How to run crystal report in business objects xi 3.1 sp3 enterprise

hi, i created crystal reports thru crystal reports 2008, i have the crystal reports locally on my machine. the source for the crystal report is stored procedure to get the data from database
the main thing is i need to import these reports into business objects xi 3.1 and i need to run the report in business objects. the bo server is on solaris and the reports i have r in my local machine (i.e windows).
i am using this way to import the report into bo server.
In Crystal Reports: File>Save As>My Connections (Define your BO Server) and save the reports to your BO Server.
but the main thing is i cannot run the crystal report in cmc. what am i doing wrong, do i need to set any database configuration in business objects ?

Normally you should run your CR reports in the INfoView. You can start a report either by double clicking on it or by selecting View in the context menu. Still in order to fetch data you have to press the Refresh button in the CR viewer window (in the InfoView).
In the CMC I assume that you are using the Run now option in the context menu. Please note that this will just schedule your report immediatelly. hen the report is scheduled a new instance is created hich is available in the History of the report. In order to see a report in the CMC select again View in the context menu and you can again fetch data by pressing the Refresh button.

Crystal Reports to Business Objects

Hi Gurus,
Please help me out with your valuable suggestions. Here is my scenario,
Very recently my client implemented Business Objects for their Corporate reporting in place of Crystal Enterprise.
There are about 400+ reports that to be converted in Business Objects. In the phase 1 we planned to convert the High priory reports of about 80 + reports.
Our game plan is to convert CR to Universes and then after using Universes >>>webi reports. Please suggest me whether we are going in the right path.
After analyzing the reports I found like we are using about 65-80 tables over all. Please suggest me, Can I create a single Universe and point the 70 reports to that single Universe or do I need to create a single universe for single crystal report.
Moreover, we are upgrading my back end too. But in future some of the tables, fields may exist or not. As the Back-end is also in the initial phases. So please suggest how to convert the CR to Universe with back-end modification.
As having discussion with client. User have no experience in creating any sort of reporting, All they need is exact the same report in Business Objects.
Please post me your valuable suggestion.

Hello,
Here a are few tips:
- How many different data sources are used?
A Business Objects universe can only point at one data source (there are some workarounds for this). Therefore it's quite important to know how many different data sources are involved.
- Complexity of reports
When developing complex reports in webi you'll find that you can't always meet the requirements by using standard webi functionality.
In that case you will have to move some of the more complex calculations to the universe. Therefore it's not uncommon for a very complex report to have one universe but in most case a universe will serve multiple webi reports.
- Ad-hoc reporting.
From reading your post I donu2019t think this is very relevant to you but I mention it anyway.
If users want to use the universe for ad-hoc reporting, always make sure that you give proper business descriptions to the dimension and measure objects.
Also, it's important that you don't try to stuff everything into one universe as this will confuse the business users. Try to divide the universes into the logical business areas i.e. finance, HR, Purchasing etc.
- Training / Involve the Business
Have you considered training a few web intelligence super users that can help converting some webi reports?
If you involve the Business users at an early stage of the project, the reaction to the change of reporting system will be a lot more positive.
- Make the reports more intuitive
Instead of simply re-developing all the reports in exactly the same way as they were developed in Crystal look for ways to enhance the usability.
Business Objects has many great features that could help with this i.e. input controls, data tracking, profiles, dynamic recipients etc).
Also, you will find a lot of duplication i.e. multiple version of the same report with different prompts. You should possibly try to consolidate those reports.
Best regards
Rim Geurts
EDIT: Like Fritz mentioned, you probably don't need to migrate all of the reports because you can simply migrate you Crytsal report to te new BO environment

Converting Crystal Report to Business Objects

I am looking at a requirement to convert some Crystal Reprts to Business objects. Perhaps one who has done this can advise some of the issues here. What is straightforward and not, how to go about, how do you convet formulas,. etc

Which Business Objects product are you looking to convert to? WEBi, DESKi, other?
If so there are no conversion utilities, reports would have to be rewritten. If the Crystal Reports were based off of a Universe then the same Universe could be used but a new webi or deki report written from scratch.

Integrate Crystal Reports to Business Objects

We are trying to introduce Crystal Reports into our current BOE environment and are trying to keep the 'custom password synchronization code' authentication method we have in place for Business Objects with Crystal. If at all possible. We have a custom connection and am not sure what the default connection between the two. It could be LDAP or anything but how do we configure Crystal to integrate with Business Objects using our custom connection method?

Log into CMC, browse to report object, open object, click on Process tab, click on database link, now edit to desired login info.

Crystal Report Server / Business objects XI R2 questions

Hello all,
If this isn't the place to post these questions please advise which forum is. Thank you in advance.
We are running XI R2 SP5 of Crystal Report server (11.5.11.1470). I have some general questions...and are fairly new to this version. Although I have been developing CR for many years.
There is plenty of discussions here about "Universes" in BO, but for my deployment I don't think this applies. Correct?
I have created list of values (LOV) using Business View Manager (11.5.11.1470) and would like to
1. give the user an ability to select an "ALL" option in the report.
2. If the LOV is large, it only returns a partial list.
Now i have search these forums and other and found discussions regarding the above but none seemed to relate to my version. Either I'm missing some component or just slow.
Any advice / help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Suresh
Thank you for the detailed response. I tried your suggestions and neither works.
LOV issue:
Within the Business View manager, i right-click on the LOV object and click "Edit List of Values..." and i get a dialog box that only shows me Available fields, List of Value Fields used, description field, and Referenced objects. Along with buttons for Clear Instance & Refersh Status.
I have read similar posts to what you suggested but never get to the same place as described.
Please advise....
as for _Max Number LOV _
I have researched this as well and found the same suggestion you made. But the PRM file does not have that value, and the file contains all XML code
Now what???
Thanks
Mike

How to use Java SDK to schedule a report in business objects

hi guys i am having a scenario , were the Java SDK will be passing the parameters dynamically to the report in business objects . the Java SDK is kicked by the file based events. this Java SDK will be on the unix server and the business object is also on the unix server. I am having the crystal reports in boe which need to be triggered by the Java SDK . such that the report is scheduled to a particular location on the unix for every week,when the java passes the parameters to the report in boe
Edited by: americansalt on Nov 4, 2010 11:30 AM

You can do this by using the BOE SDK. Here are some samples:

Crystal Report LDAP authentication with SSL to Business Objects XI 3.1 SP3

Hi,
Here is the issue
Business Objects XI 3.1 SP3
Crystal report 2008
LDAP is configured with SSL and working great within BO.
In Crystal report 2008, enterprise authentication worked, but not LDAP with SSL, I got "Security plugin error: Failed to set parameters on plugin.
If I try with LDAP with no SSL, everythingu2019s fine. Do I have to setup something on the "workstation" side to be able to user LDAP with SSL ?
*I already tried to disable firewall
Thanks for your help

Hi,

When deleting running crystal report from BOE CMC, it leaves Oracle thread?

hi, Yesterday, we discovered an anomaly. From BOE's CMC, I deleted a running Crystal Report instance. I believed that this would "cancel" the running report. However, later, it produced a message. It apparently kept on running in Oracle until it finished.
My question: when I delete a job from BOE's CMC, what else must we do to cancel it from continuing in Oracle? Apparently, it continued to be a "thread" in Oracle.
What additional steps should I take or are there any setup steps? Thank you.
Our BOE version (copied from the CMC about screen) is: Product: 12.1.0 © 2008 Business Objects (or Product Version: 12.2.0.290).
Thank you,
Dean

I'd just been trying instructions in SAP note: 1407795 when this reply came through.... I can confirm this worked for me.
The error codes I found in the Windows Event viewer, both yesterday and today are listen below:
RCIRAS0240
RCIRAS0622
RCIRAS0567
RCIRAS0244
The issues that are described in this post and the ones I have seen first-hand when the screen hangs when viewing this report on-demand, or the report running for a longer than expected time when scheduled, are covered by the above error codes.
A known cause of the issues you are experiencing is that when these particular reports were created, a network printer was specified as the default printer, this printer may now either be unavailable, IP address may have changed, etc.
There do seem to be two options available:
Option 1 - Remove the printer driver dependency
Open this report in the Crystal Reports Designer.
Under the File menu, click on Page Setup.
Select the No Printer option.
Option 2 - Add or correct the printer that the report is designed with
Open the Report in the Crystal Reports Designer
Under the File menu, click on Page Setup
Make not of the printer that is listed in the Page Setup dialog
Log on to the BusinessObjects Enterprise Server that houses the Crystal Reports Processing Servers.
Make sure you log in as the user account that runs the Crystal Reports services. This is generally the account that runs the Service Intelligence Agent (SIA)
Go to Control Panel and click on Printers
Ensure that the same printer is configured on the server that is used in the Crystal Report
In the printer already exists, try removing it and re-adding it.

Running Crystal Report through web service

We are trying to build a solution using Java, which will give access of Crystal reports to users. We are trying to access using the Web Services provided by BO XI server.
I need help with couple of issues I'm facing with the consumer API -
1. When a search is performed and reports/documents are found, how to get the path (parent folder(s)) of that document?
2. How to run a report? I've tried schedule (method of BIPlatform) with 'RightNow' property (of SchedulingInfo object) to true, but it throws exception 'Pause and Resume isnt allowed'. But through CMC I can run the report on demand.

Just to give more info on what I'm doing in my code -
I'm searching for a report with it's name. Search is performed by BICatalog web service's search operation. It returns an array of BICatalogObject. Now I'm unable to find a method to get the path info of these objects. I see there's a class named PathFolder in API javadoc, but cant find a method of BICatalogObject that can return such objects.
Can anyone help me out with this?

Unable to run Crystal Report due to error code called "database code:102

I have created a View on the SQL server and Now I am trying to run crystal report using that view. However, I get Database Vendor Code error message 102. Need your help, How can I ran a report using SQL veiws in Crystal?
thanks!
Mansoor

Hi,
The report is getting an error code 102 from the database driver.Try with searching the RDBMs type for error code 102, to narrow down the issue.
If data from database is failed to retrieve then,there are several causes of this error like disconnected tables, tables that are not connected properly.
Run your query in SQLcon32 and check that getting accurate output or not.

How to configure Crystal Reports 2008 and IIS7 and Windows Server 2008?

I have downloaded and installed the trial for Crystal Reports 2008 on our Windows 2008 server. I can open Crystal Reports on the server just fine, but I get HTTP 500 errors when I attempt to view a report hosted on that server via the web.
As far as I can tell, the handler mappings in IIS7 are not configured properly, although I confirmed that the Crystal Reports 2008 install did add several handlers. I read that I must configure the application pool to enable 32-bit applications. I did that and am still getting the same error. Documentation seems sparse and I've spent the better part of the day searching the forum here with no luck. What am I missing?

Don,
Thank you for the quick response!
We will ultimately be using ASPX/C#, but this simple case has a very basic report with no databind, just a single text label that reads "test succeeded" and I'm attempting to access it by direct URL (i.e. "http://192.168.99.21/crystalreportviewers12/test.rpt"). This works on our Windows 2000 server running Crystal Reports 8.
I've also tested with a simple test.aspx file with only the line "Response.Write(System.DateTime.Now.ToString())" and that works just fine. This file is in the same folder as the test.rpt file.
If I leave the Application Pool set for the "Integrated" managed pipeline mode, I continue to get a rather generic "500 - Internal server error". If I switch it to "Classic", I get the following error:
Failed to Execute URL.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
