Database Connection error in Crystal Reports using SAP BW system

Hi,
While using Crystal Reports in trying to build a report on the SAP Query in SAP/BW System using the MDX driver, I am able to get the structure of the query fields into the report but on the other hand while trying to refresh the report for data I am getting the error message u201C Failed to connect to the databaseu201D . This database connection error occurs despite the fact that the SAP server authentication details being entered on Refreshing the report is correct.
What could be the possible reason? Any guess...
Thanks,
Amogh

Hi,
Yes, I am using the MDX driver.
Is there any pre-requisites of importing certain ABAP transports into SAP Server since I haven't done any? Please recommend.
Thanks,
Amogh

Share database connection among multiple crystal reports using PULL model

Hi All,
Is there any way to share database connection using crystal report PULL method ? I m using crystal report 2011 with visual c# (VS2010). Reports get connected to database server using Oracle Native client drivers.
Thanks,

In crystal report 8.5, we have used "PESetNthTableLogonInfo" (after PELogOnServer got deprecated) which shares the connection among reports. Is there any way to implement the same functionality in crystal reports.

Connection error with Crystal Report XI, VB6 and Sybase ASE15

Hello !
I have an error #4002 when I want to launch a report in VB6 with the ActiveX Crystal Report Viewer.
I use Sybase ASE 15 with an ODBC link and the reports run stored procedures.
This error seems to be an authentification error, but I don't know what parameters are missing or wrong...
- My reports works well in the report designer.
- The reports connected to a text file or an ADO recordset work in VB6.
- The Verify Database works in design mode in VB6.
- The problem is the same with tables, stored procedures, SQL and with or without parameters...
- I tried to connect the report to a DataEnvironnment but I get the same error.
The problem appears when I use the Crystal Wizard to create a form automatically AND when I create objects directly in code like :
    Dim crapp As CRAXDRT.Application
    Dim oReport As CRAXDRT.Report
    Set crapp = New CRAXDRT.Application
    Set oReport = crapp.OpenReport("C:\myreport.rpt")
    CRViewer.ReportSource = oReport
    CRViewer.viewReport
Please help !

Hello,
I don't see any database logon code in what you posted. You need to log onto the database at runtime since Crystal Reports will never store passwords.
You can download and review the [Connection Properties|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00635998-751e-2b10-9cba-f50ee1e4ef81] document for more information on how to log onto your database at runtime. This document was written for CR9, but it's the same for CR10, CR XI (v11.0), and CR XI R2 (v11.5).
I hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Dan Kelleher

Error while 'Crystal Report for Sap Business One' addon started

Hi,
I have try to install Crystal Report for Sap Business One (Addon Versione number 2.0.0.7).
The installatione finish succesfully, but when I started the addOn i retrieve this errore message: External Connection to the dataBase failed. Sap Crystal Addon may not function properly. Please re-run the account setup with superuser login.
I'm logged in Sap with manager (super user), so maybe I have forgot some step in the installation?
I have see the Demo in the Channel Partner Portal, I have note that I have to isntall the CR_Runtime_12_0, but I don't find it, I don't know where I can download this file. I have just installed SapCrystalSetup.exe and registered the Addon like a normal Sap B1 addon.
Where is the error??
Regards
Marco

You must configure in each cliente Pc the connection with the DATABASE.
You must Know the Database Super User (In SQL Server usually sa, and its password, the standard form SAP Business One is SAPB1Admin)
In Administration > Crystal Reports Administration > Account Setup
The CR_Runtime_12_0 is only necesary to view reports, but isn't necesary to start de addon.

Encapsulation Error in Crystal Reports using Web Service Connection

Hi Experts,
I'd like to request help in investigating an issue we are currently having in Crystal Reports. Basically, the solution design is:
-Web Service is Used as connection
-Dynamic Hyperlink value is used to access another Crystal Report
Issue: Dynamic Hyperlink value is based on a summary. We are getting Encapsulation Error message whenever we try to click a link having 30k value.
Does anyone here can give us some tip on how to investigate the issue? For such cases, which component (datasource, CR, etc.) of the solution normally causes the issue? Are there any limitation in using Web Service for Crystal Reports?
We'd greately appreciate any help here.
Kind Regards and Many Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
There could be many reasons for this rather 'generic' error. Is the Business Objects Enterprise clustered?
Also, could you try saving both the Main and the target reports to the Enterprise with the 'No printer' option checked.
(File > Page Setup> No Printer).
Also, what happens when the target report is viewed on its own?
Let me know how it goes!

Error creating Crystal Report using Stored Proc Universe

Hi,
I have created a stored procedure Universe, using the new feature available in XI R3.
This connects to an Oracle database, executing a PL/SQL procedure returning ref cursor.
I have created a WebI report using this Universe, which works fine and functions as expected.
So there are no problems with either my Oracle stored proc or the Universe.
However, I would like to create a Crystal report (2008) using the same Universe.
I can create the report ok - using the SP Universe.
When I attempt to refresh the data I get an error:
Failed to retrieve data from the database.
Details: ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "." when expecting one of the following:

AND foracid ='2252020145001';

Please Give me solution as early as possible.

Database Connector Error in Crystal Reports

Hi,
I have a report which has two sub reports. One of the sub reports use a view to fetch data while the other uses a SP. Now the problem that i am facing is as follows-
The sub-report using the stored procedure fails when i execute the main report but if i first execute the sub report with the SP, and then again run the main report, it works fine.
I tried an ODBC trace to find out why this was failing. When the main report is run for the first time, the sub report was not executed properly. The sub report uses a SP which expects two parameters. So at the first run, only one parameter gets passed to the sub report. however on the second run, the sub report successfully gets both the parameters.
The error that is encountered says:
Database Connector Error: 'HY000:[DataDirect][ODBC Oracle driver][Oracle]ORA-06550: line 1, column 58: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol ")" when expecting one of the following:
(-+ case mod new not null others <an identifier>
<a double-quoted delimited-identifier> <a bind variable> avg
count current exists max min prior sql stddev sum variance
execute for all merge time timestamp interval date......
Could any one please help on this one? I am almost crazy trying to figure this out.
Regards,
Rashmi.

JDBC connection error in Crystal Reporting through ESRI Dekho product

Wow, I am so far out of my depth here I am not even sure I am in the correct forum. I have recently started using the GIS software ESRI product Dekho (a web based browser basically) and the reporting tool is Crystal Reports. The JDBC connection required for me to connect to data held in a corporate oracle db is failing with a driver error and I don't know how to troubleshoot it. ESRI support seem to think it's a Crystal Reports issue. If anyone has any idea what I am talking about please respond, including pointing me to a forum which might assist, if this one is not where I should be asking such a question. Thanks in advance.

Simon here from Esri Australia, I work in the support team for the Dekho product, that this client was having problems with.
We established that our Dekho product was passing the relevant information over to Crystal and that Crystal was having issues connecting to a database due to an issue with Crystal not having the correct JBDC drivers installed.
= Therefore we concluded that the client should get in touch with you to resolve these JDBC driver issues.
The error in the report is:
['Failed to open the connection, Details:JDBC driver not found"|http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/jak-c/Outlook1.jpg]
We believe that the issue is specifically a Crystal Reports issue on connecting to an Oracle database.
If we take Dekho out of the equation, the issue is still apparent.
We did some testing on Oracle XE and were able to get it to communicate with Crystal Reports ok.
We had to make the following change:
1. copied the database drivers from:
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\jdbc\lib
to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects\Common\4.0\java\lib\external\
2. Edit "C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects\Common\4.0\java\lib" to include the above JAR file into the classpath tag.
We touch on this in [our own web-help|http://www.dekho.com.au/help/31/default.htm?turl=Documents%2Fconfigurecrystalreports.htm], although this is more specific to SQL Server.
The client had problems setting up this Crystal Reports to Oracle link, due to drivers missing.
Can you generate a support ticket for this client and assist her with getting CR drivers working with her version of Oracle?
As a sidenote - Esri Australia is a distributor for Esri, and not sure if the OEM extends to us?
We would like to get a better relationship with you on how to deal with Crystal related issues with our own product.
For issues like the above, we would like to come up with a more efficient means for our clients to get resolutions to their issues, and if the issue stems to outside our product - a good process for our support team to log a ticket on behalf of our client and pass all the relevant info across, so that a solution can be resolved quickly.
- Do you have a contact in Australia that we could talk to about this?
Let me know if you need the clients contact details - I believe this is still an issue for her.

Creating BO or Crystal reports using SAP - R3 - Possible?

Hi,
Is it possible to create Business objects or crystal report with just SAP R3 system (without using SAP BW)?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Subbu S

Hi,
In latest release in BOXI3 we have option BO and SAP integration kit.whilt installing you need to install this integration kit i.e. how we are installing Deski and designer.
Once you have install this option we can directly use SAP R3 source and we can gentrate reports and we can use SAP R3 source table in to universe desing and we can design universe. Once universe desing done we can use this universe for report creation.
Thanks

Database connection error when running report from web application

Hi all,
When I open a report in Reports Builder , and enter the database connection parameters, everything works fine. When I run my web application from JDeveloper (9.0.5.1), and I tried to run a report, I get this error:
Rep-501 : Unable to connect to the specified database.
I have ran tnsping, and it works fine. My tnsnames.ora file looks like this :
GPGWL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1522))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = GPGWL)
)

Please ask this question in Jdeveloper forum.

CMC cannot save database configuration from a crystal report using WS

Hi all
I have a report in Crystal reports which is using a web service as a datasource. All works fine since web services is not using ws-security but when I deploy my report on CMC i can not save database configuracion. This is because i don't want it to prompt me for the logon credentials.
thanks

Hi Manish,
thanks for your answer. Unfortunately I'm still stuck in this matter.
Does this happen with the sample reports too? I think it will be a good approach to try this to see if your system is behaving differently for sample reports and reports published from outside
I did not really try this, but viewing and editing my reports in Crystal Reports 2008 Designer works perfectly fine. As well can the user view my reports in the InfoViewApp.
Also, does it revert to the login screen setting immediately after you click Save or does it show the setting as changed after clicking Save but, does not retain it when you come back and check the report settings again?
The data is reverted immediately after clicking "Save"
Kind reagrds
Wolfgang
