TruncateClippedFieldStrings for Crystal Reports Server 2008?

When we were running Crystal Reports XI, we had to add the registry key "TruncateClippedFieldStrings" on our server, because text fields on Crystal Reports were overlapping rather than truncating.  Now that we are on Crystal Reports Server 2008, we are having the same problem.  Does anyone know if this same fix applies to Crystal Reports Server 2008, and if so, do I also have to change the Crystal Reports Page Server (which I don't see in 2008) and Crystal Reports Report Application Server?
Thanks,
jeff

Hi,
     Yes, it is there. Just need to click on the right link. Try this
Support Portal -> Software Downloads -> BusinessObjects Downloads -> Support Packages and Patches-> C -> Crystal Reoprts Server 2008 V1.....
     Yes, this is very tedious but I just checked and can confirmed SP3 is there.

  • Crystal Reports Server 2008 dispose not closing document

    Hey everyone,
    I;m running some reports through Crystal reports 2008 server (no service packs) using the RAS sdk and Java.
    This was working swimmingly for a while until yesterday when the server hosting the RAS and app server fell over. I tracked it down to a problem with the RAS server. The error i got in my logs was General Exception, Report SDK Exception Not enough memory for operation.  I reran the process and when i watched task manager the memory being allocated to crystalras.exe went through the roof! it went from 50k to 1.8g of ram in under 10 minutes.
    I tried lots of the other suggestions in here for the errors about memory that are similar to mine (increasing the heap memory etc.) and none of them worked.
    One thing i noticed though is that when I run the process and watch the metrics page of the RAS server on the management console the number of Open documents does not decrease even though i am 100% totally and utterly calling .close and .dsipose after every report i open. Definitely. Ive debugged it a million times and it is calling these methods. It is successfully releasing the connections fine but does not seem to releasing the open documents. After the Open documents metric went down to 0 (im presuming after a timeout) the memory that crystalras.exe was reduced. I then  changed the timeout tag in CRConfig.xml to 1 minute to see would this help out any but the open documents did not timeout any faster.
    Would i be right in thinking that these open documents would be causing my problem of the aggregated memory? Im at my wits end here so any piece of help is greatly appreciated!

    Hi Ted,
    Thank you for getting back to me, i was on vacation there for a while so that is why i didnt get back to you.
    When I call reportClientDocument.isOpen() just before i dispose of the report it is true and after i dispose of it it correclty returns false.
    I am really stressing out over this as we are reduced to running 500 reports through the server (one after another) and then stopping the process and restarting the RAS server and then running another 500 reports.
    crystalras.exe gets up to about 2g of ram consumed for only 500 reports.
    I even changed some of the timeout settings on the settings page of the management console to see would they timeout and release the memory but alas it didnt release as much as a byte. I left it for 3 days and it didnt deallocate one piece of memory.
    Im currently investigating is there some way from my code that I can restart the RAS server, either through the SDK or through a windows process or scheduled task.
    Ted, as far as i can see there are no service packs for Crystal Reports Server 2008, is that right? when i go to the downloads page there only ones listed for release X1.
    Thank you for your help.

  • How to get past Crystal Reports Server 2008 Linux install error

    Hi,
         During the install of Crystal Reports Server 2008 on Red Hat Linux we select use an existing DB (Oracle) and it prompts for:
    Crystal Reports Server 2008 Setup
    Enter the information for your new CMS
    Oracle TNSNAME :
    [SANDBOX                     ] *
    User ID :

    Password :
    which then gives me:
    Crystal Reports Server 2008 Setup
    ERROR
    Failure to validate the database credential has a potential to crash the database at a later stage. Enter the correct information.
    It doesn't let me get past this and just send me back to the previous screen.  I've check and re-checked and the information TNSNAME, User ID, and Password are all correct.  Now I can exit out the install and sqlplus to the database just fine with all that same information.
    What does this error mean?  And how do I get past it?
    Thanks,

  • Crystal Report Server 2008 V1 is there a SP3

    I know that BO EDGE and CRS tend to be behind the ENTERPRISE product when it comes to patches and service packs.

  • Crystal Report Server 2008 Named User License

    Hi,
    Where can I find pricing info for Crystal Report Server 2008 Named User License?
    This is for an existing Crystal Report 2008 Server installation, which was initially licensed with CAL. The user would now like to add dedicated NUL clients.
    I found the following in the online store, but that includes a server license, which is not required in this case.

  • Please help with my crystal reports server 2008 trial setup

    Firstly, if this is in the wrong section feel free to move it. I find this forum is to big to find the information i need, in fact trying to find anything i need on this website is almost impossible. So far not impressed with SAP at all! we download a trial and when we have problems nobody can support us and we have to post in the forums for answers, which i find disgracefull to be honest. So this post is my last attempt of finding the answers to my problems or we are going to forget crystal reports server for good! I was also told that if i wanted help setting this up then i would have to pay, thats not how things usually go when we download a trial of any software!
    Anyway, rant over!!
    Right, we have windows server 2008 and have installed crystal reports server 2008. So far all i have managed to get working is the reports themselves which run and schedule fine. The dashboard and business views are so confusing i just dont get it at all, the manuals dont help either becuase they are rubbish basically. But my first problem is trying to get windows AD authentication working! easier said than done. I have spent 4 days trying to get it working but nothing is happening. this is what i have done so far
    Set up all the options in the CMC to enable AD authentication, mapped a few groups one of which i am a member of.
    Then i setup the krb5.ini file like below (removed my server name and domain name)
    [libdefaults]
        default_realm = DOMAIN.CO.UK
        dns_lookup_kdc = true
        dns_lookup_realm = true
        udp_preference_limit = 1
    [realms]
    DOMAIN.CO.UK = {
        kdc = DC.CO.UK
        default_domain = DOMAIN.CO.UK
    i also have that other file bscLogin which looks like this...
    com.businessobjects.security.jgss.initiate {
    com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required;
    The server inteligence agent has been set to use the same username as i specified in the CMC which is also the service principal name and the administartion name
    i have set the web config file to use SecWINAD as default, i have also set it to give the option of enterprise, win ad etc in a drop down list
    i have gone round in circles for days following the instructions, and nothing is happening
    Also i dont see any usernames within the groups i have mapped , am i supposed to see any? am i supposed to add them manually?? if so, whats the point in that?
    So now everytime i try to log in i get this error message
    Account Information Not Recognized: Active Directory Authentication failed to log you on. Please contact your system administrator to make sure you are a member of a valid mapped group and try again. If you are not a member of the default domain, enter your user name as UserName@DNS_DomainName, and then try again. (FWM 00006)
    There is also another error message i get, which isnt coming up right now but it says somthing along the lines of could not authenticate at this time (FWM 00005)
    i fail to see what im doing wrong. I shoudl also point out that the username i am using for everything is our own network admin password!
    any ideas on things to check before we give up with this all together?

    Hi Roberto,
    With the changes when SAP took over BusinessObjects the support packaging also changed. It's the way it is now but we are moving to and giving as much options as we can. SAP works on the Self Serve practice. the info is available but you have to find it, which is another thing we are working on to improve for BOE/CRS.
    Best place to start is in the CMS link off the start menu, You'll find the Admin Guide and Setup/Configuration Guides. You can also find all of the latest info and updates to those guides from help.sap.com then click on the SAP BusinessObjects tab along the top and then on the left click on All Products and then filter on your version.
    Once the Firewalls and Domains and your CRS Server is added to the Trusted Domains and ports opened to allow CRS to talk to the DNS Server CRS will begin to load all of the users into it's User Mappings. You still have to add each user or Group of Users but they will be available. Documents does describe how to....
    Once you have the Admin Guide search on Security and it explains in details how to set up and which ports need to be opened etc.
    Thank you

  • Error when running a report in Crystal Reports Server 2008

    Received the following error message:
    Error in File Relatorio4: Failed to load database information.
    Or
    Error
    Failed to open the connection. Relatorio4 Details: [Database Vendor Code:
    12154 ]
    I'm trying to run a report Crystal Reports 2008 in Crystal Reports Server 2008.
    I use the native driver for Oracle (Oracle Server).
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Hi Vilari,
    Do a small test to test your connection.
    -Right Click on desktop ->
    Create new text document->
    Save as test.UDL->
    double click and test connection by selecting driver name,datasource name,user id and password.
    Click on Test Connection.
    It should be succeed.
    Database Vendor Code is the error returned by the database client/server.Its not a Crystal Report Error.Check Microsoft's web site for more info on what that error means.
    Likely the client has not been in stalled or configured or both.
    Also check that proper DSN is configured or not.
    As you are using Oracle make sure that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists and is in the proper place and accessible. See the operating system specific manual for details on the required name and location.
    Check to see that the service name exists in one of the TNSNAMES.ORA files and add it if necessary.
    Make sure there are no syntax errors anywhere in the file. Particularly look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters. Any error in a TNSNAMES.ORA file makes it unusable.
    Hope this helps

  • Do I need to uninstall Crystal Reports Server 2008?

    Hello,
    We recently installed Crystal Reports Server 2008 and began migrating reports off the CR Enterprise 9 platform and things were going pretty well.
    One of our other locations began moving over their reports that are ran against an Oracle database and cannot get passed a connectivity issue. We found the following:
    Oracle connectivity issues
    If you are installing Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1 on a 64-bit Windows
    platform, Oracle database connectivity issues may occur. If Crystal Reports
    Server 2008 V1 is installed to a location that contains brackets in the folder
    path, for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\, it will be unable to connect
    to an Oracle database. Certain Oracle database clients such as version
    10.2.0.2 or 10.1.0.2, may not function properly with any application that
    has brackets in its folder path. When installing Crystal Reports Server 2008
    V1, select an installation path that does not contain brackets, such as
    C:\Program Files x86\ or contact Oracle support for an updated database
    client.
    We of course have everything installed in the default (x86) folder. My question is, is there a way to move the installation, or do I need to uninstall/re-install? If I need to re-install, is there a way to back-up and reload all of my existing jobs?

    Hello,
    CR must have the Oracle client installed. Unless you use a Wired Driver, which has the client engine built in, CR requires a client to be installed. It never has worked without the client installed.
    Also, I've found that if you have more than one Oracle client installed it causes problems. Make sure the first one in the PATH statement points to the latest version of the client.
    And yes you are correct, ODBC is a layer on top of the native client so it will be slower obviously because it has to go through one more layer of dll's to get to the server.
    Thanks again

  • Crystal Reports Server 2008 Repository Database

    We've configured a new CRS 2008 server and have a "failed reports" report that worked in the old Crystal Enterprise 10 environment.   It would query the repository database CMS_InfoObjects table and report failed reports for the day.
    With the new version of Crystal Reports Server 2008 and the new repository database, the ObjName field and others in this table are now varbinary fields.
    How can we query this field like we did with the old version to get our "failed reports" report to work?
    I can't really find any informatin on the structure, etc. or how to query the repository database.

    Unfortunately, you can't query it directly from a report.  You have to use the query language that comes with the SDK.
    I'm not sure whether CRS comes with the same Query Builder tool that comes with BusinessObjects, but if it does you can access it through a url like this: http://<server name>/AdminTools/querybuilder/ie.jsp.
    To get the list of failed reports, you would run something like this query:
    Select SI_NAME, SI_ID, SI_CREATION_TIME
    from CI_INFOOBJECTS
    where SI_INSTANCE = 1
      and SI_SCHEDULE_STATUS = 3
      and SI_CREATION_TIME >= '2010/08/19,00:00:00'
    Unfortunately, there is no way to automate this with the Query Builder.  You would have to manually run this query every day to get the information you're looking for.
    If you can write code in Visual Studio or Java (or have someone available who can do this), this type of thing is not difficult to do in the SDK.  You could handle it a couple of ways:
    1.  Create a program that loads the information to a table in your database and then run a report in CRS that will show that data.
    2.  Create a program that loads the data into memory and runs a report off of the in-memory data.
    Either type of program could be set to run under the Windows Scheduler to automatically provide the information.

  • Connecting Crystal reports server 2008  to BI 7.0

    Hello,
    I  have a BI 7.0 server on Unix machine. I am trying to install crystal reports 2008 on windows 2003 server, and further integrate it to SAP BI by installing SAP integration kit. I have done the below.
    1) Installed crystal reports server 2008 on windows 2003 server.
    2) I can launch the CMS by start programs --> crystal reports server 2008 --> Central Management console.
    3) I enter my user id an password and can see the business object portal with all the entries in it,
    4) I have also installed SAP BOBJ integration kit (XI3.0) as well. It installs successfully. The only difference in the guide and what I did was, it dint prompt me for the CMS information, but it did when I was installing crystal reports server 2008.
    5) Now I am able to connect to CMS, but I donot find the SAP authentication tab, and the server details tab, as per the guide.
    I am a basis admin, and experimenting this for the 1st time. I need to set this up for one of the clients. They want to do some BI reporting through crystal reports. I have installed crystal reports server as of now. The client will now try to access it through CMS , by "InfoView". But CMS isnt giving me SAP auth tab, for me to go ahead and configure the SAP related settings.
    Any inputs on the same will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hi Ingo,
    Thanks for that reply..I am stuck now when I am trying to publish a report. I will summarize, what I have done so faar, just to make it easier to reply.
    1) Installed the BO edge series xi 3.1
    2) Installed Crystal report 2008
    3) Installed the BOBJ/SAP integration kit.
    4) Did the configuration steps as per the manual downloaded from SAP site named:"XI3-1_BIP_SAP_INSTALL_EN.pdf"
    I created create a report, but I am not able to publish it. I am clicking the option to directly publish it to enterprise.But its failing complaining regarding some BI roles..not sure...My BW publisher service is starting fine.
    Only thing is, I have created all the athorizations etc. i can also Log in to CMC with my BW credentials..So I am assuming BOE is atleast talking with SAP. But my my main aim is publishing reports on the server, which isnt happening when I save it with the above option.
    Ok..one more thing, i have not performed the steps for the SAP/BOBJ server side trust..I think this might be the reason as well..Wanted your opinion on it.
    Appreciate your input as always..
    Thanks,

  • Crystal Reports Server 2008 trial install - unable to log into CMC

    Hi,
    I have been looking for a way to host my existing Crystal XI reports on our in house web application rather than using a thick client application with cview. I was told that the options were Crystal Reports Server 2008 or Visual Studio 2008. I have downloaded trials of both and am currently testing.
    After installing Crystal Reports Server 2008, including MySQL DB and Tomcat web server, i am unable to log into any of the applications with the error that:
    Error: Server SCOTTPC:6400 not found or server may be down (FWM 01003) null
    After seeing this i checked the services on my test machine and found that the Server Intelligence Agent was not started. So i tried starting it and recieved the generic windows message:
    Service on local computer started and them stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do ... etc
    After multiple reboots and reinstalls i am still unable to use any aspect of the application as i am unable to log into the CMC as the server is down. Now i am new to Crystal reports and web servers so have a very limited knowledge of whats going on here - i am primarily a DBA. From what i can tell MySQL does not even appear to be installed but i cannot be sure.
    Any suggestions?

    ok... after research it seems a DSN has not been created.
    Also when trying to start the server intelligence service i see the following in the application event viewer:
    [Node Name: SCOTTPC]
    [User Name: SYSTEM]
    Server Intelligence Agent has failed to initialize because the bootstrap file C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\_boe_SCOTTPC.bootstrap is missing information about the CMS cluster. Please restore your bootstrap file from your backup.
    i have recreated the bootstrap file but still get the same error.
    i have SQL Server 2005 installed on this rig as well - could this be causing the issue? Would it be better for me to integrate this to SQL Server rather than using the MySQL DB that comes with Crystal server 2008?

  • 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?

  • Crystal Report Server 2008 - Out of Memory in Event Server

    Hi All,
            We run a Crystal report Server 2008 on a Windows 2003 Server Std Edition, with 4 GB of Memory and enough Harddisk space(C: More than 25 GB and D: around 155 GB).  The Server is running with MS SQL Server 2005 and CRS 2008 on MySQL and Tomcat.  Other than this there is a transactional application running using MS SQL Server 2005 which creates a new database everyday. 
           We have Scheduled reports which were working fine for an year, since last month we were getting the "Out of Memory in the event Server" error and the CRS stops to schedule reports, only after restarting the server and SIA it allows us to schedule the jobs in time.  But this happens every once in 2 days.  Am not sure what is causing this problem.  Currently there are no backup jobs running and no OS Scheduled jobs are running and also no error messages in the Application log other than the "Out of Memory in the Event Server".
           Could anyone help to sort out what may cause this?
    Thanks

  • Transfer reports from Crystal Enterprise 9 to Crystal Reports server 2008

    Hello,
    a decision was made to stand up our new Crystal Reports Server 2008 box and only load new reports to it that were created in Crystal Reports 2008, or ones that were modified in CR 2008.
    Now I have all of my users set up and some reports loaded on the new server. There has been a new decision to now move a couple hundred reports off the old server onto the new and also have the same folder structure and schedules as exists on the old CR 9 server.
    Is there an export/import tool that will allow for this?

    Hi,
    i`m not quite sure if you can do this from CRE9 to CRS2008 with the Import Wizard. I think its only supported beginning with CE10.
    Check the Import Wizard Guide from:

  • Crystal Reports Server XI upgrade to Crystal Reports Server 2008

    I have downloaded the Crystal Reports Server 2008 upgrade from the portal.  Questions:
    The "Upgrading Your Crystal Reports Server Delpoyment from XI or XI Relase 2 to Crystal Rpeorts Server 2008" (simple install) documentation mentions that the installer should recognize my installation and prompt to upgrade.  Instead, the first prompt that I get is for a license key.  Is this normal, or should the application be seeing my existing install?
    If I do indeed need a 2008 license key, how do I obtain one?  It will not accept may CRXI Server keys, and I cannot see anyplace to download the new keys.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    I think you can request for new keys:
    For a new key:
    Request key codes for new orders via SAP Marketplace (SMP), will receive a download letter on new purchases providing them with their SMP login credentials. Using these credentials you can login and click in the "Keys & Requests" tab > Request a License key.
    If your Key code does not work
