Hello,
You can find all of the info for CR for VS 2010 here: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/crystalreports-dotnet
Including the deployment packages etc., distributing the runtime manually is not supported nor has anyone that I know of ever done it successfully.
Make sure you use the Full Framework when building your project and set your project for X86 or x64 only and not the default AnyCPU.
You can use CR with 2.0 framework, actually it still has a dependency on 2.0 framework.
Microsoft doesn't support it as they did in previous versions of VS .NET because it's not installed with VS now. It's fully support by SAP now.
Thank you
Don

I am not really familiar with all of the options for charting and what is or isnt in the bundled version.
You can download the CR XI R2 developer edition eval from the website and see if it gives you the graph options that you want. If it does then I think you can buy it at an upgrade price since you already have the bundled edition.

Crystal Report 13 Visual Studio 2010 SQL Server 2008 R2 ODBC Problem

Hi Everybody,
I am new in Crystal Report.
I developed a web application in Visual Studio 2010, and my Database is SQL Server 2008 R2.
I created reports using Crystal Report 13 in Visual Studio and my Operating System is Windows 7 32-Bit.
I used ODBC Connection System DNS for my application.
It is running fine even after Hosting on my local PC.
But it creates problem when hosted on my Team Leader PC and Test Server.
Their Configurations are same but only difference is "SQL Server 2008" Not R2
The Error I am getting is "Failed to open the connection".
When I Host the same on my another team member PC, I am getting the error like
"Failed to open the connection. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 4060 ] Database Connector Error: ' [Database Vendor Code: 4060 ]' Failed to open the connection. Failed to open the connection. TestVr {CE268132-D2BD-43EC-BE45-0BCD847FBCDA}.rpt Details: [Database Vendor Code: 4060 ]"
I tried various solution to fix this bug.
But i am unable to do this and not getting any idea to fix this issue.
If anyone can guide I will be thankful to him.
All suggestions are appreciable.
Thank you

Hi,
Please use the top right search box. for ex below search which will return many useful kb's, articlea and forum threads where simillar issues are discussed.
[http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?query=failedtoopentheconnection|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?query=failedtoopentheconnection]
Most probably the issue is missing database client driver / provider.
Install the driver used to connect the rpt to the db on the server and then create a 32 bit DSN with the same name as the dev machine..
Hope this helps,

Crystal Report in Visual Studio 2010

Hello,
Our company is using Crystal Report XIR2. We are going to migrate our applications using Crystal Report to Windows Server 2008 (64-bit), we have to upgrade the Crystal Report too as current version does not support 64-bit version. Which version of Crystal Report will be bundled in Visual Studio 2010? CR 2008 or a newer version?
Many thanks,
Peter

"Unknown". Certainly, at this time the info is not available publicly. It may even be the CR is not part of future builds of .NET (?). On the other hand, going by how these bundles have gone in the past, I'd suspect if there is a CR bundle or an add on of some sort, it will be what ever will be the current version minus 1. Will it be as fully featured as the currently shipping CR 2008? Again, go by past bundles. (E.g.; if there is something like CR 2010 out there, the bundle would probably be some variation of CR 2008). Will it be 64 bit? Again, consider the history; bundles that come with .NET 2005 and .NET 2008.

License for Crystal Report for Visual Studion 2005

Hi All,
I am developing reports for my application using crystal reports for VS 2005. I read on microsoft site (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318102 ) that the free server software supports three active requests to the server. It further says that developer will need to purchase additional licenses to increase scalability. I think that our application would need the additional license. However, i was unable to find a link on business objects site were i can buy the additional license for crystal report for VS 2005. The link takes me to license for Crystal report 2008. It would be great if you can answer my following questions:
- what version of crystal reports do we need to purchase?
- do we need license for each implementation or do we need license for the developers only.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Abdul

Great questions! Let's get at em, one at a time:
How would you define a print job?
- A print job will essentially be consumed any time the print engine (crpe32.dll) needs to do work. So, processing one report = a print job. However, say you have one subreport, now the number of print jobs = 2. Now, say the subreport is in the details section and runs once per record. And you have 100 records. You will be running 1 + 100 print jobs. Paging to another page consumes a print job. Zooming consumes a print job, exporting and printing to a printer consumes a print job. So, depending on the report and the number of users, print jobs may be used up quite quickly. You can increase the print job limit by modifying the PrintJobLimit in the registry. For CR 2008, the reg entry is here:
HKLMsoftware usiness objectssuite 12.0
eport application serverinprocserver
(the above is used irrespective of the SDK (CR, RAS, BOE))
I am not using report viewer to render the report. I use 'ExportToDisk' method to save the report in word or pdf format. Does 'ExportToDisk' make one print job?
- see above. Again, if the report has a subreport, this will consume at least two print jobs.
How much time does a typical print job takes to complete?
- no way to tell in general terms. There are too many variables that will affect this. From how complex the report to database connections to version of runtime
What care shall I take to reduce the print job time?
- Best you can do is ensure that you are destroying the report object once you are done with it (report.close, report.dispose)
Will using Report Application Server (RAS) or Business Objects Enterprise increase the number of concurrent print jobs? If yes then by what amount?
- no it will not
To utilize Report Application Server (RAS) or Business Objects Enterprise, do I just need to use a specific SDK or is there some thing more to it?
- You do need to use the RAS assemblies for RAS, BOE assemblies for BOE. More information is below.
Sample RAS apps:
https://boc.sdn.sap.com/samples/84/1194
An article on RAS:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10b840c0-623f-2b10-03b5-9d1913866b32

156" width Crystal Report with Visual Studio 2005

Post Author: kunchesm
CA Forum: .NET
Hi,
I have a requirement to design a 156" width report (for exporting to Excel). And naturally i dont have printers to support this huge width reports (as these reports are not used for printing but just for exporting to Excel).
One of the option which i have tried to design these reports is -
- Installed MIcrosoft XPS Document writer and
- Created a new server form (in Printers&Faxes>File>Server Properties) and assigned my custom width & Height for the paper size as per my requirement
- Used this printer and form in my crystal report
Now, my question... is there any better alternative or option to design huge width Crystal reports in Visual studio 2005? Any help in this regard is highly appreciated!
Thanks & Regards
ksm

Hi Ganesh,
So it all depends on how you created your WEB Project. If it was a CR Web App then no issues, if it was a WEB Form app then no issues except you need to copy the whole folder: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\VS2013WebsiteCR\aspnet_client
to your app folder, maybe...
If it was an empty WEB app then it may be an issue with permissions ( more on this soon once we do some testing, R&D may have provided a work around to get IIS Express to work, not sure about using IIS directly.
Also search on Sessions and PostBacks, to get the second page you need to keep the session open/active. If not you may get nothing ot the same page everytime.

Crystal Reports using Visual Studio

I am becoming more comfortable with working with Crystal Reports using Visual Studio. I ran into some issues, but I was able to figure them out. I have ran into one which I am not able to figure out. I would like for you to ask Business Objects if they can assist me on this one. When the reports are displayed, a group tree is displayed to the left of the report making it possible for users to navigate through the reports. As you continue to click down through a branch, eventually you are not able to see what to click on or to click on the next link. What could be done to fix this issue?

Hi,
Have you checked the crystal report in designer mode? If not, try doing it.
Further, you can provide following:
1)Windows or Web Application?
2) Version of Crystal Reports?
3) Version of Visual Studio?
4) OS (32 bit or 64 bit)?
Thanks,
Saurabh

Hi,
Are you talking about the fields coming from the Data Source Explorer?.
If "Yes" then there is no such limits.
Are you able to run the report through the eclipse designer?

DB2 support for Crystal Reports for Enterprise And Unx errors

Hi,
I have a requirement to create a report in CrystalReports for Enterprise 4 sourcing data from Oracle 11 and IBM DB2 V9 databases. My first approach is to create relational connections for both the databases in the BO Repository (using Universe designer) and use them directley in the CR for Enterprise. Here I was able to create the two connections but unable to use the DB2 connnection in the report. I get the below error:
"The Database DB2V9 is not supported".
Is DB2 is a supported database for Crystal reports for Enterprise ??
My second approach is to create a multisource universe using IDT. Here when I try to create the Datafoundation layer, I get to see the tables from the DB2 databasae but When I expand the Oracle connection, I get this error: "conversion from UTF8 to charset failed: encoding not loaded".
Im unable to create a multisource universe at all no matter what connections I use.
Here is some additional info:
SAP BI4.1 SP1
Windows 2008 R2 servers
Oracle 11g
IBM DB2 V9.7
Any suggestions please!
Thanks,
Ravinder

Hi,
First of all I would strongly advice you to only use IDT for your universe development. The old Universe Designer is a legacy tool and should not be used unless you are using products that doesn't support IDT universes.
The issue you are facing for your Oracle connection is likely caused by a missing path variable.
Add "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64" to the PATH environment variables on the SAP Business Objects Enterprise server.
Restart the SIA
NOTE: Modify the path in case the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise is installed in different folder.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Josh

Loading rdf report in Visual Studio 2010

hi,
I have to migrate our reports to the visual studio 2010 framework. I converted my oracle reports (.rdf) to xml format using rwconverter. Then I tried to run one of them from a WPF application using Process.Start("report.xml"); but it only displays the xml source code. I also tried to use a XMLtoPDF converter which parse a xml file and generate the PDF report; but it doesnt fit with the xml structure generated by rwconverter.
Does somebody know how to run the xml report under Visual Studio 2010? thank you

CRVS2010 Beta - Licensing for "Crystal Reports for VS 2010"

Hello,
We have Crystal reports 2008 developer license which was upgraded from Crystal reports 11 Developer edition.
We have migrated to VS 2010 and need to use "Crystal Reports for VS 2010". But we only need to use the runtime version of it and are not using the crystal reports designer. Do we need to purchase/upgrade the license? If yes, then could you please let us know the details?
Thanks,
Gulab.
Subject modified as per the sticky post at the top of this forum; [Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 Beta - read before posting|Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 Beta - read before posting;
Edited by: Ludek Uher on Sep 9, 2010 6:56 AM

CRVS 2010 being a Beta, I am not sure that the licensing details have been worked out yet. However, going by past versions;
Runtime is free for win apps
Runtime is free for web apps - as long as these are used internally. See [SAP Crystal Reports Licensing Information|http://www.sap.com/solutions/sap-crystal-solutions/query-reporting-analysis/sapcrystalreports/licensing/index.epx] for more details.
The above 2 I suspect will be carried over to CRVS 2010 - no guarantees, but this would make sense.
Runtime for web apps deployed to 3rd parties does require extra licensing. The licensing for versions of CR that bundled with .NET 2006 and .NET 2008 are described here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317789
I'll check with Program Management if all of the above applies and confirm once I get an answer.
