Can't see MySQL views in Crystal Reports in VS2010

I am creating a report in VS2010. I have used Database Expert to create a new ODBC connection and I can see my database and its tables but I can't see the views that are there. In Options for the connection I have both Tables and Views ticked. Can anyone help?

Hello Peter
Make sure you are using Service Pack 5 for CR for VS:
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-7824
Make sure the ODBC datasource is a System DSN
Are you able to see the views if you try OLE DB?

Can't see Pivot view in Navigated report.

Hello all-
I have a main page report and a navigated report which is linked to one column of main page report.
I used Pivot views for boh the reports.
However, I could see Pivot results on dashboard for main report but, When I navigate to the second report, it is not being shown in Pivot view ( I need Totals which can be obtained through pivot view).
Where do I need to check?
Thanks

Insted of giving navigation to a report give navigation to a page.Create a separate page for the navigated report(pivot) and hide the page.Then try it will work.

Java Plugin Viewer with Crystal Reports 2008

Hello,
I am trying to use the Java Plugin Viewer with Crystal Reports, but I have some problems. The ActiveX Viewer works well, but as I want to use the reports in other browsers, I need the Java viewer.
I have a Visual Basic 6 application, and, instead of including SmartViewerActiveX.asp, I have included JavaPluginViewer.asp. I have taken this file from an older version of Crystal, and I am changing the values on it (I have done the same with the ActiveX Viewer, without problems). This is the main code of the file:
<OBJECT
    classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
    width="100%"
    height="100%"
    codebase="/crystalreportviewers11/JavaPlugin/Win32/j2re-1_4_2_04-windows-i586-p.exe#Version=1,4,0,0">
    <param name=type value="application/x-java-applet;version=1.4">
    <param name=code value="com.crystaldecisions.ReportViewer.ReportViewer">
    <param name=codebase value="/crystalreportviewers11/JavaViewer/">
    <param name=archive value="ReportViewer.jar">
    <param name=Language value="en_US">
    <param name=ReportName value="RDCrptserver11.asp">
    <param name=CanDrillDown value="true">
    <param name=HasExportButton value="true">
    <param name=HasGroupTree value="true">
    <param name=ShowGroupTree value="true">
    <param name=HasPrintButton value="true">
    <param name=HasRefreshButton value="true">
    <param name=HasTextSearchControls value="true">
    <param name=HasZoomControl value="true">
    <param name=HasSearchExpert value="false">
    <param name=HasSelectExpert value="false">
    <param name=ShowLogo value="false">
</OBJECT>
I know how to change all the values of this object so it works with Crystal2008 except one: the codebase.
I have gone to IIS, and under the virtual folder "crystalreportviewers12" I don't see any JavaPlugin folder, there's only the JavaViewer folder, and there isn't any .exe inside...
So, where can I find the .exe for the codebase?
I have tried searching the web for a tutorial or something, but I haven't seen anything for Crystal 2008.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you very much!

This is so wrong, I don't even know which forum this would belong to ( I think I'll move it to the SAP Crystal Reports, version for Eclipse topic Space...
Let's start with this:
I have taken this file from an older version of Crystal,
Don't mix versions. It will not work. Period
Next re:
I don't see any JavaPlugin folder,
If you want a Java solution, I'd recommend using CR for Eclipse which you can download from here:
SAP BusinessObjects - SAP Crystal Reports, Version For Eclipse Download
I would then recommend having a peek here:
CRJ SDK
Developer Help File is here:
https://help.sap.com/javadocs/cr/xi/jrc/en/overview-summary.html
Finally, I'm not sure what references you are making in your VB 6 app, but there is no SDK in CR 2008 that supports VB 6.

Which is better to use Store Procedure or Views in Crystal Reports ?

Hi,
which one is more better to use Store Procedure or Views in Crystal Reports ?
Thanks.

It depeneds on the requirement. Well, but from performance point of view as u know that stored procedures are already compiled on DB side, they would be more efficient. Views are handled differently. Here CR has nothing to do with it.
But if the stored procedure u r using is having 2 Select statements, CR will only display the results from the first select statement. In that case you need to use Views as one can use more than one views in the report and join them.
Using a Generic view which is created by the DBA for a larger audience will result in performance issues meaning if a View "V" has 25 fields and View is based on 5 tables and ur report is using only 5 fields which are coming only from 2 tables inside the view,in this case u will end up in joining 3 more tables unnecessarily.
Hope this helps!

Using DB2 views in crystal reports with java

Post Author: Shikha Tomar
CA Forum: JAVA
Hello,
We have used DB2 views in Crystal Report 11.
We are able to view the report through crystal report tool but while using this rpt file in java application,the DB2 view is not found.
It gives an error: "table SCDC.View_report not found."
SCDC.View_report=Name of the view used in rpt
Code for calling rpt is as below:
The line marked as red gives the error:
private static void switch_tables(DatabaseController databaseController) throws ReportSDKException, IOException {
final String URI = "!com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver!jdbc:db2://"SERVERNAME":"PORT"/"DATABASE_NAME"!"+"";
final String DATABASE_DLL = "crdb_jdbc.dll";
//Obtain collection of tables from this database controller.
Tables tables = databaseController.getDatabase().getTables();
CommandTable commandTable=new CommandTable();
//Set the datasource for all main report tables.
for (int i = 0; i < tables.size(); i++) {
ITable table = tables.getTable(i);
//Keep existing name and alias.
table.setName(table.getName());
table.setAlias(table.getAlias());
//Change properties that are different from the original datasource.
table.setQualifiedName(TABLE_NAME_QUALIFIER + table.getName());
//Change connection information properties.
IConnectionInfo connectionInfo = table.getConnectionInfo();
//Set new table connection property attributes.
PropertyBag propertyBag = new PropertyBag();
//Overwrite any existing properties with updated values.
propertyBag.put("Trusted_Connection", "false");
propertyBag.put("Server Name", SERVERNAME); //Optional property.
propertyBag.put("Connection String", CONNECTION_STRING);
propertyBag.put("Database Name", DATABASE_NAME);
propertyBag.put("Server Type", "JDBC (JNDI)");
propertyBag.put("URI", URI);
propertyBag.put("Use JDBC", "true");
propertyBag.put("Database DLL", DATABASE_DLL);
connectionInfo.setAttributes(propertyBag);
//Set database username and pasword.
//NOTE: Even if these the username and password properties don't change when switching databases, the
//database password is not saved in the report and must be set at runtime if the database is secured.
connectionInfo.setUserName(DBUSERNAME);
connectionInfo.setPassword(DBPASSWORD);
connectionInfo.setKind(ConnectionInfoKind.SQL);
//connectionInfo
table.setConnectionInfo(connectionInfo);
//Update old table in the report with the new table.
databaseController.setTableLocation(table, tables.getTable(i));

Error message when trying to view/print Crystal reports in B1

I get the following Error message when trying to view/print crystal reports in SAP B1/Crystal Reports Integration Tool for SAP Business One:
" Could not load file or assembly 'Crystal Decisions Windows Forms, version=12.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, Public Key Token=692fbea551e1304' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. ????

Hi
Common issues for this :
1. Once you install crystall add on ,you need to go to Crystal report Administration >Account setup .
Put on the user name and password and click on creating ext tables
Try then running the report .
If not the case ,
make sure you install runtime .
You need :
1.Crystal report basic from SAP download -(Not necessary if you want only report viewer >
2.You need to have crystal integration addon (I think service pack is SP1)
3.Make sure you have runtime install
When you are installing ,make sure you restart your PC before you do or remove temporary file s
Hope this solves your issue

Depends on datasource type but you could have a look at ODBC trace or if you have access to the SQL Server you could use profiler to monitor the session.

Can I get the Version a Crystal Report Was Designed Against

Hi,
I'm working on a web application developed in C# using the Crystal Reports runtime 10.5 that came with Visual Studio.
What I am trying to do is to check the version of a Report File that the application is trying to run before actually running it.
So that a Report written in Crystal Reports 11 can be flagged as being potentially incompatiable (as it may contain new features not supported by the runtime).
Is there any way to get this version number in C# code?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Steve

Thanks for the reply.
In the application I'm working on people can write and upload their own Crystal Reports. The application then runs these reports for them (also doing other things such as exporting (PDF) and emailing the report).
At the minute, and in past releases the application uses the 10.5.3700.0 runtime. Everything functions fine in the application.
My only concern is that a user could write a report in Crystal 2008 using functionality that is in Crystal 2008 but not supported by the 10.5.3700.0 runtime.
Therefore when a user uploads a report I was hoping to analyse the rpt file to find out what version they used to design the report. Then if it is not designed in version 10, inform them that some functionality may not be supported by the current runtime.
I've had a go through code and found a property called MajorVersion which seemed to be just what I wanted, but it was Non-Public so unfortunately this wasn't available to use.
((CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportClientDocumentWrapper)((CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.EngineObjectBase)(sInfo)).m_rasRptClientDoc).MajorVersion
I was hoping to go for this solution of warning users rather than compiling using the Crystal 2008 runtime, as updating the runtime may incur a cost to current customers who are happy using 10.5.3700.0.
I hope that is a bit clearer.

Crystal Reports for VS2010 Prerequisites for ClickOnce Deployment

I keep getting this Error when publishing my application with clickonce even though I have Crystal Reports for VS2010 installed: I want the prerequisites to be downloaded from the same location as my app. Publishing fails with the following error.
The install location for prerequisites has not been set to 'component vendor's web site' and the file 'Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\CRRuntime_32bit_13_0.msi' in item 'SAP Crystal Reports Runtime Engine for .NET Framework 4.0' can not be located on disk.

Crystal Report for VS2010 show Login when deployed

I am having a problem with my Windows Form project in VS2010 regarding
the SAP Crystal Reports for VS2010.
When I deploy my project on client's PC it shows a login dialog box.
The client's PC is in XP.
I already installed the correct runtime in their PC.
When the login dialog box appear and the cancel button is clicked,
the Report shows correctly.
But our client did not want to always see the login dialog box.
I already try to fix it like this:
u2022 Add connection and login info in the codes (CrystalDecisions.Shared.ConnectionInfo)
u2022 Verify and reconnect the database
u2022 reinstall the runtime of Crystal Report(CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_1.msi)
But nothing works.
I am using an XML schema to display the report, I do not directly connect
to a database. Like this:
CrystalReport.SetDataSource(DataSet);
The framework I use is C#.Net 3.5.
My project is in Windows Form.
My Crystal Report for VS2010 version is 13.0.1
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

Moved to .NET SDK forum.
Can you clarify? What data source are you using? Direct connection to the DB or Dataset?
It's prompting because what ever source you are using doesn't have the proper connection method being used or the log on info is incorrect.

CRVS2010 Beta - Crystal reports and VS2010

I wanted to ask you whether is it possible in any case to use crystal reports 10/11 with visual studio 2010. Is the only option to upgrade to crystal reports for vs2010?
As I tried both versions I'm getting red cross on all of my crystal reports, and the crystal viewer could not be of course edited from vs2010 because there is no such component in the toolbox.

Hello,
Yes, no other versions of CR are supported in VS 2010 and currently there are no plans to support anything other than CR 2010 in VS 2010. They may work but if any issues we can't escalate them to R&D.
CR4VS2010 is beta, so do not distribute to a production system if you plan to upgrade your app. And it is currently only supported on Clean PC's, no other versions of CR installed.
Thank you
Don

Crystal Reports for VS2010 using a custom SAP ABAP function module data source

I recently worked with Crystal Reports 2011 and was able to connect and retrieve data from our R/3 system via an ABAP function module. While researching other features, I found this version that can be installed into Visual Studio 2010. The parameters are not very user friendly in Crystal Reports so I was hoping to create a custom dialog to collect my report parameters.
Does anyone know if I were to install Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010, would I be able to design a front-end selection screen in a Visual Basic form and then pass the input to through the Crystal Reports connection to my ABAP function module to retrieve the data filtered on the back-end by the selection screen parameters and return the results to be reported in the Crystal Reports output?
I am using Visual Studio 2010 Professional Visual Basic with the .NET Framework 4.0 on 32-bit Windows 7. I was able to connect to our R/3 system in Crystal Reports 2011, so if I were to install Crystal Reports for VS2010, would there be a similar way of connecting to SAP?
Any assistance or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bryan

Hello Bryan
I don't know for sure, but I doubt this will work in CRVS2010. Only hope is that the utility available for download in this KBA will point you in the right direction.
