CR2011, BO 4.0, connection to SQL server via ODBC

Hi,
when developing reports locally using Crystal Reports 2011 I dont' have problems connecting to our MS SQL Server using ODBC. However, as soon as the report is exported to our BO Edge 4.0 SP2 server I get this error message when viewing the report in Launchpad (or CMC) and refreshing it:
"The viewer could not process an event. Failed to open the connection. CRWEB00000119"
In CMC I then entered the credentials for this report but I still get the error message.
So I created a new ODBC connection on the BO server pointing to the SQL server - but I can't specify this ODBC connection in CMC.
Any hints?
Thanks!

BOE 4.0 is 64 bit but some parts connect through 32 bit DB clients. So it would need both the 32 and 64 bit SQL Server 2000 client's installed. Not sure if MS had a 64 bit client for 2000 so likely the problem.
CR 2011 is a 32 bit app so that explains why it works on your PC.
I would or suggest you post to the BOE Admin forum but because it's SQL 2000 I doubt they'll be able to help.
All I can suggest it to upgrade SQL Server to SQL 2005 or 2008, 2008 has a bunch of new security settings/configurations so it takes a little more time to configure and grant rights to DB's but it will work. Also required is the use of and set location to the SQL Native Client 10 Client Tools to be installed and update all of your reports to use it also.

Error when connecting to SQL*PLUS via ODBC to Excel

OS: Windows 2000 Professional
Oracle DB: 9i release 2
SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.1.0
MS Excel: 2000
===================
When I try to connect to SQL*PLUS via ODBC to Excel with "connect scott/tiger@odbc:libro" I get the following error:
ORA-03121: no interface driver connected - function not performed

SQL Server objects are commonly case sensitive, so please surround the column and table names by double quotes:
SELECT "Type_PK_ID" FROM "dbo"."boundaries"@sqlserver
SIDE NOTE: Oracle is by default not case sensitive and all object names are stored in upper case. To get case sensitive objects they need to be surrounded by double quotes. In HSODBC case sensitive table names were commonly found even when not surrounded by double quotes as the gateway used internal SQL Server methods to find the correct table nameing - this method does not work for column names. So to be able to query a case sensitive column it needs to be surrounded by double quotes and the table name must be written as stored in the source database.

Problem with Connection to SQL Server via Servlet (in iPlanet 6 App Server)

Hi ,
I am using the iPlanet ApplicationServer 6.0 SP2 for development & testing of an internet application.
I am facing a problem when I am trying to connect to MS SQL SERVER via the native jdbcodbc driver (obdc32.dll). The error is something like this :

I have configured a DSN with the name "fadd" on the machine with the application server and it used NT authentication. I have supplied an NT userid and password that has appropriate rights on the database "cashbook".
When I write a java standalone program, it does connect but via a servlet it does not connect.
Can some guide me with this problem please ?
Anything one might have observed in the past ? (may be specific to iPlanet ?)
Thanks a lot in advance
~Sunil

I'm using iPlanet App server as well and experiencing similar problem. I load my SQL Server driver by Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver"), then use DriverManager.getDriver() to obtain the Driver.
However, the Driver returned is not the SQLServerDriver as expected. The Driver returned is com.netscape.server.jdbc.Driver! And then when I do Driver.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://MyServer"), it throws an SQLException saying that it doesn't accept a jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver subprotocol. Well, of course it doesn't, it's not a microsoft Driver at all.
I suspect the problem is that the netscape Driver's acceptsURL() method ALWAYS returns true in iPlanet app server, thus when you getDriver(), the netscape Driver is always returned (and always returned as the first one since it's default?). Thus even though the same piece of code works fine as a standalone application, it just doesn't work on iPlanet app server.
My work around is:
Class.forName("my.Driver");
Enumeration enu = DriverManager.getDrivers();
Driver useThis = null;
while (enu.hasMoreElements()) {
Driver d = (Driver)enu.nextElement();
if (d.getClass().toString().indexOf("my.Driver") > -1) {
useThis = d;
Mind that my above code does not have an performance issue. If you look into the source code of how DriverManager get a Driver for a particular URL, it also loads the whole set of available Drivers, then call acceptsURL() method on each of them to find the first "suitable" one. Thus time complexity is the same.
I know this is not a very elegant solution and it defeats the purpose of having a DriverManager. Does any one else has a better way to solve this problem, like a way to specify the priority of each Driver so that SQLServerDriver is returned before the netscape Driver?
Thanks a lot.

Issues while readin SQL server via ODBC connection

Hi Experts,
I havea SQL server db as a source. I have configured the Datastore using ODBC connection. Developed a job which simply reads a table and populates into a flat file. when we run the job, it doesnt show any progress, it just stops after a log message "initializing data store, processing job" . I looked at the job logs file on the Job server, its incomplete as well.
One thing is that, im able to see the data when i go under data store and view data option for that particular table. My other jobs works just fine with oracle data base sources. We restarted the BODS server as well, but it doesnt help. Any idea on what might be going on ?.
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Narayanan

Hi Narayanan ,
There are two steps:
1) Set up the ODBC connection correctly on your Linux server
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/EIM/ToconfigureDataDirectODBConLinuxand+Unix
(test with isql command line if connection on that server to the SQL Server is working)
2) Select ODBC connection in the datastore and then put the name of the connection you defined. (do not choose Database - SQL Server)

MARS connection to SQL Server in JAVA via ODBC

Hello.
I've got this problem.
I'm managing an application JAVA/JSP, based on a 3-tier architecture.
The connection to the database is performed via JDBC/ODBC, in order to work with different DRMS.
Everything is ok when connecting to Oracle or MySql via JDBC, but when we connect to SQL Server via ODBC we get this error: "ODBC SQL SERVER - Connection is busy with result for another stmt".
That's why the application executes more than one SQL statement, opening a ResultSet object, under the same connection.
This is the way the application is performing, and we can't change it.
I've read that on SQL Server 2005 is available a new connection parameter called MARS (Multiple Active Result Sets), that should resolve this problem.
But I was not able to find any way to invoke this type of connection in JAVA for an ODBC connection! (I've found only tips for .NET...).
Many thanks if somebody can suggest me how to resolve this problem.
It's urgent!

Use JDBC. Get a SQL server JDBC driver. Unfortunately I don't know of any free ones, but one I have used in the past is from http://www.jnetdirect.com/
Maybe you can search in the JDBC forum for the answer - Its a common enough question I know.

Unable to connect to SQL database through ODBC calls

I have been looking around for an answer to this, but haven't found the exact issue I'm seeing.
I have several Excel spreadsheets which have been working until recently, which use an ODBC call to a remote SQL database. The database is running, remote connections are allowed. The SQL server is in a domain which has no external trusts. Users with accounts
in this domain can remotely access the SQl databases through ODBC just fine. Users who do not have domain accounts in this domain are being denied access by their domain account, and the SQL authentication is not passed through, even though remote access is
set to allow "everyone", and the database is set to Windows authentication and SQL authentication. This worked until early this week (the spreadsheet was created in 2010), and I have been looking fruitlessly for a fix ever since. As far as I know,
no changes were made to group policy on this domain, and no changes were made to the server or database recently, except Microsoft patches. None of the patches this month looked like they would affect this.

It works locally on the server and remotely for users in the same domain. I am trying to use the SQL account and password to connect to the database, but users from outside this domain fail to reach the SQL database for authentication. It looks like Windows
authentication is not passing the SQL credentials on if the windows authentication fails. I don't know how to resolve this. The only options in SQL are "Windows authentication and SQL authentication" or "Windows authentication only". The database is already
set to the first option. Somehow, I need to set the server to allow the SQL authentication even if the Windows authentication fails.
Hi pkuti01,
SQL Server mixed mode is "Windows Authentication and SQL Server Authentication", we have to restart SQL Server service after change the authentication to mixed mode.
In your case, have you got any error message/information if you faild connect to SQL Server via ODBC? If so, please post them to us for further investigation. Furthermore, here is an article regarding steps to troubleshooting SQL connectivity issues for
your reference. Please see:

The target principal name is incorrect

The target principal name is incorrect
Hi Rahul.U,
Are you able to connect to SQL Server successfully from SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) when enforcing encryption?
According to above error message, it could be caused by the inappropriate server name or incorrect TrustServerCertificate configuration in the connection string from Visual Studio. There are some proposals for you troubleshooting this error.
1. Make sure that you connect to the SQL server using the fully qualified domain name (FQDN).
2. When connecting to a SQL Server instance with a valid certificate, please add the
TrustServerCertificate
parameter and set it to true in the connection string. For more details, please review this
article.
However, if you can successfully connect to SQL Server via SSMS, but still fail to connect to SQL Server from Visual Studio, I would like to recommend you post the question in the .Net Framework forum at
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?category=netdevelopment . It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
There are similar articles about error “The target principal name is incorrect” for your reference.

I have tried from so many forms. This is so frustrating. Thank for everyone/anyone who wants to help. So this is what happened: I had to uninstall my previous sqlserver 2012(which worked great) for some reason, and I uninstalled everything from that download.
Then I installed the trial edition of sql server 2012 (64 Bit) and It wouldn't connect to the database. (Error mentioned above.) My local DB is COWBOYS. (COWBOYS is also my computer name.) After this, I have tried downloading sqlexpress and sqlserver 64bit
many times and cannot connect to my local DB.
How do I connect to my Local DB?
Also, I think this might help: (When I run sqlserve.exe, which I was able to find in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn, I get an error: Your SQL server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with(Error getting
instance ID from name). Please uninstall then re-run setup to correct this problem.
I would happily re install it, if it wasn't my 20th time.
I don't have any remote connections, I don't use username/password, only window authentication. I work mostly on visual studio, but without able to store /retrieve data, I don't know how to survive.
May be the solution is very simple, but I am too frustrated.
Some of the things I have tried:
From a command prompt, enter one of the following commands:
net start "SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)" OR
net start "SQL Server Agent(instancename)"(for instance)
on my sql configuration, I cannot start anything because there is nothing there to start. I can post more details, if that would help. Also, some more details about the error:

Any one that can help me, I will be greatful. Thank you so much. p.s. please ask me anything if you have any questions.

It sounds like there are a couple things going on here. First check if you have a successful install of SQL Server, then we'll figure out the connection issues.
Can you launch SQL Server Configuration Manager and check for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) if default instance or SQL Server (other name) if you've configured your instance as a named instance. Once you find this, make sure the service is started.
If not started, try to start it and see if it throws an error. If you get an error, post the error message your hitting. If the service starts, you can then launch SSMS and try to connect. If you have a default instance, you can use the machine
name in the connection dialog. Ex: "COWBOYS" where Cowboys is the machine name. However, if you named the SQL Server instance during install, you'll need to connect using the machine\instance format. Ex: COWBOYS\Romo (where Romo
is the instance name you set during install).
You can also look at the summary.txt file in the SQL Server setup error logs to see what happened on the most recent install. Past install history is archived in the log folder if you need to dig those up to help troubleshoot, but the most
recent one may help get to the bottom of it if there is an issue with setup detecting a prior instance that needs to be repaired.

I'd recommend that you not use the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver to connect to SQL Server. M$ and jTDS are two free type IV JDBC drivers that you should use instead. Put those JARs in the WEB-INF/lib directory.
The database URL you're using is not correct if you change drivers. Consult the docs to find out what the proper syntax is.

How can i connect to SQL Server 7.0 on Windons Using JDBC

How can i connect to Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 on a windows enviroment ?
in sql server 2000 some jar files are required that is
What you need to do is actually add all three jar files to your class path individually. There are three jar files that come with this driver the msbase.jar, msutil.jar, and mssqlserver.jar. for sqlQ server 2000.
now the problem is that i cant find these files on my system. firstly where these files will be located. secondly are they will be used to connect to SQL Server 7.0. thirdly if not what is the procedure.
My next Problem is that I have Websphere Studio Application Developer. in which their is this facility of Database Webpages its like a wizard which makes automatically beans servlets and JSP but before that you need a Driver Name and and Class Name for to Connect to the Database.
Can you tell what is the specific Driver Path for the Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 . secondly is this the class which is used to connect to SQL server 7.0 "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver" where can i find this one. for SQL server 7.0.
please provide some guidance in this regard.

You can search for the JDBC drivers at, http://industry.java.sun.com/products/jdbc/drivers
All the three jars that you specified are part of MsSQL Server jdbc driver. You need them (in the classpath) to get connected to the database.
"com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver" is the class in mssqlserver.jar. This is the driver class which will be used to get connected to the database.
You can search in this forum for writting jdbc code (for Sql Server). If you don't find these jars, give me your e-mail id.

How can I connect to SQL Server CE?

Hi!
How can I connect to SQL Server CE ?
Any idea?
I found jdbc driver for SQL Server 6.5,7.0,2000.
But no driver for SQL CE.
Thanks for any suggestion....

I am also searching for same answer.
I wanna choose Access as a db. but I can't find that so I have a no choice to select SQL2000CE though.
I am stuck in driver problem. I can't find that.
Should I use Oracle Lite or PointBase?
I am under a lot of stress... like you've been...
I wish you find and post that....

Microsoft make a jdbc driver and it is readily available through MSDN. Here is a link http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/data/aa937724.aspx. Whatever jdbc driver you are looking for, Google it, and if it exists you'll find it in 10 seconds.
