Crystal Report Server 2008 Embedded RAS Error

We have installed crystal server 2008 embedded on a Microsoft 2008 server 64 bit box, with no error being reported during the install. No updates or patches have been applied and we selected the default
installation. We then have been attemping to run a sample report that we downloaded off of SAP's support site to confirm that the installation was a success. We have not be able to accomplish this.
Going through the Sizing and Configuration Guide for OEM Partners on page three it talks about a registry key that points to the default location that all the reports need to be housed at in order for the
report to be run. When we preformed a search on this key no results were displayed. We need to know what steps we need to take in order to get a report to display correcvtly on the RAS.

I dont know why that registry key doest not exist.  That paper also says that you can put a switch on the command line start for the RAS server:
-reportdirectory <filepath>
[ Optional ] The report directory root this RAS instance will use for opening reports. Users will only be able to open reports are contained in <filepath>, or a subdirectory of <filepath>. If unspecified, RAS will default to the value stored in the registry. For Crystal Reports Server Embedded 2008, the registry key is HKLM\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Report Application Server\Instances\<Instance Name>\Server\LocalConnectionMgr\ReportDirectoryPath
Try setting the -reportdirectory on your ras start line.

  • How to get past Crystal Reports Server 2008 Linux install error

    Hi,
         During the install of Crystal Reports Server 2008 on Red Hat Linux we select use an existing DB (Oracle) and it prompts for:
    Crystal Reports Server 2008 Setup
    Enter the information for your new CMS
    Oracle TNSNAME :
    [SANDBOX                     ] *
    User ID :
    [crystal_rpt                 ] *
    Password :
    which then gives me:
    Crystal Reports Server 2008 Setup
    ERROR
    Failure to validate the database credential has a potential to crash the database at a later stage. Enter the correct information.
    It doesn't let me get past this and just send me back to the previous screen.  I've check and re-checked and the information TNSNAME, User ID, and Password are all correct.  Now I can exit out the install and sqlplus to the database just fine with all that same information.
    What does this error mean?  And how do I get past it?
    Thanks,

    Hi Jet,
    I've go the same problem. Have you solved this problem?

  • Crystal Reports Server 2008 - CMC Login Error - Bad Port Number in CMS Name

    This post is similar to previous post: Error: Bad port number in CMS name fe80:0:0:0:152f:77a:382d:6d8e:6400 null - which remains unanswered.
    In this case, I have installed a full licensed version of CRS 2008 on Windows Server 2008. I'm using Tomcat 5.5 and IIS 7.0.
    The error we get when trying to log into the server using SERVERNAME:6400 (the default), is:
    u2022Error: Bad port number in CMS name fe80:0:0:0:6509:bde9:93bf:f9de:6400 null
    We neglected to install IIS prior to installing CRS, so when we realized our error, we installed IIS and then uninstalled/reinstalled CRS 2008.
    Prior to reinstalling CRS, the CMC allowed us to login with no problem, which leads me to suspect that CRS may not have uninstalled cleanly.
    Can anyone help me to understand what causes this error, and what steps can be taken to resolve it?

    Hi,
    Try to check the port number 6400 is assigned properly to CMS. Please make sure that its not assigned to any other Products.
    Thanks,

  • Crystal Reports Server 2008 - RAS API ReportAppSession.initialize() fail

    Hi,
    We have a servlet (running on Websphere 6.1 container) trying to connect to Crystal Reports Server 2008 using RAS Java API to open unmanaged reports.
    It fails at the very beginning of ReportAppSession.initialize() with error message:
    com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKServerException: Unable to connect to the server: HQ-ROSIE03. - Connection refused: connect-- Error code:-2147217387 Error code name:connectServer
    HQ-ROSIE03 is the server name hosting CRS 2008. I try to pass in either HQ-ROSIE03 or HQ-ROSIE03:1566 to setReportAppServer(), but no help.
    On CRS2008, I checked from Central Management Console that all servers are up and running. I also add "-ipport 1566" to the commandline of ReportApplicationServer from CMC. It does not help either.
    Would you please tell me what might cause the problem based on the error code and message? Thank you.
    Here is the code.
            try
              ReportAppSession reportAppSession = new ReportAppSession();
              reportAppSession.createService(
              "com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.ReportClientDocument");
              //HQ-ROSIE03 is the server name that hosts Crystal Reports Server 2008.
              //I tried to pass in the port number, i.e "HQ-ROSIE03:1566". But it got the same exception.
              reportAppSession.setReportAppServer("HQ-ROSIE03");
              // This is where the exception is thrown.
              reportAppSession.initialize();
              ReportClientDocument lo_ReportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
              lo_ReportClientDoc.setReportAppServer(reportAppSession.getReportAppServer());
              lo_ReportClientDoc.open(asReportName,OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
              ReportServerControl control = new ReportServerControl();
              control.setReportSource(lo_ReportClientDoc.getReportSource());
            catch(Exception exc)
                System.out.println( exc);

    There is a typo when adding -ipport 1566 to the RAS server command from CMC.
    It is now resolved.

  • Error when running a report in Crystal Reports Server 2008

    Received the following error message:
    Error in File Relatorio4: Failed to load database information.
    Or
    Error
    Failed to open the connection. Relatorio4 Details: [Database Vendor Code:
    12154 ]
    I'm trying to run a report Crystal Reports 2008 in Crystal Reports Server 2008.
    I use the native driver for Oracle (Oracle Server).
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Hi Vilari,
    Do a small test to test your connection.
    -Right Click on desktop ->
    Create new text document->
    Save as test.UDL->
    double click and test connection by selecting driver name,datasource name,user id and password.
    Click on Test Connection.
    It should be succeed.
    Database Vendor Code is the error returned by the database client/server.Its not a Crystal Report Error.Check Microsoft's web site for more info on what that error means.
    Likely the client has not been in stalled or configured or both.
    Also check that proper DSN is configured or not.
    As you are using Oracle make sure that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists and is in the proper place and accessible. See the operating system specific manual for details on the required name and location.
    Check to see that the service name exists in one of the TNSNAMES.ORA files and add it if necessary.
    Make sure there are no syntax errors anywhere in the file. Particularly look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters. Any error in a TNSNAMES.ORA file makes it unusable.
    Hope this helps

  • Crystal Reports Server 2008 Installation Error

    Good day,
    My name is Dominic Hung and I work at Business Objects.  One of my clients is coming across an installation error on their evaluation of CRS 2008 and is detailed as follows:
    They currently have the actual report writer (Crystal Reports 2008) on a desktop PC.  It's not installed on the server.
    We have the MySQL ODBC loaded on the local desktop as well as the server that is hosting CR2008 Server.
    The credentials (userid/password) used in both the desktop and server's ODBC configuration is READ ONLY.
    During the installation wizard for CR2008 Server, I key in the userid & password that I use when we create reports, but I receive an error stating that
    CMS database error: STU000226
    BusinessObjects Enterprise CMS: Unable to connect to the CMS system database "esc:10.127.214.22:3306".  Reason: Database access error. Reason access denied for user 'jdcherry'@'% to database 'esc'
    This is where everything stops and they can't go further. They are not sure why they are receiving the "access denied" error as shown above.  They have no problem connecting to the MySQL database when they create a report using CR2008, the CR2008 SERVER won't accept my credentials during the installation.
    QUESTIONS: 
    The "jdcherry" UserID (which I use) is READ ONLY on the MySQL database that's hosted on the Linux box.  Does the userID have to have higher priviledges than just READ ONLY in order to validate the database credentials? 
    If so, what level of access is required?
    Does the installation of CR Server update any of the tables that are stored on the MySQL database?
    Do we need to install the Crystal Reports 2008 on the server in order for Crystal Reports 2008 SERVER to work?
    What other workarounds can be done for the client?  The windows server they have Crystal Reports Server 2008 installed on has web services enabled but are continuing to come across issues.  Any insight for the client would be greatly appreciated.

    Does the userID have to have higher priviledges than just READ ONLY in order to validate the database credentials?
    The userID used when installing CRS must have dba previleges (create/drop tables) on the schema.
    Does the installation of CR Server update any of the tables that are stored on the MySQL database?
    You should create a new schema/DSN for the CMS db. The installation of CRS creates 8 new tables.
    Do we need to install the Crystal Reports 2008 on the server in order for Crystal Reports 2008 SERVER to work?
    No
    All this information is in the BOE XI3.0 Installation Guide.

    Hi,
    first you must uninstall the 64 bit version.
    But you can install the 32bit version on a 64bit OS.
    When you install the 32bit version please make sure to not install into the "Program Files (x86)" Folder - somethimes i had problems with the "(" ")".

  • Crystal Reports Server 2008 dispose not closing document

    Hey everyone,
    I;m running some reports through Crystal reports 2008 server (no service packs) using the RAS sdk and Java.
    This was working swimmingly for a while until yesterday when the server hosting the RAS and app server fell over. I tracked it down to a problem with the RAS server. The error i got in my logs was General Exception, Report SDK Exception Not enough memory for operation.  I reran the process and when i watched task manager the memory being allocated to crystalras.exe went through the roof! it went from 50k to 1.8g of ram in under 10 minutes.
    I tried lots of the other suggestions in here for the errors about memory that are similar to mine (increasing the heap memory etc.) and none of them worked.
    One thing i noticed though is that when I run the process and watch the metrics page of the RAS server on the management console the number of Open documents does not decrease even though i am 100% totally and utterly calling .close and .dsipose after every report i open. Definitely. Ive debugged it a million times and it is calling these methods. It is successfully releasing the connections fine but does not seem to releasing the open documents. After the Open documents metric went down to 0 (im presuming after a timeout) the memory that crystalras.exe was reduced. I then  changed the timeout tag in CRConfig.xml to 1 minute to see would this help out any but the open documents did not timeout any faster.
    Would i be right in thinking that these open documents would be causing my problem of the aggregated memory? Im at my wits end here so any piece of help is greatly appreciated!

    Hi Ted,
    Thank you for getting back to me, i was on vacation there for a while so that is why i didnt get back to you.
    When I call reportClientDocument.isOpen() just before i dispose of the report it is true and after i dispose of it it correclty returns false.
    I am really stressing out over this as we are reduced to running 500 reports through the server (one after another) and then stopping the process and restarting the RAS server and then running another 500 reports.
    crystalras.exe gets up to about 2g of ram consumed for only 500 reports.
    I even changed some of the timeout settings on the settings page of the management console to see would they timeout and release the memory but alas it didnt release as much as a byte. I left it for 3 days and it didnt deallocate one piece of memory.
    Im currently investigating is there some way from my code that I can restart the RAS server, either through the SDK or through a windows process or scheduled task.
    Ted, as far as i can see there are no service packs for Crystal Reports Server 2008, is that right? when i go to the downloads page there only ones listed for release X1.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Please help with my crystal reports server 2008 trial setup

    Firstly, if this is in the wrong section feel free to move it. I find this forum is to big to find the information i need, in fact trying to find anything i need on this website is almost impossible. So far not impressed with SAP at all! we download a trial and when we have problems nobody can support us and we have to post in the forums for answers, which i find disgracefull to be honest. So this post is my last attempt of finding the answers to my problems or we are going to forget crystal reports server for good! I was also told that if i wanted help setting this up then i would have to pay, thats not how things usually go when we download a trial of any software!
    Anyway, rant over!!
    Right, we have windows server 2008 and have installed crystal reports server 2008. So far all i have managed to get working is the reports themselves which run and schedule fine. The dashboard and business views are so confusing i just dont get it at all, the manuals dont help either becuase they are rubbish basically. But my first problem is trying to get windows AD authentication working! easier said than done. I have spent 4 days trying to get it working but nothing is happening. this is what i have done so far
    Set up all the options in the CMC to enable AD authentication, mapped a few groups one of which i am a member of.
    Then i setup the krb5.ini file like below (removed my server name and domain name)
    [libdefaults]
        default_realm = DOMAIN.CO.UK
        dns_lookup_kdc = true
        dns_lookup_realm = true
        udp_preference_limit = 1
    [realms]
    DOMAIN.CO.UK = {
        kdc = DC.CO.UK
        default_domain = DOMAIN.CO.UK
    i also have that other file bscLogin which looks like this...
    com.businessobjects.security.jgss.initiate {
    com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required;
    The server inteligence agent has been set to use the same username as i specified in the CMC which is also the service principal name and the administartion name
    i have set the web config file to use SecWINAD as default, i have also set it to give the option of enterprise, win ad etc in a drop down list
    i have gone round in circles for days following the instructions, and nothing is happening
    Also i dont see any usernames within the groups i have mapped , am i supposed to see any? am i supposed to add them manually?? if so, whats the point in that?
    So now everytime i try to log in i get this error message
    Account Information Not Recognized: Active Directory Authentication failed to log you on. Please contact your system administrator to make sure you are a member of a valid mapped group and try again. If you are not a member of the default domain, enter your user name as UserName@DNS_DomainName, and then try again. (FWM 00006)
    There is also another error message i get, which isnt coming up right now but it says somthing along the lines of could not authenticate at this time (FWM 00005)
    i fail to see what im doing wrong. I shoudl also point out that the username i am using for everything is our own network admin password!
    any ideas on things to check before we give up with this all together?

    Hi Roberto,
    With the changes when SAP took over BusinessObjects the support packaging also changed. It's the way it is now but we are moving to and giving as much options as we can. SAP works on the Self Serve practice. the info is available but you have to find it, which is another thing we are working on to improve for BOE/CRS.
    Best place to start is in the CMS link off the start menu, You'll find the Admin Guide and Setup/Configuration Guides. You can also find all of the latest info and updates to those guides from help.sap.com then click on the SAP BusinessObjects tab along the top and then on the left click on All Products and then filter on your version.
    Once the Firewalls and Domains and your CRS Server is added to the Trusted Domains and ports opened to allow CRS to talk to the DNS Server CRS will begin to load all of the users into it's User Mappings. You still have to add each user or Group of Users but they will be available. Documents does describe how to....
    Once you have the Admin Guide search on Security and it explains in details how to set up and which ports need to be opened etc.
    Thank you

  • Crystal Reports Server 2008 trial install - unable to log into CMC

    Hi,
    I have been looking for a way to host my existing Crystal XI reports on our in house web application rather than using a thick client application with cview. I was told that the options were Crystal Reports Server 2008 or Visual Studio 2008. I have downloaded trials of both and am currently testing.
    After installing Crystal Reports Server 2008, including MySQL DB and Tomcat web server, i am unable to log into any of the applications with the error that:
    Error: Server SCOTTPC:6400 not found or server may be down (FWM 01003) null
    After seeing this i checked the services on my test machine and found that the Server Intelligence Agent was not started. So i tried starting it and recieved the generic windows message:
    Service on local computer started and them stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do ... etc
    After multiple reboots and reinstalls i am still unable to use any aspect of the application as i am unable to log into the CMC as the server is down. Now i am new to Crystal reports and web servers so have a very limited knowledge of whats going on here - i am primarily a DBA. From what i can tell MySQL does not even appear to be installed but i cannot be sure.
    Any suggestions?

    ok... after research it seems a DSN has not been created.
    Also when trying to start the server intelligence service i see the following in the application event viewer:
    [Node Name: SCOTTPC]
    [User Name: SYSTEM]
    Server Intelligence Agent has failed to initialize because the bootstrap file C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\_boe_SCOTTPC.bootstrap is missing information about the CMS cluster. Please restore your bootstrap file from your backup.
    i have recreated the bootstrap file but still get the same error.
    i have SQL Server 2005 installed on this rig as well - could this be causing the issue? Would it be better for me to integrate this to SQL Server rather than using the MySQL DB that comes with Crystal server 2008?

  • Crystal Report Server 2008 - Out of Memory in Event Server

    Hi All,
            We run a Crystal report Server 2008 on a Windows 2003 Server Std Edition, with 4 GB of Memory and enough Harddisk space(C: More than 25 GB and D: around 155 GB).  The Server is running with MS SQL Server 2005 and CRS 2008 on MySQL and Tomcat.  Other than this there is a transactional application running using MS SQL Server 2005 which creates a new database everyday. 
           We have Scheduled reports which were working fine for an year, since last month we were getting the "Out of Memory in the event Server" error and the CRS stops to schedule reports, only after restarting the server and SIA it allows us to schedule the jobs in time.  But this happens every once in 2 days.  Am not sure what is causing this problem.  Currently there are no backup jobs running and no OS Scheduled jobs are running and also no error messages in the Application log other than the "Out of Memory in the Event Server".
           Could anyone help to sort out what may cause this?
    Thanks
