Creating Crystal Reports with Crystal Report Server XI

Hello,
I am new to Crystal Reports, i installed Crystal Reports Server XI R2 on Windows 2003 server with SP2 and was able to launch Inforview application and also Central Management Console Log On.
I can also see some sample reports which are installed during installation.
Now my next task is to create Crystal Reports using Crystal Report Server XI R2. How can we create a crystal report now by only using Crystal Report Server XI R2?
Do we have to install some other application to create Crystal Reports? I donot see any link on my server which i can use to create crystal reports. The only links which i can see are :
Business Objects-->
     Crystal Report Server-->
                        .Net Administration LaunchPad
                        .Net Infoview
                        Business View Manager

Two ways to create reports:
1) You install the Crystal reports Designer (CRW32.exe).
With your Crystal Report Server, you should also have received a second CD that would have the CR designer.
2) You use the RAS SDK and create reports on the fly using the RAS report creation APIs - .NET or Java. Since you are in the .NET developer forum, I assume you might be interested in the .NET RAS SDK. Here is a list of resources i would recommend:

Viewing sub reports with Crystal Viewer XI

I am getting an error message when I try to open up a Crystal Report that has sub reports included.
"This report contains invalid subreport linking parameters."
Any ideas on how I can save report with sub-reports so that they can be read with Crystal Reports Viewer XI offline?

Hi Anders
Are you getting the error message in Crystal Report Designer or Crystal Report Viewer?
Would suggest you to follow the below steps in Crystal Report Designer:
-Create a fresh report,in which insert linked sub report based off your database.
-Create a fresh report,in which insert linked sub report based off Xtreme Sample Database.
With this we can narrow down the issue ,whether this error occurs with this particular report or all report?
Thanks

Can you please suggest any work around for this?

I'm not referring to Servlet threading issues.
I'll clarify.
You have two threads, both entering ReportClientDocument.open(...) method.
Thread 4 is waiting to acquire 'com.crystaldecisions.reports.queryengine.av@15214b9'
Thread 0 is waiting to acquire ''com.crystaldecisions.reports.queryengine.av@12e0415'
So I'm thinking ??? are they the same objects?
My specific question concerning the ReportClientDocument is that both are calling open - i.e., trying to open a new report. You wouldn't be trying to open different reports using the same ReportClientDocument - so was wondering if you've cached the RCD and trying to open two different reports at the same time on the same instance via different threads.
You'd normally tie a ReportClientDocument instance to a HTTP Session, to ensure each user gets their own copy.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

How to schedule Crystal reports with crystal server

Hi,
We are using just crystalreportsxir2 installed on the desktop, no business objects and we r not using any server
My question is how to schedule reports with out server and I donu2019t want to use windows scheduler. Is there any way to schedule reports like this?
If it is not possible scheduling reports in above mentioned way
We want to buy a crystal xir2 server, in such case is it possible to schedule reports with the server we donu2019t have any portal and we dou2019t want to use any third party tools
Pls help me in resolving this issue
Thanks,
Sri

Hi Sreedhar,
Did you find any option Scheduling for the report with in crystal designer.
We need Crystal Enterprise or Server to schedule the reports at regular intervals.
We can schedule the report for our required destination, we can view the reports with default viewers with in the Enterprise.
There is no need of using any third party tools.

Naveen.

Error '80070002' when running report with Crystal 9

Hi,
A client of mine is using Crystal 9 designer and RAS. We are trying to get them to upgrade but in the mean time when ever we create a new report we get the following error:
Error '80070002'
(there is also a random file path but can't show this for privacy reasons)
From what I can make out the current set up appears to be ok: they have the correct SDK files in the right place on the production application server.
These files point to the RAS which sits on the QA application server.
When we run the report through Crystal designer the reports runs fine, however when we run it through our HR application we get the above error.
Strange thing is though all of the pre-existing reports work fine...which is why I think the set up must be correct otherwise none of the reports would run, this is only happening with new reports we are trying to create.
It's like the page tries to connect to the RAS but gets kicked out.
I've tried seraching this and other forums but have not seen anybody else with this error.
Any one got any ideas?
Many thanks in advance

Moved to .NET BOE SDK forum ( assuming this is a ASP.NET app )
First thing to try is to turn logging on for RAS, stop the RAS server and add "-trace -crpetrace 7" ( I think these worked for RAS 9 ) and then look in the logs to see what the actual error is reported by CE 9. The error you posted is a COM error.
Next we need to know if this is a WEB app or Windows App and what Dev language you wrote it in?
What happens if you create a New report using the same database tables and info?
Thank you
Don

Connecting SAP standard report with Crystal report

Hi all,
I've a SAP standard report S_ALR_87012284 using which I need to develop a dashboard using Xcelsius but before that I need
to build that report in Crystal reports.
Now is there any way to connect directly to SAP standard report from Crystal report ??
Thanks
John

Hi John
I am not sure about the link to a standard Report. I don't think it is possible, As far as I can work out the closest you will get to what you want in CR2008 is a link to Data Clusters, Data Dictionary and Function Modules CR. Perhaps someone with more experience than me can offer more insight though.
If your goal is to utilize CR2008 just for the ability to link to Xcelcius you should check out the following site, as it may help you approach your goal differently. This shows a great method for linking directly from Xcelcius to SAP.

Help creating a report with Financial Reporting Studio.

Hi,
Im new at Financial Reporting Studio so my question might be something very easy, for beginners.
Im trying to create a report with two columns where in each column there is the year dimension. In the first column there is the current POV for year, but in the second column I would like to set the prevoius year of the POV automatically, without using a prompt. Is there any function or way to do it?
Tanks foy yuour help!
Edu

Use the relative function.
The first column will be set to use the User POV.
For the second column... see the tab named "Functions". Select the function "RelativeMember". For the Member row - select User POV. For the offset enter -1... that will automatically select the prior year.

Course 10778 Implementing Data Models and Reports with Microsoft SQL Server 2012

Hi,
I recently imported the virtual machines for the above-mentioned course. I am running Windows Server 2012 Standard edition on my pc. When I tried the first lab exercise, I could
not open the report in MS Sharepoint Server. The error was to do with the following: "cannot impersonate user for data source 'AdventureWorksDW' ", and also "cannot convert claims identity to windows token sharepoint". I followed all the
steps in the setup guide.
Please assist me with this regard,
Many thanks.

Hi Zimiso,
Based on the error message, it seems that the issue is caused by the incorrect configuration of Claims to Windows Token Service (C2WTS) that it was not running under a domain account.
The domain account used by the Claims to Windows Token Service needs to be granted the following rights through the Local Security Policy:
Act as part of the operating system
Impersonate a client after authentication
Log on as a service
We can find these settings under Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment. Please note that we should add the service account to the local Administrators Groups ahead.

crystalreportrunner.CrystalReportRunner.main(CrystalReportRunner.java:91)I believe the error is that the SQL query in the main report is being updated with the RUN_ID but the SQL in the sub-report is not. I am not sure why the update to set the RUN_ID in the second SQL query fails, but it seems to me the JRC is not detecting it as a missing parameter and is passing the SQL including {?RUN_ID} to Oracle, causing the JDBC driver to fail with this NullPointerException. I think this because further up in the log I see this:-INFO - Executing query: SELECT v.* FROM v_ger_main vwhere v.run_id = 254INFO - Verifying databaseINFO - Executing query: SELECT h.* FROM v_ger_av_ls_tagging hwhere h.run_id = {?RUN_ID}ERROR - QueryEngine error: verify database failed.Both connections are from the same database, but the first has the updated value (254) whilst the second query still seems to have the parameter and so fails to verify.Can someone suggest how I can fix this problem or if I have missed something that is required?Thanks.Jon.

What happens if, instead of passing in parameter field values, you pass the report source object to the viewer (ReportViewerBean for stand-alone or CrystalReportViewer for web)? The viewer should introspect the report for the parameter fields and bring up a parameter field entry dialog box. Does such a dialog box come up? Is only the main report parameter field queried for, or both main and subreport paramter fields? When you enter correct values for the field, does the report display?
Hopefully, the above should narrow down the issue.
By the way, JRC doesn't support ODBC connections, only Java based connectivity such as JDBC, JavaBeans and XML. If you have a report with ODBC, then it looks for a JNDI connection with the same name.

Report with sub-reports have to put ODBC credential several times

I designed a report with several sub-reports in Crystal XI, which all have same ODBC connection, when other developers got the .rpt file, they open the designer to run this report from their local PC, it will prompt them to put their user name and password for the ODBC SEVERAL TIMES. We all have the same ODBC connection set up, after they put the user name and password several times, the report works, but itu2019s so annoying.
Is there a way to avoid putting ODBC user name and password in Crystal Designer? Or put once at main report and pass to all subreports?

Hi,
According to my understanding if we are using an odbc connection and the username and password for the database is same for the entire user, then you can just create an ODBC connection string in crystal report. Where in you will manually specify the dsn to be used, username and password will also be stored in that connection string.
So next time you run a crystal report, it would take the username and password for this connection string.

Scheduled report with sub-reports (Encapsulating page failed).

Hello Everyone
I am fairly new to reporting and SAP.
I do have a main schedule report containing 4 sub-reports in the sections and 1 sub-report in the page header.
The report runs fine in the Infoview development folder, But whenever its deployed in system_testing folder, it doesn't open and gives the following error:
"ERROR IN FILE XXX:Encapsulating page failed."
I talked to DBA to change the permission for the user, but they don't agree. since its a scheduled report, user can only access the instance of the report, not to run it.
How can I make sure that the sub-reports don't run when user opens the report.
I appreciate any help in advance
Thanks and regards
MJ

Hi All,
We have been facing the "Encapsulating page failed " error sporadic in our Crystal reports. It is not happening always.
We have tried with different user accounts, it did not help much. Also tried various suggestion from the following SAP Notes:
1536964 - Encapsulating page failed - The error change to Database error when the preference is changes
1211088 - Error message "Encapsulating Page Failed" - This is not the case with our reports, we still have some reports facing the same error without an subreports in it
1543412 - Infoview warning: "Error in File xxx : Encapsulating page failed - tried implementing the recommendation , but no help
1900672 - Error: Encapsulating page failed while viewing Crystal Reports based on stored procedures in BOXI 3.1 -- Our reports are not based on stored procedures.
We have faced this error in many different version of BOXI 3.1 like SP4.1, SP7.1, SP7.2. But the behaviour is similar. We have a clustered machine with 2 BOE servers and 2 Tomcat servers.
I have tried activating E2E tracing, but I really couldn't understand the reason for error from the logs. Our reports connect to datasource using webservices.
some information from the error traces.

I would like someone to help me troubleshoot the problem. I can share the logs if needed. Please direct me to the correct forum if this is outdated.

Changing JDBC Datasource Configuration for Report with Sub reports at once

The Env details are as follows
CR Developer
Version 14.0.2.364 RTM
We are using JDBC Connection Datasource for our CR2011 report which contains 30+ sub reports. Each of the sub report uses a JDBC Datasource to connect to Postgres database and Since the JDBC connection string changes on each environment we need to edit each sub report every time we switch environments.
Is there a easy way to accomplish this on all sub reports at one shot?
I am aware that if we use ODBC connection it would be easy since we can just change the DSN config and it will start working. But we are not using ODBC connection since We are seeing that our report (with too many sub reports) crashes when we use ODBC driver for Postgres.
Any help/suggestion would be appreciated.

Hello,
CR also has a fully support Java Reporting Engine. If you have Java developers available check out this forum:
SAP Crystal Reports, version for Eclipse
You can find more info and samples from here:

Trial of Crystal 2008 with Crystal 8 installed?!

I have Crystal Reports 8 installed on my PC. I use it quite a lot.
However, I have been thinking of finally uypgrading to Crystal 2008 Advantage (Crystal and XCelsius).
I've downloaded the zip files, but I have installed them yet. If I install the trial version, will it destroy my Crystal 8 install. I don't know if I am going to buy Crystal 2008 yet.
I don't want to destroy my Crystal 8 install just to try Crystal 2008 and then end up not buying Crystal 2008. I would have a broken installation that point.
Can you have Crystal 8 installed on same PC while reviewing Crystal 2008?
Thanks,

Glenn:
I have had multiple versions of Crystal on my machine at the same time and the only issue I have had personally is that it always wants to open up .rpt files with the last version I installed. I have had 8.5, 10, XI R2, and 2008 all on my laptop at the same time, and was able to use each of them individually without an issue. I wouldn't be afraid to install 2008 on your PC.
