How to configure jdbc/jndi connection in crystal report 10

Post Author: effy
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
i have tried to configure jdbc/jndi connection , i have both
drivers data base side and crystal report side but i
can't configure it. so please help if u know
something.

Sorry, but I'm not on a home pc, I'm working on a virtualized pc with a long chain of permissions ... so I cannot simply download and run an utility...
Instead... I think (I WAS thinking) someone from SAP can tell me this info ... Probably I'll buy a paid assistance ticket... But really it's a strange thing that a simply connection from a (so) paid software need a so difficult problem solving routine..
I edited my environment variales: JAVA, PATH; CLASSPATH; JAVA_DIR, and a long list of others ... to ALL point to ALL of directory containing used jars...
.. I asked my SysAdmin to edit CrConfig.xml and it's done ... classpath are rights, jdbc infos are also ok, ...
.. but none ...

I've CR 12 (2008)
I've a report actually bind to datasource via DSN to a sql server.
Now we need to migrate this connection to JDBC.
So i downloaded microsft sql driver for jdbc and copied as
C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects\Common\4.0\java/lib/external/sqljdbc4.jar
I edited CRConfig.xml. adding this full path and file name at <Classpath>
The parameters i entered are:
URL: jdbc:sqlserver://10.1.2.40:1433;DatabaseName=CPR;username=selyon;password=......
class name: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
in the second page i entere my usernmae, my password and the db name,

How do we create a jndi connection in crystal reports XI

how do we create a jndi connection in crystal reports XI when the data soiurce is configured on websphere 6.1

You need to use WLST online. I am not sure what your exact requirements are but one good way of working this is to have a WLST script that deletes all your WL customisations, like connection pools, JMS Servers etc and then creates it. That way you can run the same script repeatedly and it will get everything up to date for you. However you have to remember that everytime you add something new you need to update your delete section. Also your deleting should not fail if the item does not exist. I hope that makes sense!
As to the specifics of WLST examples to do this then check out the WLST examples in CodeShare.
If you are still having issues then post another message.

How to disconnect the database connection using crystal report

Post Author: cp_pramodu
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hi All,
We have developed an application using .Net and Crystal Reports 10 for generating Adhoc reports from Business system (db sybase 12). We are using the below mentioned script for opening rpt files.
Try
       ReportDocument1.Load(sReportName)
       For Each table In ReportDocument1.Database.Tables
              ' Get the TableLogOnInfo object.
              logonInfo = table.LogOnInfo
              ' Set the server or ODBC data source name, database name,
              ' user ID, and password.
              logonInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName = sReportServerName
              logonInfo.ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = DBName
              logonInfo.ConnectionInfo.UserID = UserName
              logonInfo.ConnectionInfo.Password = Password
              ' Apply the connection information to the table.
             table.ApplyLogOnInfo(logonInfo)
Next
'Me.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor
Me.CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = ReportDocument1
'Me.Cursor = Cursors.Default
Catch ex As Exception
'Response.Write(ex.Message)
Finally
Me.Cursor = Cursors.Default
'ReportDocument1.Close()
'ReportDocument1.Dispose()
End Try
Each time user opens the report a new connection is established to the database, can we disconnect the connection established from crystal reports, while closing crystal report. At the same time i want to setup an Idle time for these connections. In database level, i will not be able to set idle time in database level, as it affect our electronic channels.
Waiting for a reply.
Thanks & Regards,
Pramodu. C. P

Hi,
If you are reworking the application can you not build in the functionality to re-establish a connection if there is a failure? That is, a submission from the application server to the database server detects a failure, etc. and then re-establishes the connection. If you need a more frequent check than during a user-initiated roundtrip, you may be best served by using the "dummy query" technique on some time interval.
From my understanding using HA Event Notification would require a RAC database (plus a multi-threaded application and services correctly configured on the RAC-side).
In the documentation I see this:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14250/oci09adv.htm#sthref1495
"Applications must connect to a RAC instance to enable HA event notification."
In any case, this has the potential to be a bit complicated...

Cannot connect MS SQL Server2005 by using JDBC(JNDI) connection

Hi all,
I met a problem when I was trying to create a JDBC(JNDI) connection in crystal report 2008, the following error dialog shows up, it said:
Database Connector Error: 'SQL Exceptions: [SQL State:] S1000 [Error Message:] [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Connection is busy with results for another command'
here is the steps how to reproduce this problem:
1) create a DSN(Data source name) in ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog, suppose the DSN is test
    (and the DSN test show it works well)
2) start up Crystal Report 2008, click New to create a new report, the Standard Report Creation Wizard show up
3) expand Create New Connection node, then double click JDBC(JNDI) note
4) the JDBC (JNDI) dialog shows up, chooose JDBC Connection in the dialog, and fill the empty fields with:
   Connection URL: jdbc:odbc:test
   Database Classname:sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
5) click next, it comes to the next pannel, and fill the empty fields with:
    Database: MyTestDB
    UserID: sa
    Password: sa
6) then click Finish buttion.
7) a new connection is created, but when I expand the new created connection, an error dialog shows up
Database Connector Error: 'SQL Exceptions: [SQL State:] S1000 [Error Message:] [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Connection is busy with results for another command'
does anyone knows what's wrong with my setting? any help would be appreciated.

Hi Tian-liang,
Try using Microsofts JDBC driver rather than Suns. Also search these forums, other have run into the same issue.

Configure JNDI and deploy crystal report in Infoview

Hi all,
I am trying to create a JNDI context and use it while generating a
crystal report.Now this report is deployed in Business Objects XI R3.1 Edge repository so users can view them through Infoview. The main reason I wanted to use JNDI is so I dont need to specify the database connection credentials in every report.
Issue is that I am not able to figure out the process to achieve this. I created a JNDI in tomcat as per instructions in the one of the SAP notes but there is no information of how to configure the same in CMC / Infoview. If I can get information on how to
1. configure crconfig.xml (if need be) for jndi or specify jndi while creating connection in crystal report
2. configure the JNDI in CMC or Infoview so that we dont have to specify the db connection credentials for every report
that would be great.
we are using crystal reports 2008 sp1.
thanks
Joe.

I guess I found the issue. I was missing weblogic.jar in the classpath. After adding this, it worked.
Just noting the steps so anyone who comes here could be benefited. This is for Weblogic app server using Oracle 10g and Crystal reports 2008
1. Open CRConfig.xml in C:\Program Files\Business Objects\common\4.0\java
2. Inside <DataDriverCommon> and <Classpath> add the path of your ojdbc and weblogic jars
3. For the JDBC tag, the entry would be like. The <JNDIUserName> tag should reference your weblogic app server user. This is generally the userid you would use to login to weblogic console.
<JDBC>
     <CacheRowSetSize>100</CacheRowSetSize>
     <JDBCURL>jdbc:oracle:thin:<db_user_name>/<db_pwd>@<server_where_db_runs>:1521/<SID></JDBCURL>
     <JDBCClassName>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</JDBCClassName>
     <JDBCUserName><db_user_name></JDBCUserName>
        <JNDIURL>t3://localhost:7001</JNDIURL>
     <JNDIConnectionFactory>weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory</JNDIConnectionFactory>
     <JNDIInitContext>/</JNDIInitContext>
     <JNDIUserName>weblogic</JNDIUserName>
     <GenericJDBCDriver>
          <Default>
               <ServerType>UNKNOWN</ServerType>
               <QuoteIdentifierOnOff>ON</QuoteIdentifierOnOff>
               <StoredProcType>Standard</StoredProcType>
               <LogonStyle>Standard</LogonStyle>
          </Default>
          <Sybase>
               <ServerType>SYBASE</ServerType>
               <QuoteIdentifierOnOff>OFF</QuoteIdentifierOnOff>
               <DriverClassName>com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybDriver</DriverClassName>
               <StoredProcType>Standard</StoredProcType>
               <LogonStyle>MySQL</LogonStyle>
          </Sybase>
     </GenericJDBCDriver>
</JDBC>
4. Open Crystal reports designer and when you create a new connection, choose JDBC / JNDI
5. In the pop-up choose JNDI (you will see the values for Provider URL, username and context as how you specified in the CRConfig.xml file). Specify the password for weblogic user
6. Hit next and it should show you the available jndi
7. Choose a JNDI and create the report
8. Enjoy.

Connecting to crystal report via JDBC

Hi,
I am new to Crystal Reports. I want to connect to MSSQL Database using JDBC drivers. I was wondering if there is a way I can use JDBC drivers for connection with Crystal Reports when designing the report ?
Thanks
Sherif

Hi Sheriff,
I am not aware of CR 9 as it is out of support. But in CRXIR2 and CR2008 you can simply do it while creating new report. In the wizard you just need to select JDBC(JNDI) option under Create new connection.
After that just specify the connection url and JDBC class name.
I would suggest you to upgrade your product to CR2008 as it has excellent new features which would realy help you with the same.

How do I connect from Crystal Report version XI to Oracle 10G express?

I'm new to oracle 10G express and I'm developing an application that needs reports to preview some data from oracle tables.
The oracle database is installed on the server and I installed the client on my machine. I need to use the crystal report 11 to report the output. Thus, I designed a crystal report that should simply read a table on oracle and though I need to be able to connect to the oracle 10G Express Edition database. I tried to create a connection from the crystal report using the Database Expert >> Create New Connection >> Oracle Server and I include the following parameters.:
- Service: host:1521/XE
- Username: username
- Password: password
Then when I tried to connect the crystal report crashes always.
Is there any way to create a connection to the Oracle Database 10G express from Crystal Report 11?
Please advise...

Thank you bala,
First, How I should start the Listener on the database server?
Listener.ora content:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
+(SID_LIST =+
+(SID_DESC =+
+(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)+
+(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server)+
+(PROGRAM = extproc)+
+)+
+(SID_DESC =+
+(SID_NAME = CLRExtProc)+
+(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server)+
+(PROGRAM = extproc)+
+)+
+)+
LISTENER =
+(DESCRIPTION_LIST =+
+(DESCRIPTION =+
+(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))+
+(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Daoud-PC)(PORT = 1521))+
+)+
+)+
DEFAULT_SERVICE_LISTENER = (XE)
How to configure the tnsnames.ora on the client side?
tnsnames.ora content:
XE =
+(DESCRIPTION =+
+(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Daoud-PC)(PORT = 1521))+
+(CONNECT_DATA =+
+(SERVER = DEDICATED)+
+(SERVICE_NAME = XE)+
+)+
+)+
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
+(DESCRIPTION =+
+(ADDRESS_LIST =+
+(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))+
+)+
+(CONNECT_DATA =+
+(SID = PLSExtProc)+
+(PRESENTATION = RO)+
+)+
+)+
ORACLR_CONNECTION_DATA =
+(DESCRIPTION =+
+(ADDRESS_LIST =+
+(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))+
+)+
+(CONNECT_DATA =+
+(SID = CLRExtProc)+
+(PRESENTATION = RO)+
+)+
+)+
Now I`m trying to initialize this on one machine (database & client) and so the crystal report will be on the same machine where the database exist; Additionally, this machine has OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and include the Oracle 10g Express Database & Oracle 10g Express Client software.
Please check the files content I included above and give me the way on how to establish a connection from the crystal report to the database where both are installed on the same machine.
Thanks in advance...

A bug in creator when creating jdbc jndi connection

Hi,
I am using sun java studio creator for jdbc jndi connection. The syntax is
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/mydb");
conn = ds.getConnection();
It's failed. Once I change to ctx.lookup("jdbc/mydb") and the connection is created.
Once deployed to tomcat, it seems only java:comp/env/jdbc/mydb is working.
The full path(java:comp/env/jdbc/mydb) seems right from my google search.
Why creator using jdbc/mydb? Is it a bug to creator?
Thanks,
Jie

I mean a resource reference in web.xml file that looks like this:
     <resource-ref id="ResourceRef_1103225373500">
          <res-ref-name>DBConnection</res-ref-name>
          <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
          <res-auth>Application</res-auth>
          <res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
     </resource-ref>
where DBConnection is the resource alias I mentioned before:
DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/DBConnection");
Using WebSphere a binding between this above defined ResourceRef and JNDI mapping must be defined in a file called ibm-web-bnd.xmi. The content of this file will look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<webappbnd:WebAppBinding xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" xmlns:webappbnd="webappbnd.xmi" xmi:id="WebAppBinding_1" virtualHostName="default_host">
<webapp href="WEB-INF/web.xml#WebApp"/>
<resRefBindings xmi:id="ResourceRefBinding_1103225373500" jndiName="jdbc/mydb">
<bindingResourceRef href="WEB-INF/web.xml#ResourceRef_1103225373500"/>
</resRefBindings>
</webappbnd:WebAppBinding>
Obviously using WSAD all of that could be done using IDE. In your case and using Sun IDE, I am not sure. But this is basically the concept of needed mapping in order to reference your JNDI without getting an error. At least this is how we resolved the error you are encountering.
Hope that helps!

CR4E - New JDBC (JNDI) connection at runtime

Is it possible to create a new JDBC (JNDI) connection at runtime using the propertyBag to set the attributes? I tried this but received error message stating "error finding jndi name".

Are you specifying a JDBC or JNDI connection?
If JDBC, did you set the (Optional) JNDI Connection property?
If you set the JNDI property for the JDBC connection, it'll try connecting to the JNDI.
The JDBC has the optional JNDI property, so that you can design a report against JDBC, then use the JNDI when deployed to a J2EE.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

How to map ECC Infoset Query to Crystal Report

I am using 25 standard SAP crystal reports which have been mapped on the top of ECC system. Some of reports are working well but some are not working due to unable to find query. The name of the report is Controlling Dashboard report and it has CO_OM_CA_20_Q1 query which I was unable to map on ECC using Crystal Report. I do not knw how to map ECC table infoset to Crystal report.
Can anybody assist me to get solution?

Hi Efstratios,
Hope you are well!
I am experiencing the same issue:
unable to get this infoset query CO_OM_CA_20_Q1 in Crystal Report which is made on the top of ECC
I followed the BI quick guide as well, I am on EPH 4 and I am able to see both the Query Infoset CO_OM_CA_20_Q1 and its related Infoset /SREP/CO_OM_CCA_20.
But unfortunately, it wouldn't let me update the connection approprietaly.
Is this something you can assist me with?
