Database Connector error: 'cannot obtain error message from server'

I am using Oracle stored procedures and I have used IN parameters for input and INOUT parameter of REF_CURSOR TYPE for returning resultset in Crystal Report 2008 by using package. Now when I am trying to add the package in the Crystal Report, parameter input box prompts, I enter some values and gets Database Connector error: 'cannot obtain error message from server'.
But when I do not use INPUT parameters and use OUT parameter of REF_CURSOR type it runs well without any issues.
We are using ODBC connection for Oracle.
Kindly suggest.

Hello,
Search the Knowledge Base for "oracle store procedures" and you'll find a document on how to write a SP so CR can use them.
Thank you
Don

'Cannot obtain error message from server' when trying to use ODBC

Post Author: Grant C
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hi, I'm developing some reports using Crystal XI on my local PC, using an Oracle 10i back end on a separate server. The SQL for the report is in a method in an oracle package.
When I set the datasource location, selecting 'Oracle Server' then entering the details works fine, and the report runs. However, when I try to use an ODBC connection I get the following error:
Database Connection Error: 'Cannot obtain error message from server.'
The ODBC link is set up as a System DSN, which works fine when I test it. I think I need to use ODBC as some of the reports (which I inherited) seem to fail when run on the Crystal Server, and it seeme to be the ones set up with ODBC which work.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hi Mars-
It sounds like your NI-DAQ installation may have become corrupted. I would suggest uninstalling and reinstalling the DAQmx 7.4 driver to correct this problem and ensure that you're up to date. This download is available here: NI-DAQ 7.4
If the problem persists you may want to uninstall and reinstall LabVIEW and then NI-DAQ in that order. The error message will usually give an indication as to which VI the error occurred in. Please let us know which VI is failing if you're unable to avoid the error with these suggestions.
Have a good day-

Editing error message from server

Hai all,
i want to know whether it is possible to change the style of the error message. style means Font, Size, Color of the text that are validated in server and sent to browser using
FacesMessage message=new FacesMessage(......);

With h:messages you cannot set individual message style classes. If you need that much control, you probably should be using h:message anyways.
What you can do with h:messages, is set a different style class for different error severities. Use the errorClass, fatalClass, warnClass, and infoClass attributes.
So say you were to throw a validation error in one of your custom validation classes. You could set the message severity to something reasonable, and use the appropriate attribute on h:messages to change the style class for it.

Hi,I'm using CR9 and try to use an Oracle stored procedure as a datasource for a report. But everytime I want to add the procedure to the report with the help of the database expert I get this error.I already searched for a solution, installed SP4 that should solve the problem --> nothing changed.Strange thing: when I connect directly to the Oracle Server (instead of ODBC), everything runs fine. Any suggestion? Best Regards,Florian

You need smarter management.
If a software supplier suggests a patch, and the patch corrects something, then you need to apply it.
Implementing a test server is optimal of course. If they do NOT have one, then they must have a disaster recovey plan in place, if it breaks something else, implement it.
They sound like poorly thought out, fear mongering IT people that should be replaced.
I would write up an analysis that states that management will not implement the suggested solution.
In either case, I would get your resume in circulation

Error in File (report server\ report.rpt): Database Connector Error

New installation of XI R2 - using Crystal Reports Version 11.5.8.826 for developement against Oracle DB.
Currently have around 20 reports running on XI (need to import ~1500 reports from Crystal Enterprise 10, but waiting to resolve this issue)
Some reports sometimes (not always) get the following error:
Error in File (report server\ report.rpt): Database Connector Error
If the report is re-scheduled, report will sometime run fine and sometimes gets the same error again.
There seems to be no logical way to determine which parameters will cause the report to fail or when.
I'm experiencing the problem on about 3 reports only - All against the same DB and only occassionally. These 20 reports were developed with CR XI and all run against the same Oracle DB.

I've got the same problem- the reports run fine in Crystal, but sometimes (not everytime) they fail in InfoView with "Database Connector Error" message. My report doesn't contain any data, just 8 sets of 4 subreports in different footer sections, which each connect to a different stored procedure. The report is to help with our server checks: we have a set of 4 different stored procedures which run on each of 8 different servers making 32 different SPs and there is a subreport in this report for each.
It does seem to be random whether this problem occurs or not- I have scheduled the report to run regularly (1 recurring instance) and sometime it works, sometimes not, but always the same failure message. I have increased the success rate by allowing the report to re-try on failure, but this does take time, and isn't really curing the problem.
I wonder whether this error could be caused by a delay in one of the SPs returning its data, and the report timing out since no data is being returned. Would anyone know whether this is likely to be the cause, and if so how to fix it? Or any suggestions what else it could be?
Thanks,
Tom

Database Connection Error: Cannot obtain error message from the server

I have a SQL statement that wants to add a temp table to the database.   The SQL statement works fine but when I try to add it via 'Add Command' feature in Crystal XI R2, I get the following error message:
Database Connection Error: Cannot obtain error message from the server
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Zack H.

Hi Raghavendra,
I am using this in the 'Add Command' feature but I get the error message displayed in the subject line:
CREATE TABLE #TibetanYaks(
YakID char(4),
YakName char(20) )
INSERT INTO #TibetanYaks (YakID, YakName)
SELECT LastName, FirstName
FROM      Employee
WHERE      EmployeeID between '2000' and '3000'
I haven't tried to add this as a stored procedure but I imagine it will work as I have no problems yet with stored procedures. I simply want to be able to use temporary tables for the sole purpose of that session and not creating anything static in the database.
By the way, even though I get the error message, when I look on the backend database, I see that the temporary table was successfully created...its just not brought across correctly in Crystal.
Any ideas?
Zack H.

Database Connector Error from CMC

I get database connector error when I schedule a report from CMC for Previous months begin and end date.For other critieria the report works fine. It works when I give previous dates to Trnasaction Post date > 10/01/2010 and Trnasaction Post date < 10/31/2010.But When I write the sql to get these dates and replace the dates with this logic for begin and end date.After 10-15 minutes or after 30 minutes I get Database connecotr error in CMC. This logic works fine for other reports created by other developers and when I apply the same for their reports they run fine.In this case This report is eactly save as of another report.That report works fine for this kind of a criteria.But this report does not.
We are using Oracle 11.1.0 on client

The problem is solved by some extentent.By performance tuning the query the package does finish executing in few minutes.The actuall error in Designer was out of temp DB.

Database connector error - building crystal xir2 report from univ?

Folks,
I am attempting to create a crystal xir2 report using an otherwise fully functional universe, one that has other webi docs already created. After opening crystal and selecting new report, I log onto the BO server and select objects from the Univ to build the query. Hovever, I get 'Unknown database connector error' when clicking OK.
I recently installed crystal xir2, the same version as my bo server. I checked the cmc and am using the same credentials when logging onto bo enterprise to select the univ from within crystal. Any ideas what is causing this and how to correct the issue?
Thanks.

Hello,
I'm going to move this over to the Report Design forum. Someone there should be able to sort this out for you. I doubt it's a DB connection problem but something in the Universe causing Cr to fail.
Seems no one in the Report Designer forum has any suggestions so I'm again moving this to the Universe Designer forum.
Thanks you
Don

Thanks Mohammad - much appreciated.
I also got a response from Apple who said that there was a problem related to fonts and the encryption.xml file
Once we'd removed this we were able to upload the epub no problem.
It's odd that the system seems to say that all is okay when it isn't. We have to rely on guesswork rather a lot using iBook Producer.
Anyway, all sorted now and thank you again for your contribution.
Best wishes and a Happy New Year!

Database Connector Error when trying to add a stored procedure to my report

I am trying to add a stored procedure to my report and come up with this error Database Connector Error: 'Cannot obtain error from server.'. This is in any of our environments, and with any stored procedure. I am able to connect to tables and views without error. I'm using Crystal Reports 2008. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
