VS 2005 ODBC Connection for CR XI Report

Post Author: Mohan56
CA Forum: .NET
Hello,
In VS 2005, I am using the CrystalReportViewer to display my report on Windows Form. This report uses the ODBC connection (defined in System Data Sources Name (DSN) as infimacs) to an Informix database, using NewEra Informix7 driver. In Crystal Reports XI, when I run the report a window pops up (first time and not on refresh) prompting me to enter Login and Password for the ODBC connection and also does to same thing in the Windows Form. My question is how do I pass this Login/Password info from VS 2005 to CR XI, so the Login/Password window is not displayed to the end user ? Following is the current code which is not working. I am a new user of VB and CR and I thank you in advance. Mohan56
Case "Inventory Costed - WIP"
Me.CrystalReportViewer1.LogOnInfo.Item(0).ConnectionInfo.ServerName = "ServerName"
Me.CrystalReportViewer1.LogOnInfo.Item(0).ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "DB"
Me.CrystalReportViewer1.LogOnInfo.Item(0).ConnectionInfo.UserID = "User"
Me.CrystalReportViewer1.LogOnInfo.Item(0).ConnectionInfo.Password = "pwd"
Me.CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = Me.InventoryCosted

The following fixed this issue, and ReportSource must be defined before Login Info
Case "Inventory Costed - WIP"
Me.CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = Me.InventoryCosted
Me.CrystalReportViewer1.LogOnInfo.Item(0).ConnectionInfo.Password = "xxxxxx"

could not locate the setup or translator libraryThe symptom described is typical of an incorrect system env PATH setting (used by the data source admin tool), compared to that of the Oracle Home (specifically, path $OH/bin). The odbc driver config routine will search directories listed in PATH variable for necessary libraries (Client dll's). If some library fails to load (from e.g. oraoci*.dll or oraclient10.dll) it will probably error out, as in your case.
Are you creating the odbc dsn on the databse server host or on some other machine? I.e. are you using the db host as a client or not?

How to change the connection for a recurring report

I have a group of reports running in production on recurring schedules. I need to update the database connection for these as we are changing our server environment.
I open the report in Crystal Reports 11 and changed the database connection saved the report back to the Enterprise Server location (I also have a backup of the original). When I preview the report using the Central Management Console, the report uses the updated database connection info. When I test the recurring report I get a logon failure. When I go to the instance to look at the database logon for the recurring instance it shows the old database connection.
How can this database connection get updated for the current group of instances for these recurring reports?
Thanks
BOBJCMC

Hi Stratos,
I tried to use .NET SDK to update the Logon_Info properties as below. But it does not seem to be working. Is this the correct way to update logon info for recurring instances?
infoObject.ProcessingInfo.Properties["SI_LOGON_INFO"].Properties["SI_LOGON1"].Properties["SI_USER"].Value = <userid>
infoObject.ProcessingInfo.Properties["SI_LOGON_INFO"].Properties["SI_LOGON1"].Properties["SI_PASSWORD"].Value = "pwd"
Thanks

ODBC connectivity for Oracle9i database?

Hi,
We are looking at future database platform requirements for our customer service application and starting to look at Oracle 9i. Does anyone know at this early stage whether 9i will support connectivity from an older application which requires ODBC? Is it correct to assume it will have the same level of ODBC driver support as Oracle 8i?
Thanks,
Graham Bleakley
royalblue technologies

I'm sure that there will be Oracle9 ODBC drivers when 9i ships. Assuming you'll be connecting only to an Oracle8 or Oracle9 database, you should be just fine.
The only possible wrinkle I can come up with would be if you're trying to connect to an Oracle7 database (or connect an Oracle7 client to a 9i database). I'm not sure this will be supported.

ODBC connectivity for ORACLE RDB

Hi,
I am trying to configure ODBC Agent with oracle to access ORACLE RDB.
I have installed ORACLE RDB ODBC driver and created SYSTEM DSN named
"dcprdb".
My configuration files are as follows
inithsodbc.ora (at E:\oracle\ora81\hs\admin)
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = dcprdb

I restarted the TNS Listener service. Then, I have created DB link using the following command:
CREATE DATABASE LINK hsodbc
CONNECT TO <user_name> IDENTIFIED BY <password>
USING 'hsodbc';
When I executed the following query, I am getting the following error message:

How to connect to database for all the reports FR

Hi,
I have developed 100 reports in production client, for testing purpose I have moved to
test client. How can I connect to database for all the reports at a time?
Regards
Taruni

Hi Taruni,
You can connect to the database connection for all the reports through workspace in HFM.
Connect to HFM Workspace-->click on Explore option-->and click on Tools-->click on Data Base Connection Manager and change the respective connections from Production Instance to Test Instance with required information, and than you will be able to connect to Test database for all the reports at a time.

Error: Failed to open the connection when opening Crystal Report in CMC or

Hello all,
I am getting theError: Failed to open the connection when opening Crystal Report in CMC or Infoview
with access database as the datasource which is in the network drive.

Hi Sonali,
This is because Crystal Reports does not recognize database connection from share drive
1. Save the database locally on server machine
2. Create a new database on server and link the new database with the database on Network.
Steps to link the database.
1.Create a new test database on server.
2. Go to File --> Get External Data --> Link tables | Select the database on Network Drive.
3. Select all the tables from the database.
4. Save the Database e.g. Test.mdb.
5. Create an ODBC Connection on server machine, with the same name as on client machine using test.mdb database.
Note: Click on Advanced button, enter the default user id and password for the odbc connection, it is not mandatory to give Login Name and Password, only if the user id and password are given then we need to provide the same user id and password in the CMC database configuration.
6. Create a report using this ODBC connection, and save the report to Enterprise.
Regards,
Navin

Data services on Linux to MS SQL ODBC connection

We have DS 4.1 SP2 running on Linux and trying to connect to MS SQL database via odbc. The admin guide tells you to modify the ds_odbc.ini file with an entry like this:
[test_Microsoft_SQL_SERVER]
Driver = <install_location>/lib/libodbc.so
RebrandedLib = TRUE
where install location is location of datadirect ODBC driver. But the problem is there is no libodbc.so in this library. There is a libodc.a file there instead.
Secondly, it also tells us to modify the file referenced by $ODBCINI with the following entry. In my case, ODBCINI also references to ds_odbc.ini under /dataservices/bin folder !!. Also, below it tells you to enter the /lib/DAmsssxx.so file location. But there is no such file under datadirect/lib folder. There is a DAsql25.so instead.
[test_Microsoft_SQL_SERVER]
Driver=<install_location>/lib/[DA][DD]msssxx.so
Description=DataDirect <current version number> SQL Server Wire Protocol
AlternateServers=
AnsiNPW=Yes
ConnectionRetryCount=0
ConnectionRetryDelay=3
Database=<database_name>
EnableQuotedIdentifiers=1
HostName=<SQL_Server_host>
LoadBalancing=0
LogonID=
Password=
PortNumber=<SQL_Server_server_port>
QuotedId=No
ReportCodePageConversionErrors=0
DriverExpirationBehavior=1
What should I do ? which file do I need to modify exactly and with which library ?? I don't have to modify the odbc.ini file at all ??
Do I need to install the Data direct drivers first ?? if so, how ?
Thanks
BV

Hi,
ODBC connectivity from your machine will not help as the connectivity to SQL Server will be established from the job server.
On the connectivity test, can you please check with your Linux admin. You can also refer to the following link for some details.
Links:
http://www.easysoft.com/developer/interfaces/odbc/linux.html
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Odbc
Can you please check the following link. this is specific to ODBC connectivity for Linux based job server.

ODBC connectivity gone

Post Author: gronkette
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I created a report using the ODBC connection to an Oracle database - when I went back to refresh, the connection was gone. I've checked everything that I can check - I was able to use the ODBC to connect using MS Access - that was fine. I had to redirect the report to use the regular Oracle connection.
This could be a "huge" problem because almost all my new reports will be using ODBC - any suggestions?
I also started receiving the dreaded cr.exe error!

Post Author: ilektriksky
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
It appears that CR has some very serious issue with using the Oracle ODBC drivers. I too have had several problems getting them to work and am in the same boat in that I must use the ODBC connection so that the reports can be integrated into a 3rd party app. I'm also very frustrated as I have searched for a while now to try to find a solution and no one else seems to have any answer for these problems. It is clearly a bug within CR itself as the ODBC connection works for everything else. Sorry I don't mean to vent on this reply. Anyway just wanted you to be aware that there does seem to be issues. If you do happen to find a fix please let me know as I'm sure my problem is related to yours.

Excel import on Oracle Linux - How to create an ODBC Connection

Hi,
We have Oracle BI EE on Oracle Linux. We need to create an ODBC DNS and import tables to Admin tool.
How would you create a ODBC connection inside Linux to Microsoft excel file using unixodbc. What drivers we need.
Please let us know.
Thanks!
Nilaksha.

See this post here: Re: [NQODBC][SQL_STATE: HY000][nQSError: 100[nQSError: 43093][nQSError: 16023]
You need to find an Excel ODBC driver for Linux. The ones that come with OBIEE won't read Excel as far as I know.
For info on creating an ODBC connection for OBIEE on Linux check the manual or search this forum. You don't need unixodbc for it.
