Attn: Philipp Weckerle (Schedule reports (report server/rw_server_queue...)

Philipp:
Thanks for your response on an earlier thread on this topic. Based on your response, could you please elaborate on the following?
"keep a history : using the reports server queue table you can keep track of jobs and their status"
How/when would you insert records into this table (rw_server_queue) using rw_server.insert_job function? I mean, from where would you grab this information to write into this table for history purposes? Could you please guide me through this?

hello,
the server will insert records into this table whenever it updates the actual queue-information.
you can consider the queue-table as beeing a log of the queue (write only though, meaning inserting a row by
your application will not submit a job).
if you want to keep the info somewhere different, you can create a trigger on the server queue table that fires on
every insert on this table.
regards,
philipp

Crystal Report Server 2008 Import Issues - Missing report schedules/history

Hello all,
I have recently on a test machine installed Crystal Report Server 2008 V0. I then created several test reports and put them on the server and created schedules and a history for each one.
Once this was done I exported the information into a BIAR file. Uninstalled CR Server 2008 V0 and installed CR Server 2008 V1 SP3.
I then imported this BIAR file. After the import my reports are there, but all schedules and history are lost? Is there a way around this? How can I ensure all schedules are brought over in the import?
Please note I followed this workflow: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/5048d962-8fa6-2c10-e2ae-d32b3562cb9c
Comments on it seem to indicate this is a common issue.
Thanks!

Good day Philippe,
You have been able to solve my issue, thank you! In following the instructions I didn't notice the "Import all instances" tick box, I simply assumed hitting select all would work and glazed right over it. So this was certainly user error on my part.
Thank you so much for the information!

Report works in Crystal Reports, but not when scheduled in Crystal Server

Hi,
I have a pretty simple report designed in Crystal Reports 2008. Basically it shows a list of call notes (memo field) from customer activities in our CRM system. The report works fine in Crystal reports, but when run or scheduled in Crystal Server 2008 the output is always blank. Furthermore, the page format etc. is "lost" in crystal server, so that the output is PDF of a quadratic blank sheet (not my standard A4 format)... Exporting to other formats - excel, Word etc. all gives the same result.
I have tried to strip out various formulas, formatting etc from the report, but nothing helps. Which leads me to thinking that the real problem is that the report contains a memo field? Anyone else had this problem?

Hi Claus,
I've had issues between what Crystal does and what the Report Server does. To resolve this, we found out Crystal Reports 2008 latest service pack has some things that will fix Server 2008 and they aren't in the latest Server update.
We updated Crystal Reports 2008 on our machines. Installed the latest update for Crystal Server and then installed Crystal 2008 on the Report Server and installed the Crystal Reports 2008 update. A lot of our compatibility issues went away after that.
Good luck,
Brian

How can I get a Listing of all scheduled reports from Crystal Server 9?

Hello,
Can anyone help?
A colleague and I are trying to find out when we can schedule a server reboot (Crystal Reports 9). We can look at individual jobs but we don't seem to be able to find a list of all the jobs and when they occur.
We need to do this as we would like to schedule a regular server reboot without interrupting jobs.
As you may be able to tell, my colleague and I have little Crystal knowledge, but we have found our selves looking after this server.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your response.
Do you remember what kind of installation process you have followed while installing your crystal enterprise.
It will prompt for client installation and server installation.
If you have installed client products then you wont have instance manager in your list of products.
Else if you don't have instance manager in crystal server 9, then for buying the product you should contact your accounts manager.
He can reach the CIC people through your company and based on your license agreements you can the product.
Just let me know if you have any queries.

Naveen.

Scheduled Report execution on Server

Folks,
just one question: Is it possible to schedule report generation on the server?
Here's what I would like to do: At regular intervals I would like to automatically generate database reports (using the Server Object Model).
I would see various approaches, but right now, I have no idea what is actually feasible:
- Trigger Server script execution with BPAADM, scheduled by Windows Task Manager
- Trigger Server script execution by executing a JAR file with JAVA.EXE, scheduled by Windows Task Manager
- Modifying some configuration script in the Server\config directory
- Trigger Server script execution by pure magic ;-)
Any ideas?
Regards, Jörg

Hi Jörg,
we use simple server based batch scripts . These scripts use the functionality provided by the BPA Admin tool to perform different tasks. You can either start macros inside the tool or perform other tasks like backing up the DBs etc.
This is a very simple by proven way to automate server based activities. We use this since the old ARIS days
Cheers

Crystal Reports Server - Scheduling Report Exports

Dear Experts,
We are using Crystal Reports Server XI Edition and we would like to schedule report exports. Crystal Reports Server configuration console allows us to automate report exports but apparently we could not find a way to pass report parameters and formulas from any export management tab. Naturally, each report needs to take different parameters but to our knowledge CRS management console does not have a screen that prompts us to key in or to read dynamic report parameters and formula. It simply uses the default report parameters. Can you confirm this please?
To overcome this limitation, we are thinking of developing something like a script that directly interacts with CRS. The script would pass the name of the report, the report parameters and other relevant details like CMS username/ password.Do you think this is possible and if yes can you please point us to the key APIs required for scheduling report exports?
My sincere thanks for your assistance.
Kind Regards,
Joseph.

You are able to change the parameters for the report within the Central Management Console under the processing tab before scheduling.
Here is some sample applications that you can refer to in regards to doing this using the api:

How to set DbConnections when scheduling a crystal report using Crystal Reports Server Java SDK?

Post Author: Manjula
CA Forum: JAVA
Hi,
Trying to schedule a report using Crystal Reports Server Java SDK. Want to pass DBConnections from API, though passing DBConnections, the report is not being scheduled and says "Failed to retrieve data from the database.Details:[Database Vendor Code:6550].
Would be thankful if someone could answer my point as applicable.
Here is the code attached.
ISDKList dbLogons = oReport.getReportLogons();int dbLogonSize = dbLogons.size();
for(int i=0; i<dbLogonSize; ++i) {
IReportLogon dbLogon = (IReportLogon)dbLogons.get(i);
dbLogon.setDatabaseName("DBname");
dbLogon.setUserName("usrname");
dbLogon.setPassword("pwd");
Thanks in advance.

Ted,
Thank you for your valuable information.
First, tried scheduling on Central Management Console and then with the java code.It worked fine, but here is another question for you.
On the Console, a report exists with ServerName and UserName harcoded and when trying to set ServerName and UserName from the java code, its throwing exception. Where as Password is not set on Console, am able to set password from java.
And DatabaseName is not set on Console (non editable), unable to set the same from java too. Why is it so?
So, my question is - though ServerName,DatabaseName,UserName,Password exists on the Console report, can't I override those parameters from java?
Would be greatful if you answer my question and provide me some guidance.
Thanks in advance.

How to Schedule reports to SFTP server?

Hello friends,
Can some one please give me an examples for scheduling reports to SFTP server using BOBJ SDK?
Regards,
Rakhy.

Hi Rakhy,
You cannot schedule a report to SFTP and also it is not supported by SAP.
The same cannot be achieved thtrough CMC/BIlaunchpad and hence it is not possible to achive the same though sdks as there is no option available to schedule a report to SFTP.
SAP BI 4.x does not provide any Build- In functionality to use the SFTP protocol with the Scheduler.
Refer to the SAP Note below
http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1782625
There is a workaround given at the link below is applicable to XI R2. You can probably implement that with your environment.
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-31576
You can use BOBJ SDKs to Schedule a report to Unmanged Disk and then create a program object which will trigger its schedule as an file base event occurs and send the report to SFTP.
Thanks,
Prithvi

How so we schedule a reports server restart

We want to schedule a reports server restart each night that is scheduled in windows. Does anyone know the command to do this?
The reason we want to do this is because our RDF reports often error out and a simple restart of the reports server solves the issue. Has anyone else encountered this issue and if so how did you get round it?

Hi
This is really a reports question. You can auto schedule with the queue manager to run reports on the 27th of the month in background, or have a batch script to initiate them or write a new report that initiates each ot the reports so that it can be user initiated

Crystal Report Server 2008 - Schedule/Process/History Grayed Out on CMC

Hi - I'm using Crystal Reports Server 2008 (11.5) and am unable to schedule reports - the schedule (as well as the Process and History) tabs are greyed out in the Central Management Console and don't appear at all in Infoview. In addition I can specify the database when I setup a new report or when using the Publishing Wizard to import files I don't get the dialogue about scheduling.
Am I missing something?
Thanks

Can you please try one of the CRS 2008 keys from the folowing file?

How to configure a Office 365 email on SAP BI 4.1SP05 server to send scheduled reports by email ?

Hi All,
I am trying to figure out how to configure office 365 server on BI platform so that I can send scheduled reports by Email.
Below are the system details:
SAP BI 4.1 SP05
Microsoft Office 365 Email account
I referred to the SCN post for configuring gmail.
I could easily configure my gmail account.
I tried same logic with Office 365. Instead of using port 465 (for gmail) I used port 995 (for office 365).
That didnt work.
I also tried using port 587 for TLS authentication but that doesnt work either.
SMTP Link for office 365: smtp.office365.com
For simplicity purposes, I have opened all the ports on the firewall and server.
Please let me know if I have missed anything or if my whole approach is incorrect ?
I am open to suggestions and workarounds.
Thanks,
Prathmesh Pai

Hi there,
When the order is saved, the system will call the mail ID maintained in SU01 of the user.
It will then trigger the mail to the regular outlook mailbox.
Else in some cases a new Z table is defined to maintain the mail IDs. System will trigger the mail through outlook. It has that inbuilt capability.
Just ask your user to check his mail box to see if he has received the mail.

Crystal Report Server - Scheduled Reports Have Failed - SMTP_E_TCPSOCKET_SE

Hi,
Recently, several scheduled reports have failed with the error message "server error. CrystalEnterprise.Smtp: SMTP_E_TCPSOCKET_SEND(3)". It happens randomly, to different reports at different times. Can anyone let me know what information does this need to troubleshoot. Thanks!
Senthil

Hi
I would like to suggest you following things:
1) Please check the SMTP settings on the respective report's job server. Like Severname of the SMTP
server. Port number of the SMTP and domain.
2) Check whether are you able to send the mails from mail client to the desired destination.
3) Verify the Port number given to the SMTP, by default it is 25. And also verify it is not blocked on the
firewall.
4) Also verify whether ip address of the server machine where job server is installed is included in the
allowed list at the SMTP server end.

Hello Senthil,
I recommend to post this query to the [BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration|BI Platform; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to administration and configuration of BusinessObjects Enterprise, BusinessObjects Edge, and Crystal Reports Server.
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all BOE Administration queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

Crystal Reports Server 2008 - Scheduling Reports Best Practice

What is the best practice for scheduling a report that will be distributed to approximately 30 recipients? I have uploaded a report that has a single parameter for the physician's name. I need to distribute this report on a daily basis to each physician using their name as the parameter. Should I right-click on the single report that is uploaded and schedule the report with the corresponding parameter and physician e-mail address, or should I create 30 reports each with the physician's name. Basically, I need a way to see all of the scheduled jobs for a given report? Is this possible in Crystal Reports Server 2008? Thanks.

The way that I handle all of our scheduled reports is to create the report with parameters to cover all of the necessary variations of the same basic report. For you, that's be a single report with the doctor's name (or other identifier) as a parameter. I then create an Object Package (I use BOE, so I'm not positive if CR Server has them, but I'd guess so...) for each variation (doctor in your case), and copy the report into the package. I then set up the destination and schedule for the package, and set the parameter(s) of the report. Then, schedule the package to run.
The advantage of using object packages is that it separates the schedule and distribution from the actual report, so if (or I should say, when :->) the report changes, you don't have to copy the schedule and destination to the new version of the report, saving time and reducing errors. Just copy the new version into the package, set the parameters, delete the old version, and reschedule the package to run.
HTH,
Carl

Re-scheduling reports when Report Server fails?

Is there a method to re-schedule previously cheduled reports in the scenario that for instance, the report server fails for whatever reason? My scenario is that I had a report server have a problem overnight and the reports that were scheduled did not execute. Is there a fairly straight forward way to identify and reschedule the reports that did not run?
Thanks
Marc

There might be a way. When you schedule a report through CMC under Recurrence you have an option "Number of retries allowed" and "Retry interval in seconds". Set the first parameter to be 1. If the report server fails overnight, then what you can do is set the interval seconds to be a big number, so that the next retry would be in the morning when someone would have restarted the server.
