Crystal Enterprise 8 - Can't log on to Crystal Management Console

Post Author: SteveMoore
CA Forum: Older Products
Have re-installed CE8 on a new server and want to get into the Management Console to check licences etc.
When I try to enter the user credentials on the logon screen (User - Administrator, Password - blank) it returns the screen asking me to "Enter your user name and password..."
Incidentally, if I put something in the password box, it tells me the password is invalid.
Any clues?

hmmm
I've tried using the Report Publishing Wizard, and this will accept the Administrator / blank - User / Password combination, so it looks as though its the browser not accepting the blank password field - I've no idea why though!
Server is running Win2000 Server with SP4
Software is CR V6 Pro, upgraded to CR Developer Edition 8.5, then CE8 added

CRS is limited to single server installs, it has less functionality such as no auditing. Enterprise can be clustered across many servers, has auditing and webi/deski from E6. So which one is best would depend on the size of your planned implementation and the features that you want.

Can't log into any desktop manager KDM set autologin

Hello, new Arch user. I moved over from Ubuntu.
I installed arch on my laptop with KDE, LXDE, and Gnome. I had KDE and LXDE set up and working the way I wanted. I tried to log into Gnome. "Something" is wrong with Gnome (no idea at this point). It simply hangs at a black screen.
I had set KDM to autologin. Now I can't log in, log out, or change desktop environments. I don't know how to turn off the autologin (I turned it on when I was logged into KDE), or force KDM to switch back to a desktop manager that works.
I found my kdmrc (/usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc). It indicates autologin is disabled.
I can get to a shell (ctrl-alt-F#). I can't get to any working graphical environment.

You don't need to login with the master password. When you get to the log in screen, just log in as you would normally.

Thanks for your reply Mylenium.
OK, now I can log into my Adobe (website) account and see my purchases, serial numbers, etc. .... AND ..... I am now able to log into my Applications Manager!!
I did not do anything different from the other past few days; didn't load or download any software, nothing. Strange, but I'm glad it's back to normal now.
Figures; when I go and seek out assistance ... it fixes itself.
Thanks again ... and I hope this does not re-occur!!

I can't log in to course manager anymore. It says "error occurred"

Hello,
I wanted to log in to Itunes U course Manager and since yesterday
I've noticed that I can't log in anymore. It's certainly not an Apple ID
or password error. It tries to log in en then I get :
An error occurred - try again.
Does anyone know how I could fix this?
Thank you
François

Hey Ximenalp,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines the error message you are receiving, along with a potential resolution:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
"Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:

Can't log in to Profile Manager or My Devices with Active Directory logins

I have an OSX Lion 10.7.4 Server set up with Profile Manager and it is joined to AD.
I am able to see AD groups in the Profile Manager groups section.
I can also see and add AD users and groups using the server app.
I have enabled the "Can Enable Remote Management" check box for Domain Users through Profile Manager. I have also added Domain Admins to the Workgroup group in the Server app. I'm not sure that I want or need either of these options, but they were suggestions to try.
I am not able to log on to the Profile Manager or My Devices pages with AD logins.
I found these directions about nested groups in Workgroup Manager http://krypted.com/iphone/integrating-mac-os-x-lion-servers-profile-manager-with -active-directory/ but I don't have a com.apple.access_devicemanagement local group or any groups like are shown in the picture.
Any ideas what I'm missing?
Cheers,
Ian

I found the two pieces I was missing:
1) Install the Lion Server Admin Tools
Launch the Server Admin App
Click on the server name in the left pane
Click on the Access button in the upper part of the window
Click on Profile Manager
Either manually add specific groups to the list or if you're feeling brave choose the "Allow all users and groups" radio button
2) Run the command line steps on this page to change the authentication to plain text to support AD authentication:

Voila!

Not able to Log on to Central Management Console

Hello All
My Application was down, so I shutdown the servers and web Servlet container(tomcat).
Then i restarted the servers and web Servlet container.
I am still not able to log into CMC.
I am getting the login page, but when I try to login it says :
"The system servername can be contacted, but there is no Central Management Server running at port 6400."
When I ran the script for server start up,I got the message
Failed to register with name server. Reason: a server of this name already exists.
Please check for name duplication and validness of the server: ConnectionServer
Please help.
Thanks in advance

I hope you are working on a Unix server. If yes here is ur solution.
Check if under bobj/serverpids folder any listing is there. If yes then probably the BO are not stopped properly.
In that case u can kill the processes which are not stopped by using Kill -9 <pid>.
make sure that all processes that is BO services, tomcat services are stopped or the process are killed.
Once that is done restart the services and everything will be working fine.
Gud Luck!!!

Can't show the iFS Server Management Console

I have installed iFS 1.1 as a part of Oracle 9i AS on a Linux
machine. When I run any command from the /bin directory, nothing
happens (I run first ./ifsstart, then ./ifssvrmgr,
then ./ifsjwsstart and at last ./ifsmgr) and I should get the
Oracle iFS Manager login screen, but it does not happen.
Can anybody help me with that?
I have O9iAS, iFS 1.1 and Suse Linux 7.2.
Thanks,
Nikola

I'm on W2K but I think the order of the commnads would be
similar, My startup script is
f:
cd \oracle\ora81\9ifs\bin
start /B ifslaunchdc
start /B ifslaunchnode
start /B ifsstartdomain -s cdprod2:53140 ifssys
start /B oemctl start oms
start /B oemapp console
Replace
start /B ifslaunchdc
with
ifslaunchdc &
on linux.
cdprod2 is the hostname of my machine.

Upgrade from Crystal Enterprise 9 to Crystal Server 2011

As I know, the latest version is Crystal Server 2011 which is a part of the Business Intelligence platform 4.0. Is it correct ?
The manual says that Crystal Enterprise 9 CANNOT upgrade to Crystal Server 2011 directly. It needs 2 steps.
Crystal Enterprise 9 -
> Business Object XI R2 -
> Crystal Server 2011
But I cannot find any trial version of Business Object XI R2. How can I test the upgrade?
Is there other method to upgrade? E.g. transfer the oracle database to the new system?
Regards,
Kelvin

If you are paying maintenance, you should be able to ask for a key for XIR2 version.

Administrator's account for logging in to the PS console (and AM console)

Hi all,
I created a new organization in my portal server using the management console. Now I'd like to create an administrator who can manage this new organization (adding/deleting channels and containers) using the PS console and manage its users (adding/deleting users, roles, ...) using the Acess Manager console. Obviously, the administrator of the new organization can't manage other organizations. I red something about delegated administrators with top-level admin role... the only administrators who can log in to the managment console of PS. Can you help me?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your reply.
Because of the specifics I can only use Portal 7.1 with Acess Manager in Realm Mode.
So, I have no way to login into psconsole with other administrators further than "amadmin". Do you confirm it?
But as I red in:
1) "Sun Java SystemAccess Manager 7.1 Postinstallation Guide" at page 34:
Caution � AccessManager RealmMode is enabled by default. If you are
deploying AccessManager withMessaging Server, Calendar Server,
Delegated Administrator, or InstantMessaging, you must select Legacy
Mode (AM_REALM=disabled) before you run the amconfig script.
2) "Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 Administration Guide" at page 21:
Some features of AccessManager 6.3 are not available in the AccessManager 7.1 console.
Because of this, administrators can log into the 6.3 console through a 7.1 Legacy deployment.
This console is typically used where AccessManager is built upon Sun Java System Portal Server
or other Sun Java System communication products that require the use of Sun Java System
Directory Server as the central identity repository. Other features, suchDelegated
Administration and Class of Service, are accessed only through this console.
It's possible to login into AM console using delegated administrators. Do you confirm it?

Can Crystal Enterprise be configured so that it does not create files in the FileStore - Output

Post Author: christof
CA Forum: Administration
We are using the API to create pdf files using Crystal Enterprise but the problem is that now files are create in duplicate.We have one file which is stored in the filestore/output and another file which is stored as requested true the API. Is their a setting, configuration which could make it possible that no files are added in the filestore/output when the API is used. (when a onther filenam/path is given true the API) For now we should use a bat that removes those files every month.

Post Author: TAZ
CA Forum: Administration
Hi Christof,
If instances are being generated in the output FRS that would indicate reports with saved data as opposed to the input FRS which contains the report without saved data. I think this is needed for the conversion to PDF but you can post this question in the DEV forum and posibly find out for sure.

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.

Simple sample code to display a Crystal Report from Crystal Enterprise?

I am looking for a sample application that will "simply" view a report stored on our Crystal Enterprise server. I have looked at "boesdk_net_samples_12.zip", but that isn't really what I am looking for. And, the "CrystalReportViewer" and "CrystalReportSource" add ins for Visual Studio seem to only work with a "local" file (instead of one Managed or UnManaged on our Crystal Enterprise server).
Can anyone point me to the right place? (Navigating the SAP site is so damn confusing!)

Hi Shayne,
You are not clear on how you will know which report you want and for which user? You can query the CMS database for the user and get all of their reports but without knowing which report object ID to get you will need to have the user select one. Unless you simply assume you want the last one, but if you don't give them a choice and they miss one day, or what ever your parameter is to select, there will be no way to get back to that report.
For sample code on how to query the BOE Server look in the Enterpise SDK samples. You do need to use managed code. I don't suggest going into the FRS\output folder to use unmanaged reporting. There are a lot of folders created and it's easier to simply query the CMS database to get the latest instance.
Since you have BOE you should also have a support contract. I suggest you log a case on line in Service Market Place and get a dedicated Engineer to assist you.
This may be simply easier for you to use the Personal Favorites folder of the user so they can browse all report instances belonging to them. I suggest you talk to the BOE Administrator for more info on what BOE is capable of doing. what you want is fairly easy to manage with Enterprise itself.
Thank you
Don

Crystal Enterprise 9 and VS2002

Good night staff,
I have a problem with Crystal Enterprise 9
I'm using a server for the Reporting of Crystal and a client machine to receive the reports generated.
Server: Windows Server 2000
Client: Windows XP 2002 Service Pack 3
The problem is as follows:
- Inside the Debug page that prompts the generation of reports have the following block of code to log into the Crystal APS.
SessionMgr ceSessionmgr = new SessionMgr();
ceSession = ceSessionmgr.Logon(userid, password, aps, auth);
EnterpriseService ceEnterpriseService = ceSession.GetService("InfoStore");;
InfoStore ceInfoStore = new InfoStore(ceEnterpriseService) ;
Report rpt2;
- In line EnterpriseSession ceSession ceSessionmgr.Logon = (userid, password, aps, auth); and a logon between the server and the client but if I enter "QuickWatch" option in variable "ceSession"
right after logging all elements of variable'll go fading as updating the "QuickWatch"
Anyone have any idea what it might be?
thank you

Hi,
According to your description, I am afraid your problem is out of support in C# forum. But I do not know where you should post your thread. Seems you use the Enterprise Framework Library in the link:
http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/businessobjectsxi/en/en/BOE_SDK/boesdk_com_doc/doc/boesdk_com_doc/CrystalEnterpriseFrameworkLibrary2.html
May be you can look for help in there.

Can't upload reports to crystal server

Hello guys,
First is the system info:
Crystal Server XI R2 with SP3
OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 6)
Database: Oracle DB 10g
This issue shall be divided into two parts.
Parts one:
Before the server is reinstalled we can upload some reports. But there is some limitation. When one report is changed, we can't upload it to the server directly. This report should be renamed to a different name then it can be uploaded. If we don't do so it fails with an error message says 'An unexpected error has occurred'. So every time we need to rename reports and then upload them. This workaround is OK for some reports but not all of them. No matter how we reboot the machine or restart the crystal server.
Part two:
One day the machine crashed and we reinstalled the crystal server. But this time it won't accept any report at all. Still it accepts other file such as *.Doc, *.PDF Etc. Every time we try to upload a report and we get an error message says 'An unexpected error has occurred'. If we use CMC to upload a report we get something more detail says 'There was an error while retrieving data from the server: Unknown exception occurred when calling into the plugin'.
BTW, all reports are tested in report designer. They are 100% OK. All services of the crystal server are up and running.
And one more thing, how can I attach file in this forum. I want to give dear you the log files to refer to.
Thanks a lot.

Hi
It would be easier if you would keep this all in the same topic.
As suggested in you other thread ([Can't upload reports to crystal |Can't upload reports to crystal server]), this is very likely to be a permission problem.
