Crystal Reports Editions

We are using Crystal Report XI - Professional
I am looking to find if there a edition where formulas created once and could be used in different reports (globally) like reporsitory, i thought that is enterprise version but there seem to be no enterprise version.  Could anybody suggest what version or edition of crystal reports would give me this access.
Appreciate your time.
Thank you,
padie.

Padie,
The repository is a part of the Crystal Reports Server (CRS) & Business Objects Enterprise (BOE). 
Even then formulas are report specific and cannot be used globally... at least not in the way that you are talking about. You can however create Custom Functions that can be stored in the repository and used globally my multiple reports.
HTH,
Jason

  • Problem with crystal report that comes with VStudio 2008 Database edition

    Hello,
    I'm using crystal reports that comes with Visual Studio 2008 Database edition. But I'm having a problem these days. When there are more than 4 pages in the report, the summary field in the pagefooter(usually sum of data in the Details section) show 0 in the first page.It will be displaying in all other pages. I couldnt sort out the problem.I'm binding data to the report from an SQL Server 2005 table.
    Thanks in advance.I really appreciate if some one can sort out the problem quickly.

    Have not heard of the issue, but download SP1 and see if that helps:

  • Hyperlink error : on Exporting crystal report to Editable RTF format

    Hi , In my crystal report I have hyperlink which works normally. Now when I export this report to Editable RTF format; the hyperlink gives error "Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. "
    It works for other formats.
    Please help

    This issue was patched for Crystal Reports XI R1
    Hot Fix Name: commonXIwin_chf.zip
    Adapt Number-ADAPT00408450
    Description:
    When exporting a report with email hyperlink to editable RTF format,
    the links do not work.
    New Behavior:
    This is now resolved.
    Here is a link to the hotfix:
    ftp://ftp1.businessobjects.com/outgoing/CHF/commonXIwin_chf.zip
    If you are using XI R2 and are still encountering this, then please check that you have installed the latest service pack (SP3) - and if the issue still occurs, then this may need to be tracked as a bug again.  However my understanding is that this was fixed for R2

  • Cannot Edit Universe Query in Crystal Reports.

    Hi,
    We have Crystal Reports 2008 SP5 installed on a Terminal Server where our report developers can go to develop reports. We have a 4 node BOXI R2 SP4 cluster on the opposite side of a firewall, and have opened the firewall ports so that Crystal Reports can connect to this BOXI cluster and a universe on that cluster, and the developers can publish their reports.
    For some developers, and the issue is intermittent for them, if they open one of those Crystal Reports to edit the universe query, they go into Database Expert and right click and choose Edit query, nothing happens. The Query Editor window does not open. They don't get any errors, other than the Universe Query editor window refuses to open. No errors on the BOXI server side either.
    They can work for a few days and everything works fine, when suddenly this behavior starts. When they report the issue to me and I try it myself, it works fine. I've checked their access rights repeatedly and have even given a user temporary full admin rights to rule out any rights issues, but they stll get this behavior.Just as strange, the problem suddenly will disappear. Often, they will send me an message several hours or days later stating that everything is OK again and they can edit their universe queries in the same reports that refused to work earlier.
    I've also checked the BOXI cluster nodes to see if possibly one of the services had a missing -requestport setting, and was choosing a random port that the firewall could be blocking, but everything looks fine. If I login to the BOXI cluster servers and try one of the reports, I can edit the query just fine.
    Any suggestions? I'm at my wits end.
    Edited by: Perry Provst on Nov 11, 2010 9:18 PM

    I had the same issue and it was because the Universe is having Oracle as Database and I dont have any Oracle drivers installed on my machine. Once i have installed Oracle drivers i was able to view/edit the query panel.
    Hope this would help you.

  • Edit Margins in Crystal Reports 2008

    Hi
    I am very new to Crystal Reports and don't really know anything about it. I have to amend an existing project and it requires me to change the page margins. The only way I know of to change the margins are by using Page Setup. This works great and fixed the issue, but it was only on my local machine. This also changes the layout of every other Crystal Report that I run on my machine.
    I would like to know how to edit the margins of a page for a specific Crystal Report so that it will keep the changes to the margins for other users. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Cody,
    CR relies heavily on the Printer configured on the machine it's being run on.
    Are both the printers on your machine and on the Server the same?
    If yes, then you can go to File > Page Setup > Choose the default printer > Edit the Margins.
    Otherwise, just check the 'No Printer' option > Also Check 'Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Page Size' > Edit the Margins.
    This should save the page configuration within the report and should be respected anywhere you run it.

  • Do I need to install crystal reports developer edition?

    Hi,
       I tried to open a CR 8.5 reports in vs 2005 and it opened up fine. But when I try to preview the report it comes up with the error
    Failed to load Database information
    Details:The Database DLL 'crdb_fielddef.dll' could not be found.
    We have used Active Data drivers and Field definitions using ttx files in 8.5. We used the 8.5 developer edition. Will I be able to use the crystal reports for .net with vs 2005 without installing the new version of crystal reports or Do I need to install the developer edition to overcome this? I used the 10.2 version with the VS2005.
    Thanks,
    SS

    VS 2005 does not ship with crdb_fielddef.dll, which is the lib used with ttx reports.  You won't be able to preview off of a ttx file, or create a new Crystal Report off of a ttx file, using CR.NET shipped with VS 2005.
    If you require those functionalities, CR XI Release 2 would be an possible option.
    Sincerely,

  • Using Crystal Reports 2008 standalone to edit CR basic reports?

    Can I use a stand-alone Crystal Reports 2008 to edit reports created with Crystal reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008?
    On this project I am working with other developers who don't want to install the full CR 2008 and I really need to to use full CR 2008 to be able to edit a few things in reports I can't do with CR basic in Visual Studio (like changing colors for bars in charts which you can't edit in VS).
    I also don't want to use the CR 2008 runtime for running the application, just the runtime which comes with VS 2008.
    Is it safe to edit a report in CR 2008 and then use it within Visual Studio (assuming I don't add any CR 2008 specific functions)?
    I made a test and installed CR 2008 but without installing the .NET options (however only 1.1 and 2.0 was listed I guess I need to install SP0 to get VS 2008 support anyway). I could change colors for bars etc and save it and open it again in VS 2008. VS complained about
    The full CR designer is also much better to work with so if I can use full CR 2008 without affecting my VS application that would be nice (I guess installing the .NET components would force the use of CR 2008 runtime assemblies).
    Also another question:
    When you use datasets as datasource and use the preview in VS it will use some fake data. But in CR 2008 stand-alone you don't get any data at all. Is there a way to do the same with full CR?

    Hi Magnus,
    You can use CR 2008 to edit reports but there are warnings. .NET version of CR is 10.5, based on the CR version 10 functionality. CR 2008 has much more functionality so as long as you don't add any features of CR 2008 to the reports then it should work. But it is recommended that you use the same version for functionality and 100% compatability.
    Yes you do need SP0 installed.
    You should also upgrade to CR 2008 Developer then you can use the full SDK functionality within .NET and be able to support all the latest OS platforms.
    Please post a separate question for your database question. Use one posting for each question, if not the posts tend to get messy.
    Thank you

  • Crystal Reports Error, Developer Edition, XI R2

    Post Author: squiggly12
    CA Forum: Deployment
    I have a non embedded report sitting on a network server, and I have a program that when a menu link is clicked, it calls a .net dll which then popluates a .net 2.0 dataset, then crystal will load that table, and display my report. This works fine on any computer that has a full install of crystal, but when i try to run it from a client computer, this error shows.
    I was going to add an image to this post, but I am not able to as the little insert/edit image button isn't working. So i'm going to type out the full error message.
    An error has occurred while attempting to load the crystal reports runtime.
    Either the crystal reports registry key permissions are insufficient or the crystal reports runtime is not installed correctly.
    please install the appropriate crystal reports redistributable (crredist*.msi) containing the currect version of the crystal reports runtime (x86, x64, or itanium) required. Please go to http://ww.businessobjects.com/support for more information.

    Any news on this thread, I have exactly the same problem, at this time, It has passed 2 years, and I do not find any solution yet!
    Can anyone provide me on solution.
    I have bought CR XI, I have installed Vista x64 on my developer machine, and I will not rollback to Windows XP x86.
    Does BO have one Runtime (AT LEAST for develop), because I can build reports, but I cannot test them because the code does not run without the x64 version of the Runtime.
    If I do not have any solution in 2 weeks I will garbage Crystal Reports and go for Another solution, and start selling another solutions integrated on our products.
    Thanks

  • SAP 9.0 PL10 Crystal Report Viewing/Editing error

    When trying to preview any crystal document in SAP, I'm getting a "The procedure entry point could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP Business Objects\SAP BusinessObjectEnterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\rasauditingw.dll". I've manually registered the dll, and still get the error on the first view of any document. Subsequent previews no longer show the error, until you log out of SAP. This is all happening in the SAP Client, and only happens after I install the Crystal Server Integration piece required by the Crystal Report Addin to edit Crystal Reports. Anyone else getting this?

    This isn't the issue. Crystal Reports runs fine. Opening from all programs works fine. It's when in SAP, and you try to preview any marketing document for the first time only, I get a windows error box stating "The procedure entry point could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP Business Objects\SAP BusinessObjectEnterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\rasauditingw.dll". Clicking OK on the box allows the document to be previewed, and crystal viewer opens properly. This above note does not reference this issue, or is it relevent to this version of SAP 9.0.

  • Programmatically create objects and formulas in Crystal Reports XI Developer edition?

    <p>Is it possible to programatically/dynamically create a text, line, formula field object, etc. in Crystal XI Developer edition?  I have been programming with the Crystal .Net reports component that came with VS 2005 for the past 6 months and know for a fact you can&#39;t programmatically create those objects although you can programmatically control their properties.  My intention is to create a dynamic report that can be reused extensively.  My current work-around for this was to create a generic report with about 40 formula field objects which draws data from 40 corresponding formula fields that I can programmatically set it&#39;s formula thus imitating a report field.  I want to update to the developer edition because I heard with this edition we can programmatically create and manipulate these objects but I found no reference or examples anywhere that proves we can do this?  Does anyone know for a fact or point me to the right place to look for documentation?  TIA</p>

    Hi,
    How can I programmatically refresh list of values status on CR server XI R2?
    Currently, after I modified the data source in the data connection, some of the LOVs in the report prompt window became empty when I tried to generate the report. I have to use Business View Manager to log onto the Crystal reports server XI R2, find and double click the list of values object to bring up the Edit LOV window, and then click on "Refresh Status" button to make the LOV available in the report prompt window.
    What SDK should I use to create a simple application (preferable a desktop application) to find all LOV objects on CR server XI R2 and to refresh their status? That is an application similar to the "Refresh Status" function in Business View Manager.
    I found Report Engine SDK has the Lov.Refresh function to refresh LOV. On the other hand, Report Engine SDK seems to be for BusinessObjects Enterprise, not for Crystal Reports Server. Can this or other function achieve what I want, i.e. to refresh list of values status on CR server XI R2? If yes, can I use it to develop a self-contained desktop application instead of a web application? I only need to run this application after I modify the data source in the data connection, so I prefer not need to deploy it as a web service.
    Thanks for your help.
