Pacman -S faile to retrieve packages from [custom]

Hi Forum
I have installed Arch in an external USB HDD
/dev/sdb1 -> /boot
/dev/sdb2 -> /
/dev/sdb3 -> swap
/dev/sdb4 -> /mount/Arch_repo
in .../Arch_repo I have a snapshot of [community], [core] and [extra];
I have configured [community], [core] and [extra] in pacman.conf so as to point to the proper locations in the folders.
I also have a /mount/My_repo
in My_repo I dump all packages I built from AUR, plus my own packages created from my own PKGBUILDs and enabled [custom] in pacman.conf to point to that place.
Yet when I run pacman -Syu ( academic example, since my Arch_repo is static, the snapshot is not supposed to change, since this setup will be used to create a LiveDVD as soon as a finish packing and installing everything I want ) pacman complaints it cannot find custom.db.tar.gz.
Good point... it does not exist... ... so pacman does not know the contents of [custom] and whatever i dump there; I have compared to community.db.tar.gz, and found out this gzip is a whole set of folders with the names of packages containing each one the package manifest and the dependences list.
Is there any tool to build this for a custom repo, or must I create this by hand...?
My question is of particular importance since I am thinking about using a tool that checks the the existing packages in the system ( pacman -Q ) and then uses them to build a live Image of that system, ArchISO; if these packages cannot be "seen" inside some repo ( missing custom.db.tar.gz ) their inclusion in my live image is very likely not to occur...
And lots of packages I want to include in my Live contraption are in [custom]... so how do i fix this thing....??
I mean... for ArchISO to work, and include packages from a repo, the tar.gz of that repo's database must exist... is there some way I can create this for [custom]...?

Failed to retrieve data from the database.DB Vendor Code 156

Hi,
We recently migrated our scheduled Crystal Reports from BO XI R2 platform to BO XI 3.1, and are having issues with select reports that pull from the same SQL database. The tables and fields exist in the database - and I ran the SQL in a different tool and the syntax is correct. When I try to run an on-demand or schedule one of these reports in 3.1 Infoview I receive the following error:
Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 156 ]
Running:
CR 2008 SP2
BO XI 3.1 SP2 (FP 2.7)
Please advise! Thanks!

Hi LuAnn,
Not really clear what he said but I believe this is correct. The BOE servers are typically running under the local System Account. So when it passed the report job from the BOE Server it is the Local System account that the database is getting. We only do single hop for security. Which means if you are logged into InfoView under your local domain account and try to run a report BOE will not, unless specified in the custom database connection options in the CMC, pass your credentials to the DB but will pass the local system account credentials which is likely why these reports are failing.
As A TEST only Ask your Administrator to set up a user account in MS SQL Server that has rights to run all reports. Or when you create the report check on the option to use Trusted Authentication. Then when the reports are published to BOE your log on credentials should get passed to the DB server through BOE.
You'll have to more testing to find a Use account that you can run BOE Servers under and still maintain DB security and report level security that works for you. I also suggest you post your security questions to the BOE Administrator forum to get help configuring all of this and what others are doing.
Thank you

Have you been able to resolve this yet? I don't have any reference to Oracle error codes but would suspect a quick Google of something like 'Oracle error code 997' should result in good information, since it is an Oracle error...
Hope this helps.

Failed to retrieve data from the database error message

Hello,
I have a fairly simple report that correctly retrieves the data from the database providing that there are no selection formula.
However, as soon as I add the record selection formula:
{fireService.serviceDate} >= DateTime (2009, 10, 3, 0 ,0 ,0)
I get the following errors:
Failed to retrieve data from the database
Cannot determine the queries necessary to get data for this report. Details: An invalid range operator has been encountered.
However, when I use the Database / Show SQL Query option and copy the query directly into the sql query analyser it works perfectly.
Any ideas?

I am using a table to select the records from.
In fact it is a series of joined tables.
The SQL Query generated is:
SELECT "fire"."unitNumber", "configLocation"."location", "configFireEquipmentType"."type", "configFireEquipmentSize"."size", "configFireEquipmentRating"."rating", "fire"."yearManufactured", "fire"."LPT", "configFireServiceLevel"."Level", "configTest"."test", "fireService"."serviceRepairs", "customer"."name", "customer"."customerGUID", "customer"."address1", "customer"."address2", "fireService"."serviceDate", "fireService"."comment"
FROM (((((((("SAFE2"."dbo"."fire" "fire" INNER JOIN "SAFE2"."dbo"."customer" "customer" ON "fire"."customerGUID"="customer"."customerGUID") INNER JOIN "SAFE2"."dbo"."fireService" "fireService" ON "fire"."fireGUID"="fireService"."fireGUID") LEFT OUTER JOIN "SAFE2"."dbo"."configLocation" "configLocation" ON "fire"."locationGUID"="configLocation"."locationGUID") INNER JOIN "SAFE2"."dbo"."fireEquipment" "fireEquipment" ON "fire"."fireEquipmentGUID"="fireEquipment"."fireEquipmentGUID") LEFT OUTER JOIN "SAFE2"."dbo"."configFireEquipmentRating" "configFireEquipmentRating" ON "fireEquipment"."ratingGUID"="configFireEquipmentRating"."fireEquipmentRatingGUID") LEFT OUTER JOIN "SAFE2"."dbo"."configFireEquipmentSize" "configFireEquipmentSize" ON "fireEquipment"."sizeGUID"="configFireEquipmentSize"."fireEquipmentSizeGUID") LEFT OUTER JOIN "SAFE2"."dbo"."configFireEquipmentType" "configFireEquipmentType" ON "fireEquipment"."typeGUID"="configFireEquipmentType"."fireEquipmentTypeGUID") LEFT OUTER JOIN "SAFE2"."dbo"."configFireServiceLevel" "configFireServiceLevel" ON "fireService"."serviceLevelID"="configFireServiceLevel"."levelID") LEFT OUTER JOIN "SAFE2"."dbo"."configTest" "configTest" ON "fireService"."testID"="configTest"."testID"
WHERE "fireService"."serviceDate">={ts '2009-10-03 00:00:00'}
ORDER BY "customer"."name", "customer"."customerGUID"
It looks complext but is not. Most of these joins reference lookup tables.

Crystal Reports - Failed to retrieve data from the database

Hi There,
I'm hoping that somebody can help me.
I've developed a crystal report from a stored procedure which I wrote. I can execute the stored procedure within SQL Server and within the Crystal Reports designer without any errors. Furthermore, I have imported the report into sap and can run it within SAP from the server without any errors. SAP version 8.81 PL5
The issue is that when it's run from a client machine, I get the following error: "Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: Database Vendor Code: 156. Error in the File RCR10010 {tempfile location}
Here's a list of things which I have tried, all to no avail:
- Checked user permissions to ensure that they have proper authorizations
- Re-set the datasource connection and re-imported the report to SAP.
- Exported the report and reviewed the datasource connection and re-imported to SAP.
- Tried to run the report on multiple machines to ensure that it's not machine specific
- Tried to run the report using different users to ensure it's not user specific.
- Tested other reports built from stored procedures on client machines to ensure that they work.
Any assistance in this would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you

After further testing, we found that the report could be run within SAP on any work station which had the CR designer installed on it.
As it turns out, the procedure which I wrote has temp tables in it. The runtimes built into the SAP client install do not support creating temp tables when executing the report from within SAP. Which is why the report could not retreive data.
To work around this, I installed external runtimes which were the same version of the Crystal Report and now the report can be run within SAP from any workstation which has the external runtimes (and not just the runtimes within the SAP client).
I hope this makes sense.

Failed to retrieve data from the database crystal reports 2008 in SAP B1

Hello friends,
I am using Crystal report 2008 with SAP B1 PL 8.8. When I run any report, it runs correctly from Crystal Report. But whenever I try to open the same report through SAP ( Tools -> Preview External Crystal Report ), it prompts the parameters for that report and then open up the crystal report window and throws an Error message ("failed to retrieve data from the database. Details [Database Vendor Code: 156]").
Please any one suggest me the corrective solution.
Thanks in Advance,
Keyur Raval.

I had the same problem in SAP B1 2007. Report worked fine except when it was open from B1. Generally there may be different problems. In my case the same problem was caused by using some procedure which was in a specific schema. Changing the schema into "dbo" solved the problem.

Failed to retrieve data from the database/invalid argument provided when employing link between two web services datasources

Post Author: vpost
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I am trying to join information from two related web services within CR XI. I have successfully set up the web services as data sources have been able to get to the point where I get good data back. However, when I try to pull in certain fields, I get an error that says "Failed to retrieve data from the database/invalid argument provided". Here's the scenario:
The web services are structured as follows:Web Service 1 (Artist) has attributes of Artist Name and Date of Birth.Web Service 2 (CD) has attributes of CD Title and Release Date. Underneath each CD are songs, each of which have a Song Title and Artist Name.
I have defined both web services and defined a link between Artist.Artist Name and CD/Song.Artist Name. I am able to run a report with Song Title and Date of Birth that crosses web services. I am able to run another report with Song Title and CD Title that crosses the different levels in the second web service. However, if I add CD Title to the first report or Date of Birth to the second (both of which effectively force CR to employ the link between the two web services AND the CD/Song hierarchical structure in the second web service, I get the aforementioned error.
Any assistance understanding how multiple web services can be linked in this manner would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure about your exact situation, but having similar problem with another application and have tracked down to security. Added user to group Domain Admin and it works fine. It appears to be accessing a subdirectory which it does not have permission to use and then times out and returns the "invalid....". Seems that once the query just over a certain size (and I'm not sure what triggers this) it needs to make use of temparory file disk, intead of ram.
I'm still trying to track down which temporary it's trying to uses - so if you have any ques.

Hi,
Are all your data in the View or each time you run a query it update the View? Please try to update your View then run the Report again, much better if you delete the original View and replace with a new one,

Failed to retrieve data from the database Error

I had some reports setup in Crystal XI based on a Sql server but recently we had an upgrade, the database has been moved to IBM Informix.
There is a certain table that seems to be causing the problem.
The error:
"Failed to retrieve data from the database
Details: 42000:[informix][informix ODBC Driver][informix]A syntax error has occured .[Database Vendor Code:-201]".
I run the same query in MS Access and it seems to run fine.
I even tried to do a simple dump of the table onto Crystal but no luck.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
It seems your ODBC Driver is not compatible, try to download a driver which supports Informix through CR XI. I think you may have to download Data Direct Drivers 5.1 version to access Informix data tables through CR XI.
You can google it for Data Direct Drivers 5.1

Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: [Database Vendor .....

Hello,
I hope that is the right forum for this issue.
We have the application 'Lodestar' for some years.
The frond-end is ASP and the database is Oracle 9. Lodestar has its own backend language "Rules language". The crystal version is 10
Now we have a new version of Lodestar with ASP and ASP.NET, Oracle 11g and Crystal 11.
But when we run some reports with the new version we get the error "Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 1652 ] Failed to retrieve data from the database." When I google on this error then it seems that it has something todo with tablespace.
We have changed the tablespace volume from 32Gb to 100Gb, but we still get this error.
Has anybody an idea what the cause could be?

Thanks all for you're reaction.
Oke we have changed the temp space from 30 Gigs --> 200 Gigs, but still the problem occurs. To make the temp tablespace is not the good direction, this is what the dba'er told me.
I'm not a guru with SQL/Oracle, but what for me hard to understand is" why does it work with the old version and not with the new version anymore?
It is a very difficult view with unions (I'm not the developer of this view), and I think I'm gonna try to break-down this view in different small parts and try to find where it goes wrong. I don't see any other way to investigate this problem.
(I see now the reaction of upul indika.)

Hi Diptesh,
What is your crystal reports version ? CRXI or higher?
And does your filter bject consists of apostrophie s fields?
If this is the case then this is a known issue try installing the latest service packs or fix packs to see if it resolves the issue?

Crstal Reports: "Failed to retrieve data from the database"

Running a report in crystal report from SAP 8.81 using the following parameters: CardCode, GroupCode, Date gives the following error: "Failed to retrieve data from the database" "Conversion failed when to converting the nvarchar value to data type int 12/31/2005 [Database vendor code: 245] ".
The store procedure in SQL Server executes smoothly and If you run the report with the date = 12/31/2005 in the parameter also returns expected results.
Thanks.

Hello,
Is this in Business One? If so CR is an OEM build and that forum/product supports that version.
Please post your question to: http://forums.sdn.sap.com/index.jspa#44
It could simply be you need to use a formula to convert the field. Click on the Formula Editor and the hit the F1 key and search on "date". Lots of info on how to convert todate and from date tostring...
