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

  • Please help with my crystal reports server 2008 trial setup

    Firstly, if this is in the wrong section feel free to move it. I find this forum is to big to find the information i need, in fact trying to find anything i need on this website is almost impossible. So far not impressed with SAP at all! we download a trial and when we have problems nobody can support us and we have to post in the forums for answers, which i find disgracefull to be honest. So this post is my last attempt of finding the answers to my problems or we are going to forget crystal reports server for good! I was also told that if i wanted help setting this up then i would have to pay, thats not how things usually go when we download a trial of any software!
    Anyway, rant over!!
    Right, we have windows server 2008 and have installed crystal reports server 2008. So far all i have managed to get working is the reports themselves which run and schedule fine. The dashboard and business views are so confusing i just dont get it at all, the manuals dont help either becuase they are rubbish basically. But my first problem is trying to get windows AD authentication working! easier said than done. I have spent 4 days trying to get it working but nothing is happening. this is what i have done so far
    Set up all the options in the CMC to enable AD authentication, mapped a few groups one of which i am a member of.
    Then i setup the krb5.ini file like below (removed my server name and domain name)
    [libdefaults]
        default_realm = DOMAIN.CO.UK
        dns_lookup_kdc = true
        dns_lookup_realm = true
        udp_preference_limit = 1
    [realms]
    DOMAIN.CO.UK = {
        kdc = DC.CO.UK
        default_domain = DOMAIN.CO.UK
    i also have that other file bscLogin which looks like this...
    com.businessobjects.security.jgss.initiate {
    com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required;
    The server inteligence agent has been set to use the same username as i specified in the CMC which is also the service principal name and the administartion name
    i have set the web config file to use SecWINAD as default, i have also set it to give the option of enterprise, win ad etc in a drop down list
    i have gone round in circles for days following the instructions, and nothing is happening
    Also i dont see any usernames within the groups i have mapped , am i supposed to see any? am i supposed to add them manually?? if so, whats the point in that?
    So now everytime i try to log in i get this error message
    Account Information Not Recognized: Active Directory Authentication failed to log you on. Please contact your system administrator to make sure you are a member of a valid mapped group and try again. If you are not a member of the default domain, enter your user name as UserName@DNS_DomainName, and then try again. (FWM 00006)
    There is also another error message i get, which isnt coming up right now but it says somthing along the lines of could not authenticate at this time (FWM 00005)
    i fail to see what im doing wrong. I shoudl also point out that the username i am using for everything is our own network admin password!
    any ideas on things to check before we give up with this all together?

    Hi Roberto,
    With the changes when SAP took over BusinessObjects the support packaging also changed. It's the way it is now but we are moving to and giving as much options as we can. SAP works on the Self Serve practice. the info is available but you have to find it, which is another thing we are working on to improve for BOE/CRS.
    Best place to start is in the CMS link off the start menu, You'll find the Admin Guide and Setup/Configuration Guides. You can also find all of the latest info and updates to those guides from help.sap.com then click on the SAP BusinessObjects tab along the top and then on the left click on All Products and then filter on your version.
    Once the Firewalls and Domains and your CRS Server is added to the Trusted Domains and ports opened to allow CRS to talk to the DNS Server CRS will begin to load all of the users into it's User Mappings. You still have to add each user or Group of Users but they will be available. Documents does describe how to....
    Once you have the Admin Guide search on Security and it explains in details how to set up and which ports need to be opened etc.
    Thank you

  • Installing Crystal reports server 2008 v1 with iis

    Hi All
    I have downloaded a trial version of Crystal reports server 2008 v1 to install on our server.
    We are runnning server 2003 and have iis version 6.0 installed.
    I have run the installation wizard on our test server but when i get to the "Select Web Application Server" screen i am not given the option to select "Deploy the application in WACS" as the documentation suggests i should.
    I continued with the installation using the "IIS Web ApplicationServer option" and selected the default iis website to deploy to but when i try to run the CMC and InfoView I just get the message "Internet Explorer cannot display the Webpage"
    We have asp.net v1.1 installed and Application server is installed in windows components.
    Does anyone have any idea what may be causing my problems. It is my first time install ing CRS so i may have missed something.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    CRS 2008 requires 2.0 framework to run

  • Crystal Reports Server 2008 Trial Installation Problem

    I recently downloaded the trial version of Crystal Reports Server 2008 and ran into a problem with the installation key code sent to me.  During the install, I enter the keycode and the install application says it is invalid.  I'm attempting to install the Linux version on Red Hat Enterprise 5.2.  I know that this is technically not a supported version of Linux but I would not expect that cause a problem with the  key code.
    Does anyone have any ideas on what is happening?
    Thanks...

    Hi Jeff,
    I would suggest you to install Crystal reports on supported platform only.
    To narrow down the issue you can try to install on other machine with supported environment so that it would be clear that the issue is with Keycode or not.

  • Crystal Report Server 2008 SP1 redistributable printing problems

    I'm trying to print from a asp .net form after recently installing the Crystal Report Server 2008 SP1 redistributable.
    When I click on the print button it brings up a empty messagebox with 'csprintdlg' in the title in IE7.
    My installation on the Windows2003 is slighty different since my Inetpub\wwwroot folder is located on the D: drive.
    The previous installer, included the aspnet_client\system_web\2_0_50727\crystalreportviewers12
    on the C: drive but this one did not. I copied the folder from another server with just the initial version of the redistributable, everything works except printing.

    Using [Fiddler|http://www.fiddlertool.com/fiddler/] on the client web browser machine will give you a clearer idea of what's amiss on the server.
    It's a starting point for tracing back to what's missing or being denied on the server.
    Following that, [Process Monitor|http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx] on the server is useful for hunting for missing components or permissions issues.

  • Problem with vertical text in crystal report viewer

    Hi,
    I am displaying vertical text in crystal report designer and deploying the report in crystal reports server 2008. The deployed report is being displayed using JAVA in crystal report viewer control.
    Problem: Vertical text header  is getting collapsed wth other vertical headers.
    Please help on this.
    Thanks,

    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.

  • Is Voyager included with Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1?

    Hi all,
    Is Voyager included with Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1?
    Regards,
    Janice

    Hi
    the CRS licensing model does not support Voyager. You may want to consider installing BO Edge or BO Enterprise for this. I would recommend to contact your local SAP sales office to get more information on this.

  • Crystal reports server 2008 VI questions

    I aplogixze if I am asking many questions in the same thread. If so please let me know. and I'll create seperate threads.
    Questions with Crystal reports server 2008 VI
    1. In my current VS2005 web application with CR 2008 developer I have done the following :
    a. When the user selects a report it prompts for the database that is needs to connect. User could select Test or Live database
    b. I could hide the export button for each report
    c. Add the same report twice to the same folder under diffrent report descriptions
    Could I do the same with Crystal reports server 2008 VI?
    2. I have added a report that connects to the SQL server and also I set up the required ODBC for the report on the server. I could run the report without any issue.
    When I add the same report to another folder in CMC or add a new report that uses the same connection, and try to run it, I get the following error.
    I did set location and verify database in Crystal designer many times and added the report into CMC, but still it gives me the error.
    However the first report that I added still works fine. For some reports it shows the parameter screen and when I enter them and click OK it gives the same error. I checked the logon information and they are correct. Reports work fine in Crystal designer.
    error message:
    "The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect"

    I assume that you have built your reports with the CR Designer 2008 V1. Try to open the affected report in the CR Designer and select Database->VErify database and save it back into the repository. Does it work?

  • Crystal Reports Server 2008 dispose not closing document

    Hey everyone,
    I;m running some reports through Crystal reports 2008 server (no service packs) using the RAS sdk and Java.
    This was working swimmingly for a while until yesterday when the server hosting the RAS and app server fell over. I tracked it down to a problem with the RAS server. The error i got in my logs was General Exception, Report SDK Exception Not enough memory for operation.  I reran the process and when i watched task manager the memory being allocated to crystalras.exe went through the roof! it went from 50k to 1.8g of ram in under 10 minutes.
    I tried lots of the other suggestions in here for the errors about memory that are similar to mine (increasing the heap memory etc.) and none of them worked.
    One thing i noticed though is that when I run the process and watch the metrics page of the RAS server on the management console the number of Open documents does not decrease even though i am 100% totally and utterly calling .close and .dsipose after every report i open. Definitely. Ive debugged it a million times and it is calling these methods. It is successfully releasing the connections fine but does not seem to releasing the open documents. After the Open documents metric went down to 0 (im presuming after a timeout) the memory that crystalras.exe was reduced. I then  changed the timeout tag in CRConfig.xml to 1 minute to see would this help out any but the open documents did not timeout any faster.
    Would i be right in thinking that these open documents would be causing my problem of the aggregated memory? Im at my wits end here so any piece of help is greatly appreciated!

    Hi Ted,
    Thank you for getting back to me, i was on vacation there for a while so that is why i didnt get back to you.
    When I call reportClientDocument.isOpen() just before i dispose of the report it is true and after i dispose of it it correclty returns false.
    I am really stressing out over this as we are reduced to running 500 reports through the server (one after another) and then stopping the process and restarting the RAS server and then running another 500 reports.
    crystalras.exe gets up to about 2g of ram consumed for only 500 reports.
    I even changed some of the timeout settings on the settings page of the management console to see would they timeout and release the memory but alas it didnt release as much as a byte. I left it for 3 days and it didnt deallocate one piece of memory.
    Im currently investigating is there some way from my code that I can restart the RAS server, either through the SDK or through a windows process or scheduled task.
    Ted, as far as i can see there are no service packs for Crystal Reports Server 2008, is that right? when i go to the downloads page there only ones listed for release X1.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Do I need to uninstall Crystal Reports Server 2008?

    Hello,
    We recently installed Crystal Reports Server 2008 and began migrating reports off the CR Enterprise 9 platform and things were going pretty well.
    One of our other locations began moving over their reports that are ran against an Oracle database and cannot get passed a connectivity issue. We found the following:
    Oracle connectivity issues
    If you are installing Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1 on a 64-bit Windows
    platform, Oracle database connectivity issues may occur. If Crystal Reports
    Server 2008 V1 is installed to a location that contains brackets in the folder
    path, for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\, it will be unable to connect
    to an Oracle database. Certain Oracle database clients such as version
    10.2.0.2 or 10.1.0.2, may not function properly with any application that
    has brackets in its folder path. When installing Crystal Reports Server 2008
    V1, select an installation path that does not contain brackets, such as
    C:\Program Files x86\ or contact Oracle support for an updated database
    client.
    We of course have everything installed in the default (x86) folder. My question is, is there a way to move the installation, or do I need to uninstall/re-install? If I need to re-install, is there a way to back-up and reload all of my existing jobs?

    Hello,
    CR must have the Oracle client installed. Unless you use a Wired Driver, which has the client engine built in, CR requires a client to be installed. It never has worked without the client installed.
    Also, I've found that if you have more than one Oracle client installed it causes problems. Make sure the first one in the PATH statement points to the latest version of the client.
    And yes you are correct, ODBC is a layer on top of the native client so it will be slower obviously because it has to go through one more layer of dll's to get to the server.
    Thanks again
    Don

  • Crystal Report Server 2008 - Out of Memory in Event Server

    Hi All,
            We run a Crystal report Server 2008 on a Windows 2003 Server Std Edition, with 4 GB of Memory and enough Harddisk space(C: More than 25 GB and D: around 155 GB).  The Server is running with MS SQL Server 2005 and CRS 2008 on MySQL and Tomcat.  Other than this there is a transactional application running using MS SQL Server 2005 which creates a new database everyday. 
           We have Scheduled reports which were working fine for an year, since last month we were getting the "Out of Memory in the event Server" error and the CRS stops to schedule reports, only after restarting the server and SIA it allows us to schedule the jobs in time.  But this happens every once in 2 days.  Am not sure what is causing this problem.  Currently there are no backup jobs running and no OS Scheduled jobs are running and also no error messages in the Application log other than the "Out of Memory in the Event Server".
           Could anyone help to sort out what may cause this?
    Thanks

  • Difference between Crystal Reports Server 2008 and Business Objects XI R2

    Can anyone please help me know the difference between Crystal Reports Server 2008 and Business Objects XI R2? Both the support guides says that it supports Office 2007. I have a problem in exporting the reports to Excel 2007 .I have downloaded the trial version of Crystal Reports Server 2008 but still unable to view my  complete reports in Excel 2007 through infoview because few of my report's colums are truncated and it still exports in Excel 2003.I have LiveOfficeXIR2_SP4 and Office 2007 installed. Is it so that i have to switch over to Business Objects XI R2 or any other to solve my problem instead of using Crystal Reports Server 2008 or is it the problem with the version of my Live office.Pls help me regarding this..
