Error while trying to save a crystal report via the Add-ins

Hi All,
I'm getting an error while trying to save the crystal report after I have opened it from the SAP.
When I'm trying to save the report via the Add-ins I'm getting the next error :

How to Save/Transport Crystal Reports 2013 reports in ECC (not BW)

Hi,
we are using Crystal Report 2013 and have reports which are based on ALV´s and SAP Tables directly.
I want to know if it´s possible to save the reports directly in the ECC system, with transport connection etc. and maybe the possibility to translate the reports later in another language.
I know the way when we have reports based on a BW system, there it is really easy and integrated.
But in this case we are on a normal ECC System, not a BW Enviroment.
At the moment we have the report rpt files locally.
Has someone already done this and or knows a tutorial what steps are to do? (connection, package, roles)
Kindly regards
Max

Hi Max,

Crystal 10 RDC Save Copy of Report opened by the Viewer

Anyone know the setting in the RDC that will allow me to save a copy of the report that is being opened by the viewer? Years ago I used this for troubleshooting reports where we were dynamically setting the datasource paths. When a report was opened in the Crystal Viewer it would save a copy of Report.RPT to a specified directory after setting the datasource paths and if any path issues occured and the report errored out we could open the copy (Report.RPT file) and see what the datasource paths were changed to when the report was opened and figure out if they were set correctly or not. I can't find the setting I used before.

There are two ways of saving a loaded report;
1) Export to rpt
2) report.saveAs
Both should give you the info you're looking foe.

Crystal 2011 prompts on adhoc reports dont show up in BOBJ 4.0

Hi All,
I have two issues with crystal report 2011 via BI launch pad BOBJ 4.0
1. We created crystal reports 2011 on Bex query with some filters and promots and schedule the reports but when we try to open the report and referesh through BI launch pad in BOBJ 4.0 , it does not show any prompts associates with it. Note that report is published and scheduled.
But when I save the same report on my local network drive and open it, all the associated promots shows up.
I am sure it is not crystal report interface issue or BOBJ application it self or may be some kind of authorization but considering the fact that we can see the propmpts when report is saved locally on te network drive..
2. We have created a project and addedd multiple reports in Crystal reports 2011 and then published and scheduled it. We schedule the reports to go to users via email in excel format but it sends only one report (one attachment) per email, I like to send multiple attachments in one email. How could I achieve this.
Your help and advice will be appreciated.

Hi,
1. i'd recommend having a seperate BW for BI4 purposes. If anything, it makes management of integration TRANSPORTs much easier, given that you can only have 1 version active..
(yes, although there's no SAP IK Kit, transports are still imported into backend)
2. OLAP BAPI access is still there in BI4.0, namely for the CR 2011 tool with BW MDX Driver , and for Webi documents using the legacy Universe Design Tool OLAP.unv file.
the new OLAP data access driver for SAP in BI4.0 is the BW's BI Consumer Service (BICS API). The function modules for this are generally called: BICS_PROV_GET*
3. No hurdle at all. You can migrate your content as-is without fear of change. that's principally why the CR 2011 client is there for the 4.0 RTC - for adoption and onboarding. That legacy CR client technology is wholy unchanged, apart from .xlsx support and a 'read only' save mode.
the Crystal for Enterprise product is still playing catch up. It hasn't got all (any) of the direct drivers you would expect from crystal, but it can consume the new .unx common semantic layer and the BICS jco driver (neither of which the CR2011 product can)
... as of 4.1 (Q1 2012) the fit-gap in features is answered. i.e. they've all been fwd ported.
i hope this helps

Upgrade from crystal report 4 to crystal report 11

hi,i have an old application developed use vb5.0 and crystal report 4,
now i want to upgrade it to vb6.0 and cystall report 11, does the cystal report 4 and 11 are compatiable?

Hello,
Crystal Report 4.6 reports are pretty old. There have been 3 or 4 major code rewrites to Crystal Reports between CR 4.6 to CR XI. I think your CR 4.6 reports will run from CR XI but I can't be sure. I haven't seen CR 4.6 in quite a few years and have never tested it. You will probably want to update the old reports to CR XI. To update the reports open them in CR XI and save them in the CR XI format. Please be sure to keep back up copies of the original CR 4.6 reports.
Your VB application will have to be migrated to a different component. The Crystal OCX (crystl32.ocx) that was available in CR 4.6 was retired after CR8.5. In order to run your CR XI reports you'll need to migrate your VB6 application to the Report Designer Component (RDC) object model.
There are a number of documents that will help you with the code migration. Here are some links:
[Migrating to the RDC in CR9|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/105181db-cb1d-2b10-38a4-b0a30e268e40] - applies to CR 9/10/11/11.5
Upgrading from CR4.6 to CR9/10/11/11.5 is essentially the same. The above document was written for CR9 specifically; however it will work for CR10/11/11.5. You will have to make minor adjustments to account for DLL file name changes (e.g. crviewer9.dll in CR9 vs. crviewer.dll in CR10/11/11.5).
You will also want to review the changes to [database connectivity|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/0003c6cc-891e-2b10-678e-8b1a2dd96556] at runtime from earlier versions of Crystal Reports compared to CR XI.
Here's the link to the [Online SDK Library|https://boc.sdn.sap.com/developer/library] - this includes the RDC SDK.
[RDC 10 Sample Applications|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006012702008E/rdc10_smpl.exe].
Please note that the RDC has been retired with the release of Crystal Reports 2008. Crystal Reports XI Release 2 (v11.5) is the last version of Crystal Reports that is shipping with the RDC. While you can migrate your application to the RDC for CR XI or CR XI R2 you may want to start planning for future releases of your application since the RDC will no longer be available. The upgrade path for the RDC is to move to the CR .NET object model. Here is the [RDC Statement of Direction|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/80bd35e5-c71d-2b10-4593-d09907d95289].
I hope this help.

Upgrade from Crystal report 8 to Crystal report 2013

Dear all,
Need some information pertaining to upgrade of Crystal report 8 to Crystal report 2013 (to be invoked from thick client .NET applications)
Is it possible to directly upgrade from 8 to 2013 ? Or should there be a move to intermediate version before going to 2013 ?
How is the upgrade generally done ? (do we just open the report and save in new version, or do they have any upgrade wizard)
What are the typical issues we may face while going from lower version to higher version (I understand queries may break, format and layout may change. Are there any other issues specific to upgradation.
Regards,
Jain

Hi Jain,
Moved your post to .NET Forums.
Since CR 8.0 is 12 or more years old there is no "upgrade path" now. The Database drivers have all changed and the Parameter API's have also.
Best way is to get CR 2011 and manually open each and every report and update the DB connection using the Set Table Location, this requires updating the DB Client to current versions also.
Note there are some old legacy DB sources no longer available so that can be a problem also.
CR 8 is not Side By Side compatible with any other version so make sure it's not installed on the same PC. It will never work and cause all sorts of problems for you.
Basic report layout stayed the same but Printing has changed a lot also so search here, lots of post on the subject.
For more help need to know your data source also?
And check the Overview Tab, on the left side, lots of resources and samples to get you started.
Also, first warning is set your project to X86 and the full Framework, do not use the Client version.
And the SDK is no longer shipped with CR Designer install, VS installer and redist packages are all available from here:

Does end user need Crystal Reports to run saved reports

This seems like such a simple question, but I am unable to find the answer in the documentation, so here it goes.
On UCCX does end user need Crystal Reports to run save custom reports that were created using Crystal Reports

Hi
No, UCCX comes with the 'Historical Reporting Client' which contains a Crystal runtime that renders the reports.
You only need Crystal Pro if you wish to author new reports for the system.

Report works in Crystal Reports, but not when scheduled in Crystal Server

Hi,
I have a pretty simple report designed in Crystal Reports 2008. Basically it shows a list of call notes (memo field) from customer activities in our CRM system. The report works fine in Crystal reports, but when run or scheduled in Crystal Server 2008 the output is always blank. Furthermore, the page format etc. is "lost" in crystal server, so that the output is PDF of a quadratic blank sheet (not my standard A4 format)... Exporting to other formats - excel, Word etc. all gives the same result.
I have tried to strip out various formulas, formatting etc from the report, but nothing helps. Which leads me to thinking that the real problem is that the report contains a memo field? Anyone else had this problem?

Hi Claus,
I've had issues between what Crystal does and what the Report Server does. To resolve this, we found out Crystal Reports 2008 latest service pack has some things that will fix Server 2008 and they aren't in the latest Server update.
We updated Crystal Reports 2008 on our machines. Installed the latest update for Crystal Server and then installed Crystal 2008 on the Report Server and installed the Crystal Reports 2008 update. A lot of our compatibility issues went away after that.
Good luck,
Brian

Views on CF Report Builder and Crystal Report

Dear all,
I would like to get your opinions on CF Report Builder and
Crystal Report.
As we all know, CF Report Builder is a new reporting tool.
But I find it very difficult to design a complex report maybe due
to limitation in its functionalities. Sometimes the tool shutdowns
by itself without any warning and reason. But the output is nicely
presented on a flash paper / pdf and it can be run on non-MS
platforms.
On the other hand, Crystal Report is a more matured product
but runs only on MS platform. It is very easy to use and very
powerful. I have been using it for almost 10 years. But the output
is not nicely presented on the web browser unless if we purchase
Crystal Report Enterprise to generate the report which is very
costly.
Can you all share your views? I need to make decision which
tool(s) to use. Really appreciate it.
Cheers,
Keiko

Hi Keiko,
Yes, CF Report builder is new and initially there was few
issues with this. But I guess now it's good after hotfixes.
Well, I am using CF Report Builder. It's good for me. You can
also design and develop complex reports, that depends upon the
query you are writing. You can also add subreports to your main
reports.
Mainly CF Report is platform independent and you can also
generate reports in PDF, EXCEL and FlashPaper.
Crystal Report is no doubt is very good, and it's there for
long years. I agree you can create complex reports with this, but
you also can do the same in CF also. You are using this for last 10
years, so I guess you should try something new and that is CF
Report Builder and you can judge then.
I am sure you will have fun with CF.
Thanks

Crystal Report Hyperlink to Sub-report or other report

Hi,
I would like to create a report on which the first part will show project summary page. The second part will have all project detail pages and third part with all project financial informations.
The report should work in such a way whenever user clicks on any project at first summary page this has to jump to corresponding detail page of projects.
I have the following question regarding design of this report.
1. Do I need to create a saparate report as a sub report and then merge with main report in a footer section? Or is it ok to create sub-report within main report through sub-report wizard option?
2. How can I establish hyperlink between the pages i.e. summary to detail pages?
3. back hyperlink to first pages.
I am expecting more information about hyperlink options within Crystal report.
Thanks
-Sunil Prasad

Hi Sunil
- For your first question: . Do I need to create a saparate report as a sub report and then merge with main report in a footer section? Or is it ok to create sub-report within main report through sub-report wizard option?
You can create a separate report and then insert it as a subreport in the main report or create it with sub report wizard.
Once you click on Insert -> Subreport, you can see there are two options, one is to point to an existing report and another is to create it through wizard.
- 2. How can I establish hyperlink between the pages i.e. summary to detail pages?
You can use the hyperlink between report objects. Also you can apply a customized formula for this.
Check the below SAP Notes:

Stock valuation Report problem in crystal

Hello
I have created Stock Valuation report on crystal & give parameter For Selection 'from Date' To 'To DATE'
I maintain 'On Hand' field for quantity available in between selected period
But Suppose I have Item code 'X01' having actual balnce qty 67 between 1 Jully 2011 To 31 jully 2011 when i run the
report by same date it display 67 qty it right but the Item 'X01' Sold out 5 Qty on date 2 Augst and i again run the report
between date 1 Jully 2011 and 31 jully 2011 it Show 62 qty but upto 31st Jully i have 67 Qty remaining but it show 62 this is wrong
so how i brought 67 qty upto 31 Jully in Crystal Report
In Inventory audit Report it show perfect qty on date selection but i want right value in my crystal report

Hi,
The on hand balance is dynamic. You can not get it from any table for historical balance.
You have to create a temporary table to calculate from day one of inventory transaction for the item.
Thanks,

Is it possible to programmatically replace a Sub Report in a crystal report

We create crystal reports via the crystal report designer (not in any IDE) , and attach the reports directly to the database via stored procedures. Each report contains a page header and a page footer with patient demographic data. We distribute these reports to our customers and they may edit the templates and alter the page header and page footers specific to their needs.
We are looking at using sub reports to build a "model" page header and page footer that would be inserted into each template at design time. What we would like to do is allow the customers to create their own sup reports to contain their custom page header / page footer and then programmatically replace the " model" sub reports with the custom sub reports. Please note that these sub reports would not contain any data access and would not be linked to the main report, rather the main report would assign the data that is displayed in the page header/page footer data to shared variables, and the sub reports would use the shared variables as their data source to display the data.
Is it possible to programmatically replace 1 sub report with another ? If so are there any code snippets to review -

Yes it is. Submit your post to which ever SDK you are using into the Developer forums. But search the posts first and look in our samples. This is relatively easy to do.
Thank you
Don
