  • Crystal Report using a Web Service as a data source?

    I am trying to figure out how to use a Web Service as a data source in Crystal Reports. When I use the report wizard, I do not see an option to select Web Service as a new connection. We are currently using Crystal Reports 2008 v12.1.0.892. Could it be that my version does not support this? Is there an update that contains this feature? Please help.

    Thanks for your response. Unfortunately I do not see a radio button for Web Services. I've read that it should be there too. Could it be a missing plug-in or patch?
    Here are screen shots of what I see when trying to connect to an XML. Any thoughts?

  • 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 Error Installing Service Pack 1

    Hello,
    I am trying to install Service Pack 1 for Crystal Reports 2008 on Windows 2008 Server as an adminstrator and I get the following error message:
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.  Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a fold containing the installation package "CrystalReports.msi" in the box below."
    Also, I have been unable to complete the registration wizard because I do not get a 10-digit registration number when I complete the registration process at www.sap.com/solutions/sap-crystal-solutions/productregistration .  I don't know if this problem might be causing the Service Pack 1 to not install.
    Thanks,
    Michele

    Hi Michele,
    Windows 2008 is not officially supported yet but it is for Vista and Windows 7 after SP 2.
    To get it to work uninstall first, make sure you keep your keycode and then download SP 3 full build:
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009989492010E/cr2008_sp3_fullbuild.zip
    Then it should work.
    Thank you

  • Report that uses web services as data source, prompts for database logon

    I have a crystal report that uses web services as a data source. When I deploy the report to Infoview it prompts me for a database username and password. Since I am not using a database it should not prompt me for these. I tried various options in the CMC->database settings for this report but it still prompts me for the database logon info or tells me that the database logon information is incorrect.
    The report work fine in the Crystal Reports Designer.
    Does anyone know how I can prevent this report from prompting me for the database logon info ?
    Thanks,

    What options have you tried in the CMC?
    Have you tried running the report in Crystal Reports installed directly on the Enterprise machine?

  • Consuming a Web service from Crystal reports 2008 - Error

    Hi,
    I want to consume a web service from Crystal Reports 2008. I created a New Connection using "XML and Web Services" and given WSDL url as the Web Service location. Crystal Report is able to connect to the WSDL and is displaying the tags correctly. When dragging the output to "Selected Tables' section, I am getting the following error:
    "Invalid Argument Provided"
    Details: Cannot support ArrayType input parameters.
    Kindly help. Apparently this was a limitation in CR XI but does it still exist in CR 2008? Is there any patch available to resolve this issue?
    Thanks,
    Jaya

  • Crystal Reports 2008 fails when called from e Web Service under 64bit OS

    I have discovered that Crystal Reports 2008 doesn't work when called from a Web Service running under 64bit Windows platforms (in my case Windows 2003 Server and Windows XP 64bit); practically no object is instantiated. I've tried several solutions without success.
    Before creating a wrapper component to use under COM+, is there anybody who has a better and cheaper solution than creating another component to wrap CR 2008 ?

    Hi Sergio,
    Before I mark this post as assumed answered I would just like to say and re-iterate that at this time there is no one answer and we fully understand your concerns. As you know in CR 6.0 it came in 16 and 32 bit versions because at the time 32 bit was relatively new but 16 bit was the norm. This is also true for 32 to 64 bit, 32 is the norm and 64 bit is relatively new. We know and are well aware 64 bit is the future and we are working as quickly as we can to move in that direction. Because of the complexity of the Product it's not simply a matter of re-compiling all of our dll's in 64 bit format. The core of our data connectivity with our database drivers which are dependant on third party clients must also need to support 64 bit modes. This as well as Printer drivers also need to be 64 compatable, there are a multitude of dependencies that we rely on that must add 64 bit support. As a programmer you are well aware of the issues around Thunking back and forth between 32 to 64 bits, it can cause delays and potentially loss of data which is a whole other issue. Not to mention also that we would have to ship both versions potentially doubling the size of the distribution packages or doubling the size of the dll's to have the ability to work in both modes. Relatively speaking of course, it would not be double the size but the variables would need to be able to allocate 32 or 64 memory blocks.
    The other option is to produce 2 separate versions, this alone is a massive project. Any issue would need to be fixed in separate code streams.
    So I'm sure you can see it's not simply a matter of saying yes we support 64 bit. It's a massive project that is going to take time to do and we have to wait for the third party drivers to commit also.
    Visual Studio .NET 2005 and 2008 is the only option if you want true 64 bit but you will be limited on what DB's you can support and export formats you can export to. They are the only drivers we did convert to 64 bit.
    Thank you for your understanding

  • Web service as a data source in Crystal Reports 2008

    Post Author: jpdv
    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
    I've tried to setup a new report using a web service as a data source.
    Untill now, I have not been successful. I always get the same error: unable to log on to data source.
    Is there any sample that I can try so that I understand what I'm doing wrong?
    Or any documentation on the subject?
    Thanks.

    Having the same issues here also.
    I can see the wsdl file being accessed successfully in the web access log, but Xcelsius v5.3 return "unable to load URL"
    Only thing I can guess is that the schema is "untyped"
    So, nobody in SAP has a solution?

  • Crystal Reports 2008 Web Application Error

    Post Author: Jeff Clark
    CA Forum: .NET
    Hello,
    I am using Crystal Reports 2008 and Visual Studio 2005 to create and deploy CR web applications. These applications are installed on a Windows 2003 R2 server with .Net 3.0. I have previously used CR XIR2 for this purpose but upgraded to 2008 because I needed the added functionality in cross-tab reports.
    Some of the reports in the web application are pulling from a MySQL database. I am using a JDBC driver (version 5.1.5) to connect Crystal to the database. When I was using CR XIR2, all I needed to do was add the path for the JDBC driver in the CRConfig.xml in "C:\Program Files\Business Objects\common\3.5\java" directory and everything worked great.
    The runtime files for CR2008 create a "C:\Program Files\Business Objects\common\4.0" directory, but there is no "java" subfolder and no CRConfig.xml. When I attempt to load one of the MySQL reports I get the following error.
    "Error in File %Report Name%.rpt: Failed to load database information. "
    Is there a way to load JDBC drivers in the CR2008 runtime files?

    I do not believe any java dlls are packaged in the runtimes for .net (same goes for the crdb_xml.dll, which is a java dll). I do not have a cr 2008 deployed server at the moment so I can not verify this.
       If you want to use java based db connectivity you will probably need to deploy them with your application.

  • First Page blank -Crystal Reports 2008 Service Pack 1 install issues

    Hi,
    After installation of  Crystal Reports 2008 Service Pack 1 - Redist Install on Web server. First page of all the reports are blank .But when next page is clicked next page displays information ,then previous page the report displayed.
    On loading the first page of the report is blank.
    The report is fine in Crystal reports
    After navigating to the second page - the data on the second page appears with no issues -
    Then Navigate back to the first page then the first page data appears.
    Thanks in advance .
    Regards
    Prakash

    Just to clarify why this needed to be done. The CR msm and msi files install the correct files into a bin directory. The bin directory is specific to the version of Crystal Reports. Also, the viewer files are installed into the default web site aspnet_client folder. Thus if an application is installed into a custom website, you will have issues, such as red X-es instead of images, errors, failure to load report, etc. For more documentation on this issue see these articles:

  • Crystal Report 2008 SP2 & InfoView: Custom XML Export doesnt work

    Hi,
    I have created a Crystal Report .rpt and want to use the custom xml export function to output a custom xml file. For that, I created a custom transformation file (xsl) and imported it into the .rpt . On the client machine, if I open the .rpt with Crystal Reports 2008 SP2, and select to export it using the custom xml output, all runs fine. (under SP1, only half the file was created...)
    If I upload the .rpt file to Infoview (server-side: BO Enterprise 3.1, SP2 as well) and schedule it, I can select xml, and then my custom xml as output format, but I am getting the error message u201EUngültige Exportoptionen" (="invalid export options"), in the instance history. No output file is created. I use file system as destination. Other output formats like .pdf and .rpt work fine and files are created.
    Ideas:
    -Are there any more settings needed on the server (e.g.CMC - Crystal Server Jobs, other Processes, ...) so I can schedule the report and successfully create the custom xml format file as output?
    -Do I need to upgrade to a specific SP or FP on server-side so everything runs smooth?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi,
      If you just need to download CR 2008 SP1, why don't you download it via the Support Portal
          Support Portal -> Software Downloads -> BusinessObjects Downloads -> Support Packages and Patches -> C -> Crystal Reports 2008.....
       If you don't have access or can't see the path mentioned above, you may need to request for access first.
