Connecting Oracle 10.2.0.1 to Crystal Reports 11 in WinXP 64-bit

I'm trying migrating my apps to WinXP x64 (64-bit) due to large (4GB) RAM support.
When running in 32-bit, Oracle and Crystal played well together by ODBC.
When running in 64-bit, with 64-bit Oracle, and 32-bit Crystal, I am having problems with the Oracle ODBC driver. I can create a User DSN and a File DSN that connects on test, but then Crystal rejects it as no database object or driver found. I can create a System DSN that connects on test, but Crystal can't see it.
I assume this has something to do with there being a "Program Files" and "Program Files (32)" and an ODBC directory buried in each, but don't know how to solve this.
Interestingly, SQL-Server 2005 has the same issues with System DNS not seen by Crystal, but UserDSN and FileDSN do connect.
- Will

see my post... Install 10.2.0.1.0 WinXP-64 with 32-bit client on same box?

Hi,
Thanks for your response. Please see below answers to your question:
When you say that you are not able to connect from Word Live office to server - in this are you able to see Live Office tab in word document?
Yes, I can see the Live Office tab. When I try to connect to the server to insert a crystal report I get the message "constructor exception (error: WSE 99999) Unknown error "-1""
Did the installation process was done properly?
As far as I am aware, yes.
Which version of Live office you are using? because it will help to proceed further.
LIVE OFFICE XI 3.1 (version 12.1.0.882)
Where exactly you are not getting the Crystal Reports Options? Are you facing any error message?If Yes then what is the error message.
Please see above
Are you able to login to server successfully?
I can in Excel in Live office but not in Word. As per the first message, I cannot see an option in Crystal to publish a crystal report. Do you know how I can do this? As I understand I need to publish it to the server and then Live Office will be able to see it.

Asha.

Re: Crystal Reports 5.0 (32-Bit) and Forte 2.0H16 on NT3.51

Dear Silke,
Crystal's default for identifying a table in the report design is
<schema>.<table>. You can change that by going to the Database Location menu
item and cutting the schema prefix off. You should do that for every table in
the report. The PESetNthTableLogOnInfo function will, I believe, not change
the schema prefix of a table, since it assumes you really want that schema,
i.e., as an override. Also, if you are using the propagateAcrossAllTables
feature of the function make sure that every table has the schema prefix cut
off, otherwise those tables will be skipped, since the propagate feature applies
to all other similar tables only. For example, some of the tables could be
Sybase, etc.
I believe you can change the default behaviour of the CR Report Designer in the
File->Preferences menu, so that when reports are designed the schema prefix is
not automatically attached.
I have compiled some guidelines on designing reports to make them work properly
with Forte. I will try to send them to you next week. Crystal Reports and its
C API are a good product, and you will get good performance once the report
design is set up properly.
Yours very sincerely, John Hodgson.

The hotline from Crystal told us, when using subreports you have to use
the PESetNthTableLogOnInfo and to go through all the subreports and
change the connect-string.
Our experience is, you have to do both: change the report and call the
other function for the subreports.
Thank you very much for all the tips.

Hi There,
Crystal reports stores Database name as a hard-coded
value in the
report template. So if you have to use an other
database, you will
have to open the report template and modify the
database name. I
think this is why you are getting Crystal API error.
Hope this helps!

Hello,
I wonder if we have a similar problem.
We are using Crystal Reports 5 and Forte 3.0.F.2. For
the interface
between Forte and Crystal we have in Forte a Lib using
C-wrappering to
the C-API of Crystal.
We have developed a report on a database in our
development-environment. This report comes up with data
and works
correct. It's no different if we have saved the report
in Crystal with
data or without.
If we want to use the same report on another database
in our
test-environment the window from crystal reports comes
up and when
starting there is an error from the Crystal API
function.
Both environments use the same version of an Oracle
Database and are on
Open VMS. The client for the test is in this case
always the same.
From the C-API we use the method PEStartPrintJob after
we have specified
the rest for the report.
Is there a possibility that this is the same error you
mentioned? Or do
you have any other ideas?
Any help is appreciated.

Tim,
You need to upgrade to CrystalReports 6.0. There isa bug in the
interaction between Forte and CrystalReports 5.0 (Idon't know on
which side the bug resides, but I think that it is onthe Crystal end,
since the problem occurs both through C-wrapperingand OLE
interaction), which does not allow you to invoke thePrintReport
method unless you have saved data with the report.
As far as I know, there is no workaround, and theonly solution is to
upgrade to CrystalReports 6.0.
FYI, there is no ActiveX control supplied withCrystalReports 5.0 -
you are actually using standard OLE integration.
Hope this helps...

Hi Forte-User !
We got a big problem here using the crystal active-xcontrol. On my
windows-nt 4.0 machine (with
crystal reports installed completely) all works well.On our test
machine (with only the crystal ActiveX
installed), the Forte runtime shuts down afterinvoking a special
method of the ocx (PrintReport).
The cause for shutting down (no stacktrace orsomething like that) is
a generated c++ exception in crystal -
but we don't know the cause of this exception.
Has anyone made the control work under nt 3.51 ? Doesanybody know
(exactly) what dll's we'll have
to use ?

Can Oracle materialized view be used as crystal report datasource

Hi,
Can we use materialized view created in Orace 10g database as the data source of crystal reports.
I'm using Crystal reports Server 2008 V1 version. I'm unable to find the materialized view under my data connection. I can see only tables, static views and stored procedures.
Is there a way by which I can run my reports against a materialized view created in Oracle.
Thanks
Thomas EL

Hi Thomas,
Rather than doing all of this work around to access multiple databases/servers why not create a stored procedure to do all of this for you? Search the notes area for samples on how/what CR requires to use a SP in Oracle.
Advantages is this is done all server side and CR simply waits for the data to be returned. Even if you are using a BVM or connecting directly to the SP, both cases are server side. Database servers are much more efficient and optimized to run queries and filtering data. CR has to do the filtering on it's second pass and that causes performance delays.
Thank you
Don

Connect SAP R/3 and BW to Crystal Reports

Hello,
I am trying to connect crystal reports to SAP R/3 and BW
I have installed the SAP XI Integration for SAP solutions kit. I have zipped all the files to a folder on my local machine. What do I need to do now to make this work? If anyone can give me a step by step direction that is easy, please let me know! I have a folder called Transports from the zipped file which has some files in it, however if someone can please explain where I need to go in either crystal or SAP that would be extremely helpful, thanks!
Fahad

Hi,
it would actually help if you would share the error message here as well.
You need Crystal Reports 2008, INtegration Kit for SAP and BusinessObjects Enterprise.
correct - Transports are required as well and need to be installed.

I could connect to SAP BW System through OLAP connection.But for connecting to SAP R/3 no option is there is the Database expert of of crystal reports-2008.Please let me know where I am I going wrong I don't have BOE XI.3.0 or EDGE3.1 on my system,but for Demo I need to show only connection to SAP R/3 not BW
any Idea where I can connect SAP R/3 to Crystal reports-2008 using Data base expert of CR-2008 without BOE ...??

Hi BRK,
Thanks a lot for the quick reply.Under the Database Expert I can
two folders .
1.My Connections
2.Create new connections
Under this I can see More data-sources folder but in that there is no SAP table,Infoset or FM available.
I can see other folders like OLAP,ODBC,OLEDB,Outlook,Universes,Repository etc I am not sure where it is going wrong.

Connection to Enterpise RAS Server to run Crystal Reports from Externaltool

Hi,
I am new to SDK, we have this situation
We are using Enterprise BO XI 3.1 SP2, and we use a Java based tool by an external vendor
that has Crystal reports and the vendor suggested to we use Crystal report embedded Report
Application server to run those reports.
The reports run successfully when we use Crystal report embedded Report Application server
and we are having difficulties with establishing connection to the RAS Server that comes
with the BO 3.1 Installation.
My questions are:
1) Is there a difference between connecting to stand alone RAS server and the Enterprise
server as the vendor insisted on by saying that their code looks for the RAS service name, but with
the enterprise version under the services there is only one service name CMC
2) what are the steps we need to take to establish the connection with enterprise RAS server
3) currently we are using RAS server has version 12.2.7.598 , Vendor Certified is 12.1.0.882
for the standalone server. Does the version cause any issues
Our direction is to go with the Enterprise BO XI 3.1 SP2 RAS server. Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated
Thanks

First thing to check is to determine that the RAS server command-line has specified the -ipport <port number> and that the Java code is calling the RAS server on that port.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Not able to connect to older version of CMS from Crystal report 2008

When i try to open a report kept in platform/Enterprise (XI r2 CMC) from my crystal report it says that "Access denied. you cannot log on to an older version of the CMS."
I need to copy these reports to a differnt box. please advice.

Hi,
As you are in XIR2 Enterprise version so, you can use the Import wizard to import the report.
You can create BIAR file using the Import wizard and then in the destination system use the Import wizard to import the reports from the BIAR file.

Deploying 'Crystal Reports' on a 64 bit machine

Hi,
I am trying to deploy my application on a 64 bit machine.
I am using Crystal Reports XI release 2.
When I tried to deploy it ona 32 bit machine i simply added the
CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm file to my detup project and it worked.
However, when I tried to do the same thing on the 64 bit (with a 64 bit setup project)
I recieved a runtime error message:
"An error has occurred while attempting to load the Crystal Reports runtime.
Either the Crystal Reports registry key permissions are insufficient or the Crystal Reports runtime
is not installed correctly."
after that it was said:
"Please install the appropriate Crystal Reports redistributable (CRRedist*.msi)
containing the correct version of the Crystal Reports runtime (x86, x64 or Itanium) required..."
I installed 'CRRedist2005_X64.msi' on the 64 bit machine and tried to run my setup with and without
the CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm file, and it didn't work.
What should I do next?
Thanks,
Arik

Hi Arik,
You need to use the CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm file for the application deployment.The 'CRRedist2005_X64.msi' is meant for the bundled version of Crystal for Visual Studio 2005.
You could refer to this [Business Objects Note.|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_dev/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do]
In addition, you would need to enable the 32 bit mode of the ASP.NET 2.0 on the deployment server. This is because it is necessary to run the application under 32 bit mode. Please refer this MS Kbase article for more info - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894435

Crystal Report For True 64 bit Mode

Hi,
We Have a ASP.Net Web Application with .Net Framework 4.0, Build in VS2010.
We are using Crystal Report for VS2010, Version : CRforVS_13_0_5 .
In our web Application, we have a Separate Project for Crystal Report.
Currently, I install Crystal Report in 32 bit machine and deploy the 64 bit machine using "CRRuntime_64bit_13_0_5.msi".
where the Crystal Report Project/dll/Process is running in 64 bit machine in 32 bit Mode.
But,
I want to compile Crystal Report Project project in native 64 bit mode and deploy it on a 64 bit machine,
So that it will run in true 64 bit mode as 64 bit Process in 64 Bit platform.
I don't want to run it as 32 bit process in 64 bit platform .
How it is possible, Please Suggest.
Thanks & Regards,
Abhisek Das

As simple as it gets..
Compile the application by setting the target platform of the app to X64 on dev machine.
Deploy the app on a 64 bit machine. Configure the IIS app pool to run the app in 64 bit mode.
Download and install CR for VS 2010 64 bit MSI on the server.. (for erspective SP).

Oracle 9.2.0.5 and Crystal Reports 10

I'm using a Windows XP machine as my client operating system.
When trying to create a report with more than one table in Crystal. The section where I would "link" the tables together, "hangs"... I have to kill the whole application in order to get out of it...
Oracle 8 databases seem to work fine.
Has anybody else ran into this problem? Any more info would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks,
Marcia

Hi Marcia,
I don't know why the SQL painter would hang in Crystal 10. I have found it too awkward and limiting to use. I use stored procedures for the source data for each report. This gives you the power of PL/SQL and the potential for lots of code reuse to extract your result set for the report. For example:
create or replace procedure p_myreportdata
(< your input parameters if any would be here >
,rs_rpt_data out sys_refcursor)
as
begin
open rs_rpt_data for
select <column list>
from <tables>
where < your filter using input parameters here >;
end p_myreportdata;
Use the Databaes > Verify Database function in Crystal anytime the procedure changes to pick up or remove fields or parameters.
Hope that helps!
