Crystal Reports 2008 connection to Storage Scope
Does anyone have some links on how to connect to the storagescope db using Crystal? I found some primus articles but they are not very clear and seem to be for 6.0 with a note that this may have changed in 6.1. Thanks.

If you intend to run Crystal Reports on a different machine than where your StorageScope server is located, then your configuration is a little more complicated especially if you have SSL enabled to your repository.
I would suggest visiting http://education.emc.com as there are a couple of StorageScope custom reports training courses. The first is a two hour eLearning course
StorageScope Custom Reports Service Introduction - Impact
If you want a more comprehensive training, you can enroll for an in-person 4-day workshop on StorageScope reporting.

You may check Primus emc172482

I will also request you to check the document
EMC ControlCenter® 6.1StorageScope¿
API AND REPOSITORY REFERENCE GUIDE
from Powerlink look for
Section "Connecting to the Repository and API"
Ensure that the Prerequisites for the ODBC connections are met as we are once again performing an ODBC through Crystal reports to connect to RAMBDB/EMCSTSDB.

but still getting errors
in my environment the ECC 6.0 server and the crystal report 11 server are on different physical boxes in the same domain and they can resolve each other
I've check the tnsnames.ora on the ECC server and everything looks correct
on the CR server I used ODBC data source administrator to create a connection to RAMBDB under user DSN
Data source name RAMBDB
username stsview
server (ip address of ECC server)
but when I tried to connect to it under CR's log on/off server
I get a TSN: could not resolve the connected identifier specified error
what am I doing wrong or what else I'm missing for this to work?
