Crystal Report Deployment Help

Hi,
We have developed Winforms, which uses Crystal Reports. When we were loading the report using "..\..\Reports\Reportname.rpt", the path inside the project's subfolder in development was working fine. As soon as we deployed the set up project, which was created by Visual studio team system 2008 Setup project, we are receiving an error message "Load report failed" when we load the Crystal Reports from the application.
It seems that it could not find the path of the report, or it could not find the required Crystal Reports DLL files to load the report. We'd be very appreciated if any of you can help.
Thanks,
Wilson

See [this|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsforVisualStudio.NETRuntimeDistribution-Versions9.1to12.0] wiki. Find your version of CR and the runtime link. Download that, install the CR runtime.

You did not say which version of Crystal Reports you're trying to deploy.
CR XI and CR XI Release 2 are NOT supported on 64 bit systems. The only versions of Crystal Reports supported on 64 bit machines is the version of Crystal that bundles with VS2005 - CR.NET 2005 (v10.2). If you upgrade your VS2005 machine by installing CR XI Developer, or CR XI R2 Developer onto your development machine you will not be able to deploy your application. In this case the only option would be to "downgrade" back to the bundled edition that ships with VS2005.

Crystal Report deploying into BO repository giving Failed to open the conn

Hi all,
I am creating a crystal report using JDBC connection and by adding a command (a custom sql)
Then I add a static prompt containing a list of values. In the crystal reports designer, I am able to change the parameter and reports pull up data accordingly.
Now when I deploy the same report to business objects repository, I am able to access the report.
But if I change the parameter value and apply it, I am getting an error saying "Failed to open the connection. .rpt"
I browsed through and thought that I might have to add a business view LOV. So I used Business View Manager and created a LOV and added it to the report. Even then the error persists when the report is deployed onto a BO repository
Appreciate your help,
Joe.

Hi Don,
Thanks for your reply.
I copied the ojdbc.jar from oracle\product\<ver>\db_1\jdbc\lib to Business Objects\common\<ver>\java\lib\external.
Then I added this info
<JDBCURL>jdbc:oracle:thin:@{server name}:1521:</JDBCURL>
<JDBCClassName>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</JDBCClassName>
<JDBCUserName></JDBCUserName>
<JNDIURL></JNDIURL>
<JNDIConnectionFactory></JNDIConnectionFactory>
<JNDIInitContext>/</JNDIInitContext>
<JNDIUserName>weblogic</JNDIUserName>
to CRConfig.xml.
I am not sure where to specify the password for the Oracle user.
When ever I try to refresh the report / apply a parameter, It is asking me for the oracle user name and password.
Can you please help out as to where we need to specify the user name / password for oracle user (schema).
I tried creating a connection from CMC. Couldnt do it.
I tried to find an option in Crystal Reports designer which can import or persist the connection information but in vain.
thanks for your help
Joe.

CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Dear All,
In my organization, we have an application for generating Adhoc reports from my back end system. My back-end DB is sybase.
In this application for we are using Crystal report for generating these reports. We have nearly 10 branches and 2 HO. All most all these users uses this application for generating reports. Reports are not embadded in the application, all RPT files are kept in a shared directory in a central server.
We have installed this Windows application in all the PCs, when user access this report we are loading this report from the shared path.
Now, we have a plan to with Web mode. Is it worth going with web mode?
Can any one tell me about the advantages and disadvantages of web mode over this Windows based application.
Thanks in advance.
Pramodu. C. P

Ok.
1) Make sure you are using the full framework 4.0, not the client framework
2) Make sure you are using CR VS2010 SP 2:
http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/cr4vs2010/CRforVS_13_0_2.exe
3) Take a look at the following:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/elearn?rid=/library/uuid/4053ee51-162a-2d10-b8b0-fdd7a26d5cd2
http://thedatafarm.com/blog/data-access/crystal-reports-and-visual-studio-2010/
4) Download the developer help files:
SAP Crystal Reports .NET API Guide http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/sapCRVS2010/en/crnet_api_2010_en.zip
SAP Crystal Reports .NET SDK Developer Guide http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/sapCRVS2010/en/crnet_dg_2010_en.zip
5) Since you are using ADO .NET datasets, see kb [1525432 - Could not load file or assembly 'file:///<Path>crdb_adoplus.dll' or one of its dependencies|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333533323335333433333332%7D.do]
Finally, a small recommendation; find a saved data report, create a new app (win or web), throw a CR viewer on the form and the following code (on page load or page init);
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = <path to your saved data report>. That should give you your 1st success - work form there.
Oh, and make sure your dataset is not over a couple of thousand rows. Otherwise, you will m ore than likely run into memory issues.

VS Net 3.5 Crystal Reports Deployment causing database login prompt

I have deployed a Visual Studio executible module written in VB Net 3.5 SP 1 with Crystal Reports. When the user tries to view a report(s)
they are prompted to login in to the data base that has been data sourced into the report module. The correct database was verified before the build was made. The developer is able to run the report in a run mode on the local machine where the VB project was created.
In the properties section in the project the following check boxes pertaining to reports were checked on:
         Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008(x86, x64)
         Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Report Viewer
Notes: If the executible module is deployed to a machine that has Visual Studio 2008 installed, the Reports run fine without a database login prompt.
         If the executible module is deployed to a machine that does not have Visual Studio 2008 installed, the user is prompted for a login.
         The data base is a SQL server 2008 database.
I'm being prompted for a server/database login when deploying the application and running it on a machine that does not have Visual Studio 2008 installed on it. One thing I forgot to mention is that the prompt dialog has only the database server name pre-filled but there is
no database name in the dialog. Both of these fields are grayed out. The Crystal Report was updated to reference the new server and database, and I also verified the database successfully.

Hello,
Not sure what DB driver you used to create the reports but if it's the native driver then you need to install the Native client from MS SQL Server 2008 CD/DVD onto the app server also.
MS SQL 2008 will not use MDAC, which is always installed. It requires the client to be installed.
There is also an issue when using OLE DB driver and Time(7) field types in MS's driver and Crystal Reports. Cr see's them as string fields, the driver returns the wrong field type to CR. ODBC does work with these field types.
And is your application running in 32 or 64 bit mode?
Thank you
Don

Migration between SharePoint07 and Crystal Reports - please Help !

I downloaded trial ver. of CR XI R2 with SP3 ( version 11.5.9.1076)

What do I need in order to install the Portal integration kit on Microsoft SharePoint 2007 server ?
We have Crystal Reports v10 with license but I want to try migrating SharePoint with Crystal reports
and if it will be OK we will purchase the new version.
My purpose is to install the integration kit (keep asking for SP3 in installation menu)
Do I need to Install Business Objects XI 3.1 in order to install the integration kit to SharePoint 07 ?
Where can I download it (trial) ? SAP site keep deny me.

Where is the Crystal Reports developer help file?

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for the CR devloper help file - the one that documents the object model for programming against CR from .Net. Any ideas?
Would be good if CR installed a helpfile link in the Start menu > Programs etc like other products.

Crystal Reports Deployment

Good day Mentors,
This is the first time I will be deploying CR as a reporting solution for a customer. I was able to make the reports needed already. Currently confused how to configure the client machine(s) that will have to run the reports. (If there is an existing thread, please guide me to that thread.)
From what I understand:
1. I need to install the CR AddOn on client machine plus the CR Runtime.
2. Configure the DB user and password in the CR AddOn for the client to be able to connect to the DB.
*I am unsure how to deploy the RPT file. By my understanding, the rpt file ought to be housed in B1_SHR Folder in the server and referenced by the CR AddOn in the client Machine. Referenced by pointing the CR AddOn to connect ro
SBO_SERVER\B1_SHR\Report.rpt.
Is this way of deploying the rpt file correct?
Will there be some performance/security implications if i did it this way?
Thanks in advance,
Sean Yu

Crystal Reports 2008 - help with formula to retrieve lastfullmonth

Hi, I'm new to this forum. First post. I have a SQL query where
:month(CAST(a.LAST_MOD_DT / 86400 AS datetime) + CAST('01/ 01/1970' AS datetime)) = (MONTH(getdate())- 1)
I need to create a CR formula that will pull in data from last month as this report will be run on a monthly basis. If I use 'getdate() -31' there will be a problem with the months that don't have 31 days.
I'm also very new with creating formulas so including an explaination would be helpful. Thanks,
Joyce

Sorry for the slow repsonse in getting back to you.
I wasn't able to get the SQL query to work. I did find one that does work except I need to find out how to pull in the minimum date and the maximum date of the records into the report.
Here's the SQL query:
--to query for the prior month, if January then month = 12 else month = (current month - 1 month).
and
month(CAST(a.LAST_MOD_DT / 86400 AS datetime) + CAST('01/ 01/1970' AS datetime)) =
CASE WHEN cast(DATEPART(Month,GETDATE()) as datetime) = 01
                      THEN month(cast((str(12)+'/'+ str(01) +'/'+STR(YEAR(Getdate())-1)) as datetime))
                      ELSE MONTH(cast((str(DATEPART(Month,GETDATE())-1)+'/'+ str(01) +'/'+STR(YEAR(Getdate()))) as datetime)) END
--to query for the proper year, if January then year = (current year - 1 year) else year = current year.
and
year(CAST(a.LAST_MOD_DT / 86400 AS datetime) + CAST('01/ 01/1970' AS datetime)) =
CASE WHEN cast(DATEPART(Month,GETDATE()) as datetime) = 01
                      THEN year(cast((str(12)+'/'+ str(01) +'/'+STR(YEAR(Getdate())-1)) as datetime))
                      ELSE year(cast((str(DATEPART(Month,GETDATE())-1)+'/'+ str(01) +'/'+STR(YEAR(Getdate()))) as datetime)) END

Crystal Report Prompt Help

I have declared an argument called arg_start_date which is based out of a table and its a dynamic prompt.
When i try to compile I get the following error mesage

Can any one help with this error message.

Your query has "{?arg start date} ", but you state you have declared "arg_start_date". Shouldn't your query be using ("arg_start_date} (with underlines)??

Crystal Reports Visual Studio 2010 Report Viewer Not Rendering

Hello,
I was able to get Crystal Reports deployed in a web application in VS 2008 OK, but now I am having trouble with CR and VS 2010. For some reason the data and images for the report are being displayed, but the report viewer controls and background are not. I am not getting red Xs, the viewer is just not there. I have tried changing my references, I have installed the CR run time, and all permissions are correct. I am trying to get this up and running on the local machine. Has anyone dealt with this problem before?
thanks.

Crystal Report orange link arrow to SAP B1 not working

Hello,
I couldn't find a way to insert the actual "arrow" icon into a Crystal report so I copied one from one of the Crystal Reports imbedded in SAP B1 9.0. I subsequently edited the hyperlink to point to the document number I wanted.
From the Format Editor dialog box, Hyperlink, the hyperlink website address is:
http://$b1$/link?table=OPCH&key=1
There was a formatting button to the right of the website address line. Clicking on it yielded a formula workshop dialog box that I edited as follows:
'http://$b1$/link?table=OPCH&key='+ToText({OPCH.DocNum},0,"","")
The Crystal Report runs fine in B1 and shows the link arrows. Hovering the cursor above the hyperlink in print preview yields the specific information for that record. For example, when the report shows A/P Invoice #4394 the screen shows a small pop-up with "http://$b1$/link?table=OPCH&key=4394". Clicking on the arrow brings up a window with a blank! A/P invoice with the cursor located in the "Vendor Invoice No." box (OPCH.NumAtCard field).
Why is this not working to bring up the correct A/P invoice? There are no errors indicated.
Thanks for any assistance.

Thank you, Nagarajan.
Those instructions are exactly what I've done with my report. However, the instructions start with the phrase "manually insert link arrow into Crystal report". OK, I did a Google search on "insert link arrow" and "crystal" and "reports" and "SAP" and there was only ONE webpage with these words on the ENTIRE internet--the page you sent me to. Crystal reports online help has nothing relating to a "link arrow". If there's some special aspect of this link arrow that I'm missing, it sure is a secret because there's nothing out there on this subject. I guess I'll have to copy the graphic from previous reports each time I need to do this.
CORRECT ANSWER:
In any case, I was able to resolve the issue by changing the text in the formatting dialog box from OPCH.DocNum to PCH1.DocEntry and it worked. Why it worked is beyond me. Guessing seems to be the one defining feature of doing work with SAP B1.

Crystal Report Error Message

I searched first for this error and did not see anything...
One (very useful) Crystal Report I've created work well then one day I'll get:
Failed to open rowset.
Details: S0000(ProvideX)(ODBC Driver)(FileIO)No data dictionary found for specified database
(Parentheses are actually brackets but don't "Preview" as such.)
I've tried re-establishing the database in Database Source and still nothing. I can re-create it
from scratch and it works fine again, then bang - the above error. I first use the BI Reporter to
setup the report, then switch to Crystal to edit and format it. This works fine for many other
reports created.
Any help or direction is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

1.Exactly at what stage or step do you get the error.
2.Does is point to a specific formula/object at this stage.
2.What is the crystal reports version(Help>>About Crystal Reports)
3.Database type and version.Database driver name and version.
4.What happens if a new report is created using the same odbc connection.
5. Has anything changed at the databse end.
