Report Conversion - Access to SQL

How do I convert crystal reports written for Access to work with SQL?

I have successfully converted most reports to connect to the SQL database.
I have a problem with the prompt screen in one report. The data prompt screen will appear in Crystal, but will not appear when selecting that report in my application. Instead the report populates with the last saved data in Crystal.
is this a report problem or a problem with the viewer in my application?
Thanks
Luke

Report cannot access pl/sql table variable defined in Package Spec.

Hi,
I've created a package spec called pkg_report with a PL/SQL table variable defined called body_text_table. When I tried to compile the following code under the Before Report trigger:
:desc := pkg_report.body_text_table(1);
Oracle gave me the following error:
Implementation Restriction: 'PKG_REPORT.BODY_TEXT_TABLE': Cannot directly access remote package variable or cursor.
Does anyone have any idea about this error? Thank you for your time at looking at it.
Regards,
John

You cannot directly access the package variable in a database package. The work around is to create a set_variable and get_variable wrapper function in the package body. See Metalink note 105838.1 for more info.
A simple example:
create or replace package my_package as
my_var     number;
function   get_variable return number ;
procedure set_variable (p_value in number) ;
end ;
create or replace package body my_package as
function get_variable return number is
begin
    return my_var;
end ;
procedure set_variable(p_value in number) is
begin
    my_var := p_value ;
end ;
end;

Criystal Report XI で ACCESSを介したリンクテーブルでSQL Serverに接続できません

Crystal Report XIの製品バージョン :11.0.0.1282
以前にMicrosoft Access 2000のDBファイルにアクセスしていた接続先を
テーブル構成はそのままでSQL Server(実際にはMSDE2000A)に変更したいと思っているのですが、
エラーが発生し接続できません。
変更方法はツールバーから「データベースファイル」-「データソースの保存場所の設定」で行っています。
AccessのファイルにSQL Serverに接続されたリンクテーブルを用いた環境が、
こちらとしては望ましいので、以下の接続を試みましたが、エラーになってしまいました。
・「データベースファイル」からテーブル名と同じ名前のリンクテーブルが貼られたAccessファイルを
指定して接続する。
・OLE DB (ADO)のMicrosoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Serverを使って接続する。
・OLE DB (ADO)を使ってudlファイルを介して接続する。
【エラー内容】
「問題が発生したため、crw32.exe を終了します。ご不便をおかけして申し訳ありません。」
というWindowsエラーが発生し、アプリケーションエラーでクリスタルレポートファイルが落ちます。
環境に問題があるのか、設定に問題があるのかわかりません。
ご存じの方いらっしゃいますでしょうか？
よろしくお願いいたします。

ご指摘ありがとうございます。
理解しづらい内容で申し訳ありませんでした。
>今までは、MDB に接続して利用していた？
>これからは、SQL Server に接続して利用したい？
ご指摘の通り、今までACCESSのDBを利用していて、
今後SQL Serverに接続して利用したいと考えております。
>リンクテーブルって何？
リンクテーブルとは、ACCESSの機能で、他のDBにアクセスするために利用する機能です。
>MDB ファイルにリンクテーブルが存在し、その先がSQL Server っていうこと・・
その通りです。

Report Conversion Tool - problem with logging in table OBJ_G_MIGRATION

Hello Community-Members,
since several days I am searching different BO-Communities for a solution, but I didn't find any threats about my problem.
I am new to BO XI R3.1 and I want to convert deski-reports with the report conversion tool.
I tried it directly on the server-machine and all is ok (report is converted inclusive the logging in the audit-table OBJ_G_MIGRATION).
When I try it on my client-machine, the conversion is made successfully, but there is no result in the audit-table.
On the client-machine, I use the same connection like on the server machine and on both machines, I am logged on (in the report conversion tool) with the "Administrator"-user.
Has anyone an idea? Could it be a problem of user-rights in the Oracle-DB?
kind regards
Guenny

Hello Denis,
thank you for your reply.
From my client machine I can successfully test the connection to the Audit-DB. With non BO-Tools like "SQL Tools1.4.1" I can also connect to that DB.
After your reply I have tested once again and I have found something else strange.
If I convert a deski-report, and the conversion-status is "not converted", the Audit-DB is written (for example: error-text = "document cannot be read" / workaround = "remove protection password if set").
But when I convert the same report together with an other report, which will result in "partially converted", nothing is written to the Audit-DB (same effect as when I convert only reports with status "partially convertet").
regards
Guenny

MS Access querying SQL Server: How to configure Network ACL?

I need to set up a highly restrictive ACL for access to a particular SQL server in our network. This ACL will reside on our core switch at the "front door" of our network and permit access to the SQL server only using the ports that
are necessary. The purpose is to A) Try to keep unauthorized users from gaining access to the host server and B) Should someone somehow gain unauthorized access to the host server. keep them from being able to "hop off" to other PC's on
the network.
The server will be accessed by clients using MS Access to query the SQL database and bring back reports. A few admins are actually able to make minor changes to the database such as updating a user list or location list. In other words, both
read and write access is needed to the SQL database.
I know that the default SQL server port is 1433, but according to a Microsoft Support article I read, "client ports are assigned a random value between 1024 and 5000".
I was really hoping I could just put something like "permit PC1 access to SQL Server on Port 1433" in my ACL, but after reading the MS Support article it sounds like I've got to allow almost 4,000 ports through?
Could someone help demystify this for me so I can build the right ACL?

The tool to use is SQL Server Configuration Management.
But what you can configure is which port SQL Server listens to. Which port the client listens to is not controllable as far as I know. But that can of course be many, since a client can have many connections to SQL Server. (And the range is not
restricted to 1024-5000. I connected over TCP locally, and I see this with netstat -a
TCP 127.0.0.1:6621 NATSUMORI:ms-sql-s ESTABLISHED
Then again, I don't see why you would have to open any ports for the clients at all. I have never heard of this being a problem.

Issue while accessing a SQL Server table over OTG

Hi,
I have been learning oracle for about 1.5 years and am just starting to learn some OTG pieces. I am wondering about an issue. The issue is:
"We need help with an issue we are having while accessing a SQL Server table over OTG. We are getting the following error message in Oracle :
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[Oracle][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Unicode conversion failed {HY000}
The column it is failing on is "-----------" in the view --------------- in the SQL Server database pointed to by the Oracle DB Link ------------------- thats created in the Oracle instances ---- and -----.
This was working before, but is now failing, we suspect its due to new multi-byte data being added to the base table in the above column."
I took out the details and added ---- instead. I am wondering your guys thoughts on fixing this issue and helping me learn along the way. Thanks

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the response, here are the details:
1. What is the character set of the Oracle RDBMS being used. What is returned by -
select * from nls_database_parameters;
NLS_CHARACTERSET
AL32UTF8
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET
UTF8
We get SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_C1_AS and 1252 as Collation Property and Code Page
The datatype of the column in question in SQL Server is nvarchar(100).
When I do a describe on the SQL Server view ( desc CK_DATA_FOR_OPL@------- ), I get the error below;
ERROR: object CK_DATA_FOR_OPL does not exist
Select * from CK_DATA_FOR_OPL@------ where rownum =1 does get me a row.
create table tmp_tab as
Select * from CK_DATA_FOR_OPL@----- where rownum =1;
desc tmp_tab shows the datatype of the said column in the table created in Oracle as NVARCHAR2(150).
Not sure why a column defined with size 100 in SQL Server should come across as 150 when seen over OTG. We see something similar in DB2 tables we access over OTG as well.

Report conversion tool--Can we modify the query

Hi all,
I have some freehand SQL reports converted into WebI reports. I understand that report conversion tool, creates a new universe for each of the freehand SQL report. But if I try to edit the query, like add a filter condition, an error pops out.
Is it possible to edit the query if we convert freehand sql reports into webi reports?
Regards
Ash.

Hi,
Yes it is possible to edit the query for the converted free hand sql query.
If you see any problem while editing the SQL of the converted report, do a refresh once and try.
Adding query filter also works fine.
Issue from your end could also be due to security settings.i advise to revisit the security once and make sure all appropriate rights are available for the user.
Thanks,
Sri

I bought 2 hrs ago pdf to Office conversion access. It is so horrible, I need to cancel subscription right now

I bought 2 hrs ago pdf to Office conversion access. It is so horrible, I need to cancel subscription right now
the website is so bad that it goes around in a circle- & you cannot access a place where you click & it is done. Nope.. If I cannot cancel it tonight, I will have to call the c/c to force the issue. I wasted my evening on this silly thing....
Pl call 818 523 8735 now.

Dear Sir:
I think you do not seem to understand: this link you provide is TOTALLY
BOGUS & FRAUDULENT!
This is precisely the point of my email.
If I go there, & YOU CLICK SOME indeterminate options..& it opens another
tab & it is exactly the same as the one you came from. & on it goes.
Adobe shoul know better!
Unless, you are pulling off another AOL thing of the '90s.
I am going to call the credit company & report it as fraudulently charged.
See if that works.

Is i possible to base a report on a pl/sql stored procedure

Is i possible to base a report on a pl/sql stored procedure?
If Yes please give directions on how to do it.
/morten

Hello Morten,
In Reports 9i, with new feature JDBCPDS its possiable to create a report against a existing stored procedure.
Using JDBCPDS, user can access any JDBC-enabled data source. You can access database like Oracle, DB2, Sybase, ODBC Data Sources, etc using supporting
JDBC Drivers. User can also connect ODBC Data Sources like SQL Server, MS-Access, Excel etc.
User can create a JDBC Query angainst a SQL Query or Stored Procedure in any of mentioned dataSource.
Following is the syntax of the Oracle Stored Procedure, which can be used as Data Source with JDBCPDS.
Steps to create a JDBCPDS Report through Report Builder : http://otn.oracle.com:8877/reports/help/ - > JDBCPDS- > How To
//----------Package definition for Ref cursor ----------/
package test_Procedure as
type empcurProcedure5 is ref cursor;
end test_tryProcedure5;
// -----------Procedure definition ---------//
test_Procedure(p_emp_cv out test_tryProcedure5.empcurProcedure5,
p1 in NUMBER) is
begin
update emp set sal=sal + 50 where deptno > P1
open p_emp_cv for select * from emp where deptno > P1;
end test_Procedure;
Procedure first parameter will be Ref Cursor and will be used to return the resultSet to JDBC Query.
User should create first this procedure in Database. Then in JDBC Query Dialog, user can call this stored procedure by specifying procedure name.
test_Procedure(40)
Please see ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf/jdbcpds.conf for more Connection and
JDBC-Driver information.

Load report failed Access is denied ErrorCode -2147467259

We've developed an ASP application with several reports that access SQL Server data.
I getting this error:
Load report failed Access is denied ErrorCode -2147467259
only on my development machine.
I've checked every permission on every folder I can think of and I'm out of ideas.
BTW, the reports are working just fine on the Webserver. This problem is only occuring on my local machine.

Business Objects Edge XI R2 - Missing Report Conversion Tool

We have BO Edge XI R2 (SP5) installed, and want to migrate a load of reports from a BO5.4 repository. We have used the Import Wizard to bring objects across, but according to the manual we need to use the Report Conversion Tool to convert them to WEBI report format. The manual seems to say that the Report Conversion Tool should be an option on the Start menu, but it just doesn't appear for me. I have uninstalled the client software from my machine and re-installed it, and there is no option to select to install it. Does anyone know how I can get access to the tool ?

Hello Bob
There are three products you actually mention in your post: Crystal Reports, Crystal Reports Server (Business Objects XI R2 server) and Business Objects Enterprise. Crystal Reports and Crystal Reports Server use the same runtime which is available from here:
[CR XI R2 (SP6) MSM for .NET|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100000634042010E/crxir2sp6_net_mm.zip]
[CR XI R2 (SP6) MSI for .NET|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100000633302010E/crxir2sp6_net_si.zip]
Business Objects Enterprise SDK was always only available from the BOE Install CD and updates were posted to the SAP Market Place (SMP). This is a gated site and login info should have been provided to you on purchase of BOE. I am unable to find the runtime on SMP (it was more than likely removed when support for XI R2 products terminated last year), but I'm sure your account manager should be able to help you out.

Problem when execute report Conversion Tool XI 3.0 on a client

Hi everyone,
When I use Report Conversion Tool on a client (not on Webi Server Windows 2003) I have an error (a red cross appears) before the conversion.
I believe that RCT can not open the document to migrate.
All it's OK when I use RCT since the Webi Server.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for your prompt response.
I have install all the client tool (even SDK, Query Web Service) except Assitant migration source de données, Gestionnaires Vues d'entreprise et Gestionnaire de traduction.
I think I have a problem of rights on my Windows 2003 Server because in the log of conversion (C:Documents and SettingsUtilisateurLocal SettingsTempconversionUSER146731693logsD30860242.xml)
the following lines are written :
Note that I do the conversion with the Administrator login.

Hi Raghu,
Try this idea: run it on server. Other user suggest the Windows version as the reason. if does not run, reinstall the Tool, maybe something is corrupted.

Sorting report columns for PL/SQL report

I have created a report of type "Pl/Sql function body returning Sql query" in which I am generating the column names within the query. I would now like to make the first three of these columns sortable. But when I click on the "sort" box for the first three columns, all my column names suddenly switch to "Col 1", "Col 2" etc.
As you can see by the following snippet from the PL/SQL that generates the query, the column names are data driven, so I'm not in a position to declaratively rename each column. As it happens, the first three columns names are fixed, but all the subsequent column names are data driven.
Suggestions on how to make the first three columns sortable while preserving the generated column names of the remaining columns?
thanks
susan weber
declare
query varchar2(4000); -- query
begin
query := 'select first_name "First Name", last_name "Last Name", encounter_date "Encounter Date" ';
for c1 in (select distinct attr_src, attr_code, attr_text, sequence_number from finding_vt)
loop
query := query || ', (select val_text from finding_vt vt where vt.encounter_id = e.encounter_id and vt.attr_src = ''' || c1.attr_src || ''' and vt.attr_code = ''' || c1.attr_code || ''' and sequence_number = ' || c1.sequence_number || ') "' || substr(c1.attr_text,0,30) || '"';
END LOOP;
query := query || ' from patient pat, encounter e where pat.patient_id = e.patient_id';
return query;
end;

This turns out to be related to the choice of "use generic column names" v. "use query specific column names".
I had chosen "use generic column names" just to get past the initial creation page. I then debugged the query creation sql, but never changed that setting back to "use query specific column names". The fix is to choose "use query specific column names".
