Crystal Reports 2008 and Crystal Enterprise 10

I am currently running crystal reports 10 (CR 10) and crystal enterprise 10 (CE 10). I would like to upgrade CR 10 to CR 2008 but keep CE 10. Will CR 2008 work with CE 10? Can I publish CR 2008 to CE 10?

Hello Dan,
There is no expectation that this would work, and it would not be supported by SAP Business Objects.

How to open the crystal reports 2008 in CRYSTAL REPORTS ENTERPRISE 4.0

Hi All,
Can you please let me know how can migrated the crystal reports from BO XI 3.1 to SAP BO 4.1 and after migrate how to open the crystal reports 2008 in CRYSTAL REPORTS ENTERPRISE 4.0.
can you please help on this and if document please share.
Thanks,
Rajesh

Use the upgrade management tool to move from 3.1 reports to BO 4.1. After migration, open the report in crystal enterprise 4.0, you will get a message saying that the report will be converted to latest version, will not be able to view from older version after converting. (Similar words- not sure exact words).

Migration from Crystal Reports 2008 to Crystal reports Enterprise(BOE 4.0)

Dear all ,
I m currently doing a project on Crystal reports 2008 where datasource is mostly SAP BW queries. Our customer will have BOE 4.0 in coming months . I have heard that in BOE 4.0 Crystal reports for Enterprise will be a better option for BW datasources.Is that true? So here comes my question , Is it possible to migrate reports based on Crsytal reports 2008 to Crystal reports for Enterpise 4.0 afterwards. What will be best option for us , shall we build further reports on Crystal reports 2008 or Crystal reports 2011 or should wait until we have BOE 4.0 ?
Thanks
Best regards

Hi,
We are going through the migration process from 2008 to Enterprise version. The only issue we are facing is the mapping of the Hierarchy nodeid and parentid. Other than that we were able to migrate most of the pieces from the report.
Here is the overview of migration process:
1. When you run the upgrade manager to migrate objects from BOE 3.1 to 4.0 it will automatically upgrade it to CR 2011 version.
2. You then have option to migrate it manually by opening the report in Enterprise version.
3. If you open the report in Enterprise version it will prompt you to connect to common semantic layer wizard.
4. Before that you have to have your datasource ready for that report depends on how your CR 2008 is connected. (can be BEx query or Relational Universe)
5. If its BEx query you have to maintain the connection in CMC under OLAP connection to your BW system.
6. Next thing is to map the Source fields to Target fields (BEx query or Relation Universe via IDT) and your report will be converted to Enterprise version.
7. You might have to resolve if there are any errors.
Let me know if you have any particular questions if i can help.
Thanks.

Crystal Reports 2008 with BO Enterprise XI 3.1

Hi All,
We are in the process of implementing CR2008 with BO Enterprise XI 3.1.
We have completed the installation successfully. We can connect from CR2008 client desktop directly to BI-7 using the BO SAP Connector. But We have the following issues,
1) On CMC (OB Ent Server) we don't see any business object related roles in the list of values under the authorization. We see 3 J2EE related roles only. We did everything according to the documentation. Changed JCO (sapjco.jar) along with the DLLs to various versions and even changed the 64bit to 32bit but no luck. Classpath is also set in Tomcat but still we don't see any of the BO related roles.
2) We have created a connection to universe using Designer (BO Ent). But when we try to connect from CR2008 to universe though the Business Object Enterprise Server using the client desktops, we can only select the fields for the query. But when we try to confirm the query we get a message saying NOT LOGGED ON.
Are we doing the right thing ? We have BI-7 installed on Windows 2003 (64 Bit Server) and BO Enterprise Server XI 3.1 and SAP Connector XI 3.1 Server was also installed on the same server. We have client desktops with Crystal Report 2008 with SAP Connector Client installed.
What are we missing ?
Appreciate if you could kindly help us to get this problem solved as this is dragging for a while now.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Thanks and Regards

Error on installation (Crystal Reports 2008 and Windows 7)

Hello,
I'm trying to install Crystal Reports 2008 on a Windows 7 laptop. Receiving Error 1904, Module C:\PROGRAM FILES\BUSINESS OBJECTS\BUSINESSOBJECTS ENTERPRISE 12.0\win32_x86\ReportConvTool.dll failed to register. This seems like a premissions error, but I have full admin rights on this system.
We are starting training next week and I need to get the software installed.
Any help you can provide would be great!
Thanks!

I have been looking and found the exact error above.
So 2 of us have it but as yet there is not a fix.
I understand that SP3 will help, but my problem at this second is I can not get the productr toload for the first time.
Thus I do not think I can apply SP3.
Or (which is possilbe) am I wrong
I will give it a go
Thanks

Two problmes between Crystal Reports 2008 and Bex Query

Hi Gurus.
I have two problems with Crystal Reports 2008 when It obtains data from a Bex Query (SAP MDX query connection).
1)     I have defined some Parameters Fields using the follow options:
Type: String
List of Values: Dynamic
Value Options Level1:
                     Show on (Viewer) Panel :Editable
                      Prompt text: <text>
                      Sort Order: Ascending by value
                      Prompt With description Only : False
                      Optional Prompt: True
                      Allow multiple values: True
                      Allow discrete values: True
                      Allow range values: False
When I execute the report with the client of Crystal Reports 2008 (the developer tool), in the initial screen shows a list box where I can select the values from the left box and add it to the left box (as a usually filter). When the number of options (LOV) is more than the maximum of the system, I have a input box bellow the list box, where I can insert any value (manually) and a button to insert it into the left box. When I publish the Report in the infoview, this filter is modified and the input box where I can introduce manually values is not showed and I can insert only the values showed in the list box, it causes that I can`t select a lot of values that is in the master data of SAP BW, because they arenu2019t listed in the list box.
There is any option to ability this option in the infoview.
2)     My Bex query, have a date filter with variable in the restricted key figures, when I execute a Crystal Reports, the infoview (and the Crystal Reports 2008 designer) ask me 2 times the same date, first only the date and second the date and the rest of parameters (introduced in the report of Crystal Reports).
Why I need insert the date 2 times? How can I modify the Crystal Report for ask me only one time all the parameters?.
Thanks.

Hi Abhilash.
Thank you for your information.
1) Yes, the parameters are created in the Crystal Reports designer. I have created the parameters in the Crystal Report because I use the same Bex Query to create some Crystal Report, in other case, I will need create some Bex Query.
2)The Bex query has the date filters and I have created some filters in Crystal Reports designer, the date filter from the Bex query is created automatically in the Crystal Report Designer but I don't use it, I haven't created it anytime. I use my filters only in the record selection. The date filters from the Bex query is showed as Static, and I can`t delete it, if I modify the parameter to dynamic or static with values, at first step ask me again static without values and the second step of the report execution ask me the parameter as I have defined in Crystal Reports Designer, my parameters fields are dynamic. A lot of reports have subreport, but I have created one of them without subreport (to trial) and the Crystal Reports ask me the date filters at first execution, and when I insert the date filters, in the second step, ask me the date filters again and my parameters fields again.
Thank you again.

Crystal Reports 2008 and Dynamic Images

Hello,
I have a windows .net application that uses a listing of items in a grid. The user selects an item then clicks the print button and that brings up a report viewer form and passes the photograph location in a parameter to the report document being loaded.
The first time that this report is printed, the image for the selected item is printed correctly. The next time the report is printed, the default image used to create the graphic object on the report is printed.
In addition if a user double clicks on the listing of items, a detail form is displayed. When the same report is printed from this screen, the default image used to create the graphic object on the report is printed.
This is happening in multiple .net windows applications.
Can anyone please give me an idea as to what may be causing this.
I am using Crystal Reports 2008 with Service Pack 2 installed.
Thanks

In the Crystal Report the Graphic Location formula field takes the {?MyPhotoLocation} + {Table.Photo} field to display the picture. I have placed the parameter and the photo field on the report and the correct data is in the fields.
This is the exact same form being opened and that displays correctly from the listing screen.

How to configure Crystal Reports 2008 and IIS7 and Windows Server 2008?

I have downloaded and installed the trial for Crystal Reports 2008 on our Windows 2008 server. I can open Crystal Reports on the server just fine, but I get HTTP 500 errors when I attempt to view a report hosted on that server via the web.
As far as I can tell, the handler mappings in IIS7 are not configured properly, although I confirmed that the Crystal Reports 2008 install did add several handlers. I read that I must configure the application pool to enable 32-bit applications. I did that and am still getting the same error. Documentation seems sparse and I've spent the better part of the day searching the forum here with no luck. What am I missing?

Don,
Thank you for the quick response!
We will ultimately be using ASPX/C#, but this simple case has a very basic report with no databind, just a single text label that reads "test succeeded" and I'm attempting to access it by direct URL (i.e. "http://192.168.99.21/crystalreportviewers12/test.rpt"). This works on our Windows 2000 server running Crystal Reports 8.
I've also tested with a simple test.aspx file with only the line "Response.Write(System.DateTime.Now.ToString())" and that works just fine. This file is in the same folder as the test.rpt file.
If I leave the Application Pool set for the "Integrated" managed pipeline mode, I continue to get a rather generic "500 - Internal server error". If I switch it to "Classic", I get the following error:
Failed to Execute URL.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Crystal Reports 2008 and BOXI3.1 issue

Hi,
Can somebody please help me finding a solution ?
Here is the Problem:
Environment Details DEV:
BOXI 3.1product version 12.1.0.882
Crystal Reports 2008
DB2 database.
Environment Details UAT BOX
BOXI 3.1product version 12.2.0.290
Crystal Reports 2008
DB2 database.
ISSUE Desc:
1. I have designed a crystal reports in whih I have two parameters of type string.
2. We are using this field to take inpuit from the user as a date field i.e. stardate and enddate in dd/mm/yyyy format (because Crystal default format is mm/dd/yyyy)
3. converting this string in crystal to date type using Date() function.
4. We are retrieving the records between startdate and enddate.
5. This reports works as per our expectation in Crystal Report and on our DEV BOXI. i.e viewing and scheduling from CMC works fine.
But doesnt on our UAT BOX.
1. Report viewing from CMC works but when we are scheduling the reports for same date the instance success but they show report without data. There is no error while scheduling.
2. Now, If I open the instance and try to reenter the startdate and enddate again having same date, then the instance show me the data.
the dd/mm/yyyy format is working while viewing on UAT but mm/dd/yyyy format is working for scheduling.
I am not able to understand why this is happening.
Can any SAP member help me out please.

Crystal Reports 2008 and Sharepoint Services in 64bit

Hi,
I have searched and post questions about the problems with the fact that thera are no great support for 64 bit. And still no solution. Why? Why? Why?
Now to my question. I have Crystal Reports 2008 in a Windows 2008 64 bit. Yes, I have got it running with the help of: Enable32bitAppOnWin64. But now to my problem...
I want to run Sharepoint Services 3.0 on the same server. But read on Microsoft.com:
The hardware and software requirements described in this article apply to both x32-bitu2013based and x64-bitu2013based systems. However, if you installed the 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008 and then modified the Enable32bitAppOnWin64 registry key so that Internet Information Server (IIS) is running in 32-bit emulation mode, you cannot install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. To install either 32-bit or 64-bit Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 you must run IIS in 64-bit mode.
Does this means that I cannot run my webapp and Sharepoint Services on the same machine just because you havent find any solution to the 64-bit problem? What to do???
/R

Raymond,
We have 64 bit runtime for Crystal Reports Basic that comes with Visual Studio .NET 2008. The version number for CR Basic is 10.5.
It sounds like you are out of luck if you want to use Crystal Reports XI R2 or Crystal Reports 2008 because there are no plans to release native 64 bit assemblies in those versions.

Crystal Reports 2008 and Postscript

Hello,
I think I have to start a new thread for this. Originally I described the problem here:
Printing Crystal Report to Postscript
Now we upgraded our Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005 to the latest version - CR 2008 SP0. We had purchased the full version to be able to print the postscript files correctly, without any prompts for the file name, because I've read that this was a bug in the old versions, but it had been fixed. But I still cannot do this.
I'm trying to print my reports to the postscript file:
PrinterSettings ps = new PrinterSettings();
ps.PrinterName = "TRADEPOSTSCRIPT";
ps.PrintFileName = txtPath.Text.Trim() + "
" + txtFormNo.Text.Trim() +
".ps";
ps.PrintToFile = true;
rpt.PrintOptions.CopyFrom(ps, ps.DefaultPageSettings);
rpt.PrintToPrinter(1, true, 0, 0);
I'm still getting prompt for the file name.
This doesn't make any sense - the path and file name are specified in my code. The whole project will be useless for us if the users will be getting prompts.
Could you please help me how to solve this issue?
Thank you,
Peter Afonin

Hi,
I am trying to print and specify a filename to a postscript printer as well. However, my version of crystal reports in Visual Studio 2008 does not come with this method....
reportDocument.PrintToPrinter(printerSettings, pageSettings, True) ?
I have checked and there does not exist an overloaded method in the object browser for this 'PrintToPrinter' method that would accept PrinterSettings object??
The only method I have is as below:
===============================
public virtual void PrintToPrinter(int nCopies, bool collated, int startPageN, int endPageN)
Member of CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
Summary:
Prints the specified pages of the report to the printer selected using the PrintOptions.PrinterName property. If no printer is selected, the default printer specified in the report will be used.
Parameters:
nCopies: Indicates the number of copies to print.
collated: Indicates whether to collate the pages.
startPageN: Indicates the first page to print.
endPageN: Indicates the last page to print.
===============================
My version is Crystal Reports Basic and is what comes with VS 2008 (not upgraded):
From the GAC:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, Version=10.5.3700.0
FileVersion: 10.5.0.1943

Please help.

Crystal Reports 2008 and WebElements

Hi.
It's possible to use "WebElements" with "Crystal Reports 2008"?
I try to do want is in the user guide but can´t make it work.
Even HTML Preview is not working.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Sérgio Martins

Hi Sergio,
In the future, we would be grateful if you could log a new post for each question. This allows us to be more efficient and help other customer who have the same question/issue easier to find the answer/solution.
In addition, for any question related to applications, please use the Developer forums.
I would suggest visiting our library at http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/sdklibrary and looking at the developer guide for the RAS SDK, either .net or java (I don't know which language your web application is developed in.
You may want to use the ReportClientDocument which is part of the RAS sdk.
The ReportClientDocument object model offers power and scalability for manipulating reports. It exposes the entire report structure in the SDK, which enables you to programmatically create, modify, and save changes to the report at run time.
I hope this helps,
Selenia

Crystal Reports 2008 and Excel data source

I want to use a large Excel-sheet (with 139569 lines) as a data source for a report. Crystal Reports 2008 only seems to accept Excel sheets as a data source if they are stored in Excel 97-2003 format. But, then there is a limit of 65536 lines and I miss more than half of the data I need to process. Does anyone have an idea how I can solve this problem??

Hello,
No work around in CR when connecting to xls files. CR can only use xls files which has the 65K row limit. Our next version does support xlxs files though. Cr for VS 2010 is available, no Designer outside of the IDE though. CR 2011 is still in beta and no release data announced yet.
For now all you can do is limit your sheets to 65k or export your XLS files to Access, must also be an MDB file type, not the new extended type. Once in an Access database now you can use it as your data sources.
You can use a temp database so it gets destroyed each time or simple delete all records. Up to you how to manage it.
Thank you
Don

Crystal reports 2008 and outlook. corrupted encoding

Hello everyone!
I have a problem: when i'm creating connection from crystal reports 2008 (v1, hf16) to outlook with data source outlook or outlook/exchange, crystal report show in subjects texts with corrupted encoding.
I have outlook 2008 and windows vista localized in russian language.
For example, when i'm creating connection through data source based on the ВО universe - texts shows correctly.
Have any ideas how to fix problem with outlook corrupted encoding?

Hi,
I would suggest to issue a message to SAP ( [http://service.sap.com/support] ) about this.
