CRVS2010 Beta - Report Viewer Errors for Crystal Reports in VS 2010

I have a project that was written in VS 2008 targeting the 3.5 framework which contains a ton of Crystal Reports. I recieved my new license for VS 2010 and did the install along with the Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2. I converted my project over successfully. I am able to open up the reports on their own. When I try to save them they want to be converted to the new format. This also works fine. My problem is the Crystal Reports Viewer. I am not able to add any reports to the viewer without receiving error messages. I have tried using the 10.5 and the latest version of the viewer, but receive errors everytime that I try to add a report to it. I always recevie the following error:
"Error invoking 'Choose a Crystal Report...'. Details: Invalid Report Source"
I have also tried just creating a brand new report from the Crystal Report Viewer Tasks window. When I do that I get this error:
"Unable to find the report in the manifest resources. Please buld the project, and try again." "Error invoking 'Create a New Crystal Report...'. Details: Unable to find the report in the mnifest resources. Please build the project, and try again."
I have tried changed the framework target to 4.0, but this has not helped. I have tried using the 14.0 versions of the references and the 10.5 versions. I have searched all over the internet for a resolution, but can't seem to find one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same problem. You say make sure all of my assemblies are version 14. Three questions:
1. Now that I have removed all of the old Crystal assemblies from my project, what are the assemblies that I need to add back?
2. My VS 2010 "add references" popup shows me many crystal assembles (Crystal XI is also installed) which ones to I need to install now?
3. If I don't know what they are, or where to find them, how do I determine their version?
You solution reminds me of the old saying "If I had ham, I could make ham and eggs. If I had eggs!"
More information please,
J Rich

Login error with report viewer when opening Crystal report with subreport

Hi
I have a problem with a login error (database vendor code 18456) when I try to open a crystal report to view it.
The report uses data from an external payroll database but I'm running it via our Accounts system (it's a convenient front end for users to run the report from). This works fine for another report that doesn't have any subreports. However when I run the Crystal report that has subreports, the report generation process works but when the crystal reports viewer tries to open the report I get the login error. It doesn't seem to be passing the login details for the payroll database down to the subreport.
I'm using Crystal Reports version 11.0.0.1282. The Accounts system is Technology One. Tech One have provided a report template that has several formulas designed to allow Tech One to play nicely with Crystal. One of these formulas allows me to enter the nickname of the external database that the report needs to use. The external database's connection details are fully specified in the Tech One configuration section (server console). So in this case the report says use database U1 & the server console identifies U1 as being the payroll database, specifies the connection path & has the username & password required to logon to the payroll database/server.
The report is running ok & retrieving data, but for some reason the viewer is erroring. If anyone has any ideas for how I can get the login details used to run the main report to flow through to the subreport it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Sue

I understand your frustration. We can do a few things. But really, it should be Technology One contacting us. To use an analogy (which you are free to share with Technology One). They built a car and sealed the hood. You bought the car, but he engine does not quite run as it should. You bring the car to the mechanic and all he can do is look at the car as he can not even open the hood.
In any case, here is what I would do if I could open the hood (e.g.; if I was dealing with Technology One):
1) Look up database vendor code 18456. This is simply the error our print engine is receiving from the database client and it simply passes it through relatively unhandled. This you should be able to do your self or ask Technology One to tell you what that means.
2) Break out the subreport and see if it runs on it's own in the application (if this is a permissions issue - which I doubt - it should come up here too). Unfortunately, this is for Technology One to do...
3) Run the report (with the subreport) in the CR designer. Does it work there? If this is a win app and it works, we again eliminated permission issues. And we also confirmed that the report is good. Again, Technology One should do this for you.
BTW.; CR 11.0 is out of support - not sure if you or Technology One are aware of this...
4) Can the developer duplicate the issue on his development computer?
Now, there are couple of instances where you say something like; "the report works and gets data, but the viewer errors out":
+The report is running ok & retrieving data, but for some reason the viewer is erroring.
However when I run the Crystal report that has subreports, the report generation process works but when the crystal reports viewer tries to open the report I get the login error. +
How do you know the report is retrieving data? From the error I would say the report never connects, thus the error / request for a logon...
So, the short of all of this is; get Technology One to contact us. They can do it over the forums or obtain a phone case here;
http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjamer/en_US/pd/productID.98078100
Now, here is a warning. As CR 11.0 is out of support Technology One will have to upgrade to CR 11.5, before that can create a phone case, which for them and you brings up another bunch of issues...
If you do not get any joy from the support person at you are talking to at Technology One, get him to escalate the issue. They are the ones that should be talking to us...

Logon Error for Crystal Report Viewed by User When Not Included In App

I have a Visual Basic 2008 SP1 application and I'm using Crystal Reports 2008 SP0 (with FP1 + 2). I have about 50 reports using integrated security that are all "embeded resources" in the application. When I want to print one of these reports I use code like this:
PrintReports(New MyEmbededReport)
And in my PrintReports routine it just creates a new instance of a form that has the report viewer control on it and passes the report over to it. This works GREAT and I can embed all my reports right into the app and call them when I need them.
Recently however I've had the need to add some custom reports that may change more often then the app changes so I need a way for users to access their reports without a new version of the app being pushed out. So I made a routine that lets me store the actual Report.rpt file into SQL and when a user goes to run it the report is pulled out of the database and saved into their temporary files and then passes it back to my PrintReports routine as a ReportDocument. This also works fine but only on my machine. On the client machines it asks for the login information and no combination will work. I've tried multiple ways of getting around it and have spent hours trying examples found on the internet including assigning the login information before preview, running through and assigning the login information to each table, I've gone through the "Using Integrated and SQL Autentication in .Net Applications" guide, turning on and off integrated security. Nothing seems to work.
What else is there to try? As a very last resort I will have to store the reports into the app like the other ones but I'm really trying not to do this.
-Allan

Just trying to get this working. My PrintReport routine used to just have the single line to assign the passed report to the report viewer.report source property. I've changed it to this:
            Dim crtableLogoninfos As New TableLogOnInfos()
            Dim crtableLogoninfo As New TableLogOnInfo()
            Dim crConnectionInfo As New ConnectionInfo()
            Dim CrDatabase As Database
            Dim CrTables As Tables
            Dim CrTable As Table
            'Set the ConnectionInfo properties for logging on tothe Database
            With crConnectionInfo
                .ServerName = My.Settings.SQLServerName
                .DatabaseName = My.Settings.MainDatabaseName
                .IntegratedSecurity = True
            End With
            'This code works for both user tables and stored procedures.
            'Set the CrTables to the Tables collection of the report
            CrDatabase = myReportFileName.Database
            CrTables = CrDatabase.Tables
            'Loop through each table in the report and apply the LogonInfo information
            For Each CrTable In CrTables
                crtableLogoninfo = CrTable.LogOnInfo
                crtableLogoninfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo
                CrTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crtableLogoninfo)
            Next
            'Set the viewer to the report object to be previewed.
            PrintPreview.CrystalReportViewer.ReportSource = myReportFileName
And I have the exact same issue....my internal reports stored within the app still work fine for everyone but the custom reports made in CR2008 and added as files still do not.
So out of fustration I added one of the "external" reports into VB 2008 and opened it in there, did a verify database, saved it, and then added it to my SQL server but again same issue....it's like when its off of my computer it "loses" the connection information even though it still shows its there. Not sure why the reports that are embedded into the app don't have this issue.
So that gave me another idea. I took one of the reports that was originally created in VB2008 and took that and put it into the SQL then ran that like the others and IT WORKS. It creates the temp file on the client PC and runs it from there with no login issues. Now I'm more confused....any ideas? I guess I'm going to start recreating the reports I created in CR 2008 and remake them in VS 2008 since those seem to work fine but why should I have to....what would be the difference?

HTML View Error in Crystal Report 2008 Designer

Hi,
I am getting an Error when i am trying to see the HTML Preview on the Crystal Report Designer. but, It is working Properly From CMC.
I was getting the following Error.
"Failed to access the HTML Server Page
Contact your system administrator and make sure the BOE servers are running properly/
Also make sure that the default viewer URL is set Properly in the CMC of BOE
You can set the Default Viewer URL by following Steps
1) Log into the CMC
2) Clicl the APpplication Link.
3) On the applications page Select CMC, CLcik the Manage menu, A=and Select Processing Settings.
4) In the set default viewerURL, the URL Should be similarto the fllowing:
http://[hostname]:[portnumber]/OpenDocument/Opendoc/OpenDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&IDocID=O%SI_CUID%"
Kindly let me know how to resolve this issue. It was working properly. Thanks for your support in advance.
Regards
Shiva,

It is still an issue for me. I have a new install and am using WebElements to improve my reports. I am new to 2008 Server (OEM version) so it's probably something very basic. When I do a submit it shows a path of:
BOE/OpenDocument/Opendoc/OpenDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&IDocID=O%SI_CUID%
I don't even have a BOE folder. My setting as instructed on the page is correct. I have tried making changes but then the HTML preview doesn't even load the 1st page. That leads me to believe that the link is correct regardless of what debug says. Unlike other posts I have seen, my pages do not work in InfoView. After hitting submit I get:
http//servicedeskcrs:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=rpt@sDocName=Resolution%20Report.rpt&lsSSelect1=1
Notice that there is no : after http. I have a feeling it is in a setting somewhere but I can't find it.

Some reports which are taking more than 10 to 15 minutess while running through InfoView gives error as follows:
An error has occured: Request timed out.
This error appears within the crystal report server and when user tries to access through browser client desktop also. Sometimes it prompts the error as follows when users try to access through browsers from there desk i.e through proxy connection.
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy serer could not handle the request POST/report/CrystalReports/Viewrpt.aspx.

Crystal Reports XI - ERROR closes Crystal Reports Entirely

Post Author: crdev
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Our company recently purchased Crystal Reports XI. We had previously used Crystal Reports 8 and had great success using it. Our problem is that when creating a new report using CR XI after selecting our ODBC datasource and inputing our username and password crystal reports generates an error and closes entirely. There is not an error code or error description either. Our datasource connects to a secured Access database with a database password set. This same datasource worked great using CR 8. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, did you find a solution?

Tim,
If you have previous versions of Crystal Reports try removing them. As well check that there are no Business Objects or Crystal Decisions folders under C:\Program Files and that there are no Registry keys for Business Objects or Crystal Decisions in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software. (*Back up the Registry before editing)
If you are trying to install from a CD or network drive copy the contents of the install package to the local machine.
Ensure you are logged on as Administrator and that Antivirus and AntiSpam ware are disabled.

Is there any difference b/w Crystal reports accessed from Crystal reports XI R2 and Crystal reports accessed from BO Eneterprise Crystal Reports Explorer

Post Author: Sriramkusumanchi
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hi All,
We are using BO XI R2 version.
1. Under this version, the BO Enterprise product consists of Crystal Reports Explorer feature through which we can develop the crystal reports.
2. And under the same version, the Crystal Reports XI R2 product consists of Crystal Reports feature through which we can develop crystal reports.
I want to know, wheher there is any difference in the features for developing crystal reports through point 1 and point 2. If yes, then which product is the better option to go for Crystal reports development. (please note: I want the all the scheduling, automatic printing, printing on pre printed forms, etc features to be supported)
Please help us to solve this confusion ASAP.

Hi Nancy,
The server info still needs to be updated. Are you setting location for each subreport also?
Possibly this registry key will help, I only have CR 2008 installed so you'll have adjust for what ever you are using:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions - VerifyStoredProceduresOnFirstRefresh = No
and
VerifyStoredProceduresOnSetLocation = No
And
VerifyWhenDBDriverUpgraded = No
And
ViewOutOfPlaceSubreports = No
Close CR designer before making any changes. And the usual warning about modifying the registry.
Thank you

Getting syntax error in Crystal Report Viewer

The web application that I am supporting has reports that are presented through CR Viewer. The problem that I am facing is that if I pass a value to get the report, its giving the following error.
The syntax of the value of prompt 'name_of_paramente_passing' is incorrect. Please check the syntax and try again.
I am not getting this error if I run the same report through the actual Crystal report program.
So when I pass 123.1 to the crystal web viewer it wont give me any trouble. But If I pass 123.1(a) , it throws that error.
somehow the combination of pareanthesis and the alphabet is causing some trouble....
Is this a bug or some other problem.?
Version that I have:
Crystal Report web Viewer Control 11.5
Crystal Developer 11.0.0.1282
Please reply if you have any work around for this.
Thank you,
Santhosh

Thanks Mohammed. But our application is trying to pass a parameter which contains user data like section numbers....
So when we pass the value 123.1(a) , here what is happening behind the scene of CR viewer
webSource0.AddParameter "promptex-NAMEOFPARAMETER", "123.1%28a%29"
and it throws up the error
"The syntax of the value for prompt 'NAMEOFPARAMETER' is incorrect. Please correct the syntax and try again"
I have no idea why it is throwing up this errror....

Install configuration for Crystal Reports Viewer 2011

Hi,
Is there any way to configure the defaults for Crystal Reports Viewer 2011 as part of the installation routine?
Specifically we would like to:
1. Switch off the attempt (on launch) to make an internet connection for community resources
2. Hide the side bar unless the user actually goes into the view menu to turn it on.
There's various reasons for this, but mostly it's that to get an internet connection the application has to go through the proxy server - we would rather that sort of activity was instigated by the end user on demand, not an application automatically, not least in this case because the license agreement window seems to be set to force itself to the 'front', which covers the proxy server prompt, so we can't write a script to provide automatic authentication without user intervention. It would be far better if there was a way to simply switch off this feature - and at the same time set the default 'view' settings to hide the side bar in the first place.

Hi,
Do you mean the Standalone Crystal Reports Viewer 2008: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/reporting/viewer/index.epx
If you do then you can perform a slient install by following the instructions from the release notes:

DB2 support for Crystal Reports for Enterprise And Unx errors

Hi,
I have a requirement to create a report in CrystalReports for Enterprise 4 sourcing data from Oracle 11 and IBM DB2 V9 databases. My first approach is to create relational connections for both the databases in the BO Repository (using Universe designer) and use them directley in the CR for Enterprise. Here I was able to create the two connections but unable to use the DB2 connnection in the report. I get the below error:
"The Database DB2V9 is not supported".
Is DB2 is a supported database for Crystal reports for Enterprise ??
My second approach is to create a multisource universe using IDT. Here when I try to create the Datafoundation layer, I get to see the tables from the DB2 databasae but When I expand the Oracle connection, I get this error: "conversion from UTF8 to charset failed: encoding not loaded".
Im unable to create a multisource universe at all no matter what connections I use.
Here is some additional info:
SAP BI4.1 SP1
Windows 2008 R2 servers
Oracle 11g
IBM DB2 V9.7
Any suggestions please!
Thanks,
Ravinder

Hi,
First of all I would strongly advice you to only use IDT for your universe development. The old Universe Designer is a legacy tool and should not be used unless you are using products that doesn't support IDT universes.
The issue you are facing for your Oracle connection is likely caused by a missing path variable.
Add "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64" to the PATH environment variables on the SAP Business Objects Enterprise server.
Restart the SIA
NOTE: Modify the path in case the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise is installed in different folder.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Josh

Hi,
Its a best practice to use the code given below in the unload event of the page or the code can also be written in a button press event so that the disposing is ensured manually(If sessions are in use).
boReportDocument.Close();
boReportDocument.Dispose();
GC.Collect();
Note: boReportDocument is the object of ReportDocument.
This code disposes the report object after using it.

Cannot load report from server in Crystal Reports 2013 Viewer

Hello,
I am having trouble opening a report that is hosted on a Crystal Reports Server (2013) from the Crystal Viewer. I've created and uploaded the reports using the report designer (version 2013). The reports have been uploaded using the "Save As -> Enterprise" to save to my enterprise server. This part works fine. I then navigated to the Crystal Reports Viewer to open my report (that I just uploaded w/ the designer) from the server. Depending on the report, one of two things happens:
1.) I get a loading bar at the bottom right of the screen that says "Operation in progress . . ." followed by an error message:
Unable to Refresh Report
A problem occurred while refreshing on the server. The report may not be configured properly for refresh.
Please contact your server administrator. (me)
2.) I get a loading bar at the bottom right of the screen that says "Refreshing <file name of the report> (<server name>)" followed by... nothing. The loading bar goes away and nothing happens. It goes back to the screen that shows when the application first loads (blank canvas).
I've taken some basic troubleshooting steps to try and rule out any potential issues that came to mind, but I've not been successful.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
