TCP active open: Failed connect()

hi all,
i receive error from my email like
"TCP active open: Failed connect()x.x.x.x :25(No formatted text for errno = 111)"

Hi Mustapah,
if the error is in the email, then the hostname and/or IP address of the reporting server/appliance should be in there.
I suggest you try to look up the message in message tracking of your IronPort's GUI, this will tell you if the message was received by your appliance(s), and also if it was bounced on the appliance or on a different server.
Hope that helps,
Andreas

I have been getting this above error on my mail server from last

send any mails using Outlook but I did check with my test user I can
send mail by using webmail.

I tried stopping and starting msg service using stop-msg and start-msg to sort out this above problem but no result. :(
When I do check the tcp_local queue it has been growing every day as well the tcp_notification queue also.

One more thing is that I cant see a service/channel called CONVERSION running on my server when i do use this command.
ps -aef | grep conversion
root 6144 6000 0 11:14:28 pts/1 0:00 grep conversion
When i try to start it using imsimta qm utility, output shows as
qm.maint>; start conversion
QM-I-STARTED, channel was not stopped
qm.maint>;
Later I stopped and started conversion channel
qm.maint>; stop conversion
QM-I-STOPPED, channel stopped
qm.maint>; start conversion
QM-I-STARTED, channel started
qm.maint>;
I can see that on other servers the conversion channel is running and few msges are in queue. I do have other servers which running the same messaging server. But I am not getting why don't on this server. Where both servers having the same configuration.
Please, help me to sort out this issue.
Thanks in advance....

SpamAssassin / Amavisd tuning - TCP active open: Failed connect() errors

I started this post as we were experiencing a problem with occassional delayed mail delivery to our mail store. As I continued writing it, I think that I've resolved it. But I wanted to post this anyway so if I'm doing things right it might help someone else; or, if I'm doing something wrong someone can correct me. :) For reference, we have a quad Sun v440, and process about 500,000 messages a day.
We were seeing messages like this in our log files:
09-Nov-2006 08:28:09.37 tcp_scan Q 1 [email protected] rfc822;[email protected] @tcp_scan-daemon:[email protected] TCP active open: Failed connect() Error: Connection timed out
example.com represents our local domain. The errors seemed to occur proportionally to the amount of incoming mail we received. That is, we saw more of them under load.
We are running SpamAssassin, Amavisd/clamav, and:
Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.2-5.01 (built Nov 22 2005)
libimta.so 6.2-5.01 (built 11:57:57, Nov 22 2005)
SunOS hostname 5.9 Generic_118558-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440
This line seems to say that the message is in the tcp_scan channel, and cannot send to 127.0.0.1:10024 (amavisd) because that port isn't listening.
My amavisd max_servers was set at 15. After reading http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/amavisd-new-magdeburg-20050519.pdf and making a wild guess, I increased it to 30. The errors were less frequent, but still occurred.
The output of 'sar -d' showed that my local disk was experiencing upwards of 80% utilization. I moved the amavisd temp directory and the spamassassin bayes db to a san volume, and that sped everything up dramatically. The connect errors went away, clamav avg time per message is at 4 seconds down from 10. I am now receiving errors from spamassassin that say:
Nov 9 10:27:27 hostname.example.com spamd[21601]: prefork: server reached --max-children setting, consider raising it
My --max-children is set to 25 right now, and the server is cpu bound under heavy load, so I see no reason to raise it.
So this is my setup. I am no longer having an immediate problem, but comments/questions are welcome.
Config files related to my setup are below.

Suggest dropping Amavis in preference to the built-in
integration, per our documentation. Simpler, more
performant.Sorry, my title wasn't very accurate. We are running SpamAssassin through the built in integration, and clamav through amavisd. There isn't any built in integration to clamav, is there?

TCP active open: Failed connect() Error: Connection timed out

Hi,
There is one message which can't be delieved to the recepient with error " TCP active open: Failed connect() Error: Connection timed out" This is the error that we found in the mail.log_current file.
I have no problem sending email to the same address from my hotmail account.
any suggestion ?
Thanks,
Joe

The message can only mean one thing. Your server cannot connect to that host.
It's possible that the remote system is lying to your Messaging Server, and that's gotten it confused. Some firewalls do this by repeating the entire capability string from the server behind them, but can't actually handle all the capabilities.
PIX firewalls do this.
When you connect, they pretend to be able to "startls", but if you try, they hang up. They appear to handle "EHLO", but when you try, they hang up.
You can put debugging on the tcp_local channel, and see the actual conversation, if you like.
master_debug and slave_debug go into the imta.cnf definition line. MM_DEBUG=5 goes at the end of your option.dat file.
then
imsimta cnbuild
imsimta restart
will attempt to send the message. You will want to back the changes out, as you'll get lots of extra log files you really don't need.
Post the log file, and we can see what's happening.

TCP active open: Failed gethostbyname() ?

Cannot send mail to outside,but my dns is ok.
18-Jun-2005 08:43:56.87 tcp_local Q 1 [email protected] rfc822;[email protected] [email protected] TCP active open: Failed gethostbyname() on mta.21cn.com, resolver errno = 2
# nslookup -type=mx 21cn.com

Non-authoritative answer:
21cn.com preference = 10, mail exchanger = mta2.21cn.com
21cn.com preference = 20, mail exchanger = mta.21cn.com

dns.21cn.net internet address = 202.104.32.251

Please check your other network resolution configurations. resolv.conf, etc.
nslookup forces a DNS lookup. It's not exactly what the server does, the server issues an OS, "gethostbyname()" call, which looks at many of your configuration files. . .
What it's trying to tell you, is, "I can't find that host's ip address, when I ask the OS for it"

Your help is greatly appreciated.

You stated that you can ping ACS from the router, did you try sourcing the packets from the GigabitEthernet 0/0 interface (which is the one TACACS+ will try to use, given the configuration that you posted)?
What does the network path between the router and ACS look like (ie, any firewalls, NAT, etc)?
Can you connect to port 49 at the ACS IP address from the router sourcing the packets from GigabitEthernet 0/0 ?
Are you using VRFs?
What version of IOS?

"Failed to open the connection" problem related to multiple tables in the report?

Post Author: Gadow
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
System specifics:
Web environment using ASP.Net 2.0 (from Visual Studio 2005 Professional)
Crystal Reports 2008, v. 12.0.0.549, Full
We have set up the following method for displaying reports via our website:
User is sent to a report-specific page. The user is given some filtering options specific to the report that will be viewed. When the user has specified the data filters, the user clicks a button.
The page wraps up the report parameters -- selection query, formula values, report location, the name to be displayed, etc. -- into a class which gets put into the Session object.
The page redirects to DisplayReport.aspx. ALL reports redirect to this page.
DisplayReport.aspx retrieves the report parameters from Session. A ReportDocument object is created and loaded, then set with the data from the parameters class.
A ConnectionInfo object is created and set with the relevant log on credentials. All of the reports draw from the same database, so the connection information is hard-coded as the same for all reports. The page then iterates through all of the tables in the Database.Tables collection of the ReportDocument and calls ApplyLogOnInfo to each table using the ConnectionInfo object.
The page is rendered and the user gets the filtered report.
We currently have seven reports. Five reports work fine and display the correctly filtered data with no error messages. Two reports generate a Failed to open the connection error and do not display. I have verified that the queries being sent to DisplayReport.aspx are valid, and as I said the connection information itself is hard-coded in the one page that displays the reports and this is identical to all reports.
The five reports that do work all have a single data table, either an actual database table or a single view. The two reports that do not work all have multiple tables. As far as I can tell, this is the only difference between the sets; all seven reports are based on the same DSN and I have verified the database on all of the reports. All of the reports were written using Crystal Reports 8, and all of the reports display fine in a Windows app I wrote some years ago using Crystal Reports 8. Again, the only difference between those reports that do work and those that do not is the number of tables used in the report: one table or view in the reports that display, more than one table (tables only, none use views) in the reports that do not display.
As for the code I am using, below are the relevant methods. The function MakeConnectionInfo simply parses out the components of a standard SQL connection string into a ConnectionInfo object. DisplayedReport is the ID of the CrystalReportViewer on the page.Protected Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        Dim o As Object = Session("ReportParams")
        Dim ReportURL As String = ""
        'Verify that there is a ReportParameters object
        If o Is Nothing OrElse o.GetType IsNot GetType(ReportParameters) Then 'Redirect to the error page
            Response.Redirect("/errors/MissingReport.aspx")
        End If
        ReportParams = CType(o, ReportParameters)
        'Verify that the report exists
        ReportURL = "/Reports/ReportFiles/" + ReportParams.ReportName
        ReportPath = Server.MapPath(ReportURL)
        If Not File.Exists(ReportPath) Then
            Response.Redirect("/errors/MissingReport.aspx?Report=" + ReportParams.ReportTitle)
        End If
        InitializeReport()
    End Sub
    Protected Sub InitializeReport()
        Dim RD As New ReportDocument
        Dim CI As ConnectionInfo = MakeConnectionInfo(DB_Bonus)
        Dim RPF As CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterField = Nothing
        RD.Load(ReportPath)
        If ReportParams.SelectString <> "" Then
            Dim Adapt As New SqlDataAdapter(ReportParams.SelectString, DB_Bonus)
            Dim DS As New Data.DataSet
            Adapt.Fill(DS)
            RD.SetDataSource(DS.Tables(0))
        End If
        For Each kvp As KeyValuePair(Of String, String) In ReportParams.Formulas
            Dim FFD As FormulaFieldDefinition = Nothing
            Try
                FFD = RD.DataDefinition.FormulaFields(kvp.Key)
            Catch ex As Exception
                'Do nothing
            End Try
            If FFD IsNot Nothing Then
                Select Case FFD.ValueType
                    Case FieldValueType.DateField, FieldValueType.DateTimeField
                        If IsDate(kvp.Value) Then
                            FFD.Text = String.Format("Date()", Convert.ToDateTime(kvp.Value).ToString("yyyy, MM, dd"))
                        Else
                            FFD.Text = "Date(1960, 01, 01)"
                        End If
                    Case FieldValueType.StringField
                        FFD.Text = String.Format("""""", kvp.Value)
                    Case Else
                        'For now, treat these as if they were strings. If things blow up here,
                        'we will need to add the appropriate formatting for the field type.
                        FFD.Text = String.Format("""""", kvp.Value)
                End Select
            End If
        Next
        For Each T As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table In RD.Database.Tables
            Dim TLI As TableLogOnInfo = T.LogOnInfo
            TLI.ConnectionInfo = CI
            T.ApplyLogOnInfo(TLI)
        Next
        DisplayedReport.ReportSource = RD
    End Sub
Does this approach not work with reports containing multiple tables, or is there something I'm missing? Any meaningful suggestions would be much appreciated.

Failed to open the connection. Error in the Designer when copying ...

I have two different systems I am developing an application on.
I copy the entire directory from one system to the other. Both systems have the same environment:
Visual Studio 2010
Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 (the production release, or I think it is the vesion is 13.0.2.0 is the version on the assemblies)
SQL 2008 R2
Today, I started adding Crystal reports to this VS solution. I have a reportdriver class that exports all the reports to an HTTP Stream, but we can sit that aside for now. The problem I am having is strictly with the integrated designer.
I have a bunch of existing reports written for an old Sybase databse. I have ported them to SQL and the table structure matches. I simply add the report to my project, point it to the new datasource (using "Set Datasource Location" - OLE ADO SQL) and then preview the report to be sure it runs.
I am just using "localhost" as my server name for the OLE connection so I...in theory... don't have to change the data source to view it on the other system. Both systems have SQL 2008 R2 installed locally. For my login credentials, I use SQL Security and use the same database login/password on both development machines andthe production server.
Today, I copied my entire project to the other PC (as I do almost every day).. When I open any of the reports (in VS) and try to preview them I get:
Failed to open the connection.
Details: ADO Error Code: 0x80004005
Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provide for SQL Server
Description: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect().]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
SQL State: 08001
Native Error: 17 [Database Vendor Code: 17]
I can only guess that I am using two different OLE ADO drivers on the two systems or there is something embedded in the rport or somewhere in my solution that "knows" I am not really on the same system that I initially set them up on and previewd them with.
Am I on the right track? Any idea how I can fix this? Obviously, I don't want to have to setup the datasource for every report in my application (if I do that, the report works) when I copy it from the development to the production server.
I am in a real bind here and under a fast aproaching deadline. Any help is much appreciated!!!

Don't use localhost as your server name. It's a reserved name and should not be used in code.
Try this also [Kbase |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333533353333333433363339%7D.do] SAP Note 1553469 - How to enable Database logging in Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010

Crystal Server 2011 "Failed to open the connection" with 32 & 64 bit drivers are loaded

Brand new installation of Crystal Reports Server 2011 with CR Developer 2011 as well. Downloaded new Postgres and MySQL drivers for both the 32 and 64 bit ODBC definitions. Created a new report on the server to eliminate any migration driver incompatibility issues. Reports run fine in Developer but give the same "Failed to open the connection."
and still problems running the reports If I Save Data with the reports, I can click View to see the data, but they will not refresh.
All the articles I'm finding online seem to point to the issue with needing 32 & 64 bit drivers, but I've loaded both and built my ODBC connections with the 32 drivers in the SysWOW64 folder.
Logged in as Administrator. Any thoughts out there? Are there some new security measures?
Thanks in advance ...

Yes, Designer and CRS are on the same machine.
Good catch with the 5.1 driver. I loaded up the mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.13-win32 driver and used that. It alone failed when I made the ODBC connection with it. I see on the CRS 2011 Feature Pack 3 .pdf file that it says "Only 64-bit database connector middleware is supported" ... I downloaded the other mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.13-winx64 64bit file, but teh .msi and .zip versions failed on the load. Do I need that if it says that or should the first one be enough?
I've been trying to use a normal User DSN, no? Apparently I don't have access as a machine Administrator to do it as I get "You are logged on with non-Administrative privileges. System DSNs could not be created or modified." Having our server guys get that straightened out and we'll see. Had not heard of that actually but will give it a go.
You say I should create the DSN entries in the 64 bit version of the ODBC Data Source Administrator ... located in the system32 folder, not the SysWOW64 folder, where the 32 bit drivers are found, yes? Isn't that the "wrong" location to use I've been reading? Or are System DSNs different from a User DSN?
BIG thanks for the replies. I owe you beers!!!!!

CRS 2008 - Failed to open the connection.

I just recently installed the evaluation of CRS 2008 onto my server. I can access every function in CMC and can see all reports that were published in InfoView. However, when I attempt to view a report, I get an error that states "Failed to open the connection. <<Report_Name.rpt>> "
The server is a Windows 2003 R2 machine, with IIS 6.0 installed.
During installation, I had checked both IIS & Java (along with the installation of Tomcat 5.5)
I also installed Crystal Reports 2008, and all reports work perfectly in the developer. The database that the reports pulls data from is a Progress 9.1D database. Could the database be an issue even though I am connecting through an ODBC?

Yes, the DSN is a system DSN and is located on the server that Crystal Reports Server 2008 is installed on. The Progress driver is also loaded. That driver is the MERANT 3.60 32-bit Progress SQL92 v9.1D.
When I run the diagnostics, Web Intelligence Tier fails with the following error:
"Error creating Dataproviders. null - Error viewing Web Intelligence Document. Cannot initialize Report Engine server. (Error: RWI 00226) - Scheduling Web Intelligence Report failed. --Document: " Diagnostic Web Intelligence Document Test" not found."
I'm hoping this can shed some light on what is wrong.

I've seen all sorts of discussion on the intertubes about possible fixes however, none stated are practical or they do not address my error specifically. I've exhausted resources on the net as well as those available to me.
I'm currently running SAP Crystal Reports 2011 on WIN7 64bit and using Oracle in OraClient 10g_home1.
Please let me know what insight you have. I cannot roll back to previous versions of Windows nor less encryption.
Thank you for your time.
Thank you, again, for your time.

Error: Failed to open the connection

Hi all,
I have use Crystal Report 2008 to construct a report which access mySQL via ODBC. HOwever, I am fail to publish it to InfoView.
It always display the following error:
ERROR [PublishingService:HandlerPool-14] BusinessObjects_PublicationAdminErrorLog_Instance_2467 - [Publication ID # 2467] - Document job "Report2a.rpt" (id 2,475) scheduling failed: Failed to open the connection. ~tmp1356563301f0e10.rpt. (FBE60502)
My BOE(XI 3.0) is installed in SUSE Linux Enterprise 9 x86 and have tested the ODBC connection via isql and it can be connected.
Can anyone help to identify the problem? Or any procedure can be provided to publish the crystal report to InfoView.
Thank you so much.

CrystalReportViewer Failed to Open the connection Unable to retrieve Object

I am getting the following Error on trying to view a report in the CMC and the Infoview.
CrystalReportViewer
Failed to Open the connection. ReportName
Unable to retrieve Object.
Failed to open the connection. ReportName
I have recently re-installed Crystal Reports Server XI on a server after a disk failure. I had a backup of my CMS database. I reinstalled the Crystal Servwer without atttaching this database, however crystal did not create a new db so I attached my old one.
I have deleted all my old ODBC connections and recreated them with new names and then reconnected my reports in Crystal Reports XI using the "Set Datasource Location" option and the report works fine.But as soon as I try to view it after uploading it as an object onto the server, I get the above error.
Any help would be appreciated.

I am tagging into this unanswered question as well because I think I have a similar issue. In my case I have a report which runs correctly in Crystal Reports designer but when I move it to the scheduler it fails on a "Failed to connect" to the report. In have used "Set data location" to no avail. When I go to Admin Tools and look at the complete list of datasources for all my reports this particular datasource is listed twice. The group of reports under one of the datasources works correctly. The reports listed under the second datasource all fail. The two datsources are spelled exactly the same and when I sompare the database details for a successfull and a failing report using this datasource they are the same (in the console and in infoview).
I have also checked the ODBC connections on the Crystalserver and there is only one occureence.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

CR2008 - Failed to open the connection. Failed to open the connection. ...

Getting the following error when running CR2008 reports from web server:
"Failed to open the connection. Failed to open the connection. <report_name>{2585477E-FB02-4594-9DB5-FFBFF2ABE124}.rpt"
The web server is a Windows Server 2008 x64. The IIS7 application pool is configured for 32bit, which solved our initial problem. We are getting the above error if we use either CR2008 or CR2008 SP1. Same issue with CRRuntime_12_1_mlb.exe.
If we load CR2008 onto the web server, we can open and run the reports. Thus, there appears to be no problem with the reports or the data source (an Access database). Web application runs on development machine (windows xp).
Why is there a GUID in the report file name? How can we resolve this issue or what else should we check?
TIA, Gary.

Figured it out. Turns out the ODBC data source name had been setup incorrectly. Became obvious when stepping through the code.

Hi,
Following solution might help you to resolve the issue.
Solution1:
Issue happens because universe connection to the Database is not responding and the Data Source Name is not configured to write SQL Server 2005 database.
Resolution
Created new DSN connection under SYSTEM DSN to SQL Server 2005 Database.
Import the universe from the designer.
Go to File->Parameters.
Edit Connection.
On the Database Middleware Page expand SQl Server 2005->Select SQL Server 2005 driver.
Change the DSN to new DSN connection
Test the connection.
Save the Universe and Export it to the repository.
Solution2:
I am taking Oracle as an example over here.
This can be caused when the SQLNET.ora is located in a remote location using mapped drives.
Resolution
To resolve,
check the registry [HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORACLE] you should see a folder called HOME0
look for any paths that contain a mapped drive partition
Change the mapped drive letter to a UNC path (
server\folder)
Open a command prompt and do a tnsping using the tnsname and verify the location of the SQLNET.ora or TNSNAMES.ora
If the path is not updated to the new path
Reboot the server
