Hi James,
Installation of jdbc driver
1. Download a supported 32 bit JDBC connector from the vendor website and install it to the default path.
2. Edit the CRConfig.xml file from the Crystal reports installation target path.
3. Edit the <Classpath> tag to add the location of the jar file before existing entries.
4. Save the file and restart Crystal Report application.
- Path to CRConfig.xml for CR2008: C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects\Common\4.0\java\
- Path to CRConfig.xml for CR2011, CR2013: C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\java\

"We need to change that to a JNDI datasource connection since the new Java agent is using JRC to connect to CR."
