Crystal report 9 Sql Server 2008 R2 compatability

Can we use Crystal report version 9 in Sql server 2008 R2 to generate reports in web server.
Kindly tell us about the compatability of these two. If there is any support issue between these two kindly mention the same.

Upgrade to CR 2008 SP 4 is your only option.
The Platforms file was on the CR CD or it may be in the Documents folder on install. I don't have it installed any more so I can't say exactly where it is. Search your PC for platforms.
The problem is SQL 2008 uses a new Client engine and MS renamed the DLL do CR isn't aware of it. Using the MDAC version of SQL Server OLE DB Provider may work but it won't be supported if you find errors.
If you do upgrade to CR 2008 then install the MS SQL Server 2008 Client Tools from the CD or download the MSI from Microsoft and then use the MS SQL Server Native 10 client and it should all work for you.
Thank you

Crystal Report Embedded server 2008

Hi SAP,
I have reports created in Crystal reports 2008 sp1 designer. Reports are created using stored procedures.Reports are called through .net application and placed at Crystal Report Embedded server 2008.If Reports are at local machine they work fine.If reports are at Crystal Report Embedded server 2008 it prompts for parameter and database credentials.
Here is my code
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument rd= new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReprots.Engine.ReportDocument();
String rptfilepath="ras://C:\Reports\EmbededRpt.rpt";
Rd.ReportAppServer="RasServer";
Rd.FileName= rptfilepath;
Rcd=rd.ReportClentDocument;
System.Data.Dataset ds = this.GetData();
Rd.SetDataSource(CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataSetConversion.DataSetConverter.Convert(ds));
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource=rcd.ReportSource;
Any response will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
I believe Crystal Report Embedded server 2008 does not come with .NET SDKs. You need to wait for its SP1 release that should make make .NET sdks available for the application.
Thanks.

Crystal Reports & Windows Server 2008

Hi everybody,
I installed Crystal Reports 10 under Windows Server 2008 R2 (x86-64). I need this u201Coldu201D version because I still have some .NET application developed with Framework 1.1.
Unfortunately, I receive the following error: u201CSystem.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.u201D
I created a virtual directory (which point to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.5\crystalreportviewers10) and enabled 32-Bit Applications in the Application Pool under IIS 7.
Please notice that with the same configuration, everything works fine under Windows Server 2003.
I eventually tried to install Crystal Reports 2008, but nothing changed.
Did I miss something?
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your support,
Best regards

Hi Don,
sorry for my late reply.
Unfortunately I don't use Visual Studio. I developed my .NET applications with Borland Developer Studio 2006, which support Framework 1.1 only.
I tried to install the SP3 of Crystal Reports 2008, but no luck.
I have licensed copies both of Crystal Reports 10 and 2008.
Thank you
P.S. if I use the new version (CR 2008 SP3) of:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll
CrystalDecisions.ReportSource.dll
CrystalDecisions.Shared
CrystalDecisions.Web
I get the following error:
"The base class includes the field 'crystalReportViewer1', but its type (CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalReportViewer) is not compatible with the type of control (CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalReportViewer)."

How to Deploy SSRS Reports(Sql Server 2008 R2) into Oracle Weblogic Application Server

Hi Friends
One of my project requirement is Developing reports by using SSRS and deploying the reports into Oracle Wblogic Server
Could you please give me a Steps where we need to configure.
Regards
Hasthi.

Hi Hasthi,
As per my understanding, I think we couldn’t directly deploy the SSRS report to Oracle Weblogic Application Server. We can deploy report to report server and SharePoint library. And we can display report to some applications, for example, windows application
and web application. Sorry for that I am not familiar with Oracle. So if your Oracle Weblogic Application Server support those Visual Studio application, then we can use report viewer control to display report in application. For more detail information about
report viewer control, please refer to the following document:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms251671.aspx
Hope this helps.

Crystal Report 13 Visual Studio 2010 SQL Server 2008 R2 ODBC Problem

Hi Everybody,
I am new in Crystal Report.
I developed a web application in Visual Studio 2010, and my Database is SQL Server 2008 R2.
I created reports using Crystal Report 13 in Visual Studio and my Operating System is Windows 7 32-Bit.
I used ODBC Connection System DNS for my application.
It is running fine even after Hosting on my local PC.
But it creates problem when hosted on my Team Leader PC and Test Server.
Their Configurations are same but only difference is "SQL Server 2008" Not R2
The Error I am getting is "Failed to open the connection".
When I Host the same on my another team member PC, I am getting the error like
"Failed to open the connection. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 4060 ] Database Connector Error: ' [Database Vendor Code: 4060 ]' Failed to open the connection. Failed to open the connection. TestVr {CE268132-D2BD-43EC-BE45-0BCD847FBCDA}.rpt Details: [Database Vendor Code: 4060 ]"
I tried various solution to fix this bug.
But i am unable to do this and not getting any idea to fix this issue.
If anyone can guide I will be thankful to him.
All suggestions are appreciable.
Thank you

Hi,
Please use the top right search box. for ex below search which will return many useful kb's, articlea and forum threads where simillar issues are discussed.
[http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?query=failedtoopentheconnection|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?query=failedtoopentheconnection]
Most probably the issue is missing database client driver / provider.
Install the driver used to connect the rpt to the db on the server and then create a 32 bit DSN with the same name as the dev machine..
Hope this helps,

Which version of crystal reports can link to Windev 14 and SQL server 2008 applications

I am developing an application with windev 14 and sql server 2008, i would like to know which version of crystal report can i use?

Hi GS,
Move to .NET SDK forum.
I don't know how CR for Visual Studio will integrate into WinDev but to get the installer for VS 2010/2012/2013 go to this page:
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
It's the runtime for CR 2011 or 2013 now.
As for SQL 2008 you need to install the Client tools and when creating reports use the SQLNCLI10.dll as the client DB driver for ODBC or OLE DB.

Crystal Reports XI connection problems - after updating to SQL Server 2008

Hello!
We have some ASP.NET 2.0 Applications that call some CR XI report files with parameters to generate PDF Files. After upgrading from SQL Server 2005 to 2008 the apps hang when trying to generate the PDFs. Some research with Fiddler showed that ever time a 401 Error is raised. Calling the reports directly from CR Designer with the same connection values and Parameter shows the appropriate data that means the log-in data iare functioning.
I already tried switching the data source driver from OLE DB to SQL Native - no effect!
Can it be that CR XI does not work with SQL Server 2008? Or is there an update for CR XI and SQL Server 2008?
Because we are in a hurry I hope somebody can solve my problem(s) ...?!
Thanks in advance,
Frank

Hi Frank,
No CR XI is not supported nor is any version completely at this time. What we've found issues in so far are the Time(7) time is returned as a string value and Stored Procedure Data/time parameter SQL creation. The Time(7) field is an OLE DB driver issue with Microsoft but the Date/time SP issue is our issue and it's currently tracked and escalated. It will be fixed for CR 2008 with SP3 I believe. And I've asked that the same fix be rolled back to CR XI R2 but waiting on the reply from R&D if it can be done.
What you need to do is download the trial version of CR XI R2 ( Release 2 ) and then use your XI Keycode to install it and it will work. Then update to the latest SP 5 Service Pack. XI is past it's end of life support which means there will be no updates or bug fixes any more.
Next, MS SQL Server 2008 does not work with the MDAC version of the Native drivers, you must install the MS SQL Server Client. You'll see the driver name is "MS SQL Server Native client 10". This is the one you need to use.
Another work around is to use ODBC, it seems to resolve all issues, but the client must be installed.
Thank you
Don

ODBC Error connecting to a stored procedure SQL Server 2008 - Crystal 8.5

I am running a local copy of SQL server 2008 and get an ODBC error when connecting to any stored procedure with or without parameter. The database are running in SQL Server 2000 compatibility mode on the local server.
Do not get the error when connecting to one or more databse tables or when connecting to a stored procedure on a remote database.
The error reported is "ODBC error:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server driver] Syntax error or access violation"
I am running Vista OS.
Any help would be appreciated..

Hello,
Interesting combination. All but CR 8.5 is supported on that OS.
When you created your DSN did you using the 2008 Client or MDAC?
I suggest you go back to supported platforms for CR 8.5
If not then start debugging Vista permissions to start with...
good luck

Compatability: CR 2008, VS 2005 and SQL Server 2008 on WINDOWS 7

Crystal Reports 2008, Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2008 all play nice together on a VISTA or XP box. But we cannot get a connection when we switch the OS to WIN 7. I tried to get a connection via the report designer. Is this combination of technologies currently supported?
Thanks.

Hi, Jeff;
See the [Platforms|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/00225757-ab5c-2c10-c1a8-fb9f9f0f4ac2] document for CR 2008. You need Service Pack 2 to run on Windows 7.
If you already have SP 2, then what happens when you try to make a connection?

Difference between database features - SQL Server 2008 R2 navtive vs SQL Server 2012 with SQL Server 2008 compatibility set?

I am investigating the impact of upgrading from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012. To reduce the impact of the upgrade, I am planning to restore / create our application database onto SQL Server 2012 with compatibility level 100 (SQL Server 2008 and
SQL Server 2008 R2).
Are there any differences in feature support for database running in native mode on SQL Server 2008 R2 vs a database installed on SQL Server 2012 with compatibility level 100 set?

Are there any differences in feature support for database running in native mode on SQL Server 2008 R2 vs a database installed on SQL Server 2012 with compatibility level 100 set?
Yes there can be difference and impact there are few features deprecated in SQL Server 2012 you must be aware about that. Please see
Deprecated Database Features in SQL Server 2012
Deprecated SQL Server features in SQL Server 2012
After you migrate database to 2012 please don't move ahead with production unless you have tested your application to new created database

Reporting with Report Builder 3.0 and SQL Server 2008 R2

Hi everyone
I'm trying really hard to find books about Report Builder 3.0 or SQL Server 2008 R2
I found the following books on the "learn" site, sadly they do not cover Report Builder 3.0 or SQL Server 2008 R2 since there all too old.
Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Analysis Services Step by Step
Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 MDX Step by Step
Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Reporting Services Step by Step
What are good books (like the ones above) for the newest system?

Hello wishmasterIN,
Thank you to post your question on TechNet forum.
Based on my experience, the books are always delayed to the new technology, since the author need time to summarize and analyze the new features in the new product or technology, write it down and publish it. If you want to have a quick learning about the
new technology, MSDN library is a good place. It can be a cookbook for you. It contains some detail steps for tools, such as Report Builder or BIDS. It also contains many new features introduction. It is always very useful for you to understand the new features.
In addition, it is based on web and many links make you can jump to the other technical point freely. The most important is all of these is free and all the information will be updated if the new feature is released.
In short, if you want to learn the latest technology about Microsoft product, MSDN is a good choice. I hope my introduction is helpful to you.

Will Report Builder 2012 Work with SQL Server 2008???

Simple question really
Will Report Builder 2012 work in conjunction with SQL Server 2008???
Is it worth while upgrading?
The main reason i ask is the ability to export in an xlsx format
Thanks

Hi Gmach,
The version of Report Builder on SQL Server Reporting Service (SSRS) 2012 is Report Builder 3.0. The Report Builder 3.0 manufactures 2010 RDL reports, so it only works with the version of SQL Server 2008 R2 or later. So in your scenario, we can no connect
to SQL Server 2008 Server using Report Builder that on SSRS 2012.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Windows 8 and IE 10 crashed after printing from Report Manager SQL server 2008 / 2008 R2

We have a problem with Windows 8 in combination with IE 10 and printing reports.
When we print a report from the Report Manager 'http://<servername>/reports' the browser crashed after a print.
Sometimes before printing and somthimes after printing or when you close the browser.
Al other operating systems like XP, Vista, Windows 7 with different IE versions have no problem.
I tried the report manager from SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2.
The same error occured when printing from our Internet application and the reportviewer.
(ASP application written in Visual Studio 2010 and reportviewer version 10.)
The event log shows two different messages.

Is there a fix for this problem?

Dear Mike Yin,
Thank you for your response. Your answer was the
reason for finding the real problem.
In december 2010 a SQL Server 2008 fix was the cause. I don't remember exactly the problem, but we changed the RSCLIENTPrint-x86.cab file. But instead to use the version of SQL Server 2008 we used the version of SQL Server 2008
R2 (10.50.1600.1). This worked until
Windows 8 (Internet Explorer crashed when printing).
We fixed this problem by using the RSClientPrint-x86.cab file from SQL server 2008 (10.0.5500.0).
But we now get the known problem that the
activeX always must be installed again.
The reason for this is that the version of
the SQL Server (10.0.5512.0)
and the rsclientprint.dll (10.0.5500.0) is different. SQL Server is newer (caused
by a security patch (KB2716436)).
Do you know when this problem will be resolved
by Microsoft?
Work arrounds
I've also tried to install the RSClientprint.dll
every time automatically (without user interaction).
But this will be delayed the printing for more
than 4 seconds. This
is very annoying.
Another workaround is to generate a PDF and print the PDF. But this is also
a lot slower.
Uninstall the security patch. but I don't know the security risk.

Will the reports developed in sql server 2008 r2 BIDS work when deployed on sql server 2012 reporting manager

Will the reports developed in sql server 2008 r2 BIDS work when deployed on sql server 2012 reporting manager?
when I check on Microsoft site it says
Reports are not upgraded when you upload a report definition file directly to the report server
or SharePoint site. Upgrading a report definition in SQL Server Data Tools is the only way to upgrade the .rdl file.
When you open an .rdl file in Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), if the report was
created for a previous namespace, Report Designer automatically creates a backup file and upgrades the report to the current namespace.
This is the only way you can upgrade a report definition file.
Now here is another confusing statement which says
You can upload an .rdl file created in an earlier version of Reporting Services to a SQL Server
2012 report server and it is automatically upgraded on first use. The report server stores the report definition file in the original format. The report is automatically upgraded the first time it is viewed, but the stored report definition file remains
unchanged.
All I want to know is if I deploy a rdl made in 2008 r2 to 2012 will it work on the report manager of
2012?
<o:p>
</o:p>
Mudassar

I have tested this fucntionality and can confirm that ssrs 2008 r2 reports work when you deploy them on new ssrs 2012 report manager .
No Migration is required .
I didnt even moved report server dbs .All I did is just deployed reports on the report manager and it worked .
"You
can upload an .rdl file created in an earlier version of Reporting Services to a SQL Server 2012 report server and it is automatically upgraded on first use. "
Microsoft needs to correct this the documentation is misleading
