I am unable to run a r9 Mart Report using 2011 Crystal Reports.
• If running r9 ERwin from a machine that is not the mart server machine, the following error or similar occurs:
Logon failed. Error in File Report Name {CFEA468A-CC68-4D47-8A0C-39524B68116E}.rpt: Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters.
• If running r9 ERwin at the mart server machine, after the connect to mart window, the following error or similar occurs:
Failed to load database information. Error in File Report Name {EADDCEF7-9C5A-40CB-B997-6B4A8C297A48}.rpt: Failed to load database information.

There are two remedies for this situation:
