Problem with the crystal reports XI

Portuguese
Boa Tarde, tenho um problema com o cristal reports XI.
ele esta em producao fazendo a consulta em um servidor mas quando eu acesso passando parametro connectionInfo.ServerName = <endereco do servidor> para um servidor de teste pelo VStudio 2005, ele nao busca os dados deste e continua acessando o servidor de producao.
gostaria de saber como consertar isso

Good afternoon, I have a problem with the crystal reports XI. him this in production making the consultation in a servant but when I access passing parameter connectionInfo.ServerName = I address of the servant > for a test servant for VStudio 2005, he doesn't look for the data of this and it continues accessing the production servant.

Fabiano, here is what I understand of the issue:
1) You are using CR XI (I am not sure if release 1 or release 2)
2) you are using .NET 2005
3) you are trying to change the server name, but the report keeps giving you data from the original server
Please answer the following:
1) Are you using CR XI release 1 or release 2?
2) Can you change to the new server, using the Crystal Reports Designer?
3) Can you duplicate the issue on your development computer?
4) What Crystal Reports service pack are you on?
5) Are you connecting to the database using OLE DB?

CRVS2010 Beta - Problems with printing Crystal Reports for VS 2010

Good afternoon,
We have the following problem, we used the version of Crystal Reports that came integrated with visual studio for several years. But we are migrating to the version of Visual Studio 2010, and we are using the version of Crystal Reports for this same version, running on screen is correct, and run all the reports, but in print there is a failure we could not solve. Our customers use printers dot matrix as the "Epson LX300 +", but when you print the report leaves the impression defective in the previous version of Visual Studio 2005 "The impression is quite clear, we have attempted to overcome this problem with the options of PrintMode with activex and pdf in the CrystalReportViewer, and RenderingDPI option with multiple values. Obviously when using other types of printers such as laser or inkjet printing is perfect, but due to cost our customers use the printers mentioned. The server where the application is Windows server 2008 and client computers are windows xp, windows 7, windows vista. As network hardware and printers are working properly, and from other applications and from the other server with versions of Crystal Reports If anyone knows how to solve this problem I would like to receive support and ideas.
Thanks

I have a question about printing reports. We are using VS2008 and the CR reportviewer with printmode = ActiveX. Many of our users absolutely hate the number of steps they must go through and the time it takes to print a Crystal Report when printmode = PDF. In our environment several times per day, we need to produce hard copies of reports for legal reasons. Making the users first render the report, then had it off to Adobe to print simply takes too much time which is why we are using the ActiveX print control.
We recently started looking at VS2010 and discovered the issue with the unbundling of Crystal Reports. We have not downloaded CR for VS2010 yet.
My question is this: for VS2010, what happened to the ActiveX print control? I read somewhere that it was going to become some WPF-type thing but there weren't many details about that. So when a user clicks on the print button in the Crystal Report Viewer intended for VS2010, what can they expect? Can they still print straight to a printer (is there something that gives them this capabitliy like the Active X print control did?), or has that capability been deprecated and they have to go through PDF? Thanks in advance for any information you can give me.

Problem with the crystal viewer

Hi there,
I have a problem with thw crystal viewer. I have reports developped in Crystal XI that run in vb.net within the "CrystalDecision.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer" object. On all computer client everything works fin except on one of them. When the print button is pressed, it gave a "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error. Since this error is raised by the "Crystal report windows form viewer" preview window i have no idea why this occured. We tried to uninstall the viewer and reinstall it without chance.
The only thing i can tell is that this client use a "HP deskjet 3420 series" printer. that's the only difference there is on this computer. Anyone as an idea?
Thanks
Ben

Hi Ben,
Try moving that printer to another PC and install the print driver. If it fails there it's likely a driver issue. HP and Cr has a history of problems. Mostly it's HP drivers returning the wrong memory structure size.
If you can find someone who is using Windows XP and Windows 2003 and see if either work. Or possibly plug the printer ina print server and see if that works.
Next option is if you wrote the software you are running run it in debug mode and see if it captures anything when printing. If did not write it then ask the person who did to test it also.
Next option if you want to dig deeper into the cause is go to Windows site and download a program called DebugDiag. Run this program and set it to capture crashes. It will generate a dump file which can be analyzed. It should tell you which API or function caused the crash.
Thank you
Don

Default printer and problem with printing Crystal Report

Good morning
I have SAP B1 and on the client the default printer is "AMM_4014DN_PCL6_domain-srv FRONTE-RETRO"
Then i have another printer "AMM_4014DN_PS_domain-srv".
Before the default printer were the "AMM_4014DN_PS_domain-srv".
Now the default printer is "AMM_4014DN_PCL6_domain-srv FRONTE-RETRO".
When i push the button "Print" in the menu bar to print for example an invoice, instead of printing on the default printer AMM_4014DN_PCL6_domain-srv FRONTE-RETRO is always printing on then AMM_4014DN_PS_domain-srv.
The report to print was made with Crystal Report 2008 and on the report I also set the correct default printer (AMM_4014DN_PCL6_domain-srv FRONTE-RETRO).
So what's the problem ? Why is continue to print to the older printer ?
So i also delete the older printer (AMM_4014DN_PS_domain-srv) and very strange still printing on the old printer.
I also shut down the client, but no effect.
The operating system of the client is Win Vista and SAP B1 is host on a Win2008 server.
Thanks in advance.

Problem showing the crystal report viewer in form after added the component on it

Greetings
I have a problem running a program. I created a form which I added the component Crystal Report Viewer perfecty but during program execution when I call that form my VS 2012 Ultimate show the following error:
Translated:
Failed to create the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. Error: An exception occurred in the type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.Shared.SharedUtils'.
Note: If I remove the component from the form. the applications runs fine when calling the form without the component CrystalReportViewer
It is something related to my VS? o just that the actual version 13.0.9 is not yet compatible?

Report.Show?
How about you try:
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = <path to your report>
Or:
Dim crReportDocument As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
crReportDocument.Load(<path to your report>)
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crReportDocument
Or, if the report is added to the project:
crReportDocument = New test
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crReportDocument

Problem with starting Crystal Report document from SAP Gui

Dear all,
in Crystal Reports I created my first report (based on a BW query), which is executed successfully, when I run it directly from CR or from Infoview. The report is stored directly in BW and has been published successfulyl to BOE.
If I try to run it native from the SAP Gui, the following steps happen:
Internet Explorer is started with the following link:
http://dtcmbbwp01.ctc.ch.rcc:1080/sap/bw/ce_url?(ce_protcl):(DS)(ce_server)/(ce_path_pr)/viewreport.csp(Q)bw_id=4I4B2HQG8KK2ICFPONVIG5D9Q&sap_sysid=(sysid)&sap_client=010&language=EN&sap-client=010
this link is transcoded to the following:
http://dtcmbbwp01.ctc.ch.rcc:1080/sap/bw/=ce_protcl)%3a//MONHAMBO020.world.mon:8080%2fSAP%2fviewreport.csp(Q&sap_sysid=BWP&sap_client=010&language=EN&sap-client=010&sap-language=EN&cmsname=MONHAMBO020.world.mon
(I already entered /CRYSTAL/CL_BW_HTTP_HANDLER handler in the ce_url service)
and afterwards I get an error 404 -> corresponding service not available
which is obvious, as a service =ce_protcl is not existing at alkl.
If I then execute my CR document again from SAPGui (without closing the IE), the standard BOE login page for the infoview is displayed, but I get an error:
Account information not recognized: The credentials passed to secSAPR3 [] are invalid. Use the following format: sid~clnt/user
I can logon with my BW credentials, and afterwards I can see my CR document.
Any idea, what went wrong?
Thanks,
Andreas

Dear Ingo,
the basic installation of all BOE components was done by the SAP installation service and I checked several times your blog(s) and the corresponding parts on the BOE server and in BW. From my point of view we did all necessary configuration steps on BOE and BW (/CRYSTAL/RPTADMIN) which are necessary to setup the BOE software and the connections.
I checked again the HTTP handler and it still says: /CRYSTAL/CL_BW_HTTP_HANDLER
I stopped and restarted the service, but with no effect at all -> I do not think that I need a restart of the server, right?
My user is as well existing on the BOE server and I can logon to the BOE with my SAP credentials.
I guess as well that the key to the success is the HTTP handler. The first link I provided is the link that is shown in IE, before I logged on to the BW server and I think this is correct, as the transcodification is done after(!) I logged on to the BW server.
A part of the transcodification is as well working, as I can see the replacement of my ce_server, sysid, etc. But it seems to me that the first part of the string is crap:
http://dtcmbbwp01.ctc.ch.rcc:1080/sap/bw/=ce_protcl)%3a
Any further ideas?
Thanks and best regards,
Andreas

Problem with Exporting crystal report to Excel

Hi !
I am new to crystal world. I have an application which has csp code. From the csp code (internal website) we invoke crystal using viewer.cwr to view or export reports. Last week we upgraded from Crystal 10 to Crystal Reports XI Release 2. Due to this upgrade we did some modification to the Viewer.cwr url ( Changed to Viewer.asp too). Now the View option is working fine but when the report is exported to an Excel the columns are squeezed up.
Here is the code for the viewer.asp :
ExcelWindow = window.open("http://servername/crystalreportviewers115/viewrpt.asp?id=" + id + "&apstoken=" + escape(token) + <%Response.Write("'"&sReportLogin&"'")%>'&promptex-REPORTDATE='pRptDate'&promptex-State='pState'&promptex-usertype='pUserType'&promptex-startreport='pStartpSelect'&cmd=export&export_fmt=U2FXLS:3&',"ExcelWindow", windowprops);
Is there any way to solve this formatting issue ? I tried changing the export format option as "export_fmt=U2FXLS:4" but this pulled up the data with the report header and sub heading in one row. Please help.

Why this behaviour. Why the "Classpath" entry should
not be the last line in the manifest file.
That is a question for the people at Sun. The behaviour is not specific to Class-Path. The last line of the Manifest is not read unless it ends with a newline.

Password is lost when I save the Crystal Report

We use Crystal Reports v. 11.5.3.417, and our users access the crystal Reports using InfoView (Web Portal)
We store the username and password inside the different Repor so the end-users of these reports don't have to know our database passwords in order to run the reports. (Oracle DB)
We have 2 problems with our Crystal Reports
1) Every time I change and the Save a report, the Password is lost, and I have to remember to go into the "Manage Object" and Process->Database and enter it again. It's really annoying to have to remember this every time we change a report.. Is there an option somewhere to avoid this?
2) The password and username are occationly failing. When the users (accessing Crystal Reports through the Web Portal / Infoview) get an error message "Incorrect logon parameters..." The funny thing (actually not that funny) is that if I try to open the report like 10-15 times, just by clicking on the Crystal Report in the Infoview, it usually starts to work again. Some times after 5 clickes, and other times after 10-15 clicks. Its just not logical. Also when it starts working in my web-browser, it also start to work on our users browser as well.
Every week I have to tell a couple of users to try like 10-15 times, but its not that funny to say this to a user.

Hi Roy Ingar Hansen,
If you think not to provide the password for your End user then we can do that go into the "Manage Object" and Process->Database enter the password and Enable the option in :
When viewing report:
Use same database logon as when report is run.
For the first time you need to enter the logon credentials and enable the option and click on update.
It wont prompt for the password and it will not show password to your user's.
If you have problems with Original database logon , then try with Custom database logon and update the option.
Try with this...
Regards,
Naveen.

Hi
We will fix this.
The particular problem you noticed is one that we will be addressing with the RTM version of CR Viewer XI. We mentioned only Win XP was supported in the release notes âu20ACu0153For Technical Preview, the Crystal Reports Viewer XI is supported only on Windows XP in English.âu20AC
Root Cause
The root cause is that GDI+ is not installed already on Windows 2000. We will be changing our install to add it. However, if you would like to continue to use CR Viewer XI Tech Preview (we hope you will) => You can download and install GDI+ yourself: If you google âu20ACu02DCGDI+ Windows 2000 Microsoftâu20AC(tm) youâu20AC(tm)ll see the linksÂ Many thanksCR Viewer XI Tech Preview/Beta TeamÂ Ps We will be sending a survey to beta participants at the end of the beta period, and we look forward to your feedback in that survey. Â
In particular, would you be willing to read through the Tech Preview release notes and see if any of the known issues have a big impact on your potential use of CR Viewer XI = that feedback in the survey will be very important for us [the release notes are available at http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/3023 ]

Windows 2008 problems with Delphi and the Crystal Reports VCL

Anybody had any luck with Crystal XI using the VCL on a Windows 2008 machine?
In testing we've found that everything seems to work, except that the user can not select a different printer. When I go to the Printer Setup button, the panel that pulls up used to have, in previous Windows versions, a printer button inside the Printer Options box. Windows 2008 does not, so the end user can not select a different printer to print to than their default.
Anybody have any ideas on:
1) Am I just doing somthing wrong
2) A fix for the Crystal XI VCL that will address the probelm
3) An option on how to call Crystal Reports from inside a Delphi program without the VCL?
Obviously, I'm hoping I don't have to go with #3, but if that's the only solution I guess I need to know now.

Problem printing duplex even though it's saved in the Crystal Report.

I'm using VS.NET 2010 with Crystal Reports 13.0.10.1385
We have a set of Crystal Reports that were created with Crystal 8.5 and they print duplex and the printer and printer preferences are saved with each Crystal Report.
The problem is this, I'm pulling in these reports to my VS.NET 2010 Project using Crystal Report Viewer and it will not keep the printer preferences when you print the report. Why, it works using VB6.0? The only way I can get it to print duplex is to manually set the printer preferences before printing the report.

Hi Bill,
Update the reports to CR 2011 or above then that info should be saved. If not add this line of code to your app:
rpt.PrintOptions.PrinterDuplex = PrinterDuplex.Default; // you can change the last value
Or if using RAS use this:
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.PrintOptions RASPO = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.PrintOptions();
RASPO.PrinterDuplex = CrPrinterDuplexEnum.crPrinterDuplexSimplex;
And comparing RDC to .NET doesn't work. RDC used COM and DEVMODE, .NET uses the System.Printer API set.

How to stop printing the crystal report with an alert message

I am having a field called "APPROVAL" in my stored procedure with which I prepared the CR. I want that if the value in the filed is 'A' then only the crystal report should print else it should prompt with an alert message.

Hi Sreejith,
Check this helps you:
Create an alert from "Report -> Alerts -> Create or Modify Alerts" with below steps:
1. Provide name of the alert (say Alert1)
2. Click on X+2 in front of "Message" field and write the Alert message you want to display.
3. Click on Condition button and write the condition If not({APPROVAL}='A') then true;
The above Alert will prompt with configured alert message when {APPROVAL} field is not having value of 'A'
Now, in a formula, write below content and display it where you want to display the APPROVAL field value:
If {APPROVAL} = 'A' then
{APPROVAL}
This formula content will be blank if the value of {APPROVAL} is not 'A'
Thanks,
Raghavendra

How to create a report with data using the Crystal Reports for Java SDK

Hi,
How do I create a report with data that can be displayed via the Crystal Report for Java SDK and the Viewers API?
I am writing my own report designer, and would like to use the Crystal Runtime Engine to display my report in DHTML, PDF, and Excel formats. I can create my own report through the following code snippet:
ReportClientDocument boReportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
boReportClientDocument.newDocument();
However, I cannot find a way to add data elements to the report without specifying an RPT file. Is this possible? I seems like it is since the Eclipse Plug In allows you to specify your database parameters when creating an RPT file.
is there a way to do this through these packages?
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.data
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.definition
Am I forced to create a RPT file for the different table and column structures I have?
Thank you in advance for any insights.

com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportDefControllerException: The field was not found.---- Error code:-2147213283 Error code name:invalidFieldObject
How do I add one of the table.SetDataFields() to my report to be displayed?
Are there any other pointers or suggestions you may have?
Thank you
