Changing the Server Name

About this task

Make sure that you change the Historian Server name to point directly to your Historian server, so that the report generates correctly in Crystal Reports. By default, this server name is T20.

Procedure

  1. Open the report file in Crystal Reports.
  2. Click the Database menu.
  3. If the Database menu does not appear automatically, follow these steps
    1. Wait for approximately 90 seconds for the connection timeout to occur.
      After the 90-second timeout, the Data Link Properties dialog box appears. Although it may appear as if Crystal Reports has stopped working or is frozen before the timeout occurs, this functionality is as expected.
    2. Change the Data Source field.
      You can leave this field empty to use the default Historian server or enter a specific Historian server name.
    3. Click OK.
    4. Skip step 4.
  4. If the Database menu appears automatically, follow these steps:
    1. Select Set Location from the Database menu.
      The Set Location dialog box appears.
    2. Click Set Location.
      The Data Explorer appears.
    3. Select a source and click Set.
    4. Click Done.
