Reports Builder 9iDS Rel2 and SQL Server 2000

Hi,
I need to connect to a SQL Server 2000 database from within Report Builder (for a proof of concept) and I am getting error 62000-Failed to connect to datasource.
Can you help?
My OS is Windows Prof 2000.
I have Downloaded Oracle 9iDS Rel2 and Oracle 9i AS J2EE and Web Cache. They are installed in the sale Oracle Home.
I have modified the REPORTS_CLASSPATH with the datadirect jar files and the j2ee oc4j.jar.
I have added the classpath definition with jars to my rwserver.conf.
I start Report Builder select JDBC Query
enter my connect info:
Username: user
Passowrd: pwd
Database: dbname
and select the merant-sqlserver driver from the list.
What am I doing wrong?
I have been at this a week can anyone help?
Thanks.

You should ask this on the Reports discussion forum, you'll get a better answer there.

    Hi Jeanne
    1. When you run the report to paper design from builder, you need to add the necessary jar file of driver to REPORTS_CLASSPATH env variable in registery.
    2. To run the report from report server and to generate to file from report builder, you need to add the jar files via classPath attribute of engine element in server/builder conf file. It would be like this
    <engine id="rwEng" .....classPath="<yr classpath>" >
    3. Have a look at jdbcpds.conf file in OH/reports/conf dir. This file need to have the driver information for the driver you are using. The entry here also specifies the connect sting format which is required by the driver. You need to refer to driver doc for connect string format.
    Once you have all this set up ready, run the report. You need to mention the connect string in same format as specified in driver info in jdbcpds.conf file.
    Try this.
    Thanks

  • Reporting with Report Builder 3.0 and SQL Server 2008 R2

    Hi everyone
    I'm trying really hard to find books about Report Builder 3.0 or SQL Server 2008 R2
    I found the following books on the "learn" site, sadly they do not cover Report Builder 3.0 or SQL Server 2008 R2 since there all too old.
    Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Analysis Services Step by Step
    Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 MDX Step by Step
    Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Reporting Services Step by Step
    What are good books (like the ones above) for the newest system?

    Hello wishmasterIN,
    Thank you to post your question on TechNet forum.
    Based on my experience, the books are always delayed to the new technology, since the author need time to summarize and analyze the new features in the new product or technology, write it down and publish it. If you want to have a quick learning about the
    new technology, MSDN library is a good place. It can be a cookbook for you. It contains some detail steps for tools, such as Report Builder or BIDS. It also contains many new features introduction. It is always very useful for you to understand the new features.
    In addition, it is based on web and many links make you can jump to the other technical point freely. The most important is all of these is free and all the information will be updated if the new feature is released.
    In short, if you want to learn the latest technology about Microsoft product, MSDN is a good choice. I hope my introduction is helpful to you.

  • Report Builder 1.0 for SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2

    We are trying to implement Ad-Hoc Reporting using SSRS 2008 R2.
    First of all, it is very unhelpful that all SSRS books are for either 2008 or 2012, even though SSRS has major changes in 2008 R2 compared to 2008.
    Our instructional materials indicate that we should build Report Models to abstract out our databases into terms familiar to our business users.
    The problem we are having is the difference in functionality between Report Builder 1.0 and Report Builder 3.0. Report Builder 3.0 is touted as having the modern, ribbon based interface that is supposed to make end-users feel more comfortable.  However,
    all the documentation says that end users are supposed to use Report Builder 1.0 for Ad-Hoc Reporting.  And, it seems, that the reports generated by Report Builder 1.0 are not round-trip compatible with all the other reporting tools for SSRS 2008 R2.
    The documentation we have illustrates that Report Builder 1.0 is nice for Ad-Hoc reporting, because is based on connecting directly to Report Models, and the end users can directly drag-and-drop entities and fields into their reports.
    When we try working with Report Builder 3.0, it seems we must first connect to the Report Model as a Data Source and then build a Dataset query on the Report Model.  Only then are some entity attributes available to be dropped into the report. 
    If the user decides another source column is needed, they have to go back, edit the query, save the query, and then drag the column from the Dataset to the report.  This does not seem end user friendly at all!
    We are also concerned that if we train our users on the seemingly soon-to-be-obsolete Report Builder 1.0, and get them used to having direct Report Model access, that at some point we will have to move them to the Dataset-interrupted approach of Report Builder
    2+.  Highlighting this perception of impending obsolescence of Report Builder 1.0 is that in our shop that is starting with SSRS 2008 R2, we cannot figure out how to get a copy of Report Builder 1.0 in the first place.
    We just don't see our end users being savvy enough to handle the steps involved with creating Datasets on top of Report Model Data Sources.  So we would have to build the Datasets for them.  But in that case, what point is there in creating any
    Report Models in the first place if DBAs are the ones to make Datasets?
    As such, it is hard to envision a forward-looking SSRS implementation that has the end user ease-of-use Ad-Hoc reporting that the SSRS 2008 documentation presents.
    What is it that Microsoft actually wants/expects SSRS implementers to do?

    Hi Dan,
    Report Builder 1.0
    Simple template-based reports
    Requires report model

  • Report builder error after applying sql server 2008R2 SP3 when click on report builder gives error like 'Application validation did not succeed. Unable to continue.

    Hi All,
    I applied SQL server 2008 R2 SP3 recently but report builder doesn't work since then
    When click on report builder gives error like 'Application validation did not succeed. Unable to continue.
    and when I try to see details the error summary like following:
    +File, Microsfot.ReportingServices.ComponentLibrary.Controls.dll, has a different computed hash than specified in manifest.
    this is urgent.
    Please reply me asap.
    thanks a lot in advance.

    Regards, Naman

    Hi nikp11,
    According to your description, you recently updated SQL Server 2008 R2 to SP3, Report Builder doesn’t work since then the error occurs: "Application validation did not succeed. Unable to continue".
    This is an known issue in SSRS 2008 R2 SP3 that Microsoft has published an article addressing this issue. It is not planning to release a fix for this issue. But we could implement one of the following workarounds:
    Install and run Report Builder 3.0 of SQL Server 2008 R2 RTM.
    Install and run Report Builder of SQL Server 2014.
    Uninstall Service Pack 3 then uninstall Service Pack 2 and then reinstall Service Pack 3.
    Reference:
    Report Builder of SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 3 does not launch
    Thank you for your understanding.

    If it works from a PC and not from the Unix box then you may have a network issue of some sort, I.E. firewall not letting it through etc.
    Try using telnet on the Unix box to see if you can connect to the sql server on the port that the SQL server is listening.
    E.G.
    telnet server_name 1433
    You may need to change the port number to the one that the SQL server is using.

  • Sap4.7 and sql server 2000 on windows2003:when install di ,error:MDB-05039

    sap4.7 and sql server 2000 on windows2003:
    when install database instance ,there is a error,at change  tempdb
      MDB-05039:Unable to stop server dev ,
    please help !!!!

    Every time you start SQL Server it also creates a new tempdb. When you change the layout (physical structure, size) you have to restart SQL Server in order for these changes to take effect.
    It seems that the installation routine has changed the layout (it does that according to your input!) and is now trying to stop and restart SQL Server. When you run into this error, have you tried to stop and restart SQL Server manually? After that choose the Retry option of the installation routine. Just a guess...
    Do you have some more log information?

  • Using Report Creator and SQL Server 2000

    I am attempting to make some prompts and such using the report designer, and after connecting to my SQL Server 2000 DBMS using the SQL native Client as nothing else works, when i try to make a prompt based of a DB field, it does not populate... also when I verify the database it says that it cannot find the tables, but if I put one of the fields on the report, the data is displayed, I can also browse the data while creating the report as well...
    Any ideas how to fix this?

  • Crystal Reports and SQL Server 2000

    Hi all,
    I read the document "Troubleshooting Database Connectivity for Crystal Reports" and tried all SQL Server jdbc drivers (1.2, 2.0,2.0.1, 3) and I could not find  a working driver with crystal reports at all.
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d05b3bb7-0f28-2c10-4ea3-84dbdc4e414e?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
    I'm also not sure if there is a working one?
    Are there anybody who suggest me a jdbc driver for SQL server which also supports Crystal Reports?
    The connection is ok, but the problem is I don't see tables and other staff under the connection...According to the document above, this means the driver does not support crystal reports...
    Product versions which involve this issue as follows:
    SQL Server 2000
    JRE 5.0
    Crystal Reports 11.8 (Comes with IBM RAD 7.5 IDE)
    Platform : IBM Portal 6.1.0.2 ( IBM Websphere App. Server 6.1)
    Any help would deeply be appreciated.
    I'm totaly exhausted. I hope someone help me...
    Best regards,
    E.

    I gave up this issue since I learnt that Crystal Java Reporting Component does not support portlet.  I also tried with SQL 2008 and I also updated my IDE for updating Crystal plug-in in it.  It was finally working at portal but the pager buttons and other staff in the viewer were not working since it  still does not support portlet.
    Thanks a lot.

  • Transfering information between Oracle 8 and SQL Server 2000

    I want to transfer some of the data stored in 4 different tables in my Oracle database and easy as possible to my SQL Server 2000 database. I found the import option in SQL2k which uses ODBCconnection to the Oracle but it needs the migration suit as far as I know. At the downloadarea there are only plug-ins for SQL Server 7 but not 2000.
    Am I even on the right track or is there any other way of accomplishing this?

    is there any known problem if I install Oracle 10g EE
    on the same machine where Sql Server 2000 EE is
    install?It's presently undocumented, but some of the ORACLE.EXE process threads are known to get stuck in an infinite loop whenever a SQL Server database is running on the same box. The infinite loops cause the SQL Server database to eventually shutdown, and then the loops are broken and Oracle returns to normal. Stack traces have revealed something like this, which would suggest that the Oracle process is actually communicating with SQL Server:
    Oracle:  laughAtGirlieDatabase()  /* infinite loop */
    SQL:     exit();-)

  • Jtds and SQL server 2000(Personal Edition) problem

    My application need to work in standalone mode without being connected to the network.
    I've installed SQL Server 2000(Personal Edition) on Windows XP platform. I've Tomat 4.1 installed on the same machine. My applciation based on jsps and servlets runs on the same machine.
    I'm using the jtds driver and I use the following code to connect to SQL Server.
    Class.forName("net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver");
    String str="jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://127.0.0.1/GH;tds=8.0;namedpipe=true;lastupdatecount=true";
    It works fine as long as the machine is connected to the network. Once it is unplugged, it gives me the error "ArrayIndexOutofBounds Exception-1".
    But my application needs to be run on a machine where there is no network at all. In the above string I tried to change 127.0.0.1 by computer name and removed namedpipe parameter.
    str="jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://mypctds=8.0;lastupdatecount=true";
    But it gives the same error. Any idea on this?

    Infact SQl server is not listening to 1433 port. When I telnet localhost 1433, it is not connecting. I checked up Server N/w utility and Client N/w utility, both TCP and Named Pipe are enabled. Only if I include namedPipe=true, it works and it requires network connection to be present.
    Under Server network utility, if I choose named pipe, the default value shows \\.\pipe\sql\query. I tried to remove \\ so that it doesn't take the network path. But it doesnot work. ANy help?

  • ODBC errors for Oracle Migration Workbench and SQL Server 2000 on Windows

    Hi all-
    I setup a new ODBC connection for the Oracle 10g Migration Workbench to MS SQL Server 2000 on Windows XP and keep getting the following errors when I try to
    either test the new ODBC connection to MS SQL Server 2000 for use with the Oracle Migration Workbench tool. Goal is to fix these errors so that I can migrate our test SQL Server 2000 databases to Oracle 10g.
    Current configuration
    - Oracle 10.1 Migration Workbench
    - Oracle 10g Database (target)
    - MS SQL Server 2000 (source database)
    -Windows XP
    -ODBC 3.85.1117 driver for Windows XP with SQL Server and Oracle
    Errors:
    I. When I test the ODBC connection:
    Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver Version 03.85.1117
    Running connectivity tests...
    Attempting connection
    [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]Specified SQL server not found.
    TESTS FAILED!
    Now here is what has me totally confused:
    I can use the command line ISQL to access the database on the server and IP is all correct and port is available. So I can access the SQL Server database fine it is when I try to setup ODBC that it gives me problems.
    Any tips how to get this ODBC working?

    1. Jing Jin. If you had READ the post you would have seen that installing later versions is NOT an option.
    2. Not supported does NOT mean does NOT work, as Balmukund pointed out in the referenced thread.  The site that this databases supports is using ASP which is also NOT supported by Microsoft.  As it turns out Balmukund's solution actually turns
    out to be the correct solution.  I installed SS2K and its Service pack 4 on the machine last night.  Good answer Balmukund. as we say in the Navy, "BRAVO ZULU!!"  which means "WELL DONE!!
    3. Tom Li I just posted the question less than 48 hours ago.  My last post was less than 24 hours ago.  I think I have the right to be given the opportunity to determine whether a reply is the answer or not. I understand you don't like unanswered
    posts sitting around for weeks, months or years. (I don't like it either as I have a few that are still unanswered after several years.)  But you should not be showing replies as answers before I even get a chance to see them, much less try them out. 
    You should also not be showing replies as answers which don't address the criteria of the question.  I specifically stated that I had to install SS2K.  I went on to state, "And before anyone asks I need to install this version because that is what
    the customer is using and I need to duplicate their databases."  So the correct answer, if in fact SS2K did not work on Windows 7, would have been a virtual machine answer, as suggested on the thread Balmukund referenced.  So before you mark a reply
    as an answer read the question.
