1598993 - Logon Failed. Error in File xxx.rpp... when using ADO .NET dataset with TTX based reports (64 bit)

Symptom

  • Reports based on legacy TTX files
  • Using CRVS2010 SDK for VS 2010 to pass an ADO .NET dataset to the reports
  • Using 32 bit application results in no errors
  • Using a 64 bit application results in the error:

Logon Failed. Error in File xxx.rpt: Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters

Environment

  • VS2010
  • CRVS2010

Cause

  • Reports created off of TTX files looks for the file crdb_fielddef.dll
  • When using a 32 bit application the file is located in the folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86 folder

  • There is no 64 bit crdb_fielddef.dll (C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64)

Resolution

Another solution is to simply load your data into a Dataset and then use the 3 lines blow to set the report data source to the Dataset.

Note: Datasets are limited to the amount of data used. Example below is also to simplify the dataset is filled from XSD structure file.

System.Data.DataSet ds = new System.Data.DataSet();

ds.ReadXml(@"D:\Atest\906445\sc.xsd", XmlReadMode.ReadSchema);

rptClientDoc.DatabaseController.SetDataSource(DataSetConverter.Convert(ds), "testCrystalData");

Update: R&D has reviewed this work around and will add a DataSetConverter property to the SetDataSource API so you do not need to convert it manually. Update to follow...
