Can't upload reports to crystal server

Hello guys,
First is the system info:
Crystal Server XI R2 with SP3
OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 6)
Database: Oracle DB 10g
This issue shall be divided into two parts.
Parts one:
Before the server is reinstalled we can upload some reports. But there is some limitation. When one report is changed, we can't upload it to the server directly. This report should be renamed to a different name then it can be uploaded. If we don't do so it fails with an error message says 'An unexpected error has occurred'. So every time we need to rename reports and then upload them. This workaround is OK for some reports but not all of them. No matter how we reboot the machine or restart the crystal server.
Part two:
One day the machine crashed and we reinstalled the crystal server. But this time it won't accept any report at all. Still it accepts other file such as *.Doc, *.PDF Etc. Every time we try to upload a report and we get an error message says 'An unexpected error has occurred'. If we use CMC to upload a report we get something more detail says 'There was an error while retrieving data from the server: Unknown exception occurred when calling into the plugin'.
BTW, all reports are tested in report designer. They are 100% OK. All services of the crystal server are up and running.
And one more thing, how can I attach file in this forum. I want to give dear you the log files to refer to.
Thanks a lot.

Hi
It would be easier if you would keep this all in the same topic.
As suggested in you other thread ([Can't upload reports to crystal |Can't upload reports to crystal server]), this is very likely to be a permission problem.

  • Error running reports from Crystal Server XI R2 with datasets

    Hi, sorry if my english is not good. I'm from Spain.
    I have a problem. I'm programming with Visual Basic .NET 2008.
    I'm using Crystal Reports Server and programming under Visual Basic to take reports from crystal Server, changing the tables from the report to datasets and scheduling this report.
    Crystal server change connections to CrystalReports.Dataset.
    Preview reports from server sends me an error "DataBase connector unknown"
    If I run this report (with datasets) into my VBNET application (into a  CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer control), IT WORKS!!!
    I need help because I need to schedule these reports (to send them by email, export to PDF formats, ...)

    Reporting off of a dataset is reporting off of a disconnected datasource.  The reason your application works is beacuse you most likely populating a dataset in your application and passing it to the report at the same time.  When scheduling, there is no interaction with the report so unless the report is using an xml file on disk as its datasource, how can it retrieve data?
    To get around this, you can build a dll (.net data provider) that returns either a dataset or datatable and point your report to this dll.  this way, when the report is executed, it loads the dll which fetches the data for you.
    - so the first step is to compile a dll that returns a dataset or datatable.
    - to design your report off of this dll open the database expert and create a new ADO.NET connection.
    - in the File Path area, click the ellipsis ("...") button to browse to your dll and make sure the selected File Type is ".Net DataSet Provider".
    - once the dll is selected, you can choose the dataset/table returned by the dll.
    If your method in the dll is parameterized, it will add a parameter to the report (similar to stored procedure parameters.
    note: the location of your dll must be in the same path on the CR Server as it was when you designed your report in order for it to be loaded correctly.  I usually put the dll in a folder that I know will exist on both machines.

  • How can I get a Listing of all scheduled reports from Crystal Server 9?

    Hello,
    Can anyone help?
    A colleague and I are trying to find out when we can schedule a server reboot (Crystal Reports 9). We can look at individual jobs but we don't seem to be able to find a list of all the jobs and when they occur.
    We need to do this as we would like to schedule a regular server reboot without interrupting jobs.
    As you may be able to tell, my colleague and I have little Crystal knowledge, but we have found our selves looking after this server.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Paul,
    Thanks for your response.
    Do you remember what kind of installation process you have followed while installing your crystal enterprise.
    It will prompt for client installation and server installation.
    If you have installed client products then you wont have instance manager in your list of products.
    Else  if you don't have instance manager in crystal server 9, then for buying the product you should contact your accounts manager.
    He can reach the CIC people through your company and based on your license agreements you can the product.
    Just let me know if you have any queries.
    Regards,
    Naveen.

  • Error adding report to Crystal Server 2011

    I have a report that runs against Salesforce.com that I'm trying to add to Crystal Server 2011.  The server is running version 14.0.2.364 of BI.  When I try to add the report through either the CMC or through the BI Launch Pad I get the same error.
    "An error has occurred: Adding Crystal Report "Quarterly Report 2011 with MF v3-2 Les Testing.rpt" failed. The server with kind rptappserver returned an error result. Failed to copy the report file to the report object. Refreshing the report object properties might have failed. Failed to read data from report file C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\Data\CrystalReportsRasServer\temp\{7FD511B8-F5DF-42AC-98D7-D2C43B1C458B}.rpt. Reason: Failed to read parameter object "
    If I try to add it by saving from Crystal Reports I get "Item 1 was not found in the collection"
    I'm logging on as administrator in both cases to the CR server.  I did find a thread where it was suggested that checking the "No Printer" box under page setup may fix it so I tried that but got the same results.  I also saw some references to firewalls, but the server is on a local subnet to my machine and all windows firewalls are turned off.
    The server is a fresh install of 2008 R2 and a demo download of CR Server 2011 and Client Tools. 
    Any help on a direction here would be greatly appreciated.  I've been banging my head against this for a while now.

    I cannot offer much help, but I see the same issue. 
    When I create a report in Developer it runs fine in Developer, but it will not load up to Crystal Server.  I can save the report with a new name and 50% of the time it will load to the Server.  Sometimes when I try to load the report, it seems the Server is thinking for a long time.  I hit "OK" button on server screen and then "Cancel"  the report SOMETIMES shows in the list of reports.  I just witnessed saving a non-loading report as another report and successfully loaded it into Server, then I ran the report in developer, closed it and tried to reload it to the server and it failed.
    It appears to be completely random.
    My gut tells me it has to do with the Salesforce driver (i.e. when I run it from Developer, the driver pollutes the report and chokes loading it on the server?)
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Hi,
    We are using just crystalreportsxir2 installed on the desktop, no business objects and we r not using any server
    My question is how to schedule reports with out server and I donu2019t want to use windows scheduler. Is there any way to schedule reports like this?
    If it is not possible scheduling reports in above mentioned way
    We want to buy a crystal xir2 server, in such case is it possible to schedule reports with the server we donu2019t have any portal and we dou2019t want to use any third party tools
    Pls help me in resolving this issue
    Thanks,
    Sri

    Hi Sreedhar,
    Did you find any option Scheduling for the report with in crystal designer.
    We need  Crystal Enterprise or Server to schedule the reports at regular intervals.
    We can schedule the report for our  required destination, we can view the reports with default viewers with in the Enterprise.
    There is no need of using any third party tools.

  • Can't upload files to lighttp server

    Hi *

    Can somebody hint me where issue might be ?
    Thx n advance !

    @milomir,
    Thx for replay.
    While Your proposal is nice solution - this little now what I want to achieve.
    In my application curl usage is automated (curl is called by user script).
    My script has following entry:
    /usr/local/bin/curl -s -f -T "<file>" "<server>/<path>/<file>"
    Strange enough that I have setup which worked OK sometime ago.
    Since that time I do few system upgrades - and recently I discover that posting files via curl isn't working.
    Last days I was trying many combination including clean install of 64bit arch in VM and try to play with default settings.
    No matter what I'm doing - all the time I'm getting 404.
    I still think I miss something in configuration as i don't believe vanilla Arch/Lighttpd/Curl can't be used as http upload service with standard curt usage (like way it is used in my script).
    So maybe my original Q should be following: why I can't upload files with standard curl/wget usage ?

  • Can't upload pdf into cloud server

    I'm unable to upload a 12mb pdf into the cloud server. I've tried drag and drop and the upload button. I've signed out and signed back in but still nothing. The file opens fine on my computer so it doesn't seem corrupt. I'm on a Mac and I'm using Chrome. Has anybody else experienced this before?

    Are you able to upload other files? Which OS and browser are you using?
    You can examine the network traffic in your browser. Each browser differs a bit, but here is an example with Chrome. From the Chrome menu choose View > Developer > Developer Tools. A window will open in the bottom half of the browser. Select the Network tab and then try the file upload action. You will see a bunch of items but should get a POST call with a 201 return code. Here is a screen shot:
    If there is an error you will see a different return code. Possibly you might see no return codes at all.
    So please reply with your OS and browser, and a screen shot of what you are seeing. Let me know if you can upload a different file than the PDF. Also I am happy to post instructions for doing this with a different browser if needed.

  • Crystal Server Permissions to pull reports

    I have a problem when I try to pull a report (no matter who created it) if I use the Administrator I can pull a report, but if I use other user I cannot pull. When I use Administrator to pull a report and after this other user (no Administrator) tries to pull the same report he can, but if he tries again he cannot.
    The error when other users try to pull reports not using Administrator is: "Server not found or server may be down".
    I gave "full control" to all the users, but the same error. Only the Administrator can pull reports (objects)
    Crystal Server is installed on Linux.
    How can I fix it?

    One has to go to Servers and Rights. Change the rights for the groups from Not Access to View and to apply.

  • Can't upload "put" files to remote server unless they are in a folder. Please help.

    I have done many searches on this and found no solutions. Here is the problem:
    When I upload a file from my local site to the remote server it works fine as long as that file is contained in a folder.
    Example:
    I can upload an image from my images folder, or a template page from my template folder with no problem.
    BUT, I can not upload any web/html pages, my CSS page, site map, or any file for that matter that is simply in the root directory but not in it's own folder.
    When I try to do that I get this error:
    index.html - error occurred - An FTP error occurred - cannot put index.html.  Access denied.  The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem.   Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured.
    File activity incomplete. 1 file(s) or folder(s) were not completed.
    Files with errors: 1
    index.html
    So every time I make a change to my index page I can't upload it to the server without getting that error unless I use a 2nd party program like Filezilla - which works fine. It is only Dreamweaver doing this.
    I have been using dreamweaver for a long time and had no problems with this site. This all started happening out of no where. and it is happening on my work and home computer.
    I made no changes to my server preferances or anythijng like that.
    I was just doing my thing - being happy - and then BAM, not happy any more....

  • Dynamic Parameter List works on desktop but not when run on Crystal Server

    Hi,
    I have a report, and the database command query takes one parameter ({?Year}. There is a second parameter used for a record select which is a dynamic paramenter list (multiple select, required). When running the report from Crystal Reports 2008 on my desktop, it first prompts for a year, and then once that is entered, it will come back with the list (of Companies) to select from. It works very smootly and as desired.
    But when I load this report to Crystal Reports 2008 Server, it will ask for the year (which is a static list), and this is good, but then it comes back with an empty dynamic select list on the next screen.
    Are there any special caveats that I need to be aware of in regards to dynamic lists when running from the CR server?
    Thanks!

    Hi Pat, 
    This should work but a couple of things to check: 
    1)  Are the two parameters linked to the same database?  If the parameters are linked to fields from different tables in different databases then you need to make sure you set the Database Configuration and have the report log on to both databases. 
    2)  Are Crystal Reports and Crystal Server the same version?  I had problems with parameters after we upgraded to 2008.  We had to install the latest service packs for both Crystal 2008 and the Enterprise Server.  Then we installed Crystal 2008 on the same machine the Enterprise Server was on.  Crystal Reports and the Enterprise Server share some common files.  Some of those files were updated for Crystal but not for the Enterprise Server yet.  Once we synched them our reports have run fine. 
    Good luck,
    Brian

  • Report Alerts are not shown on crystal server 2011

    Hi,
    I have created alerts on From date and To Date. The alert is shown when the difference between From Date and To Date is more than an year. It is shown properly in the crystal report designer. When I am uploading the same report to the server the alerts are not shown on the server.
    Can someone help me with the same.
    Thanks,
    Simran

    Hi Jawahar,
    I have uploaded the report in CMC using Add--> Local Document.
    For Alerts I have checked the Box 'Enable Alert'. Still I am not getting a Pop Up which I get in the crystal report designer. Is the Alert sent on Crystal Server by email? I have currently selected default setting in Configure Alert Notification.

  • Problem deploying OLAP report to Crystal Reports Server

    I have developed a simple OLAP cube report using Crystal Reports Developer (11.0.0.1.1282). The report correctly previews and shows values against the cube that I have chosen as the datasource. The datasource is not my local computer but another computer (on the same network) that contains an Analysis Services 2005 cube. Crystal Reports Server (11.5) is installed on the same computer that contains the datasource.
    Using the CMS I uploaded the OLAP cube report to the server. After that was finished I changed the "When viewing report" radio button to "Use same database loging as when report run" in the Process/Database setcion. I logged into the InfoViewer and navigated to the report and executed it. When the report executes I get the following error:
    Crystal Reports: Print Engine Error
    Unable to retrieve Object.
    Crystal Reports: Print Engine Error
    I wanted to make sure that the server was running correcly as it is a fresh install. So I created a standard report that connects to a SQL Server 2005 datasource and displays the contents of a table. When I uploaded this report to the Crystal Report Server it rendered correctly.
    What do I need to do to make the OLAP cube report render correctly?

    I'm not sure about using OLAP with CR on the server, maybe someone else will have more input on that.
    When using OLAP on the server I recall that you must install PTS (it was like OLAP - ODBC) but it didn't require any config just to be installed on the server.
    You mentioned CR 11.0 what version is the server? I don't believe SQL 2005 analysis services was ever tested with XIR1 (version 11). You can check the supported platforms by clicking the business obejcts link above and selecting articles, then your version.
    Do you have olap intelligence? That was a seperate product on version 11 that was used to create .car reports off of OLAP.

    Tim
