Crystal Reports XI Runtime Performance

I have Crystal Reports XI Developer Edition Installed. The reports I develop are deployed with a VB6 application using the Crystal Reports XI Merge Modules. On some of the reports we are seeing severe performance degradation if they are run from a machine with only the runtime installed. For example, if I run on of the reports (through the VB6 app) on my machine (with CR XI Developer Edition) installed I get the report displyed in 2 - 3 seconds. Running the same report on a different machine with only the CR XI runtime installed, and against the same database and database server, i.e. identical data set, the report will take 25 - 30 seconds. Any ideas where to start looking to trace the cause of this performance degradation?
Thanks in advance
Ian

Hi Ian,
Firstly you should download Cr XI R2 and all of it's service packs to bring you up to the latest version and it's a free download.
Secondly since you are using VB6 I assume you are using RDC report engine?
25 - 30 second delay doesn't sound obvious. Most times there is a delay of a minute or so due to the database the reports were designed against is no longer available, the delay is the connection time-out.
I would open those reports and in the Report Options menu check off Verify on first refresh, and Verify stored procedures. Also open up regedit and go to this location:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions and change VerifyWhenDBDriverUpgraded = to No.
Also change DoAutoSmartLinking = No on both the runtime and your dev PC. It can delay the opening while CR tries to link all tables and fields in the report.
I would then compare runtime files using various tools, Modules is available for download on our site, and compare all the runtime, not jsut CR. It may be a different version of your DB client or dependencies.
Next option is to add logging in your application that logs time to open the report, set DB logon info etc. to see which step is actually causing the delay.
Thank you
Don

Error in Crystal Reports 2008 Runtime Version = 12.2.3.467

Dear Support Team
 
 
I am making the setup for our application using InstallShield 2010.
 
 
I recently updated the crystal reports 2008 runtime to version = 12.2.3.467.
 
 
Based on this article
 
 
 
 
Topic of the week (October 15, 2009)
 
Date time field is blank when using ADO .NET dataset and Crystal Reports 2008, Service Pack 2.0
 
This is a new issue, very specific to CR 2008 and SP 2. Date time fields are stripped out of a report (or not
 
visible), if a report is consuming a .NET dataset which contains a date time field. A technical escalation has been
 
submitted and a work-around is detailed in note number 1392258
 
 
 
Since DateTime Column was not getting displayed in the deployment machine when running the report.
 
 
So I downloaded the Crystal Report 2008 FP2.3 and merge module for the same and installed on my development machine
 
 
where I am making the Setup.
 
 
I am able to make the setup successfully without errors, but when I try to install the setup on the deployment machine I am getting
 
the errors as
 
 
Error 1904.Module C:\Program Files\BusinessObjects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\CEReportSource.dll
 
failed to register
 
Same message pops up for N number of Crystal Dlls with message failed to register.
 
Even though as per article in your forums I am doing everything right.
 
I have correct Dll for VC++ 2005
 u2022
 
Microsoft_VC80_ATL_x86.msm; version 8.0.50727.762
 
 
u2022 Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm version 8.0.50727.762

With exactly same versions as mentioned in the article.
 
 
I followed the article in your forum
 
Building a deployment project with Crystal Reports 2008 (12.1.0.892) SP1
 
Posted on Mar. 09, 2009 08:22 AM in Business Objects
 
The same sort of errors is coming but I am doing everything right as per that article.
 
 
To Inform you further before updating crystal reports 2008 runtime to version = 12.2.3.467.
 
 
Everything was working fine, only problem was that Date Time column was not displaying at runtime on the deployment
 
 
machine.

Dear Mr. Williams
I dont think this is the issue related to MS Installer. Still based on your suggestion I downloaded the latest MS Installer from Microsoft Website and Installed on my setup machine and made the new setup with zero errors and warning.
The deployment machine is having full rights and so there is no security issues related to installation even though to clear the confusion I installed the setup on three other xp machines the result was same even after installing the latest MS installer on those machines as well.
I wanrt to remind it again since I was facing the DATE TIME column Issue problem in reports on deployment machines so I updated the Crystal Reports TO CRFP 2.3 EXE AND MSM as mentioned in your forums regarding this known bug that if datetime column is getting from dataset then that column was not getting displayed.
From that time onwards I am unable to install the setup on the deployment machines and I am getting errors unable to register errors crystal reports dlls.
Apart from that I downloaded Crystal Reports 2008 Fix Pack 2.3 - Redist Install (cr2008_fp23_redist.zip) from the download page but i can't open it I am gettinig the error message doesnt appear to be a valid archive.
Please help me and provide me some solution regardeing the issue I am stuck with.

Crystal Reports XI Runtime .msm Files

We have a mixed environment (VB6, .NET 2003, .NET 2005) on each of our workstations. We require a Crystal Reports 11 runtime that will cover all of these platforms. There are six.msm files available to build the runtime. One is for .NET 2003, another for .NET 2005, and the remaining four are for the Report Designer Component (RDC), which will cover VB6's ActiveX:
CrystalReports11_5_NET.msm (for .NET 2003)
CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm
CrystalReports11_5_RDC_Designtime.msm
CrystalReports11_5_RDC_License.msm
CrystalReports11_5_RDC_Reportengine.msm
CrystalReports11_5_RDC_Runtime.msm
When we try to build a Setup project with all of these msm's included, we get the "Unable to merge data from the merge module because it conflicts with existing data in the package". Apparently the modules are duplicated in the msm's. With further examination, it appears that the RDC msm's include most of the runtime files in the other msm's, but not all.
So we're trying to determine how to be able to include all the required modules in the runtime.
Maybe we need to build a separate runtime package for each of the three platforms and then run all of them to get everything that we need?

Building separate runtime packages will be the way to go. BTW, you do not need to include the CrystalReports11_5_RDC_Designtime.msm, unless your RDC app uses the report creation APIs and craxDDrt.dll.

Support for Crystal Report XI runtime on Windows Server 2008 R2

Hi all,
I was wondering if Crystal report XI runtime is supported on Windws Server 2008 R2.
I've found this url http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e06b8953-a62b-2d10-38b9-ca71f747e2b1?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true&59511066859035
We are develping with .Net framework 2.0.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Roberto.

Hi Roberto,
By 'Crystal report XI runtime' if you mean CR 11.0, then it is not supported with Windws Server 2008 R2.
See the compatibility chart.
http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?original_fqdn=wiki.sdn.sap.com&pageId=56787567
The link you have referred is for Crystal Reprots for VS 2010 / 2012 / 2013 which is the lates version of CR which provides the SDK.

Windows Server 2008 R2 Crystal Report XI Runtime hosted on IIS 7 32 bit

Hi all,
We have discovered that our software department installed Windows Server 2008 R2 in a production environment.
The production environment hosts asp .net applications on IIS 7 that enables 32 bit applicatons to run over it.
We still develope on Windows XP and Visual Studio 2005 using Crystal Report XI runtime.
Reports are compatible and run properly in production environment having enabled application pool of IIS 7 in 32 bit mode.
Is Crystal report XI runtime supported on windows server 2008 R2 hosted on IIS7 32 bit mode?
Regards.
Roberto.

Hello,
Where to start.... first thing to do is search, lots of posts on these exact questions...
First, CR XI R2 does not support 4.0 framework, although MS does say it's fully backward compatible but it is not supported on Windows 2008 R2 unless you upgrade to CR XI R2A
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009114712011E/crxir2sp4_fullbuild.exe
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009114412011E/crxir2sp6_incremental.exe
Or for a clean PC https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009114712011E/crxir2sp4_fullbuild.exe
Redist is on our download page.
Second is CR XI R2 is not supported in VS 2010. Only one supported is CR for VS 2010 which you can download from here:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/crystalreports-dotnet
Bottom of the page has all of the download links for the 32 and 64 bit runtime for your WEB server.
App Pool must run in 32 mode, just in case you are using 64 bit OS.
Lastly, if you are using the SAP Integration Kit to connect to your BEX query then bad news, CR for VS 2010 doesn't have API's available to set the log on on info.
You may be able to use B1, it uses CR 2008 OEM Build and they may support this. Search that forum to see if they do:

Crystal Report 2008 Runtime License

Hi,
I have a Crystal Report 2008 designer license.
I want to design reports and distribute to my clients.
Clients will just execute the reports through my application with the Crystal Report 2008 Runtime.
There is runtime available on:
https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm
While installing the runtime it does not ask for any license key.
my query is do we require any license to use the Crystal Report 2008 Runtime?
Can we install the same runtime on web servers so that multiple clients can use it.
Do we require any license for the Runtime on server?
Thanks,
Abhijit

Hi Thanks for the reply.
Just to make it sure is that means?
1. Crystal Report 2008 Runtime is free for the client applications.
2. Crystal Report 2008 Runtime requires the 'SAP Crystal Reports runtime server license' to use the runtime on server applications.
Is it correct.
Thanks,
Abhijit

Crystal Reports 2008 Runtime, Windows Server 2008 64-Bit AND SharePoint2007

Hi Guys,
here i'm again.
Well I'm developing on a 32-Bit OS with Crystal Reports 2008. I've deployed my solution to SharePoint, but when i try to call a report in the aspx-Website i get the following error:
Exception Details: CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.LoadSaveReportException: 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 correct version of the Crystal Reports runtime (x86, x64, or Itanium) required. Please go to http://www.businessobjects.com/support for more information.
Here are the technical details:
- Windows Server 2008 (64Bit)
- IIS7
- Microsoft Office Server 2008 (64Bit)
- Crystal Reports 2008 SP3
I've read, that there isn't a 64-Bit runtime version of CR2008. Then i tryed the two following suggestions i found in this forum:
1. Try to run the IIS-Application-Pool in 32-Bit-Mode -> This don't work, because SharePoint then throws a "Internal Server Error - Code 500" (no SharePoint Sites are available).
2. Try to compile the Visual Studio Project as 32-Bit -> This don't work, because SharePoint could not load the assembly
Well, are there any other hints, suggestions or experiences how i could get this to work?
Thanks in advance,
Christian

Crystal Reports 2008 runtime error while running on Windows Server X64

I have a .NET web application compiled as X86 in Visual Studio 2008 invoking Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 that's running fine at a number of sites running Windows Server 2003 X86.

When deploying this app to Windows Server 2008 X64 I get the error message below. 

I'm aware that there is an unanswered question similar to this already in the forum but my application is compiled for X86 and I've tryed installing a variety of run times including "crruntime_12_2_mlb.msi" and "crredist2008_x86.msi".

What combination of compile and run time is needed to get around this issue?

Thanks.

See [this|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56787567] wiki. I think I may not have that wiki updated up to FP2.5, so the FP2.5 msm is here:

Check the version of the CR assemblies referenced in your project. The use the wiki above to deploy the correct runtime.

JNDI lookup for Crystal Reports at runtime

How to run a rpt to fetch data from database connection defined in Tomcat's JNDI resources ? We are using JDBC(JNDI) Data source while designing the report in the Crystal Report designer and we want to use 'Connection Name' at runtime for jndi lookup to Tomcats JNDI resources.

Detail sections not displayed with Crystal Reports 2010 Runtime (SP1 also)

I have migrated a VB app from RDC 9 to Crystal Reports 2010 and I'm experiencing a very strange issue.
In a report with 6 nested groups, the detail part is splitted in 7 section, and the whole detail has the "keep together" flag activated. At runtime, some detail sections are not displayed. There is no suppress condition on the detail section. The missed sections are those near bottom of the page. I suppose that when there is no room to print the section on the page and it should go on the next page, Crystal forget to display it.
I exported the report in Crystal format and reopened with Crystal Reports designer and the missed section are displayed.
The same report is displayed correctly using RDC 9.
If I show the group tree and select the missed section group, the section is correctly displayed on a separate preview page.
I've some screenshot to better demonstrate the problem.
I hoped SP1 will resolve the issue but unfortunately it didn't.

This issue has been escalated for a fix. tracking number is TE5000325237. For anyone wanting to attach to this thread with a similar issue, please note the behavior as decribed in the TE below. If the description does not match your issue exactly, please create a new thread.
Description - Steps to Reproduce;
1) Run the report in the CR 2008 designer - note the second page
2) Run the report in VS2010 app using CRVS2010 SP1:
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = <path to report>
3) Look at page 2 and compare to page 2 from the CR2008 designer (also, see attached compare.jpg file which is a screen shot of both views) - note missing group on page 2
4) Export to PDF, DO, RTF - same issue
5) Print to printer using the viewer print button - same issue
6) Same issue print to printer using code:
Dim crReportDocument As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument()
crReportDocument.Load("C:\Crystal\Test\Forum tests\Alberto missing detail section\Crystal Issue\Distinta di Taglio CR 2010.rpt")
crReportDocument.PrintToPrinter(1, 1, 1, 2)
 MsgBox("Done")
7) Same issue print to printer using code:
Dim crReportDocument As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument()
crReportDocument.Load("C:\Crystal\Test\Forum tests\Alberto missing detail section\Crystal Issue\Distinta di Taglio CR 2010.rpt")
Dim rcd As ISCDReportClientDocument
 rcd = crReportDocument.ReportClientDocument
 rcd.PrintOutputController.PrintReport()
 MsgBox("Done")
8) Export to RPT file format - view this export in the CR2008 Designer - report looks as it should
9) Add report to the .NET2010 project. trying to view the repor tin the .NET2010 IDE results in .NET crashing.

Deploying Crystal Reports 2008 runtimes without using MSI/MSM

Post Author: windentdev
CA Forum: Deployment
We are having multiple issues with using the MSI or the Merge module to deploy the 2008 runtimes.
Specifically, one of the issues is that PrintControll.dll will not register and causes the runtime package to fail.
How can we deploy these run times w/o using the MSI or merge module??
We just upgraded from Crystal Reports 11.5 and this is becoming a burden to our project. Are there any whitepapers on what is needed or any other instruction that may assist us in a sucessful deployment of these runtimes?

Post Author: Justin Azevedo
CA Forum: Deployment
I eventually found the problem. I used depends to trace the printcontrol.dll and found that it requires msvcr71.dll to be installed in the system folder. This is a Visual C++ 7.1 (.net 2003) library. It looks like Business Objects forgot to put this into their runtime installer. That is why it works on some computers and not others. Some computers have this dll file installed as part of other software (including other crystal reports versions). I created a patch installer that basically drops this dll file into the system folder. Once that is done, then the runtime installs correctly.
If you would like to recreate this problem, try installing the CR2008 runtime (MM, EXE, or compact) on a FRESH copy of Windows. It will error out everytime.
If anyone reading this would like my patch, please send me an email.

Crystal Reports XI Runtime-Installer problem

hi all,
we build an VB6 application and include crviewer into this application.
now we will install the runtime on other clients and we become the error-message
'A Crystal reports job failed because a free license could not bei obtained in the time allocated'
what can we do??
best regard,
sebastian

hallo zusammen,
ich und ein kollege haben eine vb6-anwendung entwickelt in welcher wir auch crystal-reports xi
einbinden. in weiterer folge habe ich mit den von business objects bereit gestellten merge-modulen
ein MSI-Setup erzeugt. Nach eingigen Fehlern von wegen fehlender DLL's und dem Besuch einiger
Foren habe ich nun auch alle anderen notwendigen DLL's in das Setup eingebunden.
Das Setup und die Apllikation laufen nun wunderbar ab bis auf nachfolgenden Fehler:
'A Crystal reports job failed because a free license could not bei obtained in the time allocated'
Hat jemand eine Idee woran das liegen kann?
Dank im Voraus.

Crystal Reports 2008 Runtime for 64 bit iis

I have just finished developing several reports on my 32 bit developer machine. My application is an asp.net web application using DotNetNuke. I am not trying to use the Crystal Report Viewer. I am exporting the report document to a pdf. On the developer machine everything works as expected.
I moved the project to production which is a 64 bit windows server running iis 7.*
I quickly found the issue of the cr runtime not being compatible with 64 bit compilation. I changed the application pool to run in 32 bit mode.
Now I am getting the following error:
An unhandled exception occurred and the process was terminated.
Application ID: DefaultDomain

Any help would be appreciated as I am to demonstrate the reports to my board next week.

I'm going to guess you are trying to store the ReportDocument in session, and your IIS server is setup to save session objects on a state server, or something other than the default of inProc which requires objects to be serializable, unfortunately most objects within the Crystal Reports SDK are not serializable.

Crystal Reports 2011 - runtimes

Hi Guys,
I 've just downloaded an evaluation copy of Crystal Reports 2011 to use in Visual Studio 2010. I am looking for any information on its deployment requirements with my own product such as runtime size, support for 32 and/or 64 bit, available as merge modules as well as msi etc. I did a quick google but did not find anything useful.
Thanks,
Paul

CR 2011 does not install any SDK. The SDk for .NET2010 is part of the CRVS2010 install:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/crystalreports-dotnet
E.g.; you can create your reports in CR 2011 and run them with the SDK in CRVS2010. The above link has all the runtimes, etc.

For runtime merge modules, please post to the Business Objects SDK Application Development. Note that there are several forums depending on the SDK you are using. Ensure that you are posting to the correct forum for fastest response.
