Crystal Report, BW and BO

I know in order for BO scheduler to run a report the report my be saved on BO server.
I would like to know if you can create a report using BW query then save the report on BO to have the scheduler run the query?
Thanks,

We should hopefully be able to provide more on this soon as we have been acquired by SAP. You could also try SDN.

Crystal Reports 9 and SQL Server 2005 default parameter values

We're using Crystal Reports 9 and upgraded from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005.
I'm noticing a very weird problem which I wonder if anyone else has experienced (and hopefully found a resolution for). It appears that in using Crystal with SQL Server 2005 stored procedures, if we have default parameter values in the stored procedures, the default parameter values get completely ignored if you pass in a NULL value from Crystal!
For example, if you have a stored procedure that begins like this:
ALTER Procedure [dbo].[StoredProcedure]
@Param1 VarChar(200) = '',
@Param2 VarChar(200) = ''
AS ...
both @Param1 and @Param2 have a default value of an empty string, and therefore should become empty strings if nothing (NULL values) gets passed in for them.
But, like I said, what I'm finding is that with Crystal calling the stored procedure with NULL @Param1 and @Param2 values, they never become empty strings, but rather remain as NULLs.
This was never a problem with SQL 2000.
Very perplexing. Anyone else every experience this?
Thank you.

Please ignore my earlier post -- answered my own question.
NULL parameter values do not get replaced by default values in SQL -- that is normal behavior in both SQL 2000 and SQL 2005. Just goes to show, that no many how many years programming experience you have, you can still get tripped up sometimes : (

Crystal Reports export and print fails with SSL / https but works with http

Windows 2008 Server, 32-bit (IIS7)
ASP.NET 2.0
Ajax 1.0
Crystal Reports version 10.5.3700.0
http: printing works, export works
https: printing not working, only export to MS Excel and MS Word work.
I am able to generate reports using both http and https, and the toolbar icons are all showing. However, I am unable to print or export properly with SSL.
Printing prompts me with a select printer window, and then a window 'Retrieving Page 1' follow by two messages from Crystal Print Control both stating:
A communication error occured. Printing will be stopped.
Exporting generates various errors depending on which export method is being selected (however Excel and Word work over https).
I've found the same problem on this site and other forums, but never a resolution to get exporting and printing to work with SSL. Will someone please provide me assistance or possibly relay what settings they're using if they have Crystal Reports export or printing working over SSL in IIS7? Everything works fine when I change the address from https to http.
Please let me know if I can help by providing further information. We've gone through a great deal of possible solutions with code and I'm currently looking in to IIS settings again.
Thank you.

Thanks Ludek. I got it by searching KB number.
Unfortunately, it didn’t fix my problem even my IE (IE8 and IE 9) has correct setting. I double check my version. PrintControl.CAB is version 10.2.0.1146. we use VS 2005 Crystal report and VB .NET. It works fine on HTTP. But when we use HTTPS (SSL Certificate from go daddy).
1: Crystal report export
            Export to MS Excel, Word: pop us “File download”, then click “Save”. It says “Internet Explorer cannot download ReportView.aspx from my site. Internet Explorer was not able to open this internet site. the requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try it again later”
            Export to RPt, Rich text format: It says “Internet Explorer cannot download ReportView.aspx from my site. Internet Explorer was not able to open this internet site. the requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try it again later”
            Export to PDF : nothing happened.
2: Print:
            Pop up dialog to select printer, click “Print” “. Shows windows “Crystal Report Viewer” and pop us error message box. Title is “Crystal Print Control”. Message is “An communication error occurred. Printing will be stopped”. Click “OK” and pop up error message box again.
Please advise.
Thank you very much!

Crystal Reports 9 and Dot Net 2 SP2

We have a VB6 application that uses Crystal Reports 9 and makes a call to DB2. When we patched the Windows 2003 server it runs on to Dot Net 2 SP2, the call to DB2 would hang. If we removed the patch, the problem goes away. Microsoft said this is a Crystal issue not a dot net issue so they referred me to this site. Has anyone seen anything like this or have any suggestions as to how to get around this? Our Infrastructure Admins would like to get Dot Net 2 SP2 on ths server so I can't leave it unpatched indefintiely. Thanks

Hi Brian,
Moved your post to the Legacy SDK forum.
Which report engine are you using in your app?
Cr 9 is end of support long time ago so nothing we can do to fix this other than to upgrade to CR for .NET components. Or possibly CR XI R2 and the RDC if that is what you are using.
What error do you get?

Crystal Reports 2008 and Postscript

Hello,
I think I have to start a new thread for this. Originally I described the problem here:
Printing Crystal Report to Postscript
Now we upgraded our Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005 to the latest version - CR 2008 SP0. We had purchased the full version to be able to print the postscript files correctly, without any prompts for the file name, because I've read that this was a bug in the old versions, but it had been fixed. But I still cannot do this.
I'm trying to print my reports to the postscript file:
PrinterSettings ps = new PrinterSettings();
ps.PrinterName = "TRADEPOSTSCRIPT";
ps.PrintFileName = txtPath.Text.Trim() + "
" + txtFormNo.Text.Trim() +
".ps";
ps.PrintToFile = true;
rpt.PrintOptions.CopyFrom(ps, ps.DefaultPageSettings);
rpt.PrintToPrinter(1, true, 0, 0);
I'm still getting prompt for the file name.
This doesn't make any sense - the path and file name are specified in my code. The whole project will be useless for us if the users will be getting prompts.
Could you please help me how to solve this issue?
Thank you,
Peter Afonin

Hi,
I am trying to print and specify a filename to a postscript printer as well. However, my version of crystal reports in Visual Studio 2008 does not come with this method....
reportDocument.PrintToPrinter(printerSettings, pageSettings, True) ?
I have checked and there does not exist an overloaded method in the object browser for this 'PrintToPrinter' method that would accept PrinterSettings object??
The only method I have is as below:
===============================
public virtual void PrintToPrinter(int nCopies, bool collated, int startPageN, int endPageN)
Member of CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
Summary:
Prints the specified pages of the report to the printer selected using the PrintOptions.PrinterName property. If no printer is selected, the default printer specified in the report will be used.
Parameters:
nCopies: Indicates the number of copies to print.
collated: Indicates whether to collate the pages.
startPageN: Indicates the first page to print.
endPageN: Indicates the last page to print.
===============================
My version is Crystal Reports Basic and is what comes with VS 2008 (not upgraded):
From the GAC:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, Version=10.5.3700.0
FileVersion: 10.5.0.1943

Crystal Reports 11 and 8.5

I have a 8.5 Crystal Report Server and need to update reports. We can't find our 8.5 license and needed to know if I can run a Cyrstal report written in version 11 and run on a 8.5 server.

Hi Tom,
No, Crystal Reports 8.5 file format can be read by CR 9 and above but CR 9 and above reports cannot be read by CR 8.5 and below. We updated CR 9 to fully support UNICODE and therefore the file format in CR 9 and above is not backward compatible or readable by CR 8.5.
Only option is to try to find an old copy of CR 8.5 and valid license.
Thank you

Crystal Reports 11 and 8.5 Compatibility

Post Author: mcneillb
CA Forum: Deployment
Can an application running Crystal Reports 11 and a legacy application running Crystal Reports 8.5 co-exist on the same system? The legacy application is a vb6 app and just uses the crystal report viewer. If they canu2019t what needs to be fixed or otherwise changed?
It appears if the legacy app is installed last, then the Crystal Reports 11 application is broken (its report viewer doesnu2019t work).
ThanksBlake

Hello Javier,
There isn't going to be much, if any, DLL files that are compatable with both. When version 9 was made it was redesigned from the ground up to be Unicode compliant. When this was done all DLL files that worked with the old versions would not work with the new versions.

Crystal Reports - Saving and the transport request screen

Good morning BI people,
Has anyone had this annoyance?
You are creating a Crystal report(2008 v12.2.7.598) with connection to sap bi(7.01) and when you save, the transport request screen doesn't come up front of crystal reports, it is created behide the screen. so, you sit and look at the hour glass for 5 mins, move on to other things, and then you realize that the transport screen is behide the crystal reports screen. and, it is not like you can minimize the crystal screen. you have to minimize all your screens and then click on the crystal screen from you tool bar and then, the transport screen comes up.
anyone have a fix for this?
or am i alone....
thx,
Erik

Hi Brad
I'm not sure that Modules would show us anything in this case, so let's try a few other things:
1) Make sure you are using SP 1 for Crystal Reports Basic Runtime for Visual Studio:
Crystal Reports for VS 2005 and VS 2008 Updates & Runtime Downloads
2) Seeing as this works on dev, this may be some db inconsistency so enabling the report option "Verify on 1st Print" will be a good idea.
3) Double check the database client and make sure the same client is used on dev and deployed systems. Actually I take back my Modules negative as this is where it may prove useful. Once you have the Modules logs, look at who is loading the crpe32.dll, then look at that process and see the client dlls.
4) Check the printer driver; see if there are any updates. Try a different printer driver.
Ten subreports is not too bad, though not that good either as you are loading the report engine with at minimum 11 simultaneous reports (each subreport is considered to be a report). If a subreport is in a details section and the details section returns a 100 records, you are running 100 + 1 reports. This may lead to memory issues, which may lead to the error.
If I was a betting man, I'd put most of my money on the printer driver (based on your last addition to your post). What ever money I had left would go to some database issue (be it actual data or client related).

CR was released well before .NET framework 3.5. Mo test would have been done. Only option is to not install 3.5 or upgrade to CR 2008 which supports 3.5 framework. Also will require you to update your app to ASP.NET.

CR XI R2: Crystal Reports freezes and crashes when I try to open a report

I added this question as a Reply to a message by nic2deep a month ago <Crystal Reports freezes every time I try to open a report.>, but got no response so I thought I'd try again on my own.
I have 2 laptops with CR XI installed (same problem from original R2 through SP 5). The old laptop is an IBM Thinkpad R51. The new one is an HP Elitebook 6930p. Both have the exact same software and versions of Win XP and network security.
If I try to open a report that has an "invalid printer" selected, it will open in the old IBM (with the message, 'This report uses an invalid printer. The default printer will be used instead'), but on the new HP, it freezes and I have to do a CtlAltDel to get out.
I've tried everything Don Williams suggested to nic2deep:
1) Open Contol Panel and add/remove programs and select CR. Do a repair install and if possible use the Custom Options and install all DB drivers and Export options, except Lotus Notes, unless you' re using them.
Results: Tried many times with no effect.
2) It may be that your firewall setting or anti-virus software is blocking access to system files or resources. When you do the repair install make sure to disable them and un-plug yourself from the network so you protect your PC while they are off line.
Results: Firewall was always OFF because network security handles all that. Can't turn off anti-VIrus, but both computers have the same antivirus system anyway.
3) Look in the System and Application Event logs in Admin tools; it may give you a clue what your PC is trying to get to and being denied.
Results: The only thing that is logged in Admin Tools when this happens is a "Security/Privilege Request" with no errors.
Clearly, when CR in the HP looks for the printer selected in the report and doesn't find it, that causes CR to freeze.
Any idea what difference between the 2 machines could cause this? Something in the Registry?
This is a royal pain, because I can only be on one computer at a time.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Debi,
Because in CR XI R2 it is WYSIWYG meaning we use both the display and the printer drivers to render the report. Same as what PDF does. If we can't find the printer the report was designed against, and all the placements of each object is dependent on the printer when designed, we have to default to your default printer to be able to calculate internally when to render the report objects and format the layout thus the message from CR indicating so.
Basically CR dynamically builds the page layout dependent on the local system. Also the reason why CR requires a default printer to be installed, if it's not then we use Microsoft's Generic Print driver. It's not that reliable either but we have to use something.
And another "for your info" is the same for our database drivers. Example, if you create a report off of MS SQL Server and then you want to view the SQL CR generates you need to log on first. This way CR can query the DB client and generate the SQL according to the DB. If you just want to see the SQL you could just set location to Access, problem with this is because CR dynamically generates the SQL according to the DB you set lcoation to we may change the SQL Statement and not actually show you what the report uses when connecting to the real database.
One of the side effects of supporting so many DB's and Printers and Video drivers. Sometimes drivers do non-standard functionality which CR did not anticipate or code on how to handle.....
This all changed in CR 2008, we are not as dependent on the printer driver but this created a whole new set of problems if you hadn't noticed from all the Printer problems posted.... But we are going back to the CR XI R2 printer functionality model to resolve all of the issues....
Thanks again

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.
