Reports work in Crystal Server XI, but not in XI Rel 2.

Question

Hello All. <br><br>
We have recently migrated Crystal Reports Server from 11.0 to 11.5 (Release 2).
While most of the reports work okay, there are some that generate an error message when we try to run them from Infoview or the Central Management Console.  They work okay on the old server, and in Developer XI:-
<br><br>
CrystalReportViewer<br>
Cannot determine the queries necessary to get data for this report. Failed to retrieve data from the database. Error in File C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\{D7C16401-7B2A-4A95-AAAF-B6C16BEE11A8}.rpt: Failed to retrieve data from the database.
ERROR: Cannot determine the queries necessary to get data for this report. Failed to retrieve data from the database. Error in File C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\{D7C16401-7B2A-4A95-AAAF-B6C16BEE11A8}.rpt: Failed to retrieve data from the database.
<br><br>
I've compared some of the reports, and the only difference I can see between them is, the number of Oracle SQL statements which are used.  All the reports I've checked, that don't work; have five SQL statements.  Also, when I chopped out a few fields that are used by the lookups, the report worked (this removes one the SQL statements).
<br><br>
Are there any changes that I need to make to web.config, machine.config or the Oracle driver settings?
<br><br>
I've tried searching the forums, but cannot find the same sort of problem.  (Originally, a lot of the reports were not working, but after checking the forums, I was able to change a timeout in web.config, so that was very helpful, thanks).
<br><br>
Thanks for looking.  I'd be really grateful for any help.

Honestly I have never used the server explorer for anything, so I am not sure what is needed for that to work.
You need to install the Enterprise SDK on your dev box.
Do a custom server install on your dev machine, unchecking everything except for the .NET SDK and Help files.
