Problem with configuring crystal report XI with postgre database - postgresql

We are using Crystal Report XI with DB2 data base for our Application .Now we have new request to develop a report from some other application which has postgre data base.
So same thing we tried with postgre data base that what we did in DB2 data base.
We installed the postgre odbc driver and Test the connection was successfull. But when i tried open from crystal report design, I dont find postgre data source in the list.
What are all the steps needs to do, to connect Crystal Report XI with Postgre database?
Please help me what I am missing here.
Thanks,
Naveen

Perhaps you configured a 64-bit ODBC DSN.
Crystal is a 32-bit application.
You need to configure a 32-bit DSN.

crystal reports 13 Oracle connection problem

I'm trying to migrate a small .NET application (VS2008, Crystal Report 10, OS Win7 32-bit)
The application has got 2 reports that use some data of an oracle database version 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.1).
When I upgrade the application (VS2019Pro, latest Crystal Report (CR13SP25), OS Win10 64-bit) the application itself runs as expected and the 2 crystal reports show the proper data.
It's only when I open Database Expert in crystal report designer and try to access the Oracle connection, I receive an error when trying to pull the list of tables of that connection.
I've tried all 3 possible Oracle connections and all of them give a (different) error:
(1) Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle (MSDAORA): "ADO error code: 0x80004005 - Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-01019"
(2) OLE DB for Oracle (OraOLEDB.Oracle): "ADO error code: 0x8000ffff"
(3) Oracle Server (crdb oracle): "Unknown error in database connector"
Now the weird part is that sometimes I do have access to those 3 connections in Database Expert, meaning the list of tables becomes visible.
This happens very rarely and doesn't last for a long time. I've also noticed that when this happens I can access all 3 different connections, so it's "all or nothing".
This behaviour is the same when I create a new solution and add a new crystal report or when I use Visual Studio 2017 Professional instead of 2019.
Anybody has an idea on how to fix this kind of behaviour?
Thanks in advance!
Finally managed to solve this one.
First I opened the old project in Visual Studio 2019, triggering the conversion screens of both the solution itself and Crystal Reports (choose Yes).
Since my original solution was using the (obsolete) Microsoft OLE DB connection for Oracle I’d first created a new connection, in Database Expert (in An existing Crystal Report), that used the OLE DB provider of Oracle situated in OLE DB (ADO).
Next I replaced the old connection by the new one (again in Database Expert).
After applying this to all of the existing reports, everything was working properly!

Performance comparison between Jasper server and Penatho BI server for the reports

I wanted know the performance comparison between the Jasper server and Pentaho server.
for instance, when i run the report in the these server, which is more faster.
Both of them use same Jasper Report libraries for generating reports. So, there is no difference.

Connect Crystal reports with mongoDB

I am currently using CrystalREports 2013.
I have following configuration in CRConfig.xml file
<JDBCURL>localhost:27017</JDBCURL>
<JDBCClassName>jdbc:mongodb</JDBCClassName>
I have also copied the mongo-2.10.1.jar file in the lib directory under C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\java\lib folder.
downloaded mongo-2.10.1.jar from https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-java-driver/downloads
When I open Crystal Reports and open new crystal reports. I try to connect to JDBC(JNDI) through the available Datasources option, upon click of finish, I get following error.. Failed to open the connection. Details: JDBC driver not found.
Some help in configuration in CRConfig.xml would be of great help.
MongoDB is a NoSQL database and therefore does not support JDBC connections, there's no JDBC driver for it. You won't be able to connect a standard reporting tool like Crystal reports to MongoDB.
You have a few alternative options:
I've heard that JasperSoft have tools for reporting against MongoDB
You can write a job that exports your MongoDB data into a traditional SQL database and connect Crystal to the SQL database
You can write your own tool to pull information out of MongoDB using one of the language drivers.
Looks like it worked with UnityJDBC : http://www.unityjdbc.com/mongojdbc/mongo_jdbc.php
Settings in CRConfig.xml file are as follows.
<Classpath>C:\mongodb\jdbcdriver\mongo-java-driver- 2.11.2.jar;C:\mongodb\jdbcdriver\mongodb_unityjdbc.jar;
<JDBC>
<CacheRowSetSize>100</CacheRowSetSize>
<JDBCURL>jdbc:mongo://localhost:27017/claimLoadingDB</JDBCURL>
mongodb.jdbc.MongoDriver

CR Oracle ODBC driver

I have Crystal report 10 and need to connect to oracle db. Am looking for
CR Oracle ODBC driver. Where can i get it from.Please help.
You have to install your ODBC driver in Windows by going to Control Panel, then Administrative Tools, then Data Sources (ODBC).
Click the Add button, and you should see Microsoft ODBC for Oracle as an available choice. Installing this driver does require that you have the correct Oracle drivers installed first. Once you have finished installing, Crystal Reports must be restarted to see the change.
Once these steps are completed you should have Oracle Database in your list of choices for an ODBC connection in CR.
