Open datasocket connection error 42

Hello,
When I run my application as a standalone appliation I get error 42 from the "Open Datasocket Connection" VI, I was able to see it using the "Enable debbuging" feature in the build specification.  When I run my application in source code I don't have any problems with the "Open Datasocket Connection".  The address provided is the exact same address for the standalone executable and the source code which points to another computer LabVIEW application.  The protocol I'm using is psp://ComputerName...
Any ideas?
Michel
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It could be a problem that the executable cannot access the registery. That seems to be needed for Datasocket. Does it work when you start the application as administrator?
Btw. Why do you use Datasocket to read a psp variable? You should be able to use Open Variable Connection I think? Datasocket is almost obsolete.

    One more thing is that I cant see a service/channel called CONVERSION running on my server when i do use this command.
    ps -aef | grep conversion
    root 6144 6000 0 11:14:28 pts/1 0:00 grep conversion
    When i try to start it using imsimta qm utility, output shows as
    qm.maint>; start conversion
    QM-I-STARTED, channel was not stopped
    qm.maint>;
    Later I stopped and started conversion channel
    qm.maint>; stop conversion
    QM-I-STOPPED, channel stopped
    qm.maint>; start conversion
    QM-I-STARTED, channel started
    qm.maint>;
    I can see that on other servers the conversion channel is running and few msges are in queue. I do have other servers which running the same messaging server. But I am not getting why don't on this server. Where both servers having the same configuration.
    Please, help me to sort out this issue.
    Thanks in advance....

  • Failed to open the connection error using Business View OLE DB

    I have a Crystal Report built on a Business View with the db being accessed by an OLE driver.  Everything works fine using Crystal Designer, but when I try to access it through BOE I get the "Failed to open the connection" error.  I have the ole drivers installed on the server.
    We are on BOE 12.1.0.
    The db is IBM as400.
    Suggestions??

    Ok so I spent the day trying to find the differences between the working and the non-working application. I began by adding code one piece at a time to the working application. The goal was to try and get it to break on the deployment server. I found the lines of code that is causing the break on the deployment server. Here it is:
        private void setReportParameters()
            try
                crystalReportDocument.SetParameterValue(0, reportUserName.Value);
                crystalReportDocument.SetParameterValue(1, reportArea.Value);
                crystalReportDocument.SetParameterValue(2, reportCDR.SelectedValue);
                crystalReportDocument.SetParameterValue(3, reportStatus.Value);
            catch (Exception ex)
                throw ex;
    This sub-routine is called from my button click code and is used to set the parameters for the report. Once I added this to the working application it broke also. My goal here is to send the parameters to the report from a form the user is filling out. Please keep in mind this code works in Visual Studio 2005 and my local IIS server running on my development machine. It breaks on the target deployment server
    The code broke on reports with sub-reports as well as report with no sub-reports. As soon as it was added and deployed the application through the "Failed to open the connection" error.
    Thoughts?

  • SpamAssassin / Amavisd tuning - TCP active open: Failed connect() errors

    I started this post as we were experiencing a problem with occassional delayed mail delivery to our mail store. As I continued writing it, I think that I've resolved it. But I wanted to post this anyway so if I'm doing things right it might help someone else; or, if I'm doing something wrong someone can correct me. :) For reference, we have a quad Sun v440, and process about 500,000 messages a day.
    We were seeing messages like this in our log files:
    09-Nov-2006 08:28:09.37 tcp_scan Q 1 [email protected] rfc822;[email protected] @tcp_scan-daemon:[email protected] TCP active open: Failed connect() Error: Connection timed out
    example.com represents our local domain. The errors seemed to occur proportionally to the amount of incoming mail we received. That is, we saw more of them under load.
    We are running SpamAssassin, Amavisd/clamav, and:
    Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.2-5.01 (built Nov 22 2005)
    libimta.so 6.2-5.01 (built 11:57:57, Nov 22 2005)
    SunOS hostname 5.9 Generic_118558-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440
    This line seems to say that the message is in the tcp_scan channel, and cannot send to 127.0.0.1:10024 (amavisd) because that port isn't listening.
    My amavisd max_servers was set at 15. After reading http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/amavisd-new-magdeburg-20050519.pdf and making a wild guess, I increased it to 30. The errors were less frequent, but still occurred.
    The output of 'sar -d' showed that my local disk was experiencing upwards of 80% utilization. I moved the amavisd temp directory and the spamassassin bayes db to a san volume, and that sped everything up dramatically. The connect errors went away, clamav avg time per message is at 4 seconds down from 10. I am now receiving errors from spamassassin that say:
    Nov 9 10:27:27 hostname.example.com spamd[21601]: prefork: server reached --max-children setting, consider raising it
    My --max-children is set to 25 right now, and the server is cpu bound under heavy load, so I see no reason to raise it.
    So this is my setup. I am no longer having an immediate problem, but comments/questions are welcome.
    Config files related to my setup are below.

  • TCP active open: Failed connect()    Error: Connection timed out

    Hi,
    There is one message which can't be delieved to the recepient with error " TCP active open: Failed connect() Error: Connection timed out" This is the error that we found in the mail.log_current file.
    I have no problem sending email to the same address from my hotmail account.
    any suggestion ?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    The message can only mean one thing. Your server cannot connect to that host.
    It's possible that the remote system is lying to your Messaging Server, and that's gotten it confused. Some firewalls do this by repeating the entire capability string from the server behind them, but can't actually handle all the capabilities.
    PIX firewalls do this.
    When you connect, they pretend to be able to "startls", but if you try, they hang up. They appear to handle "EHLO", but when you try, they hang up.
    You can put debugging on the tcp_local channel, and see the actual conversation, if you like.
    master_debug and slave_debug go into the imta.cnf definition line. MM_DEBUG=5 goes at the end of your option.dat file.
    then
    imsimta cnbuild
    imsimta restart
    will attempt to send the message. You will want to back the changes out, as you'll get lots of extra log files you really don't need.
    Post the log file, and we can see what's happening.

  • Failed to open the connection: Error Code 17

    Here's an odd one.
    Environment:
    VB.NET Winform
    Visual Studio 2008
    .NET framework 2.0
    Crystal Reports 2008
    ODBC connection
    I have three reports, living in the same directory. They are essentially identical, except for the grouping. All three run successfully within Crystal reports.
    From a report viewer Winform in VS, two of the three run. As I am dealing with a small data set, the reports render quickly. On the third report, There is a long pause when the report viewer form opens, then I finally get an error:
    "Failed to open the connection.
    Details: [Database Vendor Code: 17]
    Failed to open the connection.
    CallReportByExtension 58F5C135-7BA3-4215-898A-DADA6C7DAD9C.rpt
    Details:[Database Vendor Code: 17]
    I was initially getting similar errors on all three reports, before changing the datasource location to my ODBC connection. I have double-checked the location, verified the database, etc.
    What am I doing wrong? I can provide the VB code if requested, but since the other two reports work properly, I doubt it's code. I do know that I am passing the report name and path correctly to the report viewer form.
    As I am about to kick my monitor through the window and become a street denizen, I would greatly appreciate any help that would be offered.

  • Failed to open the connection error

    Hi,
    I have a crystal report in my .net App. I want to fetch data from another server on report running on my machine. Hence, I pass connection dynamically in the code. The remote server will not have DSN configured. I should be able to pass all the details in code only. I do not want any ODBC dependency.
    Following is the code snippet I use to pass these details:
               ReportDocument rpt = new ReportDocument();
                rpt.Load( pathToreport);
                ConnectionInfo crConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
                crConnectionInfo.ServerName = serverName;
                crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = DatabaseName;
                crConnectionInfo.UserID = userName;
                crConnectionInfo.Password = passwd;
                CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Tables CrTables = rpt.Database.Tables;
                TableLogOnInfo crtableLogoninfo = new TableLogOnInfo();
                foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table CrTable in CrTables)
                    crtableLogoninfo = CrTable.LogOnInfo;
                    crtableLogoninfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo;
                    CrTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crtableLogoninfo);
                 crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rpt;
                crystalReportViewer1.RefreshReport();
    But,running this code gives me error saying,
    Is there any specific format in which i shall pass the server name for this type of connection?
    Or I am missing anything else?
    Please help.

    Yes, you are missing a DSN on the Server. How do you expect CR to connect if you can't give it valid connection info?
    You never said what DB you are using so if it supports OLE DB typically you don't need a connection pre-defined as you would when using ODBC.
    So your Server name would be the actual name of the Server PC and the rest would still be the same. Note: if using Oracle you pass in a blank string for the Database name.
    And of course the user info you are passing in code must be in the DB Server User list.

    Hi,
    Following solution might help you to resolve the issue.
    Solution1:
    Issue happens because universe connection to the Database is not responding and the Data Source Name is not configured to write SQL Server 2005 database.
    Resolution
    Created new DSN connection under SYSTEM DSN to SQL Server 2005 Database.
    Import the universe from the designer.
    Go to File->Parameters.
    Edit Connection.
    On the Database Middleware Page expand SQl Server 2005->Select SQL Server 2005 driver.
    Change the DSN to new DSN connection
    Test the connection.
    Save the Universe and Export it to the repository.
    Solution2:
    I am taking Oracle as an example over here.
    This can be caused when the SQLNET.ora is located in a remote location using mapped drives.
    Resolution
    To resolve,
    check the registry [HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORACLE] you should see a folder called HOME0
    look for any paths that contain a mapped drive partition
    Change the mapped drive letter to a UNC path (
    server\folder)
    Open a command prompt and do a tnsping using the tnsname and verify the location of the SQLNET.ora or TNSNAMES.ora
    If the path is not updated to the new path
    Reboot the server

  • "Failed to open the connection" problem related to multiple tables in the report?

    Post Author: Gadow
    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
    System specifics:
    Web environment using ASP.Net 2.0 (from Visual Studio 2005 Professional)
    Crystal Reports 2008, v. 12.0.0.549, Full
    We have set up the following method for displaying reports via our website:
    User is sent to a report-specific page. The user is given some filtering options specific to the report that will be viewed. When the user has specified the data filters, the user clicks a button.
    The page wraps up the report parameters -- selection query, formula values, report location, the name to be displayed, etc. -- into a class which gets put into the Session object.
    The page redirects to DisplayReport.aspx. ALL reports redirect to this page.
    DisplayReport.aspx retrieves the report parameters from Session. A ReportDocument object is created and loaded, then set with the data from the parameters class.
    A ConnectionInfo object is created and set with the relevant log on credentials. All of the reports draw from the same database, so the connection information is hard-coded as the same for all reports. The page then iterates through all of the tables in the Database.Tables collection of the ReportDocument and calls ApplyLogOnInfo to each table using the ConnectionInfo object.
    The page is rendered and the user gets the filtered report.
    We currently have seven reports. Five reports work fine and display the correctly filtered data with no error messages. Two reports generate a Failed to open the connection error and do not display. I have verified that the queries being sent to DisplayReport.aspx are valid, and as I said the connection information itself is hard-coded in the one page that displays the reports and this is identical to all reports.
    The five reports that do work all have a single data table, either an actual database table or a single view. The two reports that do not work all have multiple tables. As far as I can tell, this is the only difference between the sets; all seven reports are based on the same DSN and I have verified the database on all of the reports. All of the reports were written using Crystal Reports 8, and all of the reports display fine in a Windows app I wrote some years ago using Crystal Reports 8. Again, the only difference between those reports that do work and those that do not is the number of tables used in the report: one table or view in the reports that display, more than one table (tables only, none use views) in the reports that do not display.
    As for the code I am using, below are the relevant methods. The function MakeConnectionInfo simply parses out the components of a standard SQL connection string into a ConnectionInfo object. DisplayedReport is the ID of the CrystalReportViewer on the page.Protected Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
            Dim o As Object = Session("ReportParams")
            Dim ReportURL As String = ""
            'Verify that there is a ReportParameters object
            If o Is Nothing OrElse o.GetType IsNot GetType(ReportParameters) Then 'Redirect to the error page
                Response.Redirect("/errors/MissingReport.aspx")
            End If
            ReportParams = CType(o, ReportParameters)
            'Verify that the report exists
            ReportURL = "/Reports/ReportFiles/" + ReportParams.ReportName
            ReportPath = Server.MapPath(ReportURL)
            If Not File.Exists(ReportPath) Then

            If ReportParams.SelectString <> "" Then
                Dim Adapt As New SqlDataAdapter(ReportParams.SelectString, DB_Bonus)
                Dim DS As New Data.DataSet
                Adapt.Fill(DS)
                RD.SetDataSource(DS.Tables(0))

                Dim FFD As FormulaFieldDefinition = Nothing
                Try
                    FFD = RD.DataDefinition.FormulaFields(kvp.Key)
                Catch ex As Exception

                            'For now, treat these as if they were strings. If things blow up here,
                            'we will need to add the appropriate formatting for the field type.
                            FFD.Text = String.Format("""""", kvp.Value)

                T.ApplyLogOnInfo(TLI)
            Next
            DisplayedReport.ReportSource = RD
        End Sub
    Does this approach not work with reports containing multiple tables, or is there something I'm missing? Any meaningful suggestions would be much appreciated.

  • "Failed to open the connection" Issue

    Dear All,
    I am using crystal report X1 Release 2 version. I am connecting the crystal report from the application software. When I open the crystal report designer directly and refresh means it displays the report properly.  But when I try to open the crystal report from the Application it shows "Failed to open the connection" error message. What would be the possible reason(s).
    My database is MS Access and am using ODBC to connect with database.
    Expecting your replies at the earliest.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    I am using MS Access database, it is not protected by Password. I am creating dynamic dsn for the database.
    My application is developed using MS VC++ 6.0 in Windows xp.
    I am using SP 4 for the Crystal report X1 release 2 designer.
    My application is not yet deployed, still using in the dev system.
    I have attached the code snippet below for your reference:

  • Failed to open the connection. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 53 ]

    I'm upgrading one of our applications from Visual Studio 2005 to 2010. In the process I'm also switching our reports to run using Stored Procedures instead of Tables/Views.  Everything runs fine on development machines after all the migration work.  On the server however, it does not work. And I am getting the error message ""
    Server is Windows 2003 Server 32 bit.  And yes, I have installed the latest runtimes version 13.0.2000.0 on the server.  There have been no other changes on the server other than to switch the target framework on the website in question from .net 2 to .net 4, and then to modify the web.config file to remove references to the older Crystal Reports and replace with references to the newer version.
    I've seen many other threads on this "failed to open the connection" errors but none of them are my problem except there is one post that remains unanswered where someone had the same Database Vendor Code 53.  I don't know what that error means, spent a considerable amount of time researching that before asking this question.
    Lastly, it appears that this error only happens when the report is pulling data from a Stored Procedure rather than Tables/Views.  If I re-copy the previous reports, they still work.
    The ODBC drivers haven't changed, nor should they. They are fully up to date on that server machine.
    I can't think of anything else that would be indicative of anything other than this is a bug.  Here is the error text as it shows up in the event log:

    Lots of great info here, except for the database; MS SQL? Oracle? Etc?
    Database Vendor Code 53 is an error code that the CR engine simply passes straight from the database it's self. E.g.; look at your database error code and you should be able to find a verbose description of the error.
    As a test, what happens if you add the report to your project and run it in the CR design part of the .NET IDE?
    - A quick google search of Error 53 (for MS SQL - an assumption) comes up with a number of good hits. E.g.;

  • Failed to open the connection. Error in the Designer when copying ...

    I have two different systems I am developing an application on.
    I copy the entire directory from one system to the other. Both systems have the same environment:
    Visual Studio 2010
    Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 (the production release, or I think it is the vesion is 13.0.2.0 is the version on the assemblies)
    SQL 2008 R2
    Today, I started adding Crystal reports to this VS solution. I have a reportdriver class that exports all the reports to an HTTP Stream, but we can sit that aside for now. The problem I am having is strictly with the integrated designer.
    I have a bunch of existing reports written for an old Sybase databse. I have ported them to SQL and the table structure matches. I simply add the report to my project, point it to the new datasource (using "Set Datasource Location" - OLE ADO SQL) and then preview the report to be sure it runs.
    I am just using "localhost" as my server name for the OLE connection so I...in theory... don't have to change the data source to view it on the other system. Both systems have SQL 2008 R2 installed locally. For my login credentials, I use SQL Security and use the same database login/password on both development machines andthe production server.
    Today, I copied my entire project to the other PC (as I do almost every day).. When I open any of the reports (in VS) and try to preview them I get:
    Failed to open the connection.
    Details: ADO Error Code: 0x80004005
    Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provide for SQL Server
    Description: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect().]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
    SQL State: 08001
    Native Error: 17 [Database Vendor Code: 17]
    I can only guess that I am using two different OLE ADO drivers on the two systems or there is something embedded in the rport or somewhere in my solution that "knows" I am not really on the same system that I initially set them up on and previewd them with.
    Am I on the right track? Any idea how I can fix this? Obviously, I don't want to have to setup the datasource for every report in my application (if I do that, the report works) when I copy it from the development to the production server.
    I am in a real bind here and under a fast aproaching deadline. Any help is much appreciated!!!

    Don't use localhost as your server name. It's a reserved name and should not be used in code.

  • Getting Error:Failed to open the connection while calling crystal report

    I am getting the below error while calling the crystal report from dot net app. I am using OLEDB to connect to database. It is working perfectly in our DEV environment but as soon as I move it to production information after changing the logon information in the report it start giving the below error.
    Failed to open the connection.C:\WINDOWS\TEMP{C2FD97D9-2ADE-41BB-88FF-23A4DF20BC6F}.rpt
    Details: [Database Vendor Code: 17 ]

    Are you able to connect to the database from the production machine using a UDL file?
    If you haven't tried this, here's how to do it. Take these steps on the machine that is hosting the application. Create a new text file on the desktop. Change the file extension to ".udl" (without the quotes). Double-click on this to bring up the OLEDB connection test: start on the Provider tab and select the appropriate provider. Click "Next" and on the following tab enter your connection information. Click the "Test Connection" button to test the connection. Does it connect  to the database successfully?
    If you click on "OK" to close the dialog and then open the UDL file with Notepad, you should see an OLEDB connection string. In this string should be the same property values for server, database, user id and password which you are providing through your application. If they are not the same, modify your application to use these values.
    If testing your connection information with the UDL file works but your application is still failing when using the same credentials, try profiling or tracing the database. Do you see connection attempts from the application? Are there any errors?
    If you're impersonating, have you set up windows authentication correctly for both the application and the database?
