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.

  • Crystal Report Server 2008 Import Issues - Missing report schedules/history

    Hello all,
    I have recently on a test machine installed Crystal Report Server 2008 V0. I then created several test reports and put them on the server and created schedules and a history for each one.
    Once this was done I exported the information into a BIAR file. Uninstalled CR Server 2008 V0 and installed CR Server 2008 V1 SP3.
    I then imported this BIAR file. After the import my reports are there, but all schedules and history are lost? Is there a way around this? How can I ensure all schedules are brought over in the import?
    Please note I followed this workflow: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/5048d962-8fa6-2c10-e2ae-d32b3562cb9c
    Comments on it seem to indicate this is a common issue.
    Thanks!

    Good day Philippe,
    You have been able to solve my issue, thank you! In following the instructions I didn't notice the "Import all instances" tick box, I simply assumed hitting select all would work and glazed right over it. So this was certainly user error on my part.
    Thank you so much for the information!

  • Reports 6i without report server, can I run schedule report job ?

    I use Reports 6i, no Report Server, can I run schedule job to print reports in the midnight?....In server side is better, but if in client side will be ok...
    Thanks

    Yes, you can run a schedule job to print reports at a scheduled time. Below is how (done in command prompt):
    h:\>at /?
    The AT command schedules commands and programs to run on a computer at
    a specified time and date. The Schedule service must be running to use
    the AT command.
    AT [\\computername] [ [id] [DELETE] | /DELETE [YES]]
    AT [\\computername] time [INTERACTIVE]
        [ /EVERY:date[,...] | /NEXT:date[,...]] "command"
    \\computername     Specifies a remote computer. Commands are scheduled on the
                       local computer if this parameter is omitted.
    id                 Is an identification number assigned to a scheduled
                       command.
    /delete            Cancels a scheduled command. If id is omitted, all the
                       scheduled commands on the computer are canceled.
    /yes               Used with cancel all jobs command when no further
                       confirmation is desired.
    time               Specifies the time when command is to run.
    /interactive       Allows the job to interact with the desktop of the user
                       who is logged on at the time the job runs.
    /every:date[,...]  Runs the command on each specified day(s) of the week or
                       month. If date is omitted, the current day of the month
                       is assumed.
    /next:date[,...]   Runs the specified command on the next occurrence of the
                       day (for example, next Thursday).  If date is omitted, the
                       current day of the month is assumed.
    "command"          Is the Windows NT command, or batch program to be run.
    h:\>for "command" - you may want to consider writing a batch program to call your report.
    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

  • Missing column at the end of report in Crystal report server 2008 VI

    When we run the reports in Crystal report server 2008 VI, for some reports we see the last column is missing some characters. I have few reports that show numbers with decimals at the end of the report, but in CMC it cuts the number at the start of the decimal. I only see the numbers upto the decimal. When I run the same report in Crystal designer, everything works fine.
    I had the same problem with CR developer 2008 and I used the following code to fix it:
    Private Sub SetMargins(ByVal myReportDocument As ReportDocument, ByVal left As Integer, ByVal top As Integer, ByVal right As Integer, ByVal bottom As Integer)
            Dim myPageMargins As PageMargins
            myPageMargins = myReportDocument.PrintOptions.PageMargins
            myPageMargins.leftMargin = left
            myPageMargins.topMargin = top
            myPageMargins.rightMargin = right
            myPageMargins.bottomMargin = bottom
            myReportDocument.PrintOptions.ApplyPageMargins(myPageMargins)
        End Sub
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    HI Don,
    Install the same default printer as what you have onto the CRS server then what you should be the same. Also, which viewer are you using, ActiveX, DHTML or Java on the CRS Server?

  • Crystal Reports Server 2008 on Windows 2003 Server

    We have Crystal Reports Server 2008 installed on Windows 2003 Server. Pretty standard install.
    On the same Windows 2003 Server, we have IIS setup to host some other sites (data.mycompany.com, intranet.mycompany.com). Now since Crystal Reports Server 2008 is running through Apache Tomcat 5.5.20 that is installed with Crystal Reports Server 2008. I need to setup something like reports.mycompany.com for reporting server. Since it is not in IIS and it does not seem that this install of Tomcat allows you to set this up to point to reports.mycompany.com. I need some feedback on how to set this up.

    Hello Shannon,
    I recommend to post this query to the [BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration|BI Platform; forum.
    This forum is dedicated to topics related to administration and configuration of BusinessObjects Enterprise, BusinessObjects Edge, and Crystal Reports Server.
    It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
    Also, all BOE Administration queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

  • 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

  • Unable to Run Report on Crystal Reports Server 2008

    I have a weird issue with one particular report. The report is quite basic in which it dumps all of our patients via a single table from SQL Server. There are no parameters or select experts. The report has been written to group by the patient's SSN. I then have a formula written that hides all of the patients that only appear once under that SSN. Basically, the report is only displaying patients with duplicate SSN. The report works fine inside of Crystal Reports 2008. There is approximately 137,000 rows and after the formula to only show duplicates, it shows about 900 records. This report takes only 6 seconds to run inside of Crystal Reports 2008. However, when I upload the report onto Crystal Reports Server 2008, the report starts to load and then I get a message from Internet Explorer that says  "Stop Running this Script." If I continue to let the script run, Internet Explorer grows to use 3.6GB of memory and the report never loads. I am not sure why this is the only report that is having a problem. Is there some maximum number of groups that Crystal has?

    I have checked the following directories and I haven't been able to see any errors related to my problem. I checked C:\Windows\system32\logfiles and C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\logging. However, if I schedule the report, it works just fine. I just can't run the report on demand without receving the "Stop Running Scripts" error.

    But you can install the 32bit version on a 64bit OS.

    Hi,
    Running,
    Crystal Reports Server 2008 v1.
    MySQL database
    Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.5
    Redhat Enterprise Linux 5
    When running the a report I receive this,

    The database I am trying to running the report on is Oracle. Do I need to install some Oracle drivers (client)? Also, shouldn't the Oracle Application Server have drivers?
    I have also read a few ports stating the drivers are included with the crystal reports install ... true or false?
    Thanks.

    Still no go ..
    Installed the Oracle Client (type: runtime) and set,
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/data/oracle/oracle1/client/11gR2/lib"
    And restarted the Oracle Application Server.
    Any other ideas?

  • 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.

  • 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
