Crystal Report 2008 File Open limit

In Crystal Reports 2008 when selecting File > Open > Enterprise The number of files listed in each directory looks to be limited to around 25 files.
If I have a directory with more then that number of files, I have to move the file to another folder or rename it (using CMC) so it shows up in the first bunch of files if I want to open it.
Is there a way to increase the number of files shown in the Enterprise window?
Thanks

Hello,
Not exactly clear what you want? Save your reports to your D drive would be my first guess.... If you are referring to the \temp folder then change your system Environment Variable from the default to d:\temp and also change the TMP to d:\Tmp.
You could even set your Swap file to d drive also. I suggest you contact your IT department or search Microsoft's site on how to optimize hard drive space when it's limited. PLEASE back up everything first before making changes to your swap file location, if you don't do it right you may not be able to start windows.
Thank you

Crystal Report 2008 - File Locations

I'm running out of space on the OS partition (C drive) and want to change the default location(s) in Crystal Report so when reports are created and run, they use space on the D drive.

Crystal Reports 2008 Crashes when opening File/Page Setup

Post Author: jrm2byu
CA Forum: General
I am running Crystal Reports 2008 full version on Windows Vista. Every time I click on File/Page Setup, or File/Print the program will crash. There are no updates available for 2008. I also have Crystal Reports 8.5 and 10 installed on the same computer. Any ideas what might be causing this crash?

I've got the same issue as well. Does anyone have a solution?
A quick printing workaround was to export to a pdf and then print but now I actually need to modify my page dimensions.

From Crystal report XI R2 files to Crsytal Report 2008 files

Hi All,
Can I convert from Crystal report XI R2 files to Crsytal Report 2008 files?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Manjunath N Jogin

Hi,
Here are a few more facts about up gradation to CR 2008.
1)     Crystal Reports should be the same version of the Enterprise: for instance if reports are created with CR XI R2, the Enterprise version should be BOE XI R2; CR2008 will not be compatible with BOXI R2 Enterprise.
2)     More versions of CR can be installed in the same machines; please note that the versions should be installed following the order from the oldest version to the latest one in order to avoid conflicts. For instance, you may install CR X first, then CR XI, then XI R2 and then CR 2008;
3)     The reports created with CR XI can be opened with CR 2008.
4)     And the reports created with CR 2008 can be opened with CR XI; however if the reports contain any features which are not available with the previous version, these may not be supported; For instance Flash objects which can be used with CR2008 would not be supported by CR XI R2.
5)     The report definition defines the version with witch the report is created. The report definition information is available from u2018Reportu2019 menu/u2019Performance Informationu2019.
Hope this would be helpful.

Crystal Report 2008 doesn't set page size when export to excel file

Hi,
I am using Crystal Report 2008 Developer edition.
At Crystal report design time setting the below page setup:
Page Options -
to A3(297X420 mm)
Orientation --- Landscape
and using the following code in .net (c#)
I am using below format options to export in excel in .net 2005
ReportDocument oReport = new ReportDocument();
oReport.FormatEngine.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape;
oReport.FormatEngine.PrintOptions.PaperSize = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.PaperA3;
if (aParamlist.ReportFormat == ReportFormatEnum.MicrosoftExcel)
ExcelFormatOptions excel = new ExcelFormatOptions();
excel.ExcelUseConstantColumnWidth = false;
// Use detail section one as a guideline to determine column width
excel.ExcelAreaGroupNumber = 1;
//excel.ExcelAreaType = AreaSectionKind.Detail;
excel.ExcelAreaType = AreaSectionKind.Detail;
// Prepare exporting options
ExportOptions export = oReport.ExportOptions;
export.FormatOptions = excel;
export.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.Excel;
oReport.Export();
when export to excel it doesn't set the Paper Size to A3(297X420 mm).
Is there any way to set the paper size while export to excel or in other formats also????
Thanks & Regds,

Hi,
thanks for your email.
This is not happening in development environment.It is setting the paper size anf paper orientation properly.
this is happening in the production environment where only redist installation is done.
thanks

Unable to display Crystal Reports 2008 PDF output on smart phones

Hi Folks,
I'm not sure if this is the proper forum, but here goes. I am just finishing a large ASP.NET web app which makes extensive use of Crystal Reports 2008 and a CrystalReportViewer control. My users routinely e-mail the reports in PDF format. This works great, except now they tell me that when the recipient of the e-mail tries to open the PDF on an iPhone or Blackberry, it will not open. The PDF's open fine on desktop computers.
Here is the code which generates the PDF and attaches it to the e-mail msg.
// export to PDF, then mail that
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
MailAddress from = new MailAddress(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ReportMailFrom"].ToString());
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
message.From = from;
message.SubjectEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
message.Subject = "E-mail BackOffice report: " + strReportName;
MemoryStream memStream = (MemoryStream)rptDoc.ExportToStream(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat);
Attachment data = new Attachment(memStream, MediaTypeNames.Application.Pdf);
ContentDisposition disposition = data.ContentDisposition;
disposition.CreationDate = DateTime.Now;
disposition.ModificationDate = DateTime.Now;
disposition.FileName = strReportName + ".pdf";
disposition.DispositionType = DispositionTypeNames.Attachment;
message.Attachments.Add(data);
client.Send(message);
Any ideas on what is happening here and how to make these PDF's visible to smart phones?
Thanks.
Dan

Hi Dan,
What happens if you export from Crystal Reports designer?
I just tried if and BlackBerry tells me I am about to download a file that cannot be viewed on the phone. It doesn't say why though.
Going through the Platforms file it doesn't mention smart phones so it would indicate we don't support them in that format.
HTML worked but not pretty. You'll have to see what Blackberry does support. I found this one kbase article from them:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB11245&sliceId=SAL_Public&dialogID=206744335&stateId=1%200%20206742756
I'm testing more but I believe this is a blackberry limit and not CR.
Seems they do support it but very limited.
Thank you
Don

Crystal Report 2008 SP3 and BO XI 3.1 conflict

Hi every body,
We have a BOE system:
BO XI 3.1
Oracle db 10g
All running successful and can create some types of WebI report.
But we also want reports with Crystal Report.
1> So we install Crystal Report 2008 SP3 (without knowing the conflict error between BO XI 3.1 and Crystal Report 2008 SP3 and overwrite some .dll file). After installing, we can not create WebI report any more. And a error message box display: "DBDriver failed to load: C:\Program File\Business Objects\BusinessObjects ENterprise12.0\win32_x86\dataAccess\connectionServer\dbd_oci.dll ".
2> We uninstall Crystal Report SP3. But this is not the solution. Still error because of missing .dll files.
3> We open BO XI 3.1 setup and repair BO XI 3.1. Even we uninstall BO XI 3.1, delete all of its components and delete in regedit key. We install BO XI 3.1 again. Now we have full .dll file, not missing them any more. But when we open universe and click on Table browser, cannot fetching any tables.
We set rights for Oracle DB user again. But still error: cannot fetching.
4> We searched the solution for this problem on the internet. But not worked, no answer.
Can somebody help me bring back the BOE system state again ? pls :"<
T______T

Hi Paul,
I hope I read your question right!
Yes, It is possible to run XIR2 and 3.1 on the same server although it's not recommended by BO. You will need to make sure they are both pointing to different CMS databases and different FRS repositories, like you already mentioned you will need to specify different ports for the CMS db and Tomcat.
Why not uninstall Business Objects XI R2 in your BO development environment or a spare server (if you have one), and do a clean install of XI 3.1 SP3.
Tip: If you were already having performance issues with your XI R2 environment, I would seriously consider upgrading the hardware. XI 3.1 needs a bit more RAM and CPU than XI R2

VS2008/VS2005 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer

Hi,
1.) I am using VS2008 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer. Are there any issues I need to consider when developing using both of the above? (or with VS2005)
2.) The confusion for me is in regards to the SDK. From what I understand from articles etc is that using CR 2008 dev we can use the .NET SDK or RAS SDK for development purposes?
3.) So downloaded the sample code for RAS .NET from [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/businessobjects-samples?rid=/webcontent/uuid/80774579-b086-2b10-db91-ed58c4dda375] and tried "DatabaseLogon_CS" example, as the option. It automatically opened in VS2005 (no problem) however it would not run.
I would get an error :
Failed to connect to server "localhost".
Error returned from Windows Sockets API : 0.
and line causing this is >>> rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
Code below:
        string sampleReportPath = @"C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\Samples\en\Reports\Demonstration\World Sales Report.rpt";
        object path = (object)sampleReportPath;
        // Create an instance of the ReportClientDocument.
        ReportClientDocument rcd = new ReportClientDocumentClass();
        // Set the location of the RAS server.
        rcd.ReportAppServer = "localhost";
        // Use the Open() method of the ReportClientDocument to open the report.
        rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
I have been able to open the RPT file by itself. So it does 'see' the database.
Reason why it would not run?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

If you're using the sample code from our website, make sure you have uncommented the InprocRAS option in the ConfigureCrystalReports method (see below). From your error description it seems like you're using the unmanaged RAS option, which requires a RAS server.
private void ConfigureCrystalReports()
        /* The following methods implement the same sample functionality in three different RAS
         * scenarios. Uncomment the method you would like to use.
         * - inprocRAS() logs onto a databse using RAS and SQL authentication.
         * - managedRAS() logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from a managed RAS server.
         * - unmanagedRAS () logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from an unmanaged RAS server.
         * Undocument the call to the method which applies to your appropriate RAS settings.
        DatabaseLogon_inprocRAS();
        //DatabaseLogon_managedRAS();
        //DatabaseLogon_unmanagedRAS();
