Avoid to display empty report viewer window?

Hi, We use CR4E with Thick Client environment. First we prepare a report as ReportClientDocument. Then we display this with the Crystal Report thick-client viewer. According to the report parameter it is possible that the report does not find data. In this case an empty report viewer window is displayed. We want to avoid that. Is there a way to check the report if it find data or not (e.g. catch the SQL of report). Thx. Peter

Hallo, I´ve got the same problem.
I want to pass only specific values to
the report. But when I try to launch the viewer,
a parameter field page is displayed. When
I click on "OK" without entering some values the
report is displayed correctly. How can I turn
of displaying this page?
Thanks

Couldn't display Crystal Reports viewer (crviewer.dll)

Hi
If I try to run a report i get this message:
"Couldn't display Crystal Reports viewer (crviewer.dll). Contact your ClearQuest administrator to verify that crviewer.dll file is registered."
I am using Rational ClearQuest with Crystal Reports 11.5.0.313 on a 64bit Windows 7
Does anybody know a solution for this problem?
Thanks!

It's entirely possible that this version of the viewer (which is quite old and no longer supported) is ont supported on Window 7. However, we have no idea how Rational may have implemented the Crystal SDK, so your best bet is going to be to contact them for assistance with this.

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.

Can't close, resize or move report viewer window

In my application, I have a window with a button. When I click the button, a report viewer window opens. After the report has loaded, everything works fine, except that I can't close, move or resize the report viewer window.
Some of my code:
Private Sub btnLogReport_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnLogReport.Click
         Dim tmpFrm As New frmLogReport
         tmpFrm.Show()
End Sub
Private Sub frmLogReport_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Me.CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = Application.StartupPath.Replace("\bin", "") & "\Reports\LogReport.rpt"
End Sub
Any help?

What version of CR?
What CR Service ppacks have been applied?
What version of .NET?
What OS?
Is this on your dev box or after you deploy?

Need to print an SSRS report in a web application to a designated printer without displaying in report viewer

In an asp.net webforms app, I need to be able to print SSRS reports directly to designated printers without displaying them in the report viewer. This needs to occur when I click on a button on the page, and I can use either local or server
side reports. There are 4 different reports, and one needs to be directed to a different printer from the other 3. One of them also has very rigid formatting requirements, so the formatting cannot be altered by the print method. I have
researched this for hours, but all the solutions I have found for doing this are for windows apps, not web apps. Can anybody help?

Hello,
You can try to use the Report Service web service to render the report and send to a printer to print the report programming.

Report not display in report viewer

i try to show ssrsc reports in asp.net web page using report viewer

where is the probelm... and why report not display?

Hello,
In SSRS, the issue is occurred when the credential of the datasource is configured with “Prompt for credentials”. Please check if you configured the credential with "Stored Credential" of the datasource. You can refer to the following steps:
Click the black arrow of the report, select Security option.
Click Data Sources in the left pane.
1) If it is a "A custom data source”, please check the item "Credentials stored securely in the report server", and type the valid username and password. If the user is a Windows Account, you need to check item "Use as Windows credentials when connecting
to the data source".
2) If it is a "A shared data source", please remember the path, and then open the data source from the Report Manager. Make sure the credential type is "Credentials stored securely in the report server".

Mail not displaying Message Viewer window

Hi,
Just installed Lion on a 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac. After installing Lion, Mail refuses to display the message viewer window. I can open 'file > new message' and 'file > new note' windows but when selecting 'new viewer window' nothing happens, the same if I select 'Mail > Preferences'. Mail seems to be connecting and downloading messages okay but I can't view them!
Any help appreciated!
Chris

Simular problem:
Its iMail Version 6.3 (1503) which comes with a fresh install of 10.8.3.
Any email base64 encoded is corrupted or not shown.
eg Any message from and Exchange Client that has both plain text and html in the same message where the plain text section is Base64 encoded.
eg
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="_000_CD848A046C8D3_"
MIME-Version: 1.0
--_000_CD848A046C8D3_
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
base 64 encoded block
-_000_CD848A046C8D3_
Content-Type: text/html; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
base 64 encoded block
The work arround it to switch to the classic view, open the message there, then switch back to the modern view and the text of the message magically appears. Its probably something to do with the way in which the new iMail processes message bodies, that the older style viewer had fixed. (You can switch between classic view and modern view under the Vieweing preferences tab)
It also seems to impact sent messages or anything thats been base64 encoded.
Hopefully its such a major bug it will be fixed soon. (lol, like some of the bugs in iMail on 10.6.8 were fixed ?)

Safari Crashes after a few minutes without report/reopen window....

Please help
after a few minutes safari closes without any notice and no display of report/ reopen window.
Thanks

Welcome to the forums Prisoner from the Land of Cleve.
A little more information would be helpful, such as the version of Safari you're using and which OS version.
I have found the latest version of Safari (3.2.1.) to be ill behaved unless I've unchecked the "warn before visiting fraudulent websites" option in Safari > Preferences > Security. This appears to be a widespread issue. Try unchecking that box, quit Safari and see if it helps.

Crystal Reports XI - Display multiple reports in the same viewer window

Post Author: crystal_dev
CA Forum: General
Hello,
We recently upgraded from CR 8 to CR XI. In CR 8, we were able to display multiple RPT files in the same run time viewe window and the reports would display in different tabs. However, we are not able to accomplish the same in the CR XI version of the crviewer.dll. Each report comes up in a different viewer windows which can be quite annoying to the user.
Any way to do this in CR XI?
Thanks.

Hi Smitha,
Wow - complicated reporting structure! What the business wants can be done by creating direct reporting relationships between the positions - using the "005" relationship. However, this is complicated and is difficult to maintain as there are probably frequent changes to this structure. Also difficult to control if there are three chiefs in one org - who would approve vacations, pay raises or expense reports in Org Unit 1? Per this structure any of the three could without consulting the others (all chiefs are equal).
Recommended: Five separate Org Units - One for each Chief. Org 1 has Position S1; Org unit 2 has position S2 as Chief and and position S5. Org unit 3 has S3 as chief and S7 and S8 reporting to him; Org Unit 4 has S4 as chief; Org Unit 5 reports to Org Unit 4 and has S5 as Chief with S6 and S7 reporting to him. You have S7 and S5 reporting to two different chiefs. You may have a "dotted line" relationship for functional reports, but again recommend that there be only one individual who can grant pay increases, approve vacations, etc. The dotted line or functional relationship can be handled via a "Matrix" relationship.
You and the business will have to sit down and decide the real "reporting" structure of this organization. "Who reports to whom" and then build the structure around that. You should not reproduce the structure as it has been just because many years ago with another system someone created a bunch of boxes. SAP is flexible enough to handle any reporting structure, but for ease of maintenance, understandabilty, adaptability to Workflow and flexibility, please try to use the standard structure of Org Units with one chief and separate Org Units reporting to that one each with its own chief.

Interactive Report view is empty

Hi,
I'm on CRM 7.0 EHP3. I'm encountering empty report criteria and display when open the Campaign effectiveness and all other interactive report page. Please see the screen shot below. There is no error message on the screen, as well as ST22.
I've configured the interactive report and ran the configuration wizard /CRMBW/CONFIG_WIZARD successfully and no error found.
Also the roles SAP_CRM_OR_ADMIN, SAP_CRM_OR_CONFIG and SAP_CRM_OR_USER and SAP_ALL are given to the user in both clients.
Please let me know what could be the causes.
Thanks in advance.
cheers,
julius

Okay, problem seems solved. I don't know if it is a bug or a feature... (: Anyway, this view selects data from threads that had been created from a portal application. And if you create threads from WC_Collaboration server admin console, there's no data will be selected with FORUMCRAWLER_VW view. Sorry, have no time to check SQL query for those DB view, may be this behaviour is reasonable.

Crystal Report Viewer and Windows Vista

Hi,
We are using RDC methodology for launching the crystal reports in the web using ASP.
The web server operating system is Windows 2003, Crystal Reports XI is installed in it. Report is not launching in only one client machine. For all the other client machines reports are launching perfectly. The problem is blank white activex control is displayed. I tried to register the crystal reports viewer (ActiveXViewer.cab available in the crystal installation folder) deliverables in the client machine but after installing the deliverables same problem persists.
When I click on the Crystal Report viewer Internet Explorer Exception occurs

Hello,
First thing to do is upgrade to [CR XI R2 SP4 full build|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100011802732008E/crxir2_sp4_full_build.exe]. Then get up to Service Pack 6 and you should not have problems with Vista.
CR XI R1 will not and has never been tested on that OS.
If you do not want to upgrade though use Process Monitor to watch for Access Denied errors. Also run IE in Compatibility mode.
Likely what is happening is your test PC doesn't have rights to install ActiveX controls.
Thank you
Don

Built in viewer not displaying XML report

we are working on a test system that was originally developed elsewhere, using TestStand 4.0. It is generating XML report files, but not using the default NI schema, instead using both it's own 'custom' schema and reportgen sequence file for the report formatting. When it was running in TS 4.0, it all appeared to operate correctly, i.e. once the execution had come to an end, the built in TS viewer showed the XML file formatted correctly as defined in the XSL file.
For a variety of reasons, we have needed to upgrade to TS 4.2.1, and as a result, the built in report viewer no longer displays the XML report at teh end of an execution. Instead, it shows an error ...
'The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
XML document must have a top level element. Error processing resource 'file:///C:/<file_path>/TempReport.xml'
Looking in the <file_path>, there is a TempReport.xml file, which is empty, hence the error message, but there is also the correct xml file, with data in. Clicking on the 'Viewer' button in the built in report viewer kicks off IE, which correctly shows the saved report file, complete with the formatting as defined in the xsl file, so it would appear that the custom reportgen sequence is still doing it's job correctly, just that the built in viewer has a problem... (Incidentally, if you try to refresh the viewer, as suggested in the error message, it brings back the same error, but repetatively creates a new TempReport file, with a number appended...)
I've traced through the sequence model (this is the default model) and the tempReport file is only created when the sequence model finishes, (In fact checking the value of the Locals.ReportFilePath variable right at the end of the sequence model shows the correct filename...) suggesting that it is not a sequence problem, but rather something built into TS? (I saw some comment on another forum entry suggesting that a temp file is created when using IE as an external viewer, to prevent a memory leak)
Realistically this is not a major problem, but it has got to the level of annoying now, having to open an external viewer even though the built in one is loaded by default... I'm guessing that the built in viewer is just a simple browser? if so, why is it being passed the wrong file/creating an empty xml file. If I set the report back to standard xml, I see the report ok, but without the formatting.
It seems odd that this breaks in TS 4.2.1 but works fine in 4.0, when TS is meant to be backwardsly compatible
Any ideas would be gratefully received...

Thanks for the suggestion Anand... As it turns out, you were very nearly right. It turned out that it wasn't actually the stylesheet path that was causing the error, but instead the original developers had over-ridden the use of the standard NI xml report handler sequence to use one of their own, by setting the ReportOptions.format to a different name from xml. In the Setup Reports Display sequence call (uses a sequence in the modelsupport.seq file) there was a pre-condition on the format name, and as it no longer contained just xml, the precondition failed, and the sequence call that sets up temporary paths etc. never ran. I added an additional precondition state, to check for either xml, or the format used in this case, and everything sprung back into action. I'm not sure whether something similar was done previously in TS 4.0...
Is there a list of these known problems in TS 4.2.1? I did look around the NI site a bit before posting the initial question, and didn't see anything that seemed to detail this...
Once again, thanks for your assistance
