[SOLVED] Problem in connecting to report caster database.

Can anybody,

I need help in getting connection to report caster database............

At the begining I have sql server 2000 installed in my system, now it is 2005 installed. So, the JDBC jar files differs. I have updated in four places(becz sql server 2005 will have only one "jar" file to connect to report caster database)
1) Classpath.bat
2) Apache Tom cat Class path adjusted webserver
3) reportcaster configuration file.
4) Registry classpath

and tired to start the distribution server.
Its not getting connected. It is showing the following error msg

"Scheduler config error: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver"

I think, its not able to identify the JDBC class/jar file in order to connect to database.

What to and how to adjust when we migrate from sql server 2000 and Sqlserver 2005 in order to connect report caster Database/or to start the report caster distribution server.

Thanks,

Did you migrate the tables?

Did you run testcfg?

Hi GinnyJakes,

When I first installed WebFocus, I have Sqlserver 2000 Installed already in my system. Later I removed sqlserver 2000 and installed Sql Server 2005.

Doesn't matter. Please run the testcfg utility and see what it tells you. You have to go through all the debugging steps even if you think they are silly.

And frankly, I would open a case with IBI as CSS would be better suited to handle a problem such as this.

What are the values you set for the CLASSPATH in :\ibi\ReportCaster76\bin\classpath.bat?

What registry key did you set for ReportCaster windows reigistry and what value did you give it?

Does ReportCaster start from the command line and fail when started as a service?

If yes then make sure that you have put "" around the value in the registry key, especially if the path contains spaces. ie the value for My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Information Builders\ReportCaster\76\CLASSPATH on my machine is ".\lib\reportcaster.jar;C:\ibi\JDBC\sqljdbc.jar;". The quote marks are actually part of the value.

Again as Ginny suggests, turn on traces and run testcfg - if testcfg works than you know you have the classpath.bat value correct.

Cheers

Stu

Hi StuBouyer,

Sorry for late reply,

I set CLASSPATH=C:\sqljdbc2005\sqljdbc_1.2\enu\sqljdbc.jar;; along with other report caster jar files.

in Registry->Information Builders-> Report caster-> 760 -> CLASSPATH value set to ".\lib\reportcaster.jar;.\lib\activation.jar;.\lib\axis.jar;.\lib\bcmail-jdk14-131.jar;.\lib\bcprov-jdk14-131.jar;.\lib\commons-codec-1.3.jar;.\lib\commons-httpclient-3.0.jar;.\lib\commons-logging.jar;.\lib\log4j-1.2.14.jar;.\lib\ibi_xalan_2_7_0.jar;.\lib\commons_fileupload.1.1.1.jar;.\lib\commons_io.1.1.jar;.\lib\connector-api.jar;.\lib\ibi_xerces_2_7_1.jar;.\lib\ibi_xml_apis_1_3.jar;.\lib\jaxrpc.jar;.\lib\jlink.jar;.\lib\jnlp.jar;.\lib\jsch-0.1.25.jar;.\lib\jsp-api.jar;.\lib\ldap.jar;.\lib\ldapbp.jar;.\lib\mail.jar;.\lib\providerutil.jar;.\lib\servlet-api.jar;.\lib\sshtools-j2ssh.jar;.\lib\webfocus_caster.jar;.\lib\threed.jar;.\lib\caster_tools.jar;.\lib\rccreateutil.jar;C:\sqljdbc2005\sqljdbc_1.2\enu\sqljdbc.jar;;"

and for third question answer is

I don't have tables created for Report caster in the database itself to start the Report caster server command line. All I get this "schedule config error" is becz of the It is not able to refer or recognise the Jar file for sqlserver 2005.

Anyhow I asked my admin to reinstall entier Webfocus client s/w. Now it has created the database tables and also I was sucessfull in starting the RC distribution server



Thanks,
Subbu
