"database logon" option for schedule report

When scheduling a report,
Crystal report has the "database logon" option in "shcedule" property page.
But I can't find the "database logon" option for webi report or deski report.
Is this by design.

Hi Tina,
We do not have data base logon option while scheduling the report.
I am not sure what is the significance of it in Crystal but in Webi or deski report we do not need it. We have connections for every universe/report and that has these database log on credential in it. Based on it reports get refresh and run.
Thanks

  • How to hide Database Logon option when scheduling Crystal Report in BOE?

    Hi All,
    For security reason, we are try to hide the Database Logon option in Crystal Report Schedule page in InfoView.
    There is option in CMC which we can configure the default Database logon option so that users do not have to enter the logon everytime they view or schedule the report.  However, we are looking to hide this option completely.
    Does anyone know if there is a security setting which can hide the option from specific users?
    Thanks,
    Bobby

    Hi Bobby,
    As Jorge informed that there is no method available within CMC to hide database logon option when scheduling or viewing a Crystal Report in the Info view. This is very much true.
    But as you also mentioned that you don't want your users to enter the database logon credentials evertime they view or schedule a crystal report, there is one setting in CMC which we can do to avoid prompt for database logon credentials.
    CMC - Home - Go to that specific crystal report - Click Process tab - Click the sub-tab 'Database' and at the bottom of the page there is an option "Use same database logon as when report is run". Check this option after providing the database credentials and click UPDATE.
    Now whenever users try to view or schedule this specifc crystal report they won't be prompted for the database logon credentials.

  • The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or inco

    getting below error while opening a report from infoview
    The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect.
    Unable to retrieve Object.
    The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect.
    They can open the same report from crystal designer.We have checked the database and it is pointing to correct one in process->database of CMC.
    They have created the report with windows NT credentials.
    Can any one help in this regard.
    Thanks,
    Gokul.

    How did you set up NT auth on the report? With CR Designer I'd assume you are using a trusted connection? Which option did you choose in the CMC for DB credentials? Prompt, same login, or SSO (I don't have the CMC screen in front of me right now so I'm abbreviating the options)?

  • The migrated Crystal Report throws "The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect" error

    [ENVIRONMENT]
    Product version - BI4.1 SP03
    OS - Windows 2008 R2
    CMS Database - Oracle 11g
    Java Application Server - Tomcat7
    [ISSUE]
    Using the Upgrade Management Tool to completely migrate a BOXI3.1 SP3+FP3.6 to BI4.1 SP03.  The reporting database from both BOXI3.1 and BI4.1 are the same and so is the database logon credential.
    When viewing and refresh a migrated Crystal Report, it throws "The viewer could not process an event. The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect. [] ---- Error code:0 [CRWEB00000119]" error in both BI Launchpad and "The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect" in scheduled job.
    [STEPS TAKEN]
    - Update the Database Configuration with the SAME Oracle database password in CMC and "The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect" issue goes away.
    I search the SAP SMP and SCN forum and found no reference on this UMT and Crystal Report database logon problem.  Hope any of you have seen this problem and share if there is an ADAPT for it.
    Thank you in advance,
    Jin-Chong

    Hi,
    The BI4.1 SP03 server and client and Crystal Report 2013 SP03 developer and Crystal Report for Enterprise 4.1 SP03 are all installed onto this Windows 2008 R2 server.
    I am able to open the migrated report from CMS repository in Crystal Report 2013 SP03 developer and am able to refresh it with database logon password provided.  After save it back to the Enterprise, the database logon password field for this report in CMC becomes empty so that I have to enter the database password and choose "Use same database logon as when report is run" when viewing and scheduling report.
    What is interesting to me is that the UMT seems to migrate the report along the database logon password because I can see the encrypted password in the report database logon property in CMC.  The workaround is to reenter the database logon password in the report database logon property in CMC.
    With this said, there are hundreds of the Crystal reports and the workaround would consume lots of manual work by update each report's database logon password in CMC.
    For other customers who have more crystal reports, I wonder if there is an automated way to update the crystal report's database logon password on BI4.1 or if this is an isolated incident on my new BI4.1 SP03 environment.
    I run UMT in command line to perform livetolive migration, and my steps are listed below
    cd "E:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\java\apps\upgradeManagementTool\jars\"
    "E:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64\sapjvm\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx56g -Djava.library.path="..\..\..\..\win64_x64" -jar upgrademanagementtool.jar -internal_use_only_noversioncheck -responsefile LIVETOLIVEResponseFile.txt

  • The database logon information for this report is either incomplete

    Hello All
    I have installed a full licensed version of crystal reports server 2008 onto a windows server 2003 virtual server.
    I am getting the following error message when trying to run some reports when i am logged in as the adminstrator
    'The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect.'
    Some reports work and some dont, I use the same login information for all reports, same username and same password, same machine datasource and all the reports  run fine in crystal designer 2008
    The only difference i can see is that the error mainly occurs with reports that use stored procedures, the ones that dont work fine.
    I not sure how to resolve this problem as i have tested the login and the datasoure and it works fine, just not through crystal reports server

    Further to this i've realized that this only happens with reports which have been updated to use a stored procedure from a query file. And the reports dont use any repository objects

    We have published a crystal report (XI) to InfoView (XI R2 SP2) and we are getting the following error for the database login.
    "The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect."
    The report is working fine in Crystal Reports XI.
    The report is using the OLE DB connection to ORACLE.
    The same server is running WebI reports against the same ORACLE DB. Thanks

    Hi,
    We configure DSN with windows authentication and report in CMC has the configuration information like this
    Server Name: Populated
    Database: populated
    User: Empty
    Password: Empty
    For the report to run, do we have 6400 to 6490 ports open?
    we have port 1433 open between database and CR server but not the 6400 - 6490 ports open?
    Thanks in advance

  • "In-Memory Database Cache" option for Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition

    Hi,
    In one of our applications, we are using TimesTen 5.1.24 and Oracle 9i
    databases (platform - Solaris 9i).
    TimesTen holds application information which needs to be accessed quickly
    and Oracle 9i is a master application database.
    Now we are looking at an option of migrating from Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g
    database. While exploring about Oracle 10g features, came to know about
    "In-Memory Database Cache" option for Oracle Enterprise Edition. This made
    me to think about using Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition with "In-Memory
    Database Cache" option for our application.
    Following are the advantages that I could visualize by adopting the
    above-mentioned approach:
    1. Data reconciliation between Oracle and TimesTen is not required (i.e.
    data can be maintained only in Oracle tables and for caching "In-Memory
    Database Cache" can be used)
    2. Data maintenance is easy and gives one view access to data
    I have following queries regarding the above-mentioned solution:
    1. What is the difference between "TimesTen In-Memory Database" and
    "In-Memory Database Cache" in terms of features and licensing model?
    2. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option integrated with Oracle 10g
    installable or a separate installable (i.e. TimesTen installable with only
    cache feature)?
    3. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option same as that of "TimesTen Cache
    Connect to Oracle" option in TimesTen In-Memory Database?
    4. After integrating "In-Memory Database Cache" option with Oracle 10g, data
    access will happen only through Oracle sqlplus or OCI calls. Am I right here
    in making this statement?
    5. Is it possible to cache the result set of a join query in "In-Memory
    Database Cache"?
    In "Options and Packs" chapter in Oracle documentation
    (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/license.102/b14199/options.htm
    #CIHJJBGA), I encountered the following statement:
    "For the purposes of licensing Oracle In-Memory Database Cache, only the
    processors on which the TimesTen In-Memory Database component of the
    In-Memory Database Cache software is installed and/or running are counted
    for the purpose of determining the number of licenses required."
    We have servers with the following configuration. Is there a way to get the
    count of processors on which the Cache software could be installed and/or
    running? Please assist.
    Production box with 12 core 2 duo processors (24 cores)
    Pre-production box with 8 core 2 duo processors (16 cores)
    Development and test box with 2 single chip processors
    Development and test box with 4 single chip processors
    Development and test box with 6 single chip processors
    Thanks & Regards,
    Vijay

    Hi Vijay,
    regarding your questions:
    1. What is the difference between "TimesTen In-Memory Database" and
    "In-Memory Database Cache" in terms of features and licensing model?
    ==> Product has just been renamed and integrated better with the Oracle database - Times-Ten == In-Memory-Cache-Database
    2. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option integrated with Oracle 10g
    installable or a separate installable (i.e. TimesTen installable with only
    cache feature)?
    ==> Seperate Installation
    3. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option same as that of "TimesTen Cache
    Connect to Oracle" option in TimesTen In-Memory Database?
    ==> Please have a look here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/timesten/quickstart/cc_qs_index.html
    This explains the differences.
    4. After integrating "In-Memory Database Cache" option with Oracle 10g, data
    access will happen only through Oracle sqlplus or OCI calls. Am I right here
    in making this statement?
    ==> Please see above mentioned papers
    5. Is it possible to cache the result set of a join query in "In-Memory
    Database Cache"?
    ==> Again ... ;-)
    Kind regards

  • Can I use Webservices SDK for scheduling Reports?

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement to use Webservices SDK. The process flow is explained as below:-
    PeopleSoft calls Java component which schedules the BO Reports by calling BO program Objects. I was using BOE SDK before. But SAP advised to move to Webservices SDK as to remove CORBA connection issues.
    Can I use Webservices SDK for scheduling Reports?
    Please update.
    Thanks,
    Anu

    Its possible to schedule reports from web services SDK. Its stated in the Web services SDK Doc.

  • Prompting for the database logon while opening the report in CMC

    I created a report and saved in the Crystal server 2008 repository.  I set the  default Database configuration as
    report > Schedule > Database Logon > set password
    or tick "Use same database logon as when report is run" in Default Settings > Database Configuration.
    But when I am click on View for the report still it is promting for the database loging name and password.
    is there any other settings required for this.
    Thanks

  • Can we enable Database Name box while scheduling report

    Hi, I am boxi administrator and I am working on a unique client requirement. I don't know if it needs to be in administration forum or crystal reports.   we are using crystal reports  and  We are on boxi R2 SP3 on IIS.
    We have 8 DB servers for load balancing ( look www.intersystems.com for details of how). We want to publish report in BOXI and user will then schedule report. We don't want multiple copies as it will be difficult to maintain at several places. So please rule out the possibility of  8 copies of same Crystal report connected to each 8 DB servers.
    When user schedules report then we want to load balance the DB servers i.e. we have defined 8 ODBC connections on each application servers and want to use all ODBC ( DB) for each report. When we schedule reports then I see server name and Database name is disabled in Database logon properties.
    Please let me know if this  is possible. We will be using standard infoview to schedule reports.
    Thanks,

    This is not feasible. I figured out one option that is using Virtual IP with Load balancer. We can load balance ODBC using this. This is tested in another project of state govt.
    Thanks,

  • Use original database logon information from the report

    When publishing reports to crystal reports server, the data source password is missing and reports as set to 'prompt the user for database logon'
    Here is a description of our report creation process and how we currently set the db password.
    Reports are created using Crystal Reports Designer XI Professional.
    The data source is set up through the report wizard or manually to a sql db
    using either a sql login or integrated authentication
    the reports are then publish through the designer by going to File Save As - Choose Enterprise - then give
    report server info.
    From the CMC (crystal report server XI r2)
    we go to the folder location,
    select the report then go to the process tab
    click on database sub tab.
    we then set the database password and change the "When viewing reprot" setting to "Use same database logon as when report is run"
    reports are run both ondemand through links to infoview and through a variaty of schedules.
    How can we publish the reports to the Report Server without having to go to the CMC and set the database password, it doesnt' matter if we use sql login or integrated authentication, the result is the same.

    Hi Mario,
    some things you may want to consider.
    1) Setting up SSO to the DB. If your install is on windows and DB is SQL or Oracle, you can integrate your logon with windows and pass that all the way down to the DB when viewing the report. This is fairly complex to set up initially but simple to use from then on.
    2) DBuser and DBpass. You can populate user/pw fields associated with user account and then pass this value down to the DB. This can work with any DB instead of just SQL and Oracle. This doesn't appear to be documented yet. You may need to open a message with support if you need more details.
    3) Create reports based of a universe. This will use the universe connection (set per universe) to access the DB. For more on this post a question in the crystal reports forums.
    The kerberos SSO to the DB is documented in the [XI 3.0 admin guide|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_bip_admin_en.pdf]

  • Database Logon Failed after first report

    I have a Windows Server 2003 x86 server running IIS6 and ASP.NET. On this server, I have two different web forms set up to export Crystal Reports to PDF.
    My problem is that only one of these reports can run. For example, I open report 1 and can then reopen (generate PDF of) report1 as many times as I want. I cannot open report 2 - I get a "Database Logon Failed" error message. If I restart the server, I can generate a PDF of report 2 successfully and as many times as I want but report 1 will get a "Database Logon Failed" error message.
    Has anyone seen this behavior before? My code is very concise and manually closes the report document (and forces the garbage collection to run) once the PDF has been generated. However, for some reason, the report is staying in memory and is trying to run again even though it has been closed. It is driving me crazy.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.

    Let's get the server confusion out of the way.
    A "server" runtime install is an msi file called CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msi.
    The msi is in a download called Crystal Reports XI Release 2 - FP x.x .NET Server Install (where x.x refers to SP or FP version (e.g.; Crystal Reports XI Release 2 - FP 5.6 .NET Server Install)
    So, this gives you an easy way of installing the CR runtime on a server (e.g.. Win 2003 server). No CR server (RAS) implication here. To install the runtime, all you have to do is run the msi, provide the keycode when prompted and the runtime is installed. You should see the directory C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\3.5\bin created. No pretty interface, etc. If you want a pretty interface, you create your own setup project or msi using the CR msm files.
    Hopefully this clears up the "server" confusion.
    To the actual issue on hand.
    You say this works with older "Crystal Reports viewers" installed on a WIN 2003 64 bit server. My question is; does this CR XI r2 based app work anywhere? Your dev box? Staging server?

  • Database logon failed when opening report with parameter values in CrystalReportViewer

    Hi,
    I designed 2 crystal reports: report A contains parameter fields and report B did not contain any parameter
    I can open both reports in development site using CrystalReportViewer control. When I open the reports in testing site,
    I can open report B but can't open report A. It display error message "Database logon failed". When I set EnableDatabaseLogonPrompt
    to true and try to open the report A again, it shows database connection data which was created on report.
    In addition, it is strange that it displays error "Database logon failed" when I click an item in group tree panel of the report B. This indicates that it can load data from database
    in testing site but it connect to development database when clicking items in group tree panel
    All reports connect to database using Windows Authenication. It use dynamic database connection at runtime

    Lawrence,
    The form is where I concatenate the SQL that is the record source of both the report and the subsequent record updates. So the form is always open before the report is opened (that is where the code to open the report resides and is run), and it must remain
    open while the report is open to maintain the value of the variables, including the WHERE clause of the SQL statement that will be used for the posting process when the user closes the report. That is, the SQL used to open the report MUST match the
    SQL used when posting the records, or the user could change some selection parameter and post records not on the report.
    And I open both the form and report modally to prevent a user from inadvertently running the report's Close event outside the context of the form, with its variables all set for the posting process.
    I know I could pass all of this to public variables, but I am trying to keep it as clean and as close to the Form -> Report -> back to Form as I can.
