Can Crystal Report Server Embedded works on windows 2000 and 2008 server?

To whom maybe concerned,
It seems that CRSE 2008 supports windows 2003 series only from support platform document and windows 2000 sp4 was removed from the support list from this version.
May I know is there potential risk to run it on windows 2000 sp4? Again, How about windows 2008?
Thanks for your attention.

Hi Ted,
Thanks for your reply. May I know the time line for supporting windows 2008?
Thanks for your attention.

  • Crystal Reports has stopped working with Windows 7 and demo database

    I'm trying to get back up to speed on Crystal Reports after 10 years away. I'm running Crystal Reports 2008 Standard with the just-released Service Pack 3 (same symptom with SP2).
    So I downloaded the demo database and tried creating a new report. No problems creating a simple customer list. When I add the Orders table and link the CustomerID columns and then add the OrderDate column to the report, everything works fine. But as soon as I add the OrderID or OrderDate column, the application crashes.
    Culprit seems to be MSVCR80.dll. Here's the log:
    Faulting application name: crw32.exe, version: 12.3.0.601, time stamp: 0x4bd05d31

    Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    It may be that something was "fixed" and our default xml file falls out of the Standards now.
    Are you wanting to connect to SQL or XML?
    Go to Microsoft's site and search for C++ distribution and download and install the recommended one for windows 7. It may be that part is corrupt or our installer thinks it is there. Try doing a Repair install and custom options to select all of the DB drivers and exports types to see if that resolves the issue.
    Thank you

  • Why will a stand alone executalbe with an installer work on windows 2000 and crashes on windows xp professional?

    When I run the setup.exe file on a Windows 2000 system it installs properly, but the same file run on a XP Professional system I get an error stating Fatal Error: Installation ended prematurely because of an error.
    See here for more information on the specific installer I'm trying to use.
    In fact I get this error for any stand alone executable I try to install on any XP machines. I am using LV 7.1. Is there a way to manually install eve
    rything?
    Thanks

    Sure you can Install a lv application manually. just copy the exe-file,
    support files in a folder. For the runtimeengine just copy the file
    lvrte.dll in the folder of your application or in the windows system folder.
    Hope that helps, Niko

  • How can Crystal Report Server send reports to Fax?

    If we can fax these crystal reports directly from the server (instead of printing them out and fax them using a fax machine), then there should be significant labor saving as well as less delay to deliver the report. 
    I wonder if other people can send Crystal Reports to a fax machine. Any addtional hardware or software are needed to send fax from Crystal Report Server?
    Thanks in advance,
    Hong

    Hello,
    Crystal Report Server is not able to send reports  directly to a fax.
    However, you can send them to a printer.
    Now I believe there are some Fax softwares that emulate a printer (like Right Fax).
    So it might be a possible solution to get your document faxed like that.
    Have a look at it but keep in mind that the official answer from SAP is that it's not supported.

  • Crystal Reports 2011 not working in windows 2008 server CITRIX

    Hi All,
    We are using  Crystal reports 2011 in windows 2008 server which is CITRIX farm., having crystal reports 2011 runtime in it..
    We are using .net applicationton to run the reports.
    The crystal reports parameter popup is getting opened. But the calendar icon is not fuctioning ..clicking on the calendar control no pop up appears. no error too..
    OK button is not responding. Cancel button too.
    Can you please help us why we are facing this issue in CITRIX only. When we are using the same version in desktop, Crystal report is working fine.
    Please feel free to ask if required any more details about my problem.
    Regards,
    Venkat.K

    Ido's idea is excellent, only addition I'd like to make is the following:
    You are trying to run a .NET app. However, CR 2011 does not install any SDKs. So, the directory specified by Ido is not correct. Assuming that by CR 2011 you actually mean "SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET", then the directory would be:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\Crystal Reports 2011\crystalreportviewers\prompting
    If that does not help, use Process Monitor and see what the logs tell you (look for Access Denied messages).

  • Crystal Reports Version to Work With Vb 6 and VS 2008

    Hi,
    We have some legacy VB 6 applications which are too large to port over to Visual Studio which use Crystal 7.0
    Recently at one site there have been problems with another application which uses a new version of Crystal. Either one or the other will work but not both. This might be solved by ugrading to Crystal XI R2 ( I believe that newer versions can run side by side). However, we also have new projects starting that are to be developed in VS 2008. As I understand it, Crystal XI R2 will not work with VS 2008 and CR 2008 will not work with VB 6.
    We really donlt want to have to buy both versions !!
    Anyone got any ideas ?
    Many Thanks
    Paul

    CR 7 did not support side-by-side installs. Likely what is happening is the your app and the other app is loading crpe32.dll from the \windows\system32 folder. Which obviously will not support each other. This is the only dll that is common among all versions of CR, see below for more info, and that due to it's location can cause issues like this. Newer versions from 8.5 do version checking and athough the dll's have the same name XI R2 will not load other versions, there are exceptions. The exceptions are UFL and some legacy database drivers that will work in any and all versions.
    A few possible work arounds, in your app do version checking when loading crpe32.dll or specifically if crpe32 is residing in a memory space that some other app has loaded it and Windows will share, check the version of the dll and if in your case it's not 11.5.x.x. then pop up a message indicating they must close the other Crystal app before continuing.
    Move all the runtime files into the applications startup folder, what's specified in the Icon on the your desktop or short cut. Moving them there may fix this, we start looking for our runtime where your EXE is located and then in the working Folder, then in the \system32 folder and finally down the PATH statement. We also have hard coded specific location in our load methods. In this case you may have to rename the \windows\crystal folder from the CR 7 install. But I don't recall if this will break the CR 7 app.
    Also if you are moving the version 7 runtime or the other app it may break that application so make note what you did so you can restore it. Also highly suggested to back up everything and test this on a test machine before applying to the production PC's.
    You can use tools like Filemon and modules from our site. You can get filemon from www.sysinternals.com.
    Other than that it will not likely work due to 7 not supporting side-by-side and will load anything it finds. And of course, Don't support or install both versions of software on the same PC.

  • Crystal Reports Server on a VM

    Can Crystal Reports Server 2008 be installed in a VM?  I am attempting to test install Crystal Reports 2008 V1 in a RHEL 5.5 on Oracle Virtual Box.  I am receiving a "The IP returnd by ResolveHost was in form of 127.0.0.* (STU00134) : 127.0.0.1"

    Thanks alot.  I believe that security plays a big role in this problem I'm having.  I am tring to get the IIS version to run.  The Tomcat is not working as well, but one at a time.  I did what you said, but I'm still not getting to the page through the link in the start menu. 
    I try to access the admin page through the start menu, but the page is still blank.  But if I access directly through IIS, the page comes up.  Not sure why.  I also had to switch from .Net Framework 1.0 to 1.1  .  For some reason the pages were giving errors with 1.0.  The whole site seems to work fine within IIS; however when I access throught the browser, certain parts of the page is missing.  I believe this has to do with some security setting.
    Also, from tomcat, when I click login, the page hangs.  Any info in regards to this would be appreciated.

  • Error - Crystal Reports has stopped working

    I have downloaded the CR 2011 trial, and I am trying to open a Crystal 7 report.  The strange thing is that it was opening OK before, but has now stopped opening.   Some of the Crystal 7 reports I have are able to be opened, and others are not.
    The error is not helpful - Crystal Reports has stopped working.  Windows is checking for a solution to the problem.   I have uninstalled and reinstalled the CR 2011 trial, but this has not helped.
    Has anyone had a similar problem?

    Thomas,
    Can you create a brand new reports against those Stored Procedures?
    Are the .rpt files from CR 7 still have the old "last modified" date?
    What if you try a middle CR version, like install temporary CR XIR2, open and save the reports and then try to open in the latest version?
    Do you know if failing reports have any external links like Linked pictures, OLE objects, etc.?
    Have you ever used Process Monitor utility? It may be helpful to identify what CR is trying to do.
    Vitaly.

  • Windows Server 2008 x64 and Crystal Reports Server Embedded

    We're attempting to certify our software with Windows Server 2008 x64 and want to know the best way to configure both the server and client of Crystal Reports Server Embedded.  Currently, our software is certified against Windows Server 2003 x86, and we install Crystal Reports Server Embedded XI Release 2 (no SP) on the application server, and we deploy the Crystal Reports .NET merge modules for XI Release 2 (no SP) on any client machines.
    I believe I am correct in stating that no version of Crystal Reports Server Embedded officially supports Windows Server 2008 x64 (based on some other forum postings) until SP1 comes out (which I don't think has happened at this point).  If that is true, we can live with installing the RAS on a separate Windows Server 2003 x64, if that's even possible.  With that said, can we even get our Windows Server 2008 x64 running with the latest Crystal Reports 2008 .NET merge modules?  We've tried many different configurations between CR XI R2 SPs and CR 2008 for both client and server and have very little luck (either it won't install correctly because of x64 or missing .cabs, etc.) on both the client and server side of things.
    Can someone suggest the optimal configuration when Windows Server 2008 x64 is in the mix, noting that we can use a secondary Windows Server 2003 (x64 preferred but can fallback to x86)?  Or do we have to wait for Crystal Reports Server Embedded 2008 SP1 to be released, and if so, does anyone know of the date?
    Thanks,
    Ross Beehler

    CRSE 2008 is a 32 bit app, it works on 64 bit OS's but all parts must also be running in 32 bit mode.

    Hi, did you get this working? I'm really struggling to get up and running on 2008 R2, the CMS service just refuses to connect to the database. It also looks like the database wasn't created properly during the install. I set it up on an MSDE database, and when I look at it with sql management studio the database is there but there aren't any tables or anything else
    Can anyone either confirm or deny that its possible to run Crystal XI on 2008 R2?
    The error I'm getting when trying to start the service is:
    The root server reported an error Initialization Failure. (Reason: Unable to connect to the database using the provided connection string. Reason: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified).
    I've confirmed that the ODBC connections work (both 32 bit and 64 bit) via the built in test, but Crystal for some reason isn't happy

  • Trying To Authenticate Crystal Reports Server 2008 Onto Windows NT

    Hi Everyone,
    I've just installed CRS 2008 onto a Windows Server 2003 machine and it works using the Enterprise Authentication.
    When I go into the CMC and choose Authentication then Windows NT, I fill in all the necessary information such as the Default NT Domain and the Mapped NT Member Group. When I save everything ( Update ) and logout, Windows NT Authentication doesn't appear even though I have enabled it.
    Is there something that i'm not doing ??????
    The Default NT Domain is BountyGroup

  • Crystal Report Server embedded 2008 SP3 - Reporitng

    Hi, i have aquestion about Crystal Report Server embedded 2008 SP3.
    I am currently going to start some development work to use this reporting technology, (usng C# .NET)
    Ho can i do server side reporting with out haveing to use a .NET web application that uses IIS.
    I want to be able to run a ,NET application from the client that tell my server whic report to process and return back an object.
    Is there something where you logon or give it the credentials and returns back an object.
    Also to do this will there have to be a client runtime?
    I am not sure of how the technology works, so please excuse me if i asked something that does not make sense.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Mithal,
    You should have an OEM contract so create a case in Service Market Place and a Rep will work you through how to create and use the various options etc. when using CRSE.
    Thank you

  • Crystal Report Server XI Report recurring instances do not work. Logs?

    I have scheduled a report to be run every morning, and each instance return status is "success". However, I encountered the following problem when I try to view instances of the report: There is a long time period of waiting (seems to be waiting for some kind of timeout), and then eventually the message: "A request was cancelled. The necessary security privileges could not be verified. This indicates a problem with the security server."
    I also noticed that in event viewer (windows server 2003) I see many failure audits to login to the sql database, and the events contain the login used in my data source.
    It's interesting to note, that when I run a single instance of the report "Now" there is no problem.
    Some info about the report which may be relevant:
    The report uses 2 formula fields to auto-parameterize 2 of the 5 parameters used by a subreport. The other 3 subreport parameters are set when scheduling the report.
    The subreport uses a call into a stored procedure in a MS SQL server 2005 database to retrieve its records.
    The 2 fields which are parameterized are datetime fields (StartTime, EndTime), and the main report is basically just a wrapper to only show the previous day.
    JDBC data source to local Sql server instance.
    Also, the crystal report server XI install uses the same sql server instance to store CMS data under a separate database.
    I'm stumped on this.
    Has anybody encountered this problem?
    Is there a simpler way to auto-parameterize the report?
    Why are the failure audits occurring when I view the instance of the report? Is this because the instance is setup to use RPT output format?
    Are there logs I can look into aside from event viewer? I can't find anything that looks relevant under program files, but perhaps I missed something.
    The failure audits would make more sense to me if it occurred with the other report instances, but some instances are shown correctly, and some just do this timeout thing.

    Please post this query to the Business Objects Enterprise Administration forum:

  • After install Crystal Report Server 2011, can not access control tools

    Afte install Crystal Report Server 2011, can not access control tools from web or from application.
    My server OS is Windows 2008 R2 SP1. I follow the default setting. How to fix it?
    Error message is above.

    Is Tomcat started?  On your Start menu you should have an option to get to "Tomcat  Configuration" or, under the CRS menu you can run the "Central Configuration Manager" to start Tomcat.
    What URL are you using to connect to the web app?  By default Tomcat runs on port 8080 so your URL should look something like this:  "http://<servername>:8080/BOE/CMC" or "http://<servername>:8080/BOE/BI".
    If Tomcat is running and you're trying to access it from another computer, check to see if the Windows Firewall is turned on for the server - if it is, turn it off for "Domain" access.
    If Tomcat won't start, go to the folder where Tomcat is installed and then look in the "logs" folder.  There should be a file called "stderr.log" which you can open in Notepad to see what types of errors might be occurring (you can ignore any errors having to do with "persisted sessions".)  If there are other errors, post in the BI Platform space to get assistance.
