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.

We have a problem with printing crystal report over web using ActiveX Control. When clicking print button, it only shows a blank dialog web crystal viewer page without any error. The page just simply hangs. We installed the PrintControl DLL and enable all the security setting for ActiveX Control for IE. It still does not print. Does anyone know why?
Environment.
Bundle Crystal Report v10
Asp.net 2.0
IE 6.0 or higher.
Appreciate for your help.

A team member here found this, I haven't read it, I'm not sure if our problems are related to this, but hopefully it helps someone:

When Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is enabled, using the ActiveX control to print reports from a Crystal 10 DHTML viewer results in the following error message:
"A communication error occurred, printing will be stopped."
How can this error message be resolved?
Resolution
This is a known issue with Crystal Reports 10 and Crystal Enterprise 10 viewers and has been tracked. The Track ID is ADAPT00282199.
This error occurs due to the receiving application performing a case-sensitive check for the HTTPS request header value "ON". When a sender application sends the value as "on" in lower case, the error occurs. The update below changes the receiving application to be case-insensitive.
Hot Fixes or Service Packs address this issue as indicated below. With the updates, this issue is resolved.
Unless indicated otherwise, Weekly Hot Fix updates from our FTP site have only been tested with English versions of products.

Publishing crystal reports to web

Can anyone give me an idea of how to publish the crystal reports to web. I know we need Crystal Reports Server for that. Apart from that what are the other steps.

Hello,
there are some solutions:
- Deploy CR Server and than the users could access the Reports via InfoView (Web Portal of CRS)
- Shedule the Report as 3rd Party format (pdf, xls, etc.) to a webserver like IIS or Tomcat so the users can view the report via a browser...but that would be very static
- shedule the report to a network share and deploy CR Viewer to the Client PCs. So the users could view the .rpt format.
Regards
-Seb.

Convert crystal reports to OBIEE?

Does anyone know of a tool that will convert crystal reports to OBIEE or how difficult it is?

There is no tool as both products are from different vendors. You need to manual conversion, mean get the requirements noted form crystal reports and build them in OBIEE from scratch. Using BI PUblisher is recommended,as most of the crystal reports uses custom sql.

Crystal report vs Webi Report

Hi Expert,
My client have WEBI and Crysal Report both installed in the system. They want to change all Bex reports to either in Crystal report or WEBI .
My question is what all we need to consider while suggesting a particular type of report. When we should choose WEBI over crystal report?.
Please answer me considering the fact that they are curently using BEX report in SAP BI environment.

Hi
Crystal is very flexble tool, if you want to use BW with crystal reports, you need to install SAP integration kit to get connected to your BeX queries and pull the data into report.
If you need more secure environment you can go for WEBI reports, these reports can be based off a semantic layer wheich is very secured.
Thanks,
Sastry

Crystal Reports to WebI Reports!

Post Author: Rohini
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
Hi,
I am working on converting existing Crystal Reports in XIR2 (and SQL Server 2000 stored procs/views with Parameters as data source) to WebI reports by creating Universes. Some of the reports has sub-reports linked to the main report through parameters and different stored proc as data source. I am new to WebI and Universe design. How can I implement such reports in WebI?
Appreciate your help!
Thanks,

Converting Crystal Report to Business Objects

I am looking at a requirement to convert some Crystal Reprts to Business objects. Perhaps one who has done this can advise some of the issues here. What is straightforward and not, how to go about, how do you convet formulas,. etc

Which Business Objects product are you looking to convert to? WEBi, DESKi, other?
If so there are no conversion utilities, reports would have to be rewritten. If the Crystal Reports were based off of a Universe then the same Universe could be used but a new webi or deki report written from scratch.

Printing Crystal report from web

I am using crystal report 8.5 and Coldfusion MX 6.1
I open my report in a blank page. Everything show up
properly.
However, in my report, I have 12 pages. When I print it it
only show up as 1-2 pages. I notice that on screen, when I click
next ( to go to the next page of the report ), the url show up as
whatever my path is and the word "report" + the page -1 + htm
eg. If I am on page 2 of the report, my url would be
\\localhost\mywebfolder\report1.htm
Anyone have the same problem? Any solution?
* I am thinking of taking off the grouping in the report, see
if that make any different!

Hiya,
It isn't clear how you are calling the report (cfreport,
location, etc.,).
With 8.5 professional and higher, there is report server; 8.5
enforces the five instance connection license that the 8.0 version
implied and the 7.0 version didn't have at all. This methodology
allows for using the Crystal web report engine which supports the
use of an ActiveX viewer or Java Viewer.
I have an annoyance where an application that has run for
more than five years using the ActiveX viewer used to run without
prompting for database credentials but now does.
Take a look here for some hints
http://www.vordesigns.com/Portal/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=154
I can send you the page cfm pages I use but it references a
table of report names, you will have to do a little of your own
debugging to get it to work in your enviroment.
There is also a topic post in March from me

... or is it one of my pseudonyms?

Converted Crystal Report Not Executing in Info View

We are in the process of testing BOXI3.1 sp2 fix pack 2.8. The problem we are having was not occurring in BOXI rel2.
After saving a Crystal Report developed with version 11.5.0.313 using CR2008, the report was run successfully within Crystal Reports. I'm assumming that the report was converted to 2008 format due to saving the report.
The report was then saved into the repository from Crystal Reports. After logging into Info View the report was scheduled. The report that normally returns results in less than 5 seconds from Crystal just hung in Info View. After 4 hours the the task was cancelled. Even though Info View presented that the report was "running", there ws NO thread started with the database. This was confirmed by our DBA
The report was rewritten from scratch using CR2008. This report was able to execute to import this report
to Info View without error.

Thanks for your response.
Before I read your response, I tried tweaking my reports and was able to resolve the issue.
Steps taken to solve the issue are the following:
a. Value not showing one field of four (4) reports.
Solution: I created new ones and integrate it in VB 6. The values are now showing. Tweaked on the line object properties, got a problem with the extended line but solved it by adjusting the height of the detail section.
b. Value not showing in sub-report.
Solution: My report used a shared variable so I can pass the condition to my sub-report. I used the new reports and just pass a query during runtime. The values in the subreport is still not showing. I added a formula and called the value in it. Values in the subreport is now showing.
I'll try to update the crystal reports version as suggested at a later time.

Is there a way to convert Crystal Reports to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 reporting services?

Post Author: Lourdes Hernandez
CA Forum: General
Our department has always worked with and we love Crystal Reports. Unfortunately, certain reports now need to be converted to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 reporting services which from what I read I think they are *.rdl reports. Does Crystal reports have any way around this? I would have to learn this other tool when I'm already so happy with Crystal. I was thinking If I could just code the report in crystal and export it in a specific format that would be compatible Microsoft, the problem would be solved.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Ditto!
There are some software packages to convert from CR to RS, but none work 100% AFAIK, and will require manual tuning.
Seems like a big hassle and learning curve just to get reports published via another method - I know I'd put up huge resistance if they tried to take my CR away from me!
