How Crystal report XI connect to SQL 2005(9.0.3073)

hi
i am trying to connect sql server 2005 to create a new report, however, it seems Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL server is not working for sql server 2005
please advise which data link i have to use for connecting sql server 2005?
thanks

it seems Microsoft OLE DB provide for SQL server is only working for sql 2000 and earlier version, for sql 2005, it should use sql server provide, however, it is not an option in the crystal report?
i don't want to use ODBC to connect sql 2005, any body knows if there is other way to connect sql 2005?

  • How Crystal Report XI connect o sql server 2005

    hi
    i am tring to create a report connecting to sql server 2005, however, i could not find a proper provider to connect sql server 2005, and i found Microsoft OLE DB provider for sql is only suited for sql server 2000 and earlier version, and i dont want to use ODBC connecting, so my question if there is other way to connect sql 2005 in the Crystal report XI?

    Hi
    Due to timing of product release dates, Crystal Reports XI was not tested with Microsoft SQL Server 2005. The changes made to connectivity drivers for MS SQL Server 2005 are significant and have been addressed in Crystal Reports XI Release 2.
    As per Supported platforms document of CR XI only the below SQL servers are supported:
    Microsoft SQLServer 2000 SP3 with
    - ODBC MDAC 2.8
    -JDBC SQLServer 2000
    - OLEDB MDAC 2.8
    Microsoft SQLServer 7.0 SP4 with
    -ODBC MDAC 2.7
    -OLEDB MDAC 2.7
    However MS SQL Server 2005 is mentioned as supported in CRXIR2 as below:
    MS SQL Server 2005 with
    - Microsoft ODBC MDAC 2.8
    -Microsoft ODBC SNAC (Native Client)
    -Microsoft OLEDB MDAC 2.8
    -Microsoft OLEDB SNAC (Native Client)
    Contact your sales representative to obtain a copy of Crystal Reports XI Release 2. A minor product update is required for CR XI Release 2 to enable reporting off MS SQL Server 2005.
    For more information regarding changes in CRXI and CRXIR2 please refer to the documentations in the link provided by Amit.
    Hope this helps!!

  • Crystal 8.5 connection with Sql 2005

    Post Author: sgtpep
    CA Forum: Semantic Layer and Data Connectivity
    Hello all,I'm not sure this is the right forum group to post in, but here it goes:I have a  problem when trying to print my crystal 8.5 reports through a sql 2005 native client.Some of them work just fine, but i get this error: "print job failed cannot open sql server" for others.I've been doing a little research, but i can't seem to find a definitive answer on this topic: Can/Does crystal 8.5 work with sql 2005 databases.I did find something about upgrading my drivers, but i'm not sure where to find them and what i should be looking for.Thanks in advance for your help,Eric

    I see - the field notice does mention ICM 7.2(7)ES139.
    Multiple occurrences of this issue have been observed since October 14, 2010
    and on all Unified ICM/CCE releases. This is not a regression defect. The issue
    occurs when a Microsoft SQL Server query operation is performed to compare the
    'lastUpdateKeys' on AW and Central Controller/Logger, during the incremental
    copying of configuration changes to the local AW. In addition, using the ICMDBA
    tool to backup and restore the database with "Truncate Config Message Log"
    option checked can lead to a similar issue that causes the ICM/CCE Router to
    reject configuration updates. No UpdateAW restart is observed in this
    situation.
    I mistakenly thought it was caused by the SQL upgrade from 2000 to 2005.
    By the way, regarding defect CSCtj65060, I NEVER check that "Truncate Config Message Log" option when exporting the config.

  • How to create a Crystal Report to connect to Oracle

    Hi,
    When I create a Crystal report to connect to SQL Server, I create a stored procedure to get all data I need and connect to it from Crystal Report.(In the stored procedure, I created temp tables, used cusor etc to run data.) But now I need to use a Oracle database. I heard I need to create a package and put this stored procedure in this package. Questions:
    1. if I need to create a package, how can I call the stored procedure from it?
    2. Can I create temp table in this procedure too? I need to create some temp tables to join together to get complex data.
    3. if I want the return data from stored procedure, do I still "select ... from ..." or there is another other ways?
    I am so desperated. Please help. I know this are very silly questions. But please.

    Hi Jenny,
    We are also using Crystal Reports for our Oracle Database, we normally just select the tables we want to use or create our own SQL query.
    However, if you really want to use Oracle stored-procedure (which performs faster than a SQL query because the stored procedure is compiled in advance), you can look at this document:
    http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/TechnicalPapers/scr_oracle_stored_procedures.pdf
    Hope this will answer your questions.

  • How to write SQL in crystal report that can reuse SQL execution plan cache?

    I write the following SQL with crystal report parameter fields, and it is connecting to SQL 2005
    Select Name from Customer where CustID = '{?CustID}'
    The SQL profiler show that It is an ad-hoc query, how to write parameterized SQL which can reuse Execution Plan.

    Since there are too many report, it is not possible rewrite all. Is that crystal report do not have option to change how it query the database ?

  • How to enable remote connections in SQL Server 2008

    I'm trying to enable remote connections in SQL Server 2008 R2 as described in the following article.  I see the error message at the top of the article. 
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/walzenbach/archive/2010/04/14/how-to-enable-remote-connections-in-sql-server-2008.aspx
    One step in the article describes how to enable TCP/IP in Configuration Manager.  Specifically it says that
    'SQL Server NETWORK Configuration' should have TCP/IP enabled.
    The issue I've encountered is that my Configuration Manager
    is different than what appears in the article. My Configuration Manager shows the following:
    SQL Server 2005 Services
    SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration (32 bit)
           - Protocols for SQLExpress
    SQL Native Client Configuration (32 bit)
           - Client protocols
           - Aliases
    Note that I see 'SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration'
    rather than that for 2008.  When 'Protocols for SQLExpress'
    is expanded, there is a TCP/IP setting, but it's disabled and I see an
    Access Denied message if I try to enable this. 
    I also see a TCP/IP setting under Client protocols and successfully enabled this.  This uses port 1433 and I configured my firewall to accomodate this port as suggested in the article. 
    I also followed the other steps in the article, but still don't have remote access to SQL Server 2008 R2.  (I can access it from the office.)  I'm wondering if this remote access issue is because SQL Server
    2008 Network Configuration does not appear in Configuration Manager
    and if so, I'm interested in how this might be resolved.  (I'm running Windows 7 - 64 bit.)
    I'd appreciate any ideas on this.  Thanks.

  • Possible for AIR app connecting to SQL 2005 server

    Is it possible using Flex AIR to connection to SQL 2005

    You can send the HTTPService request to whatever back end
    technology you are
    currently using to access it. For example, if you are using
    ASP.net, you
    would still use ASP.net, but you would send back something
    that Flex
    understands, such as XML, instead of the HTML that the
    browser client
    understands.

  • Trouble connecting to SQL 2005

    I'm using Flex 3, trying to connect to SQL 2005 via ASP with IIS7.
    I was following the instructions listed [url=http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=data_3.html]here [/url] under the section "Generating an ASP .NET database application", I attempted to Create an Application from Database, following all the steps as listed, but Flex is failing to connet to my database.
    I specified a name for the connection profile (I assume this can be anything - maybe this is my mistake), on the next screen under server name I put in the name of my local SQL 2005 Server on my machine: DAVE-PC\SQLEXPRESS, I put in the name of the database AIS1010 and user ID: sa and password 1234 (these all match the credentials on my local SQL Server) and I clicked the button 'Test connection', I get the message unable to connect to database.
    I looked at the logs under the detail button, and I can see that Flex is failing to find "DAVE-PC\SQLEXPRESS'.  What am I doing wrong here?
    Is there something specific I need to do in IIS?
    D.

    I should add:
    The first line of the error details reads:
    java.sql.SQLException: Unknown server host name 'DAVE-PC\SQLEXPRESS'.
    but this is the correct server name in SQL 2005.
    also
    In the Projects Flex Server Properties root folder is: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\
    root URL is: http://localhost/
    these locations do 'validate' in Flex.
    IIS Server is running and I'm able to run other applications through it using some other applications, both in Flex and in Unipaas..

    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
    Hi All !We have some problems with Crystal Reports version 8.5 with SQL Server 2005: 1) When we want to generate a report (using data in SQL Server 2005) we have a popup message error : "impossible to loaded pdssql.dll".2) If we want to use SQL Server 2005, which Crystal Reports version we must used ? Is there any restrictions with this connectivity with 8.5 version ?Please, let me known, all informations about SQL Server 2005 and Crystal Report 8.5.Thanks for all !Best regards Anthony

    Hello Kamlesh,
    There is no expectation that the ActiveX viewer (RDC?) from CR8.5 will work in any version of Visual Studio .NET. There is also no expectation that the ActiveX viewer from CR8.5 will work on a machine with a 64 bit operating system.
    You're using VS2008. You should migrate to the bundled edition of CR for VS2008 (v10.5), the ReportDocument object, and the .NET Windows form viewer or Web form viewer.

  • 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
    IDE library path and tried to Test Connection, but got the Ping failed message : The TCP/IP connection to the host localhost, port 1433 has failed. 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),
    and that no firewall is blocking TCP connection to the port(I turned OFF Window Firewall on my OC). Can anyone tell me how can I fix this problem ?

  • Crystal Reports 2008 connecting to Crystal Server 2011

    Hello SAP Experts,
    I am new with the Crystal Client/Server platform and the only knowledge I have with the infrastructure is from the Crystal Server 2011 documentation I have pulled from SAP's website.  I have looked at a lot of online resources but very few have the answers that I need.
    I built an instance of Crystal Server 2011 running on Windows Server 2008 R2.  Our clients are currently using Crystal Reports 2008 client where they connect directly to a SQL 2008 Data Warehouse to pull reports.
    For security reasons, they want to implement Crystal Server 2011 to connect to the SQL 2008 Data Warehouse as a single point of entry, instead of having several Crystal Reports 2008 clients connecting to the SQL Data Warehouse.
    The idea is to have the clients connect to the Crystal Server; the Crystal Server will then connect to the SQL Data Warehouse so clients can pull reports from it.
    My questions are:
    1.  Is it possible to connect a Crystal Reports 2008 client to Crystal Server 2011?  If so, how do I accomplish this?
    2.  Do I need to create a Universe in order for the Crystal clients to pull data/reports from the SQL 2008 Data Warehouse?  Or is there a way I can create a connection without a Universe?
    Any help offered is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Check our site for more info but in general CR fully respects all DB security, if the user does not have permissions on the table used in the report the report will fail to run.

  • Crystal Report Universe Connection

    Hello,
    I have a Crystal report developed based on Universe as the data source. Say this report is in Dev environment. Suppose I need to promote this report to Test environment to UAT or production then how is it possible?    
    I have used import wizard using this I am able to move my report from one environment to another. report is successfully moved from source to destination but when I go to refresh the crystal report, an error is thrown (both in Crystal Report designer and Info view) :
    "Failed to open the connection. 
    Details:
    Update of the SQL command from the Universe failed. This report cannot be
    refreshed unless the SQL command is updated from the Universe."
    As such the Dev copy works fine. Please suggest me how to move a report from 1 environment to another.
    If I changes connection manually in UAT Database --> Set Database location -->update then same report work fine,
    But I have multiple reports I cannot manually edit connection of each report.
    Useful details as below.
    Crystal Reports 2008 (Service Pack 1)
    Business Objects 3.1 
    View the connection details in report.
    Set database location
    Expand Universe connection
    Properties - It will show server details of connection- user name - universe name- path of universe
    Kindly advice.

    This is the same as: Migration of Crystal Report
    Please do not cross post as this is against the SCN Rules of Engagement.
