Visual Studio 2008 & Oracle Problem

Hi there,
I've been going through a bunch of legacy reports in a project I support, they had got out of date with the database, so I was verifying the database for each one.
They use data from an Oracle 10g database using a mixture of tables and views. The first report I came across that used a view gave me the following error:
"The database table 'HIGHEST_CLIENT_LOSS_V' cannot be found. Proceed to remove this table from the report?"
I don't want to remove the view as it is needed, so I went into the Database Expert to try and locate it. I opened up the ODBC connection we use to connect to the DB, and navigated to the required schema. Previously this showed Tables, Views and Stored Procs, but now only shows Tables and Stored Procs.
Has anyone else come up against this problem? Or have any idea what could cause it?
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Team System Development Edition, Oracle 10g database and ODP.Net 10.2 client/ODBC driver.
I've never had this problem before.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

James,
I'm not sure what Crystal functionality is available in VS but try right clicking on the datasource > options and in the Data Explorer section you can select whether to see views, SPs, or tables.
As well with the CR Designer there is a default limit of 8000 Database objects that CR will see. If that limit is reached then it stops dispalying objects past that limit. Try just selecting Views in the Options and if you can then see the views you can increase the default limit within the registry (*Note that it is always a good idea to backup the registry before editing). The key would be HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > business objects or Crystal decisions > Suite (version) > Crystal Reports > FetchOptions > NTablesMax

Oracle 11 g connection with asp dot net in visual studio 2008

Hi to all,
My application is using oracle 11 g as database in an asp dot net project . this was basically a project in asp dot net with sql server as a database . but now this need oracle 11 g as database . I have complete the db work, but i m getting the connection problem in visual studio (2008) with oracle 11 g .
I know for this it need a driver oracle.data.access ,, i do nt know which version it need ?
I have this dll . but version of it may be earlier. thats why it is not working properly
i have 11 g installed on the server computer , and we can only use it only on browser , I have a global.asax as a file in my dot net project in which connection string is written but i m getting error , something like ora10cc .
first i do not know , which odac version i have to download i have a link for this ,
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/windows/downloads/index-101290.html
but which version exactly , this page is so confusing, for oracle 11 g, and visual studio 2008 which version will be perfect
and then where the dll will be there. after getting the setup, Is i need to install that setup?
one more confusion , where i have to install that odac , on my computer system . or on the server side system , I just need that dll file ,,
One more thing , Is there any error in my connection string ,,
my connection is as follows
"Persist Security Info=False; User ID= system; Initial Catalog=LabTrack;Server=Comp-34;Data Source=192.168.1.61\oracle11g;Password=abcd1234; DBA Privilege=normal;"
192.168.1.61 is ip addres of system, where my oracle 11 g is install ,
and comp-32 is my user name
labtrack is my db name
Is there any need of provider name ?
sumbody pls help me
i m getting problem in at from 3 days
If u can then contact me , on [email protected] , otherwise reply me here
thanks in advance

The file at the top of that link should work fine with Oracle 11g.
I would start trying to get the client to work outside of Visual Studio, first. That way you can localize your issues.
Once you get the Oracle client connected to the Oracle server, then uou can start working on Visual Studio.
As for where to install it, I'd say start with your computer. I'm not sure how you do your development, but that would probably be a good place to start.
You may want a different download for the web server as I assume you wouldn't need the special Visual Studio tools on it. But yes, it will need whichever Oracle provider you choose installed on it as well.

Slow first connection using Oracle 10g xe and Visual Studio 2008

{noformat}
Good day,
I'm slightly unaccustomed to using forums, so bear with me.
My initial connection to the Oracle database takes approximately 30 seconds. It seems to be waiting for a connection before timing out and trying another connection which works, as all subsequent connections work immediately. I'm unsure how other people's responses in forums can help me due to the plethora of configurations, so here's mine. My comprehension of the oracle world is still growing, you'll have to explain the terms you're using for me, Hoping you can help.
I'm using Visual Studio 2008, set to use 32 bit debug mode, on a Windows 7 Pro platform. Also using Oracle 10g Xe, and have installed the 32 bit version of ODAC 11.2 (11.2.0.1) to aid making a connection from Visual Studio to Oracle.
I have a database set up and a user with system admin rights. This is all local for a programming project and will never see the light of day outside of my personal machine.
I am using code to connect, not the GUI. I wish to code this project completely without the aid of the GUI. so my connection string within Visual Studio C# is (pw/id hidden)...
string xe = "Data Source=xe;User Id=xxxxx;Password=xxxxx;";
OracleConnection conn = new OracleConnection(xe);
My c:\devsuitehome\network\admin\sqlnet.ora file is this:
# sqlnet.ora Network Configuration File: C:\DevSuiteHome\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (LDAP, TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT, ONAMES, HOSTNAME)
And my c:\devsuitehome\network\admin\TNSNames.ora file is this:
tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: C:\DevSuiteHome\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = xe)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <machine name)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = PLSExtProc)
Just for good measure, my tnsping xe shows:
"Used paramter files:<br/>
c:\devsuitehome\network\admin\sqlnet.ora<br/><br/>
Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias<br/>
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521)))(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = xe)))
OK (0 msec)"
So, how can I make that initial connection faster so I don't spend 15 years testing my application due to slow start-ups? :)
Thank you.
Kevin.

I have formatted my hard drive since my first post. I was running window 64 bit with a higher version of the ODAC and that proved to crash my machine with faulty error messages about memory. I have reverted to a previous version of the ODAC tools and everything works very smooth now. Still the connection time is consistently 20 seconds or longer on the first attempt.
Just a little more information.. I am currently taking a college course with 15 other students, as you can tell by the impersonal machine name, where programming using visual studio 2008, and Oracle 10g xe is expected. All of us are using a 64 bit environment and we all have difficulties cutting down the load time of making the first connection to Oracle. Some people are longer making the connection, but none are shorter.
One other note. After the first connection is made, taking 20 or more seconds, and is closed, all subsequent openings of the connection are instantaneous, for all of us.
If there is ANYTHING more I can get for you, please let me know. With my environment stable as it is, I will not need to format or change any information for the foreseeable future.
Here is the information you requested
1 The connection method I am using, I have chosen the manual connection for you, however the delay exists if the connection is made through the GUI as well.
Historically, I am getting slow connection speeds through adding the connection through the GUI or by a manual connection. Here is how I am doing it manually. I have the connection being created in 20 seconds, which is the best I can get.

I fought for weeks about the ODAC version 11.2.0.1 that you see in the previous post, and that would be a whole new thread. Suffice it to say I have a reliable environment to program in with this 10.2.0.1.0 version that I am running now, and the connection time has not changed, it is still minimum 20 seconds load time, sometimes up to 25.

ODAC with Oracle 10g and Visual Studio 2008

Hello-
Is the an ODAC version supporting Oracle 10g with tools for Visual Studio 2008? I've installed the ODAC 11.2 version for VS 2008, however the Oracle data source connection does not display for the Data Entity Model, only the usual SQL Server connections.
Thank you in advance!

Hello again-
First off, thank you for prompt reply. After poring over some of the postings, I'm gaining an understanding of when ODAC and the Entity Designer marriage came together and your answer solidified it.
My situation is I've developed an ODATA service with VS2010, Oracle 11g and ODTwithODAC112030 and everything works fine. I then deploy the service to the company's Windows 2003 server using Oracle 10g. I've also went ahead an installed the ODTwithODAC112030 on the server and copied the tnsnames.ora file into the oracle client's directory associated with the ODAC installation. When I query the Oracle database's metadata in IE, e.g. http://localhost:8050/DataMgmt/$metadata, a listing is displayed as expected; however, when I query a particlar database table listed in the metadata, an error is returned that the request could not be processed. Any ideas?
Thank you.

Error Ora-604 on connect from Visual Studio 2008 to Oracle database

Hello!
I have installed Oracle 9.2.0.6 Database, Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and today I succesfully installed ODP.NET 1110621.
I wrote a simple console application like this:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Oracle.DataAccess.Client;
using Oracle.DataAccess.Types;
using System.Data;
namespace ConsoleApplication1

+ "(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=ssss)));"
+ "User Id=user;Password=pwd;";
c.Open();
OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand();
cmd.CommandText = "Select * from CATEGORY_TABLE";
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.Connection = c;
OracleDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
while (dr.Read())
Console.WriteLine(dr[0].ToString() + " " + dr[1].ToString());
dr.Dispose();
cmd.Dispose();
c.Dispose();
Console.ReadLine();
at line c.Open(); appear runtime error : ORA-604 Error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
How to solve it?

Your issue is not SQL and PL/SQL so much as .NET so I would suggest you ask the question in the "Windows and .NET" forum.
But a couple of thoughts:
1. Your database is undoubtedly not at "HOST=192.168.1.1"
This IP address is generally the address of the router not the server.
2. Why would you install an unpatched version of software so old it is in desupport mode and then try to work with it using a current
version of a Microsoft product? Would you be comfortable installing a 10 year old version of a Microsoft product and expect it to
work well with Oracle 11gR1?

Hi Luis,
It looks like you are working with a debug build:
'prueba2_oci.exe': Loaded 'C:\Users\Usser3\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\prueba2_oci\Debug\prueba2_oci.exe', Symbols loaded. <=== I see Debug in the path, so this looks like a debug build.
But then further down in your output I see this:
'prueba2_oci.exe': Loaded 'C:\instantclient_11_1\vc9\oraocci11.dll' <=== This is the release build of OCCI dll not the debug build.
You appear to be mixing debug and release libraries which will not work correctly.
This is in the following step in the blog post:
"Expand Configuration Properties node, expand Linker node, select Input item, enter "oraocci11d.lib" for a debug build or "oraocci11.lib" for a release build."
If you are creating a debug build you need to use oraocci11d.lib as input to the linker.
You use oraocci11.lib as input to the linker for the release build.
For your reference, this is what you should see in the output window in Visual Studio for the debug execution:

Sorry, you are right and it's my fault. Thanks for the tip. I saw the versions listed when I did the install, but I didn't realize I needed to select any because I thought it would install automatically for whichever VS versions you had installed.
Thanks again! :)

Excellent test case, may by you should raise an SR and hope it ends up as a bug.
What happens if you "ping box01.data.local" what IP Address do you get back? You should be looking to get back the loopback address.
What happens if you do a nslookup 192.168.30.64 and 192.168.1.100?
Have you tred setting ORACLE_HOSTNAME? Not sure if this is just for the installer or not.

Crystal Report 2008 in Visual Studio 2008

Greetings all,
I faced a problem here when trying to implement a web application on a Windows Server 2003 Release 2 64bit. The web application is developed using Visual studio 2008 on a development PC running on Windows XP 32bit. The application basically will pass some parameters to the crystal report before loading it for viewing. When this application is implemented on one of our client's server which is running on Win2003 32bit, it was perfectly fine. However, when this same application is implemented on a windows 2003 r2 server x64, it somehow prompted an error on top of the page (just before the report viewer object) of the below message:
This field name is not known. Error in File [temp_location_of_rpt]: Error in formula '{Vendors.company_code}={?Company_Code} and ' This field name is not known.
As the application was working fine running under win2003 r2 x32, I configured the x64 server to enable the 32bit IIS mode on the server by running the below command:
cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32BitAppOnWin64 u201Ctrueu201D
Then proceeded with reinstallation of 32bit .net framework which surprisingly able to run the web application just fine (including viewing the report). When I deactivate the 32bit on the IIS (as the client needs to run the IIS on 64bit mode), the error appears again stating the formula error and field name not known when trying to load the report.
Anyone faced similar to this problem or any gurus and expers here can help? Would appreciate all help and guidance.

Hi Brian,
I did try to create a report without any parameters passing through the web application, in which merely to load the report that connects to the database and grab records for viewing but to my amazement, the rows of record displayed is max up to 1 row (even there are many rows in the database table). I am curious if the problem lies in the connectivity issue between crystal and oracle. Now I am wondering if there is anyone out there who manage to get the web application (visual studio) interfaced successfully with crystal report to load data directly from oracle running on IIS 64bit? Or even any other database engine where the web application is running on IIS 64bit mode?
For the time being, I am re-constructing the report to use XSD for the intention to pass the data through dataset from the web application to crystal report. It's a time consuming but I guess that's the only way to work around it.
Would appreciate if anyone have any leads to get the crystal report working on IIS x64 mode.
Thanks.

Crystal Reports 10 and Visual Studio 2008

Hi All
I've got an application that I recieved from my cleint. This is running Visual Studio 2008 and Crystal Reports 10 backend being Oracle 10.2
However, when I try to run the applincation and open any report it pops up an error "crdb_oracle.dll" not found.
I have searched this on the internet and found that there were many suggestions there. I've tried all the suggestions like reinstalling the Oracle client, Re Installing Crystal etc.,
But the error remained as is.
When i try to do a regsvr32 on this dll it fails. Am really not sure why this is happening
Any help from any one out there is highly appreciated.
Pavan
UPDATE:
I've verified the versions though. They are workign fine at the customer place.
Here is what they have done.They have got Oracle, VS 2008 and Crystal Reports 10. They got the reports embedded into .NET environment and are able to view the reports.
But when we try to execute the same code, it pops up the error, "Crdb_oracle.dll" could not be loaded.
Wanted some support on this.
Additionally, could you suggest on what needs to be done? Do we need to upgrade crystsal to crystal 2008? Will this work without any errors on the execution side (I'm sure that the customer of mine will not be happy or willing to upgrade but atleast if I get a confiramtion from you I can atleast quote this to the customer) and without any extra redesiging of the reports or any other work on the reports

Hi, Pavan;
Likely the problem is that the report was created with a different version of Crystal Reports than the one that ships with VS.NET 2008 (Which is Crystal Reports Basic for VS.NET 2008 - version 10.5). If the report was created with a full version of Crystal Reports, then it would have access to our native Oracle driver, the dll that is giving you the issue.
The full version of Crystal Reports would install that dll, but the .NET version would not. In order to distribute that DLL, yes, the client would need to develop with the full version of Crystal Reports, in this case Crystal Reports 2008.

Jonathan

Sub report parameter prompt appears when running Visual Studio 2008 with Crystal Reports 2008

Post Author: relliott
CA Forum: .NET
If I build a simple Crystal Report that contains another simple Crystal Sub Report, the report will print preview fine in Crystal 2008. The problem happens when add this report to a Visual Studio 2008 Web Application Project and I build and debug the application, the Crystal Viewer is prompting the user for the parameter used to link the sub report to the main report. This should never happen as the user is not supposed to see this parameter. If I type in some value for this sub-report parameter prompt, the Crystal Report Viewer gives an error message about not finding the field.
I was having the same problem in Vs2005 with Crystal 10 which is why I upgraded. Business Object's official fix for this problem was published under their KB article number c2018840 and c2019047. These hot fixes ended up causing general exception errors in Visual Studio so I scrapped these solutions.
Support had me install SP0 for Crystal 2008 (which did not fix it).
Any ideas?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rich Elliott

Hi Bontrager,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
According to your description, I agree with pvdg42's suggestion, so I suggest you can try pvdg42's suggestion to install the version of
Crystal Reports 10.5 to check this issue again.
Reference:
http://forums.asp.net/t/1236730.aspx?Which+CR+version+is+in+Visual+Studio+2008+
In addition, since this forum is
to discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor. So if you have any issue about the
Crystal Reports, I suggest you can ask the issue to the
SAP Crystal Reports website:
http://scn.sap.com/community/crystal-reports/content?filterID=contentstatus%5bpublished%5d~objecttype~objecttype%255bthread
as pvdg42 pervious suggestion, it will be better support.
Thanks for your understanding.

Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008 - dbf

Hello,
I use both Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 on same PC. I can not work with dbf files (format foxpro2x, dbase IV) in VS 2005 and VS 2008.
Q1. Work Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008 with database files - dbf (version foxpro2x, dbaseIV)? I get error -
Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer
Failed to load database information
or with dbf files work only Full version of Crystal Reports?
Q2. How re-install Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008. In setup Add/Remove features not exist Crystal Reports check box. I only Repair/reinstall all Visual Studio but after reinstall same error
Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer
Failed to load database information
3. When I can open sample project with Crystal Reports which use Crystal Reports (dbf file) this error is displayed:
Crystal Report Viever
Failed to load database information
Details: The database DLL "crdb_p2bxbse.dlll" could not be loaded.
4. I reinstal Crystal Report in Visual Studio 2005 - same error
5. I apply hotfix Crystal Reports for .NET 2005 - SP 1 - same error
Thank You
Ludek

Hi Ludek,
1-For dbase file to work you need have permission on database files for IIS as well as user accessing the database.
2-For re-install you need to insert the CD of visual studio setup then do custom install and then try to choose crystal reports for re-installing
3-The old viewer might cause the problem. In this case can you try connecting to a blank dbase file.
and for such issues we have a special forum [here|SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio;
Thanks,

Crystal Report 10 in Visual Studio 2008

Hello,
Is there a formal process to make Visual Studio 2008 work with Crystal Report version 10? Are there specific files that need to be installed? Any problems to watch for. I currently tried to port Visual Studio 2003 solution that had working Crystal Reports 10 code and I have received some errors relating to ReportDocument (but there could be other). Anyway, maybe there are some basics I am missing.
Thanks.

When I double click on the report (.rpt) file, I am getting Microsoft Windows dialog with the following message:
      Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 has stopped working.
      Windows can try to restart the program.
      --> Restart the program
     --> Debug the Program
When I click Debug the Program, I see following:
   Unhandled exception at 0x18205950 in devenv.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation.
   Top 3 Call Stack lines at this point are:
   18205950()
   CRDesigner.dll!3e043d7a()
   [Frames below may be incorrect and/or missing, no symbols loaded for CRDesigner.dll]
   When I click Break in debug window I see:
   No symbols are loaded for any call stack frame. The source code cannot be displayed."
   Windows has triggered a breakpoint in devenv.exe.
   This may be due to a corruption of the heap, which indicates a bug in devenv.exe or any of the DLLs it has loaded.
I do not see Crystal Reports 10.xx under reference list. How do I go back to the version of reports originally created in? If I am not able to work the Crystal Reports 2008, I want to go back to 10.xx and drop the idea of considering upgrade to Crystal Reports 2008.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Integrating Crystal Report 2008 Developer with Visual Studio 2008 Standard

I have Crystal Reports 2008 Developer version 12.0.0.683 on my computer. I also have Visual Studio 2008 Standard. I know the standard edition of VS 2008 does not have the bundled crystal reports, but since I bought the full version of CR 2008 separately, I figure I should be able to use CR within VS 2008. The problem I am facing is integrating Crystal Reports with Visual Studio, so I can create reports from within visual studio.
Crystal Reports was installed first and then Visual Studio. As per suggestions on this and other forums, I repaired my installation of Crystal Reports, but that did not help. I then ran Visual Studio integration manager, but when I run it, it only detects Visual Studio as the currently installed IDE, but does not detect CR 2008. I downloaded service pack 2 for CR, but have not installed it yet. I do not want to install it if it is not going to help. I would also like to avoid uninstalling my copy of CR if at all possible.
I am a newbie at development in visual studio. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rajib

Don't want to go against what Jason said as it may be correct - if we go strictly by the documentation provided (sorry Jason, Dan says...). However, here is something to try;
Uninstall CR. Look for any left overs; c:\program files\business objects\... and delete all of that.
Look in the registry for HKLM\software\business objects and remove the business objects entry.
Download CR 2008 from here:
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
That is a trial version and I believe it is already at SP 1. Use your keycode to install. Once this is done, you should have the ability to use CR in .NET. I'd recommend you do apply sp 2 now also.

Crystal Report X1 compatibility with Visual Studio 2008

We are migrating an application running on .NET 1.0 to .NET 3.5. Previously Crystal report X1 was working fine with .NET 1.0 however now when it has been migrated to .NET 3.5, we are able to generate crystal report but print and export functionality is not working.
Please confirm if Crystal report X1 is compatible with Visual studio 2008/.NET 3.5? We even updated Release 2 SP4 patch but that didn't solve the problem.
If crystal report X1 is not compatible with Visual studio 2008, which version is compatible so that we can buy the license for the same?
