Hi, buddies:
I have a simple but not easy to solve problem after efforts seeking for helps. My expectation is to change my jdbc connection URL by modifying a xml file or use administrative console in crystal report server XI. Not just open the designer, open my rpt file, and user "database expert" to re-map my tables again.
How?
My practice is:
1, in crytal report 2008, create my new rpt file, and use "JDBC" as my database connection;
2, I can connect to the database and drag and draw the tables to rpt after my jdbc connection and classpath is fine.
3, I publish to the testing server which the destination database is identical to my rpt;
4, it is fine to open by setting up the right classpath in CRConfig.xml file.
BUT, I will publish to the production server which my destination for datase is different from my previous URL.
How can I change it? It seems very silly to open each rpt files to reroute the database file-by-file.
Can crystal report provide a confortable way to do it?
(I got some hints by googling the question and it is related to JNDI instead of JDBC, but how can I access the JNDI server when I using crystal report designer 2008).
This problem drive me crazy and desperately want your help!!
