Moving Connection String to ConnectionInfo

We have an old VB6 app that uses a Connection String to connect to the database. It is in the form
"DRIVER=InterSystems ODBC;SERVER=localhost;PORT=56773;DATABASE=WSNETNEW;UID=CRUSER;PWD=CRPWD"
We just got Crystal Reports 2008 and are moving this app to .net. How do I set it up using the ConnectionInfo? So far I have:
            ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
            connectionInfo.ServerName = "localhost";
            connectionInfo.DatabaseName = "WSNETNEW";
            connectionInfo.UserID = "CRUSER";
            connectionInfo.Password = "CRPWD";
Where do I put my DRIVER and PORT information - in connectionInfo.Attributes or connectionInfo.LogonProperties?
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
I dont think so we can give port number and driver name with connection info.
Have a look to [Sample code|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/businessobjects-samples] and [DevLibrary|http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/devsuite.htm]

CR for VS, MSSQL, ConnectionInfo and "Application Name" in connection string

I'm using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2013, latest version. I'm using the web CrystalReportViewer component. I'm setting the connection information, something like this:
var tables = rpt.Database.Tables;
foreach (Table table in tables)
    var tableLogonInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
    tableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
    table.ApplyLogOnInfo(tableLogonInfo);
When the connection to the database is opened, the "Application Name" (which you can see with sp_who2 in MS SQL Server) is "Internet Information Services". I'd like it to be something else, like the name of my website or something similar. If I could specify the exact connection string, I could do this by including "Application Name=MyWebSite" in the connection string, but of course that isn't possible (right?).
Does anyone know of a way to set the CrystalReportViewer's connection's Application Name?
Thanks.
Dan

The name of the physical executable that created the connection is (generally) automatically used to populate the PROGRAM column of the V$SESSION table.
If you want a more human-readable application name or if you have multiple applications in the same application server, you can use the DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO package to set the CLIENT_INFO, MODULE, and ACTION columns of V$SESSION for this particular session once you've created your connection.

Changing Connection String dynamically at runtime

I am using the Crystal Report Viewer control in in a Visuall Studio 2008 C# project. The reports are created inside of Visual Studio 2008, and will be running against an InterSystems Cache database. I have to use an ODBC (RDO) connection and use a connection string.
I have seen many examples of how to update the connection string at runtime if it is SQL server (or some flavor thereof), but nothing for an ODBC (RDO) connection to a NON-MSSQL database.
The problem when I update the connection string for each of the tables in the report, the report will either not run and display a window -- tiled 'Datbase Login' -- that has the Server, Database, Username, and Password fields on the window, OR, it will run but not against the database that was specified at runtime (it uses the connection stored in the report).
Code Sample #1 (This is using the connection string, and will cause a the "Database Login" window to be displayed - the first scenario from above)
rd = new ReportDocument();
// Load the report
rd.Load(fileName, OpenReportMethod.OpenReportByDefault);
rd.Refresh();
// Create the connection object
ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = CreateConnection(Server, Port, ServerNamespace, Username, Password);
// Set the connection info on each table in the report
SetDBLogonForReport(connectionInfo, rd);
SetDBLogonForSubreports(connectionInfo, rd);

I have also tried setting connectionInfo.ServerName equal to just the real server name, but that didn't work either.
After the above operations are performed, I simply assign the returned ReportDocument object to the Crystal Viewer control. If I don't call the above functions, and just set the ReportDocument source (using whatever connection string was embedded in the report originally), the report runs as expected. Only when I attempt to update the connection string, the report will not execute. Please advise. Thanks!

Linq2sql Connection string for crystal report. Report requires logon

If I take out the connection string info the report runs fine from my machine but any other user it asks for logon information so I am trying to add the connection info. The line that is not compiling is `cr1.SetDatabaseLogon(connection, cr1);`
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated!

I also tried changing the code after my query to below but I still have the exact same problem as before when I didnt have the connection string credentials. On every user but myself I get the same sql server login screen and no matter what I enter it fails. I think it is due to there being no database name which it will not allow me to manually enter.
     CrystalReport1 cr1 = new CrystalReport1();
                cr1.FileName = @"C:\Intranet\CrystalReport1.rpt";

                connectionInfo.UserID = "sa";
                connectionInfo.Password = "*****";
                SetDBLogonForReport(connectionInfo, cr1);
                cr1.SetDataSource(query);
                crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = cr1;
    private void SetDBLogonForReport(ConnectionInfo connectionInfo, CrystalReport reportDocument)
            Tables tables = reportDocument.Database.Tables;
            foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table table in tables)
                TableLogOnInfo tableLogonInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
                tableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
                table.ApplyLogOnInfo(tableLogonInfo);

The code I use is as follows:
Dim crDatabase As Database
Dim crTables As Tables
Dim crTable As Table
Dim crTableLogOnInfo As TableLogOnInfo
Dim crConnectionInfo As ConnectionInfo
Dim crReportDocument As ReportDocument
CrConnectionInfo = New ConnectionInfo
With crConnectionInfo
.ServerName = "dbconn1"
.DatabaseName = "Pubs"
.UserID = "vantech"
.Password = "vantech"
crDatabase = crReportDocument.Database
crTables = crDatabase.Tables
End With
crDatabase = crReportDocument.Database
crTables = crDatabase.Tables
For Each crTable In crTables
crTableLogOnInfo = crTable.LogOnInfo
crTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo
crTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTableLogOnInfo)
Next
This assumes that there are no subreports (or at least that if there are subreports, they use identical db connection info).
My recommendation would be to test the above code with a simple test report (one table, one field). If you have subreports, you may need to set the logon for those also - depends on how the subreports are implemented. Subreport logon code would be something like this:
Dim crSubreportDocument As ReportDocument
crSubreportDocument = crReportDocument.OpenSubreport("Ron")
crConnectionInfo = New ConnectionInfo
With crConnectionInfo
.ServerName = "Rcon1"
.DatabaseName = "Northwind"
.UserID = "vantech"
.Password = "vantech"
End With
crDatabase = crSubreportDocument.Database
crTables = crDatabase.Tables
For Each crTable In crTables
crTableLogOnInfo = crTable.LogOnInfo
crTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo
crTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTableLogOnInfo)
Next
Alternatively, you could download the db logon writing utility that is attached to this KB and implement that.

Managing connection strings Azure Cloud service deployment

I have an azure cloud service project which comprises of one worker role and one web role. I need to have both staging and live deployments but I need them to have different connection strings because the worker role generates lots of data which is reported
by the web application and I would not want to have test data in production.
What's the best way to configure this so that I can quickly swap or promote from staging to live and have the connection strings just update without having to republish from visual studio using a different configuration.

Hi,
Two ways to do it -
1. Keep your connection strings in cscfg so that you can change those on the fly after the deployment using azure management portal.
2. Keep connection string in the web configuration file at the time of deployment and have cscfg settings which can override those i.e. re-write those in the web configuration file when role instances are restarted.
I too experienced something similar to this but not for connection strings, it was for ACS i.e. authentication settings which I needed to have differently on both deployment slots, refer my blog post http://passionatetechie.blogspot.in/2014/02/moving-acs-settings-in-cloud.html you
can do similar for connection strings of your application.

Setting up connection using a single connection string.

Post Author: DubbleOh7
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I know about the ConnectionInfo object in for .NET crystal reports, but for security purposes we don't have access to a password of any kind, nor do we pass them around our web pages, they are used for login access only. So how can I just set a connection string for the report to access a SQL Server database? I prefer NOT to do the Dataset work around. Its a busy server and the report could contain up to 20,000 records with lots of fields. Not efficient. I also know I could make an object fill it with data from a data reader, but not sure thats as efficient as just having the report execute the stored procedure I have. I also don't want the report to pop up that login page automatically for the users since they have already logged into the website. I'm looking forward to any ideas or suggestions. Thanks in advance for any info or suggestions you may have!
Summary:
I don't want to use datasets due to inefficiency and overhead of several thousand records.
I just want to be able to use a connection string using windows authentication enabled for the report connection to a SQL Server database.
This is for SQL 2K5..calling a stored procedure
Crystal reports for ASP.NET (VB language solutions preferred)
Basically I'd like to use a trusted connection and
ReportConnection.ServerName = "SERVER"
ReportConnection.DatabaseName = "DATABASE"
ReportConnection.IntegratedSecurity = True
doesn't get me there.

Since posting, I have moved to 1.5 but still have problems. Also, I am using Linux not Windows. For testing purposes I set up an external tool called "echo" with the following configuration:
Program executable: /bin/echo
Arguments: TERM:${env:var=TERM} sqldev.conn:${sqldev.conn} sqldev.dbuser:${sqldev.dbuser}
Run Directory: /bin
I have added the tool to "Tools Menu", "Navigator Context Menu" and "Code Editor Context Menu"
Enabled is set to "Always"
If I highlight the a connection and then right click, and select "echo" the following is displayed in the log:
/bin>
/bin/echo TERM: sqldev.conn: sqldev.dbuser:
TERM: sqldev.conn: sqldev.dbuser:
In order to get any of the values populated I have to expand not only the connection so that all the items (Tables, Views, Indexes, etc) are displayed but also one of these sub items as well. If I expand tables and then right click on any given table I will finally get some output from my echo command:
/bin>
/bin/echo TERM: sqldev.conn:jdbc:oracle:thin:@db.server.domain:1526:prod sqldev.dbuser:
TERM: sqldev.conn:jdbc:oracle:thin:@db.server.doamin:1526:prod sqldev.dbuser:
It seems to me that if I want to run SQL*PLus I should just highlight the connection name and it should use that information in whatever external tool I have configured.

In windows 7 environment Data Base connectivity and data fetching also wroking fine.
My problem is while running reports it display error as "Query engine : Can not find DSN in Connection String"

How to specifiy the provider to be Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client when creating a dynamic connection string with EF Code First from Database?

I am trying to use the relatively new Code First from Database with the newest EF (6.x) and on an Oracle database (11g, but I have installed the newest ODTwithODAC). First of all, it works fine as long as the connection string is inside the App.Config file. But when I try to build it dynamically in the C# code (or rather, statically at the moment) it fails. I have it working with a dynamically built connection string when doing Model from Database though, so I'm at a loss right now.
First, I have created a second constructor for the context class that takes a string and does base(connectionString). Then I build the connection string via
OracleConnectionStringBuilder oracleBuilder = new OracleConnectionStringBuilder();
oracleBuilder.DataSource = "TEST.BLA.COM";
oracleBuilder.UserID = "ABC";
oracleBuilder.Password = "abc";
oracleBuilder.PersistSecurityInfo = true;
string connection = oracleBuilder.ToStrin();
Now trying to open an EntityConnection by giving to it this provider-specific connection string (or even the static one from the App.Config) doesn't work; I get "keyword not supported: user id"). Trying it by creating a context and giving this connection string doesn't work either. I'm pretty sure that this is because I didn't specify the provider to use; after all, it should use the Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client provider and not an SQL Server based one.
I then tried to get around this by using an EntityConnectionStringBuilder on top and specifying the provider keyword there, but then I get "keyword not supported: provider" when using it in the context constructor, and "the 'metadata' keyword is always required" when using it with the EntityConnection constructor.
As I said above: I bet it's the provider that I have to specify somehow, but I don't know how. The code that does work is the following:
using (var context = new Model())
context.Database.Connection.Open();
context.Database.Connection.Close();
When I read context.Database.Connection.ConnectionString, it is exactly the provider-specific connection string I created above, but I don't know where to specify the provider again. Do you know of any way to do this? Certainly there must be one.
PS: I have also posted this question on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27979454/ef-code-first-from-database-with-managed-oracle-data-access-dynamic-connection because it is quite urgent and I'd like to use Code First from Database. Otherwise I'd have to go "back" to using Model from Database again, which is not ideal because we have updatable views where the .edmx-file has to be edited after every reload of the model, while with Code First from DB inserting into the view automatically works.

How to dynamically set connection string for report in C# code?

Hi,
I have installed CRVS2010. I have created new Crystal Report WPF Application and new report. I would like to set connection string for report in code dynamically.
Is this possible?
Thanks
Ivana

Lots of posts in this forum on how to set database connections. WPF should not be a consideration as it's just a viewer. The report engine is still the same. Search these forums. Use the search box at the top right corner of this page. Look at samples here:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsfor.NETSDK+Samples
Note that none of the samples above are using WPF, but like I said, the WPF is just a different viewer and will not impact how the report engine logs on to a database. (I think of it as a gray car vs. a red car. Same engine, just the color is different)

Because in the development, all goes well, no error on the oracle connection.
OR did I miss out anything that causes it not working on my server deployment?yes
yes
yes
how can we reproduce what you claim?

I run Dev 6i on Windows 2008 R2 64-bit,the forms are working fine after connection to the database but the reports continue to request for username, password and database connection string every time i try to open a report.

I receive REP-0501: Unable to connect to specified database. I run developer 6i application on windows 2008 r2. I have applied the nn60.dll and nnb60.dll files to the \BIN directory. The forms are working fine. The reports will only display after the correct user id (username, password and database connection string) is supplied. This is happening to all attempts to open already complied form. Pls, help.

If you are connecting to an Oracle 11g database, remember that by default the passwords are case sensitive. To disable that, run
ALTER SYSTEM SET SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON = FALSE;

I would like to use connection string to query the database and write results to EXCEL, i.e.
$SQL_Statement = "SELECT ..."
$conn = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
$conn.ConnectionString = "Server=10.10.10.10;Initial Catalog=mydatabase;User Id=$username;Password=$password;"
$conn.Open()
$cmd = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand($SQL_Statement,$conn)
do{
try{
$rdr = $cmd.ExecuteReader()
while ($rdr.read()){
$sql_output += ,@($rdr.GetValue(0), $rdr.GetValue(1))
$transactionComplete = $true
catch{
$transactionComplete = $false
}until ($transactionComplete)
$conn.Close()
How would I read the columns and data for $sql_output into an EXCEL worksheet. Where do I find these tutorials?

Hi Q.P.Waverly,
If you mean to export the data in $sql_output to excel document, please try to format the output with psobject:
$sql_output=@()
do{
try{
$rdr = $cmd.ExecuteReader()
while ($rdr.read()){
$sql_output+=New-Object PSObject -Property @{data1 = $rdr.GetValue(0);data2 =$rdr.GetValue(1)}
$transactionComplete = $true
catch{
$transactionComplete = $false
}until ($transactionComplete)
$conn.Close()
Then please try to use the cmdlet "Export-Csv" to export the data to excel like:
$sql_output | Export-Csv d:\data.csv
Or you can export to worksheet like:
$excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
$excel.Visible = $true
$workbook = $excel.Workbooks.Add()
$sheet = $workbook.ActiveSheet
$counter = 0
$sql_output | ForEach-Object {
$counter++
$sheet.cells.Item($counter,1) = $_.data1$sheet.cells.Item($counter,2) = $_.data2}
Refer to:
PowerShell and Excel: Fast, Safe, and Reliable
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

How do I create a connection string to sql server?

Hi All,
I am currently connecting to a SQL Server via ODBC DSN connection. I am wondering how do I create a connection string directly to a sql server without a DSN connection?
Thank you in advance.

If you have SQL Server or client installed in your machine you can directly connect to SQL server using native connection. When you create new report you can see the option create new connection, here you can see SQL Server. Expand it and enter the connection details where you will be directly connected to SQL Server without ODBC connection.

Raghavendra
