Problem with Database Connections in the designer - Catalog not updated

This is Crystal Reports 2008 (12.2.0290). We have a number of reports that are viewed using the .Net runtime with the connection details set at runtime using ODBC to talk to SQL Server on different systems. This all works fine and is not the problem. The problem is when editing reports in the designer take the following example:
Developer 1 creates report on their machine that references tables. DSN Name is DEV_DSN, pointing at their local database on their machine called DEV_DB1. Developer 2 needs to edit the report on their machine with a DSN of the same name (DEV_DSN) but this points to a different database on developer 2's machine called DEV_DB2.
Developer 2 goes to the Set Datasource Location option in the Database menu to get it to point at their local DB only it doesn't work. They click on the first table included (or the connection name) in the report and click update - they are prompted for the logon details for their local DSN/DB and supply them but they see an error indicating that there is an "Invalid object name" because the table is still being prefixed with the database name from developer 1's machine. When the table is expanded in this view the Catalog still shows as the DB name from developer 1's machine despite the connection properties above correctly showing the local DB name.
As I say this is a design time issue not a runtime issue.
Any ideas? Is there any way we can edit the Catalog name manually?

Try setting the Over ridden qualified Table Name
Set Datasource - > Tablename -> Properties
Double click Over ridden qualified Table Name, type name as shown in in the table name field above it.
Repeat for each table, this removes schema and db names associated with Table. Take a look at the SQL and make sure all tables are no longer prefixed.
Report should now be totally portable.

Problem with database connectivity

Hi guys,
I'm having a problem with database connectivity . I'm using the mySQL database & org.gjt.mm.mysql driver.
I've kept the org folder under the directory where the Database.java program is residing .
My program is as follows:
import java.sql.*;
public class Database
     Connection con;
     public void connect()
          System.out.println("In connect.");
     public Connection connectDB(String username,String password,String database)
          try
               Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
               String url="jdbc:mysql:"+database;
               con=DriverManager.getConnection(url,username,password);
          catch(SQLException e)
               System.out.println("SQL Exception caught:"+e);
          catch(Exception e)
               System.out.println("Exception e caught:"+e);
          return con;
     public static void main(String args[])
          try
          Connection c;
          Database db=new Database();
          c=db.connectDB("root","","//192.168.0.2/squid");
          System.out.println("Connection created.");
          c.close();
          catch(Exception e)
               System.out.println("Exception caught:"+e);
It gets compiled but gives the following error when run.
Exception e caught:java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.gjt.mm.mysql.jdbc.Driver
Connection created.
Exception caught:java.lang.NullPointerException
I don't know why the class is not found.Pl . help me rectify my mistake.Is there any other path to be set?
Thanks.

You need to run it with the JDBC driver in the classpath
java -classpath .;[mySqlJdbcDriver.jar] Database

Problem with database connectivity toolkit

I have problem with Labview database connectivity toolkit. I build and deploy the real_web.vi (attached to the post) to the web server. It seems that the DB Tools Open Connect can not connect to the data base, and it issues the following error:
NI_Database_API.lvlib:DB Tools Open Connec (String).vi->real_web.vi->real_web.vi.ProxyCallerADO Error: 0x80004005 Exception occured in Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified in NI_Database_API.lvlib:DB Tools Open Connec (String).vi->real_web.vi->real_web.vi.ProxyCaller
But in highlight execution, I do not get this error! My program connects to the database and read the data. What is wrong ?
Moreover, when I connect to the vi using the web-browser, the cpu usage of ApplicationWebServer process goes up to 100% (The same problem as stated in this post).

Say what you will about the problems that the DCT can cause (and goodness knows I have) my suspicion is that this is not a toolkit ptoblem. When ever something only works with execution highlighting on, two words should immediately jump to mind: "race" "condition".
Execution highlighting will muck aound with the order in which things get done in your code. Can you post what your code looks like?

Processes 'stuck' after problems with database connection

First in the production environment, during database failover (MSSQL Server cluster), and later in testing, we encountered processes that are 'stuck' on some random operation. Admin console doesn't show stalled operation or branches, process is running, all operations are completed except last which was in several cases still in status Running, and in one case it was Completed but next operation was not started.
When operation is still running one would expect to select it and click 'Retry' in hope that process will continue but it seems there exist a bug in "Process Instance Detail" part of the admin console - it gives an error: "This operation cannot be completed without the selection of one or more operations from the list below!"
We can try using 'Terminate' for this operation and probably several that follow (because they would probably stall without data from first terminated operation) in hope that process which runs in big user loop can arrive at a step where it can recover from all this using existing data but it's messy and doesn't always work.
When the operation is in status Completed admin cannot do anything at all. This completed operation cannot be retried or terminated because selection box is grayed out. Process and data in it is irrecoverably lost and must be initiated from start.
I must say we had large problems before if database connection is lost even for few seconds (intentional fail over from one db node to another) - but now, when we filled check-connection-sql in datasource configuration Livecycle is behaving a lot better but still with above problems.
How can it happen that LC stops executing process workflow and stops on some operation just because it wasn't able to get valid db connection for several seconds? Is it some problem with transactions or what? What can I do? Where to look?
We are still on LC ES2 SP3. JBoss on Windows Server 2003 and MSSQL 2005.
Any help is appreciated.

I would suggest you to contact the Adobe support so they can look further in system as well as LC database.

Problems With MacBook Connecting to the Internet

This is quite an annoying little problem that I have. And apparently Tech Support can't help me and just said "good luck" and hung up on me. So here we go:
I purchased a new MacBook about two weeks ago and it won't connect to my wireless at home. I can plug it into our cable box via an ethernet cable, but otherwise it refuses to work. My old laptop will connect to the wireless... and even my sister's new MacBook (we got them at the exact same time and they are the exact same thing) will connect to our wireless. I'm using a Linksys wireless router, and I have had other friends access my family's wireless through their Apple computers as well. My Airport reads that I'm connected to the router, but it can't find an Internet signal. I'm not really sure what route I should be taking now. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I seem to be having the same exact issue. I took my Macbook over to my dad's house and I can not connect to the internet. The computer is connected to the router wirelessly, everything seems fine but it will not connect to the internet. My sister has the same exact Macbook, and her computer connects to the internet just fine. I run the Apple Internet Diagnostics and after running it, I get a message that says that my internet seems to be working fine. I also have a problem with my computer restarting when I shut the lid. Very very frustrating!

Problems with multiple connections in the same transaction

Hi all !
          I'm have two questions regarding the way weblogic handles multiple
          connections.
          1) first, I don't understand why weblogic always create a new Managed
          Connection when I'm asking for 2 connection handles on the same connection
          factory and with the same connectionRequestInfo. Isn't it supposed to share
          connections ?
          For instance, the following snippet of code results in the creation of 2
          managed connections:
          ConnHandle conn1 = myCF.getConnection(myRequInfo);
          ConnHandle conn2 = myCF.getConnection(myRequInfo);
          The class corresponding to myRequInfo does implement the equals and hash
          method, so that weblogic's connection manager could use them to check that
          the queried connections are the same, and thus could share a single
          ManagedConnection between multiple connection handles. Apparantly it does
          not do that...
          2) OK, I just let weblogic create the 2 managed connections, but... My use
          of the connections is as part of a transaction. Here is what happens:
          ConnHandle conn1 = myCF.getConnection(myRequInfo);
          // a new managedConn1 is instanciated. the following happens (just a
          description)
          // xar1 = managedConn1.getXAResource()
          // xar1.start(NOFLAGS)
          // I use the conn1 handle
          conn1.close();
          //xar1.end(SUSPEND)
          ConnHandle conn2 = myCF.getConnection(myRequiInfo);
          // a new managed connection managedConn2 is instanciated.
          // xar2 = managedConn2.getXAResource();
          // xar2.start(RESUME)
          // I use conn2 handle
          conn2.close();
          // xar2.end(SUSPEND);
          // my bean returns from the remote invocation
          // the client of the bean asks to commit (using UerTransaction.commit on the
          client side)
          // xar2.end(SUCCESS)
          // xar2.commit(onePhase=true);
          // managedConn2.cleanup();
          And that's all. So, as one can see, managedConn1.cleanup was never called.
          When looking in the weblogic console, I can see that I have one connection
          with 0 handle and one with 1 handle, deemed as still being in a transaction.
          So, the conenction manager apparantly loses a managed connection during the
          transaction. And it's very very bad because after a couple of transactions,
          I'm running out of managed connections (I had set a limit of 10).
          Any one has seen such a weird behavior ? Is this a problem on my side, or
          weblogic's ? Thanks for your help.

          I ran another test. This time I have a bean that makes use of a connector
          once per method invocation. The bean method invoked is "sayHello" and it
          gets a connection to the EIS, perform an operation on it and release it. The
          connector I developed uses XA transactions.
          My test client just calls 3 times myBean.sayHello().
          I can distinguish two cases:
          1) first, the client doesn't do transaction demarcation. In this case, since
          the sayHello method is marked as requiring transaction, the folowing happens
          in the bean:
          // **** first invocation of the bean
          connHandle = myCF.getConnection();
          // managedConn1 is instanciated
          // xar1 = managedConn1.getXAResource()
          // xar1.start(NOFLAGS);
          // managedConn1.getConnection gives a connection handle
          connHandle.doSomeWork();
          connHandle.close()
          // xar1.end(SUCCESS);
          // the bean returns from its invocation
          // xar1.commit(onePhase=true)
          // managedConn1.cleanup()
          // **** second invocation of the bean
          connHandle = myCF.getConnection();
          // managedConnectionFactory.matchManagedConnection is called. It returns the
          managed connection (managedConn1) that is in the passed set
          // xar1 = managedConn1.getXAResource()
          // xar1.start(NOFLAGS);
          // managedConn1.getConnection gives a connection handle
          connHandle.doSomeWork();
          connHandle.close
          // xar1.end(SUCCESS);
          // the bean returns from its invocation
          // xar1.commit(onePhase=true)
          // managedConn1.cleanup()
          // **** third invocation of the bean
          connHandle = myCF.getConnection();
          // managedConnectionFactory.matchManagedConnection is called. It returns the
          managed connection (managedConn1) that is in the passed set
          // xar1 = managedConn1.getXAResource()
          // xar1.start(NOFLAGS);
          // managedConn1.getConnection gives a connection handle
          connHandle.doSomeWork();
          connHandle.close
          // xar1.end(SUCCESS);
          // the bean returns from its invocation
          // xar1.commit(onePhase=true)
          // managedConn1.cleanup()
          2) second case : the client performs transaction demarcation. In that case,
          the connection manager instanciates 3 managed connections, calls start/end
          on each XAResource corresponding to each managed connection, calls commit
          once, but also calls cleanup only once, leaving 2 lost managed connections
          The client looks like this:
          UserTransaction utx = context.lookup("javax/transaction/UserTransaction");
          utx.begin();
          MyBean myBean = ctx.lookup(".......");
          myBean.sayHello();
          myBean.sayHello();
          myBean.sayHello();
          utx.commit();
          on the server the following happens:
          // **** first invocation of the bean
          connHandle = myCF.getConnection();
          // managedConn1 is instanciated
          // xar1 = managedConn1.getXAResource()
          // xar1.start(NOFLAGS);
          // managedConn1.getConnection gives a connection handle
          connHandle.doSomeWork();
          connHandle.close()
          // xar1.end(SUSPEND);
          // the bean returns from its invocation
          // **** second invocation of the bean
          connHandle = myCF.getConnection();
          // managedConn2 is instanciated
          // xar2 = managedConn2.getXAResource()
          // xar1.isSameRM(xar2) is called. returns true
          // xar2.start(RESUME);
          // managedConn2.getConnection gives a connection handle
          connHandle.doSomeWork();
          connHandle.close()
          // xar2.end(SUSPEND);
          // the bean returns from its invocation
          // **** third invocation of the bean
          connHandle = myCF.getConnection();
          // managedConn3 is instanciated
          // xar3 = managedConn3.getXAResource()
          // xar2.isSameRM(xar3) is called. returns true
          // xar3.start(RESUME);
          // managedConn3.getConnection gives a connection handle
          connHandle.doSomeWork();
          connHandle.close()
          // xar3.end(SUSPEND);
          // the bean returns from its invocation
          // the client invokes commit on the UserTransaction
          // xar3.end(SUCCESS);
          // xar3.commit(onephase = true);
          // managedConn3.cleanup();
          And so, managedConn1 and managedConn2 got lost in the way...
          What's more puzzling, it's that when monitoring my connector with the
          console, I can see that there are 3 connections. 2 declared as still having
          one handle used and being in transaction, and one not in transaction and
          with 0 active handle. BUT when monitoring the JTA part of the server, I can
          see that there has been 1 transaction that committed, and no connection is
          "in flight" as the console says. So, on one side the console says 2 managed
          connections are still part of a transaction while on the other it says that
          no transactions are currently in flight.
          Thanks for any kind of help on this very bizarre behavior.

Problem with database connection in Jdev 11

Hello,
my jdev version is 11 and i want do really simple task create new database connection to my oracle db.
I open database navigator and click new connection. i want jdbc connection but after i fill this form i pressed test connection button and get this error msg:
Test failed: 4
i think i have correct information but i tried this, i opened my older jdev 10 and copy jdbc url from my old db connection.
In jdev 11 i checked Enter Custom JDBS Url and pasted url from jdev 10 and i get:
Test failed: 4
What is wrong?
Thanks for your advice.
J.

I add new information:
i cant connect to oracle db 8, but i try another db in my company which is 10 and its working fine.
I write java class and try connect to db 8 via jdbc manually:
String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@SERVER:1525:SID";
String user = "user1";
String password = "aaa";
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
// DriverManager.registerDriver (new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, password);
and i get this:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 4

Can any body identify my problem with database connection?

My connection statement looks like this
Class.forName(sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver);
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:ram");
Iam using jdk1.3 and oracle 9i client edition.
The exception is .......
java.sql.sqlexception: No suitable driver.
The interesting thing is, with the same above connection statement , i am able to connect my core java program with oracle. But not with J2ee application.
Can anybody resolve my prob?

Every time I try and update my iphone 4 to ios 7.1 in iTunes 11.1.5 it says "connection reset" even when there is no problem with my connection

I have an iPhone 4. I use iTunes 11.1.5 on my Mac. I am trying to update to ios 7.1 through iTunes, but every time I do that, I get a "connection reset" error, even when I know there has been no problem with my connection.
The exact error message is as follows:
"There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone "Anne's iPhone". The network connection was reset.
Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later."
I have checked several times. There is no problem with the connection, and I have tried to download the software several times today.
Any help you can give me would be appreciated.

Just managed to successfully download the update, having retried five or six times. I did unplug my phone while the download was taking place (had asked iTunes to download only, not to update) -- suspect this had no bearing on it whatsoever, and that persistence is the only way here.

Oh no! Lets ensure that you are connected. Have you tried to reset the Network Extender? Are other devices able to connect to the Extender? Is your Internet service up and running?

There is a problem with this connection's security certificate The remote computer cannot be authenticated due to problems with its security certificate. Security certificate problems might indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send

Hi,
I have this Windows 2008 R2 on which I installed remoteapp some years ago.
Now the certificate expired and I get the message
"There is a problem with this connection's security certificate
The remote computer cannot be authenticated due to problems with its security certificate.
Security certificate problems might indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the remote computer."
How should I renew the certificate? I already went to certification store and tried to renew certificate with same key but then it says "the request contains nor certificate template information".
Please advise.

Does the computer account have Enroll permission to the certificate template?
From the Server running your CA, run mmc, click File then Add/Remove Snap-in...
Add Certificate Templates and click OK.
Find the certificate template, then right click and select properties. On my CA its call ed RemoteDesktopComputers but might be called something different depending on what what template your certificate is based on.
On the security tab, click Oblect types, check Computers then OK. Enter the Computername and click OK. Then give your computer account Enroll permisssion.

WIFI stopped working after I woke the computer up, now says connected to the network but not the internet, all other coputers and devices connected still with no problems, have pinged IP address from router and got the message "4 packets sent none received"... Help
I have tried network diagnostics which doesnt help... The only other ting is, when I woke the computer up it said tat another device was using my IP... My wife had plugged her phone into the computer to charge etc but even when i turn wifi off on the phone there is no change... also in settings on the phone the IP address is different...

The answer to your question is - neither!
Your PC should to configured to obtain an IP address automatically, and to obtain DNS server IP addresses automatically, from the Airport Express. This is the way Windows (and Macs for that matter) are configued by default, and that is the way most people have their computers set up. If you manually configured your PC's IP address to be the same as your wife's Mac, it certainly explains why your PC is not able to access the internet.
