A strange issue on PL/SQL and Crystal report

A Crystal rpt file (version=8.5) is called through CRAXDRT.DLL by a VB6 exe. This rpt file has two linked sub-reports. There are 3 Oracle stored procedures behind the main report and two sub-reports. I found that the stored procedure behind the main report is always called twice within the same Oracle session when the VB based report is run. Did someone else ever meet the similar situation and know why?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your response. In fact, the stored procedure for the main report is responsible for querying data and inserting them into a oracle table (report table); the stored procedures for the sub-reports only summarize the data stored in the above report table. The main stored procedure are not called in the stored procedures for the sub-reports. I attach a field consisting of the current Oracle PL/SQL session number and system time to each recod in the report table. So I can trace the process of inserting data by the main stored procedure and found that the main stored procedure actually insert the same data twice within the same Oracle session.
Thanks

Issues with Microsoft Vista and Crystal Report XI R2 with SP2

Hi,
I have an application which works fine on XP but fails to work on Vista. When I go to view a report I get the following error:
"The request could not be submitted for background processing."
I have searched a great deal but most solutions to this problem affect other versions or are for different reasons (ie. also do not work on XP). My report viewer works as expected on XP, but not on Vista.
I have installed SP2 for CRXI R2 which should enable compatibility with Vista. I am using Visual Studio 2005.
Anyone have any ideas or come across Vista problems?
MS Vista Business, joined to a domain. 1.7gig. 512 ram. Test machine.
Thanks in advance,
Jon.

The "...background processing..." error can occur for many different reasons, but usually, it's is related to some kind of database connectivity. Are you reports based on ADO.NET? If so, make sure that the data being returned in your ADO.NET object machines the schema used to design the report.
The best way I troubleshoot these types of issues is to simply the app/report. So create a really simple Windows app that loads your reports and has only the necessary code to run your report. And then copy your test app and report to the machine and see if it throws the same error. This would test if it's an environmental issue (ie: runtime files) or if it's something with the logic of your application.
Also, if it's possible, try running the report from the CR Designer on the Vista machine to see if it can run from the designer itself. Of course this means you'll need to install CR if you don't already have it.
Hopefully this puts you in the right direction.

Strange issue with USB mouse and USB headset.

Good day everyone.
I was experiencing a rather strange issue with my mouse and headset(both USB).
I am using KDE and ALSA, if that matters.
They are working just fine, but sometimes, when I try to lower\raise volume, my mouse derps out. I can move it around, but I can't click on anything(sometimes though, I can click on stuff in window that was active before and sometimes only on KDE panel) until I re-plug my headset. Then, nothing can use my headset until I reboot.
Anybody ever had that problem?

I've had similar problems for some time now. Unfortunately, I don't know what the issue is either, but perhaps we can come up with some setup similarities and narrow it down. I have similar trouble with just alsa or with pulseaudio, so that's not it. It is unrelated to the DE, as it happened for me in both gnome 2 and xfce 4. It is not related to the machine either, as the same quirks occur in other machines with the same headset. I have had inconclusive results with downgrading to kernel26-lts, the ancient kernel. I thought at some point it messed up and I was sure the older kernel didnt help, but after trying recently-ish, I had no trouble for days -- until I found that I didn't have trouble on the main kernel either. ... then a few days later, it showed up again. Very irritating!
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=122475
Does my old thread sound like your issue somewhat?
Essentially, at times, if the headset (wireless) is changed into a different power state (unplugged/plugged) or the mic state is toggled (mute/unmute), things that could be clicked on normally cant unless theyre in the window already focused -- mostly.
What headset are you using? 32 or 64 bit arch? Have you tried downgrading to kernel26-lts?

VS2008/VS2005 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer

Hi,
1.) I am using VS2008 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer. Are there any issues I need to consider when developing using both of the above? (or with VS2005)
2.) The confusion for me is in regards to the SDK. From what I understand from articles etc is that using CR 2008 dev we can use the .NET SDK or RAS SDK for development purposes?
3.) So downloaded the sample code for RAS .NET from [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/businessobjects-samples?rid=/webcontent/uuid/80774579-b086-2b10-db91-ed58c4dda375] and tried "DatabaseLogon_CS" example, as the option. It automatically opened in VS2005 (no problem) however it would not run.
I would get an error :
Failed to connect to server "localhost".
Error returned from Windows Sockets API : 0.
and line causing this is >>> rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
Code below:
        string sampleReportPath = @"C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\Samples\en\Reports\Demonstration\World Sales Report.rpt";
        object path = (object)sampleReportPath;
        // Create an instance of the ReportClientDocument.
        ReportClientDocument rcd = new ReportClientDocumentClass();
        // Set the location of the RAS server.
        rcd.ReportAppServer = "localhost";
        // Use the Open() method of the ReportClientDocument to open the report.
        rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
I have been able to open the RPT file by itself. So it does 'see' the database.
Reason why it would not run?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

If you're using the sample code from our website, make sure you have uncommented the InprocRAS option in the ConfigureCrystalReports method (see below). From your error description it seems like you're using the unmanaged RAS option, which requires a RAS server.
private void ConfigureCrystalReports()
        /* The following methods implement the same sample functionality in three different RAS
         * scenarios. Uncomment the method you would like to use.
         * - inprocRAS() logs onto a databse using RAS and SQL authentication.
         * - managedRAS() logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from a managed RAS server.
         * - unmanagedRAS () logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from an unmanaged RAS server.
         * Undocument the call to the method which applies to your appropriate RAS settings.
        DatabaseLogon_inprocRAS();
        //DatabaseLogon_managedRAS();
        //DatabaseLogon_unmanagedRAS();

Views on CF Report Builder and Crystal Report

Dear all,
I would like to get your opinions on CF Report Builder and
Crystal Report.
As we all know, CF Report Builder is a new reporting tool.
But I find it very difficult to design a complex report maybe due
to limitation in its functionalities. Sometimes the tool shutdowns
by itself without any warning and reason. But the output is nicely
presented on a flash paper / pdf and it can be run on non-MS
platforms.
On the other hand, Crystal Report is a more matured product
but runs only on MS platform. It is very easy to use and very
powerful. I have been using it for almost 10 years. But the output
is not nicely presented on the web browser unless if we purchase
Crystal Report Enterprise to generate the report which is very
costly.
Can you all share your views? I need to make decision which
tool(s) to use. Really appreciate it.
Cheers,
Keiko

Hi Keiko,
Yes, CF Report builder is new and initially there was few
issues with this. But I guess now it's good after hotfixes.
Well, I am using CF Report Builder. It's good for me. You can
also design and develop complex reports, that depends upon the
query you are writing. You can also add subreports to your main
reports.
Mainly CF Report is platform independent and you can also
generate reports in PDF, EXCEL and FlashPaper.
Crystal Report is no doubt is very good, and it's there for
long years. I agree you can create complex reports with this, but
you also can do the same in CF also. You are using this for last 10
years, so I guess you should try something new and that is CF
Report Builder and you can judge then.
I am sure you will have fun with CF.
Thanks

Hi Detleff,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Since this forum is to discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio
Editor. Based on your Crystal Reports printing issue, I’m afraid that it is not the correct forum for this issue. Therefore,
I suggest you can ask your issue directly on SAP Crystal Reports:

Vb6 deployment and Crystal Report 8.5

Hi,
I tried to deploy a Visual Basic 6 on a client pc that use Crystal Report 8.5.
Because no merge files exist for this version of Crystal Report I tried to added all the necessary dll in the deploy package (using visual basic 6 tools deployment).
I read the file Runtime.hlp so I added every dll wriiten in this file.
When I run my setup I always have this error :
The program can't start because CRPE32.dll is missing from your computer.
It's strange because I added this dll to my deployment package.
So I don't no what to do anymore.
Need some help to solve this problem because I know it's easier with more recent version of Crystal Report because of the merge file but right now this software need CR 8.5.
Regards,
Hugo

Hi,
Ok here what I'm trying to do.
I have an application Visual Basic 6 that use crystal report 8.5 to export the report in pdf using the dll cradxt.dll by programming.
On the dev pc I have Visual Studio 6.0 and Crystal Report 8.5 installed.
I want to install this software on another PC so I created a deployment package, automatically the pakage added the "necessary" dlls.
But is not enough I need to added more on the client pc so it's hard even if I read the Runtime.hlp that come with Crystal Report 8.5 and I added all the dll it always seems to miss somes.
So I was wondering if a merge module or something exist like the other version of Crystal Reports to install the necessary dlls on a clients pc.
Otherwise what is the best way to do it ?
Regards.

3. Continue to provide current CR 2008 functionality as-is for existing customers
SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.0
1. Major update & redesign of the Crystal Reports Designer and associated processing servers
2. Focus on streamlined report design, reporting against BI 4.0 Universe, & reporting against SAP BW data
3. Provide the foundation for all future releases of Crystal Reports
Differences between these two releases:

Crystal reports and crystal report viewer

Hi.
I have up to recently used crystal report version 11.5 and reports have been made available for users in the organisation via Crystal report viewer.2010 ver 11.2.1.3.
The reports have been saved without data, and the different parameters have been available for the users for them to select approriate dataset,.
I have now upgraded Crystal reports to version 2013 ver 14.1 and crystal report viewer to same version.
The problem now is that the parameters are no longer available for the users, and it is also a requirement to save the reports incl a dataset to even open the report in the new report viewer.
What have I missed? Anyone that can help me ?
brgds Torunn

Hi Torunn
An alternative may be to create a web app using either the Crystal Reports .NET or Java SDK. Depending on what development software you already have, this may be cheaper than CR Server or "BO server". E.g.; both the .NET SDK and the Java SDK are free:
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
SAP BusinessObjects - SAP Crystal Reports, Version For Eclipse Download
The above would be predicated on the assumption that your org has some developer experience (or is willing to acquire it) and that you have the development software (e.g.; VS 2010, or 2012, or 2013 for the CR SDK for .NET).
