Connecting Visual Foxpro Tables and CR2008..

Hi..
I have a VFP ver 9 applicaiton that has multiple users. I set up a path using the following statements
CrRptpath = sys(2003) whcih give me the following ..
c:\docume1\jpower(user's Login ID)/locals1\temp -this directory contains the tables for the CR2008 reports
I was wondering how to setup the database location within CR2008 so that any user who logs into the application
will be pointing to there folder, not jpower, as it does now...
any help greatly appreciated...

Hello,
What component are you using in VFP? If it's RDC ( craxdrt.dll ) then it is no longer shipped as of CR 2008. In that case you'll have to manually open each report and set location for each user.
Thank you
Don

do the following steps for hetrogenous service
Step 1
Create ODBC named Access1.
Step 2
Go to urs inithsodbc.ora file which reside at
ORACLE_HOME\hs\admin\inithsodbc.ora
and overrite by
# This is a sample agent init file that contains the HS parameters that are
# needed for an ODBC Agent.
# HS init parameters
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = Access1
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = off
# Environment variables required for the non-Oracle system
#set <envvar>=<value>
Step 3
Add the following entry to the tnsnames.ora file:
ACCESS1.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=ACCESS1))
(HS=OK)

Applet connects to Visual FoxPro table

Dear All,
I have difficulties to connect my applet to a free table creatd with MS Visual FoxPro. I tried to use a third party driver, no success. Now I try to use jdbc:odbc to talk to it. I would like to read/write/update the table from the applet. Anybody has experience with such a case? jdbc:odbc supports? foxpro connections? or do I have to use other drivers?
Thanks alot

Hi,
Thanks, but I think I have another problem, or I just got lost. I try to fix this since 2 days, I wanna ship the stuff, no luck. I did signed the applet, imported the certificate, become trusted (I imported my self_signed cert - Am I able to access files on the system, or I need a proper cert?) then applet start, and here is the message --Error occured during connection access denied (java.io.FilePermission d:\own\javaprojects read)
Error occured during resultset creation null
I got lost, no more ideas, really, if you have some hints would be great to hear them
Have a great weekend

Crystal XI Reports and Visual Foxpro Tables

Post Author: Pamela Vincent
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I have installed XI and tried to add an ODBC connection for a database package written in Visual Foxpro 9.0
In online help there appears to be a Foxpro option in the connection info diagrams, but I don't get all of the choices when working through the process myself.
I had no problems connecting and using Crystal 8.5 previously so I'm at a loss as to why I can't get it to work.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Not just the runtime - where would you get it without breaking licensing? You have to have a valid copy of CR 2008 and install it. No worries about unistalling CR 10.5 - .NET 2008 will automatically use the latest files.
Re. Oracle support. That is correct. The crdb_oracle.dll does not ship with any versions of CR that bundle with .NET. You could go ODBC or OLE DB though.
Not sure what you mean;
Can the CRRuntime_12.x be bundle to VS 2008 just like the Basic version does?
But as I mentioned above, you must obtain a copy of CR 2008. A 30 day eval is available from here;

To obtain a non eval copy, call sales; 866-681-3435

DB Connect- Cant see tables and views in SQL DB

HI,
I successfully managed to connect a MS-SQL DB using DB connect. I am able to connect to the system (Check Connection). When i try to see the Views and Tables available in the SQL DB, it says there are no tables or views available. The SQL DB has granted permission for the SAP User to access certain views and tables. Still it is not showing any. Any help would be appreciated
Thank You

hi,
check things to be followed in oss note 512739
( pdf 'Transferring Data with DB Connect' https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/2f0fea94-0501-0010-829c-d6b5c2ae5e40 )
make sure ...
1. You have to create a special login for the extraction.
You should add this login to the db_ddladmin database role in the corresponding database. This generates a similar DB user at database level. The user you use must have the 'CREATE VIEW' authorization at least. This is contained in the mentioned role.
2. For the extraction, you should only use DB views that were created under this DB user. (See also type conversion, naming convention, and so on).
3. The selected user should be granted the required authorizations (SELECT at least) on the source tables, or on the columns of these tables.
4. The especially created login is to be used in the logon information when you are setting up the DB source system in BW.
hope this helps.

Windows 8.1 - Office 2013 - Visual FoxPro - excel data connection problems

Hi i have an excel document with existing data links to a foxpro database. these links worked on windows 8 with office 2013 but since getting windows 8.1 the links no longer work.
After much searching i have found i need to installed VFPOLEDBSetup.msi
This does not fix the issue. The ODBC Data sources located Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools still have no reference to FoxPro and within excel if i select from other sources and the other/advanced i can see the Microsoft OLE DB
provider for visual fox pro but it crashes excel.
in Windows 8 ODBC Data sources located Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools i have listed two items Visual FoxPro Database and Visual FoxPro Tables but both these are missing in Windows 8.1.
What do i need to do to correct other than not to use Windows 8.1
Many Thanks

How to show all view tab (Main Report and all Sub Report) in Visual FoxPro 9

I use ActiveX from Crystal Report Developer XI for viewer in Visual FoxPro 9 and I already know how to show Main Report by using command:
oRptRun=createobject("CrystalRuntime.Application")
oRptView=thisform.oleRptViewer
oRptOpen=oRptRun.OpenReport('MyReport.rpt')
oRptView.ReportSource=oRptOpen
oRptView.ViewReport
Inside the MyReport.rpt there is two subreport name :
1. MySubReport1
2. MySubReport2
My Question is :
How to show all view tab (Main Report and all Sub Report) at the 1st time we call ViewReport?
I try to using command :
oRptRun=createobject("CrystalRuntime.Application")
oRptView=thisform.oleRptViewer
oRptOpen=oRptRun.OpenReport('MyReport.rpt')
oRptSub=oRptOpen.OpenSubreport("MySubReport1")
oRptSub=oRptOpen.OpenSubreport("MySubReport2")
oRptView.ReportSource=oRptOpen
oRptView.ViewReport
but only show Main Report (view tab name : Preview)?
Did I miss any command before I call oRptView.ViewReport?

Your right, there is only one tab to view the report.
To open the subreports you will need to click on them in the main report. I don't know of a way to open them programmatically like you are doing here

Java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]Syntax error

Hi all,
I am able to INSERT and SELECT records from FoxPRo database successfully.
The driver is Sun JDBC-ODBC bridge
The DELETE statement throws no exception.
I've tried to execute PACK after the DELETE call and got following exception:
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]File must be opened exclusively.So I tried USE MYTABLE EXCLUSIVE in a Statement before calling PACK and got the exception:
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]Syntax error or access violationI've also tried inserting the USE MYTABLE EXCLUSIVE before calling DELETE but got the same exception above.
The ODBC DSN for MYTABLE is setup as:
- Free Tables (not database)
- Null (checked)
- Deleted (checked)
- Fetch data in background (checked)
I am not able to issue any of the following commands to FoxPro using java
OPEN - To open a table
CLOSE - To close a table
USE - To open a table for uer either in exclusive mode or shared mode
The exception being generated is :
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]Syntax error or access violationThe help file of the Microsoft Visual Foxpro Driver states that the driver has support for the above commands.I a not able to get the way to issue the above commands to the driver using java.
In setting up the ODBC DSN I saw no "read only" setting.
In the Visual Foxpro table, I saw no READ ONLY settings.And also, there are no delete permission grants and there is no user database sesssion concept.
I've tried all of the above with DSN mapped to a database(NOT free tables) and setting AUTO-COMMIT OFF and AUTO-COMMIT ON.But in vain. The same exceptions as those stated above persisted.
Environment:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional
JDK version "1.4.2_09"
Microsoft Visual Foxpro 06.00.8167
Microsoft Visual Foxpro Driver 6.01.8629.01
Don't know what else to try.
Can anybody please help me.
Thanks in advance
Archana

The ODBC DSN for MYTABLE is setup as:

Alternative for Visual FoxPro on OS X?

Does anyone knows any alternative for Visual FoxPro on OS X which can run simple commands, because I do not have any server and I do not need to work on whole programs?

Check out Lianja http://www.lianja.com
It supports Visual Foxpro syntax and runs on OSX as well as Windows and Linux.
It also has a interactive console allowing you to simply enter Visual Foxpro commands without requiring you to write a program.

Crytsal Reports 11 cannot connect to Visual Foxpro Database table

I hope someone can help me here. I have read through the other posts here, but can't seem to fiind the answer I need.
We use Crystal Reports to pull information from our Sage databases to create and distribute reports. Currently this is working fine on the original server. However, we decided to move the installation of Crystal Reports from one server to another.
In setting up the new server, I keep getting the message "The database table (table name) cannot be found. Proceed to remove this table from the report?" It displays this message for all the different tables in which data is trying to be accessed. Once I click No to all of these notifications, the correct info is poplulated in the report just fine. I need to get this corrected. It does not do this on the original installation.
Also if I open Database Expert and single click too expand the "Current Connections" folder, I get a message that pops up saying "Database Connector Error: 'HY010:[Microsoft][ODBC Visual Foxpro Driver] Function sequence error'". When I click OK to that, I get another similar error that reads "Database Connector Error: 'IM001:[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver does not support this function'"
Please let me know of any ideas that you may have as to what may be causing this issue. I have tried reinstalling the ODBC drivers, Runtime files, and Crystal. I appreciate any help.

I tried what you mentioned but it did not work. I believe it has to do with a "SQLNumResultCols" in SQL. The reason I say this is because I did a trace on both the server that is working and the server that is not and this is the first key that displayed an error in the SQL.LOG file. Here is this section of the SQL.LOG file for the server that isnt working...
dde             2e94-28b0     EXIT SQLNumResultCols with return code -1 (SQL_ERROR)
          HSTMT               03442998
          SWORD *             0x0012F3F4
          DIAG [HY010] [Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]Function sequence error (0)
And here is this section of the SQL.LOG file for the server that is working...
dde             eb8-c94     EXIT SQLNumResultCols with return code 0 (SQL_SUCCESS)
          HSTMT               03542508
          SWORD *             0x0012F3F4 (5)
I believe if I can figure out what is causing this, I will be able to resolve this issue, but I am not a programmer and I am having a very hard time with this. Any help is appreciated.

Migration of Data from Visual Foxpro (.DBF) to Table in Oracle 8i (Win NT)

Hi Everyone,
I have data in Visual Foxpro (.dbf) which I would like to take into a table of Oracle 8i. I would like to know the easy but secure way of porting from dbf to oracle. I am able to convert to access, if needed.
Please help ! Thanks in anticipation
Beethoven

hello,
check http://otn.oracle.com/tech/migration/content.html
for further information on migrating different types of data to oracle. the easiest way would be to import your foxpro data into microsoft access and then migrate this access-database using the GUI tool you also find at the location mentioned above.

Visual Foxpro Connection

Hii there,
I'm going to connect a foxpro database using jdbc(DSN Connection).
My code is as follows.
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:<DSN name>");
but an exception is occuring:
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]Cannot open file c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vfp98\filename.dbc
is there any problem with code??
plz help...

I don't know about that specific error message, but I want to warn you that the ODBC-JDBC bridge is an unstable and broken piece of code. You should try to use another approach, unless you absolutely need to use it.

Connection between Structure Field and Table Field

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to find a connection between a field in the structure and the actual filed in the table of the database. For example in the structure CAUFVD you have the field PLNNR. This information is stored in the table AFFL in the field PLNNR.
In the transaction SE84 you can display a structure with all it's fields but I don't see anywhere from which table and field the information is gathered.
Can you please help me in finding the connection between the structure field and the table field in the database in which the displayed information is stored?
Thanks and best regards,
CALIN Marius-Bogdan
SAP - PP-KeyUser

Double-click on the structure field and you can do a where-used to find the codepoints, interface usage, etc. You might find it that way. You could also look at the flow logic of your screen and try to trace it back. Otherwise, you'd have to use watchpoints, the debugger, runtime analysis or various other developer tools to find the data population. If you are a user and not a developer as your signature indicates, you might need to find a developer for this. Sometimes, it can be incredibly frustrating with SAP because the data field will be handed off 4 or 5 times before it actually reaches its destination field. Unfortunately, I haven't worked with PP in at least 10 years so I can't give you a better answer; maybe someone else can.

Integrate Crystal Reports version 11.5 and Visual FoxPro

Post Author: landc50
CA Forum: General
I have developed several softwares in Visual FoxPro while using Crystal Reports Version 7 as the major reporting tool.   It was easy to invoike Crystal reports from my applications, simply by adding the Crystal OCX onto the VFP form.
Now --- I have added the ActiveXReportViewer from version 11.5 onto my VFP form.    Looks ok but it I am not sure how to invoke the reports in Maximized mode.   Seems like it will only show the report the same size as the object I placed on my VFP form.
I need to know how to do this yesterday.   I must implement a new system and I do not want to revert back to Crystal reports version 7.   Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I would recommend you have an empty form and drop the viewer on that form. Set the form's state to Maximize.
Good luck,
Brian
