Crystal Report Config

Hi,
How to configure Crystal report using MySql?
I added mysqlconnector.jar in CRConfig.xml file, Is there any jar to include for mySql?
Pls Help me those who knows...

Hello, Mervin;
Since you are using ADO.NET dataset, is it possible to get all of the fields you need in one SQL Query outside of Crystal Reports?
If that is possible, you can use that dataset to create an XML or XSD file to use as the structure for your report.
VB
'Using the full path to the .xml file, include the schema
dataSet.WriteXml("C:\temp\test.xml", XmlWriteMode.WriteSchema)
or
dataSet.WriteXmlSchema("c:\temp\testXML.xsd")
Now create a new report with the ADO.NET(XML) connection and point to either the XML or XSD you created. XML is useful because you can view data in the report designer for final formatting of the report.
Now there is only one datasource and no linking is required in Crystal Reports. That should resolve the one to many issue.
Another useful tool is to group on the many and place all the fields normally in the detail section into that group header. Suppress the Detail and Group footer sections. The Group Header will now look like a Detail section and each distinct value will only appear once. You can group on one field or a combination (using a formula field) to get the results you need. Test this to be sure you do not miss anything you want to see.

Changing the Crystal Report dependency from 10.2 to 11.5 using config file

Hi,
We have an windows application in .net 2.0, which refers to Crystal Report 10.2 version. Now the dependency was being upgraded to 11.5. But we do not have the exact source code for the executable to change the dependency from 10.2 to 11.5.
I have installed the CR 11.5 to the testing machine and tried to open the appilcation. it failed saying CR 10.2 dlls were missing
Then I changed the .net config files to change the dependency assembly as follows
<runtime>
     <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
       <dependentAssembly>
         <assemblyIdentity name="CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine" publicKeyToken="692fbea5521e1304" culture="neutral" />
         <bindingRedirect oldVersion="10.2.3600.0" newVersion="11.5.3700.0"/>
       </dependentAssembly>
       <dependentAssembly>
         <assemblyIdentity name="CrystalDecisions.ReportSource" publicKeyToken="692fbea5521e1304" culture="neutral" />
      <bindingRedirect oldVersion="10.2.3600.0" newVersion="11.5.3700.0"/>
       </dependentAssembly>
       <dependentAssembly>
         <assemblyIdentity name="CrystalDecisions.Shared" publicKeyToken="692fbea5521e1304" culture="neutral" />
      <bindingRedirect oldVersion="10.2.3600.0" newVersion="11.5.3700.0"/>
       </dependentAssembly>
       <dependentAssembly>
         <assemblyIdentity name="CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms" publicKeyToken="692fbea5521e1304" culture="neutral" />
      <bindingRedirect oldVersion="10.2.3600.0" newVersion="11.5.3700.0"/>
       </dependentAssembly>
      </assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
Now the application launched with out any issues. I thought the problem was sorted out.
But when I tried to generate the report, there comes the problem
During the report generation, I am getting the following error
Crystal Reports
An error has occurred while attempting to load the Crystal Reports runtime.
Either the Crystal Reports registry key permissions are insufficient or the Crystal Reports runtime is not installed correctly.
Please install the appropriate Crystal Reports redistributable (CRRedist*.msi) containing the correct version of the Crystal Reports runtime (x86, x64, or Itanium) required. Please go to http://www.businessobjects.com/support for more information.
OK
I do not want to install the 10.2 redistributable in teh machine also do not want to re-compile the sources changing the dependency
Is there any way to achieve this ?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

No way that I know of. I believe once you change the dependency, you will have to recompile the project. Installing CR 10.2, may get this to work, but the app will most likely use the 10.2 references. Let's see if anyone else has any ideas.

Matching config file Crystal Reports 8

Post Author: BBUSA
CA Forum: General
I am a novice user with Crystal Reports 8. I have been using it to modify existing reports. Now I would like to write new reports. When I try to link the new report to my application software it does not show up as an option that I can choose. The reason for this is that there is a little config file that needs to be written for each report. All the reports that I have from before have a matching config file. I can open the file in notepad but when I save it, it is no longer a config format, it becomes a text file. So my question is how do I write the correct config file from scratch. Thank you all for you cyber help.

Open notepad and type in your commands and then do a SAVE AS. For SAVE AS TYPE choose ALL FILES then for your file name type test.ini or test.cfg or whatever the extension is for the config files for the other reports. That should work.

Crystal Report Many to One Query Config error when using DataSet.ReadXML me

When I build a dataset with this method numerous relations are automatically created. I then map these fields onto crystal reports with ADO.net data connection. However when I run the report the following error occurs:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.InternalException: Cannot determine the queries necessary to get data for this report.Details:
This query cannot be performed. The link order requires many to one query configuration, which is not supported. Please rearrange the links.
If I remove the links (relations) i get duplicate data on the report. Is there any way to resolve this or a patch for the error?

How to config Gmail SMTP server for Crystal Report servers

Hi Experts,
My customer is using Gmail. They need to send out email from Gmail account via Crystal Reports Server to do some reports bursting.
I tried many ways to setup in both CrystalReportJobServer and DestinationJobServer, but just got the following error message.
[AccountsID (8caa73d5-fd2d-469d-8ef2-4d8bd277dc20)]. login error. [[CrystalEnterprise.Smtp] ([1]/[1])]: [SMTP Server does not support authentication. Return code: [SMTP 502 - Command not implemented.].] (FBE60013)
User name and password are correct. It seems it just cannot get authentication.
Anyone can help? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Christina

Hello,
Sebastian is right. BO doesn't support SSL for email.
However, there is a workaround by using a program sTunnel which redirects a default connection to a SSL connection.
Have a look at the note 1611420 which explains on how to do it.
(https://bosap-support.wdf.sap.corp/sap/support/notes/1611420)
This will not be supported by BO of course but feel free to test it

Crystal Report Image Problem

On launching the Crystal Report we are getting the error "Failed to get the specific page." this is shown above the Crystal report viewer. In the bottom of the viewer "Error:Programming Error" is displayed. The same report is working fine when the image is removed in the rpt file.
Opertaing System : Windows Server 2008 Standard with Service pack1 (64 bit server).
IIS is running in 32 bit
Crystal Report Version : Crystal Report XI. (It is not release 2)
It is a web based application coded in C# for launching the report.
Steps that has been verified are
1. Modifying the App pool from integrated to clasic
2. In the web.config http handlers has been included (under classic mode)
3. In the integrated mode i tried with <handlers> entries in System.Webserver that too got failed.
<handlers>
<add name="CrystalImageHandler.aspx_GET" verb="GET" path="CrystalImageHandler.aspx" type="CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalImageHandlerPage, CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=<version>, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=<keytoken>" preCondition="integratedMode"/>
</handlers>
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false"/>
Is there any hot fix or settings available for this issue.
Please Note : The same report deliverables are working fine in Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Windows 2003 server.

Your best bet is to install the last service pack for XI and use the same level runtime for deployment and give it a shot or just move to XI R2.
XI hasnt been supported for quite a while and was never tested or supported on Win2008 or 64 bit servers as far as I know.
I didnt see anything specific to this that wasnt fixed by a hotfix.
Are you publishing this as a web service or a regular web app?

Crystal Report prompts for username / pwd when deployed to Bus Obj Server

Hi All,
I'm relatively new to Crystal Reports development. My day job is test analyst. I'm reasonably technically proficient.
PROBLEM
I have created a number of Crytsal Reports which have now been deployed to an Enterprise Business Objects Report Server. The Server is Business Objects Server XI release 2.
When I run the report in Crystal Reports Desiger 2008 it does not prompt me to enter the database credentials except if I have modified the SQL command or some other report detail. Most times I run the report, no database username / pwd is required because I already set this up in the datasource config.
I' connecting to an Oracle database using ODBC (RDO) connection type. I cannot get the ODBC (RDO) connection type working from my PC using Crystal Reports Designer 2008, because I don't have ODBC configured for my datasource. Instead, Im using the native Oracle Server driver to connect to my datasource.
An existing user in the client organisation configured my report to use the ODBC (RDO) conneciton type for me because the Business Objects Server in the client organisation does not (currently) support the native Oracle driver. Other reports this user has created and deployed using the ODBC conenction type run successfully without prompting user to enter the database connection credentials.
NOTE:
This report users an SQL Command (new to Crystal 2008 I beleive?). The command is reqiured for this report due to the complexity of the underlying SQL query.
Does anybody know why the report keeps prompting me to enter the database credentials at runtime? Obviously for security reasons I don't want report users to have to enter the database schema name and password in order to run the report.

Hi,
You need to uncheck "Propmt the user for database logon when viewing". You will find this when you deploy the report on the BOE XI R2.
The deployment step main heading is
Specify Databse Crendentials.
Hope this helps,
Thanks

Crystal Reports xi r2 integrating with vs2005

Hi,
I'm having a problem getting these two integrated and working properly with all the functionality that I need.
I installed vs2005 and then CRXIR2, and now in vs2005 when I have a report open, I have 2 Crystal Report tabs at the top and in each the options are repeated 4 times for each menu item, makes for a very cluttered menu.
Also, when I an existing report to a vb2005 asp project in the property pages/web config it adds 2 assemblies for each items, one for version 10.2.3600 and one for 11.5.3700. Is there a way that I can eliminate this.
And lastly, I use ODBC connections to a database and with the 10.2.3600 assemblies it was disconnecting right away and closing the session after the queries, while the new 11.5.3700 ones do not seem to kill the sessions and fills up the connections until I manually go out and clear them up.
I know thats a lot to deal with, but I'm sure that they are all related.
Thank you very much for your help.
James

Hi James,
Microsoft released an update for VS.NET 2005 which broke the integration of Crystal XI R2 with .NET 2005 when applied. Just do an uninstall/reinstall of Crystal XI R2 and that should fix the multiple tab and drop down issue as well as it putting in both 10.2 and 11.5 assemblies.
You should probably create a new thread for the 2nd problem if it persists after the uninstall/reinstall.

Report fails to generate on Crystal Reports Server

Post Author: cmilkosk
CA Forum: General
Hello all!
I have a case open with BO on generating a report from a Crystal Reports Server (CRS). The report works fine when running in Crystal Reports on my PC, but after I send it to the Crystal Reports Server, it fails with a message like:"Failed to open the connection.
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\Data\procSched\metrixdb.reportjobserver\~tmp9bc512965895e0.rpt"This error appears to be telling you that it is trying to connect to
the CRS's reportjobserver process and having a problem, but the service is up according to the Central Config Manager. I tried starting and stopping it, but it didn't make a difference. This happens for different reports sent to the server. One common thing that I've noticed is that the reports that connect to the CRS's local SQL Server 2005 database are the ones that are failing. So, my CRS resides on the same host as the SQL Server 2005 database (which also houses the CRS SQL DB). Interestingly, reports scheduled that connect to a remote SQL Server 2000 database work fine. It could be the simplest report that I am running off of the CRS/SQL Server 2005 host, and it still fails every time. Tech support so far hasn't been much of a help. They suggested that I upgrade my Crystal Reports software on my PC to R2, but that didn't fix the problem.Has anyone had any trouble like this before? If so, have you found out what the cause was?I'm beginning to wonder if it is related to SQL Server 2005 or potentially just that it is connecting to a local database.Note - my CRS's software version appears to be 11.5.3.438. I'm not sure if I am running CRS R1 or R2 (how can you tell?).Anyone have any ideas?Thanks,Chris

Crystal Report Viewer integration with Sharepoint 2010

We had a requirement in our project to view crystal report off an hyper link embedded into sharepoint web part developed using ASP .NET. The report accepted few parameters from the sharepoint page and passed those on to the SQL server to retrive data and
display the data in the report. The challenge was to open the report in the web browser.
The first difficulty was to find the right control to use, the report viewer tool that comes with Visual Studio 2010 is not the right one to use to view Crystal reports, I realised this after spending half a day trying to figure out why wouldn't the report
load. I then downloaded the Crystal Report Viewer for VS 2010 Standard from http://www.businessobjects.com/jump/xi/crvs2010/us2_default.asp. After you install this, you get the crystal report viewer in your toolbar. All you have to do is drag and drop it on
to the web part and configure it to use your report. If any one needs help with this let me know I will show how to do that.
So far so good. The biggest challenge was to deploy this on to the production server which took better part of 3 days to figure out how its done. If you deploy the WSP file as it is expecting that the crystal DLLs would be embedded in it then be ready to
expect a rude shock because it isn't. Here are the steps -
1. Deploy the WSP to the sharepoint server
2. Install the crystal dlls used in the project (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll, CrystalDecisions.ReportSource.dll, CrystalDecisions.Shared.dll, CrystalDecisions.Web.dll) into the GAC using GacUtil command
3. Add following entries to Web.Config file (C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80\web.congif)
    <SafeControl Assembly="CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304" Namespace="CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine" TypeName="*" Safe="True" SafeAgainstScript="False"
/>
      <SafeControl Assembly="CrystalDecisions.ReportSource, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304" Namespace="CrystalDecisions.ReportSource" TypeName="*" Safe="True" SafeAgainstScript="False" />
      <SafeControl Assembly="CrystalDecisions.Shared, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304" Namespace="CrystalDecisions.Shared" TypeName="*" Safe="True" SafeAgainstScript="False" />
      <SafeControl Assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304" Namespace="CrystalDecisions.Web" TypeName="*" Safe="True" SafeAgainstScript="False" />
4. Install crystal redistributable package which can be downloaded from http://www.businessobjects.com/jump/xi/crvs2010/us2_default.asp (
SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4 (64-bit))
5. Copy aspnet_client folder from C:\>inetpub\wwwroot and overwrite it on C:\>inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80
And we are done. Fingers crossed it should all work.

Hi Mahesh,
How are you loading the report in your webpart? This is what I have done. I have tried to explain what I am doing in the program comments. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Linux - Oracle - Crystal Report Server XI : Error in File Report1: Failed to load database information.

I am using Crystal Reports Server XI on Linux Server with Oracle Server 10g.
I did install Oracle Client on Report Server and config Oracle SID in tnsnames.ora also. It works well with tnsping command. Then, I published a report which was created in Crystal Reports developer on this server.
When I preview the report on Report Server. I got the following error message:
Error in File Report1: Failed to load database information.
Try to fix the problem I ran web Central Management Console -> Objects ->Report1->Process -> Database and set there the following parameters:
Database driver: Oracle
Server: servers_host_name
Database: (tried both ORACLE_SID and tns_name)
User: oracle_user_name
Password: oracle_pw
It still got the same problem.
I will appreciate any help.
Tham.

I was having a similar problem in Crystal Reports Server 2008 v1, and had to install the full client to resolve it, which I didn't like. I poked around some, and was able to get the Instant Client working with a few minor changes. Note that I tried it only with the 32-bit Instant Client even though I was on a 64-bit system because that was what SAP recommended when I talked to them.
The changes I had to do was initialize the Oracle environment variables (the instant client doesn't have a script to do this for you) and to create a soft-link which is included in the full client, but not in the instant client.
To setup the environment variables I created a file called env.sh and put it in /opt/crystal/bobje/setup/oracle/, where /opt/crystal was my install path. This ensured that it got called by the /opt/crystal/bobje/setup/env.sh script which runs as part of the System init scripts to initialize the environment. The following is what I put in my file (again for the 32-bit 11g R2 instant client):
     export ORACLE_SID=summitdb
     export ORACLE_HOME='/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client'
     export ORACLE_BASE='/usr/lib/oracle/'
     export TNS_ADMIN='/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/network/admin'
     export PATH="$:/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/bin"
     export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$$/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/lib"
After that, I created the missing soft link using this command:
     ln -s "$/lib/libclntsh.so.11.1" "$/lib/libclntsh.so.10.1"
Once I had done those two things, and restarted the service using the /etc/init.d script, it worked fine.

Crystal Reports XI and Sun One 6.1 web server SP 5 Error finding JNDI name

I am trying to create a Crystal Reports XI report in a JSP using Sun One 6.1 Web server sp 5.
At this point I am getting the error �Error finding JNDI name� on Sun One
The application will run on Netbeans/Tomcat
I have done the following:
I edited CRConfig.xml

I created a report using JDBC (JNDI) connection and have the JNDI Connection set to the name of DATA.
The report works just fine in Crystal Reports.
Then in Netbeans I created an application and it runs in the Tomcat part of Netbeans

Please help with my crystal reports server 2008 trial setup

Firstly, if this is in the wrong section feel free to move it. I find this forum is to big to find the information i need, in fact trying to find anything i need on this website is almost impossible. So far not impressed with SAP at all! we download a trial and when we have problems nobody can support us and we have to post in the forums for answers, which i find disgracefull to be honest. So this post is my last attempt of finding the answers to my problems or we are going to forget crystal reports server for good! I was also told that if i wanted help setting this up then i would have to pay, thats not how things usually go when we download a trial of any software!
Anyway, rant over!!
Right, we have windows server 2008 and have installed crystal reports server 2008. So far all i have managed to get working is the reports themselves which run and schedule fine. The dashboard and business views are so confusing i just dont get it at all, the manuals dont help either becuase they are rubbish basically. But my first problem is trying to get windows AD authentication working! easier said than done. I have spent 4 days trying to get it working but nothing is happening. this is what i have done so far
Set up all the options in the CMC to enable AD authentication, mapped a few groups one of which i am a member of.
Then i setup the krb5.ini file like below (removed my server name and domain name)
[libdefaults]
    default_realm = DOMAIN.CO.UK
    dns_lookup_kdc = true
    dns_lookup_realm = true
    udp_preference_limit = 1
[realms]
DOMAIN.CO.UK = {
    kdc = DC.CO.UK
    default_domain = DOMAIN.CO.UK
i also have that other file bscLogin which looks like this...
com.businessobjects.security.jgss.initiate {
com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required;
The server inteligence agent has been set to use the same username as i specified in the CMC which is also the service principal name and the administartion name
i have set the web config file to use SecWINAD as default, i have also set it to give the option of enterprise, win ad etc in a drop down list
i have gone round in circles for days following the instructions, and nothing is happening
Also i dont see any usernames within the groups i have mapped , am i supposed to see any? am i supposed to add them manually?? if so, whats the point in that?
So now everytime i try to log in i get this error message
Account Information Not Recognized: Active Directory Authentication failed to log you on. Please contact your system administrator to make sure you are a member of a valid mapped group and try again. If you are not a member of the default domain, enter your user name as UserName@DNS_DomainName, and then try again. (FWM 00006)
There is also another error message i get, which isnt coming up right now but it says somthing along the lines of could not authenticate at this time (FWM 00005)
i fail to see what im doing wrong. I shoudl also point out that the username i am using for everything is our own network admin password!
any ideas on things to check before we give up with this all together?

Hi Roberto,
With the changes when SAP took over BusinessObjects the support packaging also changed. It's the way it is now but we are moving to and giving as much options as we can. SAP works on the Self Serve practice. the info is available but you have to find it, which is another thing we are working on to improve for BOE/CRS.
Best place to start is in the CMS link off the start menu, You'll find the Admin Guide and Setup/Configuration Guides. You can also find all of the latest info and updates to those guides from help.sap.com then click on the SAP BusinessObjects tab along the top and then on the left click on All Products and then filter on your version.
Once the Firewalls and Domains and your CRS Server is added to the Trusted Domains and ports opened to allow CRS to talk to the DNS Server CRS will begin to load all of the users into it's User Mappings. You still have to add each user or Group of Users but they will be available. Documents does describe how to....
Once you have the Admin Guide search on Security and it explains in details how to set up and which ports need to be opened etc.
Thank you
Don
