Blank Image when using a gif image from a SQL Server Database

Post Author: scsmith
CA Forum: Publishing
Hello,
I'm trying to use a field from a SQL Server DB that has embedded GIF files. In Crystal Reports when I add the field to the report the picture is blank for every row. Any ideas?

i'm having the same issue. 
I believe crystal doesn't support gif datatypes.
I'm trying to either convert the images, or find a work around in crystal, but haven't found anything.

  • JAVA, sqlserver - Need to load an image from the sql server database

    hi,
    I need to load an image from the sql server database using java. I have connected to the database and getting all other records except the records for a photo (datatype = LONGVARBINARY) and Remarks (datatype = LONGVARCHAR).
    I am using java and sql server db. The photo and remarks are stored in the db. and i need to show the image and the remarks fetching them from there.
    I get the error :
    Thread-9 org.hibernate.MappingException: No Dialect mapping for JDBC type: -1
    How can I achieve this?
    Thanks,
    Gargi

    Exactly. And are you using MySQL?
    No. You are using Microsoft SQL server if I have to believe your initial post. A quick google tells me that the dialect class to use is:
    org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect

  • Creating multiple graphs dashboard in Crystal XI using a single View from MS SQL Server 2005

    How to create multiple graphs dashboard in Crystal XI using a single View from MS SQL Server 2005?
    I need to use Crystal XI and create a dashboard which shows some sales data and stuff, multiple graphs on a single screen.
    My tech team says they can display one graph per page but not 4 graphs on the same page as it uses a common view from SQL Server 2005.
    How to manage this? Can we call in multiple views / graphs in the same page? Say 4 graphs on the same page?
    We use ASP or .NET for calling crystal reports into the App.

    Have you tried creating multiple sections, putting each graph in a separate section and then underlaying the sections so they appear next to each other?

  • Error rsItemNotFound when using ReportingService2010 endpoint in SharePoint Mode (SQL Server 2012 & SP2013)

    Hi all,
    I installed SQL Server 2012 in SharePoint Mode, with SharePoint 2013 on a Windows Server 2012 virtual machine. The issue occurs when I try to use the ListChildren operation of the ReportService2010 endpoint.
    It manages to connect to the server, but it refuses to list any children. Here's the code I'm using:
    using System;
    using System.Net;
    internal class Test
    public static void Main()
    var rs = new ReportingService2010
    Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password", "machine")
    CatalogItem[] items = null;
    // Retrieve a list of all items from the report server database.
    try
    items = rs.ListChildren("/", true);
    catch (Exception e)
    Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
    When executed, this code throws an exception (which is caught and displayed) : "The item '/' cannot be found. (rsItemNotFound)"
    The same code works (i.e. does not throw any exception and the items variable contains some CatalogItem) when used against a SQL Server 2012 configured in native mode.
    I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, maybe the first parameter shouldn't be "/" but something else?
    Thanks for your help

    I'm getting this error as well.  My test software is connecting to two different servers; one is running on SharePoint 2010 and I have no problems using the ReportingService2010 functions on that, but I am getting this same error when trying to connect
    to a service on SharePoint 2013.

  • Extracting data of data type 'real' from the sql server database

    Hi,
    In my job, my source is a sql server database.
    I am connecting to the source sql server database using ODBC (sqlserver driver) in the datastore.
    In one of my source tables i have a field of data type real.If one of the value is 3.45678 , data services brings it in as 3.456780, which is OK, but if the real value is 4.7 in source, data services brings it  as 4.699997. I want it to be brought in as 4.700000 and not as 4.699997(i.e it is expanding upto 6 digits after the decimal point).
    Is this a default behavior of how data services reads the 'real' data types or is it because of how the ODBC sql server driver reads the data ?
    Is the above problem connected to an option in the DS.config file called
    LAZY_DECIMAL_CONVERSION which is set as true in our file.Should i set as false and will it solve this problem?
    Thanks in Advance.

    I tried reproducing your case, I read a value with real datatype from sql server DB. For me the values are coming fine, 4.7 is read as 4.700000 or 4.528 as 4.528000. I have also checked the value of LAZY_DECIMAL_CONVERSION, it is true. So I dont think it is a problem with that being set to true. Try something out with the Column properties in Query transform.
    I am using DS 3.2/ SQLSERVER 2008.

  • How can I Use a Stored Procedure from Microsoft SQL Server?

    Hi All,
    Would like to use stored procedure as my data service in Visual Composer.
    Our version is VC7.0 SP20.
    Is stored procedure feasible? What is the system that i need to create  in Enterprise Portal? Currently i have BI JDBC System which only allows me to search for tables from SQL Server.
    Much appreciate your help.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sarah

    Hi Skif,
    Referring to my post: JDBC System Connection VS BI JDBC System Connection
    I do not even able to view list of stored procedure. I need help too..maybe you can show me how do you set the connection? What are the mandatory connection properties? I have filled up:
    - Connection URL
    - Driver class name
    - User Administration: User, Admin (I did user mapping too)
    The error message that i got is:
    com.sap.guimachine.portalconnector.commandhandler.CommandException: Failed to connect to backend system. Check your system definition and user privileges.#
    I had assigned full control to the DB user, and map my portal user to that DB user.
    Many Thanks,
    Sarah

  • Using Oracle Heterogenous services to access sql server database table

    I have created a dblink 'POC_HS' from oracle to sql (implemented heterogeneous services) and I am able to successfully pull out data from the default database that the DSN(for sql server) is connected to.
    So this 'select * from Test@POC_HS' is working perfectly fine on the Oracle database as 'Test' table resides in the default database (which the System DSN is connected to).
    But when I do 'select * Abc.Test@POC_HS' where Test table resides in 'ABC' database which is not the default database throws an error as follows:
    ORA-00942: table or view does not exist [Generic Connectivity Using ODBC][Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Invalid object name 'Abc.Test'.[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Statement(s) could not be prepared. (SQL State: S0002; SQL Code: 208)
    I have also tried this 'select * from Abc.dbo.Test@POC_HS' but oracle throws this exception "ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended".
    The dblink user and System DSN account has access to the 'Abc' database.
    Thoughts?

    Thanks for the info.
    But suppose if we have DB link 'POC_HS' where POC_HS is a DBlink between oracle servers, I can do the following -
    1. select * Abc.Test@POC_HS
    2. select * Def.Test@POC_HS
    where Abc,Def are the schemas which the Dblink user has access to. I can execute the above perfectly fine.
    I wanted the achieve the same functionality from Oracle to Sql where database keep on changing dynamically . So according to you that's not possible right?
    We will have to keep on changing the ODBC connection to a different database or create a new odbc/listener/tnsentry each time query uses a different database right?

  • Errors when using the Call statement for MS SQL Server

    I've tried executing a Stored Procedure using the Call method of Portal 2 Go. But it gets an internal error b/c of it. Any Ideas why and how to resolve?

    Hello,
    Which version of SAP BOBJ XI3.1 you are using?
    What I am aware is BEGIN_SQL was very well working for SQLServer2005 in case of ODBC connection.
    Can you try one thing for SQLServer2008 have a Native driver installed on your client machine and use ODBC connection rather than OLEDB connection.
    If that works fine, its good
    Otherwise you can raise a message for resolving this problem with the support team.

  • I need to add a new report to the application that is done using visual studio and SSRS and SQL Server 2008

    I have an application that is done using SSRS on visual studio and it connects to the report server on SQL server 2008 environment.
    I've been changing the existing reports using visual studio 2008 and modifying the reports on the report server. How do I add a new report to the application ? I created a new report and deployed it on the report server but it didn't show up in the application.
    I can access the application source code on visual studio 2010 and TFS (Team Foundation). Thanks. 

    Hi,
    I have a question. This application retrieves SSRS reports from the report sever. When I download the reports
    from the SQL Server I can open them in visual studio 2008 but they don't open in visual studio 2010. I can access the application files on visual studio 2010 and team foundation server 2010. I was unable to open team foundation server 2008 on visual studio
    2008. The issue is that I am unable to add a report with a new name to the application. I use visual studio 2008 to deploy the reports on the report server but it has to be the same name to be able to run the report from the application. I can deploy any report
    on the report server but I can't access it from the application unless it has to be the same name as the present reports. If I keep the report the same name then it will replace the old report and the new report will run from the application. But only if it's
     the same name. I guess when I add a new report to the application with a new name I am supposed to add a definition in the application C sharp files  on visual studio 2010 so that the new report will show in the application. What's your opinion
    ? I have attached 2 images of the application and team foundation server 2010 and the report server.
    Thanks. 

  • How can I  connect to SQL server database thru local network by using JSP?

    I'm currently doing a project by using JSP..And I need to display record from the SQL Server database in our school's local network. May I know how can I do that? How can I write the code so that I can able to access the SQL Server databsase Throught school's network by using JSP? Please tell me step by step how can I do that. I'm using Tomcat 4.1 as Web Server. And I had J2SE and J2EE installed in my computer.

    first you have to establish a ODBC DSN on your computer,
    that connects to the database...you can do that from your control pannel.
    i assume that the TOMCAT server is residing on your computer....(if the webserver is in other computer then you would have to create a System DSN on the data sources ODBC option in the settings>control pannel of that machine)
    then you can use that DSN name to connect to the data base from the class file....for further assistance on how to create the class that access the tutorials in sun site.

  • Error message when trying to connect to a SQL Server Database

    All:
    I get the following message when I try to connect to a SQL Server Database within a form:
    "Connection for Source DataConnection failed because the environment is not trusted"
    Can anyone help me solve this problem?
    Thanks,
    BR

    Hi Brian,
    In Acrobat, security concerns dictate that you cannot specify an ODBC connection string by using the Driver=; syntax. Therefore, the client computer using the form needs to have a DSN pre-configured for ODBC connections.

  • How stop PS6 from removing the DPI value from an image when using "save for the web"?

    How stop PS6 from removing the DPI-value from an image when using "save for the web"?
    Example:
    - Open a tif image, that contains a dpi value (resolution).
    - Use the splice tool in PS6.
    - Export the slices with "Save for web", as gif-files.
    Then the dpi value is removed, the gif files has no dpi value (it's empty).
    How can we stop PS6 from removing the dpi value when using "save for web"?
    OR:
    When using the slice tool, how can we save the sliced pieces without PS removing the dpi value?

    you can make your art go a little bit over the bounds. or you can make sure your artboart and art edges align to pixels

  • Reporting Services will not automatically use a different replica for the report server databases when a failover occurs. How to overcome this issue

    Reporting Services offers limited support for using AlwaysOn Availability Groups with report server databases. The report server databases can be configured in AG to be part of a replica; however Reporting Services will not automatically use a different
    replica for the report server databases when a failover occurs. How to overcome this issue? is there any workaround for that..
    Rahul

    Hi.
    With the AlwaysOn listener you should have a single DNS name to connect to regardless of which cluster node is active. Are you using the listener service? If not, please refer to the link below.
