Background:
We have been successfully running a CR 11 server to automatically generate reports for several years now. It runs on a virtual XP machine, now one of the last 2 in the company, and we'd like to phase it out.
Thanks to a related project, we also have an SAP Business Objects Enterprise CR 14 server independently up and running. I've been asked to start porting our existing reports from the old server to the new.
The reports themselves pull their information from DBF (dBase) files -- this has to do with the agency management software that I'm accessing for the data. Most of the reports are emailed to the end users as PDF files, a few are emailed as XLS files. We currently do not use any other format for the report output.
Issue:
The problem I'm running into is that I can't seem to get a test report running on the new server.
I have the UNC path to the actual location of the source DBF file mapped correctly.
I'm logged into the CR 14 server as the Administrator.
I've set the database type using the ODBC driver, and we know that the Microsoft drivers for dbf are installed.
I've tried multiple users, including the actual Network Admin and several system accounts that have Network Admin rights.
I've verified that all of these users have full rights to the folder containing the files on the network.
Yet I continue to get failures, most of which give me the error message "The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect."
I must be missing something. But what?
