Crystal Reports 2008 Online Training

Not sure if this is the appropriate forum, but I don't see one on training.
Has anyone take the SAP Online Training courses for Crystal Reports 2008?
Did you find them beneficial?
Do you feel they provide adequate resources and train in a way the lends itself to helping you pass the certification exam?

It sounds like you have a really solid foundation for learning, so that will be a big help.  As to how useful the classes are for obtaining certification, it depends.  (Good) Instructor led will always be better, even if it's online, IMO, because a good instructor will be able to provide context to why you might consider doing something within Crystal Reports.  There are exercises in the classes, for example, on how to technically use a feature, but not necessarily instructions on appropriate use of or caveats to using the feature.
That being said, the certification exams themselves don't rely so much on experience as they do rote memory.  Thoroughly reading through the excellent Crystal Reports help file (one of the most comprehensive help files I've seen) in preparation for an exam can help greatly.
What do I mean when I say the exams are horrid?  Here's are examples based on my last exam:
It had a question about the proper name for a feature where the name doesn't exist in Crystal Reports or anywhere in the training guides (which I have, because I teach Crystal Reports).  I came back home, searched or the term in the help file.  It didn't exist...
I was asked 4 variations of the same question.   Seriously...  This can hose you, since most people will go back and verify they answered them all the same.  If one's wrong, they're all wrong...
There were multiple choice answer questions where it's really only important for you to know any one of the ways to do something, not every single way to do something.  Example:  Which 3 of these four answers will let you do X?  Why do you need to know all three ways when knowing one will get the job done? Does knowing that I can create a new formula by clicking a button or right-clicking make me more of an expert?  I had an interesting conversation with my boss the other day - we had a webex session going to review a report and everything she did was the opposite of what I would do (she clicked a button to create a formula and I right-click within the field explorer, for example).
I was asked a question for which there were two possible answers out of the four, but only one was allowed.   I could be right, but still get it wrong.  That's really irritating...
The tests are frustrating, to say the least.

  • Problem with keydecoder.dll in Crystal Reports 2008 Trial Version

    Hello,
    My company is interested in purchasing Crystal Reports 2008 and has asked me to download and try the trial version.  However, I have been running into a keydecoder.dll problem.  Setup was smooth and here are the details:
    Problem message:
    "Crystal Reports: Application Error Couldn't load keydecoder.dll"
    I have Windows Vista and I have already configured all permissions and administrative rights to the problem to full control.  I have also attempted to drag the keydecoder.dll application extension out of win32_x86 to the file folder crystal reports 2008.  I have also already attempted to reinstall and making a new program file location named 'Crystal Reports 2008'. 
    I'm running out of ideas and would appreciate some help.  Thank you

  • Crystal Reports 2008 connecting to Crystal Server 2011

    Hello SAP Experts,
    I am new with the Crystal Client/Server platform and the only knowledge I have with the infrastructure is from the Crystal Server 2011 documentation I have pulled from SAP's website.  I have looked at a lot of online resources but very few have the answers that I need.
    I built an instance of Crystal Server 2011 running on Windows Server 2008 R2.  Our clients are currently using Crystal Reports 2008 client where they connect directly to a SQL 2008 Data Warehouse to pull reports.
    For security reasons, they want to implement Crystal Server 2011 to connect to the SQL 2008 Data Warehouse as a single point of entry, instead of having several Crystal Reports 2008 clients connecting to the SQL Data Warehouse.
    The idea is to have the clients connect to the Crystal Server; the Crystal Server will then connect to the SQL Data Warehouse so clients can pull reports from it.
    My questions are:
    1.  Is it possible to connect a Crystal Reports 2008 client to Crystal Server 2011?  If so, how do I accomplish this?
    2.  Do I need to create a Universe in order for the Crystal clients to pull data/reports from the SQL 2008 Data Warehouse?  Or is there a way I can create a connection without a Universe?
    Any help offered is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Check our site for more info but in general CR fully respects all DB security, if the user does not have permissions on the table used in the report the report will fail to run.

  • 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

  • Crystal Reports 2008 - dynamic parameters not returing all data

    I am having the same issue with Crystal Reports 2008. Only returning 135 customers in a dynamic paramaters when the list should be 3288.
    When I re-create the parameter by using a command instead of relying on Crystal to return the data from the db table Crystal returns only 5"pages" of customers to select from.
    I have tried to run the report with this reduced selection & it then crashes.
    Any ideas??

    This article may help you to increase the number of values in the parameter
    KBase Article ID:c2017238
    Article refers to: Crystal Reports XI BusinessObjects Enterprise XI
    Symptom
    For performance reasons, in Crystal Reports XI Release 1 and Release 2 the maximum number of values that are returned for a list of values is set to 1000. If you have a cascading List of Values (for example Country > Region > City), the lowest level (in this case City) will only display a maximum of 1000 values. This means that the higher-level prompts may display far fewer values than you expect. The list of values provides the data for the dynamic parameter list.
    How can you modify the maximum number of values available in a dynamic parameter list?
    Resolution
    To increase the maximum number of values available in a dynamic parameter list, you must add a registry key.
    CAUTION     The following resolution involves editing the registry. Using the Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall the Microsoft Windows operating system. Use the Registry Editor at your own risk. For information on how to edit the registry key, view the 'Changing Keys and Values' online Help topic in the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
    It is strongly recommended that you make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat on Win9x computers) before you edit the registry.
    Crystal Reports XI Release 1
    1.     Create a registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV.
    NOTE     Alternatively, you can create the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV and that key will override the settings of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV key.
    2.     Add a string value "MaxRowsetRecords" and set the value to the maximum number of values that you desire for your report. For example, a value of 2000 will return up to 2000 values in the lowest level of a cascading parameter. NOTE: The value 0 (Unlimited) will not work with BusinessObjects Enterprise XI or Crystal Reports Server XI, you must specify another value.
    NOTE     The higher the number of values is, the longer it will take the Enter Values dialog box to populate with values.
    3.      After making changes to the registry, restart the affected service or application as required.
    Crystal Reports XI Release 2
    1.     Create a registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV.
    NOTE     Alternatively, you can create the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV and that key will override the settings of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV key.
    2.     Add a string value "MaxRowsetRecords" and set the value to the maximum number of values that you desire for your report. For example, a value of 2000 will return up to 2000 values in the lowest level of a cascading parameter. 
    NOTE     The value 0 (Unlimited) will not work with BusinessObjects Enterprise XI or Crystal Reports Server XI, you must specify another value.
    3.     After making changes to the registry, restart the affected service or application as required.

  • Runtime Error  loading Crystal Reports 2008

    Hi there
    I have recently purchased online in the sap site the bundled product that includes SAP Crystal Reports and SAP Crystal Dashboard Design on the sap website. For those I received only one key code
    I downloaded both products and manage to installed and load SAP Crystal Dashboard Design. I have installed SAP Crystal Reports (CR2008LPs_02142011.exe) everything goes well. When I start the program it loads for a second and then I get the following error:
    u201C Runtime Error!
    Program: c:\Program Files\Businessu2026
    This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
    Please contact the application support team for more information.u201D
    My OS is Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit
    I have tried the following:
    u2022     Uninstalling and reinstalling again
    u2022     Downloading the file again from the sap site in case the file was corrupted
    u2022     I have uninstalled CR and download the SAP Crystal Reports trial version from SAP site
    u2022     Trying to navigate to the registry to clear the registry for recent files (as I have seen in this thread Crystal Reports 2008 Runtime Error) . I get the following error message when I click on u201CHKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Business Objects/Suite 12.0/Crystal Reports/Recent Filesu201D. Error:
    "Error opening Hey:
    Crystal Reports cannot be opened
    An error is preventing this key from being opened

    I have been unsuccessful with all the above.
    I would appreciate if someone could help.
    Thanks in advance and regards,
    Santiago

    Hi Santiago,
    That error suggests you are not a local PC administrator. CR installs require you use an account that can update registry keys etc.
    Talk to your IT guys to give you full access to your PC or log on as the local PC Administrator and install it again.
    Thank you

  • Crystal Reports 2008 - automation and scheduling

    Hey there Crystal Reports experts... please answer this question:
    I've been evaluating the Crystal Reports 2008 package (client package) and have been able to generate some nice summary reports form our SQL database using summary pages which have multiple (up to 4) embedded sub-reports in them.  I think it's doing what I need it to, but my next hurdle is to automate the summary report for 100+ different customers of ours.  The criteria which changes for each customer is a table value in each subreport as well as the date range for the data on the report.  I also need to have the title in the report header of each customer, change to reflect the different customer name and date range.
    Is there a way to automate this with the standard Crystal Reports 2008 version?  I've found a few 3rd party applications online that take care of the Crystal Report automation and scheduling as well as conditional data selection at the same time... is that what I need to use if we don't have ther server version of Crystal, or can I automate it using just the standard 2008 client version??

    Hi,
    Yes, you need the CR 2008 client license to create the reports and then the server license to distribute the reports.
    CR Server 2008 is a single server reporting solution for distributing Crystal Reports only.  BOE is a full BI server that can be scaled beyond a single server solution.  In addition to just reporting it has other capabilities such as ad hoc query and analysis, dashboarding/scorecarding, etc.
    CR Server 2008 currently does not include the "Publishing" functionality yet.  Therefore, if you schedule the report to email, all users will see the exact same report.  BOE XI 3.1 does have "Publishing" which lets you burst the report so that through a single schedule, each user only sees their slice of the data for that report.  You can still use CR Server to accomplish something similar, but it would require you to setup an individual schedule per every customer where each schedule is configured to only return the appropriate data for that customer.  This would require a little more effort to setup and maintain.

  • Crystal Reports 2008 - Report off of Active Directory

    Hello,
    I have found a few articles on how to do this, but they don't seem to follow my wizard.
    Can someone provide a tutorial on how to create a Crystal Reports 2008 report against active directory?
    I have been able to do the following so far:
    1) Create new OLE DB (ADO) connection
    2) From Provider, choose OLE DB Provider for Microsoft Directory Services.
    3) The fields I have are Data Source, User ID, and Password.
       - I do not have a field for "LOCATION" that is referenced in documentation I have found on here.
    4) I enter my server.domain.com:389 for active directory, a valid username and password.
    5) It seems to create the connection, and wants me to ADD COMMAND. I haven't been able to find a command that actually works online. Does anyone have one? I.e.: Employee and Supervisor names.
    Thank you,
    Lin

    backing up a step or two, make sure that the username you are using has a domain alias infront of it, something like "mydomain\myusername" should be the correct format. even if you don't get an error when you create the connection it may be incorrect. when entering in a command is the only time it actually tries to authenticate against the AD server. If you make a mistake when entering in the original connection (anytime before the add command part) remember that you will need to exit out of Crystal Reports and come back in. the connection can not be remade or edited once entered.
    Now, as for what to put into the query, you will probably need to talk with your windows AD administrators. the one I used for my organization was something like this (replace the stuff between the <> marks with your data):
    SELECT samaccountname, sn, givenname, mail FROM 'LDAP://OU=<yourOU>,DC=<yourdomain1>,DC=<yourdomain2>'
    remember you can not use * to get data, it seems to take what ever properties you directly name. if you need names of properties or items to call, I'd recommend a quick google search on LDAP SQL queries.
    I hope this helps

  • Connecting Crystal Report 2008 to SAP SRM

    Hi all,
    I have a customer that would like to use Crystal Reports 2008 to report SAP SRM data.  Is this possible?  We already have the integration kit. 
    What steps must I take?
    I know to connect Crystal to SAP CRM all I have to do is import the ERP transports on to the SAP CRM application server.  Is the process the same with SRM?
    Please advise.
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Jenny

    Hi Jenny,
    For now I'll move this post to the Integration kit forum. Some of our engineers are getting trained on connecting SAP datasources so for now your best place to get an answer is likely the Integration kit forum.
    Thank you

  • Crystal Report 2008 SP3 and BO XI 3.1 conflict

    Hi every body,
    We have a BOE system:
    BO XI 3.1
    Oracle db 10g
    All running successful and can create some types of WebI report.
    But we also want reports with Crystal Report.
    1> So we install Crystal Report 2008 SP3 (without knowing the conflict error between BO XI 3.1 and Crystal Report 2008 SP3 and overwrite some .dll file). After installing, we can not create WebI report any more. And a error message box display: "DBDriver failed to load: C:\Program File\Business Objects\BusinessObjects ENterprise12.0\win32_x86\dataAccess\connectionServer\dbd_oci.dll ".
    2> We uninstall Crystal Report SP3. But this is not the solution. Still error because of missing .dll files.
    3> We open BO XI 3.1 setup and repair BO XI 3.1. Even we uninstall BO XI 3.1, delete all of its components and delete in regedit key. We install BO XI 3.1 again. Now we have full .dll file, not missing them any more. But when we open universe and click on Table browser, cannot fetching any tables.
    We set rights for Oracle DB user again. But still error: cannot fetching.
    4> We searched the solution for this problem on the internet. But not worked, no answer.
    Can somebody help me bring back the BOE system state again ? pls   :"<
    T______T

    Hi Paul,
    I hope I read your question right!
    Yes, It is possible to run XIR2 and 3.1 on the same server although it's not recommended by BO. You will need to make sure they are both pointing to different CMS databases and different FRS repositories, like you already mentioned you will need to specify different ports for the CMS db and Tomcat.
    Why not uninstall Business Objects XI R2 in your BO development environment or a spare server (if you have one), and do a clean install of XI 3.1 SP3.
    Tip: If you were already having performance issues with your XI R2 environment, I would seriously consider upgrading the hardware. XI 3.1 needs a bit more RAM and CPU than XI R2

  • Error while dynamically setting logo image in Crystal Report 2008

    Hi,
    We have embedded Crystal Report 2008 JRC in our web application which is an Enterprise Archive (EAR) deployed on WebSphere Application Server.
    The RPT files bundulled in the archive displays a logo which is dynamicalli picked up by the RPT files from a configured location. Due to this the Report generation crashes when travesed to the sub reports/ groups within RPT. We have observed that this problem never occures if the logo is hard coded within the RPT files.
    The report crashing causes another big problem, it crashes the Applciation Server too. This is major concern to us and we need a resolution to this problem.
    Thanks in advance

  • Not able to get the tables in crystal report 2008

    Hi,
    I am using crystal report 2008 and trying to connect MS SQL using OLE DB (ADO) connection. After giving all DB credentials data base tables are not appearing in the connection. how to get the tables for selection in crystal report 2008.
    Regards,
    Sree

    In the CR Designer, select the connection and press the right mouse button. Select Options in the context menu and check if there is an entry in the Table name fiel. Maybe you have a placeholder there that does not match the names of the tables in the database. Just remove it, close the window by pressing OK and refresh the connection browser (press F5). Unfold the connection again and check if you can see the tables now.
    Regards,
    Stratos

  • Exporting Options in Crystal Reports 2008

    I am using Crystal Reports 2008 to make my report for my users.   I am also programming a viewer in vb 2005 so the users can view the report without changing it.  In the viewer I need to be able to export to excel or pdf or any other format.  I want the user to be able to specify where and how to export the report.  However when they press on the export button it is giving a save as dialog box, which, while it gives options to save as excel or pdf, it does not give the options such as to application, or to file, which are there in the full crystal report product. 
    My form gets the report name, sets up the data source and then displays it in a
    CrystalReportViewer object. 
    CrystalViewer.ReportSource = MyReportDocument
            CrystalViewer.DisplayToolbar = True
            CrystalViewer.ShowRefreshButton = False
            CrystalViewer.DisplayStatusBar = True
            CrystalViewer.EnableDrillDown = True
            CrystalViewer.EnableRefresh = False
            CrystalViewer.EnableToolTips = True
            CrystalViewer.ShowExportButton = True
    The export button is there, it just does not give all of the options that I would have expected.  I see there are ways to programatically use the options, however the export dialog box that appears in crystal reports 2008 would be useful to the user here.  Is there a way to make that box show up.  Perhaps it should be and I am doing something wrong.  I am very new to .net and crystal 2008, we used to use crystal 8.0 with vb6 for a viewer.  In that version the export dialog box showed up correctly.  Thank you for your help.  Also, if i am posting this in the wrong forum area please let me know so i can post it where it should be.

    You are doing things the correct way, unfortunately the export dialog is very basic.  If you want this extra functionality, you will have to code it yourself.

  • 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 Repository Explorer

    Hi,
    I am new to Crystal Reports 2008. I want to use Crystal Reports 2008 Repository.  My question is as it was done in Crystal Report 9 Professional edition that a crystal report developer can create a Repository while using Crystal Report 9 Professional edition without Crystal report Server, Is this also possible with Crystal Report 2008. If we only have Crystal Report 2008 designer or developer edition, can we create Repository's i.e.  Text Objects,  Images,  Custom Functions,  SQL  Commands etc without having Crystal Report 2008 Server, if yes please let me know the method.
    Thanks in advance
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I was on web found this link
    http://www.crystalkeen.com/articles/crystalreports/repository.htm
    which says that:
    Crystal Reports: Repository
    A solid understanding of the repository can really improve the the efficiency, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness of your reports. Hammerman and Associates offers classes on this very subject. We aren't going to cover all of it here, but will provide some highlights.
    Use the CR9 Repository for those commonly used objects
    The Crystal Reports 9.0 repository is a great place to store some commonly used items in your report. This includes text strings, images, SQL Commands (see next item) and Custom Formulas.
    The Repository is initially stored in an Access database and has an ODBC connection with the System DSN of u201CCrystal Repository.u201D But you can use any ODBC data source including a database in your network so you can all share the same common objects.
    Create a new database for the repository. We recommend you copy the existing MS-Access database, but you can start with an empty database. (The initial repository is Repository_en.mdb, stored in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.0\bin).
    Create an ODBC connection to the new database. The new database does not have to be an Access database. If you use your SQL Server or Oracle server then, by using server security you can control who can view and who can edit items in the repository.
    You next need to set Crystal Reports 9.0 to use this new Database connection. This control information is stored in an INI file and can be edited with any text editor such as NotePad. The INI file is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.0\bin\orMap.ini .
    There is a line in this file that saysu2026 Crystal Repository=Crystal Repository .
    Edit this to say Crystal Repository=New ODBC DSN.
    Is this also possible with Crystal Report 2008 designer/developer edition.
    Thanks
    Vipin
