Crystal Report y C++ Builder 2009

Buenas, Gente estoy buscando información acerca de como utilizar Crystal Report XI en C++ Builder 2009, por favor si alguien tiene informacion que me pueda compartir, lo agradeceria mucho.
Saludos.

Just an FYI. These forums are English only please.
I understand that you want to be able to use CR XI in C++ Builder 2009. Never having used C++ Builder 2009 with CR, I can only suggest that you should be able to use the Crystal Reports Report Designer Component (RDC). For more info see C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Crystal Reports 11\Developer Files\Help\En\CrystalDevhelp.chm (if using CR 11.0) or C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Crystal Reports 11.5\Help\en\rdcsdk_com_dg_doc\doc\rdcsdk_com_dg.chm (if using CR 11.5).

Crystal Reports for Eclipse - Builds wrong query for Ingres

An Ingres user tries to use Crystal Reports for Eclipse with Ingres database. I am attaching here-with the related Ingres forum posting ( http://community.ingres.com/forum/database-drivers-apis/2567-jdbc-crystal-reports-eclipse.html ). Based on further research it appears that the crystal reports engine generates a wrong SQL query for Ingres when the table fields are dragged and dropped from the Field Explorer view to a newly created crystal report. Examining the contents of the table from the Data Explorer view seems to work just fine. Any thoughts/pointers on this issue is greatly appreciated.

Usha

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the Java Development - Crystal Reports Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly

Crystal Report and SAP BW and BOE Server

Hi,
I have installed the following on my local PC:
1) Crystal Report (51038906 CRYSTAL REPORTS 2008 V1 SP3 Win Server on IA32 32bit) on my local machine.
2) SAP Integration Kits XI 3.1 SP3 (follow Ingo's document, but under the "Component", I only select the "Client" as I installed this on my local machine)
In Crystal Report, I can build new report on top of SAP BW Query. I can save into BW System via menu SAP ->Save as
In Crystal Report, menu File ->Save as, there I have the option Enterprise. When I click on the Enterprise, I can logon and save the crystal report into the BOE folder that I created, but encountered this error:
Failed to commit objects to server:
Create operation fails
Do you know what's the problem?
At the moment, I have installed BOE XI 3.1 SP2 and SAP Integration Kits XI 3.1 SP2 on the BOE Server. Do you think this is the cause of the problem (I am using SAP Integration Kits XI 3.1 SP3 on my local PC)?
Any help will be appreciated.

To start with there is no SP1 for XI 3.1
The version number 12.x.y.z can be read as follows:
12 means that you have BusinessObjects XI 3.something
x is the Service Pack Number. If x=1 this means that BOE XI 3.1 is installed. XI 3.1 is considered to be BO XI 3.0 with SP1.
z is the number of fix pack.Note that 0 means that you do not have any Fix Pack installed.
So if you see something like:
12.2.4.z
you can assume that you have BO XI 3.1 with SP 2 and FIx Pack 2.4 installed
In your case
12.1.0.z
means that you have BOE XI 3.1 installed.

Stratos

Crystal reports XI SP2

Ok - so i have developed a lot of reports with CRXI, SP2 in VS2008
I deploy these to the windows 2008 machine which has the _2005 MSI redistribution packages installed
If i'm on the machine (Terminal server into it), I get the reports -
If I use the web browser from my dev machine (or any others for that matter) I get these messages - what permissions do i need to set on IIS 7 to make these work????????????????

Crystal Report 2008 error in generating existing reports

HI,
I have just now migrated my server from Win 2003, 32 bit to Win 2003, 64 bit. I was holding a valid license in the old server. Using the Product key and the registration number, I installed Crystal Report 2008 SP3 Build in the new server since Crystal report is supported in 64 bit version too. Now, while generating the existing reports from my application, I am getting error in event viewer as-
"The description for Event ID ( 4353 ) in Source ( Crystal Reports ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: The keycode assembly, BusinessObjects.Licensing.KeycodeDecoder.dll, cannot be loaded."
Can someone please suggest me how to resolve this error? Actually, while opening the crystal report from application, a pop-up comes as - "Internet Explorer Script error......._pe is undefined......Do you want to continue with this? " If I say Yes/No, it opens up the required page but drop down does not contain any info and 'OK' or 'CANCEL' button does not appear....
I need to solution ASAP. Please help.
Thanks
kmoondra

Crystal report is supported in 64 bit version too
Support on 64 bit OS does not necessarily mean that the product is 64 bit. E.g.; CR 2008 (12.x) is still only 32 bit. Only CRVS2010, CR 10.2 and CR 10.5 come in both 32 bit and 64 bit flavors.
If you are using 32 bit Crystal Report, make sure your app is compiled as 32 bit, not "Any CPU". If you compile as "Any CPU" the 64 bit oS will want 64 bit runtime for the app by definition. This will fail as there is no 64 bit runtime for CR 2008. E.g.; follow the advice in Don's post.

Crystal Report XI: Can you write your query in SQL instead of using the GUI

Hello
In crystal report version XI, can you write your query in sqlplus and then use the crystal report designer to build your report instead of using the GUI . I would like to be able to go database and show sql query and open that query and make changes directly there, is that possible on this version, if yes is there a setting somewhere? Please let me know.
Thank you

Problem Change SAP Query in Crystal Reports

Hi,
i have a problem with changing a SAP Query in an Crystal Reports.
I build a Report with a Query(1) and Design the Report complet everything works fine.
I make a new Query(2) and if i make a new Crystal Report with this new Query everything works fine.
Now my problem is i would like to use the design of the first report. Therefore i open the first report and save it under a new name. Delete all Database fields and delete the database connection.
Now i gave in the new database connection to the new query(2) and in the Database fields i see a lot of Fields but not the right ones. Its completly wrong. Is there anybody how know this problem?????

Hi i solved my problem by myself.
I have to set Query as external available and have to use the MDX Query.
Its strange because if i build a new report the query dont have to be set as external available.

Deploying a crystal report - options

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this question, but I've gone through all the other forums and though this looked like the best fit. Apologies if this isn't the case.
What I'm hoping to find out though is what options are available to me to run an existing crystal report on a number of other systems. To give abit of background I work for a company that has around 140 stores across Australia. We currently use a thin client POS system at the stores and there has come a need to use another reporting facility, and we're hoping Crystal Reports will meet that criteria. The need is to allow the stores to view reports locally without having to rely on a server.
We are planning on purchasing the full version of Crystal Reports designer to build the reports themselves at Head Office (we are currently using the Trial version to see if we can accomplish the results we need) but the hurdle we face at the moment is how the stores themselves will actually run the reports and view the results on their end.
Our initial line of thinking was that the reports would use an XML based datasource and the sample reports that we have built are structured on that as well. The XML datasource would be refreshed from the Thin Client system onto the stores local directory whenever a report is ran. What we don't know is how to run the Crystal Report using that datasource without using some additional third party programs (or even something like a C# application acting as the middleman).
We aren't even sure if this is the best approach or if there's another option, but essentially we are looking to see what options are available to run a .rpt file locally. We've looked at the CrystalReportsViewer freeware application and we're not sure if that meets our requirements (it didn't seem to actively point to the XML datasource, and also had a fair amount of popups and external links).
I'm hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction. If you need any other information then let me know.
Thanks

Hello
I really like your questions. Much better to get those out of the way now than after you've jumped over the cliff LOL
Re. the size of the dataset and XML. One thing I forgot is that you could use a direct connection to an XML, but do ensure that you are using the crdb_adoplus.dll driver (). The crdb_xml.dll driver () converts all data types to string (for what ever reason...) which often leads to issues.
Now to your questions.
if the XML datasource was to always reside in c:Data.XML then the viewer would update accordingly to reflect any changes to that datasource?
- Yes this will be fine. Actually in this case it will be the engine reading the report and the report has that info stored internally.
But remember you do have the option of changing the path as per the KB in my previous post.
Also a quick question about the SDK's. Do they work with the express version of Visual Studio or would they require the full version?
- The CR SDK does not integrate with the express version of VS .NET.

The Developer help files also discuss these. But in you r case, as I read your posts, it looks to me like this will be a pretty simple / vanilla kind of application. If the XML will always be in the same location and the reports do not need any selection formula, parameters, etc., passed to them, the code could be as simple as:
Dim crReportDocument As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument()
'Load the report
crReportDocument.Load("<path to your report>")
'Bind the report to the viewer
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crReportDocument
crReportDocument.Close
crReportDocument.Dispose

Universe based on SAP BW in Crystal Reports

Hello everybody.
Yesterday I've visited the CeBIT.
Here I've talked to other colleges working on BO issues.
We're using the Version BO Enterprise XI 3.0. In this version it is not possible to use Universes in Crystal Reports 2008 that base on SAP BW content.
A college showed me Polestar XI 3.1.
I've asked him if this problem from above is solved in the XI 3.1 version of BO.
He did not know exactly.
So could someone tell me, if it is possible in BO Enterprise XI 3.1 to use Universes in Crystal Reports that were build on SAP BW content?
Thanks in advance.
Sebastian

Hi everybody,
we are discussing about that fact in another thread.
I would appreciate if you join the discussion under:
OLAP universes and Crystal Reports
Thank you for any comments

Crystal Reports with TimeSlips by Sage

Is anyone using Crystal Reports 2008 with Timeslips 2009 or 2010? I am having a lot of trouble with joins- whenever I have three or more tables, the data is limited, no matter how I set up the joins. I currently have them set up so that the User Names, Client Names, and Activity Names all link to the Slips table. The link order determines the results I get:
If I combine User Names, Client Names, and Slips, with User Names to Slips as the first link, I get all records for one client, regardless of the User ID. If I swap the order, I get all records for one user, regardless of Client ID. Unfortunately, I want to be able to start with all slips, with their associated information, then add filters.
I'm not having this problem with other databases.

Yes, after CR 8.5 we completely re-did the database drivers and removed all customized "fixes" and now leave it up to those third party DB driver makers to fix their own drivers.
Sage may have their own DB driver and with personel changes over the years they typically say it's a CR issue not knowing they are responsible for front line support. Just remind them they are responsible and to check with their OEM account Manager to confirm. I've been supporting OEM Partners fro 12+ years now so I do know.
Once you get connected to the data and need help designing reports we can do that for you but we cannot help you to get around any database security or proprietory connectivity issues. If Sage doesn't support it we can't either.
And if they have not updated from CR 10 then they likely either dropped CR and Timeslip completely and/or they are in the process of upgrading their application to the current SDK and report versions.
If they have problems ask them to create a case on line and make a note to check with me and this forum post and I'll work with that person to do what I can to get them to support you, if they still support it. Sage is still a psrtner of ours.
Thanks again

Views on CF Report Builder and Crystal Report

Dear all,
I would like to get your opinions on CF Report Builder and
Crystal Report.
As we all know, CF Report Builder is a new reporting tool.
But I find it very difficult to design a complex report maybe due
to limitation in its functionalities. Sometimes the tool shutdowns
by itself without any warning and reason. But the output is nicely
presented on a flash paper / pdf and it can be run on non-MS
platforms.
On the other hand, Crystal Report is a more matured product
but runs only on MS platform. It is very easy to use and very
powerful. I have been using it for almost 10 years. But the output
is not nicely presented on the web browser unless if we purchase
Crystal Report Enterprise to generate the report which is very
costly.
Can you all share your views? I need to make decision which
tool(s) to use. Really appreciate it.
Cheers,
Keiko

Hi Keiko,
Yes, CF Report builder is new and initially there was few
issues with this. But I guess now it's good after hotfixes.
Well, I am using CF Report Builder. It's good for me. You can
also design and develop complex reports, that depends upon the
query you are writing. You can also add subreports to your main
reports.
Mainly CF Report is platform independent and you can also
generate reports in PDF, EXCEL and FlashPaper.
Crystal Report is no doubt is very good, and it's there for
long years. I agree you can create complex reports with this, but
you also can do the same in CF also. You are using this for last 10
years, so I guess you should try something new and that is CF
Report Builder and you can judge then.
I am sure you will have fun with CF.
Thanks

Incorporating Crystal Reports for Eclipse into a Maven build

Is there a way to support or work around Maven dependencies for Crystal Reports?
I'm working on a project in MyEclipse 8.5 and building it into an ear file using the integrated Maven support.
We just recently started incorporating Crystal Reports into our project, and I have all the jar files in the WebINF\lib folder and the crystalreportviewers folder in the project as well and when I run the reports and viewers from jsp pages it works fine because Maven doesn't actually compile those. The problem is that I need to run scheduled reports in the background without ever showing anything to the user but whenever I try to access crystal reports directly in my java servlet classes my import line
import com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.document.*;
throws the following error:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.0.2:compile (default-compile) on project webui: Compilation failure: Compilation failure:
C:\...SchedulingServlet.java:[17,0]package com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.document does not exist
Even if I'm not doing anything with it.
I'm still new to Maven, jsp, and Crystal Reports, so any suggestions would be awesome.

I get that error without even having any .prt files in the project.
having the import statement alone throws that error

Pls Help: View Crystal Report Via Oracle Form Builder

Hi!!
I want to know how to view the .rpt report (report made from Crystal Report) via Oracle Form Builder. I've to do it in my project. If you know, please tell me.
Thanks in advance,

I don't know how does crystal reports work, and I would guess you should ask the crystal guys to help you with this. find out if they have a command line interface that you can invoke from the host command in forms.
We can help you do it with Oracle Reports though :-)

How to build Table of Content in Crystal Reports

Hi,
Initially, I am looking for an article about how to build Table of Content in Crystal Reports in table-based approach----including how to write to DB table from report:
http://support.businessobjects.com/library/kbase/articles/c2011950.asp
However, the link above is invalid. I also searched through SDN articles, but no luck.
Can someone please forward me the link if you happend to know?---does not have to link to this specific article, any working solution is just fine.
I am aware of another approach which put the TOC to the end of the report(http://www.ml-consult.co.uk/cryst-05.htm), which probably does not satisfy the requirement.
If you have other solutions, your share is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a ton!
