Crystal report scheduling

Hi
I am new to crystal reports. Can anybody tell me how to list all the crystal reports running in particular time in Central mangement console.?
I am using crystal reports 11.
Please suggest me how to list the reports..
Thanks..

Hi,
You can View all the scheduled reports in CMC > Instance Manager > Under Find Instances > select the next run time(start and stop time ) > Click on Find .
This will get all the report that are scheduled at that time.
Hope this helps

Crystal report scheduling error

Hello,
We are getting this error Intermittently, "login error. [CrystalEnterprise.DiskUnmanaged]: [Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.]" when we schedule crystal report to file location. I had checked the user name and password and access to the file location, they are fine. We have scheduled this report to run daily, but somedays it throws the above error and somedays it runs fine. Any ideas please?
Thanks,

Rakesh,
Issue has been resolved in below forum, please check

Crystal Report scheduling error in 3.0, intermittently!

Has anyone gotten this error while scheduling reports on 3.0? My client is experiencing very frustrating issue with cr2008 and xi3.0
When reports are schedule, sometimes they would get errors such as:
An error has occurred: The object with ID 234211, Title "Test Report", Kind "CrystalReport" has changed since last query (FWM 02050)
To replicate this, locate a report that has prompts (LOV). Go to InfoView and View the report on demand (or click on schedule) so it brings up the prompt page. Leave the prmopt page up, open another instance of InfOView or go to CMC, and schedule this report to run now. let it finish. the implication of this is that it will update the parent's last runtime property.
Then return back to the original browser (the one with the prompt page opened), click to select some of the prompts. it will error out while you are selectin the prompt
When we receive this error in Infoview, the java error when i "view source" is as follow;


Once the above issue happens a few times, the CrystalReportProcessing Server would lock up and users will start to experience this error:
Error - Unable to create report page
Once this happens no one is able to view the report again unless we restart the Crystal Report Processing Servers
has anyone experienced this?
thanks
Simon

Morning Simon,
The source doesn't seem to be showing any error message or explaining anything however the error FWM 02050 might say something. Have you searched the Wiki or Articles about this?
Personally I have not seen this type of error before however it seems that either the source or the layout of the report gets changed and hence it errors out as it does not match with the source.
For example, in the report maybe there is a dynamic parameter which gets changed occasionally or any other report object which has a source linked gets changed.
Does this happen only with one report or all the reports?
Does anyone change the reports?
How many dynamic or static params are there in the report?
How is the report connected (odbc or any other means?)
Does the server react like this with other reports as well?
Here is the list for error message from BO you might it find handy
[help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_error_message_guide_en.pdf]
I think we need to investigate first where the problem is generating from and then find out about this error.

Here what error given above says
The object with ID , Title "", Kind "" has changed since last query
(FWM 02050)
Cause
The required object has changed since the last query.
Action
Query the InfoObject again.
Maybe the end user is not query the report properly?

Crystal Reports scheduled in CMC Fails -Error: database connector error

Hi,
I am trying to schedule Crystal Report from the CMC. The report is created on top of InfoCube out of the SAP BI 7.0 server. On scheduling I am getting a particular error as u201CDatabase Connector Erroru201D.
Is there any way to troubleshoot this. Do we need to configure BW Publisher parameters for the new SAP BI7.0 server with BO Enterprise Server which is tried out recently?
All this processes work fine with the BW3.5 server for which I believe the configuration for the connection settings is already done.
Thanks,
Amogh

Hi Ingo,
The Crystal Report is built on top of InfOCube in SAP BI7.0 Server.Glad to tell you that the Reports do not give anymore while
scheduling in CMC. It was an authorization issue with my user id in SAP BI7.0 System which the BASIS has resolved now.
Referring to your question, somebody earlier suggested me that whenever BO Enterprise server needs to communicate with a new SAP BI Server we need to establish the connection through Universe Designer and test the connection and there is no other way create connection through the CMC.
If there is a better way, please suggest.
Thanks,
Amogh

How to supress prompt of database parameter in Crystal report schedule

Hi,
We are using Crystal Reports 2008. In a particular crystal report generated from some SAP WB query, has a parameter (prompt) on month. Now we need to schedule it for monthly execution. But we are still unable to manage the prompt for month automatically. We don,t have API license, so we can not use VBA .Net or Java programming.
Can we manage this database level prompt using Crystal Report formulas. Please suggest how can we manage this prompt so that it can be executed automatically according to schedule.
Thanks & Regards,
Avijit

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
But I know the logic that I need to assign the current month date value to the parameter supplied by BW query in the Crystal Report formula. And I tried to write a new formula using "BeforeReadingRecords" under Formula field. But this formula is not assigning any to the parameter and I am with no success.
Can you please mention how and where shoul I write the formula. Looking forward for you answer.

Avijit

Crystal Reports - scheduling best practice

Hello,
I would like to get some clarity on the best practice for scheduling Crystal Reports in a managed life cycle model. We are on XI 3.1 SP3.
We have public reports that are scheduled as recurring instances for different daily/monthly reports. Is it ideal that power-users schedule these reports in DEV and then when we move over objects to PROD have the schedule settings carried over? This way in PROD the same reports will have preserved schedule settings. However, what I would like to know is that for this to work I will need to migrate historical instances via Import Wizard which also would bring over any historical instances (with static Dev data) to Prod.
The other option is to move over just the report objects (schedule settings come over automatically) without the instances, which would mean users will have to set up similar recurring schedules in PROD again?
Thanks!

@Guru - so in that case what would the plan be for any future migration that happen from Dev to Prod for the same report(s)? When future migrations overwrite a report object, will the recurring schedule set up in Prod get affected, possibly disappear? Also, how would you recommend handling a situation where the same report has different scheduling properties in both environments -- how to avoid overwriting of schedule properties in Prod with those from Dev when migration the Crystal Report obejcts?
Thanks!

Crystal Reports scheduling disregard the default values and requires prompts to be answered every time.

Hi guys,
When scheduling a Crystal report, the page to configure the prompt answers does not have any prompts answered by default - they all appear as "[EMPTY]". This means that any required prompts must be answered during configuration of the alert schedule. Since prompt is required and the default value (which is equivalent to not answering the prompt) is not available in the selection list.
Is there any way around it?
Ideally I would like the prompts to keep the default values, so I could schedule the report for all the prompt answers (Whole list of value) instead of having at least one prompt value.
Is there any configuration in crystal reports or on database side that could help me resolve the issue.

First off, Thank you for your replies!
Rabeb SLIMANI, we can't use universes by user requirement. If we could, it would have to be through IDT (Information Design Tool) but, nonetheless, the users want a direct BICS connection between BEx and WebI.
Victor Gabriel Saiz Castillo, we can't do that because the users want to choose between accessing the published instances or refreshing the reports on demand.
The way i see it, it would take a second set of BEx query + WebI report to provide both functionalities (one for ready for input, another for not ready for input). Am I correct?
@Sathish Kumar (sorry, i can't tag you right), i was checking with the BW team and we already have the logic for If left null, populate with Customer Exits.
But they are currently mandatory, so we will change them to optional and test the behavior.
If you have any other ideas, they are more than welcome! I will keep you posted on the outcome!
Best regards,
Francisco

Crystal Reports Schedule&View

We're having an odd problem on our CR 9 server. After we login and drill into the report we want to run, if we click on "View" we're able to view the report without a problem, but if we click schedule and try to run it once, we get an instant "Failed" Status, like below. We can't seem to find any logs that would help use trouble shoot, so I thought I'd come here and ask the community!
Schedule Time:

Hello Jason,
Issue causes following considerations:
1. incorrect parameters
2. When we deploy a new report to the server we need to specify the Database Configuration in the Central Management Console.
3. the Crystal Report job server unable to communicate and perform the schedule task.
Thanks,
DJ

Crystal Reports Schedule using Batch File

Hi,
I am trying to automatically export Crystal Reports using a Batch file and Windows Task Scheduler. It sucessfully opens Crystal, but doesn't perform the export.
"C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Crystal Reports 11.5\crw32.exe" "C:\reportname.rpt" /X 36 /D 1 /FN "C:\report export name.xls"
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick

Hello,
Sorry but CR doesn't support command line running of reports. You can use Crystal Reports Server, Businessobjects Enterprise or some third party tool that uses Crystal runtime.
Thank you

Crystal Reports Schedule

Hi Guys, need opinion on how to schedule a Crystal reports report and send same out to 2 set of emails one gets that in Excel format and other gets that same out in PDF Format. In addition to that we have SMTP configured and working. thx, MAT.

Hi,
I'm guessing you are already using the Report Server. If the reports were going in the same format you would have just needed to schedule the report once and send it to both e-mails. Because you have two different formats you'll need to schedule the report twice, once for each format.
Hope this helps,
Brian

Crystal Report Scheduling Destination Options in Infoview

Hello,
I need some information on the CR scheduling Destination Options available:
The 9 options as per my understanding are:
1. Default Enterprise Location: If you select this option, the instance is saved to the default Business Objects Enterprise location, which is the Output File Repository Server (FRS).
2. Default Inbox: If you select this option, the instance is saved to the inboxes configured on the job server.
3. Default File Location: If you select this option, the instance is saved to the unmanaged disk location configured for the job server.
4. Default FTP Server: If you select this option, the instance is saved to the FTP server configured on the job server.
5. Default Email Recipients: If you select this option the instance is emailed to the email recipients configured on the job server.
6. Specific Inbox: If you select this option you can specify whose inboxes you want to save the instance to.
7. Specific File Location: If you select this option, the instance is saved to the saved to the file location you specify here.
8. Specific FTP Server: If you select this option, you can specify which FTP server you want to save the instance to.
9. Specific Email Recipients: If you select this option, you can specify who you want to email the instance to.
Among the above 9, I have problems with Specific File Location and Specific FTP Server. Can someone please let me know how I can configure my reports to use these two destination.

Hi
If the folder is on the local machine following setting should be configured in destination for Unmanaged Disk
Username:Localmachine hostname\username
password:password of the username.
Here the username would have "Full Control" or "Modify" rights over the drive where desired folder resides and that folder.
If the folder is on the remote machine following settings should be configured in the destination tab.
Username:DomainName\DomainUsername
Password:password of DomainUsername.
DomainUsername should also have "Modify" rights over the drive and the folder.
Is the desired folder present on the SAN drive?

How to hide Database Logon option when scheduling Crystal Report in BOE?

Hi All,
For security reason, we are try to hide the Database Logon option in Crystal Report Schedule page in InfoView.
There is option in CMC which we can configure the default Database logon option so that users do not have to enter the logon everytime they view or schedule the report. However, we are looking to hide this option completely.
Does anyone know if there is a security setting which can hide the option from specific users?
Thanks,
Bobby

Hi Bobby,
As Jorge informed that there is no method available within CMC to hide database logon option when scheduling or viewing a Crystal Report in the Info view. This is very much true.
But as you also mentioned that you don't want your users to enter the database logon credentials evertime they view or schedule a crystal report, there is one setting in CMC which we can do to avoid prompt for database logon credentials.
CMC - Home - Go to that specific crystal report - Click Process tab - Click the sub-tab 'Database' and at the bottom of the page there is an option "Use same database logon as when report is run". Check this option after providing the database credentials and click UPDATE.
Now whenever users try to view or schedule this specifc crystal report they won't be prompted for the database logon credentials.
Regards,
Venkat

Opening HyperLinked Files contained in a database field Automatically alongwith Crystal Report

Hi
I am using Crystal Report 2008. We have a database table which has Bill of Material for all the parts, the table also has additional field which contains LINK to PDF File (i.e. c:\PDFFiles\XPart.PDF) which is containing Part specifications. Now i am able to create a Hyperlink from this field and user is able to click on the field to open the file.
Is there a way, that all the associated linked files open automatically whenever a user previews this report.Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Shekhar

You can achieve the desired behavior by adding a UFL (User unction library) that includes a function for triggering and passing parameters ot a different process.
At least one of the 3rd-party UFLs listed at Crystal Reports viewer comparison, Crystal Reports scheduler comparison and other utilities ( viewer and scheduler compa… provides such a function.
You would then be able to add Crystal formulas that result in opening linked documents as a byproduct of previewing the report.

Crystal Reports Export to PDF and Security

I am writing a PC application in VB.Net (using Visual Studio 2005 and which ever Crystal Reports package comes with it) which utilizes Crystal Reports and exports the reports to PDF files. My company creates other PDFs through other programs and is able to set different security options on those PDFs to prevent users from being able to edit them in Adobe Acrobat. I believe this involves setting a password and a few other options. Is there a way to do this when creating a PDF by exporting to PDF a Crystal Report?
Any help or advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Could you provide me a link and/or more informationa bout this Crystal Reports Scheduler? I have another issue I'm trying to take care of and I'm wondering if this could help me. I use the Crystal Reports that comes with Visual Studio 2008 to build my reports and then turn them into PDFs. However these PDFs are not [section 508|http://www.section508.gov/|Section508.gov] compliant. I need to add [tagging|http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/what-are-pdf-tags-and-why-should-i-care|What are PDF tags and why should I care] to the PDFs. Do you know if the component you mentioned can do this? Or of any other product that can?
[This|Export to PDF - Section 508 Accessibility Compliance; is the thread my other question is on.
I'd appreciate any information you could give me.
