VB2005 with Crystal Report XI and MS Access - Database Connector Error:

Post Author: jvaldeziii
CA Forum: .NET
"Database Connector Error:"
does anybody there whose got an idea with this problem?
Im using VB2005 and im trying to show a report using CR XI with a Ms Access database...
Whenever i used a CRAXDRT.Report.SQLQueryString? my application has an error "Database Connector Error"
but whenever i omit this single line of code CRAXDRT.Report.SQLQueryString?
crxReport.SQLQueryString = "Select * from tblPersonal where EMP_ID like '0%'"
Or either i replace it with a CRAXDRT.Report.RecordSelectionFormula?
crxReport.RecordSelectionFormula = "{tblPersonal.IDNo} like '*'"
it works fine and it show the report and data...
But?? i have to use more flexible filter condition like "SQLQueryString" like using LEFT OUTER JOIN or even just a simple query string in sql query...
but using "SQLQueryString" gives me a head ache to figure it myself... I got this frustrating error in my application... "Database connector error"
thats why i need help... please anybody has a good idea to resolve this problem "Database connector error" please refer to my code if there's something missing or lacking in my code...
Here's my sample code:
Private Sub frmCrystalReport_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Try
ChildFormAutoSizeFit(Me)
Me.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor
Me.MdiParent = frmMain
crxApp = New CRAXDRT.Application
crxReport = crxApp.OpenReport(reportPath & "\EmployeeRecord.rpt", CrystalDecisions.Shared.OpenReportMethod.OpenReportByDefault)
crxDataBase = crxReport.Database
crxTables = crxDataBase.Tables
For Each crxTable In crxTables
crxTable.Location = DataSource
crxTable.SetLogOnInfo("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data source=" & reportPath, "myEmpDB.mdb", "UserName", "myPassword")
Next crxTable
'Note1: this line crxReport.SQLQueryString gives me the headache "Database Connector Error"
crxReport.SQLQueryString = "Select * from tblPersonal"
'Note2: this line crxReport.RecordSelectionFormula works fine
'crxReport.RecordSelectionFormula = "{tblPersonal.IDNo} like '*'"
AxCRViewer1.ReportSource = crxReport
AxCRViewer1.ViewReport()
crxDataBase = Nothing
crxTable = Nothing
crxTables = Nothing
crxReport = Nothing
crxApp = Nothing
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.ToString())
Finally
Me.Cursor = Cursors.Default
End Try
End Sub
Please anybody there who can resolve this problem or even just a good idea to share?? Please...
A lot of appreciation to someone or anybody who can help with this... thanks in advance....

You may want to move/ask this question in the "Other" sdk forum since this is not the CR.NET SDK, but actually RDC/COM SDK.
You are using the RDC in .NET, which is unsupported/untested so there is no way to know if it is a .NET specific issue or an issue with the RDC.
One of the COM folks may be of more help in that forum.
Good luck with your project.

ODBC Connectivity with Crystal Reports 2009 and MySQL

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me. We are currently running Crystal Reports CR Developer version 9.2.2.693 with an ODBC connection (ODBC 3.51 driver) to a My SQL database, version 4.0.18.*
We want to upgrade to Crystal Reports 2008, CR Developer version 12.0.0.683, however when I try to run reports to the current database, I get the following error:
*Database Connector Error: 2300:[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-4.0.18-nt]You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near .client where 0=1 at line 1 [Database Vendor Code: 1064] *
Has anyone encoutered this before? Do I need to get a different rev. ODBC driver? Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for your suggestion, but since the same query works when I use Crytal Reports 9 to the same MySQL database, I don't think that's the issue. I wonder if it has to do with the driver.

CR was released well before .NET framework 3.5. Mo test would have been done. Only option is to not install 3.5 or upgrade to CR 2008 which supports 3.5 framework. Also will require you to update your app to ASP.NET.

Problem with Crystal Report Viewer and Dual Monitors

Post Author: jtgoff
CA Forum: .NET
Hey Guys,
I'm running into another problem with the Crystal Report Viewer. Here's a little info before I get started, I'm developing a Windows App using WinForms in VS2005 and Crystal 11 Release 2. I'm referencing all the latest Crystal dlls from Service Pack 2 of Crystal 11 Release 2. The problem occurs when I drag my Windows Form that contains a Crystal Report Viewer onto my second monitor and try to scroll or resize it, when I try this the Report Document within the Viewer becomes glitchy, blocky, and un-readable. I drag it back onto my main monitor and perform the same actions and the Report appears perfectly fine. I notice this occurs after a number of Report Previews through my App. Initially when I start my App, I can drag the reports onto my second monitor and resize it and scroll through it no problem. However, after a number of Previews, I notice the problem occurs on my second monitor. This is a very strange bug that doesn't produce an error and appears to happen randomly. I was wondering if anyone has come across this problem, if so... Is there a solution for this?
Thanks in advance!

You can update the parameters using Crystal Viewer 2008. I had the same problem with the "CHANGE" button being grayed out.
Go to your Report -> Select Expert -> and now you have three choices: Record, Group, Saved Data. Put your select statement using your parameters in the Saved Data only (remove it from Record if already there).
It works awesome and even works on dynamic parameters!

Has any body work with Crystal Report XI and JDeveloper 10.1.3 ?

Hi All,
We want to use Crystal Report XI as our reporting tools and integrate it with our jsp/jspx application developed with JDeveloper 10.1.3.
Has any body succesfully done this kind of integration ?
Could you please share it with me ?
Thank you for your info,
xtanto

Hi friends,
I use Crystal Reoprt XI (release 1) with JDev 10.1.3, never try Crystal 10 with JDev.
Here is what I do :
1. Install CR XI on the same machine with JDev 10.1.3.
2. Modify CRConfig.XML on folder : C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\java on three places :
<JavaDir>D:\JDev1013\jdk\bin</JavaDir>
<Classpath>D:\JDev1013\jdbc\lib\ocrs12.jar;D:\JDev1013\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar;D:\JDev1013\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14dms.jar;D:\JDev1013\jdbc\lib\orai18n.jar; .... [original classpath]
<JDBCURL>jdbc:oracle:thin:@oracle.sas.co.id:1521:ORCL</JDBCURL>
<JDBCClassName>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</JDBCClassName>
<JDBCUserName>myuserid</JDBCUserName> <JNDIURL></JNDIURL>
3. Create the report using Crystal XI, USE JDBC CONNECTION, and it takes about 12-20 minutes to connect, don'y know why :)
( now the integration part )
4. Create a project for the report in our apps workspace (e.d : ViewController)
5. Copy these jar files below to D:\..\ViewController\public_html\WEB-INF\lib
(I got the files from Crystal Installation)

6. Right click the project, project properties, Libraries, Add Jar / Directories,
Add all the jar files from previous step.
7. Copy CRConfig.XML to folder D:\..\ViewController (project folder)
( this CRConfig.XML is the one that I have not modified, the original one. )
Please check, you must have this on the file :
<reportlocation>.</reportlocation>
8. Then create a Folder e.g : reports under WEB-INF :
D:\..\ViewController\public_html\WEB-INF\reports, then copy all reports created on step 3 on to this folder.
9. create a jsp to call the report, here is sample of my JSP :

Problem with Crystal Report XI and Regional Settings

Dear All,
I am working on Crystal Report XI under Chinese Windows 2000 Professional and Chinese Visual Foxpro 9.0.
I created a User defined Function Library under VFP9.0 as an ActiveX with a function that return a String. I could saw the function in CR XI and the function works fine when returning English. When the function returning a Chinese String, CR XI gives different result. The Chinese text returned from the function only works when my regional settings (control panel -> regional settings) is set to Chinese Taiwan otherwise it shows "??????".
It is queer, the text object always correct, shows Chinese text, no matter what regional settings is. I did try my best in VFP to convert the string to double byte, unicode, etc but it stilll doesn't work.
Could anyone help me please. Thank you.
Regards,
Antony

If you have the correct font, it will actually say "MS Arial Unicode" in any of the font drop downs - CR Designer, MS Word or any other software. So, you'll have to ensure that the font is installed.

Crystal reports server and microsoft access db

Hi
I have created a Crystal Report using Crystal Reports XI. In terms of a datasource I simply used a unc path to the actual mdb file.
I can open the report local on the PC in CR XI and the report runs no problem however I have deployed to our Crystal Reports server XI so that users can use it.
The problem is that when I try to run the report from the Info view console it keeps asking me for a user id and password. I have logged into the CMC admin console and looked at the properites of the report and the process/database tab however not matter what I configure in there it either asks for the username and password or says invlaid object when I try to view the report.
I have created other reports which have used an SQL database as the data source and published them to the CR Server and they work no problem so I am guessing I need to change something for using an Access DB as the dataource. Not usr eif that change is in Crystal Reports XI or Crystal Reports Server?
Can anyone help?
Many thanks

Detail sections not displayed with Crystal Reports 2010 Runtime (SP1 also)

I have migrated a VB app from RDC 9 to Crystal Reports 2010 and I'm experiencing a very strange issue.
In a report with 6 nested groups, the detail part is splitted in 7 section, and the whole detail has the "keep together" flag activated. At runtime, some detail sections are not displayed. There is no suppress condition on the detail section. The missed sections are those near bottom of the page. I suppose that when there is no room to print the section on the page and it should go on the next page, Crystal forget to display it.
I exported the report in Crystal format and reopened with Crystal Reports designer and the missed section are displayed.
The same report is displayed correctly using RDC 9.
If I show the group tree and select the missed section group, the section is correctly displayed on a separate preview page.
I've some screenshot to better demonstrate the problem.
I hoped SP1 will resolve the issue but unfortunately it didn't.

This issue has been escalated for a fix. tracking number is TE5000325237. For anyone wanting to attach to this thread with a similar issue, please note the behavior as decribed in the TE below. If the description does not match your issue exactly, please create a new thread.
Description - Steps to Reproduce;
1) Run the report in the CR 2008 designer - note the second page
2) Run the report in VS2010 app using CRVS2010 SP1:
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = <path to report>
3) Look at page 2 and compare to page 2 from the CR2008 designer (also, see attached compare.jpg file which is a screen shot of both views) - note missing group on page 2
4) Export to PDF, DO, RTF - same issue
5) Print to printer using the viewer print button - same issue
6) Same issue print to printer using code:
Dim crReportDocument As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument()
crReportDocument.Load("C:\Crystal\Test\Forum tests\Alberto missing detail section\Crystal Issue\Distinta di Taglio CR 2010.rpt")
crReportDocument.PrintToPrinter(1, 1, 1, 2)

Help with Crystal Reports changing SQL Server

I am doing a web site cutover to a new server for a client and have the server up and running using crystal reports server xi r2 sp2 under windows server 2003r2 32bit.
When I run a report via the webpage it generates a blank page.
I've edited the old web developers crystal report files and updated the database path howerver when i type in the new SQL server and authenticate to it using the SA account it then pops up a window asking me to enter values
has items such as
@sUserID
@sSubUserID
@iSessionID
etc
the only way i can continue through this is to check a box for each value 'set to null' which i dont' think is correct.
What values should I be putting in these areas or should I be getting this infomation from the previous developer?
much appreciated

Hello,
I don't recognize those variables as CR ones so it's likely something the original developer is setting in code.
You'll have to discuss with that person.
If your have SDK issues then post your question to one of the .NET or Java SDK forums.
Thank you

Crystal Report throws Unexpected Database Connector error

Hi, 
 
We are using Crystal report 2008 CR4E API to implement the crystal report in our application. We use the below code to reset the report data source with our application data source. It works fine for most of the simple queries. But if the query contains any function defined in the SELECT Clause it throws Unexpected Database Connector error. As per the log and analysis we believe the root cause of the exception is it consider that function as column in the table and throws the SQL Exception that "function is Invalid Identifier". Could you please help in resolving this issue?
 
Code: 
 Tables tables = clientDoc.getDatabaseController().getDatabase().getTables(); 
 for(int i = 0;i < tables.size();i++){ 
 origTable = tables.getTable(i); 
 if (tableName == null || origTable.getName().equals(tableName)) { 
 newTable = (ITable)origTable.clone(true); 
 newTable.setQualifiedName(origTable.getAlias()); 
 connectionInfo = newTable.getConnectionInfo(); 
 propertyBag = new PropertyBag(); 
 propertyBag.put("Trusted_Connection", params.trustedCon); 
 propertyBag.put("Server Type", params.serverType); 
 propertyBag.put("Use JDBC", params.useJdbc); 
 propertyBag.put("Database DLL",params.databaseDLL); 
 propertyBag.put("Connection URL", params.connectionURL); 
 propertyBag.put("Database Class Name", params.dbClassName); 
 connectionInfo.setAttributes(propertyBag); 
 connectionInfo.setUserName(params.userName); 
 connectionInfo.setPassword(params.password); 
 clientDoc.getDatabaseController().setTableLocation(origTable, newTable); // Exception is thrown here 
 } 
 }

i'm also getting the same error when i'm trying to call stored procedure (that will fetch the result set and populate the report) through the query in the report-viewer.jsp. The result set is fetched i.e. when i print the result set it shows on tomcat but it is not getting passed to Table object to populate the report. However when i try to give the query explicitly in the form of SELECT statements, it works fine i.e. i can view the report in the browser. But giving query in the form of SELECT is a very naive way and is ok if u have too less reports not requiring too many joins, thats why i was using stored procedure. Any help would be appreciated.

Problem with Crystal reports for Eclipse and Postgres-databases

Hi,
Is there a known problem when using a PostgreSQL-database to create a report with Crystal reports Plugin? When I drag a table, then occurs a error-windows, that the object can't created.
I have found a workaround for solving the problem. After new installing Eclipse Platform Version: 3.4.1 Build id: M20080911-1700 and Crystal reports Plugin 11.8.6.v1371 with JRE 1.6.0_01 the error message allways occurs, when I select a table from a PostgreSQL database (Version 8.2). After restarting eclipse you see the last selected tables in the field explorer and you can drag the table fields in the report. A repeated choice of the same table causes aliases for the table in the field explorer after restarting eclipse.
Error.log:

Your issue appears to be a Crystal Reports for Eclipse report designer thing, and not a JRC runtime thing. The JRC runtime does support Type 4 JDBC drivers, but all modern PostgreSQL drivers are Type 4.
The current report designer is more restrictive than the JRC runtime - and PostgreSQL, being not on the supported platforms list, has never been tested with the embedded designer.
Unless there's anybody out there with experience with PostgreSQL and CR4E designer, who would be willing to share their experiences.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Crystal Reports and Access database connection error

I had this in a different forum with no hits, so I am trying this one.
A person that I work with has multiple reports set up that pulls from an Access database that is password protected. When we moved everything over to a new computer, those reports now say that it cannot access the fields inside the database. It never pops up with a login screen either, like it does on the old computer. I played around with the ODBC, with no luck, couldn't get anything to work. I have also tryed relinking the database, but I keep getting connection problems. We are on a network, so her settings should have all moved with the new computer. Along with the database and the reports being on the server, so they were never moved. I am thinking it has something to do with a system file.
I also found this document on this site, but cannot find the download it mentions, sounds similar to my problem.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/208b8fe5-681e-2b10-d2bb-b201f266d0ab
Does anybody know how to fix this without the utility mentioned in the above link, or know where I can get the utility??
We are using Access 2007 and Crystal Reports 7. The database is not save as an Access 2007 database, but a regular mdb.
Please Help!

Hello Chris,
Crystal Reports does not store the database password with the RPT file. This is by design (Crystal is not a database security product). This is true of all versions of Crystal Reports.
If your users need to see fresh data when opening the reports then they will have to log in by providing at least the password.
You can send reports with Saved Data that won't try to hit the database, but the data won't refresh either. To save data with the report go to the File menu and click next to Save Data with Report. Refresh the report and then save it. The report will now have saved data and won't try to hit the database when opened. If the user hits the refresh button then they will get prompted to log into the database.
I hope this helps.

Crystal Reports export and print fails with SSL / https but works with http

Windows 2008 Server, 32-bit (IIS7)
ASP.NET 2.0
Ajax 1.0
Crystal Reports version 10.5.3700.0
http: printing works, export works
https: printing not working, only export to MS Excel and MS Word work.
I am able to generate reports using both http and https, and the toolbar icons are all showing. However, I am unable to print or export properly with SSL.
Printing prompts me with a select printer window, and then a window 'Retrieving Page 1' follow by two messages from Crystal Print Control both stating:
A communication error occured. Printing will be stopped.
Exporting generates various errors depending on which export method is being selected (however Excel and Word work over https).
I've found the same problem on this site and other forums, but never a resolution to get exporting and printing to work with SSL. Will someone please provide me assistance or possibly relay what settings they're using if they have Crystal Reports export or printing working over SSL in IIS7? Everything works fine when I change the address from https to http.
Please let me know if I can help by providing further information. We've gone through a great deal of possible solutions with code and I'm currently looking in to IIS settings again.
Thank you.

Thanks Ludek. I got it by searching KB number.
Unfortunately, it didn’t fix my problem even my IE (IE8 and IE 9) has correct setting. I double check my version. PrintControl.CAB is version 10.2.0.1146. we use VS 2005 Crystal report and VB .NET. It works fine on HTTP. But when we use HTTPS (SSL Certificate from go daddy).
1: Crystal report export
            Export to MS Excel, Word: pop us “File download”, then click “Save”. It says “Internet Explorer cannot download ReportView.aspx from my site. Internet Explorer was not able to open this internet site. the requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try it again later”
            Export to RPt, Rich text format: It says “Internet Explorer cannot download ReportView.aspx from my site. Internet Explorer was not able to open this internet site. the requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try it again later”
            Export to PDF : nothing happened.
2: Print:
            Pop up dialog to select printer, click “Print” “. Shows windows “Crystal Report Viewer” and pop us error message box. Title is “Crystal Print Control”. Message is “An communication error occurred. Printing will be stopped”. Click “OK” and pop up error message box again.
Please advise.
Thank you very much!
