Crystal Report Viewer requests login information for subreport

I am using CR 11.5 with MSSQL 2000. I have a report that includes a subreport that pulls information from a different database than the main report. When I run the report through my .net application, it requests a password for the secondary database. If I supply the password, the report will run correctly, however, I cannot give out the password to regular users.
Is there a way to supply the password for the secondary database within the application?
Thank you,
David

Log on subreport code would be something like this:
crSubreportDocument = crReportDocument.OpenSubreport("Ron")
crConnectionInfo = New ConnectionInfo
With crConnectionInfo
.ServerName = "Rcon1"
.DatabaseName = "Northwind"
.UserID = "van"
.Password = "van"
End With
crDatabase = crSubreportDocument.Database
crTables = crDatabase.Tables
For Each crTable In crTables
crTableLogOnInfo = crTable.LogOnInfo
crTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo
crTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTableLogOnInfo)
Next

Crystal reports viewer will not prompt for parameters

Help,
I can not get crystal report viewer to prompt for parameters when called from IIS 8 on Server 2012 r2
I can get crystal report viewer to prompt for parameters when run from vs 2010 built in web service.

Thanks,
The solution for me was to uninstall the latest crystal reports runtime 13.10.x and install 13.6.x instead.
Thanks anyway.

How to set printersettings for the crystal report viewer in SAP BI dynamically

Hello
I have set the URL method for my crystal report and with parameter passing as shown below, it was displaying the crystal report viewer by connecting to the SAP BI 4.0 server with this method.
http://cr:port/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sDocName=CRLabelParam&sType=rpt&lsSnPrinted=0&lsSsTestProjectNr=1
This URL will be called from Web application by different users, i would like to set the printer settings differently for different users for this crystal report viewer how shall i need to set the printer options?
shall i need to set the printer settings programatically for each user. Please advise me how do i need to proceed.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajeswari.

There are no BI / CR APIs that would do this for you. The way I see it, you'll have to have your own print button and populate it with the correct printer information for each user as they request the report. Of course, alternatively, use the viewer printer button and get the users to choose the correct printer.

Crystal Report Viewer 2008, postback causes a weird QueryString for dates

HI,
I'm having a weird problem that was masked with the error "".
What is happening to me is that i have an ASPX page where the QueryString passed in is used as parameters to the report (straightforward). When the page first loads, this is all fine the QuerySTring is properly parsed and the report is properly displayed. Now, the problem comes when i click on the PRINT Button it performs a postback, and during that postback the querystring is read so that it can rebuild the report on the postback. (In previous versions of crystal, this has always worked). The issue here is that the version 12 of the report viewer here now appears to also append some information to the query string that was not previously there (like this: ServletTask=Print&cmd=get_pg&page=1) So the problem here for me is this is what my original QueryString looks like:
tokenid=b2817081-6b52-43c7-8e2c-d6209af2ed98&Type=Appointment&Val=12%3b1%3b1%3b06%2f10%2f2000
THat query string is generated by the following code (pre-encoded)
"PrintPage.aspx?tokenid=" & Guid.NewGuid.ToString & "&Type=Appointment&Val=" & "12" & ";" & "1" & ";" & "1" & ";" & "1/1/2000" (NOTE the date here, i'll get to that in a second)
Then, what the problem is on the postback the Query String looks like this:
tokenid=2a4f42de-bd90-48b5-ac82-bd34b503afd3&Type=Appointment&Type=Appointment&Val=12%3b1%3b1%3b1%2f1%2fPrintPage.aspx%3ftokenid%3d2a4f42de-bd90-48b5-ac82-bd34b503afd3&Val=12%3b1%3b1%3b1%2f1%2f2000&ServletTask=Print&cmd=get_pg&page=1
As you can see here it's all messed up.
So, what i found here is that the underlying cause is that we are passing a "date" in the original QueryString and it seems on the postback the Crystal Reports Viewer is having some issue with that and basically messes up the query string...
I have Crystal Reports 2008/SP3 installed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Cleaning up these forums I came across this unanswered thread.
Very weird behavior that I have seen maybe 3 or 4 years ago - I think it was with opendocument.aspx...
In this case, we appear to be re-adding the querystring with the aspx name and question mark (u2026.parentagesu2026). Having two question marks (%3f) is essentially a malformed URL since this indicates where the querystring starts.
The duplicate querystring may have been a coding error(?) where it gets added again on a postback.
Were you able to resolve the issue?

Crystal Report Viewer 2008 paging error. Unable to process your request

Hi everyone,
I encountered this error today when clicking on the next page button on the Crystal Report Viewer. I am running Crystal 2008 SP0. When i click on show detail i get this:

I have a simple .Net page that has a dropdown control that a user can select to pass the parameter for the report. I have a server side button that gets the report on the onclick event. The code behind is as follows:

        paramField.Name = "@txComments";
        spValue.Value = ddlPastInvoices.SelectedValue.ToString();
        paramField.CurrentValues.Add(spValue);
        ParamFields.Add(paramField);
        CrystalReportViewer1.ParameterFieldInfo = ParamFields;
        CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = Myreport;
Is there something i am missing for paging to work?
Thanks in advance

Sorry i forgot to include more information.
.Net 3.5 and I can view this report fine in Crystal report designer. I get no error message when I switch pages. The issue happens when i view the report inside a Crystal report viewer control that i have on the page.
<%@ Register assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=12.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304" namespace="CrystalDecisions.Web" tagprefix="CR" %>
I haven't tried your sample reports. Where can i find those? i have other reports with multiple pages so I can also try using those reports as well.
Thanks again,
Pablo

Dynamic command execution fails in Crystal report viewer for parameters

We are using the Crystal Report Viewer for the .Net Application on the client side.The reports are designed using Crystal Report XI R2.
The issues that we are currently encountering is that, we are unable to load the combo-boxes in the pop-up for the parameters.
All the reports have multiple commands and the variables are of 'dynamic' type.
When the dialog box for requesting the pop-up comes up, It comes up empty even though they are linked to the respective commands.
Also,For reports having multiple parameters we are unable to give a single dialog box to get in all the parameters.It appears as a series of prompts.
Both,these issues are not encountered when the reports are launched via the Crystal reports developer tool.

Hello Varun,
I recommend to post this questionin the [dedicated NET forum|SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio;.
This forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Thank you for your understanding,

If I change the user agent string in Firefox to that of Firefox 7.0.1 everything works as expected, this implies there is some logic in get_IsNetscape6Up() which is failing because the major browser version as reported by the user agent string is two digits instead of one.
We encountered a similar issue for our legacy pages containing Infragistics 2007 controls but were able to fix that by overriding the System.Web.Configuration.HttpCapabilitiesBase.BrowserCapabilitiesProvider and faking the browser version to 9.80. Crystal Report Viewer is apparently not using .Net's built in HttpBrowserCapabilities object, is there anything else I can adjust to stop the viewer failing?

hello Robert
Today must be my day. I already got a reply from PM (normally it takes a "bit" longer...). Anyhow, here is what he said:
With Firefoxu2019s release cycles, I donu2019t think weu2019ll be able to officially support the latest versions
of Firefox at every service release. We do our best to test the released versions of Firefox
that align with our releases. I donu2019t know the details but Iu2019ve heard there is a plan in place where
the support team(s) (?) will test the most recent releases of Firefox with whatu2019s currently
shipping by SAP and log bugs as necessary.
(umm, this is my - Ludek note here ) -> news to me re. support doing QA... find out something new every day. Anyhow, continuation of the message from PM:
The current plan for CR for VS2010, the SP3 release (expected in April) will support up to
Firefox 9. If there are reproducible bugs in Firefox 10 (or higher), then please enter a bug
and escalate and it will be investigated for the next available release.
I'll revisit this once SP3 is out there and do an escalation for Firefox 10 - ok?

Crystal Report Viewer Credential Prompt for Report with Dynamic Parameters

The .NET Crystal Report Viewer is prompting for database credentials when launching a report containing dynamic parameters. This only occurs for reports created with SAP Crystal Reports 2011 designer. Reports created with Crystal Reports XI designer (where dynamic parameters were first introduced) work correctly.
The credential prompt window contains the following fields:
- Server Name: <server name> (disabled)
- Database Name: <database name> (disabled)
- User Name: <empty> (enabled)
- Password: <empty> (enabled)
- Use Single Signon Key: false (disabled)
The values in the prompt window which are disabled are the database connection values used during the design of the report in the SAP Crystal Reports 2011 designer.
Expected Result:
- No prompt for database credentials.
- Values read from the database should be populated in a drop down for the dynamic parameters.
Environment:
- Visual Studio 2010 (C#)
- Windows 7 Enterprise
- SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4
- SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio 2010
- SAP Crystal Reports 2011
The database connection is being set to use a DSN. It must be a DSN as the calling application is only aware of the DSN/Username/Password values. These values are being passed to the Crystal Report Viewer contained in a Windows form.
The database connection for the report is being set as follows:
foreach (InternalConnectionInfo internalConnectionInfo in this.report.DataSourceConnections)
    // Must set the UseDSNProperties flag to True before setting the database connection otherwise the connection does not work
    if (internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.ContainsKey("UseDSNProperties"))
        internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.Set("UseDSNProperties", true);
    // Supposed to set the database connection for all objects in the report (ie. main report, tables, sub reports)
    internalConnectionInfo.SetConnection(this.DSN, string.Empty, this.LoginName, this.Password);
The SetConnection method's signature is as follows:
   SetConnection(string server, string database, string name, string password)
As you can see from the code snippet above I am setting the DSN name as the server parameter, blank for the database parameter (a database connection using DSN should only require DSN name/Username/Password) and the database username and password respectively.
Is this a SAP bug?
Is this the correct way of setting the database connection to use a DSN?
Is there some other properties that need to be set somewhere else in the report through code?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the pointer to the database connection code generator. After taking a look at the output from the tool I was able to finally get the dynamic parameters to load and populate properly without prompting for credentials. I needed to tweak the outputted code a bit to match my requirements of using a DSN only connection.
Instead of updating the database connection properties contained within the Report.Database.Tables collection from the CrystalReports.Engine namespace, I changed it to replace the database connection properties in the Report.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.Database.Tables collection from the CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel namespace. For one reason or another, using the RAS namespace solved the problem.
Below is the updated code with the change made:
using RAPTable = CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table;
foreach (InternalConnectionInfo internalConnectionInfo in this.report.DataSourceConnections)
    // Must set the UseDSNProperties flag to True before setting the database connection

Crystal Report Viewer Print does not work for IE7

Post Author: ssdudeveloper
CA Forum: .NET
When I view a report in IE7, and click the Print button in the Crystal Reports Viewer toolbar, an empty dialog window opens and no print dialog appears. The print functionality works correctly when viewing the same report using an IE6 browser.
I have tried changing the browser security settings (as per http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/cs/forums/thread/3171.aspx) - with Automatic prompting for file downloads set to Enable, but this does not resolve my problem.
Is this a known compatability issue with IE7? Are there any workarounds/solutions to this?

Hi,
I am using Crystal report viewer (Crviewer.dll) version 11.0.0.1282 to show crystal reports in my VB6 application. When we search for any text in a multipage report after the last find system shows a message "Crystal Report Viewer" "Text cannot be found in the report" and trows an unhandled error and closes the application. How can I fix this?
Please help
Thanks in advance.

Enter the following:

into the search box in the top right corner. You should get a number of hits (Kbases and articles) that should point you to a solution.

Install configuration for Crystal Reports Viewer 2011

Hi,
Is there any way to configure the defaults for Crystal Reports Viewer 2011 as part of the installation routine?
Specifically we would like to:
1. Switch off the attempt (on launch) to make an internet connection for community resources
2. Hide the side bar unless the user actually goes into the view menu to turn it on.
There's various reasons for this, but mostly it's that to get an internet connection the application has to go through the proxy server - we would rather that sort of activity was instigated by the end user on demand, not an application automatically, not least in this case because the license agreement window seems to be set to force itself to the 'front', which covers the proxy server prompt, so we can't write a script to provide automatic authentication without user intervention. It would be far better if there was a way to simply switch off this feature - and at the same time set the default 'view' settings to hide the side bar in the first place.

Hi,
Do you mean the Standalone Crystal Reports Viewer 2008: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/reporting/viewer/index.epx
If you do then you can perform a slient install by following the instructions from the release notes:
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/crv2008/en/xi3-1_crviewer_release_en.pdf
Those notes are provided from this webpage:

Crystal report Viewer for 8.5 reports

We are using an older version of Crystal reports (8.5) and use an application called RePortal (that use Crystal Enterprise) to view the reports through out the building. We recently had a report that was created and we are getting an error:
Error encountered by Crystal PageServer
Unable to connect: incorrect table location. File Worksheet.rpt. On Cache/Page Server:
I tried a few solutions I found on line, but that didn't work.
My thought was to bypass and download the free Crystal Report viewer, but the one I found was only compatible with Reports written in 9 or higher.
Does anyone know how to resolve the error above or we I can find an older version of Viewer to work on 8.5

Hi
Now am using Crystal Report 8.5 with Visual Basic 6.0
i want to use latest of crystal report with Visual basic 6.0
can anyone suggest which version i have to use
it must be compatible with Visual Basic 6.0

Crystal Report Viewer Not Releasing Oracle Database Connections

I have a very simple vb.net 3.5 web application that uses the Crystal Report viewer 2008 to open a report. My requirements are as follows:
1. Reports are built by another company and provided to us and used in a web environment
2. All reports contain parameter fields
3. The web application must be generic enough that a report can be added to a list and the user simply selects the report and provides database login information. The Crystal report viewer with handle the request for parameter values and prompt the user for their values.
4. All reports connect to an Oracle 10g server.
The above requirements have been meet and we have an extremely simple web application that runs the reports. It is working very well other than the crystal report viewer is not releasing the database connections. This is bad because the credentials are on a per user basis and that same user must login to a different oracle application simultaneously. They are being denied access because the credentials are already in use. We do not have control nor influence over the policies in use on the Oracle server. Ideally we would like to control the Crystal Report viewer so that it closes connections after use.
The web application code is:
Private Sub viewReports_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Init
If Not IsPostBack Then
ConfigureCrystalReport()
End If
End Sub
Private Sub ConfigureCrystalReport()
'Load the Crystal Report viewer with a report.
Try
Dim reportPath As String = Server.MapPath(Session("reportname"))
crViewer.ReportSource = reportPath
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Write(Server.MapPath(Session("reportname")) & "
" & ex.Message.ToString & "
" & ex.StackTrace.ToString)
End Try
End Sub
Can anyone shed some light on this topic? Thank you

Hello, Timothy;
By default, having the report in session will hold it open for 20 minutes.
If you create the report as a ReportDocument object you can take it out of session and release it more efficiently. That will release the connection.
    Private Sub ConfigureCrystalReports()
        If (Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport") Is Nothing) Then
            hierarchicalGroupingReport = New ReportDocument()
            hierarchicalGroupingReport.Load(Server.MapPath("Hierarchical Grouping.rpt"))
            Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport") = hierarchicalGroupingReport
        Else
            hierarchicalGroupingReport = CType(Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport"), ReportDocument)
        End If
        myCrystalReportViewer.ReportSource = hierarchicalGroupingReport
    End Sub
In the Form Unload of the Viewer:
            'Take the report out of session
            Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport") = Nothing
            Session.Contents.Remove("hierarchicalGroupingReport")
            'Clean up the ReportDocument object
            hierarchicalGroupingReport.Close
            hierarchicalGroupingReport.Dispose()
            hierarchicalGroupingReport = Nothing
            GC.Collect()
