Crystal Report 9 compatibility

Hello,
I am looking for the informaton if  Crystal Report ver. 9  is compatible with Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (x64 bit) and also office 2007 or office 2010 ? or just Excel 2007 or 2010?
Could you please let me know?
Thanks in advanced.

For supported Operating Systems see [this|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/b4JiAw] wiki.
I'd be highly dubious that this will work, especially given the issues of getting CR XI R2 (11.5) to work on Win 2008 - documented in [this|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/18420] blog.

  • Crystal Report XI compatibility with VS 2008

    Hi,
    I have read varying anwers on this. Is Crytal report XI 3.0 is compatible with VS 2008 or crystal report 2008 will be required in case we use VS 2008 for web application.
    Thanks
    Kajal

    Is it correct the version of crystal report (XI Release 2) that comes bundled with Business Object XI Release 2 is not compatible with VS 2008? If yes, then with which version of visual studio is it compatible.
    Yes, that is correct.  XI R2 is compatible with VS.NET 2002/2003/2005
    There is a latest release of Business Object under version number XI 3.0 (if I am not wrong). Which version of crystal report will come bundled with it? Will that be crystal report 2008? If yes, then in addition to this we will need Service pack 0 for it to be compatible with VS 2008.
    Yes, Crystal Reports 2008 is the comparable Crystal Reports release to XI 3.0.  Yes, you will need Service Pack 0 to allow Crystal Reports 2008 to be compatable with VS.NET 2008
    NOTE: There currently is no Enterprise .NET SDK for XI 3.0.  It should be out with Service Pack 1 of XI 3.0

  • Crystal Report 2011 compatibility with dot net 1.1

    Hi,
    WE have a .dot net application in framework 1.1 where we were using crystal reort 9. we are now upgrading to crystal reports 2011 .
    1) is crystal reports 2011 runtimes compatable with dot net 1.1
    2) Where can i find the runtimes for crystal reports 2011. for this i was ealier given a Visual studio 2010 crystal reports runtime. ths file was called CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_1.msi. but when i install this it has a readme file which says the following.
    If you have installed Crystal Reports 2011 or any of the SAP BusinessObjects XI 4.0 products,
    you may notice that their installation contains the same "Crystal Reports 2011" and "SAP
    BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0" folders as you see in this folder.  Please note that the
    folder/files names may be the same but most files have a different version, and are not
    compatible with the Crystal Reports 2011 or SAP BusinessObjects XI 4.0 products.
    the way i am reading this seems that the runtime i have is not the one i want for Crystal reports 2011
    Thanks

    A bit of a historical review;
    VS2010 came out
    We created a version of CR that integrates with VS2010. This is Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 (v 13.x), also refered to as CRVS2010
    At a later time CR 2011 was released. This version has no SDK.
    However, any report created in CR 2011 can be run with CRVS2010, as well as the CR 2008 (v. 12.x) runtime.
    As CRVS2010 is for VS2010 only, and VS2010 does not support framework 1.1, CRVS2010 does not support framework 1.1
    If you want to use report create in CR 2011 with framework 1.1 based application, you will need to obtain CR 2008 which will install the correct runtime.

  • Crystal Report X1 compatibility with Visual Studio 2008

    We are migrating an application running on .NET 1.0 to .NET 3.5. Previously Crystal report X1 was working fine with .NET 1.0 however now when it has been migrated to .NET 3.5, we are able to generate crystal report but print and export functionality is not working.
    Please confirm if Crystal report X1 is compatible with Visual studio 2008/.NET 3.5? We even updated Release 2 SP4 patch but that didn't solve the problem.
    If crystal report X1 is not compatible with Visual studio 2008, which version is compatible so that we can buy the license for the same?

  • Crystal Reports 10 Compatibility with Windows Server 2008 R2

    Hello I'm a developer and I'm in the process of migrating my ASP.NET application that uses crystal reports 10 from a win2k3 server to a win2k8 R2 server.
    First of all, is CR 10 compatible with windows server 2008 R2?
    The application is up and running on the new server, the only thing that fails is the reports. I get the following error message:
    Error in file ....c:\windows\temp\{TEMP_FILE_NAME}.rtp
    Failed to create the Crystal Query Engine.
    This occurs at report.load(..)
    I did already grant NETWORK SERVICE access to Temp and ran the CR redistribute msi that came with Visual Studio 2008 - CRRedist2008_x64.msi.
    Please help

    YESSSS!!!! IT WORKS!!
    Finally, after days of installing, uninstalling, setting permissions, crawling through process monitor output.. I finally have it working.
    For anyone with the same problem, here's what worked for me:
    I had to use the 32-bit runtime
    set application pool to 32-bit
    grant the following permissions based on the different errors listed below:
    Error in File UNKNOWN.RPT
    - Give NETWORK SERVICE list permission on C: Drive, run a report, then remove NETWORK SERVICE from the list (weird, but works, and I had to do this every single time I setup Crystal Reports on a new computer so far).
    - You might also have to set correct permission on 'Temp' if u get still get this error.
    Error in file ....c:\windows\temp.rtp
    Failed to create the Crystal Query Engine
    - Grant correct permission to C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects (your path may vary)
    (For me it was giving Users Modify permission to Business Objects folder)
    Unknown Query Engine ErrorError in File C:\Windows\TEMP\.rpt:
    Unknown Query Engine Error
    - Switch application pool to 32-bit.
    - Make sure Crystal Reports Runtime is 32-bit (CRRedist2008_x86.msi)
    Thank you guys so much for all your help and sticking through this with me.

  • Crystal Report Export not working in Server 2008

    Hi
    Please Help..
    I am Using Crystal report Report 9 with VB 6 and SQL Server 2008. All my Client PC s (Windows XP SP3) are able to export the reports in any format but with my SERVER - (Windows Server 2008 (32 Bit)) it isn't possible. The Button is very much enabled
    but when I click on it, Nothing happens.. Please Help... 

    Hi,
    I would like to suggest you try to run SAP Crystal Reports under Compatibility Mode to check if it works.
    Run in compatibility mode with administrative privilege
    ================================
    1. Right-click the .exe file of the SAP Crystal Reports program and choose
    Properties.
    2. Switch to the
    Compatibility tab.
    3. Please check the
    Run this program in compatibility mode for and choose
    Windows XP (Service Pack 3).
    4. Check the
    Run this program as an administrator box under the
    Privilege Level.
    5. Click
    Apply, click OK.
    Note: If the option is unavailable when running this program as an administrator, it means that either the application is blocked from always
    running elevated, the application does not require administrative credentials to run, or you are not logged into the computer as an administrator.
    If it does not work, it is high recommended to contact your local SAP Support Engineers for further assistance. They are more familiar with their own
    product.

  • Crystal report 9 Sql Server 2008 R2 compatability

    Can we use Crystal report version 9 in Sql server 2008 R2 to generate reports in web server.
    Kindly tell us about the compatability of  these two. If there is any support issue between these two kindly mention the same.
    Edited by: Deepan1 on Jun 7, 2011 5:32 PM

    Upgrade to CR 2008 SP 4 is your only option.
    The Platforms file was on the CR CD or it may be in the Documents folder on install. I don't have it installed any more so I can't say exactly where it is. Search your PC for platforms.
    The problem is SQL 2008 uses a new Client engine and MS renamed the DLL do CR isn't aware of it. Using the MDAC version of SQL Server OLE DB Provider may work but it won't be supported if you find errors.
    If you do upgrade to CR 2008 then install the MS SQL Server 2008 Client Tools from the CD or download the MSI from Microsoft and then use the MS SQL Server Native 10 client and it should all work for you.
    Thank you

  • Compatability of Crystal Reports 2008 with BOE 11.5 - (.rpt output)

    Hi -
    I am planning an upgrade to Crystal Reports 2008 to take advantage of capabilities of Crystal Reports Viewer 2008 to modify parameters in reports (ex: posting reports to a shared drive for users to open and modify parameters).
    In order to have this functionality in Crystal Reports Viewer (2008), I must create the report in Crystal Reports 2008. My question is: If I create the report in Crystal Reports 2008 and schedule the report to run on Business Objects XI.5, will the users be able to modify parameters in the report file output?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    You need BOE XI 3.0 or later for full compatibility with Crystal Reports 2008. The parameters panel will not be displayed in any earlier version.
    Also, some Crystal 2008 syntax is not supported in versions of BOE earlier than BOE XI 3.0. Use of such functions will result in report failures when run in older versions of BOE. For example the function hasvalue() is new to Crystal 2008 (checks for empty values in fields) and caused report failure in BOE XI R2 when published.

  • Crystal Reports 2008 Excel Export Compatibility Patch - second attempt :)

    Hello, I actually have a question related to the following thread, so I posted there and was recommended to start a new thread:
    Crystal Reports 2008 Excel Export Compatibility Patch?
    Question is related to the following doc, specifically, is this patch still available for CR 2008 or not?:
    http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/cr2008V1/en/xi3_cr2008eecp_readme_en.pdf
    A response from Don suggested this wasnt available for CR 2008 although this is confusing since the doc refers to CR 2008. My response was as follows and is essentially the question I still have (more so because we have another PeopleSoft/Oracle customer whos come across this doc and wants to know how to apply the fix for CR 2008). Thanks very much in advance!
    Hi Don, I know this is an old thread, but Im also running into the same issue and am confused by your statement since the referenced PDF doc says this patch is available for CR 2008. Did you mean that the patch is no longer available or supported for CR 2008 for some reason? If so, any idea why?
    Im a developer for Oracle/PeopleSoft and our PeopleSoft suite includes OEM Crystal. We recently upgraded to CR 2008 for our latest release and we are getting the same complaint from a few customers about not being able to output the XLS in Excel 8.0 compatiibility mode like before (In Crystal 9, we used the \Export\Excel\CompatVersion=80 registry key to enable this). So if this patch is available, it would be a huge benefit for us to be able to point our customers to it. If not, please still let me know eitherway.
    Thanks very much!
    Andrew

    Hi Andrew,
    So the story is the Rubik's patch has been available from CR 9 up until CR XI R1 as a simple download. In R2 and above to get it you have to log a case, work with a Report Rep to try to design your reports so they use the new export dll. To get you by until you have time to do so, and after filling out a query for the PM to get info on how to possibly improve the updated export dll to meet your needs, he will then send you the patch on the agreement that this is the LAST time you ask for it.
    Support no longer has access to the patch so all requests must go through the Program Manager who keeps tract of who received it.
    Bottom line is you need to update the reports to use the new export model.
    That old legacy dll was bugging and impossible to maintain.
    You can [purchase a support case here|http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjamer/DisplayProductByTypePage&parentCategoryID=&categoryID=54722300].
    This is not a bug and has been this way for 10 years now, time to update your export model and Excel Macro's....
    Thank you for your understanding

  • Need Crystal Reports Excel Export Compatibility Patch

    I seached the threads and found that the person that started this thread:
    Crystal Reports.NET Export to Excel
    has the same issue/needs that I do.  We have over 1000 crystal reports all written in 8.5.  We MUST have the ability to export them accurately to Excel in the clean manner in which they were exported back in version 8.5.  Apparently (for whatever reason) you guys have gone away from the old methodology of exporting to Excel, however I read that there is a compatibility patch that can be provided that would allow me to be able to export the reports to excel the way it use to work.  What do I need to do to aquire this patch?  Thanks.
    Steve

    Thanks Don for you reply.  I noticed you said this was low priority for him, but to us it's a major priority as I said, one of our biggest clients is very upset about it and we need it fixed asap. 
    I understand what you are saying when you say that we "had 10 years to update it."  However, please understand from our vantage point.  We didn't upgrade b/c you're user license agreements were so expensive for us until you recently reworked it so as to be affordable.  So we couldn't upgrade until recently.   So now we "upgraded" to a newer version of Crystal which usually means things are enhanced and work better.  However, in this case the newer version is causing us major problems in an area that use to work great.  So we're finding it hard to blame ourselves for this.
    I guess I am ignorant as to why SAP would go to an entirely different exporting methodology when the old methodology was working so well. 
    Anyway, thanks again and anything you can do to speed up the process of getting us a patch would be greatly appreciated.

  • Crystal Reports, Classical ASP and Internet Explorer 8.0 compatibility

    Hi
    We have 8 legacy applications which are developed on classical asp having reports built on crystal reports 8.0. Our internet explorer version is 6.0. We are planning to upgrade to IE 8.0 in the next month. While testing these legacy applications for compatibility with IE 8.0, we found that the crystal reports are not visible/not functioning.
    Do you know which version of crystal reports will be compatible with IE 8.0 as well as classical asp. Our OS is windows 2003 32 bit.
    regards

    Hello,
    You didn't indicate whether you're using the RDC / COM SDK for Crystal Reports, or the COM SDK for Crystal Enterprise in your classic ASP applications.
    In either case, the COM SDKs have been retired with our current product releases. The last products to support the COM SDK are Crystal Reports XI Release 2 (v11.5) and BusinessObjects Enterprise Release 2 (v11.5). Both of these products have reached End of Life for patch support.
    The [Supported Platform document for Crystal Reports XI R2 with Service Pack 6|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/e0fbebaf-07e0-2c10-ad9a-d45810ae7109] (v11.5) says that IE8 in compatibility mode is supported, so the RDC should work in IE8 Compatibility mode.
    The [Support Platform document for BusinessObjects XI R2 with Service Pack 6|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/50e8f572-48d0-2c10-4ea6-83bf8567e28a] (v11.5) says that IE7 is supported. There is no mention of IE8, but it's possible that IE8 in compatibility mode may work with the Enterprise COM SDK.
    You may still be able to purchase these products. You'll have to check with your retailers, or with the SAP BusinessObjects Sales team - search on SAP.com.
    It is important to understand that patch support has ended for both CR XI R2 and BOE XI R2. There will be no additional fixes released for these products, and if your applications do not work with IE 8 there is no escalation path for a fix.
    Sincerely,
    Dan Kelleher

  • Crystal Reports 11 and 8.5 Compatibility

    Post Author: mcneillb
    CA Forum: Deployment
    Can an application running Crystal Reports 11 and a legacy application running Crystal Reports 8.5 co-exist on the same system?  The legacy application is a vb6 app and just uses the crystal report viewer.  If they canu2019t what needs to be fixed or otherwise changed?
    It appears if the legacy app is installed last, then the Crystal Reports 11 application is broken (its report viewer doesnu2019t work).
    ThanksBlake

    Hello Javier,
    There isn't going to be much, if any, DLL files that are compatable with both. When version 9 was made it was redesigned from the ground up to be Unicode compliant. When this was done all DLL files that worked with the old versions would not work with the new versions.

  • Crystal Reports Compatibility

    Our office uses Sage (Accpac) Pro 100 ERP 7.4, and we use Foxpro to generate reports (income statements and otherwise) from Sage. We're looking to do away with Foxpro for report customization and printing because of major technical problems, and Crystal Reports is a possible solution. On a side note, Sage can export into XML.
    Is Crystal Reports compatible with Sage or able to read XML files for customization and printing of reports?
    This is our accounting department, and we want to have both $ Budget Variance and % Budget Variance on our reports. Is that possible with Crystal Reports?
    How much is Crystal Reports, and how much would it cost to install on multiple office computers on the same network?
    I'm a bit unfamiliar with all this accounting software, so sorry if the questions seem naive or otherwise, but please reply if you have any knowledge of this. Thank you!
    Edited by: Ron Nakahara on Oct 24, 2008 1:31 AM

    Hi Ron,
    I have seen Crystal Reports XI Release 1 being integrated with SAGE software, though I do not have any document to back this up.
    Along with this, Crystal Reports also has the ability to report off of XML dat sources.

  • Crystal Reports V9 and BO XI R2 compatibility

    Hello,
    we got an BO XI R2 Business Enterprise platform including Crystal Reports XI R2.
    We bought an application bundled with Crystal Report V9.
    I would like to know if it"s possible to deal with V9 reports in Crystal Reports XI R2 or do i need to install on the same desktop a Crystal Report V9.
    If i can use only one version of Crystal reports (BOXI R2), once i modified a crystal report V9 document, can i continue to use it on a V9 platform ?
    Thanks for your answers.
    Vincent

    Hi Vincent,
    You can have more than one verison of crystal reports installed on the same machine; however, the installation must follow an order. Install the previous version first (CR9) and thenn the new one(CR XI R2).
    About the reports, if a report created with a previous version of Crystal (for instance CR 9) is opened with a new version of CR, for instance CR XI R2, the report will be automatically updated to the newest version (in this case XI R2).
    The same report should not be converted back to the previous version because it could get corrupted and or loose some features.
    My advice to avoid issues, it is to make a copy of all reports created in version 9  and store them in a separate folder so that you can still have them available if you need. 
    I hope this helps,
    Selenia
