We are using Business Objects with a MySQL database underneath. The ODBC driver installed on the Business Objects server is configured as shown below:
[BIRDDBD1]
Description = BIRDDBD1
Driver = MySQL
SERVER = xx.xx.xx.xx
USER = xxxxx
PASSWORD = xxxxx
PORT = 3306
DATABASE = IAS
Option = 3
The users use InfoView to create Web Intelligence reports. As soon as at least one attribute of datatype char or varchar is contained in a report, we get the following error message:
A database error occured. The database error text is: [MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-5.1.31sp1-enterprise-gpl-advanced-log]Restricted data type attribute violation. (WIS 10901)
When a report solely contains number and date attributes, we get a proper report result and do not get any error message.
Trying to get data (also char or varchar data!) within the Business Objects Designer does not cause any problems!
Could you please advice?
