Unable to refresh report in InfoView or CMC

Hi,
I am using OLE DB (ADO) connection to connect to MS SQL Server 2008 database and able to successfully refresh the report in Crystal Reports 2008 designer.
When I publish the report in BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1, and try to view the report in Info View or CMC, I get the following error message:
u201CThe database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect.u201D
I am using Windows AD authentication to login to BusinessObjects.
Option u201CUse original database logon information from the reportu201D is selected under u201CDatabase Configurationu201D for the report.
Under u201CWhen viewing report: u201C, I have selected u201CUse same database logon as when report is runu201D
Does anyone know what is the resolution for this error message.
Thank you.

Hi,
this is not exact your error message, but maybe it helps. Check SAP Note - 1344438

Unable to refresh reports in InfoView or CMC

Recently we went from CR10/ePortfolio to CR2008/Infoview. Now when I publish a report to BOEnterprise and try to refresh that report in InfoView or the CMC it fails with the following message: Error: The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect.
The report runs fine from the designer, whether it is run from the network or the Report Application Server (Enterprise). When I publish the report I select the "Use original database logon information from the report" option in the Database Configuration utility. Although, I have tried all of the settings to no avail. The DSN resides on the server as a System DSN and tests successfully.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All,
I have Crystal Reports Server XI R2 installed on a server and the database folder (foxpro) is located on a different server. Crystal is connected to the database using an ODBC connection (UNC path).
When I try to preview a report in Infoview or CMC I get the following error: "There was an error retrieving data from the server: The table 'dp' could not be found. Error in File C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\{BC665D6D-95DE-426B-A7A2-EBF9D23F42F4}.rpt: The table could not be found."
dp is the name of one of our tables.
If I publish a report that uses sql database or a foxpro db that is located on the same server as Crystal Server I donu2019t receive any error message..
Please help if you can and thanks in advance.

Unable to Export report from InfoView

Hello, I have a remote user who is trying to export a report from InfoView to an Excel file and when she does she gets the following error..
Your request was refused because you do not have the right 'Right To Download' on report 'frs://Input/a_005/014/000/3589/83453a9daf64d2.rpt'. Please ask your system administrator to grant you this right.
I suspect it may be a problem with the activex plugin but i'm not sure. Does anyone know where I can find the plugin so I can ask her to reinstall or does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Hi Rod,
You might want to check the users rights in the CMC first.
There are a couple of rights which might be denied to the user
'Download files associated with the report'
'Export the report's data'
To check these you will need to look at the user security for the folder in which the report is located. The rights are assigned under content, Crystal Reports.

We are running BO XI release 2. I can run any report in Desktop Intelligence, but when I publish it and try to run it through Infoviewer I get the following error:
Connection or SQL sentence error: (DA00005): [Exception: CS, Bad Value for Field: Single Sign-On failed because the required components have not been property initialized.
Can anyone please assist?
Thank you.

Hey folks,
i suppose we are facing the same error. But where do i check if the key for the server-side integration kit has expired? There is no explicit key in our CMC.
We use BOE XI 3.1.
Thanks in advance!

Delivers unable to refresh Report through Cache Seed

Hi
I am using delivers to refresh the Oracle BI cache.
I have created a Report & run the report, saved.
Cache was enabled at this moment. Now the report was cahed.
I have created a iBot on this report and sheduled.
After this... i updated one of the values of column in database.
Now i try to schedule the report as i thought that the cache will be refreshed.. for this iam checking the check box "Oracle BI Server Cache" Cache Seeding option present in Destination tab of Delivers. When i fired my iBot at this moment i am unable to get the updated records which means the cache is not refreshing...
Can you explain procedure how to refresh the Oracle BI Server Cache.
What is the Cache seeding..?
Thank You..
G. Kishore

Seeding cache means you are employing a mechanism (manual or automatic) to pre-populate the cache entries so your first user(s) don't have to wait for data to be displayed on the screen.
To seed a cache one presumes the cache is empty -- at least for the entries in question. You might have some data that changes yearly ... so you never remove those cache records unless the year is done. You might have daily data that you need purged and re-seeded every morning. You might have such good database query/network/BI Server performance that your users will actually perform the seeding for you (but then it can be argued why have the cache at all); but usually the DB/network/BI Server performance is such that we want to cache data, purging and re-seeding as needed.
Also keep in mind: caching is the LAST step in a comprehensive OBIEE performance strategy.

Unable to refresh report field definitions in CR XI

My report is using Java Bean class as datasource and the Java Bean class calls a report-specific Java program to return a result set.
In the Field Explorer, I can see the fields of the result set under Database Fields tree.
I modified the Java program to add a new field in the result set; went to Crystal Report Designer, clicked Database menu and selected Verify Database. The program ran without error but I did not see the new field in the Field Explorer.
Can anyone tell me how to refresh the report schema to show the field I added?
The temporary solution is to create a new rpt file, use the Java Bean class to call the modified program to populate the new field along with old ones. However, I am forced to redraw the report layout which is a real pain.
Can somebody help?

After modifying the Java program, have you recompiled your java file?
After recompiling you will need to restart the designer to see reflected changes.
Thanks,
Tej

Unable to refresh webi report in live office

I have a webi report and using live office, i want to create a dashboard,
i can able to refresh this webi report in infoview but can't in live office, giving an error not sufficient rights. what are the rights to be modified to refresh this report in live office? using the same user id, why a webi report can be refreshed in infoview and not in live office?
can anybody help me.
Thanks in advance
Krishna

Hi Krishna.
Take a look at SAP Note 1461825 - Error "You do not have sufficient rights to refresh data from the specified report (LO 26314)
Resolution
   0. Login to the Central Management Console (CMC).
   0. Goto Folders and expand All Folders -> Goto the User Security of the Folder where the document is stored.
   0. Select the User Group that needs permissions for refreshing the document -> Assign Security -> Advanced Tab -> Click on Add/Remove Rights
   0. Expand Content
   0. Select Crystal Report -> Grant Refresh the report's data.
Strangely enough you need a authorization component from Crystal side when you operate outside WebI
Best regards,
Janne

Unable to refresh a crystal report on BOE which connect to an excel

Hi,
I have a crystal report which connect to an excel sheet on network. I am able to open it locally and refresh it. But after I upload it to the BOE, open it from infoview, I am not able to refresh it. it prompts for the database connection info.
I created an ODBC connection (choose MS excel and point to the excel file on network drive) on the BOE Server, it did not ask me for the login info and the server is responding. I also added this connection to BOE. But when I refresh the report from either infoview or CMC, it ask me for the database connection info with user login.
What should I do to solve this?
Thanks,
Vicky

Hi,
The data source is an excel sheet in a network drive. I am able to refresh this report from my client computer, but after upload it to BOE, the report cannot be refreshed. The datasource configuration of this report is like the following:
Server:
server1\folder\excel.xls
Database:
server1\folder\excel.xls
User:
Password:
Because no user name and password are required to open the excel, I leave it blank. But when I refresh the report, it said that "the database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect."
How can I be able to refresh this report from BOE?
Thanks,
Vicky

USER UNABLE TO REFRESH DISCOVERER REPORT IN DISCOVERER DESKTOP 10g

Dear All,
HELP!!!
A new user is unable to refresh discoverer Reports in Desktop. All priviledges have been granted to username in Disco Admin and Usre is able to log into oracle Apps.
On the PC the user logged into someone else can log into Discoverer Desktop and run/refresh discoverer reports without any issues. Hence Ithink neither the PC nor the Discoverer installation is the problem.
Can anyone help? What setup/profile needs to be completed in order for the user to be able to run Disco reports.
Pls note that the following has been completed:
1. Business Areas Assigned to user and his responsibilities.
2. Desktop/Plus Privileges assigned.
3. Allow administration - DISABLED - NOT TICKED
Many thx
DI

Does this person just need to run reports? Or does this person also need to create reports? If the person just needs to run reports, try using Viewer for that person, rather than Desktop. This may be something that you need to log a service request with Oracle to get resolved. Pretty strange that can bring items into a new worksheet, but it won't run. Maybe there is an Oracle applications security issue (since logging in as another person does work)? You may be beating your brains out trying to find a Discoverer problem when it might be an application security problem. Though this is a wild guess on my part.

Unable to refresh a report in P21 Activant

We recently upgraded our Activant P21 (Prophet 21) software which includes Crystal Reports. Standard P21 canned reports in their software can be viewed, exported and printed. The P21 software includes a feature to create and link custom reports. We create the custom reports with Crystal Reports 2008 and set up the external report links. We can open, view, print and export the custom reports but when we refresh the report with or without an input parameters, we are prompted for a "Database Login" password. When we enter our password, an error message titled "Crystal Report Windows Forms Viewer" states "Logon Failed. Please try again". We have contacted Activant about this issue and they do not find any errors in the set up. They have told us there is probably an issue with Crystal Reports and asked us to contact your company. We have also contacted a friendly competitor who uses the same Activant P21 software and create custom reports with Crystal Reports 2008 which include user input parameters. Their custom reports work without a glitch. What would prevent us from refreshing a custom Crystal report?

Hi Don,
Activant P21 is insisting our issue is a Crystal problem. We are unable to refresh the reports inside their software. We have tried every user id and password we know and it still will not refresh our CR report.
When we use CR2008 to refresh a report, a window opens titled "OLE DB (ADO)" and asks to choose a data source "ODBC Data Source....Choose a data source from the list" We select our ODBC DSN: P21 Live and click next. Another window opens titled "OLD DB (ADO) asking for a password "Connection Information...Provide necessary information to log on to the chosen data source." At this point it does not matter what "User ID" or "Password" we use, the report will refresh. We have used the Adminstrator with a password, we used my user name and password and we used the administrator without a password and in all three instances, the report refreshed with the correct data.
I don't see how this is a Crystal problem unless there is something I am missing. Any help you can provide will be deeply appreciated.

Infoview - unable to view report

Hi
I'm trying to view a crystal report (XI) through infoview. The report file is there, but when try to view it through infoview, i receive the following message:
Unable to retrieve Object.
Function expected
I've tried all of the different viewers to no avail and i can't find any help on the help files or on here hence the reason for my question.
Any help greatly appreciated
Craig

Hi,
To view the folder you have to give the root folder rights too not only on the folder where report is available.
You can refer the Admin guide for more information.
If you just want to view the report in infoview then you can add the created user to the Administrator group and then can view the report in Infoview.

How to kill/stop a report from InfoView/CMC ?

Hi All,
I have CRS2008 v1 environment running reports against Sybase database. Users run reports from Infoview. I would like to know what the best way to kill or stop a report that has been triggered from Infoview? Kill the spid from sybase or is there a way to kill it from Crystal?
Thanks
Ajith

I want to kill reports run by users if they affect the system performance due to large volume. In that case the stored procedure that the report uses to select data might run for longer periods and I want to able to kill that process. So the question is which is better ?
1. Kill the spid for that report stored procedure in Sybase
2. Stop/delete the report instance from crystal if it is possible.
