Strange problem with publication based on crystal reports, bwquery and DynR

Hi everybody,
I found the following behaviour when executing a publication based on a crystal reports document ontop of a BW query and dynamic receipients. This is what the personalisation looks like:
_____________________Default Value
PARAM1____________ null____________ @param1 based on my dynamic receipient list
PARAM2____________ null____________ @param2 based on my dynamic receipient list
PARAM3____________ 10____________ Default value for all receipients
When executed this happens:
- the publication starts
- the query is executed with the default values for the parameters
- the query is executed for every receipient with the correct, personalised parameter values
I am sure, the the query is executed with non personalised values because a) there is a cache entry on bw site and b) when one of the parameters is filled with an invalid default entry under personalization I get an bapi error.
I am not 100% sure but I think this problem is new since SP3 or a 3.x fixpack. Has anyone faced the the same problem yet? Maybe Ingo knows something about it.
Thank you very much in advance!
Kind regards,
Thorsten

Hi Ingo,
thank you very much for your reply. I am speaking of the default value entered under personalization in the publication in CMC or InfoView.
The report only has parameters based on BEx varialbes.
If needed I can post some screenshots.
Kind regards,
Thorsten

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

Problem with keydecoder.dll in Crystal Reports 2008 Trial Version

Hello,
My company is interested in purchasing Crystal Reports 2008 and has asked me to download and try the trial version. However, I have been running into a keydecoder.dll problem. Setup was smooth and here are the details:
Problem message:
"Crystal Reports: Application Error Couldn't load keydecoder.dll"
I have Windows Vista and I have already configured all permissions and administrative rights to the problem to full control. I have also attempted to drag the keydecoder.dll application extension out of win32_x86 to the file folder crystal reports 2008. I have also already attempted to reinstall and making a new program file location named 'Crystal Reports 2008'.
I'm running out of ideas and would appreciate some help. Thank you

Hi Key,
I have found a business objects Note 1198801.
Please have a look to it.
We can find Business objects Note/KBase from here
[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/advancedsearch?cat=sdn_ossnotes&query=&adv=true#]
For your reference have a look to content of that Note:-
1198801 - Error: "Crystal Reports: Application Error - Couldn't load the keydecoder.dll" when attempting to start Crystal Reports XI
Symptom
When attempting to start Crystal Reports XI, the following error message appears:
"Crystal Reports: Application Error - Couldn't load the keydecoder.dll".
Cause :
The error message occurs because the CommonFiles entry has the wrong path in the registry.
Resolution :
CAUTION The following resolution involves editing the registry. Using the Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall the Microsoft Windows operating system. Use the Registry Editor at your own risk. It is strongly recommended that you make a backup copy of the registry files before you edit the registry. For information on how to edit the registry key, view the 'Changing Keys And Values' online Help topic in the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
To resolve the error message
Click Start > Run. The Run dialog box appears.
Type "regedit" in the Open: text field. Click OK. The Registry Editor appears.
Navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCLAL_MACHINESOFTWAREBusiness ObjectsSuite 11.5Crystal Reports.
Double-click the CommonFiles string. The Edit String dialog box appears.
Ensure that the path points to the location of <installation directory>Common3.5 in.
For example, the default location is the following: C:Program FilesBusiness ObjectsCommon3.5 in.
Edit the path as necessary.
Click OK. Close the Registry Editor.
Crystal Reports starts successfully.
Hope that helps!!

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.

Problems with concurrency tests using Crystal Reports for VS 2005

Post Author: condeagustin
CA Forum: General Feedback
Hi
My name is Agustin and Im using Crystal Reports for VS 2005
and NET 2.0 to generate pdf files. This is the scenario:
I created a COM+ object in c# and everytime the
COM+ creates an instance of this object, the following flow is executed:
it reads an xml file from a database, then it feeds the report with this
xml file, afterwards it generates a pdf file and finally this pdf file is
inserted into the database. Both fields (xml and pdf fields) are varbinary in the
same table in sql server 2005. All the flow from reading the xml to inserting
the pdf into the database is executed in memory, it never goes to the hard
disk. In other words both the xml and the pdf file are stored in memory (the
RAM). That is the only function of that COM+ object and I already have it in a
production server and it works GREAT!!
The PROBLEM is the concurrency tests. I made the following tests
in the same production server:
1. First I went to the registry and I set the PrintJobLimit to
100 in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARECrystal Decisions10.2Report Application
ServerServer
2. I shut down the object in the COM+ and I executed 100
threads all at the same time. Each thread created one instance of the object in
the COM+ and the 100 pdfs were generated SUCCESFULLY in 5 minutes!!
3. Then I executed again 100 threads (WITHOUT shutting down the
object in the com+). 10 pdfs were generated succesfully but the rest were
never generated and there was no exception because my object was NEVER
INSTANTIADED in the COM+, I mean, the 90 instances were never created in the
COM+, so my object was never executed, THAT IS MY PROBLEM!! Do I have to
modify something in the registry files of crystal reports to fix this? What can
I do? I have revised the code in that object a LOT OF TIMES and believe me,
everything is being closed and disposed at the end (the memory streams, the
ReportClass objects, the connection to the database, even the dataset used to
store the data of the xml file!
So to sum up the problem is not with the execution of my object
(cause once is created the object works great and the pdf is generated
perfectly!), the problem is with the com+ TRYING to create another instance
of my object given that test scenario. Help me please, What do you
suggest?
The production server has this specifications:
Operative System: Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 2
Processor: Dual Core AMD Opteron 2212 2.00GHz
RAM: 820MB
Hard drive: It is partitioned in 2 drives --> C
drive has 20GB and D has 60GB
Note: Each generated pdf has only one page and if you bring it
to disk its maximum size is 56KB
I hope your answer and thank you

Problem with subrpt links in crystal reports 8.5 (cr 9 and 2008 installed)

I am trying to add a subreport to an existing CR 8.5 report. I currently have Cr 8.5, cr 9 and cr 2008 on my pc (xp). The subrpt is pointing to a sql 2005 stored procedure that has a parameter (@vvcrCono). When I try to set up the link, the parameter is not listed in the of available parameters to link to. I select a field from the available fields on the main report, hit the > to move it over as a field to link to, and the dropdown that contains the list of parms to link to on the subreport will change to ?pm-(fieldname). I do not see the parm list from the subreport. I am unable to get the link defined. This occurs even when trying to edit an existing subreport.
Is there a problem with running these crystal report versions on the same machine? Or am I just missing something? It has been a while since I've used cr 8.5.

Joanne, thank you for your posted solution and specifically your mention of miniscule scroll bar of the 'subreport parameter field to use' drop down, I had been on several forums but none of them mentioned this, my subreport now accepts the passed parameter and main report works well. Hope your post helps others as it did me, only wish we could include a graphic to illustrate this as I have seen same question posed several times and several different msg boards.

Problems with Query Properties in Crystal Reports

I have with the following features of my queries either problems or theyu2019re just not usable in Crystal Reports:
-     If I want to use more than one hierarchy.
-     If I want to use a selection on a hierarchy.
-     All my hierarchies are always just a flatten list.
-     If I want to use a predefined structure in a field.
-     If I want to use any hierarchy versions .
-     And if I want to use default / preselected values for variables in the prompt.
Are there any solutions or workarounds for these problems known?
I already tried to connect Crystal with the SAP BW via a Universe, via a direct connection and also via the SAP Integration Kit (with the MDX-flag set to active).
Thanks a lot for helping me!

Problem with 'B1 Tables' in Crystal Report

Hello all,
In Crystal reports, when selecting database for My reports I cannot use the entry 'B1 Tables', the one that displays using the hierarchy sorted like the Business One menu. When I try to expend it, Crystal reports stops working and creates the following event message:
Faulting application crw32.exe, version 12.1.3.1028, time stamp 0x4991a897, faulting module crdb_b1.dll, version 8.80.228.0, time stamp 0x4bb3a8fe, exception code 0xc0000409, fault offset 0x000023e9, process id 0x16a8, application start time 0x01caec1ad0067bc8.
I am using Business one 8.8 PL09 and Crystal reports Basic 2008 for Business One (version 12.1.3.1028) and the fixpack_03
The only other option is to select tables directly from the dbo.Tables which gets the long list
Thanks for your ideas
Marc

Hi,
I have the same problem : once I have created an SAP Business One connection in Database Expert, I cannot display the list of tables, and it throws me a failure application error (crw32.exe) and close CR.
Did you find a solution to this problem ?
I'm using CR 2008 SP3 (trial version), Business One 8.8, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and Windws XP Pro SP3.

Thank's for your help.

Have you downloaded & followed the SAP Crystal documentation for 8.8? There are a number of changes in how we need to do things.
Also, optional parameters do not work & neither to default values in parameters. These are still to be fixed

Problem with bar graphs in Crystal Report

Hi All,
I am currently working on bar graphs and i am facing problem displaying trend in the graph when there is no data for any particular date.
My X-axis has date and y-axis has data.
I want to display all the dates on x-Axis which is selected by the user.
E.g. User has selected fromDate and ToDate as 1st Aug to 10th Aug and I have Data as follows
08/01/2008 abc
08/03/2008 xyz
08/05/2008 klm
Currently my graph just shows data for 1st,3rd and 5th of August.
I want my Graph to show all the dates from 1stAug to 10thAug on x-axis and it should not only show data where it is but also a blank where data is not present
Please help. Thank you.

Hi Tenzin
Following are the steps from where you can change the division of the axes:
Right click on the report.
Go to 'Chart Expert' -> 'Axes' tab.
Select the Manual option under 'Number of divisions'.
Change the settings so that you can get each date on the axis.
Hope this helps you.
Please let us know if you have any further queries.

Strange problem with mac mini hdmi, denon avr 3310 and itunes

Hello,
I just bought the new mac mini with HDMI. It is connected via HDMI to my receiver Denon AVR 3310. The receiver shows that it has "multi channel in" on the display.
I made all the configurations so that i can watch dvd an the mac mini. When i play a movie with Dolby Digital the receiver does show that on the display and playback is possible without any problems. I hear sound on all my 5.1 speakers.
The big problem is with iTunes. When I want to watch rented series, for example Dr. House, only 2 speakers of my 5.1 are used. And when I change to surround in iTunes I can only hear static noise.
What is the problem? Did I make a wrong configuration or is something wrong with iTunes?
Thanks in advance

Great news! My Mac mini is sending true 5.1 to my reciever through the HDMI cable! Okay so here's my list of gear.
MAC MINI 2011 2.5 i5 8gb ram
Using a quality audioquest hdmi I have connected my Mac mini to my Denon 1712 Reciever. I have connected this hdmi cable into hdmi port entitled game 2. I have connect my reciever to my tv with a monster 1000 hdx thx certified hdmi cable. It has a transmission sped of 17 gb or so...meaning it can handle transmitting 3d...if only I had a 3d tv.
Okay so that's the gear. Now onto the changes in audio midi. Open audio midi and Simply change it to 48000 hz and to 2 channel 16 bit integer. That's all I did and now it works. Before I had it set to 8 channel 24 bit and when I pulled up my surround sound options I could pretty much only get multi channel stereo. Now I can get several Dolby choices.
The voices are coming out of the center speaker and all the action is coming out of the other speakers....so in other words 5.1 surround sound has been achieved on my Mac mini 2011 which has Lion on it.
I have tested this with iTunes and Netflix. Both are in 5.1 and sound great. In iTunes I have tested both music and digital copies of movies. Both worked flawlessly.
Rejoice Mac mini owners 5.1 surround is now possible over your Mac mini 2011 edition with just an hdmi cable to your reciever. You can throw away that toslink cable becuase now you don't need it!
I hope this works for you. Remember not all hdmi cables and the same holds true for your reciever. If it does not work consider getting either audioquest or monster....everything else is junk.

Unexpected behaviour for Crystal Reports 2011 and publications

I had publication based on crystal reports 2008 hosted on a bobj 3.1 box.
The report was reporting off a BW Query and the publication list was also based on a BW query.
When it ran is successfully drop the reports on a share in pdf format.
I've upgraded the crystal reports to 2011 and they are now hosted on bobj4.0 box. I can run both reports successfully on their own.
Now I try to create a publication.
I am able to select the source report, but as soon as I try to select my the report for my dynamic recipients I get the following error message
Cannot open report document. --- Item SI_FALLBACK_LOCALE was not found in the collection. [CRCAF00000004]
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
You do not state the patch level of the BI4.0 system, I would advise you to test with one of the later BI4.0 Patch levels i.e. Patch 2.4 or Patch 2.5 if possible as there have been some fixes in relation to publications which may help.
Alternatively can you open the Dynamic Recipient report in the CR2011 designer, refresh it, republish it back to BI4.0 repository. Then schedule the Dynamic Recipient report on it's own and try recreating the publication again - does it work?
The error:
"Cannot open report document. --- Item SI_FALLBACK_LOCALE was not found in the collection."
suggests there is some kind of mismatch between the locale used in the upgraded CR2011 report and the BI4.0 system.
Were the XI3.1 environment and the BI4.0 environment installed with the same selection of Language Packs? If not you could bring the BI4.0 system in line with the XI3.1 system in terms of language packs and retest. However as Language Packs can not be added post BI4.0 installation that would require a reinstallation of BI4.0.
Also if you create a simple test Dynamic Recipient report in BI4.0 does this work? That would at least confirm there is some type of corruption in the migrated BI4.0 Dynamic recipient reports.
Kind regards,
John

Problem while exporting to PDF with japanese character in Crystal Report X1

Hi,
I am using Crystal report X1 with classic ASP on a Windows 2003 Enterprise Server, SP 2. In my application, I have to export the report into PDF, CSV, DOC formats. I am have Japanese strings in the report. While exporting to PDF, empty boxes has displayed in the place of Japanese string and in CSV file, question mark has been displayed instead of Japanese string. But the Doc file is exported correctly. I have not installed any language support software either in server or in client machine. I have used MS Gothic and Arial Unicode MS fonts for the text-objects which has Japanese strings.
Please give me a solution so that I will get PDF file with Japanese strings instead of empty box or question mark.
Do I need to install any language support pack software?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Manju

Hi Don,
Thank You for your reply. I have resolved the issue of exporting to pdf from crystal report X1 having Japanese data after installing the language pack.
But when I am exporting to CSV or TXT, i am getting ??? instead of Japanese characters. I have tried "export" through crystal report designer and got ??? instead of Japanese.
The Crystal report version I am using is Crystal report X1 11.0.0.1282
Crystal Report Desinger is installed in Windows Xp machine
Font set for Text object is Arial Unicode MS, MS PMincho, MS PGothic
Does the Crystal report X1 11.0.0.1282 has the UTF-8 support for CVS / txt
Please provide me a solution
Thanks in advance,

Manju

Crystal Reports export and print fails with SSL / https but works with http

Windows 2008 Server, 32-bit (IIS7)
ASP.NET 2.0
Ajax 1.0
Crystal Reports version 10.5.3700.0
http: printing works, export works
https: printing not working, only export to MS Excel and MS Word work.
I am able to generate reports using both http and https, and the toolbar icons are all showing. However, I am unable to print or export properly with SSL.
Printing prompts me with a select printer window, and then a window 'Retrieving Page 1' follow by two messages from Crystal Print Control both stating:
A communication error occured. Printing will be stopped.
Exporting generates various errors depending on which export method is being selected (however Excel and Word work over https).
I've found the same problem on this site and other forums, but never a resolution to get exporting and printing to work with SSL. Will someone please provide me assistance or possibly relay what settings they're using if they have Crystal Reports export or printing working over SSL in IIS7? Everything works fine when I change the address from https to http.
Please let me know if I can help by providing further information. We've gone through a great deal of possible solutions with code and I'm currently looking in to IIS settings again.
Thank you.

Thanks Ludek. I got it by searching KB number.
Unfortunately, it didn’t fix my problem even my IE (IE8 and IE 9) has correct setting. I double check my version. PrintControl.CAB is version 10.2.0.1146. we use VS 2005 Crystal report and VB .NET. It works fine on HTTP. But when we use HTTPS (SSL Certificate from go daddy).
1: Crystal report export
            Export to MS Excel, Word: pop us “File download”, then click “Save”. It says “Internet Explorer cannot download ReportView.aspx from my site. Internet Explorer was not able to open this internet site. the requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try it again later”
            Export to RPt, Rich text format: It says “Internet Explorer cannot download ReportView.aspx from my site. Internet Explorer was not able to open this internet site. the requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try it again later”
            Export to PDF : nothing happened.
2: Print:
            Pop up dialog to select printer, click “Print” “. Shows windows “Crystal Report Viewer” and pop us error message box. Title is “Crystal Print Control”. Message is “An communication error occurred. Printing will be stopped”. Click “OK” and pop up error message box again.
Please advise.
Thank you very much!
