Task Constraint Date in Reporting Database

Hi,
I want to access Task Constraint Date to create a custom report from the Repoting Database of Ms Project Server 2010. However, i don't see this field in the database. Could you please help me in accessing this fied from Reporting database?

Hi,
The task constraints are not in the Reporting DB. You have to query the publish DB for that, specifically the TASK_CONSTRAINT_TYPE
field in dbo.MSP_Tasks table.
See
here
for the values of the constraint types in the DB.
Please refer to this
similar thread.
Hope this helps,

Task Assignment Notes in Reporting Database

Hi,
I am working on a requirement to display task Assignment level comments (entered by Task Assignees in My Tasks screen) in a Report from Reporting Database. I would like to know the tables from where this information can be queried. Please note that the Notes
here are not Task level notes in Project Schedule. Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

Abhijit,
Please see Paul's reply to your other question, which describes how you can use Powershell with PSI to get this information.

Alternatively, you could also use it in SSRS as a data source, See here:

CRVS2010 beta - Date field from database does not display in report

Hi there - can someone please help?!
I am getting a problem where a date field from the database does not display in the report viewer (It displays on my dev machine, but not on the client machines...details given below)
I upgraded to VS 2010
I am using the CRVS2010 Beta
My development machine is Windows 7 - and so is my fellow developer's
We are using Microsoft SQL Server 2000
We run the queries within VS and then we send the data table to VS using .SetDataSource
We have a few reports which display the date on our dev machines (whether we run the EXE or from within Visual Studio)
When we roll out to the client machines (running Windows XP SP3) then everything works, except that the date does not display (on quite a few reports)
This is the only real issue I have had - a show stopper for me
The rest works well - any input will be greatly appreciated

Ridwan

Hi Ridwan,
After much testing I have it all working now using CRDB_adoplus.dll as a data source ( XML )
Alter your Config file to look like this:
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0"/>
</startup>
Then using the code below, and CR requires the Schema to be able to read the date format.
private void SetToXML_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument rpt = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
ISCDReportClientDocument rcd;
rcd = rptClientDoc;
string connString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=dwcb12003;Database=xtreme;User ID=sb;Password=password";
string sqlString = "Select * From Orders";
OleDbConnection oleConn = new OleDbConnection(connString);
OleDbDataAdapter oleAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(sqlString, oleConn);
//OleDbDataAdapter oleAdapter2 = new OleDbDataAdapter(sqlString2, oleConn);
DataTable dt1 = new DataTable("Orders");
oleAdapter.Fill(dt1);
System.Data.DataSet ds = new System.Data.DataSet();
// We need the schema to get the data formats
ds.WriteXml("c:
sc.xml", XmlWriteMode.WriteSchema);
//Create a new Database Table to replace the reports current table.
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table boTable = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table();
//boMainPropertyBag: These hold the attributes of the tables ConnectionInfo object
PropertyBag boMainPropertyBag = new PropertyBag();
//boInnerPropertyBag: These hold the attributes for the QE_LogonProperties
//In the main property bag (boMainPropertyBag)
PropertyBag boInnerPropertyBag = new PropertyBag();
//Set the attributes for the boInnerPropertyBag
boInnerPropertyBag.Add("File Path ", @"C:\sc.xml");
boInnerPropertyBag.Add("Internal Connection ID", "{680eee31-a16e-4f48-8efa-8765193dccdd}");
//Set the attributes for the boMainPropertyBag
boMainPropertyBag.Add("Database DLL", "crdb_adoplus.dll");
boMainPropertyBag.Add("QE_DatabaseName", "");
boMainPropertyBag.Add("QE_DatabaseType", "");
//Add the QE_LogonProperties we set in the boInnerPropertyBag Object
boMainPropertyBag.Add("QE_LogonProperties", boInnerPropertyBag);
boMainPropertyBag.Add("QE_ServerDescription", "NewDataSet");
boMainPropertyBag.Add("QE_SQLDB", "False");
boMainPropertyBag.Add("SSO Enabled", "False");
//Create a new ConnectionInfo object
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo boConnectionInfo =
new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo();
//Pass the database properties to a connection info object
boConnectionInfo.Attributes = boMainPropertyBag;
//Set the connection kind

//*EDIT* Set the User Name and Password if required.
boConnectionInfo.UserName = "";
boConnectionInfo.Password = "";

// - Set the Table Name properties.
// - Set the table location in the report to use the new modified table
boTable.Name = "Orders";
boTable.QualifiedName = "Orders";
boTable.Alias = "Orders";
rptClientDoc.DatabaseController.SetTableLocation(boTables[0], boTable);
//Verify the database after adding substituting the new table.

Data from different databases in the same report.

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to build a reconciliation report in which I need to show the data from the source and target, side by side.
Source and target are both different databases, although being oracle only
Whenever a new data model is created, it gets attached to a data source and in the report we need to choose a specific data model.
Can we have data from different databases in the same report ?

Yes, it is possible.
One way Is to use dataTemplates. There you can make queries from any number of different databases (The max I have done is 5).
It looks something like that:
<dataTemplate name="NameOfTemplate">
<dataQuery>
     <sqlStatement name="Q1" dataSourceRef="Connection1">
          <![CDATA[     select * from table1]]>
     </sqlStatement>
     <sqlStatement name="Q2" dataSourceRef="Connection2">
          <![CDATA[     select * from table2]]>
     </sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
<dataStructure>
     <group name="RESULT1" source="Q1">
          <element name="P_FIRST_NAME" value="P_FIRST_NAME"/>
     </group>
     <group name="RESULT2" source="Q2">
          <element name="P_DATE" value="P_DATE"/>
     </group>
</dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>dataStructure is very important when you get data from different places, if you don't define those elements, then only the result from Q1 is shown.
The second possible way is to make as two different data models, each containing their own query and then set Main Data Set as concatenated SQL Data Source.
Best of luck,
Evelyn

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.

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.

Task Quantity in Custom Reports Data Package

Task Quantity in Custom Reports Data Package
Using the Custom Reports Data Package how can you report on task quantity? Neither the ServiceTaskFact nor the RequisitionTaskFact tables have quantity as a query item.

Hi David,
Thanks for your question. The good news here is that this is a common use case and can be addressed using standard Cognos functionality. Here are some general instructions for you and others who might be reading this post with a similar need. These instructions are for Cognos Query Studio.
Build your report and drag a column/fact that is unique to the record onto the work area – I used TaskID.
Highlight the TaskID column.
From the left side menu, click Edit Data

Task Total Slack Calculated values mismatching with the values in reporting database

Hi,
We require 'Task Total Slack' as one of the items in a report for Project Server 2010. We're developing the reports using SSRS wherein the SQL Queries are fired on the reporting database of Project Server 2010.
We've come across a situation wherein the total slack values from reporting database for tasks are mismatching with the values that are seen in either PWA or Project Professional for total slack field. We also could not find a consistent factor by which
the slack is multiplied for reflecting in the database in case the Slack in days was being converted into Hours in reporting databse.
Is there a definite way that these values are being represented in reporting database which is quite different from the way these values are seen in Project Professional? Please help resolving this issue.

Hi Abhijit PS,
Can you give an example of the mismatch? Also you could tell us if this is happening for all tasks and all projects. Your concern may be seen from 2 different points of view:
Either this is indeed a bug with a slack of 2 days for example in Project Pro and 4 days in your report from the reporting DB. In this case, you should check if the projects have been published correctly and if the Reporting DB is correctly sync'ed with
the draft DB.
Or it could be the normal behavior and it is just a matter of finding why. For example, the durations are stored in the DB in minutes, meaning that a 1day duration might be stored as 480 if you have 8 working hours in a day (8*60).
Hope this helps,

Crstal Reports: "Failed to retrieve data from the database"

Running a report in crystal report from SAP 8.81 using the following parameters: CardCode, GroupCode, Date gives the following error: "Failed to retrieve data from the database" "Conversion failed when to converting the nvarchar value to data type int 12/31/2005 [Database vendor code: 245] ".
The store procedure in SQL Server executes smoothly and If you run the report with the date = 12/31/2005 in the parameter also returns expected results.
Thanks.

Hello,
Is this in Business One? If so CR is an OEM build and that forum/product supports that version.
Please post your question to: http://forums.sdn.sap.com/index.jspa#44
It could simply be you need to use a formula to convert the field. Click on the Formula Editor and the hit the F1 key and search on "date". Lots of info on how to convert todate and from date tostring...
Thank you

Failed to retrieve data from the database using Crystal Reports XI R2

I am using Crystal reports XI R2 and using the Universal Web Connector (connecting to Coghead). When I put some some of the fields from the database and run Preview I get "Failed to retrieve data from the database." . Where is this message coming from and how can I track down what the issue is?

Hi Jamie,
When you are trying to Browse Data of a field it is not poping up any window menas, it is unable to interact with database and get the data from database.
Try to create a new report using ODBC with Xtreem Sample Database. If you get the data in your report without any error then your connector is not working / unable to pull the data into your report.
You can find the supported platforms document in below link

Report error "Failed to retrieve data from the database."

Post Author: tknorst
CA Forum: .NET
I have an application using CR XI R2, and on certain users computers when they try to run a report they get the following error:
Failed to retrieve data from the database.Details: [Database Vendor Code: 229]Failed to retrieve data from the database.Error in File C:\DOCUME1\turkj\LOCALS1\Temp\WhseEmpJobAndActivityByUserAndDate {22DA2F53-4391-4307-9F2A-0E3C3EBE2198A}.rpt
The report uses SQLOLEDB (ADO) and integrated authentication - it runs fine on the development machine.
I found very little info on this error on the web (google) - so I hope someone here has an idea.

You need to make sure that those systems can get conneted to the database that is supposed to return data. To check that create a udl in clients machine.
Also do not change the schema of he report.

Reporting database creation without purging any data

We want to create a reporting database where no 'Purge' operation can be performed & all the records will be retained .Production DB & reporting DB are at different geographic location.In this scenario; what tool should be used for replication ? Can we achieve this using Data guard ? Can streaming be done over the WAN ? Does streaming has lot of overheads due to which performance may get hampered

Can we achieve this using Data guard ? no
Can streaming be done over the WAN ?sure
Does streaming has lot of overheads due to which performance may get hamperedin a downstream scenario, all you have to do is to transport the archivelogs to other site, both capture and apply is done on the target site, no overhead on source site (however processing can be quite demanding on the target site)
you can write your own DDL/DML handlers according to your needs

Creating BAM report using data of two database tables. Say "EmployeeTable" and "DepartmentTable

I want to populate data from two database tables into a BAM report. I have created two data objects for the tables and want to create 3rd data object so that it can take the data from the other data objects automatically. Is there any such facility within BAM?

Hi
1. I am not sure if you have option to combine multiple DataObjects like that.
2. For your scenario, on Database side itself, I would recommend Create a VIEW that joins these 2 Tables and pull the required Columns and add required conditions. Verify the VIEW has all the rows expected.
3. Then create DataObject for this View. Once you have DataObject, create the Report.
Thanks

Arabic data from Sybase database fails to display correctly in Crystal Reports XI

Post Author: shajad
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
In Crystal Reports XI, reports created with a ODBC (SQL server) connection to a Sybase data source fails to show Arabic data correctly. Arabic data is stored in Sybase under character set Windows-1256, but fails to display as Arabic in Crystal Reports 10. Some junk values like 'ÕæÑÉÇáÓÌá ÇáÊÌÇÑí ÓÇÑíÉÇáãÝÚæá' appears in the report.
How can I resolve this issue? Please help me with a solution.

Hi Raju
Please let us know the following information:
- Exact version of Crystal Reports.
- The type and the version of the database.
- Connection i.e. ODBC, OLEDB or Native used to connect your database with Crystal Reports.
- Are you able to create and refresh newly created report using the same database?
- If you are using ODBC connection, please download the SQLCON32 test utility and try to fetch the data from the database using the query from the "Show SQL" from Crystal Reports and let us know the outcome.
Hope this helps!
