Using a data source configured in Business View Manager?

Post Author: Rob
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hello,We're using Crystal Enterprise 10 service pack 6 on Server 2003 and I'm having a bit of a problem (surprise)! I've configured a data source in Business View Manager with the intention of the users not having to enter a password for the data source in a report. However, the data source has been stored in the repository but is not visible anywhere within Crystal Reports or the Enterprise web site at all. Any pointers as to the usage of said data source would be gratefully received!Thanks in advance,Rob

You created a datasource connection in the BV Manger and then what?Did you make the corresponding Data Foundation, Business Element, and Business View?You can only report off the business view not a datasource.

Using JDBC Data Sources with ADFBC, NoInitialContextException

Using JDBC Data Sources with ADF Business Components, NoInitialContextException
I follow the instruction in the link below to create an ADF Swing application using datasource. I am using JDeveloper version 10.1.3.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/howtos/10g/usingdatasources/using_datasources.html
The ADF generated code looks like this:
JUMetaObjectManager.setErrorHandler(new JUErrorHandlerDlg());
JUMetaObjectManager mgr = JUMetaObjectManager.getJUMom();
mgr.setJClientDefFactory(null);
BindingContext ctx = new BindingContext();
ctx.put(DataControlFactory.APP_PARAM_ENV_INFO, new JUEnvInfoProvider());
ctx.setLocaleContext(new DefLocaleContext(null));
HashMap map = new HashMap(4);
map.put(DataControlFactory.APP_PARAMS_BINDING_CONTEXT, ctx);
mgr.loadCpx("datasource.view.DataBindings.cpx" , map);
final FormMain frame = new FormMain();
frame.setBindingContext(ctx);
I got this error when executing the last line: frame.setBindingContext(ctx);

If I configure the application module connection type as JDBC URL, everything works.
If the connection type is JDBC Datasource, I got the above error.
Can someone show me how to adjust the generated code by ADF to use datasource?

ADF BC has a bug. With Data Source in Application Module, application module does not connect. Use JDBC Connection URL.

Vb 2010 data source configuration wizard and sql server 2012

I am having a problem using the Data Source Configuration Wizard in vb 2010 express to connect to a remote SQL server database. The weird thing is that I can connect to it just fine if I manually dimension the sqlcommand, sqlconnection and set up the sql
connectionstring. So I know the connectivity is possible, but I would like to use the functionality of the Data Source Configuration Wizard.
Here's what happens when I attempt to add a connection via the Database Explorer:
I only get two SQL Server options. Neither will let me connect to a remote database.
I know that Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 isn't what I want, but I have tried it anyway. It will only let me connect to a database on my computer. An 'ActiveSync' option is greyed out.
Microsoft SQL Server Database File would appear to be what I want, but when I select this option, it informs me (as you can see) that this will only work for a local database:
The connection string that I build manually (and which works) looks like this:
Dim
myConn
As
NewSqlConnection(sConnect)
sConnect =
""Data Source=xxxxxx.xxxxxx.com;Server=""Xxxx XXX Database"";Initial Catalog=StockAnalysisProd;User
ID=cadietz;Password = "& sPW &
I have attempted all variation of this string in the database file name input box to no avail. I think it really should go in as a Data Source but those are hard wired and cannot be changed. I'm sure I'm doing something stupid, but I need someone
to point out what it is. Thanks in advance for your help...

Alberto... thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately this does not appear to work. I downloaded Visual Studio Express for the Web (2012) and attempted the 'work around' proposed by Sergey and I could not make it work on the remote server. I have given up on the Data Connection Wizard and
am simply connecting to my remote SQL server using the manual classes (SqlConnection, SqlCommand, SqlDataAdapter, etc.). The moderator has marked this as an answer but I'm going to unmark it.
I am now even more frustrated because I now find that I cannot connect to my LOCAL SQL database using the Data Connection Wizard and the circumstances are even weirder. Here's what happens:
I open the Add Connection window, select 'Microsoft SQL Server Database File (SqlClient)' as the data source.
I then browse to my local database file in the Database file name input box. When I click the 'Test Connection' button I get a message box that informs me: 'Test connection
succeeded'. Voila!
But, alas, when I close the message box and click OK on the Add Connection window I get this message: 'The ability to open this connection is not supported in this edition of Visual Studio'.
I mean this borders on the absurd. Why is the Data Connection Wizard even offered with VB 2010 Express if you can't use it for anything. Once again I can get around the problem manually but I'm getting very frustrated with MS. Any suggestions??

ADF application deployment and Data source configuration

Hi, we are developing an adf application . This app accessing the tables from a data base and i can run it in the integrated WLS of Jdeveloper. Now i would like to run it in a standalone WLS server. I can create a Data source in the server.
How can i tell the application to use the data source configured in the stand alone server. My understating is i have to configure it in the deployment descriptor. May i know how to this in Jdeveloper for an ADF application . Thanks .
ganesh

First of all make sure that you use jdbc data source in your application module configuration (right click on the application module and select Configurations, then edit). It should look something like 'java:comp/env/jdbc/hrDS'.
On your stand alone server you create a data source with the jdbc name of 'jdbc/hrDS' pointing to the db you like to use.
When you deploy the app, the server should pick up the defined data source.

Standalone 10.1.3.1.0 - Configure app to use the data-sources on parent app

Hello:
1.- I have defined a connection pool, and a data source, for the parent app "default"
in my oc4j standalone.
2.- I read in some place, that I can use those definitions in my deployed apps,
without define a datasource for every app.
3.- Previously, I have my own data-sources.xml file in every ear file, with exactly
the same information, and in my orion-application.xml, i have a <data-source>
tag, specifying this file.
4.- Now i want to use the parent's data-sources definitions, so I remove from all my ear files, the data-sources.xml file, and the tag in the orion-application.xml, I've deployed the apps, but I can't connect to de parent datasource, so..
How can I configure my apps, to use the parent's data sources configurations?
thnks in advance.
Alex.

You could also define a datasource for the OC4J instance. Then the apps deployed on it, can retrieve the datasource.

Where is the data source configuration in Jdev 11g?

Does anybody know where is the data source configuration in JDeveloper 11g? I want to create a JNDI data source using the database connection. Do I have to login the Integrated WLS to create the data source? Thanks.

Hi Chris,
Configuring the data source in Integrated WLS works for me. Thanks for your help!
Looks 11g didn't create the data source automatically in the App Navigator. I checked the deployed application directory - "Application Data\JDeveloper\system11.1.1.2.36.55.36\o.j2ee\drs\TestDS\adf\META-INF" and "Application Data\JDeveloper\system11.1.1.2.36.55.36\o.j2ee\drs\TestDS\META-INF". I didn't find the data source file - data-sources.xml. Then I started the web application and checked the Context, I can only find the data source which I defined in the Integrated WLS. It is interesting that 11g removed the JNDI list from the RMI bindings.
Also thanks to Nick for the information. We are migrating a Spring Framework application to Oracle and don't use ADF Business Components in this project.

How to create a report using XML data source from Crystal Report Designer

Hi,
Iu2019m having Crystal Report Designer XI R2 SP4. Iu2019m trying to create a report using XML data source stored on disk. This is a customer order report and the xml is structured in such a way that it has an order details header part (master) and then it has several order lines (detail). One order line can have several order line characteristics (detail-detail). So what I need to know is now I can design this layout from the designer. If this was done using views I can do it with sub-reports but using xml data this seems to be different. Can you help me to design this layout? I have included the xml and xsd as well.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Chanaka

Hi Sourashree,
Thank you for the response and ideas you have given me so far. I can get the fetch the data from the data source without any problem. That is I do the following,
1.     New Report
2.     From Create New Connection-> XML
3.     Provide the u201CLocal XML Fileu201D and have u201CSpecify Schema Fileu201D checked -> Next
4.     Provide the u201CLocal Schema Fileu201D -> Finish
Then I can see the following under XML

And from here if I add the following three I can get all the fields I need to the report
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
Then I come to the Linking section. Here I canu2019t link anything. There is a common field called u201CInternal_IDu201D but I canu2019t link using it. So I get a message when I click Next. From here I add all the fields.
For this point onwards only I need help. How do I group, add fields and design the layout so I can get an report output as follows.

How can I achieve this kind of a layout using the give xml and xsd? Should I use grouping if so how should I do the grouping?
I have included the full xml and xsd in the first mail I posted but I canu2019t see it now. I can include that again if you want.

Hyperion Planning Data Source Configuration Error

Hi,
I'm trying to configure Planning. I'm at the last step of the configuration utility, and trying to configure "Data Source Configuration" for Planning.
When I try to do it, I Create the Datasource, I give the Datasource name, and I select the database (which Oracle), and it throws me the error at the step Relational Storage Configuration Details:
com.hyperion.planning.HspDSRdbPanelManager, ERROR, Relational Database Connection Failed:= :[Hyperion][Oracle JDBC Driver][Oracle]ORA-12505 Connection refused, the specified SID (******) was not recognized by the Oracle server.
I'm sure that I'm entering the correct database details. But still not able to understan why it is not accepting it.
I'm picking up the SID from the TNSNAMES.ora correctly. I'm able to login to the Db via sqlplus with the same username,pwd and SID. Also able to connect to the Db via TOAD using the same credentials.
But not able to configure the Planning!!!
Kindly help.
Thanks.

Which version of planning are you referring to, what OS has it been installed on.
Does your tnsnames ora have different names in the configuration
net_service_name=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(protocol_address_information))
(CONNECT_DATA=
(SERVICE_NAME=service_name)))
Is the net_service_name the same as the service_name, if they are different have you tried both of them?
Cheers

Jdeveloper using containers data-sources

Hi,
Could some one please help me. I developed an application in jdeveloper using BC4J. It uses jdevelopers database connections. I deployed it to a remote 9iAS Application server. Now, i want the application to use containers data-sources instead of using jdev's format. I configured data-sources in the container, defined resource reference mapping for this application but still it seems to be not using containers data-sources.
Any one of you have any ideas please?
Thanks,
Kavitha

Weblogic will encrypt the Data which are accesssed by using its Data Source

The Connection Pool and Data Source created from Weblogic , will encrypt the data which are accessed by using this Data source and Connection Pool from the DB?
If not how we can secure the data which are accessed from this Data Source?
Bye
Srinivasan

The connection between WL and the database can be encrypted; your DBA needs to configure the encryption on the database and then you set properties in the connection pool.
If you want to encrypt the data within the database, some databases can also do that.

Results Multiplied When Using Command Data Sources

I'm using Dynamic (Non-Cascading) Parameters on two fields, either of which may have a NULL or Empty String. Since I want the user to also be able to select those Null/ES values specifically as well (and they only show up in a "regular" Dynamic parameter prompt as a blank space), I'm using a Command Data Source (CDS) to display the unique field values as well as to substitute "!Unknown" for the Null/ES entries - this works fine in other reports.
When I run the report with the CDS-based parameters, I get multiple records back where there should only be one. When I replace the CDS-based parameters with a "regular" Dynamic parameter based on the same fields, and select Distinct Records Only, I get the correct number of records back. I am unable to select Distinct Records Only when I use the 2 CDS.
I am only (inner) joining 2 tables and not joining the 2 CDS.
Thanks for any assistance

Yeah, that was my next option. I've noticed something similar recently where, even after removing all references to a data source (CMD, Table, or View), there are still fields checked as being in use until the program is closed and re-opened. That's not the specific case here, but that was where I was going to go next. Not the best possible option, but it's not a no-can-do at least (just a PITA).
LMAO! Wouldn't you know - NOT a report issue! After additional investigation it turns out that the table (which was Application/Server data) that I thought only had servers that had applications, didn't - it had everything. As soon as the inappropriate records (servers with no apps) were removed, the report returns the correct data.
Gotta luv our DBA's

Any examples of a data template using multiple data sources?

I'm looking for an example report using multiple data sources. I've seen one where they do a master/detail but I'm just looking to combine results in sorted order (sorted across all data sources). The master/detail used a bind variable to link the two defined queries, I'm thinking what I want won't have that, so I'm lost on how to make that happen. I have reports using multiple sql queries and there is a way in the data source pulldown to tell it to combine the data sources. It appears to be a more manual process with data templates, if it's even possible.
Any pointers/links would be appreciated.
Gaff

Hi Vetsrini :
That's just it. Mine is simpler than that. There is no master/detail relationship between the two queries. I have the same exact query that I run in two databases and I want to merge the results (ordered, by, say eventTime) in one report. So I think my results are going to be two separate groups (one for each data source) which I'll have to let BI merge vis XSLT or whatever it uses. That's fine for small result sets but for larger ones, it would be nice if the database did the sorting/merging.

How to define data-sources-alias.xml to use Oracle data source

Hi,
I created Oracle jdbc Data Source named "MYDS" in Visual Admin. I added the alias = MYDS_ALIAS. I set the Initial Connection to 2. On the Monitor tab, I see a green line running across the screen. The datasource MYDS is connected to the Oracle.
Now, I would like to define "data-sources-alias.xml" to use MYDS.
When creating data-source-aliases.xml it creates the alias by default on ${com.sap.datasource.default} which is the default DB.
I followed the link --> How to point data-source-aliases.xml to another Datasource
and my data-sources-alias.xml is now:
<data-source-aliases>
     <aliases>
          <data-source-name>$</data-source-name>
          <alias>BRANCH50DS</alias>
     </aliases>
</data-source-aliases>
The "EAR generatation has finished successfully", but when "Deploy to J2EE Engine", I got the error below:
1) How to define data-sources-alias.xml to use Oracle data source?
2) I found the link (SDA Deployment error) talking about "sda-dd.xml". How to create "sda-dd.xml" and make it use substitution variables "MYDS"
