Crystal report server 2008 v1 connect to oracle error in win 64 bit

Dear Experts,
I have install crystal report server 2008 v1 in windows server 2008 64-bit, oracle client 10g 64 bit. When report connect to database, it 's has an error: Fail to load database information.
I tested on crystal report 2k8 v1 by : Open this report file , and preview, It has an error :
                     " Fail 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".
But, on win XP 32 bit, It's OK.
Could you please tell me how to fix it?
Thanks and Best Regards.

Hi,
first you must uninstall the 64 bit version.
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 "(" ")".
Regards
-Seb.

  • 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.

  • Connecting Crystal reports server 2008  to BI 7.0

    Hello,
    I  have a BI 7.0 server on Unix machine. I am trying to install crystal reports 2008 on windows 2003 server, and further integrate it to SAP BI by installing SAP integration kit. I have done the below.
    1) Installed crystal reports server 2008 on windows 2003 server.
    2) I can launch the CMS by start programs --> crystal reports server 2008 --> Central Management console.
    3) I enter my user id an password and can see the business object portal with all the entries in it,
    4) I have also installed SAP BOBJ integration kit (XI3.0) as well. It installs successfully. The only difference in the guide and what I did was, it dint prompt me for the CMS information, but it did when I was installing crystal reports server 2008.
    5) Now I am able to connect to CMS, but I donot find the SAP authentication tab, and the server details tab, as per the guide.
    I am a basis admin, and experimenting this for the 1st time. I need to set this up for one of the clients. They want to do some BI reporting through crystal reports. I have installed crystal reports server as of now. The client will now try to access it through CMS , by "InfoView". But CMS isnt giving me SAP auth tab, for me to go ahead and configure the SAP related settings.
    Any inputs on the same will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    AK

    Hi Ingo,
    Thanks for that reply..I am stuck now when I am trying to publish a report. I will summarize, what I have done so faar, just to make it easier to reply.
    1) Installed the BO edge series xi 3.1
    2) Installed Crystal report 2008
    3) Installed the BOBJ/SAP integration kit.
    4) Did the configuration steps as per the manual downloaded from SAP site named:"XI3-1_BIP_SAP_INSTALL_EN.pdf"
    I created create a report, but I am not able to publish it. I am clicking the option to directly publish it to enterprise.But its failing complaining regarding some BI roles..not sure...My BW publisher service is starting fine.
    Only thing is, I have created all the athorizations etc. i can also Log in to CMC with my BW credentials..So I am assuming BOE is atleast talking with SAP. But my my main aim is publishing reports on the server, which isnt happening when I save it with the above option.
    Ok..one more thing, i have not performed the steps for the SAP/BOBJ server side trust..I think this might be the reason as well..Wanted your opinion on it.
    Appreciate your input as always..
    Thanks,
    AK

  • Error when running a report in Crystal Reports Server 2008

    Received the following error message:
    Error in File Relatorio4: Failed to load database information.
    Or
    Error
    Failed to open the connection. Relatorio4 Details: [Database Vendor Code:
    12154 ]
    I'm trying to run a report Crystal Reports 2008 in Crystal Reports Server 2008.
    I use the native driver for Oracle (Oracle Server).
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Hi Vilari,
    Do a small test to test your connection.
    -Right Click on desktop ->
    Create new text document->
    Save as test.UDL->
    double click and test connection by selecting driver name,datasource name,user id and password.
    Click on Test Connection.
    It should be succeed.
    Database Vendor Code is the error returned by the database client/server.Its not a Crystal Report Error.Check Microsoft's web site for more info on what that error means.
    Likely the client has not been in stalled or configured or both.
    Also check that proper DSN is configured or not.
    As you are using Oracle make sure that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists and is in the proper place and accessible. See the operating system specific manual for details on the required name and location.
    Check to see that the service name exists in one of the TNSNAMES.ORA files and add it if necessary.
    Make sure there are no syntax errors anywhere in the file. Particularly look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters. Any error in a TNSNAMES.ORA file makes it unusable.
    Hope this helps

  • Do I need to uninstall Crystal Reports Server 2008?

    Hello,
    We recently installed Crystal Reports Server 2008 and began migrating reports off the CR Enterprise 9 platform and things were going pretty well.
    One of our other locations began moving over their reports that are ran against an Oracle database and cannot get passed a connectivity issue. We found the following:
    Oracle connectivity issues
    If you are installing Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1 on a 64-bit Windows
    platform, Oracle database connectivity issues may occur. If Crystal Reports
    Server 2008 V1 is installed to a location that contains brackets in the folder
    path, for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\, it will be unable to connect
    to an Oracle database. Certain Oracle database clients such as version
    10.2.0.2 or 10.1.0.2, may not function properly with any application that
    has brackets in its folder path. When installing Crystal Reports Server 2008
    V1, select an installation path that does not contain brackets, such as
    C:\Program Files x86\ or contact Oracle support for an updated database
    client.
    We of course have everything installed in the default (x86) folder. My question is, is there a way to move the installation, or do I need to uninstall/re-install? If I need to re-install, is there a way to back-up and reload all of my existing jobs?

    Hello,
    CR must have the Oracle client installed. Unless you use a Wired Driver, which has the client engine built in, CR requires a client to be installed. It never has worked without the client installed.
    Also, I've found that if you have more than one Oracle client installed it causes problems. Make sure the first one in the PATH statement points to the latest version of the client.
    And yes you are correct, ODBC is a layer on top of the native client so it will be slower obviously because it has to go through one more layer of dll's to get to the server.
    Thanks again

  • Crystal Reports Server 2008 dispose not closing document

    Hey everyone,
    I;m running some reports through Crystal reports 2008 server (no service packs) using the RAS sdk and Java.
    This was working swimmingly for a while until yesterday when the server hosting the RAS and app server fell over. I tracked it down to a problem with the RAS server. The error i got in my logs was General Exception, Report SDK Exception Not enough memory for operation.  I reran the process and when i watched task manager the memory being allocated to crystalras.exe went through the roof! it went from 50k to 1.8g of ram in under 10 minutes.
    I tried lots of the other suggestions in here for the errors about memory that are similar to mine (increasing the heap memory etc.) and none of them worked.
    One thing i noticed though is that when I run the process and watch the metrics page of the RAS server on the management console the number of Open documents does not decrease even though i am 100% totally and utterly calling .close and .dsipose after every report i open. Definitely. Ive debugged it a million times and it is calling these methods. It is successfully releasing the connections fine but does not seem to releasing the open documents. After the Open documents metric went down to 0 (im presuming after a timeout) the memory that crystalras.exe was reduced. I then  changed the timeout tag in CRConfig.xml to 1 minute to see would this help out any but the open documents did not timeout any faster.
    Would i be right in thinking that these open documents would be causing my problem of the aggregated memory? Im at my wits end here so any piece of help is greatly appreciated!

    Hi Ted,
    Thank you for getting back to me, i was on vacation there for a while so that is why i didnt get back to you.
    When I call reportClientDocument.isOpen() just before i dispose of the report it is true and after i dispose of it it correclty returns false.
    I am really stressing out over this as we are reduced to running 500 reports through the server (one after another) and then stopping the process and restarting the RAS server and then running another 500 reports.
    crystalras.exe gets up to about 2g of ram consumed for only 500 reports.
    I even changed some of the timeout settings on the settings page of the management console to see would they timeout and release the memory but alas it didnt release as much as a byte. I left it for 3 days and it didnt deallocate one piece of memory.
    Im currently investigating is there some way from my code that I can restart the RAS server, either through the SDK or through a windows process or scheduled task.
    Ted, as far as i can see there are no service packs for Crystal Reports Server 2008, is that right? when i go to the downloads page there only ones listed for release X1.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Crystal Reports Server 2008 Installation Error

    Good day,
    My name is Dominic Hung and I work at Business Objects.  One of my clients is coming across an installation error on their evaluation of CRS 2008 and is detailed as follows:
    They currently have the actual report writer (Crystal Reports 2008) on a desktop PC.  It's not installed on the server.
    We have the MySQL ODBC loaded on the local desktop as well as the server that is hosting CR2008 Server.
    The credentials (userid/password) used in both the desktop and server's ODBC configuration is READ ONLY.
    During the installation wizard for CR2008 Server, I key in the userid & password that I use when we create reports, but I receive an error stating that
    CMS database error: STU000226
    BusinessObjects Enterprise CMS: Unable to connect to the CMS system database "esc:10.127.214.22:3306".  Reason: Database access error. Reason access denied for user 'jdcherry'@'% to database 'esc'
    This is where everything stops and they can't go further. They are not sure why they are receiving the "access denied" error as shown above.  They have no problem connecting to the MySQL database when they create a report using CR2008, the CR2008 SERVER won't accept my credentials during the installation.
    QUESTIONS: 
    The "jdcherry" UserID (which I use) is READ ONLY on the MySQL database that's hosted on the Linux box.  Does the userID have to have higher priviledges than just READ ONLY in order to validate the database credentials? 
    If so, what level of access is required?
    Does the installation of CR Server update any of the tables that are stored on the MySQL database?
    Do we need to install the Crystal Reports 2008 on the server in order for Crystal Reports 2008 SERVER to work?
    What other workarounds can be done for the client?  The windows server they have Crystal Reports Server 2008 installed on has web services enabled but are continuing to come across issues.  Any insight for the client would be greatly appreciated.

    Does the userID have to have higher priviledges than just READ ONLY in order to validate the database credentials?
    The userID used when installing CRS must have dba previleges (create/drop tables) on the schema.
    Does the installation of CR Server update any of the tables that are stored on the MySQL database?
    You should create a new schema/DSN for the CMS db. The installation of CRS creates 8 new tables.
    Do we need to install the Crystal Reports 2008 on the server in order for Crystal Reports 2008 SERVER to work?
    No
    All this information is in the BOE XI3.0 Installation Guide.

  • Crystal reports server 2008 VI questions

    I aplogixze if I am asking many questions in the same thread. If so please let me know. and I'll create seperate threads.
    Questions with Crystal reports server 2008 VI
    1. In my current VS2005 web application with CR 2008 developer I have done the following :
    a. When the user selects a report it prompts for the database that is needs to connect. User could select Test or Live database
    b. I could hide the export button for each report
    c. Add the same report twice to the same folder under diffrent report descriptions
    Could I do the same with Crystal reports server 2008 VI?
    2. I have added a report that connects to the SQL server and also I set up the required ODBC for the report on the server. I could run the report without any issue.
    When I add the same report to another folder in CMC or add a new report that uses the same connection, and try to run it, I get the following error.
    I did set location and verify database in Crystal designer many times and added the report into CMC, but still it gives me the error.
    However the first report that I added still works fine. For some reports it shows the parameter screen and when I enter them and click OK it gives the same error. I checked the logon information and they are correct. Reports work fine in Crystal designer.
    error message:
    "The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect"

    I assume that you have built your reports with the CR Designer 2008 V1. Try to open the affected report in the CR Designer and select Database->VErify database and save it back into the repository. Does it work?

  • Crystal Reports Server 2008 - RAS API ReportAppSession.initialize() fail

    Hi,
    We have a servlet (running on Websphere 6.1 container) trying to connect to Crystal Reports Server 2008 using RAS Java API to open unmanaged reports.
    It fails at the very beginning of ReportAppSession.initialize() with error message:
    com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKServerException: Unable to connect to the server: HQ-ROSIE03. - Connection refused: connect-- Error code:-2147217387 Error code name:connectServer
    HQ-ROSIE03 is the server name hosting CRS 2008. I try to pass in either HQ-ROSIE03 or HQ-ROSIE03:1566 to setReportAppServer(), but no help.
    On CRS2008, I checked from Central Management Console that all servers are up and running. I also add "-ipport 1566" to the commandline of ReportApplicationServer from CMC. It does not help either.
    Would you please tell me what might cause the problem based on the error code and message? Thank you.
    Here is the code.
            try
              ReportAppSession reportAppSession = new ReportAppSession();
              reportAppSession.createService(
              "com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.ReportClientDocument");
              //HQ-ROSIE03 is the server name that hosts Crystal Reports Server 2008.
              //I tried to pass in the port number, i.e "HQ-ROSIE03:1566". But it got the same exception.
              reportAppSession.setReportAppServer("HQ-ROSIE03");
              // This is where the exception is thrown.
              reportAppSession.initialize();
              ReportClientDocument lo_ReportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();

    There is a typo when adding -ipport 1566 to the RAS server command from CMC.
    It is now resolved.

  • 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.

  • Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1, RedHat Enterprise Linux, MySQL, ODBC

    Iu2019m confused about connecting to an ODBC source from a report within CMC. Iu2019m a Unix guy; I donu2019t know much about Crystal reports, but Iu2019m working with a Crystal guy to get this thing working.
    <br><br>
    First, background: I have installed Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1 in RedHat Enterprise Linux (5.4), and itu2019s running just fine! Iu2019m using the included Tomcat application server, but Iu2019m storing CMS and Audit data our local running copy of MySQL (5.1.42). The RHEL install is native 32-bit (the only way I could get it to work), Crystal is storing and retrieving data from MySQL, The Central Management Console is responding to port 8080 over Tomcat, Iu2019m able to log in and see stuff, and so far, life is good.
    <br><br>
    Now, where Iu2019m stuck: the data weu2019re trying to build reports from <i>also</i> resides in this local Linux / MySQL install, and connecting to it from a report within CMC is where Iu2019m lost.
    <br><br>
    First, I successfully installed the unixODBC and MyODBC drivers in Linux. Iu2019m able to connect to MySQL successfully using the isql utility. Here are my conf files:
    <br><br>
    <pre class="jive-pre"><code class="jive-code jive-java">/etc/odbc.ini
    [DSN_NAME]
    Driver = MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver
    DATABASE = project_web_prod
    DESCRIPTION = Project Description
    UID = username
    PWD = password
    SOCKET = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
    /etc/odbcinst.ini
    [MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver]
    Driver = /usr/lib/libmyodbc5.so
    UsageCount = 1
    </code></pre>
    <br>
    Again, this all works with isql (Iu2019ve even used both a socket connection, and port 3306, in odbc.ini).
    <br><br>
    Now, our Crystal guy uploads a report into the CMC. I go to <i>Folders -> <Project Folder></i>, right-click the report I want to test, click <i>Database Configuration</i>, and check the option <i>Use custom database login information specified here</i>. I select database driver <i>ODBC</i> from the dropdown, and type in the server, database, username, and password info. However, when I try to run the report, it fails to connect.
    <br><br>
    So, stupid question, can Crystalu2019s CMC use the system ODBC configuration options? (The ones stored in /etc). Because I saw an odbc.ini file in ~crystalinstalldir/bobje/. I edited it to match the contents of my /etc/odbc[inst].ini files, but to no avail. I saw that Crystal has itu2019s own ODBC engine, but it doesnu2019t support MyODBC driver, does it? I even tried hacking env.sh to use the system unixODBC library instead of the included one, but no luck.
    <br><br>
    So, in short, my question: how do I simply get reports in CMC to connect to a MySQL data source (using ODBC)?
    <br><br>
    Thanks so much! An answer to this question will save my day!
    <br><br>

    Thank you, Efstratios, for the helpful reply!
    So, I followed the directions in the PDF file you attached, and everything went smoothly. However, Iu2019m still not able to connect to ODBC within CMC.
    Hereu2019s what I did:
    <ul style="list-style-type:disc">
    <li>Copied the unixODBC libraries over to &lt;installdir&gt;/bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86/odbc/lib</li>
    <li>Removed MySQL ODBC connector 5.1, installed MySQL ODBC connector 3.51.</li>
    <li>Edited &lt;installdir&gt;/bobje/defaultodbc.ini, added my DSN and MySQL library info as per the instructions (I have both an odbc.ini, and defaultodbc.ini, identical files, just to be safe)</li>
    <li>Tested the connection using these libraries, this odbc.ini, and isql. Worked just fine</li>
    </ul>
    So, my problem seems to be in getting the CMC to actually <i>use</i> my ODBC setup!
    Any other hints / things I could try?
    When I right-click a report, and go to &ldquo;Database Configuration,&rdquo; which connection options should I use for the report? Iu2019ve tried both &ldquo;Use original database logon information from the report,&rdquo; and &ldquo;Use custom database logon information specified here&rdquo; (using the ODBC option from the drop-down menu). Either way, if I enter in the database, username, password, and then try to run the report (&ldquo;Run Now&rdquo;), I get this message in the History: &ldquo;Failed - Information is needed before this report can be processed.&rdquo;
    Is there another place I could get a more helpful error message? Or is there, perhaps, another way I could test database connectivity from within CMC? I wish there were at least a &ldquo;Test Database Connection&rdquo; optionu2026 :P
    Thanks so much for your help!

  • How to get past Crystal Reports Server 2008 Linux install error

    Hi,
         During the install of Crystal Reports Server 2008 on Red Hat Linux we select use an existing DB (Oracle) and it prompts for:
    Crystal Reports Server 2008 Setup
    Enter the information for your new CMS
    Oracle TNSNAME :
    [SANDBOX                     ] *
    User ID :
    [crystal_rpt                 ] *
    Password :
    which then gives me:
    Crystal Reports Server 2008 Setup
    ERROR
    Failure to validate the database credential has a potential to crash the database at a later stage. Enter the correct information.
    It doesn't let me get past this and just send me back to the previous screen.  I've check and re-checked and the information TNSNAME, User ID, and Password are all correct.  Now I can exit out the install and sqlplus to the database just fine with all that same information.
    What does this error mean?  And how do I get past it?
    Thanks,
