Crystal Report 2008 Limitation

Hi,
We are using Crystal Report 2008 SP2(Crystal Report Ver 12.0) for Dot Net 2.0 framework in our production box to generate reports and printing. This is how its working
1) Multiple dot net Windows Services are running in a Windows Server. Each windows sevice are capable of running 5 cuncurrent threads. Each thread can load a Crystal Report Object to generate report and print
2) We are facing a serious delay in report processing. After reading through couple of articles in internet, we came to know that Embedded Crystal Report engine has a limitation of processing two concurrent reports at a time.
3) We like to know, whether these two concurrent processing is for the entire server or a specific windows service process
E.g. - assuming we have five windows service running in our server, in this case, whether our application server is capable of processing 10 Crystal Reports at a time or only 2?
Please advice us. We are waiting for the reply to decide to go ahead with Embedded Version or to buy a Crystal Report Server / Enterprise Edition.
Thanks in advance

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

Problems with consuming SAP BW WSDL in Crystal Reports 2008

Hello,
I am trying to use the WSDL generated from the SAP BW in Crystal Reports 2008 using the XML and Web Services driver, but when I input the WSDL url Crystal does not interpret the url passed in as a WSDL url and the Services, Port and Method drop downs are blank.
If I manually input the values I get the error below from Crystal
"Logon failed.
Details: Web Service Location is invalid
WSDL Exception (at /wsdl:definitions/wsdl:portType/wsp:Policy): faultCode=INVALID_WSDL:Encountered unexpected element
'Policy'."
I know this is a valid WSDL as I have tested it with Xcelsius 2008 and I am able to get data back in Xcelsius. I found SAP note 1485601 that talks about Crystal Reports not being able to reading a WSDL generated by a SAP system.
           https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap/support/notes/1485601
Based on the error message from Crystal above I feel that Crystal is unable to read the WSDL URL, has anyone else encountered this issue, if so is there a possible work around.
We are running Crystal Reports 2008 V1 SP3 FP 3 and the SAP Integration Kit is also on the same service pack and patch level.
Any help or insight into the issue will be very helpful.
Thanks,
Kumar

Ingo,
I am using the "XML and Web Services" connection option in Crystal Reports, and using a HTTP WSDL.Here is a sample of how WSDL url generated by SAP BW.
http://servername:8000/sap/bc/srt/wsdl/bndg_DF6E553E117931F19C6B001560A1B616/wsdl11/allinone/ws_policy/document?sap-client=100
We have a two structure BW query (one for keyfigures and one as characteristic structure ), I know that this will cause the structure for the characteristics to show up as a single field and each element of the structure will result in a row of data, but we need the individual elements on the structure and we were hoping to get around the MDX driver limitation by using the web service connection.
The data in the Crystal Reports 2008 needs to be in a crosstab layout as shown below, but if we use the Crosstab expert the key figures are stacked one under the other and also we cannot get the labels from the KPI structure to show up on the Crystal Reports.
               Characteristic Structure
             Column1            Column2                     Column3
Label 1          KeyFigure 1          KeyFigure 2                    KeyFigure 3
Label 2          KeyFigure 1          KeyFigure 2                KeyFigure 3
Label 3          KeyFigure 1          KeyFigure 2                    KeyFigure 3
This layout is already built in a Web Template and therefore we were planning on using the WSDL to get the layout directly into Crystal report, but I keep running into the WSDL error when I try to consume the WSDL in Crystal.
Thanks,
Kumar

Crystal Reports 2008 connecting to R/3

I have a general question for Crystal Reports 2008 for use with R/3.
Crystal Reports 2008 with SAP/R3 Enterprise 4.7
I installed a trial version of Crystal Reports 2008 and connected it to the R/3 instance using a oracle id which has admin rights so the session can see all of R/3 db including 000 client. It can see all tables within the database.
To deploy Crystal Reporting for an R/3 installation - is it advisable to connect directly to db? how do you maintain proper data element access? Do you create views for a oracle user id, or is there a delivered product or method for allowing user access using some other type of security that limits table access to say finance tables?
John

Check our site for more info but in general CR fully respects all DB security, if the user does not have permissions on the table used in the report the report will fail to run.

Consuming a Web service from Crystal reports 2008 - Error

Hi,
I want to consume a web service from Crystal Reports 2008. I created a New Connection using "XML and Web Services" and given WSDL url as the Web Service location. Crystal Report is able to connect to the WSDL and is displaying the tags correctly. When dragging the output to "Selected Tables' section, I am getting the following error:
"Invalid Argument Provided"
Details: Cannot support ArrayType input parameters.
Kindly help. Apparently this was a limitation in CR XI but does it still exist in CR 2008? Is there any patch available to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Jaya

How to use CRAXDDRT.DLL in crystal report 2008?

Hello All,
We have purchased Crystal report 2008 Full software.
We need to insert BLOB field into Crystal report 2008 at runtime using *CRAXDDRT.DLL*.
How can I insert OLE object and bind it at Runtime using crystal report 2008?
Is it possible to insert Ole Object runtime using crystal report 2008? If yes how and if not is there alternative to perform this job.
Please let me know your feedback.
Thanks

CrxDDrt.dll is only provided in order for the Crystal Reports designer in the .NET IDE.
1) You are not licensed to use this CraxDDrt.dll
2) Even if you were, in previous versions of CR, there were licensing implications to using the craxDDrt.dll (read $$)
3) Once your project would be done, using CR 2008, you would not be able to distribute the runtime as there is no CR MSM or MSI that contains the craxDDrt.dll and it's supporting runtime.
In your original post you say:
"I need to show Word and Pdf file in to Crystal report 2008 using CRAXDDRT.DLL";
I do not understand why you'd need to do this using the craxddrt.dll? You should be able to insert a BLOB field using the RAS SDK for .NET and CR 2008. Now, one hting you will have to keep in mind. If you insert a multipage .doc or .pdf file into the report, you will only get the first page of that document. I suggest you try this in the CR designer first. Always remember that if you can not do a certain thing in the designer, you will not be able to do it at runtime either. Giving all the limitations above, if you are still interested in doing this using RAS, let me know and I'll set you up with some resources to get you going.

Crystal Reports 2008 fails when called from e Web Service under 64bit OS

I have discovered that Crystal Reports 2008 doesn't work when called from a Web Service running under 64bit Windows platforms (in my case Windows 2003 Server and Windows XP 64bit); practically no object is instantiated. I've tried several solutions without success.
Before creating a wrapper component to use under COM+, is there anybody who has a better and cheaper solution than creating another component to wrap CR 2008 ?

Hi Sergio,
Before I mark this post as assumed answered I would just like to say and re-iterate that at this time there is no one answer and we fully understand your concerns. As you know in CR 6.0 it came in 16 and 32 bit versions because at the time 32 bit was relatively new but 16 bit was the norm. This is also true for 32 to 64 bit, 32 is the norm and 64 bit is relatively new. We know and are well aware 64 bit is the future and we are working as quickly as we can to move in that direction. Because of the complexity of the Product it's not simply a matter of re-compiling all of our dll's in 64 bit format. The core of our data connectivity with our database drivers which are dependant on third party clients must also need to support 64 bit modes. This as well as Printer drivers also need to be 64 compatable, there are a multitude of dependencies that we rely on that must add 64 bit support. As a programmer you are well aware of the issues around Thunking back and forth between 32 to 64 bits, it can cause delays and potentially loss of data which is a whole other issue. Not to mention also that we would have to ship both versions potentially doubling the size of the distribution packages or doubling the size of the dll's to have the ability to work in both modes. Relatively speaking of course, it would not be double the size but the variables would need to be able to allocate 32 or 64 memory blocks.
The other option is to produce 2 separate versions, this alone is a massive project. Any issue would need to be fixed in separate code streams.
So I'm sure you can see it's not simply a matter of saying yes we support 64 bit. It's a massive project that is going to take time to do and we have to wait for the third party drivers to commit also.
Visual Studio .NET 2005 and 2008 is the only option if you want true 64 bit but you will be limited on what DB's you can support and export formats you can export to. They are the only drivers we did convert to 64 bit.
Thank you for your understanding

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

Deploying Crystal Reports 2008

Hi,
I have both Visual Studio 2008 and Crystal Reports 2008 installed on my development PC.   I'm having issues deploying my applications since I installed Crystal Reports 2008.
Installing on x86 PCs, customers are having to install both:
    CRRedist2008_x86.msi
    CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.msi
on 64-bit PCs, no matter what I try I can not get the reports to generate without an error of missing files or incorrect versions.
I've tried CRRedist2008_x64.msi, (and practically every other possible download of service packs, install MSI files, etc, etc.)
I also can't seem to get any version of merge modules working. I get all kinds of errors like:
"...Error merging 'CRRuntime_12_2.msm': Unable to merge data from the merge module because it conflicts with existing data in the package. MergeModule: table='Directory' row='DesktopFolder' Database: table='Directory' row='DesktopFolder'     C:\Projects\iEnergy\Setup\Setup.vdproj     Setup ..."
It seems having both Crystal Reports 2008 (version 12.x), and Visual Studio 2008 (version 10.x) has really messed things up. There must be a simple way to deploy this on x86 and 64-bit PCs.
Telling customers to install multiple exe/msi files doesn't fly either.
If someone could help clear all this up, I would be really grateful.
Thanks,
Glen.

Hi Glen,
Use the same Patch version of the redist packages as what you have installed on your DEV PC.
You should search here first also, lots of help on distributing which should answer all of your questions also.
First - CRRedist2008_x86.msi is for CR Basic for VS 2008. Not required.
Second - CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.msi is the original release of CR 2008 runtime.
Then your error indicates you are trying to install Service Pack 2.
Check your project, all of the References should be Version 12.x.x.x. The second x indicates the service pack level so this must match with your DEV PC is also using.
Second major change is in your Projects Properties change the CPU to x86 Only. CR 2008 does not have any 64 bit runtime, only 10.2 and 10.5 for VS but it's limited in what it can do in it's API list.
Again search for 64 bit in this forum and you'll find lots of links on how to....
Do not use the MSM's, if you do you also must also include the Windows C++ distribution packages.
Bottom line is search here and you'll find all of your answers.
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

Error while dynamically setting logo image in Crystal Report 2008

Hi,
We have embedded Crystal Report 2008 JRC in our web application which is an Enterprise Archive (EAR) deployed on WebSphere Application Server.
The RPT files bundulled in the archive displays a logo which is dynamicalli picked up by the RPT files from a configured location. Due to this the Report generation crashes when travesed to the sub reports/ groups within RPT. We have observed that this problem never occures if the logo is hard coded within the RPT files.
The report crashing causes another big problem, it crashes the Applciation Server too. This is major concern to us and we need a resolution to this problem.
Thanks in advance

Not able to get the tables in crystal report 2008

Hi,
I am using crystal report 2008 and trying to connect MS SQL using OLE DB (ADO) connection. After giving all DB credentials data base tables are not appearing in the connection. how to get the tables for selection in crystal report 2008.
Regards,
Sree

In the CR Designer, select the connection and press the right mouse button. Select Options in the context menu and check if there is an entry in the Table name fiel. Maybe you have a placeholder there that does not match the names of the tables in the database. Just remove it, close the window by pressing OK and refresh the connection browser (press F5). Unfold the connection again and check if you can see the tables now.
Regards,
Stratos

Exporting Options in Crystal Reports 2008

I am using Crystal Reports 2008 to make my report for my users.   I am also programming a viewer in vb 2005 so the users can view the report without changing it. In the viewer I need to be able to export to excel or pdf or any other format. I want the user to be able to specify where and how to export the report. However when they press on the export button it is giving a save as dialog box, which, while it gives options to save as excel or pdf, it does not give the options such as to application, or to file, which are there in the full crystal report product.
My form gets the report name, sets up the data source and then displays it in a
CrystalReportViewer object.
CrystalViewer.ReportSource = MyReportDocument
        CrystalViewer.DisplayToolbar = True
        CrystalViewer.ShowRefreshButton = False
        CrystalViewer.DisplayStatusBar = True
        CrystalViewer.EnableDrillDown = True
        CrystalViewer.EnableRefresh = False
        CrystalViewer.EnableToolTips = True
        CrystalViewer.ShowExportButton = True
The export button is there, it just does not give all of the options that I would have expected. I see there are ways to programatically use the options, however the export dialog box that appears in crystal reports 2008 would be useful to the user here. Is there a way to make that box show up. Perhaps it should be and I am doing something wrong. I am very new to .net and crystal 2008, we used to use crystal 8.0 with vb6 for a viewer. In that version the export dialog box showed up correctly. Thank you for your help. Also, if i am posting this in the wrong forum area please let me know so i can post it where it should be.

You are doing things the correct way, unfortunately the export dialog is very basic. If you want this extra functionality, you will have to code it yourself.

Two problmes between Crystal Reports 2008 and Bex Query

Hi Gurus.
I have two problems with Crystal Reports 2008 when It obtains data from a Bex Query (SAP MDX query connection).
1)     I have defined some Parameters Fields using the follow options:
Type: String
List of Values: Dynamic
Value Options Level1:
                     Show on (Viewer) Panel :Editable
                      Prompt text: <text>
                      Sort Order: Ascending by value
                      Prompt With description Only : False
                      Optional Prompt: True
                      Allow multiple values: True
                      Allow discrete values: True
                      Allow range values: False
When I execute the report with the client of Crystal Reports 2008 (the developer tool), in the initial screen shows a list box where I can select the values from the left box and add it to the left box (as a usually filter). When the number of options (LOV) is more than the maximum of the system, I have a input box bellow the list box, where I can insert any value (manually) and a button to insert it into the left box. When I publish the Report in the infoview, this filter is modified and the input box where I can introduce manually values is not showed and I can insert only the values showed in the list box, it causes that I can`t select a lot of values that is in the master data of SAP BW, because they arenu2019t listed in the list box.
There is any option to ability this option in the infoview.
2)     My Bex query, have a date filter with variable in the restricted key figures, when I execute a Crystal Reports, the infoview (and the Crystal Reports 2008 designer) ask me 2 times the same date, first only the date and second the date and the rest of parameters (introduced in the report of Crystal Reports).
Why I need insert the date 2 times? How can I modify the Crystal Report for ask me only one time all the parameters?.
Thanks.

Hi Abhilash.
Thank you for your information.
1) Yes, the parameters are created in the Crystal Reports designer. I have created the parameters in the Crystal Report because I use the same Bex Query to create some Crystal Report, in other case, I will need create some Bex Query.
2)The Bex query has the date filters and I have created some filters in Crystal Reports designer, the date filter from the Bex query is created automatically in the Crystal Report Designer but I don't use it, I haven't created it anytime. I use my filters only in the record selection. The date filters from the Bex query is showed as Static, and I can`t delete it, if I modify the parameter to dynamic or static with values, at first step ask me again static without values and the second step of the report execution ask me the parameter as I have defined in Crystal Reports Designer, my parameters fields are dynamic. A lot of reports have subreport, but I have created one of them without subreport (to trial) and the Crystal Reports ask me the date filters at first execution, and when I insert the date filters, in the second step, ask me the date filters again and my parameters fields again.
Thank you again.

Crystal Reports 2008 Repository Explorer

Hi,
I am new to Crystal Reports 2008. I want to use Crystal Reports 2008 Repository. My question is as it was done in Crystal Report 9 Professional edition that a crystal report developer can create a Repository while using Crystal Report 9 Professional edition without Crystal report Server, Is this also possible with Crystal Report 2008. If we only have Crystal Report 2008 designer or developer edition, can we create Repository's i.e. Text Objects, Images, Custom Functions, SQL Commands etc without having Crystal Report 2008 Server, if yes please let me know the method.
Thanks in advance
Thanks

Hi,
I was on web found this link
http://www.crystalkeen.com/articles/crystalreports/repository.htm
which says that:
Crystal Reports: Repository
A solid understanding of the repository can really improve the the efficiency, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness of your reports. Hammerman and Associates offers classes on this very subject. We aren't going to cover all of it here, but will provide some highlights.
Use the CR9 Repository for those commonly used objects
The Crystal Reports 9.0 repository is a great place to store some commonly used items in your report. This includes text strings, images, SQL Commands (see next item) and Custom Formulas.
The Repository is initially stored in an Access database and has an ODBC connection with the System DSN of u201CCrystal Repository.u201D But you can use any ODBC data source including a database in your network so you can all share the same common objects.
Create a new database for the repository. We recommend you copy the existing MS-Access database, but you can start with an empty database. (The initial repository is Repository_en.mdb, stored in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.0\bin).
Create an ODBC connection to the new database. The new database does not have to be an Access database. If you use your SQL Server or Oracle server then, by using server security you can control who can view and who can edit items in the repository.
You next need to set Crystal Reports 9.0 to use this new Database connection. This control information is stored in an INI file and can be edited with any text editor such as NotePad. The INI file is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.0\bin\orMap.ini .
There is a line in this file that saysu2026 Crystal Repository=Crystal Repository .
Edit this to say Crystal Repository=New ODBC DSN.
Is this also possible with Crystal Report 2008 designer/developer edition.
Thanks
Vipin
