Crystal Reports 10 - Cannot make new report

I am having problems creating a report in Crystal Reports 10. I have the same settings in the OBDC as another machine. Theirs is working properly. I can refresh but cannot create a new report. We are currently connected to the AS/400 system.
Thanks
Mario

Hi Mario,
What exactly happens when you try to create a new report? Do you get any specific error message?
Can you open previous reports without any problem?

I cannot make new purchases on Newsstand

The application does not allow me to make any new purchase. It suddenly stopped recognizing my Apple ID. I can still view old purchases with my Apple ID but I cannot make new ones. This is driving me crazy ! Has anybody come across this and do you know how to overcome the issue ? Thanks.

Hello, Mcath23.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
There are a couple things that I would recommend trying. Try closing all open applications and power cycle the device. Next, go through the section labeled Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in the second article below. If the issue persists, try completely signing out of the iTunes Store on the iOS device and sign back in. Be sure to test downloading the item in Newsstand after each step.
iOS: Force an app to close

Cannot make new notes in mail

Hello I can't make new notes in Mail.
The last thing I could do with notes was making a note and pasting a screenshot .png in it. When I wanted to open that note it kept loading for ever. I deleted all notes I had because none of them would load, but that made no difference.
Situation now is:
The button is visible but won't work, trying to create a new note via "archive>new note" doesnot work either.
I followed suggestions from other threads on this topic:
• rebuilded all my postboxes - no result
• resetted my mobile me sync settings - no result
• deleted my rss feeds in mail - no result
My colleague has the same problem, what we have in common is we both use iphones synced with mobile me, and received rss feeds in mail (I deleted this function in mail to check if thats the problem - but that didn't make a difference).
Stays the iphone-syncing or something else I am not aware of.
Has anyone a suggestion?
It would be great help!

I noticed this problem with Notes being inaccessible on my Macs a few weeks ago and just now took the time to track down the reason. Thanks to everyone on this thread, in particular PlanetLingo and M1CH43L.
It seems that iOS 4.3 added a new default font for Notes called "Noteworthy." I think the problem arrises for those of us who sync iOS devices and our Macs through MobileMe and include Notes and Preferences in the sync. I think the font switch and subsequent sync of Preferences cause the Mac to default to a font it doesn't have, which then causes all the problems.
Quck fix: Change the Notes preference on your iOS devices to use one of the alternate fonts: Helvetica or Marker Felt. As long as the one you choose is available on our Macs, the problem should go away.
A search of the web doesn't reveal an Apple version of Noteworthy available for the Mac. If anyone finds one, please post here. Thanks.

My new gift card cannot make new purchases?

My new gift card, I am not able to make new purchases?

Very vague.
Did you redeem it?
Do you see your balance in the top right corner of itunes?
Have you tried to buy something?
What happens?
Any info?

My "top sites" no longer display and I cannot make new ones appear. Why?

I used to have Top Sites capability where my favorite websites were displayed as icons on one page so I could easily click the icon and go to that page. They disappeared in the last month and I cannot get them back nor can I create them again using the "add to top sites" tool at the top of the page. Why?

Do you mean the about:newtab page or a special page created by an extension?
See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):

Since updating to FF 3.6.12 on my iMac, I have lost all my bookmarks, cannot make new bookmarks and cannot import from a saved bookmarks.html file, even after re-installing the program.

Running under mac OS X 10.5.8
Menu bar is present
Torbutton extension not present
Navigation buttons did not work, until I re-isntalled FF
FF "unable to restore backup file "- applies to all bookmark backup files
I next tried importing the bookmarks.html file I created last year to export them to my new notebook. 3.6.12 fails to import them back again.
The home page set in my preferences does not now come up when I load FF.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Cannot save Crystal report layout or view new layout of report

I am trying to make a change to a system crystal report (cust. recievables detailed aging). I had to make the date feild a little wider, so I edited the "system layout" that came with SAP (in my test DB of course), and I go to add-ins>sap business one>save. I get the following error "current user has no permissions for this operation". I am logged in as a superuser and full perm.
If I "save-as" and save it to a layout in sap....when I go to open the aging with my newly created layout it freezes and asks for DB logon info to connect to my server from crystal. I do not normally have to do this when I preview my reports in the out of the box layouts. WHat am I doing wrong? I am new to crystal.

The system will not allow me to export the system crystal report....it is grayed out, and it IS a crystal report. HOwever I can open it in crystal, then save it to my desktop, then from INSIDE of SAP in the report and layout manager I import the crystal report I made the changes to from my desktop into SAP and it saves and imports no problems. However when I go to view the report (and this is only the ones I import), it prompts me with the db login for our server to connect, and it is only with that report, once I enter sa credentials it is fine and shows up from there on in, but not if I log out of SAP and back in...then I have to put in my credentials again. Is this something having to do with the report when I make changes to it? I cant have users entering login info each time they run the new aging details report. Please advise what I may be doing wrong when I make changes to a crystal report. It was a very minor change....just moved a feild width.

Cannot see data in infotype when creating new Crystal Report

Dear Experts,
I have installed SAP Crystal Report 2011 trial version. After many weeks of trying to install CR2011 and making it work, i finally able to connect to SAP R/3 (ECC5.0).
The problem is after choosing the table (eg. PA0002) and selecting field "employee number", "name", "start date", "end date" and other fields and selecting preview, the report only show "employee number", "start date" and "end date".
The rest of the fields in PA0002 is showing BLANKS. I check in backend R/3 and the data is there.
I also tried choosing "Mandt", the field is also showing blank in report preview.
My basis team has done the following:
1. Performing ABAP imports
2. Grant authorisation for crystal report connection
But still the fields above is not showing.
Any clue?
Thank in advance,
Zul

HI Zul,
Its clearly the problem with the version of crystal you are using
you have mentioned that you are using crystal 2011 and the ECC is SAP R/3 5.0
Because crystal 2011 is only compatible with latest ECC client like 6.0 and above ...
Solution are :-
1.) you can upgrade the connectivity driver with the ECC
or
2.) you can use 2008 crystal report tool to connect the table , so can find the missing feilds
Please try this and let me know you are able to fix this
Thank you

Database fields empty after creating a new (Crystal) Report in MSY

Hello,
I have some issues to use Crystal Reports in Mobile Sales Maintenance (MSY). The situation is as follows
My example is based on this standard report, which is working
Report Name: BPartnerActivities
Reporting Tool: Crystal Reports
Category: Standard reports
Subcategory: Lists
Report Type: Report
Data Source: Business Content provider
Business Content Provider: BPActivities
My requirement is to build a new report, which is based on the standard "BPartnerActivities" Report. If I use the "copy" functionality, I get an working Copy of the standard report. However, I need to modify the Business Content Provider, but I do not want to make the modifications on the standard content provider "BPActivities".
I am now forced to used the "copy" functionality to create a copy from "BPActivities" for my own Content Provider "My BPActivities copy", which I want to use in a new report.
Issue:
I cannot modify the defined Business Content Provider after using the "copy" functionality and hence forced to create a new report from scratch to be able to set a different Content Provider.
I create my own report "MyBPartnerActivities" based on the standard report "BPartnerActivities" using the same settings and assign my new business content provider.
If I use the "Design Report" or "Modify Report" button, the Crystal Report designer pops up. Now the problem, the Crystal Report designer does not offer me any data below "Database fields".
In the standard report, the "Database fields" has a child element "BOACTIVITY-ttx" with several field options. My own created report from sratch does now have anything?!
Why my report does not offer my any data or is there anything additional to do?
Another Test
I tried to create another report using the standard content provider "BPActivities", but I have still the same issue.
In addition I recongized that the "browse data" fuctionality does not work on the fields in the standard report. The path to the database file does not exist. It starts with "C:\WINNT\...", but my system has "C:\WINDOWS\...". But the executed report is able to retriev the data?!
Unfortunately was not able to find any proper documentation, but I would really appreciate any help.
Regards,
Andreas

Update
It looks like that the *.ttx file is not uploaded/create to/on the MSY system. The system shows the file in the Crystal Report Designer, but there is no file on the file system. The confusing thing is, that any standard report is still working and does not really complain about a missing ttx file. I think the content of the ttx file is somehow embeded to the report.
Does someone know how the system should behave? Should a ttx file be automatically created & assigned to any new report or do I have to create the file by my own every time?
Cheers,
Andreas

Crystal Reports 2011 cannot see Excel 2007 as an export type

I just installed/updated to cr2011. Installation went fine, and i did not get any problems. I am able to run all my previous reports, and if i makes chamges to a report and save, i do get asked "do you want to save it with the latest report format"
My version is 14.0.2.364RTM
When i click export, i do not see EXCEL 2007 or any other new types, i know are included for cr2011.
Is there anything else i need to download ? cr2011 runtimes ? or remove or configure ?
thanks

Abhilash, thank you.
I have another quick question, and if i need to open a new post i can.
I have CRD by ChristianStevenSoftware, which we use to automate and schedule/deliver our reports.
When i upgraded to cr2011, i was told by CristianSteven software, that i had to select the correct CRYSTAL RUNTIMES.
They have a gui to use for the user to "Chang Crystal Version". when i used it, i was presented with a dialog box, which
had Crystal Reports 2011(13.xx) as the latest. I slected this option as i assumed they though 13.xx was correct for 2011( i know 14.xx is what i have installed.
Anyway i did not get an error when upgrading to 13.xx, but when i started CRD, i got an error.
The CRD developer says :-
The install that is in the picture looks like the installation of the crystal reports 2011 applicaton,
not the runtimes. The runtimes should be a seperate installation, please let me know if you
see any installations under add/remove programs that is labeled:
--SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4
That should be the name showing for the 2011 runtimes. If you cannot find it in the add/remove programs, you should be able to download the runtimes from the SAP.Com website.
I do not see SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4
Can i download them from SAP site as he suggests ?
Thanks in advance, John

Can not view/schedule Crystal Reports in new BOE XI 3.0 Installation

Hello,
I'm having an issue on a brand new installation of BusinessObjects XI 3.0 on AIX 5.2 (using WebSphere 6.0). Installation went smoothly and migration went fine. Can log in, pull up CMC, InfoView (all other apps). But scheduled Crystal Reports (as well as viewing Crystal Report thru InfoView) are failing with the following errors (which to me seem interrelated):
*(1) Error in File ~cec0c55d91e0e015.rpt: The request could not be submitted for background processing*
*(2) Error in Report XXX: Failed to load database information*
*(3) An error occurred while creating a subprocess in the processing server. [RCIRAS0604]*
These three errors indicate to me that the report engines are having issues opening the files, pulling the data and generating the reports. We've checked to make sure that the account that BOE is running under has all the permissions it needs - and it has.
I just turned on tracing (-trace) on the report job processing servers and I'm watching the logs as I retrace my steps...
Any ideas? Would appreciate any feedback...
Thanks,
Will

Turns out this is a pretty nasty issue on Unix environments. Being that the BOE application is developed on Windows then ported to Unix environments, the services (daemons) still end up depending on an emulated registry (MainWin) sort of like in a Windows environment.
For some reason (we're still trying to figure this out), the BOE registry entries got corrupted and then started preventing the processing servers (which in the case of CR ultimately depend on CRPE - Crystal Reports Print Engine) from opening up and processing CR files.
We engaged BusinessObjects/SAP support and have been able to resolve this issue on our test AIX system. The resolution included deleting all the mainwin (mw) tmp directories and files in the root temp directory and also in the
/bobje/enterprise120/aix_rs6000/crpe>
directory. Then we stopped all BOE services and reran the MW script to regenerate registry entries. This repair was a pretty intricate multi-step process. The SAP Technical Rep who worked on this case is writing a knowledge base article (an SAP note). Once I get details, I'll update this post.
The good news about this issue is that the upcoming SP1 of XI 3.0 removes the dependency on the mw registries...

Crystal Report not listed Add New Item for Visual Studio 2010

I just finished installing cryestal report for visual studio 2010.
During the installation a visual studio error dialog popped up "Operation cannot be completed. Access Denied", the crystal report installation continued and was informed that the installation was successful.
But on opening my visual studio project to add new item, crystal report item is not listed there.
Is there anything that needs to be done to get it listed in the Add New Item dialog for visual studio?

I wonder what file you ran to install CRVS2010? Was it the MSI as opposed to the actual install file?
The link to the correct install is here:
http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/cr4vs2010/CRforVS_13_0_2.exe
Is that the file you ran to install CRVS2010? E.g. as opposed to:

"The process cannot access the file ..." occurs when export crystal report

We are using a web application developed in VS 2005, .NET 2.0 with the bundled Crystal Reports version 10.2.3600.0 running on a Windows 2003 Standard server with 4GB Ram and Dual CPU's. Periodically we are still receiving the following error in our production environment:
InnerException:
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
   at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.ReportSourceClass.Export(ExportOptions pExportOptions, RequestContext pRequestContext)
   at CrystalDecisions.ReportSource.EromReportSourceBase.ExportToStream(ExportRequestContext reqContext)
   at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.FormatEngine.ExportToStream(ExportRequestContext reqContext)
   at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.ExportToStream(ExportOptions options)
   at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.ExportToStream(ExportFormatType formatType)
This is occuring at the point on the code where the report is being exported to a PDF. Exporting the report to Excel does not appear to cause the error.
                Stream outStream = report.ExportToStream(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat);
                byte[] charStream = new byte[outStream.Length];
                outStream.Read(charStream, 0, (int)outStream.Length);
                if ((charStream != null) && (charStream.Length > 0))
                    HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
                    HttpContext.Current.Response.OutputStream.Write(charStream, 0, charStream.Length);
                    HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
            report.Close();
            report.Dispose();
            ds.Dispose();
            GC.Collect();
Closing and disposing of the report and dataset (xsd) are followed by a call for garbage collection. We are unable to produce the error in our development environmennt and have not at this point been unable to pinpoint a problematic report. The development team members do have SP1 installed. The report limit has not been changed from the standard of 75 jobs. Reviewed the following document, Re: "The process cannot access the file ..." occurs when export crystal report However this applies to VS 2008. Any suggestions to resolve the issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

To answer your questions:
Is it correct to presume that the physical number of CPU's is not factored into the CPL? So that a Server with 2 or more processors does not increase the 3 concurrent requests? Therefore 2 CPU's would not increase the CPL limit to 6 processes?
- Server with 2 or more processors does not increase the 3 concurrent requests.
What would be an alternate solution to this limit be, considering the report requests could increase significantly?
- Only way around this would be to web farm the solution
If only only 3 reports can be processed at the same time. If one or more of the reports currently processing is taking longer due to receiving large amounts of data, how does that affect the queue? And what is stored in the queue, data and/or the report? Is this something that could consume memory?
- The report can take as much time as it needs. The result is that one license will not be released until the report is done. There is no data stored, just a pointer to the report. However queued apps will chew up memory, some times to the point of the server becoming unresponsive
I have read in the documentation on this site, that the dataset sent to the engine is copied in memory during report construction. So if a large amount of data is requested for a report (as an example 10+ MB) Could enough users requesting reports drive the memory up because memory usage doubled due to the dataset?
- Absolutely. See [Crystal Reports Guide to ADO.NET|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/401c4455-a31d-2b10-ae96-fa57af5aec20].
Understanding the the CR DLL's are loaded on the first report request, do they get released at some point time due to inactivity or garbage collection? How much memory usage could be consumed when they load and stay resident?
- No they do not. Not as long as the application is running.

New install of Crystal report 10 Enterprise.

My web server crashed. I had to do new install of it including CR10.
I have several hundred rpt files that ran fine on the old install for many years. So long ago, i forgot some of the setup issues.
Server 2003. .net framework 2.0 Visual Studion 2003 Crystal Report 10
I installed every componet of Crystal Report 10 and the embedded Enterprise CD.
The Enterprise configuration took shows the WWW cleint and all it's dependecies running.
I get the following error message when I try to run an RPT.

It is already registered.
I looked at te componet manager and cannot find any Com componets for Crystal report.

Cannot Extract Embedded Font in PDF Report Generated Using Crystal Reports XI

The issue is that sometimes the PDF reports generated by Crystal Report XI are not showing the fonts properly. Arial font is used in the Crystal report template(.rpt file) for field label and data elements. When the report is opened in Adobe Reader, it displays the message - "Cannot extract the embedded font 'AAAAAA+ArialBold'. some characters may not display or print correctly." Other PDF Readers like Foxit show blank spaces instead. I tried to change the font to Courier New, Times New Roman etc but still getting the same message.
The issue is consistent when the application is deployed in Windows server. When deployed in Unix server the issue happens very occasionally. The font files are available and installed in the UNIX box.
Please tell me why this error message is shown and also tell me how to get it fixed.

Hi Scot
Just replied to your email re. conf call.
In the meantime.
1st question.
    Some of our developers are creating the reports under crystal 2008, while some are 2011.
    Could this be a problem, when they are run by the SDK?
    Should we upgrade all our developers to crystal 2011?
The version of CR a report is created in should not matter at all. I am 100% certain this is not the issue.
2nd question
    When the report is run, to create the pdf... why would it actually embed the font on the pdf?
    if they weren't embedded.. wouldn't it just pull up the proper font, if the user's pc had that font on their
    pc?
    if it does the common fonts aren't embedded, we would just have to worry about the things like
    barcode 3 of 9
I can not answer this as that essentially is the way the product is designed. It may look like a limitation, but there are no work-arounds and I would not consider this to be a bug. Perhaps an enhancement, but a pretty faint hope there. And even if, enhancements take very, very low priority and take long, long time before implementation.
3rd question
    Would the fonts, just need to be installed on the server?   we've seen some indication, that they
    also need to be in a java sub-directory
The fonts must be on the server as that is where the report engine does it's work, then the report is streamed to the user's browser. E.g.; there is no work done on the browser. Also, the process must have rights to access the fonts.
One last point. You mention deployment to Linux. Linux is not supported. Please see: SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Microsoft Visual Studio - Supported Platforms
I suspect this is more an issue with CR not working with the framework for Linux.
