Crystal Reports 2008 to BOBJ 4.0 Migration error

Hi,
We are runnign BusinessObjects 3.1. We are also running Crystal Reports 2008 in VM Windows environement
I am trying to migrate CR to BusinessObjects 4.0 but getting error:
"Import file parsing exception occured: 'Element type "io:Integer" must be followed by either attribute specifications, "> or "/>.' (FWM 04009)
Here are the steps I take and more information.
CR are using connection to Oracle DB
I log on to BOBJ 3.1 system and create BIAR ful and put it on shared drive.
Log on to BOBJ 4.0 and launch Upgrade Management Tool and select optopn BIAR to Live.
After selecting BIAR file when I click next above mentioned error comes. No mater what option I seledt. These reports are not using any Universe.
I will appreciate your help.
Thanks

Moved to BOE Admin forum.
I suggest you create a case in SMP and work with a Rep to debug the issue.

Crystal Report 2008 results "Password did not match error" in SQL Server Log

Hi,
I am trying to develop some crystal reports using Crystal Report 2008 SP4 to connect to SQL server 2008 through RDO (ODBC). My problem is that anytime Crystal Report is trying to establish a connection with SQL Server, first it tries to connect with the wrong password and results the following error message in SQL Server log:
Login failed for user 'peyman'. Reason: Password did not match that for the login provided. [CLIENT: 192.168.2.198]
The login name 'peyman' is the right one as I have quoted the same in setting up ODBC System DSN using "SQL Server Native Client 10". But somehow Crystal Report is taking its chance and trying to connect before prompting me for the password. After this error logged to SQL server side, I can see Crystal Report pops up the prompt to enter DSN password. After supplying password to this prompt, Crystal Report works fine and pulls the data and renders the report without having any more incorrect password error logged to SQL Server.
The attached file shows the step I am taking to regenerate the issue. I need this to be fixed as anytime uses any of these reports and tries to render it with crystal runtime engine the same error message raises in SQL Server side and logged in the log file.
Thanks,

Hi Peyman,
This is the way it should work, In CR designer when you open the report it does nothing. As soon as you hit the Refresh button then CR tries to use the connection saved with the report. It assumes what is saved with the report is a valid server and connection info. CR simply tries to verify the server is still active.
If you don't want it to fail in CRD then before opening any report Click the File, Log on Database option and connect. Now when refreshing reports it won't log the failed.
In the SDK it does the same thing, it assumes the Server info is the same and does try to connect to verify the Server does exist. It only takes a few milli-seconds to do this
To stop this from happening set the log on info first then it won't log the attempt to connect, it's checking to see if Trusted is allowed.

Notice it doesn't try to connect first if I set the log on info first using code.
So nothing we can do to stop SQL server from logging this info. Check with the DBA, possibly they can "filter" out the application attempts to connect or change your work flow in the app.
If you have a Preview Button to view the report then simply add your Database log on info prompt there if Connectioninfo.Trusted is not true:
mainSecureDB = rpt.Database.Tables[tableIndex].LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.IntegratedSecurity;
if mainSecureDB = false then prompt the user for log on info and set accordingly, if it is true the it should not fail when it connects.
This is simply a matter of changing your App work flow...
Thanks

*Crystal Reports 2008 connection to oracle 11g database error IM003*

Hi ,
I am getting the following error when connecting to Oracle 11 g database using Crystal Reports 2008.
_Logon Failed:Details: IM003:Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 127 ( Oracle in OraClient11g).
Datebase Vendor Code:160.
The Login and Pw that I am using are correct.
*Could you please let me know any steps that i need to do to resolve this problem.
Thanks!*

Hello,
I haven't seen that error in years... There was a version of Oracles client that did not put the client install into the PATH statement.
Add the Oracle ...\Bin folder to your System Environment variables and then it should work.
Thank you

No SAP Datasources or SAP Toolbar in Crystal Reports 2008

I cannot see the SAP toolbar or SAP datasources under "Create New Connection" in Crystal Reports 2008 SP1.
After reading many threads on SDN and reistalling Crystal Reports 2008 SP1 and the BOBJ SAP Integration Kit many times I have not been able to get this to work. I have installed the following in order:
- SAP GUI for Windows
Release: 710
Build: 1046700
Patch Level: 12
includes the BW 3.5 AddOn and BI 7 AddOn
Crystall Reports 2008 SP1 which I installed all components except Legacy XML Export.
Business Objects XI Integration Kit XI 3.1 for SAP which I installed all desktop components and all server components excluding web content and SDK. This was a local install on my PC.
I have ensured that I have only one instance of SAPLOGON.ini on my PC.
I have not applied the transports yet because I want to see the SAP datasources and SAP toolbar in Crystal Reports before I progress.
We do not have Business Objects Enterprise and I'm not sure what "BOE 3.1 Client Tools" is referred to earlier in this thread. My understanding is that in addition to SAP and BW we just need Crystal Reports 2008 and the SAP integration kit.
We are on ECC6 and BW 3.5.
I hope someone can help.

Hi Stratos,
Thanks for your response. I finally got this working. My issue was that I originally used the Crystal Reports 2008 and BOBJ Int Kit downloads from the SAP support portal. I checked with another SDN user Steven Dierick - thanks Steven - for the version of Crystal Reports 2008 he was using (version 12.0.0.683).
I downloaded Crystal Reports 2008 version 12.0.0.683 and the BOBJ Int Kit from the downloads section of sdn and it works!! SAP Toolbar, datasources and everything.
Considering I'm using Crystal Reports 2008 SP0 are there any disadvantages of not using Crystal Reports 2008 SP1?
If I'm better off using SP1 where should I download Crystal Reports 2008 SP1 and the appropriate BOBJ SAP Integration Kit?
cheers,
John

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

PrintMode="ActiveX" & Crystal Reports 2008

Using CR XI.5, we were having our users print crystal reports in our .NET web application using a CrystalReportViewer and setting the PrintMode="ActiveX".
To do this, we had to add this to our Web.Config:
<configSections><sectionGroup name="businessObjects"><sectionGroup name="crystalReports"><section name="reportMappings" type="CrystalDecisions.Shared.ReportMappingHandler, CrystalDecisions.Shared, Version=11.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304, Custom=null"/></sectionGroup></sectionGroup></configSections>
<businessObjects><crystalReports><reportMappings><add reportName="ClassLabels.rpt" path="Reports\ClassLabels.rpt"/><add reportName="ClassStarted.rpt" path="Reports\ClassStarted.rpt"/><add reportName="ClassStatus.rpt" path="Reports\ClassStatus.rpt"/><add reportName="inactivestudents.rpt" path="Reports\inactivestudents.rpt"/><add reportName="NewClassLabels.rpt" path="Reports\NewClassLabels.rpt"/></reportMappings></crystalReports></businessObjects>
Since we upgraded to Crystal Reports 2008 last night, we are getting errors in our app. I tried upgrading the control Version number in the Web.Config, but I am getting an error saying it can't find CrystalDecisions.Shared.ReportMappingHandler.
An error occurred creating the configuration section handler for businessObjects/crystalReports/reportMappings: Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Shared, Version=12.0.1100.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
After removing the above code out of the web.config, I am getting an error when trying to print from IE that says
IE Security Warning
Windows has blocked this software because it can't verify the publisher.
Name: PrintControl.cab
Publisher: Unknown Publisher
Any ideas? I just created a brand new app with a new crystal report and was able to recreate the error. Thanks in advance for your help.

We are using Visual Studio 2008 actually.
Like I mentioned, I created a brand new app with a brand new CR 2008 report and got the error as well so I don't believe the issue to be in the actual reports.
I installed the CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.exe from a download last week of cr120_redist_install.zip.
When I add the code below to my Web.Config, the app builds properly and the dialog boxes load properly on my local system.
<configSections>
        <sectionGroup name="businessObjects">
            <sectionGroup name="crystalReports">
                <section name="reportMappings" type="CrystalDecisions.Shared.ReportMappingHandler, CrystalDecisions.Shared, Version=12.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/>
            </sectionGroup>
        </sectionGroup>
    </configSections>
    <businessObjects>
        <crystalReports>
            <reportMappings>
                <add reportName="myreport.rpt" path="myreport.rpt"/>
            </reportMappings>
        </crystalReports>
    </businessObjects>
But when I upload that code to my Windows 2003 server, I get the IE Script Error mentioned above.

Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 Install Error

When I try to install Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 I receive the following error...
The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not available.
Insert the 'Crystal Reports 2008 SP1' disk and click OK.
SP1 was installed via the upgrade utility that launches with the software. I found the package folder in C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Temp but it did not contain the MSI SP2 is looking for.
I've tried installing SP2 by both letting the update utility attempt to automatically install it and by just downloading it from the update utility and running the installation manually.
Anyone experience this issue?

Migrating crystal reports XI to crystal reports 2008

Hi,
Currently we are using crystal Reports XI for our reporting.
Planning to migrate to Crystal Reports 2008.
Do we need to change all reports ,which are developed in Cr Rep XI.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Ravi

The source of the problem is the "re-import when opening" option on the sub-report - if I remove the tick, the report is saved to the repository and the program does not crash. Is this a known issue, or is there some restriction in 2008 which did not exist in XI that I am not aware of. I did download Crystal reports 2008 SP2 but I have not installed as the notes say it is not compatable with Server 2008 SP1.
I have the follow versions installed...
Crystal Reports 2008: 12.1.0.892
Crystal Server 2008: 12.1.0
CMS database is on SQL Server 10.0.2531

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
Atul

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.

Invalid export DLL or export format" with Crystal Reports 2008 to Excel xls

We are experiencing the same issue as reported in the sticky thread. I answered in that thread, but thought that I woudl open a new thread to keep track of this issue. I can give you the responses to your questions you have requested in that thread:
Server Operating System - MS Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition SP2
Version of the .NET Framework - MS .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
How did you deploy? - Installed CR 2008 SP1 runtime with msi package
If you deployed with CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.msi - what was the date of the file and its size? CRRuntime_12_1_mlb.msi dated Sept. 16, 2008 12:55:00 PM, size: 56,717,824 bytes
What is the file version of crpe32.dll on your server? You'll find this in the C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 directory - File was created 9/13/08 11:21AM, 9451KB File Version: 12.1.0.882
How many libpng10.dll files are on your system? List all instances. - 1 instance is on the system located in C;\Program Files\Business Objects\Business Objects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 directory. It is dated 9/13/08 8:52:26AM 132KB version 1.0.30.1
Any additional comments - We have tried to export to PDF and this works successfully. However, we can not export to xls or rft formats.
CRXF_XLS.dll is 905KB 9/13/08 9:38AM Version 12.1.0.882
CRXF_RTF.dll is 509KB 9/13/08 9:35AM Version 12.1.0.882
We also have the CR XIR2 server runtime installed side by side on the server as we migrate from CR 2008 to CR XIR2 SP4 ( where this function does work currently).
Please let me know if you need anything additional.

"Invalid export DLL or export format" with Crystal Reports 2008
Posted: Sep 27, 2008 12:36 AM       E-mail this message      Reply
I've included this sticky because we are seeing many posts in this forum regarding the error Invalid export DLL or export format when exporting to Excel and RTF in .NET applications using the Crystal Reports 2008 .NET SDK.
Issue
Exporting a Crystal Report to Excel or RTF format
.NET application using the Crystal Reports 2008 runtime (version 12.0)
error Invalid export DLL or export format
We've been doing some testing in-house and haven't reproduced this behavior. In order to figure this issue out we will need your help. If you are getting this error please reply to this post with the following information:
Server Operating System
Version of the .NET Framework
How did you deploy?
If you deployed with CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.msi - what was the date of the file and its size?
What is the file version of crpe32.dll on your server? You'll find this in the C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 directory
How many libpng10.dll files are on your system? List all instances.
Any additional comments
What We Know
The error invalid export DLL or export format may occur when exporting to Excel and RTF formats in .NET applications utilizing the Crystal Reports 2008 runtime (v 12.0)
Other export formats like Adobe PDF, Crystal Reports, CSV all export with no error
Some customers have resolved this by adding C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 to their environment path variables
This may have something to do with the file libpng10.dll. Both crxf_xls.dll and crxf_rtf.dll are dependent on it.
Thanks in advance for your co-operation. We hope to figure out what is causing this issue soon.

Hi,
I am also having the same problem, except that I am not using Crystal Report 2008 runtime but the actual Crystal Report 2008 installation on Windows XP SP2 with VS Studio 2005 (VC++). MS .NET Framework 2.0.
Cyrstal Report XIR2 was installed on the same machine but uninstalled before installing Crystal Report 2008.
So only one instance of libpng10.dll and found in C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86
Crpe32.dll        3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
Crxf_xls.dll       3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
Crxf_rtf.dll         3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
crdb_oracle.dll 3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
libpng10.dll       3/1/2008 version 1.0.30.0             122880 bytes
There is no problem for exporting to pdf, html, word, csv, Crystal Report. If I create a testing report without any data from database, the testing report can then be exported also to rtf and xls.
Oracle 11.1.0.6 is the DB for the reports.
Adding C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 to the path did not resolve my problem.
Any idea to fix this issue?
Thanks

Crystal reports 2008 Set optional parameter value

Hi,
I'm working with .net Visual Studio 2008 C# and Crystal reports 2008 (Crystal.Decisions) and when I try to set a parameter to optional and set its value to no value, it returns the error: "Invalid parameter name", here is my code:
foreach (CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterField param in Report.ParameterFields)
                        if (!param.HasCurrentValue &&
                            !Report.DataDefinition.ParameterFields[param.Name].IsLinked())
                            switch (param.ParameterValueType)
                                case ParameterValueKind.NumberParameter:
                                    param.IsOptionalPrompt = true;
                                    param.CurrentValues.IsNoValue = true;
                                    break;
I'm doing this because some of the parameters can be left null, and in this case I don't want to show the parameter prompt.
In past versions of Crystal (such as Crystal Reports 11.5) we had the chance to left the parameter value null and did not showed the parameter prompt dialog, and this behavior repeats in a lot of reports.
thanks in advanced

Please don't post the same question more than once. This is a public forum so be patient.

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

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 2008 / JavaScript hyperlink formula/ Issue

Hi,
We've developed the Crystal Report using the Crystal Reports 2008 software & integrated it in asp.net web page and also deployed in IIS web server. We have a requirement like opening the sub report in a new window. We have integrated the sub report also in a asp.net web page & passing the parameters in URL & acheived it..
For the above, we have used JavaScript code like "javascript:window.open('SubReport.aspx','...','..' ...)" in the hyperlink formula field of main report. It works fine while running using VS 2005 in the development box.
But in production serer (Windows 2003 server), the JS URL in the formula field is not working properly. Instead , it is rendered as a drill down JS url. Like javascript:bobj.event.publish('drilldown',........)
Can you please help us to resolve this issue?
(OR) Do we have any other approach to open the web page in new window from CR (same like a popup window)
Thanks

I understand that the point of this is to allow the URL link to open the Subreport.aspx page in a new window. This can be problematic due to cross-site scripting restrictions. A few years ago we found that it was possible for report writers to add JavaScript to reports. This isn't a problem if the report writers are honest and nice. However, it is possible for JavaScript to be malicious so that ability to include JavaScript was turned off when the app uses our webform viewers. There may be a way to turn it off in the registry though. This is documented for CR XI r2 [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_boj_erq/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do].
I am not sure if this reg key works for the .NET viewer, though the note specifies DHTML and .NET InfoView, so CR should work also. As you are using CR 2008, I suspect the key would be:
HKLMSoftwareBusiness ObjectsSuite 12.0Crystal Reports
You will most likely have to add the Export folder, then add the HTML folder, then add the EncodeHTMLForSingleLineFieldObjects and set it to "no".
Please note that this is a hack / workaround found for CR XI r2. The functionality you are looking to exploit was removed for a reason. As such if the above does not work for CR 2008, it will not be considered to be a "bug" and we will not be able to send this to R&D for a resolution.

Crystal Report 2008 - Cross tab in subreport doesn't expand horizontally

Hello,
i'm migrating all my company's reports from crystal report X to crystal report 2008.
And i'm facing the following issue:
when a sub-report contains a cross-tab that is too large for one page, in crystal report X a second horizontal page is generated, but in Crystal report 2008 the second horizontal page is not visible.
Is it a known bug, is there a patch to install?

Hi Abhilash,
thank you for your answer, but this workarround does not works in my case.
My main report is just a container for multiple subreports and some of them contains crosstab that can grow on several pages horizontally and vertically.
For example i have some crosstab that can span on more than 5 pages vertically and on 2 pages horizontally.
I tried to create an empty cross tab that span on 2 horizontal pages in the main report, and to mask it. That works for the first vertical page of the subreport but only for this one. Moreover if the first page of the crosstab contained in the subreport does not span horizontally, this solution create an unwanted empty page.

Cannot see System DSN in Crystal Reports 2008 on Vista/Windows 2008

I've been making quite a bit of progress in switching migrating our Crystal Reports 8.0 reports and apps to Crystal Reports 2008 on our Windows 2008 server, but am currently stuck on a DSN issue that I hope someone here can help me out with.
When I go to select a new ODBC data source in Crystal Reports 2008, the only ODBC data sources that show up in the list are User DSNs. These reports will be served via our intranet website, so I need to use System DSNs. The same is true on both my development computer running 64-bit Vista and the production server running Windows Server 2008.
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 (C#) for development along with Crystal Reports 2008 (not the Crystal Reports Basic that comes with Visual Studio).
How can I use a System DSN? Any help or advice will be much appreciated!

Hi, Paul;
The first thing to check is to ensure you are creating a 32 bit ODBC DSN, and not a 64 bit one. Crystal Reports 2008 is 32 bit only.
