Set table location

Post Author: midav
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hi, CR 8.5 had a menu option where one could manually modify table location from [db_name].[owner].table_name to just table_name by deleting [db_name].[owner] prefix which would make your report portable between different databases. It seems Crystal 11.5 doesn't have this option any more.How can I achieve the same in CR 11.5 designer?Thank you, Midav

Are you sure you can delete it or it was creating an alias for the table? eg: SELECT * FROM [dbname].[owner].table MyTable Then you can use MyTable.field ? Maybe you should use ODBC to connect to the DB ?

Set Table Location for Reports(Command Objects)

Hi SAP Gems,
I would like to thank TED,Merry,Jonathan, Shawn, and all the developers contributing to this community.
I would really appreciate any help on following question:
1. I have a report designed in CR 2008 against DB2(JDBC Connectivity).
2. The report is working fine in the designer.
3. There are five sub reports in the main report.
4. The main report doesnt have any command object however every child/sub report has command object with paramaters.
5. Every subreport is linked.
6. I would like to change runtime datasource location for this report using CRJ 2.0 SDK'S.( from AIX to Windows BOX)
7. Both BOX's have same database schema.
8. I am able to view the report in the jsp page using SDK's, however "set table location doesnt works and prompts me the error:
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: Unexpected database connector error---- Error code:-2147467259 Error code name:failed
*There is no problem with the code because the sample code is taken from sdn.sap as it is and it works for other report without subreport and command objects.
I tried using the following code piece but again same problem.
if(table instanceof com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.data.CommandTable)
                    IProcedure command = (IProcedure)table;
                    ParameterField commandParam = (ParameterField) command.getParameters().get(0);
                    Values values = new Values();
                    ParameterFieldDiscreteValue pfdv = new ParameterFieldDiscreteValue();
                    pfdv.setValue("ANTON");
                    values.add(pfdv);
                    commandParam.setCurrentValues(values);
I would like to know if I dont want to set the command level param using:
ParameterField commandParam = (ParameterField) command.getParameters().get(0);
                    Values values = new Values();
                    ParameterFieldDiscreteValue pfdv = new ParameterFieldDiscreteValue();
                    pfdv.setValue("ANTON");
                    values.add(pfdv);
                    commandParam.setCurrentValues(values);
would the parameter would be prompted automatically?
how do I find what paramaeter to set and how ?

Crystal 8.5! Set table locations at run time to queries

Hopefully some people still remember version 8.5...
I have a number of reports which all work from a single database, this can be either Access or SQL Server, I'm currently testing on Access. I would like to use the same reports but print them for multiple databases, all of which have the same schema. To do this I'm creating UNION queries in one of the databases and I now want to change the location of the tables in the report to use these union queries instead.
For example, say the report uses table "Customer" in db1 but I have also have db2 and db3 with the same table, I'm enumerating all fields used in the report and creating a union in db1 something like:
SELECT field1, field2 FROM Customer IN 'db1.mdb'
UNION SELECT field1, field2 FROM Customer IN 'db2.mdb'
UNION SELECT field1, field2 FROM Customer IN 'db3.mdb'
Now I've tested this in Crystal Reports itself, i.e. setting the location to the new tables, and it works OK. I'm having to use an OLEDB connection otherwise the links get removed. When I try to set the location in code I just get no data on the report even though there is data available.
In code I'm going through all tables (and all tables in all sub reports) and I've tried setting the Location property to the name of the union, I've tried SetTableLocation "<path to db>", "<union name>" and I've tried both using SetLogOnInfo "<path to db>" as well.
I'm thinking perhaps converting the report to active data and plugging in an ADO recordset could be a solution but I'm not sure how feasible that is from code (i.e. converting the database driver from either pdsoledb.dll or pdbdao.dll to pdsmon.dll and creating a ttx on the fly...).
Any help much appreciated.

Hi,
SetTableLocation should work but you need to make sure you call it for each of the tables in the report or in this case the Union.
Just like in the report designer when you set the location you need to point to the table you want to change. Even though you get the prompt asking to set the same location for all the tables, it's doing the same thing for you.
Hope this helps,
Brian

How to set database location for stored procedure

Post Author: Pavel
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I've already found out that setting location is not only my problem, but I can't understand the correct decision. We using CR to create reports, accessing the data in MSSQL by ODBC.
Previously (up to version 8) I set location directly, editing the "Table" field in "Set Location" form. Command after report creation was:
Proc(DBNAME.dbo.PROCEDURE_NAME;1)
I erased "DBNAME.dbo.", so the correct command was
Proc(PROCEDURE_NAME;1)
After that, the report can run on any database name, any ODBC datasource with any owner name of procedure.
Now we had to upgdate to CR 11 Developer Edition.
Here I can't erase database location. But when I change database location to ODBC datasource for another database, the properties of stored procedure "Catalog" and "Owner" remain the same as they initiated when report was created! So, when report runs, it call
exec OLD_DB_NAME.dbo.PROCEURE_NAME;1 ....
So, the report doesn't work on customer database, because it has different name.
How can I erase any database location in the report?We run reports using API from Gupta Team Developer applications, may be it is possible to set database location by API before running report?
Plese help, any tips are usefull.

Post Author: Pavel
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
When I set location to another database (i.e. another ODBC datasource) by clicking Update button, "Catalog" property is not changing! It remains unaltered. I had to remove procedure from report and then add procedure from another database, so there was a lot of formatting fileds after that.
This is not a right decision. I didn't solved current problem, I only temporary patched it.
The correct desision is to set location programmatically from application.But function PEGetNthTableLocation returns empty strings in CR11, or I incorectly declared this function (from CR8.5):
BOOL CRPE_API PEGetNthTableLocation ( short printJob, //handle to print job short tableN, //number of table struct PETableLocation FAR *location //structure pointer);typedef struct PETableLocation { WORD StructSize; char Location [PE_TABLE_LOCATION_LEN]; //256 char SubLocation[PE_TABLE_LOCATION_LEN]; //256 char ConnectBuffer[PE_CONNECTION_BUFFER_LEN]; //512} PETableLocation;

Crystal crashes when trying to "Set Datasource Location"

Hi,
My client's Crystal app (version 9) crashes when she attempts to remap a report using the "Set datsource Location". Basically, as soon as she selects it, she gets a msg ..something like "CRw32.exe error" and the app bombs.
Any ideas on what may cause this folks ??
thx a lot,
Steve

Open the report up and Click on Database, Set Location, find ODBC in the list and connect using your DSN. Now select your DB and tables, varies so you may have just click on the OLE DB connection and the n DSN and click Update button or you may have to do this for each table also.

Crystal Reports 2008 - Changing Table Locations

Hello,
we have several reports which we use by different customers. The customers use different name spaces (table locations) for the same data. To use the same reports with different table locations, we wrote a piece of software replacing the connection strings and table locations.
Example:
A report should be used in a test environment as well as in a production environment:
The original SQL is (using a DB2 database on a AS400):
    SELECT alias.name FROM as400.production.users alias
The modified SQL looks like:
    SELECT alias.name FROM as400.test.users alias
Up to now we used Crystal XI and developed using RDC. We solved the above described problem by reading the report SQL string, replacing the table location in this string and assigned it back to the report object. Modifying the SQL string has the advantage that it works fine also for reports which contain a SQL command.
Since Crystal Reports 2008 this is not possible anymore (no RDC, no direct way to modify the report SQL string).
My first approach was to use the CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table object. First I just wanted to see what really was the content of the Location and Name property:
for (int i = 0; i < rdReport.Database.Tables.Count; ++i)
Table rt = rdReport.Database.Tables<i>;
Console.WriteLine("Table Nr : {0}", i);
Console.WriteLine(" Table Loc : {0}", rt.Location);
Console.WriteLine(" Table Name : {0}", rt.Name);
My problem with this is that the output for the report with the SQL in the above example is:
Table Nr: 0
Table Loc : users
Table Name: alias
So obviously not the real table location and table name is returned, but instead the table name for the table location and the alias for the table name. Unsurprisingly setting the location had not the originally desired effect.
Furthermore if the report was designed using a SQL command, the location and in the name property contain the string COMMAND. Therefore the table object doesn't seems to be the solution to my problem.
Thanks to the help of a user in this forum here, I figured out how to read the SQL string of a report. Unfortunately I did not found a way to assign it back to the report.
Has anybody here an idea how to solve my problem? I'm open for every kind of hint.
Thanks in advance,
Ron

How to set/change location of DBF files?

Hi,
I would like to connect programatically my report to DBF file and it is needed to specify location of dbf files. Is possible to handle with it? (Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 Full version, VS 2008)
Tomas

You will have to set the location for each table. I believe something along these lines:
Dim myreport As New CrystalReport1
' Set the 'Location' property for each table in your database.
myreport.Database.Tables(0).Location = "C:\mydb\table1.dbf"
myreport.Database.Tables(1).Location = "C:\mydb\table2.dbf"

Modify a mapping's table location using OMBALTER MAPPING

Hi,
I also posted this on metalink. So here's my question.
I can set certain table properties used by an OWB mapping, using the OMBALTER MAPPING syntax. Here I'm setting a dblink, OMBALTER MAPPING 'MY_MAPPING' MODIFY OPERATOR 'MY_TABLE' SET PROPERTIES (DATABASE_LINK) VALUES ('MY_DBLINK')
OR
loading hint OMBALTER MAPPING 'MY_MAPPING' MODIFY OPERATOR 'MY_TABLE' SET PROPERTIES (LOADING_HINT) VALUES ('/*+ APPEND */')
My problem is when I try changing a table's location. Here's what I already tried.
OMBALTER MAPPING 'MY_MAPPING' MODIFY OPERATOR 'MY_TABLE' SET PROPERTIES (LOCATION) VALUES ('MY_LOCATION')
Result: OMB02902: Error setting property LOCATION of MY_MAPPING: MMM1034: Property LOCATION does not exist
OMBALTER MAPPING 'MY_MAPPING' MODIFY OPERATOR 'MY_TABLE' SET PROPERTIES (LOCATION_NAME) VALUES ('MY_LOCATION')
Result: OMB02902: Error setting property LOCATION_NAME of MY_MAPPING: MMM1034: Property LOCATION_NAME does not exist
Question is how can I change the location name of table "MY_TABLE" used by OWB mapping "MY_MAPPING" with OMB+?
OWB release is 10.2.0.31
Thank you and please excuse this newby question but I find the Oracle documentation very cryptic.

Hi,
That's not correct, I had an issue when I changed the asociated location of one of the modules. After that the mappings of another modules using tables of the altered module continue referencing to the older location. I don't know if the problem persists when closing OWB and opening again, but I made a OMB Script to change de location of the tables. The property name is DB_LOCATION, not LOCATION:
OMBALTER MAPPING 'MY_MAPPING' MODIFY OPERATOR 'MY_TABLE' SET PROPERTIES (DB_LOCATION) VALUES ('MY_NEW_LOCATION')

Intervals, synchronize the data between two oracle tables located in diffe

Hi Experts,
Is there any way I can, at set intervals, synchronize the data between two oracle tables located in different servers? What is the software, if there is any? If there are steps I can follow, so much the better.
Thanks!

I'm not sure what you want to achieve here...
I want to synchronize both the Servers , so that it can update HO servers as well as Factory Server with the complete data. Could you please elaborate a little bit more; basing on your description I could also tell you how to setup timesync for those two servers if I understand "complete data" as the current date and time...
Also a lot of solutions are platform and version specific so it would help if you could indicate OS and Database Versions (4 digit).
And I still fail to see what this has to do with forms. You might want to post your question to the Database General forum: General Database Discussions
cheers

VS2010 Crystal Report Crashes System when using 'Set DataSource Location..'

Runtime ASP.NET 3.5
VS 2010
Under Database Fields (rt click) try Set DataSource Location... causes VS2010 to crash.
This is on an imported report from VS2008. VS2008 has no problem with the report.
Since this is a ASP.NET 3.5 program the internal property field
<ResGenToolArchitecture>Managed32Bit</ResGenToolArchitecture>
has been set in the project in order to allow the code to compile w/out errors.
What is solution for Crystal Report Set DataSource Location?

Hi Ken,
Here's one link on the issue: CRVS2010 RTM: Database Expert / External Component has thrown an exception
The reason is Old OS's used c:\temp as the default, now you are require to use %user%\temp as your temp folder as well as using the AppData folder for your app. If CR finds c:\temp it uses it and depending on what is in there it can cause Cr to crash, XML files have been know to do this.
Following MS's new rules on users temp folder should make your app Windows Compliant.
Thanks again

// note the differences between the tag at the top vs the bottom.

Where can i set the location of the LogonTicket cookies in the visual admin

hello:
where can i set the location of the LogonTicket cookies in the visual administrator?
thanks!!

Hi,
When the SAP LOGON ticket Expired or if we need to update the dates, it is generally done at the Visual Administration Level. SAP Logon Ticket is represented as cookie in the Browser which will help us for SSO.
In Visual Admin under keystore admin where our Old Portal certificate exists.
We will need to delete the old portal certificate, then we need to generate new ceritificate and a pop box will appear.. where we need to provide our System details like SID, Client. After these details are given we can get a new certificate in which validity period dates are automatically generated. And also we can import teh same into Portal at Sys Admin->sys config->key store admin for it to be available as .PSE or .DER file for SSO.
