Email Subscription Fails when report includes and Excel ODBC Data Source

I have developed a report in SSRS vs3 which uses a SQL 2008r2 datasource and an Excel datasource using an ODBC connection.
The report runs perfectly well manually, and from a subscription it will run the report and write the file to a UNC folder.
However if i try to setup a subscription to email the file it fails everytime with the following message
"Failure sending mail: Exception 0xc0000005 was generated at address 0x000007FEF1D95B3B Mail will not be resent."
I have tried the usual searches online but not managed to find an explination, work around or resolution.
Thank you in advance for any help offered.

Hi Adam,
Based on my research, the problem may occur if the From field of the e-mail message contains more than 255 characters or there are something wrong with cdosys.dll library, because all the errors come from exchange's cdosys.dll library (CDO - Collaboration
Data Objects) that SSRS uses to send emails.
In the first scenario, please ask the System administrator to check if the mail server has been updated or if there is any error in the mail server. In the second scenario, restart report server could help as you basically restarting the process and reloading
all libraries.

Using Excel & ODBC data source to get data

I've been using MS Excel to extract MS SQL Server data from our ERP system for years but we are now moving to Oracle 12i. What are my options in the Oracle world? Can it be configured much the same way; that is by configuring an ODBC data source and connecting directly to the database???
Thanks in advance.

Exporting to PDF fails when report includes a barcode

Post Author: Lorne Chisholm
CA Forum: Exporting
I am getting the following error when I try to export a Crystal Report file to a PDF format:
CRAXDRT Error Occured on Server. -2147189152: Cannot find the QE property
I am able to export the report to RTF or Excel format without getting any errors. I am also able to export the same report if I remove the barcoded field. The font I am using is Bar Code 39. The version of Crystal Reports that I am using is 11.
I would like to know what the QE property is and more importantly how to resolve this issue. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

I have a similar problem. I am trying to print a report via the WEB. I have the font installed on the webserver but the print function does a conversion to PDF prior to printing. The barcode font does not appear in the PDF file and therefore does not pront properly. I dont get an error, it just kills the Barcode Font and prints the text. I installed the Bacode functions on my design machine but what needs to go on the server besides the font ?
Did you ever resolve this issue?

Using Excel as data source

Hi,
i have created a crystal report that uses Excel as data source. Reason i used excel is for easy updating of data by non IT users. The report runs perfectly on my computer, but when i upload it to Infoview, there is error when i run the 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."
May i know what causes the error? There is no user id/password to access the excel file.
I have also tried saving the excel in the same server as the crystal report server, but i still face the same error.
Pls help!
Thanks

You would have created a connection in your local system to access the XLS data
You should be creating a similar connection in the server as well and then update the rpt file with the connection details in CMS
Thanks,

How do I sink my email so that when I read and delete something on my iPhone it is deleted on my other devices (iMac & iPad)? My email is through roadrunner. And how do I set my email to automatically delete messages after a set time frame?

For that to happen you need to have an IMAP email account. Contact Sroadrunner to see if they provide such.

MBEWH is the valuation history, this is only updated with the first movement after a period closure. And the period is a month.
There is no table in SAP that holds the stock information on daily basis.
You have to develope this yourself. Easiest method by copying a table like MBEW and MARD daily to a Z-Table.
A stock situation at a certain date can be calculated with MB5B.

Excel-2007 cannot connect to Oracle ODBC data source, Control Panel can.


I cannot make an ODBC connection from Exce-2007 to Oracle work. I am an expert Excel and VBA user (since 1994) and I have frequently used Excel to access ODBC databases, including Oracle (I have done this with Excel-2003 both with worksheet queries and have written VBA ADO-connection routines). And even though in Excel-2007 a worksheet ODBC query is supposed to be easier to create than in previous version of Excel, my connection fails. Any suggestions and all help are welcome and much appreciated.
DETAILS


1) What is my system? I am using Excel-2007 on Windows Vista x64 and Oracle server v.11g on my computer (all this is on my computer, no network issues).
2) Why use Excel with Oracle at all? I use Excel-2007 to access Oracle rather than Access-2007 (or any other application like TOAD, etc.) because I do engineering calculations with the data stored in Oracle. These calculations are easier done in Excel (I suppose that one alternative to this could be to use some sql or Access to get the data from the database, then store it as plain vanilla CSV file, then open this file in Excel, then do the math (the math involves complex optimisation algorithms), then save the results as CSV, then use some sql or Access to put the data back into the database. Howwever this does not strike me as a quick or neat solution. And after all Excel has been designed to access ODBC databases, so why not use it?)
3) What do I do in Excel-2007 that won't work? I create an ODBC link to Oracle that does not work. In Excel-2007 this is straightforward:

<ul>
<li>define an ODBC connection (Data tab --> From other sources --> From data connection wizard);</li>
<li>define a query on the worksheet -- that's it, this is all!</li>
</ul>

I start with creating an ODBC connection:
a) I choose an ODBC data source type: ODBC DSN
b) Excel-2007 displays the list of the available ODBC data sources. I see in it my Oracle database name and I select it.
c) Excel-2007 displays the Data Link Properties:
- the "Provider" has a list of the OLE DB drivers with preselected "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers". I keep this default selection.
- the "Connection" tab has a connection string "DSN=<my database name>" which I keep, it also has fields for the user name and the password, which I fill with the correct credentials.
- Finally there is a button "Test Connection", which when I click produces the following error message:
"Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. 
Unespecified error"

4) Additional food for thought:
a) In the above walk-through the only data, which I type, are the user name and password, everything else is selected from lists offered by Excel-2007, hence any possibility of typos being the cause of the problem can safely be discarded.
b) I can test the ODBC driver in the Control Panel and it shows that it can connect to the Oracle database:
- in Control Panel --> Admin Tools --> Data Sources (ODBC) on the "User DSN" tab I can see the list of the available ODBC data sources (same list as in Excel-2007, point 3b above) with the name of my database in it;
- selecting the name of my database from the list of the sources and clicking "Configure" button opens a tab with Data Source Name (same as in Excel-2007), TNS Service Name and User ID. I enter <user name>/<password> and click "Test Connection" button. A message "Connection successful" appears (just for a test I enter incorrect user credentials and "Unable to connect" message appears)
BOTTOM LINE


The procedure for using an ODBC connection from Excel is very simple, in the past I have created and used such connections numerous times with Excel-2003 and earlier on Win-XP and earlier. But now on Excel-2007 and Vista-x64 I cannot make it work.
Also, testing an ODBC connection driver is really easy and simple to be done in the Control Panel. There testing the same ODBC connection, which fails in Excel-2007, results in success.
I am frustrated by the simplicity of the problem and yet the persistant error. I have lost now two full days in failed attempts to make the simple procedure work and in searching the internet for answers.
All help is highly appreciated <img class="emoticon" src="images/emoticons/happy.gif" border="0" alt="" width="16" height="16" />,

Did you find the solution to your problem?
If not, I think I may know.
Excel 2007 is a 32-bit application.
When installing 32-bit applications in a 64-bit environment, the "default" location is:
C:\Program files (x86)\...
Excel then launches from this location.
However, when it connects to Oracle and passes the name of the calling program, Oracle attempts to "interpret" the value of (x86) as if
the value within the parenthesis are being passed as a reference. Of course, iOracle doesn't find anything, so the result is (),
and then it cannot return the connection info back to the calling application.
I corrected it by installing Excel in C:\Program Files\, and once launched from that location, it works the same as on the 32-bit machines.
However, at my location, they are FORCING Excel to be installed in the(x86) location.
What I'm trying to discover now is:
Is it possible to flag Oracle to NOT process the embedded variables?
Or, is it possible to assign a variable in Oracle such that x86 = "(x86)", so that the end result is viable?
Have you had any luck with your installation?
thanks,
Paul

Problem using excel file as odbc data source

hi, I have followed the instruction in
"Creating a Repository Using the Oracle Business Intelligence Administration Tool"
[http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bi_ee_1013/bi_admin/biadmin.html]
and established a odbc data source using an excel file.
however, I found that the Microsoft Excel Driver always unable to handle complex column formula.
for example,
FILTER(sourceTable$.NoOfItem USING (sourceTable$.Kind = 'Lemon'))
when there are two columns using FILTER, there is an error about the ODBC driver.
=============================================================
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).

However, I change the data source using SQL SERVER, no error occurs and it shows the result correctly.
how to slove this problem?

I have the same issue. Does anyone know how to solve it?

What is an ageing report? What are the data sources used to develop an agin

Hello BW gurus,

What is an ageing report? What are the data sources used to develop an aging report
     Worked on month-end and year end processes such as Balance Sheet Statements and Profit and Loss Accounts.
What data sources does one use to get Balance sheet and P&L accounts tables and fields.
     Involved in the end to end implementation of BW at Reliance Group as a team member.
What are the tasks a BW consultant normally performs when he is involved in an end to end implementation project or
a full life cycle project?
     Extensively worked on BW Statistics to optimize the performance of Info Cubes and to create Aggregates.
What do you mean when you say worked on BW statistics to optimize the performance of Info Cubes.
What are aggregates why do you need them?
     Prepared design documents from the Business Requirement documents and identified the
relevant data targets for satisfying the customer requirements.
What are the design documents does one prepare, please give an example.
Is cube a data target?

What is an ageing report? What are the data sources used to develop an aging report
Aging refers to values in different time period ranges. Example, the customer (credit) aging report can look like this.
customer (credit) for current period, 0 to 30 days, 30 to 90 days, 90 to 120 days. This is the way aging is classified.
What data sources does one use to get Balance sheet and P&L accounts tables and fields.
For P&L information, you may use 0FI_GL_6 datasource (or 0FI_GL_10 if you use ERP 5.0 version). This datasource reads the same information used in R/3 transaction f.01 (table glt0).
What are the tasks a BW consultant normally performs when he is involved in an end to end implementation project or a full life cycle project?
Requirement gathering, blueprint creation, development etc

Crystal report for visual studio 2010 data source object is not valid error

Hello,
I receive an "data source object is not valid" error when I want to print one CR document after setting an ADODB.Recordset on SetDataSource method of my report.
On my developer station, this operation works without problem but on client station, I get this error.
The redistributable package for client is installed on client side (CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_1.msi).
Can someone help me?
Thank you.

Thank's for your answers
Dim rsPkLst As ADODB.Recordset = Nothing
Dim report As New crPickingList
' Fill ADODB.Recordset with SQL Statment
If rsPkLst.RecordCount > 0 Then
report.SetDataSource(rsPkLst) ' Error : The data source object is invalid
EndIf
This error appears during "report.SetDataSource(rsPkLst)" instruction.
ADODB drivers are already installed and my ADODB.Recordset is filled with good records.
This project is an updated project from Visual Studio 2003 to Visual studio 2010 and the old version was running fine.
Developer and client station runs under Windows XP SP3.
On developer side I install CRforVS_13_0_1 (BuildVersion=13.0.1.220.Cortez_CR4VS).
On client side I install CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_1.msi.
Both stations use Microsoft .Net Framework 4.
Move to ADO.NET is a solution but, for the moment, I do not have the time to change all applications from my company.
(I get this error from all application updated from VS 2003 to VS 2010 developed since 2005)

Crystal Report runtime error while changing Data Source Location

Dear All
We are using "Crystal reports for SAP Business one".The Crystal reports version is 12.1.
We built a report in another database with another server.
As we are importing the report in another database of another server,
I am not able to change the Data Source location.
When I am trying to change it,it gives Runtime error and closed automatically.
How can i resolve and change the data source location?

hi kambadasan,
is your CR version the same from which you design the report and to the another server? also did you import your report directly to SBO without changing the data source first? in the case you should update first your Data Source in Crystal Report IDE before importing it to SBO.
regards,
Fidel

Why do SQL sample programs work when there is no entry for the data sources in the ODBC Data Source Administrator that are used by the sample program?

Hi,
I am trying to understand how to access an SQL database from CVI.
I don't understand how the sample programs shipped with the toolkit can access the database they use if it is not listed in the ODBC Data Source Administrator.
In the code, I see the line:
hdbc = DBConnect ("DSN=CVI SQL Samples");
However, there is not an entry that I can find in the ODBC Administrator for "CVI SQL Samples."
The SQL help suggests there should be a User DSN named, "CVI32_Samples", but I don't see that entry in the ODBC Administrator on my win-7 system.
I believe the sample program is accessing a database file named, "C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\CVI\Samples\sql\samples.mdb".
Exactly how is the call to DBConnect() translated to the file, "samples.MDB", if there is no entry in the ODBC Administrator?
Regards,
Mark

I figured it out. There is a 32 bit ODBC administrator and a 64 bit ODBC administrator. The ODBC administrator I run through the control panel is the 64 bit ODBC administrator. To access the 32 bit administrator I need to run, "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe".
I am running the samples in 32 bit mode, so I need to use the 32 bit ODBC administrator.
Best,
Mark

Difference bw the data staging of generic and appli specefic data sources

Hi,
Can anyone tell the difference between data staging of generic and appl specific data sources. Like we know that LO data stage in queued delta, update queue and BW delta queue, i want to know actually where the generic data stages before it is loaded into BW.
Thanks.

Generic data sources are based on either a DB table/view, a function module or an ABAP query. So normally the data stages in the corresponding DB tables or you calculate it at extraction time. There is no update queue like in LO.
Best regards
Dirk
