Crystal Report XI doesn't behave like CR 8.5, only Arial without country !

In Crystal Reports Vers. 8.5 our customer works on a MSSQL-DB mit Latin-1 and the Client works even in Latin-1 with only a Polisch Keyboard-Layout !
With Arial (Mitteleuropäisch) and Codepage=238 it was possible to print
polisch spezial characters !
Now with Crystal Report XI SP5 it is not possible any longer !

James,
Thanks for the quick reply - but I want to be sure I understand.
If I am using say Crystal 2008 and open a report designed in Crystal 8.5 and make some changes - can I then save the modified report as a Crystal 8.5 version?
Thanks for your help,
Rookie

Crystal Report 2008 doesn't set page size when export to excel file

Hi,
I am using Crystal Report 2008 Developer edition.
At Crystal report design time setting the below page setup:
Page Options -
to A3(297X420 mm)
Orientation --- Landscape
and using the following code in .net (c#)
I am using below format options to export in excel in .net 2005
ReportDocument oReport = new ReportDocument();
oReport.FormatEngine.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape;
oReport.FormatEngine.PrintOptions.PaperSize = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.PaperA3;
if (aParamlist.ReportFormat == ReportFormatEnum.MicrosoftExcel)
ExcelFormatOptions excel = new ExcelFormatOptions();
excel.ExcelUseConstantColumnWidth = false;
// Use detail section one as a guideline to determine column width
excel.ExcelAreaGroupNumber = 1;
//excel.ExcelAreaType = AreaSectionKind.Detail;
excel.ExcelAreaType = AreaSectionKind.Detail;
// Prepare exporting options
ExportOptions export = oReport.ExportOptions;
export.FormatOptions = excel;
export.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.Excel;
oReport.Export();
when export to excel it doesn't set the Paper Size to A3(297X420 mm).
Is there any way to set the paper size while export to excel or in other formats also????
Thanks & Regds,

Hi,
thanks for your email.
This is not happening in development environment.It is setting the paper size anf paper orientation properly.
this is happening in the production environment where only redist installation is done.

Crystal Report (RDC) doesn't print correctly, after Printer change ?

There are problems with the page format and the color settings for the new printer !
It should be resolved with ADAPT01104291 FixPack3.8
Description: Crystal reports may not print properly after users change printers by using the SelectPrinter command from the Report Designer Component (RDC). The cause of the problem is that the incorrect DEVMODE structure size is allocated to the print job.
We are using CRXI_R2_SP5_Upgrade: ProductID=11.5.11.1470.2.26.Patch
but we still have the problems !

Hello Don, thank you for your extensive answer. The PCL printer of HP is not the trouble maker. The problem is obviously replicable with any other Printer Driver (Espon/Sharp/Kycocera a. s. o.) I only installed this PCL Printer Driver of course you mentioned it in your example before.
Okay, let's talk about the Devcap-Program and there Information about the paper source of a printer. Even in Visual Basic it's possible to get those Information by Win-API-Call's. Here they are:
PrinterID: , AusgabeName: , TreiberName: , Port: LPT1:, TrackDefault: , PaperSize:
Papier-Schächte:
Automatisch auswählen, Nr: 15
Automatische Druckeraus, Nr: 262
Schacht 1, Nr: 261
Schacht 2, Nr: 260
Schacht 3, Nr: 259
Schacht 4 (2000-Blatt), Nr: 258
Manueller Einzug (Schac, Nr: 257
Papier-Formate:
Letter, Nr: 1
Legal, Nr: 5
Statement, Nr: 6
Executive, Nr: 7
A3, Nr: 8
A4, Nr: 9
A5, Nr: 11
B4 (JIS), Nr: 12
B5 (JIS), Nr: 13
11x17, Nr: 17
Umschlag 10, Nr: 20
Umschlag DL, Nr: 27
Umschlag C5, Nr: 28
Umschlag B5, Nr: 34
Umschlag Monarch, Nr: 37
Jap. Doppelpostkarte gedreht, Nr: 82
12x18, Nr: 131
9x12, Nr: 132
C4, Nr: 133
Maximum 11,7 x 17,7, Nr: 134
and even set those Information for the RDC-Sturcture, so there is a solution for the setting of the paper size.
But there is not solution for the setting of the color nor the further page settings (Printing onesided or bothsided a.s.o.)
I can change the default windows printer settings but that has no effect on the RDC-Print ! So I think, there must be a solution by the Crystal-Report-Design-printing-DLL (craxdrt.dll) !

User Function Library for Crystal Reports 10 doesn't work on Win2K3 SP2

Hi,
Recently, we have been facing problem with Crystal Reports 10 developer edition on Windows Server 2003 R2 Service Pack2.
The user function library concept doesnu2019t seem to be working on Windows Server 2003. We had installed CR10 Service Pack 6.
We have a UFL written in VB 6.0 and this UFL is used in a formula in one of our reports.
Whenever this report is invoked, the application crashes with a page fault. Dr Watson log files points to a crash occurring in Crystal Reports component.
To reproduce this problem:
1) Create a UFL in VB 6.0
2) Use the UFL in a formula in a report
3) Create a VB 6.0 application and use CR 10 Report Viewer control
4) Invoke the report from the application
5) The application crashes on Windows Server 2003 (SP2).
This is a high priority issue.
Is there any other alternative to User Function Library?
Any help on this will be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Web Gallery in iWeb Doesn't Behave Like Standalone Gallery

From iPhoto I published a web gallery of four albums. When you go to the web gallery the four albums appear. The key photo of each album is displayed. If you move your cursor you can skim.
If I add a page in iWeb and then select Insert Web Gallery and add the galleries each album starts a mini slide show. There is a small black box that flickers on each album icon. When you go to the web album page each web gallery album icon is playing the slideshow. Which is not consistant the way the standalone web gallery works.
Here is the link to the web gallery
http://gallery.mac.com/kjritchie#gallery
Her is the link to the iWeb page
http://web.mac.com/kjritchie/Site/Web_Gallery.html
When working in iWeb this motion eats up CPU. I don't remember iWeb doing this a while ago. Is this due to 10.4.11?
Thanks for any advice.
Kelvin

That seems to be the way it is. Albums added to an Album page are static except for skimming and the iPhoto galleries added via the Web Widget feature are dymanic. It appears to be determined by what application creates the entity, iPhoto for the web gallery and iWeb for the album.
This site has both types side by side and show the difference that you're referring to.

Crystal Report for VS 2010 - The report page doesn't show in IIS

Hi all, I get a problem with Crystal Report for VS 2010 (version 13).
My website is built using VS 2010 (asp.net 4.0) and Crystal Report v13.
It work okay when I run it in the VS 2010. But when I host my site in the IIS 7, when going to the page that contain the Report, the report show nothing.
The page is blank except my button I've created to export the Report.
The weird thing is when I click the my button (export to pdf), it doest export the correct pdf.
Note that this happens in my development machine: windows 7 32bit.
I've spent a day figure out problem but still haven't found the problem.
Hope you can help me.

Let's start with the viewer. Sounds like the viewer directory is not configured correctly. Use [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50aa68c0-82dd-2b10-42bf-e5502b45cd3a] article as a guide on how to do this.
I still do not have info on the following:
it means even though the crystal report viewer doesn't show, i still can export it's content to pdf.
With all due respect, think of it this way;
You're the mechanic. I'm a guy with a car. I text you; I'm sitting in my car. It will not get me to point A. Fix it.
In a nut shell, that is what you are asking me to do with the export. The more detail you provide, the better. See if you can provide the info re export I requested in my previous post.

Crystal Report to PDF change fonts, cut text and change lines

Post Author: jzwanziger
CA Forum: Exporting
Hello all, I am using Crystal Reports v10 and I created my report. The report works fine and the export function works fine in some particular servers. We were developing under Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 using Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1. We created the deployment and in our testing servers works fine (Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP these machines doesn't have any development tool).
When we installed the same deployment (MSI) file in the customer Windows Server 2003, the exporting function to PDF or using it the Crystal Reports viewer doesn't work (Same worng thing that is displayed in the viewer is in the PDF). We had detected labels cut in the middle, some fields changed the font size or alignment and some lines move it up, down or growing. Obviously this looks like a environment problem, but we don't have any idea how to fix it, or what is missed.
We tried to install, Windows Service Pack 2, install Acrobat Reader v8, verified the dll's, try to install the "dbex10win_en.zip" hot fix (we were not able to install it, setup file fail due some registry inconsistencies), Validate that the fonts are the same, and nothing fix the problem.
Could somebody help us, we are a little desperate.
thanks in advace for any idea.

See [this|https://forums.sdn.sap.com/click.jspa?searchID=29094456&messageID=7206473] forum thread for possible clues to a resolution. In a nut shell, as long as the Calibri font is up to date, the other two steps are;
1) Ensure you are using the latest Service Pack as suggested by Jonathan
2) See what USP10.dll is loading (use the [Modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip] utility)
Also, if this is a win app, compile it to an exe and run the exe to see if the issue persists. (when running the app exe, the USP10 loaded should be from the CR bin directory. when running ion the .NET environment, the USP10 will load from win\system or other)

Help ! Crystal Reports 2008 for Visual Studio Hangs

I am using CR 2008 in VS 2008. When I try to set a data source in a crystal reports viewer the first time it hangs. This only occurs on the very first viewer that gets set. Once the first one works, I never have a problem again.
This has been a problem through a number of CR releases. It is not a new issue.
Thanks.

And like all other releases the delay is due to the first time your app loads CR runtime is takes time do so, all programs do this. CR simply doesn't load in your memory space until it's called.
Load a dummy report on the Main Form when your app is loading then close the dummy report, it will add additional time to load your main app but it appears then CR loads the reports quickly.
No way around this. Also, make sure your reports have the Verify Database on first load or any of the Verify options, CR will try to connect to the DB and verify which can also take time.

Crystal Reports 2008 fails when called from e Web Service under 64bit OS

I have discovered that Crystal Reports 2008 doesn't work when called from a Web Service running under 64bit Windows platforms (in my case Windows 2003 Server and Windows XP 64bit); practically no object is instantiated. I've tried several solutions without success.
Before creating a wrapper component to use under COM+, is there anybody who has a better and cheaper solution than creating another component to wrap CR 2008 ?

Hi Sergio,
Before I mark this post as assumed answered I would just like to say and re-iterate that at this time there is no one answer and we fully understand your concerns. As you know in CR 6.0 it came in 16 and 32 bit versions because at the time 32 bit was relatively new but 16 bit was the norm. This is also true for 32 to 64 bit, 32 is the norm and 64 bit is relatively new. We know and are well aware 64 bit is the future and we are working as quickly as we can to move in that direction. Because of the complexity of the Product it's not simply a matter of re-compiling all of our dll's in 64 bit format. The core of our data connectivity with our database drivers which are dependant on third party clients must also need to support 64 bit modes. This as well as Printer drivers also need to be 64 compatable, there are a multitude of dependencies that we rely on that must add 64 bit support. As a programmer you are well aware of the issues around Thunking back and forth between 32 to 64 bits, it can cause delays and potentially loss of data which is a whole other issue. Not to mention also that we would have to ship both versions potentially doubling the size of the distribution packages or doubling the size of the dll's to have the ability to work in both modes. Relatively speaking of course, it would not be double the size but the variables would need to be able to allocate 32 or 64 memory blocks.
The other option is to produce 2 separate versions, this alone is a massive project. Any issue would need to be fixed in separate code streams.
So I'm sure you can see it's not simply a matter of saying yes we support 64 bit. It's a massive project that is going to take time to do and we have to wait for the third party drivers to commit also.
Visual Studio .NET 2005 and 2008 is the only option if you want true 64 bit but you will be limited on what DB's you can support and export formats you can export to. They are the only drivers we did convert to 64 bit.
Thank you for your understanding

Install and configure Tomcat post-Crystal Reports Server implementation?

Scenario - have Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1 already installed using WACS and IIS. Everything runs great. Want to add in SAP Crystal Dashboard Design. Looking through the documentation for Dashboard Design tells me I need to:
1. Install SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise or Crystal Reports Server.
2. Install SAP BusinessObjects Xcelsius Enterprise 2008.
3. Install Live Office.
4. Install SAP BusinessObjects Web Services.
5. Add the Live Office keycode to the Central Management Console
Made it past 3 and am hung up on 4. According to documentation for Unified Web Services, it looks like I need Tomcat installed, but Crystal Reports Server doesn't offer an expand installation option. There also doesn't seem to be any good documentation included with SAP Crystal Dashboard Design on installing web services - if it's required, why isn't it included and where can I find the documentation (assuming it's different than the Unified Web Services Administrator's Guide I found).
It seems odd that a customer who might want to purchase an add-on for their Crystal Reports Server implementation wouldn't be able to easily add to their product..
1) Can I install web services to Crystal Reports Server using just the WACS or is Tomcat required? The admin guide indicates WACS is not supported for apps that use web services, like Live Office. Is that an absolute?
2) If Tomcat is required, can I install and configure it for an existing Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1 implementation?
3) If i can install Tomcat on a server with an existing Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1 implementation, is there a specific guide to doing so?

Hi Colin,
What is the exact version of BO/Crystal Enterprise.
If it is BOXI R2 then follow below mentioned steps.
To manually install the ActiveX Viewer on the client computer:
1. Copy the ActiveXViewer.cab file from the server to the client computer, and extract its contents to a temporary folder.
2. Move the files Crviewer.dll, Crviewer9.dll, Sviewhlp.dll, and Swebrs.dll to the System32 folder. Keep this folder visible.
3. On the Start menu, click Run. The Run dialog box appears.
4. In the Open box, type "regsvr32" and then drag and drop the Crviewer.dll file icon from the System32 folder onto the Run dialog box.
5 Click OK.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the files Sviewhlp.dll, and Swebrs.dll.
You may still be prompted by the browser, choose more options and never install to avoid being prompted. The viewer should work after that.
Thanks,
Purna.

Deploying crystal reports 8.5 - error in exporting to RTF & PDF

Hi guys. I'm at my wits end, trying to get a valid build of a legacy app running reports under Crystal 8.5 going.
I've scoured google for days, and I've tried almost everything people have suggested. At the moment I've got the installer working, it installs and registers all the crystal dll's that everyone says are needed. However, when I try and and export a report to RTF or PDF (other options like excel work fine), it simply dies, doing basically nothing. The save to disk dialog just closes and nothing happens. If I rename or delete crxf_rtf.dll, the program will crash or hang, indicating that this is the file responsible for exporting to rtf.
However, the only machine in our office that this will work on is one with a C:\Program Files\Seagate Software\crtslv.dll file.. Same kind of test indicates that on this machine, the above file is being used for exporting. So, where am I going wrong? It seems ludicrously difficult to find a straight, no-nonsense guide on how to deploy crystal reports 8.5; the official documentation doesn't even mention it! What is the easiest way to do this?
I have tried several third-party options ( http://www.fryan0911.com/2008/09/crystal-report-85-runtime-files.html ) like these..
Any ideas?
Ok so here's a further breakdown with some more information; hoping it might help someone to come up with an answer...
If I install a crystal "distributable", like the one linked above, and then install my project (with all crystal stuff turned off in the installer), everything works perfectly apart from exporting reports to rtf.
If I make my own installer, following the Runtime.hlp and the crpe32.dep, and put all dll's in the windows/system32 folder (apart from two, can't remember their names), I get two different errors, depending on the version of crpe32.dll I use.
One gives me "Error 20599: Cannot connect to SQL Server", whenever I try and run a report.
The other gives me "Error 20000: N", whenever I try and run a report.
Anything sound familiar here guys? I have dll dependency headache.
Again, more info - I just checked out the PC's already in deployment (we had to re-do in the installer for some changes, the guys who did it originally aren't around anymore), and here is a list of the dll's installed on the machine.. what deployment method would this point to? And how can I replicate it? I'm not sure if I grabbed all the required DLL's from the client machine, as it didn't seem to follow the Crystal 8.5 deployment instructions, I could have easily have missed some? So I can't just use what I've got to create an installer and hope that it works...

Wow. I've never seen an app load all 3 SDKs in one go. the RDC, Automation Server, OCS and print engine APIs all in one (?!)Who wrote this app?
Don't know - the app was written years ago.. It's all a bit messed up, i'm just the cleaner :S
Once again, I have not a clue as to what SDK you are using.
What Sp1, SP2, SP3? Do you have links to these?
By SP3, I meant Windows XP Service Pack 3, 2, 1 - I've read around the net that Crystal 8.5 exporting breaks when you install sp3, and I thought that perhaps my deployments were failing because they were compiled on a sp3 box?
There is also CR 8.5 Service Pack 3 - apparently it can make CR work on Vista/Win7?
http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/service_packs/crystal_reports_en.asp
I have tried installing on dev machine, recompiling installer and running on test box - doesn't seem to help..
Do you have any machine where this actually works?
Yep, it's working on the clients machine - that is the one suffixed as "AA" in the linked difference file above
1st place to start is with a working app - is there such a thing? ^^
Next you want to know what SDK you are using.
Ok, so the VB6 app, under Project > References, lists : cpeaut32.dll
under Project > Components, lists: Crystl32.ocx
Is that any help?
Then you want to know what dlls to deploy.
Knowing the database connection type is good. - ODBC
Knowing the version of the db client that works is good. But that depends on having an actual working app.
Do you have CR 8.5 designer and are you able to run and refresh the report there?
Yep, I have 8.5 designer, and I can run and export the report fine.. But when I run MODULES on it, it's referencing C:\Program Files\Seagate Software\Shared\ExportModeller.dll & crtslv.dll.. Which don't exist on the client machine at this point in time..
I'd recommend you stop doing what ever you are doing, answer the questions and wait until I get back. As it is, you're all over the place and by the time I have a chance to reply, you're 1000 miles out in the bushes on your own. So, please answer the questions above and wait...

Crystal Report XI doesn't behave like CR 8.5, only Arial without country !
