I have a Tomcat 5.5 running which includes a Webapp with the Java Reporting Components (JRC) 2008.
The Server has a different data source than the client, and currently I set it with the setConnection() functions on the tables, and it works fine. The downside is, that this taken 800ms (Damn slow crystal) just to set the datasources.
Since Crystal Reports seem to use JNDI, how do I configure JNDI in my app? Can this be done programmatically, or do I have to specify the data sources in the web.xml?
Okey, I found out for myself.
Add the Datasource to the context.xml of the Tomcat Server, and add a ref to the web.xml! Now Crystal is happyly taking this datasource and no manual relinking of datasources is needed.

I am having a project where we want to migrate from WebLogic Server to JBoss.
The project is WebPortal Build using Beehive and NetUI, NetUIX xml portal/portlets.
Is it possible to migrate those directly to Jboss with very limited changes to view like the entire structure can be reused in view which is defined in .portal files.
I also doubt that we can use tiles instead of using portals in JBoss, as Tiles when getting loaded in browser are not going to call to individual controller's begin methods and load default content from there.
I request you to please help me find solution for this migration problem.
Thanks,
Amit
From my experience, the migration from weblogic portal to jboss required a rewrite of the entire application.
If you are using weblogic portal (perhaps a 9.x version since you mentioned netui), i.e. the portal framework on top of weblogic server, there are far too many libraries specific to the portal framework p13n and netui alike that requires migration with no guarantee that these will be supported in Jboss.
Likely to face trouble retrieving entitlements from the p13n jars for users.
Regarding netui beehive, I think that is retired now (not sure), but I didn't got much support for it besides there are more lightweight frameworks out there that can help.
We are using XenApp to open Report Builder. Currently it's connected to the production server and connects with progress db.
Now we are in a process of moving to new production server.We need to make sure what are all the configuration files used to connect with report builder with that particuler production server.
Where are the server and db details defined in the report builder?
Are there any confiquration files used for Report Builder?
Current Progress version in production 9.1.
You need to look into your short cut/batch-file starting the report builder and refer to:

Chapter 1 of the Report Builder Users Guide

The settings can basically reside either in files (standard extensions .ini and .pf) or in the registry of your server (given it's a windows server which it most likely is since you're running report builder on it).

I have a Weblogic server configured in Eclipse with a local database as the data source. When debugging issues it would be nice to be able to connect to the database the test group is using. I thought I would be able to clone the default "myserver" in the default mydomain and create new data sources which point to the test groups database. I've done this but now I'm attempting to figure out how to start this new server and deploy my application to it through Eclipse.
I don't really care how it works, I just need to be able to easily switch between the two data sources, either through the Weblogic admin console or through eclipse via multiple servers. Being able to clone the current server would be nice since it's configuration is rather complex or just switch the sources out.
Any ideas on how to accomplish this would be much appreciated.
The JNDI name must be different, because it connects through the JNDI name Every data source should have unique JNDI name.
I'm using Glassfish server 4.0 as my app server for a java project in NetBeans 7.3.1. I have a database schema which I would like to include in my server as a database. Is there a way to generate the database in Glassfish based on a previous schema?
The extensions of the files are .frm and there's one .opt file.
Also, does Glassfish include a visual interface to modify a database's table's properties and registries?
Thanks in advance.
The answer to your the last part of your question is no. Glassfish itself does not include a visual interface for modifying database tables, properties etc. It includes a visual interface for creating JDBC Connection Pools and JDBC Resources. I personally use one integrated into my IDE of choice, Netbeans may have this feature, I happen to use IDEA. In production you could use any 3rd party app that does this, TOAD being a popular one but there are many.
I have some thoughts on the first part of your question but nothing ready to put into an answer at this point. When I do I'll update this one if its still an open question.
I have 3 different machines with Crystal Reports Server XI R2 installed. They are at different subnets pointing to different oracle databases with same schema definition but different names (dev, test, production).
I got a rpt file created on the development environment, pointing to the "dev" schema.
All went fine. The report executed successfully.
When i got the same rpt and published it in the test server, i could not change the datasource location. It appears that the rpt file keep fixed the datasource that was used in its creation.
Anyone knows how can i change the datasource of a rpt file, making it independent of database location and independent of the database used by the designer?
Thanks
I assume from the question that the different Oracle databases have different database names, but the same schema name - something like OperationalDB on dev, test and live? (It's more complicated if they have different schema names.)
If so, then it depends on what sort of Driver you're using.
If using an ODBC driver, then simply set up different ODBC sources (pointing to the appropriate database) with the same data source name on each of the Crystal machines.
If using a native Oracle driver, then I suggest editing the TNSNAMES.ORA file on each of the machines so that they each have the same TNS name pointing to the appropriate database.
If using a native Oracle driver and you are unable to edit the TNSNAMES.ORA file (for example, if it is a shared network file instead of being located on each of the Crystal machines), then you will need to change the datasource location in the Report Designer (or via the API, if accessing Crystal through one) each time you transfer a report from one machine to another.
