Reports with subreports take longer to preview in Crystal 2008 Viewer

Previewing reports containing one or more subreports within a .NET application using the 2008 Windows Forms Crystal Report Viewer control takes much longer than running those same reports from the XI R2 viewer. This occurs because the report will run a subreport for all pages before the report shows the first page. In Crystal XI R2, the report would run the subreport for only the first page and only retrieve additional data for that subreport when scrolling to subsequent pages. Is there a way we can ensure that a subreport only runs for the first page before it previews the first page?

Hello Darin
2008 Windows Forms Crystal Report Viewer control takes much longer than running those same reports from the XI R2 viewer
- What exactly is the difference? In some instances one or two seconds are considered undesirable...
- How does the performance of the report compare when you run it in the CR designer?
- What CR Service Pack are you on?
- Place a check mark at the following report options:
"No Printer"
"Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size"
"Verify on First Print"
"Verify Stored Procedures on First Print"
If your subreports are set to "Re-import", turn this option off.
This occurs because the report will run a subreport for all pages before the report shows the first page.
- I do not think this is correct. What is this conclusion based on?

Crystal report with prompts takes very long time to open in infoview BOXI3.

Crystal report with prompts takes very long time to open in infoview BOXI3.1?
Is there any way to increase the performance.

Ramsudhakar,
There are several items that could cause these slow down problems. Without knowing more about the way your environment is setup, I could cause more problems, by giving out performance tips. You would need to be more specific in your post.
What we know. BOXI3.1
What we don't know.
O/S
App. Server
Hardware Spec's
ETC.
I see that this post has been out here for some time. So if this is still a problem for you I'll try and help, if you provide more information.
Thanks

Changing database server on a report with subreports = formula error

Good morning,
I currently have several reports that print out, and were developed attached to our development database. However, I need to be able to dynamically change the server that the report uses according to the server configured in our application. Each of these reports contains one or more subreports, which point to the same server and database as the main report. All reports, both the main and subreports, are based on manual SQL commands.
I'm running into some significant issues. So significant, in fact, that we were forced to deploy our application with reports that had been switched to our production environment in the designer in order to get them functional. This is, obviously, not an acceptable or long-term solution.
I've gone round and round a couple of times I get different results with different methods of changing this information. I'll outline them below. First, my current code:
ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
                TableLogOnInfo logOnInfo = new TableLogOnInfo();
                Console.WriteLine("Report \"{0}\"", report.Name);
                foreach (Table table in report.Database.Tables)
                    logOnInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
                    connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo(logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo);
                    connectionInfo.ServerName = "panthers-dev";
                    connectionInfo.DatabaseName = "Prosys";
                    logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
                    //table.Location = "Prosys.dbo." + table.Location.Substring(table.Location.LastIndexOf(".") + 1);
                    table.ApplyLogOnInfo(logOnInfo);
                    table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
                    Console.WriteLine("\t\"{0}\": \"{1}\", \"{2}\", \"{3}\", {4}", table.Name, table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName, table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName, table.Location, table.TestConnectivity());
                foreach (Section section in report.ReportDefinition.Sections)
                    foreach (ReportObject ro in section.ReportObjects)
                        if (ro.Kind == ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject)
                            SubreportObject sro = (SubreportObject)ro;
                            ReportDocument subreport = report.OpenSubreport(sro.SubreportName);
                            Console.WriteLine("\tSubreport \"{0}\"", subreport.Name);
                            foreach (Table table in subreport.Database.Tables)
                                logOnInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
                                connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo(logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo);
                                connectionInfo.ServerName = "panthers-dev";
                                connectionInfo.DatabaseName = "Prosys";
                                logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
                                //table.Location = "Prosys.dbo." + table.Location.Substring(table.Location.LastIndexOf(".") + 1);
                                table.ApplyLogOnInfo(logOnInfo);
                                table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
                                Console.WriteLine("\t\t\"{0}\": \"{1}\", \"{2}\", \"{3}\", {4}", table.Name, table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName, table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName, table.Location, table.TestConnectivity());
Using this approach, my console output prints what I expect and want to see: the correct server and database information, and True for TestConnectivity for all reports and subreports. The two reports I have that have no subreports print out correctly, with data from the proper server. However, all of the reports with subreports fail with formula errors. If this procedure is not run, they work just fine on either server.
I had to place the assignment of table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo after the call to ApplyLogOnInfo, as that function did not behave as expected. If I perform the assignment first (or not at all), then calling ApplyLogOnInfo on the outer report's table did NOT affect the values of its ConnectionInfo object, but it DID affect the values of the ConnectionInfo object's of its subreports!
In any event, if anyone could post a code sample of changing database connection information on a report containing subreports, I would appreciate it.
Any help is greatly appreciated and anxiously awaited!

Hi Adam,
Code for changing database connection information on a report containing subreports :
private ReportDocument northwindCustomersReport;
    private void ConfigureCrystalReports()
        northwindCustomersReport = new ReportDocument();
        string reportPath = Server.MapPath("NorthwindCustomers.rpt");
        northwindCustomersReport.Load(reportPath);
        ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
        connectionInfo.ServerName = "localhost";
        connectionInfo.DatabaseName = "Northwind";
        connectionInfo.IntegratedSecurity = false;
        SetDBLogonForReport(connectionInfo, northwindCustomersReport);
        SetDBLogonForSubreports(connectionInfo, northwindCustomersReport);
        crystalReportViewer.ReportSource = northwindCustomersReport;
    private void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
        ConfigureCrystalReports();
    private void SetDBLogonForReport(ConnectionInfo connectionInfo, ReportDocument reportDocument)
        Tables tables = reportDocument.Database.Tables;
        foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table table in tables)
            TableLogOnInfo tableLogonInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
            tableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
            table.ApplyLogOnInfo(tableLogonInfo);
    private void SetDBLogonForSubreports(ConnectionInfo connectionInfo, ReportDocument reportDocument)
        Sections sections = reportDocument.ReportDefinition.Sections;
        foreach (Section section in sections)
            ReportObjects reportObjects = section.ReportObjects;
            foreach (ReportObject reportObject in reportObjects)
                if (reportObject.Kind == ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject)
                    SubreportObject subreportObject = (SubreportObject)reportObject;
                    ReportDocument subReportDocument = subreportObject.OpenSubreport(subreportObject.SubreportName);
                    SetDBLogonForReport(connectionInfo, subReportDocument);
Hope this helps!!

Creating report with Subreports

I am creating a report with two subreports and am getting an error. The error is Error source: Error code:0x80070057 I can;t seem to figure out what is prompting this and it comes up when I try to preview the report. Can anyone please help?

Hi Jeff,
I did not find any specific description of the error, but previous incidents research tells me that it could be related to parameter prompt. Do you have any parameters in your report? How many, what type?
You may try to locate the problem:
1. Is it possible to temporarily delete some parameters?
2. Are your subreports linked using parameters?
3. You have three reports (main and two subs). Run each report separately to make sure they work fine.
4. Run main report with one sub
5. Try unlinked subreports
More tests should help us better understand the situation.

Originally the stored procedure had the last parameter as an integer. I tried everything with the formulas, CDBL(1.00) ToNumber(1.00) 1.00 1 hoping it just wasn't recognizing that the value needed to be a number but nothing worked. I changed the stored procedure to require a VARCHAR for the last parameter, updated the report and it worked for me.

Report with subreports. Web Service/XML problem. Please help!

Hi,
I have a composite report (main report with 9 subreports). The report uses web service as datasorce and is provided with single xml file containing the schema and all the tables for the main reports and its subreports.
The problem I encounter is that i have to establish a connection for each subreport in order to get it work and it is the same connection. Moreover, I have observed that each time a subreport is drilled there is distinct call to the web service.
So, i end up having a single .rpt file which makes up to 10 unnecessary calls over http just get the same xml data ???
I've tried everything to solve this problem without any success.
Option 1: Removing subreports. Not posible because main report can not handle multiple detail section separately.
Option 2: Using multiple detail section in main report and conditionally suppress rows. Not possible
Option 3: Removing datasource from subreports and pass array variables instead. Not posible
Option 4: Remove subreports and use crosstabs in main report. Not posible
Any ideas?
Please I would greatly appreciate any input, I am getting quite desperate about this.
Thank you very much.

Subreports make their own data connection, the reason why subreports are used for other data sources.

Report with Subreport very slow from SharePoint

HI,
I have a report with a sub-report that runs in about 9 seconds from my PC using the Report Designer with SQL Server 2008R2.
When I run the deployed report from SharePoint it takes 4 minutes. If I remove the sub-report it again runs fine from SharePoint.
The sub-report is pretty simple and links to the main report using 3 parameters.
What would cause this?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Crystal Report with subreports breaks when running on different databases.

HI there
I have a report with 5 subreports on that only works on the database I am designing it on. As soon as I run the report through my application on a database different to the one I design on, it seems to have lost all the parameter fields I created in one of the subreports (the one I have just added, the other 4 work fine) used to link to the main report.
It then pops up with the Parameter Value box and asks for values for 2 parameters that I do not use to link to the subreport, nor have added to the subreport in design time, and in code when I step through the parameterfields list property, the parameters I added in design time to the subreport are not in the list but somehow these 2 parameter fields have been added to the subreport? These 2 parameters have the same names as some main report parameters which have been set already, but as mentioned these somehow now belong to the subreport.
When I run the report through my app on the database I design on all parameters are present and the report works fine.
The parameters in the subreport are all command parameters, linking to a command field, a formula field and another non-command parameter in the main report. All these are set and work fine in the main report.
I set all the parameter values in code to the main report, and the subreports all use those to link to.
I am using CR v10.2 with VB2008 using .NET 2.0 framework (although I had similar problems in VB2005), where the report links directly to a SQL databse via commands. There are 4 commands in the main report and one in the problematic subreport. The subreports command incudes a SQL "IF" statement based on one of the parameters I am linking from the main report.
Please let me know if more info is required.
Thanks.

Hello, Eugen;
I understand you are using Visual Studio .NET 2008 with bundled Crystal Reports Basic for 2008 (10.5). Do you have a full version of Crystal Reports you use to design reports with or are you designing inside Visual Studio .NET?
I would like to suggest some ways to test and narrow down the issue.
One subreport appears to be changing the parameters used when the underlying database changes. Is there a change in the Command it is based on?
Create a simple report using the same command and the same database as is used in the problem subreport. Run it to confirm you get the same data as in the original.
Now in design, go into Database|Set Datasource location and change to the new datasource. Do a Database|Verify database. Do you see the change in parameter fields you are seeing at runtime? Has the Command changed? Does it run through the application?
If you see the same change there, it will have to be addressed in the designer first. If it runs well there, let us look further at the application.
What is the order of your code?
   Open main report
   Logon to database
   Pass parameters
   Open each subreport
   Logon to the database
   Pass parameters
   View the report.
Do you set all database locations before passing parameters?
Were any of the parameters created as "NULL" in the designer?
Once I have the answers to these questions we can look a little further.

Login error with report viewer when opening Crystal report with subreport

Hi
I have a problem with a login error (database vendor code 18456) when I try to open a crystal report to view it.
The report uses data from an external payroll database but I'm running it via our Accounts system (it's a convenient front end for users to run the report from). This works fine for another report that doesn't have any subreports. However when I run the Crystal report that has subreports, the report generation process works but when the crystal reports viewer tries to open the report I get the login error. It doesn't seem to be passing the login details for the payroll database down to the subreport.
I'm using Crystal Reports version 11.0.0.1282. The Accounts system is Technology One. Tech One have provided a report template that has several formulas designed to allow Tech One to play nicely with Crystal. One of these formulas allows me to enter the nickname of the external database that the report needs to use. The external database's connection details are fully specified in the Tech One configuration section (server console). So in this case the report says use database U1 & the server console identifies U1 as being the payroll database, specifies the connection path & has the username & password required to logon to the payroll database/server.
The report is running ok & retrieving data, but for some reason the viewer is erroring. If anyone has any ideas for how I can get the login details used to run the main report to flow through to the subreport it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Sue

I understand your frustration. We can do a few things. But really, it should be Technology One contacting us. To use an analogy (which you are free to share with Technology One). They built a car and sealed the hood. You bought the car, but he engine does not quite run as it should. You bring the car to the mechanic and all he can do is look at the car as he can not even open the hood.
In any case, here is what I would do if I could open the hood (e.g.; if I was dealing with Technology One):
1) Look up database vendor code 18456. This is simply the error our print engine is receiving from the database client and it simply passes it through relatively unhandled. This you should be able to do your self or ask Technology One to tell you what that means.
2) Break out the subreport and see if it runs on it's own in the application (if this is a permissions issue - which I doubt - it should come up here too). Unfortunately, this is for Technology One to do...
3) Run the report (with the subreport) in the CR designer. Does it work there? If this is a win app and it works, we again eliminated permission issues. And we also confirmed that the report is good. Again, Technology One should do this for you.
BTW.; CR 11.0 is out of support - not sure if you or Technology One are aware of this...
4) Can the developer duplicate the issue on his development computer?
Now, there are couple of instances where you say something like; "the report works and gets data, but the viewer errors out":
+The report is running ok & retrieving data, but for some reason the viewer is erroring.
However when I run the Crystal report that has subreports, the report generation process works but when the crystal reports viewer tries to open the report I get the login error. +
How do you know the report is retrieving data? From the error I would say the report never connects, thus the error / request for a logon...
So, the short of all of this is; get Technology One to contact us. They can do it over the forums or obtain a phone case here;
http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjamer/en_US/pd/productID.98078100
Now, here is a warning. As CR 11.0 is out of support Technology One will have to upgrade to CR 11.5, before that can create a phone case, which for them and you brings up another bunch of issues...
If you do not get any joy from the support person at you are talking to at Technology One, get him to escalate the issue. They are the ones that should be talking to us...

Battery of new iPad3 updated with iOS6 takes longer to charge

My new iPad3 whose battery was alright when it was running on iOS5. But when I updated the OS to 6, it started taking much longer time to recharge. Is there any suggestion on this issue? Thanks in advance.

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Report with Summary & Detail - Exporting to PDF in Crystal Report

Hi,
I am using Crystal Reports XI (release 2). I am trying out a report with Summary and Detail sections.
Requirement:
1.     Report should display both Summary and Detail Sections
2.     Summary section should be displayed first followed by Detail Section
3.     A field in summary section should have a hyperlink to Detail Section
4.     On clicking the hyperlink the user should be navigated to the corresponding detail record
5.     User should be able to download the whole report as a single PDF (i.e., both summary and detail together)
Implementation in Crystal Report:
This feature could be implemented using
a.     Linked On Demand Sub report
b.     Using Hide (Drill down ok) option
c.     Hyperlinks
Issue Faced:
I used the on demand sub report option. When i clicked on the sub report (hyperlink), the details get displayed. But the details get displayed in separate viewer and hence when we export to PDF both summary and detail are not getting exported together. User has to select each detail report and export to PDF. Is this a limitation in CR XI? - proprietary Crystal Report features, such as drill-down and on-demand subreports, are supported only in the native Crystal Report format. These special features are ignored when exporting a report to a non-Crystal format like pdf.
Is there any workaround for exporting both the summary and detail (in subreport) as a single PDF file?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Viji.

Hi
Hyperlink would not be a solution to what you are asking for.
If you want to see the records related to a particular employee id by clicking on emp id, you can try the below:
- Apply a group on employee id on the main report.
- Insert a subreport with the required fields and place it on the Employee id Group header. You can put a name of the subreport as "Check Employee details" or something else as per requirement and make it a on demand subreport.
- Link the subreport on Employee id.
Hope this helps!!!

Report with Subreport - Summary Table On First or Last Page

Post Author: andbort
CA Forum: General
All-
My apologies in advance for the long post. I would like to know if something can be done in a single report instead of having to spread it across two reports. I will use generic (Xtreme sample database) field names to explain my dilemma. I currently have the following report:
Main Report
Customer ID, Customer Name
Subreport
Order ID, Order Amount, Customer ID
Each Customer and its associated subreport are displayed on a separate page. So it looks like this:
(first page)
1 City Cyclists
100    $200    1
101    $5000 1
102    $350    1
(second page)
2 Pathfinders
103    $760    2
104    $20      2
(third page)
3 Bike-A-Holics Anonymous
105    $120    3
106    $270    3
107    $400    3
And so on. This report often has numerous customers (i.e. ~10 or more customers, thus ~10 or more pages). The business users would like to have a "summary" page at the beginning of the report. This summary page would be in basic tabular format, with one row per customer, but each row would contain values from the subreport. So the updated report would look like this:
(first page)
Customer ID       Customer Name                        Most Recent Order Amount
1                       City Cyclists                             $350
2                        Pathfinders                              $20
3                        Bike-A-Holics Anonymous        $400
(second page)
1 City Cyclists
100    $200    1
101    $5000 1
102    $350    1
(third page)
2 Pathfinders
103    $760    2
104    $20      2
(fourth page)
3 Bike-A-Holics Anonymous
105    $120    3
106    $270    3
107    $400    3
Is this possible in Crystal Reports 10?
Additional Background: The application in question is ASP.Net 1.1 (Visual Studio 2003) which displays reports designed in Crystal Reports 10. The actual report displays customer records in the detail section Da. There are 5 subreports, one in each section Da, Db, Dc, Dd, and De. The summary page could be rendered either at the beginning of the report (e.g. report header) or at the end (e.g. report footer), but will ultimately need to contain Customer table field values, as well as field values from two of the five subreports. I am hoping that this requirement can be addressed in a single report, instead of having to spread it across two reports (each displayed in its own CrystaReportViewer control on the web page). I am assuming that a solution to the generic example above will be applicable to my specific report.
Thanks,

Hi,
If I understand you correctly, you could simply use a crosstab at the begginning of your report to summarize all customers. If you put it alone in its section you'll be able to specify that you want a page break after.
The remaining of the report should be a simple report where you group on your customer and the detail line showing a sale.
finally, if I was wrong above and you still need subreports, you can use a shared variable (or a parameter) to allow the main report to receive the total from the subreport.
Good luck!

Report Background Engine takes long time

Hi all,
I'm using Reports6i while the db is a 10gXE instance.
When I click for the report, I see RBE starts but nothing happens for about 2-3 minutes; also in task manager I see RBE doesn't use CPU. After those minutes, ther parameter form appears. Even if the report doesn't require parameters, it still takes 2-3 minutes to show something.
I also have other reports made with Reports6i and their behaviour is completely different: they take 2-3 seconds! The difference is these reports work on Oracle 8 instances.
Maybe the problem is the Reports6i-Oracle10gXE interface?

Formatting page 1 often means that the query is still executing, not that the page is formatting page 1.
If the report is "Formating page 2" for a long while on a 3 page report (assuming page 2 is not another query in a different report section) it would seem that the query is passing bits of data back to the report a bit at a time.
In this case try adding the ALL_ROWS hint which forces Oracle to retrieve all rows (you optimizer may be set to first_rows)

Running Crystal report( with subreport) from VB6 using CRAXDRT.Report

The application (vb5 with CRAXDRT.Report version 11.5) works for more than 50 different reports.
This special report has a subreport with 5 Link elements.
Report works fine with Crystal XI. But when gets fired from vb6 application, after 2 or 3 times
(sometimes at the first time), application crashes with following error message pops up:
vb6.exe-Application Error.
Instruction at 0x0000000 referenced memory could not be "read"
The link elements of subreports are:
(MSP for Main report's stored proc, SSP for Subreport's stored proc)
MSP . @Prior -> SSP.@Prior
MSP . @managerID -> SSP.@managerID
MSP . @showall -> SSP.@showall
MSP . officeid-> SSP.@officeid
MSP . manager -> SSP.manager (items with @ sign are Parameters)
If I delete the last link element this error never happens !
Any clue ?

For starters, get the latest Service Pack for CR XI r2 from here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100013876392008E/crxir2win_sp5.exe
Make sure you also have the latest SP for VB 6.

Publishing Crystal Report with subreport in BOE

Where can I find specific step-by-step instructions on how to publish a Crystal Report in BOE that contains an on-demand subreport that contains links (passed parameters) to the main report? I havepublished the 'main' report and the subreport in the CMC and have run the main report in Infoview. But I can find no instructions on how to link the subreport to the main report at run time. The user should be able to click on a summary field that will in turn run the subreport that generates details about the specific summary he clicked on.
Thanks very much for your help,
Holly

Alright, so you wish to click on the summary field and open a Detail report that should be an on-demand sub-report that is linked with some other field in the Main report?
You can insert the sub-report and place it on the section where you want it to be in. Link the Main report to the subreport on a field and then right-click the subreport > select Format subreport > Check On-demand Subreport > Click the formula button beside On-demand subreport caption and type the name of the summary field in the formula.
This will make sure, the sumary field value is printed as the caption and it appears as a hyperlink.
