Hi,

I could not get any error message when i reload it from location

http://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml

When you get data from website as xml select Tables -> Envelope/Cube/Cube/Cube

Second option

Let me know if not works.

My problem is not regarding this address though, i have anther one and that one works if i run the script locally on my computer but not on the server. could it be a firewall issue? settings in QVS?

Hi,

Did you check same it works on server if so, i thing it is firewall problem or also check the site is added in trusted one or not try to run the URL on any browser if it works on that P.C from which you reload and check it.

Sorry for late answer, Annika, did you solve the problem yet?

I have not had problems like this myself so i am not sure but I guess you can try with the recommendations in the thread above.

no problem.

i haven't solved it yet. i'm thinking it could have something to do with the light-publisher that comes along with version 8.5. My plan is to reload it with a .bat and schedueled task hoping that will do the trick.

I've added the sites to trusted and the servicedesk guys has opened the firewall especially for these addresses but i still get the same error message.

Does it help if i say that i'm on a 8.5 server/publisher?

Thanks again.

I don't remember how i solved it actually, but this problem occured again just a few days ago and then it was a proxy reason. The server had "forgotten" that the address was ok so to solved it i reloaded a couple of times until it worked again.

sorry i don't have a better explanation!

I found the solution to this issue. It comes from Windows internet options handling of mixed content. To fix it, open up "Internet Options" (from either the control panel or IE). Click on the "Security" tab. With the internet zone selected, click on the "Custom level..." button. Scroll down in the list for "Display Mixed Content" and select "Enable".

If you are running Win 2008, you'll need to disable IE Enhanced Security Configuration:
