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?

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!!!!!

Crystal report Error "Failed to open the connection."

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.

Navin

Failed to open the connection in Crystal Reports

Hi All,
I have Created One Crystal Report.
When I Preview Report (Administration>Crystal Reports>Select Report-->Print and Preview),
System displays the following error message.
" Failed to open the connection."
Where as when I view the same report directly from Crystal Designer (Administrator --> Crystal Reports Administrator --> Crystal Designer ). It is working fine.

"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 = ""
        'Verify that there is a ReportParameters object
        If o Is Nothing OrElse o.GetType IsNot GetType(ReportParameters) Then 'Redirect to the error page
            Response.Redirect("/errors/MissingReport.aspx")
        End If
        ReportParams = CType(o, ReportParameters)
        'Verify that the report exists
        ReportURL = "/Reports/ReportFiles/" + ReportParams.ReportName
        ReportPath = Server.MapPath(ReportURL)
        If Not File.Exists(ReportPath) Then
            Response.Redirect("/errors/MissingReport.aspx?Report=" + ReportParams.ReportTitle)
        End If

            Dim TLI As TableLogOnInfo = T.LogOnInfo
            TLI.ConnectionInfo = CI
            T.ApplyLogOnInfo(TLI)
        Next
        DisplayedReport.ReportSource = RD
    End Sub
Does this approach not work with reports containing multiple tables, or is there something I'm missing? Any meaningful suggestions would be much appreciated.

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.
Try this also [Kbase |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333533353333333433363339%7D.do] SAP Note 1553469 - How to enable Database logging in Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010

Failed to open the connection on CR Server 2008 .

Hi,
1. I used trial version of CR Server 2008 V1 SP3, I upload a rtp file into this server and try to view. but after parameters input, I got "Failed to open the connection". this rpt work very will on my CR Server XI version.
2. on this new CR server, this rpt file database configuration, I used "use original database logon information from report" and select "Prompt the user for database logon".
3. on my old CR server, when I view this RPT, system will prompt a logon information to let me logon DB, but on new server, system didn't show the DB logon screen before input parameter.
On client PC, I has set a system DSN when I created this rpt file. Does anybody can help ?
Thanks

"Failed to open the connection" Issue

Dear All,
I am using crystal report X1 Release 2 version. I am connecting the crystal report from the application software. When I open the crystal report designer directly and refresh means it displays the report properly. But when I try to open the crystal report from the Application it shows "Failed to open the connection" error message. What would be the possible reason(s).
My database is MS Access and am using ODBC to connect with database.
Expecting your replies at the earliest.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Rahaneef T

I am using MS Access database, it is not protected by Password. I am creating dynamic dsn for the database.
My application is developed using MS VC++ 6.0 in Windows xp.
I am using SP 4 for the Crystal report X1 release 2 designer.
My application is not yet deployed, still using in the dev system.
I have attached the code snippet below for your reference:
IApplicationPtr     m_Application;
IReportPtr           m_ReportType;
IDatabaseTablePtr      m_DBtable;
IConnectionPropertyPtr      m_ConnectionPrprty;
csDSNFormat.Format("ODBC;Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DSN=''; Dbq=%s;",csDBFilePath); //dynamic dsn
m_ReportType = m_Application->OpenReport(FilePath);
m_DBtable = m_ReportType->Database->Tables->GetItem(1) ;
/**delete all previous connection properties **/
m_DBtable->ConnectionProperties->DeleteAll();
/** set the dsn for the current database **/
m_DBtable->ConnectionProperties->Add("DSN",(_variant_t)csDSNFormat);
m_Viewer.ViewReport();
/** To refresh the display items **/
m_ReportType->DiscardSavedData();
Awaiting for your reply.

Failed to open the connection. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 53 ]

I'm upgrading one of our applications from Visual Studio 2005 to 2010. In the process I'm also switching our reports to run using Stored Procedures instead of Tables/Views. Everything runs fine on development machines after all the migration work. On the server however, it does not work. And I am getting the error message ""
Server is Windows 2003 Server 32 bit. And yes, I have installed the latest runtimes version 13.0.2000.0 on the server. There have been no other changes on the server other than to switch the target framework on the website in question from .net 2 to .net 4, and then to modify the web.config file to remove references to the older Crystal Reports and replace with references to the newer version.
I've seen many other threads on this "failed to open the connection" errors but none of them are my problem except there is one post that remains unanswered where someone had the same Database Vendor Code 53. I don't know what that error means, spent a considerable amount of time researching that before asking this question.
Lastly, it appears that this error only happens when the report is pulling data from a Stored Procedure rather than Tables/Views. If I re-copy the previous reports, they still work.
The ODBC drivers haven't changed, nor should they. They are fully up to date on that server machine.
I can't think of anything else that would be indicative of anything other than this is a bug. Here is the error text as it shows up in the event log:

Lots of great info here, except for the database; MS SQL? Oracle? Etc?
Database Vendor Code 53 is an error code that the CR engine simply passes straight from the database it's self. E.g.; look at your database error code and you should be able to find a verbose description of the error.
As a test, what happens if you add the report to your project and run it in the CR design part of the .NET IDE?
- A quick google search of Error 53 (for MS SQL - an assumption) comes up with a number of good hits. E.g.;

Problem: Failed to open the connection. Error Code 0x800002F4 (-2147482892)

Problem: Failed to open the connection. Error Code 0x800002F4 (-2147482892)
This is on two (2) separate machines. These are NEW INSTALLATION development work stations (laptops). One is Vista (Visual Studio 2008 / Crystal Reports 2008), and the other is Windows XP Pro (Visual Studio 2003 / Crystal Reports XI R1).
I am using EXISTING CODE (established over several years), and EXISTING REPORTS (established over several years). Old development station was XP Pro, as above, and still exists, and still works fine.
I can open the report in Crystal, and see the results just fine. Data for the report is obtained via ODBC.
Can someone identity the actual error by the Error Code above, and advise. Thanks You in Advance.

Ok, so let's start at step 1:
SP 1 just released and I'd recommend applying that. The SO is available from here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100010503722008E/cr2008_sp1.exe
For future reference, msm matching the above SP is here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100011715292008E/cr121_mm.zip
and msi is here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100011722132008E/cr121_redist_install.zip
Step 2: a few questions:
a) I am not sure what CR SDK you are using; RDC, .NET? I suspect that you are using the CR assemblies for .NET, but do confirm.
b) what is the database you are connecting to?
c) is this a web or a win app?
Step 3: As the error can mean any number of things (to me it's just means something went wrong during the attempt to connect to the database...), the solution may vary, however the troubleshooting steps remain quite consistent:
1) Do make sure the report is indeed working in the CR 2008 designer (e.g.; make sure "saved data" is not enabled.
2) Try a simple new windows app with one of your reports. See if you have a report with no subreports and use it
3) If that works, use a report with subreports
4) If the above does not work in (1) above, create a new report to the same ODBC connection, do not code any database connection - let the report prompt for the logon parameter (PWD)
5) Run the new report in your new app, enter the PWD when prompted
6) If this works, add your database logon code
7) If that works, add your original report (again, preferably with no subreports)
8) If that fails, ensure that the subreport and main report use the same database connection type (ODBC)
9) If it works, see if you can determine the difference between your old app and the new app.

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.

Infoviewer Error - Failed to open the connection.

Hi,
I get the below error when tring to view a report from infoviewer?

I am receiving a similar error.
Failed to open the connection.
Details: 08004:OracleODBCOraORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified Database Vendor Code: 12154
I've seen all sorts of discussion on the intertubes about possible fixes however, none stated are practical or they do not address my error specifically. I've exhausted resources on the net as well as those available to me.
I'm currently running SAP Crystal Reports 2011 on WIN7 64bit and using Oracle in OraClient 10g_home1.
Please let me know what insight you have. I cannot roll back to previous versions of Windows nor less encryption.
Thank you for your time.
Thank you, again, for your time.
