Crystal Report deploying into BO repository giving Failed to open the conn

Hi all,
I am creating a crystal report using JDBC connection and by adding a command (a custom sql)
Then I add a static prompt containing a list of values. In the crystal reports designer, I am able to change the parameter and reports pull up data accordingly.
Now when I deploy the same report to business objects repository, I am able to access the report.
But if I change the parameter value and apply it, I am getting an error saying "Failed to open the connection. .rpt"
I browsed through and thought that I might have to add a business view LOV. So I used Business View Manager and created a LOV and added it to the report. Even then the error persists when the report is deployed onto a BO repository
Appreciate your help,
Joe.

Hi Don,
Thanks for your reply.
I copied the ojdbc.jar from oracle\product\<ver>\db_1\jdbc\lib to Business Objects\common\<ver>\java\lib\external.
Then I added this info
<JDBCURL>jdbc:oracle:thin:@{server name}:1521:</JDBCURL>
<JDBCClassName>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</JDBCClassName>
<JDBCUserName></JDBCUserName>
<JNDIURL></JNDIURL>
<JNDIConnectionFactory></JNDIConnectionFactory>
<JNDIInitContext>/</JNDIInitContext>
<JNDIUserName>weblogic</JNDIUserName>
to CRConfig.xml.
I am not sure where to specify the password for the Oracle user.
When ever I try to refresh the report / apply a parameter, It is asking me for the oracle user name and password.
Can you please help out as to where we need to specify the user name / password for oracle user (schema).
I tried creating a connection from CMC. Couldnt do it.
I tried to find an option in Crystal Reports designer which can import or persist the connection information but in vain.
thanks for your help
Joe.

Getting Error:Failed to open the connection while calling crystal report

I am getting the below error while calling the crystal report from dot net app. I am using OLEDB to connect to database. It is working perfectly in our DEV environment but as soon as I move it to production information after changing the logon information in the report it start giving the below error.
Failed to open the connection.C:\WINDOWS\TEMP{C2FD97D9-2ADE-41BB-88FF-23A4DF20BC6F}.rpt
Details: [Database Vendor Code: 17 ]

Are you able to connect to the database from the production machine using a UDL file?
If you haven't tried this, here's how to do it. Take these steps on the machine that is hosting the application. Create a new text file on the desktop. Change the file extension to ".udl" (without the quotes). Double-click on this to bring up the OLEDB connection test: start on the Provider tab and select the appropriate provider. Click "Next" and on the following tab enter your connection information. Click the "Test Connection" button to test the connection. Does it connect to the database successfully?
If you click on "OK" to close the dialog and then open the UDL file with Notepad, you should see an OLEDB connection string. In this string should be the same property values for server, database, user id and password which you are providing through your application. If they are not the same, modify your application to use these values.
If testing your connection information with the UDL file works but your application is still failing when using the same credentials, try profiling or tracing the database. Do you see connection attempts from the application? Are there any errors?
If you're impersonating, have you set up windows authentication correctly for both the application and the database?

VS Net 3.5 Crystal Reports Deployment causing database login prompt

I have deployed a Visual Studio executible module written in VB Net 3.5 SP 1 with Crystal Reports. When the user tries to view a report(s)
they are prompted to login in to the data base that has been data sourced into the report module. The correct database was verified before the build was made. The developer is able to run the report in a run mode on the local machine where the VB project was created.
In the properties section in the project the following check boxes pertaining to reports were checked on:
         Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008(x86, x64)
         Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Report Viewer
Notes: If the executible module is deployed to a machine that has Visual Studio 2008 installed, the Reports run fine without a database login prompt.
         If the executible module is deployed to a machine that does not have Visual Studio 2008 installed, the user is prompted for a login.
         The data base is a SQL server 2008 database.
I'm being prompted for a server/database login when deploying the application and running it on a machine that does not have Visual Studio 2008 installed on it. One thing I forgot to mention is that the prompt dialog has only the database server name pre-filled but there is
no database name in the dialog. Both of these fields are grayed out. The Crystal Report was updated to reference the new server and database, and I also verified the database successfully.

Hello,
Not sure what DB driver you used to create the reports but if it's the native driver then you need to install the Native client from MS SQL Server 2008 CD/DVD onto the app server also.
MS SQL 2008 will not use MDAC, which is always installed. It requires the client to be installed.
There is also an issue when using OLE DB driver and Time(7) field types in MS's driver and Crystal Reports. Cr see's them as string fields, the driver returns the wrong field type to CR. ODBC does work with these field types.
And is your application running in 32 or 64 bit mode?
Thank you
Don

Error: Failed to open the connection when opening Crystal Report in CMC or

Hello all,
I am getting theError: Failed to open the connection when opening Crystal Report in CMC or Infoview
with access database as the datasource which is in the network drive.

Hi Sonali,
This is because Crystal Reports does not recognize database connection from share drive
1. Save the database locally on server machine
2. Create a new database on server and link the new database with the database on Network.
Steps to link the database.
1.Create a new test database on server.
2. Go to File --> Get External Data --> Link tables | Select the database on Network Drive.
3. Select all the tables from the database.
4. Save the Database e.g. Test.mdb.
5. Create an ODBC Connection on server machine, with the same name as on client machine using test.mdb database.
Note: Click on Advanced button, enter the default user id and password for the odbc connection, it is not mandatory to give Login Name and Password, only if the user id and password are given then we need to provide the same user id and password in the CMC database configuration.
6. Create a report using this ODBC connection, and save the report to Enterprise.

Navin

Crystal Report integrated into SAP but Menu not sorting well

Dear Expert,
I am worry about the Crystal Report menu displayed from SAP B1;
May I know the sorting rule? because it's not sorting by name or by adding date; and it looks not well organized now for users to choose reports.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,

"Failed to open the connection" problem related to multiple tables in the report?

Post Author: Gadow
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
System specifics:
Web environment using ASP.Net 2.0 (from Visual Studio 2005 Professional)
Crystal Reports 2008, v. 12.0.0.549, Full
We have set up the following method for displaying reports via our website:
User is sent to a report-specific page. The user is given some filtering options specific to the report that will be viewed. When the user has specified the data filters, the user clicks a button.
The page wraps up the report parameters -- selection query, formula values, report location, the name to be displayed, etc. -- into a class which gets put into the Session object.
The page redirects to DisplayReport.aspx. ALL reports redirect to this page.
DisplayReport.aspx retrieves the report parameters from Session. A ReportDocument object is created and loaded, then set with the data from the parameters class.
A ConnectionInfo object is created and set with the relevant log on credentials. All of the reports draw from the same database, so the connection information is hard-coded as the same for all reports. The page then iterates through all of the tables in the Database.Tables collection of the ReportDocument and calls ApplyLogOnInfo to each table using the ConnectionInfo object.
The page is rendered and the user gets the filtered report.
We currently have seven reports. Five reports work fine and display the correctly filtered data with no error messages. Two reports generate a Failed to open the connection error and do not display. I have verified that the queries being sent to DisplayReport.aspx are valid, and as I said the connection information itself is hard-coded in the one page that displays the reports and this is identical to all reports.
The five reports that do work all have a single data table, either an actual database table or a single view. The two reports that do not work all have multiple tables. As far as I can tell, this is the only difference between the sets; all seven reports are based on the same DSN and I have verified the database on all of the reports. All of the reports were written using Crystal Reports 8, and all of the reports display fine in a Windows app I wrote some years ago using Crystal Reports 8. Again, the only difference between those reports that do work and those that do not is the number of tables used in the report: one table or view in the reports that display, more than one table (tables only, none use views) in the reports that do not display.
As for the code I am using, below are the relevant methods. The function MakeConnectionInfo simply parses out the components of a standard SQL connection string into a ConnectionInfo object. DisplayedReport is the ID of the CrystalReportViewer on the page.Protected Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
 Dim o As Object = Session("ReportParams")
 Dim ReportURL As String = ""
 'Verify that there is a ReportParameters object
 If o Is Nothing OrElse o.GetType IsNot GetType(ReportParameters) Then 'Redirect to the error page
 Response.Redirect("/errors/MissingReport.aspx")
 End If
 ReportParams = CType(o, ReportParameters)
 'Verify that the report exists
 ReportURL = "/Reports/ReportFiles/" + ReportParams.ReportName
 ReportPath = Server.MapPath(ReportURL)
 If Not File.Exists(ReportPath) Then
 Response.Redirect("/errors/MissingReport.aspx?Report=" + ReportParams.ReportTitle)
 End If
 InitializeReport()
 End Sub
 Protected Sub InitializeReport()
 Dim RD As New ReportDocument
 Dim CI As ConnectionInfo = MakeConnectionInfo(DB_Bonus)
 Dim RPF As CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterField = Nothing
 RD.Load(ReportPath)
 If ReportParams.SelectString <> "" Then
 Dim Adapt As New SqlDataAdapter(ReportParams.SelectString, DB_Bonus)
 Dim DS As New Data.DataSet
 Adapt.Fill(DS)
 RD.SetDataSource(DS.Tables(0))
 End If
 For Each kvp As KeyValuePair(Of String, String) In ReportParams.Formulas
 Dim FFD As FormulaFieldDefinition = Nothing
 Try
 FFD = RD.DataDefinition.FormulaFields(kvp.Key)
 Catch ex As Exception
 'Do nothing
 End Try
 If FFD IsNot Nothing Then
 Select Case FFD.ValueType
 Case FieldValueType.DateField, FieldValueType.DateTimeField
 If IsDate(kvp.Value) Then
 FFD.Text = String.Format("Date()", Convert.ToDateTime(kvp.Value).ToString("yyyy, MM, dd"))
 Else
 FFD.Text = "Date(1960, 01, 01)"
 End If
 Case FieldValueType.StringField
 FFD.Text = String.Format("""""", kvp.Value)
 Case Else
 'For now, treat these as if they were strings. If things blow up here,
 'we will need to add the appropriate formatting for the field type.
 FFD.Text = String.Format("""""", kvp.Value)
 End Select
 End If
 Next
 For Each T As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table In RD.Database.Tables
 Dim TLI As TableLogOnInfo = T.LogOnInfo
 TLI.ConnectionInfo = CI
 T.ApplyLogOnInfo(TLI)
 Next
 DisplayedReport.ReportSource = RD
 End Sub
Does this approach not work with reports containing multiple tables, or is there something I'm missing? Any meaningful suggestions would be much appreciated.

CR2008:Failed to open the connection. Failed to open the connection. Report

Hi,
I've just upgraded from Crystal XI R2 to Crystal 2008. All my reports open happily in Crystal 2008. I have also deployed the Crystal 2008 runtime to a Windows 2003 SP2 R2 server running ASP.NET 1 and ASP.NET 2. Before the Crystal 2008 runtime was installed on top of the already present Crystal XI R2 Runtime I could view RPT files via the .NET report viewer (version XI). Now that Crystal 2008 runtime is installed I receive an error message when I try to view the reports, again, via the .NET report viewer (version 12), although no code has changed apart from all references changed from XI to 2008.
Code is:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument oReportDocument = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
            oReportDocument.Load(sReportFilename);
Tables oTables = oReportDocument.Database.Tables;
               foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table oTable in oTables)
                    TableLogOnInfo crTableLogOnInfo = oTable.LogOnInfo;
                    crTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.IntegratedSecurity = true;
                    crTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "DB" ;
                    crTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName = "server" ;
                    oTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTableLogOnInfo);
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = oReportDocument;
            this.DataBind();
Error message is: 'Failed to open the connection. Failed to open the connection'.
Any help would be great.
Regards
Tony

You are correct in that there are no database connectivity changes in CR 2008.
If you do not have SP0 for CR 2008, download it from here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007528552008E/cr2008_sp0.zip
If that does not help, I'd like to check if the correct dlls are loading when using CR 2008. To do that, download the modules utility from here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip
Then do the following:
1) unzip the download
2) Run the app with the CR 2008 references
3) get the error. leave the error on the screen
4) Start modules
5) Go to the File menu, select New List -> Memory Modules
6) Expand "By process"
7) Find the app exe (or the .NET dev env)
8) Click on that
9) Go to the View menu and select Details
10) Look to see if there are any dlls loading form the CR XI r2 directory (c:\Program files\Business Objects\Common\3.5\bin)

Crystal Report That Uses Stored Procedure Errors when connecting to the DB

We had developed reports a few years ago, including one that calls a Stored Procedure on an iSeries AS400 DB2 database. We upgraded our environments to Crystal Reports 2008 and BO XI 3.1. Now, the existing report that previously ran in the old environment is not running (note that the other SQL-based reports work without a problem, only this one which uses a store procedure is not working). I downloaded the report into my local Crystal Reports designer and tried to run it from there and I got the following error message:
======
Failed to retieve data from the database.
Details: ADO Error Code: 0x
Source Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
Description: [IBM][iSeries Access ODBC Driver] Statement violates access rule: Connection is set to read only.
SQL State: 37000
Native Error: [Database Vendor Code: 30186 ]
======
{CALL "<database>"."<library>"."RELEASEDNOTINVOICE"({d '2010-03-01'})}
This call will still work from on a SQL client running on a JDBC connection. Is there some problem with the new verion of BO and Crystal Reports with using the iSeries ODBC driver?

...my issue was resolved by setting the ODBC.INI registry entry for AllowProcCalls from 0 to 1.

Crystal Server 2011 "Failed to open the connection" with 32 & 64 bit drivers are loaded

Brand new installation of Crystal Reports Server 2011 with CR Developer 2011 as well. Downloaded new Postgres and MySQL drivers for both the 32 and 64 bit ODBC definitions. Created a new report on the server to eliminate any migration driver incompatibility issues. Reports run fine in Developer but give the same "Failed to open the connection."
and still problems running the reports If I Save Data with the reports, I can click View to see the data, but they will not refresh.
All the articles I'm finding online seem to point to the issue with needing 32 & 64 bit drivers, but I've loaded both and built my ODBC connections with the 32 drivers in the SysWOW64 folder.
Logged in as Administrator. Any thoughts out there? Are there some new security measures?
Thanks in advance ...

Yes, Designer and CRS are on the same machine.
Good catch with the 5.1 driver. I loaded up the mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.13-win32 driver and used that. It alone failed when I made the ODBC connection with it. I see on the CRS 2011 Feature Pack 3 .pdf file that it says "Only 64-bit database connector middleware is supported" ... I downloaded the other mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.13-winx64 64bit file, but teh .msi and .zip versions failed on the load. Do I need that if it says that or should the first one be enough?
I've been trying to use a normal User DSN, no? Apparently I don't have access as a machine Administrator to do it as I get "You are logged on with non-Administrative privileges. System DSNs could not be created or modified." Having our server guys get that straightened out and we'll see. Had not heard of that actually but will give it a go.
You say I should create the DSN entries in the 64 bit version of the ODBC Data Source Administrator ... located in the system32 folder, not the SysWOW64 folder, where the 32 bit drivers are found, yes? Isn't that the "wrong" location to use I've been reading? Or are System DSNs different from a User DSN?
BIG thanks for the replies. I owe you beers!!!!!

Is there any way to increase the performance.

Ramsudhakar,
There are several items that could cause these slow down problems. Without knowing more about the way your environment is setup, I could cause more problems, by giving out performance tips. You would need to be more specific in your post.
What we know. BOXI3.1
What we don't know.

Hardware Spec's
ETC.
I see that this post has been out here for some time. So if this is still a problem for you I'll try and help, if you provide more information.
