Crystal Report XI R2 - RDC supported on Windows 64-bit

Hello!
We are using Crystal Report XI R2 runtime RDC component on Windows 32-bit platform.
Is the RDC supported on Windows 64-bit platform?
Best regards,
A.

Hi Alessandro,
The version of Crystal Reports that comes with MS Visual Studio .NET, which is CR version 10.x, is 64 bit but is quite limited in it's functionality. Only some export types and database drivers are supported. It basically only allows you to view reports, no RCAPI functionalty at all.
I suggest not going that way. RDC is not 64 bit at all, it's old COM engine and will not work in 64 bit mode as I said above. The RDC is not supoorted using .NET also.
Thank again
Don

Crystal reports connectiong to Salesforce Driver on Windows 64 bit server

Hi,
We are in the process of migrating our Crystal reports reports from BOXIR2 to R3. The R3 server is built on Wondows 2003 64bit server.
The reports work fine in 32bit windows2003 server on XIR2 environment.
Refreshing the crytsal reports in BOXIR3 nfoview on 64 bit server in connceting to SFDC databse fails with a error inavalid database argument.
Refreshing the same report using CR 2008 client fails with an error message below.
Invalid Argument provided. Details: Java Server startup failure. Please verify the PATH (JDK), CLASSPATH and IORFileLocation properties in the CRConfig.xml file. In addition, please verify you are using JDK 1.5.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Chinna

This error usually means there is an issue with the Sales Force driver. Take a look at SAP Note 1197347 (same issue on an older version of Crystal Reports/BOE software).
Also take a look at SAP Note 1400317 if you installed SP2 on Crystal Reports 2008, another possible cause

Crystal Report (9.0 - RDC] on Vista

I think i have not expressed myself appropriatly
(the last thread).
I have problems when i use Crystal Reports 2008,
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ConnectionInfo and CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer on Vista .
But i haven't problem when i use Crystal Report (9.0 - RDC) on Vista.
(Interop.CRAXDDRT / Crystal Reports 9 ActiveX Designer Design and Runtime Library).
¿?It's supported¿?(vista)
What kind of problems can I find, if i use Crystal Reports(9.0-RDC) on Vista?
(now i haven´t)

(sorry, my english)

Dear Amit,
Sorry, but I think I'm still not expressing appropriately. Let me try once again.
OK, I know that CR2008 does not support RDC. Actually we are planning to migrate to CR2008 using the new NET libraries.
However, we have tested CR9.0(RDC) in Vista and we find that it works OK so far. My question is: is CR9.0 (RDC) "officially" working in Vista? Shall we find any compatibility problem for some Vista installation?
What I would like to know is whether our current software, that still uses CR9.0(RDC), shall work fine on any Vista platform or not.
Hope that I had expressed better this time !!

(very important) Crystal Report XI Release 2 Support Windows 7

Hi:
Is there a a version of Crystal Report XI Release 2 merge module which supports:
Windows 7 (32-bit & 64-bit)
Windows Vista (32-bit & 64-bit)
Windows XP (32-bit & 64-bit)
We need it ASAP.
Thanks,
Yama

When will Windows 7 be supported and what versions of CR will support it?
Since Windows 7 has not been officially released we can not give you a timeframe of when it will be supported nor what products will be supported on it.
If I am using a licensed version of CR11R2 how much will it cost our company to upgrade to the latest version of CR?
You will have to talk to sales about upgrade pricing - 1-800-887-2340 opt 4 opt1
Also what will the impact be on our current CR11R2 reports?
There should not be any. Typically newer versions of Crystal Reports are able to open older versions without issue.

VB6 Crystal Reports 8.5 - RDC Component to Export Reports To Printer

Hi,
We have an application written in VB6 that uses the RDC in Crystal Reports 8.5 to export reports the printer. We are currently making some security changes to lock down several of our servers. Currently our custom print queue for Crystal runs in windows services as administrator. All the printers are installed as administrator. As soon as we change our application to run as a different account (ie. CrystalService) it no longer can find the printers. I was wondering if there is a way for the windows service to recognize the printers installed as administrator without re-installing all printers on all servers as the new user Crystal Service.
Thanks for your help and let me know if I can add anything to clarify the situation.

Hi Chris,
Other than re-installing under the new user account you can search Microsofts web site on how to change printer permissions. There is an article there that explains how to copy the Printer registry keys into the local user account.
Then it should all work for you, this is all a Windows permission issue, not a Crystal Reports Issue.
Thank you
Don

Windows Server 2008 R2 Crystal Report XI Runtime hosted on IIS 7 32 bit

Hi all,
We have discovered that our software department installed Windows Server 2008 R2 in a production environment.
The production environment hosts asp .net applications on IIS 7 that enables 32 bit applicatons to run over it.
We still develope on Windows XP and Visual Studio 2005 using Crystal Report XI runtime.
Reports are compatible and run properly in production environment having enabled application pool of IIS 7 in 32 bit mode.
Is Crystal report XI runtime supported on windows server 2008 R2 hosted on IIS7 32 bit mode?
Regards.
Roberto.

Hello,
Where to start.... first thing to do is search, lots of posts on these exact questions...
First, CR XI R2 does not support 4.0 framework, although MS does say it's fully backward compatible but it is not supported on Windows 2008 R2 unless you upgrade to CR XI R2A
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009114712011E/crxir2sp4_fullbuild.exe
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009114412011E/crxir2sp6_incremental.exe
Or for a clean PC https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009114712011E/crxir2sp4_fullbuild.exe
Redist is on our download page.
Second is CR XI R2 is not supported in VS 2010. Only one supported is CR for VS 2010 which you can download from here:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/crystalreports-dotnet
Bottom of the page has all of the download links for the 32 and 64 bit runtime for your WEB server.
App Pool must run in 32 mode, just in case you are using 64 bit OS.
Lastly, if you are using the SAP Integration Kit to connect to your BEX query then bad news, CR for VS 2010 doesn't have API's available to set the log on on info.
You may be able to use B1, it uses CR 2008 OEM Build and they may support this. Search that forum to see if they do:

Crystal Report Runtime start splwow64.exe on windows 64 OS

Hi,
We are using the Crystal Reports runtime in our application. We are utilizing the runtime through the COM interface. Recently a client of us installed our application on windows 2003 64-bit. Now whenever a report is created windows starts splwow64.exe. As i understand this is a process started by windows to ensure compatibility with 32-bit. Normally this process is released when the job is done. However in our case the proces is never released and remains exclusively locked. Other application on the same machine also need this splwow64 process and this is now causing a problem.
When the other applications on the server start splwow64 first it released when the job is done. It is only when creating a report (pdf) using the CR-runtime, it is never released.
Any help would be very much appriciated!
TIA
Ronald

Hi Ronald,
XI is past it's end of life so nothing we can do to fix it now. Try CR XI R2 ( 11.5 ) with Service Pack 6, it has a better chance of working on 64 bit OS's.
Go to this link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc and download the trial version of CR XI R2 and use your XI keycode, then apply the patches which you can get to by clicking on the BusinessObjects tab above, then Downloads.
Direct link to the Trial version: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
Searching on this dll it appears to be the 32 to 64 bit Thunking spooler that converts 32 bit print jobs into 64 bit jobs ( or the other way around ). CR only supports 32 bit runtime so it may be that your print driver has issues. If you can find one that is 32 bit only but works on 64 bit OS then that will likely resolve the issue.
Otherwise I suggest you contact the printer manufacture and ask them how to make their 64 bit driver work with a 32 bit app.
Thank you
Don

1st scenario
When in a runtime, it's keep appear a dialog box. This dialog box ask me to suppy Server, User ID, Password and Database. Once all information is supplied, my report display the data as expected
2nd scenario
I change my report using OLE DB (ADO) -> Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server -> checked on Integrated Security. I just choose Server, and Database. I assume me using Windows Authentication
When in a runtime, there's no dialog box as above. My report display the data as expected. really cool
Look's like, when report using SQL Server Authentication there's some problem. but, when report using Windows Authentication, it's fine.
I'm looking for comment. Please help me

Hello,
MS SQL Server 2008 requires you to install the MS Client Tools for 2008.
Once install then update all of your reports to use the SQL Native 10 as the OLE DB driver.
The try again, if it still fails search, lots of sample log on code in this forum.

Uninstall CRVS2010 that you currently have installed.
To remove the assemblies from the GAC use gacutil. Google will get you a number of links on how to. Also, see the KB [1535325 - How to remove CRVS2010 Beta 2|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333533333335333333323335%7D.do].

When crystal report is going to support 64 native application

You said in the below article that Crystal Reports 2008 (version 12.1.x) support 64 bit Operating systems, but in a 32 bit mode only. When it going to support in 64 bit mode ( native 64 bits support)
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/10d5fa88-2013-2c10-c9a5-f11963607d4e

CR 2008 won't get native 64 bit support as far as I know.
The next version of the product is rumored to have it.
/don't hold me to that though

Crystal Report Optional Prompt Not supported

Hi,
I am creating a Crystal Report on top of BEx query. We have 4 parameters in BEx and i have created one parameter in Crystal which should be an optional one. The report is working perfectly alright when run in designer. But when published to enterprise the optional prmpt is not working as intended. It is expecting a value all the times. I tried to default it some value, but it is not working.
We are using BO XI 3.1 FP2.8, Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 FP2.8 BI 7.X.
We are using BI Publisher to publish the reports. Alos i have treid testing by directly saving the report to enterprise but the result is the same.
Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Venkat

I am already using the Not HasValue(). And that is working perfectly when tested from Crystal Reports designer. But it is not working only when published to the enterprise.
