Crystal report .dll files required on server.

Hi.
I'm new to Crystal Report and I have a "small" problem.
I'm developing an windows app. that should be accesed from a Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x64 Edition.
When I run my app. om the server and want to see a report created with Crystal Report, I'm told that Crystal Report runtime is not installed correct.
I have tryied to instal both CRRuntime_12_0_mlb and CRRedist2008_x64. But I still get the errormessage.
What am I doing wrong og missing.
Which .dll files are required on the Server and in my app directory??
When I run the app on my local machine the report works perfect.
Regards
Benn

What is the version of the assembly crystal decisions.crystal reports. engine.dll referenced in your app? Also, remeber that only CR 10.2 and CR 10.5 (Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008) are 64 bit. All other versions of CR are 32 bit. See [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10d5fa88-2013-2c10-c9a5-f11963607d4e] article for more details.
For details re. correct runtime files see [this|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56787567] wiki.

Crystal Reports 2008 - Blank page on server only

Crystal Reports 2008 - Blank page on server only
My report is developed in the Crystal Reports 2008 Report Designer 12.0.0.683.
I have a .NET application that takes the report file, an ODBC connection and exports the resulting report to PDF. This application is deployed as an MSI and includes the Crystal Reports .msm merge module. The report uses multiple views and tables from a single database to create invoices in PDF format.
Problem: For one particular invoice, a blank page is being added to the end of the invoice. This blank page contains the report's standard page header. There is no missing data and no missing sections on the invoice. This is only occurring when the pdf is generated on a Windows Server 2008 x64 server where the application is deployed using the merge modules.
I have installed the application locally on my Windows Vista Business x86 system and the generated PDF does NOT contain the blank page at the end.
The blank page is not generated when previewing the report in Report Designer. For the particular invoice this is occurring on, footer F and footer G are blank and therefore suppressed.
Please bear in mind that this happens only for one particular invoice that uses this report file and does not happen from my local system using the same .rpt file.
The report is constructed of the following sections:
-Page Header (suppressed on page 1)
-Grp1 header A (watermark conditionally suppressed based upon a parameter)
-Grp1 header B (Keep together - always fits onto a single page)
-Details
-Grp1 footer A (Keep together)
-Grp1 footer B (Conditionally suppressed based upon data)
-Grp1 footer C (Keep together)
-Grp1 footer D (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section. New page before but (Not OnLastRecord))
-Grp1 footer E (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section.)
-Grp1 footer F (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section.)
-Grp1 footer G (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section.)
-Report footer (Always blank. Suppress blank section)
-Page footer (Fixed static content, displayed on every page.)

Thanks for responding, Jonathan.
Is the same runtime installed on the 64 bit system? I notice from your version number that you do not have any service packs installed on the dev system. SP 2 is out and may help.
I have installed SP1 and SP2 this morning, resaved the report file and tried again but the same problem remains.
I'm not sure how to answer your runtime question. I am using the same application built with the same merge modules on both the dev machine and the production server. Of course, the dev machine has the additional complication of having Crystal Reports 2008 installed. Perhaps this is causing the difference?
Compare the printer settings between the two systems. Try installing the same printer driver on the 64 bit system.
Perhaps I am misinterpreting your suggestion, but I am not printing the invoices. I am only exporting them to PDF. It is the PDF that has the extra page. Is there a 'print to PDF' driver of some sort that I need?
Also, was the .NET application compiled as 32 bit, or Any CPU? Whichever it was, try switching it then recompiling to see if that helps.
I tried switching to Any CPU but this caused the Crystal Reports module not to load at all on the 64bit Windows server.
Thank you for your suggestions, but my problem remains. Is it worth trying with the redistributable msi rather than using the merge modules? If so, could you recommend which one I should use? I am using Visual Studio 2008 Professional.

After installing Crystal Reports XI on Windows 2003 server with one error..

After installing Crystal Reports XI on Windows 2003 server with one error... REGSVR sapldap.dll error. I had to regsvr it manually. Crystal still didn't run. Found out that Crystal Reports XI will not run until you change DEP to protect only windows program and services. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing your finding. Very much appreciated.
The DEP is a known issue and it is documented in [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_erq/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do] note.
Crystal Reports XI was not compiled with the nx flag as it released before Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows 2003 Service Pack 1.
As for the sapldap.dll. I'm not sure where this is coming from. I do not see this dll on my install, however it does come with the SAP portal integration kit. So I'm not sure if that is flying around somewhere on that server(?)

Crystal Reports 10 Compatibility with Windows Server 2008 R2

Hello I'm a developer and I'm in the process of migrating my ASP.NET application that uses crystal reports 10 from a win2k3 server to a win2k8 R2 server.
First of all, is CR 10 compatible with windows server 2008 R2?
The application is up and running on the new server, the only thing that fails is the reports. I get the following error message:
Error in file ....c:\windows\temp\{TEMP_FILE_NAME}.rtp
Failed to create the Crystal Query Engine.
This occurs at report.load(..)
I did already grant NETWORK SERVICE access to Temp and ran the CR redistribute msi that came with Visual Studio 2008 - CRRedist2008_x64.msi.
Please help

YESSSS!!!! IT WORKS!!
Finally, after days of installing, uninstalling, setting permissions, crawling through process monitor output.. I finally have it working.
For anyone with the same problem, here's what worked for me:
I had to use the 32-bit runtime
set application pool to 32-bit
grant the following permissions based on the different errors listed below:
Error in File UNKNOWN.RPT
- Give NETWORK SERVICE list permission on C: Drive, run a report, then remove NETWORK SERVICE from the list (weird, but works, and I had to do this every single time I setup Crystal Reports on a new computer so far).
- You might also have to set correct permission on 'Temp' if u get still get this error.
Error in file ....c:\windows\temp.rtp
Failed to create the Crystal Query Engine
- Grant correct permission to C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects (your path may vary)
(For me it was giving Users Modify permission to Business Objects folder)
Unknown Query Engine ErrorError in File C:\Windows\TEMP\.rpt:
Unknown Query Engine Error
- Switch application pool to 32-bit.
- Make sure Crystal Reports Runtime is 32-bit (CRRedist2008_x86.msi)
Thank you guys so much for all your help and sticking through this with me.

Localization of text objects in Crystal Report RPT file

Dear all,
Does anyone know how support multiple locale text (English and French) in one single Crystal Report RPT file. Is there a way to parameterize text objects (including tiles, axis, of chart) in the Crystal Report RPT files to use some sort of locale resource file containing text string for different languages based on the users of RPT at runtime? The idea is to use one single RPT file to generate report for different locale text instead of creating RPT file per locale. For example, inserting a text object in RPT file and it has text "Welcome" in English and use the same RPT file and parameterize that text object's text with a resource file and the text of that object will retrieve the proper localized text from that resource file at runtime based on the user's locale setting.

Easiest way is to place duplicate copies of charts in split sections.
If you have a chart in a group footer, split into two sections place English chart in one and french in the other.
In section expert suppress section based on language field in database. You can do same with Text box or you can over lay two text boxes one in english one in French and then format text box to suppress depending on language. Looks really messy in designer but will be fine in Preview.

Localization of CrossTab row and column label Crystal Report RPT file

Dear all,
Does anyone know how to support multiple locale texts (English and French) in CrossTab Row and Column Header labels and grand total labels? Is there a way to parameterize text objects CrossTab in one single Crystal Report RPT file to use some sort of locale resource file containing text string for different languages based on the users of RPT at runtime? The idea is to use one single RPT file to generate report for different locale text for CrossTab Row and Column abels and grand total labels instead of creating RPT files per locale?

Hi,
Does the database have a column that identifies the language? If it does, then you could create two separate cross-tabs and place them in different sections and conditionally suppress the section depending on the language from the database.
That's the only thing that can be done in my opinion.

Location for dll files in weblogic server 6.1 sp2

"where to keep *.dll files in weblogic server 6.1 sp2". Application is deployed on weblogic server 6.1 sp2. Application is being integrated with webmethod to publish data. For that we need to put awssl40jn.dll in weblogic server. Could not able to locate where to put this dll file.

You can have the dll's anywhere. You just need to mention the location
in java.library.path.
For example if you have your Dll's in C:\bea\lib
You need to mention the following in your command line args:
java -Djava.library.path=C:\bea\lib ****Other Command Line Args****
weblogic.Server
Hope this helps.

Crystal Report Dll problem with Visual Studio 2005

I am using Crystal Reports with Visual Studio 2005. At one time there were two different version of Crystal Decision Dll in Global Assembly Cache (GAC). So I uninstalled both the versions and then only installed 10.2.3600.
I am facing the following error when building my application in visual studio.
The type 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument' exists in both 'c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\arms website\301a5b02\e03ad7d9\assembly\dl3\c30f5560\00f92427_3857ca01\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.DLL'
and
'c:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine\10.2.3600.0__692fbea5521e1304\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll'
I have only installed it in .Net Framework. For some reason it appears in the temp folder. I cannot delete it and when I renamed it after the next compile it came back again.
I would appreciate any help.

Thanks for the tip.
I installed CR XI R2 with SP2 and 2.1
There are few reports in the system they use to run fine but now when I try to run them I get the following error:
Failed to open the connection. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 4060 ] Failed to open the connection. C:\DOCUME1\SSheikh\LOCALS1\Temp\ZGA370 {71BFCD35-F652-48C8-896D-B93229A4D2C2}.rpt Details: [Database Vendor Code: 4060 ]
I understand that these reports run ok independently and on production machine as well; however when I try to run them from my development machine I get the above error.
I would appreciate help to resolve this. The code of the report is with report developer and I need to know what settings do I need to change where to be able to run the reports. Also I use my machine for deployment of application on the production server.
Thanks.

Crystal Report Export not working in Server 2008

Hi
Please Help..
I am Using Crystal report Report 9 with VB 6 and SQL Server 2008. All my Client PC s (Windows XP SP3) are able to export the reports in any format but with my SERVER - (Windows Server 2008 (32 Bit)) it isn't possible. The Button is very much enabled
but when I click on it, Nothing happens.. Please Help...

Hi,
I would like to suggest you try to run SAP Crystal Reports under Compatibility Mode to check if it works.
Run in compatibility mode with administrative privilege
================================
1. Right-click the .exe file of the SAP Crystal Reports program and choose
Properties.
2. Switch to the
Compatibility tab.
3. Please check the
Run this program in compatibility mode for and choose
Windows XP (Service Pack 3).
4. Check the
Run this program as an administrator box under the
Privilege Level.
5. Click
Apply, click OK.
Note: If the option is unavailable when running this program as an administrator, it means that either the application is blocked from always
running elevated, the application does not require administrative credentials to run, or you are not logged into the computer as an administrator.
If it does not work, it is high recommended to contact your local SAP Support Engineers for further assistance. They are more familiar with their own
product.

Large Crystal Reports eating up CPU on server

We have a server with several sql server databases. Clients log into the software on the server connecting to their own databases. Each database contains that company's Crystal Reports so that they can report on their own data in the database.
Unfortunately, some of the databases have a lot of information in them and when these companies run the report(s), it eats up the CPU of the server pretty much acting as a DoS for other users on the server.
Is it possible to somehow load in a report from a stream of data without needing to save the file to the hard-drive first?
Does the file on the hard-drive serve as a temporary storage location for the data being retrieved or is that held in memory until the ExportToStream method is called? If yes, that would explain why there is no Load method, that I can see, that allows a stream.
Is there a way to detect how big a report is getting as it's being built (a callback method or setting a property) and, if it exceeds a certain limit, to cancel the report?

There is a lot of info missing here, but I'll get to that later.
While your questions are very good, the short of it is; no. Essentially you are running into the OS limit rather than anything to do with Crystal Reports. Large reports may need that memory and a 32 bit OS will let us use up to 2 GIGs (a bit less actually, but close enough). If another report is needed that requires memory, you will run into issues such as crashes, out of memory exceptions, etc., etc. So, you have four options;
1) Limit the amount of data
2) Use 64 bit version of CR (more below)
3) Use one of the Enterprise products and schedule the reports for later viewing
4) Web farms, using sticky sessions
The only versions of CR that are 64 bit are 10.2 and 10.5 which bundle with .NET 2005 and .NET 2008 respectively. 64 bit app on 64 bit OS essentially does not have memory limitations.
Now, my questions;
1) What version of CR are you using?
2) How large is the data that is being processed?
3) How big is the report (pages, size) once it is done?
4) Are you using he latest runtime available for your version of CR?
5) Is your version of CR using the latest Service pack?
6) Is this a web or a windows app?
7) What typically is the OS?
8) What type of database connection are you using?

Crystal Report 8.5 with SQL SERVER 2005 problems

Post Author: AREVA
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hi All !We have some problems with Crystal Reports version 8.5 with SQL Server 2005: 1) When we want to generate a report (using data in SQL Server 2005) we have a popup message error : "impossible to loaded pdssql.dll".2) If we want to use SQL Server 2005, which Crystal Reports version we must used ? Is there any restrictions with this connectivity with 8.5 version ?Please, let me known, all informations about SQL Server 2005 and Crystal Report 8.5.Thanks for all !Best regards Anthony

Hello Kamlesh,
There is no expectation that the ActiveX viewer (RDC?) from CR8.5 will work in any version of Visual Studio .NET. There is also no expectation that the ActiveX viewer from CR8.5 will work on a machine with a 64 bit operating system.
You're using VS2008. You should migrate to the bundled edition of CR for VS2008 (v10.5), the ReportDocument object, and the .NET Windows form viewer or Web form viewer.
Sincerely,
Dan Kelleher

Crystal Reports 2008 install on Windows Server 2008

I am trying to do a typical install of Crystal Reports 2008 on Windows Server 2003 and I keep getting an error that says "ReportConvTool.dll failed to register" and then the same error for other dll's, Myinfoview.dll, Encyclopedia.dll, etc.. What can be the problem?
I installed on a Vista machine with no problems.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken

Hi,
I will not be able to provide the 'why' of this issue but per my research, these are how other users have done to get through this issue:
Please ensure that your Windows Server 2003 version is supported in your version of CR 2008 by going through the platform support document in our SMP
First scenario:
Continue with your installion ignoring the error message and manually register those DLLs afterwards
Second scenario
Continue with your installation ignoring the error message. Go to Add/remove programs and uninstall CR 2008 and reinstall it anew
Third scenario
Those DLLs indicates you have other BO products installed in that Windows server 2003. If it is just a test box, remove those products and reinstall them.
I've listed the steps from easy to complex and hopefully one resolves your issue.
Worst scenario, please log a ticket to Support through our Service Market Place (SMP)
