When creating a report, "Available Data Sources" is missing options.

Background:
I am running Crystal Reports XI Developer edition.
Here are the steps to expose the problem:
1. Create a new standard report (Ctrl-N).
2. Available data sources - expand "Create New Connection"
3. I expect to find "Field Definitions Only" and "File System Data" in the displayed list (among many others). However, I only see "Database Files", "OLE DB (ADO)", and "More Data Sources".
4. "Field Definitions Only" formerly appeared under "More Data Sources" but has disappeared.
Question: How do I get all the connection types to appear?
I have a secondary computer running Crystal Reports where the entire list is populated. The problem appears only on my primary Crystal Reports development machine.

Vitaly,
1. Yes, I checked "More Data Sources" - not there.
2. I tried adding the Field Definitions using Control Panel Add/Remove - no help.
I tried removing the "Field Definitions" and then adding them again - no help.
3. Another machine does have the same version of CR. It is running Vista. Problem machine is running XP.
4. Clicked the "Reinstall" button in the Control Panel Add/Remove - this fixed the problem. I did not need to uninstall the program.
Both machines now exhibit the same list of connection types (with one small exception). Thank-you for your hellp.

Adhoc Reporting using Data Sources instead of Report Model

Hi Gurus,
I'm working on SSRS 2008. I'm trying to create Adhoc Report using Report Builder 3.0. To select Data Source, both *.rsds and *.smdl are listed. I selected a Data Source which points to a SQL database. When I add New datasets, I'm able to add the fields and
it automatically detect relationships (Joins) using Primary Key and Foreign Key defined in the tables. I'm also able to edit the query. I ran the report and it ran successfully.
My question is I couldn't find any documentation regarding using Data Source for Adhoc Reporting. MS SQL documentation and forums insists that Report Model is required for Adhoc Reporting.
Please let me know if someone tried to create Adhoc Report using Data Source instead of Report Model. While I understand there are more benefits using Report Model (define entities/attributes, show/hide entity/attributes, organize entities/attributes etc.),
I just want to know if this is possible.
Are there any known limitation using this method?
Thanks In Advance!

Hi Ereswaran,
Yes, we can create ad hoc report using report using data source instead of Report Model. Ad hoc reports typically are used to answer a specific question at appoint in time, so consequently people don’t spend a lot of time arranging and formatting the data
in a precise way. Other report development tools are available in Reporting Services to support more sophisticated reporting requirements.
Using Report Builder, we can build a simple report that display data form a single data source as defined by a report model. This tool is most useful for business users who need access to information but lack the skills to write a SQL query. If we have full
experience of SQL query, of course we can use data source instead of Report Model.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Helpdesk Report Group Users - Cannot create a connection to data source 'DataSource1'

Getting the following error for a User accessing the report who is a member of the reporting group. If I add them as a sysadmin in SQL they can get access. What permissions need changing for this user group?
Cannot create a connection to data source 'DataSource1'. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user

Dave,
For a complete understanding of the permission and groups, I would rather suggest you to do the installation of the MBAM components in a single server infrastructure in a test environment.
Create the following domain security groups and use it during the configuration of the MBAM roles:-
1) MBAM Advanced Helpdesk Users
2) MBAM Helpdesk Users
3) MBAM Report Users
4) MBAM Read and Write Access
5) MBAM Read Only Access.
Create an application pool account and create a login in SQL for it. Use it only during:-
1) Configuration of "Compliance and Audit Database connection"
2) Configuration for All Web Applications.
If your application pool account is not a domain administrator, the run the following powershell command to set the service principal name :-
Setspn
-s http//<FQDN of MBAM Web Server> domain\<Application pool account>
Make sure the application pool account must be trusted for delegation.
That's all you need to do. Then after the installation you can check the properties of each group in SQL to verify the rights and permission assigned during the installation.

Hi Kenny_I,
As per my understanding, I think this issue may be caused by your colleague has no permission to access to data source 'EntityDataSource', it is a Kerberos issue. When report server uses ‘Windows authentication (integrated) or SharePoint user’ as the credentials
to access the data source 'EntityDataSource', the authentication would be failed. So we should try to check if the issue is in this scenario. If in this case, we should change the credentials to stored credentials.
Besides, if we don’t configure C2WTS Service Account to use Local System, it needs the following local policy rights:
Act as part of the operating system.
Impersonate a client after authentication.
Log on as a service.
For more details, please refer to the following blog:
http://www.codeovereasy.com/2014/01/powerview-report-fails-no-credentials-are-available-in-the-security-package/
Hope this helps.

How to create a report with data using the Crystal Reports for Java SDK

Hi,
How do I create a report with data that can be displayed via the Crystal Report for Java SDK and the Viewers API?
I am writing my own report designer, and would like to use the Crystal Runtime Engine to display my report in DHTML, PDF, and Excel formats. I can create my own report through the following code snippet:
ReportClientDocument boReportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
boReportClientDocument.newDocument();
However, I cannot find a way to add data elements to the report without specifying an RPT file. Is this possible? I seems like it is since the Eclipse Plug In allows you to specify your database parameters when creating an RPT file.
is there a way to do this through these packages?
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.data
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.definition
Am I forced to create a RPT file for the different table and column structures I have?
Thank you in advance for any insights.

Hi Rameez,
After working through the example code some more, and doing some more research, I remain unable to populate a report with my own data and view the report in a browser. I realize this is a long post, but there are multiple errors I am receiving, and these are the seemingly essential ones that I am hitting.

Throws the exception
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: java.lang.NullPointerException---- Error code:-2147467259 Error code name:failed
There was other sample code on SDN which suggested the following - adding the table after calling table.setDataFields() as in:
          String tableName = "Building";
            String fieldname = "Building_Name";
            Table oTable = new Table();
            oTable.setName(tableName);
            oTable.setAlias(tableName);
            oTable.setQualifiedName(tableName);
            oTable.setDescription(tableName) ;
            Fields fields = new Fields();
            DBField field = new DBField();
            field.setDescription(fieldname);
            field.setHeadingText(fieldname);
            field.setName(fieldname);
            field.setType(FieldValueType.stringField);
            field.setLength(40);
            fields.add(field);

            oTable.setConnectionInfo(oConnectionInfo);
            rcd.getDatabaseController().addTable(oTable, null);
This code succeeds, but it is not clear how to add that database field to a section. If I attempt to call the following:
FieldObject oFieldObject = new FieldObject();
            oFieldObject.setDataSourceName(field.getFormulaForm());
            oFieldObject.setFieldValueType(field.getType());
            // Now add it to the section
            oFieldObject.setLeft(3120);
            oFieldObject.setTop(120);
            oFieldObject.setWidth(1911);
            oFieldObject.setHeight(226);
            rcd.getReportDefController().getReportObjectController().add(oFieldObject, rcd.getReportDefController().getReportDefinition().getDetailArea().getSections().getSection(0), -1);
Then I get an error (which is not unexpected)
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportDefControllerException: The field was not found.---- Error code:-2147213283 Error code name:invalidFieldObject
How do I add one of the table.SetDataFields() to my report to be displayed?
Are there any other pointers or suggestions you may have?
Thank you

Any body knows what might be happening?
pleaseeeee help.

How do I remap fields in Visio shapes when pointing to an external data source?

Hi,
I'm creating an organizational chart (org chart) in Visio. It refers to a SharePoint list. in the SharePoint list there is a column called FullName. This is the one I want to map to the Name field in a Visio shape. How do I remap fields in Visio shapes when
pointing to an external data source?

Mark,
Unfortunately the required field/column names are hard coded in the add-in.

OWB 10g -- Can't Create Database Links for Data Source and Target

We installed OWB 10g server components on a Unix box running Oracle 10g (R2) database. The Designer Repository is in one instance. The Runtime Repository and the Target are in another instance. The OWB client component was installed on Windows XP. We create a data source module and a target module in OWB. The data source is on another Unix box running Oracle 9i (R2) database. We try to create database links for data source module and target module, respective. But when we created and tested the DB links, the DB links were failed.
For the database link of data source, we got the following error message:
Testing...
Failed.
SQL Exception
Repository Error:SQL Exception..
Class Name: CacheMediator.
Method Name: getDDEntryFromDB.
Repository Error Message: ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred
For the database link of target , we got the following error message:
Testing...
Failed.
API2215: Cannot create database link. Please contact Oracle Support with the stack trace and the details on how to reproduce it.
Repository Error:SQL Exception..
Class Name: oracle.wh.ui.integrator.common.RepositoryUtils.
Method Name: createDBLink(String, String, String, String).
Method Name: -1.
Repository Error Message: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended.
However, we could connect to the two databases (data source and target) using the OWBs utility SQL Plus.
Please help us to solve this problem. Thank you.

As I said prior the database link creation should work from within the OWB client (also in 10).
Regarding your issue when deploying, have you registered your target locations in the deployment manager and did you first deployed your target location's connector which points out to your source?
I myself had some problems with database link creations in the past and I can't remember exactly what they were but it had something to do with
- the use of abnormal characters in the database link name
- long domain name used in as names.default_domain in my sqlnet.ora file
What you can do is check the actual script created when deploying the database link so see if there's something strange and check if executing the created script manually works or not.

Performance issues when creating a Report / Query in Discoverer

Hi forum,
Hope you are can help, it involves a performance issues when creating a Report / Query.
I have a Discoverer Report that currently takes less than 5 seconds to run. After I add a condition to bring back Batch Status that = Posted we cancelled the query after reaching 20 minutes as this is way too long. If I remove the condition the query time goes back to less than 5 seconds.

Is there anything i can do in Discoverer Desktop / Administration to avoid this problem.
Many thanks,
Lance

Hi Rod,
I've tried the condition (Batch Status||'' = 'Posted') as you suggested, but the qeury time is still over 20 mins. To test i changed it to (Batch Status||'' = 'Unposted') and the query was returned within seconds again.
Ive been doing some more digging and have found the database view that is linked to the Journal Batches folder. See below.
I think the problem is with the column using DECODE. When querying the column in TOAD the value of P is returned. But in discoverer the condition is done on the value Posted. Im not too sure how DECODE works, but think this could be the causing some sort of issue with Full Table Scans. How do we get around this?

How to add collection to report as data source

Hi all,
i'm trying to add collection to report as data source:
List<DmsLockingItem> items;
ReportClientDocument rcd = new ReportClientDocument();
DatabaseController dbc = rcd.getDatabaseController();
dbc.setDataSource(items, DmsLockingItem.class, "tName","tName");
this works with com.businessobjects.crystalreports.sdk but not with rasapp.jar.
And i can't use plugin lib in my current project.
can anyone help please?
Greetings,
Nikolas

The setDatasource expects the object passed to either be a DataSet, java.sql.ResultSet, IXMLDataSet, or BusinessView object. Are you able to convert your collection to one of these?

Creating a new connection when creating a report from scratch

I've searched all around but I haven't managed to find any samples or forum posts that show how to create a connection when creating a report from scratch via RCAPI. All of the code that I've found has been aimed at replacing the ConnectionInfo for an existing connection. I figured that it would work something like this:
m_crystalReport.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
m_crystalReport.newDocument();
IConnectionInfo ci = new ConnectionInfo();
PropertyBag propertyBag = new PropertyBag();
propertyBag.put("Use JDBC", true);
propertyBag.put("Connection URL", "jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=" + DB_NAME);
propertyBag.put("Database Class Name", "net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver");
propertyBag.put("Database DLL", "crdb_jdbc.dll");
ci.setAttributes(propertyBag);
m_connection = new Connection();
m_connection.setConnectionInfo(ci);
m_connection.open();
but this produces a NullPointerException within Connection.open(). If I leave the connection closed but add it to the report via DatabaseController.addConnection() then I just get the exception later on when I try to add tables using the connection.
Can anyone give me any pointers please?
Thanks,
Rich.

Just in case anyone else runs into this, I managed to fix it by leaving the connection closed and then using the connection info instead of the connection when creating tables, eg:
     ITable t = new Table();
     t.setAlias(v.getAlias());
     t.setName(v.getView().getName());
     t.setConnectionInfo(m_connectionInfo);
     getDatabaseController().addTable(t, null);

I have called the store with the same problem but the answer is this must be done on line. I was told to use a different browser but it has made no difference - I am still having the same problem

No data set found when creating a report

Dear all,
This is my first time using BI Publisher, and I am stuck at a very early stage.
I have followed the various steps described in the documentation, up to creating a new report.
When I try to do so, I fail as there is no available data set in the left panel.
Another curious behaviour is that I have first to export and then import sample data as xml for the sample to be saved. Otherwise, when I just click on 'Save as Sample Data', the sample file appears to be associated with the dataset, but disappears at the next logon.
What would cause such behaviours?
Are these issues linked?
Is it a configuration/setup issue?
Or could it be a privileges/roles issue?
Cordially,
Albain

Vitaly,
1. Yes, I checked "More Data Sources" - not there.
2. I tried adding the Field Definitions using Control Panel Add/Remove - no help.
I tried removing the "Field Definitions" and then adding them again - no help.
3. Another machine does have the same version of CR. It is running Vista. Problem machine is running XP.
4. Clicked the "Reinstall" button in the Control Panel Add/Remove - this fixed the problem. I did not need to uninstall the program.
Both machines now exhibit the same list of connection types (with one small exception). Thank-you for your hellp.
.... Warren

Problem when creating a Report with a schduled date

When I tried to create a report with a Schedule (any option except NOW) I get the error of "First Report Occur Date should be after or equal to Current Date" unless I use a date of 2012-10-01 or later in the First report occurs on field. Today's date is 2012-08-23.
Let me know if you can recreate this and if or when there will be a fix.

Hi Tim,
I'm glad to see you've been configuring your On100, but sad to see you've hit another snag. We are looking into this issue now. I'll get back to you with an update.
Thanks,
The OnPlus Team

When creating a report, "Available Data Sources" is missing options.
