Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Service Pack 2 upgradation

Hi,
I need your support to upgrade and migrate to Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Service Pack 2 in my development server.
I am currently upgrading my Crystal enterprise version 9 with the Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Service Pack 2. I have the below questions to be clarified. Appreciate if you can reply me ASAP. Thanks.
My Environment:
O/S - Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition; Version 5.2 (Build 3790); Service Pack - 1
RAM size - 1 GB
Installed software - Crystal enterprise 9
1) After successfully upgraded with the XI version, all my current user accounts and existing reports are not available in the upgraded version. Pl. suggest me, how to migrate my existing connections and all the existing reports?
2) In my server, SQL Server is not installed. But SQL Server instance (SQL Server 7.00.623) is running in my taskbar (desktop). If I stopped the SQL Server instance, the "Crystal APS" in the Crystal Configuration Manager is stopped. What information is stored in the SQL Server?
3) What is the default SQL server version bundled with Crystal Reports XI Release 2 Service Pack 2? What is the SQL server version you recommand?
4) Will the Crystal Reports XI Release 2 SP2 supports the SQL Server 7.00.623?
Regards

Hello, Sanrajesh,
You have been using Crystal Enterprise 9.0 and now you are installing Crystal Reports XI R2. Is that correct?
Crystal Reports XI R2 is just the Crystal Reports designer and runtime for development.
Crystal Reports XI R2 does not have the functionality of Crystal Enterprise. The upgrade would be Crystal Enterprise 9.0 to Business Objects Enterprise XI R2. (11.5)
A full BusinessObjects Enterprise installation will install the appropriate MS SQL Server for it's own use.
Will this be the Enterprise server or just the Development system to create an application connecting to your BusinessObjects Enterprise server?
What development language will you be programming in?
If you have BusinessObjects Enterprise installed elsewhere you only need the appropriate development components on your system and connect to the server in code.
Our BusinessEnterprise Support team would assist you in the upgrade from Crystal Enterprise 9 to Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 if that was your plan.
Then we could discuss the development requirements.

Problem with Crystal report XI after loading Service pack 4 and htfix 12

Hi,
I am using dotnet framework 1.1.
After I install the service pack 4 and monthly hot fix, I got the following error when trying to access any crystal report page.

after i uninstall the service pack and monthly hot fix the reports started working.
Please help.

To be honest, I have no idea. Other than the obvious; unless you need SP 4, don't use it...
CR XI r1 is out of support, so if that was a bug, it will not get fixed.
Also, since you have CR XI r1, you are entitled to upgrade to CR XI r2 for free. If that is an option, let me know and I'll supply the link to CR XI r2, the latest SP for CR XI r2 and the msm runtime files.

Crystal Reports (VS-2005). Service Pack for Windows 2008 Server

I had issues with reduced font size on Export and Printing. On a PC with Windows XP SP2 installed, I made registry changes as recommended in this post:
[Font size decreases when exporting to PDF (Crystal Reports)|http://mdn.morovia.com/kb/Font-size-decreases-exporting-PDF-Crystal-Reports-10053.html]
Prior to making registry changes, I also installed Crystal Reports SP1 for VS-2005. After this, everything seems to be working fine.
But I still have this Reduced Font Size issue on my Server with Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise installed.
I installed the same Service Pack and made the registry changes, but the changes don't seem to appear. It is still showing Reduced Fonts on Export and Printing. My server is also running Visual Studio 2005.

I concur with Bhushan;
It may or may not work with windows server 2008 .
One idea;
Use [Process Monitor|http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx]. Look at the procmon logs and see if the registry key is being looked at \ accessed by the report engine.
Other than that, upgrade to a version of CR that supports the OS is your only option.

Crystal Reports 2008 Error Installing Service Pack 1

Hello,
I am trying to install Service Pack 1 for Crystal Reports 2008 on Windows 2008 Server as an adminstrator and I get the following error message:
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a fold containing the installation package "CrystalReports.msi" in the box below."
Also, I have been unable to complete the registration wizard because I do not get a 10-digit registration number when I complete the registration process at www.sap.com/solutions/sap-crystal-solutions/productregistration . I don't know if this problem might be causing the Service Pack 1 to not install.
Thanks,
Michele

Hi Michele,
Windows 2008 is not officially supported yet but it is for Vista and Windows 7 after SP 2.
To get it to work uninstall first, make sure you keep your keycode and then download SP 3 full build:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009989492010E/cr2008_sp3_fullbuild.zip
Then it should work.
Thank you

Crystal Reports for Visual Studio Service Pack 1 didn't fix my issue

I have been working for some time on a web application project which is using Crystal Reports for some of its reporting features. I installed Service Pack 1 on the server but it failed to resolve the following issue:
ADAPT00638965
Description: Using the Crystal Report Webform Viewer to search for a string that exists on the current page of a report does not return the correct result.
I installed the same service pack on my development machine and it DID fix the problem. I cannot understand the reason why. I was oping someone may have had experience with this and may know why it isn't working or, more importantly, how to fix it. Please help!

Not a problem. Essentially, we have two choices since it looks like the SP you ran on the server did not update the runtime. So, we can determine the dlls that are different by using the modules utility and replace the old dlls (not my prefered way) or create a new deployment project using the patched merge modules (way prefered). Since you are using CR 9.1(?) that bundles with .NET 2003, the application was deployed to the server. Somehow, the correct CR runtime had to also have been deployed. Since CR 9.1 does not have an MSI file, you have to create your own deployment project (either an setup.exe or an MSI) using the CR 9.1 merge modules. All of this assumes that your development computer and the web server do indeed have the same application (version and all. e.g.; if the app on the server uses CR 10, the patch for CR 9.1 will do nothing for you). The merge modules for CR 9.1 can be downloaded from here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006009302008E/cr_net_2003_mm_en.zip
This White Paper has more details on how to create a deployment project:

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

Salesforce and Crystal Reports XI Release 2 Full build with Service Pack 2

Hi
I need to install 'Crystal Reports XI Release 2 Full build with Service Pack 2' (CR XI R2 SP2) on a new computer but can't find the exe/zip file used previously to do that.
The reason I need that particular version is because (as I understand it) its the version needed to interface with our Salesforce application.
I have the CRXI original disks and keycode but as I understand it no manner of patching with SPs will get me to CR XI R2 SP2.
I've tried various searches and frustratingly come up with only dead links (old BO forums and SAP forums).
Is there a live link somewhere that I can use, or will a later version do the job?
For example, alternatively, will I be able to use the CR XI R2 SP4 file instead?

CA Forum: Deployment
Hello,
Crystal Reports XI and XI R2 are not supported on 64 bit machines. I have not heard of any plans to change this. As you've discovered - the only version of Crystal Reports that is supported on a 64 bit machine is CR.NET 2005 (v10.2), the version that ships with VS2005.
Your options are to downgrade your application to use bundled CR.NET 2005 or to deploy your CR XI R2 .NET application to a 32 bit machine.

I have been tryig to upgrade my Crystal reports XI Release 2 with the latest service paks, but when i try to apply any they say that i need at least service pak 2. I try to install service pak 2 and it tells me that there. Another version of this product is already installed.

Upgrading Crystal Reports XI Release 2 to CR 2008: Where is ReportDocument

I am attempting to upgrade our .NET Crystal Reports code from Crystal Reports XI Release 2 on Visual Studio 2005 SP1 to Crystal Reports 2008 on the same compiler. We use the ReportDocument interface and I can't seem to find it in the new Crystal Reports 4.0 managed directory. Here's the top of the .header file that worked in the old environment:
#using <CrystalDecisions.Shared.dll>
#using <CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll>
#using <CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore.dll>
using namespace CrystalDecisions::Shared;
using namespace CrystalDecisions::CrystalReports::Engine;
With that code in place, I get compiler errors indicating that the packages can't be found:
c:\dev\sources\videoview_6_6\video\nextlink\reportfaxservice\NReportFaxServiceImpl.h(13) : fatal error C1107: could not find assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Shared.dll': please specify the assembly search path using /AI or by setting the LIBPATH
environment variable
If I comment out the lines as follows and add in the ReportDefModel (the only dll that appears to have a ReportDocument symbol):
// #using <CrystalDecisions.Shared.dll>
// #using <CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll>
#using <CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore.dll>
#using <CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.dll>
// using namespace CrystalDecisions::Shared;
// using namespace CrystalDecisions::CrystalReports::Engine;
using namespace CrystalDecisions::ReportAppServer::ReportDefModel;
Then, I get compiler errors like this:
NReportFaxServiceImpl.cpp(306) : error C2039: 'Close' : is not a member of 'CrystalDecisions::ReportAppServer::ReportDefModel::ReportDocument'
 c:\dev\businessobjects\common\4.0\managed\crystaldecisions.reportappserver.reportdefmodel.dll : see declaration of 'CrystalDecisions::ReportAppServer::ReportDefModel::ReportDocument'

NReportFaxServiceImpl.cpp(974) : error C2039: 'ExportToDisk' : is not a member of 'CrystalDecisions::ReportAppServer::ReportDefModel::ReportDocument'
 c:\dev\businessobjects\common\4.0\managed\crystaldecisions.reportappserver.reportdefmodel.dll : see declaration of 'CrystalDecisions::ReportAppServer::ReportDefModel::ReportDocument'
Here's line 306 of that source file, for example:
NReportFaxServiceImpl::~NReportFaxServiceImpl()
 DESTLOG( LOG_NREPORTSERVER, "NReportFaxServiceImpl::~NReportFaxServiceImpl", "[[[]]]" );
 RFaxCloseServerHandle( _hRightFaxServer );
 // close all the report documents
 IDictionaryEnumerator^ enumReportDocuments = _mapReportDocuments->GetEnumerator();
 while( enumReportDocuments->MoveNext() )
 Object^ reportName = enumReportDocuments->Key;
 ReportDocument^ crReportDocument = dynamic_cast<ReportDocument^>(enumReportDocuments->Value);
/* line 306 */ crReportDocument->Close();
Can anyone advise me of the correct #using directive to specify to pull in the ReportDocument object?
Thanks.

Okay, we seem to be getting somewhere. I switched the /AI directive to point to the managed/dotnet2 directory, but then I get the following warning:
c:\dev\sources\videoview_6_6\video\nextlink\reportfaxservice\NReportFaxServiceImpl.h(15) : fatal error C1107: could not find assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore.dll': please specify the assembly search path using /AI or by setting the LIBPATH environment variable
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'c:\dev\VisualStudio\VC\bin\cl.EXE' : return code '0x2'
So, I commented out the following line in the header:
#using <CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore.dll>
Then, I get the following error when I try to make the project:
NReportFaxServiceImpl.cpp(982) : error C3624: 'System::Drawing::Printing::PrinterSettings': use of this type requires a reference to assembly 'System.Drawing'
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'c:\dev\VisualStudio\VC\bin\cl.EXE' : return code '0x2'
Here is line 982:
 crReportDocument->PrintToPrinter(1, false, 0, 0);
So, I'm assuming that maybe I need to provide an assembly search path to both the managed and the managed/dotnet2 directories. Is that correct? If so, is order dependent between those two /AI directives.
Thanks.

SSRS 2008 R2 is extremely slow. The query runs in less than a second in the dataset designer but if you try to view the report it takes over 10 minutes. I have read this is a bug in SSRS 2008 R2. We installed the most recent patches and service packs.

SSRS 2008 R2 is extremely slow. The query runs in less than a second in the dataset designer but if you try to view the report it takes over 10 minutes. I have read this is a bug in SSRS 2008 R2. We installed the most recent patches and
service packs. Nothing we've done so far has fixed it and I see that I'm not the only person with this problem. However I don't see any answers either.

Hi Kim Sharp,
According to your description that when you view the report it is extremely slow in SSRS 2008 R2 but it is very fast when execute the query in dataset designer, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can‘t reproduce the issue. Obviously, it is the performance issue, rendering performance can be affected by a combination of factors that include hardware, number of concurrent users accessing reports, the amount
of data in a report, design of the report, and output format. If you have parameters in your report which contains many values in the list, the bad performance as you mentioned is an known issue on 2008 R2 and already have the hotfix:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2276203
Any issue after applying the update, I recommend you that submit a feedback at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/
If you don’t have, you can do some action to improve the performance when designing the report. Because how you create and update reports affects how fast the report renders.
Actually, the Report Server ExecutionLog2 view contains reports performance data. You could make use of below query to see where the report processing time is being spent:
After you determine whether the delay time is in data retrieval, report processing, or report rendering:
use ReportServer
SELECT TOP 10 ReportPath,parameters,
TimeDataRetrieval + TimeProcessing + TimeRendering as [total time],
TimeDataRetrieval, TimeProcessing, TimeRendering,
ByteCount, [RowCount],Source, AdditionalInfo
FROM ExecutionLog2
ORDER BY Timestart DESC
Use below methods to help troubleshoot issues according to the above query result :
Troubleshooting Reports: Report Performance
Besides this, you could also follow these articles for more information about this issue:

SSRS slow
Any problem, please feel free to ask

Integrate Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and VS2005 IDE

Hi,How can i integrate Crystal Reports XI R2 is directly into the Visual Studio 2005 development environments. So i can host my report in either a Web or Windows application with one of the Crystal Reports viewer controls, or use the extensive API to interact with the report programmatically at runtime. My current setup is:<blockquote>Crystal Reports XI Release 2.</blockquote><blockquote>Visual Studio 2005 Professional (I did not install the Crystal Reports .Net shipped with VS 2005.)SQ Server 2000. </blockquote>Thanks Please help.

You'll need to install the Crystal .NET that comes with VS 2005.Â You then install Crystal XI R2 over the top and not only will Crystal be integrated with the IDE, it should use the updated assemblies from R2.

Need help with Updating Crystal Reports XI Release 2.

I had to reload my Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and I am trying to get the software up to date. I looked for Service Pack 1 Incremental on the Downloads and it is not available. I tried downloading Service Pack 2 Incremental and it said I need Service Pack 1. Is there another alternative step that I need to take? When I tried doing the Service Pack 2 Full Build, I had to uninstall and reinstall. Then I was not able to get to the ODBC drivers that I needed to export files. Please advise to fix my issue.
Thanks,
Julie

Hi Julie,
Download Cr SP 4 full build and then download the [DataDirect ODBC|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100008666562008E/cr_datadirect53_win32.zip] drivers.
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100011802732008E/crxir2_sp4_full_build.exe
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100013876392008E/crxir2win_sp5.exe
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100015859952009E/crxir2win_sp6.exe
Full builds require an uninstall first much much easier than updating incrementally.
Thank you

Crystal Reports XI Release 2: Error message when trying to install

I am unable to install Crystal Reports XI Release 2 onto my computer. After putting CD1 into my computer and clicking install, I get the following error message:
"Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid."
A couple members of my companies' I.T. department tried to help, but the error message was foreign to them. Tthey even built me a new hard drive, but unfortunately it gave me the same error message.
I am able to install Crystal Reports XI without a problem, but for some reason, Crystal Reports Release 2 will not install.
Any help you can provide in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

1.Are you able to neglect the installation window completely.
Like,can you just open your drive which accepts the cd and copy all the files from the win32 folder to another folder say "test".
2. If not on this machine, could you please try this on some other machine.
3.Otherwise you can download it from the following URL:
http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/servic
e_packs/crystal_reports_en.asp#CRXIR2
Please select the "Service Pack 2 - Full build - ZIP - 1.03 GB -released April 2007" hyperlink.
Let me know if this helps
Thanks

Crystal Reports XI to Crystal Reports XI Release 2

Is there an SR update to go from Crystal Reports XI to Release 2? Or is it essentially a whole other version of the software and must be purchased seperately?
Can Crystal Reports XI Release 2, save files back to Crystal Reports XI version?
I'm supporting two applications that utilize Crystal Reports as its reporting engine. Problem is that one uses Crystal Reports XI and the other Release 2.

Hi Wenin,
We can upgrade from Crystal XI to Crystal XI R2.
We need to have the set up or download of Cr Xi R2 enter the key and run the Cr Xi r2 application.
If we have requirement to run multiple applications one single machine then we can install.
Else it is recommended to have one version of crystal on client machine.
Bcoz both versions will have same registry keys and .dll files .
So, be aware and can run the 2 crystal applications easily.
Thanks,
Naveen.
