Opening database in CR2008

I cannot open a database in CR 2008.
I have a client's database (dbf) which I copied to another computer where CR 2008 is running. I want to develop some reports. When I try to enter the database files using The Database Expert, the files are listed under Database Files, but when I try to open one of them I get the message "Failed to load database information" and after I clicked on OK, I got the message "Unknown Database Connector Error". Any ideas how to overcome this and get the files to open?
Any help will be appreciated -- Many thanks,
Russ Hyman

Thanks, Sastry
I can create an ODBC datasource for the dbf file, but when I try to open it, it asks for a User ID and Password. I have checked with my client and he is not aware of any ID/password.
Do you have thoughts on how to handle this?
Thanks,
Russ

1. Consider changing your RMAN retention policy.
If you are using dataguard, then consider changing your

2. Backup files to tertiary device such as tape using the

If an OS command was used to delete files, then use

My Catalog - "Can't open Database" error

After being able to open Photoshop Album Starter Edition successfully and without incident several months ago, one day I received this error:
"Problem opening the Catalog named "My Catalog". Another user or application may have the catalog open, or one or more files may be missing, out of date, or damaged. [Microsoft] [ODBC Microsoft Access 97 Driver] can't open database 'unknown'. It may not be a database that your application recognizes or the file may be corrupt. Attempt to compact and recover this catalog then try again? - OK or Cancel"
If I choose OK, then I get another error:
"Catalog Recovery Incomplete - A problem was encountered during catalog recovery. Your catalog may be ok, but if you experience problems with it that can't be resolved through the Reover Catalog option or restarting your computer system you may need to restore this catalog from a backup. - OK"
That goes to a 3rd error message:
"Unable to open "My Catalog because it is damaged. Please choose: Open existing or Create a new catalog named My Catalog-1.psa"
If I choose existing, it goes to the folder where My Catalog is stored, I can click it, and then I receive the first message. If I choose create a new catalog, it does, then gives me the first error message. PSA SE never opens, but the photo downloader appears in my Task bar Notification area, and I can Launch, Enable/Disable or Exit that program. If I try to acquire a photo, I end up with the same first error message.
I've seen the other threads that address what may be close to this issue, and I've done all the fixes suggested, short of reinstalling WindowsXP, which I'd rather avoid, but I've had no luck - I still get the exact same error messages.
I am using Office 97, including Access, Word, Excel, etc. but I'm not having any issues with those. I'm also using Pagemaker 7.0 and no issues there related to a catalog or database. I did have at one time a trial copy of Illustrator, and this problem started occurring after that trial was expired. I've since uninstalled Illustrator, done all the fixes suggested here, deleted the My Catalog files, restarted, uninstalled and re-installed PSA SE3.2, and still it cannot 'see' My Catalog.
Any other suggestions (besides upgrading to Office-this decade, which I would love, but employer hasn't made that leap yet.)? TIA
Tracey

No, no multiple users on this machine, or on that application. Both are located on the C: drive of a computer with intranet and internet access.
Could it have anything to do with the application Microsoft Access? [Microsoft ODBC Access97 driver] is named in the first error message. Access97 was always on this computer, but it wasn't actually put into use until about 6-8 months ago, and it was sometime after I started using it that I could no longer open PSA-SE. Connection? Fixable?

Cannot open database "ReportServer" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'USER LOGON'

I want to grant permissions to all domain users to view reports on our Report Server. Domain users are able to access our Report Server URL and folder, but when they click on a report item they get an error message:
"Cannot open database "ReportServer" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'USER LOGON'"
I'm using windows authentication and configured the local service account in SSReportS Config Manager as the credentials to connect to the Report Server DB.
Can someone please help how I should properly do this step by step to give all domain users permissions to view a report in SSRS?
Thanks much! - Rookie DBA

Hi IWAR,
The error message "Cannot open database "ReportServer" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'USER LOGON'" means the user 'USER LOGON' does not have permissions to access the "ReportServer" database.
To fix this issue, please verify that the user has a valid database user login. For more details, please refer to the following steps.
In SQL Server Management Studio, open Object Explorer and expand the Databases folder.
Expand the database in which to create the new database user.
Right-click the Security folder, point to New, and then click User.
On the General page, enter a name for the new user in the User name box.
In the Login name box, enter the name of a SQL Server login to map to the database user.
Click OK.

Hope this helps.

Error while opening database studio in maxdb

Hi Experts,
I am having maxdb 7.8 and database studio AP MaxDB Database Studio,Version: 7.8.02.21,Build: 021-121-242-175
but when i am tying to open database studio it through
error message " problems opening perspective 'com.sap.sdb.ui.perspectives.mainperspective '
i was though it is coming due to old version of java then i have upgrade with 1.7 but problem is still there.
so please help me .....
Thanks
Naresh KK.

Hi Naresh,
Basically MAXDB Database studio 7.8 requires JRE 1.6. You can do the following
Uninstall the Database Studio version.
1. To uninstall, call the installation manager 7.8 ("Programs -> SAP MaxDB -> Installation Manager").
2. Choose "Remove MaxDB Installation".
3. Under "Legacy", select the Database Studio version.
Selecting "Legacy" ensures that you do not select the Database Studio 7.8 that you have just installed for uninstallation.
4. Choose "Forward" to confirm that you want the system to remove the installation.
Due to the operation of the earlier Database Studio version, some processes may still run (for example, serv.exe). Stop these processes and continue with the 7.8 installation.
And then install JRE 1.6. Then delete the files in location c:\Users\<User>\sdb\DatabaseStudio (delete files .configuration, .metadata, p2) and then re-install MaxDB database studio.

Deepak Kori

Can't open database homepage from different windows-user

Hello!
I've lost my user in which i installed Oracle Express 10 database. Now I'm using a different user-account (also with Admin rights) but I can't open the database homepage or log-in to sqlplus. I get the insufficient rights error. Which rights should i set and where?
Thanks

I use oracle 9i and run on Linux Advance Server 3.0...
i can log in via sqlplus or oem by "sys" and "any password" , but the instance status in oem is "Shutdown". when i attempt to "Open" that instance i got the error message above...
why i can login as sys and any incorrect passwd?
what else need to configure in order to open database?
Thank for your help...

I dont have any redo logs and archivelogs. Can anyone help me how to open the database
thanks and regards

no there is no other way allowresetlogs_corruption is one of the last resort unless oracle dont recommend,usually you got this error when restored datafile is far behind then others datafile CKPT SCN+COntrolfile CKPT SCN header.

You will have to apply enough redo to that datafile either from archivelog or from online redo log file,if you cant then no way you can open the database except using allowresetlogs_corruption with the oracle recommendation.
Think why archivelog backup ,database backup and online redo log file, controlfile redundency is recommended.

Tried opening a file in library and it states can't open database with library name? It says Relaunch then will not open? and Blocks me completely from Aperture. I have to go to Finder to Rename it? I need this file how do I get it to open?

Tried opening a file in library and it states can't open database with library name? It says Relaunch then will not open? and Blocks me completely from Aperture. I have to go to Finder to Rename it? I need this file how do I get it to open?

Aftershotz,
You're going to have to give a bit more information.
What do you mean by "opening a file in library?" There is no function of Aperture to open files -- you can open (switch) libraries.
You'll have to be more specific about error messages, too. Perhaps some screenshots would be useful to diagnose your problem. "Can't open database with library name" is not enough detail about what Aperture is really telling you.

Mac Manager: Unable to open databases

I'm running the 10.4 upgrade and Mac Manager. I'm suddenly unable to open the MM admin program and am given the following error:
Unable to open databases on "OurServer" because of an unknown error: A disk error has occurred
I've tried rebuilding the databases by following the directions in Article 88023, but that hasn't changed anything. I still can't open MM and our users are unable to login.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have 5 buildings that are still using MM. We recently upgraded the servers from 10.2.8 to 10.3.9. When I try to admin MM on the 10.3 servers from my laptop with 10.4.7 I get an error, something like, unable to access database, folder not found.
However if I run MM admin from a 10.3 workstation it works fine. have you tried to admin MM from a different workstation?

User unable to open Database in RSC 3.1

Hey Everyone
I've got a user whose unable to open a database in RoboSource Control 3.1. She receives no error and RSC just sits there like DB connection was never opened. She can open other databases.
I've tried different accounts on her machine and the database won't open for them either, but her account can open the database from other machines. I've repaired and uninstalled/reinstalled RSC but to no avail. I originally thought this to be a cache problem, but since it's affecting other accounts I'm no longer sure.
Has anyone seen something like this before?
Thanks!

I am out of the office until 27-07-2009.

I RENAMED FILE TO SYSTEM01.DBF ????
why you relocate that file ?. That was not the file with problems.
The file with problems is this one.
'G:\ORACLE\ORADATA\ORCL\O1_MF_SYSTEM_ZYJOFL00_.DBF'
I propose you to set offline the tablespace that is related to this file ( 'G:\ORACLE\ORADATA\ORCL\O1_MF_SYSTEM_ZYJOFL00_.DBF'
) and try to open the database in read only mode if this get succesful, after we can try to relocate the another file.
What is the tablespace that is related to that datafile ?
