Can we enable Database Name box while scheduling report

Hi, I am boxi administrator and I am working on a unique client requirement. I don't know if it needs to be in administration forum or crystal reports.   we are using crystal reports  and  We are on boxi R2 SP3 on IIS.
We have 8 DB servers for load balancing ( look www.intersystems.com for details of how). We want to publish report in BOXI and user will then schedule report. We don't want multiple copies as it will be difficult to maintain at several places. So please rule out the possibility of  8 copies of same Crystal report connected to each 8 DB servers.
When user schedules report then we want to load balance the DB servers i.e. we have defined 8 ODBC connections on each application servers and want to use all ODBC ( DB) for each report. When we schedule reports then I see server name and Database name is disabled in Database logon properties.
Please let me know if this  is possible. We will be using standard infoview to schedule reports.
Thanks,

This is not feasible. I figured out one option that is using Virtual IP with Load balancer. We can load balance ODBC using this. This is tested in another project of state govt.
Thanks,

  • Error while scheduling report for SAP users

    Hi All,
    We have SAP authentication enabled in our BO environment. (BO XI 3.1 sp2 FP 2.6 on windows 2003 server).
    There are some webi reports based on BW Bex queries that we are trying to run on behalf of certain SAP end users. This we are doing using "schedule for" option.
    Now what is happening here is if the end user has logged in once in BO system ,it runs fine. But in case user has not logged in to BO (using infoview etc.) ,it throws error saying "incomplete logon data" . Also if user changes or reset his password in BW and if he doesn't login to infoview after that ,system throws another error "Name or password incorrect (repeat logon)".
    Based on these observation, we are suspecting if BO system uses stored SAP users credentials while scheduling report for them based on their last login.
    Would like to mention here that we have checked option "automatically import users".
    Please advice if this behavior is normal or we are missing some setting.
    Thanks in advance,
    Chandra

    Hi All,
    Any pointers or suggestions for this issue ??
    Is there a setting/option avialable in CMC which could resolve these errors.
    Or, user has to login once to infoview in all circumstances to avoid these errors.
    Thanks,
    Chandra

    Hello Zhang,
    You have to create the calendar in the CMC then use it when scheduling.

  • Can CDC enabled database DIFF backups be RESTORED while maintaining the CDC integrity?

    We tried restoring FULL + subsequent DIFF backups of a CDC enabled database to a different SQL server and found that the CDC integrity is not being maintained. We did RESTORE the databases with the KEEP_CDC option.
    Can someone please guide us on how to successfully restore the CDC enabled database backups(FULL + DIFF) while maintaining the CDC integrity?
    Note: SQL Server Version: SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU2

    Hi YoungBreeze,
    Based on your description, I make a test on my computer.
    Firstly, I create a database named ‘sqldbpool’ , then enable the
    Change Data Capture (CDC) feature and take full+ differential backups of the database. Below are the scripts I used.
    -- Create database sqldbpool
    CREATE DATABASE [sqldbpool] ON PRIMARY
    ( NAME = N'SQLDBPool', FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\SQLDBPool.mdf' , SIZE = 5120KB ,
    MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED, FILEGROWTH = 1024KB )
    LOG ON
    ( NAME = N'SQLDBPool_log', FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\SQLDBPool_log.LDF' , SIZE = 3840KB ,
    MAXSIZE = 2048GB , FILEGROWTH = 10%)
    GO
    use sqldbpool;
    go
    -- creating table
    create table Customer
    custID int constraint PK_Employee primary key Identity(1,1)
    ,custName varchar(20)
    --Enabling CDC on SQLDBPool database
    USE SQLDBPool
    GO
    EXEC sys.sp_cdc_enable_db
    --Enabling CDC on Customer table
    USE SQLDBPool
    GO
    EXEC sys.sp_cdc_enable_table
    @source_schema = N'dbo',
    @source_name = N'Customer',
    @role_name = NULL
    GO
    --Inserting values in customer table
    insert into Customer values('jugal'),('shah')
    -- Querying CDC table to get the changes
    select * from cdc.dbo_customer_CT
    --Taking full database backup
    backup database sqldbpool to disk = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Backup\sqldbpool.bak'
    insert into Customer values('111'),('222')
    -- Querying CDC table to get the changes
    select * from cdc.dbo_customer_CT
    --Taking differential database backup
    BACKUP DATABASE sqldbpool TO DISK = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Backup\sqldbpooldif.bak' WITH DIFFERENTIAL
    GO
    Secondly, I restore the ‘sqldbpool’ database  in a different SQL Server instance with the following scripts. After the restoration, everything works as expected and the database maintains the CDC integrity.
    Use master
    Go
    --restore full database backup
    restore database sqldbpool from disk = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Backup\sqldbpool.bak' with keep_cdc
    Restore Database sqldbpool From Disk = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Backup\sqldbpool.bak'
    With Move 'SQLDBPool' To 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\SQLDBPool.mdf',
    Move 'SQLDBPool_log' To 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\SQLDBPool_log.LDF',
    Replace,
    NoRecovery;
    Go
    --restore differential database backup
    restore database sqldbpool from disk = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Backup\sqldbpooldif.bak' with keep_cdc
    --add the Capture and Cleanup jobs
    Use sqldbpool
    exec sys.sp_cdc_add_job 'capture'
    GO
    exec sys.sp_cdc_add_job 'cleanup'
    GO
    insert into Customer values('TEST'),('TEST1')
    -- Querying CDC table to get the changes
    select * from cdc.dbo_customer_CT
    When we restore a CDC enabled database, we need to note that the CDC feature is available only on the Enterprise, Developer, and Evaluation editions of SQL Server. And we need to add the Capture and Cleanup agent jobs after restoring the database.
    For more details about restoring a CDC enabled database in SQL Server, you can review the following similar articles.

  • Setting Date value in File Name while scheduling report to File System

    I am trying to set the file name as %SI_Name% Current Date.extension in Destination section while scheduling a crystal report to File system.
    So in Use Specific Name section i have added %SI_NAME% %SI_STARTTIME%.%EXT%.
    Schedule works fine for me and I get the document in the file location with name  'Title 2009-06-26-12-53-17.pdf".
    But I dont want time to be printed in the title, so the title should be "Title 2009-06-26.pdf". How i can achieve this.

  • Can a default database name be configured for each individual environment?

    Hi All
    We have an application developed in Forms 10G. The application Login page has 3 fields, one for Username, Password & Database Name. We want to pre fill the database name field with a value (e.g. TEST1) which cannot be changed by the user. In previous versions of the application developed in Forms 6i we were able to do this using a Registry Entry on the Windows Client PC. We are now running the new application on Oracle 10G Forms & Reports hosted on a Solaris 10 Server.
    Can anyone tell me if this is possible to configure and if so how and where it needs to be configured in the application server? Or, if not if it can only be done progammatically in the login form.
    Many thanks
    Deanmun

    - in the config section of your application in formsweb.cfg add : userid=@dbname
    - in the login-form in WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE-Trigger access the Database name with
    v_ connect_string := GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(connect_string);
    Put this value into your block/field ...

  • How can i define database name in oracle ADI

    Hai Friends,
    I am facing a problem when i am going to define database name in oracle ADI there is a error u can enter minimum 6 char database name but my database name is PROD it is only 4 char long. how can i define can i will change the database name. Please suggest me.
    If u have any query regarding oracle apps plse discuss with me.
    Many thanks
    Ghanshyam khetan

    Database is used internally by ADI and does not have any relationship to the name of your database.
    Using ADI I am able to create a database with the following:
    Name - My Wacky Database
    GWYUID and FNDNAM as usual
    Connect String - VIS
    I'm able to signon and work successfully with that definition. The connect string is more important in this scenario as that tells the networking layer which database to actually talk to. As you can see here mine is only three characters.

  • "database logon" option for schedule report

    When scheduling a report,
    Crystal report has the "database logon" option in "shcedule" property page.
    But I can't find the "database logon" option for webi report or deski report.
    Is this by design.

    Hi Tina,
    We do not have data base logon option while scheduling the report.
    I am not sure what is the significance of it in Crystal but in Webi or deski report we do not need it. We have connections for every universe/report and that has these database log on credential in it. Based on it reports get refresh and run.
    Thanks

  • Enable Notification for any users scheduling reports

    Hi all!
    How can I enable the "Notification" option for any user allowed to schedule a report within BOXI R 3.1 FP 1.7.

  • How to modify 'Specified File Name' of a scheduled report

    I run a daily scheduled report every morning and send it out as an emailed attachment. My problem is, I want the file name of the pdf attachment to include the previous day's date. How can I modify the 'Specified File Name' setting in the destination tab to reflect the previous day's date. I do not want to use %SI_STARTTIME% because that only shows the date&time that the report was actually run....I need the previous date. So far I am unsuccessful.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    i think this is only possible via the SDK. I would recommend creating a Support Message with SAP to solve this issue.
    Maybe there is already Samplecode available from the Support.

    Morning Simon,
    The source doesn't seem to be showing any error message or explaining anything however the error FWM 02050 might say something. Have you searched the Wiki or Articles about this?
    Personally I have not seen this type of error before however it seems that either the source or the layout of the report gets changed and hence it errors out as it does not match with the source.
    For example, in the report maybe there is a dynamic parameter which gets changed occasionally or any other report object which has a source linked gets changed.
    Does this happen only with one report or all the reports?
    Does anyone change the reports?
    How many dynamic or static params are there in the report?
    How is the report connected (odbc or any other means?)
    Does the server react like this with other reports as well?
    Here is the list for error message from BO you might it find handy
    [help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_error_message_guide_en.pdf]
    I think we need to investigate first where the problem is generating from and then find out about this error.
    Regards
    Jehanzeb
    Edited by: Jehanzeb Navid on Oct 15, 2008 8:48 AM
    Here what error given above says
    The object with ID , Title "", Kind "" has changed since last query
    (FWM 02050)
    Cause
    The required object has changed since the last query.
    Action
    Query the InfoObject again.
    Maybe the end user is not query the report properly?

  • How can I get a Listing of all scheduled reports from Crystal Server 9?

    Hello,
    Can anyone help?
    A colleague and I are trying to find out when we can schedule a server reboot (Crystal Reports 9). We can look at individual jobs but we don't seem to be able to find a list of all the jobs and when they occur.
    We need to do this as we would like to schedule a regular server reboot without interrupting jobs.
    As you may be able to tell, my colleague and I have little Crystal knowledge, but we have found our selves looking after this server.
    Thanks in advance.
    Edited by: Paul Hopkins on Nov 24, 2008 2:26 PM

    Hi Paul,
    Thanks for your response.
    Do you remember what kind of installation process you have followed while installing your crystal enterprise.
    It will prompt for client installation and server installation.
    If you have installed client products then you wont have instance manager in your list of products.
    Else  if you don't have instance manager in crystal server 9, then for buying the product you should contact your accounts manager.
    He can reach the CIC people through your company and based on your license agreements you can the product.
    Just let me know if you have any queries.
    Regards,
    Naveen.

  • Customisation of Date format while Scheduling reports

    Hello,
    While I am scheduling a report,in reccurance-Dateformat-RunObject and option is Hourly,
    the StartDate/Time format needs to change from 07 - 20 -AM 06/07/2009 to 06/Jul/2009 07-20- AM or equivalent time format.
    Is there any options to customise the time format like above while schedling the report.
    Thanks

    If you are scheduling from CMC or Infoview then you won't be able to customize it. If you are scheduleing from a custom application then you can build a screen whoch shows a date format in desired way so that the end user can select start and end time.

  • Can we change file name in the excel report bursting in infoview

    I have created a publication with email destination and excel format in infoview. By default there are some place holders which can be used to give report name during bursting process but I want to customize report name like I want to append state variable value in the report name so that each recipient should get report which has reportname_state.xls.
    Did anyone came across this situation. Please help me.

    You cannot change thats placeholders you must use them or use a fixed name...
    IYou must try in the body of the email theres some other additional plaeholders that maybe you can use in this case.

  • How can I place a "List box" on a report?

    XI31 SP3
    Similar to input controls,  however, I want to be able to show a webi report as a dashboard within infoview (dashboard tab),  but I need a "list/combo" box for user interaction.
    Is there a way to do this?

    Hi Michael,
    Left panel input controls cannot yet be inserted into WebI report, but WebI allow to use report elements as input controls.
    You can therefore insert a table in your report, and use it as a selection list : you just need to insert and design a vertical or horizontal table from a single dimension, and use it as an input control : select the table and start report element input control wizard from the contextual menu command called Define as input control....
    BTW, You can also use this feature on charts.
    Hope that helps,
    David.
