    Posted: 02 Aug 2011 at 10:03am
I have a crystal report constructed in V8 that uses SQL Stored Procedure.
 
I need to convert this report to Crystal XI and change datasource.
 
When I choose my new datasource - I see my sql stored procedure and I click update......I get prompted for parameters which I complete and then click update.........I then get an error message - very generic - unable to connect type message.......
 
Any guidance would be appreciated.......... 
Thanks to all who contribute to this forum!!!

There have been a lot of changes in Crystal since V8, so I suspect that your stored procedure might need to be updated too.
 
Check the stored procedure.  There needs to be one parameter that returns a cursor with your result set.  In the stored procedures I've worked with, this has always been the first parameter in the list.  I don't remember if SQL Server has this, but in Oracle it has to be an "IN OUT" parameter, not just "OUT".

we used SQL Stored Procedure for our reporting using CR XI.
and most of them using params and it work fine.

have you tried to verify the report?
make sure the params in SP also appeared in CR params (including the sequence).


hope it help.
