Logon failed error : connection is OK in Designer but error in CR and CMC

Hi,
BOXI 3.1 SP3 installed
Crystal Report 2008 SP3 installed.
Windows 2003 R2 SP2 64 bits
The data source location is SQL Server 2005 SP3/Windows 2003 R2 SP2 64 bits
I defined a connection (OLEDB secured) and a universe which uses this connection. I export the universe to make it available.
In Designer, everything works fine: i can access the data.
In CR 2008, when i create the connection within Database expoert, i access the universe, select the fields but there is an error message 'logon failed" when i validate the choice.
I have also made a test with an ODBC driver with no success.
I have checked ODBC and MDAC version.
Important to note: from CR, i can define datasource with ODBC/OLEDB driver directly from the SQL Server.
The rror message occurs when i access the universe to access the DB.
I have also made a test by applying CR 2008 SP4 but with no success.
Please someone help me ? give me some suggestions ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Marc

Thanks to CA Technologies Suppport !
The password was containing a '='.
I have removed it from the password and now it works fine.

Crystal report logon Failed Error

Dear All
We have installed BOBJ Edge 3.1 Server at Windows Server.
We insalled Crystal Report 2008 at one of our Laptop. (Client).
When we tried to create a sample report,
we selected a existing universe from the BOBJ Server. When we selected it ask me for the server connection details. It connected and showed me the existing unverses.
I selected say eFashion - and picked some fields and Click OK.
Then it givs logon failed error.
Can some one explian me where i am missing
REgards,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
If the Universe is based off an ODBC connection, then the same ODBC connection (with the same name) needs to be present on the client machine too.
So, like Don suggested, the client machine would need the same DB client too.
Open the Universe in the Universe Designer. Go to File > Parameters > Edit. This is where you see all the connection information of the Universe.

KBase ID 344488: Logon failed when connecting to universe in Crystal Report

My question is related to [KBase Article ID:344488|http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/KanisaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=344488&sliceId=&dialogID=24618166&stateId=1%200%2024614949]
Article refers to: Crystal Reports XI
Symptom
When attempting to create a connection to a universe in Crystal Reports, after clicking OK in the Database Expert Query Panel, the following error message appears: "Logon failed".
The query is not generated. In the Universe folder of Database Expert, the following message appears: "u2026no items found".
I'm running BOE XI and Crystal Report XI R2 with MS SQL Server 2005 using ODBC.
The resolution psoted in the KBase Article ID:344488 does not resolve the issue in my case. Does anyone have any ideas on what to look at next?

Hello Donald,
I'll describe the process flow when Crystal Report reports off of a Universe, in hopes the info will help narrow down your issue.
When you create a Crystal Report and open an Universe, it connects to the Enterprise system and uses a Report Server on Enterprise to generate the SQL Statement. After you create the Query in the Query Panel, and add the Query to the report, the SQL Statement is sent to the Crystal Report Designer.
The Crystal Report Designer makes a local connection to the database and sends the SQL Statement to retrieve data.
You're using ODBC connectivity. If the defined ODBC isn't identical between the server where the Report Server is running, and the client where the Crystal Report Designer is running, then you'd get the Logon failed error.
Other than checking the drivers, I'd recommend that the ODBC connection on both server and client point to the same database, and allow use of the same database logon credentials.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Database logon failed error on IIS7

I am getting a Database logon failed error on a report that is being called in ASP.NET form on IIS7. This error does not happen in my development environment but only on the webserver in IIS7. I can open the report and run it in Crystal Reports designer without any problem. Any help on this will be appreciated. The error message I get is below.

In addition to the information that Bhushan requested;
What database?
How are you connecting to it (ODBC, OLE DB, etc.)?
I'd also highly recommend having a read of the following:

Logon fail error

I created a Windows appliction using CR 2008 basic (VS2008). It connects to an SQL server 2008 computer using SQL server authentication. The application works fine in Vista and Windows Server 2008; it connects to the SQL server, generates the report and shows it fine. All this without asking me about username and password to logon to the database (as i provide the username and password in the code). However, when i use the application in Windows Server 2003 or Win XP, it gives a logon failed error and shows a prompt for entering username and passord to logon to the database. Even when i enter the correct password, it keeps giving logon error. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

More than likely, this is a database client issue - either not installed, not installed correctly, or incorrect version. E.g.; it is not a code issue. Couple of ways of troubleshooting this:
1) Download the Modules utility and compare the dlls loading on a working and non working machines. Modules is [here|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip]
2) Download an eval of CR 2008, install it on one of the non working computers and try to run the report fromthe designer. Eval of CR 2008 can be downloaded from [here|http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx]

Logon Failed Error in Crystal Reports

Hiii Experts,
                We are facing one error while working on crystal reports 2008 and SAP Version 8.8-PL18 and SAP 8.81-PL 9
"Logon Failed" Error comes even when we add all connection details correctly in connection details window, sometimes it comes some time not.
          We face this error when,
1) When verifying the database in Crystal reports.
2)When we are saving any particular report in sap B1.
3)It comes when we try to set the database Location in Crystal Reports.
4)Also,when we are trying to view preview of report.
                This problem is too much time consuming and irregular. We are not able to find exact cause. Please, help us.
Edited by: suhas.patil on Jan 24, 2012 3:54 PM

Hi Suhas,
when making a test, its always a good practice to test in the same PL, or in a Higher PL.
anyways, you need to update your Datasource, from your CR IDE goto Database -->> Set Datasource Location. then use either of the 2
1. OLE DB (ADO) - Driver (SQL Server Native Client 10.0)
2. SAP Business One
and update your datasource accordingly.

DAO Logon failed error

In one of our clientu2019s machine they are getting a logon failed error u201CCannot open a database created with a previous version of your application.u201D Our report is connecting to multiple tables created in Access 97 password protected database using DAO native connection. In one of the reports that uses single table if I will create a recordset and pass it as the datasource it works fine. I cannot apply this to the other reports since it is using several tables and subreports with a link to the main table. I added a code to test the connectivity on each table after I set the location and password and it fails. Can you please help me figure out why the report cannot connect to each table and what causing this logon failed error?

Ok so to clarify how was that report originally created, off the tables or off the dataset?
Because using one or the other requires code to update the report itself if changing. Setting the report to a dataset doesn't require logon info. And at the same time setting a report based on a DS to a DB does require logging on.
Next, can anyone, even the DBA who has full access, run that report? CR fully supports DB security, so if the user does not have access to the tables in the report then you will get an error.

Logon failed error when launching Web Intelligence from InfoView

After changing the Web Intelligence preferences in BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.0 Java InfoView to launch the desktop or rich client option, I get a "logon failed" error message. However, when I launch Web Intelligence Rich Client from 'Start > Programs >...' directly, the same logon information is successful. The logon is set to use Enterprise authentication which is the same logon information used to launch InfoView and Web Intelligence.
Why does the logon fail when I launch Web Intelligence from InfoView?
Edited by: Ana on Mar 31, 2009 3:43 PM

I deleted the report completely and rebuilt it from scratch, and also added names for the data table and data set generated within the project and finally, success!
Jason, thanks so much for your help which got me moving on this again.

CRVS2010 Beta 2 - "Database Logon failed" Error, after Upgrade

Hi,
Generally: we are using the Crystal Reports in combination with a DataSet, that is filled during runtime and pushed to the report, using "SetDataSource". The Project is an ASP .NET 3.5 Project, published on our server.
I upgraded my development-machine to CRVS2010 (installed both packages - the CRVS for VS 2010 and the runtime) last week and changed some fields in the Report. The DataSet was left unchanged. Everything is working well on my development-machine, but when I publish the Project to our server, I get an "Databse Logon failed" Error, when I want to create my Report. The CRVS2010 Beta 2 redist Runtime is installed on our server. Here is the code, we use:
// create new Report
var report = new Reports.repMyReport();
// DataSource ds was filled correctly (we checked with export to XML
report.SetDataSource(ds);
// Set several Parameters to Report
report.SetParameterValue("test", "test");
// Export Report to PDF-Format and open in Browser
report.ExportToHttpResponse(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, Response, false, "reportName.pdf");
Response.End();
The error I get is:
Database logon failed.

I already tried everything, found googling the web and/or searching this forum:
e.g.: perform "verify Database" on all Reports and map the DataSet.xsd again to the Report
Is that a known issue on the Beta and we should wait for the RC, or does anyone have an idea how to fix that one?
This error is really annoying!
Many thanks for your help.
kind regards
Reinhard

Dear Ludek,
Many thanks for your quick reply. Currently, I have to finish some other things. I will try your ideas next week and give you some feedback then, to keep you informed.

Logon Failed Error Thrown by Simple Web Report

I am getting the logon failed error when I try to access the web service hosting my report. The report displays information from a typed dataset that loads the XML from the local directory. The report runs fine from a windows console application where I must instantiate a dataset, read the XML, and bind to the report. The typed dataset is in the web service project and the XML file is in the base virtual directory and bin directories.To create the web service, I followed an example from a .NET Programming book, but it did not include all of the steps above. Where do I tell the web service to instantiate the dataset and load the data?Thanks. Greg 

Are you publishing a Crystal Report as a Web Service, i.e., a Web Service view of a Crystal Report, or creating a Web Service that exports a Crystal Report, i.e., export a RPT or PDF of a Crystal Report?
I'm inferring that you have a ADO.NET class that consumes XML, then Crystal reports off that ADO.NET.
I'm also assuming you're not using BusinessObjects Enterprise Web Services.
I'd like to get further info as to where things are breaking down.
Sincerely,

Failed to connect to the server, specify a valid server name and ID and pw

I am trying to install business one on a clients application server, where their sql server software is installed on a different server. When I get to the point of the installation where it asks for connection information: sql type, sql server name, logon and password, it fails after entering the correct info. I have double checked this info, typed it repeatedly and correctly and I continue to receive the following error: Failed to connect to the server, specify a valid server name and ID and password and try again. Can anyone lead me in the right direction to determine what my issue is? I can connect to sql server with the sa logon, on the sql server and I can access/ping the sql server from the application server, I just can't connect to sql server through the installation. I checked the sql server settings that I know of, so I don't know if it is an issue there or if it is a port issue or what.
Thanks for any help.

Following is whjat the customers IT team reported they did to get the install running:
RIGHT! Worked it out! It wasn't firewall in the end at all, it was that the SAP B1 installation isn't aware of SQL Server 2008 R2 (version 10.50.x.x).
The vbscript was looking for the presence of SQL Server 2008 (version 10.0.x.x) in the registry and not by scanning ports or suchlike.
If you use the autorun installation from this folder; E:\BusinessEvolution\Software\SAP_Extract_via_WINZIP it should work fine - I've modified the checksql.htm to look for SQL 2008 R2 and now autorun goes past that first problem.
Not sure if that will be any help to you? In that instance I think we were installing 8.8 PL17...
The upgrade frpm there to 8.81 PL07 worked fine

Getting Logon Failed error connecting to SAP R/3 with Crystal

I have Crystal Reports 2008 and also the SAP Integration Kit installed on my desktop. I've imported the transports into my DEV and QAS systems and am trying to connect directly to R/3 from Crystal using the SAP Table, Cluster or Function choice.
I receive the error:
Logon failed. Details: You do not have the necessary rights to design reports against the SAP system. Please check with your system administrator.
I'm using a logon that has full rights within SAP. It recognizes my password because when I try a password that I know is wrong I get a different error message: Logon failed. Detail: Name or password is incorrect. I receive the same error in PRD even though I have not imported the transports into that client.
I have Crystal Server but am not trying to use that at the moment. Just Crystal Reports as a standalone product. If I've left something out please let me know.
Thank you,
Kevin Scheeler

Hi Kevin,
take a look at the Installation Guide for the SAP Integration Kit which includes a detailed list of authorizations per use case in the appendix
