Problem Importing Data from Raiser's Edge into Crystal Reports

This is likely going to be a very simple one for the expert community. I am a novice Crystal Reports user. We received our license for the app bundled with the Raiser's Edge donation tracking software.
In previous versions of Crystal, when importing data from a Raiser's Edge export, the default method of data linking was a Left Outer Join.
However, for the latest version, it appears this has defaulted to using an Inner Join, which does not display data the way we'd like it to in our reports.
The fix we use right now (supported by Raiser's Edge support team) is simply to go in and manually adjust all of the reports table links. This can be time-consuming, however.
I would like to know if there is a way to get Crystal to import, by default, using something other than an Inner Join. Simply using the Add Command when importing the data isn't an ideal option as building a custom SQL query each time is about as time-consuming as manually changing each of the links via the Crystal GUI. (part of the reason this would be so time-consuming is that the Raiser's Edge database tables aren't intended to be directly interacted with by the end-user, so getting the information on what table names would be in play is a bit of a process).
The version of Crystal we are running is: 11.0.0.1282, Crystal Standard.
Please let me know if I've left off any vital information needed to help with this query. I'll do my best to fill in any gaps I may have left here.

Hi Michael,
Raiser's Edge db is not ideally supported with Crystal Reports.However, what you may try as of now,is to upgrade the application to release 2 and then check for the results.
Following is the link:
http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/service_packs/crystal_reports_en.asp#CRXIR2
Please choose the  "Service Pack 2 - Full build - ZIP - 1.03 GB - released April 2007" hyperlink.
The same keycode will work for this version also.
Thanks

  • SSIS 2012 is intermittently failing with below "Invalid date format" while importing data from a source table into a Destination table with same exact schema.

    We migrated Packages from SSIS 2008 to 2012. The Package is working fine in all the environments except in one of our environment.
    SSIS 2012 is intermittently failing with below error while importing data from a source table into a Destination table with same exact schema.

    End Error
    But when we reorder the column in "Updated" in Destination table, the package is importing data successfully.
    This looks like bug to me, Any suggestion?

    Hi Mohideen,
    Based on my research, the issue might be related to one of the following factors:
    Memory pressure. Check there is a memory challenge when the issue occurs. In addition, if the package runs in 32-bit runtime on the specific server, use the 64-bit runtime instead.
    A known issue with SQL Native Client. As a workaround, use .NET data provider instead of SNAC.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to import data from a text file into a table

    Hello,
    I need help with importing data from a .csv file with comma delimiter into a table.
    I've been struggling to figure out how to use the "Import from Files" wizard in Oracle 10g web-base Enterprise Manager.
    I have not been able to find a simple instruction on how to use the Wizard.
    I have looked at the Oracle Database Utilities - Overview of Oracle Data Pump and the Help on the "Import: Files" page.
    Neither one gave me enough instruction to be able to do the import successfully.
    Using the "Import from file" wizard, I created a Directory Object using the Create Directory Object button. I Copied the file from which i needed to import the data into the Operating System Directory i had defined in the Create Directory Object page. I chose "Entire files" for the Import type.
    Step 1 of 4 is the "Import:Re-Mapping" page, I have no idea what i need to do on this page. All i know i am not tying to import data that was in one schema into a different schema and I am not importing data that was in one tablespace into a different tablespace and i am not R-Mapping datafiles either. I am importing data from a csv file.
    For step 2 of 4, "Import:Options" page, I selected the same directory object i had created.
    For step 3 of 4, I entered a job name and a description and selected Start Immediately option.
    What i noticed going through the wizard, the wizard never asked into which table do i want to import the data.
    I submitted the job and I got ORA-31619 invalid dump file error.
    I was sure that the wizard was going to fail when it never asked me into which table do i want to import the data.
    I tried to use the "imp" utility in command-line window.
    After I entered (imp), i was prompted for the username and the password and then the buffer size as soon as i entered the min buffer size I got the following error and the import was terminated:
    C:\>imp
    Import: Release 10.1.0.2.0 - Production on Fri Jul 9 12:56:11 2004

    Please show me the easiest way to import a text file into a table. How complex could it be to do a simple import into a table using a text file?
    We are testing our application against both an Oracle database and a MSSQLServer 2000 database.
    I was able to import the data into a table in MSSQLServer database and I can say that anybody with no experience could easily do an export/import in MSSQLServer 2000.
    I appreciate if someone could show me how to the import from a file into a table!
    Thanks,
    Mitra

  • How to do import data from the text file into the mathscript window?

    Could anyone tell me how to do import data from text file into mathscript window for labview 8?
    MathScript Window openned, File, Load Data - it has options: custom pattern (*.mlv) or all files. 
    Thanks

    Hi Milan,
    Prior to loading data in Mathscript Window , you have to save the data from the Mathscript window (the default extension of the file is .mlv but you can choose any extension). This means that you cannot load data from a text file  that was not created using the Mathscript window.
    Please let me know if you have any further questions regarding this issue.

  • How can I import data from a csv file into databse using utl_file?

    Hi,
    I have two machines (os is windows and database is oracle 10g) that are not connected to each other and both are having the same database schema but data is all different.
    Now on one machine, I want to take dump of all the tables into csv files. e.g. if my table name is test then the exported file is test.csv and if the table name is sample then csv file name is sample.csv and so on.
    Now I want to import the data from these csv files into the tables on second machine. if I've 50 such csv files, then data should be written to 50 tables.
    I am new to this. Could anyone please let me know how can I import data back into tables. i can't use sqlloader as I've to satisfy a few conditions while loading the data into tables. I am stuck and not able to proceed.
    Please let me know how can I do this.
    Thanks,

  • Office 2004 for Mac:: Problems Importing Data from Windows

    I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this but:
    I am switching from Windows and Outlook 2003 and trying to move my data from Outlook into Entourage. I was somewhat successful using O2M to import my Contacts and E-Mail.j However O2M created a bunch of .ics files that I can’t seem to get into Entourage’s calendar.
    I also have a lot of Outlook Notes and Tasks that I can’t seem to import or drag into Entourage’s Notes and Task windows.
    Any suggestions? I didn’t think it would be so hard. You would think that Microsoft as the vendor of both programs would have provided a smoother method of moving data between their programs.
    Thanks
    Ben

    Thanks for the response. I will check the site that you reference.
    Just out of curiousity--why is this not a good place to ask this question? As a new user to the Apple/Mac community am I relegated to asking questions only about Apple hardware and software written only by Apple? One of the enticements for switching over to Apple from Windows, besides getting tired of having to be a technical wizard, were all the platitudes about how easy it is to switch. Well it isn't all that easy.
    Don't get me wrong, I am loving my new MacBook Pro and I imagine once I get my Outlook data over to the Mac I will be really happy. But given that all my email, notes, tasks, calendar and contacts for years have been on my Windows machine I would have liked a little less hair pulling trying to get it over to my mac. It has not been clean and it hasn't been easy [over a week now].
    Somehow I thought "Well I'm probably not the first person to be taking this route and where would I find the largest number of people who may have already gone before me and could offer directions/suggestions." I did do my research and based on the number of postings concluded that Office2004 for Mac was the best choice if I was using Outlook on Windows and needed to continue to use Word/Excel/Powerpoint with the rest of the business world. And it did appear from all the postings that a lot of people use this package.
    Again, this is not meant to come off harsh, but it is a little off-putting to be told "This isn't the appropriate place for this question"
    Thanks

    I am with Chris on this one.
    If those headers are repeating in your text file, you could run a simple script to cleanse the data first and make the file fit for SQL*Loader.
    Here's an example with Perl, I hope the header of Page 2 and onwards resembles what you have in your file. I've snipped some data from the far right so that it fits on my terminal screen:
    $
    $ # show the contents of the data file
    $
    $ cat report.dat

    $ You could do an inline substitution with Perl, or redirect it to a temp file and then move back to the original file. In either case, you have just the relevant data for the next step.
    Again, Perl is just one option. On Unix/Linux systems, you have a large number of utilities/scripting languages that can perform almost any kind of data transformation.

  • Can you import data from a Word bookmark into LabVIEW?

    I have been able to insert data into a Word document bookmark with the Report Generation Toolkit with LabVIEW 8.2.1. Is it possible to retrieve data from a Word document bookmark, and if so, how is it done?

    Fortunately Yes !
    Unfortunately, the NI report tools have not been developped to retrieve data from existing documents.
    So you'll have to develop your own tools, using ActiveX properties and methods if you have to work with not-so-simple documents.
    Just to help you start something, here is a simple way to read some text from a .doc file.

  • Move data from web page to a crystal report

    I am using Crystal Reports 10 and Dreamweaver to create an asp page.  I would like to know how to access a crystal report from the asp page and pass the data that is on the asp page to the crystal report.  Is this possible?

    <p>There is also a very specific sample found on the Diamond site that was originally written by some one in support that should be very useful.</p><p><a href="/node/494">http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/494</a></p><p>This sample takes an ADO recordset and passes it to a report at runtime. The sample also displays the report in an ASP page. The only change you would need to make is to populate ADO recordset with data from the web form. Sorry I don&#39;t have a sample to do that. <br /></p><p>Rob Horne</p>

  • Problem importing video from a DV camera into the new imovie 10.0?  I have a Sony DCR TRV17 connected via Firewire port that worked in 9.0.9 but not under 10.0...

    I have a Sony DCR TRV17 that I used to pass through VCR tape video via Firewire port to my Mac Pro under Imovie 9.0.9 without an issue.   Now under Imovie 10.0 the video shows in the import window, I can start recording yet when I stop recording the recorded clips do not show up anywhere.  The movie file I'm creating still indicates that I still need to import video.   Anyone having similar problems?

    Hey Dave,
    I had this issue only once before but was lucky enought to find it was a specific event causing the import to freeze. It took me some time to isolate the problem though. I would recommend letting it sit there for some time before you try any troubleshooting. Larger libraries can take long periods of time to update.
    This is a good thread for this issue.  I would first try removing the iMovie.plist as elikness mentions.
    1. Open Finder
    2. Click on "Go" in the menu bar.
    3. Click on Go To Folder on the dropdown menu.
    4. Type "~/Library/Preferences/" in the text field and click Go.
    5. Find the com.apple.iMovie(some number).plist file and move it to Trash.
    Quit and relaunch iMovie to see if this took care of the issue before attempting the next step. If you're still having an issue then you can try what I needed to do which is isolating the problem event.
    1. Open Finder.
    2. Go to the Movies folder. You should see iMovie Events here.
    If you have a larger event library I'd recommend renaming the iMovie Events folder to say, "iMovie Events COPY". Then create a new empty folder named “iMovie Events”. When you launch iMovie 9.0.9 all events will be missing at this point. Quit iMovie if it is open. Then you can either drag each event from iMovie Events COPY to iMovie Events or you can select and drag several at a time. Each time you drag an event folder back into the new iMovie Events folder launch iMovie 9.0.9 to see if you are having the same issue. Wash and repeat until either you have found the problem event or you have imported all events.
    If you find the problem event you can reimport the clip from iMovie 9.0.9 by going to File > Import > Movies and navigating to that events iMovie Original Movies folder to find the clip.
    Hope this helps!

  • Problems importing email from Snow Leopard Mail into Lion Mail

    I've recently moved from a MacBook Pro 1,1 running Snow Leopard to a new MacBook Pro running Lion.  I had the folks at the Apple Store do the set up - they migrated everything from my old to my new.
    Everything is where it should be and most everything works, except Mail. 
    I have about 90 GB (yes, I know) of stuff in the Mail folder and every time I try to import the old emails into Lion Mail the process stalls out.  And when I try to restart I have twice as many emails and I lose 10+ GB of hard drive space. I've gone from having 110GB available to 50 GB in two days and I still don't have access to my old emails.
    I've deleted the envelope files, the smart mailbox files, deleted old attachment files and other cruft still floating around the Mail folder but my last attempt at importing stalled out and quit after getting halfway through.
    Any suggestions or ideas?  Help!

    Thanks.... I actually managed to find nearly 70 GB of attachements and trashed emails which apparently Apple Mail still keeps in the Mail folder.  I'm trimming now and I'll try another import this evening. In related news, my system is working much much faster now. 

  • I'm having a problem importing AVCHD from Sony HDR-SR1 (into FCP)

    I've gone through all of the posts, on this site, but I can't seem to find a solution.
    I have one of the new Intel based mac pro boxes
    The files are in a .mt2s format and they are currently sitting on my hard disk.
    - I can't import from the camera, directly, because it doesn't support firewire
    - FCP and iMovie both grey out files, with this extension, when trying to import them (as does MPEG Streamclip)
    - The log and transfer utility also shows the files greyed out (and nothing happens if I try to drag and drop them onto the utility)
    any assistance would be appreciated
    Thanks in advance
    John

    My understanding was that you have to maintain the directory structure from the AVCHD source. Is the HDR-SR1 a supported camera?

    I have no idea what "Oracle Hetrogenius Services" is, so I can't help you with that, sorry.
    SQL Developer might also assist you. SQL Developer can connect to SQL Server as well as Oracle and has some tools for migration. See the documentation for details:
