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.

XmlDataProvider .... is gone completely in my Xaml file. Why? How many different ways to deal with xml data source through WPF

I followed a procedure described in a book.
1. insert "Inventory.xml" file to a project "WpfXmlDataBinding" .
2. add the XML data source through the data panel of "blend for 2013", named it "InventoryXmlDataStore" and store it in the current document.
3. dragged and droppped the nodes from the Data panel onto the artboard.
Then I checked my Xaml file against the one provided by the book
Xaml file by the book:
<Window.Resources>
<XmlDataProvider x:Key="InventoryDataSource"
Source="\Inventory.xml"
d:IsDataSource="True"/>

<DataTemplate x:Key="ProductTemplate">
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=@ProductID}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=Cost}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=Description}"/>
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding XPath=HotItem}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=Name}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<ListBox HorizontalAlignment="Left"
ItemTemplate="{DynamicResource ProductTemplate}"
ItemsSource="{Binding XPath=/Inventory/Product}"
Margin="89,65,0,77" Width="200"/>
</Grid>
my Xaml file:
<Window x:Class="WpfXmlDataBinding.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

All looks quite the same except the <XmlDataProvider ....> part under <Window.Resources>, which is gone completely in my Xaml file.

Never do yourself down Richard.
Leave that to other people.
It's quite common for smart developers to think they're not as good as they are.
I coach a fair bit and it's a surprisingly common feeling.
And to repeat.
Never use anything ends .. provider. They're for trivial demo apps. Transform xml into objects and use them. Write it back as xml. Preferably, use a database.
You want to read a little mvvm theory first.

Whatever you do, don't read Josh Smiths explanation. I used to recommend it but it confuses the heck out newbies. Leave that until later.
Laurent Bugnion did a great presentation at mix10. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be working on the MS site, but I have a copy. Download and watch:

I have a sample which involves no real data but is intended to illustrate some aspects of how viewmodels "do stuff" and how you use datatemplates to generate UI.

How to do sorting/filtering on custom java data source implementation

Hi,
I have an entity driven view object whose data should be retrieved and populated using custom java data source implementation. I've done the same as said in document. I understand that Query mode should be the default one (i.e. database tables) and createRowFromResultSet will be called as many times as it needs based on the no. of data retrieved from service, provided we should write the logic for hasNextForCollection(). Implementation sample code is given below.
protected void executeQueryForCollection(Object qc, Object[] params, int noUserParams) {
Iterator datumItr = retrieveDataFromService(qc, params);
setUserDataForCollection(qc, datumItr);
hasNextForCollection(qc);
super.executeQueryForCollection(qc, params, noUserParams);
protected boolean hasNextForCollection(Object qc) {
Iterator datumItr = (Iterator) getUserDataForCollection(qc);
if (datumItr != null && datumItr.hasNext()){
return true;
setCallService(false);
setFetchCompleteForCollection(qc, true);
return false;
protected ViewRowImpl createRowFromResultSet(Object qc, ResultSet resultSet) {
Iterator datumItr = (Iterator) getUserDataForCollection(qc);
Object datumObj = datumItr.next();
ViewRowImpl r = createNewRowForCollection(qc);
return r;
Everything is working fine include table sorting/filtering. Then i noticed that everytime when user perform sorting/filtering, executeQueryForCollection is called, which in turn calls my service. It is a performance issue. I want to avoid. So i did some modification in the implementation in such a way that, service call will happen only if the callService flag is set to true, followed by executeQuery(). Code is given below.
private boolean callService = false;
public void setCallService(boolean callService){
this.callService = callService;
public boolean isCallService(){
return callService;
protected void executeQueryForCollection(Object qc, Object[] params, int noUserParams){
if (callService)
Iterator datumItr = retrieveDataFromService(qc, params);
setUserDataForCollection(qc, datumItr);
hasNextForCollection(qc);
super.executeQueryForCollection(qc, params, noUserParams);
Issue i have:
When user attempts to use table sort/filter, since i skipped the service call and set null as userDataCollection, createRowFromResultSet is not called and data which i retrieved and populated to view object is totally got vanished!!. I've already retrived data and created row from result set. Why it should get vanished? Don't know why.
Tried solution:
I came to know that query mode should be set to Scan_Entity_Cache for filtering and Scan_View_Rows for sorting. I din't disturb the implementation (i.e. skipping service call) but overrided the executeQuery and did like the following code.
@Override
public void executeQuery(){
setQueryMode(callService ? ViewObject.QUERY_MODE_SCAN_DATABASE_TABLES : ViewObject.QUERY_MODE_SCAN_ENTITY_ROWS);
super.executeQuery();
By doing this, i could able to do table filtering but when i try to use table sorting or programmatic sorting, sorting is not at all applied.
I changed the code like beolw*
@Override
public void executeQuery(){
setQueryMode(callService ? ViewObject.QUERY_MODE_SCAN_DATABASE_TABLES : ViewObject.QUERY_MODE_SCAN_VIEW_ROWS);
super.executeQuery();
Now sorting is working fine but filtering is not working in an expected way because Scan_View_rows will do further filtering of view rows.
Question:
I don't know how to achieve both filtering and sorting as well as skipping of service call too.
Can anyone help on this?? Thanks in advance.

How do I reference multiple tables in SSAS Data Source View Named Calculation functionality?

Hi SSASers -
On the Data Source View node of SSAS Visual Studio Interface, I want to create a named calculation that references multiple tables. Something like: CASE WHEN tableA.Column1 = 'Y' Then tableB.Column1 ELSE tableB.Column2 End, but the compiler throws an error
here "Deferred prepare could not be completed".
What is the syntax for referencing multiple tables on this node or how else can multiple tables be used to create a calculated value in SSAS? I'm new to SSAS and so far have been building big views and building calculations this way. Another option is the
Calculation tab off the cube node but this calculation will need to be based off of dimensions AND measures so please provide a syntax example here also.
Thanks in advance!
Carl

Thanks Jiri! The named query functionality off the Data Source View node is exactly what I was looking for - it's just a view on the SSAS side of things instead of the relational dbase.
Sorry for the delayed answer verification - got pulled into something else last week. Carl

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.

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

How to Write Log Message in a XML Data Source Report

Hi Friends,
Can anyone help me out what is the process of writing a log file in the XML Data Source Report. for eg: in Plsql we use FND_LOG.PUT_LINE to print the Log message in the Concurrent Request Output. in the similar manner, when we develop a report using XML, where we write Coding in XQuery of XML, what is the process need to follow to print the logs for the XQuery.
Any inputs/Suggestion on this Highly appreciable.
Thanks in advance.

Create an RMI application (for example) that writes the log, and let all logging calls call that remote application.
Something like that is the only feasible way that doesn't require you to have a drive on the remote machine mapped to the local one (which causes its own problems as you could have multiple simultaneous write attempts...).

Error when creating a new Data Source

All, This is on BI Publisher 11g.
When I create a new data source and supply password and then click "Apply" button on top right corner, i get following error
Error 500--Internal Server Error
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.5.1 500 Internal Server Error
The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
what am i doing wrong?
Thank you for reading this post.
Thanks,
R

The schema/user is system and the password is alpha-numeric, upper/lower case, no special char ...
As a workaround I was able to add the password to the entry in the datasources.xml file and restarted BI Pub.
The JDBC is working ... I can test the connection successfully ... just wont save the entry

Logon failed when connecting to XML data source over HTTP

I am trying to create a report using the standard report creation wizard:
1) new, standard report
2) create new connection
3) xml and web services
4) xml data source
When using the sample from the SAP site, it works fine:
http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/downloads/samples/cr/customer_db/customer.xml
I have an HTTP source that generates XML. I have a schema that describes this XML. If I save the XML to a local file it works fine as a data source with the schema. However, when I try to access the same data via HTTP, I get the following error:
Logon failed.
Details: Cannot open file
Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: http://localhost:8004/report.xqy?Validate%20XML=0&Use%20WS-Security%20Config%20File=&WS-Security%20File%20Location
However, if I enter that URL in a browser it works fine. And even if I disable security on the HTTP source, it produces the same error.
Does the URL for the HTTP data source have to conform to some specific pattern? For example, must the URL end in .xml?

How to check which Table & Field is populating Data source

Hi,
My requirment is to check from which Table and Which field the data is extracted in the data source
Data Source : 0MAT_PLANT_ATTR
Field in Data Source : MINBE
Now i want to check from where (Table/Field) in R/3 is populating the Field MINBE in Data source 0MAT_PLANT_ATTR
How can i do that

Hi,
Since you have the extract structure and the extractor, you can try Extractor Checker RSA3.Execute ST05 (activating SQL Trace), switch on the trace and execute the extractor checker. Once the extractor checker presents the results
switch off trace. The clcik on Display trace and you will see all the tables that were hit by the extractor checker to retrieve data and present it to you.
Note: Set the break point in the Extractor Function module.
View the ST05 Extended Trace list. The Object name shows the Tables accessed.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Short Dump Error when we check the Data Source in RSA3

Hi. Experts.
                   We are using Data Source 2Lis_13_VDITM and when we try to check in RSA3
for recorts it is going short dump. I am just providing the error information.
              An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_ERROR', was
not caught in procedure "MCEX_BW_LO_API" "(FUNCTION)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING
clause.
               Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
When importing the object "MC13VD0ITM_TAB", the component no. 96 in the dataset has a different type from the corresponding component of the target object in the program "SAPLMCEX".
                    The data type is "N" in the dataset, but "X" in the program.
        Since I don't have much knowledge in ABAP, Please help me out regarding this issue. Suggest me possible solution and let me know if you need any further information.

Hi,
Try adding a TRY CATCH block in the extractor function module to catch the exception.
For the type mismatch you will have to make sure the variables are of same type or they can be type converted.
Use the debug mode of RSA3 to find what data is being exchanged.
You will need to change your extractor to avoid the dump.. or ensure that the value being passed to that object is correctly being passed(correct format)
Cheers

"logon failed" error when connecting to XML data source

I have an HTTP source that generates XML. I have a schema that describes this XML. If I save the XML to a local file it works fine as a data source with the schema. However, when I try to access the same data via HTTP, I get the following error:
Logon failed.
Details: Cannot open file
Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: http://localhost:8004/report.xqy?Validate%20XML=0&Use%20WS-Security%20Config%20File=&WS-Security%20File%20Location
However, if I enter that URL in a browser it works fine. And even if I disable security on the HTTP source, it produces the same error.
I have tried a local HTTP source as well as the same source running on Amazon EC2.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the help.
I am new to crystal reports, so I do not understand your suggestion. Both of those points look like they are related to Adobe Flash.
I am trying to create a report using the standard report creation wizard:
1) new, standard report

3) xml and web services
4) xml data source
When using the sample from the SAP site, it works fine:
http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/downloads/samples/cr/customer_db/customer.xml
When connecting to my source from a browser, it works fine. When using my source as a local document instead of over http it works fine. It is only when connecting to my source over http that I get the failed logon error.
