Migrating From Seagate Info 7.5 to Crystal Enterprise 8.5 Format

[pulkitsharma]

Hi,
I am trying to migrate Seagate Info 7.5 reports to Crystal Enterprise 8.5 Format. I am facing some problems which are descibed below:
1. If I import the reports using import wizard of CE 8.5 and then publish these reports using publishing wizard then I am not able to schedule the reports from ePortFolio. Scheduling the reports fail and "Information is needed before this report can be processed." message is returned.
2. If I open and save the reports in Crystal Reports 8.5 and then publish the reports in CE 8.5 then I am able to schedule some reports but not all. I get the same message as above for the failed reports. I am able to "Verify database" and execute the report from within CR 8.5.

The environment, I am using is as follows:
Crystal Enterprise 8.5 and Crystal Reports 8.5 are installed on different Windows NT machines. Database is Oracle 8i on a HP-UX machine and the access mechanism is native. I use Enterprise authentication to log on ePortFolio and schedule the report.
Please Help? Am I missing some info which may be needed to solve the problem? Do I need to install some patch on Crystal Enterprise?
Thanks,
Pulkit

I'd apply the patches and try that.

If that fails, there's a similar issue when using SQL Server natively, CD suggests changing the connectivity to OLE DB or ODBC.

Have applied the monthly hot fixes but still no luck. Is there no way to go native?
thanks,
