2008 Engage Server Service packs and Fix Packs

I have Engage Server. I tried to load SP 3 and it didn't let me open old files. SAP told me SP3 was not compatible with Server product. I had to roll back to base version 5.0.0.99 build 12,0,0,121. Does anybody know if I can at least load SP1 or SP2 (and/or Fix packs) so I can have some of the basic features?

Your first question was answered many time int his forums, please use search functionality before posting a question.
There is no publicly available Version matrix + fixed issues list.
However, you can do to Service Market Place > Downloads locate XIR2 section and see how many Service Packs and Fix Packs are available.
Latest Service Pack for XIR2 is 6
latest Fix Pack for XIR2 is FP6.4 (needs to be installed on top of SP6)
To the right of each SP/FP in the download section of SMP is a link called "Info" , it leads to Knowledge articles which contain list of fixed issues.
As all SP/FP's are cumulative, you can view Sp6 readme and Fp6.4readme to get overall picture of fixed issues.

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.
Ciao,
Massimo

Crystal Reports Service Pack and Fix Pack documentation

I've been maintaining a wiki that documents fixed issues, specifically targeted at the .NET developer. The link to that wiki:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=163843498
For now, I'll keep maintaining the wiki, but if it is a duplication of effort and not used, I'll take it down.
Ludek

Umm......thanks for the feedback Ludek. You've obviously taken the time to read the documentation.
My question:
Why doesn't the "CR2008 FixPack 2.8 Fixed Issues" document list any issues fixed in FP2.8. The last I heard Jason was asking about this.........
Also where is the documentation for Fix Pack 2.9?
Thanks,
Peter.

CR2008 service pack and fix pack sequence

I have CR2008 SP0 as a component of Crystal Reports 2008 Visual Advantage. I gather that the CR component of Visual Advantage is the plain vanilla version of CR2008. There seems to be multiple SP's, and hot fixes, available for the different flavors of CR2008. Does anyone know what sequence should I follow for bringing the plain old vanilla flavored version of CR2008 up to date? Thanks....d

Yeah, I have a strange state at the client I'm at where some of the developers are using SP1 and some are using SP0, but no one has the SP1 files so we can update. The sooner I can upgrade everyone the better...any word on when the updated SP1 will be ready?
[Edit] - Got your update above that was posted while I was writing my e-mail...If I had just waited a few more seconds...

Crystal Reports Service Pack 2

Do I need to install Crystal Reports Service Pack 1 and all the hotfixes before I install SP2 or is it all inclusive?

Hi,
It is not mandatory to install service pack and hot fixes for SP 2.
If we have the set up with crystal reports XI R2 with SP2 then we can install them directly.
Try to run the set up which we have and check with the version number 11.5.3.417 is with SP1.
Then we can install SP2 directly on SP1.
If we have only crystal reports installed on our machine then we have 11.5.0.883 version.
If we have SP2 installed on our machine then version no is 11.5.8.826.
Thanks,
Naveen.

Crystal Report Service Pack Question

Hi,
I have some question regarding Crystal Report Service Pack for different version respectively :-
Crystal Report 9
1. I have SP5 and SP7. Can I just install SP7 without installing SP5 ?
Crystal Report XI R2
1. I have install a distribution of Crystal Report X1 R2 in a non-development server.
Can I install the latest SP6 into that non-development server ? Which SP6 I should install, preferably a link to that SP would be great.
NOTE: I am a VS.NET 2003 and 2005 developer.
Best regards
Joseph

Crystal Report 9
1. I have SP5 and SP7. Can I just install SP7 without installing SP5 ?
- Yes
Crystal Report XI R2
1. I have install a distribution of Crystal Report X1 R2 in a non-development server.
Can I install the latest SP6 into that non-development server ?
- no. From CR XI on, SPs are only meant to be used on development computers. E.g.; a computer that has the CR designer installed. To update your runtime computer, you will have to uninstall the current runtime and install the SP6 runtime:

CR 2008 and BOE XI 3.1 patches and fix pack?

I'm installing Crystal Reports 2008 and BOE XI 3.1 on windows 2008 server, can anybody tell me which service pack and fix I need to install for each product? When I looked under both product, there are so many of them. Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Susan Johnson

I have done much testing over the past several months with BOE 3.1 and different patches. I've yet to find a combination that would allow us to be on a relatively recent patch level but that does not have a significant issue that support cannot resolve. We started with 3.1 and FixPack 1.8. This has actually been the most stable so far. We were planning to convert our production environment from XI r2 to 3.1 in August and thought it would be better to be on a more current patch level so we added SP2 and FixPack 2.6 on the advice of support. Just before beginning yet another round of testing for these additional patches, SP3 was released so we added that too. We then found a significant issue with scheduling Crystal reports that had both dynamic and static parameters. You can't enter the prompts because they don't display the correct LOV. Support advised that this issue was fixed with FixPack 2.7 so we installed it. It does indeed resolve the Crystal schedule issue but the issue returns if you install SP3. SP3 only includes up to FixPack 2.5 and whatever code was fixed in FixPack 2.7 was not rolled into SP3 so I would caution you against using that combination if you have Crystal reports with mixed parameter types and want to schedule them. We then removed SP3 and have most recently tried SP2 with FixPack 2.7. In this version, you cannot schedule Webi reports when going through one of the dashboard analytics (vs. the standard folder navigation). You get a 404 error when you try to populate the prompts. We have about 2,000 users that rely on a dashboard for navigation so needless to say, we can't go live with this issue. I would love to know what the best patch level is for 3.1 but I wouldn't recommend SP2 or SP3.

Difference between service pack and support pack

Hi,
what is the exact difference between service pack and support pack. Are they same?
The version details presnt in integration builder -> help-> inforamtion of my XI server are as follows :
Service pack: 09
Release: 645_VAL_REL
does it mean that the both support package and service package for my XI server are 09?
thanks in adavance

Jagruthi

1. A service pack (in short SP) is a collection of updates, fixes and/or enhancements to a software program delivered in the form of a single installable package. Service packs are usually numbered, and thus shortly referred to as SP1, SP2, etc. It is notable that they may bring, besides bug fixes, entirely new features.

Service packs in 2004 and 2004s;

SP13 + 14 - SP05 http://PI 7.0
SP15 - SP06

For the ABAP parts of usage type PI, this is the implementation of support packages. For the Java parts, the deployment with the Java Support Package Manager (JSPM) is used.
You can find currently available support packages on SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/sp-stacks.
A description of how to apply support packages is available in SAP Note 879289.

How can I confirm that I installed BO XI R2 SP3 and Fix Pack 3.5 correctly?

I installed both SP3 (Client Install) and Fix Pack 3.5 (Client Install) on my workstation. The Installation guide says it should appear in Add/Remove Programs, but I'm not seeing either entry. A log file was created for each install, is there anything within the logs that may say that the install was successful?

Under the Add/Remove programs section in the Control Panel. Select the Business Objects Application and there is a link that reads "Click here for support information"
The opened display box will display a Version such as 11.5.xxxxxx
Reply back w/ the version. SP# and 3.5 fix pack will be something like 11.5.9.1176

could this affect the performance of Crystal Reports for Enterprise and how could I fix this ?

Venkat,
Thanks for your response. Please note, however, the transaction RAD1 does not exist. Let me provide more details about the current settings of the InfoObject.
The Characteristic is 'Item' (0CS_ITEM) and upon going to RSA1 > Modeling > InfoObjects > Item (0CS_ITEM) > Right Click > Display > Business Explorer (tab) > Text Type is set to 'Long Text' and BEx description is set to 'Long description' already.
When I run/execute the query with this Item characteristic, the results in BEx Analyzer is showing appropriate long text, however, Crystal Report for Enterprise shows short text only

Crystal Reports XI R2 and Delphi 7.x

Post Author: Laurent
CA Forum: Other
Hi,
i'm using Delphi 7.x and Crystal Reports XI R2 and VCL for CR XI.The Database is an Oracle 9.x or 10.x acording to our software internal version.
When i run the application i got an error 100: error loading crpe32.dll.
I look in the KB and found it is connected to a path issue or missing MFC42.dll.
I check for the last file, it exist on my machine, i edit the path, setting the CR bin folder first in the list, not helping.
Any other idea, please?

Hi Laurent,
I've tried the solution you suggest but it seems fix the problem only partially, i still get the 'can't load library' error form time to time, expecially after I've priented many reports from my application (that's strange but that is !).
Browsing through TCrpe source files I've found that the funcion GetCommonFilesPath in the file UcrpeUtl.pas use a registry key that is not valid if you're using CR11rel2 :
regKey.OpenKey('SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports', False);
if you change this line in :
regKey.OpenKey('SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports', False);
recompile and reinstall the package and everything seems to work fine.
You don't need to have the crpe32.dll in the same folder as your executable anymore, because now your application can retrive the correct common file directory and load the dll from its standard location.
There are some other registry key that point to version 11.0, they don't seems to be important and I decided not to change them, but eventually you can decide to change them all.
Best Regards
Luca.

Difference between Hot Pack and Support Pack

Hello,
Can anyone throw some light on difference between Hot Pack and Support Pack(if there is any) and what is Tax Update Bulletins, do we need to configure for TUBs or what is the SAP HR consultants role is Tubs.
Thanks
Charlene

Hi,
I believe both (hot pack and support pack) are one and the same.
For TUBS, you can find more information in:
Service Marketplace -> SAP ERP Human Capital Management -> Country Info -> North America -> United States -> Tax Update Bulletins -> Tax Factory 8 -> Tub Downloads
Hope this helps,
Reward points if helpful,
Thank You,
