Converting Crystal Report 2008 report into webi

BO XI R2 SP1
Crystal 2008
Windows 2003
I was wondering if it is possible to convert reports built in Crystal 2008 into webi using some mechanism within BO. Please help if you know how to do that.
Thanks!

Sorry.There is no way to do this. The RCT only converts Deski documents to Webi.
PS: This question was previously asked and answered [here|Converting Crystal Reports to Webi;.

Crystal Reports 2008 - Report off of Active Directory

Hello,
I have found a few articles on how to do this, but they don't seem to follow my wizard.
Can someone provide a tutorial on how to create a Crystal Reports 2008 report against active directory?
I have been able to do the following so far:
1) Create new OLE DB (ADO) connection
2) From Provider, choose OLE DB Provider for Microsoft Directory Services.
3) The fields I have are Data Source, User ID, and Password.
- I do not have a field for "LOCATION" that is referenced in documentation I have found on here.
4) I enter my server.domain.com:389 for active directory, a valid username and password.
5) It seems to create the connection, and wants me to ADD COMMAND. I haven't been able to find a command that actually works online. Does anyone have one? I.e.: Employee and Supervisor names.
Thank you,
Lin

backing up a step or two, make sure that the username you are using has a domain alias infront of it, something like "mydomain\myusername" should be the correct format. even if you don't get an error when you create the connection it may be incorrect. when entering in a command is the only time it actually tries to authenticate against the AD server. If you make a mistake when entering in the original connection (anytime before the add command part) remember that you will need to exit out of Crystal Reports and come back in. the connection can not be remade or edited once entered.
Now, as for what to put into the query, you will probably need to talk with your windows AD administrators. the one I used for my organization was something like this (replace the stuff between the <> marks with your data):
SELECT samaccountname, sn, givenname, mail FROM 'LDAP://OU=<yourOU>,DC=<yourdomain1>,DC=<yourdomain2>'
remember you can not use * to get data, it seems to take what ever properties you directly name. if you need names of properties or items to call, I'd recommend a quick google search on LDAP SQL queries.
I hope this helps

Crystal Reports 2008 - Report Load error - Memory Leak Error?

Hello
 
We have a problem with Crystal Reports 2008 with .NET 2.0.
 
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, Version=12.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304
 
The problem is that during high amount of report producing, errors in eventlog pops up and the production of reports using 
Crystal Reports stops.
 
Below are examples of the three most common event logs.
 
We have tried to implement a cleanup method both as a destructor (with a global ReportDocument rdoc variable) and using direct call to cleanUpDoc() method when finished with loading doc:
 
~IOServerClass()
 
 
 cleanupDoc();
 
 
 
 private void cleanupDoc()
 
 
 try
 
 
 if (rdoc != null)
 
 
 rdoc.Close();
 
 rdoc.Dispose();
 
 rdoc = null;
 
 
 this.CleanGlobalEvents();
 
 System.GC.Collect();
 
 
 
 
The doc is loading using the "normal" method (in-process).
 
 
try
 
 
 rdoc = new ReportDocument();
 
 rdoc.Load(fullpathandreport);
 
 
 catch (Exception ex)
 
 
 cleanupDoc();
 
 
...process doc....
 
cleanupDoc();
 
 
Furthermore we have tried during Scalable tests of the system - but cannot produce the below errors ourselves. Only the customer can.
 
Please help with solving this problem.
Is the above advisable to do?
Should the document be loaded in another way?
Is it a memory leak?
 
Regards
Kristian

Hi;
First, ensure you have the latest service pack / hot fix for your version of Crystal Reports, and that the client has the same updates as well. Fix Pack 2.4 is the current latest, and can be downloaded from our downloads section.
One of the errors is the Background Processing error, so have a look at the following article:

How to convert Crystal 8.5 Reports that use queries to Crystal XI reports

We were using the following:
Crystal Reports version 8.5
Crystal SQL Designer 8.0.0.0
CRW32 8.0.0.8
We have now migrated to Crystal XI.
Most of our reports use queries created in the Crystal SQL Designer.
This is the message we receive when I open a report in Crystal XI that uses a query:
Reports based on Crystal Dictionary or Crystal Query are no longer supported. Please change these reports to use Business Views.
How do I convert a Crystal report that uses a query to use a Business View?
Thanks,
Mac Bradley

Hi Mac,
There is a Database Migration Wizard that was available but the link is broken now. I'm tracking down where we can get it from. Check your CD, it may be on the disk.
Currently it's only shipped with our Enterprise Product because it converts Queries to Business Views and Views to Command Objects.
If you have Enterprise Available you should have a link off the Start Menu.
Back up your reports first....
Thank you
Don

Need to count the number of groups in a Crystal Reports 2008 report

I have created a report with three levels of grouping. There are several items in each level. I want to count the number of groups. I have tried countdistinct but it counts the number of items in the lowest level of grouping and I want the number of items in the higher levels. This is a distribution data base. I have the data grouped by date, by truck on each date, and by "run" or load on each truck on each date. I want to count the total number of groups of truck and run, which is the second level of the grouping. Any ideas? I am fairly new to Crystal.

Hi Debbie,
     To count the number of groups please try the folling steps:
1) Create a formula @reset and place this formula in the page header
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar i:=0;
2) Create another formula @evalgroup place this in the group header where you want to count the values.
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar i:= i+1;
3) Create another formula @display and place this in report footer.
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar i;
In order to display the count of details which are printing in the detail section place the eval formula in the detail section and the @display formula in the group footer.
Hope this helps!!!

Vinay

CR2008 Not enough memory while exporting reports from Crystal Reports 2008

 Report.Close();
 Report.Dispose();
Creportviewer.ReportSource = null;

GC.Collect();
GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();
Can someone help me resolve the issue.

The .rpt file size is 14MB with the Data Save option enabled, 12MB without Data Save. Presumably the 12MB file size is because of the 24bit PNG we have as our background.
The Designer executes the report in less than a second and we can scroll through all pages and see the image fields perfectly.
When we Export to PDF, the Designer takes a long time, eventually gets to the 77%, the 7th record and returns "Export report failed" followed by "Memory full". If we export only page 1 of the 3 pages, it also returns a Memory full error. However, when the same report is run with only 1 page, that page exports to PDF but with a ridiculously large size and export time.
The machine has 2GB of physical memory with an 8GB pagefile with Windows 2003 (latest everything). The process runs up to about 1GB before reporting the memory full error.
We've also tried a variety of other suggestions posted in the other thread with no success.
We're happy to provide the RPT file to the Report Team to diagnose the problem. Ultimately, we need to be able to produce a 15 page report with approximately 45 images.
Our preferred scenario is fixing problem 2. The CR Designer seems quite capable of rendering our report and printing it to our third party PDF printer in a timely manner with small size. However, the API reports memory full.
The API resides in a dedicated reporting web service with NO other code except for loading the report, setting parameters and printing. When executing, it uses up to about 1.1GB before reporting the error.
Are there any other suggestions for fixing what we have? Are there known problems with large images in reports? Do we need to lodge a formal support request?

Crystal reports 2008 sp3 : An error has occurred while attempting to load t

Hello,
Please forgive me for posting in the CR .NET forum because we are using the full Crystal Reports 2008 product and I did not see a category for it. If there is a better forum for this question, please let me know or feel free to move it.
We are having trouble deploying our crystal reports 2008 reports to a Windows Server 2008 R2 server in an aspx application...
I have been working on this issue for 4-days and cannot seem to make any progress, so I would really appreciate your help.
Our Environment:
Development Computer (32-bit, WinXP)
VS2008 (fully updated, was not installed with its Crystal Reports feature)
Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 (downloaded and installed "cr2008_sp3_fullbuild")
Database Server (64-bit)
"SERVER2" is a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 server, fully updated
Web Server (64-bit)
"SERVER3" is a Microsoft Server 2008 R2 Web server.
We have an application that is installed on the Web server and it pulls data from the database server.
The webpages are accessing the database properly. There is a ShowReport.aspx webpage that has the
CrystalReportsViewer on it. We send parameters and logon information to ShowReport.aspx. ShowReport
works properly on our development computer and the report looks good, but it fails on the web server.
We downloaded CRRuntime_12_3_mlb.msi (X86) from SAP/CR and installed it on the web server without any issues.
Our application pool on the web server for this application is set to 32-bit mode. When I launch the
application, it works properly with the database and displays data on web pages, but when I try to
view a report on ShowReport, I get the following 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.
Please install the appropriate Crystal Reports redistributable (CRRedist*.msi) that contains the version of the Crystal Reports runtime (x86, x64, or Itanium) that is required.
According to everything that I have read, I have properly matched the DLLs: On the development computer, "cr2008_sp3_fullbuild" was installed; On
the web server, "CRRuntime_12_3_mlb.msi (X86)" was installed. They are both Crystal Reports 2008 and not .NET. CR.NET was not installed on our development computer, so our application was built with full Crystal Reports 2008 SP3. On our development computer, .ENGINE is 12.0.2000.0 and
the same version is on the web server.
So, I am completely at a loss as to why we are encountering this error. Help, Please!!!
Thank you in advance,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Did you set your project for X86 mode only? If not do so and rebuild and deploy your app.
Thank you
Don

Hi,
Can you please explain what the correct licensing would be for a SOA application for which 1 of the services is storing PDF documents (generated by using the Crystal Reports 2008 engine) into a database. These PDF documents would be made accessible through a windows application that can be used be multiple customers.
Kind regards

Crystal Reports 2008 - Blank page on server only

Crystal Reports 2008 - Blank page on server only
My report is developed in the Crystal Reports 2008 Report Designer 12.0.0.683.
I have a .NET application that takes the report file, an ODBC connection and exports the resulting report to PDF. This application is deployed as an MSI and includes the Crystal Reports .msm merge module. The report uses multiple views and tables from a single database to create invoices in PDF format.
Problem: For one particular invoice, a blank page is being added to the end of the invoice. This blank page contains the report's standard page header. There is no missing data and no missing sections on the invoice. This is only occurring when the pdf is generated on a Windows Server 2008 x64 server where the application is deployed using the merge modules.
I have installed the application locally on my Windows Vista Business x86 system and the generated PDF does NOT contain the blank page at the end.
The blank page is not generated when previewing the report in Report Designer. For the particular invoice this is occurring on, footer F and footer G are blank and therefore suppressed.
Please bear in mind that this happens only for one particular invoice that uses this report file and does not happen from my local system using the same .rpt file.
The report is constructed of the following sections:
-Page Header (suppressed on page 1)
-Grp1 header A (watermark conditionally suppressed based upon a parameter)
-Grp1 header B (Keep together - always fits onto a single page)
-Details
-Grp1 footer A (Keep together)
-Grp1 footer B (Conditionally suppressed based upon data)
-Grp1 footer C (Keep together)
-Grp1 footer D (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section. New page before but (Not OnLastRecord))
-Grp1 footer E (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section.)
-Grp1 footer F (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section.)
-Grp1 footer G (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section.)
-Report footer (Always blank. Suppress blank section)
-Page footer (Fixed static content, displayed on every page.)

Thanks for responding, Jonathan.
Is the same runtime installed on the 64 bit system? I notice from your version number that you do not have any service packs installed on the dev system. SP 2 is out and may help.
I have installed SP1 and SP2 this morning, resaved the report file and tried again but the same problem remains.
I'm not sure how to answer your runtime question. I am using the same application built with the same merge modules on both the dev machine and the production server. Of course, the dev machine has the additional complication of having Crystal Reports 2008 installed. Perhaps this is causing the difference?
Compare the printer settings between the two systems. Try installing the same printer driver on the 64 bit system.
Perhaps I am misinterpreting your suggestion, but I am not printing the invoices. I am only exporting them to PDF. It is the PDF that has the extra page. Is there a 'print to PDF' driver of some sort that I need?
Also, was the .NET application compiled as 32 bit, or Any CPU? Whichever it was, try switching it then recompiling to see if that helps.
I tried switching to Any CPU but this caused the Crystal Reports module not to load at all on the 64bit Windows server.
Thank you for your suggestions, but my problem remains. Is it worth trying with the redistributable msi rather than using the merge modules? If so, could you recommend which one I should use? I am using Visual Studio 2008 Professional.

How to configure standard report concurrent program in web forms.

I have developed new custom report using reports6i, and defined a concurrent program registered into AOL and assigned to a request group. I tested the report runs fine from form based applications. But user wants to run this new report from web forms(Incentive Compensation). I have no idea how to create a concurrent program link in the Incentive compensation module web forms.
Is there any document to configure oracle report concurrent program into web forms?
or guyz please send me the steps (screen shots) to add custom report concurrent program to web forms?
Please help guyz...I'm new to web forms......
Thanks in advance
Naveen
[email protected]

Naveen,
On some event on the page (like a button submit) you can call a PLSQL API with parameters which can further submit your concurrent Request.
If you want to see the Report output in Apps, it can be done directly. Otherwise if you want to see the value in the Self Service Page itself, then you can extend the oracle.apps.fnd.cp.request.server.RequestSummaryVO for your case.
Thanks

How to install CR 2008 Basic on web Server

I'm a web developer using Visual Studio 2008 .NET. Need to install Crystal Report 2008 Basic on web server and can't. Is there any .msi on sap.com to download and install on my web server?
Thank you

Converting a binary string into a JPEG image in Crystal Reports 2008

Hi Gang
Iu2019m having problems converting a binary string into an image in Crystal Reports 2008
I have JPEG images stored in ECC. ECC stores the data in binary format.
Iu2019m using the ECC function module SKWF_PHIO_CONTENT_ACCESS_GET to retrieve the data. This function module has an export table, FILE_CONTENT_BINARY, which returns several lines of data. Each line contains a maximum of 1,024 characters.
When I drop the T_ FILE_CONTENT_BINARY.LINE field into my Crystal Report detail section, I wind up with a report that displays all the lines in FILE_CONTENT_BINARY table. (in my case, 19 lines are displayed.)
I created a formula to collect all the data into a single string.
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar data:= data & {SKWF_PHIO_CONTENT_ACCESS_GET.T_FILE_CONTENT_BINARY.LINE}
I added the formula to the detail section and itu2019s doing a great job collecting the data.
I then inserted a picture object in the report footer, opened the format editor, navigated to the u201Cpictureu201D tab, and inserted a formula for the u201Cgraphics locationu201D.
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar data:=data;
data
My clever idea turned out to be a disappointment . . . . my picture object is blank.
Does anyone have a solution for converting a binary string into a JPEG image?

Save the JPEG in a format CR supports. Refer to the help file for the file types.

Crystal Reports 2008 fails when called from e Web Service under 64bit OS

I have discovered that Crystal Reports 2008 doesn't work when called from a Web Service running under 64bit Windows platforms (in my case Windows 2003 Server and Windows XP 64bit); practically no object is instantiated. I've tried several solutions without success.
Before creating a wrapper component to use under COM+, is there anybody who has a better and cheaper solution than creating another component to wrap CR 2008 ?

Hi Sergio,
Before I mark this post as assumed answered I would just like to say and re-iterate that at this time there is no one answer and we fully understand your concerns. As you know in CR 6.0 it came in 16 and 32 bit versions because at the time 32 bit was relatively new but 16 bit was the norm. This is also true for 32 to 64 bit, 32 is the norm and 64 bit is relatively new. We know and are well aware 64 bit is the future and we are working as quickly as we can to move in that direction. Because of the complexity of the Product it's not simply a matter of re-compiling all of our dll's in 64 bit format. The core of our data connectivity with our database drivers which are dependant on third party clients must also need to support 64 bit modes. This as well as Printer drivers also need to be 64 compatable, there are a multitude of dependencies that we rely on that must add 64 bit support. As a programmer you are well aware of the issues around Thunking back and forth between 32 to 64 bits, it can cause delays and potentially loss of data which is a whole other issue. Not to mention also that we would have to ship both versions potentially doubling the size of the distribution packages or doubling the size of the dll's to have the ability to work in both modes. Relatively speaking of course, it would not be double the size but the variables would need to be able to allocate 32 or 64 memory blocks.
The other option is to produce 2 separate versions, this alone is a massive project. Any issue would need to be fixed in separate code streams.
So I'm sure you can see it's not simply a matter of saying yes we support 64 bit. It's a massive project that is going to take time to do and we have to wait for the third party drivers to commit also.
Visual Studio .NET 2005 and 2008 is the only option if you want true 64 bit but you will be limited on what DB's you can support and export formats you can export to. They are the only drivers we did convert to 64 bit.
Thank you for your understanding
