Report designed in CR XI R2 (v11.5.8.826). Being saved to a
BO Enterprise XI R2 (v11.5.3.4175) server.
Tried saving the report to the BO repository, takes a long time and then pops up with the error:
Failed to read data from report file <report location> Reason: Unable to launch <Crystal Report location where reportadd.exe is> program to add report to the system.
I login to the server and try to upload the report using the "Publishing Wizard". I get the same error, this time referencing the location of reportadd.exe in Business Objects.
A look at the BO log shows me:

That being said, sometimes it does work. The behavior of both the publishing wizard and CR when saving or trying to upload the report is an hour glass for about 4-5 minutes. If you click away from the application and then click on it again, it states "Not responding" but it is still working. In some cases when I try again to save the report, it goes through in 1-2 minutes. Sometimes if I click away and come back, click on the active app again so it states "Not responding" it will complete saving.
No resolution as of yet, simply keep on trying. This only happens on this particular report which uses a good amount of tables and custom commands all querying a Sybase database. I have other reports with the same functionality that do not run into this problem.

Crystal Reports Server XI - A subset of Business Objects Enterprise?

Post Author: RVM
CA Forum: General
I'm evaluating Crystal Reports Server XI with a view to fulfilling the reporting requirements of my Client. I've identified Crystal Reports Server XI as the ideal solution and have been looking for documentation that describes the constituents of CRS XI and the architecture of the product from a technical perspective. I haven't been able to locate an administrators guide for CRS XI similar to the one available for crystal Enterprise 10 and Business Objects Enterprise XI R2. I've read that CRS XI is a subset of Business Objects Enterprise XI and as such has the same arichitecture. COuld some please clarify what constituents of BO Enterprise XI also reside within CRS XI?
Thanks in advance,

It is kind of annoying that they didn't bother to create any documentation for Crystal Server XI.I've used both products and the key difference is that Crystal Server XI is limited to 20 user licenses (combination of either named or concurrent types) so if you have a very large user environment then your only choice may be BO XI.In terms of development and deployment the key difference between the 2 is that BO XI allows you to create universes. Which in terms allows you to use the Webi functionality. You can still use webi in Crystal Server but that's kind of pointless as the only universes you will be able to report off are sample universes. Within Crystal Server you will still have all the functionality that exist in BO XI with the exception of the universes so you can still build business views, list of values, schedule reports, create custom calenders, etc. So if you were to just snip out everything that deals with universes in the BO XI admin guide you'd have the Crystal Server admin guide.

Crystal Report LDAP authentication with SSL to Business Objects XI 3.1 SP3

Hi,
Here is the issue
Business Objects XI 3.1 SP3
Crystal report 2008
LDAP is configured with SSL and working great within BO.
In Crystal report 2008, enterprise authentication worked, but not LDAP with SSL, I got "Security plugin error: Failed to set parameters on plugin.
If I try with LDAP with no SSL, everythingu2019s fine. Do I have to setup something on the "workstation" side to be able to user LDAP with SSL ?
*I already tried to disable firewall

Crystal Report Server: Cannot save Database Configuration in CMC

I already posted this question as SAP internal CSN message (message number 1896093 2009) but did not get any answer so far.
I have installed a test version (which I'd like to become permanent some
day...) of Crystal Reports Server 2008 on a local machine to be able to
share Crystal reports within our department.
I created a couple of reports which I would like to get updated
regularly. The issue is here that I get a logon screen to the underlying
SQL Server as soon as a user clicks on "Refresh" when viewing a report
from InfoView. The SQL Server is running on integrated security
via SSO, which I cannot change...
To get around this issue I would like to change the default Database
Configuration of the reports. Hence I do the following:
1) I open the Central Mangement Console
2) I select one of my reports
3) Rightclick on Properties
4) On the Default tab I select Database Configuration
5) the config is set to "Logon Screen" and I ant to change this to SSO,
so I set this
6) Now I click on Save
=> The setting is reverted to the old "Logon Screen" settin1g
This behavior is the same for all the reports I'm using.
Looking forward to any help, kind regards
Wolfgang
P.S.: Ultimately this issue arises, because I cannot refresh my crystal report data in batch job mode, because the reports are reading data from an SQL server, which allows SSO-logon (integrated security) only. Thus I have to open each and every report for update manually and click on the refresh button.

Hi Manish,
thanks for your answer. Unfortunately I'm still stuck in this matter.
Does this happen with the sample reports too? I think it will be a good approach to try this to see if your system is behaving differently for sample reports and reports published from outside
I did not really try this, but viewing and editing my reports in Crystal Reports 2008 Designer works perfectly fine. As well can the user view my reports in the InfoViewApp.
Also, does it revert to the login screen setting immediately after you click Save or does it show the setting as changed after clicking Save but, does not retain it when you come back and check the report settings again?
The data is reverted immediately after clicking "Save"
Kind reagrds

Crystal Reports functionality from Save The Cat

Sorry if I've missed this in the presentation video since I've only watched half of it, so I have no idea if this has been considered for development.
I use "Save The Cat" from Blake Snyder to storyboard my scenes with Crystal Reports - minus his structure.. and I create my own story templates and then drop the whole thing into "Final Draft".
If I had the flexibility to setup and re-use "structure" templates that would contain my scene cards with an overview of my scene cards as the structure under my script and the ability to toggle between the two...then where do I sign on the dotted line?
If you could integrate this functionality into this software - and as I say, I'm not sure if you've done this - then I'm sold. In other words, you build with the cards, and worry about the script later.
Cheers,
C.

I need more info from you. I have looked for info re. Powerbuilder 11.5 here:
http://www.sybase.com/products/modelingdevelopment/powerbuilder
but I can not find any mention of Crystal Reports as it would apply to Crystal Reports being part of Powerbuilder 11.5. So, I need more explanation of this:
I'm trying to use the Crystal Reports ocx from Powerbuilder 11.5
Also, in the title of this post, you mention:
Crystal Reports RDC from Powerbuilder.
RDC and OCX are quite different technologies. It's one or the other. Thus please provide the following info:
1) Is the CR component you are using (be it an OCX or RDC) part of Powerbuilder? Or have you purchased a stand-alone version of CR and are using the component in Powerbuilder?
2) What component are you actually referencing?
3) What is the version of the Crystal Reports you are using?

Save metada of Business Objects locally using JCO

Hi.
After retrieving the metadata of Business Objects, using JCO, (i.e. i have replicated the BAPI Explorer), I would like to save a particular Application Heirarchy Area & all Business Objects under it locally (e.g. Financial Acounting and all business objects under that area). I know there is a Save on the IRepository interface, but this seems to save all cached functions - that is not what i want ! Is there any way to save the metadata of those business objects using JCO ? Or should i just create my own Save which will save the metadata i want (to XML).
thanks
Javed.

Hello Javed,
to my opinion the best way to save the metadata, is to create your own xml structure. The methods save/load are only for handling the name of the repository and of the names of the functions and structures.

Crystal report for visual studio 2010 data source object is not valid error

Hello,
I receive an "data source object is not valid" error when I want to print one CR document after setting an ADODB.Recordset on SetDataSource method of my report.
On my developer station, this operation works without problem but on client station, I get this error.
The redistributable package for client is installed on client side (CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_1.msi).
Can someone help me?
Thank you.

Thank's for your answers
Dim rsPkLst As ADODB.Recordset = Nothing
Dim report As New crPickingList
' Fill ADODB.Recordset with SQL Statment
If rsPkLst.RecordCount > 0 Then
report.SetDataSource(rsPkLst) ' Error : The data source object is invalid
EndIf
This error appears during "report.SetDataSource(rsPkLst)" instruction.
ADODB drivers are already installed and my ADODB.Recordset is filled with good records.
This project is an updated project from Visual Studio 2003 to Visual studio 2010 and the old version was running fine.
Developer and client station runs under Windows XP SP3.
On developer side I install CRforVS_13_0_1 (BuildVersion=13.0.1.220.Cortez_CR4VS).
On client side I install CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_1.msi.
Both stations use Microsoft .Net Framework 4.
Move to ADO.NET is a solution but, for the moment, I do not have the time to change all applications from my company.
(I get this error from all application updated from VS 2003 to VS 2010 developed since 2005)

They created a report that I now have to generate data with while Kim is out on unexpected medical leave. When I try to open the report in CR v8.5 it will not allow me to open due to version differences. I have access to log on to Kim's PC to convert this to CR v8.5 but do not see in the Save As option to use a different version.
Is this possible?

Crystal Reports hanging in Enterprise

Just suddenly we are facing issues with some of the crystal reports . they were working fine in Business objects up to yesterday but today they are hanging , even when we try to open/modify parameter they hang. we are using Crystal report 2008 and BO R3.1.
evnthough some reports hangs the others just run fine.
we noticed that , the reports which are stopped working are the ones that have " Printer Option" unchecked in Crystal Report designer . when we open these reports in designer and check that option on pagesetup and save them back in enterprise they are working.
I have no luck to find the rootcause of this issue. what have changed that caused this issue.
It is happening on both test and production environments. I read somewhere on forum that it might be related to printer driver, but we haven't updated any driver and nothing seems to be changed.
any ideas?

In the page setup put the option Microsoft XPS Document Writer in the Printer option before publishing it to BO Server .

Launch a Crystal Report Based on a Bus. Objects Universe with code

Post Author: BobM
CA Forum: .NET
Launch a Crystal Report Based on a Bus. Objects Universe with code
We have purchased Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 and have designed a universe. We have hundreds of scheduled reports that have been configured through the InfoView. The problem is that we run these reports on a very odd date schedule and it is extremely cumbersome to go into these report definitions and change the dates in InfoView.
We would like to be able to store all the report parameters in a table (outside of the BO universe) along with the date and time we would like it to run. All of this would need to be tagged with the report name so we know what report we are referring to. Then we would like to sweep this table periodically (or use some other triggering mechanism) and launch the reports as specified (hopefully) using an API/SDK (like the one that used to be available with Crystal) to launch the .RPT file and pass all of the appropriate parameters, and possibly the credentials if need be.
In short we want to roll our own report scheduler due to some limitations we have found in the InfoView scheduler.
My main question is, does an API/SDK exist that can launch a crystal report that is based on a Business Objects Universe? As I had stated, it needs to be able to pass parameters in the report call. Based on my previous projects using Crystal connected directly to a SQL Server DB, I beleive this is possible, but I would like to hear from others that may be doing something similar with a Business Objects Universe back end.
We are using Crystal Reports XI R2. Just to be clear, all of the functionality I specified up to the point where the report needs to be called is not an issue, we know how to do all of that.
Thanks in advance,Bob

With the code, you've presumably logged on to the database. To insert objects on to a new report you'd want to use code along the following lines:
private void AddTableFromDataSet(ref CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument rpt, System.Data.DataSet ds)
ISCDReportClientDocument rasReport = rpt.ReportClientDocument;
// Convert the DataSet to an ISCRDataset object (something the ISCDReportClientDocument can understand)
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ISCRDataSet rasDS;
rasDS = CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataSetConversion.DataSetConverter.Convert(ds);
// Add the dataset as a data source to the report
rasReport.DatabaseController.AddDataSource((object)rasDS);
// Add a field to the report canvas
// Note: This is quick and dirty. No positioning, resizing, formatting, etc.
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.ISCRResultFieldController rfc;
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ISCRTable crTable;
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ISCRField crField;
rfc = rasReport.DataDefController.ResultFieldController;
crTable = rasReport.Database.Tables[0];
crField = crTable.DataFields[2]; // Hardcoded field "Customer Name" in the Customer table from Xtreme Sample Database
rfc.Add(-1, crField);
// Save the report template to disk (without data)
//object path = @"c:\documents and settings\administrator\desktop\";
//rasReport.SaveAs("test.rpt", ref path, 0);
//MessageBox.Show("Done!");
For more info, see sample apps on the following link:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/IgBmBQ
Also, consult your 'Report Application Server .NET SDK Developer Guide" and "Report Application Server .NET API Guide". I'd provide the appropriate links, but you do not mention the version of CR you are using...

Customizing ActiveX Viewer for Crystal Reports 2008

Here's the scenario.
We have reports designed in Crystal Reports 2008, that are deployed on Business Objects 3.1 Infoview. All reports have Parameters for users to choose. All reports are expected to refresh on open.Some are dynamic some are standard static ones. There is an application developed in JAVA that is rendering these reports using the ActiveX viewer.
The users are not comfortable with the way reports look in JAVA viewer. Hence the choices are either HTML viewer or ActiveX viewer.
The application achieves this by making OpenDoc call to the report and using
sViewer=actx
as one of the parameters. Here's the issue that we run into. When users land on the parameter screen, the parameter screen alone Pops Up in a new window. Once all the parameter values are entered and the users clicks OK, the window vanishes and actual report is rendered in the original window.
If we use HTML viewer by setting
sViewer=html
The report Parameter screen is rendered in the main window without popping up. However we do not wish to use HTML viewer because, some of the reports are linked to other reports with OpenDoc calls. i. e. Parent report calls child report with a OpenDoc call. In the HTML viewer, when you click on the link to child report, it opens in same window despite setting
sWindow=new
in that opendoc call. Thereby losing parent report and no way to navigate back to it. This problem does not happen in ActivX viewer.There it seems to obey the command to open in new window.
Lastly you can recreate all this behavior by setting your viewer preferences in Info View settings.
So, here's my questions.
1. Should I use the .Net viewer instead of ActiveX Viewer ? If so, where can I find Syntax for the same ?
2. Can someone point me to documentation on the ActiveX Viewer ? Specifically making it not to Pop Up the Parameter Screen ?
3. Should the Java application use a different method other than Open Doc to cal the reports ? If so where can I get the details ?
Apologies for the long post. I tried to anticipate most of the questions that may arise in your mind. Thanks in advance for the time invested.

Thank you Adam for the help.
I already have the Open Document document you mentioned. Can't seem to search for the KB article in Marketplace. No results found.
Just to clarify, I do not want to avoid the Parameter screen. Its the fact that it Pops Up in ActiveX viewer is the issue. The only thing I want in ActiveX viewer is to make that screen appear in main window just like HTML viewer.
I understand that there is no difference as far as opendoc is concerned between .Net or JAVA. I am looking for the SDK behind the viewers themselves.
To my third question, your answer is what I was looking for. But need a bit clarification.

> If you do not like the functionality that OpenDocument provides, you could use the SDK to view the reports, but you will likely run into the same issue as you are running into when using the html viewer. The only workaround for that is to set a property on the viewer object in the SDK but it will affect all hyperlinks in the report not just a single one.
By setting Property in SDK for the viewer Object, are you referring to Meta Tag encapsulation such as

May be I didn't get your point with setting property. I know there is documentation on Viewer SDK. I just can't seem to find it. I hope it would answer the questions.

ComboBox control for Crystal Reports

Does anyone know if there are combobox style controls that can be used in crystal reports? We're using Business Objects XI R2 and Crystal Reports Developer XI to create the reports. Reports are delivered via Infoview.The reports we're creating in Crystal has account number as an input parameter/prompt for the report. Some of our releationships have few hundreds to 1000 accounts. So the usability of a normal HTML SELECT control degrades pretty fast. A combobox would allow the user to type in partial names and scroll to that particular value. E.g.: The search on Google Suggest <a href="http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en">http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en</a>Does WebElements have any control that can be used? Or are there 3rd party controls that are similar?Thanks

Hi,
I am looking for a Crystal Add-In to display a string that comes into my report as an array. I am using the Crystal JOIN function to get the elements, separate them by a comma and display them in a text object. This has worked well until I started working on a new report that returns many medication names as members of the array. Displaying them in the text box with "Can Grom" Checked has become quite messy, as this text box is in the Report Header section.
What I would like to do is display them as a ComboBox (or dropdown, if that is the same thing) with the first medication showing (say Aspirin) and then the user can click on the drop down and see the rest of the medications in the array (Tylenol, etc.)
This is display only data.
It seems like the Crystal Report Webelements might do the trick. I have some questions:
1 - Even though the link says you can incorporate web web controls onto your Crystal Report will this be visible from Crystal itself? The reason I ask is that we use a custom Report Viewer that basically renders on a web page what Crystal displays
2 - Do WebElements contain the ComboBox I am looking for?
Thanks,
Dick Rosenberg
