Crystal report logon Failed Error

Dear All
We have installed BOBJ Edge 3.1 Server at Windows Server.
We insalled Crystal Report 2008 at one of our Laptop. (Client).
When we tried to create a sample report,
we selected a existing universe from the BOBJ Server. When we selected it ask me for the server connection details. It connected and showed me the existing unverses.
I selected say eFashion - and picked some fields and Click OK.
Then it givs logon failed error.
Can some one explian me where i am missing
REgards,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
If the Universe is based off an ODBC connection, then the same ODBC connection (with the same name) needs to be present on the client machine too.
So, like Don suggested, the client machine would need the same DB client too.
Open the Universe in the Universe Designer. Go to File > Parameters > Edit. This is where you see all the connection information of the Universe.

Logon Failed Error in Crystal Reports

Hiii Experts,
                We are facing one error while working on crystal reports 2008 and SAP Version 8.8-PL18 and SAP 8.81-PL 9
"Logon Failed" Error comes even when we add all connection details correctly in connection details window, sometimes it comes some time not.
          We face this error when,
1) When verifying the database in Crystal reports.
2)When we are saving any particular report in sap B1.
3)It comes when we try to set the database Location in Crystal Reports.
4)Also,when we are trying to view preview of report.
                This problem is too much time consuming and irregular. We are not able to find exact cause. Please, help us.

Hi Suhas,
when making a test, its always a good practice to test in the same PL, or in a Higher PL.
anyways, you need to update your Datasource, from your CR IDE goto Database -->> Set Datasource Location. then use either of the 2
1. OLE DB (ADO) - Driver (SQL Server Native Client 10.0)
2. SAP Business One
and update your datasource accordingly.

Logon Failed Error Thrown by Simple Web Report

I am getting the logon failed error when I try to access the web service hosting my report. The report displays information from a typed dataset that loads the XML from the local directory. The report runs fine from a windows console application where I must instantiate a dataset, read the XML, and bind to the report. The typed dataset is in the web service project and the XML file is in the base virtual directory and bin directories.To create the web service, I followed an example from a .NET Programming book, but it did not include all of the steps above. Where do I tell the web service to instantiate the dataset and load the data?Thanks. Greg 

Are you publishing a Crystal Report as a Web Service, i.e., a Web Service view of a Crystal Report, or creating a Web Service that exports a Crystal Report, i.e., export a RPT or PDF of a Crystal Report?
I'm inferring that you have a ADO.NET class that consumes XML, then Crystal reports off that ADO.NET.
I'm also assuming you're not using BusinessObjects Enterprise Web Services.
I'd like to get further info as to where things are breaking down.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Temporary error "A Crystal Reports job failed because a free license ..."

Hi all,
We coded with VS 2003 a .NET 1.1 application which using the Crystal Report 9 Redistribution package .NET ready to display reports from measured data from our device. The data is stored in a SQL Server 2000 MSDE. Crystal Report has his own DB connection to the SQL server to read the data to display the report.
Our application runs well on approx. 100 distributed installations. But on six customers installation we get this error. Actual on two customers PCs using the same DB we get the error "A Crystal Reports job failed because a free license could not be obtained in the time allocated.". This error pop up every time, when the report is shown. Although the report get shown completely.
I observed in the 'Windows Event Viewer => "System" log after the above-mentioned error following entry "Crystal Report job was delayed 2 (sec)." once for every time when the user requested a report.
I restored an empty DB on customers PC and the error don't pop up anymore.
All CR .NET assemblies have the version 9.2.3300.0. I tested also the "CrystalReportNET_keycodefix.zip", but it doesn't help. I had checked for hours all the issues about this error message on the internet. I tested the most fitting solutions, but not one fix the problem.
I tested customers full DB on my Virtual Machine with same installation, but I don't get the error.
Cheers
Ronny

Hi Ludek 
 
Thanks for your answer. I checked all the things you asked me to do on both system. 
 
Here are the results from my investigations: 
 
1) The keycode.dll was not on the not working PC. 
I copied it to the root of C: as on the working PC. I registered it with regsvr32.exe and tested the issue. 
=> The problem still exist. 
 
 
 
2) I compared the keycode on both system: 
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Crystal Decisions\9.0\Crystal Reports\Keycodes\CR Ent 
 
non working PC: 
1 AAP50-GS00000-U7000RN 131203342 3979604006 
The code is different in comparison to the working PC, because I carried out the 'CrystalReportNET_keycodefix.zip'. Before this I made an export of the above registry key. Afterwards I wasn't able to merge this export (backup) again with the registry. I assume due to the included carriage returns in the keycode. 
 
working PC 
1 XXXXX 
 
 
 
3) I used the Process Monitor and got following error during the error sequence: 
 
I list only some key entries from the hundreds of error entries. Please inform me, how I can provide you the full logger files. 
 
non working PC: 
WriteFile C:\...\Administrator.QCNIR002\Local Settings\temp\~cpe{AD83....} Fast IO Disallowed

RegOpenKey HKCU\Software\Crystal Decisions\9.0\Crystal Reports\Database NAME NOT FOUND 
RegOpenKey HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\DnsClient NAME NOT FOUND 
 
But I observed beside the results: No more entries, Name not found, Fast IO Disallowed, Buffer overflow (RegQueryKey) and Range not locked (UnlockFileSingle of printer driver) no other errors.

4) Service Packs 
We could only compare the file size of the Merge Module we used with the one you provided me in the above link. 
 
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr>

<td>file size of used Merge Module</td>
<td>file size of SP1 Merge Module</td>

<td>10'701'824 Byte</td>
<td>10'905'088 Byte</td>
</tr>
</table>
 
But I tried to install SP7 on my PC and on customers PC, but I got following error after I accepted the license agreement in the setup.exe: titlebar of window 'Information', Msg: 'Failed to create Backup folder -110' and just a button 'OK'. I got into an infinit loop and I could only end the process: 'IKernel.exe'. 
Remark: I get the same error with SP5 and SP6. 
 
 
 
5) Modules - comparison of DLL's 
 
I cross checked all the DLL in Modules, which begin with CR and some other, because there were over 100 DLL's.

Please specify the more detailed, if you mean the Crystal framework files or the .NET files. Could you give me please the location of the framework dlls and database client dlls like a folder name, so that I can check also all of them. 
 
I can provide you also the Module logger files, if you require them. 
 
 
I would appreciate your further help very much.

CRVS2010 Beta 2 - "Database Logon failed" Error, after Upgrade

Hi,
Generally: we are using the Crystal Reports in combination with a DataSet, that is filled during runtime and pushed to the report, using "SetDataSource". The Project is an ASP .NET 3.5 Project, published on our server.
I upgraded my development-machine to CRVS2010 (installed both packages - the CRVS for VS 2010 and the runtime) last week and changed some fields in the Report. The DataSet was left unchanged. Everything is working well on my development-machine, but when I publish the Project to our server, I get an "Databse Logon failed" Error, when I want to create my Report. The CRVS2010 Beta 2 redist Runtime is installed on our server. Here is the code, we use:
// create new Report
var report = new Reports.repMyReport();
// DataSource ds was filled correctly (we checked with export to XML
report.SetDataSource(ds);
// Set several Parameters to Report
report.SetParameterValue("test", "test");
// Export Report to PDF-Format and open in Browser
report.ExportToHttpResponse(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, Response, false, "reportName.pdf");
Response.End();
The error I get is:
Database logon failed.

I already tried everything, found googling the web and/or searching this forum:
e.g.: perform "verify Database" on all Reports and map the DataSet.xsd again to the Report
Is that a known issue on the Beta and we should wait for the RC, or does anyone have an idea how to fix that one?
This error is really annoying!
Many thanks for your help.
kind regards
Reinhard

Dear Ludek,
Many thanks for your quick reply. Currently, I have to finish some other things. I will try your ideas next week and give you some feedback then, to keep you informed.
best regards,

Database logon failed error on IIS7

I am getting a Database logon failed error on a report that is being called in ASP.NET form on IIS7. This error does not happen in my development environment but only on the webserver in IIS7. I can open the report and run it in Crystal Reports designer without any problem. Any help on this will be appreciated. The error message I get is below.

What database?
How are you connecting to it (ODBC, OLE DB, etc.)?
I'd also highly recommend having a read of the following:

Logon failed error when launching Web Intelligence from InfoView

After changing the Web Intelligence preferences in BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.0 Java InfoView to launch the desktop or rich client option, I get a "logon failed" error message. However, when I launch Web Intelligence Rich Client from 'Start > Programs >...' directly, the same logon information is successful. The logon is set to use Enterprise authentication which is the same logon information used to launch InfoView and Web Intelligence.
Why does the logon fail when I launch Web Intelligence from InfoView?
Edited by: Ana on Mar 31, 2009 3:43 PM

I deleted the report completely and rebuilt it from scratch, and also added names for the data table and data set generated within the project and finally, success!
Jason, thanks so much for your help which got me moving on this again.

Logon fail error

I created a Windows appliction using CR 2008 basic (VS2008). It connects to an SQL server 2008 computer using SQL server authentication. The application works fine in Vista and Windows Server 2008; it connects to the SQL server, generates the report and shows it fine. All this without asking me about username and password to logon to the database (as i provide the username and password in the code). However, when i use the application in Windows Server 2003 or Win XP, it gives a logon failed error and shows a prompt for entering username and passord to logon to the database. Even when i enter the correct password, it keeps giving logon error. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

More than likely, this is a database client issue - either not installed, not installed correctly, or incorrect version. E.g.; it is not a code issue. Couple of ways of troubleshooting this:
1) Download the Modules utility and compare the dlls loading on a working and non working machines. Modules is [here|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip]
2) Download an eval of CR 2008, install it on one of the non working computers and try to run the report fromthe designer. Eval of CR 2008 can be downloaded from [here|http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx]

DAO Logon failed error

In one of our clientu2019s machine they are getting a logon failed error u201CCannot open a database created with a previous version of your application.u201D Our report is connecting to multiple tables created in Access 97 password protected database using DAO native connection. In one of the reports that uses single table if I will create a recordset and pass it as the datasource it works fine. I cannot apply this to the other reports since it is using several tables and subreports with a link to the main table. I added a code to test the connectivity on each table after I set the location and password and it fails. Can you please help me figure out why the report cannot connect to each table and what causing this logon failed error?

Ok so to clarify how was that report originally created, off the tables or off the dataset?
Because using one or the other requires code to update the report itself if changing. Setting the report to a dataset doesn't require logon info. And at the same time setting a report based on a DS to a DB does require logging on.
Next, can anyone, even the DBA who has full access, run that report? CR fully supports DB security, so if the user does not have access to the tables in the report then you will get an error.

Crystal Reports version 10 error when displaying report

Hello: New member here, been lurking around for a while. A lot of good information here.
I do hope this is the right place to ask this first question. I have a customer that has a Crystal Reports 10 installation and cannot display reports since he upgraded from Crystal report 8 to Crystal reports 10
The error he gets is pop message:
CRAXDT error Occurred on Server Error Number: -2147221005 Error description: 006ASP 0177Server
CreateObject Failed~800401f3
Connection to the database is good we checked with query using SQL.
Let me know what you think I should check next.
I appreciate it.
Thanks
Damon

1212487 - Error: "CRAXDRT Error Occured on Server. Error Number:-2147221005"
Symptom
A report is called through the Active Server Pages (ASP) Report Server to be displayed in the Report Viewer for ActiveX. However, the report is displayed with blank pages and when the viewer is switched to the Report Viewer for HTML the following error is displayed:
"CRAXDRT Error Occurred on Server. Error Number:-2147221005 Error Description: 006ASP 0177 Server.CreateObject Failed~Invalid Class String"
The same ASP application returns the report correctly when it is called from a client computer with the full version of Crystal Report 8 Developer Edition installed.
Resolution
It was found that the file, Emfgen.dll, was not installed and registered on the web server computer during the installation of the Crystal Reports ASP Reports Server. The report could be displayed correctly on the client computer, without Crystal Reports Developer Edition installed, after this file had been installed on the web server computer.
For more information on installing the Crystal Reports web components please search for and download Scr8_WebManualInstall.zip from our website at:

A Crystal Reports job failed because a free license could not be obtained i

We have an enterprise application installed at a clients site where they have 10 CITRIX clients connecting to 5 APPLICATION servers (the servers are being load balanced). The application allows users to generate reports. The reports are generated on the APPLICATION servers. We have written some queued components which allow up to 5 reports to be generated at the same time. We have crystal reports XI installed on the APPLICATION servers. Currently we get the following error when users attempt to generate reports:
A Crystal Reports job failed because a free license could not be obtained in the time allocated
However if you change the queued components to only generate 1 report at any given time we do not get the error.
Any ideas on what could be causing this?
Thanks in advance.

Crystal report 9 memory error.

we are using crystal report 9 with sybase power builder..... at some client locations we are experiencing the application crash due to memory while opening crystal reports.
the following errors were noticed
1.the instruction at "0x77124804" referenced memory at "0x001b3e60". the memory could not be read.
2.the instruction at "0x7c911daf" referenced memory at "0x00000000". the memory could not be read.
please guide us what is the issue.. do we need any hotfix or service pack for this.
regards

I assume you already tried to reinstall the application and I would recommend to do it one more time, but this time follow the process for so-called manual uninstall
1. Uninstall Crystal reports 9 using add remove programs
2. Save backup -up of the Registry
3. Remove the following registry key (be careful with the registry file):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports
4. Reinstall Crystal Reports 9
As the next step I would check and disable Data Execution Prevention.
Go to: Start> Right-click My Computer" select Properties> Advanced tab > click Performance settings> Data Execution Prevention tab.
If DEP turned on for all programs, then add Crystal Reports (crw32.exe) to except list.
If DEP is not cause of problems, then I would suggest Process Monitor to locate the reason or at least try to locate it.
You can download Process Monitor utility from the following page:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx
The same page will tell you how to use it. I would suggest the following steps:
Close all unnecessary applications/processes
1. Open Crystal Reports
2. Start the Process Monitor, stop capturing events (Cntrl-E), clean the display (Cntrl-X), add the following filter (Cntrl-L) "Process Name is crw32.exe then include", click ok.
3. Start capturing events (Cntrl-E)
4. Immediately click Format menu on Crystal Reports
5. Stop capturing events and save the log file
Now you can look at the log file to see what is going wrong. I would also advice to capture the same log on client machine to compare the sequence of events.
Gracias...!!

authentication and network errors.
Rebooting the Web Server temporarily fixes the issue however the error recurs again after a day or two. We are seeing this problem in both our PROD and DR server. There was no change done to either of these boxes recently.
Also at this pint IIS was crashing. Microsoft Support analyzed the crash dumps created from IIS and came up with the following:
"All the memory dumps captured showed the same DLL that was accessing corrupted memory. This same DLL would also be the one that had originally written to those addresses. The DLL was craxdrt.dll from Crystal Reports 8.0 ActiveX Designer, which was version 8.0.1.0 from 1/28/2000. This DLL should be updated to see if this issue has already been fixed. Other options are to recycle IIS more frequently and move to a new version of Crystal Reports."
Here is a detailed analysis from Microsoft Support:
The issue appears to be heap corruption. Normally these are difficult to troubleshoot, however, in this case every memory dump that I looked at had the same component involved.

Comments: Crystal Reports for Visual Basic
This component is from the year 2000 and needs to be updated. I searched our old cases and found several where old version of this component caused the same heap corruption.
Please help as this is a production issue. Please let me know if you need any more information.
thanks and regards

Something must have changed. Were any patches or auto updates done to the OS?
CR 8.0 has been out of the support cycle for some time now.
As Microsoft suggested please log in and download the patches for CR 8.0 from:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/businessobjects-support
If that does not resolve the issue the only option will be to schedule sn IIS restart each night.

Crystal Reports: Print Engine Error when exporting a report

We recently upgraded from Crystal Reports 2008 to BusinessObjects Edge Series X3.1. When exporting a report to an excel data-only format we get "Crystal Reports: Print Engine Error". All other formats work fine. Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Anyone?

Crystal Reports when connecting to SAP ERP gives Logon Failed error

Hello Friends,
We are trying to implement the SAP Best Practices Crystal Reports and Xcleisus Dashboards for ERP. We are using BI 4.0 SP2, Crystal Reports 2011 SP2 and SAP ECC 6.0 FP 5.
We have done all configurations at the SAP end and successfully adpated a couple of Crystal Reports and they work fine.
My client machine crashed and I had to reinstall my Windows and all Client Tools. After the installation, when I tried to adapt a few more reports, I face the below problem:
After opeing the Crystal Report, when trying to Set the DataSource location, I select Create New Connection and select SAP Infosets. The SAP logon popup comes and I select the ECC system and enter the logon credentials for SAP ECC, I get an error message saying
Logon Failed.
Details: some square boxes.
The error doesnt really make any sense. Unfortunately, I am not able to test this scenario in any other machine as I am the only developer here. I am almost sure this is because of some configuration set up in my client machine,
Can some please help?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I recommend looking at a couple of things:
1) Do you have the latest Crystal transports installed with ECC? SP 2 has new transports. Check this subdirectory
Crystal Reports 2011\DATA_UNITS\CrystalReports\Collaterals\Add-Ons\SAP\Transports\unicode_compatible\cofiles
Use STMS to see if transports are installed
2) Are you using 3.1 ? Do you have the Integration Kit installed on ECC and client side?
