ODBC Connectivity with Crystal Reports 2009 and MySQL

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me. We are currently running Crystal Reports CR Developer version 9.2.2.693 with an ODBC connection (ODBC 3.51 driver) to a My SQL database, version 4.0.18.*
We want to upgrade to Crystal Reports 2008, CR Developer version 12.0.0.683, however when I try to run reports to the current database, I get the following error:
*Database Connector Error: 2300:[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-4.0.18-nt]You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near .client where 0=1 at line 1 [Database Vendor Code: 1064] *
Has anyone encoutered this before? Do I need to get a different rev. ODBC driver? Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for your suggestion, but since the same query works when I use Crytal Reports 9 to the same MySQL database, I don't think that's the issue. I wonder if it has to do with the driver.

Why we need ABAP if we can connect With Crystal Reports to SAP R/3

Hi,
I am new to Crystal reports.I came to know that we can connect SAP R/3 by using SAP InfoSet,SAP Table Cluster and Function connectivity in Crystal Reports.So we can generate reports for SAP R/3 database with out need of ABAP.So why we need to go ABAP module.Is there any disadvantages if we dont use ABAP to generate reports or we can use always Crystal Reports to generate Reports for R/3 database?

Hi,
it is correct that you can built a Crystal Report without the need to use ABAP, but we have lots of customers that have invested over the years into ABAP Routines and Crystal REports is able to leverage those as well. So with Crystal Reports you have the choice to leverage existing ABAP Functions as a source for reporting - which might help to leverage complex processing on the backend - or to use InfoSets and tables.

CR was released well before .NET framework 3.5. Mo test would have been done. Only option is to not install 3.5 or upgrade to CR 2008 which supports 3.5 framework. Also will require you to update your app to ASP.NET.

PostgreSQL ODBC connection from Crystal reports, currency domain

Hello,
I'm attempting to get Crystal reports working with PostgreSQL with an
ODBC connection, via psqlODBC. I can successfully establish the
connection easily. However, I have a domain called "currency", that
handles currency values:
CREATE DOMAIN currency
AS numeric(10,2);
ALTER DOMAIN currency OWNER TO manager;
fields of currency appear as "strings" in Crystal reports, and they
lack fixed precision ( the value 1.00 appears as 1, for example). Why
might this be? How can I get it to appear as a numeric type, which I
can find the sum of, etc?
Thanks,
Sternocera

If the currency field is appearing as a string in the crystal then you can convert it to currency by creating a formula using the function CCur().
Try creating a formula like this
CCur({currency field})
Now you can calcualte the sum on this formula.

Raghavendra

Has any body work with Crystal Report XI and JDeveloper 10.1.3 ?

Hi All,
We want to use Crystal Report XI as our reporting tools and integrate it with our jsp/jspx application developed with JDeveloper 10.1.3.
Has any body succesfully done this kind of integration ?
Could you please share it with me ?
Thank you for your info,
xtanto

Hi friends,
I use Crystal Reoprt XI (release 1) with JDev 10.1.3, never try Crystal 10 with JDev.
Here is what I do :
1. Install CR XI on the same machine with JDev 10.1.3.
2. Modify CRConfig.XML on folder : C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\java on three places :
<JavaDir>D:\JDev1013\jdk\bin</JavaDir>
<Classpath>D:\JDev1013\jdbc\lib\ocrs12.jar;D:\JDev1013\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar;D:\JDev1013\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14dms.jar;D:\JDev1013\jdbc\lib\orai18n.jar; .... [original classpath]
<JDBCURL>jdbc:oracle:thin:@oracle.sas.co.id:1521:ORCL</JDBCURL>
<JDBCClassName>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</JDBCClassName>
<JDBCUserName>myuserid</JDBCUserName>     <JNDIURL></JNDIURL>
3. Create the report using Crystal XI, USE JDBC CONNECTION, and it takes about 12-20 minutes to connect, don'y know why :)
( now the integration part )
4. Create a project for the report in our apps workspace (e.d : ViewController)
5. Copy these jar files below to D:\..\ViewController\public_html\WEB-INF\lib
(I got the files from Crystal Installation)

6. Right click the project, project properties, Libraries, Add Jar / Directories,
Add all the jar files from previous step.
7. Copy CRConfig.XML to folder D:\..\ViewController (project folder)
( this CRConfig.XML is the one that I have not modified, the original one. )
Please check, you must have this on the file :
<reportlocation>.</reportlocation>
8. Then create a Folder e.g : reports under WEB-INF :
D:\..\ViewController\public_html\WEB-INF\reports, then copy all reports created on step 3 on to this folder.
9. create a jsp to call the report, here is sample of my JSP :

Problem with Crystal Report Viewer and Dual Monitors

Post Author: jtgoff
CA Forum: .NET
Hey Guys,
I'm running into another problem with the Crystal Report Viewer. Here's a little info before I get started, I'm developing a Windows App using WinForms in VS2005 and Crystal 11 Release 2. I'm referencing all the latest Crystal dlls from Service Pack 2 of Crystal 11 Release 2. The problem occurs when I drag my Windows Form that contains a Crystal Report Viewer onto my second monitor and try to scroll or resize it, when I try this the Report Document within the Viewer becomes glitchy, blocky, and un-readable. I drag it back onto my main monitor and perform the same actions and the Report appears perfectly fine. I notice this occurs after a number of Report Previews through my App. Initially when I start my App, I can drag the reports onto my second monitor and resize it and scroll through it no problem. However, after a number of Previews, I notice the problem occurs on my second monitor. This is a very strange bug that doesn't produce an error and appears to happen randomly. I was wondering if anyone has come across this problem, if so... Is there a solution for this?
Thanks in advance!

You can update the parameters using Crystal Viewer 2008. I had the same problem with the "CHANGE" button being grayed out.
Go to your Report -> Select Expert -> and now you have three choices: Record, Group, Saved Data. Put your select statement using your parameters in the Saved Data only (remove it from Record if already there).
It works awesome and even works on dynamic parameters!

Problem with Crystal Report XI and Regional Settings

Dear All,
I am working on Crystal Report XI under Chinese Windows 2000 Professional and Chinese Visual Foxpro 9.0.
I created a User defined Function Library under VFP9.0 as an ActiveX with a function that return a String. I could saw the function in CR XI and the function works fine when returning English. When the function returning a Chinese String, CR XI gives different result. The Chinese text returned from the function only works when my regional settings (control panel -> regional settings) is set to Chinese Taiwan otherwise it shows "??????".
It is queer, the text object always correct, shows Chinese text, no matter what regional settings is. I did try my best in VFP to convert the string to double byte, unicode, etc but it stilll doesn't work.
Could anyone help me please. Thank you.
Regards,
Antony

If you have the correct font, it will actually say "MS Arial Unicode" in any of the font drop downs - CR Designer, MS Word or any other software. So, you'll have to ensure that the font is installed.

Post Author: jvaldeziii
CA Forum: .NET
"Database Connector Error:"
does anybody there whose got an idea with this problem?
Im using VB2005 and im trying to show a report using CR XI with a Ms Access database...
Whenever i used a CRAXDRT.Report.SQLQueryString? my application has an error "Database Connector Error"
but whenever i omit this single line of code CRAXDRT.Report.SQLQueryString?
crxReport.SQLQueryString = "Select * from tblPersonal where EMP_ID like '0%'"
Or either i replace it with a CRAXDRT.Report.RecordSelectionFormula?
crxReport.RecordSelectionFormula = "{tblPersonal.IDNo} like '*'"
it works fine and it show the report and data...
But?? i have to use more flexible filter condition like "SQLQueryString" like using LEFT OUTER JOIN or even just a simple query string in sql query...
but using "SQLQueryString" gives me a head ache to figure it myself... I got this frustrating error in my application... "Database connector error"
thats why i need help... please anybody has a good idea to resolve this problem "Database connector error" please refer to my code if there's something missing or lacking in my code...
Here's my sample code:

ChildFormAutoSizeFit(Me)
Me.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor
Me.MdiParent = frmMain

crxTable.SetLogOnInfo("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data source=" & reportPath, "myEmpDB.mdb", "UserName", "myPassword")
Next crxTable
'Note1: this line crxReport.SQLQueryString gives me the headache "Database Connector Error"

You may want to move/ask this question in the "Other" sdk forum since this is not the CR.NET SDK, but actually RDC/COM SDK.
You are using the RDC in .NET, which is unsupported/untested so there is no way to know if it is a .NET specific issue or an issue with the RDC.
One of the COM folks may be of more help in that forum.
Good luck with your project.

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.

Detail sections not displayed with Crystal Reports 2010 Runtime (SP1 also)

I have migrated a VB app from RDC 9 to Crystal Reports 2010 and I'm experiencing a very strange issue.
In a report with 6 nested groups, the detail part is splitted in 7 section, and the whole detail has the "keep together" flag activated. At runtime, some detail sections are not displayed. There is no suppress condition on the detail section. The missed sections are those near bottom of the page. I suppose that when there is no room to print the section on the page and it should go on the next page, Crystal forget to display it.
I exported the report in Crystal format and reopened with Crystal Reports designer and the missed section are displayed.
The same report is displayed correctly using RDC 9.
If I show the group tree and select the missed section group, the section is correctly displayed on a separate preview page.
I've some screenshot to better demonstrate the problem.
I hoped SP1 will resolve the issue but unfortunately it didn't.

This issue has been escalated for a fix. tracking number is TE5000325237. For anyone wanting to attach to this thread with a similar issue, please note the behavior as decribed in the TE below. If the description does not match your issue exactly, please create a new thread.
Description - Steps to Reproduce;
1) Run the report in the CR 2008 designer - note the second page
2) Run the report in VS2010 app using CRVS2010 SP1:
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = <path to report>
3) Look at page 2 and compare to page 2 from the CR2008 designer (also, see attached compare.jpg file which is a screen shot of both views) - note missing group on page 2
4) Export to PDF, DO, RTF - same issue
5) Print to printer using the viewer print button - same issue
6) Same issue print to printer using code:
Dim crReportDocument As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument()
crReportDocument.Load("C:\Crystal\Test\Forum tests\Alberto missing detail section\Crystal Issue\Distinta di Taglio CR 2010.rpt")
crReportDocument.PrintToPrinter(1, 1, 1, 2)

8) Export to RPT file format - view this export in the CR2008 Designer - report looks as it should
9) Add report to the .NET2010 project. trying to view the repor tin the .NET2010 IDE results in .NET crashing.

Connection String with Crystal Report XI R2

Hello,
I am having an issue with Crystal Reports XI R2 and figured this would be a good place to start and post my question.
I created a report in Crystal Reports XI and am now trying to pass the user id and password so that the user can just run the report. I attempted to use the Crystal Report connection string setup but receive an Microsoft ODBC error when trying to use that.
My question is how can you pass a userid and password to crystal report XI so that when you open the report it runs without prompting the user? I do not have access to .NET. Can this be done using Crystal Reports XI only?
Thanks in advance for your help
Shaun

Hi Shawn,
Standalone CR can only do that if using a URL to open a report in BOE.
For CR Designer itself the only option is to turn on Trusted Authentication in your Server, used Mixed mode and then import all of your users into SQL Server. Refer to MS's Help file on how to.
Now when the user runs the reports CR will simply pass the local user info to SQL Server and no prompting will be required. We still respect DB security so if the user is not allowed to access the table then CR respects that.
Thank you
Don

Connection to OOD hosted database with Crystal Reports XI R2

Hi i'm quite new to Oracle and Crystal reports and trying to connect my Crystal Reports application to an instance of Oracle hosted by Oracle On Demand.
I'm not sure of how to do this and the Crystal documentation is very vague, has anyone done this or can someone give me some ideas of where to start. I've downloaded the latest Oracle Instant client as per the instructions and also the ODBC Instant client, but not sure how to configure the Crystal Reports.
Can anyone help?

You need to make an ODBC connection to the database using Contol Panel> Admin tools-> Data sources. Select system DSN -> Add . U'll see a list of drivers. Select Oracle ODBC driver (which you can install using instant client). Don't select MS Oracle Driver. It often does not work with oracle!!!! In the next screen you'll need to enter the DB details you are trying to access. Hopefully, at this time your tnsnames file is properly setup and there is an enrty in tnsnames for the database you are trying to access. If this is done properl, you'll see the name of the database in the drop down Tns Service names. Select that entry. Test the connection. If the connection works, congrats! If not , check the tnsnames and driver install. If the connection works, close control panel. In Crystal reports, select 'New' to create new report, then either standard or cross tab report. Next screen will be for making database connections. Select 'Oracle Server' under make new connections and enter the details on the next screen about the connection (username, password and select name of the ODBC connection you created above). Hopefully it will work

Crystal Report 2011 and ODBC DataSource

Hi
We use Crystal Report 2011 with Visual Studio 2010. How can we set the Report Data Source, while opening the report? The Data Source is a ODBC Connection to a MS Access Database.
Thx a lot.

Crystal Report 2011 does not install / have any .NET SDK. You would need CR for VS Sp10, install the EXE on top of VS 2010.
Develop a sample app using CR 13 assemblies. You could use the CR 2011 Designer to design your reports.
Refer to below sample applications, specifically the
csharp_web_simplelogonengine.zip
http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/Crystal+Reports+for+.NET+SDK+Samples
For an ODBC connection the logon code is almost the same just with a simple change.
Set the ServerName to your DSN and kkep the DBname empty.

Creating OLAP report with Crystal Reports and SQL Server Analysis Services 2005

Post Author: orahc_mao
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hi!
I am currently using the trial version of the Crystal Reports XI and I wanted to do an OLAP report. The problem is I cannot select a cube using "OLAP Connection Browser" (the popup window). I already selected Microsoft OLE DB Provider and entered the server name but still can't connect.
I don't think the problem is with SQL Server Analysis Services (2005) since Microsoft Excel - Import Data can detect the server as well as the cube I have created.
I also tried the "Database Expert" of Crystal Reports, created an OLE DB (ADO) connection with "OLE DB Provider for OLAP Services 8.0" driver, entered the server name, checked the integrated security and then I can readily select the database created at SQL Server Analysis Services. However, I still need the OLAP grid create the report but it goes back to my original problem... selecting a cube.
I hope somebody would help me with this issue.
Thanks a lot!
orahc_mao

Hello,
I don't recognize those variables as CR ones so it's likely something the original developer is setting in code.
You'll have to discuss with that person.
If your have SDK issues then post your question to one of the .NET or Java SDK forums.
Thank you
