Accessing Dynamic Prompts information via CR 2008 (or earlier?) RAS API?

I am using the CR 2008 RAS API (but could also use an older API if needed) in Visual Studio 2008. I have both service packs installed.
Any idea how to access information about the settings for dynamic prompts in a report?
I can access the PromptField object with
dataDefController.ParameterFieldController.
GetPromptParameterFields(new PropertyBagClass());
but can't seem to find any options for its dynamic prompt settings (such as fields used to fill the default values, cascading prompt settings, etc.).

Hello, John;
From the Report Application Server .NET SDK Developer Guide:
NOTE: The ReportClientDocument object model does not currently support creating new prompt groups programmatically and saving them to the report. For more information about dynamic cascading parameters and creating prompt groups with the Crystal Reports Designer, see the Crystal Reports User's Guide.
There are no specific API designed for the dynamic cascading parameters - they are just parameters. As such the properties that make them special are not available.
You can get the parameter name and you may be able to determine from the list what would be related:
Country --> Region --> City would be, probably Date would not be.
Since they are created in the Crystal Report designer, the creator could store the information needed in File | Summary Info | Comments and it can be retrieved from the special field Report Comments or the SummaryInfoClass.Comments Property
That is the only suggestion I can think of at this time.
Both options can be achieved from the .NET RAS SDK and the Crystal Reports .NET SDK for version 2008.

(1) In your system there are 3 nodes. The first one is the web
client running a browser posting HTTP request to your web server.
Your web server is a server to the web client but also a client
to your Oracle database server. From the web client browser you
cannot communicate directly with the Oracle server directly
through JDBC. Your CGI scripts (you have not specified what web
scripting tool you are using) written in Java may communicate
with your Oracle database using the JDBC drivers available in
your $ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib/classes111.zip file.
(2) You do not need any JDBC-ODBC bridge to access Oracle
databases. You should use the Oracle JDBC drivers.

Error Publishing Dynamic Prompt to BOE XI Release 3 From Crystal 2008

I am getting the following error when trying to publish reports with dynamic prompts to "Failed to read data from report file <file name> Reason: failed to read parameter object". I found this error occurring in threads referring to previous versions of BOE and none of the solutions are an option to me: I cannot give the user any further rights, and I am unable to apply patches since they are for Crystal XI, rather than 2008. Is there a solution for this issue? I found a work around which is to save the report to another source (a shared drive, for example) and then loading it via the Central Management Console. However, once this is done, when any user attempts to view the report, the report continues to prompt for a username and password, despite having updated this in the Database Configuration and selecting "use same database logon as when report is run".
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Heather
I get the same behaviour in this case:
If my report uses a Stored procedure as the datasource AND i use an SQL sommand to create the LOV for dynamic parameter then each time i run the report in infoview it asks for db login info
I think it looks for this info to create the LOV
I created the same report with a table as the datasource and used the exact same command to create the LOV and was able to run the report without a request for db login info.
I also created the report with the SP but with no LOV, the parameter is set to static, and it runs without extra login
I have entered the db login info in CMC for each report before i tried running in infoview
What are your reports using as datasources?

HT1661 My mid-2009 MacBook Pro has just died via a painful (for me) hard drive failure. I backed up a good percentage of files recently but not enough to keep me happy. I need to access the dead drive on the MBP via a 2008 iMac. Best options?

My mid-2009 MacBook Pro has just died via a painful (for me) hard drive failure. I backed up a good percentage of files recently but not enough to keep me happy. I need to access the dead drive on the MBP via a 2008 iMac. Best options?
I have ordered a 800 firewire to 800 firewire cable and am hoping to use the target mode option to copy files from the MBP.
Is this possible?
Hope so!
Any advice and or help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Neil

Thanks Ogelthorpe.
Just bought an enclosure to try that also.
Hoping the MBP isn't really dead but just feigning death
Fingers crossed.

Modify Dynamic Prompt Values based on User Name

Hi,
I did some searching for this issue on the forum and could not quite find anyone with the same problem. If I missed something, please except my apologies in advance.
I have created a report within Crystal Reports 2008 with dynamic prompts. The report pulls possible values for the report directly from my database (MS SQL 2005). This works well.
I have deployed the report, with eclipse, under tomcat using the free JRC components provided by SAP.
This is a financial report which allows users to view the budget of a department. Each user will have one or many departments that they should have access to. Not everyone sees the same departmental information. I have a table that contains the user name of each individual and the department code they should have access to.
One of the dynamic parameters I have in the report now lists all department codes. Would it be possible to pass to the report a user name that would limit the listing within the department code parameter to only those departments the user name has access to (as specified in the security table I have setup for this)?
I need to do this within the JRC and not the Business Objects EDGE server. With this in mind, I do not believe I can use any of the RAS components of the JRC.
Thanks, in advance, for any advice or help you may be able to provide,
Dave

Moved to Java SDK forum where the JRC is answered.

How can FTP users access my NAS system via FTP client?

I recently purchased a 2 bay, 4TB Buffalo Link Station DUO in order to solve some FTP issues. I have about 50 users outside my LAN that need to connect drop files on my NAS, however nobody seems able to connect via FTP client. If they login using the Web Access Dynamic DNS address they can read and write via their web browser, but it's clunky and slow.
My NAS system has been given the IP adress of 192.168.1.254 which seem to me that it's a local IP adress, not a public/static IP. Do I need to manually assign an IP adress to my NAS system in order fot users to log into that specific IP and go directly to the shared folders on the NAS system?
Thanks in advance!

Your NAS is getting that IP because it is behind your Router, which is the normal way to use it and as it should be.
You can not ASSIGN a public IP you your NAS. Only your ISP can do that and usually that incures an extra cost for more than 1 Public IP address. Usually included with a Business account and most of the time only available with a Business account. ISP do not want home owners running FTP or Mail servers on a residential acounts.
As noted you have to forward the noraml FTP port, port 21, in your Router to the IP of the NAS. Since you already have that port forwarded to your Mac, which I have no idea why you did that, you have to either change that port forwarding to the NAS IP or make the FTP server on the NAS respond to some other port and forward that on the router to the IP of the NAS. The to access the NAS FTP server you have to enter the piblic IP address of your router followed with a :and port #. XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:22 or whatever port # you assign to the FTP server on the NAS.

Dynamic Prompt not returning all values it should

I am using Crystal Report 2008 CR Developer with service pack 3.1.
I have a report that has a SQL command statement.
Using just the SQL statement, I get all results correctly (all "Events" show up).
When I use the same report and create a dynamic prompt for the "Events", I get some of the values in the results, but not all of them.
Also, the Events that I do get back in my results change randomly (one time I get Court Trial, the next time I don't).
The u201CEventsu201D field is the 2nd Group in the report.
I also have a date time parameter in the report.
The only thing Iu2019ve found so far related to this is the Max Rowset issue.
I have used the registry fix to set the LOV value to 3000, even though there are only 1644 possible values for that particular field in the database. I changed it for all versions 11, 11.5 & 12.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV "MaxRowsetRecords"="3000"
My understanding of Dynamic Prompts is that each time the report is run, it first looks at all possible values in that field and return those as values to select in the prompt. For example, if there were 1644 values in the table, it would show 1644 values to select in the parameter to be used in the report. Is that regardless of group level or date parameter or if "Save Data with Report" is selected?
Any ideas on why my parameters are not pulling the correct list of values to select for use in the report?

Try connecting to the database directly rather than using a command object.
Or... purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly:

Has anyone Been Able to Successfully Access the WVC54GC Cam via DynDNS.

I have been working on getting this camera for over a week now trying to get it to be accessable on the internet via DynDNS service with no luck. I have also tried other Dynamic DNS service providers like NO-IP and had no luck as well.
I already have an account with DynDNS and do not want to use the Linksys Sololink service and pay another fee. I called Linksys support and they notified me that this camera is only accessable on the internet via the Sololink Service.
Is this true has anyone figured out a way to use this with another service provider.
Pls. let me know. I bought 8 of these camera strickly to be able to monitor my place of business via the internet. If can not get this darn camera to work with DynDNS I will return them all.
Thanks.

HI...
You can try the following steps.
The camera will definitely work with DynDNS. Follow the following steps.
Access the camera setup page. Click on the tab that says "Options".
The Alternate Port should be set to enable and specify the port number that you wish to use. Default Port number is 1024. Apply the changes that we have made.
Now on the router setup page forward the same port number for the camera IP address.
Now when you use the DynDNS domain name use it as http://DynDNSDomainname:1024 and this will lead you to the camera over the Web.
In case you are using eight different camera........use a different port number and also a different IP address for each of the camera and specify the same on the router.
You can also refer to the following link to setup DynDNS with the linksys camera.

Accessing audio CD information

Some months ago i've tried to implement a small Java application which can query the freedb.org database to request audio disc information like artist name, disk title and track titles of audio CDs.
After implementing the algorithm for computing the freedb key my efforts came to a sudden stop. i could not figure out how to access the necessary information from the audio cd to compute the key via Java. The only solution i figured out was to use platform dependend JNI...
My question is: Is it posible to request audio CD parameters via JMF?
The neccessary information is:
- number of tracks
- time in minutes, seconds and frames of each track

hi,
I'm not an expert in jmf, but if you wanna find the number of tracks, I think you can simply iterate through File.listRoots() with isWritable()==false and then use listRoots()[n].listFiles().length. Then create a Player for each tracks and use Player.getDuration() on them.
I don't know of any direct way to find cd drives.

Outlook (Outlook Web Access) to Prompt on Logon

I have a system that automaticly logs into Windows 2008 R2. I would set Outlook Web Access to prompt at logon. That way I can logon as a different user

Hi,
This seems to be something controlled in Exchange, and may occur if the Integrated Windows Authentication has been enabled:
1). Open IIS management console.
2). Right click the "Exchange" virtual directory and select properties.
3). Select Directory Security tab; click Edit of "Authentication and access control".
4). Please check whether the "Integrated Windows Authentication" was checked.
5). If so, please uncheck it
6). Restart IIS admin service.
If the steps above doesn't help in your scenario, kindly refer to Exchange Forum to get more specific assistance:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/home?category=exchangeserver
If you simply want to OWA to prompt for credentials every time trying to login, please make sure that client machine has the IE security setting that requires to prompt for username and password. Let's take Internet Explorer 11 for example, go to
Internet Options -> Content -> AutoComplete
-> Settings -> Uncheck or check the User names and passwords on forms as you need ->
OK.

Manage Access to Named Credentials via EMCLI

Hi Colleagues,
does anyone know how to manage access to Named Credentials via EMCLI or does anyone know if this function exist in EMCLI.
We want to configure the access via scripts, so that we can for example grant access for all database administrators to all named credentials.
I would be very pleased if anyone has a solution.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Sönke

Hi,
Use the verb grant_privs to grant a user access to a named credential.
For example:
emcli grant_privs -name=MARY -privilege="GET_CREDENTIAL;CRED_NAME=HOST-CREDS:CRED_OWNER=SCOTT"
..grants the user MARY view privileges on the credentials called HOST-CREDS owned by SCOTT.
View privileges will allow Mary to use the credentials but will not allow her to see sensitive information such as the password.
Check out the security doc for more information on named credentials
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/doc.121/e36415/sec_features.htm#CJAHBADG
Other privileges you can grant to credentials are FULL_CREDENTIAL and EDIT_CREDENTIAL.
Check out the EMCLI reference guide for more details on grant_privs verb:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/em.121/e17786/cli_verb_ref.htm#autoId186

Accessing an ASM Instance via OEM

Gaining access to an ASM-managed database instance via Enterprise manager is done in the same way as accessing a "normal" RDBMS database: http://<host>:<port>/em/
Is it also possible to access the ASM instance itself via the OEM? If so, what's the typical URL/port for access?
I have not seen this documented, and I wonder if it's possible to access the ASM instance via OEM after all, or can you view/manage ASM instance information only via SQL statements.
Thank you.
John

That makes perfect sense... nufortunately, I'm sitll confused. I just found a series of screen shots that explicitly say "Database Control", and the home page shows the "+asm" link I mentioned in my earlier post. What's more: these screen shots are directly from Oracle! Their "Oracle By Example" series has an entry called "Creating and Managing ASM Disk Groups", and the section called "Viewing Disk Groups" has a series of shots that clearly shows first an ASM-managed instance, and then the ASM instance itself, being directly managed by Database Control.
I wish someone from Oracle, or someone who has seen this in action, would chime in and let us know how it works!
Thanks.

Can't get read-only access to my switches via http

I set up a couple of users for read-only access to our switches via their web browsers. I set this up in Network Assistant. However when we try to log in, only a level 15 user is allowed to log in and there doesn't seem to be any way change this.
I know in Network Assistant, you can choose which user level you want, but I don't see any way to do it via the web interface.
What am I missing here?

Implementing security within a switching environment is less intuitive than in a router. Switches, by design, tend to recognize only two levels of administrative access - user exec mode or privileged exec mode. Implementation of security at different access levels, level 15, etc, can be tricky and should be done at the command prompt, not in the GUI.
You should reset your config and do not use Network Assistant for this purpose; it is "buggy."
