Crystal Report Print Engine API calls from Powerbuilder

I am using Crystal Report XI R2 with Powerbuilder 9.0. I am using Crystal Report API calls using crpe32.dll to display my reports. When i run my reports from my development machine where Crystal Reports is installed the reports run properly, but when i deploy my application on a server where Crystal Reports is not installed the report gives me error "Report has not been opened" , Error 599.
The database logon info is properly set in the RPT file.
I want to know whether it is possible to run reports without installing Crystal Reports and how do you do it?

Somehow, you will have to install the CR runtime...
Probably the best way will be to create a deployment project using a utility such as InstallShield, Wise, MS Visual Installer, etc. Use the RDC merge modules and add the crpe32.dll to the deployment project, ensuring the crpe32.dll is installed into the ...\3.5\bin directory. The Correct msm files are here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009381702008E/crxir2sp4_rdc_mm.zip
BTW., using the print engine APIs... Not something recommended, nor supported. Last header files for the crpe APIs shipped in version 9...

Failed to read data from report file : Reason: Crystal Reports: Print Engin

Hi,
When we try to migrate the crystal reports from BO R2 to BO R3, some of the reports are faling with the error:
Failed to create a new Report.Reason: Failed to read data from report file C:\DOCUME~1\xxxxx.rpt. Reason: Crystal Reports: Print Engine Error
Would please someone help me in fixing the issue.
Thanks and Regards,

Few quick checks to identify the cause -
1. Are you able to run report in your R2 system?
2. In XI3.1, check SIA running on which account.
3. Check the acount have sufficient rights on file system and registry.
4. What's your web server?
Give proper rights and import again. Hopefully it will resolve.

Crystal Reports: Print Engine Error when exporting a report

We recently upgraded from Crystal Reports 2008 to BusinessObjects Edge Series X3.1. When exporting a report to an excel data-only format we get "Crystal Reports: Print Engine Error". All other formats work fine. Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Crystal Reports 2008 fails when called from e Web Service under 64bit OS

I have discovered that Crystal Reports 2008 doesn't work when called from a Web Service running under 64bit Windows platforms (in my case Windows 2003 Server and Windows XP 64bit); practically no object is instantiated. I've tried several solutions without success.
Before creating a wrapper component to use under COM+, is there anybody who has a better and cheaper solution than creating another component to wrap CR 2008 ?

Hi Sergio,
Before I mark this post as assumed answered I would just like to say and re-iterate that at this time there is no one answer and we fully understand your concerns. As you know in CR 6.0 it came in 16 and 32 bit versions because at the time 32 bit was relatively new but 16 bit was the norm. This is also true for 32 to 64 bit, 32 is the norm and 64 bit is relatively new. We know and are well aware 64 bit is the future and we are working as quickly as we can to move in that direction. Because of the complexity of the Product it's not simply a matter of re-compiling all of our dll's in 64 bit format. The core of our data connectivity with our database drivers which are dependant on third party clients must also need to support 64 bit modes. This as well as Printer drivers also need to be 64 compatable, there are a multitude of dependencies that we rely on that must add 64 bit support. As a programmer you are well aware of the issues around Thunking back and forth between 32 to 64 bits, it can cause delays and potentially loss of data which is a whole other issue. Not to mention also that we would have to ship both versions potentially doubling the size of the distribution packages or doubling the size of the dll's to have the ability to work in both modes. Relatively speaking of course, it would not be double the size but the variables would need to be able to allocate 32 or 64 memory blocks.
The other option is to produce 2 separate versions, this alone is a massive project. Any issue would need to be fixed in separate code streams.
So I'm sure you can see it's not simply a matter of saying yes we support 64 bit. It's a massive project that is going to take time to do and we have to wait for the third party drivers to commit also.
Visual Studio .NET 2005 and 2008 is the only option if you want true 64 bit but you will be limited on what DB's you can support and export formats you can export to. They are the only drivers we did convert to 64 bit.
Thank you for your understanding

Crystal report : Export to Text format from BI Launch pad

Hi,
We are facing issue in exporting the Crystal report to text format option from BI Launch pad view mode. Currently BI launch pad doesn’t support export to Text format option for crystal report in view mode. But export to text format option is feasible in schedule mode. But customer is not interested in exporting the reports through schedule mode.
Please advise, if we have any alternative way of exporting the crystal report to text format option from BI Launch pad.
Thanks,
Chinnu A

Hi Chinnu,
The question is better suited to be asked in the BI Platform space.

Crystal Report Print Control install error

Hi,
I'm trying to manually install the crystal report print control active x file. After righ-clicking to install the printcontrol.inf file, i got the following error message; "The INF you selected does not support this method of installation" Any idea why I could not install?
I am running Windows Vista and have local admin rights.
Thanks in advance.

Umm, when I enter the following search terms in the search box at the top right corner of this web page:
print control activex crystal net
I get the following KB:
[1645006 - How to install the Crystal Reports ActiveX Print Control manually?|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333633343335333033303336%7D.do].
See if that helps. Note that since you do not mention version of CR, the KB may not be specific to your version of CR, but it should point you in the right direction, no matter what the version.

App won't install with the prerequisite SAP Crystal Reports Runtime Engine

On installing with the following prerequisite checked:
SAP Crystal Reports Runtime Engine for .NET Framework 4.0
.. received this error:
Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\CRRuntime_32bit_13_0.msi
has changed since it was initially published.
Should I NOT use the prerequisite, and instead, use a merge module?

I ran a program with the exact same name, 2 weeks ago, on my VS 2010 Dev machine:
CRforVS_13_0.exe. (284 Meg)
Today, I followed your link, and downloaded the file with the same name, but different size: (1.5 Meg). I mean, a really major difference in size!
Because creating and testing installation packages is very time consuming, I want to verify what you have stated so that I completely understand before I change what currently works, which is for the client machine to separately install the CR runtime, to what you're proposing in including a prerequisite to my install package.
-> I should run this latest exe. It will add a prerequisite to the prerequisite list in Visual Studio 2010. The installation of this prerequisite will work, as the earlier one did not. And it will work for both 32- and 64-bit client machines.
Therefore, I can eliminate the need for the client machine to install the CR run time separately.
Please confirm, and then I will make the necessary changes, and do the install tests on client machines.
(Also, FYI the merge module did not work for me on a 32-bit client machine. So I removed it.)
Thanks, Peg

How to print a report on crystal report server using webservice call

Hi,
I'm looking for web service api calls that help print a report on the crystal report server. Can someone post a snippet of how this is done.
Thanks,

Below is a snippet that uses the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 2 version of the BIPlatform Web Services Java Consumer API:
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda
/* Printer name */
String printerName = "\\\\van-s-prt01\\VAN-P-BEAVERCREEK";
/* URL to Enterprise Web Services */
String servicesURL = "http://localhost:8080/dswsbobje/services";
Session ceSession = null;
Connection ceConnection = new Connection(new URL(servicesURL + "/session"));
EnterpriseCredential ceCredential = new EnterpriseCredential();
ceCredential.setDomain(cmsname);
ceCredential.setAuthType(authType);
ceCredential.setLogin(username);
ceCredential.setPassword(password);
try {
     ceSession = new Session(ceConnection);
     ceSession.login(ceCredential);
     ceConnection.setURL(new URL(servicesURL + "/biplatform"));
     BIPlatform bip = new BIPlatform(ceConnection, ceSession.getConnectionState());
     GetOptions getOpts =new GetOptions();
     getOpts.setIncludeSecurity(Boolean.FALSE);
     ResponseHolder rh = bip.get(reportPath, getOpts);
     InfoObjects infoObjects = rh.getInfoObjects();
     CrystalReport report = (CrystalReport) infoObjects.getInfoObject(0);
     ReportProcessingInfo processing = report.getPluginProcessingInterface();
    CrystalReportPrinterOptions printerOptions = processing.getReportPrinterOptions();
    printerOptions.setEnabled(Boolean.TRUE);
    printerOptions.setPrinterName(printerName);
     report.setSchedulingInfo(new SchedulingInfo());
     report.getSchedulingInfo().setRightNow(Boolean.TRUE);
     bip.schedule(infoObjects);
} finally {
     if(ceSession != null)
          ceSession.logout();

Printing a Crystal Report XI in Business Objects from Access (VB)

Post Author: karene
CA Forum: Other
I have a report that is stored in the BusinessObjects (and I'm new to this system). I can open it from Access using VB, by running iexplore.exe and giving it the correct URL:
stAppName = "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe " & GetReclassificationReportURL() & _ "&lsS@type=site&lsS@id=" & SiteId Call Shell(stAppName, 1)
where the GetReclassificationReportURL returns something like https://xidesign.ourdomain/businessobjects/enterprise115/InfoView/scripts/OpenDocument.aspx?iDocID=24321825
This opens Crystal, and they can view or print the report. However, when they were using the corresponding Access report, it would print for them directly. They could press a print button, and it would come out on their default printer. Can I do that using Crystal? How? (I'm using Access 2003, and VB 6.3)
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Hai,
Installation of BOXI does not not include Crystal Reports as a part of it?If yes, then does the crystalreportviewer ship along with BOXI?

Possible solution: Open Crystal Reports Print Layout from UDO form

Hi all,
I recently had to print information of a UDO which I have on a new form. I searched through the forum and found different solutions, but none that used the new "integrated" crystal reports viewer. So I came up with this workaround, which so far works great. I post it here for anybody else needing this kind of workaround, or in case somebody has a better solution, pick that up.
Here it is:
1) Create your Crystal Report file and import using the Reports and Layouts screen in SAP Business One. Give it a meaningful name and location in the menu. Have at least one parameter to take the DocNum or DocEntry, or whatever your primary key is. (Note: I know the import can be done by SDK, but as far as I can see there's no way to place it in the menu structure just yet.)
2) In your Add-On in the event ID 520 (print), call the following function with the Document Number grabbed from the open form:
public static bool printUDO(string strDocNum)
            // get menu UID of report
            Recordset oRS = (Recordset)B1Connections.diCompany.GetBusinessObject(BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset);
            oRS.DoQuery("SELECT MenuUID FROM OCMN WHERE Name = 'ReportName' AND Type = 'C'");
            if (oRS.RecordCount == 0)
                B1Connections.theAppl.MessageBox("Report layout 'ReportName' not found.", 0, "OK", null, null);
                return false;
            // execute menu and enter document number
            B1Connections.theAppl.ActivateMenuItem(oRS.Fields.Item(0).Value.ToString());
            Form form = B1Connections.theAppl.Forms.ActiveForm;
            ((EditText)form.Items.Item("1000003").Specific).String = strDocNum;
            form.Items.Item("1").Click(BoCellClickType.ct_Regular); // abrir reporte
            return true;
I know it's kind of a dirty solution, but it works, and if you have any suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them.
Thanks!
Joerg.

Hi Joerg,
It's not a dirty solution... I like it and i'm using it
Thanks!

Ana Silva
