Report Database info in CMC

Hi All,
We are using Crystal Reports 2011 with Business objects 4.0. We are planning to upgrade our database server, Is there a way to find all the databases associated to reports using a query? or any tool to get the required data?
Thanks in advance!

hi Santhosh,
you may be able to use the query builder tool to do this.
BusinessObjects Query builder - Basics
if you need further info on using this particular tool let me know & i'll move your question to the bi platform space.
you can also look into 3rd party tools such as rpt inspector which may be able to do this.

Hello! Want to programatically alter the Report.Database.Tables info

why? to save time thats why, I have a zillion reports that I have to point at a new database periodically, (and I have some time on my hands here at the ranch) so I decided to automate the process. I made a windows application with Visual Studio that opens the rpt files as objects using the crystaldicisions object object model thingy, pulls out the table logoninfo.connectioninfo stuff and sets it to a new location THEN when I try to set the report.database.tables back to my new modified version it says that the tables property is a readonly thingy. I can open and save, but I cant modify the part I want to... how can I alter the serverName and databaseName properties such that I can save the result?
thank you!
much love.

I was making a new copy of the database.tables and then editing it then trying to set the whole reportdocument.database.tables = to my modified version, it was readonly so it didnt work. when I just iterate through the tables and set the properties on each one, it works just fine.

Unable to refresh report in InfoView or CMC

Hi,
I am using OLE DB (ADO) connection to connect to MS SQL Server 2008 database and able to successfully refresh the report in Crystal Reports 2008 designer.
When I publish the report in BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1, and try to view the report in Info View or CMC, I get the following error message:
u201CThe database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect.u201D
I am using Windows AD authentication to login to BusinessObjects.
Option u201CUse original database logon information from the reportu201D is selected under u201CDatabase Configurationu201D for the report.
Under u201CWhen viewing report: u201C, I have selected u201CUse same database logon as when report is runu201D
Does anyone know what is the resolution for this error message.
Thank you.

Hi All,
I have Crystal Reports Server XI R2 installed on a server and the database folder (foxpro) is located on a different server. Crystal is connected to the database using an ODBC connection (UNC path).
When I try to preview a report in Infoview or CMC I get the following error: "There was an error retrieving data from the server: The table 'dp' could not be found. Error in File C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\{BC665D6D-95DE-426B-A7A2-EBF9D23F42F4}.rpt: The table could not be found."
dp is the name of one of our tables.
If I publish a report that uses sql database or a foxpro db that is located on the same server as Crystal Server I donu2019t receive any error message..
Please help if you can and thanks in advance.

Error installing P6 Reporting Database 3.0

I am a relative noob when it comes to Oracle applications. And my customer has allowed their Oracle support contract to expire, which makes things so very easy....
I currently have EPPM 8.2 w/Weblogic and OBIEE installed and functional...11.1.1.5....on 2008 R2, with a Solaris backend. I am attempting to install and configure the P6 Reporting Database 3.0. I'm running into errors when running the staretl.bat process for the first time- I believe what is happening is it is trying to pull data into the Star database. It generates the following error:
*+<12.19.2012 16:50:04> staretl [INFO] (Progress) - Finished Script W_PROJECT_SECURITY_SS.sql+*

I can view those scripts that are referenced, but they don't mean much to me. The info I've posted is from the log files, so you can see how useless it is....when I spool and run one of them individually, to see what the exact errors are, here is what I get:
SQL> @ W_PROJECT_DS.sql*
ORA-06512: at "STARUSER.EXTRACT2STAGING", line 74*
Exception: Error during extract for table W_PROJECT_DS: ORA-00904: "LOCATION_ID": invalid i*

ORA-00904: "LOCATION_ID": invalid identifier*
ORA-06512: at "STARUSER.EXTRACT2STAGING", line 109*
ORA-06512: at line 2*
I don't pretend to know what the error means, or how I might correct it. Anyone have an idea of where I should start looking?

I have the same issue, but instead of "Location_ID" it claims that the problem is with "LASTUPDATEDATEX" (ORA-00904: invalid identifier). Oracle DB version is 11g, all of the instances (EPPM, ODS, STAR) are hosted on the same server, but are separate instances.
How does the Multimedia component influence this bug?
BTW: Reporting DB version is 3.1 - staretl process has 48 instead of 28 in 3.0 steps.

BO XI R2 Change design time database info

Hi,
I have created a report and deploy it in the developpement BO Enterprise server (with the "Use original database logon information from the report")
Now that this report is moving to the testing environnement I need to change those database info (with "Use custom database logon information specified here")
It doesn't seem to work.
My databases are all sql server.
This problem seem to occurs when the report is based on a stored procedure (since the full sp name is keeped databasename.dbo.spname)
Any idea?

Symptom
The Integration Kit for Baan driver displays incorrect time data in reports. The time is off by an hour between the dates marking the old Daylight Saving Time (DST) and the new DST change.
Cause
DST has been changed to occur earlier in the year. The Integration Kit for Baan does not pick the new settings up.
Resolution
There are files called ZONEFILES on the BAAN Server. These files must be already updated on the Baan server side.
The Integration Kit for Baan installs our own version of these files in the following folder:
\Baan\Native\lib\ZONEINFO
on the hard drive where the Integration Kit is installed.
Back up these files on the Crystal Reports/Business Objects XI computer, then put a copy of the ZONEFILES from the Baan Server to the computer where the Integration Kit for Baan is installed.

How to report database performance to upper management?

Hello all.
I am looking for a way to report database performance to upper management. I'll start by giving you an overview of our team structure. I manage a team of various roles: Level 2 support specialists, configuration managers, and DBAs - we are dubbed the
"Production Support Team". I report directly to the VP of Software Development who oversees the Design, DEV, and QA, team managers. This means that our team, Production Support, can be considered a peer team of Design, DEV, and QA.
The manager of each team compiles metrics from their team members and reviews them on a weekly basis to ensure we are headed in the right direction. We then take our metrics, and distill them down into a few key metrics that we then report to the VP
of Software Development. Those metrics are easy tom compile for the L2 support roles (number of tickets escalated, number closed, etc.). However, I've been struggling with how to report DBA performance for a long time. Every time I start
to compile numbers, I end up with tons of things that are great for a DBA, but don't mean much to upper management. Does anyone have any suggestions. Surely I'm not the only person that has had this issue?
I'd be happy to provide more info if needed. Thanks!
Clint

are you using an RTF template ?
in the RTF template you need to use this syntax for the HTML enabled field
<?html2fo:MOSC_COMMENTS?>
instead of <?MOSC_COMMENTS?>

Reporting Database growing rapidly

Hello,
Is it normal for the reporting database in SSRS to grow so rapidly? I created a new database 2 days ago, and already it has gone from 300 megabytes the first day to 3gb today. Usually, in a matter of 4-5 months, it grows to 30+ gb.
Is it normal for it to do this? Once it get's too large it starts to slow the nightly refresh of content down and causes it to take much longer. Also, it seems that when it gets large like that, there are noticeable bottlenecks on the SQL box.
If this is normal, is the solution just to create a new reporting database once in a while? Shrink it? What? I looked online and didn't see much info addressing this topic.

It all depends on the number of transactions is carried over the database. If space is going to be constraint
then take a log backup and shrink the log file.
Refer the below article

Database configuration in CMC

Hello,
My question is about database configuration in CMC. Which option
1) Use original database to logon
2) Use custom database to logon
should be used? And what is the difference between them?

Option 1(Original database logon) contains the connection data for the data source used when the report was set to access in the CR designer when it was exported into your BOBJ repository.
Option 2 (Custom) allows you to override the original data source and fetch data from another database or by using other connection parameters.
You can use which ever option fits your needs.

Oracle's Primavera P6 Reporting Database

Anybody has used Oracle's Primavera P6 Reporting Database? I would like to get some info. Oracle is so busy to answer my questions.
Thanks,
Fouad

The best way is to read the manual as ERDB is very few companies using successfully and thats why Oracle do not have much to tell about expecially from troubleshooting point of view.
Understanding Stage, ODS and Star Databases, ETL process and then using crystal reports to get the desired reports is what ERDB.
Now we got a new Oracle P6 tool called P6 Analytical R1 that works with ERDB R2 for real time analysis and business intelligent reporting...cool stuff but really tricky...

Now My problem is, I do not want to use IF .... ENDIF statment. Is there any other way to write the code .
Please Help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
In this situation you can use field-symbols and/or a internal table. Like this:
tables: pa0586.
field-symbols: <ff1> type any,
               <ff2> type any,
               <ff3> type any.
data: w_campo1(30),
      w_campo2(30),
      w_campo3(30),
data: w_nx(2) type n.
data: begin of i_myitc occurs,
        itc like pa0586-itc01,
        dsc(30),
      end of i_myitc.
* fixed selection or may be from a z table
i_myitc-itc = '01'. i_myitc-dsc = 'AAAAA'. append i_myitc.
i_myitc-itc = '02'. i_myitc-dsc = 'BBBBB'. append i_myitc.
i_myitc-itc = '03'. i_myitc-dsc = 'CCCCC'. append i_myitc.
select single * from pa0586.
do 30 times.
   w_nx = sy-index.
   concatenate 'PA0586-ITC' w_nx into w_campo1.
   concatenate 'PA0586-PIN' w_nx into w_campo2.
   concatenate 'PA0586-AIN' w_nx into w_campo3.
   assign (w_campo1) to <ff1>.
   assign (w_campo2) to <ff2>.
   assign (w_campo3) to <ff3>.
   read table i_myitc with key itc = <ff1>.
   write: / <ff1>, <ff2>, <ff3>, i_myitc-dsc.
enddo.

Crystal report server2008 (XI R2): CMC session timeout error

HI
Crystal report server2008 (XI R2): CMC session timeout error
Accessing folders, scheduling reporting or running reports are working fine with Central Management Console (CMC) within the Crystal report server or accessing CMC within VPN machine. But when CMC is accessed through browser from client desktop i.e through proxy URL, users are not able to access folder or personal folders to view any reports even admin user is not able to access folders. When users try to access folder or personal folders it gives session-timeout errors. Within less than a 1 or 2 minutes it is showing session timeout error. Appreciates any one help on this quickly.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg412653.aspx and gave full permissions for TFS account to SQL and Project, Project app pool account to SQL, but still have an error.
How can I find out what exactly permissions are not enough???

The problem was in claims authentication. Changed to Windows and all worked out.

P6 user name is not valid for connecting to the reporting database

No data is available because your P6 user name is not valid for connecting to the reporting database
I am getting above error in the following environment:
P6 running on wls instance 1.
BI Publisger running on wls instance 2
MS SQL server 2005
Note that the error appears when I clink on the 'Reports' tab in P6. My admin user on P6 has access to report/analyser modules.
To connect P6 to BI Publisher I am using 'PxRptUser' in the P6 configuration for Bi Publisher. I know as well that the WSDL URL is correct and I can test this in SoapUI tool.
In BI publisher I have created the PMDB data source using PxRprUser, and the test of this connection works.
(Because the report samples come with Oracle flavoured SQL that SQL server does not like, I have configured BI Publisher so I have just a single report left that sources it data from an xml file. This works in BI Publisher. It also helps me in that I do not need to add 'WHERE' clauses and parameters required for SQL server?)
Furthermore, using a DB tool, I can connect to my SQL server using PxRPTUser.
So why do I get the error above?
I picked up somewhere that I should not be adding users to BI Publisher. Funny enough, testing the 'login' method the BI Publisher exposes through its WSDL (as above) I noticed I HAD to create the user PxRptUser in BI publisher application itself (on top of PxRptUser in database) for the login web service to work with PxRptUser
That did not solve the connection between P6 and BI Publisher though. What am I missing ...
Edited by: user3674522 on 10/11/2011 20:16

Thought I found something but can't repliacte, som issue is still there:
Had a look at the wls instance logs where BI publisher is running, and the error I get is:
111111_023646955][][ERROR] javax.naming.NamingException: Unresolved naming: cn=admin, dc=user, dc=users, dc=principals at [cn=admin]
That user, admin, is the one I have used to access P6. Why is this passed on to BI Publisher? I thought the idea was that the PxRptUser set in BI Publisher configurations in P6 would be used?
