I've got a trial environment, including Crystal Server 2013, Crystal Reports for Enterprise (2013), and Client Tools. My ultimate goal is to implement a Crystal report with real-time refresh (SDK or webElements). In the interim, I'm trying to make the following simple scenario work: create DSN (note: I'm using a DSN created using the Windows ODBC Administrator) and postgresql (JDBC) connections in the Information Design Tool. Publish the connections to the server repository. Create Crystal reports that reference these data sources. Publish the reports the server repository. And, then to play with scheduling and adding webElements to the reports.
I'm stuck in Crystal Reports "save as", where I'm asked to change the connection to a BI Platform connection. I've got both DSN and postgresql connections in the repository. When I set target to the DSN, I get the error "unable to connect to repository". For the postgresql connection, I get the error "The data source Postgresql 8 is not supported".
Interestingly, I also tried a similar scenario using sample reports that come with the server download. Open a report from Crystal Reports, and then "save as" to a different folder in My Folders. Opening the report, get the message about unsupported data source migration. Then, "save as" results in request to change data source.
Thanks!
