Controlling Access to Certain Reports When Using Crystal Reports Server

Hi,
I was wondering exactly how security is managed when using Crystal Reports Server? Do you assign rights to individual reports via user ids in Active Directory? Or what exactly is used for user authentication? Is it possible to create local accounts? Thanks.

Usually access is controlled by permissions which are set in the CMC (BO web admin tool). You can map 3rd party groups from AD or LDAP and then assign permissions to those groups or set up security with built in enterprise groups as well. You may elect to use any combination of the above. For more complex security models there can use database and row level security built into our meta layers called business views and universes.
Regards,
Tim

When using a proxy server at work, Deezer page does not load normally?

When using a proxy server at work, Deezer page does not load normally, but when I go home and use connection without proxy, everything is fine.
It loads, and some features on the website work, but the look is not the same. Over the proxy it shows just text on the left side of the screen and I can't choose some of the options.
When I go home and use my home connection without proxy, there are no problems, everything is OK.
Could you please solve this?

Uninstall CRVS2010 that you currently have installed.
To remove the assemblies from the GAC use gacutil. Google will get you a number of links on how to. Also, see the KB [1535325 - How to remove CRVS2010 Beta 2|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333533333335333333323335%7D.do].

Hi SriBalaram,
According to your description, it seems the crash is caused by crystal report in your project. For this kind of issue, I would suggest go to its official forum http://scn.sap.com/community/crystal-reports-for-visual-studio/content?filterID=content~objecttype~objecttype[thread] for
support.

I have problems typing certain characters when using gmail or online forums. Can someone help?

When I try to use an apostrophe, when using online forums or my email (all in safari), a white bar appears at the bottom of the screen displaying the punctuation mark but it will not allow me to use it. Any idea how I can fix this?

Have you tried resetting your iPad?

"unable to connect to the data access service" installing report server

Trying to do a 2 server SCOM 2012 R2 install on Server 2012 w/SQL 2012. Management server and operations console on one, and SQL, web console, and reporting server on the other. When I get to the web console and reporting server install, and
the "Specify Management Server" screen, I input the 1st management server name and it gives me a red X with the message:
"Unable to connect to the Data Access service for this management server. Ensure the Data Access service is running and that the service, the management group, and setup are all the same version."
Here is the setup log error:
"Info: :Could not connect to Management Server: scom-app with exception: Threw Exception.Type: System.ArgumentException, Exception Error Code: 0x80070057, Exception.Message: Version string portion was too short or
too long."
I don't see the "Data Access" service in services on either server. I followed all of the setup prereqs in SCOM 2012 unleashed book, and also referenced this article for setup advice:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2013/01/16/opsmgr-2012-sp1-quickstart-deployment-guide.aspx
Everything seems to be working until I get to this point.
Thank you for any help you can provide,
Dan

Hi Tom,
1. Did the setup complete successfully on the MS and Console server?
>>>Yes, without issue
2. You do not see the service "System Center Data Access Service"
>>>I do indeed see it on the MS and Console server, it is set to Auto and running. (I also tried rebooting this server and retried, no help)
3. Is the Windows Firewall enabled?
>>>It has symantec endpoint protection. I disabled symantec completely on both servers and retried, no help.
Thx,
Dan

Visibroker Bind Error When Using Sun Application Server

I have a servlet that utilizes Visibroker 3.4 to access CORBA objects. My servlet works fine when using Tomcat; however, when using the Sun Application Server 8.2 PE, the same code does not work. After a few second delay (timout?) then the following exception is thrown.
org.omg.CORBA.NO_IMPLEMENT:
Could not locate the following object:
     repository id : IDL:A3Server:1.0
     object name : mobile5A3Server
vmcid: 0x0 minor code: 0 completed: No
     com.visigenic.vbroker.orb.ORB.bind(ORB.java:1282)
     com.visigenic.vbroker.orb.ORB.bind(ORB.java:1361)
     com.visigenic.vbroker.orb.ORB.bind(ORB.java:1171)

     A3AppGen.A3ServerHelper.bind(A3ServerHelper.java:27)
     A3SessionConnection.connect(A3SessionConnection.java:74)
Has anyone experienced this and better, found the solution. Interesting fact is that this only occurs when using the .bind(orb(), serverName); call.
Another servlet packaged in the same .war file receives an IOR and is able to successfully access the CORBA object using orb().string_to_object(serverIOR); with both Tomcat and Sun Application Server.
Thanks for the help.

Please list the content of 'asadminenv.conf'
Alternatively, you could just manually create the instance as follows:
asadmin.bat create-domain user admin adminport 4849 domaindir C:\Sun\AppServer\domains instanceport 8080 domain1

Samba mount problem when using Oracle VM Server 2.1

Hello
I´m trying to mount a remote samba share from an Oracle VM Server 2.1 installation.
To be able to do a mount.cifs, I installed samba-client manually using yum.
yum repository based on Enterprise Linux 5 Update 1
In the first step the mount failed with
CIFS VFS: Server requests plain text password but client support disabled
CIFS VFS: Send error in SessSetup = -13
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -13
After doing an
echo 0x37 > /proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags
the plain text password error message is gone.
but
CIFS VFS: Send error in SessSetup = -13
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -13
still exists.
The mount command looks like that:
mount.cifs //*servername*/*share* /mnt/*localdir* -o sec=none,user=*username*,pass=*password*
The samba server which provides the share, only accept plain text password with no chance to get this adjusted.
Is there anybody who knows how to fix this issue? Help would be really appreciated.

auth/pampass.c:smb_pam_passcheck(810)
smb_pam_passcheck: PAM: smb_pam_auth failed - Rejecting User install !
Which is an indicator that the password is transfered incorrectly.
As the password is for sure correct, it seems to me that the sec=none option is not working correctly when using OVM 2.1.
When using Enterprise Linux 5 Update 1 all is working well.
There you did not even need to use the "echo 0x37"
It works out of the box using sec=none mount option.
That is also a reason why I started this post under Virtualization and not under Linux ;-)
I assume it is a OVM 2.1 specific issue.

Do i need to authenticate when using my mail server

I am trying to send an email using my mail server who i have an account with. When i run the code it returns a connection timed out and could not connect to SMTP host. Do i need to specify my username or password if so how do i do this.
This is my code Thanks in advance
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import java.util.*;
public class PostMail{
public static void postMail( String subject, String message , String from) throws MessagingException
     String recipients[ ] = {"[email protected]"};
boolean debug = false;
//Set the host smtp address
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "mail.btopenworld.com");
// create some properties and get the default Session
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
session.setDebug(debug);
// create a message
Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
// set the from and to address
InternetAddress addressFrom = new InternetAddress(from);
msg.setFrom(addressFrom);
InternetAddress[] addressTo = new InternetAddress[recipients.length];
for (int i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++)
addressTo[i] = new InternetAddress(recipients);
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, addressTo);
// Optional : You can also set your custom headers in the Email if you Want
msg.addHeader("MyHeaderName", "myHeaderValue");
// Setting the Subject and Content Type
msg.setSubject(subject);
msg.setContent(message, "text/plain");
Transport.send(msg);
public static void main(String[] arsg) throws Exception{
     postMail( "Test", "Test", "[email protected]");
     System.out.println("Done");
     System.exit(1);

It depends on your mail server. Most mailservers dont expect you to authenticate while a few do. First, try to telnet to your mail server using the telnet utility.
telnet <mailserver address> <smtp port - 25>
220 blah blah blah...
HELO <your name - dont mind give anything here>
250 blah blah blah....
MAIL FROM <your address>
250 Sender Ok....
RCPT TO <your friend's address>
250 Recipient Ok....
RSET
250 Reset Complete...
QUIT
221 Server closing connection....
If this is not what happens, then your mailserver requires authentication and I dont know how to do it. But from what seems to be the problem, I think you are not able to contact the mail server itself. When you do telnet to mailserver just see how long it takes to connect.

How to get the total page number when using Crystal Report in JSP

In my JSP, I use the class CrystalReportViewer to generate and display the report views. But this class only sypply the function to get the info of the active view.
Thus with this info, I only can get the active view's page number. How can I get the report total page number without showing the last page first?
Thanks.

Anything you do without submitting to form has to be done on the client side (ususally by JavaScript) using data which has been send already from the server.
With JavaScript you can do quite a bit. You can download tables which don't necessarilly appear on the screen, loading them into JavaScript arrays by dynamically generating javascript. Then you can pick up events like drop-box selection and use these tables to chose what you do next (e.g. preloading other fields, setting drop box content etc.).
Or, you can cause forms to be submitted when actions like a selection happen without the user clicking a button. It's generally a matter of how much data you'd need to transmit.
Another posibility is to use a Java applet, which can generate requests to the server and handle the results as it chooses. That are a number of problems with that but occasionally it's the best solution.
What you can't do is to handle user input inside a JSP. The JSP has come and gone before the user even gets to see your form.

TLV Error when using crystal report in application from Terminal Services

Our accounting software is generating the error:
Invalid TLV record
The error is generated from every user except one, for that one user everything works fine.
i've checked the file permissions on the rpt files as well as the dll, everything is correct and i'm now lost.
Any ideas on where else to start looking?

Ah.. I hate when they do that, if you are going to write an application then support it.... At least help figure out why it's failing other than just saying it should work....
I would get on a call with them and get a Manager involved, someone there should be able to help you...
In the mean time:
First easiest way is search for crpe32.dll, there should only be one version and it should match the est of the file versions. Next step will tell you the versions being used.
OK, download [Modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip]. what this app will do is list all of the runtime files each user has access to. You can save and then compare the list files between the one working PC and any other user. Should help determine what is missing or the users profile doesn't have access to or not installed.
Another option is to use ProfileMonitor from Microsoft, it will list all access issues including the registry keys that all users need to run CR.
Can you tell me what version you are using?
Also need to know what version of TS?
OS it's running on?
And work station OS?
One more option, go to this link http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?query=boj and search on "invalid tlv" and it will return a bunch of know reasons why you can get that error.
Thanks

Controling space between Text Items when using htp.p('HTMLDB_ITEM.TEXT')

I'm using the following code inside a table tag within a loop to generate a multi-row printable form
htp.p('<td cellspacing="0" align="right" width="100%" style="font-size:8pt">'||HTMLDB_ITEM.TEXT(p_idx=>2,p_size=>1)||'</td>');
I'm still getting gaps between rows.
How do I control the space between each row ? I want each text item row packed up like a spreadsheet with no gaps between rows. Although not shown (border="0") there is the enclosing table cell for each field, so what I want is no cellspacing and maximized item height within each cell.
But with the above code I'm getting...
etc.
but I want
Anyone know how to do this?
regards
Paul P

Hi Chris , how's it goin'...
thanks for the response. I know how to control a table cell area's height but it's the height of the inner textitem that I'm having trouble with. When I turn on border="1" There's not much space left between cells, just the default width of a line. I just don't know how to expand the height of the text item. The CSS code you suggested, where do I put the code and how do I apply it?
Here is the guts of the PLSQL report code
for des_rec in des_cur loop
htp.p('<table height="100%" width="95%"border="0">');
htp.p('<tr>');
htp.p('<td style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial" width="80%" nowrap >'||
des_rec.DES_SERVICE_DESC||'</td>');
htp.p('<td cellspacing="0" align="right" width="5%" style="font-size:8pt">'||
HTMLDB_ITEM.TEXT(p_idx=>2,p_size=>1)||'</td>');
htp.p('<td cellspacing="0" align="left" width="5%" style="font-size:8pt">'||
HTMLDB_ITEM.TEXT(p_idx=>3,p_size=>1)||'</td>');
htp.p('</tr>');
htp.p('</table>');
end loop;

DVD Remote Control buttons don't work when using regular DVD player

I created a DVD using DVD Studio Pro (version 3.0.2) and am unable to navigate through any menus or buttons using the DVD players remote control. I can press the play button on the actual DVD player and play the movie. How can I fix this issue? Any suggestions would be helpful!
I never changed the default setting on the file I made and the DVD works just fine in the simulator as well as any computer DVD player. Also, is there a way to make sure the DVD will play on all DVD players even if it doesn't read burned DVDs?
Thanks for the help!

Not sure if I can add anything here - you're in good hands! I'd like to know how you constructed the menus - did you use photoshop layers for the background and overlay, or did you use a pict file? Are these motion menus or static?
About the compatibility - a burned disc will only ever be about 85% compatible with the number of DVD players out there, and if a DVD player states that it cannot read from DVD-R or DVD+R discs then it most likely won't play your disc. The only way to approach full compatibility is to have the disc replicated, but the cost of this usually means it is not worth while for anything less than 500 to 1000 discs at a time. If you are using DVD±R then all you can do is take steps to make sure the disc is as compatible as it can be, such as keeping the MPEG encode less than 7.5MBPS, using AC3 audio, not applying paper labels and so on.
Compatibility is getting better in general, this summer I have burned in excess of 90 individual projects on DVD-R (and duplicated each one up to seven times each) for playback on consumer players and only one came back (so far). When I looked at it there was a chunk missing from the surface of the disc, which probably explained the error!

Images not displaying correctly when using crystal add-on for SAP B1

If you have a jpeg logo which has a graduated colour affect on a crystal report and preview and print it straight from Crystal, the image appears normal but when you run it through the crystal add-on viewer the graduated colour comes out in different coloured blocks and the image is not as well defined.
Is there a way to stop this from happening? Is there a setting I can change?
Thanks,
Kate

Hi Kate,
At this moment I am facing the same problem: I want to display pictures on a quotation lay-out.
Tomorrow I will take a look at this with a collegue of mine. If we are able to solve this issue I will inform you.
Kind regards,
Hendri Wessels
