I am using CR 2008. That version allows the use dynamic parameters instead of static parameter. Using that type of parameter will direct CR to go inside the table/view and display what is resided inside the database for us to select the data/information for filtering. That is nice and convenient feature but each time I run the report, I was prompted with server name, user name and password. The user name is the name of the schema and its related password. Those credentials are not supposed to be disclosed to users.
Have anyone come across the same issue and how do you stop CR report from asking for these credentials? It did not ask when I switch to static parameters... the prompt only shows up when dynamic parameters are used.
Thanks!
I finally found a way to get around this issue. In my Crystal report, I used SQL statement in the command for easy future maintenance. I think using command triggers the prompt for user name and password when dynamic parameters is used. I switched to use views for my reports and CR stopped asking me for the credentials. I still favor using commands instead of views though and still curious if there is a way to stop CR from prompting for credential in dynamic parameters when command is used.
Are facing this issue in CR tool or in any other environment which is used to view the report.

We have an Apex application (version 20.1) and our users must be able to change the database schema at runtime via button click (preferably without logging in again).
Currently we are solving this by installing our application multiple times, once per schema.
We recently discovered the function apex_export.get_application. We intend to use this function to bring our frontend under version control (finally!). We would like to deploy our application directly from the exported files. Having a single application, we would not have to mess with the internal component ids from the exported files.
Is it possible to install the application once and change the default schema via Pl/SQL code? Thank you!
I don't think this can be done, but perhaps the following is a reasonable compromise
add all the schemas you need to support to the workspace schema list
Any SQL (and I do mean any) in your app would be prefixed with an application item, eg
Before: select * from my_table
After: select * from &my_schema..my_table
At login time (or when a user selects it) you modify the MY_SCHEMA application item
(I've not tried this...so test/tread carefully)
I have an ORACLE 12c form which displays a list of files stored in the database. The form allows a user to import and export these files using webutils. It all works fine, but if I change the form to automatically export a file on startup (using exactly the same code as a user would use if they pressed the Export button, but without having the user to press anything), the form complains that it can't find webutils. What is causing this behaviour?
Since I posted this question, I ran across two sites which said that you can't call webutils via WNFI unless you use a timer. I am yet to try this at work, but it certainly sounds like the way to go.
I have a question similar to this one, but I am using VS 2008 and an Oracle database (with Oracle SQL Developer). How do I get rid of the report credentials in VS? Thank you.
One of the easiest ways to get rid of this is to supply a username and password for the database in question on the reporting server. The URL is usually something like http://localhost/reports. Usually, users created for this type of connection have minimal read-only rights needed for the specific report. The disadvantages to this type of connection is that it's a one-user-fits-all situation. But because of the error message you are getting, it appears that your wish is to supply a specific user name and password rather than use Windows security--which is just fine.
To get here, click Security from the report drop-down list on the main page. Then, click the Credentials stored securely on the report server. Then, here's an issue that get's lots of folks--click the Apply button at the bottom to save the changes. Sometimes the Apply button is not visible and you need to scroll down to click it.
Now, if you're accessing your report through ReportViewer in VS then the following link may provide some help:
http://www.sql-server-performance.com/2012/accessing-ssrs-reports-report-viewer-web-page/
Alternately, you can create or add to a web.config file:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.reporting.webforms.ireportservercredentials.aspx
p.s. based on our chat, try adding the following to your web.config connection string--if you have one(with the respective user name and password)--if, indeed you're using Oracle's ODP.net:
providerName="Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client" connectionString="User Id=oracle_user;Password=oracle_user_password

I have not figure out how to solve this from the database. What I did was, comment out this line of code from the XML of the report:
<Prompt>Specify a user name and password for data source XXX</Prompt>
If you have the correct credential info in the <value> tag, your report should be loaded with username and password parameters without problems.
I have added a custom profile field named 'Relatiecode' to my user profile according to the SDN developer guide. I have entered a value via the sitecore User Manager. More specifically, I set it to '0000008' for the user extranet\coordinator8, and 0000001 for the user extranet\coordinator1, like this:
I have verified that this is also stored in the sql database
however, when I attempt to access the data in my asp.Net webform (sublayout, actually), the field appears to be empty for user 'coordinator8'. What really confuses me is that it seems to be working perfectly for user 'coordinator1'. See below:
I'm at a loss! What am I doing wrong? Thoughts?
sitecore version 6.5
Not the solution, but because of deadlines I decided to go with a makeshift solution... we're storing the fields in a custom SQL database now, and querying it with NHibernate.
Crystal Reports 11 (craxdrt.dll 11.5.7.1048)
Windows 7
I'm using Crystal Reports to export to a PDF document, using CRYSTALCRAXDRT::IReport::Export, and am getting an error, Windows 7 only.
"There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel."
Again, I'm not trying to send email, just create a document.
I've put forth a little debugging effort into this, and what seems to be happening is this:
I call into craxdrt.dll via the IReport interface, function Export(...), and then, monitoring with procmon, I find that there are several hundred registry queries for default mailer, contacts, etc.
It would seem that craxdrt.dll is building a large-ish data structure ahead of the task with whatever info it might need for a family of functions.
There's an error posted when the program can't find a default email client
Problems with this:
Windows 7 does not ship with a default email client, and early investigation seems to indicate that installing one does not necessarily ameliorate the problem. In any case, I do not expect all of our clients to have one installed, nor do our clients expect to have one installed by us.
Absent the actual need for an email client (i.e., in the above case), we're still getting this error message pop-up.
Note:
Interestingly, this doesn't actually prevent the user from pressing the export button again, and in fact if the user does this, the error does not show up, as the registry queries are apparently done only once per load or use of craxdrt.dll.
I think you are missing setting the ExportOptions before exporting:
Dim crxReport As Report
Set crxReport = Prepare()
crxReport.ExportOptions.FormatType = crEFTPortableDocFormat
crxReport.ExportOptions.DestinationType = crEDTDiskFile
crxReport.ExportOptions.DiskFileName = "C:\temp\Report.PDF"
crxReport.Export (False)
