports.
