Alternative to craxddrt dll in crystal report 2008

Hi,
I have been using crystal report 8.5 where there was a control called RDC for end users to design the report which uses craxddrt dll. Now we have purchased crystal report 2008 and we have the same requirement but since RDC is not supported now,  could you please guide how to implement the logic of RDC in Crystal report 2008 with Visual Studio 2008?
Your help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Vibhuti

Hi, Vibhuti;
It's not that the RDC is not supported with CR 2008, it does not exist. You will have to use the .NET assemblies.
See the thread at the top of this forum for some getting started tips:

  • How to use CRAXDDRT.DLL in crystal report 2008?

    Hello All,
    We have purchased Crystal report 2008 Full software.
    We need to insert BLOB field into Crystal report 2008 at runtime using *CRAXDDRT.DLL*.
    How can I insert OLE object and bind it at Runtime using crystal report 2008?
    Is it possible to insert Ole Object runtime using crystal report 2008? If yes how and if not is there alternative to perform this job.
    Please let me know your feedback.
    Thanks

    CrxDDrt.dll is only provided in order for the Crystal Reports designer in the .NET IDE.
    1) You are not licensed to use this CraxDDrt.dll
    2) Even if you were, in previous versions of CR, there were licensing implications to using the craxDDrt.dll (read $$)
    3) Once your project would be done, using CR 2008, you would not be able to distribute the runtime as there is no CR MSM or MSI that contains the craxDDrt.dll and it's supporting runtime.
    In your original post you say:
    "I need to show Word and Pdf file in to Crystal report 2008 using CRAXDDRT.DLL";
    I do not understand why you'd need to do this using the craxddrt.dll? You should be able to insert a BLOB field using the RAS SDK for .NET and CR 2008. Now, one hting you will have to keep in mind. If you insert a multipage .doc or .pdf file into the report, you will only get the first page of that document. I suggest you try this in the CR designer first. Always remember that if you can not do a certain thing in the designer, you will not be able to do it at runtime either. Giving all the limitations above, if you are still interested in doing this using RAS, let me know and I'll set you up with some resources to get you going.

  • 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!!

  • Crystal Reports 2008 x64 Runtime

    When running a Crystal Reports 2008 and Visual Studio .NET 2008 windows application on a 64 bit Windows Server 2008 the following error message appears : "An error has occoured while attempting to load the Crystal Reports Runtime. Either the Crystal Reports registry key permissions are insufficient, or the Crystal Reports runtime is not installed correctly. Please install the appropriate Crystal Reports redistributable (CRRedist*.msi) containg the correct version of the Crystal Repors Runtime (x86, x64, or itanium) required."
    I read in the forum that this error message appears because there are no 64 bit dlls for Crystal Reports 2008.
    Well, I've installed either CR2008RedistSetup and CRRedist2008_x64.
    When compiling the application in Visual Studio .NET 2008 I need to use the 32 bit mode or the 64 bit mode.
    How can I do to solve it?

    Only the .NET 2005 (CR 10.2) and .NET 2008 (CR 10.5) bundles are 64 bit. You must compile the app as 32 bit and use the 32 bit CR runtime. Runtime file links are here;
    https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56787567
    More information re. 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Crystal Reports is in [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10d5fa88-2013-2c10-c9a5-f11963607d4e] article.

  • Crystal Reports 2008-Vista-ERROR-crw32.exe Entry Point Not Found in dll

    Hi Experts,
    I just installed the Crystal Reports 2008 (with SP0) on my Vista (Home) machine.  When I try to start the CR 2008, I am getting the below error message:
    Error Title: crw32.exe - Entry Point Not Found
    Error Message: The procedure entry point ?PrintLegend@CMapXLegend@CSLib300@@QAEXJJJJJ@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library cslibu-3-0.dll
    Here are the things I tried to resolve the above problem:
    1) Uninstall and Reinstall the CR 2008.  -  No change.
    2) I configured the DEP to accept Crystal Reports (Performance - Advanced - DEP allow). 
    None of these seem fix the problem. 
    Can you please help me kick start the Crystal Reports 2008? 
    Thanks,
    Arun

    Please try with this:
    Run a command prompt as administrator. From the start menu, select "All Programs", then "Accessories" and right-click on the "Command Prompt" shortcut and choose "Run As Administrator". From here you can use the following command to disable Data Execution Prevention (DEP) with the following command:
    bcdedit.exe /set nx AlwaysOff
    Keeping your command prompt open, run your setup or other process being stopped by DEP. Then, to turn it back on again, do the same and run the following:
    bcdedit.exe /set nx AlwaysOn

  • Invalid export DLL or export format" with Crystal Reports 2008 to Excel xls

    We are experiencing the same issue as reported in the sticky thread. I answered in that thread, but thought that I woudl open a new thread to keep track of this issue.  I can give you the responses to your questions you have requested in that thread:
    Server Operating System - MS Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition SP2
    Version of the .NET Framework - MS .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
    How did you deploy? - Installed CR 2008 SP1 runtime with msi package
    If you deployed with CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.msi - what was the date of the file and its size? CRRuntime_12_1_mlb.msi dated Sept. 16, 2008 12:55:00 PM, size: 56,717,824 bytes
    What is the file version of crpe32.dll on your server? You'll find this in the C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 directory - File was created 9/13/08 11:21AM, 9451KB File Version: 12.1.0.882
    How many libpng10.dll files are on your system? List all instances. - 1 instance is on the system located in C;\Program Files\Business Objects\Business Objects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 directory. It is dated 9/13/08 8:52:26AM 132KB version 1.0.30.1
    Any additional comments - We have tried to export to PDF and this works successfully. However, we can not export to xls or rft formats.
    CRXF_XLS.dll is 905KB 9/13/08 9:38AM Version 12.1.0.882
    CRXF_RTF.dll is 509KB 9/13/08 9:35AM Version 12.1.0.882
    We also have the CR XIR2 server runtime installed side by side on the server as we migrate from CR 2008 to CR XIR2 SP4 ( where this function does work currently).
    Please let me know if you need anything additional.

    "Invalid export DLL or export format" with Crystal Reports 2008
    Posted: Sep 27, 2008 12:36 AM       E-mail this message      Reply 
    I've included this sticky because we are seeing many posts in this forum regarding the error Invalid export DLL or export format when exporting to Excel and RTF in .NET applications using the Crystal Reports 2008 .NET SDK.
    Issue
    Exporting a Crystal Report to Excel or RTF format
    .NET application using the Crystal Reports 2008 runtime (version 12.0)
    error Invalid export DLL or export format
    We've been doing some testing in-house and haven't reproduced this behavior. In order to figure this issue out we will need your help. If you are getting this error please reply to this post with the following information:
    Server Operating System
    Version of the .NET Framework
    How did you deploy?
    If you deployed with CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.msi - what was the date of the file and its size?
    What is the file version of crpe32.dll on your server? You'll find this in the C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 directory
    How many libpng10.dll files are on your system? List all instances.
    Any additional comments
    What We Know
    The error invalid export DLL or export format may occur when exporting to Excel and RTF formats in .NET applications utilizing the Crystal Reports 2008 runtime (v 12.0)
    Other export formats like Adobe PDF, Crystal Reports, CSV all export with no error
    Some customers have resolved this by adding C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 to their environment path variables
    This may have something to do with the file libpng10.dll. Both crxf_xls.dll and crxf_rtf.dll are dependent on it.
    Thanks in advance for your co-operation. We hope to figure out what is causing this issue soon.

    Hi,
    I am also having the same problem, except that I am not using Crystal Report 2008 runtime but the actual Crystal Report 2008 installation on Windows XP SP2 with VS Studio 2005 (VC++). MS .NET Framework 2.0.
    Cyrstal Report XIR2 was installed on the same machine but uninstalled before installing Crystal Report 2008.
    So only one instance of libpng10.dll and found in C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86
    Crpe32.dll        3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
    Crxf_xls.dll       3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
    Crxf_rtf.dll         3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
    crdb_oracle.dll  3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
    libpng10.dll       3/1/2008 version 1.0.30.0             122880 bytes
    There is no problem for exporting to pdf, html, word, csv, Crystal Report. If I create a testing report without any data from database, the testing report can then be exported also to rtf and xls.
    Oracle 11.1.0.6 is the DB for the reports.
    Adding C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 to the path did not resolve my problem.
    Any idea to fix this issue?
    Thanks

  • Crystal Reports 2008 - Error 1904 - DLLs will not register

    I have just tried to install Crystal Reports 2008 on a PC which is running on XP Professional 2002 (Service Pack 3) and none of the DDLs will register.  I have administrator privileges on the local PC.
    I could possibly try to register the DLLs manually but I don't understand why they won't register automatically.

    Install .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0 and then any patches Windows has for them.
    Install the C++ runtime distribution from Microsoft, search MS's site for it, they have multiple links for each OS.
    Download the latest Microsoft installer, you can go to MS's web site to get it.
    Check with your IT department to make sure they have not pushed out a "modified" administrator Profile to your PC. Open up regedit.exe and confirm you can change any key in Current User and Software and anything. Be sure to copy the original so you can right the value back and the usual warnings about modifying the registry.
    Download CR 2008 SP1 full build: https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006555792009E/cr2008win_sp1.exe ( requires and un-install of existing CR 2008 if any are on your PC )
    Before running CR 2008 Install SP 3: https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123572010E/cr2008_sp3.exe
    You could also try Disabling DEP, right click on My Computer, Properties, Advanced tab and Data Execution Prevention and make sure it's set to windows Processes only. Requires a re-boot if changed.
    Disable any and all anti-virus and local firewalls, copy everything local and disconnect your network cable so you don't get anything nasty and try again.
    If none of the above works then try someone elses computer, your system may be beyond repairing and could require an FDISK and starting all over.

  • "Invalid export DLL or export format" with Crystal Reports 2008

    I've included this sticky because we are seeing many posts in this forum regarding the error Invalid export DLL or export format when exporting to Excel and RTF in .NET applications using the Crystal Reports 2008 .NET SDK.
    Issue
    - Exporting a Crystal Report to Excel or RTF format
    - .NET application using the Crystal Reports 2008 runtime (version 12.0)
    - error Invalid export DLL or export format
    We've been doing some testing in-house and haven't reproduced this behavior. In order to figure this issue out we will need your help. If you are getting this error please reply to this post with the following information:
    - Server Operating System
    - Version of the .NET Framework
    - How did you deploy?
    - If you deployed with CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.msi - what was the date of the file and its size?
    - What is the file version of crpe32.dll on your server? You'll find this in the C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 directory
    - How many libpng10.dll files are on your system? List all instances.
    - Any additional comments
    What We Know
    - The error invalid export DLL or export format may occur when exporting to Excel and RTF formats in .NET applications utilizing the Crystal Reports 2008 runtime (v 12.0)
    - Other export formats like Adobe PDF, Crystal Reports, CSV all export with no error
    - Some customers have resolved this by adding C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 to their environment path variables. Note the system must be restarted after editing the path variable.
    - This may have something to do with the file libpng10.dll. Both crxf_xls.dll and crxf_rtf.dll are dependent on it.
    - libpng10.dll has changed versions from SP0 to SP1. In SP0 it was 1.0.30.0 and in SP1 it is 1.0.30.1
    libpng10.dll dependencies
    The dependencies have also been updated for libpng10.dll in service pack 1. This may have something to do with the export issue. If you've deployed your application with the latest merge modules or setup package for service pack 1 you'll want to make sure you have version 1.0.30.1 of libpng10.dll.
    Version 1.0.30.0
    - zlib.dll
    - msvcr71.dll
    - kernel32.dll
    Version 1.0.30.1
    - boezlib.dll
    - msvcr80.dll
    - kernel32.dll
    Thanks in advance for your co-operation. We hope to figure out what is causing this issue soon.

    Our company has also been experiencing this issue with deployed versions of our software, and during my examination of the error I have made the following discoveries:
    For us the error has only been reproduced on Windows 2003 running Citrix
    The error does not occur on Windows XP, Windows 2003 or Vista without Citrix
    For installation of our application we use the CRRuntime_12_0.msm merge module (version 12.0.0.683, file size 46790KB)
    As mentioned in the first post this error is related to the files crxf_rtf.dll and cfxf_xls.dll being unable to locate its reference to the file libpng10.dll during load.
    I have run the application with ProcMon (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx) attached on both environments that work correctly and that does not work and iIve made these observations:
    During load of dlls Windows searches for references in the following orders (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682586.aspx):
    1. The directory from which the application loaded.
    2. The system directory.
    3. The 16-bit system directory.
    4. The Windows directory.
    5. The current directory.
    6. The directories that are listed in the PATH environment variable.
    Looking at the ProcMon log for the environment where it works correctly (Windows XP, no Citrix) it looks like this . Numbers represent the search order mentioned above:
    Load Image     C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\crxf_rtf.dll     SUCCESS     Image Base: 0x3e640000, Image Size: 0x79000
    (1) QueryOpen     C:\Program Files\<our application name>\libpng10.dll     NAME NOT FOUND     
    (2) QueryOpen     C:\WINDOWS\system32\libpng10.dll     NAME NOT FOUND     
    (3) QueryOpen     C:\WINDOWS\system\libpng10.dll     NAME NOT FOUND
    (4) QueryOpen     C:\WINDOWS\libpng10.dll     NAME NOT FOUND     
    (5) QueryOpen     C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\libpng10.dll     SUCCESS      ...
    So you can see it finds the file in the "current directory"
    Now, from the environment where it does not work (Windows 2003 Server / Citrix):
    Load Image     X:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\crxf_rtf.dll     SUCCESS     Image Base: 0x3e640000, Image Size: 0x79000
    (1) QueryOpen     X:\Program Files\<our application name>\libpng10.dll     NAME NOT FOUND     
    (2) QueryOpen     X:\WINDOWS\system32\libpng10.dll     NAME NOT FOUND     
    (3) QueryOpen     X:\WINDOWS\system\libpng10.dll     NAME NOT FOUND     
    (4) QueryOpen     X:\WINDOWS\libpng10.dll     NAME NOT FOUND     
    (5) QueryOpen     X:\Documents and Settings\<my user name>\WINDOWS\libpng10.dll     NAME NOT FOUND     
    (6) QueryOpen     ... loops trough all paths in the PATH variable, finding nothing
    As you can see somehow the current directory is %USERPROFILE%\WINDOWS and not the Crystal Reports bin path in this environment at the time of loading the dll.
    I have yet to discover why this is the case, but i tought i could share what I have found =)
    The %USERPROFILE%\WINDOWS folder is not a standard Windows folder, and I think it is used by Citrix for some files (like win.ini)
    This also shows why adding the bin folder to the PATH variable is a valid workaround for some, but for us this is not really a good solution as we need this to work out of our installer. We don't always have consultants do the installations for the customers and we cannot expect them to manually edit the PATH variable, and we don't want to add to the PATH variable in the installer unless this is the only way...
    So, I hope this maybe can bring you closer to being able to reproduce it. I'm still looking into it, will post more if I find something else interesting

  • Need alternative for activex print control using Crystal reports 2008

    I have created a .Net web application (2.0/3.5 .Net framework) with crystal reports 2008.
    Reports are viewed using Crystal reports 2008 activex viewer.
    On click of PRINT icon in activex viewer, activex print control download prompt will be displayed on client machine.
    I need to avoid downloading of activex print control on client machine. Is there any other alternative or option to use print functionality in viewer without downloading activex print control on client machine?
    Or Is there any other workaround for print functionality in Crystal reports 2008 Viewer without downloading activex print control?
    Note: Activex print control download prompt will not be displayed when using Crystal reprots XI Release 2 version.
    Thanks,
    Jagannath

    Does anyone know which files need to be registered for the ActiveX print control?  We occasionally have users who somehow break their Crystal ActiveX controls, and they can no longer see the print options.  In Crystal 10, I was able to fix these issues by pushing a package which registered several files on the user's computer.

  • Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 - "u25azalea.dll" missing

    We have installed Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 on our application server.
    Windows Server 2008 R2  Standard
    64-bit operating system
    1. I create a Report and choose a field for barcode
    2. Right-click on a that field and choose u201CChange to barcodeu201D
    3. I choose "Code39" in the list
    4. I change the font of the field to "Barcode EAN13"
    5. It shows correctly in Crystal design/preview mode.
    6. When I try to run the report from our windows application this message appear: "UFL 'u25azalea.dll' that implements this function is missing"
    7. I download the file from http://www.azalea.com/crystal-reports/
    8. I copy the file "u25azalea.dll" into the path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise     12.0\win32_x86
    8. It still shows the message!
    What should I do?

    Hello,
    No need to select #3 if you are going to change it to #4. Just edit the field and select your barcode font. You only need that file if you use the Code 39 font.
    Odd though that it asked for that ufl. Look for it on your local PC and copy it over, could be the one you downloaded is an older version.

  • Invalid export DLL or export format when export  with Crystal Reports 2008

    Hi,
         We have an serious issue while exporting the crystal report into excel. We are able to export into all type in our development environment. But when we tried to export from our server all exports working except the excel. However when we restart the IIS the excel export also working for sometimes and again we are facing the same problem.
    Development environment:
    .Net 2008
    Crystal report 2008
    SQL Server 2008
    +Server Environment:+
    IIS7.0 in Classical mode
    Crystal report 2008 runtime without any SP
        We chosen Classical mode to avoid the error 'an error occurred on the server. printing will be stopped' after a successful print. It is an known issue and I'm curious to know is there any fix available to resolve this issue. Because we prefer Integrated mode.
        Earlier we dont face the excel export problem and we encountered after the SP3 installation. So we uninstalled it from server and we just installed only the run-time. But still we are facing the same problem. we could not able to conclude the cause of this issue because classical mode may create this issue?
    This is a very critical issue to us, so if anyone has the solution please help me.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Not clear, did you mean when you install SP 3 it worked?
    Use Process Monitor or Fiddler to see what is failing. With out an error message or any other error from IIS logs or Event Viewer logs anything could be the cause.
    Thank you

  • Getting an error trying to install Crystal Reports 2008 on a 64 bit Windows

    reformatted my computer and now I'm trying to install Crystal Reports 2008 on 64 bit windows 7 box.  When the "Registering modules" portion of the install comes up, I get a message that a dll has failed to register.  I saw something about not having the Microsoft Visual c++ 2005 redistributable pack (x86) installed but that was not it either.
    The cd label say Crystal Reports to Crystal Reports 2008 Upgrade, but it does not seem like I have to have the older version of Crystal insatlled.
    Any ideas how to fix this ?

    Hello together,
    i've had the same problem. Tried to install CR SP 2 "cr2008win_sp2.exe" onto an existing CR 2008 SP1 installation, and got the above error. After extracting the cr2008win_sp2.exe to an folder using Winzip (or just start Installation, the source would be extracted to "c:\temp" ), navigate to the subfolder "\package" and execute the CrystalReports.msp (in my case: c:\temp\package\CrystalReports.msp). This start's the Installation of SP 2. If you get an version mismatch, use parameter SKIP_PATCH_VERSION_CHECK=1 by typing command in an dos prompt "c:\temp\package\CrystalReports.msp SKIP_PATCH_VERSION_CHECK=1" but remember, you need to have an SP1 installed (somebody said, SP's are incremental).
    Reboot and apply then the  CR 2008 SP2 FixPack 7 "cr2008fp27.exe". Use this Link to Download CR and Xcelsius Stuff:
    [https://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm]
    I would suggest you not to use IE for downloading, use an alternative browser. I got only bad downloads (IE8 on Win7).
    This is the way i did and this works pretty good.
    Good Luck

  • Crystal Report 2008 SP3 and BO XI 3.1 conflict

    Hi every body,
    We have a BOE system:
    BO XI 3.1
    Oracle db 10g
    All running successful and can create some types of WebI report.
    But we also want reports with Crystal Report.
    1> So we install Crystal Report 2008 SP3 (without knowing the conflict error between BO XI 3.1 and Crystal Report 2008 SP3 and overwrite some .dll file). After installing, we can not create WebI report any more. And a error message box display: "DBDriver failed to load: C:\Program File\Business Objects\BusinessObjects ENterprise12.0\win32_x86\dataAccess\connectionServer\dbd_oci.dll ".
    2> We uninstall Crystal Report SP3. But this is not the solution. Still error because of missing .dll files.
    3> We open BO XI 3.1 setup and repair BO XI 3.1. Even we uninstall BO XI 3.1, delete all of its components and delete in regedit key. We install BO XI 3.1 again. Now we have full .dll file, not missing them any more. But when we open universe and click on Table browser, cannot fetching any tables.
    We set rights for Oracle DB user again. But still error: cannot fetching.
    4> We searched the solution for this problem on the internet. But not worked, no answer.
    Can somebody help me bring back the BOE system state again ? pls   :"<
    T______T

    Hi Paul,
    I hope I read your question right!
    Yes, It is possible to run XIR2 and 3.1 on the same server although it's not recommended by BO. You will need to make sure they are both pointing to different CMS databases and different FRS repositories, like you already mentioned you will need to specify different ports for the CMS db and Tomcat.
    Why not uninstall Business Objects XI R2 in your BO development environment or a spare server (if you have one), and do a clean install of XI 3.1 SP3.
    Tip: If you were already having performance issues with your XI R2 environment, I would seriously consider upgrading the hardware. XI 3.1 needs a bit more RAM and CPU than XI R2
