Crystal Report Server XI Report recurring instances do not work. Logs?

I have scheduled a report to be run every morning, and each instance return status is "success". However, I encountered the following problem when I try to view instances of the report: There is a long time period of waiting (seems to be waiting for some kind of timeout), and then eventually the message: "A request was cancelled. The necessary security privileges could not be verified. This indicates a problem with the security server."
I also noticed that in event viewer (windows server 2003) I see many failure audits to login to the sql database, and the events contain the login used in my data source.
It's interesting to note, that when I run a single instance of the report "Now" there is no problem.
Some info about the report which may be relevant:
The report uses 2 formula fields to auto-parameterize 2 of the 5 parameters used by a subreport. The other 3 subreport parameters are set when scheduling the report.
The subreport uses a call into a stored procedure in a MS SQL server 2005 database to retrieve its records.
The 2 fields which are parameterized are datetime fields (StartTime, EndTime), and the main report is basically just a wrapper to only show the previous day.
JDBC data source to local Sql server instance.
Also, the crystal report server XI install uses the same sql server instance to store CMS data under a separate database.
I'm stumped on this.
Has anybody encountered this problem?
Is there a simpler way to auto-parameterize the report?
Why are the failure audits occurring when I view the instance of the report? Is this because the instance is setup to use RPT output format?
Are there logs I can look into aside from event viewer? I can't find anything that looks relevant under program files, but perhaps I missed something.
The failure audits would make more sense to me if it occurred with the other report instances, but some instances are shown correctly, and some just do this timeout thing.

Thank you for your understanding,

Oracle Reports Server CGI - Report Job was cancelled upon user request.

I am running reports on the web through Forms using Run_Report_Object built in. I am using Oracle 9iAS Enterprise Edition Release 1(1.2.2.2.2), Forms 6i Patch 9 (6.0.8.18.3) and Reports 6i Patch 9 (6.0.8.18) using CGI implementation. Most reports are running fine, but I have one that produces 125 pages and we are getting the following messages in the browser:
Error: The requested URL was not found, or cannot be served at this time.
Oracle Reports Server CGI - Report Job was cancelled upon user request.
However if you look at the Reports Server Queue Status thru the browser it shows that the report did finish, but it took 16 minutes. But the user gets the above message in their browser window.
Is there a way to get the first page of the report to display, while the rest of the report finishes, so the browser window doesn't timeout and display the above error?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hi ,
There is no limit on the report run time. The most probable reason why you are getting the 'Report cancelled upon user request' message is the users might have hit the "cancel Report" button which is displayed when it is running in 'SYNCHRONOUS MODE'. do not hit that button as it will terminate the report. to increase the speed of returning the results by the report, try improving the sql that you use in the report, or if you have DBA rights try adding in INDEXES on the columns of the tables used by the report.
Hope this helps

Please help ! "Oracle Reports Server CGI - Reports Server name is not specified."

Hello Gurus,
I have an html form that allows putting in a parameter. Upon
submit the form, it'll pass a string URL with the parameter to a
new browser.
My url: http://localhost/servlet/oracle.reports.rwcgi.RWServlet?
diary&14252
I also used keymap looks like this
diary: report=Diary.rdf server=servername desformat=pdf
destype=cache userid=id/psswd@db myoid=%1 %*
But I get an Error: The requested URL was not found, or cannot
be served at this time. Oracle Reports Server CGI - Reports
Server name is not specified.
However, if I move the cursor to the end of the same url (or put
a space at the end) and hit Enter, then the report is
displayed. I guess there must be something wrong with my
configuration. Please help. I appreciated any inputs from you.
Thanks in advance.
Ashley

I found the solution to my problem. It was nothing to do with
the cgicmd.dat keymap file, but the html form itself. It's
confused between the url arguments and form arguments from the
submit button. So, what I did was open a new window with all
arguments instead of using the submit function.

Ashley

Windows Server 2012 - Printing using UNC path not working

Hi,
I have a problem printing using the printer's UNC path ("\\Server_Name\Printer_Hostname") to work with a web
app hosted on IIS 8. With a windows forms application the UNC path is working fine and the app prints.
With
the web app I receive an error "The data area passed to a system call is tool small".
Also,
in the event viewer under Applications and Services Logs -> Microsoft -> PrintService -> Operational, I receive the error "The print spooler failed to reopen an existing printer connection because it could not read the configuration information
from the registry key S-1-5-82-1980832875-2702362896-1795126167-3622310632-1152289074\Printers\Connections. The print spooler could not open the registry key. This can occur if the registry key is corrupt or missing, or if the registry recently became unavailable."

I have contacted IIS forum support.
Please review the link: http://forums.iis.net/p/1213109/2079229.aspx?Re+Windows+Server+2012+Printing+using+UNC+path+not+working
Their final response:
Printing from ASP.NET using System.Drawing.Printing itself is a horrible approach, as this namespace was designed for Windows Forms only. The designers did not take everything about ASP.NET in mind, so any issue can happen. That can answer why the HP model
works while the Samsung fails, as the HP one just "happens
to work",
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.printing.printdocument.aspx
Similarly, System.Printing was designed just for WPF.
About which printing API to use in ASP.NET/IIS, there is no clear answer so far. Thus, your only resource is Microsoft support, who can perform further analysis (with their dedicate utilities and of course Windows source code) and might come across a solution
to help you out. This is not a trivial scenario.

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

Crystal Reports Server - Scheduling Report Exports

Dear Experts,
We are using Crystal Reports Server XI Edition and we would like to schedule report exports. Crystal Reports Server configuration console allows us to automate report exports but apparently we could not find a way to pass report parameters and formulas from any export management tab. Naturally, each report needs to take different parameters but to our knowledge CRS management console does not have a screen that prompts us to key in or to read dynamic report parameters and formula. It simply uses the default report parameters. Can you confirm this please?
To overcome this limitation, we are thinking of developing something like a script that directly interacts with CRS. The script would pass the name of the report, the report parameters and other relevant details like CMS username/ password.Do you think this is possible and if yes can you please point us to the key APIs required for scheduling report exports?
My sincere thanks for your assistance.
Kind Regards,
Joseph.

You are able to change the parameters for the report within the Central Management Console under the processing tab before scheduling.
Here is some sample applications that you can refer to in regards to doing this using the api:

Crystal Reports Server XI On-demand Subreport does not open

Hi,
I'm using Crystal Reports XI and have a report with two on-demand subreports. In Crystal Designer, both work fine - that is when I click on either on-demand subreport in preview, it opens in another tab.
But in Crystal Reports Server, one subreport works but the other one just opens another tab with the main report. What could be the problem?
Thanks,
Rob
Edited by: Rob Hershfield on Feb 2, 2010 4:36 AM

I solved it - Both subreports have no name but the one that wasn't working apparently needed a name so I just typed "." (a period) and now it works.

Crystal Reports Server - Sub Reports requesting SQL Log In

I have a Sales report which has four subreports. The main report has parameters for year and four product groups. The year parameter and one of the product group parameters are passed to each subreport. When I run the report in Crystal Reports only one SQL log in is requested. When the report is run from Crystal Reports Server the SQL log in for he main report is handled automatically by CR Server but the report then prompts for 4 SQL logins, one for each subreport. I am not using integrated securirty. How can I prevent the four SQL log ins?

Hi Tony,
From the question that you have posted, we would like to know the following things: -
1. Are the main report and the subreports using the same database connection?
2. Which type of viewer are you using in Infoview to view the reports?
3. How many connections do you see in the Database Source under Process Tab in the properties of the report in CMC?
Usually this issue can be resolved by using ActiveX or Java Viewer in the Enterprise.
Please try chaning the viewer and let us know if it helps.
Cheers!

How can Crystal Report Server send reports to Fax?

If we can fax these crystal reports directly from the server (instead of printing them out and fax them using a fax machine), then there should be significant labor saving as well as less delay to deliver the report.
I wonder if other people can send Crystal Reports to a fax machine. Any addtional hardware or software are needed to send fax from Crystal Report Server?
Thanks in advance,
Hong

Hello,
Crystal Report Server is not able to send reports directly to a fax.
However, you can send them to a printer.
Now I believe there are some Fax softwares that emulate a printer (like Right Fax).
So it might be a possible solution to get your document faxed like that.
Have a look at it but keep in mind that the official answer from SAP is that it's not supported.

Philippe

SQL Server 2012 Reporting Server Default USER group instance missing

Hi
We have installed SQL Server Reporting Services 2012 on Windows 2012 Server and we can’t see any SSRS default group on windows server group list say something like (SQLServerReportServerUser$TestServer$MSRS11_50.MSSQLSERVER)
created as part of the installation
we are migrating SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012, we were able to see default group for Reporting Server has been created in the earlier versions like SQLServerReportServerUser$TestServer$MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER
Can you please assist whether we are missing anything in the SQL Server 2012 installation, this needs to be fixed as part of Report server user authentication

Reports Server/running reports on the web.

I am trying to configure my web server to run reports on the web. I have followed the instructions provided by Oracle, but some is not clear. When i try to run report on the browser, i get the following error:
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:
Oracle documentaion say the following about the steps to configure the web server:
1-Start your Web server by entering the following:
2-Start your browser.
3-Create a listener.
4-Configure your Web server mapping and note the physical and virtual directories. For example:
I have done all the steps above except creating a listener. The documentation doesnt explain that step at all.
I have created a cgi-bin directory and made it excetable and copied the rwcgi60.exe from reports server machine to the web server machine. I also copied the TNSNAMES entry for the web server from the reports server machine to the web server machine.
Here is the command i use(just trying to make sure that web CGI is responding, but it doesnt work)
http://web_server/scm/cgi-bin/rwcgi60.exe
Other question: On the server machine, i have 3 oracle directories: ORA81, ISUITES, 806, which one should be the home directory for the reports to work on the web??
I am using oracle 8.1.7 with 9iAS release 1.
Thanks

Crystal Report orange link arrow to SAP B1 not working

Hello,
I couldn't find a way to insert the actual "arrow" icon into a Crystal report so I copied one from one of the Crystal Reports imbedded in SAP B1 9.0. I subsequently edited the hyperlink to point to the document number I wanted.
From the Format Editor dialog box, Hyperlink, the hyperlink website address is:
http://$b1$/link?table=OPCH&key=1
There was a formatting button to the right of the website address line. Clicking on it yielded a formula workshop dialog box that I edited as follows:
'http://$b1$/link?table=OPCH&key='+ToText({OPCH.DocNum},0,"","")
The Crystal Report runs fine in B1 and shows the link arrows. Hovering the cursor above the hyperlink in print preview yields the specific information for that record. For example, when the report shows A/P Invoice #4394 the screen shows a small pop-up with "http://$b1$/link?table=OPCH&key=4394". Clicking on the arrow brings up a window with a blank! A/P invoice with the cursor located in the "Vendor Invoice No." box (OPCH.NumAtCard field).
Why is this not working to bring up the correct A/P invoice? There are no errors indicated.
Thanks for any assistance.

Thank you, Nagarajan.
Those instructions are exactly what I've done with my report. However, the instructions start with the phrase "manually insert link arrow into Crystal report". OK, I did a Google search on "insert link arrow" and "crystal" and "reports" and "SAP" and there was only ONE webpage with these words on the ENTIRE internet--the page you sent me to. Crystal reports online help has nothing relating to a "link arrow". If there's some special aspect of this link arrow that I'm missing, it sure is a secret because there's nothing out there on this subject. I guess I'll have to copy the graphic from previous reports each time I need to do this.
CORRECT ANSWER:
In any case, I was able to resolve the issue by changing the text in the formatting dialog box from OPCH.DocNum to PCH1.DocEntry and it worked. Why it worked is beyond me. Guessing seems to be the one defining feature of doing work with SAP B1.

URGENT: 9i report server for reports (9i ver) deployed on Weblogic6.1

Hi,
My company's product is a web-based reporting application running on WebLogic6.1 and Reports6i. I have recommeded using Reports9i due to its vast array of features. In the test environment, I have been able to successfully integrate Reports9i on WebLogic through the Reports9i J2EE Thin Client.
I would like to know that, for production, is it possible to use this same configuration to pass requests to a stand alone oracle9i report server as was the case in 6i. Since we are already using weblogic6.1 in production and cannot migrate the entire application to oracle9ias appserver just for using the reporting functionality.
Thanks,
Bharat

Bharat,
I would suggest you to read the readme which is available with the Oracle9i Reports J2EE Thin Client.
Please note that for testing and development purpose,
your configuration of "Oracle9i Reports J2EE Thin Client for WebLogic used to pass request to a standalone Report9i Server installed through the Oracle9i Developer Suite." is perfectly O.K
However, To use in deployment / production environemnt, you must have a license of Oracle 9i Application server
Please let us know if this is not clear
Thanks
