Ports Crystal Reports uses when Connecting to a Universe as a Data Source

I have a couple of Crystal Reports that use universes as a data source. On my Windows 7 machine I am getting an error message that "Logon Failed", rather opening and running the same report on my Windows XP machine, I get the results from the universe as expected. I have tried multiple universes that report against different databases (Oracle, SQL Server, Sybase, etc) and I am getting the same vague error message on my Windows 7 machine with Crystal Reports 12.3.0.601.
Can someone please tell me what ports are being used within Crystal Reports (other than 6400) when connecting to the CMS and pulling back data from a universe? The odd thing, is that I can connect to the CMS, see the universes that I have permissions too and even see the objects within the universe, but I cannot view the results. This is a pretty high priority for us, so I would appreciate any feedback possible.

Hello,
"Seems contrary to the concept of isolating users (in this case designers) from connection details. I can only be hopeful that report users will not also have to have connections configured on the local workstations to view these reports ;-)"
As long as you use/set Saved Data with the reports then they don't need the client installed. If they hit Refresh to update the data then obviously they need to be able to connect to the data source, how else are they going to get it.
Think about it, you sit down to write a report off of a database you don't have access to? How are you going to create a report....
If you planning on sending out reports for viewing only then export them to PDF or some other type, then DB connections are not an issue, the PDF's are for viewing only.
Another concept is DB Security. Using NT Authentication or DB Authentication unless that user hitting the refresh button has access to the DB it won't prompt for log on info or if they don't provide the correct log on info they can't see new data.
It's all about security, CR does not save the Password in the RPT file, if we did anyone could get it and hack your database.
Not sure what your post has to do with Ports?
If you have questions then please post, in this forum we assume post that are answered are closed.

Crystal Report using a Web Service as a data source?

I am trying to figure out how to use a Web Service as a data source in Crystal Reports. When I use the report wizard, I do not see an option to select Web Service as a new connection. We are currently using Crystal Reports 2008 v12.1.0.892. Could it be that my version does not support this? Is there an update that contains this feature? Please help.

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately I do not see a radio button for Web Services. I've read that it should be there too. Could it be a missing plug-in or patch?
Here are screen shots of what I see when trying to connect to an XML. Any thoughts?

Creating a crystal report using excel

I have an excel spreadsheet that I would like to access to create a crystal reports. But it seems that I have to first save it as an access or other database file. But this information changes frequently so I it would be more efficient to access the excel file directly. I tried using the crystal wizard addin in excel, but then when I run the report I get the error message "Server has not yet been opened". Any other ideas on how to create report of excel data directly?

Hello Guys ,
I have something similar problem ,but not exactly.
our requirement is We are scheduling one crystal report to generate excel and sent to FTP location.This Excel file (in FTP) should be the input of new Crystal Report using ODBC (RDO) connection.
I am able to create the ODBC connection,but that ODBC connection is not showing me the selected excel sheet in the Crystal Report ODBC Connection.I tried with Remote as well as local drive Excel also.
I tried on different machine (thought ,it could be Driver specific),but all machines does have same issue.
Is there any settings or driver upgrades require for CR XI R2 /2008 in order to use ODBC (RDO) for EXCEL FILES.I didnt find any comments /resolution in Google too.
My steps -
1) Create a sample Excel file - only few records
2) Created a System ODBC connection pointing this excel file say "TEST1"
3) Opened A Blank Crystal Report
4) Create a New connection
5) Select ODBC RDO
6) Create new connection and selected the newly created SYSTEM DSN "TEST1"
7) check the selected excel is displayed in ODBC RDO connection??
If it is a Crystal Report issue or ODBC Driver issue ,please let me know if anyone have came across similar issues.
thanks in advance.

How do you reference a Formular Object on a Crystal Report using Java

Hi all,
I am trying to reference an object on my report which contains a Formula field.
I have read the following 2 threads, but they refer to textObjects:
[How do you reference a textObject on a Crystal report using Java|Re: How do you reference a textObject on a Crystal report using Java?]
[Changing the text of ITextObject programatically|Re: Changing the text of ITextObject programatically]
But I cannot even get those to work. I can reference a object which refers to a database field but as soon as I try
reference a textObject or reportObject I just get a NULL variable.
Below is the code I am useing
IReportObject dbField = reportClientDocument.getReportDefController().findObjectByName("BOB1");
IReportObject textBob = reportClientDocument.getReportDefController().findObjectByName("BOB2");
"BOB1" is the name of my DB field Object, and "BOB2" can be a Text box or a Formula item and I just get nothing.
I have just tested it with a FieldHeadingObject and that returns a valid object, so clearly I am going about this the wrong way
for objects I place on the reports which are not driven by the database items.
Ultimately what I want to do is reference an object in the Report Footer which will contain the RecordCount of the number of
records contained in the report, which I am them going to use to determine if the report holds data,
if it does I will print it, else ignore it and move on the the next report. I am doing this so that I can at an extra filter to split
a report up into groups and produce a sinlge PDF for each group instead of one massive PDF containing all the groups.
So if someone has a solution to any of my problems I would be very greatful, and I dont mind being told Im an idiot and should
rather do it another way, as long as you supply that other way
Thanks for the help
Darren

Forgot to add am using CR4Ev2 SP3

Right I have made some headway.
Firstly, Im an idiot. I was making changes and setting up test fields on my report, but then when running the app, I had it looking at
the backup report, which would explain why all the new textbox fields were not being found.
The stupiditity did force me to delve deep and work out a fair bit of how the reports work, so cant complain too much. BUT, I am still
not able to return values of Formula fields and formulas extra. Could someone tell me if this is even possible. I get retrieve the formula field
name, and properties but not its value once the report has been populated. Am I wasting my time?
Well I will continue dismantling my reports till I find the answer, or someone points me in the right direction.
If any one is interested this is the code I used to drill down to my text boxes:
IReportObject recCount = reportClientDocument.getReportDefController().findObjectByName("TB1");
ITextObject obj_RecCount = (ITextObject) recCount;
System.out.println(obj_RecCount.getName());
Paragraphs objP = obj_RecCount.getParagraphs();
for (int i = 0; i < objP.size(); i++){
     ParagraphElements pE = objP.getParagraph(i).getParagraphElements();
     for (int j = 0;j < pE.size(); j++){
          IParagraphTextElement pEE = (ParagraphTextElement) pE.getParagraphElement(j);
          System.out.println(pEE.getText());

Crystal reports using xml at run time??

Post Author: avnkkishore
CA Forum: General
Hi,
I have very simple requirement.
I would like to create a crystal
report using XML. This
XML file will be decided at run time
(not at design time).
Hence i have added a crystal report viewer control to my windows form and did
not choose any data source (i left it blank currently). Now i am trying to load
XML file with the following simple code.
            PropertyBag
crLogOnDetails = new PropertyBag();
crLogOnDetails["Local XML File"] = @"C:\Hosts.xml";
crLogOnDetails["Local Schema File"] = @"C:\Hosts.xsd";
ConnectionInfo conn = new ConnectionInfo();
conn.Attributes = crLogOnDetails;
            // create
"Host" table
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table tbl;
            tbl = new
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table();
            tbl.Name =
"Host";
tbl.ConnectionInfo = conn;
rcDoc.DatabaseController.AddTable(tbl, null);
I am getting exception exactly at the above line (i.e. when adding table to
Database Controller) saying "COMException was unhandled" with error code
0x80004005 Unspecified error.
Can any one please help me regarding how to resolve this.
Thanks in advance,

I am using VB6 as the front end and Microsoft Access to hold the data and Crystal Reports 8.5. I have a staff name parameter that I want the user to select which staff name to print the report. If there is
a new staff the name is not in the list of parameters.  How do I add to the parameter list at run time from the staff table?

Crystal Reports - Oracle server connection

Hi Guys,
I'm back to struggling with Crystal Reports XI Release 2.
I'm trying to display a report that retrieves a set of data from an oracle database.
I've got the following scenarios:
- If I build a report using a JDBC connection and setting its properties from the crystal reports designer It works perfectly
- If i build the same report using a connection type called Oracle Server and check the option SAVE DATA WITH REPORT works fine
- The failure scenario is, creating the same report by using an Oracle server connection and disabling the SAVE DATA WITH REPORT option. I get the error message: Database logon failed. Database Vendor Error Code: 17002
I've set a JDNI datasource in Tomcat already, and still getting the same error, as well as including this tag in my application web.xml
<resource-ref>
<description>Oracle Datasource example</description>
<res-ref-name>oraclevt</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
Please, let me know if you have any hint regarding this issue as I've run out of ideas to sort it out.
Thank you.
Esteban.

Hey evnafets how r u doing? Thanks very much for your reply.
I checked the TNSName and looks fine, and it does match the JNDI name I created through the Tomcat Administration Tool.
I tested the JNDI connection a couple of days ago and it didn't come through, it keeps giving me an error, even though I've verified everything is properly set and configured. The error message is:
org.apache.commons.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot create JDBC driver of class '' for connect URL 'null'
This is the snipped code, si quite simple actually.
System.out.println("Starting initial context");
               Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
               Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
               DataSource ds = (DataSource)
               envCtx.lookup("jdbc/OFIC09FL");
               Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
               //... use this connection to access the database ...
               conn.close();
I've googled this issue and have not found a helpful solution. I guess this all the Crystal connection issue, don't you think? Any hints to make the jsp-jndi test work?
Regards,
Esteban.

Crystal Reports using Visual Studio

I am becoming more comfortable with working with Crystal Reports using Visual Studio. I ran into some issues, but I was able to figure them out. I have ran into one which I am not able to figure out. I would like for you to ask Business Objects if they can assist me on this one. When the reports are displayed, a group tree is displayed to the left of the report making it possible for users to navigate through the reports. As you continue to click down through a branch, eventually you are not able to see what to click on or to click on the next link. What could be done to fix this issue?

Hi,
Have you checked the crystal report in designer mode? If not, try doing it.
Further, you can provide following:
1)Windows or Web Application?
2) Version of Crystal Reports?
3) Version of Visual Studio?
4) OS (32 bit or 64 bit)?
Thanks,
Saurabh

Executing Crystal Report using BI Query as datasource in Bobj portal

I have a Crystal report using BI query as the datasource. The BI query contains User Entry variables.
The Crystal report executes as expected except when added to the Bobj portal. From the portal, I can schedule the report and it will execute as correctly. However, if I try to execute without scheduling, I am able to enter the BI restrictions, but then am presented the following error message: "An error has occurred: For input string: "" ".
If I remove all the BI variables from the query, the report will execute from the portal with out scheduling.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
You can set your parameters from CMC. Select the report and set parameters in to the report properties.

before calling the function make a XML by using dataset.writexml, in which you have to pass the name of your stored procedure.
for this you have to decalre commantype as stored procedure.

Hi,
I want to create dynamic crystal report using below mention xml file.
Example:--
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root xmlns:inl="http://inline">
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="http://inline" xmlns="http://inline" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
<xs:element name="Person">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="First_Name" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="Last_Name" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
<inl:Person>
<inl:First_Name>Anna</inl:First_Name>
<inl:Last_Name>Ant</inl:Last_Name>
</inl:Person>
<inl:Person>
<inl:First_Name>Betty</inl:First_Name>
<inl:Last_Name>Boop</inl:Last_Name>
</inl:Person>
</root>
Crystal report column will be generated using this xml file.
my report look like--
First Name Last Name
Anna Ant
Betty Boop
Thanks
Praveen

can you please be more detailed on what you mean automatically
like put the xml file together and have the report generated without actually attaching the dataset to the rpt file and placing the fields in the report?
if that is the case i dont believe crystal functions that way, been working with it for many years. i know you can create webi files through business objects where an end user can talk an dataset and build there own queries and rpt files on a dashboard type screen.

If I understood your question correctly.
Have a look in the link above.
It is possible to use Crystal Reports from ALV.
Tammy Powlas also has some good guides on how to do this.
The ABAP however is not covered that much.
Best Regards
Ingrid
