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)."

CA Forum: Deployment
Hi
I have a following problem.
I have installed Crystal report application server(RAS)(CE embeded 10) on Windows server 2003 enterprise x64 edition.
When i start it, i see an error:
Could not start the Crystal Report Application Server service on local computerError 1067: the process terminated unexpectedly
Sometimes, i can start it but it stops a few minutes later.
I have disabled DEP (data execution prevention).
Log:

Please help
Thanks for your help

This error occurs after an initial install, when the Oracle suite is installed logged in as the user(who has admin rights on the machine). If this is the case,
1.Go to Services (Admin Tools > Services)
2.Double click the Oracle services( BI Server or Presentation or TNS Listener).
3.Go to Log On tab
4.If local system account is checked , un-check that option. Check "This Account" option
5.Give the user information for that machine(e.g domain\username)
6.Specify password associated with the user ( the username/pwd that is used to login to the machine)
7.Confirm pwd and click Apply.
8.re-start the service.
This is what i did , and it worked.
good luck and hopefully oracle addresses these issues , they become frustrating to use the product.
Thanks,
Ram

Problem with Crystal Report Job Server Destinations

I am using Crystal Reports XI Server and I am having problems with scheduling. I believe that the problem is that I have not enabled any destinations under the Crystal Reports Job Server. The following is an observation list:
-Enabled and set up all destinations for other servers, such as the Destination Server.
-Have been able to use Infoview to directly email, inbox, and file save reports in different formats (I believe the Destination Server controls this, right?)
-All servers are enabled in the Central Configuration Manager
-Have been able to go into the Crystal Reports Job Server within the CMC, but I DO NOT FIND ANY destinations to enable (why is this?)
-Have not been able to schedule an instance of any report (neither email, nor inbox, nor file, ...nothing)
Could somebody please help me with this? Is this a limitation to the Crystal Reports XI Server vs the Enterprise edition? Is there something else I am missing? I have never been able to successfully schedule a report.

Thank you for the input, but I have not yet solved my problem. Please allow me to provide some additional information which may give more hints:
I have Crystal Reports XI Server R2 installed as 5 named user license (version that comes with developer)
The following servers are enabled in CMC (which is all of them)
-Input.DomainNameSQL
-DomainNameSQL.cacheserver
-DomainNameSQL.cms
-DomainNameSQL.destinationjobserver (has all destinations enabled)
-DomainNameSQL.eventserver
-DomainNameSQL.ListofValuesJobServer (no destination tab)
-DomainNameSQL.pageserver
-DomainNameSQL.programjobserver (has all destinations enabled)
-DomainNameSQL.RAS
-DomainNameSQL.reportjobserver (has destinations tab, but there are no destination entries to enable! Object type is: CrystalEnterprise.Report and detail: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/UserException:1.0
. Details: %2.'
These are the ONLY two event IDs that appear after I schedule the report instance. No other events occur.
Are there any other logs that I can check? How do I look up what event ID 45387 and 45385 are?
Thanks!

Crystal Reports Job Server - Default destinations not available

Greetings,
Currently I'm installing Crystal Reports XI onto a new server.
When scheduling reports they are stuck in a 'pending' status which records the following error in the windows event log:
Transport System exception for backend plugin DLL type newIJob():: Couldn't get IJob interface: CORBA exception! Object type is: CrystalEnterprise.Report and detail: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/UserException:1.0
. Details: %2.
After further investigation I discovered the Crystal reports job server has no defaul destinations, however the servers Destination Job Server and Program Job Server do have the default instances.
Firstly I assume the error reported in the event log is due to there are no destinations, as the scheduler won't know where to send out to.
Can anyone help in advising how to ensure the reports server had some default destinations?
I have restarted the server and rebooted the Crystal reports server too.
Thanks
Rob

Problems starting Crystal Reports Page Server and Report Application Server

Hi,
We have migrated to a new server and I have re-installed our Crystal Reports Server XI R1.
It is being installed on a Windows 2003 SBS Premium Server with MSSQL 2005 Workstation Edition
I have been told that I need to start the following Crystal services after installation.
1) Crystal Reports Page Server
2) Report Application Server
These services simply wont start
When I try to start Crystal Reports Page Server, I get a Visual Studio Just-In-Time Debugger window that says...
An unhandled Win32 exception occured in pageserver.exe [14892], subsequently, another window pops up [svrmgr] that says
"The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"
Also, when I try to start the Report Application Server, I get another VS JIT debugger window that says
An unhandled win32 exception occurred in crystalras.exe [12748]
I also get the same SvcMgr Window that says..."The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"
Thanks all
Paul

Hello Paul,
I recommend to post this question to [the dedicated BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration forum|BI Platform;.
That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all BOE Administration queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

Crystal Reports Job Server

What is the maximum number of jobs allowed through a Crystal Reports Job Server?
We have 4 Crystal Reports Job Servers out of which 1 is not being used. Maximum jobs allowed for the other 3 CR Job Servers are 5-7.
What is the limit?? Can I increase the number without effecting the system performance?
Please advice.
Thanks!

Which version of BO do you use?
There is a parameter setting for this that can be set over the CMC. The parameter is called Maximum Concurrent Jobs. If yaou set this to 0 then the number of maximum jobs is calculated automatically. In XI 3.1 you can see the calculated number in the Metrics of the crytsal report job server.
Increasing the number of maximum concurrent job will affect the performance depending on the number of the submitted jobs. The higher this number the more reports will be processed in parallel and thus the more load your system has to handle.

Stratos

Crystal Report 11 Server License Problem

Hello,
We installed Crystal Report 11 server, In CMC we the license information is displayed as
Gesamtzahl der lisenzen - 5
Does this mean we have 5 licenses?
We tried to excute our application (which was working fine with Crystal Report X) , but we get an error as given below:
"Alle 0 Lizenzen für den gleichzeitigen Zugriff (Concurrent Access Licenses) werden derzeit verwendet, oder der Lizenzschlüssel für Ihr System ist abgelaufen. Versuchen Sie es später noch einmal, oder wenden Sie sich an Ihren Systemadministrator, um zusätzliche Lizenzen zu erhalten"
Could anyone help on the possible solution. Does the above error mean we do not have Concurrent Access Licenses
Thanks in Advance!!!

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the Business Objects Forum or if you have a valid support contract create a case on line.

HostXYZ.cacheserver - Crystal Reports Cache Server: Failed to start/stop

Hi,
We are unable to open any of the BO Crystal Reports through our 'Clarity PPM Web Application'.When we logged on to the BO CMC portal in the production environment, In the 'Servers' section, we could see the 'HostXYZ.cacheserver in 'Stopped' state.When we are trying to restart that server, it results in an error "HostXYZ.cacheserver - Crystal Reports Cache Server: Failed to start/stop".Could you please help me how to proceed further?Please let me know, if you need any other information.
Thanks,

WHich version of BO do you use? Go into the CMC navigate to Servers and check the Metrics section of your Central management server. There should be a version number like x.y.z.w there. Can you please post it here?

Resetting Record Selection Formula on report on Crystal Reports XI Server

We have Crystal reports with recurring schedules running on Crystal Reports XI Server. If I change the Record Selection criteria in Crystal Reports Designer and do a "Save As" to overwrite the previous version of the report on the server, it does not reset the Filter -> Record Selection on each scheduled instance of the report. This means that the new criteria I've added to the base report is effectively ignored.
I understand why this would be the default behaviour but given that we have a condition that must be added to a large number of reports which are scheduled many times, I need a way to be able to force a reset of the Record Selection to that of the Crystal Report.
Any ideas how to do this?
Thanks

Hello Alan,
There's no way to alter parameters for an already-created report schedule, as you've noted.
As implied in your message, this is so that no updates on a report would affect, and potentially break, already existing scheduled report instances.
It's recommended to make changes and reschedule. As you indicate, this may be effort intensive if there are many such scheduled.
If such changes have to be done regularly, then report redesign to parameterize the filter would be recommended - but I'm assuming this is not your situation.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Crystal Reports for VS 2008 deployment on a web server

Hello,
I have .NET web application created in Visual Studio 2008. It uses built-in Crystal Report Viewer control. The reports are not built into the assembly, they are loaded from report files prepared outside of Visual Studio 2008.
I would like to deploy Crystal Reports run-time components on a web server (Windows 2008 server with IIS 7). I have found the article describing what needs to be deployed: https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56787567
Can you please let me know what kind of setup (virtual folder(s), permissions) is needed to make Crystal runtime components available for my web application. I have been trying to find instructions in the forums/wikis/articles with no success. I will need this info to communicate with our system administrator.
Thank you.

As long as you are deploying your app to a default app pool, you do not need to worry about virtual directories. The process you are running under will need read / write permissions on the win emp folder as the report print engine uses that extensively.
If you are using custom app pool you will have to either
1) create the viewer virtual directory
2) make the viewer folder part of your app directory structure
Other than that, keep the following resources close at hand:

Dynamic images in crystal reports for VS 2008

The company logo scenario. The solution I'm trying unsuccessfully to implement entails:
- the logo is not stored in the database, but resides locally on disk
- strongly typed dataset generated by stored proc in sql server 2008
- column defined in a dataset table as sqldatatype.binary, null value
- populate dataset in .net by calling the proc
- edit the byte[] column and replace null with a binary image
- push the data into the report
- print the report to pdf from a web application
Everything works fine, no errors, but if I try and display the blob in the crystal report, nothing prints. If I remove the blob without modifying any of the above code, everything prints (all tables/rows).
I have tried cloning the dataset and substituting the binary file into the appropriate column, thinking that the original might be READONLY, but the same result (prints perfectly if I don't try and show the blob).
Robert

Hi Don,
I have read your response 10 times, but I don't really understand it.
"Your only option is to use the Insert OLE Object or picture into the report" - fine, but how is this achieved from a dataset?
"CR will not display BLOB fields as pictures" - fine, but maybe I used the word BLOB badly. The dataset column datatype is "byte[]". Will CR display byte[] columns as pictures?
"You can use a database field to point to which picture file to use, then you won't be using up valuable memory space importing the images into your data set. And the Logo's now dynamic...." - this seems to suggest that the database field is a string storing the file location on disk. Yes? I don't care about memory space in this case and I'm happy to load a binary file into a byte[] column if there is a way of displaying it.
So, if I understand correctly, you're suggesting the dataset contain a table.row.column which stores the filelocation. How do I convert that to display as a picture (dynamically)?

Upgrade Crystal Reports 8 to 2008

hello,
do you guys know if there's a tool or a way that guarantees an upgrade path from crystal reports 8 to crystal reports 2008?
i have a custom who's interested in upgrading like 150 reports. I was wondering if there are ways or tools to do so and if there are limitations to those tools
thanks!

Hi Nabile,
Please let us know where you are using this reports ? On Enterprise or on a stand alone system. If you are using these reports on Enterprise as James Terry said you may have to migrate it to CR Enterprise 9 or 10 and then you have to migrate it to Crystal Reports 2008 Server.
If you are using stand alone system then you will have to pen each report in CR 2008 and refresh and save the report.
There will not be any problem while migrating reports, it will migrate entire report including sub report / formatting / formulas (complex / simple) / images etc without any problem.
In CR 8 you can add / modify the SQL which is generated by CR through DatabaseShow SQL. If you have any report with modified SQL then you will have problem. The modifications will not get carried in CR 2008. Other than this you will not have any problem.
Thanks,
Sastry

Code changes for BOE XI R2 from Crystal Reports XI Server R2

I'm using a Crystal Reports Server XI R2 server currently for hosting my development reports. But my production server is going to be Business Objects Enterprise Professional XI R2.
What will be changes that I need to ponder?

You will need to upgrade XIR2 to XI 3.1 if you intend to import reports from CRS 2008. As the message states reports cannot be imported from new to older versions only the other way is supported from older to new, or from the same version to the same version.

Tim

Performance Issue when updating parameters in a Crystal Report on Edge 2008

I have several Crystal reports posted into Edge 2008. When you select Edit on a parameter to set the parameters to run the report, it takes a noticably long time for the parameter selection window to appear. Then once you have made your choice, it takes quite a long time to close the parameter selection screen to go back to the scheduling window.
I thought it might have something to do with reports where I have linked the parameter with a table field and appended the values in the report parameter. But, it happens even when there is no link to the data for the parameter.
I've had several users saying it is very frustrating having to wait for the parameter selection.

I am using two infosets that are not linked together by any primary key. The main infoset has transaction records and the second infoset has only one record (which is a foreign exchange rate). The performance is slow and I am presuming its because there are no linked fileds between the infosets, everytime a record is read from the main infoset it goes to the second infoset and also reads the record there. Is there a way to improve performance? How can I have the report read the second infoset only once and store that value to be used when reading records from the first infoset.
