SAP Crystal Server

I have installed SAP BO BI platform 4 for using the SAP Crystal Server.Please suggest me some video guides so that i can get full knowledge of using the Crystal Report Server.
Thanks in advance

It would be easier to go through the admin and installation guide which also suggests the best practices. There are multiple blogs / wikis available in SCN.
You can have a look in at
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/crs2013/en/crs2013_install_win_en.pdf
I believe you may be having the guide. Just to let you know a video would never be able to capture all necessary information as mentioned in the PDF's.
Please search more for them.

C# retrieve report from SAP Crystal Server

I have installed SAP Crystal Server on a Windows 2012 Server machine. The installation looks fine. I can run the Central Management Console and everything appears to be up and running.
I have a Windows application running on my local machine and all I want to do is run a report.
myRCDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
myRCDoc.ReportAppServer = _server;
object path = reportName;
myRCDoc.Open(ref path, 0);
I get the following error:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in Billings.exe
Additional information: Failed to connect to server "ENTBSQ01".
How do I make the server reachable from my windows code?

Thanks Dell!
I'm currently not logging into the CMS.
I'm not clear when you ask "working with reports from CRS"?
The *.rpt files are indeed stored on the server. My windows app simply calls ReportClientDocument.Open to get the report. I'm assuming that means I am indeed working with reports from CRS.
I'll try to logging in part first and then move to checking the SDK.
Thanks again!

Migration from Crystal Enterprise 10 to SAP Crystal Server 2011

Hi all,
We are currently using Crystal Enterprise 10 to schedule and view our reports and the designer is Crystal Reports 10 .
we are planning to migrate to SAP Crystal Server 2011 with Crystal Reports 2011 as the designer.Can we do this migration directly or do we need to do the migration to an intermediate version before going to SAP Crystal Server 2011.
Regards,
Sreekanth S S

1. So in this case, I need to migrate from Crystal Enterprise 10 to Crystal Reports Server XI R2/Crystal Reports Server 2008 or more using import wizard Then I will need to migrate from Crystal Reports Server XI R2/Crystal Reports Server 2008 to SAP Crystal Server 2011 using Upgrade Manager tool. Is my inference correct?
That is correct. For XI R2, it would be XI R2 SP2 minimum. And you need to have a live installation of XI R2 SP2 as SAP does not have it in archieve download area.
2.What is the potential risk if we try to migrate from Crystal Enterprise 10 to SAP Crystal Server 2011 using upgrade manager tool?
I am not sure if that will work with success, If the reports migrated from CE10 do not work in CRS2011, it would be unsupported. You can however try it anyways.
3.Can we open the reports developed using Crystal Reports 10 designer in Crystal Reports 2011 designer? .This is for another requirement of us where we have to just migrate the reports alone .
Yes you can do that. Try opening and running them in CR2011, they should work but some of them can also result in some errors here and their, this is more specific to report design and what kind of grouping\ filtering\formulas you use.

SAP Crystal Server 2011 - trial

Hi,
I am trying to install a trial version of crystal server 2011 and it gives me the following error:
"application has requested runtime to terminate in an unusual way".
could someone tell me how i could resolve this?
I execute it on Win 7 with administrator rights.
thanks

OK. Thanks for you reply.
But in all system requirements on the web for this tool, we can read :
"Operating systems: Microsoft Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003 SP2"
Why if it is not possible with Win 7 ?
Is there a repository database for this tool like Business Objects ?
Thanks.

In Regedit, on the left-hand side of the screen, navigate as far as Navigate through the tree to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager.
Now look for "PendingFileRenameOperations" in the values on the right-hand side of the screen.

Connection error -2147217387 with Java RAS SDK and Crystal Server 2011

Due to a change in operating system, we are required to upgrade our Crystal Reports server from BusinessObjects Crystal Reports Server 11.5 to SAP Crystal Server 2011. We use the Java RAS SDK (RASCore 9.2.2.446 / RASApp 9.0) more or less as described in Java RAS2008-unmanaged exportreport. We use the Crystal Server to export reports stored on disk as PDF files.
In SAP Crystal Server 2011, the CrystalReports2011ReportApplicationServer is configured with Request Port 1566 and Host Identifier 172.16.4.154 (the local machine). The Crystal Server, report-definition files, and Java VM are all on the same machine.
The error is

Crystal Server with SAP Business One Crystal

Hi,
We have installed Crystal Reports Server 2008 on a server which already had Crystal Reports 2008 (12.1.0.892) (Fix pack 3, SAP Business One version) installed, as well as SAP Business One 8.8.
This is the first time we have dealt with the CR Server application.
The CCM & the CMC are running fine as are all the services.
When running CR 2008 and choosing Save As: Enterprise, the error message "No authentication plugins are installed" appears.
The Business View manager pops up a log on box and no authentication methods appear in the drop down box.
Is it possible the SAP install has corrupted the Crystal Server install, as the authentication plug in dll's do appear to be missing from the server.
The same issue arises when istalling the client tools on a client which has the same designer version installed, but not on a client which has on older version installed.

Resolved by uninstalling everything Crystal related, deleting the Business Objects folers, then reinstalling starting with Crystal Server.
The install of the B1 specific versions must not contain some necessary files, which are then not installed by the other products

1st scenario
When in a runtime, it's keep appear a dialog box. This dialog box ask me to suppy Server, User ID, Password and Database. Once all information is supplied, my report display the data as expected
2nd scenario
I change my report using OLE DB (ADO) -> Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server -> checked on Integrated Security. I just choose Server, and Database. I assume me using Windows Authentication
When in a runtime, there's no dialog box as above. My report display the data as expected. really cool
Look's like, when report using SQL Server Authentication there's some problem. but, when report using Windows Authentication, it's fine.
I'm looking for comment. Please help me

Hello,
MS SQL Server 2008 requires you to install the MS Client Tools for 2008.
Once install then update all of your reports to use the SQL Native 10 as the OLE DB driver.
The try again, if it still fails search, lots of sample log on code in this forum.

It is 32bit but runs on 64bit (eg. Windows) also as long as the required 32bit libraries are available on the machine.
