Hello,

I have a Crystal report developed based on Universe as the data source. Say this report is in Dev environment. Suppose I need to promote this report to Test environment to UAT or production then how is it possible?    

I have used import wizard using this I am able to move my report from one environment to another. report is successfully moved from source to destination but when I go to refresh the crystal report, an error is thrown (both in Crystal Report designer and Info view) :

"Failed to open the connection. 

Details:
Update of the SQL command from the Universe failed. This report cannot be
refreshed unless the SQL command is updated from the Universe."

As such the Dev copy works fine. Please suggest me how to move a report from 1 environment to another.

If I changes connection manually in UAT Database --> Set Database location -->update then same report work fine,

But I have multiple reports I cannot manually edit connection of each report.

Useful details as below.

Crystal Reports 2008 (Service Pack 1)

Business Objects 3.1 

View the connection details in report.

Set database location

Expand Universe connection

Properties - It will show server details of connection- user name - universe name- path of universe

Kindly advice.

I have been at this for 2 days and can't seem to crack it. I have tried 4 different machines and 2 different version of Crystal and no matter what I do I get this same error.

Current Configuration - using Crystal 2013 SP1, Java 7 Update 60 both x86 and x64 version installed (have tried with just x86).

I have tried 100 different attempts at the CRConfig.xml but here is what I currently have. The paths in " " are the ones I have added and I have tried them with quotes and without. I have tried using the SAP jre that comes with Crystal and as you can see trying it with standard jre now. The vendor I need to connect to runs Oracle and PostGRE, I believe I am connecting to their Oracle but they aren't much on support and I'm not sure they really know, so it could be either and I can't use standard connect types, have to use JDBC. They support Pentaho but that has other problems and I've never used it, so it's quicker and easier for me to use Crystal and not learn a whole new package. Pentaho connects using the same URL and I am using the JDBC drivers they are, still get nothing but JDBC driver not found through Crystal. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, I really need to get this report done and have no way right now of doing it.

Somewhere I heard that an Excel 2010 spreadsheet can be used as a data source for a Crystal Report developed in Crystal Reports 2011.  So far we have not been successful in making this happen.  Can this really be done?  We have been using an Excel 97-2003 spreadsheet with Crystal Reports XIr2 but the company standard is not Excel 2010.

I have a report that works fine using ODBC to a SQL Server set of data. I now need to modify the report and link to a CSV file that will supply an additional set of data. I have created an ODBC to the CSV file; Have included it into the Report and done a LINK in the Database Expert. All of the fields now show in my Field Explorer. BUT - if I try to Drag a field to the report it doesn't move across; Also tried to create a new subreport - and can't select; Even tried a Formula - and add a field to it - but won't let me select. Any ideas would be very helpful. \phil

HI All,

My Environment details:

SAP Crystal report for enterprise: 14.1.2.1171

Build 2013 support pack2 patch 1.

BW 730.

I am developing a report in Crystal report for enterprise 4.0.using a BEX query, however i could not able to get the data into the report.

My observations :

• I could able to see data in the BEX Analyzer with same Bex Query.
• i can see data when i create a new Crystal report with the same query.
• I have hierarhical data and group sections and subreports in my report.
• i observed that browse data option is disabled in CR4E when i tried to check to see data is coming or not.

Please help me if anyone faced this issue before.

Thanks in advance,

Dear Experts,

I'm facing problem when using Crystal Report Enterprise 4.0.

It's so slow when I retrieve data and design time.

Now I'm using BI 4.0 SP9.

Please help me if you have any suggestion.

Best regards,

Chenna

We are switching our database to Oracle, and need to modify various Crystal Reports to use the Oracle ODBC connection.  The reports are designed by the vendor to connect to a schema called "saba_report", and there are synonyms for various views to the "TP2" schema.  When I try to add one of the synonyms, it doesn't show me any synonyms, only the stored procedures.  When I open an existing report that already contains synonyms, I can see the views, but if I attempt to add new synonyms, nothing is there.  If I attempt to verify the database, it verifies after several minutes.  If I attempt to open the connection and see the views that already exist in the report that I just verified, it tells me they aren't there.

When I look at the connection options, the data explorer section says I'm looking at tables, views, synonyms, and stored procedures.  The "table_name LIKE" and "owner_name LIKE" are both blank.

The operating system is Windows XP Professional version 2002 SP3.  The Oracle version is 11g (11.2.0.2.0).  Crystal reports version is Crystal Reports 2008 (12.3.0.601).  The stored procedure returns a refcursor.  The ODBC connection is created using the "Oracle in OraClient11g_home1" driver.  When I test the connection, it tells me it was successful.

Can anyone shed some light on what the problem might be.

Thanks.

I am attempting to execute a stored procedure within Crystal Reports.  However, when I'm in the database expert and select the stored procedure, when I click the > button to move it into the selected area, nothing happens.  The stored procedure does not move over, and in the list of stored procedures, it is no longer selected.

After significant efforts, I identified that the sole cause of this issue is that the stored procedure has an input parameter of "domainList001".  Crystal Reports 2008 will not accept this as an input parameter.  It accepts domainList, domainList1, domainList01, domainList0001, but not domainList001.

The operating system is Windows XP Professional version 2002 SP3.  The Oracle version is 11g (11.2.0.2.0).  Crystal reports version is Crystal Reports 2008 (12.3.0.601).  The stored procedure returns a refcursor.  The ODBC connection is created using the "Oracle in OraClient11g_home1" driver.  When I test the connection, it tells me it was successful.

If it matters, and I suspect it does, the Crystal Reports installation is from Saba systems, and one of the parameters that it can pass to Crystal Reports is domainList001.  However, the stored procedure is also using other parameters that the Saba report system automatically passes, and there are no issues with those parameters.

Can anyone shed any light on this subject?

We are using an Oracle database for the first time with our Crystal Reports, and I am attempting to modify a report to use a new stored procedure.  When I attempt to add either the new procedure, or to add a new copy of the existing procedure, I get an error message:

Unknown Database Connector Error

If I remove the existing procedure first (leaving no database objects at all), and then attempt to add back exactly the same stored procedure that I just removed, I get a different error message:

Database Connector Error: '42000:[Oracle][ODBC]Syntax error or access violation'

Neither of these errors is particularly helpful.  The stored procedure in question works as is.  I can run it in SQL Developer, and it also executes within the existing report if I run it.  Unfortunately, it needs to be modified and given a new name, so I need to be able to add the new stored procedure to the report.

The operating system is Windows XP Professional version 2002 SP3.  The Oracle version is 11g (11.2.0.2.0).  Crystal reports version is Crystal Reports 2008 (12.3.0.601).  The stored procedure returns a refcursor.  The ODBC connection is created using the "Oracle in OraClient11g_home1" driver.  When I test the connection, it tells me it was successful.

If it matters, the report is a Saba report.

Can anyone shed any light on what the problem is and how to fix it.  If the solution is to upgrade the Windows version, that is under the control of our tech support and there is no information available as to when it will happen.

Hello, we have 2 guys using version 11.5 CR Developer, we have been using for years and not had any issues. We have 2 other guys now on the latest version of SAP CR Developer version 14.0.4.738.

Problem

When we run the reports using the newer version it returns lower figures that the older version which are correct, I have tried changing this and that including saved data and 2 separate reports for each version with the exact same setup but still the newer version are much lower than the other versions. It simply does not make sense unless the newer version is reading differently to the other version. One other thing is when I read using any viewer I get the correct data returned, so this is the SAP 14.0.4 version issue.

Can anyone advise on this one?

Thanks

Hello all,

I'm currently using Crystal Reports 2008 for SYSPRO with SQL Server 2008 R2, which has brought me to this inquiry...

I would like to have a SQL Update Statement to run every time this report is opened for a particular job(s) that updates a value in a SQL table for the particular job(s). After much questioning and research, I've arrived at the conclusion of utilizing the Command feature in Crystal and adding one to my report, which might be exactly what I'm looking for.

The only unknown I'm dealing with is if it's at all possible to add the dynamic parameter from my report into the Command object which will run my SQL update statement.

Is this possible? Or is there another Crystal feature for this.

Any input will be greatly appreciated!

Why mysql odbc 3.51 connect crystal report 9.0 not show database table

I'm used odbc 5.1 can connect crystal report 9.0 but when run report is error and close program auto

I hope someone can help with an issue regarding dynamic parameter with stored procedure (SP) under Windows 7. They are very simple reports. The reports run well with static parameter, and run well with dynamic parameter linked to a table.  The problem appears as soon as adding a stored procedure to the report or linking the dynamic parameter linked to a stored procedure (SP).

The LOV error message is:

     Prompting failed
     with the following error messages” ‘List of Values failure: fail to get values.
     [Cause of error: The table ‘myStoredProcedure;1’ could not be found. Error in
     UNKNOWN.RPT:

   The table could not be found.]’.

                Error source: prompt.dll Error code: 0x800438D

I have tried the following test reports to identify the cause with two versions of Crystal Reports XI Professional Edition under Windows7.  The LOV error occurs when I use a stored procedure in the report.  The report runs well after declaring dynamic parameter but without using (which will ask user to select the value for the dynamic parameter). The error occurs as soon as the dynamic parameter is used.

1. Report 1: WORKs –  Report fields from one table with one dynamic parameter linked to a table
2. Report2: ERROR –    Report fields from one table with one dynamic parameter linked to a stored procedure
3. Report3: ERROR –    Report fields from one stored procedure with one dynamic parameter linked to a table
4. Report4: ERROR –    Report fields from one stored procedure with one dynamic parameter linked to a stored procedure
5. Report5: ERROR –    Report fields from one table and 1 SP with no dynamic parameter 
6. Report6: ERROR –    Report fields from one table and 1 SP with one dynamic parameter linked to a table

Hi, my name is Larry.

Has anyone gotten a resolution to the error message: Fatal system error , database is unreachable.

Hi all,

Can I make a TCPS Oracle JDBC Connection without certificate?

I would like to use SSL for encryption and data integrity only with Diffie-Hellman anonymous authentication.

I run report by CR java Runtime.

Where should I set the property:

("oracle.net.ssl_cipher_suites","(SSL_DH_anon_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,SSL_DH_anon_WITH_RC4_128_MD5,SSL_DH_anon_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA)")

I have CrystalReport 11 and java 6.

Thanks a lot,

Marco

We currently create Crystal Reports and create an Excel spreadsheet from it.  The spreadsheet is getting quite large and would like to zip it is that possible using Crystal Reports 2008?

Starting about 2 - 3 weeks ago I have been receiving the following msgs 1:Fatal system error -- Database is unreachable -- please email this message to webmaster  or Internet connection not detected.  I am using Cr 2008 SP4.  I have uninstalled and reloaded Crystal, repaired SP4, turned off the firewall, contacted my IT support and searched google.  Nothing seems to have helped.  Any ideas on what has happened.  *I have 3 machines and this has happened to each of them at about the same time.

Thanks in advance for help.

We have a lot of complex Crystal Reports using subreports and PL/SQL Stored Procedures against an Oracle 11g DB and are using the DataDirect Oracle Wire Protocol ODBC drivers version 05.30.0066. I was wondering if anyone can direct me to information about what settings on the driver are optimal for Crystal Reports performance in the environment we are using? Thanks.

Hi All,

I am working on a project which requires me to create an SAP Crystal Reports by consuming data from SAP RFC's. I am totally new to crystal reports and need help on crystal reports- SAP connectivity.

Crystal report 2011 already has an SAP integration kit. I am however struggling to get my SAP system when I try to add an SAP Info Sets data source.

I have also installed the SAP GUI and SAP BI tools.

Can anyone provide me with the steps to be performed in order to create crystal reports?

Dear support,

It was very strange that for a report that a report created using OLE DB ( MS for Oracle ).  When "Show SQL Query" all tables are properly prefixed with owner ( e.g. "OWNER"."TABLE_NAME" ).  When previewing data using Oracle user other than owner, the preview works fine.  However, when running the report in Crystal Viewer, all prefixes were gone. Since the user in Crystal Viewer is not the owner, ORA-00942 appears.  Please see attached CR log that displays the SQL within ( without table prefix "TFM". )

However, some report works, but not this particular report.  Is there any settings that can make it always prefixed with table owner?

Thanks!
