CrystalReportViewer Failed to Open the connection Unable to retrieve Object

I am getting the following Error on trying to view a report in the CMC and the Infoview.
CrystalReportViewer
Failed to Open the connection. ReportName
Unable to retrieve Object.
Failed to open the connection. ReportName
I have recently re-installed Crystal Reports Server XI  on a server after a disk failure. I had a backup of my CMS database. I reinstalled the Crystal Servwer without atttaching this database, however crystal did not create a new db so I attached my old one.
I have deleted all my old ODBC connections and recreated them with new names and then reconnected my reports in Crystal Reports XI using the "Set Datasource Location" option and the report works fine.But as soon as I try to view it after uploading it as an object onto the server, I get the above error.
Any help would be appreciated.

I am tagging into this unanswered question as well because I think I have a similar issue.  In my case I have a report which runs correctly in Crystal Reports designer but when I move it to the scheduler it fails on a "Failed to connect" to the report.  In have used "Set data location" to no avail.  When I go to Admin Tools and look at the complete list of datasources for all my reports this particular datasource is listed twice.  The group of reports under one of the datasources works correctly.  The reports listed under the second datasource all fail.  The two datsources are spelled exactly the same and when I sompare the database details for a successfull and a failing report using this datasource they are the same (in the console and in infoview).
I have also checked the ODBC connections on the Crystalserver and there is only one occureence.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

    I saved a report via Crystal Reports, Saved with data, saves as Enterprise, and picked the server and folder - all saved and appeared to be fine.
    However when I tried to run/view the rport I get the error message (see above).....so via under admin in the Central Management Control I entered in the databse settings and tried again, but get the same error message.
    I have checked on the actual server and all the services are running (I do need to restart:- WinHTTP Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Service, a lot of the time?!?!)
    Any idea why I can upload and save reports, but I cannot view or run them?
    This happens on all reports!!! (apart from 1, which was setup on the day of the install to show it worked, but there was a lot of going and coming between screens to do this, and I am not sure what was done

    Thank you for your reply, unfortunately that did not work!!
    On the SQL Server I have opened Business View Manager, and then opened the Data Connection/ODBC and a list of 3 connections are displayed:-
    CrystalServer
    CrystalServerSystemODBC
    Xtreme Sample Database 11.5
    None of the ODBC (System DSN) connections that I have setup on the server are listed!!
    The 1 report that does run, its ODBC (System DSN) connections are not setup on the server and is not shown in the Business View Manager either?
    Not sure if this helps??

  • "Failed to open the connection" problem related to multiple tables in the report?

    Post Author: Gadow
    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
    System specifics:
    Web environment using ASP.Net 2.0 (from Visual Studio 2005 Professional)
    Crystal Reports 2008, v. 12.0.0.549, Full
    We have set up the following method for displaying reports via our website:
    User is sent to a report-specific page. The user is given some filtering options specific to the report that will be viewed. When the user has specified the data filters, the user clicks a button.
    The page wraps up the report parameters -- selection query, formula values, report location, the name to be displayed, etc. -- into a class which gets put into the Session object.
    The page redirects to DisplayReport.aspx. ALL reports redirect to this page.
    DisplayReport.aspx retrieves the report parameters from Session. A ReportDocument object is created and loaded, then set with the data from the parameters class.
    A ConnectionInfo object is created and set with the relevant log on credentials. All of the reports draw from the same database, so the connection information is hard-coded as the same for all reports. The page then iterates through all of the tables in the Database.Tables collection of the ReportDocument and calls ApplyLogOnInfo to each table using the ConnectionInfo object.
    The page is rendered and the user gets the filtered report.
    We currently have seven reports. Five reports work fine and display the correctly filtered data with no error messages. Two reports generate a Failed to open the connection error and do not display. I have verified that the queries being sent to DisplayReport.aspx are valid, and as I said the connection information itself is hard-coded in the one page that displays the reports and this is identical to all reports.
    The five reports that do work all have a single data table, either an actual database table or a single view. The two reports that do not work all have multiple tables. As far as I can tell, this is the only difference between the sets; all seven reports are based on the same DSN and I have verified the database on all of the reports. All of the reports were written using Crystal Reports 8, and all of the reports display fine in a Windows app I wrote some years ago using Crystal Reports 8. Again, the only difference between those reports that do work and those that do not is the number of tables used in the report: one table or view in the reports that display, more than one table (tables only, none use views) in the reports that do not display.
    As for the code I am using, below are the relevant methods. The function MakeConnectionInfo simply parses out the components of a standard SQL connection string into a ConnectionInfo object. DisplayedReport is the ID of the CrystalReportViewer on the page.Protected Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
            Dim o As Object = Session("ReportParams")
            Dim ReportURL As String = ""

    Does this approach not work with reports containing multiple tables, or is there something I'm missing? Any meaningful suggestions would be much appreciated.

    That might be your problem - the report is expecting to find the odbc conector it has been assigned and can't so it fails. Not knowing the version you're using, I suggest you defined an odbc driver on the development machine the same as the one on the server (or vice versa depending on which is less distruptive). Make sure your report is using that connection and republish it. It should work fine.
    Just in case you're not sure how, in XI you change the odbc connection by right-clicking on the 'Database fields' section within Field Explorer, Create new connection and then re-assign each table in the top window to the new odbc connection in the bottom window.

  • Failed to open the connection. Error in the Designer when copying ...

    I have two different systems I am developing an application on.
    I copy the entire directory from one system to the other. Both systems have the same environment:
    Visual Studio 2010
    Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 (the production release, or I think it is the vesion is 13.0.2.0 is the version on the assemblies)
    SQL 2008 R2
    Today, I started adding Crystal reports to this VS solution. I have a reportdriver class that exports all the reports to an HTTP Stream, but we can sit that aside for now. The problem I am having is strictly with the integrated designer.
    I have a bunch of existing reports written for an old Sybase databse. I have ported them to SQL and the table structure matches. I simply add the report to my project, point it to the new datasource (using "Set Datasource Location" - OLE ADO SQL) and then preview the report to be sure it runs.
    I am just using "localhost" as my server name for the OLE connection so I...in theory... don't have to change the data source to view it on the other system. Both systems have SQL 2008 R2 installed locally. For my login credentials, I use SQL Security and use the same database login/password on both development machines andthe production server.
    Today, I copied my entire project to the other PC (as I do almost every day).. When I open any of the reports (in VS) and try to preview them I get:
    Failed to open the connection.
    Details: ADO Error Code: 0x80004005
    Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provide for SQL Server
    Description: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect().]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
    SQL State: 08001
    Native Error: 17 [Database Vendor Code: 17]
    I can only guess that I am using two different OLE ADO drivers on the two systems or there is something embedded in the rport or somewhere in my solution that "knows" I am not really on the same system that I initially set them up on and previewd them with.
    Am I on the right track? Any idea how I can fix this? Obviously, I don't want to have to setup the datasource for every report in my application (if I do that, the report works) when I copy it from the development to the production server.
    I am in a real bind here and under a fast aproaching deadline. Any help is much appreciated!!!

    Don't use localhost as your server name. It's a reserved name and should not be used in code.

  • Crystal Server 2011 "Failed to open the connection" with 32 & 64 bit drivers are loaded

    Brand new installation of Crystal Reports Server 2011 with CR Developer 2011 as well.  Downloaded new Postgres and MySQL drivers for both the 32 and 64 bit ODBC definitions.  Created a new report on the server to eliminate any migration driver incompatibility issues.  Reports run fine in Developer but give the same "Failed to open the connection." 
    and still problems running the reports  If I Save Data with the reports, I can click View to see the data, but they will not refresh.
    All the articles I'm finding online seem to point to the issue with needing 32 & 64 bit drivers, but I've loaded both and built my ODBC connections with the 32 drivers in the SysWOW64 folder.
    Logged in as Administrator.  Any thoughts out there?  Are there some new security measures?
    Thanks in advance ...

    Yes, Designer and CRS are on the same machine.
    Good catch with the 5.1 driver.  I loaded up the mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.13-win32 driver and used that.  It alone failed when I made the ODBC connection with it.  I see on the CRS 2011 Feature Pack 3 .pdf file that it says "Only 64-bit database connector middleware is supported" ... I downloaded the other mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.13-winx64 64bit file, but teh .msi and .zip versions failed on the load.  Do I need that if it says that or should the first one be enough?
    I've been trying to use a normal User DSN, no?  Apparently I don't have access as a machine Administrator to do it as I get "You are logged on with non-Administrative privileges.  System DSNs could not be created or modified."  Having our server guys get that straightened out and we'll see.  Had not heard of that actually but will give it a go.
    You say I should create the DSN entries in the 64 bit version of the ODBC Data Source Administrator ... located in the system32 folder, not the SysWOW64 folder, where the 32 bit drivers are found, yes?  Isn't that the "wrong" location to use I've been reading?  Or are System DSNs different from a User DSN?
    BIG thanks for the replies.  I owe you beers!!!!!

  • CRS 2008 - Failed to open the connection.

    I just recently installed the evaluation of CRS 2008 onto my server. I can access every function in CMC and can see all reports that were published in InfoView. However, when I attempt to view a report, I get an error that states "Failed to open the connection. <<Report_Name.rpt>> "
    The server is a Windows 2003 R2 machine, with IIS 6.0 installed.
    During installation, I had checked both IIS & Java (along with the installation of Tomcat 5.5)
    I also installed Crystal Reports 2008, and all reports work perfectly in the developer. The database that the reports pulls data from is a Progress 9.1D database. Could the database be an issue even though I am connecting through an ODBC?

    Yes, the DSN is a system DSN and is located on the server that Crystal Reports Server 2008 is installed on. The Progress driver is also loaded. That driver is the MERANT 3.60 32-bit Progress SQL92 v9.1D.
    When I run the diagnostics, Web Intelligence Tier fails with the following error:
    "Error creating Dataproviders. null - Error viewing Web Intelligence Document. Cannot initialize Report Engine server. (Error: RWI 00226) - Scheduling Web Intelligence Report failed. --Document: " Diagnostic Web Intelligence Document Test" not found."
    I'm hoping this can shed some light on what is wrong.

  • CR2008 - Failed to open the connection. Failed to open the connection. ...

    Getting the following error when running CR2008 reports from web server:
    "Failed to open the connection. Failed to open the connection. <report_name>{2585477E-FB02-4594-9DB5-FFBFF2ABE124}.rpt"
    The web server is a Windows Server 2008 x64.  The IIS7 application pool is configured for 32bit, which solved our initial problem.  We are getting the above error if we use either CR2008 or CR2008 SP1.  Same issue with CRRuntime_12_1_mlb.exe.
    If we load CR2008 onto the web server, we can open and run the reports.  Thus, there appears to be no problem with the reports or the data source (an Access database).  Web application runs on development machine (windows xp).
    Why is there a GUID in the report file name?  How can we resolve this issue or what else should we check?
    TIA, Gary.

    Figured it out.  Turns out the ODBC data source name had been setup incorrectly.  Became obvious when stepping through the code.

    Hi,
    Following solution might help you to resolve the issue.
    Solution1:
    Issue happens because universe connection to the Database is not responding and the Data Source Name is not configured to write SQL Server 2005 database.
    Resolution
    Created new DSN connection under SYSTEM DSN to SQL Server 2005 Database.
    Import the universe from the designer.
    Go to File->Parameters.
    Edit Connection.
    On the Database Middleware Page expand SQl Server 2005->Select SQL Server 2005 driver.
    Change the DSN to new DSN connection
    Test the connection.
    Save the Universe and Export it to the repository.
    Solution2:
    I am taking Oracle as an example over here.
    This can be caused when the SQLNET.ora is located in a remote location using mapped drives.
    Resolution
    To resolve,
    check the registry [HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORACLE] you should see a folder called HOME0
    look for any paths that contain a mapped drive partition
    Change the mapped drive letter to a UNC path (
    server\folder)
    Open a command prompt and do a tnsping using the tnsname and verify the location of the SQLNET.ora or TNSNAMES.ora
    If the path is not updated to the new path
    Reboot the server

  • Getting Error:Failed to open the connection while calling crystal report

    I am getting the below error while calling the crystal report from dot net app. I am using OLEDB to connect to database. It is working perfectly in our DEV environment but as soon as I move it to production information after changing the logon information in the report it start giving the below error.
    Failed to open the connection.C:\WINDOWS\TEMP{C2FD97D9-2ADE-41BB-88FF-23A4DF20BC6F}.rpt
    Details: [Database Vendor Code: 17 ]

    Are you able to connect to the database from the production machine using a UDL file?
    If you haven't tried this, here's how to do it. Take these steps on the machine that is hosting the application. Create a new text file on the desktop. Change the file extension to ".udl" (without the quotes). Double-click on this to bring up the OLEDB connection test: start on the Provider tab and select the appropriate provider. Click "Next" and on the following tab enter your connection information. Click the "Test Connection" button to test the connection. Does it connect  to the database successfully?
    If you click on "OK" to close the dialog and then open the UDL file with Notepad, you should see an OLEDB connection string. In this string should be the same property values for server, database, user id and password which you are providing through your application. If they are not the same, modify your application to use these values.
    If testing your connection information with the UDL file works but your application is still failing when using the same credentials, try profiling or tracing the database. Do you see connection attempts from the application? Are there any errors?
    If you're impersonating, have you set up windows authentication correctly for both the application and the database?

  • CR2008:Failed to open the connection. Failed to open the connection. Report

    Hi,
    I've just upgraded from Crystal XI R2 to Crystal 2008. All my reports open happily in Crystal 2008. I have also deployed the Crystal 2008 runtime to a Windows 2003 SP2 R2 server running ASP.NET 1 and ASP.NET 2. Before the Crystal 2008 runtime was installed on top of the already present Crystal XI R2 Runtime I could view RPT files via the .NET report viewer (version XI). Now that Crystal 2008 runtime is installed I receive an error message when I try to view the reports, again, via the .NET report viewer (version 12), although no code has changed apart from all references changed from XI to 2008.
    Code is:
    CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument oReportDocument = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
                oReportDocument.Load(sReportFilename);
    Tables oTables = oReportDocument.Database.Tables;
                   foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table oTable in oTables)
                        TableLogOnInfo crTableLogOnInfo = oTable.LogOnInfo;
                        crTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.IntegratedSecurity = true;
                        crTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "DB" ;
                        crTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName = "server" ;
                        oTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTableLogOnInfo);
    CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = oReportDocument;
                this.DataBind();
    Error message is: 'Failed to open the connection. Failed to open the connection'.
    Any help would be great.

    You are correct in that there are no database connectivity changes in CR 2008.
    If you do not have SP0 for CR 2008, download it from here:
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007528552008E/cr2008_sp0.zip
    If that does not help, I'd like to check if the correct dlls are loading when using CR 2008. To do that, download the modules utility from here:
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip
    Then do the following:
    1) unzip the download
    2) Run the app with the CR 2008 references
    3) get the error. leave the error on the screen
    4) Start modules
    5) Go to the File menu, select New List -> Memory Modules
    6) Expand "By process"
    7) Find the app exe (or the .NET dev env)
    8) Click on that
    9) Go to the View menu and select Details
    10) Look to see if there are any dlls loading form the CR XI r2 directory (c:\Program files\Business Objects\Common\3.5\bin)

  • Error: Failed to open the connection when opening Crystal Report in CMC or

    Hello all,
    I am getting theError: Failed to open the connection when opening Crystal Report in CMC or Infoview
    with access database as the datasource which is in the network drive.

    Hi Sonali,
    This is because Crystal Reports does not recognize database connection from share drive
    1. Save the database locally on server machine
    2. Create a new database on server and link the new database with the database on Network.
    Steps to link the database.
    1.Create a new test database on server.
    2. Go to File --> Get External Data --> Link tables | Select the database on Network Drive.
    3. Select all the tables from the database.
    4. Save the Database  e.g. Test.mdb.
    5. Create an ODBC Connection on server machine, with the same name as on client machine using test.mdb database.
    Note: Click on Advanced button, enter the default user id and password for the odbc connection, it is not mandatory to give Login Name and Password, only if the user id and password are given then we need to provide the same user id and password in the CMC database configuration.
    6. Create a report using this ODBC connection, and save the report to Enterprise.
    Regards,
    Navin
