Hi
This error message appears when there are a large number of reports scheduled to run at the same time, but there is a short end time for the instance. As a result, BusinessObjects Enterprise may not be able to run all the report before the end time passes.
To resolve this error message, increase the end time on the scheduled instance. To increase the end time, use the following steps:
1. In the Infoview, browse to the desired report and click 'History'.
2. Find the desired scheduled instance and click 'Reschedule'.
3. Under the 'When' section, increase the end time for the scheduled instance.
Upon completing these steps, the error message no longer appears.
Hope this helps!!

Migrating reports from MS SQL reporting services to BO(Crystal reports)

Hi Folks,
I am looking to migrate my existing reporting application to BOXI and crystal reportsXI. The current reports application is build on Microsoft SQL reporting services platform. I have thousands of reports in the application and am looking for a solution to migrate all these existing reports into BO compatible format, i.e., .rpt format.
Anyone with previous experience of this kind of migration/conversion for suggestions on the quickest and most cost effective solution.
I do not want to be developing all the reports again on BO.
Appreciate any kind of assistance on this.
Thanks,
Shetty.

Hi Tim,
Thanks for the reply.
I searched the forum and found the link to [url|http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/en/BOE_SDK/boesdk_java_dg_doc/doc/boesdk_java_dg/URLreporting_new.html] which specifies the process to use URL Reporting for Crystal Reports . But to implement this we have to change the architecture of our existing application as presently we are directly accessing the report in URL to run the report. I was not able to found any solution that implements this architecture.
Does Business Object Enterprise 11.5 still supports this architecture?
If we use the architecture specified in the above URL for URL Reporting for Crystal Reports then how we can migrate all our reports to BOE 11.5? We have to use the Publish Wizard for that, to get the ids for our reports?
There was a parameter APSTOKEN how can we get a token. Can it be a static token that can be used by all the users to access the reports?
Thanks!

How migrate crystal reports to oracle bi publisher ?

Hi experts,
i have a experienced with development of crystal reports.
now my work demands migration of crystal reports to oracle bi publisher.
may i know how to converts all crystal reports formula's in oracle bi publisher ?
any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Simple answer, there is NO easy way to convert them.. You will have to get the layout from your crystal report file, then get a copy of data to test query to build data is returned in proper sequence to replicate report.
If you were converting from Oracle Reports to BI Publisher, then you would have it easier..
Just be happy you are not where I was 2 years ago.. I had over *600* crystal version 8 report files and started looking at converting them to BI Publisher...
Thank you,

Do I need to uninstall Crystal Reports Server 2008?

Hello,
We recently installed Crystal Reports Server 2008 and began migrating reports off the CR Enterprise 9 platform and things were going pretty well.
One of our other locations began moving over their reports that are ran against an Oracle database and cannot get passed a connectivity issue. We found the following:
Oracle connectivity issues
If you are installing Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1 on a 64-bit Windows
platform, Oracle database connectivity issues may occur. If Crystal Reports
Server 2008 V1 is installed to a location that contains brackets in the folder
path, for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\, it will be unable to connect
to an Oracle database. Certain Oracle database clients such as version
10.2.0.2 or 10.1.0.2, may not function properly with any application that
has brackets in its folder path. When installing Crystal Reports Server 2008
V1, select an installation path that does not contain brackets, such as
C:\Program Files x86\ or contact Oracle support for an updated database
client.
We of course have everything installed in the default (x86) folder. My question is, is there a way to move the installation, or do I need to uninstall/re-install? If I need to re-install, is there a way to back-up and reload all of my existing jobs?

Hello,
CR must have the Oracle client installed. Unless you use a Wired Driver, which has the client engine built in, CR requires a client to be installed. It never has worked without the client installed.
Also, I've found that if you have more than one Oracle client installed it causes problems. Make sure the first one in the PATH statement points to the latest version of the client.
And yes you are correct, ODBC is a layer on top of the native client so it will be slower obviously because it has to go through one more layer of dll's to get to the server.
Thanks again

Loading Crystal Report 2010 Error

When I try to install C# application that I created at the client's workstation, i am getting an error about not getting my report loaded. The application loads the report working in my development workstation, but when i installed in the other workstation, then it will not load the report. I have installed Visual Studio 2010 with CR 2010. I had created the reports with Crystal Report 2008, and want to migrate to VS2010.
Here's what I get from the client's workstation:
Method 'get_ReportRequestStatus' in type 'CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportClientDocumentWrapper' from assembly 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, Version=14.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' does not have an implementation.
I have all my CR *.dll referrenced to the latest one, but I am not sure if I am using the right *.dll.
Thanks for any input on this. It'll be greatly appreciate it.

Correct, you are using the beta version of the runtime.
Search here on how to remove version 14 and use the RTM release version 13.
Thank you

Looking for the best web-based replacement tool for Crystal report

Hello everyone,
A few days ago, I installed JDeveloper and went through the tutorials posted on oracle.com and have not known all the feature yet.
In our office we provide end-users with crystal reports against our oracle database, and this fulfills their needs fairly enough but, recently, we received a request from some of remote users to use those crystal reports. So I just wanted to know whether ADF can replace a crystal report if I try to migrate them? A crystal report has rich functions. For example, I use DistinctCount(Param1, Param2) to display the number of distinct param 1s in each param 2.
Any kind of suggestion would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Migrating from Crystal Reports Charts using TopN and "Other" to Reporting Services

I am currently migrating several Crystal Reports that have charts. The chart series is set to use the TopN values in a count, and combine the rest of the series into one series titled "Other". I see how to filter the chart using TopN, however I need to still show the rest of the data grouped as "Other". I think the solution I need is to create a group expression that uses some sort of IIF function to create the "Other" group, but I haven't found a function that I can use to get the results I need. Any ideas?
Scott

We were looking at report deployment options and evaluating SSRS vs Crystal Report Server. There were several reasons we decided to go with SSRS:
Cascading Parameters
Ability to use multiple data sets in one report
SSRS seemed more user-friendly than CRS
There were a few other considerations I can remember now, but the final reason was price. My company already had the licenses for SQL Server. However, even if that was not a consideration I still would have gone with SSRS.
Hope this info helps.

Crystal report IX migration to BO-XI- Very very urgent

Post Author: Pranav.Sharma
CA Forum: JAVA
Need help in migration from Crystal Report IX to BO-XI.
Currently we are using CR IX and Java SDK to access reports from J2ee application. These reports reside on remote server where we have shared access to that directory.
We are accessing these reports through our j2ee application.Can anyone please elaborate whether we can use same SDK here with slight change in code probably in authentication related to CMS etc and calling mechanism or we have to go for BO java SDK alltogether. Is anything we are missing here?
Can anyone please help as we have to complete migration in 1-2 days.

If this is still an issue please re-post your question To the Business Objects forum or purchase a support case on line and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly.

Migrating Crystal reports to Bi Ondemand reports

Can any one guide me in detail in handling the below requirement
The idea is to convert reports from Crystal report
(using SQL Server as a data source) to SAP BI OnDemand report
(using Salesforce objects as a data source).
There is another project that is taking care of migrating the data from SQL Server to Salesforce
(along with other functionalities).

Hello,
bi.ondemand.com uses Crystal Reports - it does not have its own type of reports.
So if you already have rpt files that use sql server, it should just be a matter of changing the datasource to use salesforce.com using the database expert inside the crytal reports designer.
Changing from sql server to salesforce.com is likely quite a large change though so I am not sure the database expert will be able to help you. You may need to re-write the reports.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Migrating all configuration from Crystal Reports Server XI R2 to Crystal Server 2013

Hi,
We're running an old Crystal Reports Server XI R2 SP version (boe 11.5) and we're planning to start using Crystal Server 2013
As far as I know no upgrade is possible and that's not needed either.
Instead I'm interested in the migrate possibilities. I saw this thread but it doesn't answer all the questions https://scn.sap.com/thread/3462417
So first I will install Crystal Server 2013 on a new server and then I use some migrate tool.
Questions:
- does the migrate tool support migrating from my version CR server XI R2 SP1 to Crystal Server 2013 ?
- does the migrate tool copy all report schduling information (recurring schedule, destination etc)? We have ~1000 scheduled reports so doing manually is not an option
- does the migrate tool copy Business views/Business view connections ?
(- odbc data sources are probably not copied but that's ok)
-Mikael

Hi Mikael,
Since you're already on CR Server XI R2, you can use the Upgrade Management Tool to migrate all the content to CR Server 2013.
Anwers to your questions:
1) Yes, the Upgrade Management Tool does support this kind of migration
2) It does seem that the UMT allows you to move all report instances as well as the scheduled jobs over to the new server
3) I've always had issues with Business Views when using Import Wizard however I'm not sure whether they work well with the new UMT. In any case, I always prefer to export the LOVs and BVs from within the Business View Manager to a .xml file and then import them in the higher version of the Server, again, from within the Business View Manager.

Migrating from 32 bit to 64 bit verison of Crystal Report on Visual Studio C++ App

Hi ,
I am working on a C++ Migration project in which I need to migrate all our code from VS2005 to VS2010.
And also I need to change the architecture of it, previously it was on x86 arch. now I need to port it to x64 Arch.
The problem is that we are using Crystal reports and Crystal report viewer in out project which is of 32 bit.
And to make it workable I havee to use Crystal report of x64 bit.
TO compile the application correctly Ineed some of .dll and .h files of Crystal reports(It's how we build the C++ solution).
I downloaded bunch of trial versions from the site including following
SAP Crystal Reports 2013 30-Day Evaluation
SAP Crystal Server 2013
Installation package which installs the software into the Visual Studio IDE
SAP Crystal Reports runtime redistribution packages (no IDE integration)
but in any of installation I didn't find the lib or inc folder.
Am I missing any thing here?
Regards,
Sagar K.

Good questions:
1. What is the equivalent of Report Designer COM (CRAXDRT) in Java that I can leverage to create reports?
I am not sure what you are specifically referring to when you say "Report Designer COM". The RDC had what was called the "Embeddable Designer" that you could run in a VB app and the users could design reports on the fly. There is nothing equivalent to that in any CR SDK anymore. There are "Report Creation APIs" available in RAS, but no runtime designer as such.
2. Can I use RAS in Java to trigger ActiveX controls to open/print RPT's using Crystal Reports Viewer?
Well, ActiveX viewer is gone - only activeX component is for client side printing using the .NET amd Java SDKs.
3. Does the Eclipse kit have everything I need here? Will this work with CR2013?
Yes, it has everything you need and even though the CR for Eclipse is CR 2008 equivalent, reports created in CR 2013 will work fine.
Just an FYI, there should be an update for CR for E sometime later this year, but an ETA is not even on the horizon yet.

Migrating Crystal Reports Server XI to a new Server

Post Author: david_okeefe
CA Forum: Deployment
Hi,I am trying to migrate an existing Crystal Reports installation from an old server to a new server. To prevent interruption of service, the new server must be able to be online at the same time as the old server (thus it must have a different name). I installed Crystal Reports Server XI and told it to create its CMS database by copying the existing CMS database. Unfortunately, I received an unspecified error ("failed to received first object from source database"). After that, I opted to create a new, default CMS database. I tried using the import wizard to migrate the reports to the new server. The import wizard managed to bring over all of the folders, users, and groups, but not any of the reports. When I looked at the migration log, it gave me an error stating that it could not find the parent folder. I have no real idea how to address this issue. On a related note, I also do not know how to point crystal at the reports repository on the new server. I tried using the Data Source Migration wizard to copy the reports from the old server to the new server. Unfortunately, it didn't appear to register any of the new reports. Given what I have already tried, I am not sure how to proceed.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks,David

Migrating Crystal reports 8.5 to XI

Hi All,
I have to migrate the Crystal Reports from 8.5 to XI which are being called from ASP and using procedures. Please guide:
1. What will be the steps for migration
2. What changes would be required at ASP level if we migrate the reports from 8.5 to XI
3. What are the basic challenges while migrating from 8.5 to XI
4. Please provide any document if any one have for crystal reports migration
Thanks in advance

Hi Shal,
1. What will be the steps for migration
There is no specific steps to migrate your reports, you will have to open your reports in XI and refresh and save. This will migrate your reports from CR8.5 to XI.
2. What changes would be required at ASP level if we migrate the reports from 8.5 to XI
I am not sure but, you may have to change run time files.
3. What are the basic challenges while migrating from 8.5 to XI
If insert any SQL statements in Show Sql these will not take care in XI, rest all you will not have any issues.
4. Please provide any document if any one have for crystal reports migration
If you are using Crystal Enterprise then you will have to migrate it from one enterprise to other using import wizard. Since you are migrating reports, there isno specific document.
Thanks,
Sastry
