Crystal Reports XI is unable to connect to Oracle database

I try to Create New Conection in y Crystal Reports XI using OLE DB(ADO) ,Microsoft OLD DB Provider for Oracle.
I entered the right Connection Information for Service, User ID and Pasword and then hit the Finish button.
I get the following error message.
Login Failed.
Detail: ADO Error CodeL 9x80004005
Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle
Description: Oracle client and networking components wer not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3.3 or later client software installation.
Provider is unable to function until these components are installed.
Where can I get these components?
How can I install them?
What should I do to get successfully connected to my Oracle database?
Please guide me.
Thanking in advance.

Hi Samy,
I did some checking and found the old platforms text file for which servers we supported:
Crystal Reports Data Sources
=======================================
Report Data Source              Database Client             
Oracle 8.1.7                  Oracle Net client 9.2 (Native)
                                ODBC Oracle 9.2
                                JDBC Oracle 9.2
                                OLEDB Oracle 9.2
Oracle 9.2                    Oracle Net client 9.2 (Native)     
                                ODBC Oracle 9.2
                                JDBC Oracle 9.2
                                OLEDB Oracle 9.2
Oracle 10.1                   Oracle Net client 10.1 (Native)  
                                ODBC Oracle 10.1
                                JDBC Oracle 10.1
                                OLEDB  Oracle 10.1
As you can see we needed the 9.2 client. I do recall now there were UNICODE issues with earlier versions and 9.2 was the fix which is why we supported the 8 server but with the 9 client.
So not sure why it worked previously but likely because Windows 7 doesn't have the dependencies XP would have had it may be the reason....
Bottom line is you are not on a supported platform so we have not done much testing ourselves on how to get around these issues....
Thanks again
Don

  • Unable to connect to Oracle database on RHEL4

    Hi,
    I have completed installation of Oracle 10g release 2. on RHEL 4.
    On logging on to the RHEL 4 machine, I am able to start Oracle database and use sqlplus.
    However, I am unable to connect to it from my desktop, which is windows xp. The tnsnames.ora file in the windows desktop has been updated. However its not able to connect to this machine. The RHEL4 machine is configured with DHCP. Could this be the problem? I would not be able to configure it with static IP, is there a way to configure it with DHCP? tnsping does not identify the database instance either. I get the following error.
    TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
    Regards,
    Rishikesh

    rishikesh,
    On the RHEL4 machine
    1. check the listener:
    -check if the service name of your database is registered
    -check on which NIC/ip address the listener is listening
    2. check if you can login using TCP
    -do a tnsping of the connection descriptor you are using
    If both tests succeed, go to the client (windows XP machine)
    1. check if the RHEL4 machine responds to the ping command
    if that works:
    2. check if the hostname used in ping is the same as the hostname in the connectstring
    3. check if the service name in the connectstring is the same as in the listener
    4. check if the port number in the connectstrings is the same as in the listener

    Hello Mark,
    Thank you for your reply.
    I tried installing Oracle R Enterprise but I got stuck again, this time apparently because I do not have Oracle database 11.2.0.3 but rather 11.2.0.1.0.
    So I would like to ask you if there is some way of using RODM, or some other way of having R access to ODM algorithms?
    Thank you,

  • The Crystal Report Viewer is unable to create its resource objects

    Recently our Clients have updated to Windows 7 and IE8. we are having issues to view the Reports in Infoview.
    The web server operating server is Windows 2003, Crystal Reports XI Release 2  and BOE R2 SP2 is installed in it. Activex Viewer is downloading fine in client machine having Windows XP OS (IE Version is 7) but for the same url ActiveXViewer.cab is not getting downloaded in Windows 7 Enterprise (IE Version is 8). It throws the error u201CThe Crystal Report Viewer is unable to create its resource objects.u201D
    Does BOE R2 SP2 support on IE8?
    Thanks

    Tested Windows 7 And IE8 browser to view Reports in Infoview for different user preference setting.

  • "Crystal Report Viewer is unable to create its resource objects"

    I'm using Crystal Reports Server XI and getting the error/pop up box: "Crystal Report Viewer is unable to create its resource objects" when trying to view a report through the website.
    Any suggestions would be appreiciated. I'm very unfamiliar with Crystal Reports but it's fallen into my lap to install and suppor this application.
    I have tried changing some browser settings to allow ActiveX content and such but that hasn't seemed to help. I also tried downloading a particular 3 .dll's files to my desktop and registering them, as well as re-registering them on the server. They were CRVIEWER.dll, swebrs.dll, sviewhlp.dll.
    I'm using IE 7.0 and CR Server XI is installed in a Windows 2003 R2 SE server.  IIS seems to be setup OK.  I haven't changed any of the default installation settings that were configured during the installation on the virtual directory that was created.  I received no errors during the installation.  I'm also not seeing anything obvious pop up in the event logs.  I still have yet to do a log parser query looking for anything that says crystal reports.
    Thanks!

    Hi Wendy,
    This issue might be better addressed by our .NET development forum,  however,  some of the things that come to mind are:
    1.  As a test are you able download the Active X Viewer from the client machine by accessing it via a URL:
    http:// <yourserver>/crystalreportviewers/ActiveXControls/ActiveXViewer.cab
    Does it prompt you do download the .CAB file?
    2.  If you have more than one version of the Active X Viewer installed on the client machine,  go through this SAP Note (1215398) from the Service Market Place to remove it.
    3.  Check your browser settings (Tools|Security|Custom Level) to make sure Active Controls are set to at least prompt.
    4.  Confirm with your network administrator if there are group policies that restrict the installation of Active X Controls or if users do not have the rights to install.
    Regards,
    Wallie

  • Unable to connect to specified database

    I am using Reports 6i as part of a iAS server.
    From my application I can request a report and have it produced
    and then try running it again and have it return the message
    REP-0501 Unable to connect to specified database. There is no
    pattern to when it works and when it doesn't. It does seem to
    fail more when you change to a different report but it will also
    happen if you try the same report.
    I've checked the tnsnames file and it correctly has the database
    information.
    It is also happening on a second server as well. Both are new
    installs. Both iAS servers are NT connected to a Unix database.
    Connection to the database is done by a name server and
    connections using SQLPLUS have no problem.
    Critical issue to user, any ideas?

    This is a bug and is fixed in 10.1.2.3. Bug#5691620
    Please refer to mealik Note 414057.1

  • Unable to Connect to the database in RCU, Oracle11g XE on Laptop/Windows

    Software downloaded unzipped and installed from OTN
    OBIEE foundation 11.1.1.5
    Repository Creation Utility 11.1.1.5
    Oracle Database Express Edition 11.2
    Issues
    1. I installed Oracle 11g express edition. I am able to start/stop and run sql against the database however the homepage ("get started " accessed from Start > Programs > Oracle Database 11g XE > Get Started) does not work. This i will post in a separate thread but I am writing this anyway just in case it has some relevance.
    2, This is the one I need help with. Can you confirm that these are the parameters when I hit the "create" option in RCU because I get the error message saying I cannot connect.
    Hostname:This is the same as the hostname, when I go to cmd prompt like below
    C:>hostname<enter> That is what I am using.
    Port and Service :Can you confirm, Port = "1521" and Service = "XE". 1521 is the Database listener port when I installed Oracle 11g Database Express Edition. I am not putting the quotes in the boxes in the RCU.
    Should the service be OracleServiceXE - i have tried it but does not work.
    Anyway I get this message:
    Unable to connect to the database using the provided details.
    Please enter a valid hostname and port or check if the listener is up and running.
    Any ideas appreciated.
    By the way My lsnrctl status returns the following: (meaning the listeners are up!0

    Hi,
    Like Abhi said, check your tnsnames.ora file to check the port number and service name is correct or not for the Express Edition database you have installed.
    and when you are running RCU installer, Please give system adminstrator account of OracleXE like 'sys' or 'system' account with confirmed port number and service name.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Bose

  • Unable to connect to MySQL Database using MX

    I am unable to connect to MySQL database hosted on a remote
    server. I get the following error message:
    "HTTP Error Code 404 File Not Found. Here are some possible
    reason for the problem:
    1) There is no testing server running on the server machine.
    2) The testing server specified for this site does not map to
    the
    http://72.9.255.2/~keyitems/_mmServerScripts/MMHTTPDB.php
    URL. Verify that the URL Prefix maps to the root of the site."
    I have specified a testing server. My url is "
    http://72.9.255.2/~keyitems/........."
    For the URL prefix to the site's root folder, I listed the
    following:
    1.
    http://72.9.255.2/~keyitems/
    this did not work. I got the above error message.
    2.
    http://72.9.255.2/ this did not work
    also. I got the above error message.
    Any input would be great as I do not know where to start !!!
    Thank you

    Hi Ravi
    Glad to hear you solved this. It is very gratifying when one solves it alone, don't you think?
    Best wishes

  • Application cannot proceed. Internal error occured. Contact your administrator. Error msg: Unable to connect to the database. Please make sure the database information specified in admin/includes/config.php are correct.

    After clicking in email link, I get the following message on Firefox page : " The application cannot proceed!
    An internal error occured. Please contact your administrator and describe the steps you took before you encounter this error message.Error msg: Unable to connect to the database. Please make sure the database information specified in admin/includes/config.php are correct."
    The email asked to install the latest Adobe Flashplayer version to have it working. I installed it, also updated my plug-ins and checked in safe mode that the extensions were not the problem. I also deleted the cookies an cache. Nothing seems to be working so far. I have the lastest version of Firefox 8.0.1 as well as Roboform 7. I noticed that the latest Firefox version has (x86) tagged to it. Does it refers to an 86 bits because my computer uses 32 or 64 bits only. I tried also different browsers and the message kept appearing. How do I resolve this problem?
