Hi Noor
I'm pasting the SAP note for you:
TCP/IP might not be enabled in the SQL Server Configuration Manager
1.Properties for SQL server selected  to allow SQL server &
Windows authentication.
- To do this: In SQL server Management studio-Right click on Server -Properties - Security -
choose Allow SQL server & Windows authentication
2. Under Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -> configuration tools ->
Configuration Manager - client protocols - enable the tcp/ip
3.In SQL server configuration manager  SQL server 2005 Network configuration - enable the TCP/IP
4. In SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration
- Surface Area Configuration for services and connections
- Expand SQL 2005 - Database Engine - Remote Connections
- Choose Local and remote connections and select using both TCP/IP nad named pipes
5. In SQL Server Management Studio -> Right click on the server instance -> stop the service and start again.
Hope this helps

  • DESKI Report using Temp tables in MS- SQL server 2005

    Pratik, the SQL does not seem right. BTW you can only retreive data via Deski Free hand SQL. Also try to use OLE DB connection.

  • Crystal Reports 9 and SQL Server 2005 default parameter values

    We're using Crystal Reports 9 and upgraded from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005.
    I'm noticing a very weird problem which I wonder if anyone else has experienced (and hopefully found a resolution for). It appears that in using Crystal with SQL Server 2005 stored procedures, if we have default parameter values in the stored procedures, the default parameter values get completely ignored if you pass in a NULL value from Crystal!
    For example, if you have a stored procedure that begins like this:
    ALTER          Procedure [dbo].[StoredProcedure]
    @Param1 VarChar(200) = '',
    @Param2 VarChar(200) = ''
    AS ...
    both @Param1 and @Param2 have a default value of an empty string, and therefore should become empty strings if nothing (NULL values) gets passed in for them.
    But, like I said, what I'm finding is that with Crystal calling the stored procedure with NULL @Param1 and @Param2 values, they never become empty strings, but rather remain as NULLs.
    This was never a problem with SQL 2000.
    Very perplexing. Anyone else every experience this?
    Thank you.

    Please ignore my earlier post -- answered my own question.
    NULL parameter values do not get replaced by default values in SQL -- that is normal behavior in both SQL 2000 and SQL 2005. Just goes to show, that no many how many years programming experience you have, you can still get tripped up sometimes : (

  • Crystal Report 8.5 with SQL SERVER 2005 problems

    Post Author: AREVA
    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
    Hi All !We have some problems with Crystal Reports version 8.5 with SQL Server 2005: 1) When we want to generate a report (using data in SQL Server 2005) we have a popup message error : "impossible to loaded pdssql.dll".2) If we want to use SQL Server 2005, which Crystal Reports version we must used ? Is there any restrictions with this connectivity with 8.5 version ?Please, let me known, all informations about SQL Server 2005 and Crystal Report 8.5.Thanks for all !Best regards Anthony

    Hello Kamlesh,
    There is no expectation that the ActiveX viewer (RDC?) from CR8.5 will work in any version of Visual Studio .NET. There is also no expectation that the ActiveX viewer from CR8.5 will work on a machine with a 64 bit operating system.
    You're using VS2008. You should migrate to the bundled edition of CR for VS2008 (v10.5), the ReportDocument object, and the .NET Windows form viewer or Web form viewer.
    Sincerely,
    Dan Kelleher

  • Is there a way to convert Crystal Reports to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 reporting services?

    Post Author: Lourdes Hernandez
    CA Forum: General
    Our department has always worked with and we love Crystal Reports. Unfortunately, certain reports now need to be converted to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 reporting services which from what I read I think they are *.rdl reports. Does Crystal reports have any way around this? I would have to learn this other tool when I'm already so happy with Crystal. I was thinking If I could just code the report in crystal and export it in a specific format that would be compatible Microsoft, the problem would be solved.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Ditto!
    There are some software packages to convert from CR to RS, but none work 100% AFAIK, and will require manual tuning.
    Seems like a big hassle and learning curve just to get reports published via another method - I know I'd put up huge resistance if they tried to take my CR away from me!

  • I plan to upgrade the SSRS 2005 SP2 enterprise edition in our internal web server to 2005 SP4, the Reporting server database is hosted in another sql server in sql server 2005 SP4. Do I need to do anything on the reporting server database side?

    My question is what the steps do I need to take to upgrade SSRS from 2005 SP2 to SP4.  The web server that host the SSRS is in 2005 SP2, and the OS is in window 2003. 
    Our SSRS report server and report server database are in different servers.  The SSRS in the web server is in 2005 SP2 enterprise edition, the report server database is in sql server 2005 SP4 enterprise edition.
    To upgrade the SSRS in web server from 2005 sp2 to sp4, do I need to backup/restore the encryption key?  Nothing will be changed in the report server database.  We will still pointing to the same database in the current server, all
    I wanted to do is performing a inplace upgrade of SSRS from 2005 SP2 to SP4.  
    Any response will be greate appreciated.  Thank you!

    Hi Lihui Chen,
    According to your description, you want to install the Services Pack 4 for SQL Server. Right?
    In SQL Server, Services Packs are used for fixing issues of current version product. It's not an Upgrade, you don't have to backup/restore your encryption key. You just need to download the Service Pack 4 on:
    Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 4 RTM  . Please make sure you have administrative rights on the computer to install SQL Server 2005 SP4. For more information, see links below:

  • How to save landscape print layout for report designed in SQL Server 2005

    How to save page setup for a report wich was designed in SQL Server 2005 RS?  Each time report is previewed, I have to change portrate to landscape orientation and left and right marging from 0,5 to 0,25, to be able to see all fieldas on the report.
    Thanks!

    Hi, Marina;
    Which version of Crystal Reports are you using? Once you set a report to Landscape, and save the report, it should stay that way, unless you change to a different printer.

  • How Crystal Report XI connect o sql server 2005

    hi
    i am tring to create a report connecting to sql server 2005, however, i could not find a proper provider to connect sql server 2005, and i found Microsoft OLE DB provider for sql is only suited for sql server 2000 and earlier version, and i dont want to use ODBC connecting, so my question if there is other way to connect sql 2005 in the Crystal report XI?

    Hi
    Due to timing of product release dates, Crystal Reports XI was not tested with Microsoft SQL Server 2005. The changes made to connectivity drivers for MS SQL Server 2005 are significant and have been addressed in Crystal Reports XI Release 2.
    As per Supported platforms document of CR XI only the below SQL servers are supported:
    Microsoft SQLServer 2000 SP3 with
    - ODBC MDAC 2.8
    -JDBC SQLServer 2000
    - OLEDB MDAC 2.8
    Microsoft SQLServer 7.0 SP4 with
    -ODBC MDAC 2.7
    -OLEDB MDAC 2.7
    However MS SQL Server 2005 is mentioned as supported in CRXIR2 as below:
    MS SQL Server 2005 with
    - Microsoft ODBC MDAC 2.8
    -Microsoft ODBC SNAC (Native Client)
    -Microsoft OLEDB MDAC 2.8
    -Microsoft OLEDB SNAC (Native Client)
    Contact your sales representative to obtain a copy of Crystal Reports XI Release 2. A minor product update is required for CR XI Release 2 to enable reporting off MS SQL Server 2005.
    For more information regarding changes in CRXI and CRXIR2 please refer to the documentations in the link provided by Amit.
    Hope this helps!!

  • Requirements of SQL Server 2005 Stored Procedures to Develop Crystal Report

    Hi All,
       I want to learn how to create crystal report off of SQL Server 2005 Stored Procedure. So anybody please let me know from where I can download the documentation on "Requirements of SQL Server 2005 Stored Procedures for crystal report.
      I am using Crystal Report XI. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank You.

    Hello,
    When CR uses Stored Porcedures we only look at the last SELECT statement. We can't use TMP tables because they are owned by the system and not the user. Even though you created them under your logon credentials you are not the actual owner. Or so I have found so far.... CR does not have permissions to get to those temp tables. If you can find out dynamically what the table names are called then it may work. I don't have a sample but it has the usual table info with a random GUID or temp name, really long, and changes every time.
    What should work is create a real table, not one of MS's tempTables and then push all your data to that table and then the last select statement returns all of your data from that temp table:
    SELECT * FROM MYTEMPTABLE.DBO.TABLE.
    Then CR should ahve no issues.
    It may be that the JDBC driver has problems. Test it using OLE DB or ODBC.
    Thanks again

  • MS-SQL Server 2005 SP1 vs MS-SQL Native Client 2008 or 2012

    Hello,
    I woud like to know if it's possible to use on a computer Windows Seven, the MS-SQL Native Client 2008 or 2012, and connect it on a MS-SQL Server 2005 (under Windows 2003 enterprise).
    Regards,

    Hello,
    Yes, the SQL Server Native client is backward compatible, means you can use Client 2008 or higher to connect to a SQL Server 2005.
    With some limitations the client is also forward compatible, means you can use a client 2005 to connect to SQL Server 2008 and higher; but the client isn't aware of new server features.

  • CR with VS 2003 Oracle vs SQL Server 2005

    VS2003
    Windows XP
    All Crystal Reports designed using "push" model (Seting the Report Document's SetDataSource property using a single table dataset)
    I have a large VS2003 application (90+ Crystal Reports) using an Oracle database.  The client wants to switch to SQL Server 2005.  The application works with SQL Server "as is" except for the Crystal Reports.  A query engine error is generated.  The tables/views are quite simple using only integers, decimals, char and varchar columns, no datetime columns.   The dataset's  Name and datatable's Name are the same, the only difference is the data provider used.  Microsoft's Oracle Data provider vs Microsoft's SQL Server Data provider. Any thoughts? Any workarounds?.
    I am in the process of converting the application to VS2008 and the problem does not exist in the VS2008 version.  Crystal Reports converted from VS2003 to VS2008 work with either database/data provider.,
    Edit: It appears that Oracle does not differentiate between datatypes decimal and int32.  Any thoughts. (Not the problem)

    An assumption here is that your .NET 2003 app is using the bundled version of CR(?) - version 9.1. If that is the case, make sure you have updated your install with SP1:

    Not sure how this relates to Crystal Reports as such? But let's work on one issue per thread. If you want to work the data type issue more, please create a new thread. Otherwise, these things get too messy...
