Reading Crystal Report under Portal 8.1

Hi,
Does anyone try to use crystal report api to read the report in portal
8.1? We try the sample but it's not working.
Andy

Not answered, just close the post.
However, if anyone encounter problem on parameter token as described, try upgrade to patch 10.  i was informed multiple value with non standard fields are fixeed in that patch, however, i have not tested yet.

  • Dynamic publishing of crystal report in portal.

    Hi All,
    My understanding of publishing Crystal Report in portal is using the URL iview, is my understanding correct.
    I have checked this in [Integration of BOE XI3.1 into the SAP Enterprise Portal 7.x|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/IntegrationofBOEXI3.1intotheSAPEnterprisePortal+7.x] wiki
    and my question is, when publishing the crystal report from Crystal Report Designer, it is published in BI via the bw publisher and saved under some BW role. Is it possible to display the saved report in portal with out creating the url iview as an object of pcd in portal, i mean the report which is saved under BW role needs to be displayed dynamically in portal with out iview creation. Is this possible.
    Can someone comment on this.
    Many Thanks,
    Ansar

    Hi Ansar,
    The Crystal reports can be used for publishinh good quality gralha and charts through BW. though making a URL iView is not the only option.
    Good examples of Crystal report usage have been explained in the link below:

  • Import Crystal Report to Portal

    I'm investigating the possibility of displaying crystal reports in Portal iViews. Those crystal reports will be reading off BW and R/3 data sources. I've run into different questions and they are:
    1) Should I save the crystal reports in BW repository or should I activate them and move them to Crystal Enterprise (i.e. which option is better? or do I not have a choice?).
    2) Where should the authorization be handled? My guess is at the portal, am I right?
    3) How to get crystal report format (especially font and background colors) to change with the portal style, if the user change it at run time.
    4) and finally, has anyone gone through this before? if so, is there any resources or manual on the subject? please help.

    I have done this using the iview template that is in the "migrated ep5 content" folder. I am just using EP6 SP2. With SP4 (and maybe SP3?) there is a template.
    1. I think the report needs to be saved in BW. It needs to be "published" as well. (See the BW documentation.)
    2. I think the authorization needs to be done in the BW. The reports are assigned to a role. The role is assigned to a BW user. We are using SAPLOGONTICKETS, so the BW user id has a matching id in the portal. The passwords do not need to match. (Don't forget to export the portal cerificate and import it into BW.) That is if you want SSO to work.
    3. Not sure about this one. I thought EP6 had something called "rendered iviews", but I can't find it. This is supposed to alter the look of a url iview to match the poral look. (I believe that a crystal report iview is basically just a url iview. It just calls a url http://crystal server/viewreport.csp(or jsp)?id=9999...etc).
    4. Feel free to email me at [email protected]
    You could just use a URL iview if you know the url of the report. The params are just filled out in the parameters of the iview wizard.
    The BIG hurdle I had to get through was the creation of the system(and alias) for the server where crystal is. The system properties for Crystal are missing from EP6 until you get to SP4 or SP3. I had to copy the par for the SAP system and add new properties for Crystal ENterprise. (seerver, path, and protocol.)

  • Crystal Reports and Portal..... PLEASE HELP !!!!!

    I am trying to create a URL link to http://{ipaddress}/Recrystallize/Oracle/volvotest.rpt?init=java&user0=myusername&password0=mypassword
    When I put the above link into the browser...ON THE PORTAL SERVER....it executes as expected....
    when placed in a portal url component....i get:
    Error:
    Either the URL is malformed or the target server could be down (WWV-13054)

    The preference path does not exist: ORACLE.WEBVIEW.PARAMETERS.1757670568 (WWC-51000)
    I need to get this resolved ASAP any help would or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Also, if anyone has implemented Crystal Reports into an Oracle Portal portlet....would be extremely interested in talking to you. Thanks.

    Edit the url component created, and uncheck the option of showing the customization parameters in the porlet.
    Meaning that, the url component should be created with the maximum customization allowed is
    "Display name of the component" and not the url.

  • How to read Crystal Report file Design version programmatically

    Hi,
    I am working on a project where I need the read Crystal file header and extract information that which designer was used to create the (Crystal) report. This will help me do some specific task if the version of the crystal used is very old (say older than 7.0), relatively new (say between 7.0 and 11.0) and the latest (11.0 or later).
    I have downloaded the SDK and all the dlls, but I just couldn't find any API or function using which I can get this info.
    Could you please let me know if there is any way to read this information programmatically from a crystal file?
    (I know this info can be seen in Crystal designer, but I need to do it at runtime).
    Thanks.

  • Publishing Crystal Report in Portal

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement of publishing Crystal Report query in portal which should point to BI server and execute, but not to the Crystal Enterprise Server for authentication. Can anyone has an idea around this.
    Please reply.
    Thanks in advance.
    Ansar.

    Hi,
    so I assume you want to use the SAP Authentication ?
    If so you would have to configure the SAP Authentication on the backend first and you can then use the iView template as part of the SAP Integration Kit to show the report in the portal.
    You can find the details in the Installation Guide for the SAP Integration Kit available on help.sap.com

  • How to view Crystal report under iOS ?

    Hello,
    I'm new with Crystal reports.
    In  BI 4.1 SP2 Patch 3 LaunchPad I have in " Preferences / Crystal report / View format":
    (x) Web (no downloading required)
    Yet, when I try to view Crystal reports on iOS mobiles, I've a message saying I have to install "Flash Player 11" !?!
    => impossible with iOS !
    Is it a bug ?
    Do I actually need Flash plugin to view Crystal reports ???
    If yes, "no downloading required" is not true...
    What is the best way to view Crystal reports on iOS mobiles ?
    In fact, I use Crystal reports provided with auditing Universe.
    They don't seem to be available in WebI format like with previous versions of BO.
    Regards,
    Stéphane.

    hello Stéphane,
    the prompt / parameter dialogue is the piece that uses flash.
    you can still view reports without the prompt dialogue but if you need parameterized reports then you have to build an html front end containing the controls to target the report. you can do that with webelements. please see this blog post here.
    your other choice is to get / purchase the mobile add-on for crystal reports server or businessobjects enterprise.

  • REP-50171 Authentication Failed running report under portal

    i am trying to run a 6i report via rwservlet using 9ias reports services.
    i am running it from the command line successfully [rwclient server=test1
    userid=test/test@testdb report=c:\reports\myreport.rdf destype=cache
    desformat=html]. i am not able to migrate this report at this time.
    i defined the report server to the portal
    [http://hostname:port/reports/rwservlet], defined the report to the portal
    [myreport.rdf] and associated the two. i am getting the following
    error:
    REP-50171 Authentication Failed
    i tried commenting out the [security id="rwSec...] entry in the
    test1.conf under my 9ias_mid_tier_home/reports/conf, but the error
    still occurs. i cannot find the error documented anywhere. can
    anyone tell me what it means?

    It's not clear to me how you run the report when you got the error message -- from Portal or from URL directly?
    Anyway please check if you have provided valid user name/password, and in Reports server config file, It is connecting to the same portal which you have registered Reports server/rdfs.

  • How to get a Crystal report as an iview in Portal

    Hi,
    Please let me know how to get a crystal report to Portal.
    Regards,
    Pradeep

    Hi,
    I used URL iview option to get the crystal report in portal and am able to view it. Thank you all for your inputs.
    But as of now SSO is not configured between BOE and BI system, so when i click on URL iview initially it asks me for credentials to BOE InfoView and after entering that it again asks for BI login as the data has to be picked from BI server.
    We are going to configure SSO mean while i just want to know whether it is possible to pass the id and passw as parameters to this url iview, if so what are the parameter id's i need to maintain to pass id and passw.
    Let me know on this.
    Regards,
    Pradeep

  • Max processing time or Max records limit reached (Crystal Reports Server)

    Although my report runs fine from with Crystal Reports (designer), I get an error when I try to run it from the Crystal Reports Server portal.
    I get an error u201CMax processing time or Max records limit reachedu201D.
    How can I solve this problem?
    Iu2019m accessing a DB2 database on an iSeries Server thru ODBC. I know that the report uses a lot of data. Therefore I have set u201Callow query timeout yesu201D within the ODBC data source. The data connection itself is not the problem, I have no problem running other reports on the same connection.
    PS. A do not know whether or not this is the right forum for my post. I first posted within "Java Development - BusinessObjects Enterprise, BusinessObjects Edge, Crystal Reports Server" but I did not get any response.

    I found the answer to my problem:
    1) Log onto the CMC
    2) Goto "Servers" in the dropdown menu
    3) Expand "Service Categories"
    4) Select "Crystal Reports Services
    5) In the right window will be listed the currently running services.  The 2 services that Dell mentioned are in there under "Description":  CrystalReportsProcessingServer and CrystalReports2013ProcessingServer
    Hope this helps somebody else.

    Hi ,
    While running a crystal reports in portal a pop-up appears with the following error message
    " Sorry = you are not logged into this server. Ensure that your user name and password, as well as the APS name are correct. "
    Can anyone help on this?

    That error message indicates that you are trying to retrieve a report from BusinessObjects Enterprise without entering the authentication information.

  • Conversion from VS2003 to VS2005 Crystal Report View is not compatible

    I am trying to migrate an application from VS2003 to VS2005.  I am trying to run it locally, using the localhost method.  I am getting a parser error: The base class includes the field u2018CrystalReportViewer1u2019 but itu2019s type (CrystalDecisionsWeb.CrystalReportViewer) is not compatible with the type of control (CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalReportViewer)
    I have a tried a number of solutions, including removing and then readding Crystal Report references (picking the 10.2.3600 ones).
    I also created a websetup project, trying either the windows installer and the merge modules.  Those both gave me the error "The setup requires Internet Information Server 4.0 or higher and Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 or higher.  This setup cannot be installe don Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows ME.  Please install Internet Information Server and run this setup again." so I guess I don't understand how localhost works, but I know it's not a true web server.
    I also followed a post to delete the assembly information that was in my web.config, which was      <add assembly="CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, Version=9.1.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/><add assembly="CrystalDecisions.ReportSource, Version=9.1.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/><add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Shared, Version=9.1.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/><add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=9.1.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/>
    and expected it to be readded when I re-added my references and rebuilt but there is now just an empty <assemblies></assemblies> tag.
    Note that I have VS2003, VS2005 and VS2008 all installed on my computer as we have application in various stages of conversions.  I think I just downloaded SP1 for Crystal Reports for VS2005 but it doesn't specify when I do Help-About in VS so maybe I didn't.
    I have spent so many countless hours and only just found this forum buried under the rather confusing SAP website.
    Thank you SO much for any help,
    Penny

    removing all of the references and adding the 10.2 references is a good start.  the problem is most likely that you still have a 9.1.5000 reference to CrystalDecisions.Web in the HTML source of your web form with a viewer control on it.  Easiest way to upgrade that is to delete the viewer control and drag a new one on from the toolbox.  the drag and drop of the viewer control is what will populate your "add assembly" tags.
