How to configure crystal report xml file as data source in BOE in Solaris?

Hi,
How to configure crystal reports from xml file as data source in Solaris? I didn't find any suitable driver for xml / excel files for sun solaris.
Which driver i have to use to connect xml file to crystal report to view my crystal report in solaris BOE?
And the same way excel file as data source for crystal report.
Thanks

Hi Don thanks for the reply,
In windows environment I donot have any problem when creating crystal report from Xml file and Excel file. After creating reports when I publish those into boe server in solaris, getting connection failed error.
My solaris BOE server doent have any network connection with windows machines. So i have to place the files in solaris server.
Below the steps what I tried:
1. Created crystal reports from cr designer in windows using ADO.Net(xml) and in another try with Xml webservices drivers. Reports works well as it should.
2. Saved in BOE repository in Solaris server from crystal reports and changed database configuration settings as:
 -Used custom database logon information and specified cr_xml as custom driver.
 -Chnaged database path to file directory path according to solaris server file path </app/../../>
 -tried table prefix also
 - Selected radio button use same database logon as when report is run saved.
My environment :
SAP BOXI3.1 sp3
crystal reports 2008 sp3
SunOS
Cr developing in windows 7.
For Excel I tried with ODBC in windows but I can't find any ODBC or JDBC drivers for Excel in solaris.
Any help to solve my issues
Thanks

Sub reports In Crystal reports XML as a data Source

Hi,
I am facing one problem related to Sub reports functionality in crystal reports as XML as a data Source. We are using CrystalReports XI for this.
I was generated PDF's using crystal reports from ruby on rails, by using the JAVA API to produce the PDF by taking the XML,XSD,and RPT files as parameters. I succeed in this case
and the way we are communicating with JAVA API using from my Ruby on Rails application by the following link.
http://rorataspire.wordpress.com/2008/06/13/how-to-integrate-crystal-reports-with-ruby-on-rails/
Right Now my problem is as follows.
The problem with the sub reports generation from crystal reports. We had one main report file(RPT), In that we are using the Sub reports,for that sub reports need to parse the XML's and XSD's dynamically based on the report encountered on the main(RPT)file,but to send more than one XSD's and XML's dynamically based on the sub report, to the JAVA API from Ruby on Rails application I am not succeeded. So as a result PDF with the Dynamic data for Sub reports is not fulfill.
Your help is appreciable, Thanks in advance.

Is this a coding question or a data source format question?

How to design crystal report with web service data source?

I want to design and run a Crystal Report 2008 against my ADO.NET DataSet from web service method.
I choose New Report, for Data I choose XML, then "Use Web Data Source" hit next, then choose "HTTP WSDL URL" I enter http://localhost/RDWS/Service.asmx?wsdl, hit Next, I leave HTTP username and HTTP password blank. Then I see the Services, Ports and Methods screen. Services: Service, Ports: ServiceSoap, Methods: CustomerOrdersDataSet
When I click Finish, I get Logon Failed, Details, Schema file is invalid. error:Element Schema@htttp://www.w3.or/2001XMLSchemal not found.
How can I get this to work?

The native XML driver is incompatible with ADO.NET DataSet XML. The specific issue is that the driver cannot handle the recursive definition on "Schema" that the .NET DataSet XML uses.
The workaround is to create a .NET class that Web References, invoke the Web Service method for the DataSet, then returns it.
Use the ADO.NET (XML) driver in Crystal Report to consume the .NET data source.
Note - when you deploy your report, ensure you deploy the DLL for the .NET class you've created.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

How to configure Crystal Report from Test DB to Production DB

Hi,
I have a VB/asp.net application that is currently using Oracle DB.
Now, I'm creating a new Crytal report that will connect using any userID, password, database, servername on runtime.
When I created the Crystal Report I used the Oracle OLE/DB connection using the test database logon information now I would like to make this dynamic at form load event which I have my crystal report viewer configured and then pass the dataset regardless if it is coming from test or production database.
Now, at form load connection using the test database I can see the report properly which I provided with the same logon information when the crystal report was created but when I switch the login using the production database, it doesn't get the correct datasource and logon information and it still uses the test datasource.
I would appreaciate if you can give me a solution or any links of the previous threads that has similar issue with resolution or any sample that may help.
Thank you,
Ryan

Hi Ryan
I'd start with these samples:
csharp_win_dbengine.zip / vbnet_win_dbengine.zip
csharp_win_subreport_logon.zip / vbnet_win_subreport_logon.zip
Link to the samples and others is in this wiki: Crystal Reports for .NET SDK Samples - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki
Next, I find the Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005 Walkthroughs to be an absolute gem (and it applies to all versions of CR and VS).
And of course, the developer help files:
SAP Crystal Reports .NET SDK Developer Guide
SAP Crystal Reports .NET API Guide
Now, one thing you don't mention is which APIs you are using; CR, or RAS - both of which may be available to you depending on the version of CR and VS you are using... RAS Developer Help files are here:
Report Application Server .NET SDK Developer Guide
Report Application Server .NET API Guide
The RAS APIs are a bit more complicated, but way more powerful. And there is even a utility that will write the DB logon code for you:
KBA: 1553921 - Is there a utility that would help in writing database logon code?
Finally, don't forget to search this SCN Space. Search box is in the top right corner. I find using short search string is best. E.g.; 'crystal net logon' will return a number of KBAs (notes), wikis, blogs, etc., etc.

How to configure Crystal Reports 2008 and IIS7 and Windows Server 2008?

I have downloaded and installed the trial for Crystal Reports 2008 on our Windows 2008 server. I can open Crystal Reports on the server just fine, but I get HTTP 500 errors when I attempt to view a report hosted on that server via the web.
As far as I can tell, the handler mappings in IIS7 are not configured properly, although I confirmed that the Crystal Reports 2008 install did add several handlers. I read that I must configure the application pool to enable 32-bit applications. I did that and am still getting the same error. Documentation seems sparse and I've spent the better part of the day searching the forum here with no luck. What am I missing?

Don,
Thank you for the quick response!
We will ultimately be using ASPX/C#, but this simple case has a very basic report with no databind, just a single text label that reads "test succeeded" and I'm attempting to access it by direct URL (i.e. "http://192.168.99.21/crystalreportviewers12/test.rpt"). This works on our Windows 2000 server running Crystal Reports 8.
I've also tested with a simple test.aspx file with only the line "Response.Write(System.DateTime.Now.ToString())" and that works just fine. This file is in the same folder as the test.rpt file.
If I leave the Application Pool set for the "Integrated" managed pipeline mode, I continue to get a rather generic "500 - Internal server error". If I switch it to "Classic", I get the following error:
Failed to Execute URL.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

How to configure crystal report 2013 with oracle 11g

hey all,
i download trial version SAP Crystal Report 2013 and i have Database with 11g and i want to connect with my database and try to develop reports
but my issue is that i'm not able to connect with database. Can anyone please help to connect with database.
i am new be with oracle database so it will help me if any one go thru step by step or any link,

Hi Sandip,
All you need is a 32-bit Oracle driver to be installed on the machine you're developing the reports on.
If you already have both the 64-bit and the 32-bit drivers, make sure the Path variable under 'system variables' points to the 32-bit home.
You can then either create an ODBC DSN or use the 'Oracle Server' native driver that shows under 'Database Expert' to create the report.

Crystal Reports 2008 and Excel data source

I want to use a large Excel-sheet (with 139569 lines) as a data source for a report. Crystal Reports 2008 only seems to accept Excel sheets as a data source if they are stored in Excel 97-2003 format. But, then there is a limit of 65536 lines and I miss more than half of the data I need to process. Does anyone have an idea how I can solve this problem??

Hello,
No work around in CR when connecting to xls files. CR can only use xls files which has the 65K row limit. Our next version does support xlxs files though. Cr for VS 2010 is available, no Designer outside of the IDE though. CR 2011 is still in beta and no release data announced yet.
For now all you can do is limit your sheets to 65k or export your XLS files to Access, must also be an MDB file type, not the new extended type. Once in an Access database now you can use it as your data sources.
You can use a temp database so it gets destroyed each time or simple delete all records. Up to you how to manage it.
Thank you
Don

Crystal Reports 2008 - Excel 2007 Data Source

Have been using Crystal reports 10 and have downloaded 2008 but I can't see a way that I can use an Excel 2007 spreadsheet .xlsx as a datasource. The reason I need 2007 is due to the increased number of columns.
Can anyone confirm if it can be done if so how
cheers
Malcolm

Hello,
Sorry its not supported. Next version of CR will support it.
CR 2008 will generate sheets for every 65,000 rows of data.
If you need that many coumns you may want to look at some other export format or refining your data.
Thank you
Don

Will OBIEE Support creating reports from 2 different data sources

Hello Guys
I am new to BI . Can anybody let me know how to create a report using 2 different data sources .
Ex: Suppose we have 10G and SQL server , can we import tables to rpd and join 1 fact & dimension from 10G and 1 Fact from SQL server to the 10G tables . If so ,
1) Will the repository be consistent ?
2) Is it a best practice to do this kind of modeling ?
3) Will it affect the performance of the reports ?
Your advice is highly appreciated .

Hi,
Dont try to do this at the BI server layer. Oracle has special abilities to do this thing. So use the power of oracle to import the tables from the sql server to oracle and in the bi server just create one data source.
you can browse for *'DBLINK'* in oracle.

Karthick

How does a PowerBuilder 12.6 program invoke a Crystal Report 2013 file (rpt)?

Background:
We have been trying to find a solution how to invoke Crystal Reports file (.rpt) from Powerbuilder 12.6.
From the various forum discussions, it seems that the Crystal Viewer OLE control has been deprecated in Crystal Reports 2013.
What methods are available to invoke Crystal Reports 2013 rpt files from Powerbuilder 12.6, if any?
What methods are available to invoke Crystal Reports 2013 rpt files from other platforms, e.g, C++, .NET, Java, etc.?
Please post a solution or suggestion to accomplish this.
Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

Hi Leonard;
You might want to ask this question as well in the CR Forum as SAP now owns that product as well. I am sure that Delhi, VB, etc developers must also need to know.

How to use Crystal Reports XI release 2 Preview with Lotus Notes Scripts ?

 Hi all, How to use Crystal Reports XI release 2 Preview with Lotus Notes 7 Scripts ? Thank's 

Hi,
we are using Lotus Notes and Crystal Reports for preview and printing reports from our Lotus Notes Applications. We use the RDC object model. For previewing the reports we export them in an pdf-file and then start the PDF Reader to show the Preview. This works fine.
But with Crystal Reports > 11 the RDC Object Model is no longer supportet, so we look for another way to preview and print our reports.
I try to preview a report build with crystal report XI release 2 in my thick client (Lotus Notes) using java reporting component JRC, this report uses an native xml file as datasource. If the datasource is saved with the report everything works fine, but otherwise I have the following error:
JRCAgent1 detected an exception: javax.xml.namespace.QName: method getPrefix()Ljava/lang/String; not found
I also tried the .jars from Crystal4Eclipse. Doesn't work. When I use Eclipse to view the report everything works fine. The class QName exitsts in the jaxrpc.jar and in the xbean.jar, but only in the xbean.jar a Methode getPrefix exists.
This is what we tried:
Works fine with RDC. Doesn't work with JRC until now.
Did this help you ?
Perhaps you con help me with the JRC, because I'm a java newbee so any ideas could be helpful.
