Problem with subrpt links in crystal reports 8.5 (cr 9 and 2008 installed)

I am trying to add a subreport to an existing CR 8.5 report. I currently have Cr 8.5, cr 9 and cr 2008 on my pc (xp). The subrpt is pointing to a sql 2005 stored procedure that has a parameter (@vvcrCono). When I try to set up the link, the parameter is not listed in the of available parameters to link to. I select a field from the available fields on the main report, hit the > to move it over as a field to link to, and the dropdown that contains the list of parms to link to on the subreport will change to ?pm-(fieldname). I do not see the parm list from the subreport. I am unable to get the link defined. This occurs even when trying to edit an existing subreport.
Is there a problem with running these crystal report versions on the same machine? Or am I just missing something? It has been a while since I've used cr 8.5.

Joanne, thank you for your posted solution and specifically your mention of miniscule scroll bar of the 'subreport parameter field to use' drop down, I had been on several forums but none of them mentioned this, my subreport now accepts the passed parameter and main report works well. Hope your post helps others as it did me, only wish we could include a graphic to illustrate this as I have seen same question posed several times and several different msg boards.

Problems with parameter button in Crystal Report Server 2008

Dear all,
I have problems with parameter button in Crystal Report Server 2008.
when I created some parameters and groups in Crystal Report 2008, they showed both parameters in 'Parameter button' and group in 'Group button' on the left, so I can choose or type without clicking 'Refresh button' But when I added it to Crystal Report Server 2008 and I click parameter button , it doesn't show any parameter. Only click refresh button to choose them. On the other hand, for 'Group Tree' is ok. When go to Default Setting-> Parameter, all parameters are in 'Unused parameter' First time I think I had problems with my installation, but when I reinstalled it again, it was like before.
Could any one help me with this?
I appreciate looking forward to your reply

Problems with concurrency tests using Crystal Reports for VS 2005

Post Author: condeagustin
CA Forum: General Feedback
Hi
My name is Agustin and Im using Crystal Reports for VS 2005
and NET 2.0 to generate pdf files. This is the scenario:
I created a COM+ object in c# and everytime the
COM+ creates an instance of this object, the following flow is executed:
it reads an xml file from a database, then it feeds the report with this
xml file, afterwards it generates a pdf file and finally this pdf file is
inserted into the database. Both fields (xml and pdf fields) are varbinary in the
same table in sql server 2005. All the flow from reading the xml to inserting
the pdf into the database is executed in memory, it never goes to the hard
disk. In other words both the xml and the pdf file are stored in memory (the
RAM). That is the only function of that COM+ object and I already have it in a
production server and it works GREAT!!
The PROBLEM is the concurrency tests. I made the following tests
in the same production server:
1. First I went to the registry and I set the PrintJobLimit to
100 in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARECrystal Decisions10.2Report Application
ServerServer
2. I shut down the object in the COM+ and I executed 100
threads all at the same time. Each thread created one instance of the object in
the COM+ and the 100 pdfs were generated SUCCESFULLY in 5 minutes!!
3. Then I executed again 100 threads (WITHOUT shutting down the
object in the com+). 10 pdfs were generated succesfully but the rest were
never generated and there was no exception because my object was NEVER
INSTANTIADED in the COM+, I mean, the 90 instances were never created in the
COM+, so my object was never executed, THAT IS MY PROBLEM!! Do I have to
modify something in the registry files of crystal reports to fix this? What can
I do? I have revised the code in that object a LOT OF TIMES and believe me,
everything is being closed and disposed at the end (the memory streams, the
ReportClass objects, the connection to the database, even the dataset used to
store the data of the xml file!
So to sum up the problem is not with the execution of my object
(cause once is created the object works great and the pdf is generated
perfectly!), the problem is with the com+ TRYING to create another instance
of my object given that test scenario. Help me please, What do you
suggest?
The production server has this specifications:
Operative System: Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 2
Processor: Dual Core AMD Opteron 2212 2.00GHz
RAM: 820MB
Hard drive: It is partitioned in 2 drives --> C
drive has 20GB and D has 60GB
Note: Each generated pdf has only one page and if you bring it
to disk its maximum size is 56KB
I hope your answer and thank you

Strange problem with publication based on crystal reports, bwquery and DynR

Hi everybody,
I found the following behaviour when executing a publication based on a crystal reports document ontop of a BW query and dynamic receipients. This is what the personalisation looks like:
_____________________Default Value
PARAM1____________ null____________ @param1 based on my dynamic receipient list
PARAM2____________ null____________ @param2 based on my dynamic receipient list
PARAM3____________ 10____________ Default value for all receipients
When executed this happens:
- the publication starts
- the query is executed with the default values for the parameters
- the query is executed for every receipient with the correct, personalised parameter values
I am sure, the the query is executed with non personalised values because a) there is a cache entry on bw site and b) when one of the parameters is filled with an invalid default entry under personalization I get an bapi error.
I am not 100% sure but I think this problem is new since SP3 or a 3.x fixpack. Has anyone faced the the same problem yet? Maybe Ingo knows something about it.
Thank you very much in advance!
Kind regards,
Thorsten

Hi Ingo,
thank you very much for your reply. I am speaking of the default value entered under personalization in the publication in CMC or InfoView.
The report only has parameters based on BEx varialbes.
If needed I can post some screenshots.
Kind regards,
Thorsten

Problems with Query Properties in Crystal Reports

I have with the following features of my queries either problems or theyu2019re just not usable in Crystal Reports:
-     If I want to use more than one hierarchy.
-     If I want to use a selection on a hierarchy.
-     All my hierarchies are always just a flatten list.
-     If I want to use a predefined structure in a field.
-     If I want to use any hierarchy versions .
-     And if I want to use default / preselected values for variables in the prompt.
Are there any solutions or workarounds for these problems known?
I already tried to connect Crystal with the SAP BW via a Universe, via a direct connection and also via the SAP Integration Kit (with the MDX-flag set to active).
Thanks a lot for helping me!

Problem with keydecoder.dll in Crystal Reports 2008 Trial Version

Hello,
My company is interested in purchasing Crystal Reports 2008 and has asked me to download and try the trial version. However, I have been running into a keydecoder.dll problem. Setup was smooth and here are the details:
Problem message:
"Crystal Reports: Application Error Couldn't load keydecoder.dll"
I have Windows Vista and I have already configured all permissions and administrative rights to the problem to full control. I have also attempted to drag the keydecoder.dll application extension out of win32_x86 to the file folder crystal reports 2008. I have also already attempted to reinstall and making a new program file location named 'Crystal Reports 2008'.
I'm running out of ideas and would appreciate some help. Thank you

Symptom
When attempting to start Crystal Reports XI, the following error message appears:
"Crystal Reports: Application Error - Couldn't load the keydecoder.dll".
Cause :
The error message occurs because the CommonFiles entry has the wrong path in the registry.
Resolution :
CAUTION The following resolution involves editing the registry. Using the Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall the Microsoft Windows operating system. Use the Registry Editor at your own risk. It is strongly recommended that you make a backup copy of the registry files before you edit the registry. For information on how to edit the registry key, view the 'Changing Keys And Values' online Help topic in the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
To resolve the error message
Click Start > Run. The Run dialog box appears.
Type "regedit" in the Open: text field. Click OK. The Registry Editor appears.
Navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCLAL_MACHINESOFTWAREBusiness ObjectsSuite 11.5Crystal Reports.
Double-click the CommonFiles string. The Edit String dialog box appears.
Ensure that the path points to the location of <installation directory>Common3.5 in.
For example, the default location is the following: C:Program FilesBusiness ObjectsCommon3.5 in.
Edit the path as necessary.
Click OK. Close the Registry Editor.
Crystal Reports starts successfully.
Hope that helps!!

Problem with vertical text in crystal report viewer

Hi,

Please help on this.

Hi Vijay,
I found out another method of retaining all the chart formatting that is done in the preview pane.
Once you have done all the changes then you will find interestingly there is a chart menu option that appears in the tool bar. Once you click on it there is an option "Apply Changes to All Charts".
Select that option, close your preview. Open it once again and you will find that all the settings are still there and the Web Viewer is able to display them properly.
I think that I resolved this.

Problem with 'B1 Tables' in Crystal Report

Hello all,
In Crystal reports, when selecting database for My reports I cannot use the entry 'B1 Tables', the one that displays using the hierarchy sorted like the Business One menu. When I try to expend it, Crystal reports stops working and creates the following event message:
Faulting application crw32.exe, version 12.1.3.1028, time stamp 0x4991a897, faulting module crdb_b1.dll, version 8.80.228.0, time stamp 0x4bb3a8fe, exception code 0xc0000409, fault offset 0x000023e9, process id 0x16a8, application start time 0x01caec1ad0067bc8.
I am using Business one 8.8 PL09 and Crystal reports Basic 2008 for Business One (version 12.1.3.1028) and the fixpack_03
The only other option is to select tables directly from the dbo.Tables which gets the long list
Thanks for your ideas
Marc

Hi,
I have the same problem : once I have created an SAP Business One connection in Database Expert, I cannot display the list of tables, and it throws me a failure application error (crw32.exe) and close CR.
Did you find a solution to this problem ?
I'm using CR 2008 SP3 (trial version), Business One 8.8, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and Windws XP Pro SP3.

Have you downloaded & followed the SAP Crystal documentation for 8.8? There are a number of changes in how we need to do things.
Also, optional parameters do not work & neither to default values in parameters. These are still to be fixed

Problem with bar graphs in Crystal Report

Hi All,
I am currently working on bar graphs and i am facing problem displaying trend in the graph when there is no data for any particular date.
My X-axis has date and y-axis has data.
I want to display all the dates on x-Axis which is selected by the user.
E.g. User has selected fromDate and ToDate as 1st Aug to 10th Aug and I have Data as follows
08/01/2008 abc
08/03/2008 xyz
08/05/2008 klm
Currently my graph just shows data for 1st,3rd and 5th of August.
I want my Graph to show all the dates from 1stAug to 10thAug on x-axis and it should not only show data where it is but also a blank where data is not present
Please help. Thank you.

Hi Tenzin
Following are the steps from where you can change the division of the axes:
Right click on the report.
Go to 'Chart Expert' -> 'Axes' tab.
Select the Manual option under 'Number of divisions'.
Change the settings so that you can get each date on the axis.
Hope this helps you.
Please let us know if you have any further queries.

After Effects won't close/Problems with dynamic links

When I quit After Effects the icon still shows up and it says that it is still open, even force quit will not work. Also having problems with dynamically linked files between after effects and Premiere pro. Rendering in Premiere doesn't work unless I go to AE, save the project, then go back to Premiere. I have OSX Mavericks 10.9.2, a late 2012 mac pro, and AE CC 12.2.1.5

Kevin: would appreciate further thoughts on this.
I am using Pr2014, version 8.0.0 I am using AE2014, version 13.0.2.3. When I was on earlier versions of each, I had no problem importing AE comps into Pr. I'd choose import in Pr, then select the AE project, then select the comp. But with my new and improved versions of AE and Pr, I keep getting "importer reported a generic error."
I also tried to go the other way. I selected in Pr the clips I wanted to work on in AE, and then tried "replace with AE comp" but got the "generic error" message again..
Finally, I attempted to create a Dynamic Link from Pr via the File menu, but with each of the options from there, I got "failed to connect to AE Dynamic Link"
Any advice you can share, would be most welcome.

Problem with PDF extract in a report

Hi guys,
We are facing a peculiar problem with PDF extract in a report. When we run a report and export PDF , all the records in the result set are populated in the PDF. however, if I navigate away from the report and return back to the same report, and click on export pdf (with the result set already populated) i get a blank PDF document without any records. If i run the report again and then export the PDF it works fine.
Export excel works fine for all cases.
I am assuming it has got something to do with the way the system handles the cache for PDF export.
I also found that this occurs only when we have a value list filter with "none" set as default,and in this case, initially on opening the report for the first time the query does not get executed automatically.
Any help on this would be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
immanuel

Hi Immanuel,
Have you tried clearing the cache? My guess is, it is probably a defect.

Vikram

Problems with Dinamic Link between Premiere pro CC and After Effects CC

I'm having serious problems with dinamic link between premiere pro and after effects, really serious problems that have 2 big projects in trouble (a documentary and a video clip) and I had to redo all the work pipeline to the consumer.
The documentary for a spanish TV was made on CC 2014 and a video clip was made on CC. Both of them with a lot of after effects composition in the premiere pro timeline. Render freeze, a lot of playback issues, and many more problems... Until I decided to remove these links between premiere and after effects and render out all the after effects compositions one by one and insert as clips in premiere pro. 1 week working away with back and fourth.
I've got a huge workstation:
i7 4990
32Gb ram
GTX780 3gb
256 gb system ssd
2 Tb project storage
*All my hardware and software are update.
I know that a lot of folks are on the same huge problem and I want to ask everyone:
How do you save this?
What is your pipeline?
Are there any solution?
Best practice to use dinamic link in a huge project?
Thanks,
Ruben Gimenez.

Thank You, Jim -
Unfortunately that specifically did not work.
Based on another comment sent to me, here is what did.
In PProCC
File > Adobe Dynamic Link > New After Effects Composition
In AECC
From that composition created from PPro, I imported the project (aep) initially created in AECC from another team member. Saved the file.
Back in PProCC
File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Import After Effects Composition
Magic.
