Configure Crystal Reports to Use the FSDB JDBC Driver
If you have Crystal Reports 11, you can configure it to use the FSDB JDBC driver.
The FSDB JDBC driver does not currently support the SQL GROUP BY keyword.
Procedure
1 Open the CRConfig.xml file in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\java directory.
2 In the <classpath> tag of the <DataDriverCommon> element, add the full paths to the
FSDB_JDBC_DRIVER
\FSDBJDBCDriver.jar and
FSDB_JDBC_DRIVER
\lib\common.jar files.
3 Save your changes and close the CRConfig.xml file.
4 In Crystal Reports, select File > New and select a standard or blank report.
The Standard Report Creation Wizard begins.
5 In the Data dialog box, expand Create New Connection > JDBC (JNDI).
The JDBC (JNDI) dialog box opens and JDBC Connection is selected.
6 In the Connector URL text box, type the RMI URL for the vCenter Operations Manager DBMS.
For example: rmi://localhost:1199/DMBS
7 In the Database Classname text box, type the name of the FSDB JDBC driver class.
For example: com.integrien.fsdbjdbcdriver.FSDBJDBCDriver
8 Click Finish.
A new entry appears for the FSDB JDBC driver under JDBC (JNDI) in the Available Data Sources list in
the Data dialog box.
9 In the Available Data Sources list, expand Qualifiers > FSDB_CAT.
10 Select FSDB and click the right angle bracket (>) button to move it to the Selected Tables list.
11 After you finish moving items to the Selected Tables list, click Finish.
The Fields dialog box shows the columns of the FSDB table.
12 Select each field to include in the report and drag it to the Fields to Display list or click the right angle
bracket (>) button.
13 After you finish moving fields to the Fields to Display list, click Next.
You can click Next without selecting fields and add fields later.
14 If the wizard prompts you to group entries, do not make any selections and click Next.
15 Specify filtering, if necessary, and click Next.
16 Select the template to use and click Next.

If you selected fields, the fields are now visible in the report.
