Crystal 8.5 with VS 2005

I am upgrading a vb6 app to vb.net (2005). The reports are in Crystal 8.5. I got it to work until I converted my adodb stuff to ado.net. Now I'm stuck. Is this hopeless? The specific problem I'm having is with the following line:
objForm.CRViewer1.ReportSource = CrRep
CrRep looks good as a CRAXDRT.ReportClass
objForm.CRViewer looks good as a AxCrViewerLib.AxCrViewer
No errors happen, but objForm.CrViewer.ReportSource is still nothing after this statement executes. Any thoughts?

RDC is NOT supported in any version of .NET.
Try this links for samples and examples of using .NET and CR assemblies:

Deployment of a crystal report application with visual 2005

Hello all,
I am very new at .NET, and this is my first post to this forum.
I've created a report (example.rpt) with Crystal Reports 2008. Then I've installed "Crystal Report for visual .net 2005 component".
Then I've imported it in a vb.net project using its Crystal Report Application Template, complied it and succesfully tested it on my machine.
My next objective is to manage the deployment of my report on the end-user machine. Here started my problem.....
Following suggestions I found on the net, I tried to create a Setup Project to deploy my application including Crystal Report runtime components; the report is included in the project as an embedded resource. Apparently the setup project as been correctly builded; if I run it my machine everything is ok but on end-user machine it generated this error:
EventType clr20r3, P1 reportarts.exe, P2 1.0.0.0, P3 49feecfc, P4 reportarts, P5 1.0.0.0, P6 49feecfc, P7 e, P8 c6, P9 system.invalidoperationexception, P10 NIL.
I tried on different windows SP2 - SP3 machines, with .NET Framework 2.0 alredy installed but the error is the same.
Can you Help me please???????? THANK YOU in ADVANCE

Hi,
I have notice that
I've created a report (example.rpt) with Crystal Reports 2008. Then I've installed "Crystal Report for visual .net 2005 component".
Is that meam you have developed the reports in CR 2008(Seperate product) and installed CR for VS2005 (CR 10.5) and using CR 2008 reports in CR 10.5 environment?
Would like to inform that CR 2008 and CR 10.5 which comes with VS2005 are completely different and if in case you are converting the CR 2008 reports to CR 10.5 then you need to be careful for deployment because the correct runtimes should be installed on the deployment system.
You can check the integrated CR with VS by opening VS environment and go to help - about - and check the CR version.
If you are using the VS 2005 CR 10.5 then click [here|http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/cr_net_2005_mergemodules_mlb_x86.zip] to install latest merge modules.
Hope this helps!!

Crystal 8.5 connection with Sql 2005

Post Author: sgtpep
CA Forum: Semantic Layer and Data Connectivity
Hello all,I'm not sure this is the right forum group to post in, but here it goes:I have a problem when trying to print my crystal 8.5 reports through a sql 2005 native client.Some of them work just fine, but i get this error: "print job failed cannot open sql server" for others.I've been doing a little research, but i can't seem to find a definitive answer on this topic: Can/Does crystal 8.5 work with sql 2005 databases.I did find something about upgrading my drivers, but i'm not sure where to find them and what i should be looking for.Thanks in advance for your help,Eric

I see - the field notice does mention ICM 7.2(7)ES139.
Multiple occurrences of this issue have been observed since October 14, 2010
and on all Unified ICM/CCE releases. This is not a regression defect. The issue
occurs when a Microsoft SQL Server query operation is performed to compare the
'lastUpdateKeys' on AW and Central Controller/Logger, during the incremental
copying of configuration changes to the local AW. In addition, using the ICMDBA
tool to backup and restore the database with "Truncate Config Message Log"
option checked can lead to a similar issue that causes the ICM/CCE Router to
reject configuration updates. No UpdateAW restart is observed in this
situation.
I mistakenly thought it was caused by the SQL upgrade from 2000 to 2005.
By the way, regarding defect CSCtj65060, I NEVER check that "Truncate Config Message Log" option when exporting the config.

Geoff

Crystal report for visual studio 2005 dblogin problem

Dear Sir,
I am using Visual Studio 2005 and crystal reports for visual studio 2005 and sql server 2000.
When I am running the project from my pc where it was developed and a local server with server authentication, report is opening but from client machine there is a new screen come before opening the report asking for login issue. my reports has subreports
also.
I am using dsn file to connect with server from crystal reports where dsn file contains as follows:
[ODBC]
DRIVER=SQL Server
UID=sa
PWD=sa
DATABASE=HRISDB
WSID=S-AGD-PAY01\HRSERVER
APP=Microsoft Data Access Components
SERVER=S-AGD-PAY01\HRSERVER
so it is dynamic bcoz i need change server name sometimes. my question is when same report want show user from their pc then below screen appears:
database login
server Name: C:\program files\HRIS\HRISDB.dsn
Databse: HRISDB
user id:
PassworD:
Integrated Security: it is checked and a finish button.
(i am sorry bcoz screenshort is not attaching so I write above what in the diagloag box for you)
then i need to uncheck the use integrated security and click finish then the reports come. THis is very annoying for my clients.
Please help me how can I overcome it.
It is mentionable that I didn't use any dblogin method in my code to like setdbloginforReport(). I think there is no problem bcoz the report show correctly. Just want to know how to overcome this screen.

You know, this forum is for controls, apis, components for the user interface Windows Forms.
Unlucky enough, Microsoft does not support Crystal reports anymore for many years.

Crystal XI issues with DST

we are using Crystal XI R2 with a core product of VB6 and supporting products OF DOT NET, with a backend of SQL 2005 and 2008
Since the DST changes last week (Nov 5th) there are reports which are showing date as one day less.
the dates are fetched from the server as MM/DD/YYYY 00:00:00:000, for the perriod before DST kicked in the dates are correct, howwvere the dates after DST started the dates are displayed one day less.
we are not using any formula's, these are dates directly from a recordset. as a workaround we added i hour to the time and it is working fine.
But the question is how do we either disable the DST or correct this problem. adding 1 hour will be a huge task for us as we have more than 1000 reports.

Make sure you are on the final service pack and fixpack (sp6 and I am not sure what the final fixpack was) and test.
Other than that you will have to make any changes yourself as that product is no longer supported.

CA Forum: .NET
Hello All,
I have problems in finding solution for the following problems in line graph in crystal reports in visual studio 2005.
1)Cant customize the colour of line in the line graph. (line by series only i wanted not by group)
2)Cant customize the width of line.
3)Cant customize the line style display.
4)Cant customize the trend line or target line.
Can you please help in resolving these problems....
Do i get any extended crystal report software for visual studio 2005 to get all features in crystal reports 10 r 11 versions?
Do you recommend 3dgraphics macros is better and economical to get extended features of crystal reports in visual studio 2005?
Can anyone please help me..iam in need of these solutions urgently....
Thanks in advance for your time......cheers

I am not really familiar with all of the options for charting and what is or isnt in the bundled version.
You can download the CR XI R2 developer edition eval from the website and see if it gives you the graph options that you want. If it does then I think you can buy it at an upgrade price since you already have the bundled edition.

Crystal Repots 2008 with VS2005

I´m developing a solution using Crystal Reports 2008 with Visual Studio 2005 and Oracle 10G. When I run the solution in my pc, it runs good. But when I run it in the server it asks for the input parameters and after I input the information it says that it can´t connect to the database: Can´t open the database conection.
I tried different things such as giving permission to the C:WindowsTemp folder to the iis user, install dlls, deployment with merge modules, etc.
If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.

Thank you Jason for your repl. I do have the Oracle client installed on the server and the DSN. This weeken i format my pc and install windows xp. When I deploy the app on iis using xp it does connect to the database (it dosn't keep the state when i refresh the parameters but it does connect couse it loads dinamically a parameter). I don´t know if there is some kind of bug with Crystak Reports 2008 and Windows Sever 2003 and if there is, maybe you know of a patch to fix it. Thank you beforehand for any help you can provide.

SSO to Crystal enterprise eportfolio with SAPLOGONTICKET

Hi
We have setup Crystal Enterprise V10 to SAP Authentication and we are able to connect to Crystal eportfolio with SSO from EP6SP2 app integrator based iview without any problem, by giving R/3 userid, password via usermapping.
We have loaded verify.der from EP6SP2 in SAP R/3 and SAPLOGONTICKETS are working fine with other ESS iviews.
However for the Crystal eportfolio app integrator based iview if we change the logon method from UIDPW to SAPLOGONTICKET we are getting the login screen from Crystal eportfolio prompting for userid/password.
We have loaded verify.der in SAP R/3 and SAPLOGONTICKETS are working fine with other ESS iviews.
These are our settings on the app integrator based iview in EP6SP2:
URL template:
<System.protocol>://<System.server><System.uri>?<Authentication>
URL template fraction for SSO2:
MYSAPSSO2=<Request.SSO2Ticket>
URL template fraction for usermapping:
usr=<MappedUser>&pwd=<MappedPassword>&aut=secSAPR3
Required instance profile parameters on R/3 were set correctly, and all servers are referred with their FQDN.
Did we miss anything else that is specific to Crystal eportfolio? Has anyone successfully connected to Crystal eportfolio V10 from EP6SP2 using SAPLOGONTICKETS ? Appreciate if someone can share their experience.
Thanks
Nagesh

Hi Ingo
Thanks for your response.
1. URL that I am calling from inside the 'App Integrator' iview to access Crystal eportfolio is:
Name of the server:
<hostname>.<domain>.com
Protocol of target system:
HTTP
URI of Web Application:
/crystal/enterprise10/sap/ePortfolio/en/logon.csp
URL template fraction for Single Sign-on (SSO2):
MYSAPSSO2=<Request.SSO2Ticket>
2. URL of the Portal:
http://<portal_hostname>.<domain>.com
In both the above URLs, the <DNS domain> is same.
3. Log on to standalone eportfolio works perfect with 'SAP' Authentication. SAP User can logon to eportfolio directly from the browser using SAP userid/password.
For the above iview when SYSTEM is changed to UIDPW logon method it works perfect, and Portal user can get into crystal eportfolio from the app integrator based iview without any problem.
Once the logon method ( SYSTEM property) for the above iview is changed to SAPLOGONMETHOD single sign-on is not working anymore and the user receives Crystal eportfolio login screen.
Question is:
a) Can logon.csp file from Crystal handle SSO cookie coming from Portals and authenticate the user against SAP R/3, and let the user login successfully ??
b) Is the URL template fraction for single sign-on (SSO2) given above is corrrect/complete?
c) On support.businessobjects.com website I found that this is a known problem for Crystal 8.5 with Track/Problem ID: ADAPT00094464 and fix was given via CE8.5 Service Pack-I. Since we are running Crystal V10 I assume that this has been taken care of in the new release. Is it not true? or is there seperate service pack for V10 too..? Please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Crystal Reports 2008 with BO Enterprise XI 3.1

Hi All,
We are in the process of implementing CR2008 with BO Enterprise XI 3.1.
We have completed the installation successfully. We can connect from CR2008 client desktop directly to BI-7 using the BO SAP Connector. But We have the following issues,
1) On CMC (OB Ent Server) we don't see any business object related roles in the list of values under the authorization. We see 3 J2EE related roles only. We did everything according to the documentation. Changed JCO (sapjco.jar) along with the DLLs to various versions and even changed the 64bit to 32bit but no luck. Classpath is also set in Tomcat but still we don't see any of the BO related roles.
2) We have created a connection to universe using Designer (BO Ent). But when we try to connect from CR2008 to universe though the Business Object Enterprise Server using the client desktops, we can only select the fields for the query. But when we try to confirm the query we get a message saying NOT LOGGED ON.
Are we doing the right thing ? We have BI-7 installed on Windows 2003 (64 Bit Server) and BO Enterprise Server XI 3.1 and SAP Connector XI 3.1 Server was also installed on the same server. We have client desktops with Crystal Report 2008 with SAP Connector Client installed.
What are we missing ?
Appreciate if you could kindly help us to get this problem solved as this is dragging for a while now.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Thanks and Regards

Problem with MSSQL 2005 maintenence plan

Hi,
I am facing a problem with MSSQL 2005 maintenance plan. I created a plan which takes full backup of all the db’s and in the same plan I added a clean up task which is suppose to clean all the files older that 1 day.
To gain compression I converted this plan to lite speed. Now the problem is Backups are running fine but the clean task is not cleaning old files. The job runs fine without fail.
Any body who has faced similar problem please let me know if have the solution ?
Thanks in advance.

What display do you use with your 2005 Mac mini?

Hi all,
I was wondering which displays people are using with their 2005 Mac minis and
which (if any) adapters are necessary?
Thanks!
Mike

I'm using a Magnavox 15" LCD TV via it's VGA input on my day one mini. The original 2005 minis have a full sized normal DVI output and came with a DVI to VGA adapter. If yours no longer has that, it's the only adapter you'd need for most common computer monitors. Many newer monitors come with DVI already, so no adapter would be needed.

No images when deploying Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005

Post Author: wcl
CA Forum: Publishing
Developed a ASP.Net web site that uses Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005, everything works fine locally.
Following instructions from http://support.businessobjects.com/downloads/merge_modules.asp#07 a deployment package has been created using CrystalDecisionsRedist2005_x86 merge module and the website has been installed.
When it is deployed to a remote development server the report images are not displayed. The report navigation works, it is the images that are not found when the report is displayed.
Should the vs2005 key be entered some where on the remote server?

Post Author: wcl
CA Forum: Publishing
Thnakyou very much for your quick reply.
The directory has not been created by the merge module, which folder should it be created in and what contetants should it have?
<-edit>
an example of an image it can not find is "/aspnet_client/System_Web/2_0_50727/CrystalReportWebFormViewer3/images/toolbar/upd.gif", so does the folder '/aspnet_client/System_Web/2_0_50727/CrystalReportWebFormViewer3' need setting up?
