Changes in RPT file - Upgrade from CR 2008 to CR 2011

Hi,
We have more than 500 Crystal reports 2008 in XI 3.1 and we will be upgrading to BI 4.0 soon.
We will be migrating the contents using Upgrade Manager Tool from old CMS/BIAR to new 4.0 CMS. CR 2008 will be automatically upgraded to CR 2011 when we use UMT.
Does this automatic upgrade change the rpt file?
Is there any change we will see when we open the report in 4.0?
Thanks,
-Ganesh

Hi
Upgrade process will not make any changes to your .rpt file and also you will not see any changes / modifications in your report on BI4.0.
Here we are migrating from 3.1 to BI4.0, this will just transfer your reports from one server to another server that it. If you open your .rpt files in CR2011 and make some changes (add new functionality) and publish on your BI4.0 then only you will see the change.
Thanks,
Sastry

I just upgraded from my 2008 MacBook to a new Macbook Pro. How do I get my time capsule to work on my new MacBook? I did data migration, but the time capsule did not pick it up. Any ideas?

If you migrated all the info from time machine to your new MBP. The TM will usually ask to connect to the old backups.. sorry I am not sure is this what you want to do.. Personally I think you start a fresh backup.
BTW Time Capsule does not do anything.. it is a dumb hard disk in a box.. it is TM that does everything.
Look at B5 and B6 here about connecting to your backup.

Disable Rpt file format from export options

Hi all,
I would like to know if there is a way to remove/hide/disbale export to Crystal Report (Rpt) file format from the list when u run a report in the Crystal Reports.com ?
Thankyou

Hello,
You are correct. Non-administrator users will not be able to download an rpt file from crystalreports.com if that checkbox on the report's properties page is unchecked. As a side note - this checkbox also appears on the report upload page if you want to enable download right from the beginning.
Users will still be able to export the report to other formats like PDF or word though. We do not have a way to block that yet.
This checkbox is only available for report documents since the very nature of PDF or office documents involves users downloading them to be able to view them.
Cheers,
Steve

Upgrade from sqlserver 2008 to sqlserver 2014, can I put software into different drive other than C: ?

Originally my sqlserver 2008 software was installed into E:, but I didn't see any drive selection options available during the upgrade steps, so now my sqlserver 2014 is installed into default C: drive.
If there are any ways to specify different drive ?
Thanks
Sophia Su

“Upon doing the initial upgrade, can I designate the target drive/letter”?
I didn’t see a place to change it in the upgrade process.
I don't want to uninstall sqlserver 2008, I just want to upgrade from 2008 to 2014 and be able to put the sqlserver 2014 software into the same drive (not C:) as my sqlserver 2008 is.
If previous version was on E drive upgraded version should remain on E drive as well. AFAIK there does not comes an option to specify different drive letter when doing in place upgrade how ever if you do side by side upgrade you can install new instance
of 2014 on what ever drive you like
In side by side upgrade you have to first install SQL Server 2014 and then move databases using backup and restore then migrate logins and jobs using scripting method.
After you are sure your upgrade process is complete you can uninstall 2008 instance.
How do you check your SQL Server 2014 is installed on C drive. Please note even if you install SQL server on some other drive(like D,E..) some binaries always go on C drive thet nature is by default , if you are looking at binaries then its wrong to
deduce that your SQL Server is on C drive.
Can you go to E drive can you see program files..Microsoft SQL Server ?
Please also read file location of Installed SQL server Instance

Hyper-V host server upgrade from Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1 to Server 2012 R2 Datacentre

We are about to upgrade our Hyper-V host servers from Server 2008R2 Enterprise SP1 to Server 2012 R2 Datacentre to take advantage of the latest Hyper-V features.
This only concerns the host servers and not the guest VMs running on the hosts (they will be upgraded next year).
This is what is running on our host servers:
Host 1
File,print & issuing CA server
Exchange 2010
SharePoint 2010
Quickbooks server
Domain controller 1
Offline CRL CA
Host 2
SQL 2008
Forefront TMG 2010
Domain Controller 2
Windows 7 client
With this is mind, I have drafted a rough action plan as follows:
Create a list of all file locations for VM memory, snapshots, virtual memory and Hyper-V config files
Document all existing system settings
Gather server information, download drivers, RAID controller and other boot drivers & firmware updates (in case the in-place upgrade fails)
Test all software media
Copy all VMs onto external data storage (NAS drive)
As part of the upgrade process we will redistribute some hard drive space i.e.
expand them to their new sizes and verify the data integrity of copied VMs by powering up each VM in a test environment
Wipe and adjust the sizes of the host partitions to accommodate the expanded VMs
Perform an in-place upgrade to Server 2012 R2 Datacenter
Check EV, services etc
Change the default locations for VM memory, snapshots, virtual memory and Hyper-V config files
Upgrade Anti-virus and other system software
Test the system
Are there any glaring omissions? Does anyone have any tips they can give me?

Hi Marco,
always do a fresh Installation of your hyper-V Hosts, you could end up doing a lot of Troubleshooting with Drivers,Addons etc.. new Installation ist way faster.
Depending if you have a Cluster or Standalone Servers there are different ways to do it.
When you have installed your 2012 R2 Hyper-V Server you just can Import the VMs from the new Location.
As far as i know VMs with snapshots are not supported, so you have to remove them before doing that move and commit the changes to the vhd files, the VM need to be offline on 2008R2 to do that.
You do not Need to Export the VMs on 2008R2, just copy it, normaly you should have all Files of a VM in one Folder.
A working Backup is always your friend on such Tasks.
When the VMs are running on Hyper-V 2012R2 do not forget to Update the Integration Services.
Make Sure your Servers Hardware are still supported with 2012R2, see Server Catalog and Support Matrix of the Vendor.
And last one, where possible and supported convert the VHDs to VHDx Disks, after testing the first boot of the VM.

Temporary *.rpt file disappears from temporary directory on Websphere Application Server 6

Hello,
I'm having trouble after publishing to my WAS v6 environment. The report will begin, creating the appropriate jrc_tmp_######.rpt file in my temporary directory.
For small reports (10 objects or less), the temporary report disappears, I am queried for my login and any parameters, then the report opens. The temp file never comes back. All subsequent requests for the report from *any computer* return with an I/O Error and this later in the log file:
Caused by: java.util.zip.ZipException: ¤u2022'u2022-¦u2022@u0192-"-(tm)...¢¢u2030-u2022@"...£u02C6-
Any reports with > 10 objects (any combination of data fields, text, images, formulas) the temporary report disappears and only the same I/O error appears.
In my test env. on windows, using the Rational Application Developer v 7 WAS test server, the temporary report stays until the report times out...
Has anyone else on WAS 6 had similar problems? I've no idea how to proceed.
Thanks!
Terese

Would you be able to do one test?
Early builds of the IBM Java JRE 1.3 and 1.4 had issues with the JIT compiler that caused strange IOExceptions.
Would you try, in the WebSphere admin console, turning off the JIT for the JRC application, to see if the problem goes away?
If so, I recommend upgrading to the latest IBM Java JRE build for your version of the Java SDK.

Changes in templates post upgrade from 5.6.1 to 5.6.2

Hi,
We have developed templates using XML publisher version 5.6.1. We are currently having XML publisher version 5.6.2.
Any modifications done in the existing templates using 5.6.2 version changes the
source code, size and several other attributes of the templates. That is, the
entire template is changed. We are facing the following issue in the reports due to
this.
Issue: Many Reports have Barcodes in them. The Barcodes are used for scanning the details of Items etc. In the Reports which uses the original version of the templates (5.6.1), the Barcodes are scanable. But we need to modify the Templates in order to add a few fields, text etc. After modification in version 5.6.2 the Barcodes of the report generated from these modified templates have become un-scanable. We are unable to track the reason for this and this issue is causing serious business problems.
Any inputs on resolving this would be highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
KSK.

When you say you followed the upgraded step in the guide carefully, in addition to the database upgrade, you didn't run the UpgradeManagerDriver.exe, did you? That is intended for upgrading from 4.5ws only. As far as I know, the upgrade from 5.0.1 consists basically of:
Uninstalling/reinstalling the portal and job server and other software (saving the config files for reference/reconfiguration)Running a single database SQL scriptIf it was much more complicated than that, then perhaps you corrupted the DB?

Steps to upgrade from sql 2008 r2 se (nonclustered) to sql 2012 se (clustered)

hello,
I am currently running a non clustered instance of a sqlserver 2008 R2 SE and need to upgrade to a clustered instance of SQLServer 2012 SE. The underlying OS is Windows 2008 R2 SE. I already bought the second server with the same os online but havent installed
sql 2012 yet.
I am thinking of backing up my databases and script out all the logins and linked servers first.
Then upgrade the SQLServer 2008 R2 SE to 2012 SE. But can I upgrade it to a clustered instance directly? If yes then I can definitely add the other server to the cluster while installing sql.
Can someone point me to the right steps for this upgrade process
Thanks

Hello,
Direct upgrade to cluster is not possible without installing SQL server in cluster aware mode. I would recommend you need to uninstall SQL server 2008 R2 and then create windows cluster between two nodes and then install SQL server in cluster aware
mode.
You are right with taking up complete backup of all databases with logins and jobs.

I compared the registry with a working system but the Counters - and all other keys - looked fine.
At the same time as upgrading a DC a colleague was updating an unrelated server, and he started to see similar events in the event log (but for the Dell OpenManage Essentials service, not ADWS). The error was complaining about KERNELBASE.dll which set my
spider sense tingling. We knew that this server had Windows Updates pending. Fully updating it solved the problem on that server.
I solved the ADWS problem in the end by fully Windows Updating the DC. In particular, the ADWS Service started successfully after installing KB2919355 and rebooting. That also
'unlocked' a further 59 updates pending.
After the in-place upgrade I always fully Windows Update but I'm 99% certain that KB2919355 did NOT show up when I did a Check for Updates straight after a reboot so I thought the DC was up-to-date. I then spent hours investigating the ADWS problem and rebooted
as part of the diagnostics. It was then that I noticed on the logon screen that there were updates pending...
Moral of the story? Windows Update, then Update again, and again, and again. The length of time it takes to Windows Update after an upgrade from 2008R2 to 2012R2 is painful though.

Changes to rpt file not recognised

Post Author: annedonnelly
CA Forum: General
Hi,I've been asked to help a company whose software supplier is being a bit awkward. The software is a stock control package and some of the reports are created using Crystal.They want to make some minor changes to the reports - moving fields about, changing labels, etc. The supplier told them to purchase Crystal v10, told them where the reports are and said to make the changes required and save them in the appropriate folder.We tried all of that yesterday with no success. Although we made obvious changes to a report the changes weren't displayed when the report was printed by the stock control system. Is the stock control system not using the .RPT file? Should we be saving the report in another format? I tried removing the .RPT file temporarily and the stock control system was still happy to print the report so I suspect it's either compiled into the executable or it's another file altogther.We tried all the obvious things like restarting the stock control software (even rebooting the machine). We weren't able to preview the report in Crystal as the data source (an XML file) is apparently created at runtime. I used Crystal many years ago but have no experience with recent versions.Any hints would be welcome.ThanksAnne

You don't even tell us the name of the software package, yet you expect us to respond intelligently about its inner workings?
I think that you've taken all of the right steps, you seem knowledgable about software. What I would do is a search of the machine for all RPT files. You don't bother to mention HOW this app launches reports either, is it browser based, a Windows program, and idea of the language or the API used?
Do you know how to add in new reports? You might be able to delete the old ones and then publish a new one.
If you require further assistance, please include information about the application.

WSUS hinders OS upgradation from win 2008 R2 Sp1 to Win 2012 STD

Hi Experts,
i have a server with WSUS role on win 2008 R2 Sp. While upgrating its OS to Win 2012 STD, it undergoes in complatibity check and displays to uninstall WSUS before proceding. Is it necesaaring to remove the role and continue the installation
? Is there any other way to over come this problem , other that removing the role and re-assigning after OS upgradation ?
Thansks

Hi,
As far as I know, Windows Server Update Services 3.0 SP2 cannot be installed on Windows 2012, so I suggest you uninstall it, and then migrate WSUS to V6, please also go through the below threads for more helpful information:

SharePoint 2013 Server OS upgrade from Windows 2008 R2 to Windows 2012 R2

Is it possible to have SharePoint 2013 farm to have mixed version of OS (Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2012 R2).
We have a request to upgrade our farm servers from WIN 2008 R2 to Win 2012 R2. We have 5 servers in farm -
2 App servers - running with Central Admin, Service Applications, User Profile
3 Web Front End Servers- running web application, search and workflow manager
the database layer is separate on sql 2012 R2
We want to upgrade OS from windows 2008 R2 to windows 2012 R2 and SQL to SQL 2014.
What will be right approach to do OS upgrade in above scenario to minimize the impact of downtime.
May be add windows 2012 based servers in farm one by one and replace the windows 2008 R2 based servers from server.
Regards,
Kunal Abrol

Its possible, but I wouldn't recommend it. The problem is that you can only install SharePoint 20103 on Windows Server 2012 r2 using the slipstreamed SP1 version. I assume that you used the regular version to install on you Server 2008 r2 versions.
Even if you upgrade those servers to SP1 there are some minor differences in the builds between slipstreamed SP1 and upgraded SP1. So although it will work it isn't recommended.
Also, you should be aware the upgrade of inplace SharePoint servers running Windows 2008 r2 to Windows 2012 r2 is not supported.
To upgrade to server 2012 you'll need to add 2012 servers to your environment using the slipstreamed version os SharePoint and then remove the old server 2008 r2 servers as soon as possible. For the period of the upgrade you should be able to get away
with running the farm in a mixed state.

How to change table defnition after upgrade from 9 to 10 ?

after upgrade from 9 to 10, tables ddl still like 9i:
.................PCTFREE 10 PCTUSED 40 INITRANS 1 MAXTRANS 255..........
................ inndex PCTFREE 10 INITRANS 2 MAXTRANS 255 COMPUTE STATISTICS..........
Is there a method to convert it all tables to new 10g style without re-create thousands tables then emp/imp one by one?
Thanks

What do you mean by "10g style"? Do you want tables to be using ASSM? If that's the case, that's a feature of tablespace itself. So it means that your tables need to be in those tablespace which are having Segment Space management auto set in them.I don't think that there is any automatic package which can do the same on the fly.
One way ,which may not be very less time consuming but still can help is to convert the segment space management using EM.But again,this does recreate teh tablespace so I don't think that this is any different from exp/imp.

Change in RAW File Size From CS5 to CC?

I've been shooting with a Nikon D700 in RAW format. When I was using CS5, my RAW files were opening up in Photoshop at approx. 11" x 17" at 300 dpi. (4256 x 2832 pixels). Since I've upgraded to PS Creative Cloud, however, the same RAW files from the same camera are opening up at approx. 9" x 14" at 300 dpi., with the SAME number of pixels...and I can't seem to find any way of changing that. Can anyone advise what's going on here?

911pix wrote:
I seemed to have more choices; now, unless I check the "Resize" box I'm just left with the "Default 12.1 MP" option. If I leave this unchanged, and open the image from the RAW ACR dialog screen by clicking on "Open Image" at bottom right, it simply opens at 9.44" x 14.187" at 300 dpi. Any other ideas?
You seem to be confused about how many megapixels your camera has. You have 12.1 megapixels. 4256 x 2832, which is most certainly NOT 11 x 17 at 300 ppi (do the math).
Or maybe you didn't realize what Camera Raw was doing before with the setting you chose.
Check the Resize to Fit box. Go ahead, it won't bite. It will give you the opportunity to open your D700 images at an upsampled resolution, as before (which, by the way, is a good idea; you can get better quality images that way - I do it all the time).
