Crystal Report - Export; The system cannot find the path specified

We are trying to export a reports using the crystal report sdk either export to disk or export to stream. While doing the export
we are getting the following error
at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.ReportSourceClass.Export(ExportOptions pExportOptions, RequestContext pRequestContext)
at CrystalDecisions.ReportSource.EromReportSourceBase.ExportToStream(ExportRequestContext reqContext)
at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.FormatEngine.ExportToStream(ExportRequestContext reqContext)
at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.FormatEngine.Export(ExportRequestContext reqContext)
at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Export(ExportOptions options)
Any help would be appreciated much

Try searching and you'll find lots of info on this subject. Look for most recent posts.
Error suggests you are exporting to a folder that does not exist or you do not have permission to write to.

Dear Raj,
Please try this

Load report Failed, COMExpection: System cannot find the path specified

Interesting problem:
I have an application that runs on a web server (currently running it as simple test application to make solving this easier). We use a BO XI report to load data from the DB via a stored proc, then run an ExportToStream to get CSV data to return to the caller.
It all works well as long as I run the application under the NT Account logged into the Box (W2k3, R2). But when using a different account (it's a domain admin account), it fails with the following error:
System.Exception: Load report Failed. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): The system cannot find the path specified.
at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClienDoc.ReportClientDocumentClass.Open(Object& DocumentPath, Int32 Options)
at CyrstalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Load(String filename, OpenReportMethod openMethod).
The report is located on a file drive the openMethod is OpenReportByTempCopy. The Temp directory for the user (landes) exists on the box, all things seem to be in place.
Anybody know that path is specified and how to overcome this?
Thanks

Will it be possible to check this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACINE\SOFTWARE\Suite 11or11.5\Report Application Server\InprocServer\LocalConnectionMgr and verify if the ConnectionDirectoryPath is set to something like C:\ ?
If not, set to C:\ and see how it goes after running your app.
Cheers

Hi,
See the [Rules of Engagement|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/HOME/Rules%20of%20Engagement]
What version of Crystal Reports are you using?
Visual studio version you have?
Have you applied any servcie pack?
Is this on your development computer or on a deployed computer?
If on a deployed system, how was the CR runtime installed to that system?

Exporting ReportDocument fills up memory, then throws "The system cannot find the file specified"

Hi,
When exporting a perfectly viable ReportDocument to pdf like this:
Dim ms As IO.MemoryStream = New System.IO.MemoryStream
ms = rpt.ExportToStream(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat)
(rpt being the ReportDocument), the process starts to fill up memory at a couple of megabytes per second rate, and eventually throws Exception:
"The system cannot find the path specified."
stacktrace:
   at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.ReportSourceClass.Export(ExportOptions pExportOptions, RequestContext pRequestContext)

   at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.ExportToStream(ExportFormatType formatType)
   at {the ExportToStream invocation in my own code}
The same thing happens when I invoke the regular Export() method with any DiskFileName.
My environment is VS 2012 (premium) and I'm using CRforVS_13_0_13 (32-bit version). The programming language is VB.NET.
A similar problem seems to be discussed here: CR2008 - "The system cannot find the path specified", but the difference is there's no errors in my formula's. The report gets displayed and printed out fine. It's just the exporting that does not work. Any ideas about how to fix this?
Thanks,
Stefan

See Don Williams response here: http://scn.sap.com/thread/3713889
You cannot export using MemoryStream - you have to use IOStream.

Crystal Designer - System cannot find the file specified

Hi
I have only just installed Crystal Reports for SAP Business One. I followed the eLearing installation guide and the installation seemed to go fine. However, when i run Crystal Designer i get the following message:
The system cannot find the file specified.
Can anyone tell me why this is?
Many thanks
Martyn

Dear Mike,
Thanks for the solution. I am the only user who want to develop and view the reports. and I installed CR following the guidelines as per SAP. And I think I installed the full product.
Can you guide me how to install full product. And lasly there was a point in installation guide numvbered 17 which I could not understand.
17.
If the Crystal Designer has been installed on the local PC, the following file needs to be edited ( or checked to be correct). The file gives the path to the Crystal Reports Designer exe. The add-on will read this file to launch Crystal Designer.
C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\AddOns\SAP_CR\Resources\CrystalDesignerPath.txt
I gave the path of crystal reports designer exe in this file but of no use.
Need your guidance.
Thanking you in anticipation

LMS 4.2.4 User Tracking End Host Report The system cannot find the path specified

Hello at all,
I have a problem when creating a scheduled User Tracking End Host Report.
I always get the message "The system cannot find the path specified" and the job fails.
An immediate report is successful.
I tried to change the "Report Publish Path" from "C:/Program Files (x86)/CSCOpx/" to "C:/PROGRA~2/CSCOpx/", but that did'nt worked.
Has anybody an idea?
Regards, Kerstin

Share the screenshot of the following directory :
NMSROOT\CSCOpx\campus\etc\cwsi
In case it is blank, try following :
1.Stop the services : net stop crmdmgtd
2.Take a copy of > C:/Progra~2/campus/etc/users and place it under C:/Progra~2/campus/etc/cwsi
3.Start the services : net start crmdmgtd
Please try and let me know the updates.
-Thanks

"The system cannot find the path specified" error

Hi, Thanks for taking the time and reading.
I had to update an old report that was made in CrystalReports. I copied the rpt files and pasted them into a csharp solution in VS 2010.
The report structure is of a Main report and 6 subreports. I have to run this Main report many times and feed it a different integer as a parameter.
I can preview the report in report viewer perfectly. When i try to export the main report into a pdf format
i get an exception. I have tried a few different formats and it spews the same error.
Oddly enough the export sometimes works if the report i am previewing has the "Save data in the report" check box checked. My guess is that this is cached. Also when i run just the subreports through my application, it works.
Things i have tried:
I installed: CRRuntime_64bit_13_0_13
I installed: CRforVS_13_0_13
Took a look at the Procmon and i could not find an access denied error
Event Viewer has no detail.
Changed Registry values of ConnectionDirectoryPath and ReportDirectoryPath to "c:\"
Code:
if (!Directory.Exists(filePath))
Directory.CreateDirectory(filePath);
string fileName = filePath + string.Format(GlobalVaraiables.FILE_SAVE_NAME, i);
cryRpt.SetParameterValue(GlobalVaraiables.FUND_DATA_KEY_PARAMETER, i.ToString());
cryRpt.ExportToDisk(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, fileName);

I don't see where you're ever setting the logons for the tables in the report and subreports. The reports with saved data are working because they already have data in them. The reports without saved data are not working because they don't know how to connect to the database.
See the Database section here Crystal Reports for .NET SDK Samples - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki for more information about how to set the logons.

Friends,
I'm facing below issue while accessing a crystal report. I heard it might be an access issue. But i'm able to access a report within a same folder.

Apply trace on RAS and look for errors in the RAS logs at the same timestamp.
These errors come for various errors and tracing RAS would give us a better idea.
It might hapen that you observe these errors for reports which takes more than the RAS timeout to export the reports.
Post getting the RAS logs you can try below steps if we see timeout errors in RAS logs.
Copy clientSDKOptions.xml file from <BO install path>\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\java\lib to the machine where your app is running Open clientSDKOptions.xml and change CORBARequestTimeOut from 600000 to a value large enough to allow the report to render, for instance 1200000. Default value is 600000 (10 minutes)
Specify the location of the clientSDKOptions.xml file at run-time. In your JSP or Java files, use the Java method setProperty from the System class. Set the system property indicated by the ras.config key to the specified directory as: system.setProperty("ras.config","c:\temp"). This function call specifies that the clientSDKOptions.xml file in c:\temp is to be used for locating RAS servers.

BOXI3.1: Error during migration -The system cannot find the path specified

Hi,
I'm trying to migrate my reporting server from BOXIR2 to BOXI3.1.
I have a Java App which uses the SDK to generate reports hosted on BOE.
I have updated the SDK and when i attempt to generate a very simple test report, i get this error:
The system cannot find the path specified.

---- Error code:-2147467259 Error code name:failed

Does anyone know the cause of the issue? Some guide on what to check will also be helpful! Thanks!

     ByteArrayInputStream aiStream = (ByteArrayInputStream)rptDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
     rptDoc.close();
I ran this against BOXIR2 and BOXI3.1, BOXI3.1 will still throw error at
ByteArrayInputStream aiStream = (ByteArrayInputStream)rptDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
Another question, will CI_INFOOBJECTS table be created in the DB during installation of BOXI?

Hi, Craig;
It sounds like you are running into this issue: [CitrixDrive|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%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233313337333933383338%7D.do]
You do not say which version of Crystal Reports you are using, so the registry key may be different for whichever version you have.

PrintOutputController::ExportEx - The system cannot find the path specified

I just converted our code from using an older Crystal Reports API for creating PDFs and print jobs (ExportToDisk() and PrintToPrinter()) to using the RAS methods. Now, when calling PrintOutputController::ExportEx(), occassionally the code generates an exception.
Our log file contains the following lines:
    calling ExportEx()...
ERROR: caught Exception in CreateReport():
      name: COMException
      message: The system cannot find the path specified.

    calling ExportEx()...
ERROR: caught Exception in CreateReport():
      name: CrystalReportsException
      message: The report filename was empty.
Here's the snippet of code that is occassionally generating the exception:
void
NReportFaxServiceImpl::createPDF(
    ReportDocument^ rpt,
    String^ destinationString)
...", destinationString);
    CrystalDecisions::ReportAppServer::ReportDefModel::ExportOptions^ exportOpts(gcnew CrystalDecisions::ReportAppServer::ReportDefModel::ExportOptions());
    // Set the ExportFormatType to PDF...
    exportOpts->ExportFormatType = CrystalDecisions::ReportAppServer::ReportDefModel::CrReportExportFormatEnum::crReportExportFormatPDF;
    Console::Write("    calling ExportEx()...");
    // This creates the report as a ByteArray that we will write to disk.
    CrystalDecisions::ReportAppServer::CommonObjectModel::ByteArray ^ byteArray = rpt->ReportClientDocument->PrintOutputController->ExportEx(exportOpts);
    Console::WriteLine("done.");
    cli::array<unsigned char, 1>^ oByte = byteArray->DetachArray();
    // Create the File...
    Console::Write("    creating the PDF file...");
    System::IO::File::Create(destinationString, Convert::ToInt32(oByte->Length))->Close();
    Console::Write("writing the PDF file...");
    System::IO::File::OpenWrite(destinationString)->Write(oByte, 0, Convert::ToInt32(oByte->Length));
    Console::Write("calling SetAttributes()...");
    System::IO::File::SetAttributes(destinationString, System::IO::FileAttributes::Directory);
    Console::WriteLine("done");
    GC::Collect();
We're running Crystal Reports 2008 SP4 on a Windows 2003 server (virtual server).

The only thing I can suggest is to try to add some additional logging to your application to see if you can see a pattern of which report/parameters are being used when this error is thrown.

CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hi,
I am currently developing an ASP.NET website using Visual Studio.NET 2005. I am using the .NET 2.0 framework, VB.NET as my programming language and I connect successfully to a SQL Server 2005 database. I can select, insert, update and delete data from the database elsewhere in my project, so I know basic connectivity isn't an issue. The problem seems to be with Crystal Reports.
I created a folder called 'Reports' in my project and added a Crystal Report file (OpenFiles.rpt) to it. I designed the report and initally used a hard-coded SQL query as its datasource so I could quickly get the database fields onto the report and preview them. All worked fine.
To make the report accessible to the rest of the website, I created an .xsd dataset file containing the three tables (and their corresponding tableadapters) that the report requires and then redeveloped the report using the dataset as the datasource for the report. After doing this, the preview no longer worked.
Next, I added a page to the website and dragged a Crystal Report Viewer Control onto it. In the code behind the page I wrote:

Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared

          Dim rptopenfiles As New ReportDocument
          rptOpenFiles.Load(reportPath) <== I checked this during execution and the value correctly points to the OpenFiles.rpt file in the Reports     folder of my project
          Dim ConnectionInfo As ConnectionInfo = New ConnectionInfo()
          ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = my database
          ConnectionInfo.UserID = login id of user
          ConnectionInfo.Password = user's password
          SetDBLogonForReport(ConnectionInfo, rptopenfiles)
          CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rptopenfiles
     End Sub
     Protected Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Init
         ConfigureCrystalReports()
     End Sub
     Private Sub SetDBLogonForReport(ByVal ConnectionInfo As ConnectionInfo, ByVal myReportDocument As ReportDocument)
          Dim myTables As Tables = myReportDocument.Database.Tables
          For Each myTable As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table In myTables
               Dim myTableLogonInfo As TableLogOnInfo = myTable.LogOnInfo
               myTableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = ConnectionInfo
               myTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(myTableLogonInfo)
          Next
     End Sub
End Class
I added a hyperlink to one of the existing pages on the website to navigate to this page with the report viewer on it. When I run the website in Visual Studio and click on the hyperlink I get the following:

Any ideas, anyone?
Also, assuming I can get past this error, I will need to figure out how to fill the tables in the .xsd dataset file. I have written a class for the dataset that includes functions that populate the tables in the dataset from the database by executing SQL queries. But how do I call these functions at the time the report is run?
This is my first Crystal report written in .NET and I've been struggling with it for days now. Any help would be most appreciated!
Thanks very much!

hello, the error message is obviously coming from one of the installed mcafee extensions. please directly contact mcafee technical support - they can likely give you more detailed guidance and are the only ones who can fix bugs or make necessary adjustments in the addon.

Getting ComException (0x80004005):The system cannot find the file specified

Our customer is getting an error from her remote location via the internet, running a report that has not changed in a year. None of our other customers are having this problem. When we sign in from our office with her credentials, we do not get the error. We've had her reboot, clear cache, etc. She has tried from Firefox and IE ... same result.
She is running WindowsXP and signs into our website VB program on a 2008Server under IIS aspx.net and SQL Server. We are using Crystal Reports 2008 v12.2.0.290 full.
The error is:
[COMException (0x80004005): The system cannot find the file specified.

Again, we have made no changes ... it has just stopped working for her, yet other remote users are creating the report just fine .... BUT, each has their own SQL database that the report is being created from. Any help??

I moved your post to the .NET - SAP Crystal Reports forum.
Only idea I have at this time is to get [Process Monitor|http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx] on this. You'll have to download it on to the server. Filter for the worker process so you limit the log size. Then have the customer attempt to load the report. Once she gets the error, you can save the log. Look for any errors re. load of files (DLLs, rpt files, etc.) and also look for "Access Denied" errors on files as well as registries.
