Error adding report to Crystal Server 2011

I have a report that runs against Salesforce.com that I'm trying to add to Crystal Server 2011. The server is running version 14.0.2.364 of BI. When I try to add the report through either the CMC or through the BI Launch Pad I get the same error.
"An error has occurred: Adding Crystal Report "Quarterly Report 2011 with MF v3-2 Les Testing.rpt" failed. The server with kind rptappserver returned an error result. Failed to copy the report file to the report object. Refreshing the report object properties might have failed. Failed to read data from report file C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\Data\CrystalReportsRasServer\temp\{7FD511B8-F5DF-42AC-98D7-D2C43B1C458B}.rpt. Reason: Failed to read parameter object "
If I try to add it by saving from Crystal Reports I get "Item 1 was not found in the collection"
I'm logging on as administrator in both cases to the CR server. I did find a thread where it was suggested that checking the "No Printer" box under page setup may fix it so I tried that but got the same results. I also saw some references to firewalls, but the server is on a local subnet to my machine and all windows firewalls are turned off.
The server is a fresh install of 2008 R2 and a demo download of CR Server 2011 and Client Tools.
Any help on a direction here would be greatly appreciated. I've been banging my head against this for a while now.

I cannot offer much help, but I see the same issue.
When I create a report in Developer it runs fine in Developer, but it will not load up to Crystal Server. I can save the report with a new name and 50% of the time it will load to the Server. Sometimes when I try to load the report, it seems the Server is thinking for a long time. I hit "OK" button on server screen and then "Cancel" the report SOMETIMES shows in the list of reports. I just witnessed saving a non-loading report as another report and successfully loaded it into Server, then I ran the report in developer, closed it and tried to reload it to the server and it failed.
It appears to be completely random.
My gut tells me it has to do with the Salesforce driver (i.e. when I run it from Developer, the driver pollutes the report and chokes loading it on the server?)
Does anyone have any ideas?

Error running reports from Crystal Server XI R2 with datasets

Hi, sorry if my english is not good. I'm from Spain.
I have a problem. I'm programming with Visual Basic .NET 2008.
I'm using Crystal Reports Server and programming under Visual Basic to take reports from crystal Server, changing the tables from the report to datasets and scheduling this report.
Crystal server change connections to CrystalReports.Dataset.
Preview reports from server sends me an error "DataBase connector unknown"
If I run this report (with datasets) into my VBNET application (into a CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer control), IT WORKS!!!
I need help because I need to schedule these reports (to send them by email, export to PDF formats, ...)

Reporting off of a dataset is reporting off of a disconnected datasource. The reason your application works is beacuse you most likely populating a dataset in your application and passing it to the report at the same time. When scheduling, there is no interaction with the report so unless the report is using an xml file on disk as its datasource, how can it retrieve data?
To get around this, you can build a dll (.net data provider) that returns either a dataset or datatable and point your report to this dll. this way, when the report is executed, it loads the dll which fetches the data for you.
- so the first step is to compile a dll that returns a dataset or datatable.
- to design your report off of this dll open the database expert and create a new ADO.NET connection.
- in the File Path area, click the ellipsis ("...") button to browse to your dll and make sure the selected File Type is ".Net DataSet Provider".
- once the dll is selected, you can choose the dataset/table returned by the dll.
If your method in the dll is parameterized, it will add a parameter to the report (similar to stored procedure parameters.
note: the location of your dll must be in the same path on the CR Server as it was when you designed your report in order for it to be loaded correctly. I usually put the dll in a folder that I know will exist on both machines.

Connection error -2147217387 with Java RAS SDK and Crystal Server 2011

Due to a change in operating system, we are required to upgrade our Crystal Reports server from BusinessObjects Crystal Reports Server 11.5 to SAP Crystal Server 2011. We use the Java RAS SDK (RASCore 9.2.2.446 / RASApp 9.0) more or less as described in Java RAS2008-unmanaged exportreport. We use the Crystal Server to export reports stored on disk as PDF files.
In SAP Crystal Server 2011, the CrystalReports2011ReportApplicationServer is configured with Request Port 1566 and Host Identifier 172.16.4.154 (the local machine). The Crystal Server, report-definition files, and Java VM are all on the same machine.
The error is

Crystal Reports 2008 connecting to Crystal Server 2011

Hello SAP Experts,
I am new with the Crystal Client/Server platform and the only knowledge I have with the infrastructure is from the Crystal Server 2011 documentation I have pulled from SAP's website. I have looked at a lot of online resources but very few have the answers that I need.
I built an instance of Crystal Server 2011 running on Windows Server 2008 R2. Our clients are currently using Crystal Reports 2008 client where they connect directly to a SQL 2008 Data Warehouse to pull reports.
For security reasons, they want to implement Crystal Server 2011 to connect to the SQL 2008 Data Warehouse as a single point of entry, instead of having several Crystal Reports 2008 clients connecting to the SQL Data Warehouse.
The idea is to have the clients connect to the Crystal Server; the Crystal Server will then connect to the SQL Data Warehouse so clients can pull reports from it.
My questions are:
1. Is it possible to connect a Crystal Reports 2008 client to Crystal Server 2011? If so, how do I accomplish this?
2. Do I need to create a Universe in order for the Crystal clients to pull data/reports from the SQL 2008 Data Warehouse? Or is there a way I can create a connection without a Universe?
Any help offered is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Check our site for more info but in general CR fully respects all DB security, if the user does not have permissions on the table used in the report the report will fail to run.

Java 7 or 8 support for Crystal Server 2011 SP8

I was searching this wonderful site and didn't see any specific about what version of Java 7 or 8 that SAP supports for Crystal Server 2011 SP8. If anyone knows please reply back.
Thanks,
Adam

Ashvin,
I have those option but it won't create another discussion. I am getting this error on one report:
The viewer could not process an event. Error in File Case Usage Analysis by Patient: Encapsulating page failed.
I have search the internet and the community network for a solution with no luck. This happens on only one report. It's an oracle database 11g, and the report has one subreport. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Migration from Crystal Enterprise 10 to SAP Crystal Server 2011

Hi all,
We are currently using Crystal Enterprise 10 to schedule and view our reports and the designer is Crystal Reports 10 .
we are planning to migrate to SAP Crystal Server 2011 with Crystal Reports 2011 as the designer.Can we do this migration directly or do we need to do the migration to an intermediate version before going to SAP Crystal Server 2011.
Regards,
Sreekanth S S

1. So in this case, I need to migrate from Crystal Enterprise 10 to Crystal Reports Server XI R2/Crystal Reports Server 2008 or more using import wizard Then I will need to migrate from Crystal Reports Server XI R2/Crystal Reports Server 2008 to SAP Crystal Server 2011 using Upgrade Manager tool. Is my inference correct?
That is correct. For XI R2, it would be XI R2 SP2 minimum. And you need to have a live installation of XI R2 SP2 as SAP does not have it in archieve download area.
2.What is the potential risk if we try to migrate from Crystal Enterprise 10 to SAP Crystal Server 2011 using upgrade manager tool?
I am not sure if that will work with success, If the reports migrated from CE10 do not work in CRS2011, it would be unsupported. You can however try it anyways.
3.Can we open the reports developed using Crystal Reports 10 designer in Crystal Reports 2011 designer? .This is for another requirement of us where we have to just migrate the reports alone .
Yes you can do that. Try opening and running them in CR2011, they should work but some of them can also result in some errors here and their, this is more specific to report design and what kind of grouping\ filtering\formulas you use.

Can't upload reports to crystal server

Hello guys,
First is the system info:
Crystal Server XI R2 with SP3
OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 6)
Database: Oracle DB 10g
This issue shall be divided into two parts.
Parts one:
Before the server is reinstalled we can upload some reports. But there is some limitation. When one report is changed, we can't upload it to the server directly. This report should be renamed to a different name then it can be uploaded. If we don't do so it fails with an error message says 'An unexpected error has occurred'. So every time we need to rename reports and then upload them. This workaround is OK for some reports but not all of them. No matter how we reboot the machine or restart the crystal server.
Part two:
One day the machine crashed and we reinstalled the crystal server. But this time it won't accept any report at all. Still it accepts other file such as *.Doc, *.PDF Etc. Every time we try to upload a report and we get an error message says 'An unexpected error has occurred'. If we use CMC to upload a report we get something more detail says 'There was an error while retrieving data from the server: Unknown exception occurred when calling into the plugin'.
BTW, all reports are tested in report designer. They are 100% OK. All services of the crystal server are up and running.
And one more thing, how can I attach file in this forum. I want to give dear you the log files to refer to.
Thanks a lot.

Hi
It would be easier if you would keep this all in the same topic.
As suggested in you other thread ([Can't upload reports to crystal |Can't upload reports to crystal server]), this is very likely to be a permission problem.

Crystal Server 2011 license confusion

I have a question about Crystal Server 2011, that for some reason, our software vendor cant answer. A client has Crystal Server 2011 installed with 5 named users. These users can create and publish reports, as well as view them. However, users that have no license CANNOT view these published reports. I was under the impression that the 5 named user licenses are there for report creation, and that the other 100 users without licenses would be able to view these reports. Do these other users need licenses as well? If that is the case, it would make this product very costly to run. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
You have different kind of licenses.
Licenses used to create reports are different to the ones used for viewing reports.
BO has 2 kind of licenses: Concurrent and Named
Named licenses means that you have one licence per user declared in the CMC, This person can connect to the system at anytime.
Concurrent licenses means that only a certain of people are allowed to connect to the system at the same time. So very usefull if you have like 100 users but you know that at peak times, only 10 are connected simultaneously (you need only 10 concurrent license in that case).
But yes, in order to connect to a BOE platform or Crystal server, you need a license (even for just viewing a report).

SAP Crystal Server 2011 - trial

Hi,
I am trying to install a trial version of crystal server 2011 and it gives me the following error:
"application has requested runtime to terminate in an unusual way".
could someone tell me how i could resolve this?
I execute it on Win 7 with administrator rights.
thanks

OK. Thanks for you reply.
But in all system requirements on the web for this tool, we can read :
"Operating systems: Microsoft Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003 SP2"
Why if it is not possible with Win 7 ?
Is there a repository database for this tool like Business Objects ?
Thanks.

Crystal Server 2011

Hi
Our client has purchased Crystal Server 2011 - 5 licences.
Does anyone out there know what this is and how it works? It certainly doesn't seem to give you a Crystal Reports interface. Is it supposed to work with the Crystal Reports standalone version somehow?
They've paid a pretty penny for it, and it seems useless for what they needed it for, which they thought was to allow up to 5 users to use Crystal Reports on 1 server.
Does anyone know if there is any documentation anywhere about it?
Many thanks in advance
Julian

I'd recommend that your client goes back to sales and have them explain what it is they got. Then have the client explain what it is they need. I think there were some wires crossed. But in a nutshell;
You are dealing with two products in this case; Crystal Reports Designer and Crystal Reports Server
Crystal Reports Designer lets you create reports. You can then view them, export them from the same workstation that has the designer installed. One user per workstation.
Crystal Reports Server (CRS) is essentially a "vehicle" for delivering the reports created to in the CR Designer. CRS does not have report design capabilities. You install CRS on a server and a number of users can then hit the server and view the reports. I'm not sure if you got 5 named user licenses, but if so then 5 named users would be able to see the reports. Not design them.
Hope this simplifies things a bit,

Can Crystal Server 2011 run on a Windows 2012, R2 server?

Hey,
I purchased Crystal Server 2011 in April 2013. Unfortunately, due to a heavy workload I'm just now ready to install it in a test environment. Will Crystal Server 2011 run on a Windows 2012, R2 server?

If you update your CR Server to SP 5, then yest, it is supported on WIN 2012.
See the PAM.
To get SP5 you will have to loin to the SAP Market Service Place.

Upgrade from Crystal Enterprise 9 to Crystal Server 2011

As I know, the latest version is Crystal Server 2011 which is a part of the Business Intelligence platform 4.0. Is it correct ?
The manual says that Crystal Enterprise 9 CANNOT upgrade to Crystal Server 2011 directly. It needs 2 steps.
Crystal Enterprise 9 -
> Business Object XI R2 -
> Crystal Server 2011
But I cannot find any trial version of Business Object XI R2. How can I test the upgrade?
Is there other method to upgrade? E.g. transfer the oracle database to the new system?
Regards,
Kelvin

If you are paying maintenance, you should be able to ask for a key for XIR2 version.

Crystal Server 2011, IE 10/11 Compatibility

Hi All,
We currently have Server 2011 installed, and are upgrading to IE 10/11. When users log in to Launch Pad, the top frame is missing, which contains the search box, log off, etc. When they refresh the page, it returns.
Further, when I log into the server itself, and start Launch Pad using localhost instead of the IP, the frame appears as it should.
Is there a setting I'm missing? This only happens in IE 10/11. I can't turn off Compatibility Mode in IE as other applications utilize this.
Crystal Server 2011, SP4
Windows 7
IE 10/11
Thanks in advance.

Hi David,
You should really ask for help in the BI Platform space.
