Hello,
I'm using the Crystal Reports Java SDK from Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0 (normal Java code, no JSP) and trying to change the database during runtime. Here's my code snippet:
final PropertyBag newConnectionProperties = new PropertyBag();
final IConnectionInfo newConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
newConnectionProperties.put("Use JDBC", true);
newConnectionProperties.put("Connection URL", "jdbc:jtds:sybase://IP:PORT/DATABASE_NAME");
newConnectionProperties.put("Database Class Name", "net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver");
newConnectionProperties.put("Database DLL", "crdb_jdbc.dll");
newConnectionInfo.setAttributes(newConnectionProperties);
try {
newConnectionInfo.setUserName("USER_NAME"); newConnectionInfo.setPassword("PASSWORD"); final IConnectionInfo oldConnectionInfo = reportClientDocument.getDatabaseController().getConnectionInfos(null).getConnectionInfo(0); reportClientDocument.getDatabaseController().replaceConnection(oldConnectionInfo, newConnectionInfo, null, 0);
}
catch (ReportSDKException exception) {
}
The problem is that Crystal Reports always connects to the database specified during design time in the report. Lets assume there are two databases on the same server: DATABASE_DEVELOPMENT and DATABASE_TEST. During design time, the report has been configured to connect to the development database. But during runtime, I'd like to connect to the test database (or maybe a production database). This does not work with the above code (assuming that the DATABASE_NAME in the connection URL is replaced with DATABASE_DEVELOPMENT or DATABASE_TEST). What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in Advance!
