Hi Shiva

When you publish a universe from the Information Design Tool to the server, you must ensure that you are using the 64 bit version of your ODBC source since you are using Webi (Crystal Reports 2013 is still 32 bit on the server). 

Simply go to c:\windows\syswow64\odbcad32.exe (assuming you're running Windows) and create your System DSN with the same name as your 32 bit source used in IDT.

I hope this helps you.
