Trying to programmatically set the data-source for a Crystal reports report.

I've got the following existing procedure that I need to add to in order to programmatically set the data-source (server, database, username, and password) for a Crystal reports report.
 I added the connectionInfo parts, but can’t figure out how to attach this to the existing
this._report object.
This is currently getting the connection data from the report file, but I now need to populate this connection data from a 'config.xml' text file.
Am I trying to do this all wrong?
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine;
using WGS.Reports.Reports;
using CrystalDecisions.Shared;
using WGS.Reports.Forms;
namespace WGS.Reports
public class ReportService
ReportClass _report;
ParameterFields paramFields;
ConnectionInfo connectionInfo; // <- I added this
public ReportService()
public void DisplayReport(string reportName, int allocationNo)
if (reportName.ToLower() == "allocationexceptions")
this._report = new AllocationExceptions();
PrepareConnection(); // <- I added this
PrepareAllocationExceptionReport(allocationNo);
this.DisplayReport();
private void PrepareConnection() // <- I added this
//test - these will come from the config.xml file
this.connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
this.connectionInfo.ServerName = "testserv\\test";
this.connectionInfo.DatabaseName = "testdb";
this.connectionInfo.UserID = "testuser";
this.connectionInfo.Password = "test";
this.connectionInfo.Type = ConnectionInfoType.SQL;
private void PrepareAllocationExceptionReport(int allocationNo)
this.paramFields = new ParameterFields();
this.paramFields.Clear();
ParameterField paramField = new ParameterField { ParameterFieldName = "@AllocationNo" };
ParameterDiscreteValue discreteVal = new ParameterDiscreteValue { Value = allocationNo };
paramField.CurrentValues.Add(discreteVal);
paramFields.Add(paramField);
private void DisplayReport()
frmReportViewer showReport = new frmReportViewer();
showReport.ReportViewer.ReportSource = this._report;
showReport.ReportViewer.ParameterFieldInfo = paramFields;
showReport.ShowDialog();
showReport.Dispose();
Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Trying to change the data source for a Crystal Report.

    <p>The method below represents my best attempt to programatically change the data source of a Crystal Report. The goal is to have a routine that will update the data source for reports after they have been distributed to production servers. So far I have not been successful in saving the report back to the CMS. No exceptions are thrown, but when I view the Database Configuration of the report in the CMC nothing has changed.
    </p>
    <p>
    Am I missing a step, or is there another way to accomplish this?

    <p>Justin,</p>
    <p>
    Thank you for the reply. Time constraints have not allowed me to post back to this tread
    till now. I will try your suggestion. My assumption is that <i>Save the report back to the
    info store</i> refers to <span class="code">IInfoStore.commit(IInfoObjects)</span>.
    </p>
    <p>
    I'm afraid that I do not understand why I don't want to change the report client document,
    or why <i>successfully exporting the report with the new login/password</i> is not what I
    want to do. Any explanation on that statement would be appreciated.
    </p>
    <p>
    I did find a way to accomplish my goal. It involved adding the SSOKEY property to the
    logon property bag. Below you'll see my revised code which modifies the report logon and
    server. I have no idea what
    this does, and SAP support has not been able to tell me why it works. However, what I
    discovered is that if I changed the report option, <b>Database Configuration -> When
    viewing report:</b>, in the CMS to <span class="bi">Use same database logon as when report
    is run</span> from <span class="bi">Prompt the user for database logon</span>, then the
    SSOKEY property had been added to the logon property bag having an empty string as its
    value. This allowed me to successfullyupdate and save the modified logon back to the CMS.
    </p>
    <p>
    So I took a chance and added code to always add the SSOKEY property with an empty string
    as its value, and I could then successfully modify and save the report's logon info
    and server. Again, I don't know what this means, but it has worked so far. If anyone has
    some insight or comments, either are welcome. Thank you in advance.

  • How to set up data source for JDeveloper's embedded OC4J Server?

    Help needed. I Created a BMP EJB and tried to test
    it with JDeveloper's( version 9.0.3) embedded
    OC4J server. For JDBC, I created a data source
    in data-source.xml lacated in JdeveloperHome\j2ee\home\config. However,
    when I run the test client. I got the error
    from JNDI lookup:
    java.rmi.RemoteException: jdbc/entdatasource not found
    Could anybody with similar experience help?
    Thank you in advance.
    -John Wang

    Try making your changes in the data-source.xml located @ JDev_root\jdev\system9.0.3.1035\oc4j-config.
    You can tell that this is the one to be modified by watching the log when you start the OC4J server. Look for the line that says C:\JDEV\JDK\bin\javaw.exe -ojvm -classpath . . .
    the -config option will point to where the server.xml is used from, the same dir should be where you get your data-source.xml

  • What is the data source for cProjects hierarchy texts 0CPR_GUID?

    The cProjects hierarchy will not display texts, only the technical name. I believe I must extract the texts for BW InfoObject 0CPR_GUID. I can not identify the text counterpart to 0DPR_HIERARCHY_ATTR data source for BW InfoObject 0CPR_GUID.
    Questions:
    1) What is the technical name for the text data source of BW InfoObject 0CPR_GUID?
    2) Is this data source included in NetWeaver 04?
    Thanks you for your help,
    John Hawk

    The Answer:
    The project element data sources must be mapped to both the project element infosoure AND 0CPR_GUI_TEXT.
    For each data source
    0DPR_APPROVAL_TEXT to 0CPR_APPROVAL_TEXT and 0CPR_GUID_TEXT
    0DPR_CHECKLIST_ITEM_TEXT to 0CPR_CHECKLIST_ITEM_TEXT and 0CPR_GUID_TEXT
    0DPR_CHECKLIST_TEXT to     0CPR_CHECKLIST_TEXT and0CPR_GUID_TEXT

  • Setting a data source for a tableView

    Greetings
    I'm trying to learn cocoa touch by following the Apple's code example called SQLiteBooks.
    there is a data source assignment within the MasterViewController code:
    - (void)loadView {
    tableView = [[[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame] style:UITableViewStylePlain] autorelease];
    tableView.delegate = self;
    tableView.dataSource = self;
    self.view = tableView; }
    Can anybody explain how "tableView.dataSource = self" associates an NSArray "books", which actually has the data, with this tableView?
    Best regards,
    -Eugene

    I can give you a Cocoa-specific answer. Unfortunately, with the new iPhone SDK there are tons of new people posting questions about the iPhone. That is why I didn't respond yesterday. My answer may or may not make sense for the iPhone.
    When you setup a data source, the table view will call two methods on that data source to get data. It will call "numberOfRowsInTableView:" to get the number of data elements and "tableView:objectValueForTableColumn:row:" to get a specific value for a cell.
    Your data source should implement those methods and return data for the table view to dipslay.
    Full details are available in Apple's documentation

  • Cannot set up data source for SQL Server 2005

    Is it possible to use Microsoft's Beta 2 version of the SQL Server 2005 JDBC driver with WebLogic 9.0? I've downloaded the driver and added it to my server classpath, but when I try to create a new data source using the admin console, the drop-down list for Microsoft SQL Server only contains drivers for the 2000 version. If I select "Other" from the list and try to move on, I get a cryptic, page-long error on the admin console. If I just select the 2000 driver and try to manually modify the parameters on the next set of screens, I still get errors when I try to test the configuration. I've successfully used a third-party driver before, but this one does not seem to be working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Sabrina

    Regards,
    SabrinaHere I describe the steps I took to bypass the console in making a new pool.
    1 - Edit the script %DOMAIN_HOME%\bin\startWebLogic.cmd to add a line like this:
    set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;\new_ms_driver\beta2\sqljdbc_1.0\enu\sqljdbc.jar
    In other words, you have to explicitly add a third party driver's classes to
    the CLASSPATH that will be in effect for the server. Just adding the driver
    to your window's class path will do nothing.
    2 - Go to the directory %DOMAIN_HOME%\config\jdbc, where you will find
    files of the name *-jdbc.xml. Each of these represents a DataSource.
    Copy one of them, perhaps either examples-demo-jdbc.xml, or
    examples-demoXA-jdbc.xml depending on whether you want to make an XA
    or non-XA pool. Make you new file's name like the name of the DataSource,
    still ending in -jdbc.xml. Eg: MS_Beta-jdbc.xml
    3 - Edit this file to change as much as would be clear for the
    driver you want. Eg: change the driver class to the class you want,
    the user name, URL, test table etc. Also, change the pool's initial
    capacity to 0. This is so the pool can be created without making a
    connection. We need that because the password is encrypted, and
    there is no manual way for you to add the correct one yet.
    4 - go one directory up, and edit the config.xml. Find a
    jdbc-system-resource entry corresponding to the original
    resource file you copied. Make a new entry in the config file,
    like the original, but change the Datasource name to your new one.
    5 - If this all went well, reboot your server and go to your data
    source in the console, and edit it. Alter the password to what it
    really should be, and you can also change whatever else you might
    want.
    6 - shut down again, and reboot, and you should then be able to go to
    your data source in the console and test a connection.
    That's it. Here is an example of a jdbc.xml file I made, and
    the entry I made in the config.xml:
    config/jdbc/newpool-jdbc.xml:
    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

  • Setting the data source of an External List to a WCF Web Service

    From SharePoint Online, I want to create/connect an External List to a SQL Azure data source.  This will feed a Visio diagram so I want it to be able to refresh and dynamically retrieve

    I have a published WCF Web Service in place (Azure Website) connected to this database that consolidates data from multiple tables and returns a variety of generic lists.  From
    my readings, this should bypass the need for much of the security (e.g. secure store, etc...).
    Can I do this?  I'm not seeing an option to Create an ECT as in past versions to connect to this endpoint.  Do I have to create something in Visual Studio to Import?  Any direction
    would be much appreciated.<o:p></o:p>

    Find and increase these variables in IIS: maxRequestEntityAllowed and uploadReadAheadSize
    I had a similar issue a while back due to these settings.  They control data to and from ISAPI connections (of which CF is one) according to this article:
    http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/serverruntime
    Sorry, I cant recall off hand where exactly those settings are in IIS but a quick Google search should turn it up for you.

  • How do I programmatically set the scale range for the two y-scales of the two plots

    hi,
    I am using labview 8.2
    To programmatically assign a range to the y-scale of a plot I use a Property Node for the plot display and adjust Y.Scale.Range.Minimum.
    How can I assign the ranges of a plot with multiple y-scales?
    miethe

    One of the problems with using two Y scales is that the display can get very messy is you also want grids on the plot. To address this, I created the attached VI. After allowing the right axis to autoscale, it fine tunes the marker locations so the grid lines for the left and right side overlay each other.
    To use it all you have to do is write your data to the graph and then call this VI with a reference to the graph.

  • Changing the data source for PLD_ITEMS

    When you convert a PLD report to Crystal, it uses a table called PLD_ITEMS.
    First, where is this table located? I can't find it anywhere in our database.
    The reason is that this report now uses a data source called PLDReportSource. I need to change this report back to OLE DB ADO if at all possible, and at that point, i will most likely need the answer to the first question.
    Thanks all!

    I have this question too

  • Changing the data source of a Crystal Report

    Post Author: starmizzle
    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    We're running a trial of BusinessObjects XI Release 2 to see if it fits our needs.
    We were told that we could import and publish our existing Crystal Reports and then later on go back and change their data sources to point to new universes as they're built.
    So I've published a simple Crystal Report that I can run and modify through Infoview. And I've created a universe with the appropriate fields and calculations that it needs. So how do I force my published report to use the new universe as its data source instead of the system DSN it had when it was made?

  • How to set the Fascinate SD card as being the data source for ringtone selection.

    I want to select my ringtones from my Fasinate's SD memory card so that I can transfer already purchased Verizon ringtones to my new phone from my deactivated ones. How do I do that? My deactivated phone (BlackBerry Curve) had the ability to assign where data was stored and where each application got their data from when running. Thank you for any help.

  • When overriding the data source for a report in RAS-Error Using CRAS2008sp3

    ErrorCode:515 ErrorMsg:"This field name is not known.
    Details: errorKind
    ANy ideas.

    Need a LOT more info. Version, service pack, dev language, windows or web app?
    From the error mesage it indicates something has changed from the original data batabase table/filed info from what you are setting it too.
    Try verifying the report manually to see if all your log on info and database are still the same.
    Thank you
