Crystal in Win 2008 64 with Oracle

I'm using windows 2008 64 with Oracle client 64 VS 2008, what kind of connection i can use to connect to oracle?
I tried to use oracle OLE DB but it doesn't work, it returns only 1 column of data.
I tried to use Microsoft OLE DB for oracle and i'm getting the following error:  "Invalid mapping type value in CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc.ReportClientDocumentClass.VerifyDatabase()".
I can't use Native oracle connection because Crystal 2008 is not compatible with 64.
How can i solve this problem?

Since the Oracle client is 64 bit and CR 2008 is 32 bit, you wil not be able to use CR 2008. Your only option with with 64 bit Oracle client and .NET 2008 is Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 (CR 10.5) which bundles with .NET 2008. And ODBC only. For more info, see the article [Crystal Reports support of 64-bit Operating Systems|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10d5fa88-2013-2c10-c9a5-f11963607d4e].

  • ECC 6.0 installed in win 2008 server with db2 9

    Dear all.,
    I have newly installed sap erp ecc 6.0 in win 2008 server with db2.The installation is successfully finished and system is up and running.
    But the issue is i could not find anything in the control centre to take backup and to do other activities.
    I tried to add the system in control centre and i tried to run with DB2admin create command.
    Please anybody let me know how to get all the systems and all database in control centre in db2.

    best regards.,

    db2admin create command is for creating the DAS, I guess no need of it here

    On Windows server, start -> run -> db2cmd -> enter
    Does it open db2cmd prompt ?
    If yes, check these and paste the output here in forum

    Ok, I guess you are trying to add the instance. Try the following link for 'Listing available instances' and 'adding additional instances'

  • Crystal Reports Server 2008 - Cant run Oracle Reports

    Hey All
    I have setup Crystal Reports Server 2008 on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2. Oracle 9 is currenlty installed on the server and the TNSNAMES.ORA file has been configured so that it points to the correct server. The ODBC connection has been setup on the Server, I have tested the connection on the server and it works fine.
    CMC is running fine, we currenlty can get SQL reports to work in it no problem. However I cannot get a Crystal Report created in Crystal Reports 2008, that is connecting to an ORACLE database to work.
    When I add the report to the server, and try to view it on run it, I get the following error:
    "Error in File ~tmp1d6c5ecca060440.rpt: Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters"
    I have tried playing around with the Database Configuration in CMC I get the same issue. I have also checked all the Servers in CMC and they are Enabled and running.
    I dont know what else to do? Is there something that I am missing?
    Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

    Ok Guys, I figured out the issue.
    I tried running the query sqlplus myuser/mypassword@mydb in CMD. Where myuser=USERNAME mypassword=PASSWORD and MYDB=Database Server.
    It was giving me an error, SQLPLUS not recognised.
    Oracle 9 was installed. I checked and Oracle 9 does not have SQL PLus. So I installed Oracle 10.
    I then added the TNSNAMES.ora file in the right location where I installed it.
    Re configured the ODBC connections with the new driver, tested and worked fine
    I then tried running the  sqlplus myuser/mypassword@mydb in CMD - it worked and connected fine.
    I then rebooted the server - logged back in. I then logged back into the CMC, and ran a Crystal report connecting to an ORACLE database and it worked!
    Hope this helps anyone else out having a similar issue.

  • Does windows 2008 compatible with Oracle 10.1.0.2.0

    If you do this only for cost reasons, you should reconsider.
    My guess is this is some managerial directive.I agree with you that any flavour of *nix is better than Windows, but the reality is that there might be situations where a Windows-platform is better.
    If the entire server park is Windows, then the delivery will be better with a platform change. It's much likelier that the machine will stand abandoned in a corner, slowly rotting away if nobody really knows how to to manage the beast...
    The world isn't black and white, and it isn't always about which is the better technical platform. If it was, the whole world would be using *nix-servers... ;-)

  • Installing Crystal reports server 2008 v1 with iis

    Hi All
    I have downloaded a trial version of Crystal reports server 2008 v1 to install on our server.
    We are runnning server 2003 and have iis version 6.0 installed.
    I have run the installation wizard on our test server but when i get to the "Select Web Application Server" screen i am not given the option to select "Deploy the application in WACS" as the documentation suggests i should.
    I continued with the installation using the "IIS Web ApplicationServer option" and selected the default iis website to deploy to but when i try to run the CMC and InfoView I just get the message "Internet Explorer cannot display the Webpage"
    We have asp.net v1.1 installed and Application server is installed in windows components.
    Does anyone have any idea what may be causing my problems. It is my first time install ing CRS so i may have missed something.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Upgrading from CR 8.5 to CR 2008, along with Oracle DB from 9 to 11G

    We currently use Crystal Reports 8.5, yeah its ancient, but suited our needs.  Our web guys upgraded our server to oracle 11g R2, and now we have lil issues with the changes and how the old CR works.  So figured it was time to upgrade it as well.  My problem lies that i know nothing of database connectors.  I have a guide for oracle 9 and CR 8.5 written by the guy before me.  works great.
    with out changing anything and just installing and trying to refresh a current report i recieved an error
    "Failed to load database information.
    Details: the database connector 'crdb_oracle.dll' could not be loaded.  The correct version of the database client for this database type might not be installed."
    I looked around the new CR for an oracle connector that exists in the old 8.5 version, and found nothing. 
    So i tried and downloaded the oracle instant client... which just has you copy a folder with the dlls and enter in a new entry to the environment path variable.  Still get alot of nothing.  Not sure if i should just reinstall 2008 at this point or what.  the forum going back the last year didnt help me. 
    ideas

    CR 8.5 or 9 is not Oracle 11 aware. Past their end of life so not sure how to fix this. Possibly use ODBC or OLE DB drviers.

    Hi,
    We are currently running Crystal Reports version 5 on Oracle version 10. Now we are migrating to Oracle version 11. Could you lt me know that whether Crstal Reports version 5 is compatible with version11.

    Absolutely nothing would be guaranteed with Crystal Reports 5.  It's past its EOL by a while now.

  • SAP Server upgrade from Windows 2003 and 2008 R2 with Oracle Database

    Hi,
    We need to upgrade upgrade our Windows servers that are running our SAP systems from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2.  We are using Microsoft Clustering for HA so an inplace upgrade seems not possible.
    Someone has suggested to us that we will need to export our database and reimport it to achieve this upgrade however but I cannot understand why this would be necessary (we are not changing the underlying filesystem!).
    Could someone please confirm whether a database export and import is required for this OS upgrade scenario?  I have done a bit of research but nothing has jumped out and now I need an answer to this quickly.
    We are running
    - ERP 6.0 NW 7.01 (soon to be 7.02 with ABAP stack only)
    - XI(PI) Java & ABAP
    - SRM (Java & ABAP)
    - Portal (Java only)
    - PLM (Java & ABAP)
    - BW (BI 7.0) (Java and ABAP)
    Thank You
    Felicity

    Hello,
    You need to go for 'Homogeneous System Copy' to achieve this, but since almost all the systems in your landscape include the Java Stack as well - so the system copy with Export/Import is to be carried out.
    Even if you are not going for file system change, but it is a Windows environment and you can't put SAP up on the target Windows (windows 2008 R2) just by copying the contents and file system from source to target. You need SAPinst to create the registry and all. - On top of that you have Java stacks involved, so for java stack you can't carry out just backup/restore method to put SAP up there on target - so you need Export/import because for java stack some OS level dump is to be collected during system copy from source and it needs to be imported on target OS.
    Are you clear on this one ?
    Read system copy guide once and Search in OSS for the Notes to check how to upgrade from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2.
    Thanks

  • Java gets error pki-02002 accessing wallet on windows 2008 with Oracle 12 only

    I have a windows 2008 server with Oracle 12 client installed and I can't figure out what is preventing me from running java commands that use the wallet.  The wallet itself seems to be fine as I can log in with SQLPLUS using the wallet, it is only when I try to run a java command that it fails with a PKI-02002 error.
    Also - I can run the same command line without error with oracle 11 installed, so it seems to be something that differs between oracle 11 and 12.   Any ideas of what I should look for?  I've checked permissions on
    Here is the error:
    java.sql.SQLException: encountered a problem with the Secret Store.

  • Crystal Reports Server 2008 - Jobserver fails!

    Hi,
    I've just installed Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1. With the server specs listed below:
    ESX VMWare Server
    OS: Windows Server 2003
    RAM: 4GB
    DISK: 20GB FREE
    I've since started scheduling reports and setting up of the user profiles/access levels.
    The scheduling of reports worked fine for the first 2-3 days. After that, it seems as though the job server just dies/stops scheduling. Any other instances that are run manually will be stucked with the status "Pending".
    Only after rebooting the Jobserver, will the 'stuck' jobs be processed. This is getting kind of irritating and unacceptable. Anyone has any solutions to this issue that i am facing ?.
    Really appreciate any help!
    Also, my event log shows a couple of errors and warnings which i will add below:

    Hardware resources were NEVER an issue.  We have quad core boxes with 2 processors, no other reporting requests just sitting idle and we see this.  We now installed SP3 for XI 3.1 and still occasionally seeing it.  RAM
    We found that if the CMS or the Job server are restarted (we tested this with CR, Webi, Deski) all use the same code to process jobs so it makes sense.
    SAP told me to add the -type outproc on ALL job servers.  I tried this, I haven't had pending jobs yet on XI 3.1, but doesn't mean it doesn't happen anymore.  We only randomly saw this due to our activity on the boxes.
    It's one main pressing point for us to move to XI 3.1 Sp3.
    By adding this switch we were told it won't re-use any jobserverchild.exe's.  It will only create and close new ones used for the request.
    We saw our pre-spawned go way down, so it looks like it doesn't pre-spawn any after putting this switch in the command line of the job server.
    I still have a case open on this issue.  I am waiting for it to appear it's head.
    We noticed that it wasn't just Crystal, but all jobs pended.  So I suspect what's happening is that something is losing connectivity, yet when I looked at the DB - it was saying active and running just like what we were seeing.
    If we restart the CMS OR the job servers, either way they worked after that.  I didn't have to do both so that seems like something is losing connectivity to the CMS.
    One might say the one point of failure might be the CMS...since all other job servers are having issues.  However, all on demand jobs were running fine, even against samples.
    So it's a weird issue.  I traced as well and no one at SAP could see anything.  As soon as I restarted the problem went away so hard to trace unless I let it trace for days.

  • Very slow first connection with Oracle.DataAccess 4.112.1.2

    Hello, I'm having some troubles with connecting using Oracle DataAccess component. In particular, when using .Net 4 Framework, the first connection to the database takes about 20-25 seconds!
    Here's my setup:
    - Web server running 64-bit Windows Web Server 2008 SP2 with IIS 7.0
    - Oracle server running 64-bit Windows Server Standard 2008 SP2 with Oracle 11g
    The version of ODAC component is 2.112.1.2 / 4.112.1.2
    The first strange thing is that, when I set an application on .NET 4 in IIS, I need to "Enable 32-bit Application" in order for it to work.
    I made some tests with a very simple query: "SELECT 1 FROM dual" and here's the results:
    - Classic ASP (ADODB.Connection): a fraction of a second to connect
    - .NET 2 with System.Data.OracleClient: a fraction of a second to connect
    - .NET 4 with Oracle.DataAccess: 20-25 seconds
    Moreover, if I launch the first connection thru Classic ASP, then the .NET 4 connection is very fast, as it happen in any case from the second connection on...
    This way, I excluded the problem is in the connection string, since it's always pretty much the same. I also excluded it could be a TNS problem, since they all use the same TNS (I think).
    That's all I've come up with, and I'm not a big Oracle expert so I hope someone here can help me sorting the situation out!
    Thanks,
    Stefano

    Thanks for your reply.
    I already tried messing around with that parameter.
    At the moment, it was set as:
    SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NONE)
    I commented it and nothing changed.
    Thanks anyway :)

    But you can install the 32bit version on a 64bit OS.
    When you install the 32bit version please make sure to not install into the "Program Files (x86)" Folder - somethimes i had problems with the "(" ")".

  • Problem with installing R12  with Win 2008 (Rapidwiz 12.1.1.9)

    I could really use someones help.
    I did a download recently of Oracle Financials R12 for windows (I'm using WIN 2008 server) which contained version 12.1.1.9 Rapidwiz. I was unable to get it to work as individual DVD's which is fine, I build the staging area and had better results.
    The first error I encountered was the release contained JRE 1.6 but the install referenced 1.5. I took a suggestion that I saw to copy the directory and rename it which worked just fine.
    The next error I encountered came during the database install. There was some problem with the database service. It sounds similar to a problem discussed about just the database not related to Oracle Financials but the "fix" to just start the database doesn't seem to apply.
    Below is the Rapidwiz log. The warning first mentioned is to check to be sure that the Administrator user being used in the install belongs to the administrator user group which of course it does.
    I've brought to the top of the log, the error that I think is occurring. Please help me install, I'm trying to evaluate the software but having trouble with just the install is concerning.

  • Please help with my crystal reports server 2008 trial setup

    Firstly, if this is in the wrong section feel free to move it. I find this forum is to big to find the information i need, in fact trying to find anything i need on this website is almost impossible. So far not impressed with SAP at all! we download a trial and when we have problems nobody can support us and we have to post in the forums for answers, which i find disgracefull to be honest. So this post is my last attempt of finding the answers to my problems or we are going to forget crystal reports server for good! I was also told that if i wanted help setting this up then i would have to pay, thats not how things usually go when we download a trial of any software!
    Anyway, rant over!!
    Right, we have windows server 2008 and have installed crystal reports server 2008. So far all i have managed to get working is the reports themselves which run and schedule fine. The dashboard and business views are so confusing i just dont get it at all, the manuals dont help either becuase they are rubbish basically. But my first problem is trying to get windows AD authentication working! easier said than done. I have spent 4 days trying to get it working but nothing is happening. this is what i have done so far
    Set up all the options in the CMC to enable AD authentication, mapped a few groups one of which i am a member of.
    Then i setup the krb5.ini file like below (removed my server name and domain name)
    [libdefaults]
        default_realm = DOMAIN.CO.UK
        dns_lookup_kdc = true
        dns_lookup_realm = true
        udp_preference_limit = 1
    [realms]
    DOMAIN.CO.UK = {
        kdc = DC.CO.UK
        default_domain = DOMAIN.CO.UK
    i also have that other file bscLogin which looks like this...
    com.businessobjects.security.jgss.initiate {
    com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required;
    The server inteligence agent has been set to use the same username as i specified in the CMC which is also the service principal name and the administartion name
    i have set the web config file to use SecWINAD as default, i have also set it to give the option of enterprise, win ad etc in a drop down list
    i have gone round in circles for days following the instructions, and nothing is happening
    Also i dont see any usernames within the groups i have mapped , am i supposed to see any? am i supposed to add them manually?? if so, whats the point in that?
    So now everytime i try to log in i get this error message
    Account Information Not Recognized: Active Directory Authentication failed to log you on. Please contact your system administrator to make sure you are a member of a valid mapped group and try again. If you are not a member of the default domain, enter your user name as UserName@DNS_DomainName, and then try again. (FWM 00006)
    There is also another error message i get, which isnt coming up right now but it says somthing along the lines of could not authenticate at this time (FWM 00005)
    i fail to see what im doing wrong. I shoudl also point out that the username i am using for everything is our own network admin password!
    any ideas on things to check before we give up with this all together?

    Hi Roberto,
    With the changes when SAP took over BusinessObjects the support packaging also changed. It's the way it is now but we are moving to and giving as much options as we can. SAP works on the Self Serve practice. the info is available but you have to find it, which is another thing we are working on to improve for BOE/CRS.
    Best place to start is in the CMS link off the start menu, You'll find the Admin Guide and Setup/Configuration Guides. You can also find all of the latest info and updates to those guides from help.sap.com then click on the SAP BusinessObjects tab along the top and then on the left click on All Products and then filter on your version.
    Once the Firewalls and Domains and your CRS Server is added to the Trusted Domains and ports opened to allow CRS to talk to the DNS Server CRS will begin to load all of the users into it's User Mappings. You still have to add each user or Group of Users but they will be available. Documents does describe how to....
    Once you have the Admin Guide search on Security and it explains in details how to set up and which ports need to be opened etc.
    Thank you
    Don
