Database connection not working in Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0

Hello All,
We have several hunderd reports that were created in CR 8.5.  We are moving to a new Java  environemnt and we are also considering using BIRT.However to save development time and effort we are considering using the CR for Eclipse 2.0. For a proof of concept, we loaded several of our 8.5 reports into Crystal reports XI, saved them, and then loaded them into our CR for eclipse design environment.
These reports were built from the values returned from a store procedure.. When we try to execute the reports from within Eclipse, we get  Error finding JNDI name (xxxx). We have created the appropriate datasource (to Sybase 12.5.4), and the schema is viewable in the db explorer. However when we associate the connection to this datasource, the connection no longer appears in the field explorer and no data is returned upon previewing the report.
The original reports used ODBC to access the database. Is there anyway to easily convert these reports to using the Sybase JDBC datasource? Also in the DB explorer, the SPs are only showing the SP parameters,not the return values, so we are unable to easily drag the return fields onto the report to reset the links.
Thanks in advance

Michael,
We had a similar situation but from my reseach the output from the stored procs cannot be viewed in the report designer in Eclipse. So we had to design the reports using the Crystal Reports Devloper application (the stand-alone version, not the Eclipse editor). The reports were designed w/an ODBC datasource. In order to get that working we had to create a JNDI JDBC datasource connection w/the exact same name as the ODBC datasource and that works. For example, the ODBC datasource was named OP01DSDB01.WORLD so we just created a JNDI datasource w/that exact same name (no jdbc/OP01DSDB01.WORLD just OP01DSDB01.WORLD). I'm not sure if there is a workaround for any of this but this was the easiest way to get them working.
I know this isn't the ideal situation, but that was the easiest way to get things working.

    Hi Amol,
    Are you able to execute your stored procedure from oracle?.
    - If "Yes" then use  the Crystal Report XIR2 Designer to create the report.
    - Import this report in the Crystal Report For Eclipse Workbench.
    - The latest version for Crystal Report For Eclipse is SP1.
    Please let me know the results.
    Thanks,
    Neeraj

  • Cannot Install Crystal Reports for Eclipse v2.0 on Mac OSX

    I've tried to install the Crystal Reports plug-in to my Eclipse environment without any success.  No matter what I try, I get the same error message:
    "Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
      Missing requirement: 1271104370856 0.0.0.1271104370856 requires 'com.businessobjects.crystalreports.integration.eclipse.feature.feature.group [2.0.6.r916]' but it could not be found"
    To the best of my knowledge, I've installed all the correct pre-requisites listed on the SAP website.  I've tried every search I can think of and have found nothing that helps.
    I'm at my wits end...please help!

    Note that the Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0 plugin is not supported nor tested on MacOS, regardless of version. 
    Feedback I've gotten is that the installation fails for the embedded designer components.
    The Crystal Reports Java SDK runtime components - the library used to run rpt files on desktop of web apps using Java - is supported and tested on MacOS 10.5
    You'll note that the Supported Platform guide for CR4E 2.0 is specific in listing support only for the Runtime.

  • Connection problem in Crystal Reports for Eclipse(SQL Server Express 2008)

    I tried to connect into a local SQL Server Express 2008 database in Crystal Reports for Eclipse (CR4E), but always  got the Ping failed message(TCP/IP connection failed) even I tests completed successfully using my Window XP Adminstrators Tools (SQL Server ODBC Data Source Test). I can connect successfully to a remote network Oracle database in CR4E. I would like to know
    that is there any one who connect SQL Server Express 2008 local database successfully in CR4E?

    Don,
    Thanks for your suggestions. I will follow your instruction to connect to SQL Server Express 2008 database latelly. I can connect successfully with different Oracle databases (10g) in CR4E. I will try to connect MySQL database and Postgres database in CR4E  to see if they can be  successful or not. My project involves international entities with emphsizing  in using OPEN SOURCE softwares (which means FREE - no license fees) in .NET platform for Oracle, SQL Server Express, MySQL and Postgres database servers. I am responsible for reports generation. I hope that CR4E can be connected successfully to SQL Server Express 2008 database server, otherwise I have to use JFreeReport/JFreeChart tools to do reports generation .

  • Problem with Crystal reports for Eclipse and Postgres-databases

    Hi,
    Is there a known problem when using a PostgreSQL-database to create a report with Crystal reports Plugin? When I drag a table, then occurs a error-windows, that the object can't  created.
    I have found a workaround for solving the problem. After new installing Eclipse Platform Version: 3.4.1 Build id: M20080911-1700 and Crystal reports Plugin 11.8.6.v1371 with JRE 1.6.0_01 the error message allways occurs, when I select a table from a PostgreSQL database (Version 8.2). After restarting eclipse you see the last selected tables in the field explorer and you can drag the table fields in the report. A repeated choice of the same table causes aliases for the table in the field explorer after restarting eclipse.

    Your issue appears to be a Crystal Reports for Eclipse report designer thing, and not a JRC runtime thing.  The JRC runtime does support Type 4 JDBC drivers, but all modern PostgreSQL drivers are Type 4.
    The current report designer is more restrictive than the JRC runtime - and PostgreSQL, being not on the supported platforms list, has never been tested with the embedded designer.
    Unless there's anybody out there with experience with PostgreSQL and CR4E designer, who would be willing to share their experiences.
    Sincerely,

  • Test Connection failed in Crystal Reports for Eclipse using SQL Server 2008

    I installed an SQL Server Express 2008 on my local PC (Window XP SP3). I downloaded sqljdbc4.jar to Crystal Reports for Eclipse

It said that check that an instance of SQL Server is running on the host (I saw SQL Server SQLEXPRESS is Running on my PC) and accepting TCP/IP connection at the port (I enabled TCP/IPin my PC's SQL Server Network Configuration),

  • DOWNLOAD CRYSTAL REPORTS FOR ECLIPSE 1.0.8 not compatible with java 1.4

    Hi,
    I understand that this plugin requires java 1.5. However, due to my company's existing infrastructure, I have to use java 1.4 for my web applications.
    May I know if there is a older version of the CRYSTAL REPORTS FOR ECLIPSE compatible with java 1.4 (manual installation) available for download ?
    Thanks in advance.

    You can download Java Runtime version 11.8.8.x [here|http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/crystalreportsforeclipse/1_0/crystalreports-javasdk-11.8.8.zip]
    It supported JDK 1.4 for a few different web application server deployment. Check platform.txt in it. However this is very old version of CR runtime and can cause other issues in crystal reports rendering etc. in which case the only solution would be to get the latest CRJ runtime.

  • Crystal Reports for Eclipse and CR2008

    SQL-Server 2005
    CR 2008, Ver.12.0.0.683
    Crystal Reports for Eclipse Plug-in Details:
    all Plug-in-files from Business Objects have the Versions 1.0.4.v1094 or 11.8.0.v20060727 except "CR for Eclipse Dev.Guide": Ver. 1.0.0.v1094
    I created a report with CR 2008 and load this report with eclipse. A preview in CR and eclipse is running perfect.
    When I bind this report to a jsp I get the error "Es wurde keine Rowsetspalte für das SQL-Ausdrucksfeld "strRefNo" gefunden", in english
    "no rowset-column for sql-statement "strRefNo""
    General this kind of SQL-statement is not working. This statement is a function which needs first a value from the database.
    When this value is fixed in the statement, the report is running in the jsp otherwise I get the error.
    When I delete this statement in eclispe, save this report, redo my delete and save the report again, the report is running with jsp!
    May be, there is a version conflict between CR and eclipse.
    I have to create the reports in CR2008 but I can not save the report in CR2008 to an older version.
    Is there a newer version for eclipse, which works with CR2008? I could not find any other version.
    Do you have other ideas?
    Thanks!

    I recently installed crystal reports for Eclipse and much of the basic CR functionality seems to be there, but then I added a .csv file as an ODA flat file data source and I can see it in my "Data Source Explorer", but can not seem to drag it into my report to actually use the data.  Am I missing some basic step?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hello Chris,
    I recommend to post this query to the [Crystal Reports Design|SAP Crystal Reports; forum.
    This forum is dedicated to topics related to the creation and design of Crystal Report documents. This includes topics such as database connectivity, parameters and parameter prompting, report formulas, record selection formulas, charting, sorting, grouping, totaling, printing, and exporting but also installation and registering.
    It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
    Also, all Crystal Reports Design queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
    Best regards,
    Falk

  • Unable to download the Crystal Reports for Eclipse

    <p>Hi,</p><p>I could able to see the download links for "Crystal Reports for Eclipse" in diamond site.

Some times the downloads crosses 50% and finally the connection gets disconnected.</p><p>Is there any alternate way to download the content?</p><p>Regards,</p><p>Senthil </p><p> </p>

    Â Hi Senthil
    The only way for you to get CR4E is to download it from our web site.
    I just made a try, just to check if our web site was having any troubles today, and it worked fine, so I assume you might be experiencing some troubles on your side with your internet connexion.
    I have successfully downloaded the All-In-One zip file of CR4E, that you can find there :
    Â http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/433
    I suggest you give it some more tries.
    Thank you for using CR4E.

    According to the release notes, for the JRCHelperSample to compile, you must set the target runtime for the project.
    To do this, either create a project from scratch that uses the Tomcat 5.5 target runtime, or go to the properties menu and ensure that the target runtime is set to the application server you will be using.

    If you wish to use the Eclipse IDE Software Updater:
    1. Start Eclipse 3.4.1 (Gemini) IDE.
    2. Select Help -> Software Updates...
    3. Select the "Available Software" tab.
    4. Click the "Manage Sites..." button.
    5. If you do not see the following URL listed:
    http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/crystalreportsforeclipse/2_0/update_site/
        then click "Add..." and add it.
    6. Select the above URL in the "Available Software Sites", then click "OK".
    7. The Available Software should now list the above URL.  Open the node, and you should see "Crystal Reports for Eclipse".
    8. Check all checkboxes for "Crystal Reports for Eclipse", and "Install..."
    After successful update, you'll see version 2.0.1 listed in Help -> About Eclipse SDK and clicking on the "Crystal Reports for Eclipse" icon (blue swoosh with green diamond).
    If you don't see that version listed, here's some troubleshooting tips:
    Open a web browser, and Go to the following URL:
      http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/crystalreportsforeclipse/2_0/update_site/site.xml
    You should get back a XML file listed the current CR4E plugin and language packs versions.  If you get an error instead, it may be because (1) you're in a locked down environment that won't let you access that site, or (2) the CR4E Update Site may be down for maintenance.   If the former, you'll have to download the updates by some other means and upgrade manually.

  • Crystal Reports for Eclipse ver. 2 fails on export to excel

    I have downloaded crystal reports for eclipse version 2 (full eclipse setup) and created the sample project.
    The new version of JRC looks awesome on the browser. Finally the visual appeal is as good as the .NET version.
    However I am having a problem with the export to excel feature. When I select export to excel, I get the following exception
    Update: I just realized this problem exists for all the export options
    SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet CrystalReportViewerServlet threw exception
    com.businessobjects.report.web.shared.WebReportingException: getOutputStream() has already been called for this response----
    (Full Exception pasted below the message)
    I have not made any changes to the sample crystal reports project so I am not really sure what i am missing.
    I have Microsoft Vista Ultimate with Crystal Reports 2008 trial version installed.
    I have configured eclipse with Tomcat 6.0 and JDK/JRE 1.6
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I searched on scn and got the listing you mentioned.
    The jsp code I am using is as follows.
    <%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1" %><%@ taglib uri="/crystal-tags-reportviewer.tld" prefix="crviewer" %><crviewer:viewer reportSourceType="reportingComponent" viewerName="CrystalReport1-viewer" reportSourceVar="CrystalReport1" isOwnPage="true"><crviewer:report reportName="CrystalReport1.rpt" /></crviewer:viewer>
    And I get the following exception on selecting any export.
    WebReportingException: getOutputStream() has already been called...
    So I think maybe this problem is not the same as listed under SAP Note 1199025.
    Also the strange thing is I just download the full ganymede version with crystal report for eclipse version 2, and created a default crystal reports website.
    The samples were provided automatically, and I have not written any code myself.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • How to use a stored procedure as a datasource in Crystal Report for Eclipse

    Hi All,
    I've written a stored procedure in oracle 10g with few input parameters and one refcursor output parameter. I want to use this stored procedure as a data source for creating a report in "Crystal Report For Eclipse 3.6.0".
    When I tried to add this stored procedure to the report using the connection explorer, I don't see any option to do this. But when I try to add any table, it shows options like "Add to the current report"....
    Can anybody assist me how to use a stored procedure as a data source in "Crystal Report For Eclipse"?
    Which driver should I use to connect to the oracle database? I tried using JDBC Driver for Oracle.
    Thanks in advance.
