Data source change while migrating report to another server

Hi all.
I have actually two questions:
1) How exactly works the data source connection in CR? If I create a package in database and then connect it with my report, what happens in time of creating the report? Does the CR use the current package version stored in DBS or use the package in version when it be connected with report (so it looks like the CR loaded the code inside the report and are resistant to all changes in dbs)? If the second option is right (I think it is, unfortunately), can it be somehow changed?
2) And now - If I create report and connect it with data source (database package) in development server and then I want just to move the completed and functional report to test server (and then other environments), is there any possibility to change automatically the data source to test server database? Everything is the same on DEV and TEST servers and their databases, except data, of course.
The imagination that after creating some reports and migrating them to another environment I have to open all of them and manually change the data source is very very bad.
Thanks for answers!

Hi Filip,
I don't think I understand the first question.
For the second one though, if you want your reports to work seamlessly across environments then you should have your reports connect to the database using an ODBC System DSN.
Each Envinronment (Dev, Test and Prod) should have the same DSN Name with each DSN pointing to the respective database sever.

Trying to change the data source for a Crystal Report.

The method below represents my best attempt to programatically change the data source of a Crystal Report. The goal is to have a routine that will update the data source for reports after they have been distributed to production servers. So far I have not been successful in saving the report back to the CMS. No exceptions are thrown, but when I view the Database Configuration of the report in the CMC nothing has changed.


Am I missing a step, or is there another way to accomplish this?


Thank you.

Justin,

Thank you for the reply. Time constraints have not allowed me to post back to this tread
till now. I will try your suggestion. My assumption is that Save the report back to the
info store refers to IInfoStore.commit(IInfoObjects).


I'm afraid that I do not understand why I don't want to change the report client document,
or why successfully exporting the report with the new login/password is not what I
want to do. Any explanation on that statement would be appreciated.


I did find a way to accomplish my goal. It involved adding the SSOKEY property to the
logon property bag. Below you'll see my revised code which modifies the report logon and
server. I have no idea what
this does, and SAP support has not been able to tell me why it works. However, what I
discovered is that if I changed the report option, Database Configuration -> When
viewing report:, in the CMS to Use same database logon as when report
is run from Prompt the user for database logon, then the
SSOKEY property had been added to the logon property bag having an empty string as its
value. This allowed me to successfullyupdate and save the modified logon back to the CMS.


So I took a chance and added code to always add the SSOKEY property with an empty string
as its value, and I could then successfully modify and save the report's logon info
and server. Again, I don't know what this means, but it has worked so far. If anyone has
some insight or comments, either are welcome. Thank you in advance.

I don't know how to determine which server the DBAdapter is targetted to.
But I found the following information:
Under Deoloyment->DBAdapter->Monitoring->Outbound Connection Pools

eis/DB/SOADemo soa_server1 Running 1 1

eis/DB/soademoDatabase soa_server1 Running 1 1
The DbAdapter is related to the following files:
C:\ Oracle\ Middleware\ home_11gR1\ Oracle_SOA1\ soa\ connectors\ DbAdapter. rar
C:\ Oracle\ Middleware\ home_11gR1\ Oracle_SOA1\ soa\ DBPlan\ Plan. xml
I unzipped DbAdapter.rar, opened weblogic-ra.xml and found that there's only one data source is registered:

Then I decided to use eis/DB/SOADemo for testing.
For JDeveloper project, after I deployed to weblogic server, it works fine.
But for OSB project referencing wsdl, jca and mapping file from JDeveloper project, still got the same error as follows:

You may need to configure the connection settings in the deployment descriptor (i.e. DbAdapter.rar#META-INF/weblogic-ra.xml) and restart the server. This exception is considered not retriable, likely due to a modelling mistake.
It almost drive me crazy!!:-(
What's the purpose of 'weblogic-ra.xml' under the folder of 'C:\Oracle\Middleware\home_11gR1\Oracle_OSB1\lib\external\adapters\META-INF'?

How to update a table (CUSTOMER) on a Report Server with the data from the same table (CUSTOMER) from another server Transaction server?

I had an interview question that is:
How to update a table (Customer) on a server ex: Report Server with the data from the same table (Customer) From another server ex: Transaction server?
Set up steps so inset, update or delete operation takes place across the servers.
It would be great if someone please enlighten me in details about this process in MS SQL Server 2008 R2.
Also please describe would it be different for SQL Server 2012?
If so, then what are the steps?

XML and Web Service Data Source Missing in Crystal Reports for VS

I would like to use a Web Service as the data source for a Crystal Report that will be running outside of my Visual Studio application. So setting the data source to the web service in code is not possible. My understanding is Crystal Reports has a connection (in the Database Expert under New Connection) named XML and Web Service. Here you can select web service and enter the WSDL URL for the web service. However it does not appear in the list for Crystal Reports for Visual Studio. Does this connection type come with the Visual Studio version of Crystal Reports and if not is their a way to obtain it?
Thank you for your assistance.

None of the bundled versions of CR have the driver. Reason is that the driver responsible for these connections requires the Java framework and I suspect MS would not be too pleased if we installed the Java framework. The stand alone versions, since they are not part of any bundle can and do install the Java framework and the driver. Note that even the latest release of CR - CRVS2010 does not have the driver as it essentially becomes a bundle or a VS2010 plug-in.
So, the short of it is; you have to obtain a stand-alone version of CR. I'd recommend CR 2008 (12.x) as CRXI R2 will run out of support in June of this year.

Stored Procedure used as a data source for an Apex report

Just wondering whether anyone has used a Stored Procedure as the data source for an Apex report. An option to select Stored Procedures(s) as the data source does not appear within the IDE (only displays Table, Views, Functions).
Do you have to return the definition of the Stored Procedure via a function ... if so, how is this done ?
Thank you.

Welcome to the forum: please read the FAQ and forum sticky threads (if you haven't done so already), and update your profile with a real handle instead of "920338".
When you have a problem you'll get a faster, more effective response by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
<li>Full APEX version
<li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
<li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
<li>Theme
<li>Template(s)
<li>Region/item type(s)
With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.
Just wondering whether anyone has used a Stored Procedure as the data source for an Apex report. An option to select Stored Procedures(s) as the data source does not appear within the IDE (only displays Table, Views, Functions).
Do you have to return the definition of the Stored Procedure via a function ... if so, how is this done ? When asking a question about "reports" it's firstly essential to differentiate between standard and interactive reports. Standard reports can be based on tables, views, SQL queries, or PL/SQL function blocks that return the text of a SQL query. Interactive reports can only be based on a SQL query.
"Stored Procedures" are therefore not an option (unless you are using the term loosely to describe any PL/SQL program unit located in the database, thus including functions). What would a procedure used as the source of a report actually do? Hypothetically, by what mechanisms would the procedure (a) capture/select/generate data; and (b) make this data available for use in an APEX report? Why do you want to base a report on a procedure?

Advice on Promoting Master Data Services Changes from one environment to another, e.g. DEV to UAT

Hi,
Has anyone got experience of creating a script to promote Master Data Services changes from one environment to another, e.g. Development to Production please?
The changes basically consist of adding several new MDS members which can be accessed via Excel.
Thanks in advance,
Kind Regards,
Kieran.
Kieran Patrick Wood http://www.innovativebusinessintelligence.com http://uk.linkedin.com/in/kieranpatrickwood http://kieranwood.wordpress.com/

In MDS terminology an Entity is metadata, and Entity Members are the data.
Typically changes to an Entity (ie model design changes) are promoted to different environments. Model design changes can be replicated manually in each environment or you can Export the model and Import it into the target environment.
Adding, editing and deleting entity members is performed directly in each environment.
If you want to selectively import data from a Dev environment, you can use staging.

            // open xml schema
            FileInputStream schemaInputStream = new FileInputStream(new File(SCHEMA_FILE_NAME));
            byte[] schemaBuffer = new byte[schemaInputStream.available()];
            schemaInputStream.read(schemaBuffer);
            ByteArray schemaByteArray = new ByteArray(schemaBuffer);
            XMLDataSet xmlDataSet = new XMLDataSet(dataByteArray, schemaByteArray);
            reportClientDoc.getDatabaseController().setDataSource (xmlDataSet, "TamFileList/TamFile/Notam", "TamFileList/TamFile/Notam");
Thank you for any hint.

Direct reporting in Crystal Reports works fine. All data is presented and refresh also works.
The xml and the schama files are read in the first block of the read. So the complete xml and schema are
passed to the constructor of the XMLDataSet. Of course I have to change the read for production (thank you for the hint)
I wonder why the ClientReportDocument or better to say its data source and its underlying driver
(CRDB_XMLImpl.DbLogonServer()) tryes to connect to a database when there is no database at all.

Changing the data source of a Crystal Report

Post Author: starmizzle
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
We're running a trial of BusinessObjects XI Release 2 to see if it fits our needs.
We were told that we could import and publish our existing Crystal Reports and then later on go back and change their data sources to point to new universes as they're built.
So I've published a simple Crystal Report that I can run and modify through Infoview. And I've created a universe with the appropriate fields and calculations that it needs. So how do I force my published report to use the new universe as its data source instead of the system DSN it had when it was made?

Error loading report when data source changed

We are migrating our Crystal Reports from using XML files generated from our SAP R3 system to using a direct connection to SAP R3 (using the SAP Integration Kit).
The code is straightforward:
      crReport = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
      crReport.Load(reportPath);
...where the reportPath is just a string with the path and filename (e.g. "C:\reports\Report1.rpt").
This worked fine with the report when it had an XML data source. When we run the code with the new version of the report that connects to a data table on our SAP R3 we get the following error message:
Error in File Report1 {40205567-F890-4B3C-A103-C9C8F0A1E665}.rpt: Failed to logon to the Crystal Report Object Repository.
The report is not in an Object Repository, nor do we even have a Repository in place right now. The report can be run manually from Crystal Reports on the desktop without any kind of Repository.
Both versions of the report were built in Crystal Reports 2008.
Thanks,
Byron

I am not sure if connecting to SAP is any different than connecting to SQL, but we develop one report and then deploy to N number of client who all have their own SQL servers and server names.
Here is the code I use to alter the database connection at runtime:
connection.DatabaseName = _datebaseName;
                connection.ServerName = _serverName;
                if (_integratedSecurity)
                    connection.IntegratedSecurity = _integratedSecurity;
                else
                    connection.UserID = _userId;
                    connection.Password = _password;
                connection.Type = ConnectionInfoType.SQL;
                // First we assign the connection to all tables in the main report
                foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table table in _reportDocument.Database.Tables)
                    AssignTableConnection(table, connection);
                foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Section section in _reportDocument.ReportDefinition.Sections)
                    // In each section we need to loop through all the reporting objects
                    foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportObject reportObject in section.ReportObjects)
                        if (reportObject.Kind == ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject)
                            SubreportObject subReport = (SubreportObject)reportObject;
                            ReportDocument subDocument = subReport.OpenSubreport(subReport.SubreportName);
                            foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table table in subDocument.Database.Tables)
                                AssignTableConnection(table, connection);

Error while migrating reports from one instance to another(no torch seen)

Hi,
I am facing this problem when I am trying to migrate reports from UAT to Production. After migration when I try to run the report from Discoverer plus, I cannot see the torch symbol which is general if we have any parameters for that report. So, I again migrate the same .eex file and now I see the torch.
Can any one throw some thoughts why is this happening, why I cannot see the torch symbol in the first time itself?
Thanks,
Srini.

Hi Srini
The list of values is not being associated with the item the first time around. The order in which the items are selected is important so for example if lists of values were imported first without the items upon which they depend they will be ignored. Running the import a second time will cause the LOVs to recognize their associated item and thus the association will be made.
Generally I do two exports. I will export my folders and workbooks first and then export my item classes.
Hope this helps explain what you are seeing.
Best wishes
Michael

Issues while migration reports to 2012 report server .

I am stuck in report server related issue . Following are steps and log files details for migrating report server database from 2005 to 2012 :-
Back up the encryption key for the report server database.
Back up the report server database a SQL Server database.
Back up the report server configuration files.
Restore the database from the backup created , As temporary database and the main database are depend so they should be restored together.
Start the Reporting Services Configuration tool and connect to the Reporting Services instance you just installed.
Configure URLs for the report server and Report Manager
Configure the report server database, selecting the existing report server database from your previous installation. After successful configuration, the report server services
will restart, and once a connection is made to the report server database, the database will be automatically upgraded to SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services.
As we were not able to figure out the password I tried another approach to test if the
report server works after deleting the encrypted data . I deleted encrypted data.
Error below is shown in log files when I try to access report manager .

Hello Manish,
I am sorry for my delay.
As we know, the service pack of SQL Server is free to download and install, and the latest SP for SQL server 2005 is SP4, so that Microsoft recommend that we migrate the service from SQL Server 2005 SP4 to SQL Server 2012. If you still want to upgrade the
service from SSRS 2005 SP3, we cannot guarantee that all features can work properly, and we did not test it yet. Therefore, I still recommend you upgrade the SQL server 2005 to SP4 if possible.
In addition, you can refer to the following article on MSDN to see whether it can meet your requirement. It is a general step to migrate the SSRS.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143747.aspx
I hope it is helpful to you.
Regards,
Edward
