Crystal Reports Viewer - pdf, prompts, icons problem

Hi all,
I am a new in BO.
I have some answer about Crystal Reports Viewer (not about setup.exe but about CRV application that I uploaded on Tomcat)
1) The old version (11.5) works good, only Export to PDF functionality is wrong. There are in the pdf file wrong display of specific czech characters (charset)
2) A new version, Crystal Reports Viewer 2008, show the same pdf mistake. I have J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 4 and Apache Tomcat 5.5.9.
I upload application on Tomcat, configuration (web.xml, crconfig.xml and context.xml) is the same with version 11.5.
Crystal Reports Viewer 2008 displayed reports, but the problem with PDF is present. The second problem is the look of CRV. First one, the icons (for export, print...all icons) are not displayd. I can copy old jar files into java (in application folder C:\WebReports\WEB-INF\lib), but then CRV looks like old version.
And CRV 2008 doesn't display listbox in dynamic prompt on crystal report. What shall I set to displaying prompts in CRV 2008 (on CRV or on report in Crystal 2008)?
Have you some idea? What and how can I set and configure application and where?

Hi,
To confirm, are you talking about "Crystal Reports Viewer 2008" http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/reporting/viewer/index.epx
I suggest sending in the report, in the viewer, select "Help" - "General Feedback" and then pick the option to attach the report. In a couple of months there will be a refresh version of this view which will have Czech language support so it would be good if we could test out your PDF issue.
As for showing parameters in the prompt panel in Crystal Reports Viewer 2008, since the viewer cannot refresh the data, make sure the parameter does not used in the record selection formula but only in the saved data selection formula.

Problem on using Crystal Report Viewer on windows application ("specified type is not valid ")

Hi
I am having problem on using Crystal Report Viewer on one of my windows application.
I am not sure how to put the Crystal Report Viewer 11 Control onto the tool box.
I could found a Crystal Report Viewer control on my computer, but it is version 8.5.
I have also found another one which is Called Crytal ActiveX Report Viewer, i don't think it is the one I can use. As when I try to load a dummy report on to the Crytal ActiveX Report Viewer, It return an error. "specified type is not valid"
Please see the Code sample below.
private sub loadReport()
     Dim r as New ReportDocument
     'v is the name of the Crystal ActiveX Report Viewer Control
     r.Load("C:\Report1.rtp")
     v.ReportSource(r) <---It throw error on this line.
End Sub
Could you give me some advice about what have I done wrong, How to check if I have set up the Crystal Report Component correctly in my Visual Studio 2005 Standard edition.
Thanks in advances.
Many thanks
Chi

VS 2005 Standard and Express editions do not come with Crystal Reports; only the Professional and higher editions will have CR bundled. However, I believe you can purchase CR XI R2 Developer and it will give you the components you need to create a VS .NET 2005 application using the Standard edition.

Crystal Report Viewer not displaying properly in on loading

I am using Visual Studio 2012 in Windows 10 with IIS 8.5. I configured Crystal reports properly but when I load the webpage the Crystal report viewer doesn't load properly and the toolbar and other options are not showing. Please help. Following is the problem am talking about:

Hi Zaeem,
Windows 10 is not currently supported. We plan to add it to the supported platform in SP 14 which is planned for sometime end May.
I tried it and make sure you are loading the Viewer and Report in the Page_Init section. Also the CrystalReportsViewer folder must be included in the project.
Try searching and you'll find info on this subject.

Problem showing the crystal report viewer in form after added the component on it

Greetings
I have a problem running a program. I created a form which I added the component Crystal Report Viewer perfecty but during program execution when I call that form my VS 2012 Ultimate show the following error:
Translated:
Failed to create the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. Error: An exception occurred in the type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.Shared.SharedUtils'.
Note: If I remove the component from the form. the applications runs fine when calling the form without the component CrystalReportViewer
It is something related to my VS? o just that the actual version 13.0.9 is not yet compatible?

Report.Show?
How about you try:
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = <path to your report>
Or:
Dim crReportDocument As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
crReportDocument.Load(<path to your report>)
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crReportDocument
Or, if the report is added to the project:
crReportDocument = New test
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crReportDocument

Crystal Report Viewer Microsoft JScript runtime error

When I use the crystal viewer control to render a report on the screen I receive the following error message:
Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object doesn't support property or method 'isObject' ... and the following line is hilighted:
if(!bobj.isObject(json)).
Here is the markup for the test page I'm using
{<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<CR:CrystalReportViewer ID="CrystalReportViewer1" runat="server"
AutoDataBind="true" ReportSourceID="crSource" />
<CR:CrystalReportSource ID="crSource" runat="server">
</CR:CrystalReportSource>
</form>}
I believe I set all info on crSource correctly (report path etc ...) because If I remove the Crystal reports viewer from the page and just use the crsource (i.e crptSource.ReportDocument.ExportToHttpResponse ...) I can export the report OK. Its only when I have the crViewer on the page Is when I recieve this error.

I am using crystal reports 2008, visual studio 2008, windows 7 pro, MS Sql Server 2005, IE9
I uninstalled crystal reports, and reinstalled crystal reports 2008 sp3 (Full build) - No help
When I goto help about visual studio it says crystal reports 2008 (No specific version info)
Assembly cache on the machine has
12.0.2000.0 and 12.0.1100.00 as the vast majority ... a few (Design and Engine) have older 10.5.3700 and so forth (There are so many)
I found this problem on the web with different solutions involving frame work folder or not having IIS setup to server the crystal reports viewer ... this is happening to me on my local development machine using the ASP.Net Develepoment server included with VS2008 ..
Any help you could give me would greatly be appreciated
Thanks in advance

Print Button Not Working if i not inital the Crystal Report Viewer

hiii every body here
i have problem on my web application with framework (4.0)
i use crystal report viewer (crystal report 13) and i installed the engine of crystal report and use dataset as datasource to my report and my report work fine but ....
my problem is :
i cannot export or print my crystal report 13 if i put my code on sub like that :
protected void btn_print_Click ( object sender , EventArgs e )
            SP_testTableAdapter adpter = new SP_testTableAdapter();
            adpter.Fill(ds.SP_test);
            Reports.Learning.CrystalReports.CR_testreport my_report = new Reports.Learning.CrystalReports.CR_testreport();
            my_report.SetDataSource(ds);
            CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = my_report;
            CrystalReportViewer1.DataBind();
when i use this i cannot print or export it say to me login to database fail message although i use dataset not direct database connection that mean it not need to give the report source every use of it the connection of my server details like username , password
but if i put this code to my page load the report run and showing and print correctly , i need to can use print,export and every button on reportviewer toolbar
without put the code that display report on page_load i need to put code on button event only and when i click the button it show the report and can print and export , and not need to use sesssion
need help plz ................

An assumption here is that this is a web app. That being the case, you need to worry about post backs when you print or export. E.g.; almost any action the viewer will cause a post back and thus what ever data you sent to the report is now forgotten. Place the report in session and this will eliminate the issue. Search for KBA 1985571. I document the full code needed there.

Multiple instances of Crystal Reports Viewer possible in WPF?

Hi, I've dragged and dropped three Crystal Reports Viewer controls on my WPF application. The goal is to be able to select up to 3 reports from a listbox and click run to generate the reports simultaneously. When I select just one report, it works fine. However when I select multiple reports it throws errors (object not found, etc). It seems there is a problem with multiple threads. Is it possible to have multiple instances of the Crystal Report Viewer display reports simultaneously? I am using version 13.0.9.1312 from the link below along with VS2013 C# WPF.
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
Thanks,
Syed

I was able to quickly cobble together a two viewer app that looks like this:
The code is like this:
Public Sub New()
        ' This call is required by the designer.
        InitializeComponent()
        ' Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call.
        Dim crReportDocument As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
        crReportDocument.Load("C:\tests\formulas.rpt")
        CrystalReportsViewer1.ViewerCore.ReportSource = crReportDocument
        Dim crReportDocument2 As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
        crReportDocument2.Load("C:\tests\report1.rpt")
        CrystalReportsViewer2.ViewerCore.ReportSource = crReportDocument2
    End Sub
For more details see the document WPF Project Using the Crystal Reports WPF Viewer in 8 Easy Steps
Now a couple of things to keep in mind;
1) The report engine is based on 3 Concurrent Processor License (CPL) model. Meaning you can process at most three reports at the same time. In my test, doing the above code for four reports worked, but the reports are very, very simple - and with saved data. What a "real" world reports will do, I am not sure. I do know that in a web app, the reports are queued up until one report is done and thus a CPL is freed up. You will also need to keep in mind any database connection limits, etc.
2) There is also a Print Job limit. This by default is set to 75. In a nutshell, almost anything done with a report is a Print Job. E.g.; paging, zooming, drilling, searching, etc., etc. In addition subreports are considered to be Print Jobs. Thus a report with one subreport in a detail section that returns a thousand rows of data and therefore running 1000 subreports will error out.
You can read more about Print Job limits here:

Very slow loading time - Crystal Reports Viewer 2008

Hi,
I search this forum to find another thread regarding this issue. Since I've found nothing in particular, I started this one.
We are currently developping a new report engine based on the .Net Crystal Report Viewer. This engine will be used in our applications to show, print and export reports. We based the engine on the Crystal Report 2008 version (12.0.2000). The code is in C#, targeted on the Framework 3.5 SP1. For the CR runtime, we tested on machines with the SP2 and SP3 versions, as well as on a computer with Crystal Report Developper installed (v12.3.0.601) with no runtimes. Since the runtime is in x86 only, the engine is compiled in x86 (not ANY CPU)
When we try to open a report in an application, the first report loading is unusally slower than the others. If I open a report, close it and open it a second time, the second time is much faster than the first. While reading the threads, I realized that the first load implies some assembly loading from the Framework (which is normal).
But since i can take as long as 20-30 seconds to load the first report, I ran some test. Using the System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyLoad event, I've tracked the assemblies being loaded when opening the report and the start time of the loading. I've discovered that, while most of the CR assemblies takes less than 500 milliseconds to load, there is one that takes at least 3 seconds (20 seconds sometimes) to load : BusinessObjects.Licensing.KeyCodeDecoder. Each time I ran the tests, it is the assembly that is the slowest (and by far) among them all.
Prior to this, we were using Delphi with the Crystal Report 10 runtime. We never had such issues. Now, some customers are complaining about this behavior.
For you information, we are using the ReportDocument.Load() method to load documents. Our reports are all dynamically linked to the database with the DataSourceConnections.SetConnection() method. The report is being loaded in the viewer using the CrystalReportViewer.ReportSource property.
Why does it takes so long to load/execute ? Is there something implied with registry keys or Internet access ? Is there a way to speed up things ?
Thanks !

Thanks for your help Don ! :o)
I know that the CR10 runtime was built on win32 and while I knew that the .Net version of the runtime would be slower due to the Framework and .Net architecture, we did not expect such differences between the two methods.
You are right that the hardware could play a great factor here, but since I work on this machine for a few years now and I saw the performance from the old CRPE32.dll and the new .Net counterpart, I am really surprised that there is such a difference. Most of our customers have entry-level desktops and our application always ran well on it, until now.
So, if it is the way that the CR 2008 runtime works, do you know if your developpers optimized this part with the next version (CR 2010) or it is based on the same engine ?
Thanks again for your time !

Crystal Report Viewer navigation slow in ASP

Hi all,
We have a simple asp page that is rendering a report in a crystal report viewer. We are using the using the default parameter panel for parameter selection, and are setting the db credentials in the report document, see code below.
Two things we are seeing.....
First, this isn't a big report, and it seems to take about 20 seconds for the progress bar on the bottom of the Internet Explorer to complete loading
Second, navigating the tree to other nodes is really slow. In the code, the pageload event is firing each time. I tried checking the Page.IsPostBack value, but that is false only for the time the default parameter panel renders, and then the code throws and exception when the actual report is trying to render.
Can you help?
Thanks,
Cindy

                CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rdReport;

Hello Amit,
Thank you for your quick response.
That did help; however, in order for the code to compile, I needed to move the instantiation of the report document out of the IsPostBack loop, as well as the reportdocument.load (or I get that exception again). As a result, I'm then prompted for the db credentials, which we cannot have happen..
Is there another way around this?
Thanks so much,
Cindy

BO XI R2 - "Blank "Crystal Reports Viewer" window - attempt to print report

My company recently set up a Business Object Enterprise XI Release 2 server. On the server are a number of crystal reports that are run interactively by users, through the user console. The expectation is that the user will log on to the BI server, click on the report title, enter the parameters, see a preview of the report in the Crystal Report Viewer, then click the print icon on the Crystal Report Viewer toolbar.
Our corporate standard is current Windows XP SP3, with Internet Explorer 8; By default, users are set up to use the DHTML report viewer. The reports were developed with the Crystal Reports XI R2 report designer, and connect to an Oracle 10g database through Oracle client.
When users attempt to view, then print the reports, the user is able to select the report, enter the parameters, view the report data, and even page through the report preview with no issues. However, when the user attempts to print the report by clicking the print icon on the Crystal Reports Viewer toolbar, a blank "Crystal Reports Viewer" window pops up and remains indefinitely.
The really puzzling thing about this issue is that for about 1/3 of our users, printing will work - a print dialog will appear, allowing the user to select a printer, and when the user clicks OK, the report will print. For the other 2/3 of our users, the blank "Crystal Reports Viewer" window pops up.
I have added the BO XI R2 server's address to trusted sites, adopted the lowest security settings for trusted sites, and enabled all activity I could think of in IE security settings (ActiveX controls-related). I also ran the web site in compatibilitiy mode.
Has anyone on this forum experienced this issue, and does anyone here know how to resolve it?
Thank you,
Bob Gardner

I suspect that this behavior occurs because the client computer is unable to download ActiveX controls.
The report viewer requires the PrintControl.dll to print reports from the client computer. The PrintControl.dll downloads automatically if it has not been previously downloaded on to the client computer, provided that the user that is currently logged on is able to download ActiveX controls.
To enable the download of ActiveX controls on the client computer, perform the following steps:
1) Open your Internet Explorer.
2) From the Tools menu, select Internet Options.
3) In the Security tab, select the web content zone that corresponds to your web application.
4) Click Custom Level.
5) In the Security Settings dialog box, scroll down to find the ActiveX controls and plug-ins section.
6) Select Enable or Prompt for the Download signed ActiveX controls item.
7) The print dialog box will now appear successfully when clicking the print button in the report viewer.
If the above does not help, try to troubleshoot this as follows:
1) click the print button (this will cause a postback to the web page) and then cancel the print dialog. right-click in the web page and select "View Source".
2) Search for the word "printcontrol.cab". This will show you where the application is trying to download the printcontrol from.
Paste the URL into a browser.
3) If you get prompted to "open or save to disk" the url is correct and there is a browser setting or possibly even a system policy preventing the download.
4) If you get a "404 page not found" or a similar error message, investigate the URL.
5) If the issue is on your local web server, see if it is possible to browse to the URL in IIS manager.

WPF Styles and WPF Crystal Reports viewer

Hi,
We are currently developing a WPF application which will utilize Styles created with Expression Blend.
Our environment is VS2010 SP1 and Crystal Reports for VS2010 SP2.
We want to design our reports with Crystal Reports but we don't seem to find any documentation or topics about integrating WPF Styles with the current WPF Crystal Reports Viewer.
So I was wondering if somebody here already tried to use WPF styles with the WPF CR Viewer.
If so, how does it basically work?
Thank you in advance.

Hello Alan
This morning I got a short note on the issue from Program Management. In a nut shell this is what they say:
..at this time the WPF viewer doesn't expose support for styles and the best thing will a post
to the idea on [SAP IdeaPlace|SAP Idea Place|https://ideas.sap.com/community/products_and_solutions/crystalreports]. Based on the interest level expressed there the PM group will make a decision on how best to proceed.
Obviously, this is not going to be a swift process, but at least something...

Crystal report viewer aspnet_client files

Hello,
I hope this is an easy question. Sadly I can't answer it for myself: what installer do I have to use to get the aspnet_client files installed in a web server?
I mean the files that go under \inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\system_web\2_0_50727\crystalreportviewers115\ and that give support to the crystal report viewer object used in the .net web applications.
I do have these files installed in my dev environment, but I can't pinpoint which installer was used to get them there, now I need to put this on a web server.
The installers I have are for BOE XI R2 (SP1, SP2 and SP3) and also for CrystalReports XI
I think I should use BOE XI R2 in client mode in the web server, and then install the SPs
Can someone let me know if this is correct?
Thanks!
Marcelo

Hi Adam, thank you for the quick answer.
I'm not sure if I can give you all the required information about that. This is what I know (the dev environment was setup before I got to work with it, so I don't have the specific details):
For the DEV environment:
1. Business Objects XI R2 was installed along with SP1, SP2, SP3 and the Fix Pack 3.6
2. Crystal Reports XI was installed (no SP, no FP)
As a result of the above installations, in Visual Studio 2005 became available the CrystalReportViewer object, which references the library CrystalDecisions.Web.dll. I believe the same installer that made this available to Visual Studio, also installed the aspnet_client files in the DEV machine. As far as I can tell, there was no specific installation for either SDK, just what was mentioned above.
Sadly I don't have access to a different machine where I can install from scratch to identify which installer actually does the trick, but after peeking inside the installer files, I believe these client files was the result of the BOE XI R2 install.
