Error from the seagate Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer

Hi guys,
I get the following message when I running a report application based on Web. The Message is as following:
The Error Message was Error detected by database DLL from Seagate Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer
Internet Explorer has encountered a problem wiht an add-on and needs to close.
the following add-on is running when this problem occured
Add-on Name: CRview.dll
Company Name: Crystal Decision, Inc
Description: Crystal Viewer for ActiveX
I think the crystal is old version , the IE is version 7
Thank you very much
Clara

OK, an upgrade of Oracle causes Crystal Reports to throw "Error detected by database DLL". It may very well be that version 8 report will not be able to run that version of Oracle. E.g.; version 8 of CR will not run Oracle 10 g for sure...
Something to look at; can you run the report in the CR 8 designer when connecting to that updated version of Oracle?
You'll have to locate the platforms.txt file for CR 8 and see what version of Oracle it supported. I do not have a link or even an idea of where that may be as CR 8 has been out of support for soooo long.

Seagate Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer error '80043ac4'

Website slows down when users are running reports. Users start getting errors when running any crystal report. After sometime main page itself stops loading and only static html is visible. Following is one of the errors users see:
Seagate Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer error '80043ac4'
Invalid directory.
/opera_mort2/report/AlwaysRequiredSteps.asp, line 54
Other errors seen on reporting site at that time are
Active Server pages error 'ASP 0115'
Unexpected error
/opera_mort2/report/rpt_level.asp
A trappable error (C00000005) occurred in an external object. The script cannot continue running.
authentication and network errors.
Rebooting the Web Server temporarily fixes the issue however the error recurs again after a day or two. We are seeing this problem in both our PROD and DR server. There was no change done to either of these boxes recently.
Also at this pint IIS was crashing. Microsoft Support analyzed the crash dumps created from IIS and came up with the following:
"All the memory dumps captured showed the same DLL that was accessing corrupted memory. This same DLL would also be the one that had originally written to those addresses. The DLL was craxdrt.dll from Crystal Reports 8.0 ActiveX Designer, which was version 8.0.1.0 from 1/28/2000. This DLL should be updated to see if this issue has already been fixed. Other options are to recycle IIS more frequently and move to a new version of Crystal Reports."
Here is a detailed analysis from Microsoft Support:
The issue appears to be heap corruption. Normally these are difficult to troubleshoot, however, in this case every memory dump that I looked at had the same component involved.

Comments: Crystal Reports for Visual Basic
This component is from the year 2000 and needs to be updated. I searched our old cases and found several where old version of this component caused the same heap corruption.
Please help as this is a production issue. Please let me know if you need any more information.
thanks and regards

Something must have changed. Were any patches or auto updates done to the OS?
CR 8.0 has been out of the support cycle for some time now.
As Microsoft suggested please log in and download the patches for CR 8.0 from:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/businessobjects-support
If that does not resolve the issue the only option will be to schedule sn IIS restart each night.

Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer Design and Runtime Library 11.5

Hai to all,
            I'm new in crystal report 11.5, my task is desig time i just create a blank report during runtime programaticaly create Fieldobject,Blob object and so on, i came to know this is the right (Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer Design and Runtime Library 11.5) dll but, i dont know how to write the code. Experts please post simple code, i tried this site https://boc.sdn.sap.com/codesamples but there is no code related my task, experts please help me.
Softwares am using:
Visual studio 2005, asp.net 2.0, SQL server 2005 and crystal report 11.5

Hello,
You are using the wrong SDK in this case. You cannot use ADO.NET (crdb_adoplus.dll) with the RDC. It would not recognise it. RDC only supports classic ADO (crdb_oledb.dll). Report Creation APi and the RDC was designed for Visual Basic 6.0.
To do what you are trying to do you would have to use the Report Application Server (RAS) in .NET to create your reports.
I recommend starting by creating a simple application with the report created in the Crystal Report designer using ADO.NET(XML) driver and Visual Studio .NET code to pass the dataset at runtime so you are familiar with the code and properties before trying to create the full report in code with RAS.
You will find more information and samples in the Developer's Library:
http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/devsuite.htm
The samples are at:
http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/en/CrystalReports_dotNET_SDK/sampleList.htm
Look for "VB_Web_Data_DataSets".
If you create a dataset you want in Visual Studio .NET, you can write it to XML or and XML Schema and use that to create the report.
        'From a dataset, create an XML file to use creating a new report
        'using the full path to the .xml file, include the schema
        dataSet.WriteXml("C:\Temp\myReportData.xml", XmlWriteMode.WriteSchema)
        'Or create a schema to use building a report
        dataSet.WriteXmlSchema("C:\Temp\myReportData.xsd")
Once you have the report format the way you want it, you can use the Report Application Server Samples from the Developer's Help to give you direction in building your report at runtime:

Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer Failed to open document

Yesterday I created a report in Visual Studio 2008 with about 20 subreports, each subreport containing a single aggregate query (i.e count or sum). I then saved the report file. Hours later when I attempted to reopen the report in Visual Studio I recived the message box "Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer Failed to open document". The report file was completely unusable - it could not be opened for editting.
Today I repeated the process twice (once ith multiple subreports and once with all aggregate queries combined in a single subreport), only to have the new report files become unusable with the same error message. I am completely shocked at this behaviour from Crystal Reports. I have now spent 10+ hours with no usable report. I realy need a fix for this ASAP!!! Any suggestions would be greatlhy appreciated.

Hi Jeff,
Just wanted to confirm you were on SP1.
I've found that these types of error are usually due to corrupt system files or sometimes even Anti-virus software denying access. If there is no error it's not CR corrupting the file.
Look in your AV logs to see if it's logging anything.
Another possibility is with MS pushing out patches they can also cause problems. I've see them change permissions on our dependencies that can cause problems.
Sorry I can't be specific but without seeing your report or any details you'll have to determine at which step in the report it stops working.
Can you save any reports now?
Steps to debug, create a new report with no subreports and save it. Then re-open, if that works then start adding one subreport and then save/open. It may be something related to either the subreports or the number of subreports.
You could try doing a repair install of VS and SP1.
Was this working at one time or is this something new, do you have other reports that are similar that have problems?
You need to debug the report and find out what is causing it to be corrupted. Try adding the 20th subreport and then delete it also.

Failed to retrieve data from the database crystal reports 2008 in SAP B1

Hello friends,
I am using Crystal report 2008 with SAP B1 PL 8.8. When I run any report, it runs correctly from Crystal Report. But whenever I try to open the same report through SAP ( Tools -> Preview External Crystal Report ), it prompts the parameters for that report and then open up the crystal report window and throws an Error message ("failed to retrieve data from the database. Details [Database Vendor Code: 156]").
Please any one suggest me the corrective solution.
Thanks in Advance,
Keyur Raval.

I had the same problem in SAP B1 2007. Report worked fine except when it was open from B1. Generally there may be different problems. In my case the same problem was caused by using some procedure which was in a specific schema. Changing the schema into "dbo" solved the problem.

Crystal Reports ActiveX Design and RT Library

I have developed an application using eDeveloper and the CRACDDRT.DLL using COM Interface.
Hos can I distribute the dll to a customer computer so that when I run my program it will find the registered COM Object

Hello, Motty;
What program and version are you using to create your application?
What version of Crystal Reports Developer are you using?
What references do you have for Crystal Reports in your application? CRAXDRT.dll or CRAXDDRT.dll and the CRViewer.dll?
Does the application run as you expect on your Development system?
Once I am more certain of what you are using, I can direct you to the correct deployent information.

Seagate Crystal Reports: Database Error

I am using Crystal reports Version 8 and frequently get the error 'Seagate Crystal Reports: Database Error' when I try to open a previously working crystal report file. The error occurs when I click on the Database menu. Every time I get this error I end up redesigning the report as the I have not yet found a solution and I cant run the report.
The error is a message box with the title 'Seagate Crystal Reports: Database Error' and an ok button - nothing else.
Its very frustrating!
Please help.
Thanks.

Hi,
What database are you using and how are you connecting to it?
What are you clicking in the Database menu: Set Location, Verify Database, Show SQL Query?
Before opening the report, can you connect to the database first then open the report?
I would have expected an error code or a more descriptive error to follow.
Thanks,
Brian

Error loading in DLL (Crystal reports 2008 version 12.3)

we have installed the software but While adding the reference in VB,and while selecting the (Crystal Report ActiveX Viewer 12.0) we can't add as a reference it is showing (error in loading DLL) so please request you to check this error which is attached and revert on this As early as possible.

Thread moved to the NET - SAP Crystal Reports forum.
For timely response, it is important to make sure you post to the correct forum (check the header of each forum).
From your description, I suspect that you are trying to use the COM based Report Designer Component(?). This component has been retired in CR XI R2. The activeX viewer you are trying to access is only included for internal purposes and you are not licensed to use it at all. In CR 2008, you will have to use the CR SDK for Visual Studio .NET.

Error after migration to Crystal Reports 12 for existing reports

Hi,
We had reports written using Crystal Reports Version 8.5. These reports were not modified for a long time. Recently, we had migrated to Crystal Reports 12 (2008). Some of the these existing reports were modified using the Crystal Reports 2008 designer. After installing our application (we ship Merge Module of Crystal Reports 12 i.e. 2008 which gets installed in GAC)
1) If we create new reports in 2008 designer and try to view these reports, it works as expected without any issue(s).
2 ) However, if these modified reports are tried to be viewed, there is an error which states "Database Logon Failed".
Details:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.LogOnException     {"Database logon failed."}
ErrorID     CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.EngineExceptionErrorID.LogOnFailed
InnerException     {"Database logon failed."}
Message      "Database logon failed."
Source     "CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataSetConversion"
Stack Trace        at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ConvertDotNetToErom.ThrowDotNetException(Exception e)
   at CrystalDecisions.ReportSource.EromReportSourceBase.ExportToStream(ExportRequestContext reqContext)
   at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.FormatEngine.ExportToStream(ExportRequestContext reqContext)

   at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType formatType, String fileName)
TargetSite     {Boolean ThrowDotNetException(System.Exception)}
Also, it is worth to note that if we try to view these modified reports from any environment which has both Crystal Reports 10 and Crystal Reports 12 in GAC, then these reports work as expected.
P.S. We have mechanism in application's code to reset the database connections when any report is being viewed using ReportDocument class' method.
From the above scenario I believe issue is specific to migration to Crystal Reports 12 (2008). Any help /workaround to solve this problem will be highly appreciated.

Make sure you have the latest SP for CR 2008 installed;
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009038092009E/cr2008win_sp2.exe
Ensure you are deploying SP 2 runtime;
MSM
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009159092009E/cr2008sp2_mm.zip
MSI
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009159002009E/cr2008sp2_redistinstall.zip
If that does not help;
1) Do these reports work in the designer?
2) What database are you using and what is the connection type?
3) Compare the dlls loading on the systems where this app works (environment which has both Crystal Reports 10 and Crystal Reports 12 in GAC) and a system that is giving you the error. Use the [Modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip] utility.
4) Open the reports in the designer and look at the properties in the Database menu -> Set Datasource Location. Check to see if there are any differences between the two reports.
5) If there is a subreport in the report that causes the issue, remove it and see if the report works without the subreport.

Error In ECC For Crystal Report Containing Sub-Report Link

Hi,
We are using Crystal Reports 2013. We extracted a Crystal Report from SAP ECC to modify it further utilizing the features of Crystal and export it back to SAP ECC.
The updated Crystal Report has a Sub-Report link within it, while exporting it back to SAP ECC, we get the attached error message as "layout.subreport should not contain any data connections".
However, on removing the Sub-Report link, the report can be successfully exported back to ECC and executes without any issues.
Is there any limitation on features to be used when exporting Crystal Reports to ECC?
Thanks & Regards,
Mitalee

Crystal Report Activex Viewer Control

 Our users are prompted to download: Crystal Report Activex Viewer Control -- when trying to view reports. Since they do not have Admin rights on their PC, they are unable to install this Activex Control. Is there a setup file available someplace that can deployed to the user's pc that would intsall the activex control?Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,Anupam

bq.
Manual installation
To manually install the ActiveX Viewer on the client computer:
1. Copy the ActiveXViewer.cab file from the server to the client computer, and extract its contents to a temporary folder.
2. Move the files Crviewer.dll, Crviewer9.dll, Sviewhlp.dll, and Swebrs.dll to the System32 folder. Keep this folder visible.
3. On the Start menu, click Run. The Run dialog box appears.
4. In the Open box, type âu20ACu0153regsvr32âu20AC and then drag and drop the Crviewer.dll file icon from the System32 folder onto the Run dialog box.
5. Click OK.
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the files Crviewer9.dll, Sviewhlp.dll, and Swebrs.dll.
But I haven't tried it myself yet. I have so much crystal stuff on my PC. I'm going to set up a virtual PC that has never had crystal and see if it works.

Hide an error from the application using a servererror trigger?

We have an application designed for an old oracle version which issues some sql which is no more supported in todays database version.
We want to use the application unchanged with a new database server.
Old Server Version: 7.3.4 (still in production...)
New Server Version: 10.2 or 11.2
The application issues an
ALTER SESSION SET OPTIMIZER_GOAL = FIRST_ROWS ;
which results in ORA-01986 and the application dies.
We would like to hide the error 01986 from the application using a trigger:
create or replace
trigger catch01986
after servererror
on schema
begin
    if (ora_is_servererror (1986)) then
      null; -- what to do here? we want clear the ora-01986 from the error stack
    end if;
end catch01986;How to handle the error, so that the alter session set ... statement is just ignored and no error code is returned to the application?
I asked already some days ago in Database-General Forum, but triggers belong to PL/SQL, so i repost here.
Tnx for help in advance!

hoek wrote:You already had some trigger code, catching the error and sending it to null, why didn't that work?The trigger is fired when the error occurs, but after completion of the trigger, the error code is still delivered to the client.
I dont know how to handle the error within the trigger.
Does the client read the error stack and does it die after reading an error from the stack?The client just checks the error code. On error it terminates.

VS2010 will support Seagate crystal report 6.0?

Hi All,
This is to inform you that we are currently using the VC++ 6.0 and Seagate Crystal Reports 6.0 in our application and we are successfully upgraded vc++ 6.0 to VS 2010.
but We tried Seagate Crystal report 6.0 to lastest version ,but rewrite application in our side , so we won't possible to rewrite application.
My question is, VS2010 will support Seagate crystal report 6.0?
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Esha,
VS supports Managed Code now, using unmanaged C++ code may or may not work. As we've all told you, CR 6 is 12 years old now and it had no concept of Visual Studio 2010 or managed C+. It's still c+ so if you get it working then great, if not there is absolutely nothing we can do for you. There should be no reason it won't work as long as the C++ dependencies included with VS 2010 still supports 1997 VS 5/6 C++ runtime. If those dependencies are not available then Cr likely won't work.
For the last time, upgrade to CR for VS 2010 and move to CR Assemblies, you can still write and use CR in Managed C+, lots of people do, we don't have any samples for you though. Lot's of C# samples which is MS's replacement for unmanaged C+.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsSDKSampleApplications
Bottom line is we can't Confirm if it will work, you are mixing 1998 and 2011 technologies so there is absolutely no guarantee from SAP this will ever work and you will never get one from SAP. You are on your own....
There are so many reasons why it likely won't work to list, OS's, DB clients, Windows Dependencies, SECURITY, to name a few that even if it did work does your Company want to sell and support something that if your users have issues there is no way of ever getting it fixed?
Seriously, It's time to talk to your Product team and catch up with current technologies and Crystal Reports.
