Enable Database Logon Prompt problem

Post Author: saied
CA Forum: .NET
I have a report in which I pass the connection information to a connectionInfo object like
ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();connectionInfo.UserID = "user";connectionInfo.Password = "password";connectionInfo.DatabaseName = "database";connectionInfo.ServerName = "server"; In the CrystalReportViewer smart tasks, I disable Database Logon Prompting, but when I do this, the Page Unload event is fired and the ReportDocument is set to null; therefore, throwing an object not set to an instance exception. I want to be able to bypass the Crystal Database Logon Prompt, but I can't figure out how to do it. If anyone knows what to do, please help. Thanks, SaiedH

I am using Visual Web Developer 2008 Edition and Crystal Reports 2008. This is one and only report so far. I am passing logon credentials from code. This report was working in crystal report but not working any more is either place crystal designer or .net.
I have to create subreport because i have one parent table and 2 diff child tables. one header table and 2 detail line tables. I was to see in report for each header tables multiple detail line items. If i join 3 tables then it multiplies no of line items and display wrong data. e.g. one BLheader (parent) table has 2 detail line items (1st child table) and 3 detailAccessories (2nd child table). I want to see 1 header, 2 detail lines, and 3 Accessories.
Please advice how should i display this in report. Thanks a lot.

Getting Database Logon Prompt when trying to run report from Infoview

I have a user who has 2 Crystal reports loaded in InfoView. The reports are similar except for the parameters. When scheduling one of the reports, she is being prompted with the database logon information everytime she tries to enter the parameters. But on the other, she isn't. All she is prompted with is the parameters of the report. Which setting in InfoView or CMC controls the database logon prompt? We are on BOE 11.5.
Thanks,

Dynamic Parameters. You'll want to get all your report designers up on this topic.
When you create a dynamic parameter in a Crystal Report, and then publish it to the Enterprise, you are creating a Business View, with all it's underlying necessary layers. Dynamic Parameters exist to be able to use the same LOV (a list of current customers) from a database for more than one report. These dynamic parameter LOVs act like a mini report that runs against the database and gets the current values for selection, then the selection(s) are used to run the overall report.
So I create a report, and in it I create a dynamic Customer LOV. When I save it, the Enterprise creates a Data Connection (DC), Data Foundation (DF), Business Element (BE), Business View (BV), and the list of values is built on the Prompt Group. So, my Business View Manager, Repository Explorer will show (in the default Dynamic Cascading Prompts folder):
Customer_DC
Customer_DF
Customer_BE
Customer_BV
Customer - Prompt Group
Customer (the LOV)
The idea is that next time I create a report and need a customer parameter, I select the existing dynamic group. If the report designer is unaware of this, and next time they create a new report that needs a customer LOV, they creates a new dynamic LOV "Customer", when saved to the Enterprise, it repeats the above. Since repository objects must have unique names, you will now have additional items something like:
Customer 2_DC
Customer 2_DF
Customer 2_BE
Customer 2_BV
Customer 2 - Prompt Group
Customer 2 (the LOV)
So you can see how that folder will get filled with duplicates pretty quickly. Which ones were created and used in which reports? Have to open the report in Crystal Reports, open the parameter for Edit and verify the LOV name (_2, _3, _4, etc). If you do in fact discover there are dupes, you can change it to a single one for all reports using a dynamic LOV, re-save them to the Enterprise, then delete the dupes in the BVM.
You've already discovered how to use the BVM to update the data connection to include/save the database credentials. The only other common issue is sometimes the LOV rights need to be changed in order to allow users to "Edit" the LOV (select different values in the LOV). You'd have to run the report as an end user, not the admin account or the report designer account to verify that works.
Another item of note is that these dynamic LOVs are run by the Report Application Server (RAS), regardless of which viewer you are using.
The Business View Manager administration guide has more information on the subject.

Database Logon prompting is in invalid state

Hi
I have written code in Visual Studio .NET 2010 and downloaded the CrystalDecisions Client components on my local. Our System is working fine with existing Classic ASP code and we are in a plan to upgrade from 2003 to 2008 Server R2. So, thought of to re-write the code from Class Asp to Asp.NET and I am successful in converting the code and was able to execute properly until last friday i.e., 30th May, 2014. But all of a sudden since June 2nd do not know what happened but all the reports are not working as expected and the Crystal viewer is opened up and a dialog opens up as enter the login credentials. Our Login information is giving a userid and password of the DSN created. So, after giving that, the report throws an error saying
"Database Logon prompting is in Invalid state".
All the reports are in Enterprise Session loaded on a different server.
I do not see neither code change in the last 4 days nor there is a change in the Enterprise Console environment. So, I do not know the root cause of the issue. I did googled it but no one had this kind of issue earlier.
PLEASE HELP! ITS VERY URGENT.!!!!
THANKS

Couple of admin things out of the way 1st:
1) If this is an urgent issue, please consider creating a phone incident here:
Crystal Single Case Technical Support - SAP Business Objects US Online Store | SAP Online Store
SCN is a community forum and you may get an answer, or not. It may be timely, or not...
2) Generally, bold facing, use of colors, etc., is frowned upon - in any forum (I edited your OP). For more details, please see the SCN Rules of Engagement
Now, to your issue:
Some good info provided, but the most critical part is missing;
Version of CR / BI / BO?
What database?
How are you connecting to the database.
You saying that the reports are in Enterprise Session, makes me think that you may be using BI / BO, but that is just a guess... However if you do have BI / BO, yo should be able to log a support incident via the SAP Service Market Place (SMP) (?).

Infoviewer - Database Logon prompt

Hi,
When trying to view a report via infoviewer, we get the database logon prompt for database user name / password.
Is there a option this can be automated?
Thanks

Hi,
Kindly implement the following steps:
1. Login to CMC with an administrator account.
2. Navigate to Folders >> Report
3. Right click on your report and select Database Configuration.
4. Enter the correct database credentials.
5. By default "Prompt the user for database logon is selected" is selected. You need to select "Use same database logon as when report is run" option and update the page.
6. Test the issue again now.

How to use native XML driver in CR XI 2 (to avoid "Database Logon Failed")?

Hello,
I have a simple scenario:
The Java Part:
-Our Java application creates a pair of files: one XML and one XSD.
-Both files are uploaded to an ASP.NET page along with a report (RPT file - based on the same XSD and some generated XML using the native XML driver) for rendering a PDF.
The ASP.NET(VB) Part:
-Reads and stores 3 files (XML, XSD and RPT) to temporary files.
-Loads the report
-Updates connection attributes ("Local Schema File" and "Local XML File") to point to those temporary files.
-Exports the report to a PDF which is returned to the Java part.
What are the correct steps to accomplish this? I keep on getting "Database logon failed." exceptions.
My code looks like this:
Dim doc As ReportDocument = New ReportDocument
doc.Load(rptPath)
Dim attr As DbConnectionAttributes
attr = New DbConnectionAttributes()
attr.Collection.Set("Local Schema File", xsdPath)
attr.Collection.Set("Local XML File", xmlPath)
Dim conn As IConnectionInfo
conn = doc.DataSourceConnections.Item(0)
conn.Attributes.Collection.LookupNameValuePair("QE_LogonProperties").Value = attr
conn.Attributes.Collection.LookupNameValuePair("QE_ServerDescription").Value = xmlPath & " " & xsdPath
conn.Attributes.Collection.LookupNameValuePair("QE_SQLDB").Value = False
doc.ExportToHttpResponse(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, Response, False, "")
Thank you for any help,

Hi,
When you get a database logon prompt like this it normally means the dataset you're creating at runtime does not match the schema that the report was designed with.
The simplest thing to do is write out the dataset to XML with Schema after you fill the dataset. Once you've written out the dataset you can go back to the report in Crystal Reports itself and try to point the report to the XML file directly. If you get any errors this confirms that the dataset does not match what the report is expecting.
Try it, address any differences, and you should be all set.
Sincerely,
Amit

RSOP: Interactive logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration

Hi,
I am trying to implement a GPO so that users are prompted to change their password 5 days before it expires. I have done this via -
Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options > Enabled
Interactive Logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration
Despite doing the above the GPO does not seem to be taking effect. I have run RSOP on my machine and a few users machines and can see that there is a red circle with an X next to
Interactive Logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration.
Below is my winlogon.log file but I am not really sure what I am supposed to be looking for. Can anyone help?

******UPDATE******
I think I have managed to get this working. I changed the source of the policy to a different GPO. I then did the following -
From a command prompt run gpupdate (without the force parameter)
Ran rsop.msc and checked the policy and this time there was no red circle with an X
Have done the same on a few users machines and it appears to apply successfully. I say this because when you go into the properties for the policy you see the following -
The policy XYZ was correctly applied
Just have to wait and see if it actually does what it says on the can.

Report sometimes prompts for database logon prior to execution

I have installed the Crystal Reports Integration Addon on our system and it works correclty for users on our terminal services server. But when I installed it on a user's PC running Windows XP, when I go to execute an existing report, the Runtime viewer launches, and then displays a Database logon panel with the Server field filled in, the database field is blank, and the SA user and password fields are populated, and I get an error that says logon failed. I type in the SA user id and password, but get the same error.
If the same user logs onto the TS server, the runtime viewer launches correctly and the report prompts for input, then displays the appropriate data (no database logon is requested). But if it runs at that user's workstation, the viewer launches, and then prompts for database logon.
We are running SAP 2007A SP00 PL47, CR Basic 2008 for SAP Business One, and the runtime viewer is Crystal Reports 2008 Runtime SP1. version 2.0.0.7

Hi Bruce,
I am not sure what the problem is.
The only workaround I can think of is to change the Integrated Security in the report to true. This means that you will be using Windows Authentication as opposed SQL Authentication. This will not prompt for SQL username and password.
Usually this is NOT an ideal process as you will have to Add each and every Windows user in the SQL Database you are trying to access. For example, you have to add DOMAIN_NAME\User_Name under the Database Properties.
I am not sure what the minimum security you need to run the report. You will try a few different options and see what works best for you. Avoid permissions that would give users ability to write to the SQL database.
Again, I know this is not ideal. But I am not sure what else can be done here.

Report that uses web services as data source, prompts for database logon

I have a crystal report that uses web services as a data source. When I deploy the report to Infoview it prompts me for a database username and password. Since I am not using a database it should not prompt me for these. I tried various options in the CMC->database settings for this report but it still prompts me for the database logon info or tells me that the database logon information is incorrect.
The report work fine in the Crystal Reports Designer.
Does anyone know how I can prevent this report from prompting me for the database logon info ?
Thanks,

What options have you tried in the CMC?
Have you tried running the report in Crystal Reports installed directly on the Enterprise machine?

Infoview prompts for database logon screen when updating dynamic parameter

I have already set up initial database ID/PW for the report in CMS, but when I I tried to update my parameter to schedule the report, it is requiring the user to enter database ID/PW again........Is there a way to set this up so that the user can bypass this step since it is quite annoying?
Thanks.

Is your lov created Business View Manager? If it is, you can store the userid and password in the data connection your business view is based on.
1) Start Business View Manager. Close the default screen that appears.
2) Click View > Repository Explorer on the menu bar.
3) Expand the Dynamic Cascading Prompts folder. Locate the "Data Connection" for the appropriate dynamic parameter. It will be in the form of <parameter_name>_DC (i.e. it will have the name of the parameter and then '_DC').
4) Double-click the Data Connection. "Property Browser" will appear.
5) Type the database user name and password in that Property Browser.
6) Set the Runtime Prompt to Never Prompt.
7) Save the changes to the Data Connection.
The prompt for database logon information will no longer appear when changing parameter values.

Prompting for Database logon

Hi all,
I hardcoded the database logon credentials for a report on CMC and selected " Use the same logon Details when you run". But when i am running the report on Infoview it is prompting for Database logon credentials. I dont want the user to be prompted for logon credentials when he runs the report from Infoview. Is there any other configuration do i need to do on CMC side. I have few other reports running on the same database, when we run those reports it is not asking for logon credentials. It is asking for only that specific report.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Environment: BOXI3.1, Crystal Reports 2008 and SQL server 2005.
Thanks and Regards
Sudharsan.

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

Prompt for database logon information

I am using CRS XI R2 SP4 on Windows
I installed a report on the server and completed the datasource information and set the checkbox for using the same database info when report is run.
However when the run is run the user is prompted for database user/password the other fields such as database host and database name are read-only.
The only difference between this report and other reports that do not exhibit this behavior is that this report has a sub-report that uses a Command object
Please suggest ways to suppress the database login prompt.

'Database logon failed (LO 26603) - Please HELP ME!

Hi everybody...
i need your help for an authentication issue whit LIVE OFFICE connections from Xcelsius2008 to Crystal Report Server 2008.
I've just connected other reports data in Xcelsius2008 but generating the SWF sometimes the SWFs can not logon and refresh the live office objects (ex. Crosstabs).
The error message is the following:
'Database logon failed (LO 26603)'
During the SWF's generation in Xcelsius (Live Office), it requires me the authentication to Logon in the Database, if I insert the correct authentication, Xcelsius refreshes the data (downloaded by CRServer) but before that it shows the Preview, it requires the authentication for Crystal Report Server 2008;
in this windows i select:
Sys: ServerName
User: Admin
Password: Password
Autentication: Enterprise
After this step, for some SWFs the data are refreshed and it works correctly, other times it shows the same error: 'Database logon failed (LO 26603)'
May you explain me why for some "live office connections" i have this problem and other times not?

Hi
    There is a known issue for live office database logon credentials in Xcelsius 2008 Release note document.
    "A Live Office-enabled SWF file using a Crystal Report that requires
database logon credentials will fail to refresh. This occurs because the
SWF file does not prompt the user for database logon credentials, even
if required by the report.
    To ensure the data is refreshed properly, the SWF file and the Crystal
Report must be saved to the same BusinessObjects Enterprise system.
A BusinessObjects Enterprise administrator must then enter the report's
database logon information in the Central Management Console so that
credentials are not required when the report is refreshed."
Woud you please check your LO and see whether it is the reason some work well and some not?
BR,

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?

How to avoid database logon dialog on every action of refreshing reports

I am using Crystal reports 208 SP2 and has a database connection to oracle database. Connection is esablished and report retrieves desired data, The problem is when ever i open this report ( which has this connection set) and do a refresh, the report the LogOn dialog pops up.
How to avoid or save this log on info such that it does not pops up the LogOn dialog when i open the report and do a refresh(F5).?

Hi Don,
Thanks for the reply. To try your suggested approach, i need some clarifications .
_Problem summary:for refrence, _
I am following the steps mentioned below to establish a database connection, and fetch the data.
1) I am using Oracle drivers for configuring the ODBC data source. As part of configuration i will specify the Oracle server name
2) In crystal reports, Using "Database" menu, i open "Database Expert" dialog and "Make New connection" by specifing the data source mentioned in step 1). During this process, (ODBC)logon information will be filled in. The user ID and password used has all the rights to access the tables in the database. Logon will be successful and connection is established.
3) Further i use the database table from the "Database Expert" on to the report and refresh(F5) to fetch the data.
After step 3, I close the report and reopen it. Now trying to refresh the database logon dialog pops up. I need to avoid this pop up
Requesting Clarification:;
1) You have specified "When you connect you have the option to use Trusted Authentication, check this option on". Where is this option. Is it in the crystal reports or is it available during data source configuration. Kindly specify.
2) Here "Enterprise logon info that has been configured on the Oracle server." implies the oracle database login information right? If yes, this login details are available and i am using this logon information(i.e. UseriD and Password) during database connection.
If No, Is "Enterprise logon info " is something which should be specifically enabled by DBA in oracle11g configuraion.
Kindly suggest.
