Changing CRXI Report Datasource in VS2005/2008

I am building a Windows application in VS2005 that contains several reports. Reports all use various tables from the same Access.mdb. How can I programmically change the report datasource location at runtime?

Hi John,
Since this involves Visual Studio, I would suggest you to please post this forum in our .net Developement thread. Click on the following link to navigate there SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio
Hope this helps.

  • Reports Migration from TFS 2008 to TFS 2013.

    Hi There,
    We wanted to migrating reports(integrated with TFS 2008) to new report server(integrated with TFS 2013) using RDL pull and push method using rs.exe tool. later planning to rebuild Tfs_Warehouse and Tfs_Analysis. Below are my queries:
     If i migrate the reports using pull and push method will those report.rdl files still work with TFS2013 re-built data or
    Should i upgrade the entire ReportServerDB? If so, does report.rdl files under go any changes during upgrade?
    please guide me if my understanding is wrong and suggest me what should be taken care if i follow pull and push method.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi Manoj C N,
    If you can migrate your report server database, it would be better to migrate the Reporting service databases to new report server since the data will not be changed.
    About the existing reports, please elaborate more details and the result after taking the methods. But for moving reports, you can also download the existing reports and upload to the new report server. Refer to the link below for more information:

  • Report created in SSRS 2008 is not able to upload in 2008 report server

    I have created a report in SSRS 2008 version. Our reporting server is 2008 R2. I'm getting the error given below while uploading the .rdl file to report server. 
    The report definition is not valid. Details: The report definition has an invalid target namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2010/01/reportdefinition' which cannot be upgraded. 
    Then I've checked the code of the solution and it is created in 2008. It is given below:
    " Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 10.00 # Visual Studio 2008 ........."
    Also, I've checked the code of .rdl file but that made me confused. It shows that the file is created in 2010.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <Report xmlns:rd="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQLServer/reporting/reportdesigner" xmlns:cl="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2010/01/componentdefinition" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2010/01/reportdefinition"> 
    Visual studio 2010 is also installed in my system. Also, I have noticed that even if we try to open a report then by default it is showing data tools option.I have tried multiple times to create report in 2008. But, still the same result. Also, I could find
    that ,the report will be in 2008 till the creation of data source. The report will be converted to 2010 after creating data set. I have been creating shared dataset and I was getting the above issue.Then I have tried by not creating a shared dataset and
    directly creating dataset in the report data and it has been created as 2008 report. I was able to upload this report to report server 2008R2. 
    Can any of you help me to find why the report is created in 2010 while creating shared dataset?

    I have created a report in SSRS 2008 version. Our reporting server is 2008 R2. .

    Hello Julie,
    You mix up Version of Visual Studio, Reporting Services and Report Definition; all those products have Independent Version numbers and are not related to each other.
    Important are the Versions of used SSRS and BIDS, the plugin for Visual Studio. By the Version of Report Definiton you have create a Report with BIDS 2008R2 or SSDT = SQL Server Data Tools; see
    http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2010/01/reportdefinition/
    Are you sure you have SSRS 2008 R2 (in post subject you wrote SSRS
    2008)? If it's SSRS 2008 then you really can't deploy the Report to SSRS, you would have to use BIDS 2008 to create the report. Check the Version of SSRS or use "Report Builder 2.0", you can start it directly from "Report Manager"
    URL.

  • Reports developed in SSRS 2008 r2 cannot be uploaded to SSRS 2008

    Reports developed in SSRS 2008 r2 cannot be uploaded to SSRS 2008
    ERROR ON REPORT MANAGER:
    The report definition is not valid. Details: The report definition has an invalid target namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2010/01/reportdefinition' which cannot be upgraded. (rsInvalidReportDefinition)
    I tried to upload a ssrs 2008 report made in r2 to 2008 it doesnt upload on report manager nor opens in bids 2008 .
    Above is the error I got .
    Is there any thing i need to do to make it work or we  just cant achieve this functionality?
    Mudassar

    Nope. I dont think you would be able to open a higher version report on a lower versions client tool as it is. However you can do this small workaround and make it work most times
    http://usmantjiudri.wordpress.com/2009/08/18/converting-ssrs-2008-r2-rdl-back-to-ssrs-2008-version/
    The inverse would always work fine as reports gets auto upgraded.

  • Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008 - dbf

    Hello,
    I use both Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 on same PC. I can not work with dbf files (format foxpro2x, dbase IV) in VS 2005 and VS 2008.
    Q1. Work Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008 with database files - dbf (version foxpro2x, dbaseIV)? I get error -
    Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer
    Failed to load database information
    or with dbf files work only Full version of Crystal Reports?
    Q2. How re-install Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008. In setup Add/Remove features not exist Crystal Reports check box. I only Repair/reinstall all Visual Studio but after reinstall same error
    Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer
    Failed to load database information
    3. When I can open sample project with Crystal Reports which use Crystal Reports (dbf file) this error is displayed:
    Crystal Report Viever
    Failed to load database information
    Details: The database DLL "crdb_p2bxbse.dlll" could not be loaded.
    4. I reinstal Crystal Report in Visual Studio 2005 - same error
    5. I apply hotfix Crystal Reports for .NET 2005 - SP 1 - same error
    Thank You
    Ludek

    Hi Ludek,
    1-For dbase file to work you need have permission on database files for IIS as well as user accessing the database.
    2-For re-install you need to insert the CD of visual studio setup then do custom install and then try to choose crystal reports for re-installing
    3-The old viewer might cause the problem. In this case can you try connecting to a blank dbase file.
    and for such issues we have a special forum [here|SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio;
    Thanks,

  • How to change a report in Manager's Desktop?

    Hi all,
    i want to change a report in the Manager's Desktop Compensation Management.
    Report name: Cost Center
    You can see it under this link: [www.starbulls-fotos.de/1.jpg]
    When i now run the report i can see the report, but with no selection screen. I only get a finished report with fixed selection parameters
    You can see it under this link: [www.starbulls-fotos.de/2.jpg]
    How can i change this selection parameters?
    In this example i want to change the "Cost Element Group" to an other value.
    When i run this report outside of the Manager's Desktop with the transaction code "S_ALR_87013611" i get the selection screen needed and can change the parameters.
    It would be great if anyone could help me!
    TIA!
    strobbel

    Hi Strobbel,
    Execute your report via the transaction.  Check the selection variants on that first selection screen.  You will see the default one that came up for you and others that may have been created to default for Managers' Desktop.  You can select the one that is appearing with the incorrect cost element group and change it to the correct one. Save the changed selection screen.  We also have a transaction ZZBCVARIANT that can be used to change the selection screen variants. 
    Also, remember, the manager in Managers' Desktop may be limited due to authorizations to see data from only certain cost centers (his own).

  • SSRS 2012: Report Header PrintOnFirstPage-problem after report migration from SSRS 2008

    Hi ,
    I developed my report using VS 2008 IDE and the report header property "PrintOnFirstPage" is set to False.
    The content of the header are some textboxes and lines that should show only on page number > 1.
    This works fine in VS 2008 IDE in preview mode as well as with reports rendered by SSRS 2008 report server.
    Recently I migrate&convert the same report to SSRS 2012 I noticed a different rendering behaviour of my report.
    So in VS 2010 preview mode, the page headers content (textboxe etc.)  is not visible on first page but the headers space did not colapse as it does in VS 2008 IDE preview mode.
    I checked all the report properties but unable to find a solution to my problem.
    I was able to reprduce the same behaviour by creating a new report using VS2010 IDE.
    Any ideas are greatly appreciated
    Thanks
    Bodo

    Hi BodoHH,
    I have tested on my local enviorment and can't reproduce the issue, the issue can be caused by many factors, it can be caused by the properties setting and can also caused by the visual studio, Detais information below for your reference:
    As you mentioned that you have check all the report properties, please also check the tablix,Page Header,report body properties to see if the size are the same with that in the SSRS2008.
    Please open this rdl report in the report builder to see if the print layout is correct, if it works fine, the issue can be caused by the visual studio.
    Please also try to upload the rdl report to report manager to check the layout.
    Please also provide the snaphot of the layout in VS2010 to let us better analysis about the issue.
    If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

  • Format change when report open in report expert

    Hi all,
    I am using report builder 6i and I create invoice report I have attached it with oracle ebs 11i and run it from
    concurrent manager. Now I have to open my invoice report into report expert software.
    when it opens into report experts, It change our report builder fonts and format both.
    suppose if item are 1 then invoice total depens upon number of items. so invoice total position is changed
    according to the number of items. If 1 items total move up and if more than 1 item total moves down.
    In this way my invoice format become changed and total did not maintain in same position.
    Thanks

    The Format is changed due to sizes of Repeating frames in the report layout as well as the fixed frames.
    you can use the border color of the frames to design the report layout.
    when your fixed frame is not in lined with the repeating frame objects and the anchor is not applied then the report output in PDF will not be disturbed
    while in the Excel format it will be as per the no. of fixed frames/objects in the first line will come in first A1 column of the Excel file ans next in the second and so on...

  • Unable to Change Main Report Page Orientation in Crystal 10

    Hi,
    My report has 8 sub reports and every sub report is placed in a report footer section. When I change the page orientation from portrait to landscape, no change in main report. but It does change the sub report paper orientation.
    Is it because of the sub reports?
    Any Ideas?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Jyothi

    Thanks for the reply.
    But I was changing whole report to landscape. When I select Default margins, Main report changed to Landscape, earlier adjust aumomatically option was selected in Page setup dialog.That solved my problem.

  • Question on changing the report template to display the images

    I am trying to change the report template so that each table cell will display an image and a checkbox for the image. The column templatet for the new report template is like this:
    <td #ALIGNMENT# headers="#COLUMN_HEADER#" class="t17data">
    <table>
    <tr height="90%"><td>
    <img src= "&F101_GET_THUMB.#COLUMN_VALUE#" onmouseover="return onmouseover_img('#COLUMN_VALUE#');">
    </td></tr>
    <tr height="10%"><td align="center" valign="bottom">
    <input type="checkbox" name="f01" value="#COLUMN_VALUE#"/>
    </td></tr>
    </table>
    </td>
    My questions are:
    1. If the #COLUMN_VALUE# is null, the table cell will display a broken image icon and a checkbox. How could I avoid this? I could add condition to this template, such as when #COLUMN_VALUE# is not null, but how to refer to the value of #COLUMN_VALUE# in pl/sql?
    2. I want to always put the checkbox at the center bottom, but no matter what I set "align='center' valign='bottom', it is always close to the image. Since the image sizes are different, the appearance of the checkbox are just up and down. How to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Fengting

    hello,
    at designtime the elements from the template are physically
    imported into the report. the only way of re-applying a template
    is to use the wizard, which will re-default the layout.
