Crystal Report VS 2010 Beta - Dynamic Logo Image

I am creating a report for an application in which the logo needs to change. I have inserted a picture in the report. I have created a parameter called LogoFile. Using FormatObject and then GraphicLocation, I have set the value to the parameter. I pass a simple string with the file path. In order to be certain that the parameter was set, I display the string as text in my report.
The parameter is set without problem. The image does not change to the path specified by the parameter. Do I need to do something else to trigger the change?
Thanks!

The graphic formula feature works for me using a .NET Windows form viewer control. What type of project and viewer are you using? Do you have the appropriate user permissions to access the image file?
Try using Process Monitor to watch your app run. Check to see if your app is trying to open/read your image file you've set using the parameter prompt. It should give you a hint about what is occuring.

Hi
We will fix this.
The particular problem you noticed is one that we will be addressing with the RTM version of CR Viewer XI. We mentioned only Win XP was supported in the release notes âu20ACu0153For Technical Preview, the Crystal Reports Viewer XI is supported only on Windows XP in English.âu20AC
Root Cause
The root cause is that GDI+ is not installed already on Windows 2000. We will be changing our install to add it. However, if you would like to continue to use CR Viewer XI Tech Preview (we hope you will) => You can download and install GDI+ yourself: If you google âu20ACu02DCGDI+ Windows 2000 Microsoftâu20AC(tm) youâu20AC(tm)ll see the linksÂ Many thanksCR Viewer XI Tech Preview/Beta TeamÂ Ps We will be sending a survey to beta participants at the end of the beta period, and we look forward to your feedback in that survey.

CRVS2010 Beta - Crystal Report Viewer 2010

Hi,
I'm using Crystal report 2010 with VS 2010, and i have 2 web projects, the first is the one that my organization works with and the second is a dummy one - this is for test only -, my problem is when dealing with charts or pictures, every thing OK in the second project, but in the first one charts and pictures are displayed very will in crystal report designer, and preview, but nothing is displayed at run time. the environment of the 2 projects are identical (the same referenced DLLs, and from the same location "Local Folder", the same binding method "Objects", the same registered and add "Keys, and Assemblies" in the web.config).
please, does any body has an idea where is the mistaken part, or where I'm i suppose to search about the malfunctioning configuration, or ...... etc.
Thanks a lot.

hi guys
i was comparing the source code of 2 web pages one from each project - the working and malfunction one -, this led me to check Temp folders, and what i found was so strange
first of all, "full control" permission is granted for all possible users, Guest, Anonymous, IIS, and ASPnet user on Temp Folders.
the strange part is as following,
of course there 2 temporary folders for the 2 apps, the one of the working app did not contain any kind of files, on the other hand the one belongs to the malfunction app contain 2 .png files one for the chart, and another one for the picture, in addition, chart image is the same as the one displayed in the preview mode in design time, i mean that the created chart image did not respect report source data - the created one is of a vertical line, but according to supplied date the line should be horizontal, and i insure that data was supplied (from debugging, there are 246 object in the supplied object list, on the other hand if no data was supplied, this should not affect picture display) -, in despite of that nothing is displayed at run time but the red "X" mark.
so I'm wondering, why nothing is displayed in despite of the creation of temp pictures?, and also how the working app displays the correct chart & picture in despite of creation of no templates?
another question, in many forums, and also in the page source there are a mention of "aspnet_client/system_web/2_0_50727/crystalreportviewers14" folder and its existence in the app root, while this folders exists only in the wwwroot folder , and no physical existence for that folder in any of the 2 apps root, specially that I'm running my apps from the Visual Studio Development Server, not from the IIS, so, where can i find this folder, to grant appropriate permissions on it .
i wanted also to inform Don that both apps and their class library projects target complete 3.5 .Net Framework, and also not the client one.
now, I'm in doubt about the creation of a project before and after crystal report 4 visual studio 2010 installation, so I'm about to establish a new web app, and copy all of the malfunction one to avoid this problem, but i hope to know the cause of this problem.
Thanks a lot

Crystal Reports XI R2 SP4 Dynamic Image link not shown through forward prox

Hello,
I've installed crystal reports XI R2 on a server which accesses the internet through a forward proxy. I've created a sample report with a dynamic image link. When I preview the report, the image shows up blank. I am able to browse to the image using IE.
Further, using the same report on our lan machine (no proxy), works fine. Any help you can provide is appreciated.
Regards,
Sujee

Hi,
It seems that Crystal Reports does not support accessing images through a proxy configuration.
Hope this helps.

Crystal Reports for VS2010 Beta Uninstall

When trying to install the release version for Visual Studio 2010 I was prompted that the beta version was still installed. I attempted to uninstall the beta version using Add/Remove Programs but nothing would happen when I tried this...I just got an hour glass for a few seconds and then it went back to the default. After reading through another thread I did the following:
- Deleted the "SAP Business Objects" folder from Program Files
- Deleted the registry folder: HKLM\Software\SAP Business Objects
- Deleted the registry folder: KCU\Software\SAP Business Objects
- Looked for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall{2D87DD11-EAE0-4F05-BF92-A96A7CDC186B} to delete it but did not find this specific item.
After doing the above I was able to successfully install the release version of Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 but when I went to add a Crystal Report Viewer control to my form I noticed the control version was still 14.0.2.
What else do I need to do to get rid of any trace of the beta version?
Thanks!

Exporting Crystal report to excel 2007 with an image

Hi - I hope this is the correct forum for this question.
We are using the Crystal report viewer and everything works just fine . When I go to export to excel (using office 2007) the images are not exporting, do you know if this is an excel 2007 problem or a Crystal issue?
Thanks in advance
DanPlo

Hi;
I still recommend installing the Service Pack. If the issue persists, and is contained to the version 8.5 reports, then yet, they will likely need to be converted to version 11.0 to work correctly. The Crystal Reports engine was completely re-written in version 9.0, so moving from 8.5 can cause some issues.
If you try exporting one of the 8.5 reports from the verison 11.0 Designer, do you have the issue?

Crystal Reports XI and Windows 7 Logo compliance

Hi all,
my company is in the process of certifying our ERP (written in Visual Basic 6), for the Windows 7 Client Logo Program.
This certification requires the all the files (including third party ones) that are installed outside the program own install folder (as Crystal Reports runtime files for istance) are digitally signed.
In our application we use Crystal Reports XI RDC and for the distribution of the Crystal Reports XI runtime we use the COM merge modules that we embed in our setup program.
If digitally signed files are not available, the Win7 logo test requires a proof of communication sent to the vendor to request a signed version of the redistributables, to be able to have a "waiver" granted for the unsigned files.
Is there a version of the merge modules with digitally signed files? Or who in Sap can i contact (i need a mail address) for requesting the signed version of the runtime files?
Thanks in advance.

Send Crystal Report publication via mail dynamically

Hi!
I want to achieve the following scenario:
I have a Crystal Report within my BOE 3.1 system. Is it possible to trigger an event from an external system which indicates that the report on my server gets executed and will be sent to a specified user via email?
I'm thinking of some kind of solution like OpenDocument - where I access the report via an URL, pass parameters to it, and the executed report will be displayed on the users screen. Now, I don't want to display the report on the user's screen, I want to send it to him via mail.
Has anyone ever tried to implement such a kind of scenario? Does BOE offer web services which might help me to achieve my scenario?
thank you,
Dominik

Hi Dominik,
Yes, that is something that you can do using the SDK.
The idea is that when your user clicks on the button, it will generate a new schedule to run now and with email destination.
There are few examples in the SDK. You can start with this KB:
1203257 - How to schedule a Web Intelligence document with prompts using the Enterprise Java SDK
The main URL with SDK Documentation is:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/bi-sdklibrary
One of the first things you have to know is to choose the right SDK for your project. You will find a quick approach in the following links:
http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXI3/en/diagrams/bosdks_overview_121_en.pdf
and
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/40bccdfd-88a6-2b10-1da1-c47a54b625a7
Because you are thinking to do something related with scheduling you should focus in the Enterprise SDK.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/webcontent/uuid/a09374f5-a982-2b10-0297-85c67690b4f2

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
 if (internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.ContainsKey("UseDSNProperties"))
 internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.Set("UseDSNProperties", true);
 // Sets 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 attributes for the QE_LogonProperties which is part of the main property bag
PropertyBag innerPropertyBag = new PropertyBag();
innerPropertyBag.Add("DSN", this.DSN);
innerPropertyBag.Add("UserID", this.LoginName);
innerPropertyBag.Add("Password", this.Password);
innerPropertyBag.Add("UseDSNProperties", "true");
// The attributes collection of the tables ConnectionInfo object
PropertyBag mainPropertyBag = new PropertyBag();
mainPropertyBag.Add("Database DLL", "crdb_ado.dll");
mainPropertyBag.Add("QE_DatabaseType", "OLE DB (ADO)");
mainPropertyBag.Add("QE_LogonProperties", innerPropertyBag);
// Pass the database properties to a connection info object
ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
connectionInfo.Attributes = mainPropertyBag;
connectionInfo.Kind = CrConnectionInfoKindEnum.crConnectionInfoKindCRQE;
connectionInfo.UserName = this.LoginName;
connectionInfo.Password = this.Password;
// Replace the database connection properties of each table in the report
foreach (RAPTable oldTable in this.report.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.Database.Tables)
 RAPTable table = new RAPTable();
 table.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
 table.Name = oldTable.Name;
 table.QualifiedName = oldTable.QualifiedName;
 table.Alias = oldTable.Alias;
 this.report.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.SetTableLocation(oldTable, table);
this.report.VerifyDatabase();
Thanks again Ludek for the help.

How To: write a logo image in a list display report
