Use original database logon information from the report

When publishing reports to crystal reports server, the data source password is missing and reports as set to 'prompt the user for database logon'
Here is a description of our report creation process and how we currently set the db password.
Reports are created using Crystal Reports Designer XI Professional.
The data source is set up through the report wizard or manually to a sql db
using either a sql login or integrated authentication
the reports are then publish through the designer by going to File Save As - Choose Enterprise - then give
report server info.
From the CMC (crystal report server XI r2)
we go to the folder location,
select the report then go to the process tab
click on database sub tab.
we then set the database password and change the "When viewing reprot" setting to "Use same database logon as when report is run"
reports are run both ondemand through links to infoview and through a variaty of schedules.
How can we publish the reports to the Report Server without having to go to the CMC and set the database password, it doesnt' matter if we use sql login or integrated authentication, the result is the same.

Hi Mario,
some things you may want to consider.
1) Setting up SSO to the DB. If your install is on windows and DB is SQL or Oracle, you can integrate your logon with windows and pass that all the way down to the DB when viewing the report. This is fairly complex to set up initially but simple to use from then on.
2) DBuser and DBpass. You can populate user/pw fields associated with user account and then pass this value down to the DB. This can work with any DB instead of just SQL and Oracle. This doesn't appear to be documented yet. You may need to open a message with support if you need more details.
3) Create reports based of a universe. This will use the universe connection (set per universe) to access the DB. For more on this post a question in the crystal reports forums.
The kerberos SSO to the DB is documented in the [XI 3.0 admin guide|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_bip_admin_en.pdf]

Tim

They can open the same report from crystal designer.We have checked the database and it is pointing to correct one in process->database of CMC.
They have created the report with windows NT credentials.
Can any one help in this regard.
Thanks,
Gokul.

How did you set up NT auth on the report? With CR Designer I'd assume you are using a trusted connection? Which option did you choose in the CMC for DB credentials? Prompt, same login, or SSO (I don't have the CMC screen in front of me right now so I'm abbreviating the options)?

The database logon information for this report is either incomplete

Hello All
I have installed a full licensed version of crystal reports server 2008 onto a windows server 2003 virtual server.
I am getting the following error message when trying to run some reports when i am logged in as the adminstrator
'The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect.'
Some reports work and some dont, I use the same login information for all reports, same username and same password, same machine datasource and all the reports run fine in crystal designer 2008
The only difference i can see is that the error mainly occurs with reports that use stored procedures, the ones that dont work fine.
I not sure how to resolve this problem as i have tested the login and the datasoure and it works fine, just not through crystal reports server

Further to this i've realized that this only happens with reports which have been updated to use a stored procedure from a query file. And the reports dont use any repository objects

The migrated Crystal Report throws "The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect" error

[ENVIRONMENT]
Product version - BI4.1 SP03
OS - Windows 2008 R2
CMS Database - Oracle 11g
Java Application Server - Tomcat7
[ISSUE]
Using the Upgrade Management Tool to completely migrate a BOXI3.1 SP3+FP3.6 to BI4.1 SP03. The reporting database from both BOXI3.1 and BI4.1 are the same and so is the database logon credential.
When viewing and refresh a migrated Crystal Report, it throws "The viewer could not process an event. The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect. [] ---- Error code:0 [CRWEB00000119]" error in both BI Launchpad and "The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect" in scheduled job.
[STEPS TAKEN]
- Update the Database Configuration with the SAME Oracle database password in CMC and "The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect" issue goes away.
I search the SAP SMP and SCN forum and found no reference on this UMT and Crystal Report database logon problem. Hope any of you have seen this problem and share if there is an ADAPT for it.
Thank you in advance,

Hi,
The BI4.1 SP03 server and client and Crystal Report 2013 SP03 developer and Crystal Report for Enterprise 4.1 SP03 are all installed onto this Windows 2008 R2 server.
I am able to open the migrated report from CMS repository in Crystal Report 2013 SP03 developer and am able to refresh it with database logon password provided. After save it back to the Enterprise, the database logon password field for this report in CMC becomes empty so that I have to enter the database password and choose "Use same database logon as when report is run" when viewing and scheduling report.
What is interesting to me is that the UMT seems to migrate the report along the database logon password because I can see the encrypted password in the report database logon property in CMC. The workaround is to reenter the database logon password in the report database logon property in CMC.
With this said, there are hundreds of the Crystal reports and the workaround would consume lots of manual work by update each report's database logon password in CMC.
For other customers who have more crystal reports, I wonder if there is an automated way to update the crystal report's database logon password on BI4.1 or if this is an isolated incident on my new BI4.1 SP03 environment.
I run UMT in command line to perform livetolive migration, and my steps are listed below
cd "E:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\java\apps\upgradeManagementTool\jars\"
"E:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64\sapjvm\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx56g -Djava.library.path="..\..\..\..\win64_x64" -jar upgrademanagementtool.jar -internal_use_only_noversioncheck -responsefile LIVETOLIVEResponseFile.txt

We have published a crystal report (XI) to InfoView (XI R2 SP2) and we are getting the following error for the database login.
"The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect."
The report is working fine in Crystal Reports XI.
The report is using the OLE DB connection to ORACLE.
The same server is running WebI reports against the same ORACLE DB. Thanks

Hi,
We configure DSN with windows authentication and report in CMC has the configuration information like this
Server Name: Populated
Database: populated
User: Empty
Password: Empty
For the report to run, do we have 6400 to 6490 ports open?
we have port 1433 open between database and CR server but not the 6400 - 6490 ports open?
Thanks in advance

Prompting for the database logon while opening the report in CMC

I created a report and saved in the Crystal server 2008 repository. I set the default Database configuration as
report > Schedule > Database Logon > set password
or tick "Use same database logon as when report is run" in Default Settings > Database Configuration.
But when I am click on View for the report still it is promting for the database loging name and password.
is there any other settings required for this.
Thanks

How can I use Automator to extract information from the body of an email sent from a web form.. and the import it into Highrise?

I'm assuming that Automator is the way to go. I've never used it before but from research it seems to be the way to go. Also, I'm not good at programming at all.
Here's a typical email...

I have several hundred of these emails and I want to extract the information and then save it into my CRM which is Highrise (https://highrisehq.com). If it's too difficult to get it directly into Highrise then I'm aslo happy to extract the info into excel and the import into Highrise. However I do not want to have to run through that proceedure for every single email.
I'd really like some help on how to get Automator to do this for me. Or if not Automator.. any other suggestions?
Thanks.

Hello
You may try the following AppleScript script. It will ask you to choose a root folder where to start searching for *.map files and then create a CSV file named "out.csv" on desktop which you may import to Excel.
set f to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the root folder to start searching")'s POSIX path
if f ends with "/" then set f to f's text 1 thru -2
do shell script "/usr/bin/perl -CSDA -w <<'EOF' - " & f's quoted form & " > ~/Desktop/out.csv
use strict;
use open IN => ':crlf';
chdir $ARGV[0] or die qq($!);
local $/ = qq(\\0);
my @ff = map {chomp; $_} qx(find . -type f -iname '*.map' -print0);
local $/ = qq(\\n);

Crystal Report Error Failed to load Database logon Information

Hi Experts,
We developed a Crystal reports fetching data from a BI Query. When we run the report from Crystal Report Desginer it runs perfectly.
When I schedule the report in the CMC / Infoview, I am getting a error message saying:
"<REPORT NAME> Failed to load database logon Information."
We have checked the database configuration in CMC for this report. BI system hostname and the other necessary credentials are fine.
Please suggest us on how we go about understanding the cause of the error.

Credit Memo DFF does not contain information from the original invoice line

Hi
Customer is facing issue mentioned in Note: 364999.1
Issue: Created a credit memo against the invoice and noticed that the resulting credit memo lines do not contain the DFF information from the original invoice lines.
I found through Metalink that this issue was reported to Oracle for release 11.5.7.
Looks like the fix was to provide a check box in RAXSUMSC.fmb.
- One off Patch for 11.5.7 - Bug / Patch 2803629 (one-off patch)
- One off Patch for 11.5.8 - Bug / Patch 3411221 (one-off patch)
- 11.5.9 - nothing available !!!!
As per bug 2675652 the issue was fixed in a file RAXSUMSC.fmb, version 115.41 This BUG shows that it has been fixed by in 11.5.10
Customer is using 11.5.9 which has RAXSUMSC.fmb, version 115.40, we cant apply patches for 11.5.7 or 11.5.8 that are available.
Any pointers on what can be done ?
Thanks,

Hi Pat,
the project code (PC) on the marketing document may only be applied to the business partner (BP), hence the only row in the associated journal entry (JE) with this project code is that of the BP.
You can link project codes to specific accounts (CoA -> select account -> account details -> project code) & this project code will then be assigned every time the account is found in a JE.
If you require the project code to be applied to the freight, you may assign this project code to the account you have defined for this freight. The drawback is naturally that the project code will then be pulled every time this freight is used, regardless of whether or not the PC is associated with the BP or not.
It is possible to manually assign project codes to every row in a journal entry, hence this should also be possible with SDK. You might explore the possibility whether it might be possible to automatically assign the BP PC to all rows in the JE using a script.
All the best,
Kerstin

Use same database logon as when report is run

Is there a way to set the option for "When viewing report" to "Use same database logon as when report is run" for all reports?

If scheduling we have schedule manager in XIR2 which will do a folder at a time, it's been added to the CMC in 3.x I believe.
For running the reports I think you would need to use the [SDK|/community [original link is broken]; if if you wanted to modify a bunch of reports at the same time, or use the publishing wizard to publish a bunch of them (no use if the reports are already uploaded)

ProjectUID selected from the reporting database from Project Server OnPublished event is taking some delay

Hi all,
I'm invoking a stored procedure from the reporting database from the project server onPublished event. I'm having some issues in getting the details of that particular project from the published event handler. This i noticed that there is some
delay is taking place in moving the data(project uid ) from the published to the reporting database .
My stored procedure select statement is as follows:
SELECT ProjectUID, ProjectName FROM MSP_EpmProject_UserView
　WHERE ProjectUID=value
This stored procedure is invoked from the onPublished event of the project server event handler where that particular projectuid is passed in that stored procedure.I have noticed that some delay is taking palce to move the data into the reporting database.
My stored procedure got invoked from the onPublished event of the project server event handler before the delay is complete. So the row selected from the stored procedure is alwys zero (0). Is there any other method to wait for repoting database
to get refreshed. Please help me .

Hi sabithad,
The issue you are facing is because of the conflict of permissions, event handlers always works through administrative user credentials whereas the project is open in edit mode by the logged-in user. And you are tyring to update custom field at the back
end with Administrative credentials, while project queue is in process by logged-in users credentials. Its not gonna work this way :)
The best option is to use Javascript on your PDP using CEWP, you can either build your complete logic in JavaScript and place that code on your PDP. OR you can use the combination of JavaScript and PSI and create a webpart to be placed on PDP.
below blog link willgive you directions to go ahead with, but for sure the solution to your query is
JavaScript :)

Can i set my iPhone 4 as a new phone then use iCloud to get information from before restoring the phone?

Can i set my iPhone 4 as a new phone then use iCloud to get information from before restoring the phone? I've restored my iPhone 4 thru iTunes and now trying to set it up using iCloud but it says 'no back ups available'.
I was upgrading my OS system thru iTunes but the plug on my macbook came out and battery ran flat half way thru. This jammed my iPhone 4.
I think it's to do with the OS system. That if i take it to the previous OS system it might work. But since i'm in phone set up mode i can't get into general setting to change it back.
So can i set it up as a new phone and then use icloud to restore info? Or shld i set it up thru iTunes and then iCloud (but since it jammed half way thru upgrading and i've restored i don't think iTunes has any of my previous info)? Or is there something else i can do?

No. You can set up as a new device or restore from iCloud or iTunes. It looks like you backed up with iTunes, so you can't restore with iCloud. To backup your device in iCloud, go to Settings > iCloud and activate it
