Unable to see Oracle driver from Crystal Report's Database Expert

I have installed Oracle client (version 10g) on my laptop that also has Crystal Reports 2008 ver 1 SP3. I then installed data driver 5.3 (Datadirect ODBC database driver) but I canu2019t see the Oracle driver nor the Oracle wire protocol driver from crystal reportsu2019 database expert. I have checked the path and it correctly points to the oracle client (c:\orant\bin). I am running Windows 7 professional.
Kindly assist.

Hi Serah Muiruri
In Windows 7 64 bit ODBC Drivers 32-bit is stored under "C:\Windows\SysWOW64"

Hi,
Depends on datasource type but you could have a look at ODBC trace or if you have access to the SQL Server you could use profiler to monitor the session.

And this will only be of use if you know which Server/Insstance/Database the Report is connecting to...

Unable To See Network Drive from outside Home Network..even when using DynDNS

Hi
I have just got a Freecom Media storage Network Center which I have attached to my WRT150N router.
I am attemting to permit access to authorised users to files on the drive via the internet (presumably via ftp).
Here is what I have done:
Swiitched on DynDNS on the web admin page in the router (used DynDNS.com free service.
Obtained a user addess which is middle-earth.dyndns-home.com from DynDNS, which is linked to my Virgin Media IP
Switched on Port Range forwarding with
Ports 20-21 as ftp
Port 80 as http
Port 57 as DNS
Selected "both protocols"
Set the IP address to route to 192.168.1.42 - (this is the IP address which the web based software for the Network Drive reports as.
However the configuration of the TCP/IP protocol in PC attached by LAN cable to the router is "Obtain an IP address automatically" (i.e. dynamic?). If I change these settings and specify static IP addresses   will I not muck up internet connection to Virgin Media.
what I was hoping to acheive was typing     ftp:// middle-earth.dyndns-home.com
in the address bar would let me see the network drive from anywhere!
I have tried using DNS pinging on Ports 20, and 21 but that tells my ports are closed. i have also tried switching off my software firewall (Kaspersky) and the router firewall, but this does nothing.
What have I done wrong or no done!!
Thanks

I think the problem is solved.
The Freecom device needs to use a different part of its interface to be assigned a static IP address, which I have now done. At my last try it was visible from two independent views outside of my network.
On another front, I am appalled at Linksys or Cisco, who are not prepared to advice on getting more from their produicts if they are 'out of warranty'. The online chat tech said I could ring an 0871 premium line number in the UK. When I rang that, I was told as tthat as my unit is not faulty and was out of warranty I would have to use their pay per incident service.
That is not a way to deal with customers. When it comes to upgrading or replacing network equipment, I will look to a provider who is interested in their customers.

Unable to see English Text in Crystal Report

Hello Experts,
I have crystal report on top of ECC. I have one table which has G/L account and G/L Account description. I am using this fields as parameter, I am getting only German and other language except English language. I checked in ECC and I can see G/L account Description in English but not in my Report.
We are using BOXI3.1 and Crystal Reports 2008.
Can anybody help in this proble?
Thanks
Ravi

Ingo,
Let me explain you again, I have crystal report, where I have 4 tables linked. I have one table called SKAT table and I I have SPRAS field in that table which is language key, It will show you all the langauges available in that table.
SAP side, when I enter SPRAS as EN and excute, I see only english records for all G/L description. When I enter German in SPRAS fiels, it will show German G/L Account Description.
But In Crystal Report, I have created parameter for this SPRAS field, User will select which language they want to select.
Now the problem is when I create the Paramter on SPRAS field and I run the report, In the Parameter selection, I see D, C and 1 but I don't see EN.
If user want to see EN , how they can see?
I hope it is clear this time.
Thanks
Ravi

Unable to logon to Enterprise from Crystal Reports XI

I would like to upload a report I have produced to our CR Server for scheduling, when I logon I get the following error message:
Security plugin error: An error has occurred in the plugin, but the plugin is unable to return a detailed error message.
We have setup AD integration and single sign on and am able to access Infoview on my desktop without any issues, I can also access the CMC with my AD username and password OK on my PC.
Logon to the repository using my Enterprise credentials works OK.
Checked the services and Windows AD setup on the BO server and all looks OK.
Any ideas whats causig this error?
Thanks

Thanks for the tip, I found the following files on the server that were not on the PC:
smb.sys
smclib.sys
smcyscom.dll
smef.dll
smi2mir.exe
smierrsm.dll
smierrsy.dll
smimsgif.dll
These files were copied across to the PC /windows/system32 folder.
However the problem still persists, I have re-started PC but this has also not resolved the problem.
Many thanks for your assistance

Unable to connect to defined CMS from Crystal reports Enetrprise

Hi all,
I am using SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise XI 4.0 (SP2 Patch 6). We have 2 independent Intelligence & Processing Tiers installed with their own CMS services. However, temporarily we are using only 1 common WAS Netweaver 7.3 for both CMS (when we connect to CMC/BI Launch pad we juts type different CMS name). Both of them are on same patch level, etc.
My problem is that when I try to connect to BO Enterprise (BI 4.0) from Crystal reports, I am unable to specify to which CMS it has to connect - since it take the Server name and not the CMS name. It automatically connects me to only 1 of the CMS while there is no chance to connect to another (it might have somewhere recorded the CMS name). is there a chance to choose between those 2 CMS to which Crystal should connect?
Thanks!
Erik.

Erik,
You should specify the name of the server where BOE is installed. You can use the FQDN or even the IP address and the port name.
Regards,
Julian

How do I connect from Crystal Report version XI to Oracle 10G express?

I'm new to oracle 10G express and I'm developing an application that needs reports to preview some data from oracle tables.
The oracle database is installed on the server and I installed the client on my machine. I need to use the crystal report 11 to report the output. Thus, I designed a crystal report that should simply read a table on oracle and though I need to be able to connect to the oracle 10G Express Edition database. I tried to create a connection from the crystal report using the Database Expert >> Create New Connection >> Oracle Server and I include the following parameters.:
- Service: host:1521/XE
- Username: username
- Password: password
Then when I tried to connect the crystal report crashes always.
Is there any way to create a connection to the Oracle Database 10G express from Crystal Report 11?
Please advise...

Thank you bala,

How to configure the tnsnames.ora on the client side?
tnsnames.ora content:
XE =

Now I`m trying to initialize this on one machine (database & client) and so the crystal report will be on the same machine where the database exist; Additionally, this machine has OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and include the Oracle 10g Express Database & Oracle 10g Express Client software.
Please check the files content I included above and give me the way on how to establish a connection from the crystal report to the database where both are installed on the same machine.
Thanks in advance...

Can anyone let me know where is the problem?

Actually, the question boils down to; does the framework support the fonts?
I believe that my question re. this working in the designer was valid. The designer does not use the framework, so if it works there, it is either a framework issue or a runtime print engine issue.
I believe if you use the code below, it will list fonts available to the framework:
foreach(FontFamily ff in FontFamily.Families)
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ff.Name);
For more information see kbase [1198306 - Crystal Report displaying incorrect font in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_dev/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333133393338333333303336%7D.do]

Migrating from crystal report 8.5 to 10.0 giving error 01S00:error

migrating from crystal report 8.5 to 10.0 giving error
I am working in migrating my cr application to 10th ver from the existing 8.5 where we have to explicitly make a query in query builder and then attach it. I was using dsn in ms odbc for oracle driver to connect the DB. Now in 10.0 i have removed the query file created using 8.5 query builder and trying to write directly to command editor. the report as stand alone is working fine. but when i try to generate the pdf using my vb application then on .export option it is giving error as "Logon failed.
Details: 01S00:[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle]Invalid connection string attribute". i think the problem might be with cddb_oracle.dll or crdb_oracle.dll file as i am using a evaluation version of crystal report 10. as input to dsn i am providing
1.dsn
2.usid
3.database
4.password
what else is missing . plz help.....

Well, you can migrate, you can not upgrade (semantics I suppose). E.g.; the RDC was deprecated in CR XI r1 and retired in CR 2008. Thus there is no way for you to upgrade to version 12 of the RDC as there is no such thing. So, from here, you have two options: migrate / port the app to .NET, or Java SDKs.
Re. RDC, see my blog here:
/people/ludek.uher/blog/2008/10/20/report-designer-component--past-present-future
For porting the app to .NET, see this article:

Oracle 9 and Crystal Report

I want to run a crystal report against an oracle database procedure. I know that I will have to user REF CURSOR for that purpose. If I try to update a table within that procedure and use REF CURSOR and call the procedure from Crystal report it gives an error that you cannot update in this procedure. I just wonder if that is possible some how.
Basically I want to update a table after I run a Crystal Report but I can only call the crystal report from my application and do not want to run the update procedure seperately.
Thanks,

If the procedures work from SQL*Plus, then there can't be anything wrong with your databases. Also, Crystal should be able to run any procedure that will run from SQL*Plus, so that leaves the ODBC drivers to look at.
Look at the settings for the ODBC DSN. Is the stored procedure in the logged in user's schema, or in a different schema? The CR ODBC drivers default to looking only in the logged in user's schema. To use a stored procedure in someone else's schema, you must uncheck the "Use Current Schema for SQL Procedures" box.
If this is the case, be aware that when designing a new Crystal Report with that option unchecked, you may have to wait a very long time for the Database Expert to populate and display. Is there some reason that you can't use Crystal's native driver for Oracle. It does not have this problem.

XML Report completes with error due to REP-271504897: Unable to retrieve a string from the Report Builder message file.

We are in the middle of testing our R12 Upgrade. I am getting this error from the invoice XML-based report that we are using in R12. (based on log). Only for a specific invoice number that this error is appearing. The trace is not showing me anything. I don't know how to proceed on how to debug where the error is coming from and how to fix this. I found a patch 8339196 that shows exactly the same error number but however, I have to reproduce the error in another test instance before we apply the patch. I created exactly the same order and interface to AR and it doesnt generate an error. I even copied the order and interface to AR and it doesn't complete with error. It is only for this particular invoice that is having an issue and I need to get the root cause as to why. Please help. I appreciate what you all can contribute to identify and fix our issue. We have not faced this issue in R11i that we are maintaining right now for the same program which has been running for sometime. However, after the upgrade for this particular data that the user has created, it is throwing this error REP-271504897.

Hi,
Check on this note also : Purchasing Reports Fail When Changing Output To XML REP-0002 REP-271504897 REP-57054 (Doc ID 1452608.1)
If you cant reproduce the issue on other instance, apply the patch on the test instance and verify all the funcionality related to the patch works OK. Then move the patch to production. Or you can clone the prod environment to test the patch.

Can someone help me resolve the issue.

The .rpt file size is 14MB with the Data Save option enabled, 12MB without Data Save. Presumably the 12MB file size is because of the 24bit PNG we have as our background.
The Designer executes the report in less than a second and we can scroll through all pages and see the image fields perfectly.
When we Export to PDF, the Designer takes a long time, eventually gets to the 77%, the 7th record and returns "Export report failed" followed by "Memory full". If we export only page 1 of the 3 pages, it also returns a Memory full error. However, when the same report is run with only 1 page, that page exports to PDF but with a ridiculously large size and export time.
The machine has 2GB of physical memory with an 8GB pagefile with Windows 2003 (latest everything). The process runs up to about 1GB before reporting the memory full error.
We've also tried a variety of other suggestions posted in the other thread with no success.
We're happy to provide the RPT file to the Report Team to diagnose the problem. Ultimately, we need to be able to produce a 15 page report with approximately 45 images.
Our preferred scenario is fixing problem 2. The CR Designer seems quite capable of rendering our report and printing it to our third party PDF printer in a timely manner with small size. However, the API reports memory full.
The API resides in a dedicated reporting web service with NO other code except for loading the report, setting parameters and printing. When executing, it uses up to about 1.1GB before reporting the error.
Are there any other suggestions for fixing what we have? Are there known problems with large images in reports? Do we need to lodge a formal support request?

REP-0002: Unable to retrieve a string from the Report Builder message file;

Hi,
I've a custom report in which i need to display a large string, of more than 4000 characters. To cater to this requirement i've written a formula column which displays string upto 4k characters and for a string of size beyond 4k i am calling a procedure which uses a temp table having a clob field.
For a small string the report runs fine but whenever a large string requirement comes into the picture, said procedure gets triggered and i get REP-0002: Unable to retrieve a string from the Report Builder message file.
OPP log for the same gives an output as under:
Output type: PDF

Report Builder 10g
BI Publisher's version : 4.5.0
RDBMS Version : 10.2.0.4.0
Oracle Applications Version : 12.0.6
Searched for the same on metalink and found Article ID 862644.1, other than applying patch and upgrading version of BI Publisher is there any other workaround to display a comma seperated string as long as 60k characters, If any please suggest.
Thanks,
Bhoomika

Problem Description
When running a *.REP generated report file you get errors:
REP-00002 Unable to retrieve string from message file
REP-01439 Cannot compile program since this is a runtime report
Running the same report using the *.RDF file is successful.
You are running the report with a stored procedure,
OR you are running against an Oracle instance other than the one developed on,
Or, you recently upgraded your Oracle Server.
Solution Description
1) Check that the user running the report has execute permissions on any stored
SQL procedures called. <Note:1049458.6>
2) Run the report as an .RDF not an .REP , that is remove or rename the .REP
version of the report. <Note:1012546.7>
3) Compile the report against the same instance it is being run against.
