Connection to OOD hosted database with Crystal Reports XI R2

Hi i'm quite new to Oracle and Crystal reports and trying to connect my Crystal Reports application to an instance of Oracle hosted by Oracle On Demand.
I'm not sure of how to do this and the Crystal documentation is very vague, has anyone done this or can someone give me some ideas of where to start. I've downloaded the latest Oracle Instant client as per the instructions and also the ODBC Instant client, but not sure how to configure the Crystal Reports.
Can anyone help?

You need to make an ODBC connection to the database using Contol Panel> Admin tools-> Data sources. Select system DSN -> Add . U'll see a list of drivers. Select Oracle ODBC driver (which you can install using instant client). Don't select MS Oracle Driver. It often does not work with oracle!!!! In the next screen you'll need to enter the DB details you are trying to access. Hopefully, at this time your tnsnames file is properly setup and there is an enrty in tnsnames for the database you are trying to access. If this is done properl, you'll see the name of the database in the drop down Tns Service names. Select that entry. Test the connection. If the connection works, congrats! If not , check the tnsnames and driver install. If the connection works, close control panel. In Crystal reports, select 'New' to create new report, then either standard or cross tab report. Next screen will be for making database connections. Select 'Oracle Server' under make new connections and enter the details on the next screen about the connection (username, password and select name of the ODBC connection you created above). Hopefully it will work

  • Why we need ABAP if we can connect With Crystal Reports to SAP R/3

    Hi,
        I am new to Crystal reports.I came to know that we can connect SAP R/3 by using SAP InfoSet,SAP Table Cluster and Function connectivity in Crystal Reports.So we can generate reports for SAP R/3 database with out need of ABAP.So why we need to go ABAP module.Is there any disadvantages if we dont use ABAP to generate reports or we can use always Crystal Reports to generate Reports for R/3 database?

    Hi,
    it is correct that you can built a Crystal Report without the need to use ABAP, but we have lots of customers that have invested over the years into ABAP Routines and Crystal REports is able to leverage those as well. So with Crystal Reports you have the choice to leverage existing ABAP Functions as a source for reporting - which might help to leverage complex processing on the backend - or to use InfoSets and tables.

  • Connection to Embeded Database from Crystal Reports XI

    I am writing an application that uses a SQL Server Mobile Database.  I have not been able to determine how to connect to this database through Crystal Reports.
    1.  Is it possible?
    2.  How do I provide the connection string that uses only 2 parameters?
    Gene

    When you create a DSN the ODBC string expects information for Server, Database, Username, and Password.  When you are working with an Embedded Database, typically you have a filename and a password (which can be null).  I was not able to create a DSN for this connection.
    What I have been able to get working is the following:
    1.  Create an ADO DataSet Object within the application.
    2,  Create the CR attaching ot the DataSet Object.
    3.  In the application code where you are attaching the CR to a viewer you must
          a.  Define a Data Adaptor for the DataSet.
          b.  Define a Data Table and load the table from the DataSet GetData() method.
          c.  Define the full path to the report file.
          d.  Define a ReportDocument Object
          e.  Load the report path in the the ReportDocument Object
          f.  Define the DataTable as the Data Source to the ReportDocument Object
          g. Define the Viewer ReportSource as the ReportDocument Object.
    I have been able to use this approach on 3 separate reports and returned the correct data.  A lot of steps, but it is working.

  • Sample code Connection Dbase Oracle 10 g integrate with Crystal Report XI

    help me there any having example [of] code integrate the Crystal Report XI by JSP (Jdev 10.1.3) using Database Oracle 10g ,
    Step [of] what having to me [do/conduct] to making integration of Crystal Report XI by Jdev 10.1.3 with the Database Oracle 10g and What JAR File to setting my JSP for integrate crystal report XI using Oracle 10g.
    I work with Jdev 10.1.3 and OC4J standalone with database oracle 10 g and Crystal Report XI
    please help....

    I would make verify the database within Crystal report and then re publish it again. It seems it doesn't get the connection to the db.
    Have you refreshed the database within Crystal Reports?
    As Graham said, does it open in Crystal Viewer?
    another thing would be to add the DSN (System DSN) onto your client machine as well. Maybe it is not getting a right connection.
    Try it and let us know.

  • Problem with Crystal reports for Eclipse and Postgres-databases

    Hi,
    Is there a known problem when using a PostgreSQL-database to create a report with Crystal reports Plugin? When I drag a table, then occurs a error-windows, that the object can't  created.
    I have found a workaround for solving the problem. After new installing Eclipse Platform Version: 3.4.1 Build id: M20080911-1700 and Crystal reports Plugin 11.8.6.v1371 with JRE 1.6.0_01 the error message allways occurs, when I select a table from a PostgreSQL database (Version 8.2). After restarting eclipse you see the last selected tables in the field explorer and you can drag the table fields in the report. A repeated choice of the same table causes aliases for the table in the field explorer after restarting eclipse.
    Error.log:
    eclipse.buildId=M20080911-1700

    Your issue appears to be a Crystal Reports for Eclipse report designer thing, and not a JRC runtime thing.  The JRC runtime does support Type 4 JDBC drivers, but all modern PostgreSQL drivers are Type 4.
    The current report designer is more restrictive than the JRC runtime - and PostgreSQL, being not on the supported platforms list, has never been tested with the embedded designer.
    Unless there's anybody out there with experience with PostgreSQL and CR4E designer, who would be willing to share their experiences.
    Sincerely,

  • Connection String with Crystal Report XI R2

    Hello,
    I am having an issue with Crystal Reports XI R2 and figured this would be a good place to start and post my question.
    I created a report in Crystal Reports XI and am now trying to pass the user id and password so that the user can just run the report. I attempted to use the Crystal Report connection string setup but receive an Microsoft ODBC error when trying to use that.
    My question is how can you pass a userid and password to crystal report XI so that when you open the report it runs without prompting the user? I do not have access to .NET. Can this be done using Crystal Reports XI only?
    Thanks in advance for your help
    Shaun

    Hi Shawn,
    Standalone CR can only do that if using a URL to open a report in BOE.
    For CR Designer itself the only option is to turn on Trusted Authentication in your Server, used Mixed mode and then import all of your users into SQL Server. Refer to MS's Help file on how to.
    Now when the user runs the reports CR will simply pass the local user info to SQL Server and no prompting will be required. We still respect DB security so if the user is not allowed to access the table then CR respects that.
    Thank you
    Don

  • Images with Crystal Reports

    Somebody pls. advise if it's possible to display images with Crystal Reports ?!
    I want to generate a Price Catalog with images.   I have uploaded images into the system.
    Unfortunately, Oracle Report Builder has let me down.
    A short tutorial on how to achieve this will be useful as i am still trying to get acquainted with CR.
    Cheers - Mave

    Hi..
    I saw your snap shot, in your snap shot you are selecting table fields.  The option is much before selecting table fields.
    Like :
    a. Select Standard Report wizard
    b. It ask you to connect to your datasource (ODBC / OLE DB /Native)
    c.Once you connect to your database you will see below options
       - Your Database Name
          Add Command
          Tables
          Views
          Stored Procedures
    Here you need to select Add Command and it will opend a window to type your sql.
    Thanks,

  • Switch database in Crystal Report 2013

    Hi All,
    I have Crystal Report 2013 and my client require to connect multiple database with single report. I have more than 10 MySql database and all database structure are same.
    E.g. Create one report Employee Detail and connect using ODBC (RDO) I have successfully connected my single MySql database. Now I need to use this report for another database.
    My question is how to switch database at runtime?
    Anybody help me please.
    Thanks.

    You can create either a .NET or a Java app to schedule or view the report - it would connect in to the CMS and handle things from there.  It's not difficult to set the database connection in code.  Your best bet for additional help will be to look here:  http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/microsoft-net-sdk or here:http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/java-sdk.  There is sample code available in both places as well.
    Also, while I know that the utility Ido is referring to  will work with Crystal reports, I'm not entirely sure it will work with reports that reside in CRS.  So, you'll need to review it closely to determine whether it will work for you.

    I've included this sticky because we are seeing many posts in this forum regarding the error Invalid export DLL or export format when exporting to Excel and RTF in .NET applications using the Crystal Reports 2008 .NET SDK.
    Issue
    Exporting a Crystal Report to Excel or RTF format
    .NET application using the Crystal Reports 2008 runtime (version 12.0)
    error Invalid export DLL or export format
    We've been doing some testing in-house and haven't reproduced this behavior. In order to figure this issue out we will need your help. If you are getting this error please reply to this post with the following information:
    Server Operating System
    Version of the .NET Framework

    Any additional comments
    What We Know
    The error invalid export DLL or export format may occur when exporting to Excel and RTF formats in .NET applications utilizing the Crystal Reports 2008 runtime (v 12.0)
    Other export formats like Adobe PDF, Crystal Reports, CSV all export with no error
    Some customers have resolved this by adding C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 to their environment path variables
    This may have something to do with the file libpng10.dll. Both crxf_xls.dll and crxf_rtf.dll are dependent on it.
    Thanks in advance for your co-operation. We hope to figure out what is causing this issue soon.

    Hi,
    I am also having the same problem, except that I am not using Crystal Report 2008 runtime but the actual Crystal Report 2008 installation on Windows XP SP2 with VS Studio 2005 (VC++). MS .NET Framework 2.0.
    Cyrstal Report XIR2 was installed on the same machine but uninstalled before installing Crystal Report 2008.
    So only one instance of libpng10.dll and found in C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86
    Crpe32.dll        3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
    Crxf_xls.dll       3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
    Crxf_rtf.dll         3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
    crdb_oracle.dll  3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
    libpng10.dll       3/1/2008 version 1.0.30.0             122880 bytes
    There is no problem for exporting to pdf, html, word, csv, Crystal Report. If I create a testing report without any data from database, the testing report can then be exported also to rtf and xls.
    Oracle 11.1.0.6 is the DB for the reports.
    Adding C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 to the path did not resolve my problem.
    Any idea to fix this issue?
    Thanks

    Hi experts
                         I have created a report in crystal addon using demo database, now I want to change the database to see the actual testing of report.

    I have not yet installed the Crystal Addon for SAP (Using R1 Reports now) I would hope that Addon allows you to use a different database with Crystal, my current solution does and that is how I build most of my reports with views and sp's.
    I hope this is not to far off topic.

  • Deploying VS 2005 Applications with Crystal Reports

    Using VS 2005 with Crystal Reports bundled, I created a web site that uses Crystal Reports. On my own web server (which I have total control over), I can deploy it using CR merged modules and everything is fine. Ultimately, however, my website is going to be hosted by another company and I am not sure if they are going to be willing to run the setup file that loads the Crystal Report dependencies (like I was able to do on my own web sever). So my question is this, is it possible to upload a website to a host provider and have CR reports work without having the host provider run a CR setup program? If this is not possible, do you know of any host providers that support CR?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello,
    The Crystal Report .NET runtime files will need to be deployed to the eventual web host.  If your web host won't run the CR.NET deployment package then your Crystal application won't run.
    I know there are web hosts that support deploying Crystal Reports runtime packages, but I don't have any specific names to give you.  You can probably Google for some options.
    Sincerely,
    Dan Kelleher
