Crystal Report on Universe with MySQL ODBC

Hi
I created a report with Crystal reports by using a Universe based on MySQL ODBC. In my local (Windows XP) installed Report Designer everything is running fine. I'm also able to publish this report to my BOE, based on RHEL.
If I will refresh my report on InfoView, database credential are required, but my credential are not accepted. I only become a error message: Failed to open the connection
If I use Webi with the same universe and the same connection, everything is fine.
I have also change the ODBC version, but no other result.
Any idea, where I can trace this connection?
Versions:
Crystal Reports 2008 (12.0.0.683)
Business Objects Enterprise 3.0 (12.0.0.683)
MySQL ODBC 3.51.27 and 5.1.5
Thanks a lot
Christoph

Hi,
thank you very much for reply.
I think you got it. We have the goal to create a report that can be printed and is top-gloss-report for management ; ) One query would not be able to include all that stuff. It is very different.
So we created 7 different queries in SAP BW Query Designer and we want to put them together in BO Crystal Reports.
All Queries work with input variable for period and year. These input variables are used in the columns of the queries for calculating the key figures.
So, if we put these queries together into Crystal Reports, we should actually use "replacement path" for variables. But the sap.help says, that isn't doable.

  • How to get one crystal report to work with two different backends?

    We have a software that can work with either SQL2008 or Visual Fox Pro backend.  We are trying to compile One Crystal report that will work with either of the two backends.  How to you make sure that your Crystal Report is compiled so that it will work with both backends?
    Right now my reports were originally created using the SQL2008 backend and are retaining the DBO reference in the statement, which then will not allow the Crystal report to work with the VFP backend.

    You can write your data sets as a command using hand coded SQL. As long as "dbo" is the only schema used in your SQL Server database, you don't need to specify it in the SQL. SQL Server will automatically assume the dbo.
    The 2nd thing... The SQL needs to be 100% compatible with both SQL Server 2008 AND VFP.  This will limit the list available functions to those that are common to both platforms AND work exactly the same in both platforms.
    The other part is to make sure you are using an ODBC type connection instead of OLD/DB. That way all of the connection properties are set on the local machine and the report is simply looking for the System DSN name.

  • Need help Connecting Crystal Reports 8.5 with GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c

    Need help Connecting Crystal Reports 8.5 with GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c.  I need assistance on connecting these together so I can run a report.  I am not an IT person so if someone could dumb it down it would be great.
    Thanks,
    NBGHealth

    Hello,
    I assume GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c is some sort of database or data source? If you have an ODBC driver then create or use a System DSN to the database. Then you can create a report using that DSN.
    Otherwise I suggest you contact the makers of GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c and ask them how to connect to the database.
    Let them know CR is ANSII 92 ODBC 3 compliant.
    Thank you

  • Crystal Report 9 connectivity with WebLogic 10.3.5

    Hello,
    Is the Crystal Report 9 certified with WebLogic 10.x? Currently WebLogic 8.x is in use. Trying to upgrade the WebLogic.
    Thanks

    What does this have to do with Database Connectivity?
    An I doubt it, CR 9 is about 8 or 9 years old well before 10.3 was released. Check the Platforms PDF's for more info.

When there are more than 4 pages in the report, the summary field in the pagefooter(usually sum of data in the Details section) show 0 in the first page.It will be displaying in all other pages. I couldnt sort out the problem.I'm binding data to the report from an SQL Server 2005 table.

    Hi Sri......
    It is possible if you have SAP 8.8 and above version.

  • Crystal Reports 2008 Server and MySQL DataBase source for reports

    Hello,
    I am having an issue with crystal reports server 2008. I have created a report on my local machine with crystal reports and the datasource is a ODBC connection to a MySQL database.
    The report works fine on my local. if i publish to the Crystal Reports Server, i get an error when i try and run the report.
    "error Failed to open the connection. "
    I have gone into the database connections for this report and put in the connection details. I have also created a ODBC connection on the server in windows to the actual database (installed both the 32bit and 64bit ODBC drivers, both Test succesfully). But when i go into crystal no matter what settings i try it will not work.
    anyone have any ideas?
    kthank you

    I have solved the issues. This may be usefull for anyone ...
    1. Make sure on the developer machine you have your ODBC connection setup under the System DNS setting in windows.
    2. On the Crystal Report Server, the exact same setup must be done under System DNS, same name, etc
    Once this was done, everything was fixed.

  • Crystal Report XI - Accessing a mySQL DB

    My office just recently purchsed Crystal Report XI and the Crystal Server (hosted via contract). I (a non-IT type) have the pleasure of designing useful reports.
    My question is...how do I get the two to talk to eachother. I've inupt the Database IP, Port, Database Name, Userid and login in as many places as I could find with no success....
    The contracted company who hosts the server uses mySQL DB and is limited to providing the resource...not support or assistance.
    Any guidance offered would be greatly appreciated!!!
    Thanks,
    Adam

    Hi Adam,
    Wow.. you are in trouble... First CRS is a program that once you have reports created and then published to CRS your users can then run them.
    Question is is where is the database you are reporting off of? If it too is hosted on the same PC as CRS then your only option is to ask them how to connect. Likely you'll need a VPN tunnel or some access to get to the reporting database.
    Try creating an ODBC DSN to the server if you do have access that way. There is no direct MySQL driver so you'll need a local client installed also.
    I suggest you go back to the hosting company and ask them at least how you are supposed to connect since they are hosting your DB also I assume....
    For more info on how to use CR and CRS refer to the help files.
    Good luck

    Hi David,
    I've seen this before, your Video driver is out dated and you need to update it. Typically the makers of the mother board or video card, which ever one you are using, will have updates for your specific OS. Appears you are using the default Window generic video driver which may not support what CR requires or you have an older usp10.dll. You will likely get a new one if you install Windows XP Service Pack 3.
    Also, Crystal Reports version: 12.1.0.883 is SP 1 and not SP 2., second number is the Service Pack, 12.x.x.x.
    Download SP 4 and see if that may help:
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009989492010E/cr2008_sp3_fullbuild.zip
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100008782452011E/cr2008sp4.exe
    Or incrementally:
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009038092009E/cr2008win_sp2.exe
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123572010E/cr2008_sp3.exe
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100008782452011E/cr2008sp4.exe
    And you may need SP 3 or if you want to start off clean download the full build of SP 3 and then SP 4. Requires the keycode so make sure you have it, we can't give you a new one.

  • Crystal Reports not working with PL/SQL

    When I try and connect a Oracle stored procedure in ODBC using Oracle 8.1.7 client and Crystal 8 Reports I get the following error:
    ODBC error: [MERANT][ODBC Oracle 8 driver][Oracle 8]ORA-06550: line 1, column 13: PLS-00302: component 'TEST_PROCEDURE' must be declared

    This code worked just fine in Crystal Reports 7. Does anyone know how to get this to work? Any successful code snippets to share? I called Crystal Decisions Support with no luck at all.
    Thanks!

    Yes, the dialog is different than in Crystal 7 but the box is already checked.

  • Crystal Reports and Universe Connection (Access DB)

    Hi,
    I am trying to use a universe as a data source for Crystal Reports 2008. The universe is defined on a simple relational Access DB table (.mdb file which resides on the server). After selecting the universe as data source, I can select measures and attributes from it, but after clicking "ok" I am getting the error "Fehler bei Anmeldung." ("Logon failed.").
    Please note that although I am connecting to a relational (not OLAP!) DB, SAP-Note
    " 1363326 - Error: Logon failed on Crystal Report conecting to OLAP Universe."
    describes exactly the error I am facing (except that this note is for OLAP universes).
    The universe works fine if I use it in WebI as data soruce.
    Which universes can Crystal Reports 2008 actually use in general?
    Are there any special restrictions for the data model?
    Thanks for your help!

    Make sure that the Access DB is accessible also from the local workstation the CR Designer is installed on.
    In fact I would recommend to setup your universe connection to you the generic ODBC driver and setup a system DSN for accessing the DB once on your BO server and once on your client. Make sure to use the same DSN name in both cases.

  • Crystal Reports Dynamic Parameters with SAP Business One

    Okay, I've got this very strange issue with dynamic parameters in Crystal Reports connected to SAP Business One.
    Let's start with the software versions:
    - Crystal Reports 12.3.0.601
    - SAP Business One 8.8 (8.80.231) SP: 00 PL: 13
    - Windows XP SP3
    (SBO Server on Windows 2003 and SQL 2005)
    What I'm about to describe is something I've tried in several reports and for which I created a very, very simple test report to see if it was reproducible in a very simple situation.
    - I connected to a Business One server through CR's SBO connection type. Logon is successful, tables are shown.
    - I pick OCRD and plac CardCode and CardName in the details section on the report. Previewing the report shows data.
    - I create a dynamic parameter on CardCode and in the Select Expert I select the CardCode field and define that that should be equal to the parameter.
    - I preview the report again. Now it asks me in such a parameter screen for logon credentials. It shows the server and database it tries to connect to and in the username it shows the SQL Server username I used to connect to the SQL Server in the first place. However, the password for that user is not accepted. I also tried to login with the Windows administrator user and with the SBO manager user, but no success with any attempt.
    I also tried to add a static parameter and add all database values to the list. Same screen, different result:
    Crystal Reports 2008 wrote:
    Logon Failed.
    Error in File UNKNOWN.RPT:
    Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters. (rptcontrollers.dll)
    (On a side note: the report is saved as report1.rpt)
    Anyone else got similar issues and found a solution?

    Hi,
    When you have fixed your crystal installation following the note posted earlier, please take a look at the [how to guide|http://service.sap.com/sapidb/011000358700000882232009E.pdf] and also at the [e-learning|http://service.sap.com/sapidb/011000358700001370262010E] about SAP Business One 8.8 and Crystal Reports.
    There are so called "tokens" which you need to use instead of dynamic parameters.
    Dynamic paramters don't work in SAP Business One 8.8, if they are not defined as a static paramter with token.
    Best regards,
    Darius
