  • Crystal Report Server XI R2 - Upgrade MySQL to 5.0 or 5.1?

    Although SP4 for Crystal Report Server XI R2 contains mySQL v 4.1.23, there are security vulnerabilities which are only addressed in 4.1.24 and 4.1.25.  These versions are not in release in binary form from mysql.com, as 4.1 is no longer supported.
    To address the security vulnerabilities, an update of mySQL to 5.0 or 5,1 may be required, but a straight upgrade from 4.1 to either of these versions does not seem to work - CMS cannot connect to the new database version.
    Can anyone provide some guidance on how to patch mySQL from 4.1 to 5.0 or 5.1 for Crystal Report Server XI R2, or whether there is another way of addressing the security vulnerabilities in 4.1.23?
    Thanks
    Paul

    Answered my own question.  Managed to upgrade to 5.0 following this process, but follow these instructions with care...
    1.  Stop all CMS services in Config Manager.
    2. Go to Add/Remove programs and click "change" for Crystal Reports Server XI.  Click on "Modify" then change the entry for MySQL4.1.13a to "Entire Feature will be unavailable" (from Enterprise -> Server Components -> Servers - > Central Management Server).  This will remove the existing mySQL version and any data/license key information/customisation, so be wary.
    3. Install the desired version of mySQL.
    4. Use the MySql command line to create a new database - "create DATABASE BOE115;"
    5. In the Central Config Manager, select the CMS and display its properties.  Select the Dependencies tab and remove the old version of mySQL and add the new version.  Click on the Config tab, then Select Datasource.  Select mySQL driver, then complete the details for the newly created database.  Once complete it will still produce an error, at which point you need to select the options to Re-create the Current Datasource.
    6. Once the datasource is sucessfully recreated, restart the Crystal service in the Config Manager.
    7. Open the Config tool, and add your license key. Then Re-Enable all the servers within the Servers page.
    8.  Any other customisation or preferences would need to be re-applied.
    This worked for me, but obviously take care as your existing mySQL database will be completely removed during the process.

  • Crystal Reports Server XI upgrade to Crystal Reports Server 2008

    I have downloaded the Crystal Reports Server 2008 upgrade from the portal.  Questions:
    The "Upgrading Your Crystal Reports Server Delpoyment from XI or XI Relase 2 to Crystal Rpeorts Server 2008" (simple install) documentation mentions that the installer should recognize my installation and prompt to upgrade.  Instead, the first prompt that I get is for a license key.  Is this normal, or should the application be seeing my existing install?
    If I do indeed need a 2008 license key, how do I obtain one?  It will not accept may CRXI Server keys, and I cannot see anyplace to download the new keys.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Jeff

    Hi,
    I think you can request for new keys:
    For a new key:
    Request key codes for new orders via SAP Marketplace (SMP), will receive a download letter on new purchases providing them with their SMP login credentials. Using these credentials you can login and click in the "Keys & Requests" tab > Request a License key.
    If your Key code does not work
    You need create a customer message https://websmp107.sap-ag.de/message using component XX-SER-LIKEY-BOJ.

  • Upgrading from CR 10 Embedded Edition to Crystal Reports (server) xi

    We recently upgraded from CR10 Embedded edition to Crystal Reports Server Xi. In our application the users access the reports via a web page (where they enter the paratemeters) and the report is displayed using the Crystal Reports viewer. The CR server xi was recently installed and all the SDK references have been as mentioned in this document: https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/724. But now when the reports are accessed via the web page we are encountering the error 'All of your system's 0 Concurrent Access Licenses are in use at this time or your system's license key has expired. Try again later or contact your administrator to obtain additional licenses.---- Error code:-2147217397 Error code name:enterpriseLogonFailed'
    Can anyone share your thoughts or provide suggestions?

    Hello SG,
    A common issue that arises when migrating from Crystal Enterprise 10 Embedded to Crystal Reports Server XI applications that use the Report Application Server (RAS) SDK.
    The RAS supports two modes of operation - "Unmanaged" and "Managed" reporting.
    With CE10Embedded, you'd be using Unmanaged Reporting, where you'd copy the Crystal Report rpt file to the RAS server, and reference it by path when opening it in the ReportClientDocument class instance.
    With Crystal Reports Server XI, you can use either Unmanaged Reporting, or Managed Reporting.  Managed means you'd publish the rpt file to be "managed" by the CR Server Central Management Server (CMS).  In code, you'd log onto the CR Server, retrieve the ReportAppFactory from the CMS, retrieve the report from the InfoStore, and pass it into the ReportAppFactory to create the ReportClientDocument.
    I'm assuming you're still using "Unmanaged Reporting" with Crystal Reports Server.
    If so, each report request will be authenticated in the CMS using the "Guest" account, and each request will use up a Concurrent Access License (CAL).
    If you're getting the exception on the first report request, then that likely means you have the complimentary copy of CR Server XI, that comes with zero CALs and five Named User Licenses.
    You won't be able to use unmanaged reporting with the complimentary version.  You may want to modify your code to use managed reporting.
    If you're getting the exception on the sixth or subsequent request, then that likely means you've purchased CR Server XI, and the base edition comes with 5 CALs.
    If you contact sales, you can inform them of the number of users you have, and how frequently they request reports, and sales can recommend a license to match your requirements.
    Sincerely,
    Ted Ueda

  • Crystal Report Server XIR2 upgrade to CRS 2008V1

    Hi,
    I am planning to upgrade my Crystal Report Server XI R2 to CRS 2008 V1. I was thinking of testing in separate machine as a fresh installation and migrating everything using the Import Wizard. I have one concern on this- after I test everything on that new machine, the existing Crystal Production Server machine will no longer be used right? I was wondering if my boss wants me to use the same old machine for production. If so then would I be able to migrate everything from that new test machine to the existing Production machine without affecting the old version in production. For that do I have to install a fresh copy in existing production and then migrate from test machine?

    Hi,
    well you will certainly affect the old version in production.
    Cause when you initially migrated from Rel.2 to 2008 you cant go back. So unfortunalty you have to install 2008 on the old server.
    Regards
    -Seb.

  • Crystal Report Server XI R2 SP2 for Linux??

    HelloTrying to get Crystal Report Server XI R2 on Linux working, I have downloaded the latest eval version that I could find aka "crsxir2linuxdisc1.tar.gz" and  "crsxir2linuxdisc2.tar.gz" and plugged in the XI R2 Eval Code.In theory I should be able to use my Crystal XI license code to license R2... but the Server does not accept the XI license code.Is it just me or is Crystal Server Patching REALLY confusing or what.... There doesn't seem to be a clear place to download anything later than the XI R2 shipping code for Crystal Server either for Windows or for Linux.  The latest version of Developer is easy to find.... what about Crystal Server?

  • Upgrading from Crystal Reports Server V0 to V1

    We're looking into upgrading Crystal Reports Server V0 to V1.  According to the upgrade guide we have to do a complete uninstall of our V0 before installing V1.  It seems risky to uninstall before we have a working version of the upgrade.  Wondering if anyone out there has gone through this process and if so what were your experiences?  Did you have a method to test the upgrade process before uninstalling V0?
    Thanks!

  • CRRuntime_12_0.msm and Crystal Reports Server X1 R2 SP2

    I have installed an app onto a server with the CRRuntime merge module in the project setup file. Although I have removed the app no .NET app which loads a crystal report will run on the server. Is there a conflict between the CRRuntime and the Crystal Reports Server please?
    I cannot see any evidence of the runtime remaining on the server but would appreciate any comments.
    Many thanks
    Ian Carr

    Hi Ian,
    Likely what has happened when you un-installed is the Microsoft Installer did not completely remove all our references in the registry. CR Server is possibly looking for the CR 12 folders which no longer exist.
    Try doing a repair install from Add/Remove Programs for CRS.
    You could search the registry for any CR 12 key's but I don't recommend removing them. Repairing should put 11.5 first in the list and should resolve the problem.
    Thank you
    Don

  • Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1 - fix pack and service pack installation

    I'm currently running Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1 - 12.2.0.290.   I think this is SP2.   I saw both SP3 and FP 3.1 available to download, but am not sure if I need both.   Do I need to install SP3, then install the FP 3.1?   The website doesn't appear to provide clear instructions on this.

    Yes you need to upgrade to SP 3 and then you can Upgrade to FP 3.1.
    The SP usually are major releas of the product when the FP are minor fix of the SP.

  • Crystal Reports Server XI R2 - RAS service will not start

    We had a copy of Crystal Reports Server XI R2 running on a Windows 2003 SBS Server and the database running on SQL Server 2000 on the same box. We were forced to upgrade this server Windows 2003 SBS Server 2003 R2 with SQL Server 2005. The upgrade worked fine however after the upgrade we could no longer open reports in infoview.
    We soon realised that the RAS(Report Application Server) service was stopped however we could not start it.
    We tried doing a full uninstall(deleting the directory and registry info) and reinstall several times on the same server pointing to the existing database and trying to create a new database in both MYSql and SQL Server but again the same problem. While our licensing agreement means we can only install it on one server we tried on another and again we had the same issue.
    We see several errors in the event viewer of the server, these are:
    -Unable to create the Corba OSCA factory and register it on the eBus (Source:BusinessObjects_crystalras)
    -Failed to register with the CMS 'Server Name'. Please make sure the CMS is up and running. Attempting an automatic retry. (Source: We see this error show on a fair few of the service after stopping and firing up services, but they seem to disappear)
    -An error occurred while creating a Page Server subprocess.(Source: BusinessObjects_pageserver)
    If I try firing the crystalras executable just for interest sakes I get a "No valid license found for this product" error.
    We thought it may have been a license issue caused by the upgrade but have been told that the license key still appears to be valid.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hey did anyone ever answer your question, I have exactly the same problem 4 years later, sigh

  • Report fails to generate on Crystal Reports Server

    Post Author: cmilkosk
    CA Forum: General
    Hello all!
    I have a case open with BO on generating a report from a Crystal Reports Server (CRS).  The report works fine when running in Crystal Reports on my PC, but after I send it to the Crystal Reports Server, it fails with a message like:"Failed to open the connection.
    C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\Data\procSched\metrixdb.reportjobserver\~tmp9bc512965895e0.rpt"This error appears to be telling you that it is trying to connect to
    the CRS's reportjobserver process and having a problem, but the service is up according to the Central Config Manager. I tried starting and stopping it, but it didn't make a difference.  This happens for different reports sent to the server.  One common thing that I've noticed is that the reports that connect to the CRS's local SQL Server 2005 database are the ones that are failing.  So, my CRS resides on the same host as the SQL Server 2005 database (which also houses the CRS SQL DB).  Interestingly, reports scheduled that connect to a remote SQL Server 2000 database work fine.  It could be the simplest report that I am running off of the CRS/SQL Server 2005 host, and it still fails every time. Tech support so far hasn't been much of a help. They suggested that I upgrade my Crystal Reports software on my PC to R2, but that didn't fix the problem.Has anyone had any trouble like this before?  If so, have you found out what the cause was?I'm beginning to wonder if it is related to SQL Server 2005 or potentially just that it is connecting to a local database.Note - my CRS's software version appears to be 11.5.3.438.  I'm not sure if I am running CRS R1 or R2 (how can you tell?).Anyone have any ideas?Thanks,Chris

    Ajit,
      By design, the product is not able to be installed under the superuser account.
    1.  Create a new user and specify a home directory for the user without a quota set.
    2.  Copy or move the installation files to a directory that the new user can read.  I suggest you move the installation files directly into the new user's home directory.
    3.  Logon as the new user (or su - newuser)
    4.  run the installation shell script using that new user's account.
    NOTE:  Ensure the system meets the requirements from the supported platforms documents.

Go to Add/Remove programs and click "change" for Crystal Reports Server XI.  Click on "Modify" then change the entry for MySQL4.1.13a to "Entire Feature will be unavailable" (from Enterprise -> Server Components -> Servers - > Central Management Server).  This will remove the existing mySQL version and any data/license key information/customisation, so be wary.
    3. Install the desired version of mySQL.
    4. Use the MySql command line to create a new database - "create DATABASE BOE115;"
    5. In the Central Config Manager, select the CMS and display its properties.  Select the Dependencies tab and remove the old version of mySQL and add the new version.  Click on the Config tab, then Select Datasource.  Select mySQL driver, then complete the details for the newly created database.  Once complete it will still produce an error, at which point you need to select the options to Re-create the Current Datasource.
    6. Once the datasource is sucessfully recreated, restart the Crystal service in the Config Manager.
    7. Open the Config tool, and add your license key. Then Re-Enable all the servers within the Servers page.
    8.  Any other customisation or preferences would need to be re-applied.
    This worked for me, but obviously take care as your existing mySQL database will be completely removed during the process.

  • Migrating all configuration  from Crystal Reports Server XI R2 to Crystal Server 2013

    Hi,
    We're running an old Crystal Reports Server XI R2 SP version (boe 11.5)  and we're planning to start using Crystal Server 2013
    As far as I know no upgrade is possible and that's not needed either.
    Instead I'm interested in the migrate possibilities. I saw this thread but it doesn't answer all the questions https://scn.sap.com/thread/3462417
    So first I will install Crystal Server 2013 on a new server and then I use some migrate tool.
    Questions:
    - does the migrate tool support migrating from my version CR server XI R2 SP1  to  Crystal Server 2013 ?
    - does the migrate tool copy all report schduling information (recurring schedule, destination etc)? We have ~1000 scheduled reports so doing manually is not an option
    - does the migrate tool copy Business views/Business view connections ?
    (- odbc data sources are probably not copied but that's ok)

    Hi Mikael,
    Since you're already on CR Server XI R2, you can use the Upgrade Management Tool to migrate all the content to CR Server 2013.
    Anwers to your questions:
    1) Yes, the Upgrade Management Tool does support this kind of migration
    2) It does seem that the UMT allows you to move all report instances as well as the scheduled jobs over to the new server
    3) I've always had issues with Business Views when using Import Wizard however I'm not sure whether they work well with the new UMT. In any case, I always prefer to export the LOVs and BVs from within the Business View Manager to a .xml file and then import them in the higher version of the Server, again, from within the Business View Manager.

  • Column level access in Crystal Report Server

    <p>Hi,</p><p>I have three fields in my Crystal Report. The crystal report will be exported to PDF by my customised web application. The application has a built in user security and access control model. However if user 1 logs in he should see all the 3 columns(database fields) on the exported PDF. If user 2 logs in he should see only first 2 columns as he has access to only those. We would also be using Crystal Report Server.</p><p>I know this could be done in Crystal Report itself but is there any way to leverage column level access (and also row level) functionality using Crystal Report Server. The Crystal Report reports off an ODBC Datasource.</p><p>It would be great if any one could help me in this regard.</p><p> Cheers. </p><p>&#160;</p>

    If you were running the same version designer and server, you could open your reports straight from the repository, and save them straight back. Then you wouldnt have multiple versions of RPTs flying about.
    I have just purchased a new licence for 2008 and an 2008 upgrade for a Xr2.
    I don't think I completely understand, but we do have Crystal Reports 2008 and Crystal Reports Server 2008 available for purchase.
