Failed to retrieve data from the database crystal reports 2008 in SAP B1

Hello friends,
I am using Crystal report 2008 with SAP B1 PL 8.8. When I run any report, it runs correctly from Crystal Report. But whenever I try to open the same report through SAP ( Tools -> Preview External Crystal Report ), it prompts the parameters for that report and then open up the crystal report window and throws an Error message ("failed to retrieve data from the database. Details [Database Vendor Code: 156]").
Please any one suggest me the corrective solution.
Thanks in Advance,
Keyur Raval.

I had the same problem in SAP B1 2007. Report worked fine except when it was open from B1. Generally there may be different problems. In my case the same problem was caused by using some procedure which was in a specific schema. Changing the schema into "dbo" solved the problem.

Inserting and retrieving Word docs from a custom table with LOB column

Hi,
I'm sure I'm not looking around in the right place for some docs on this.
Basically I need to build a custom interface in Web PL/SQL to allow a MS Word doc to be uploaded for a user's browser and also a mechanism to retrieve the doc.
Not sure what is the 'best' column datatype to use for this either.
Portal Forms are out of the question due to inflexibility of application.
Cheers,
John

I am using the database connectivity toolkit to retrieve data using a SQL query. The database has 1 million records, I am retrieving 4000 records from the database and the results are taking too long to get, is there any way of speeding it up?

I am using the "fetch all" vi to do this, but it is retrieving one record at a time, (if you examine the block diagram) How can i retrieve all records in a faster more efficient manner?

If this isn't faster than your previous method, then I think you found the wrong example. If you have the Database Connectivity Toolkit installed, then go to the LabVIEW Help menu and select "Find Examples". It defaults to searching for tasks, so open the "Communicating with External Applications" and "Databases" and open the Read All Data. The List Column names just gives the correct header to the resulting table and is a fast operation. That's not what you are supposed to be looking at ... it's the DBTools Select All Data subVI that is the important one. If you open it and look at its diagram, you'll see that it uses a completely different set of ADO methods and properties to retrieve all the data.

How to retrieve characters like '£' from the database and write to xml file

Hi ,
I have a requirement to retrieve the data from database and write to files in XML format.
I am able to do so successfuly by using XMLElement tag and writing to file through UTL_File package.
All characters like <&@^ get converted properly, but when it comes to multibyte chars like '£', they are not able to get converted as it is.
Can somebody please advise me how to go ahead.
Regards

Thanks odie.
The nls_charset for my database is WE8ISO8859P1 and database version is Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.5.0 - 64bi.
The data (with pound sign) is sitting in one of the columns of the table and when i query it directly, I am able to view it properly.
However when I use the below code to retrieve in XML format and print it to file, it gets changed. This file is also passed to one of the application GUI where this XML gets processsed and it is not visible properly.
below id the sample abstract of code I am using.
Declare
l_file UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
l_clob CLOB;
l_buffer VARCHAR2(32767);
l_amount BINARY_INTEGER := 32767;
l_pos INTEGER := 1;
Begin
SELECT XMLElement("case",
XMLElement("comments",
XMLElement("comment",
XMLElement("comments",a.COMMENTS)
).getClobVal() val1 into l_clob
FROM TO_COMMENTS a
l_file :=
UTL_FILE.fopen (XMLDIR,
test.xml,
'w',
32767);
LOOP
DBMS_LOB.read (l_clob,
l_amount,
l_pos,
l_buffer);
UTL_FILE.put_line (l_file, l_buffer);
l_pos := l_pos + l_amount;
END LOOP;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.NEW_LINE('Reached end of file');
END;
The comments column given contains the character like pound.
And once the file is generated and i see using the vi editor, the char is not viewable properly like Â£
And when the same is passed to GUI application to be processed, its not viewable propely in GUI from IE as well like �.

How to retrieve the large data from the database

in my program, I want to operate the data retrieved from the database. but there are too many rows in the ResultSet . so when I try to get the ReusltSet from the database, the error of "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
" will appear . because there are two million rows contained in the ResultSet, So I want to know whether there are some methods to deal with this problem.
anyone can give me some tips or recommend some papers and books to me.
thanks!!!!

the program is developed for the data warehourse, you know there is a large number of data in data warehourse. so I think I have to deal with the very large ResultSet in my program, this code is a example for my problem :
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class Untitled1 {
    String user = "";
    String password = "";
    public void createTable() {
        try {
            Class.forName("com.sybase.jdbc3.jdbc.SybDriver");
            System.out.println("Good to go");
            String url = "jdbc:sybase:Tds:59.64.137.240:5000/TJ";
            Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, password);
            System.out.println("connect successfully!");
//            Statement st1 = conn.createStatement();
            String sqlsentence2 = "SELECT DISTINCT caller FROM upcdr";
            PreparedStatement st2 = conn.prepareStatement(sqlsentence2);
            PreparedStatement st3 = conn.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO callerTable VALUES(?)");
            System.out.println("createstatement successfully!");
//            String sqlsentence1 = "CREATE TABLE callerTable (caller CHAR(18))";
//            st1.executeUpdate(sqlsentence1);
//            System.out.println(sqlsentence1);
//            st1.close();
            ResultSet rs = st2.executeQuery();
            while (rs.next()) {
                st3.setString(1, rs.getString("caller"));
                st3.executeUpdate();
                System.out.println(rs.getString("caller"));
            st2.close();
            st3.close();
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
           System.out.println( e.getSQLState());
           System.out.println( e.getErrorCode());
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        Untitled1 cct = new Untitled1();
        cct.createTable();
}at here, the table "upcdr" is very large, it has two million rows. when I run this program , the error will happen. someone told me that if I use the cursor, because it will retrieve one row from the database every time, so it will not produce a very large ResultSet, then the memory would not be used out. but I am not familiar with that aspect. so I think if anyone can give me some advice.
thanks!!!!

Importing Word docs from a RH for Word project

I have a HUGE RH for Word project that I'm trying to convert
to RHTML (RH Office X5). We generate CHM with this project, and
we've got map ids for all topics. I've been to Peter Grainge's site
to get some ideas, but I don't think they're going to work. There
are so many Word files and topics (537 and 2,974, respectively)
that the more I think about it, the more I think that a conversion
to RH HTML might not be worth it.
When I tried to import all of the Word documents and also
convert the TOC (converting the Index isn't an option since it
never worked with our large number of Word docs) and use the
HTMLHelp.css (using the Import wizard), RH HTML crashed twice after
40 minutes.
So, I created a new RH HTML project and tried to import just
one Word doc from the RH for Word project, and selected the same
wizard options. As I expected, the Word doc imported, but even
though I told RH to split the topics on Heading 2, it also copied
in the characters (#S+@) that preceded every topic heading and
incorporated them into the Topic Title. AND, RH HTML did not
"convert" the TOC - it was blank.
In another post I saw a reference to this patch -
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb07-10.html.
I'm not sure it's related, although when I examined my second
failed import attempt, the imported topics were visible in the
project folder only by using Windows Explorer - RoboHelp HTML did
not display them from within RoboHelp.
Does anyone know if this is the patch that will fix this
issue as well?
By the way, based on the number of questions I've seen posted
about RH for Word 7 with zero replies, I'm thinking I'm going to
run into issues as well, even if we leave it in RH for Word when we
upgrade to version 7. It seems that its size is an issue for RH
HTML.
Thanks,
Jim
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,
just as an encouragement: we sucessfully converted a HUGE RH
for Word project (4,300 topics) to RH HTML a while ago, including
TOC, index and everything. I must admit though that we had all
those topics in only 25 word documents. Maybe you can reduce the
number of documents by moving the topics? There will always be
problems you run into and afterward, we had to go through every
single topic and check the formatting, but I guess you'd always
have to do this. But I think it's worth it, working in HTML is so
much more convenient.
Good luck!

Failed to retrieve data from the database when adding jdbc datasource

I'm having problems adding some tables to the selected tables list using the database expert.
I get the error messages "Failed to retrieve data from the database" followed by "Unknown Database Connection Error".
I thought it may be a permissions issue as it only affects some tables, but I can access the same tables fine using the same user through Oracle SQL Developer.
The database is Oracle 10g Express Editions
Crystal version is 12.0.0.683
Running on Windows XP
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Crystal Reports - Failed to retrieve data from the database

Hi There,
I'm hoping that somebody can help me.
I've developed a crystal report from a stored procedure which I wrote. I can execute the stored procedure within SQL Server and within the Crystal Reports designer without any errors. Furthermore, I have imported the report into sap and can run it within SAP from the server without any errors. SAP version 8.81 PL5
The issue is that when it's run from a client machine, I get the following error: "Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: Database Vendor Code: 156. Error in the File RCR10010 {tempfile location}
Here's a list of things which I have tried, all to no avail:
- Checked user permissions to ensure that they have proper authorizations
- Re-set the datasource connection and re-imported the report to SAP.
- Exported the report and reviewed the datasource connection and re-imported to SAP.
- Tried to run the report on multiple machines to ensure that it's not machine specific
- Tried to run the report using different users to ensure it's not user specific.
- Tested other reports built from stored procedures on client machines to ensure that they work.
Any assistance in this would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you

After further testing, we found that the report could be run within SAP on any work station which had the CR designer installed on it.
As it turns out, the procedure which I wrote has temp tables in it. The runtimes built into the SAP client install do not support creating temp tables when executing the report from within SAP. Which is why the report could not retreive data.
To work around this, I installed external runtimes which were the same version of the Crystal Report and now the report can be run within SAP from any workstation which has the external runtimes (and not just the runtimes within the SAP client).
I hope this makes sense.

Can I use stored procedures to improve data retrieval from the database?

I have been requested to get multiple pieces of data from multiple tables and return the output in an array for use in a Java program.
Eliminating multiple calls to the database. Currently, the data is retrieved from the database in multiple steps but to eliminate
possible bottlenecks in the future, I created several complex sql statements.
For instance,
In the first table there are 20 columns of data. has a column named type which can have the one of these values: line, inn, or bsc
In the second table there are 6 columns of data. has the additional data for type line
In the third table there are 7 columns of data. has the additional data for type inn
In the fourth table there are 2 columns of data. has data regardless of type
etc...
Depending on a specific column value retrieved (inn) from the first table:
I need to collect all 20 columns in the first table and get all the columns in third table and the columns in the fourth table, etc.
Question: How can I remove the duplicate primary key columns without specifying for each table the column names to be returned?
I used the wildcard SELECT * because I didn't want to have to update the retrieval methods if additional columns are added to these
secondary tables.
example of my sql for type inn data:
select * from first_table f, third_table s, fourth_table t
where (f.column1='xxxx' and f.column2='xxxx') (the 'xxxx' are passed into the sql statement)
and
((s.column1=f.column1 and s.column2=f.column2)
and
(f.column3=t.column1));
Currently, I've duplicated the separate sqls for each valid type found in the first table (at least a dozen types). The only difference is
the table name. Instead of the third table I use the second table, etc.
The MAIN Question: How can I set this up to have one sql to handle each type? I want to eliminate having over a dozen duplicated sqls. Can I
incorporate this into a stored procedure or something? If so, how? Can anyone provide sample coding?
Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, Salah.
Use "Exec" in your query to run procedures.
SAPbobsCOM.Recordset oRS;
oRS = (SAPbobsCOM.Recordset)pCmp.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset);
oRS.DoQuery ("EXEC YourStoredProcName");
Triggers are not supported in SDK.

Failed to retrieve data from the database/invalid argument provided when employing link between two web services datasources

Post Author: vpost
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I am trying to join information from two related web services within CR XI. I have successfully set up the web services as data sources have been able to get to the point where I get good data back. However, when I try to pull in certain fields, I get an error that says "Failed to retrieve data from the database/invalid argument provided". Here's the scenario:
The web services are structured as follows:Web Service 1 (Artist) has attributes of Artist Name and Date of Birth.Web Service 2 (CD) has attributes of CD Title and Release Date. Underneath each CD are songs, each of which have a Song Title and Artist Name.
I have defined both web services and defined a link between Artist.Artist Name and CD/Song.Artist Name. I am able to run a report with Song Title and Date of Birth that crosses web services. I am able to run another report with Song Title and CD Title that crosses the different levels in the second web service. However, if I add CD Title to the first report or Date of Birth to the second (both of which effectively force CR to employ the link between the two web services AND the CD/Song hierarchical structure in the second web service, I get the aforementioned error.
Any assistance understanding how multiple web services can be linked in this manner would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure about your exact situation, but having similar problem with another application and have tracked down to security. Added user to group Domain Admin and it works fine. It appears to be accessing a subdirectory which it does not have permission to use and then times out and returns the "invalid....". Seems that once the query just over a certain size (and I'm not sure what triggers this) it needs to make use of temparory file disk, intead of ram.
I'm still trying to track down which temporary it's trying to uses - so if you have any ques.

Hi,
Are all your data in the View or each time you run a query it update the View? Please try to update your View then run the Report again, much better if you delete the original View and replace with a new one,
